People are in Zongman, but they are the supreme players

After hearing this, the mercenaries' families followed and soon arrived at the secret passage.

They had just retreated halfway when another group of patrolling soldiers discovered their tracks and blew the horn. When the dull sound appeared, a large number of soldiers surrounded them.

Hicks and Ye You, disguised as mercenaries, also put up some resistance. Facing these rushing soldiers, he took advantage of the situation and dealt with them easily.

"Ding dong!"

Facing the soldiers rushing towards him, Ye You showed his normal fighting ability. He held a weapon in his hand and started fighting with the soldiers in front of him. It seemed that he was struggling very hard.

"Brother Hicks, you lead the group first. The rest of the people will retreat. I'll cover your retreat."

Looking at Hicks and the others in front of him, who were gradually surrounded by these soldiers, Ye You acted very loyal. After kicking a soldier away, he stared at Hicks in front of him with a determined look.

"Good brother, Jackson, you'll be the last one to leave. If you can survive, I'll commend you to Captain Bolt, so please don't worry."

Hicks was also very moved. They didn't expect that an elite mercenary would actually sacrifice his life to cover their retreat. It was really touching.

"It's okay. This is what I should do. Brother Hicks, you're welcome. Just go."

After Ye You finished speaking, he rushed forward, took out an alchemical explosive from his body and threw it out.

After waiting for the explosion to cause chaos, Ye You continued to rush forward without any courtesy.

-------------------------------------------------

While waiting for the smoke from the explosion to clear, Minister Thomas also learned that the mercenaries' families had been taken away, and he immediately became furious.

"Minister Thomas, this will make everyone laugh at you. What are you going to do next?"

Looking at Thomas in front of him, a congressman also had some doubts.

"What else can we do? We must quickly search the entire area and take the money from those mercenaries. We must also kill all the scattered mercenaries. If they dare to resist us, they will pay the price."

Thomas was completely furious and extremely upset. He had not expected things to unfold like this.

"Well, that's the only way."

When Thomas was committing suicide, some unlucky mercenaries and their families who did not have time to escape were also subjected to a brutal massacre.

After sneaking into the First Fortress, Ye You also saw this bloody scene, but he had no intention of stopping it. After all, other people's fight to the death didn't seem to have much to do with him.

Faced with such a result, Ye You responded indifferently. It had nothing to do with him anyway.

"Humans still love to kill each other. Do they really have ugly souls?"

The dark elf queen Orika observed all this through Ye You's vision and felt it was a little ironic.

"Who says it isn't? But the real fun is about to begin."

Ye You watched these soldiers slaughter the families of the mercenaries quietly without any expression on his face, as if he was used to it.

"Then what is the Demon King going to do?"

When the Dark Elf Queen Olika saw Ye You in front of her and looked into the distance, a look of doubt appeared on her face.

Ye You's behavior is very abnormal. He has completely infiltrated the Black Beast Mercenary Group. This also makes the Dark Elf Queen Olika very excited, but she just doesn't know what the Demon King's plan is.

"The Black Beast Mercenaries are rebelling against the Seven Shields Alliance and want to establish a state ruled by servants. Their most important goal is to capture the two princesses and use them as their own mercenaries. If I were to take away the fruits of their victory, do you think Bolt and the others would be furious?"

Ye You said with a smile, and the dark elf queen Orika was also full of surprise and spoke in disbelief.

"I see. It seems your goal is for those two princesses, right? That's really surprising."

Looking at Ye You in front of her, the dark elf queen Olika on the side finally woke up.

Facing Orika's words, Ye You just smiled without saying anything, thinking about how to capture the two princesses.

On the other side, in the palace of the First Fortress, Princess Alicia was feeling a little restless and tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

"What's wrong? Sister Alicia, did something happen?"

Seeing Princess Alicia tossing and turning and unable to sleep, Prim asked sensibly.

"It's okay, Prim, you should have a good rest! I just thought of something and felt a little worried."

In response to her sister's words, Princess Alicia gently comforted her, hoping that her sister would not think too much.

While waiting for Prim to fall asleep, Princess Alicia thought about what happened at noon today and the families of the mercenaries who were kidnapped. She also knew that things were getting serious.

Princess Alicia didn't know whether this matter could be resolved in the end, but she still had some expectations.

Chapter 12 Waiting for an opportunity, target the first fortress?

After Bolt's betrayal, Thomas immediately used lightning speed to easily suppress the mercenaries and their families in the city, which also caused deep unrest in the city.

Many people also don’t know why the Seven Shields Alliance and the Black Beast Mercenaries had such a good relationship before, but why are they now hostile to each other?

Many people don’t know this, but it doesn’t prevent people from having a good impression of mercenaries.

After all, the origin of mercenaries is derived from rangers. They are all chivalrous men with a sense of justice, and they are a civil organization derived from them in order to protect ordinary people.

Although mercenaries do their work for money, they have a very good reputation. Unlike the soldiers of the Seven Shields Alliance, they basically don't pay for the things they take. The comparison between the two sides also gives mercenaries a huge popularity base.

After waiting for the withdrawal from the First Fortress, Bolt also waited at the agreed place. Seeing so many mercenaries' families escaped successfully, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief on his face.

As the leader of the mercenaries, he is also very impulsive, but he must also look at the overall situation. He is not a brainless reckless man, otherwise he would not be able to unite with the demons.

Originally, it was not certain that victory could be achieved by relying solely on mercenaries, but with the help of the demons, it was still possible to launch a successful counterattack.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hicks. Your team worked hard. You easily resolved our last concern."

Looking at Hicks in front of him, Bolt also praised him, feeling that his men were very capable.

"It's nothing. This is all thanks to our brothers. We lost five brothers this time. One of them, a mercenary named Jackson, chose to cover our retreat. He's a real man."

Recalling the scene where Ye You was left behind, Hicks spoke with appreciation, his eyes full of admiration.

"Really? If Jackson is still alive, then he must be given enough rewards. He has done so much for us mercenaries, he really deserves some benefits."

What Bolt admires most are the selfless mercenaries, and Ye You's approach is undoubtedly very much to his liking.

"Well, Captain, when do we start attacking the First Fortress? We can't wait to crush those bastards under our feet."

Hicks said angrily that they were surrounded by these people at the last moment of retreat, which made Hicks very angry.

"There's no rush to attack the First Fortress. Thomas Beardsley said he wanted to talk to me. Hicks, are you interested in going inside the city with me?"

Bolt spoke slowly with confidence on his face.

"Hey, why did that old guy want to negotiate with you? I remember that he wasn't a good person. He chose to exploit the people of the First Fortress. He can be considered a greedy guy."

Hicks had a confused look on his face and looked at Bolt.

Facing questions from Hicks and other mercenaries, Bolt's face was calm, as if no one could affect his emotions.

Recalling the time in the First Fortress, Bolt spoke leisurely.

"Thomas, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is a very ambitious man. He is also greedy for money and lustful, especially fond of the eldest princess Alicia. However, one time, because he was chasing a woman that day, he was severely punished by Princess Alicia."

Bolt suddenly stopped talking here, and continued speaking with a smile on his face.

"Simply put, Thomas wanted to marry Princess Alicia. But he was troubled by his status. Seeing us appear, he naturally wanted to protect his position as the Minister of Finance and win her over at the same time."

Bolt's face was filled with even more sarcasm, as if he felt ironic about such a fool.

"Hahaha, this really made us laugh to death. Turns out you're just a daydreamer. So, Captain, what are your plans?"

Hicks asked with a confused look on his face.

"Of course, we should make good use of this guy. Since Thomas, that bastard, wants to get Princess Alicia? We can help him realize his wish, but after that..."

Bolt's eyes became much sharper, and he exuded murderous intent. It turned out that he had already wanted to kill that old guy.

"Okay, let's go, Captain."

Hicks didn't object, and the two of them, wearing cloaks, headed towards the side door of the First Fortress and entered smoothly.

Even if you are covered with a cloak, there is no problem entering here as long as you have the token.

After entering the first fortress, the number of soldiers patrolling here increased greatly. Although Bolt and the other man were a bit suspicious, they had tokens on them, so not many people suspected them.

It is worth mentioning that this token was also something Thomas specially gave to Bolt. With these things, the soldiers naturally would not take a second look at it.

When he was about to arrive at Thomas's mansion, a dazzling gaze came over him. Bolt suddenly stopped and looked at the corner in confusion.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Hicks calmly took out two daggers and asked cautiously, looking very worried about this matter.

"It's okay, maybe I'm just being overly suspicious! I feel like someone is watching me."

There was a hint of doubt on Bolt's face. She felt that the gaze was very glaring and made her feel very uncomfortable.

After putting away his guard, Bolt successfully entered the mansion.

While waiting for the two to enter, Ye You revealed himself in the corner.

Yes, Ye You was not idle after entering the First Fortress. After understanding the defense of the inner city and the outer city, he was bored and decided to go to the Thomas City to take a look.

I just didn't expect to encounter a big fish like Bolt. It seems that the plot is about to officially begin.

--------------------------------------------------

I remember that in the second episode of Black Beast, Minister Thomas opened the outer city gate and let the Black Beast mercenaries in.

Needless to say, what happened after that was that the eldest princess Alicia was captured by Minister Thomas, and the youngest princess Prim also had her important things taken away by a group of extras. A good hand of cards was played very badly.

The most important thing is that there are still many such stupid operations, which makes Ye You feel a little overwhelmed. He also has an incredible feeling and seems to be surprised.

"Interesting. If we calculate the time, it will take at most a day. Let me hear what you have to say first."

After Ye You finished speaking, he turned invisible again, easily broke into Thomas's mansion and came to the hall.

At this time, after arriving at the hall, Bolt was also treated with courtesy. The maid also made two cups of black tea and placed them in front of them.

"Bolt, it's been a long time since we last met. Looks like your attack on the First Fortress might take a bit more effort."

Looking at Bolt in front of him, who still had the temperament of a tough guy, Minister Thomas on the side also greeted him politely.

"Stop talking nonsense. You should know what our plan is. Instead of wasting time here, why not tell us your purpose?"

Bolt snorted coldly, seizing the initiative on the battlefield, staring at Thomas in front of him and speaking with iron-blooded eyes.

"Haha, it's always pleasant to talk to smart people. My idea is very simple. Your attack on the First Fortress and your occupation of this place have nothing to do with me."

"As long as I can maintain my position as minister, that's all that matters. Besides that, after we capture the First Fortress, give me Princess Alicia. How about that?"

Minister Thomas was not polite at all and expressed his thoughts.

"Not very good. Your request is too much. Even without your help, we can capture the First Fortress. By then, all of you high-ranking officials will be dead. The two princesses will also be ours."

Bolt showed sarcasm on his face, thinking that the guy in front of him was joking. If he waited for this guy to open the outer city gate, it would be hard to say who would have the final say.

"Then, if I'm willing to offer five years' worth of tax revenue from the First Fortress, can you keep my position? And give me Princess Alicia, by the way?"

Minister Thomas continued to negotiate, hoping to gain sufficient benefits.

"Okay, since you're so sincere, then open the car door within the stipulated time. The princess will be yours."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Bolt spoke confidently, with a more relaxed look on his face.

"Okay, that's no problem at all. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Thomas said excitedly, but Bolt smiled without saying anything and shook hands with him lightly, which was considered as signing the agreement.

Only Ye You watched coldly. He could clearly see the content of their transaction, but it was a pity that he was destined to make things difficult for himself.

It would be very interesting if they waited until they captured the first fortress and were ready to enjoy the fruits of victory, only to discover that the two princesses were missing.

Chapter 13: Internal and external forces collude, the First Fortress is in danger?

The next morning, the soldiers guarding the first fortress were horrified to find that a large army of demons, like a black wave, was rapidly pouring in.

The number of troops, which was a black mass and seemed to stretch endlessly, was already quite terrifying.

"Your Highness Princess Alicia, something has happened at the First Fortress. The demon army has already arrived at the outskirts and has completely surrounded us."

Not long after Princess Alicia woke up, the knights of the Order of Saint Alice quickly came over and reported some bad news to Her Royal Highness.

"What? This happened. Where is the sentry?"
