Chapter 259

After completing the grouping of mercenaries, Liang Xiao called the seven mercenary leaders together.

In addition to the bison and the spirit fox, there are also Iron Tiger, Fire Meteor, Snow Eagle, Lao Ma and Fenglisha. They are each the leaders of a mercenary group, and their subordinates are basically selected, and they are considered the leading figures in the mercenary interface of Suye City.

"You are all real warriors, and you should have had experience fighting the Huns. However, I would like to remind you again that what we are about to face is not ordinary Huns, but tens of thousands of Huns. More importantly, this time we have no way out, either guard Suye City, kill a Huns, or the city is broken and the people are killed."

The mercenary leaders looked at each other, with a little timid in their eyes. Liang Xiao didn't say anything, but just looked at them quietly.

"Yeah, cough." Ampas was a little uneasy, afraid that Liang Xiao's words would scare away these mercenaries who were easily selected. There were no other reinforcements in Suye City to look forward to, and these hundreds of mercenaries were the last hope.

"Please rest assured that as long as the city guard succeeds, Su Ye City will be able to thank the city guards for this crisis. The young hero standing in front of you is from a great man. He has been killed all the way. The Hunxie King and his son led four or five thousand cavalry to chase him, but in the end he cut off his head. With his help, we will definitely succeed."

The mercenaries smiled, but they didn't smile naturally. They had heard of Liang Xiao's achievements, but as Liang Xiao himself said, the current situation is more dangerous than the situation at that time. On the grassland, they can escape, but the number of the Huns cannot be used. Here, they have to face more than ten times the Huns' hard battle to the end.

Liang Xiao grinned: "To be honest, Wudan is surrounded by the city. To a large extent, it may be because of me."

The mercenaries did not support them, and their faces were even more serious.

"So. Whoever doesn't want to take risks can quit now. The Huns are still one day away. As long as you run fast enough and have good luck, don't be caught by the Huns' scouts, you still have a chance to escape."

Ampas was anxious and shook Liang Xiao one after another. What do you mean? Do you have to scare these mercenaries away? Although the mercenaries exchanged their lives for money, they are not reckless people. They will not take on business that is too risky.

The mercenaries looked at each other and finally focused their attention on the spirit fox. Among the seven of them, the spirit fox had the worst martial arts skills. Even for the second challenge, he only barely passed Xiya's assessment. However, he was the smartest among the mercenaries, and it was undoubtedly the most suitable for him to appear and negotiate with Liang Xiao.

"Sir, since the Huns are so dangerous, why do you still have to defend the city?"

"What do you think?"

"I think the lord has already made a decision and is confident in defending Suye City."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows and refused to comment. "Since that's the case, why should I call you?"

The Linghu said calmly: "My lord summons us here, probably to strengthen the strength to defend the city, and to avoid anyone colluding with the Huns and plotting against Su Ye City."

"Hahaha... I am worthy of being a spirit fox, so smart." Liang Xiao raised his thumbs up and praised: "Yes, I am full of confidence in defending Suye City. The purpose of calling you is just as you said. However, I have another consideration."

“What are the considerations?”

"The Huns captured a lot of Dayuan infantrymen. They were preparing to force these infantrymen to attack the city. Considering that the soldiers in Suye City might be frightened by the cruelty and barbarity of the Huns and were disorganized, I need some real warriors to fight back at critical moments to block the Huns and stabilize the morale of the army."

Linghu and others looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, we will be from Suye City..." Liang Xiao thought for a while and used a Greek allusion. "...The Pillar of Heglis is responsible for the arduous task of blocking the devil of the Huns."

"Sir, do you know about Heglis?" The Bison was surprised. So far, Liang Xiao has been speaking Chinese, and a Greek place name suddenly appeared. The Bison and others were surprised.

Liang Xiao smiled. "Don't forget, I have four female Amazon warriors around me."

The spirit fox touched his nose embarrassedly, and the crotch was cold. He was picked up by Xiya, and his infamousness would probably be difficult to clear.

"Okay, since you are very clear about your tasks, I will talk about the pros and cons of both parties so that you can know what you are doing."

Liang Xiao said, spread out the city defense map and explain the possible situation of this war. The Huns are numerous, but they are not good at siegeing the city. With the current military strength of Suye City, as long as the people's hearts are not chaotic, the Huns will not have much chance at all. More importantly, the weather is getting colder and the Huns have limited time. Once heavy snow falls, they will face the natural enemy of severe cold, and they will collapse without fighting.

After listening to Liang Xiao’s explanation, the mercenaries felt relieved and full of confidence.

Finally, Liang Xiao made three rules with them: no internal strife, obey commands, and no disturbances to the people. If something like yesterday happens again, there will be no mercy to kill him.

"Use all your abilities against the Huns. If you have any grudges, love and hatred, let go of them for the time being, and then talk about them when they are defeated."

The mercenaries agreed.

After arranging the mercenaries, Liang Xiao and Ampas rushed to the city guard's mansion and informed the city guard's Kreon about the relevant situation.

In just one day, Ampass's attitude towards Liang Xiao changed significantly. Although he still didn't talk much, he had a little smile on his face. He and Liang Xiao walked side by side, and there were so many praises in his words.

"Empress, how do you know that these mercenaries will stay? What if they are scared away?"

"How could it be a timid person to be the leader of a mercenary group? Even if they are worried, they will not leave immediately." Liang Xiao explained: "Take this opportunity, you can also see their nature and make targeted arrangements at that time, so as not to improperly employ people and mislead major issues."

Ampass nodded repeatedly. "I only know that these mercenaries are good at martial arts, but I don't really pay attention. I feel a little ashamed when you examine them with your own eyes. There are more than 1,200 soldiers in Suye City. According to this standard exam, there are probably not many who can pass the third level."

"We have a wise man who once said: Born in distress and died in peace. Suye City is prosperous and stable, and is a good place for life. But it is too stable, and it is inevitable that we will forget the dangers around us. Now that the Wusun people are revived, Suye City is an important town in the East, so we should have some sense of crisis. This attack on the Huns is just the beginning, not the end."

Ampass sighed and worried.

When he arrived at the city guard's mansion, Ampas asked Liang Xiao to sit temporarily, rushed to the inner courtyard and reported the situation to Creon.

Creon was sitting on a chair, holding his forehead with one hand, looking at the city defense map in front of him. He had just received the news that the Huns had one day left Suye City and would arrive the day after tomorrow. It was confirmed that the surrendered soldiers from Dayuan were wrapped in ribs, and the people in Suye City were panicked and rumors spread everywhere.

Creon doubted whether he could defend Suye City. Perhaps surrender was a good idea. Although losing money is inevitable, he could at least save his life. I just don’t know how big Wu Dan’s appetite is. What if he really wants to spend the winter in Suye City?

Seeing Ampass walk in, Creon quickly sat upright. "How is it?"

"Sir, the Han envoy is really the God of Light sent by Zeus, and it is the blessing of my Suye City."

Creon glanced at Ampass in confusion. "Ampas, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Ampass didn't argue, and told Kreon everything he saw in its original form. He had been by Liang Xiao's side, and he saw all the process of Liang Xiao subduing these mercenaries without missing a trace. Kreon suddenly interrupted Ampass when he heard the female Amazon warrior.

"The four young maids are Amazon women warriors?"

"Yes, yes," Ampass said repeatedly: "Although they don't look like warriors at all, they are very skilled and real warriors."

Creon stood up, touched his beard, and pondered for a long time. "Do you know where there is such an Amazon female warrior in Dayuan?"

Ampass shook his head. He had never seen a real Amazon female warrior before.

"The Amazon tribe left Asia Minor's homeland hundreds of years ago and wandered around. As far as I know, there is only one place where there are female Amazon warriors in Dayuan: the royal palace." Creon turned his head and stared at Ampas. "That was Princess Luo Xuli's dowry."

Ampass was stunned. "Sir, what you mean is..."

"This Han envoy is really a good method." Creon smiled, feeling a little gloomy. "He actually got the heart of Princess Mingzhu. No wonder he could do so many big things. You are right. It was indeed my luck to come to Suye City. But why did you say he was Apollo?"

"Sir, besides a hundred steps, arrows hit the target. Who else can have such archery skills except Apollo, the God of Light?"

"Such a good archery!" Creon was shocked. "He has made too fast progress. A few months ago, when he first arrived in Suye City, he was not so powerful."

"Yes, yes." Ampass couldn't stop smiling. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."

Creon stared at Ampass and looked again and again, his waist involuntarily straightened.

"Let's go see him."

"Sir, don't worry." Ampass grabbed Creon. "You listen to me. I just talked about his bravery, but I haven't mentioned his scheming yet. When the sir listened to his methods of dealing with those mercenaries, the sir would be happier."

Creon looked at Ampass in confusion and couldn't help laughing: "Ampas, you have never praised anyone like this."

"Yes, sir, that's because I've never met such a person." Ampass said earnestly: "Sir, please listen to me with peace of mind, and then you will know why I praise him like this. Sir, to defend Suye City, you should put aside your identity and listen to his suggestions."

Creon raised his eyebrows and turned around and sat down.

"Okay, let's talk about it in detail."-
