"Master, I think...this matter may not be as simple as we think."
Kim Gates hesitated for a long time and finally expressed his thoughts.
Aranza smiled knowingly, then scratched her eyes over the words "Sophie City" and "Ameiyani Langdon" written with ordinary black ink on the note, and asked thoughtfully.
: "Well, Fatty, tell me, what do you think is wrong?"
"To the event itself."
Now that the point has been made, Kim Gates will explain it in detail, saying: "In my opinion, the eldest daughter of a ruined aristocratic family should have only one final fate, and that is to become a slave and become someone else."
A plaything of a noble... You know, the auction price of such a slave is always very high. The slave owners will definitely use any means to catch her and then find ways to auction her off... At least that's how it was when I was still a slave owner."
Aranza seemed to have guessed something, but she just nodded and wondered: "Wouldn't there be other nobles who would give her shelter?"
"Unless her bloodline is noble enough to support the excuse of establishing a new country."
Kim Gates's answer was very concise, but Aranza understood it clearly, so she said with interest: "Well, so what?"
"so……"
The fat man didn't seem to have come up with this, so he thought for a while and then said: "So, either the eldest lady is a good warrior and a smart politician. She not only fought away those who wanted to catch her, but
The slave owner also used her words to build a large army; or... there are some evil-minded guys hiding out of our sight, helping this young lady build an army, and telling her what to do."
"Maybe."
Aranza did not agree with Kim Gates's idea, but she did not completely oppose it. Instead, she said: "At least now it seems that this Miss Armenian Langdon has shown no affection for the Thorn Mercenary Group and the Norland Army.
Apart from enough hatred, there is nothing that actually threatens us...Okay, let's follow my ideas first."
He finally decided: "Fat man, tomorrow I will see a well-organized Norland army. Well, as for you, Prairie, well... there is no need to stand up on your feet so hard, I can see you,
Get your airship ready, we will attack Sophie City tomorrow."
"As you wish, Mr. Captain."
Kim Gates agreed, but he didn't seem to stop talking and whispered: "There is one more question..."
"Um?"
"On the first day of the allegiance ceremony, the new city lord of Moran City was a fledgling young man. He seemed to have taken a liking to Miss Elita next to the leader. He had already stayed in Noland City for two days.
, and tried to contact Miss Elita..."
"Well, it seems that there is such a thing."
Aranza then remembered that on the first day of the allegiance ceremony, the first people to arrive in Norland City were the city lord of Moran City and his group of not-so-good guards. This city lord always quietly pledged his allegiance.
He cast his gaze on Elita behind Aranza. Although Aranza was unhappy at the time, she didn't particularly care.
Aranza thought for a while, but this "thinking" only lasted for a moment, and then said: "Well, Fatty, you go and make arrangements to give the Lord of Moran City an unexpected death. I want Moran
The city won’t mind changing to a city lord with a brain. Well...that’s it.”
A small meeting to decide the fate of two cities ended hastily.
Kim Gates and Savannah were undoubtedly the two busiest people at this time. As soon as they came out of Aranza's temporary office, the two of them walked non-stop through the corridor. Of course, Kim Gates was truly "fast"
"Step", and the short-legged Savannah was almost running.
The dwarf was panting and keeping up with Kim Gates. He finally took a breath and said with difficulty: "I said, slow down! Oh, big fat man, have you noticed that Aranza, uh... is wrong,
It’s the leader, I didn’t mean it, dwarfs don’t like to use honorifics to people they trust, okay, okay, I mean, don’t you think he is much more mature than before?”
But the fat man just glanced at the short man beside him. The speed of his feet did not slow down at all, but he said jokingly: "Even you have discovered this. It seems that everyone else has discovered it."
"Well, what do you mean?"
Dawei was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shook his beard in an imageless manner and cursed: "Hey?! Do you mean to say that I am the stupidest?!"
Kim Gates paid no attention to Prairie, leaving a series of proud laughs before speeding away. He was much busier than Prairie.
That night, an accidental collapse occurred in the hotel where the city lord and his guards from Moran City lived. Kim Gates immediately sent a large number of people to the rescue, but neither the city lord nor his guards survived. Fortunately, everyone in the hotel
The boss and some service staff were successfully rescued and saved their lives with the help of the priest.
Of course, the survivors only knew that the house suddenly collapsed and knew nothing about the rest. They better proved that this incident was purely an accident. No, maybe it was not an accident. A waiter whispered that he saw the maid of the city lord enter.
The city lord's room, then violent vibrations and pleasant moans came from the room. Perhaps the main reason for the collapse was that the city lord believed that shattering the bed was not enough to express his strong male strength.
The former did not attract much attention, but the latter became a topic of conversation among noble women in the future. They all secretly expressed that the death of the Lord of Moran City was undoubtedly a great loss for women.
In any case, Kim Gates could only issue a notice to apologize for the incident, and investigated the cause of the incident. He believed that the main problem with the collapse of the hotel came from the workers who were responsible for repairing the hotel.
He used his own hands to seize the leader of the workers, imprison him, and execute him on a certain day. As for the family of the lord of Domolan City, the fat man thought about it and decided to pay a symbolic payment of one thousand gold coins as consolation money to settle the matter.
And in the early morning of the next day, new events forcefully attracted people's attention.
Kim Gates made a public statement that he would lead the Norland Army to crusade against the city lord of Sophie City, Armenian Langdon, who was unwilling to swear allegiance to him.
Accompanying this public statement were more than fifty large transport-class airships hovering above Noland City and more than 1,400 soldiers gathered in the central square of Noland City, including nearly two hundred
A group of fifty magicians of different levels. However, to Kim Gates, who still couldn't change his businessman character, this shocking scene was just piles of shiny gold coins.
This time the battle was slightly different from the previous ones. At least, when the airships landed in the square in turn, carrying batches of Norland Army soldiers and setting off, the surrounding voices were filled with cheers.
Young girls will kiss the soldiers' foreheads to send blessings, while young boys' eyes will involuntarily look outward. Perhaps, from this moment on, joining the Norland Army has become one of their dreams.
.
This is what the people want. When the Noland Army defeated the Awakeners who attacked Noland City, in the eyes of the residents of Noland City, the Noland Army was already equally righteous. What's more, Kim Gates took over as the city leader.
Afterwards, the city's policy was all about support and funding. As long as a little benefit was given, the residents would flock to it sincerely, regardless of the conspiracy behind the incident. Even if the Norland Army's blade at this time was
Xiang is another city where ordinary people like them live.
The brilliance of the twin suns left clear traces in the sky. When all the airships were loaded and passed through the rays of light, slowly heading towards Sophie City under the quiet and glorious sky, Nolan
Behind the main palace of Decheng City, an inconspicuous airship slowly rose up and embraced the light.
This airship is much smaller than other airships, but both the exterior and interior decorations are luxurious. Its name is "Prairie", and as the name suggests... it is the big man who finally has several rooms worth of gold coins.
It is a private airship on the grassland. However, the private airship seems a bit crowded when there are too many people on board. Except for Kim Gates, the members of the Thorn Mercenary Group all gathered on this airship.
On the airship, follow the Noland army towards Sophie City.
A small war does not require the participation of strong men from the Sanctuary. Even a high-level warrior like Ilita can cause quite a ripple on the battlefield. Most of them follow the purpose of traveling because they are suspicious of Nuo.
Rand stayed for a long time and came out to relax or something.
There is a fairly spacious open-air terrace in the back of the airship. Everyone gathered here, lying comfortably on the animal skin recliners specially installed in the prairie, admiring the beauty of being close to the sky. Even half of them were lost.
Karu and the traveler in the soul gradually learned to relax, and the sound of heavy breathing came from the tip of Karu's nose, seeming to have entered a state of sleep. Generally speaking, the atmosphere on the Prairie was different from the dozens of people in front of it.
The atmosphere of waiting in an airship is completely different, it is a leisurely atmosphere similar to that of vacation.
Just when Aranza was about to enjoy the rare rest time on the road, Elita's voice rang in his ears.
"Can you assign me some tasks?...I mean, when we go to war later."
Aranza was not surprised. When he saw Elita dressed up in strict equipment, he knew that the other party would not just find a place to watch the battle patiently, so he nodded and said: "Well, no problem, I think the fat man won't mind.
There is one more powerful knight in the siege team."
At this time, Cyril who was beside him also leaned out from the recliner and wanted to say something. Aranza immediately waved her hand towards her and said: "Well, you can join the battle if you want, but I will watch you carefully.
Yeah, let’s see if you have the talent to use the knight’s sword.”
Hearing this, Cyril was stunned for a moment, and then he brought a knight's long sword aside in front of him, carefully stroking the delicate blade. The long sword "Peacock" was exactly what Lawrence had promised Aranza to do for Cyril.
