Lord of War

"When are we leaving?"

William went straight to the point.

"Urgent?" Sean was a little puzzled, not understanding why William was so nervous.

"Loveland's garrison is a new army." William said, "and the other party sent a veteran. The two sides are not at the same level at all. It's okay to have an excellent commander, but this is exactly what Loveland lacks. Yes... If the opposing commander finds out that Loveland's defense is so weak, what do you think they will do?"

Hearing William's guess, Sean immediately understood.

An army without a banner or designation is a bandit army in the eyes of the world. Bandit troops appear from time to time in territories with poor law and order. They burn, kill and loot all kinds of crimes. Of course, there are also people who are forced to do this, but most of them are not good things in people's eyes. The bandit army roamed around, never fixed in one place to hunt.

Even if this "bandit army" is banned by order, it has the quality of a regular army, and even everyone knows which nobleman's private army this "bandit army" is, but there is no actual and conclusive evidence, no one will bring this matter to the table In other words, they are directly treated as bandits and robbers. The territory that has been robbed can only be considered unlucky. Of course, if you are not convinced, you can also get such a bandit army to plunder the other party's territory.

If you don't break it, you don't know it. This is the favorite unspoken rule among nobles.

A fig leaf.

It is not uncommon for bandits to attack a city, or even burn a city down with a single fire. If that army knew how weak the defense of Loveland City was, they would definitely attack without saying a word and destroy a city in a competitor's territory. This is what any noble would like to do most. At least you will feel refreshed physically and mentally.

And according to the regulations on the Miracle Continent, once encountering this kind of non-combat siege, any mercenary group, mercenary group, adventure group, or even pioneers and demon hunters who are resting in the city are obliged to assist the city defense.

In other words, if the opponent's army marches towards Loveland City, Sean's troops are obliged to assist Loveland City in its defense.

"It seems that we came at a really bad time." Sean sighed, "Even if we want to leave now, at least we have to wait until An Nuo wakes up, right?"

"Prepare the carriage." William shook his head, and then began to analyze, "The rhythm of war never changes according to human will, and we are not familiar with the style of the opposing commander, and no one knows when he will come, so Better to go early than late."

After a little hesitation, Sean nodded and immediately started to act.

It's just that the purchase of carriages is not going very smoothly. Many carriages in the city have been purchased by Paro before, and then converted into trucks to buy building materials. At this moment, there are not many carriages left in the city. And those rich businessmen with carriages may not be greedy for such a small amount of money, so they sold their travel tools. Only Paro seemed to smell something bad, and it was reported that a dinner party was going to be held at the first time According to the news, many merchants and nobles in the city were invited, and they even stated that they wanted to thank Xiao En's troops for their efforts at this critical moment.

And this news, one hour after it was spread, became a fact, and a beautifully crafted invitation letter was delivered to Sean.

However, the location of the invitation was not the City Lord's Mansion as Xiao En had guessed, but the courtyard of the No. 1 wealthy merchant in Loveland City.

just these,

What are you doing with Sean?

After getting the letter, he glanced at it casually, and Sean threw the letter away. For him, the situation in Danaviland has nothing to do with him at all, and Earl Dunavi's competitor was able to invite Deaththorn, which in itself clearly reveals a piece of information - the deaththorn The name is very famous in the dark world, but everyone in the dark world has heard of this name, but there are not many people in this world who can find them or ask them to help.

Sean didn't know how the plot of Loveland City was solved in the game, but he didn't want to know either.

In the game, countless players who will never die play the role of saviors. They are tireless and will not shrink back. If they fail, they will die, but if they win, they can get a lot of rewards and loot. So even if a game plot eventually turns into a big melee, 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.

Tonight in Loveland City seems to be darker than before, without lights and festoons, only a mansion in the south of the city is brightly lit. However, the four city gates were closed early, and only one north gate was opened. There were no guards and no pedestrians. It looked lonely like a huge mouth.

Outside the city gate, a well-trimmed young butler in black was quietly waiting.

Inside the city gate, a team marched silently but exuded endless murderous aura.

The young butler raised his head and met the leader Sean's eyes.

After a while, the young steward bowed his head first, and said softly, with an air of respect for his seniors, "My lord said, if you are willing to stay, the position of commander-in-chief of Loveland's garrison is yours."

Shawn shook his head, he walked up to the young butler, looked at him very carefully, and then said, "I'm not interested."

After that, there was a moment of silence, neither of them spoke.

With a slight wave of Sean's hand, the team moved forward again in silence. William had already asked the way from the residents of Loveland. The place where the elf lived was on the outskirts of a village. The backing is not against the forest, but very close to the people. It's just that the journey is a little longer, and it takes about ten days or so. It's relatively deep into the Danaville Territory, but it's also safer because it's not like Loveland, because it's located on the edge of the territory, so it's also It's easier to be unlucky.

"Lovelan has thousands of households, with a permanent population of more than 7,000 and a floating population of around 5,000." Seeing that the team was about to leave the city, the young butler finally spoke again, "If the city expansion is successful, this number should be conservatively estimated at least It will double again, because this is an important city connecting the three surrounding territories, and it is also an important supply point for the Danaville Territory."

"So?" Sean raised his eyebrows.

"I hope you can think about it for the people who live here."

Sean was silent for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "I'm not a savior, nor a hero, I'm just an ordinary person."

The young butler was stunned.

These days, doesn't everyone want to be the savior and hero who can turn the tide? Why does this person in front of him say that he is not a savior and a hero?

He has already heard about what Xiao En did in the Temple of the Goddess of Victory, so he came here to wait tonight. In the eyes of the young housekeeper, a passionate man like Xiao En, who is affectionate and righteous, is the most easily agitated, and he will definitely be desperate for some kind of righteousness, so he actually prepared two sets of arguments. The first plan is naturally to promise some benefits. If it doesn’t work, he will use the rhetoric of righteousness and the people to suppress people. He is not afraid of Xiao En’s refusal. Ask Sean to help out a little.

However, Sean's direct statement "I'm not the savior" completely disrupted his plans and words.

He also only had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

"Actually, you are the son of Sir Paro, right?" Sean looked at the young butler carefully, and suddenly laughed as if he had discovered some secret.

"Yes." In the young butler's eyes, there was no embarrassment at all, and he looked very calm.

"Then all these actions are also your handwriting?"

The news of the banquet was spread, the rich merchants were invited, and the residents of the city were allowed to rest today. All this was to appease the possible panic among the residents of the entire city. Afterwards, the three city gates were closed early, and only one was opened far away from the banquet venue. The farthest north city gate is naturally to prevent anyone from seeing Xiao En's large army leave, but even if someone sees it, it doesn't matter, because at this moment the young butler is standing here talking to Sean.

For the ignorant civilians, sometimes a little bit of speculation and proper control of speech is enough to form a very subtle public opinion.

After thinking about it, Sean laughed again: "Then you should have sent someone to ask for help early in the morning?"

"Yes." The young steward still did not deny it, "When I received that threatening letter, I had already done so. The lord's large army will arrive in five days at the latest."

Sean now knows how those players solved the plot in the game. It turned out to be a simple task of assisting in defending the city.

"So, in fact, from the very beginning, you have already made many preparations?" Sean was a little interested in this young butler. He is also a rare internal affairs talent, at least as an aide, it is definitely enough. "So you're just pretending to be here now? You really don't care if you can really keep me?"

"No, I really hope that you can stay." The butler shook his head, "Because if you can stay, Loveland's damage will be reduced a lot, which is also very beneficial to our future development. So I It is really sincere to ask you to stay and help."

The young butler spoke very sincerely, and his eyes were unpretentious and sincere, but Xiao En shook his head coldly: "I'm not the savior." At the end, he asked again: "What's your name?"

"Solomon von Romis."

"It really fits your name." Sean smiled slightly.

He knew more or less the ancient language, so he also knew the meaning of Solomon being the son of wisdom. And the full name of this name means "the wise son of the Romis family." Although the tone is very loud, but looking at the arrangements and actions of this Solomon, at least one can know that this is not an idiot, but a person with real talents. . It's a pity that Sean has never heard of his name in the game before. If he had heard of it earlier, I'm afraid he would bring more people to Danaville.

It's just that this world is not a game, so I didn't know it earlier. Even though Sean knows a lot about the future trends of this world, he also doesn't know many details hidden in this world.

Solomon has tried his best to keep Sean, but unfortunately, he failed.

And tomorrow, a new news will start to spread in Loveland City: an unknown mercenary group ventured to break through the enemy line to seek help from Lord Danavi, and the Lord's army will arrive in a few days. Sean didn't feel too unhappy about being used as a pawn once. He knew that in this world, at least in his mind, there would be one more name of those talented geniuses.

When Xiao En caught up with the large army and reunited, the door of a carriage was opened.

William just lay there, this guy would never sit if he could lie down, so Sean saw this irritating guy just casually lying on the floor of the carriage. ", opened the door to chat with Sean, and didn't even intend to invite Sean to sit in for a while. If he could, Sean really wanted to step on this guy's face and trample him hard.

"What did you say to that guy?" William couldn't help asking curiously as the chat drew to a close.

"I'm not the savior." This was the third time Sean said this tonight.

As for William, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and then broke out into a burst of hearty and comfortable laughter.

"What's wrong?" Sean looked puzzled.

"No, nothing." William shook his head, "I just wanted to laugh."

Sean rolled his eyes.

But he didn't know that there was still a word in William's heart: "It's my honor to be able to follow a lord like you."...(To be continued)【】If you like my text Update, you are welcome to click like or reply with fifteen words, your support is my biggest motivation. ) Bring the cutest, purest and most loving Xiaoyi Leng Yihan丨 Bring good friends @玄天小A
