Lord of War

v2 Chapter 34: Surprise

  Heavy rain started under the sky.

  The rain is amazing, and the rising water vapor obscures the sky. The whole Boulder and the surrounding area of ​​tens of kilometers are plunged into a hazy world, and the visibility is not even ten meters.

  The agave collar, as the territory of the Boulder family, the vastness of this territory is well-deserved first in the entire Kingdom of Darbion, even the direct territories of the royal family cannot compare with it. But no one in the entire Kingdom of Darbion would be envious and jealous of the Boulder family’s possession of such a territory. The reason is simple. The entire tequila collar is composed of one duchy, two marquis and five earls. The merger means that the Boulder family has at least one field duke, two field marquis, and five field earls. In this world where even a single viscount can already establish a family, the Boulder family, which has so many noble titles and titles, has not separated because of this. It must be said that this is an incredible thing, of course. It also means that the influence of the Boulder family in the kingdom of Darbion is extremely terrible.

  As the most proud agave collar of the Boulder family, this city named after the Boulder family is undoubtedly the core of the entire Boulder family.

  After seven expansions, Boulder City is now a huge city that can accommodate more than 300,000 residents. This city is not only the economic center of the entire Tequila Collar, but also one of the few trading cities in the entire Kingdom of Darbion, and almost every year trade taxes can reach millions.

  The innermost circle of this huge city has been completely transformed into a fortress. This is the political center of the Boulder family. All children with the Boulder surname will live here until the age of sixteen. After that, they will be assessed and assessed. Only those with talents, talents or pass the assessment Only the teenagers can continue to live in this fortress, and once they fail the assessment, they can only leave the fortress to seek development on their own, and the Boulder family will no longer provide any material support free of charge.

  The downpour seems to show no signs of stopping at all.

  In this kind of weather, naturally no one will take to the streets, so there will be no business. Except for the hotels, even the pubs in Boulder City are closed. But in this kind of weather, there will be some people who are nervously busy.

  Sivel is a business leader in the Eastern Capital Wolf Chamber of Commerce.

  This is a large chamber of commerce active in the southeastern part of the Marvel Continent. It is headquartered in the Zenus Empire. Its trade scope is centered on the Zenus Empire and radiates to the surrounding kingdoms and principalities.

  Sivel is over half a hundred years old this year. As an ordinary person, his appearance looks older than his actual age. As a veteran business leader who joined the East Capital Wolf Chamber of Commerce when it was established, it is impossible for Sivir to be responsible for the Boulder family’s trade route. It’s just that the fortunes are not good, because usually offends more people, plus the previous shipment. An error caused the Chamber of Commerce to lose a lot of money, so Sivir was sent here on the grounds of "whether he was capable enough".

"Quick!" Although Syville is over half a hundred years old, his aura is becoming more and more condensed. At this moment, his voice actually covers the roar of the rainstorm, "Move faster! Fasten the light rope, one by one, pay attention to the truck. The tarpaulin on the top, some goods in it can’t get wet!... It’s all right after entering the city, everyone moves faster, and I invite you to drink to warm everyone up in the evening."

  Sivir’s words spread far away in the heavy rain, which made the caravan members who were advancing through the rain feel excited. Especially those mercenaries, who can save a sum of money, this kind of good thing is not very common, so even if they start to help, this makes the caravan's forward speed a lot faster.

   Sivir stretched out his hand and wiped his face, cursing: "This **** ghost weather."

"Hey, my lord, you don't know." Hearing Silvier's voice, a caravan member who seemed to be a little older said with a smile, "Every year at the end of the rainy season at the end of summer, there will be heavy rains in the Tequila Collar. The coming, this is also one of the main reasons for the fertility of this land.... At least the harvest at the autumn harvest every year is very good, but the scale of the heavy rain this year is indeed a little bigger."

  Sieville screamed, he just came to the tequila collar soon, and many things are not clear. However, it is rare for anyone to know this at the moment, so Sivir asked humbly, seeming to be flattered by the good attitude of the business leader, the member who was questioned looked very frightened, but he After all, he has some experience and experience, so he is no stranger to Syville's problems.

  At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes.

  Sivel turned his head in surprise, and there is such a loud sound of horseshoes in this torrential rain. What kind of scale should this be?

  However, when this team of cavalry appeared in Sivir’s line of sight, he realized that this team of cavalry had only a dozen cavalry, and they were all light cavalry. However, the sharp-eyed Sivir also found that when this team of light cavalry was running, their aura was very awe-inspiring, and the formation was also very unified. A team like this was barely able to reach elites even in the Chenas Empire. The ranks.

"It's a private soldier of the Boulder family, the tequila cavalry unit." Seeing Sivir's gaze, the caravan member next to him explained wisely, "I heard that this cavalry unit is only three thousand people. However, although they are light cavalry units, they are all trained according to the training scale of heavy cavalry. Back then, this unit was one of the few units in the kingdom that could block the Marquis of Tonis on the frontal battlefield.... It is said that the current Red Cross The commander of the cavalry regiment was once the commander of this agave cavalry regiment. It seems that the cavalry unit he trained is very powerful, so he can become the head of the Red Cross Cavalry regiment."

   "This unit seems to be in a hurry."

   "Probably because of the lord who led Panda."

   "Isn't Panda collar abandoned?"

"Hey, the Marquis of Tonys in the Principality of Ryan didn't know what he thought. He sent a lord to manage the Pandan collar. As a result, there hasn't been much development over there. This lord has a contradiction with the Mordge collar. It seems that they are threatening to flatten the Maudge collar. No, for the sake of their reputation, the Boulder family certainly has to put on a posture. Some time ago, the private troops in the territory were sent out except for the Tequila Cavalry Regiment. , I am going to give a severe lesson to that lord.... This battle, I don’t think there is any suspense. Can a new lord win the private army of the Boulder family? That is 20,000 people. The mixed corps."

  Sivir did not know much about the war, but after hearing these words, he had some doubts about the appearance of the agave cavalry. He could see that this cavalry unit was really anxious, especially the leader of the knight. His aura was too strong. The rainstorm falling in the sky couldn't reach him at all, as if there was something around his body. The invisible protective cover blocked the rain.

  This is a method only available to the gold-level powerhouse!

  Despite the heavy rain, the gates of Boulder City were not closed. According to the rules, horses were not allowed in the city. However, this team of tequila cavalry entered directly on horseback and did not mean to dismount.

  However, when the soldiers in charge of the city defense saw these tequila cavalry steps on the road paved with red bricks in the city, everyone's faces were surprised. This road is a private military road owned by the Boulder family. You can only ride horses on this road when there is an emergency military situation. However, except for the cavalry when the war with the Principality of Lane broke out a few years ago, after the cavalry set foot on this road, before and after Nothing like this has happened in decades.

  Is there another war about to break out?

When the agave cavalry arrived at the central fortress of Boulder City, the mounts under the hips of this group of agave cavalry were obviously no longer good, but at this time no one had time to pay attention to these, because the leading knight quickly He was summoned to the large conference hall.

  Standing in the meeting hall, the knight's face was a little pale, and his figure was a little shaky. This was because the fighting energy in his body was consumed too violently. But in fact, he really can't let the rain get wet, otherwise the letter he put in his arms will naturally be soaked by the rainstorm, and the content of the letter will not be preserved.

  After seeing the old Duke Hatch, the knight took off his light armor without hesitation, took out the letter in his arms, and handed it to the Duke who seemed to be a lot more emaciated than before. After the Duke accepted the letter, he immediately opened it and couldn't wait to open it. He only glanced at the content on it, and the whole person was immediately stunned, his expression a little unbelievable.

"died?"

"Yes.... All six tequila black guards were also killed." The knight nodded, "At that time, we all felt the aura of powerful power, so we had set off immediately, but it was about a distance from the border of the tequila collar. For nearly half a day, when we arrived, the other party had already robbed Master Elsie, so we immediately launched the search circle, and finally only found the body of the Tequila Black Guard."

   "Do you know who did it?"

  "The opponent's technique is very sophisticated, and the tail is also very clean. All thieves have been eliminated, and there is no survival."

The old Duke Hatch's face turned ugly, and then he suddenly thought of something, and shouted: "Where is Yuki now? Use magic communication to tell him immediately, let him come back to me immediately! Also, notify immediately Ronnis and the others, let them stop their actions! At the same time, they ordered the troops not to go to Mordge to lead them, and return immediately!... It must be the handwriting of the Marquis of Tonis that can calculate everything so accurately!... Damn, What on earth is there in Modge worthy of the devil's attention!?"

   "But my lord...we and Lonnis do not have a magic communication tool."

Duke Hatch was taken aback for a moment, and then angrily said: "Then find a way! In any case, you can't let them conflict with Sean!" After thinking about it, it seemed that he didn't feel safe, and he immediately said: "And The Marquis of Tonis asks for peace!"

   "But Master Elsie is no longer in our hands."

   "Does the peace talks still need Elsie!? What do I do to raise your staff! Give me a plan immediately before tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

  Several staff members previously relied on by the Old Hatch Duke responded with a little horror. They had never seen Old Hatch so angry.
