Chapter 137 (1/2)
”When shall we leave?”
William went straight.
”In a hurry?” Sean wondered why William was so nervous.
”The Loveland garrison is a new army.” William opened his mouth and said, ”the other party sent a veteran. The two sides are not at the same level at all. If there is an excellent commander, it's OK to say, but this is exactly what Loveland lacks If the commander of the other side found that rofran's defense was so weak, what would they do? ”
Hearing William's guess, Sean immediately understood.
An army without a flag or designation is a bandit army in the eyes of the world. Bandit armies often appear in areas with poor public security. They commit all kinds of crimes of burning, killing and looting. Of course, there are people who are forced to do this. However, most of them are not good things in people's eyes. Some bandit armies flee everywhere and never hunt in one place.
Even if the bandit army is banned by the order, it has the quality of the regular army. Even everyone knows which aristocratic private army this ”bandit army” is, but there is no actual and conclusive evidence. No one will move this matter to the table, but deal with it directly as bandits and robbers. The plundered territory can only admit bad luck. Of course, if you are not convinced, you can also get such a bandit army to plunder the other party's territory.
Don't break it as if you don't know. This is the favorite hidden rule among nobles.
A fig leaf.
It is not uncommon for bandits to attack a city or even burn a city down with a fire. If the army knew that the defense force of the city of rofeland was so weak, they would certainly wave their troops directly without saying a word and destroy a city on a competitor's territory. No matter which nobleman likes to do, they will at least feel comfortable physically and mentally.
According to the regulations of the miracle continent, once this non war mode of siege is encountered, any mercenary regiment, mercenary regiment, adventure regiment and even pioneers and demon hunters who rest in the city are obliged to assist in urban defense.
In other words, if the other party's army marches into rofeland, Sean's forces are obliged to assist rofeland in its defense.
”It seems that we came at a bad time.” Sean sighed. ”Even if you want to go now, at least wait until anno wakes up?”
”Prepare the carriage.” William shook his head and began to analyze, ”the rhythm of war will never change according to people's will, and we are not familiar with the style of the other commander. No one knows when he will call, so it's better to leave early than late.”
After a little hesitation, Sean nodded and began to act immediately.
It's just that the purchase of carriages is not going well. Many carriages in the city were purchased by Paro before, and then converted into trucks to buy building materials. At present, there are not many remaining carriages in the city. The rich merchants with carriages are not necessarily greedy for such a small amount of money and sell their travel tools. Only Paro seems to smell something bad. The news of holding a dinner came out at the first time, inviting many businessmen and little nobles in the city, and even said that he wanted to thank Sean's army for its efforts at this critical moment.
The news came true an hour later, and a beautifully made invitation letter was sent to Sean.
However, the place of invitation was not the city Lord's house as Sean guessed, but the courtyard of the first merchant in Loveland.
That's all. What does it have to do with Sean?
After getting the letter, he glanced at it casually and Sean threw it away. For him, the situation of danawi's collar has nothing to do with him. Moreover, count danawi's competitors can invite dead spines, which itself clearly reveals an intelligence - the name of dead spines is a famous name in the dark world, but everyone has heard of it in the dark world, But there are not many people in the world who can find them or ask them to help.
Sean didn't know how to solve the story of Loveland city in the game, but he didn't want to know.
In the game, there are countless players who will never die as the Savior. They are tireless and will not shrink back. If they fail, they will die, but if they win, they can reap a lot of rewards and booty. So even if a game plot eventually evolves into a big scuffle, the most active group of people on the battlefield will still be players, because they themselves have endless potential.
But in this world, there is only one Sean, not a player who will never die.
The night in the city of Loveland seems darker than ever. There is no light of lights and decorations. There is only a luxury house in the south of the city. The four city gates were closed early. Only one north gate was opened. There were no defenders or pedestrians. It looked like a huge mouth.
Outside the city gate, a young housekeeper dressed in black and properly trimmed waited quietly.
Inside the city gate, a silent team moves forward but emits endless murderous spirit.
The young housekeeper looked up and looked at Sean, the leader.
A moment later, the young housekeeper bowed his head first, looked respectful to his predecessors, and said softly, ”the city Lord said that if you are willing to stay, the post of commander in chief of rofeland garrison is yours.”
Sean shook his head. He went up to the young housekeeper, looked at each other carefully, and then said, ”I'm not interested.”
Then there was a silence, and neither of them spoke.
With a slight wave of Sean's hand, the team moved forward silently again. William had asked the way from the residents of Loveland. The place where the elf lived was on the outskirts of a village, not on the mountain or the forest, but very close to the people. It's just that the journey is a little far away. It may take about ten days. It's relatively deep into danavil, but it should be safer. Unlike rofeland, it's easy to get unlucky because it's located at the edge of the territory.
”Loveland has thousands of families, with a resident population of more than 7000 and a floating population of about 5000.” Seeing that the team was about to leave the city, the young housekeeper finally spoke again, ”if the city expansion is successful, this figure is conservatively estimated to at least double, because this is an important city connecting the three surrounding territories and an important supply place for danavi.”
”So?” Sean raised his eyebrows.
