That's right, although this meal was a "Hongmen Banquet", Liu Xiao also decided to let everyone starve to death. At least get these people drunk first, so that if there is a conflict, the casualties can be minimized.
"Come on, come on~~~Try this white wine Erguotou~! Its strong aroma is more than ten times stronger than the beer we just drank~!"
Liu Xiao distributed the poured liquor to each guest. He also raised a glass and drank it in one sip.
The others had not yet drank, but they were almost drunk by the strong aroma of wine. Now that they saw that their boss had drunk, they couldn't wait to pour the wine into their stomachs one by one.
But the moment the wine entered the mouth, many people present spurted it out with a "pop" sound.
"Cough cough cough cough~~~!"
Waves of violent coughing sounded at the same time. These mercenaries had never drunk liquor before, and now they felt that what they swallowed was not liquid, but a burning fire!
It can be said that Nurwok is worthy of being the leader of the Lai Scar Mercenary Group. After he drank a glass of white wine in one gulp, although the expression on his face changed back and forth several times in one second, he suppressed the vomiting and
Feeling the urge to cough, he turned his head to look at Liu Xiao, who had a normal expression, and extended his thumb.
"Delicious...! Enough! This is the kind of wine a man should drink!"
"Hehehe~~ Mr. Nurwok is definitely a real man! Come~~ pour another drink for our guests~!"
In this way, in the trial between Liu Xiao and Nurwok, who had their own hidden agendas and tried to flatter each other, a bottle of liquor was quickly consumed.
At this time, three middle-level backbones of the Lai Scar Mercenary Group were already lying under the table, extremely drunk. The others were only a few steps away from being drunk.
At this time, Liu Xiao ordered someone to get another bottle of foreign wine.
Nurvok shook his head hard and saw that the wine bottles had strange symbols and numbers printed on them. He didn't recognize those symbols at all. He only remembered a cross and a circle.
After another ten minutes, Liu Xiao was playing with the transparent glass wine glass in his hand, and then drank up the liquid in it with a "sizzle" sound.
For his drinking capacity, even without any magic blessing or potion help, it is no problem to drink two kilograms of Erguotou based on his own drinking capacity. Today, before he can exert himself, these natives of the other world fainted one by one.
passed.
"A bunch of trash...Is it so easy to eat and drink the food and drinks given by others?"
Looking at the top-level cadres of the mercenary group who were drunk all over the floor, a dog-headed military advisor who was waiting for news about the boss's attack trotted in with buck teeth.
He originally thought that everyone here was going to have a fierce battle today, but he never thought that the boss drank alone and drank all these dozen people! It's amazing~! He is indeed the favored one of God! He must have been blessed by the Creator.
~!
"Boss, what should we do now? Just kill them like this and consider them lucky! They can die in their sleep and drink such fragrant wine before they die..."
Buck Teeth glanced at the white wine remaining on the table. The rich smell already made him unable to help but lick his lips.
Liu Xiao looked as usual, put down the wine glass, stood up, dusted off his clothes and said: "Dig a hole and bury it, then I have to deal with other more important things. Remember, buck teeth, once you decide to do something,
No more hesitation, no chance of a counterattack by the enemy. Take action."
The buck-toothed wolf eyes showed a fierce light, and he nodded heavily to Liu Xiao, and then a sharp dagger appeared in his hand.
At the same time, some chamber of commerce employees walked in and took away all the food and drinks from the table. Others, with their buck-toothed expressions on their faces, walked into the tent holding daggers in their hands.
Bucktooth followed what the boss just said and never gave the other party a chance to counterattack!
Together with several newly recruited subordinates who walked in later, he stabbed the necks and hearts of the middle-level backbones of more than a dozen mercenary groups with daggers more than ten times!
Then he followed the boss's instructions and dug a big pit near the corner of the city wall, buried the dozens of souls who had lost their souls in their sleep, and piled many boxes of goods on the re-buried ground.
If someone hadn't used the army to dig this place out, I might never know where the leader of Lai Scar's mercenary group had gone.
After walking out of the tent, Liu Xiao changed his clothes under Rosa's service, while the orc warriors and Arthur were already waiting there fully armed.
"Boss, we are ready."
Liu Xiao snapped his fingers and said: "Let's go, let us use the power of thunder to frighten the mercenaries and adventurers with ulterior motives in the abandoned castle, and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and destroy all their illusions!"
Liu Xiao signaled to take action, and a dozen heavily armed soldiers responded "yes" and walked towards the center of the abandoned fort with neat steps.
Ten minutes after they left, there were continuous "bang bang bang" sounds in the streets of the abandoned fort, as well as the sounds of someone shouting and cursing loudly.
But the chaos returned to calm in a short period of time. Not only that, it seemed that even the evil beasts outside the city wall felt some kind of danger, and began to retreat at a faster speed, detouring towards both sides of the ruined fort.
The city center of the abandoned fort was originally the residence of Nurvok, the leader of the Lai Scar Mercenary Group.
Liu Xiao stood on the balcony of the towering mansion and looked at the distant scenery outside the city.
It was a whole team of fully armed cavalry, wearing metallic armor, riding tall horses, holding spears and scimitars at their waists, rushing all the way from the north with an indomitable momentum.
The evil spirits outside the city seemed to feel the approach of a large number of cavalry and dispersed one after another. They acted completely out of instinct.
However, this elite cavalry team, numbering over a thousand men, was personally ordered by King Orange II to rush south from the nearest fortress to aid the abandoned fort.
For Orange II, the existence of the ruined fortress is important, but Liu Xiao and his Riot Chamber of Commerce and the goods they sell are even more important!
Once something changes in the cursed land, the Riot Chamber of Commerce will bear the brunt and withdraw from there.
Where can they go after they withdraw? They can't go anywhere! With so many employees and goods, they can only choose to retreat into the abandoned fortress.
Therefore, under the king's urgent order, the cavalry did not delay for a moment and rushed from the north with full charge. It took less than a day to complete this long-distance rescue mission.
Under the impact of the powerful and heavily armed cavalry, the remaining evil beasts were trampled and crushed. The siege of the ruined fort was truly lifted at this moment.
At this moment, Gallup, the leader of the knights who was responsible for rushing to the abandoned fort, lifted his visor and looked at the dilapidated town, feeling a little strange.
Is it a little too quiet in the abandoned fort? There were no cheers from reinforcements, nor shouts and curses from fights... When did these people become so organized and disciplined? Aren't they all mercenaries and
Adventurer?
Just as he was thinking this, the door of the ruined castle was pushed open with a creaking sound, and an imposing young man with short blond hair walked out.
Gallup narrowed his eyes and looked at the man carefully. When the man walked a few steps further, he said "Ah" and blurted out: "Instructor? Instructor Arthur!"
Yes, although Gallup was older than Arthur, he had been fortunate enough to receive combat training from Arthur at the King of Orange, so he naturally recognized his instructor.
He saw instructor Gallup dismounting from his horse, throwing the reins to the retinue aside, taking two quick steps to remove his helmet, putting one hand on his chest and bowing slightly with his upper body in a salute.
"Instructor! I hope there is no delay in Gallup's rescue! Is everything okay in the abandoned fort?"
Arthur could naturally hear what the other person meant by "everything is okay". That "everything" actually represented one person, their boss Liu Xiao.
Arthur nodded, but his face was a little solemn and he said: "Gallup, the crisis here has been resolved. I need you to take people back to the capital immediately to deliver the news to His Majesty the King and the Chairman! Just say that the ownership of the abandoned castle has changed hands.
Nurwok, the leader of the Lai Scar Mercenary Group, unfortunately died in battle while resisting a magic attack! Most of the mercenary group's cadres were killed or injured, and his team is no longer able to maintain itself, and the abandoned fort has been taken over by Boss Liu."
