The midday breeze mixed with the rustling of leaves on both sides of the road made everyone in the caravan feel drowsy. After three days of departure from Lake Esmir, the entire caravan did not encounter any trouble, which made the apostles who had experienced a lot of harassment in the wild area a little unaccustomed.
However, this necessary relaxation is what they need now, after all, not everyone can stretch their nerves for a long time. In Mileras the signs were even more pronounced. The originally unshaven and haggard prince of the Sun Elf finally got rid of his decadent otaku appearance and regained his former radiant and confident appearance.
It's just that the price of changing this image is not what Qin Lun wants to see. One morning, Mileras saw the sharpness of the Guilty Dagger, so he borrowed it. When the Japanese elf prince returned, Qin Lun saw the stubble from the blood groove on the dagger.
If it wasn't for Milleras running fast, Qin Lun doubted whether he could suppress the runaway Joey. The anatomist almost disemboweled the sun elf prince on the spot, making him understand that angels can also be transformed into the day after tomorrow.
Although the worst result didn't happen, Joey still wanted to throw away the evil dagger for a while. The murderer thought that this relic of killing life had been defiled by Mileras, and it was completely unworthy to be used as an art tool.
When the caravan was a little lazy, there was a sudden slight vibration on the road. The apostles in the team moved slightly and straightened their bodies from the horseback.
"It's cavalry, very fast!" Stark jumped off the horse and listened to the ground for a while, then his expression changed slightly, he turned to look at Qin Lun behind, and shouted, "Fira Well, did Elistine find anything?"
Hearing this, Qin Lun covered the sun with his palms, raised his head to look at the sky, and observed the giant eagle that Elisteen transformed into. After watching for a while, the young man shook his head and replied, "Elisten signaled us to get out of the way, the other party is not coming towards us!"
The coachmen and fellows in the caravan followed the instructions of the apostles, drove the carriage to the side of the road, and waited for the other party to pass by first.
The vibration from the ground came from far to near, and soon everyone heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes, and a cavalry team of about ten people came into everyone's field of vision from the corner of the straight road.
This team of cavalry wore chain armor and steel armor, and the vital parts of the horses also had leather vests. They were relatively elite heavy cavalry. They wear a uniform hoodie over their bodies, with a red sword and shield symbol depicted on the chest and shoulder armor of the hoodie. This is the official army of Amn - the Amn Guard.
"They seem to have experienced a fierce battle!" Robin's eyes flickered, and he leaned against Stark and said softly.
Stark glanced at the horsemen and nodded in agreement. There were bloodstains on the armor and horses of the Amn cavalrymen. Some people had bandages on their heads, faces and limbs, with bright red blood seeping from underneath. Even their armors had many dents.
"Well, although the Amn Guards are not an elite army, they are still huge in the territory of Amn. I don't know what happened ahead." Stark frowned, "Robin, do we need to take a detour? "
"Let Longer and the others go to the front to investigate later. This place is relatively close to the mountains, and Elisine's vision in the sky may be limited." Robin said with a smile, "It's been too easy these days, a little trouble It lifts everyone's spirits."
"I hope it won't be a big scene!" Stark smiled wryly and shook his head.
This small group of cavalry did not pay attention to the caravan on the side of the road. Their speed was very fast, and they kept their heads on their way. Like a whirlwind, they passed most of the caravan in just a few seconds.
"Hey!" A surprised voice came from among the cavalry, and a heavy armored cavalry leader suddenly raised a fist, signaling the cavalry to slow down. He reined in the reins, and the tall horseman under his crotch stood up. After a neigh, he turned around on the spot, turned around and stopped.
The leading heavy armored knight looked no different from other cavalrymen, but when he really stopped and straightened up from his horseback, the caravan people realized that his body was much taller than normal people.
Under the standard hood of the heavily armored knight, he was wearing a pair of pure black plate armor. Looking carefully, compared with his companions, there seemed to be more damage and dents on it. Apparently during the fight, he was attacked more.
Seeing the heavy armored knight stop, the other cavalry also reined in their horses one after another, looking at their leader with some doubts. But at this time, the heavy armored cavalry hesitated instead, the horse under his crotch snorted a little anxiously, and scratched the dirt on the ground with its hooves.
Thinking of the heavy responsibility on his body, the heavy armored knight finally gritted his teeth, jumped off his horse, and walked towards the caravan on the side of the road.
"Where are you caravan, who is the leader?" The heavy armored knight's voice was deep and deep.
He took off his helmet, revealing a young Chinese character face. The eyebrows on his face were thick and black, his eyes were sharp and energetic, and the brown curls wet with sweat were pressed against his forehead, showing a resolute expression.
"The Hulan family of Tethyr salutes you. I am Xifu Hulan. How can I help?" Said.
"It really saves us a lot of trouble to have such a plot noble standing in front of us!" Robin said appreciatively, looking at the elegant young nobleman, "The Zhentarim will never have imagined that we are so lucky. God found such good cover."
"Yeah, I was worried that with so many elves in the team, it would be easy to reveal their identities!" Stark replied with a smile.
"Amn Guards, Bonny!" The heavily armored knight said in a short but capable tone, waving his leather-covered hand, and said with a sullen face, "I will recruit your mercenary group in accordance with Amn's business principles. "
"What?" The noble youth and the old butler were shocked, and Xi Fu blushed and said angrily, "You can't do this!"
Unlike his master, the old butler has experienced more storms after all. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately calmed down, grabbed the noble young man, turned around and smiled at the knight and said, "Knight Bonnie, we are not local merchants in Amn.
Before entering Amn, I also studied Amn's business principles, which is not a law, but just a trade guild's business norms. And... I remember very clearly that even these regulations are only for caravans, you shouldn't be considered caravans, right? "
"Is that so?" The heavily armored knight twitched his lips and said in a deep voice, "Have you thought about it clearly? This is not my personal order, but a call-up order issued by the Amn Guard!"
The noble youth and the old butler fell silent at the same time, this time they understood. The bullshit businessmanship is just an excuse. The heavy armored knights are threatening them in the name of the Amn Guards. The cavalry in front of them should really be in a lot of trouble.
"Excuse me, are you..." The old butler glanced at the noble young man. It was obviously the first time that Xi Fu encountered such a thing, and he was a little speechless with anger, so he had to continue to come forward.
"I am the deputy head of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Amn Guards. As for our affairs, they are classified and I cannot tell you now." The heavily armored knight was silent for a while, and told the old housekeeper about his origin, and slowed down a little. Said the tone.
"Helping us will not hurt the caravan. As long as you respond to the call, I will issue you a special order for the Amn Guard's supplies afterwards. With this order, you can get it in Amn within a year. With the assistance of the guards, even the official station will be open to you."
Hearing this assurance, the noble youth and the old housekeeper were finally moved. They themselves are the nobles of Tethyr. Although they have fallen, they are still very safe in the country. If they can get official asylum in Amn, even if it is only for one year, it will be enough for them to gain a firm foothold.
As for the route from Amn to Baldur's Gate, they took the sea route. Both Amn and Baldur's Gate have severely cracked down on pirates. Basically, there will be no danger in this section of the Sword Coast.
For the Hulan Chamber of Commerce, with this special material call-up order, it is completely acceptable even if they lose some money on this trip.
"We understand what you mean. However, even if we agree, the recruiting of the mercenary regiment still requires the willingness of the mercenaries!" The old butler said cautiously.
"You don't need to worry about that. The mercenaries who are looking for work in Amn may not be able to refuse the kindness of the Amn guards!" The heavily armored knight breathed a sigh of relief. He was confident that he could persuade the mercenaries.
Of course, if the apostles were really ordinary mercenaries in Amn begging for a living, then the reason why the Amn Guard owed a favor was indeed very convincing. pity…
Stark, who came after the heavy armored knight, had only chatted a few words before his face turned blue. Robin was not present at this time. As a beautiful woman, she wisely chose to let Stark stand out in this case.
When Stark learned from the old butler that the business ethics did not apply to the current situation, he yawned and ignored the deputy head of the cavalry in front of him, just continuing to perfunctory every sentence out of politeness. .
"Defy the enlistment of the Amn guards, and your mercenary group will be unable to move an inch in Amn!" Boni said with a gritted face and gritted his teeth.
Amn governs the country with business, but tolerance for the chamber of commerce does not mean the same tolerance for mercenaries. What's more, the Amn cavalry encountered an urgent situation this time, and there was no one nearby to call for help, so Bonnie decided to focus on these formidable-looking mercenaries.
Stark dismissed Boni Knight's threats dismissively. They really didn't intend to continue messing around in Amn.
"Test them, maybe you can agree to it." Robin and Qin Lun's reminders came from Stark's communication channel at the same time.
"By the way, they are the Amn Guards, the official organization of Amn. This cover is stronger than the Hulan Chamber of Commerce!" Stark thought for a while, and his eyes lit up immediately.
"Boni Knight, we have signed an employment contract with the chamber of commerce, and it is difficult to accept other employment before we reach our destination." Stark raised his chin and said reservedly, "However, if you can explain in detail what happened to you?" What trouble, maybe we can discuss it with Sir Hulan again."
Shit, the Hulan Chamber of Commerce has already agreed, don't you want to fight for better conditions? Boni slandered in his heart, but he had nothing to do, he hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his hand to pull Stark aside.
"I can tell you, but you must swear by the mercenary code that you must not leak the situation." Bonnie looked at Stark seriously, and only after he nodded, he said softly, "We are encircling and suppressing the spread of the Twin Towers The undead that came out..."
