Even Charles knew that, so did Sienna. Although he was the leader of the biggest mercenary corps in Roland City, it was still nothing compared to the Gale Bandits. Unless he mobilized all his forces, and the Gale Bandits didn't have much manpower on this route, then there was a chance of success.
However, Sienna did not want to bet all the power that he had painstakingly built on a possibility. If this possibility turned out to be impossible, he would probably lose all his capital. Although he had signed the contract, he had already said that he wouldn't take this route no matter what. Mercenaries weren't fools. They risked their lives because there was a chance of winning, but if they went against the Gale Bandits, there was almost no chance of winning.
However, Lin Li didn't seem to have heard what the two of them said. He rubbed his chin gently with his fingers, and said, "How about this, there are still a few more herbs. See if you can get them. If you can, you can ship them back to me this time." Then, he told Charles the names of a few herbs that were also very rare and precious.
Didn't Mage Felic hear what I said to Sienna? Charles was confused, but he didn't have the guts to ask. Actually, his plan was that since it was the Gale Bandits who were blocking the way, he wouldn't expect to transport the herbs to Roland City. It was better to sell them at a low price in the City of Late Winter. Although he might lose some money, it was better than being robbed by the Gale Bandits on the way …
Although Sienna said that Mage Felic and his two followers were very strong, Charles didn't think that he had the ability to get them to escort the caravan. Even if Mage Felic was willing to send his followers to follow the caravan, it would be difficult to protect the caravan with just one or two level-17 or 18 powerhouses.
Although one could kill an Ice Howler alone, how many could one kill in a short period of time when faced with thousands of bandits? As long as they held them back for a while, the others could clean up the caravan and escape in all directions. They wouldn't even know who to chase. Moreover, it was rumored that the Gale Bandits had a Legendary powerhouse. Even if they didn't have a Legendary powerhouse, they would at least have a few level-17 or 18 powerhouses. Otherwise, how could they be ranked second among the top 10?
Charles looked at Sienna as if to say, "Since you've known Mage Felic for a long time, you should explain to Mage Felic whether this is feasible or not."
How could Sienna not understand what Charles meant? Although he was fearful of Lin Li, he still cleared his throat and prepared to explain the strength of the Gale Bandits.
"Is 10 Archmages enough?" Lin Li asked Sienna softly after thinking for a while.
"…" Sienna was just about to say something when he was swallowed by Lin Li's question.
What did he mean by 10 Archmages were not enough? Although Sienna was not a mage, he had some understanding of the profession of mages. It was very difficult to become a mage, and it was even more difficult to continuously advance in the study of magic. Obstacles after obstacles blocked the footsteps of batches and batches of people. Hence, Archmages could be said to be the top existence in the profession of mages. Any Archmage would have an important position in any force. What did Mage Felic just say? 10 Archmages!
Levels were something that all professions had, but the same level did not mean the same combat power. Mages above level-15 were called Archmages. Compared to Warriors above level-15, the combat power of an Archmage was definitely incomparable to that of a Warrior. Even if one had the ability to recruit a Warrior above level-15, it did not mean that one could recruit an Archmage with the same conditions. The addition of an Archmage would definitely bring about an earth-shattering change in the strength of a force.
Sienna's desire for Archmages was not inferior to that of any force. However, with his current strength, it was very difficult to recruit an Archmage. Yet, that Mage Felic could actually send 10 of them at once? If that was true, then he did not have to worry about the Gale Bandits this time.
"10 …" Charles swallowed his saliva with difficulty. At this moment, he was really grateful to Sienna from the bottom of his heart. If Sienna had not scolded him in time, he would not have known what kind of big shot he had offended. What kind of power would it take to be able to send 10 Archmages at once? The Malfa Family? The Dark Blade? Even the two famous and powerful forces of the Breezy Plains probably wouldn't be so casual as to let 10 Archmages take on the task of escorting a caravan.
After the shock, Charles was filled with ecstasy. He had not even curried favor with them, and he was already benefiting from it. Being able to know big shots was indeed the most important development opportunity. How powerful would 10 Archmages be? Charles could not imagine it at all. Although he did not know the strength of the Gale Bandits, he firmly believed that with 10 Archmages, the escort this time would be absolutely safe.
What he was most concerned about was that there would not be any accidents with the herbs that he needed. As for what Charles and Sienna were thinking, he did not care at all. Thinking that the Gale Bandits were ranked second, after all, and although they were not as powerful as the Dark Blade, they were not easy to deal with. Hence, he said to Sienna, "How about this, let Ujfalusi go with you."
Sienna suddenly had the urge to vomit blood. How could he not know how powerful Ujfalusi was? His experience in the ruins of Syer Town had always been clearly imprinted in his mind. A Humerus Wyrm and a Legendary Lich were already powerful enough to destroy a city, but with 10 Archmages, they were clearly trying to bully him. With such a powerful escort, even if the Gale Bandits went all out, they would not be able to return alive.
Looking at the strange expression on Sienna's face, Charles was puzzled. Who was Ujfalusi? How could he make Sienna lose his composure? He did not have such an expression when Mage Felic said that he would send 10 Archmages.
Seeing that Charles was looking at him in confusion, Sienna's mouth twitched, and he softly said, "When we rescued the castellan's children, they ended up … becoming Mage Felic's follower in the end. It's that …"
Although Sienna's words were vague, Charles immediately felt a great sense of fear when he thought about what Sienna had said to him when he lectured him previously. Lich! Legendary Lich! He's actually another follower of Mage Felic! Charles kept screaming in his heart, but he did not dare to look at the Lich named Ujfalusi. Undead creatures were extremely terrifying existences to anyone.
"How about we …" Lin Li wanted to say that he should get someone to bring the four Alchemy Colossuses as well. After all, those were behemoth-level Alchemy Colossuses, and they would not even be afraid of a Legendary powerhouse.
However, Sienna seemed to be unable to take any more shock. Before Lin Li could finish his sentence, he quickly said, "Enough, enough, Mage Felic, it's enough."
The boss of Seven Leaf Grass, Charles, was already dumbfounded and did not know what to say. Shock, surprise, fear, and so on surged into his heart.
"Hey, why are you dumbfounded again!"
Sienna's voice suddenly sounded beside his ear. Charles only snapped back to his senses when he felt someone pushing him, only to find that everyone had already stood up. "Ah! Dear Mr Mage, I'm really sorry, I … "Charles hurriedly apologized for his rudeness, and looked at Sienna pleadingly, hoping that he would remind him of what he had just missed.
"This Mage Wilkinson needs some herbs, and was interrupted by your manager just now. Go and get them yourself," Sienna said angrily.
Charles did not dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly asked Wilkinson what herbs he needed. Although he wanted to suck up to Wilkinson, he did not dare to mention giving him a discount. However, after asking about the herbs that Wilkinson needed, he hated Larry even more. As the owner of Seven Leaf Grass, how could he not know the price of various medicinal herbs? He calculated in his heart that the medicinal herbs that Lin Li wanted were at most 2,000 gold coins, but how much did that d * mned Larry say? 20,000 gold coins!
Damn it, I really hope that Sienna's kick didn't really kill that bastard Larry. Otherwise, how am I going to vent my anger …
Downstairs, Charles personally took care of all kinds of medicinal herbs while secretly hating Larry who almost brought a fatal disaster to him.
Although he did not manage to buy the herbs that he needed, he had at least secured some of them. With Ujfalusi and the 10 Archmages from the Tower of Dusk escorting him, there should not be too much of a problem with the Gale Bandits. Lin Li was rather satisfied with the rewards he had gained this time, and did not want to waste any more time here.
"By the way, inform me at the Tower of Dusk after you decide on the time to set off. I'll get Ujfalusi and the rest to look for you," Lin Li said to Sienna and Charles as he walked out of the door. Lin Li said to Sienna and Charles before leaving with Wilkinson and the two Undead creatures.
However, Sienna and Charles, who had sent Lin Li and the rest to the door, froze at the door as if they had been petrified. After the figures of Lin Li and the rest disappeared from their sight, the two of them twisted their necks stiffly and looked at each other in horror.
"Oh my God, did he say the Tower of Dusk?" Charles almost fainted. The Tower of Dusk that had recently recruited a large number of high-level pharmacists?
