607 Coping
Beta nodded slightly to the others, and then asked, "How is the situation now?"
"It can still hold on." Although it's okay to say it, Alice's face is not very good: "We have more than 8,000 troops in total, but about 2,000 soldiers have lost their combat ability."
This is why Beta saw many seriously injured people at the gate of the military camp.
"Can I go up to the city wall to see?" Beta asked. Alice is the commander here. If he rashly reaches the city wall, would he be stopped by someone first? It would be disrespectful to Alice.
"I'll take you up and explain it to you."
In this way, Alice brought Beta to the city wall.
Almost all the troops in the northern pass came from Tonggu City. After two years of development, most of the people were already believers of the God of Wealth. When Beta first entered the military camp, most of the soldiers he encountered were wounded, no one recognized him.
But the city wall was full of smart and highly alert men, so when Beta arrived on the city wall, many believers recognized him.
A large number of soldiers bent down to salute him, and Beta waved his hand all the way. If it weren't for the battlefield now, Beta believed that many people would have kneeled down.
As the pope, Beta's position in the Church of Wealth is second only to Wokin. Moreover, due to the miracles some time ago, Beta's reputation in the sect has a bonus of mysterious halo. Even shallow believers have enough awe of Beta, not to mention those real believers and crazy believers.
Alice didn't find anything strange about this, nor did she have any other thoughts.
Alice knew the attractiveness of religion's human hearts very well. She was named a knight by Beta and became a professional. She also took risks with Kyle and Beta, experienced many things and was influenced by them invisibly. In fact, Alice was also a shallow believer of the God of Wealth.
Therefore, Alice did not dislike her army and had the same beliefs as herself.
In addition, Alice could feel that after Beta reached the city wall, the morale of the army had improved significantly.
Even the Pope has come to the front line in person, which is itself an inspiring behavior for the grassroots soldiers who are working hard below.
After Beta walked to the battlements, he looked at the city wall about a thousand meters below the city wall, and speculated from the number of soldiers in front of the enemy's tent and the number of camp tents that the total number of enemies should exceed 20,000.
Moreover, the enemy's tent was protected by a light red barrier. Even between a distance of 1,000 meters, Beta could feel the magic fluctuations emitted by the barrier, which made people feel a little headache.
"Such an exaggerated barrier... I feel that Zoroastrianism has almost sent all the elite pastors here." Beta sighed: "It seems that they are bound to win the Tonggu City. What is the reason?"
Alice shook her head, saying she was unclear.
Beta had the 'Yunlong Blue Eye' and looked very far away. He glanced for a while and suddenly asked, "I didn't see a drow elf, what's going on?"
Alice was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The day before yesterday, the Drow Elves participated in the siege, but after being beaten by us, we might have returned to the camp to rest. After all, the Drow Elves don't like to act in the sun."
"They are not vampires, not liking them does not mean they cannot!"
Beta's tone increased a little. He looked at the towering mountains on the left and right sides of the city wall. Such steep mountains are insurmountable gaps for ordinary people and the army, but not for the Drow Elves.
"Alice, you immediately set up two small troops, a part of about a thousand people, preferably cavalry, patrolling the foot of the mountain near this pass day and night. I suspect that the Drow elves are about to cross the mountains."
Alice was frightened when she heard this and nodded.
"Another 500 troops retreated to Tonggu City, guarded the four gates, and gave them a twelve-point alert."
Alice continued to nod.
Beta thought for a while and continued, "It's still not safe enough. I'll ask Katie to take her team members back to help you guard the city gate. Most of the Drow elves are assassinators, good at night operations, and most people are not their opponents at night. Katie is also an assassinator. With her help, things will be much easier."
Alice breathed a sigh of relief: "Betta, fortunately you are here. If you don't say these things, I don't know how to deal with them at all, I just know to carry them head-on."
Alice is a qualified general. She is actually not bad at leading troops to fight. She dares to fight. But in terms of tactics and strategies, she is a little unfair. After all, she is a half-elf. She doesn't like these curves. In addition, she was well protected before and has no experience in war. She can lead the army and defend the northern pass for several days. She has done a good job.
"I'll talk about these things later. You can arrange the things in the past two years first. I'll go back to Wojin City and bring some people to help."
Alice immediately got off the wall, and Beta teleported directly back to Wojin City.
Then he directly found Judy who was resting in the room.
The butterfly girl is cleaning her pair of wings. Although theoretically, her body, who is already a master, will not become dirty casually, for female reasons, she still likes to clean her body.
After all, she felt that Beta must also like clean and fragrant girls.
Judy was naturally very happy to see Beta. Beta said what happened to Tonggu City, and then said: "So, I want to hire your mercenary group."
Judy was naturally willing to do so, but she still said with some concern: "I have to discuss this with the members of the group, but don't worry, Beta, I will do my best to convince them."
Judy was naturally very excited to hear that she might help Beta so quickly and felt that she was useful.
Beta said: "I will go with you. If you ask for help, you must look like you ask for help, at least you will be sincere."
More than ten minutes later, when Beta and Judy appeared at the mercenary base together, the Silver Wing Mercenary Group looked strange.
Beta said his future intentions and said, "I will pay commissions according to the rules of the mercenary world. Because it involves war, the mercenaries this time are ten times that of the past. I am willing to give out 300 gold coins and hire you."
When the mercenaries heard this amount of gold coins, they looked dizzy. This was an unimaginable huge sum of money for them. Three hundred gold coins were distributed to individuals, and each of them had twenty gold coins.
Even the most calm old mercenary looked dazed, but he quickly woke up and asked, "His Majesty the Pope, this time the matter is very dangerous?"
