Chapter 138 137. Reinforcements
The next step is to separate.
Francois contacted Catalina and Klein; Michael went to the Mercenary Hall and the Adventure Association to recruit guards; Annan led the envoy cavalry back to the manor to arrange for them to rest, and then informed them of the departure tomorrow Ogres and orcs.
"I like sweets." The ogre spoke for no reason, and after Annan looked at it, he said, "But I don't mind improving the taste."
Annan looked at the ogre without dirt. The thick skin was thoughtful, preparing to get a set of armor for the ogre, but now he only had time to work on a piece of leather armor to block stray arrows and cuts.
Then Annan came to the study to prepare a reply to be sent "home" - he couldn't say nothing. When the news came back to Osulund, they would definitely ask "Why didn't you tell us?"
Annan first prepared a letter describing the incident in vague terms, but instead of giving it to Huo Ya to take back, he wrote a second letter.
The distance between Breeze City and the Reeves family caused a lag of about a month in the spread of the news. The longer Annan delayed, the more prepared he became.
The second letter is to tell the "family" that the Ratmen in Breeze City are attacking frequently, and there are endless conspiracies against themselves. Don't believe any news from outside the Fire Crow, and don't give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it——
Augusta Olmedo’s foreseeable arrangement forced Annan to remind the two sisters that maybe the news that “your brother is dead and the impostor is swindling” has been sent to the Reeves family.
When Francois came over, Annan had some loneliness in his eyes: "We can't hide it for too long."
"Annan... Sir. You don't understand the nobility."
Franco For the first time, Yisz honored Annan: "No matter how great the glory is, it will decay, and the most powerful legend will fade away. The natural gods who were once the birth of the world are now only the goddess of the sea who has not yet slept. The emperor who conquered the continent has not been able to sleep in a short period of a hundred years." It collapsed and dissipated, and even the names of the rulers and powerful ethnic groups who ruled the world in ancient times were annihilated. In the eternal time, the continuation of blood is the only truth."
"You exist. So the Reeves family exists. If you are no longer Reeves, the Reeves family will also be removed from the Twelve Kings of the North...Why don't that woman and her adulterer dare to kill me? Because as long as I die, The Lundsey family will be removed, and the wealth and treatment they enjoy will disappear."
"In order to continue the family, they have no choice but to recognize your identity, and they may even marry you and give birth to Reeves. The blood of the family.”
"They are my 'sisters'."
"But that's not true..." Francois said seriously: "You helped them find the murderer, and gave them supplies to tide over the difficulties, and those I believe that your help to them will be appreciated and the false affection will become real."
This statement relieved Annan's anxiety a little, and then Annan kicked Francois out. Have him get a full-body leather armor for the ogre.
Before Michael came back, Annan went to the city lord's mansion first.
Almedo, who already knew about this, put down his quill: "I'm sorry...Father's original intention was good, but none of us were prepared for what happened next."
Unintentionally engaging in meaningless arguments with Olmedo about "your father is a rat spy", "my father can't be a rat spy!", "your father is really a rat spy", Annan went straight to Olmedo. Ermedo asked for help:
"The rat people will not tolerate me reaching the territory safely, I need a guard."
"Okay."
After Annan left, Austrian Olmedo summoned his guard captain: "You will lead the team and escort Annan to Glacier Bay safely, and..."
The blue eyes of Olmedo and his father reveal the same origin. A hint of worry.
"Don't choose people from the family."
......
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Annan came to the scavenger headquarters.
"The Skaven will not allow me to reach the territory safely. I need some help."
The Centurion said that he would send a team of scavengers to accompany him - Annan's four temporary teammates.
"The rat people bite me and curse me to sleep every night. My way to the territory is the best time for them to kill me."
"There are only three centurions in Breeze City, and you actually want to take one away. ?” The centurion complained about Annan’s greed, “Okay, I’ll let a guy come with you.”
Coming out of the scavenger headquarters, Annan pondered where else to get help.
I thought of the elf mentor, but still gave up. If he owed any more favors, he would really have to pledge himself to repay them.
On the way, Annan met Michael, who was leading a bald man with a fierce aura. He patted his plate armor to show respect to Annan.
The reckless Renault, the leader of the Lion Mercenary Group and the master warrior. There are five elite professionals and fourteen professionals in the mercenary group.
Michael entrusted them with escorting Annan for 500 gold coins.
Annan thought about where to go next by the way, and agreed with Renaud, the reckless man, to set off from the manor tomorrow morning. He went back to the felt tent with Michael, and then went to the Laurentian family.
"The rat people will not allow me to arrive safely in the territory. I would like to borrow an escort from you."
Annan said, handing the magic stone to the old maid.
"What a good boy..." The old maid looked at Annan happily.
The old master snorted: "Your sister is still hungry and cold, but you are still having fun with magic images?"
"I don't understand..."
"Five days ago, a group of chilling ghouls attacked Osurond Territory." The old maid said gently.
"They didn't tell me..."
The letters these days are just daily.
“Because they don’t want you to worry.”
“Have the Lawrencet family passed through the caravan led by Osu Lund?” Annan asked, and after receiving the answer, he said: “I will do it later. I sent a thousand gold coins, hoping that the caravan can help deliver the money to the family.”
“The twelve families in the north help each other, leave it to us,” the old maid agreed on behalf of the old family owner.
The old patriarch didn't mind her overstepping and snorted coldly: "Boy, what about your territory?"
"It's not less than this thousand gold coins."
"I get annoyed when I see you. Lead a group of guards from outside and get out!"
Annan was almost used to the temper of his old family master, so he led a group of guards from the stone forest: a team of twenty elite warriors.
While taking them away, Annan suddenly stopped and looked at the fortress-like Laurentian family manor behind him.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm wondering...will the old master know my identity a long time ago?"
......
Breeze City is enveloped in the early morning Under the mist, Annan wore a fur outside his mage robe and looked at the team outside the manor.
Two master professionals, dozens of elite professionals, nearly a hundred well-trained soldiers and private soldiers, scavengers, mercenaries, and two elite envoys.
They reflect the identity of the King of the North of Annan, and at the same time, they also foreshadow——
How could there be an accident in this pioneering trip?
