In the wilderness, in the middle of the road.The real guide of the caravan, the old man with white hair on sideburns, introduced Amon to the basic situation of this caravan.This caravan belonged to the Kingsley family of Ordian City, one of the top five largest families in Ordian City, known for their shrewdness and wealth.It is said that three out of every ten caravans that depart from Ordian belong to the Kingsley family, and although cross-city trade is very risky, it is also very profitable, and the Kingsley family has accumulated a huge fortune from it.Led by the Kingsley family, it is actually normal to organize a caravan from Ordian City to Gunde, the city of crafts.In fact, even if the old man had led the way in the wasteland for half his life, and his experience was not abundant, he did not notice anything wrong before encountering the hungry wolf group.But now, knowing the result, I became suspicious, and then looked at the whole process, but there were loopholes everywhere.For example, the guards of the caravan, this large group of mercenaries seems to be a lot, and their individual strength is not weak, but there are no high-level warriors who can really stand on the pillars, and they are still composed of several small mercenary groups.The Kingsley family offered them a very high reward, but they could only receive it after the agreement was successful.In other words, only when the caravan arrives safely and the mercenaries return to Ordian City to deliver the mission can they receive a large amount of money in the future.But what if this group of mercenaries dies halfway through?
Everything is closed!
The Kingsley family is really shrewd to the core, and even saved the money for the lives of this group of people.For example, before leaving, the old man was kindly reminded by the Kingsley family that on the way to Gonde City, a powerful Nemian giant lion was in estrus and was wreaking havoc everywhere.The best way for the caravan to get to Gonde was to head south, and when it reached the border of Ordian City, turn southeast, so as to avoid the Nemian lion area.In normal times, this kind reminder is very common, after all, the Kingsley family has many caravans and is well-informed, and the old man has no suspicion at all, so he accepts it.But now it seems that it is simply a group of people who have thrown themselves into the net.Finally, before that, the old man did not know what goods the caravan was transporting, and out of secrecy, the Kingsley family also had the right to conceal it.But now he knew that it was a weapon for grain and finished products.Food is just that, but what is a finished weapon?
It is understandable that the city of craftsmanship Gongde lacks food, and the lack of raw materials is normal, but as the second largest supplier of weapons and equipment in the Northland, it has always sold weapons and equipment to the outside world, what kind of operation is this purchase?
Finally, the hungry wolf group appeared, and before the raid took place, the lineage of the real Kingsley family in the caravan disappeared and disappeared quietly.Coupled with the extermination of the Hungry Wolf Regiment and the behind-the-scenes attack on Amon, the truth is about to come out, "To put it bluntly, this batch of goods is prepared for the Hungry Wolf Regiment, and the object of the Kingsley family's transaction has never been in the craft city of Gunde, but this group of bandits wandering in the wilderness.We are just outcasts who hide people's ears. ”Hearing this, the villain Rogge was dumbfounded, young people are always simple, even if they have survived a near death, but who has thought of so many twists and turns.He looked at his grandfather in a daze, and only after a long time did he exclaim, "How can they do this?
That's nearly 100 lives?
Are they not afraid, not afraid of the accountability of the consuls?
”"Afraid?
What do they need to be afraid of?
”The corners of the old man's mouth pulled out a helpless smile, as if he had seen through the world, and showed the dark picture of Chi Guoguo in front of his grandson: "The robbery is the hungry wolf group, and the goods belong to the Kingsley family, from beginning to end, they have not had any contact, who can prove that they have had a dark box operation."
Their only concern may be that we mercenaries have seen something, and thus have speculation that it will affect the reputation of the Kingsley family.So, the only thing they have to do to make a deal with the Hungry Wolves is to kill us. ”"This, this" the villain Rogge was speechless, he just muttered to himself in a daze, as if it was difficult to accept.The old man's old face flashed a trace of unbearability, but he didn't open his mouth to persuade again, in fact, he said so much in front of the young man, in order to let him see the truth of the matter and the world clearly.It's cruel, but living in this world, there are some things that you have to face.Amon didn't feel anything, from the moment the wolf knight refused his proposal, he felt that this was not an ordinary robbery, and the old man's explanation just made him understand the reason.As for the conspiracy itself, it is really nothing, he has seen and heard a lot of people in two lives.Of course, there are other things that Amon saw through this incident."
As far as I know, Ordian City has a policy of neutrality, and this itself is the largest place to sell stolen goods in the entire Northland, and the wilderness pirates are free to enter and trade as long as they obey the laws of the city.But why did the Kingsley family and the hungry wolf group go around in such a big circle?
And, listen to you, the Kingsleys seem to have other scruples?
”The old man glanced at Amon with a strange look in his eyes and asked, "Can you ask how long Your Excellency has been in the wasteland?"
”"Probably, about a month and a half, right?
What's wrong?
”"Then it's no wonder.About a month and a half ago, an envoy from the Lion City came to Ordian City to meet with the seven consuls and the patriarch of the Church of the God of Power and Prestige.Then the entire city of Ordian issued a decree to expel all the wilderness pirates from the territory, and forbade the caravans of Ordian City to trade with the wilderness pirates in any form, and if they were discovered, they would be severely punished. ”"In other words, Ordian City has completely sided with Lion City?!"
This was something Amon didn't know, his expression moved slightly, and he asked, "Then do you know what means the Lion City used?"
How many benefits were promised?
What made Aldian City change its position like this?
”The old man smiled bitterly: "Those big people, small people like me naturally don't know the inside story."
But according to the news in our circle of guides, in order to exterminate the wilderness bandits, the Lion City's actions are not insignificant.Ordian City is only a side impact, there are as many as five legions from Lion City alone, not counting the foreign aid invited, it is said that the sons of war in Diroth City, the Gumeng Legion of Kelmar City have appeared on the battlefield. ”"The Gumeng Legion?"
As if plucking a string in his mind, Amon asked, "Wait, you mean it's already a fight?"
”"It's been a fight a long time ago, and if you count it seriously, it's been almost half a month.""
And how is the battle?""
The news before my departure was a big win for the Lion City.Come to think of it, the wilderness pirates are just a group of bandits after all, how can they fight head-on with the regular legions?
But it's not clear now, as you know, it's been a few days since we set off, and the news is not timely. ”Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but complain: "I don't know what the lion king in Lion City thinks, the war is chaotic, and the entire wasteland is in chaos."
Everywhere there were bandits of the wandering wasteland, burning, killing and plundering, so that we, the merchants, did not dare to come out and work. ”"The city gate is on fire, and the fish in the pond are affected!"
This was definitely something Amon felt, and even he, a person who thought he was unrelated, was affected.It can be said that under the big war, the entire northern land will be in turmoil, and no one can escape here.However, this was not something he could solve, but with a sigh, Amon asked the question he was most concerned about: "By the way, do you know which legion the Gumeng people sent?"
”"Ancient Mongolian people?
I think about it, seems to have heard of it once?
”The old man patted his head and thought for a long time before he said, "It seems to be the Legion of City Splitters, and the leader is said to be the second son of King Kelma, what is his name?"
”Amon paused as he walked, and then turned his head: "Wade, his name is Wade Odoyak." ”
