    On the night of Blair's arrival, the memories of discussing follow-up actions finally began. The location was in the courtyard where Lidia lived. It was made up of several large tables. The captains of the seven mercenary regiments gathered in a circle, plus  Enter Private Captain Blair.  However, except for Lydia, everyone else seemed to be quite critical of Erwin's participation. After hearing about Erwin's origin, the private captain Blair kept a calm expression and did not express any opinions.  .  "Lidya, this is your partner, not ours. Isn't it appropriate for you to let him participate like this?" Before the meeting started, the leader of a mercenary group pointed at Erwin and said.  Lidia glared at him with dissatisfaction. The middle-aged man who took the lead in attacking was Arman, the leader of the Black Pan Mercenary Group. He often had trouble dealing with their Thorn Flowers. There was a slight negotiation about the scope of activities between the two parties. In the past, they  There were several conflicts.  "What's inappropriate? We all gathered together for the murderer. The only purpose is to kill that demon. Is there any need to care about other things so much?" Lidia crossed her arms and looked at Al with contempt.  Man, "If you can find such a powerful helper, then I won't say any nonsense. Although Lydia hated Erwin because of his strong fighting power before, but now that both parties have cooperated, then Erwin  It can be regarded as a fighting force on the side of the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group, and it is also the highest-end fighting force here. Lidia will naturally be dissatisfied with the actions of others to exclude him. ¡°But our actions need to be secretive, I heard you.  Does this collaborator know the murderer?  "The leader of another mercenary group lowered his eyelids and glanced at Erwin with a vague look in his cloudy eyes. "Can you guarantee that he will not leak our actions?  " Lidia's two thin eyebrows gradually frowned, and her face slowly darkened. Even if she was not a smart person, she could still tell after so many years that the leaders of this group of mercenary groups were colluding and began to discuss the follow-up actions.  Before, I planned to exclude Erwin. The reason for doing this was because Erwin was too powerful and his status as a powerful person was enough to shock any mercenary group here. The key is that this powerful person.  He also stood beside the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group, which was not originally at the top. The equipment and members of the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group were excellent, but they were lacking in high-end combat effectiveness. The entire mercenary group was just that.  There are only four or five elite warriors. If you add a powerful person like Erwin, then the strength of the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group is enough to surpass other mercenary groups and catch up with some large mercenary groups.  The mercenary groups that were originally leading among the seven mercenary groups felt threatened. They all came for the murderer, whether it was for fame or profit. Originally, everyone's strength was about the same.  Everyone acts according to their abilities, and now that the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group has such a powerful master, it will naturally arouse their common enemies. Lidia is not only angry and helpless for this group of colleagues, but also angry that there is no trace of the murderer.  At that time, secret fighting and internal strife began, but unfortunately, she could not make any accusations for this. Compared with mercenaries, they are almost like businessmen. They all act for profit. Even their Thorn Flower Mercenary Group, for reputation, etc.  In fact, it can also be attributed to the aspect of profit. As for whether Erwin will leak the news, Lidia cannot guarantee this at all, and she does not dare to take this risk carelessly, otherwise when the time comes.  If she failed again, this group of people might point their fingers at her. Seeing that Lydia had nothing to say, the leaders of several mercenary groups immediately cheered up. Although they were concerned about Lydia's background and origins.  , but they are not willing to swallow their anger in front of her, and the appearance of this mysterious young man has threatened their interests. Even if they are strong men, they do not want this guy to take away the small reward.  . Seeing Lidia¡¯s gloomy face and being speechless, Erwin couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He could also see the twists and turns in this. He thought that they had such a threat from a murderer.  It¡¯s better to have a longer-term perspective, but I didn¡¯t expect that I would do anything for the immediate interests. ¡°Everyone¡­¡± As soon as Erwin spoke, everyone on the table looked at him. ¡°First of all, I want to make a statement.  One point, the purpose of my participation in your operation is to get rid of the murderer, and I am not interested in the so-called reward.  And the person I know may not be a murderer. The reason why I cooperated with Captain Lidia is to confirm this.  In addition, you don¡¯t have to worry about whether the news will be leaked. My friend and I are just two people. We are under your nose no matter where we go, so how can we send the news out?  " Hearing what Erwin said, the heads of the seven mercenary regiments had different expressions. Some were relieved, some obviously didn't believe it, and some looked thoughtful. "That one didn't speak.  A faceThe quiet private captain Blair, who had been sizing up Erwin when he spoke, finally smiled and said: "Your Excellency is right, our target should be on the murderer, and  It's not that when the commission was not completed, he was always coveting how to distribute the bounty" Blair said and looked around with his eyes. Except for a few people with open minds, no one else dared to meet his eyes.  A look of contempt flashed before Blair's eyes, then he looked at Erwin again and asked: "Sir, I understand your mood, but I have a question. If the friend you know is really a murderer, what will you do?  How to do it? Help him out of friendship? Or" "I will kill him." Erwin said this without hesitation, but the hearts of those in the room seemed to be pulled.  It felt inexplicably tight.  "Then you are welcome to join us. With a strong man like you joining us, our actions will become easier this time." Blair smiled. He didn't mind leaving a good impression on a strong man.  Even if they can get acquainted, it will be a big help to his current status.  With Blair's words, others have nothing to say no matter how unhappy they are. After all, there are no requirements or restrictions for joining their temporary group.  After confirming Erwin's participation, everyone began to discuss the follow-up actions. The failure of the last siege had taught them a lot of lessons. At the same time, they also roughly knew the strength of the murderer, which was equivalent to a powerful person.  The strong strength of the person.  During their discussion, Erwin also roughly understood the experience of the last battle with the murderer.  Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that more than ten mercenary groups had just gathered, and the murderer started killing people in that city, and he happened to be surrounded by more than ten mercenary groups.  However, due to the lack of organization, the combat effectiveness was too dispersed, and they were immediately broken out by the murderous maniac.  And now these seven mercenary groups all suffered the least losses in the last ambush. It is said that the mercenary group that suffered the largest loss was directly reduced by two-thirds, and the entire mercenary group was almost broken up.  However, Erwin heard from the conversations and discussions among this group of people that there were still big discrepancies and deficiencies in their estimates of the killer's strength, and at the same time they were somewhat complacent about injuring the killer.  If this murderer is really created by the Final Cult like Gejir, and both have the characteristics of evil cursed creatures, then like Gejir, he will increase his strength at an astonishing speed, and can turn over in just a few days.  Twice as much, and the self-healing ability is comparable to that of an alchemical potion that is as expensive as gold. This group of leaders was very proud of the injury, and the murderer may be able to recover in the blink of an eye.  Last time Erwin met Rex in the tavern, and learned from him that the killer was stronger and more cunning than Gajeel. So now, his strength has at least doubled several times, and should be far beyond the average.  A powerful person of rank.  On the other hand, even worse, Gajeel was just an ordinary boy at first. After turning into a murderer, his strength increased too horribly. If Rex is really a murderer, given his own rank,  The strength of a strong man, coupled with the speed of growth of a murderer.  For the Turbo hinterland, this is undoubtedly a terrible disaster.  Looking at the group of mercenary captains who were having a heated discussion in front of him, Erwin opened his mouth and finally decided not to remind them.  If the worst situation really develops, Erwin alone may not be able to deal with the murderer. Then the group of mercenaries in front of him will be a good help, but if they understand the terror of their opponents, it will be difficult to guarantee this.  Will a group of profit-focused guys run away from the battlefield?  The discussion among this group of mercenary captains was very general. Although they were no longer rookies, everyone had their own opinions, and no one was convinced by anyone in their hearts. There would be no results if such a chaotic discussion continued.  There were even many people who were still dissatisfied with the fact that the Thorn Flowers had lost their murderous maniacs, but they were choked back by Lidia's sudden grab for free. Although each member of their Thorn Flower mercenary group had a horse, the number of them was not large after all.  , being able to pursue him for so long is already considered amazing.  Private Captain Blair listened to the messy discussion of these mercenary captains, and his brows began to wrinkle with dissatisfaction. He knew very well that continuing the discussion like this was a waste of time, so he reached out and patted the table, attracting everyone's attention.  Attract the past.  "Everyone, our clueless discussion is not a solution at all. The only useful thing is to waste time. Otherwise, how about you come one by one and tell us the solutions you have thought of and see which one is feasible?" Blair  The proposal was finally agreed by everyone, and then Arman, the leader of the original Black Pan Mercenary Group, put forward his own opinion.  "It's just that although Blair's proposal is good, it forgets that this group of people have mutual respect for each other."?The idea of ????destroying trouble, after all, no one is willing to fall behind others, and everyone's method cannot take into account all aspects, so it evolved into a mercenary group leader proposing a method, and the other group leaders immediately found out the flaws in it and then  With constant belittling, a good discussion turned into finding fault with everyone.  Blair could no longer maintain his silence, and covered his head with a painful expression. He wanted to throw out these bastards who were trying to undermine each other one by one. When he saw Erwin, who had been sitting in the corner silently, his thoughts changed.  Suddenly he asked him: "Sir, do you have any opinions?" Blair's words directly suppressed the discussion of others. Everyone fell silent and turned to look at Erwin, wanting to see this.  Are the powerful people just idiots who only know brute force? Can you give me any good ideas?  Erwin had actually been thinking about how to use the group of people in front of him to find the murderous maniac. When he saw Blair asking him, he didn't shirk and said directly: "I don't have any good ideas." Everyone heard  When Erwin said this, he felt a sudden burst of contempt. Everyone here could at least speak eloquently. After all, as a mercenary leader, he couldn't be too idiotic.  But Erwin did not pause, but continued: "But after listening to your discussion just now, I have come to a few conclusions." Blair was still a little disappointed at first, but now he immediately looked like he was listening.  "You have said so much, but in summary there are only two questions. One is how to find the murderer, and the other is how to kill him after finding him." When Erwin glanced at him, several mercenary captains subconsciously  He nodded. "Don't worry about how to kill him for now. Let's consider how to find him first. The total number of your seven mercenary groups is not large. There are more than three hundred people.  It's like becoming a city's garrison.  But compared to the entire Turbo hinterland, these more than three hundred people are simply a small fish in the river or a small tree in the jungle, with no meaning at all.  " Erwin directly explained the problem clearly, instead of throwing out a so-called solution like other group leaders, and it sounded more meaningful. Blair nodded after hearing this and asked: "Then we  What should I do?  " "First of all, we need to make sure that the more than three hundred of us cannot be too scattered. Otherwise, by the time we gather again, the murderer will have disappeared long ago. As for how to find the trace of the murderer, we need to wait until he takes action again.  .  " Hearing Erwin's words, everyone took a breath. Lidia immediately stared and shouted: "What did you say?  Do you want us to wait here in vain, waiting for that devil to continue killing people?  " "Then what are you going to do?  If you have an exact and effective method, do you still need me to talk nonsense here?  " Erwin suddenly raised his voice and looked at Lidia with sharp eyes. The latter seemed to remember his terrifying sword, and was so frightened that his head shrank, his momentum immediately dropped, and he was speechless. "  This scene made all the men present feel inexplicably unhappy. "I don't want civilians to be killed, but other than that, we won't be able to find the murderer in a short time. If we spread out our manpower to search, we won't find him until we find him."  If he kills again, it will be too late for us to gather together and surround him, and he will escape.  ""Liar" Lidia couldn't help but murmured in a low voice. She still clearly remembered that Erwin said in the tavern that Lorenzo's life and death as a civilian had nothing to do with him. Erwin did not listen.  Speaking of Lidia, he continued: "Of course we are not sitting here waiting in vain. Judging from the murderer's actions, although he chose the location immediately, he has been heading south. We can also divide it into several groups.  Let¡¯s rush south together as a group, don¡¯t stay too far away from each other and keep in touch. As long as the murderer appears, we can quickly gather to encircle and suppress¡± Erwin¡¯s method is not very good, but at least it is better than other mercenary groups.  It¡¯s better to just talk about it. ¡°Very good, I personally agree with your approach. Do you have any other suggestions or anything that needs to be added?  " Blair nodded with satisfaction, and then asked other people. "The other mercenary captains looked at each other, but they didn't expect Blair to be so optimistic about this young man. Although they were dissatisfied, Blair had already made his attitude clear.  After coming out, anyone with no eyesight would know that if they expressed dissatisfaction, they would undoubtedly offend this private soldier captain with an unusual status and background. Everyone nodded in agreement. At least Erwin had Blair's support, and he also had the support of Blair.  He has made it clear that he is not interested in offering rewards. It is better for him as an "outsider" to come up with ideas than other mercenary captains. Moreover, being in the limelight also comes with risks. If there is a slight mistake in the process, then the responsibility will also be taken.  You can all focus on this young man.So although these mercenary captains were a little dissatisfied, they still didn't have much resistance to Blair's decision.  It¡¯s just that they all forgot one thing. No matter what happens, as long as Erwin walks away, can these people still stop him?  Probably only Lydia, who heard Erwin's "cold-blooded declaration" in the tavern, would be wary of Erwin being so interested in her now.  But others didn¡¯t think too much about it. With Erwin giving such a general method of action, they began to discuss the details and possible oversights.  Erwin was not in the mood to listen to this. He said hello to Blair, who had a good impression of him, and left the room and went to the courtyard outside.  But as soon as Erwin arrived in the yard, he heard footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw that Lidia had followed him out from nowhere.  "When did a cold-blooded person like you become so enthusiastic?" Lidia stared at him, "What are you planning?" "Am I cold-blooded?" Erwin thought of his weird mentality and suddenly  Sighing: "Maybe, I did this just to find the murderer."
