Jarant's hair was messy and his clothes were torn, as if he had been through a fierce battle. There was also a sharp wound on his arm, and after a brief treatment, he came to meet Byron and the others. "Uncle Jarant
!” Joshua hugged Jalant excitedly.
His eyes were filled with joy, "I thought you were caught by those bad guys."
"That guy Botton is really hard to deal with, but fortunately I successfully escaped before the arrival of Acoberdo's reinforcements."
"That's good."
Byron walked up and patted his shoulder. "Now Palsa will definitely set up layers of obstacles on the necessary road to Port Barnes. But we can head west to the Star City and cross the northern grasslands
Go to the province of Fire Burning. The people of the Ika family will definitely accept us. Then we will travel from there to Port Barnes."
"As long as you see Ruona cracking the magic in the crystal, Palsa's crime will be revealed." Jerant looked happy.
"Mr. Frem will definitely stand on our side. Then we will have the ability to overthrow Palsa with Lord Heg of Craig Island and Lord Roger's Blue Dragon Knights." Byron looked at it in a blink of an eye.
A glance at Joshua.
"Sir Byron, why do you look at me like that?"
"His Majesty King, do you have no idea when you hear me saying you want to counter the Floating City?" Byron sighed. "After all, you are still the nominal king now, but you follow us to do nominal rebellion."
"Rebellion? Didn't it mean to overthrow the Prime Minister?" Joshua smiled. "In fact, I don't care whether to be a king or not. I just want to see you, Uncle Gerant, be able to cleanse up grievances."
"Don't say that to His Majesty the King." Jarant knelt on one knee, "I am nothing compared to you and your people."
"Thank you for your trust." Byron stroked his chest with one hand, "His Majesty the Holy King is my brother, I will definitely find out the real murderer who killed him!"
"Let's hurry up and go to the Star City next to the Great Wall first, and then cross the northern grassland to Zhuyan City. The Knights' troops should be mainly gathered in Guanting's generation and pose no threat to us. The only thing to pay attention to is the grassland
Barbarians. Although they have not gone south to harass us for a hundred or two years, they have nothing to say after entering their territory." Byron continued.
So Joshua touched his baggage. "So should we replenish more water and dry food? The northern grassland is deserted and we can't rely on hunting to maintain supplies every day."
"We buy two horses near the City of Stars and can walk faster." Byron thought for a while, "Palsa would not expect that we would choose to detour the Northern Grassland and go directly to the Province of Fire. We are fine in City of Stars.
After all, it is the starting point of the Great Wall, and it is the relatively prosperous town in the Great Wall area. Some barbarians will also trade with local vendors here. They use the animals, furs, horses and other things they get hunted on the grassland for exchange
Some jewelry, tea, sea salt and other goods.”
Everyone packed their clothes and was about to set off. At this moment, Jerant suddenly called them.
"Mr. Byron, I have a suggestion." Gerant suddenly said, "Since we are going to use the power of the Ika family and Lord Heg to counterattack the Floating City, the easiest way is to start from Zhuyan City and cross the northern grasslands in the north
Launch a raid with the City of Stars as the base. This way, you can avoid more enemies than going north from Port Barnes."
"Your proposal is very good, but if you cross the northern grassland, the nomadic peoples and barbarians here will definitely think that we are going to invade them in large quantities." Although Byron knew that with the current forces against Palsa, those barbarians were fundamentally formed
No threat. But sometimes, being able to avoid unnecessary war is the most important responsibility of being a kingdom guardian. He does not want to cause external troubles when the kingdom of Lance is in internal trouble. "Once a war breaks out on the grassland, the news will reach Pa
He will definitely be alert when he is Ersa."
"Mr. Byron, do you still remember the leader of the barbarian Lehman tribe - Lord Weiss?" said Gerant. "When he was a child, he studied the civilization of the Gaia continent in the Kingdom of Lance, and has been with us over the years.
Maintain friendly exchanges. The prosperity of border trade in Star City and Guanting is inseparable from his efforts. As for the other two tribes, the Tuli and Bis tribes, they were driven out of the north by the Five Dragon Knights hundreds of years ago
South of the grassland, there are only some sporadic remnants that sometimes harasse the Great Wall. However, they are not much different from the bandits of Izaro Volcano and the pirates of the Garo Sea. I think I just want to convince Lord Weiss,
Then, through his negotiations with several other small tribes, we can pass the grassland smoothly."
Byron thought to himself that Gerant's suggestion made sense. "You are right, Lord Weiss is a breakthrough. But we haven't seen it for many years. Besides, his tribal camp still needs to go deep into the grassland.
A distance will delay us a lot of time.”
"Mr. Byron, if you feel at ease, I am willing to take a risk. You will take His Majesty the King to Zhuyan City first." Jarant touched his chin and said. "This..." Byron said
, "Mr. Weiss is about my age. You were still a child when he was studying in Fuyou City. Although he had seen you, he might not remember you..."
Jalant spread his hands, "Mr. Byron, if you give me the medal of the leader of the Golden Dragon Knights, he should be able to believe us?"
"Yes, the tribes on the grassland are more afraid of the Five Dragon Knights. After all, their ancestors have received a painful lesson." Byron said, "and Lord Weiss and I have had a lot of dealings."
"Seeing the heraldry is like seeing you!" Gerantbee drew, "If His Majesty the King allows us, we can talk to Lord Weiss about many preferential conditions in trade. In addition, he has provided convenience for our counterattack,
In the future, it will also be of great help to become the leader of the northern grasslands."
Byron smiled, and suddenly he found that his disciples not only had extraordinary talents in knights, but also had excellent political acumen.
So he carefully took out the medal of the commander who symbolized the highest honor of the Knights from his arms and handed it to Jerant. After seeing the medal, Jerant smiled slightly from the corner of his mouth. He helped himself
The sword on his waist, and then kneeled down on one knee to say goodbye to Joshua. If it goes well, when Gerant sees Lord Weiss discussing conditions and returning, they will also arrive at Zhuyan City, she thought to herself.
The three of them came to the Star City. After purchasing two strong fast horses, Jerant and the two said goodbye. At this time, heavy snow fell and cold wind blew, creating a different atmosphere for this farewell.
Although Weiss's Lehman tribe has always maintained a moderate policy towards the Kingdom of Lance, he knew that Jelant must have many obstacles in this trip. However, he hinted that Jelant, as his proud disciple, never disappointed him before.
.
The sky was already dark, and Jayrant rode a fast horse and headed north with water and dry food. The city of stars was bordering the northern grassland, and the snow-covered grassland under the night was filled with gray light.
He must have a life of sleeping in the open, and Joshua looked at Jerant, but felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Byron and Joshua rested for a night in the small hotel in the City of Stars. The next day, he headed west to prepare to go to the City of Flame. Byron knew that if he chose to go to the grassland, he would still need to go through before entering the boundary of the Fire Province.
Passing a few mountains and ridges, the sky was very gloomy in the morning, covered with fog, like a dilapidated gray blanket. The caravans of the past began to arrive at the City of Stars one after another to start a new round of trade. The goal was to chase the City of Flame, and Byron and Joshua
Sitting in front of me, I rode my horse towards my destination. The fog was hovering under my feet, so thick that I couldn't see the ground clearly. Only a little light shone in the distance, like a lighthouse that pointed them in the direction.
"His Majesty the King, after coming out of Star City, I found that you had not said a word. Was it saddened for Jerant's departure?" Byron asked immediately.
"Well, it's a bit. But I always think Uncle Jarant is a little strange." Joshua replied.
"Do you think your teacher is a little strange?" Byron was very surprised.
"Yes, I feel indescribable, but his appearance and voice are indeed my dear Uncle Jarant." Joshua said to himself.
"Maybe you have never seen your teacher talk about other things like political things besides knight training. To be honest, I also feel that he is becoming more and more leader..." Byron smiled.
