chapter 563, chapter 564(1/2)
Logically speaking, with our 10-man regular military force, this thirty-four-man armed team would not pose any pressure at all even if it were a local army. However, this is an emergency period, and every move must be made with caution, even more so.
What's more, the person in charge of leading the team is Lyman, who claims to be the number one strategist in the mainland.
Lyman turned sideways and said to Conan: "Let all the soldiers stop."
When Conan heard this, he turned around and ordered: "Stop!"
Within a few seconds, the cavalry team that was still jogging gradually stopped their horses and looked at the team in the distance.
Lyman seemed to be saying to himself: "I need someone to come up and ask them who they are."
Alya responded without thinking, "I'll go."
"Wait a minute." Kanites on the side stopped Arya and said with a smile: "How can I trouble the lady with this kind of thing? Trix, are you right?"
Trix nodded upon hearing this.
The scene was silent for a few seconds, and Kanites said again: "How can you trouble a lady with such a thing? Trix, are you right?"
Trix nodded again.
After another few seconds of silence, Kanites said word by word: "Trix, are you right?"
Trix finally came to his senses and yelled: "Damn it! You've been making trouble for a long time and you want me to ask?"
Kanites smiled and said, "You obviously nodded."
Trix shouted: "But you said this, shouldn't you go?"
Kanites stretched out his fingers and picked his nose, and said with a stern expression: "I'm just asking you if you're right, it doesn't represent my opinion. Since you're right, then...hehe."
Trix said angrily: "I knew you had no good intentions if you had to come with me."
Kanites laughed: "That's wrong. I was worried that you would be bullied by the enemy, so I specially applied to come with you to protect you."
Trix shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! No one can beat me in the water. If I'm not in the water, there are so many people here. Do I need your protection?"
Lyman listened to the quarrel between the two and said displeasedly: "Stop talking nonsense! If neither of you are willing to go, I will let someone else go!"
Being scolded by Lyman, Kanites and Trix first glanced at each other and said in unison: "Let's go together?" After being stunned for a moment, they both said in unison: "Let's go?"
After being stunned again, they urged the horses under their crotches to run towards the team in unison.
After a while, both Carnites and Trix came back galloping, followed by another.
After Canites returned to the team, he shouted: "Who do you think is back?" Then he tilted his body, revealing the man behind him.
Swok!
The mother is the niece of Haraus, and the father is the lord of Kujit. He once wandered and became a bandit leader, and finally surrendered to Xie Feng's Swalk.
With a smile on his face, Swalk said in surprise: "I didn't expect to meet you all on the road!"
Except for Trix and Kanites, no one present knew Swock, so Lyman asked: "Who is he?"
After Kanites told the story of Swalk, he said: "Last time Charlotte led troops to besiege Mallaig Castle, Swalk got separated from us during the retreat. I didn't expect to meet us here!"
Lyman thought that since both Kanites and Trix knew this person, it meant that his identity was correct. Then there should be no hostility in that team. But just to be on the safe side, Lyman asked: "Who is that team?"
Naturally, Swock didn't recognize Lyman and looked at Kanites with doubtful eyes.
Kanites immediately explained: "He is Xie Feng's military advisor Lehmann. The original Mr. Dante retired after retreating from Mallag Fort. This Mr. Lehmann is Mr. Dante's junior brother."
Swock was relieved and said to Lyman: "Hello!"
Lyman nodded slightly, and then asked: "Which team is it?"
Swock said: "Oh, here's the thing. Since the fall of Mallagur Castle, I have been cautiously avoiding Swadia's tracking, and then I tried to find Xie Feng. However, the castle is gone, and Xie Feng
There was no fixed base, and I couldn't find him. I could only follow the rumors. After hearing where Xie Feng appeared, I rushed to find him, but I was always a step slower. Then I thought, Xie Feng is following
King Vaegia has a lot of connections, so I might be able to wait there. But since I don’t have any identity documents, the guards are unwilling to help me pass the news or anything - you should also know the guards at Korau Castle.
Morality, right? Of course, I’m not saying that it’s bad for them to do this, but it’s just more troublesome when you really need to find someone..."
Seeing that Swock started talking about irrelevant things, Lyman interrupted: "Let's talk about the important points."
Si Walker also realized: "Oh, yes, the point. Later, I heard that a swearing-in ceremony would be held today, so I planned to walk around to kill time, and then come back to meet Xie Feng today. Then, everywhere I went
While walking around, I met an adventure team called the 'Snow Leopards', they were -" As he spoke, Swalk pointed at the armed team behind him.
Swock continued: "What a coincidence, it turns out that the two captains of the Snow Leopard Adventure Team also met Xie Feng, and the vice-captain was Xie Feng's classmate at the training ground. They learned that Xie Feng was raising troops to fight against Swadia.
After receiving the news, I also had the same feelings, but I was forced to never see Xie Feng. So I followed them to venture around, and then returned to Kulau to see Xie Feng during the swearing-in meeting - no, we came back in a hurry.
It’s just that we took on a commission and was delayed a little bit, so we came back a little late... Is the swearing-in meeting over?"
Lyman did not answer Swock's question, but simply asked: "Claims to be Xie Feng's old friend? Is there any evidence?"
Swock thought for a moment, then said slightly embarrassed: "No..."
Lyman smiled contemptuously and said: "Then why don't you doubt whether it is true? Now Xie Feng is Charlotte's number one opponent. There may be many killers and bounties sent to capture Xie Feng's head."
Swock said anxiously: "I have been with them for a while, and I believe they are definitely not bad people!"
Lyman laughed and said: "I don't think bad people will have their badness written all over their faces."
Swock said: "It's true, just let Xie Feng confront the vice-captain..."
Lyman said with a disapproving smile: "If I were Charlotte, I would just find a hundred people to come to the door every day claiming to be Xie Feng's old friend, and confront Xie Feng about his identity. In that way, Xie Feng would be annoyed to death in just a few weeks.
Dead. This trick is probably more convenient and trouble-free than my previous 'four elements are missing one' trick."
"Wait a minute." At this time, Arya suddenly asked Swalk: "You said the name of that adventure team is 'Snow Leopard'?"
Swock nodded and said, "Yes."
Arya asked: "What are the names of the two captains?"
Swock said: "Manaeus and Charlie."
Alya said to herself: "That should be good..."
Lyman turned around and asked, "Oh? Do you know them?"
Arlia nodded and said: "Yes. When the arsenal was first opened, when Xie Feng and I went to Kurao to purchase pig iron, we met them once in the tavern in Kurao - I also witnessed Xie Feng's acquaintance.
Aetherrod's process. Aetherrod and Charlie had a wonderful archery competition that night."
Lyman said: "So, it should be no problem for you to confront me?"
Arlia thought for a while and said: "We only met once, and I can only remember the appearance as familiar. Looking back, it's a bit ridiculous. I was still a woman disguised as a man at that time. Maybe they will be surprised. But if we check
If you look at the scene at that time, you will definitely be able to tell the authenticity."
After Lyman thought for a while, he said to Swock: "Then, let the man named Charlie come over to confront Captain Arlia."
Swock rode towards the adventuring party and soon brought back a person.
The man had long straight blond hair hanging casually on his back. He was handsome and had a delicate long bow hanging on his back. His eyes were sharp and bright, and he seemed to be able to discern everything clearly.
As soon as she saw Charlie, Alya laughed and said: "Ah ha, there is no need to say 'familiar' now, I recognized him directly, you are that Charlie!"
Kanites on the side glanced at Charlie, then at Alya, and sighed: "Surely, women are only more impressed by handsome guys?"
Seeing that Alya seemed to recognize him, Charlie asked: "Sorry, who are you?"
Alya told the whole story.
Charlie smiled and said: "I see. So, Xie Feng has already led a large force to leave Kulau?"
Arya nodded and said: "Yes. And we have to rush to the border between the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Swadia to check the situation."
Charlie said: "Since we have met anyway, why not let our snow leopard adventure team go with you? I believe that more people will be more powerful."
Alya was embarrassed to agree, so she had to turn her head and look at Lyman.
At this time, Lyman was able to confirm that the other party was indeed Xie Feng's old friend, and the relationship between enemy and friend was already clear, so he said: "Okay, but I have one condition - you must obey my command along the way."
Charlie said: "No problem! The Snow Leopard Adventure Team is at your disposal!"
…
After the team merged with more than thirty people from the Snow Leopard Adventure Team, they continued to set off.
Conan asked: "By the way, Mr. Lyman, what did you say before that I still lack a wise vision for the actual situation?"
Lyman said: "You initially guessed that I was going to go, or that I should go to Rudaburg, right?"
Conan said: "Yes, isn't it? The situation in Rudaburg is obviously more critical than that in Jelborg Fort."
Lyman said: "Because of the crisis, it would be useless for us to go there - we are all cavalry, and based on the scout's report, it is estimated that we have already fought on the city by the time we arrived.
It can't help at all. As you said, Jelborg Fort is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Most of the enemy troops are still trying to climb the city wall. If we can rush over and let the cavalry wash away the soldiers below the city, we can
We have achieved good results. Therefore, in terms of profit alone, it is the best choice for us to go to Fort Jelborg."
Conan nodded and said: "This is indeed good...but after the fall of Ruda Fort, the soldiers of Swadia may immediately send troops to the north again, right? Vaye Zeji is not far from Ruda Fort. In case they go to attack Wa Yezeji
If Ye Zeji is dead, wouldn’t Xie Feng’s factory be in danger?”
Lyman said: "Have you observed the scout who came from Rudaburg?"
Conan was stunned and asked, "What happened to him?"
