Chapter 49 Brandon
Several noble ladies were persuaded by Rennes. They were indeed not afraid of fighting and were very brave, but they also knew the particularity of their identities. As early-class professionals, the chances of winning against the sea clan army are not high. Once they fall into the hands of the other party and are taken as hostages, their respective families will fall into a passive position.
The motives of the sea clans are unknown, so they cannot take risks.
"Ren, Fernande, please ask you!" Charlotte said to him, "If you can save people, meet in the barren land. If you can't do anything, you can escape yourself!"
"Be careful!" said the other four noble ladies at the same time.
"Don't worry! You guys go quickly!" Renn quickly ran outside the hotel, took off the carriage from No. 1, rode and left from a place where the water level was not deep, locked the mayor's house through the virtual map, and moved forward quickly.
Charlotte led the team downstairs to find the boss's wife and daughter, and asked them to open the back door and quickly escape.
Their escorts and protectors fought for a long time in front of the sea clan army and were outnumbered. Since they could not resist the sea clan, some people stood in front and prevented the other party from approaching the hotel. The remaining ones quickly retreated and prepared to escort several ladies to escape from the town of Glory, without caring about the issue of their identity being exposed.
Charlotte's team led the boss's wife and daughter, as well as some businessmen living in hotels to escape from the back door. They were surprised to see the tribesmen who appeared nearby and came to protect their side.
I didn't have time to ask questions, slowly figure out the reason why they appeared here, first meet up and escape to the north exit of Zhenbei as quickly as possible.
Renn rode No. 1 and ran to the mayor's house. Along the way, he saw soldiers in the town. Adventurers fought fiercely with the sea clans, arrows everywhere, magic intertwined, and explosions were bursting. He tried to avoid the battlefield so as not to get involved.
Halfway through the way, a group of sea soldiers in front came by the waves and ran into each other head-on.
He wanted to turn around and avoid it, but he took a detour from the side, but found that there were also sea soldiers on both sides, and they had already attacked the town.
Although there are no hostile red dots on the virtual map, you will still be worried when facing such a situation.
The general of the sea clan opposite discovered Rennes, raised his right hand and asked the soldiers to stop, and went forward to ask: "Is Mr. Rennes ahead?"
The other party actually called out his name, and Ren was surprised: "Do you know me?"
The general of the sea clan showed joy and quickly came to Renn to salute respectfully: "It's indeed Lord Renn. It's such an honor to see you here! You saved Your Highness the Princess and are the benefactor of our sea clan! Your Highness shows your appearance to all the sea clans through magic crystals, and orders us to hear your call at any time and must show up to help."
"So that's it!" Renn nodded and asked, "Are you the chief general of this army?"
"Back to Lord Rennes, I am Brandon, the general of the Sea Clan guard, and I have always served His Highness the Prince!"
"So it's Austin's subordinate!" Renn asked, "Can I give me face and retreat temporarily? I don't want to be involved in trouble."
"This..." Brandon looked embarrassed, "His Excellency Rennes, it is logical that I should not refuse your request. But we cannot retreat in this battle, we must occupy the town of Glory!"
"Why? Are you sea tribes ready to declare war on the Kingdom of South Gris?"
Brandon quickly shook his head: "Of course not! Your Excellency Rennes, we have no choice but to force it. The sea tribe does not want to provoke wars or be enemies with humans, but there are evil human nobles in Storm City who imprison our tribe members and are ready to sell or give them out to gain personal gain! Those tribe members are kept in fish tanks as pets, completely lose their self-esteem, and treat them as the lowest animals. If it were yours, can you turn a blind eye to your companions when treated like this?"
"Is there such a thing?!" Renn was quite surprised.
"You are the benefactor of the Sea Clan, of course we dare not deceive you!" Brandon replied, "We decided to capture the town of Glory, that is, we must use the townsmen as hostages and use this town as bargaining chips to negotiate with the Lord of Storm City to exchange for our tribe! If we retreat tonight, Storm City will be prepared for it. It will be difficult to succeed next time, and may even be angry and hurt our tribesmen, so we cannot agree to your request. Please understand! In addition, we will try our best to cooperate with any requests you have."
Renn understood, so it turned out to be like this: "I can understand you, but the nobles of Storm City will compromise for these insignificant glory townsmen? What if the other party doesn't care about the life and death of the civilians, and execute your tribe members on this ground and start a war directly, how will it end?"
"I have received exact information. Peyton Gimenez, Brady, Barrett, Asimu, and elite members of the Cervantes clan emblem appeared in the town. They will only appear near important figures. This means that there are big figures of these families in the town. As long as they are caught, the five major families can only put pressure on the Lord of Storm City to solve this matter as soon as possible. My soldiers have surrounded all the exits of the town, and no one can escape. This time I will definitely win!"
It turned out that the sea clan already knew that Charlotte and the others were in the town. Once these noble ladies were arrested, the five major families would certainly put pressure on the city lord in order to save people. Baron Andrew must be related to this matter and should not be able to escape, which is a good thing for him!
A thought suddenly emerged in my mind, why not take this opportunity to operate and help rescue other captured sea tribes and deepen their relationship with them? At the same time, I gained the favor of several noble ladies and established certain connections with the five major families. In the future, I can gain a firm foothold in Storm City and excluded a lot of troubles.
We can also use this incident to defeat Baron Andrew and eliminate hidden dangers.
Thinking of this, he asked Brandon: "The escorts and protectors of the five major families are not simple. They want to escort big men to break through. Can you really stop them?"
Brandon answered affirmatively: "Those are strong people, they are indeed powerful! But I also led elites of the sea clan, ambushing at every critical intersection. This army is not a problem to attack the fortress, and no one can escape!"
Ren nodded after hearing this, thought for a while and said to him, "General Brandon, I'll tell you the truth! The noble members who appeared here are Charlotte Gimenez, Christine Brady, Cara Barrett, Linda Asimum and Monica Cervantes. These five noble ladies played their adventure games during the holidays and happened to be in the town of Glory. Their weight is indeed enough to be hostages and let the five major families pay attention to it. However, by your own operations, it may also anger the five major families. Not only will they not be able to do what they want, they may even further deteriorate the relationship between humans and the sea tribes and cause greater conflicts!"
"This plan is indeed risky. We have no choice in order to save the Hui people!"
"I have a proposal," said Ren, "You Hai Clan took hostages and went directly to negotiate with Storm City. The two sides are prone to conflicts in the negotiations. You can find a third party that has nothing to do with this matter to negotiate on behalf of others to avoid the conflicts intensification!"
