89 Meeting James

“Before the pursuit, it was you who gave the order to mainly restrain them. Moreover, there are many Gnomes. If we attack rashly and are surrounded…”

Fang Ping interrupted him. “That’s why you didn’t kill a single Gnome.”

Mai Wen said nothing.

Fang Ping pointed at Qing Niao. “He killed fifteen Gnomes, greatly relieving the pressure on the defense. Moreover, he intimidated the Gnomes, making them not dare to attack.”

“This…” Mai Wen’s expression was complicated. He stared at Fang Ping and said, “Then you didn’t kill any either. You just stood behind and moved your lips.”

“Me?” Fang Ping pointed at himself and looked at Mai Wen in confusion. “The only Troll killed by the Elite Team was killed by my Summoned Creature. You’re saying that I’m just talking at the back?”

Mai Wen thought of something and did not say anything. He turned around and walked quickly to the front.

Qing Niao looked at him and shook her head. “There are only so few copper coins in total, and you’re still calculative. You really don’t look like a trainee.

William and the others have killed many Gnomes and only obtained 800 copper coins. None of them have any objections. He’s the only one who’s not convinced.”

“They’re just looking for trouble with me.” Fang Ping did not mind. After all, there were all kinds of people.

It was impossible for everyone to be satisfied with him.

Being overly persistent would only give him a headache.

Then, someone else came over. Not only was there someone, but there was also a huge snake.

It was Red Camellia Snake.

After such a long time, she finally looked Fang Ping in the eye.

“Your Summoned Creature isn’t bad. This is the first time I’ve seen such a Troll.”

“Yes, it’s alright. Why? Is something the matter?”

“It’s okay.”

Snake Princess Hong wanted to say something but hesitated. However, she did not say anything and left.

After walking for a few more hours, the outline of a white snow mountain slowly appeared in the distance.

The white mountain peak intertwined with the white clouds, looking like a mountain in the sky.

“It’s so beautiful. If only I could take a photo,” Fang Ping sighed as he looked at the snow mountain.

“A photo? What is it?” beside him asked. She also looked at the snow mountain and sighed. “It’s so beautiful. That’s our destination, the high ground.”

Fang Ping looked at the snowy mountain. It felt like Sichuan’s Rice City. Although he had never been there, he had seen photos.

Layers of clean snow mountains and pure clouds.

If they were not surrounded by withered grass but by small wildflowers, they would definitely be even more beautiful.

Just as Fang Ping was admiring the beautiful scenery in the distance, the team in front stopped again. It was not dark yet. It was not mealtime yet. Why did they stop?

Elsa’s voice rang out. “Everyone, be on guard. Put your backpacks away. Fang Ping, command.”

Fang Ping was stunned when he heard Elsa’s voice. ‘I still don’t know what happened. Why am I commanding again?’

He quickly used the special characteristics on both sides of the road and behind, but he did not discover anything approaching.

That shouldn’t be a Magical Beast or an attack from a Goblin or Troll.

Fang Ping first walked to the front of the team and Elsa’s position. Only then did he realize that the Lord’s Guards in front had also stopped.

In the distance, a few brown buildings could be seen.

“Elsa, what’s going on?” Fang Ping asked.

Elsa looked ahead and said, “There’s a sentry tower at the foot of the mountain up ahead. It’s the only way to Goby Highland. Something must have happened.”

“Then I’ll go take a look.”

Fang Ping turned around and looked at the members of the Elite Team as he passed down the command, “Wait where you are.”

Then, he quickly walked towards the Lord’s Guards.

The Lord’s Guards in front were assembling a team. Most of them were cavalry, but they were also divided into two types. One was a Knight holding a long sword, and the other was a spear Knight holding a spear.

As Fang Ping walked over, many people looked over. Because Fang Ping was a Human, no one came to look for trouble.

Fang Ping wanted to find someone to ask about the current situation. A Knight in blue armor rode a warhorse in blue armor and approached.

Fang Ping took a look at his name. It was James.

The warhorse stopped not far from Fang Ping. Jaime asked loudly, “Are you from the Elite Team? What are you doing here?”

Fang Ping replied, “My name is Fang Ping. I’m the Commander of the Elite Team. I’m here to check, what’s the situation now? What can we do?”

“In front of us is the sentry tower at the foot of the mountain. It has already been occupied by the Gnomes. If we want to go over, we have to defeat them.

“All of you, just protect yourselves. Or your Forbidden Spellcasters and Mages can come over and use your skills.”

Fang Ping looked at the tall sentry tower in the distance, then at the Lord’s Guards who were all cavalry.

After some thought, he said, “Is there anything we can do?”

Jaime looked down at Fang Ping and was silent for a while.

“As long as you don’t die because I won’t split my forces to protect you. We’ll attack in an hour. Bring your men and get ready. I’ll be the commander of the battlefield. The spoils of war will be divided according to contribution points.”

“Sure.” Fang Ping nodded.

When they returned to the Elite Team, everyone stood where they were, waiting for Fang Ping.

Glancing at Elsa, who did not react, Fang Ping walked to the front of the team and said to everyone.

“The sentry tower at the foot of the mountain ahead is occupied by the Gnomes. We will assist the Lord’s Guards in attacking together.

Bring your things and set off.”

He led the team towards the Lord’s Guards. There were also some people guarding the carriage. They were probably logistics.

An old man with gray hair leaned out of the carriage and looked at Fang Ping and the others. Fang Ping shouted, “You guys are students from the Elite Team, right?”

Usually, it might not be Fang Ping’s turn to speak, but now that Fang Ping was the commander, it was Fang Ping who answered.

“Yes, Sir. We’re going to the sentry tower at the foot of the mountain to fight. Can we leave our backpack here?”

“Sure, sure. Let’s leave it here.

“You guys have to be careful too. Although ordinary Gnomes aren’t strong, high-level Gnomes aren’t weak either. There are also Trolls. If you encounter them, run quickly…”

He walked out of the carriage and pointed to an area beside the carriage. “Just leave it here. I’ll help you watch over it, but there won’t be any thieves in this wilderness.”

“Alright, thank you.” Fang Ping turned around and shouted over, “Leave your backpack here.”

They would carry valuable things with them, such as money bags and Skill Crystals. Most of the things in the bag were daily necessities. There was actually no need to worry too much if they placed them here.

“Be careful, don’t die!” The old man shouted from behind.

As they walked forward, the cavalry of the Lord’s Guards stood on a small hill. In the distance, there were four tall sentry towers and many figures moving.

“Characteristics failed. Target: Troll Monster Leader, not him.”

“Failure granted. Target: Gnome desperado. Not him.”

“Characteristics failed. Target: Goblin Poison Archer, not yourself.”

The top of the sentry tower was filled with Gnome Archers, and there were also many Trolls and Gnome Professionals gathered below. They were not weak, and there were many of them.

James rode his warhorse over and glanced at the Elite Team. His gaze landed on the leader, Fang Ping.

“In the current situation, the enemy is not weak. Most of them are Class 2, and there are also many Class 3 professionals. They have occupied the sentry tower, and the range of the Goblin Archers is further than ours.
