At this time, the merchant Manide had already completed the task assigned to him, and even exceeded the target! He was waiting for the baron to come back and tell him the good news.
He saw De La Serre riding back from afar, and he was overjoyed and ran out to greet him:
"Welcome back, my master! Our grape seeds sold better than expected, and we earned 2,200 dinars!"
"Well, very good. I think it must be your excellent trading skills that can achieve this effect."
Your friendship with merchant Manid increased by 5, and the current friendship is 55.
Comment: When did you become so smooth? But your ability in praising people is not bad.
As expected, after hearing what De Lassel said, the businessman Manide was very moved, and he felt like a wise man meeting a good horse.
"And what about the other half? How is it going?"
"The other half has just been planted. It will take some time for it to grow and yield a return."
"Very good, Manid, you continue to keep an eye on this matter. I'm going to go check on Safiya."
"Yes, my master." Merchant Manid nodded respectfully.
Soon, De Lassel came to Safiya's door. He opened the door quietly and found Safiya and the young dragon Ryan sleeping soundly.
He slowly walked to the bed, leaned over and sat down, looking at Safiya's sweet appearance, and couldn't help but sigh: What a sleeping beauty!
However, even though his movements were very small and the noise was very gentle, he still woke up Safiya.
After all, Safiya is an excellent marksman, and no matter how slight the movement is, it will not escape her ears.
"Baron, you're back. Did anything happen on the way?"
"My princess, no, you see I am intact."
"Yeah, that's right. You do look like a man with strong limbs but a simple mind. Hahaha." Safiya teased the baron.
"Did you learn this from the young dragon Ryan? Oh, it's really easy to be a bad person!"
"Oh?"
What does it have to do with me? I'm teasing you. Isn't it a common thing and a daily necessity
"If you keep on talking, I'll skewer you with branches and roast you like a quail."
“Oh.”
You are so cruel, but I am much stronger than a quail. Look carefully.
Safiya fed me well.
It had been a long time since he had taken a close look at the young dragon Ryan. At this moment, De Lassel realized that it had grown a lot taller.
If it was weaker than a quail before, it is now basically the size of an adult pigeon.
"You're supposed to grow fast, otherwise my milk would just be feeding the dogs."
“Ouch!”
Watch your attitude! I am a dragon, a noble dragon! You...
"Hmm, I wonder what the noble pigeon soup tastes like..."
“Oh.”
Maybe it doesn’t taste good, so don’t drink it.
Safiya no longer had any interest in the conversation between the man and the dragon.
From what De La Serre said, she could tell that the two idiots must be having a boring conversation.
"By the way, Safiya, I borrowed 77 soldiers from Chuchu, including two strong men, Xiaonan and Xiaojia."
"Really... That's great, Royal Ronnie is really awesome..." Safiya didn't look very happy when she heard this news which should have been exciting.
She felt a little inferior in her heart. When she teamed up with the Queen Ronnie to fight the bandits, she discovered her wisdom, bravery and leadership.
Nowadays, it has been discovered that she has accumulated wealth and has a large number of troops. She is rich enough to rival a country and dominate the world.
Maybe if the Baron was accompanied by the Queen Ronnie, the Baron would be able to develop better. In comparison, I am a bit like a burden...
De La Serre saw the resentment and loneliness in Safiya's eyes, so he asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm still asleep. Let me rest for a while. Can you go out first, Baron?"
"It must be the baby dragon Ren. It moved around while sleeping and disturbed you. How about I take it out for a walk and you sleep alone?"
"No, it's fine with me, you can go out now."
“Oh.”
Even I know why my mother is unhappy, but you, a stupid man, can't understand it. I'm really drunk.
"This...Okay, you take a good rest first." For a moment, De La Serre didn't react and didn't realize what he had done wrong.
In the situation just now, it would not be appropriate to ask too much about the young dragon Ryan. It would be better to come out first and ask again when there is a chance.
But running back and forth to Ukraine
Between the Shor and the Royal Ronnie Tavern, De La Serre felt very tired, so he went back to his room and fell into a deep sleep...
"boom!"
When he woke up again, he was shocked by the loud noise!
A Swadian recruit guarding the back door came over to the Baron with a dusty face and said:
"Your Excellency Lord De La Serre, the enemy troops from the Khergit Khanate are coming! They attacked our main city gate at night!"
"Damn it, why didn't you wake me up earlier!" De Lassel hurriedly stood up, quickly put on his armor, took the Germanic sword and rushed out of the lord's hall.
At this time, the town was filled with flames and smoke. Many fireballs thrown by catapults hit the streets and markets in the town, starting a raging fire.
Fortunately, the enemy had not yet broken through the city gates and walls, and the people in the town did not panic. They all stayed at home with the windows closed.
The Swadian recruit followed behind De Lassel and reported:
"The enemy was led by Nayan Tulu, with a total of 125 men. In addition, they had two catapults, which were very formidable siege weapons."
As De La Serre rushed forward, he asked, "What are the casualties between the enemy and us now?"
"We haven't suffered any casualties. Awang led the veterans to shoot and kill more than 20 enemy soldiers on the city wall. Xiaojia led the remaining veterans to block the city gate. Xiaonan led the cavalry to go out from the back door and prepare to launch a surprise attack on the rear of the enemy."
De La Serre was very satisfied with what he heard, and couldn't help but ask again: "Damn, who made this arrangement? It's brilliant!"
The recruit replied, "Before Xiaonan left, Chuhuang Luonier gave him a sachet and told him to open it when he encountered the enemy. This might have been arranged by Chuhuang Luonier."
Well, this is extremely reasonable. Queen Ronnie is an all-rounder rarely seen in a century. I have also heard others tell the story of fighting robbers last time. She arranged it perfectly.
"Very good. Now you go help Xiao Jia defend the city gate, and I will cooperate with Xiao Nan in the sneak attack!"
"As you command, my Lord."
De Lacelle mounted his strong travel horse and galloped towards the back door, just in time to catch up with Xiaonan's troops.
When Xiao Nan saw the Baron coming, he immediately dismounted and knelt, saying:
"Please forgive me for using troops without authorization, Master! The situation is really urgent and there is no time to call you. We can only make arrangements on our own."
