Lao Ba, on his side, watched Duo Ye leave unhappily and didn't pay much attention. The situation is now very favorable to Mr. Hu, and he must seize the opportunity to pursue the victory, consolidate the situation, and eliminate all future troubles.
And the top priority now is not to explain to Master Duo, or to eliminate Master Duo's anger. The most important thing is to find the missing village owner Cen Qi.
Otherwise, if Cen Qi is allowed to escape, there may be huge troubles later.
In the manor, Butler Lao Zhu, with the armed forces of the manor, was still carrying out a desperate resistance. Since Butler Lao Zhu has always been wary of Mr. Hu, even if the city gate was lost, Butler Lao Zhu's emergency mechanism was quickly activated. The elite men of the manor quickly seized several important strongholds and voluntarily gave up some territory.
After all, Butler Lao Zhu is still the boss of this castle, and his familiarity with the terrain is far beyond what Master Hu can match.
After all, this castle has been inherited for so many years. Even if the combat effectiveness of the armed personnel has dropped significantly, there are still many traps in the castle, and there are still some dangerous levels to defend. Therefore, when Butler Zhu led the elites in the manor to resist, Determined to fight Master Hu and the others to the end, he soon gained a firm foothold and formed a stalemate with Master Hu.
Of course, the combatants on Master Hu's side are obviously more fierce and fearless of death, and their combat experience is far superior. Even if they are fighting on unfamiliar territory, their advantages are still obvious.
If it weren't for the geographical advantage that Butler Lao Zhu had, he might not have been able to withstand this wolf-like impact.
However, Butler Lao Zhu's shrewdness played a major role at this time. The area they occupy is mainly concentrated in the southwest of the castle. This is the castle's warehouse and the castle's material storage. All strategic materials in the castle are stored in this location.
In other words, although the area occupied by Mr. Hu is very large now, it occupies almost two-thirds of the entire castle.
But if you can't capture this storage warehouse, you don't have captured this castle. After all, the core area of the castle is still the strategic material reserve warehouse. It is the lifeblood of the entire castle.
If Mr. Hu cannot get this batch of supplies, among other things, the long-term food and clothing expenses of his huge team of two to three thousand people will become a problem.
Every day people eat horse chews and consume a daily amount. Without the support of huge supplies, Hu Ye's team cannot even last for a month.
Because Mr. Hu knew the importance of this, he was very anxious when he learned that Butler Lao Zhu was leading the castle's elite team to guard the reserve warehouse.
Continuously issued orders that this warehouse must be captured and all the remnants of Butler Lao Zhu must be wiped out.
When it comes to manpower, Master Hu's side definitely has the upper hand at the moment.
After all, in the previous battle, Master Hu had already wiped out many castle personnel. The total number of teams led by Butler Lao Zhu now should not exceed 300 people.
Although there were some casualties on Master Hu's side, there were definitely six to seven hundred people who could fight.
There is a two to three times advantage in numbers, and the individual combat power is obviously overwhelming.
If the opponent had not occupied a favorable terrain, this battle would have been one-sided.
Therefore, although Master Hu was a little anxious, he did not break his guard too much. In his opinion, Butler Lao Zhu was struggling to his death and would eventually be defeated.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than how many casualties you have to pay.
At this stage, Master Hu is actually not afraid of casualties. Except for some core elites and some cannon fodder, Mr. Hu doesn't feel bad at all. No matter how much you work for, there will be no psychological pressure. Even if he has more cannon fodder, he will be less burdened.
Of course, Mr. Hu can only think about these things in his heart, and naturally cannot say them out loud.
Lie Chi is reporting the situation to Master Hu at the moment.
"Master Hu, according to your instructions, we are currently surrounded by three and one missing. We did not send anyone to surround the door to the southwest of the castle. Let them seem to have a way out and feel that they still have a way out."
Master Hu nodded slowly and asked calmly: "Is Dad back?"
Lie Chi shook his head: "Not yet. It's dark and windy outside, and it's a wilderness outside. I don't know if the people led by Old Ba can find the useless village owner."
Mr. Hu looked a little ugly: "Assign twenty more people to go out and search separately. We must find Cen Qi."
Lie Chi wondered: "Master Hu, shouldn't we focus on taking over the reserve warehouse now?"
Mr. Hu snorted coldly: "This warehouse will be ours sooner or later. To put it bluntly, all the people in the warehouse together are not as threatening as one Cen Qi."
"Master Hu, that Cen Qi is just a guy who grew up in a greenhouse, and his title as the owner of the village is in name only. The actual speaker of this castle is the old steward Zhu. He is currently leading the people in the castle to resist desperately. "
"Lie Chi, do you know why you can only lead the team to fight, but Lao Ba can give me advice? Speaking of trust, I trust you more than I trust Lao Ba."
Lie Chi scratched his head in embarrassment: "Master Hu, it's because my brain is not as good as Master Ba. Don't be angry, I will arrange people to chase that Cen Qi."
Master Hu sighed, but did not get angry. He waved his hand and motioned Lie Chi to do as he was told.
At this moment, another subordinate hurriedly returned outside.
"Master Hu, Master Ba sent me back to report. He hasn't discovered Cen Qi's whereabouts yet. Also, Master Duo of the Baoshu tribe already knows what happened here. He seems a little unhappy. He asked me to report Mr. Hu, please report the detailed situation."
As the man spoke, he recounted the details of Ba Ye's encounter with Duo Ye's group. Especially Duo Ye's reaction, and the assistant A Qian, seemed very dissatisfied and reacted fiercely.
After hearing this, Master Hu looked a little ugly.
According to Duo Ye's reaction, I'm afraid that there will be some price to pay for the final outcome of this matter, and I'm afraid Duo Ye will not let it go without giving up considerable benefits.
There is also the assistant A Qian, who jumps up and down very arrogantly, dancing more happily than Duo Ye. This made Master Hu very unhappy.
But right now, appeasing Mr. Duo is really not an urgent matter. First, the castle must be completely taken down, and Cen Qi, the owner of the village, must be captured.
As for Butler Lao Zhu, in Mr. Hu's opinion, they are all clowns and not much of a threat.
…
After Duoye returned to the camp, he was obviously in a depressed mood. However, he also specifically told A Qian not to act out of anger and not to cause trouble for Master Hu at this juncture. Now is not the time to fall out with Master Hu. For the sake of the elixir plan, this matter must be discussed in the long term, and the issue must be considered from the interests of the Baoshu clan.
Although Ah Qian was unhappy, he obeyed Master Duo's instructions. He is not a fool, so he naturally knows that this matter should not be acted out of emotion.
For them now, nothing is more important than the plan for a magical elixir.
Although this thing about Lord Tiger is fucked up and disgusting, since it happened, they have to hold their noses and admit it. Even if they want to fall out, it won’t be now.
"Zu Yao, you three may be a little embarrassed this time. You are nominally Hu Ye's people, but you were all kept in the dark when they did this. It shows that they no longer regard you as their own. With Lao Ba’s character, I guess you won’t have a good life in the future. This time, maybe you really have to make a choice.”
Jiang Yue said: "We are willing to follow Mr. Qian."
A Qian nodded: "I won't just sit back and ignore you. Don't worry, when the time comes, I will directly ask them for help. From now on, you can just follow me. Anyway, Mr. Hu's monthly salary of fifteen silver coins, We, the Baoshu Clan, can afford it even if we bear double the burden.”
"Master Qian..." Jiang Yue was moved.
"Okay, let's all go down and rest. Don't move around tonight. The people on Mr. Hu's side are jealous, so don't let them kill you as your opponents."
Jiang Yue and the others returned to their temporary tent, and the three of them lay down to rest in perfect agreement.
After the camp became quiet, Jiang Yue and Sangou quietly got up and left the camp quietly using the invisibility technique.
At the camp, Mr. Hu also arranged for some people to keep an eye on them. Obviously, we must always be on guard to see if there is any movement on Duoye's side.
The two of them had the skill of borrowing sight, so they could naturally avoid all of Lord Tiger's overt and covert whistles.
After a while, the two came to the river. This place is also dozens of meters away from the nearest hidden sentry.
Sangou whispered: "Second brother, this bitch Tiger Lord is really treacherous. Even the Baoshu tribe has people keeping an eye on him. He can't even trust the people of the Baoshu tribe?"
"Haha, I'm afraid no one can trust this kind of hero except myself."
Sangou remembered Laoba's previous behavior and became angry. Lao Ba is Mr. Hu's subordinate, and the three dogs hate the house and the enemy. Naturally, even Mr. Hu is very unhappy.
"Second brother, what should we do next?"
"what you up to?"
Sangou chuckled: "I think this bitch, Boss, is very unhappy. Why don't you kill him first!"
"Look at your little potential. This piece of shit, Boss, is nothing. What's the use of killing him?"
Sangou muttered: "I just don't like him. Second brother, tell me, who should we do?"
"Let's destroy the transplanted elixir first."
"That's hundreds or even thousands of acres of elixir, are we just the two of us?" Sangou hesitated, although it would definitely be easier to destroy it than to transplant it.
But if two people want to destroy hundreds or even thousands of acres of elixir, the workload will not be small.
It's not that two people can't complete it, but it's extremely difficult to complete this amount of work without alerting the guards.
It had to be quick, destructive enough, and not alert the guards.
Sangou thought for a while and felt that this was too difficult.
"Who said anything about us? Just think about it, how many people are watching these hundreds or thousands of acres of spiritual land?"
Sangou made a rough count: "There seem to be fifty or sixty people."
"Sixty people, to be precise. What does that mean?"
"Haha, sixty people don't seem to be many. At Lord Hu's manor, there were hundreds of people in Lie Chi's guard camp, right?"
"The situation tonight is special. Lord Tiger wants to rob Cen Qi's manor. The combat manpower is very tight. We can arrange sixty combatants here, which is very important. This shows that he does not want to offend the Baoshu tribe, and he is also afraid of fighting with The Baoshu Clan are at odds with each other. He must ensure that these elixirs can be delivered. Otherwise, if he offends the Baoshu Clan, he will not be able to hold on to this inheritance even if he seizes it. If the Baoshu Clan is dissatisfied with him, they can give him away in a minute. He was reduced to ashes."
Sangou nodded thoughtfully: "Second brother, although sixty people are not many, they have been staring at these hundreds of acres of spiritual land. It is difficult for us to destroy them under their noses. Do you want to hypnotize them and let them Are they all asleep?"
Jiang Yue chuckled: "It's not impossible to hypnotize them, but if you hypnotize them, who will destroy these elixirs?"
Sangou's eyes lit up: "Second brother, do you want these guys to destroy the elixir?"
"What? Sixty people are more efficient than the two of us, right?"
"It's necessary. Besides, they themselves are destroying the elixir, so they can't suspect us."
The upgraded Dark Aria can control the Earth Center creatures. It is naturally no difficulty to control a mere sixty ordinary soldiers.
Jiang Yue wanted not only to control them, but also to plant an impression in their hearts.
Therefore, while performing Dark Aria, Jiang Yue also used Grand Puppetry. At the same time, he also copied Lao Ba's identity and exerted strong psychological hypnosis on these caretakers.
In other words, Jiang Yue not only had to control them, but also planted an impression in their minds that it was Lao Ba who ordered them to destroy these elixirs.
The efficiency of sixty people in carrying out destruction is undoubtedly far greater than that of two people.
Of the hundreds or even thousands of acres of spiritual land, each person is only allocated a dozen or so acres. And how easy it is to cause damage?
All it takes is to physically destroy these elixirs. In less than an hour, the entire sabotage operation was completed.
Jiang Yue brushed off his clothes and went away, hiding his body and name.
Without leaving any clues, they quietly left with Sangou. After a while, the two of them secretly returned to the camp without anyone noticing.
As for the control time of Dark Aria, as Jiang Yue left, it gradually began to recover.
These guards looked at the devastated spiritual land, each one full of confusion and doubts. What happened before also left an impression in their minds, and the memory has not been erased.
But when they saw the destroyed scene, they couldn't help but be a little confused.
how so?
Why did Ba Ye order everyone to destroy these elixirs? And why do everyone listen to him so honestly, without any doubt or resistance?
Some guards with bright minds felt that something was wrong. But the elixir was indeed destroyed by them, and no one can deny this.
Although all this seemed suspicious, they had a vague feeling that they might have gotten into trouble.
Even if Master Ba really asked them to do this, they might have gotten into trouble.
But Ba Ye, who ordered them to do this, is not at the scene right now, and no one even knows when he left.
If Ba Ye didn't admit to giving this order, wouldn't it mean that they acted privately? Once the crime of destroying the elixir and destroying the cooperation with the Baoshu Clan is proven, it will lead to death!
