Lord of War

  "When shall we leave?"

  William went straight.

   "In a hurry?" Sean was a little confused, wondering why William was so nervous.

"Rovland's garrison is a new army." William said, "and the other side sent a veteran. The two sides are not at the same level at all. It would be nice to say if there is a good commander, but this happens to be something that Roveland lacks. Yes... If the opposing commander finds that Lovelan's defensive strength is so weak, guess what they will do?"

  Hearing William's guess, Sean immediately understood.

  A unit without a banner or designation is a bandit army in the eyes of the world. Bandits appear from time to time in territories where public security is not good. They burn, kill, loot and do all things evil. Of course, there are also people who are forced to do this work, but most of them are not good things in people's eyes. There are some more. The bandit army ran around, never hunting in one place.

Even if this bandit army is banned, it has the qualities of a regular army, and even everyone knows which nobleman’s private army this "bandit army" is, but there is no actual and conclusive evidence, no one will take this matter to the table. Speaking, but directly treated as bandits and robbers. The looted territory can only admit to being unlucky. Of course, if you are not convinced, you can get such a bandit army to rob the opponent's territory.

  If you don’t click it, you will treat it as ignorance. This is the favorite unspoken rule among the nobles.

  A fig leaf.

  The bandits attacked the city, and even burned down a city with a fire, which is not uncommon on the Marvel Continent. If the army knew that the defense force of Loveland City was so weak, they would definitely be able to destroy a city on the territory of a competitor without saying a word. This is what nobles like most. At least you will feel refreshed physically and mentally.

  According to the regulations on the Marvel Continent, once encountered this kind of non-war mode siege, any mercenary group, mercenary group, adventure group and even pioneers and demon hunters resting in the city are obliged to assist the city defense.

  In other words, if the opponent's army marches towards Loveland City, Sean's forces are obliged to assist Loveland City in its defense.

   "It seems that we came at an untimely time." Sean sighed, "Even if we are leaving now, at least we have to wait until Anno wakes up?"

"Prepare the carriage." William shook his head, and then began to analyze, "The rhythm of war never changes according to people's will, and we are not familiar with the style of the opposing commander, and no one knows when he will come over, so It’s better to leave early than late."

  After hesitating for a while, Sean nodded and immediately began to act.

  It’s just that the purchase of horse-drawn carriages is not going well. Many horse-drawn carriages in the city were bought by Paro before, and then converted into trucks to purchase building materials. At this moment, there are not many horse-drawn carriages left in the city. And those wealthy businessmen with horse-drawn carriages would not necessarily be greedy for such a small amount of money, so they sold their travel tools. Only Paro seemed to smell something bad, and it was the first time that he would hold a dinner party. According to the news, many businessmen and little nobles in the city were invited, and they even stated clearly that they would like to thank Sean, the troops for their contributions at this critical moment.

  And this news, one hour after it spread, became a fact, and a beautifully crafted invitation letter was delivered to Sean.

  However, the location of the invitation was not the city lord’s mansion that Shaun had guessed, but the courtyard of the top merchant in Lovelan City.

  It’s just these, what do you do with Sean?

  After receiving the letter, he took a casual look, and Xiao En threw it away. For him, the condition of Danaville has nothing to do with him, and Earl Danawi’s competitors can actually invite Deaththorn, which in itself reveals a piece of information clearly—the deaththorn. The name is a well-known name in the dark world, but everyone in the dark world has heard of this name, but there are not many people who can find them or ask them to help.

  Shaun didn’t know how the story of Loveland City was resolved in the game, but he didn’t want to know.

  In the game, there are countless players who will never die playing the savior. They are tireless and will not back down. If they fail, they will die, but if they win, they can reap huge rewards and loot. So even if a game plot eventually turns into a melee, the group of people who are most active on the battlefield will still be players, because they themselves have endless potential.

   But in this world, there is only one Sean, not a player who will never die.

  Tonight in Loveland City, it seems to be darker than before, there is no bright light, and there is only one mansion on the south side of the city with brilliant lights. The four city gates were closed early, and only one north gate was opened. There were no defenders and no pedestrians, and they looked like a giant mouth alone.

  Outside the city gate, a young butler dressed in black trim waits quietly.

   Inside the city gate, a team that moves forward in silence but exudes endless murderous aura.

  The young housekeeper looked up and looked at the leader Shaun.

  A moment later, the young butler bowed his head first, with a respectful appearance, and said softly: "The Lord of the City said, if you are willing to stay, the position of Commander-in-Chief of Lovran’s garrison is yours."

  Sean shook his head, he walked up to the young housekeeper, looked at the other person very carefully, and then said, "I'm not interested."

  Next, there was a moment of silence, and neither of them spoke.

Shaun waved his hand slightly, and the team moved forward silently again. William had asked the way from the residents of Loveland. The elf lived in a village on the outskirts of a village, not by mountains or forests, but very close. Crowded. It’s just that the journey is a bit farther, and it takes about ten days or so. It’s a bit deeper into the Danawi collar, but it’s safer because of its location on the edge of the territory. It's easy to be unlucky...

"Rovela has thousands of families, with a resident population of more than 7,000, and a floating population of about 5,000." Seeing that all the teams are about to leave the city, the young housekeeper finally speaks again, "If the city expands successfully, this number is conservatively estimated at least. It will double again because it is an important city connecting the three surrounding territories and an important supply area for Danawi."

   "So?" Sean raised his brows.

   "I hope you can think about it for the people who live here."

  Sean was silent for a long time, and then finally shook his head and said: "I am not a savior, nor a hero, I am just a very ordinary person."

  The young housekeeper was dumbfounded.

  In these years, doesn’t everyone want to be the savior and hero who can turn the tide? Why does the person in front of him say that he is not the savior and hero?

  He has heard of what Shaun did in the Temple of the Goddess of Victory, so he will come here to wait tonight. In the eyes of the young housekeeper, a passionate and righteous man like Sean is the easiest to be agitated, and he will definitely fight for some kind of righteousness, so he actually prepared two sets of rhetoric. The first set is naturally to promise some benefits. If it is not successful, he will use the rhetoric of righteousness and the people to suppress others. He is not afraid that Sean will refuse. As long as he has the intention to accept the conversation, the young housekeeper believes that he should be able to speak at least. Move Sean to help a little bit.

   However, Xiao En’s direct sentence "I am not the savior" completely disrupted his plans and words.

  He also only left a dumbfounded face.

   "Actually, you are the son of Sir Paro?" Sean looked carefully at a young housekeeper, and suddenly laughed as if he had discovered some secret.

   "Yes." In the eyes of the young housekeeper, there was no slightest embarrassment, and he looked very calm.

   "Then all these actions are yours?"

The news of the banquet came out and the wealthy merchants were invited to allow the residents of the city to rest today. All this is to appease the panic that the entire city residents may have; only to close the three city gates early and open only one that is away from the banquet venue. The farthest north city gate was naturally to prevent anyone from seeing the departure of Sean's army, but it didn't matter if someone saw it, because at this moment the young housekeeper was standing here and talking to Sean.

  For ignorant civilians, sometimes a little bit of catching the wind, coupled with appropriate speech control, is enough to form a very subtle public opinion.

  Thinking about it, Xiao En laughed again: "Then you should have sent someone to ask for help early in the morning?"

   "Yes." The young butler still did not deny, "When I received the threatening letter, I had already done so. The lord's army will arrive in five days at the latest."

  Shaun now knows how those players solved the plot in the game, it turned out to be just a simple task of assisting the city defense.

"So, in fact, from the beginning, you have been prepared for many hands?" Sean was somewhat interested in this young butler. This is also a rare internal affairs talent, at least as an aide, that is absolutely enough. "So you appear here now, just pretending to be a face? In fact, you don't care if you can really keep me?"

"No, I really hope you can stay." The butler shook his head, "Because if you can stay, Lovelan's damage will be reduced a lot, which is also very beneficial to our future development. So I I really sincerely ask you to stay and help."

  The young housekeeper spoke very sincerely, and his eyes were not fake, but Sean still shook his head coldly: "I am not the savior." At the end, he asked: "What is your name?"

   "Solomon von Romis."

   "It really matches your name." Xiao En smiled slightly.

  Ancient language, he knows a little bit more or less, so he also knows that Solomon is the son of wisdom. The full name of this name means "The Wisdom Son of the Ramis Family". Although the tone is very loud, but looking at the arrangements and actions of this Solomon, you can at least know that this is not a silly bag, but a person with real talents. It's a pity that Sean had never heard of his name in the game before. If he had heard it earlier, I'm afraid he would bring more people to Danaville.

  It’s just that this world is not a game, so I didn’t know it early. Even though Sean knew a lot about the future trends of this world, he would also not know many details hidden in this world.

  Solomon has tried his best to keep Sean, but unfortunately, he failed.

  And tomorrow, Loveland City will also begin to spread a new news: an unknown mercenary group ventured through the enemy line to ask for help from Lord Danawi, and the Lord's army will arrive in a few days. Sean didn't feel much upset about being used as a chess piece. He knew that in this world, at least in his mind, there would be one more name for those talented geniuses.

  When Sean caught up with the large forces to rejoin, the door of a carriage was opened.

William just lay in it. This guy could lie down and he would never sit, so Sean saw this irritating guy lying on the carriage floor so casually, opening the door and Xiao En chat, even inviting Sean to sit in. If he could, Sean really wanted to step on this guy's face, and then trample it a few times.

  "What did you say to that guy?" William couldn't help but curiously asked as the chat came to an end.

   "I am not the savior." This is the third time Sean has said this tonight.

  William, for a moment, then smiled, and then burst into a burst of hearty and comfortable laughter.

   "What's wrong?" Sean looked puzzled.

   "No, nothing." William shook his head, "I just want to laugh."

  Shaun rolled his eyes.

  But he didn’t know that William still had a word in his heart that he didn’t say at the moment: “It’s an honor to be able to follow a lord like you.”
