    It was already midnight when Hu Bin returned to Baicheng, but the firelight on the walls of Baicheng was still bright, and the archers and heavily armored guards stared nervously at the eastern Aocheng Fortress.  Half a day ago, the place was completely reduced to ruins by the orcs' indiscriminate bombardment regardless of the cost. The Gondor defenders paid a price of 500 regular troops and about 2,000 militiamen, which was enough to delay the orc army.  In two days, while the orcs launched another strong attack, the defenders of Ao City, who had completed their mission and suffered a lot of losses, took the initiative to withdraw from the ruins of Ao City. This meant that Gondor began to fully retreat to the White City.  A heavy and depressing atmosphere enveloped Baicheng. There were no longer any residents wandering around in the square on the first floor. Instead, they were replaced by fully armed soldiers and a large amount of supplies piled on the ground.  The engineers constantly adjusted the angle and landing point of the city defense catapults and recorded them on the drawings. A large amount of oil and stones were also collected by Baicheng for use in defending the city.  Women, children and the elderly have been placed in the Tibetan Soldier Cave on the third floor, and all the prime-age men have been issued weapons and armors and incorporated into the city's defenders. These complete sets of equipment originally made them envious.  , but it was difficult to dispel the fear in my heart at this time.  "The orcs are coming!" In the tavern, a numberer jumped up and down on the table, using exaggerated limbs and funny tone of voice to act drunkenly.  "Hahaha!" Everyone else in the bar was amused by such a funny performance. Compared with other people in White City, the numberers who had just made a fortune were not at all panicked by the coming orcs.  After the Gondor camp, they knew that sooner or later they would have to fight the Orc army.  If the orcs don't come, they will have even more headaches.  Hu Bin looked at these guys who seemed fearless on the surface and felt a little emotional. Everyone knew that the orcs would launch a general attack tomorrow.  The only remaining numberers in the Gondor camp will also face the last main mission in the Lord of the Rings world.  ¡°Bartender, give us each a large bowl of broth and a bucket of wine!¡± A shout came from the door of the bar.  The numberers all turned their gazes over, and then the atmosphere in the field became quiet.  "The bartender has taken refuge. We have booked the bar tonight. If you want to eat, go to the kitchen and get it yourself!" A numberer loudly greeted the group of numberers at the door to come in and sit down, and the leader  The man also smiled and nodded to the guy who reminded them, and then led the people into the bar.  Because the war is coming.  The bar is particularly lively tonight. In order to relieve the pressure before the war, the numberers are willing to get together here and have a drink to strengthen their courage. The seats that were still relatively spare have long been occupied, but with the numbering  Due to the eclectic nature of the readers, sitting on the floor is not a no-brainer.  The group that just came in came to a table.  The numberers who were originally sitting there honestly gave up their seats after hesitating for a moment.  "Thank you!" The man thanked the other person gently, but occupied the table without politeness.  "Why are these people so arrogant?" The voice was not loud, but it was enough for the people around to hear. Others looked at the table where the speaker was sitting, as if they were looking at aliens.  Even the group that came in before glanced here.  "Did I say something wrong?" Tower Shield, with a confused look on his face, turned to his two companions and asked.  "No. You are just ignorant." Lin said unceremoniously, too lazy to pay attention to this guy.  Seeing that Lin had no intention of explaining to Tower Shield, Hu Bin had to take over: "These people are the existing leaders of the Numbered Lords Alliance. The first person is Hebrew, who is actually in control of the Numbered Lords Alliance.  The beauty next to her is called Dai'er, but her name really doesn't match her personality. " Dai'er felt Hu Bin's prying eyes.  Turning his head and looking over, Hu Bin smiled and raised his glass to her.  But he was coldly ignored.  Hu Bin continued to the tower shield indifferently: "The guy wearing half-body armor is the wild wolf, and the last one is called David." When talking about David, Hu Bin showed a weird smile on his face and provided it himself  Gandalf should have received the information, but this guy is still hanging around in the White City and has not been dealt with. It seems that the regent has a lot of resentment towards the Lords Alliance.  "So they are the legendary numbered ones who obtained the status of Lords of Gondor! But aren't there eight of them in total? Why are there only half of them left?" Tower Shield continued to ask without hesitation, while those present  The numberers looked at him with pity and gloating.  The lord named Wild Wolf couldn't stand it anymore and was about to stand up to teach Tower Shield a lesson, but was quickly grabbed by Hebra.  "Oh, they, first one died in the south, then two more died in the north, and the restWho knows where the other one is missing? Maybe he was killed by the orcs a long time ago!  "I don't know which numberer is secretly doing it. One of the numberers seemed to be dissatisfied with the style of those lords, and said in a strange way. "That bastard said, you have the guts to stand up.  "The wild wolf finally couldn't help roaring. "Stand up, stand up, that's what I said. I have long disliked you guys. Many brothers in the same camp were deceived by you guys to go to the north.  If you have the guts to fight with them and die there, if you have the guts to come back, why don't you have the guts to tell us?  "One of the numberers patted the table and stood up, and many of the numberers present looked at the wild wolf a little unkindly. Many of their acquaintances died in the sneak attack in the north. "The wild wolf was killed by that numberer.  The numberer was furious, but he couldn't refute anything. He couldn't talk about the discord within the Lords Alliance with outsiders. Although Li left them alone and went to the north to sneak attack on the Rune supply line, his mistake in the end, which almost completely wiped out the Lords Alliance, was blamed on the Lords Alliance.  There is nothing wrong with the name. After all, they are just different factions, but they are still unified in camp. Thinking of this, the wild wolf glanced at David who was sitting there without any reaction, and finally sat back in his seat and grabbed him.  He passed the wine flask carried by his subordinates and began to drink wine desperately.  They're just a bunch of lucky bastards who think they're no one.  They are just poor people struggling in space like us.  "Seeing that the other party had died down, the numberer couldn't continue to stir up trouble and sat back in his seat muttering. "Reed, I know the three dead ones, but who is the missing numberer lord?  "Tadun didn't think the trouble was big enough, so he worked tirelessly to seek death. "That guy's name is Ben, and you've seen him too.  "Hu Bin seemed to have remembered something interesting. "Where?  Why don't I remember.  "Ta Dun asked eagerly. "Of course it's on the Silver Moon!  You idiot, do you even remember to eat?  "Lin finally couldn't stand it anymore, and casually revealed the secret. "Oh.  It turned out to be the one who was taken advantage of!  No wonder, only he can call on so many numberers to act together.  "Tadun suddenly realized that he finally remembered that the numberer who rented Silver Moon to try to meet Aragorn was also called Ben. Hu Bin lowered his head silently. He did not expect that his fate with the Lords Alliance was quite deep, but they  I was tricked several times when I had an encounter with him. I wonder if Gandalf and the Regent saw this and pushed me to be their opposite. ¡°Bang!  "The soft sound of the wine glass colliding with the table attracted Hu Bin's eyes. "Do you mind if I sit here and have a drink with you, Mr. Reed?  "The Hebrew voice then came from the opposite side of Hu Bin. "Of course" Hu Bin said with a smile. Then his smile suddenly changed, "I mind a lot.  "    "Thanks!  "Hebrew sat down opposite Hu Bin, and after the other numberers saw this scene, they asked others who was sitting at that table. "I have heard of Mr. Reed's name a long time ago.  , I didn¡¯t expect to see you in person today.  "Hebrew said polite words with a smile on his face, but he didn't mean to be polite at all. "My reputation is not comparable to that of you, Lord Hebrew, who is known as the number one numberer in the Gondor camp.  "Hu Bin hates this guy in front of him. But I have to say that he is very powerful. "That's great. Your reputation in Baicheng is very prominent, much better than that of a little lord like me.  "Hebrew is very clear that each numberer who joins the alien camp has received varying degrees of rewards. And it is easier to obtain some precious items in the alien camp. For example, the elf numberer in front of him once sold Lamba  This kind of food. After Hebrews got the news, he carefully investigated the numberer. But as his investigation deepened, the numberer named Reed surprised him more and more.  It¡¯s a point where I have to take it seriously. ¡°If you have something to say, get out of here!  "Lin also knows that the relationship between Hu Bin and these numbered lords is not very good, and this guy named Hebrew, who has a smile on his face and is not smiling, is more annoying than that bastard in Tower Shield. " Hu Bin heard Lin  After saying this, he tried his best to hold back his smile, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Even he had suffered and been scolded by Lin's temper. This Hebrew lord was simply on the receiving end of a gun.  Bo Lai's reaction might be to tear his face angrily, or to ignore Lin shamelessly, or to smile tactfully, or to retreat with a stiff face, but he did not expect that He Lai would smile bitterly at Lin.  Apologized. ¡°Sorry, Ms. Lin, I have something very important to discuss with Mr. Reed tonight, so please bear with me.  ¡± If you don¡¯t reach out and hit the smiling person, even Lin is embarrassed.Don't make things difficult for Hebrews anymore.  "Sir Reed, I won't beat around the bush anymore. I know that the senior management of Baicheng has great opinions on our Lords Alliance, but the orcs will attack the city tomorrow. In fact, we and Baicheng are already ants on a rope.  "I know very well that the Baicheng gang wants to use you to resist us, but now we have no conflict of interest. I believe Baicheng will not have any other arrangements for us in the future." Hebrew put away his hypocrisy!  , said in a sincere tone.  "That's right, now that Baicheng's life and death is at stake, all interests must be based on the victory of this battle. It seems that I have some preconceptions." Hu Bin secretly reflected on whether he was too preconceived. In the future, he may have to  He might be fighting side by side with the guy in front of him, but Hu Bin didn't show any expression on his face.  "It seems that Mr. Reed has also figured it out. Let me just say it directly. We want to form an alliance with you." Hebrew's words once again surprised others, and more people began to take a second look at where they were sitting.  Hu Bin.  "You guys, could it be that this is not your personal attention. It is the result of discussions between you several lords. I'm sorry, I don't think I have anything worthy of your alliance." Hu Bin's face finally changed.  There was a hint of surprise.  "No. You have! I believe that Lord Reed's battle contribution has been completed a lot!" Hebrew said decisively, while Hu Bin smiled noncommittally.  "Ben had contacted me before he set out to look for Aragorn and the Ghost Army. I was curious about how he found the ship out to sea, and the results of the investigation surprised me even more. I didn't expect that the ship actually belonged to you. However,  At that time, I was wondering why you didn't go out to sea to find Aragorn and monopolize this contribution. Later, I realized that space had laid a big hole for our Gondor camp, and the most admirable thing is that you did it at that time.  That's what I thought of." Hebrew looked at Hu Bin with burning eyes.  "What do you want to say?" Hu Bin was not surprised that Hebrew would find this out.  After all, I can think of it, and so do others.  "I don't mean anything else. Although Aragorn's Ghost Army is not indispensable to this battle, it cannot be relinquished to fate. Someone must bear this responsibility, and thank you for your ships, otherwise we will not be able to even  There is no chance to choose," Hebrews hurriedly explained.  Then he hesitated and then whispered: "In fact, our lord's main mission is different from others." "Oh?" Hu Bin finally heard what he was interested in.  "Unlike other numberers, we have only one main mission, which is to ensure that White City is not completely captured." Hebrew seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after saying these words.  "Although we have all the conveniences of the lords, we can even recruit our own guards and maintain a certain strength, but the corresponding thing is that we have to ensure that Baicheng will not fall. So no matter how big the conflict between us and the senior officials of Baicheng is, it is impossible to  There is still some selfishness at this time," Hebrews said.  "Then why did you use your strength to arouse the hatred of Baicheng's senior officials before?" Hu Bin asked with some confusion.  "Inexplicable various war taxes, they want us new lords to come up with more supplies, but the old lords don't have to do this. Now that I think about it, it is basically exploitation of us." Some Hebrews  said angrily.  "Then you refused?" "Of course. As numberers, how could we agree to such an unreasonable request? And in the subsequent lords' meeting, Baicheng refused to allow us to participate." Hu Bin was also present at the second lords' meeting.  I thought it was because these numbered lords themselves did not attend this meeting, but I didn't expect it was due to Baicheng's side.  "So what happened to that operation in the north? Didn't you use this to blackmail Baicheng into giving out more rewards?" Hu Bin had a hunch that he was getting closer to the truth.  "That mission was led by Li. I don't know the specific situation, but according to Baicheng's consistent style, the reward given is probably not enough for us to consume on the road. There are so many numbered people following us to make a living. If we don't fight for it,  Should we let them drink the northwest wind? " Hu Bin wanted to see some flaws in Hebra's face, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was telling the truth.  "Impossible! The regent has allocated a lot of funds to you, but you still haven't agreed to send troops. This is what Gandalf said to me personally. He has no reason to deceive me." Although Hu Bin said this, he couldn't do anything about it himself.  Convince yourself.  "It seems that there may be some misunderstandings, but we have indeed encountered difficulties from Baicheng. There is no doubt about this.Our plans to complete the main quest were greatly hampered.  "Hebrew said with a grimace. "So, the purpose of your request to form an alliance with me is to ease the relationship with Baicheng?  "Hu Bin somewhat understood the meaning of Hebrew. "Of course it's not just these. We would like to ask you to help us apply for some tasks with high contribution. I believe that Mr. Reed, who is known as the God of Wealth, will not even do this.  Not yet!  "Okov said with a smile. "Contribution?  What do you want and what do you want?  " "Although we don't need it, the numberers under our command still need it very much. They have paid a lot for the victory of this battle, but they have missed many opportunities because of us.  " Hu Bin touched his nose and remained silent. He played a lot of role in this matter. He began to quietly think about the ins and outs of the whole matter, constantly reflecting on the situation between Baicheng and the numbered lord.  However, they found that if Hebrew did not lie about the content of the main mission, then they really had no reason to offend Baicheng for some petty profits, and if they really did so, there would not be so many numberers to support them.  Thinking of this, Hu Bin felt that the truth of the matter was about to surface, but there was still some important information missing in his speculation, but this did not affect the alliance with Hebrews, and when the time came, they would  After confronting Baicheng, the missing information will come to light. ¡°I agree to form an alliance, but there is a condition.  "Hu Bin raised his head and looked at Hebrew, while Tadun and Lin, who were listening in awe, pricked up their ears. "What are the conditions?  "Hebrew asked with some excitement.
