Anduin was slightly startled: "Surrender to me?"
Why does this sound so weird?
According to common sense, shouldn't he surrender to his master Sean?
But Anduin didn't think too much and took the document handed over by the envoy.
The entire surrender document is 5 pages long.
The document details the crimes committed by the River family in attacking Reach Town twice, Marquis River's repentance for his crimes, and his sincere desire to surrender and join Anduin's command.
Anduin didn't quite understand.
After reading the document, he still didn't quite understand why the Marquis of Rivers wanted to surrender to him by name. Anyway, he must have been uneasy and well-intentioned.
So Anduin smiled and walked towards the messenger.
"Lord Anduin." The messenger didn't know why Anduin came to him, so he could only bow his head tremblingly and salute.
Anduin put his right hand on the messenger's forehead and said: "Don't be nervous, relax."
"ah?"
The young envoy was startled. What is Lord Anduin doing? He is a man! Does he want to obey directly? Or is he going to resist symbolically?
The messenger was still thinking wildly with a fever on his face, and Anduin's [Thought Stealing] over there had been completed.
The messenger's thinking was very complicated, but he still extracted an important piece of information:
The Marquis of Rivers personally told the envoy that he must hand over the surrender documents to him before Sean arrived at Port Kapur.
Combined with the content written in the surrender document, the answer is already obvious. This is the Marquis of River's plan to alienate him!
A sneer curled up at the corner of Anduin's mouth.
However, he remained calm: "Okay, I have received the surrender document. You have a good rest today and return to Yohn City tomorrow to tell the Marquis of River that I will go to Yohn City in person to accept his surrender."
"Understood...understood." The messenger replied breathlessly.
Anduin waved his hand and ordered the guards to take the envoy down.
.
After the messenger left, Anduin quickly rushed to the wine cellar of Sean's residence in Port Capul and instilled the power of the Holy Light into the teleportation circle.
After a few minutes, a light blue [Portal] with gold edges appeared on the teleportation circle, and Anduin walked in without any hesitation.
On the other side of the [Portal] is the command room of the "Laine".
Before Anduin could stand still after being teleported, Sean pulled him up and walked towards the door: "Anduin, you came just in time! We are grilling fish on the deck, Ju Xiang!"
"Oh? Grilled fish? What is grilled this time?" Anduin moved his index finger.
Sean smiled and said, "It's a silver-grade hairtail fish with lightning properties caught from the deep sea. When you eat it, there's a crackling arc of electricity in your mouth. It's so exciting!"
"Really? I want to have a taste too!" Anduin's eyes lit up.
At this time, the two of them had arrived on the deck, and Windsor was playing with the barbecue grill.
This silver-grade hairtail was so huge that they used three barbecue grills to grill the hairtail, and there were still dozens of kilograms of fish meat left.
Seeing Anduin coming, Windsor immediately greeted him: "Hey! It's Anduin! Why do you have time to come here? According to our ship's speed, we can return to Capul Port in three days at most.
Already."
Anduin was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he was not here to eat grilled fish, but that he had something important to say.
But before he opened his mouth, Sean had already stuffed a skewer of grilled fish into his hand: "It's okay, we can talk while eating."
"Okay." Anduin took the grilled fish and took a bite. It was charred on the outside, tender on the inside, juicy and juicy, and there were crackling arcs in the meat. It really tasted delicious.
"It's delicious! It's so delicious!" Anduin was full of praise as he felt the pleasure (pain) of being shocked.
"If it's delicious, just eat more." Sean's smile was like a kind old father: "When you go back later, you can give Kate a few skewers to try. She probably has never eaten such delicious roasted food.
Fish... By the way, Anduin, why are you coming to us this time?"
"That's it." Anduin swallowed the grilled fish and said, "The Marquis of the River has announced his surrender!"
"What?!" Sean and Windsor were so surprised that the grilled fish in their hands almost fell on the deck.
Windsor felt incredible: "The River family surrendered? I originally thought that old boy wanted to hold on for a while!"
Sean felt something was wrong: "That's not right! Some time ago, Thor was hanging around the city of Yoen to prevent the River Family from escaping. They didn't surrender at that time? Why are they suddenly thinking of surrendering now? Could it be that they have another chance?
What conspiracy?"
Anduin freed his left hand and gave Sean a thumbs up:
"My lord, you are so smart! Their surrender has a hidden purpose."
Anduin told Sean and Windsor his analysis that "the Marquis of the River deliberately alienated them", and at the same time took out the "surrender document" and handed it to Sean.
Sean took the "surrender document" and read it in detail, then handed the document to Windsor, nodded and said:
"Anduin, what you said makes sense. I didn't expect the River family to be in such a state of decline that they would still engage in such conspiracy!"
But Sean also had to admit that Marquis River's plan was really good.
If Anduin had not been summoned by him, but replaced by a more ambitious native, such as Butler Henry, he might have succeeded.
After all, no one can say no to power.
But they actually used this trick on Anduin. It can only be said that the Marquis of Rivers misjudged the person and was as stupid as they were when they instigated Khadgar's rebellion.
"Let's do this, Anduin, we can use the trick...(600 words omitted)..." Sean explained his solution in detail.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Anduin nodded.
In the next period of time, the three of them added some details to the plan while eating grilled fish.
After eating grilled fish, Sean took the two of them to the command room and summoned some "new faces".
These "new faces" refer to [Tauren Warrior], [Wizard Apprentice], [Light Element] and other combat-type followers. When the time comes, they will follow Anduin to the city of Yonn.
The reason for doing this was mainly to show that "Anduin also has a group of cronies around him" and avoid making the Marquis of Rivers suspicious.
Anduin picked up the grilled fish package Windsor handed him and said goodbye to Sean:
"Sir, I will leave first, please take care of yourself!"
"Goodbye, Anduin. May the wind guide your way forward." Sean and Anduin waved goodbye.
.
Anduin returned to Capulport with these "new faces".
He first gave half of the dozen kilograms of grilled fish to Kate, and kept the rest for midnight snack.
Chapter completed!
