"What? The outpost is under martial law?"
The temporary head of Kate's caravan, Aite stood in front of the Sika outpost and was blocked by soldiers. After hearing what the soldiers explained, Aite couldn't help but look at Boer beside him.
Although Aite had served in Kate's caravan for ten years, most of the time he followed orders, and suddenly he became the leader, and Aite was not used to it at all.
Especially after what happened before, Aite was really terrified.
Now, unexpected changes occurred in the planned temporary rest place, and Aite was even more upset.
Distraught, Aite didn't hide his emotions.
Pohl saw it right away.
However, Bohr didn't mean to laugh at the other party at all.
In order to complete his main task, Bohr is now sparing no effort to win over anyone who can.
And AT is a good choice.
In other words, the appearance of the independent emblem of the God of War in the Kate Chamber of Commerce team made Boer understand that the person in front of him was worth investing in.
Just imagine, when the convoy had an accident, and the leaders of the convoy and the guards died unexpectedly, Aite independently supported the entire caravan, and safely brought the entire caravan back to Fort Altantin.
As long as the boss of the Chamber of Commerce is not a fool, he will reuse Aite.
Similarly, he, the person who contributed during the period, was naturally able to enter the opponent's field of vision.
In an instant, Bohr, who had made up his mind in his heart, said immediately.
"We have enough food. Although the outpost cannot enter, we can temporarily rest outside the outpost."
"Okay, okay."
"I'll arrange it right away."
Aite nodded again and again, and went to make arrangements.
It's the same as ever.
Bohr thought for a while, and stopped the other party.
"What's the matter, Mr. Pole?"
Aite looked at Bohr puzzled.
"Mr. Aite, you are now the person in charge of the caravan. Even if you are a temporary person in charge, you should have your own aura, and you don't need that kind of submissiveness."
"What's more, a leader can affect the entire team."
"You must know that we still have nearly a day and a night to go."
Ball reminded the other party.
Some things, it is better to say it immediately, otherwise, it will be counterproductive.
Ball knew he needed allies, not enemies.
Aite froze.
"I know."
"But there are some habits that I really can't change."
"Thank you, Mr. Pole."
Aite smiled wryly twice, and then thanked him sincerely.
Facing such sincere thanks, Bohr smiled.
His purpose has been achieved.
next
Naturally, a fire was made to cook.
That person's requirements for food are not low.
Under the command of Aite, the caravan came to the side of the outpost in an orderly manner, and began to rest. It had long been seen that Ashcano of Boer packed up and checked the carriage, and at the same time untied the horses that had been running all night, and put the horses Pull the child aside to rest and feed the fodder.
Ashkano broke pieces of bean cakes and put them in the hay bag.
The bodyguard turned to look at Ball while stroking the horse's mane.
To be precise, it was the big iron pot in front of Boer.
Two big stones formed a simple firepit, the firewood inside was burning, and the bacon, potatoes, radishes and onions in the pot rolled up and down with the soup.
Boer threw a few mud-coated eggs into the firepit, while a few flatbreads stood beside the iron pot. Soon, the smell of wheat wafted away.
Ashkano's nose kept twitching, and he kept swallowing his saliva.
However, knowing who was the boss's bodyguard in the team, he immediately turned around and knocked on the door.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Your Excellency Colin, it's time to eat."
Ashkano said loudly.
"OK."
Qin Ran pushed the door and walked down.
Kieran will not refuse food, even if it tastes mediocre, but he will still accept food made with care.
There is no doubt that Bohr really worked hard again.
Although... the workmanship is average.
"I've never learned how to cook."
"You know, I pay more attention to how to survive."
Boer held the bowl frankly and handed it to Qin Ran.
"Um."
Qin Ran nodded in understanding and took the bowl.
Players, especially rookie players, have entered the dungeon world, so they don't pay attention to cooking skills and other skills. Skills and props that can quickly increase their own strength are everything.
And this situation, even if it is an advanced player, will not change.
As for the mimosas
That's special and doesn't count.
Thinking of the mimosa, Qin Ran picked up the bowl and took a sip.
The taste of the bacon has been thoroughly integrated into the soup, the stewed potatoes are rotten, the radishes are soft, the scones are crispy, and the baked eggs are also quite satisfactory. Just like other foods, there is no conflict, but there is nothing eye-catching .
but…
Fill up!
Therefore, Qin Ran didn't think any more, and started to eat his own breakfast.
Looking at Qin Ran's appearance, Boer couldn't help but heaved a long sigh of relief.
For him, Kieran without any change in expression was the best thing.
As for more
He made up his mind that after returning to the huge city, he would learn to cook.
But that's for later.
Now
"Ash, eat."
Ball greeted his bodyguards.
The bodyguard, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately joined the breakfast.
Not just the three of Qin Ran, but the entire team were eating breakfast.
Some are as simple as brown bread and hot water.
Some, like Bohr, buried their pots for cooking.
The period from the rising of the morning sun to the time when the sun rises to the center of the sky is the rest time for the team.
In the afternoon, they will continue on the road.
Of course, not all.
Some caravans who experienced what happened last night will temporarily stay around the outpost. After a day of complete rest, they will choose to go on the road at dawn, because that will lead to the next outpost, the Atendinopost, before dark.
But this is not destined to be the choice of the Kate caravan and some caravans that must rush to Eitantinople as soon as possible.
They wouldn't want to take such a risk if they could.
But they don't have a choice.
Most of it is because of the contract.
There is also time for caravans to transport goods.
After this time, the merchant will pay a large amount of Kimpton.
This is enough to make most businessmen go back to before liberation overnight, or even simply go bankrupt.
People who have already lived a life that is not very respectable, but rich enough, absolutely do not want to return to the poor class.
So, they choose to take risks.
After breakfast, except for the necessary security personnel, the entire convoy fell into silence, and most of them fell into a dream. After a night of fear, the merchants leaning on the outpost were finally able to rest well.
However, this definitely does not include Qin Ran.
After habitually checking his surroundings, Kieran turned his gaze to the distance, the direction of Fort Altantino.
After about ten minutes—
Rumble!
The sound of horseshoes sounded like thunder.
The sleeping merchants were awakened one after another, subconsciously they picked up their weapons, and the caravan guards unsheathed their swords and lit the matchlocks of their matchlock guns.
The soldiers of the Xika post even walked up to the wooden fortifications of the post, looking at the direction of Fort Eitantine guardingly one by one.
It wasn't until the hundred-man cavalry team appeared and looked at the golden swallowtail flag held high by the leading knight that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The golden swallowtail flag flutters in the wind.
The eagle pattern on the top made the appearance of spreading its wings and flying high.
This is the coat of arms of the royal family of Aitantine.
And when the team came to the Sika outpost, they reined in their horses together, and one of the soldiers in leather armor jumped off the horse and ran directly to the Sika outpost.
A moment later, when the soldier returned, the cavalry team of a hundred men ran towards the direction of Sika City again.
During the whole process, this team didn't communicate with the merchant team in any way, and didn't even take a second look.
And the merchants were very cooperative and didn't make any noise, only talking in a low voice after the cavalry team left.
"This is the royal cavalry guard."
"It is the elite army created by His Majesty the First who once created the entire Aitantine."
"How did they defend Atendinople appear here?"
"Could it be to welcome the new lord of Sika Territory?"
"It seems that His Majesty VI really values the new lord!"
"Of course!"
"The whole of Aitantine, no, the whole of Beilu, who still has the new lord 'attractive'—you know, she is an extremely 'rich' widow."
"And the treasury of our Majesty VI is not too rich, otherwise, he would not have issued such a decree."
"So, you understand."
…
The news of the merchants is undoubtedly well-informed.
Soon, some indistinguishable rumors appeared in the caravan.
After hearing the news, Boer quietly observed Qin Ran's expression.
In Boer's mind, what happened in the Sika Territory had nothing to do with Qin Ran. To put it simply, Kieran took advantage of a series of emergencies to control the entire Sika Territory.
Now someone popped up all of a sudden, they were going to compete for the fruits of victory, and they were going to pick peaches.
According to the character of this 'flame demon' according to the rumors, this royal guard team should die without a place to die.
However, to Boer's surprise, Kieran didn't show any expression, and just leaned against the chair in the carriage, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Qin Ran didn't show any expression, and Boer didn't dare to ask any more.
He's doing what he's supposed to do—
Fill the heater with charcoal to keep the whole car warmer.
The sound of charcoal being filled into the stove kept coming to Kieran's ears. Just now, Boer's observation gaze, which he thought was hidden, did not escape Kieran's intuition.
But Qin Ran didn't have any further explanations.
Just like he would never tell the other party, he had already arranged everything.
Otherwise, why would he send a superior evil spirit to follow that baroness
Just to see the baroness staring at the higher evil spirit like a girl
He is not that boring.
He just pays attention to the upper evil spirit occasionally.
…
The superior evil spirit who had been sitting opposite the baroness suddenly opened his eyes as if he was asleep.
The corner of its mouth curled up.
"Everything is as expected by the boss."
"Even a king will not be tempted by a large land."
The current situation of Sikaland is extremely special.
After the viscount died, especially after the other party's son was also missing, and a large group of relatives were executed, the real heir was only the baroness.
Even if the other party has not officially inherited the territory of Sika Territory.
However, the value of the other party has long been different from the past.
It can even be said to be extremely sought-after.
Because, no one would and would not mind 'marrying' this widow, and then inherit a large amount of land in the entire Sika Territory through her.
The land is sacrosanct!
This is a fact recognized by the entire Aitantine, even the Northland and the South.
However, marital property is also recognized.
Especially after one party is at a 'disadvantage', such recognition is even more obvious.
In this regard, in order to better serve his own boss, the upper-level evil spirits have learned about it.
At the same time, the upper level evil spirits are more clear about the sentence 'never overestimate a person's bottom line when facing temptation. '
Therefore, it looked at the baroness.
"Why Simon?"
The sensitive baroness noticed when the upper evil spirit opened her eyes. When the upper evil spirit looked at her, the new Sika Lord immediately asked.
However, it was not a question, but a question in a weak tone.
"Irene, my Lord tells me there is trouble coming."
The higher level evil spirits didn't hide anything.
"trouble?"
"From..."
The baroness did not speak the exact words, but raised her finger and pointed in the direction of Fort Eitantino.
The upper evil spirit nodded.
The baroness sighed softly, with a look of worry on her face.
As a noble-born baroness, although she is nerdy and afraid of socializing, it doesn't mean she is stupid. On the contrary, a lot of them give her insight that ordinary people don't have.
So, the baroness was well aware of her situation.
Otherwise, when her elder brother passed away, she would not have wanted to go to Eitantinople immediately.
Because, she knew very well that only where she went could she be able to deal with a group of greedy people and gain a chance of life.
However, things are different now.
The greedy ones inside are all emptied.
this is a good news.
But there is another bad news.
The bad news: she has to deal with external greed.
A group of more vicious and cunning guys.
Moreover, the leader of the opponent must be that Aitandine VI.
To make matters worse, she's on her way to the other side's lair: Eitantinople.
Thinking of this, the baroness immediately became distraught.
A lot of it gave the baroness a different insight than ordinary people, but it didn't give her the corresponding ability.
Talk on paper.
Perhaps that is the best adjective for this baroness.
But thankfully, she's not alone.
Without any hesitation, the baroness grabbed the hand of the upper evil spirit, held it in her own hands, and placed it in front of her chin. The posture seemed to be praying, and in her eyes was appearing A touch of prayer.
"Simon, help me."
"Of course, my lady."
"That's what I'm traveling with."
The superior evil spirit nodded with a smile, then calmly withdrew his hand and wiped it behind him without the baroness noticing.
