Chapter 41: Attacked
"So fast?" Hearing Alan's words, the owner of the pharmacy named Joseph was taken aback. You must know that this order was placed yesterday, even if the manufacturer has inventory all year round, although it is urgent, but it will be delivered after three days at the earliest, I didn't expect it to be sent so soon.
"Yes, it's really worthy of the processing factory of the imperial capital, the quality is just different! It's all crystal bottles, and we're far from it!" Joseph symbolically inspected the goods and said to Allen, "It's really hard for you to send them so quickly, it's really a great favor for me!"
Although he was very curious about why the owner of this small pharmacy was in such a hurry to order such a large number of crystal bottles, and even did not hesitate to add a large expedited fee. But Alan didn't ask, "only transport, don't ask" is clearly written in Allen's own caravan rules.
And just when Allen had just finished unloading the goods, Ashin, who was in charge of transporting farm tools, initiated a communication application.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Allen, who asked with a slight chuckle in his heart when he heard the bell.
"So far, it's not a problem, it's just ......"
"I said that you have something to say in the future, can you finish it in one go?" Allen said angrily after listening to the first half of Ashin's heart, not wanting to be lifted up by the second half of the sentence again.
"Oh, it's not very capable, but it's not a small temper! If you're done there, you'd better come over. ”
"Cut, you can be great! Isn't it the same to let Young Master Ben go out in person? I'll go over now, and I'll be there in a while!"
With that, Alan asked the others to go back to YUMA, and he took Evelyn and Vokta, who insisted on protecting her no matter what Eren said, to Saran's farm on the outskirts of the city.
"You're Young Master Allen of the Freedom Wings Caravan, aren't you? When we first met, my name was Muri, and I was the owner of Saran Farm. As soon as the group arrived at the gate of the farm, a middle-aged man who had been waiting for a long time immediately greeted him with a smile and said to Allen while saluting.
"Hello, Mr. Mori. After politely returning the salute, Alan turned his head and said to Ashin, "Why are you tossing me here?"
"What? Of course, I'm showing you something good. As he spoke, Ashin pointed to the large pasture behind him that was surrounded by a wooden fence.
Allen, on the other hand, shook his head like a rattle, "You don't want me to buy this ranch, do you? No! Absolutely not!"
What are you kidding? If you really buy this ranch, it is estimated that by the end of the month, the new system will directly wipe itself out without even liquidating it, right? This is related to your own life, and there is no ambiguity at all.
"That...... Master Allen, you have misunderstood, this gentleman wants you to see the livestock raised in our pasture. Before Ashin could speak, Na Muli hurriedly opened his mouth to explain for him.
"Livestock?" Hearing him say this, Alan turned his gaze to the pasture again, and saw a large herd of cattle with a slightly white spot on the abdominal wall of the predominantly black as they walked and graze.
"I thought it was, wasn't it just an ordinary Salit cow, you didn't want to toss me over for it, did you?"
Unexpectedly, Ashin didn't seem to hear Allen's complaints, "You're right, this is indeed the most widely distributed and raised Salit cattle in the northern part of the empire, but they are not ordinary. ”
Hearing this, Alan simply hugged his arms, "Flicker, flicker......"
"What do you mean by flickering, do you know that this kind of cow has another name for us?"
"Another name?
"Wagyu!"
Just two words set off a monstrous wave in Allen's heart. Wagyu beef! This seemingly ordinary beef is recognized as the best breed of meat in the world on the planet, and at the same time, it is also the most luxurious and expensive Wagyu beef!
Allen, who had finally recovered from the shock, stabilized his emotions before saying to the herd, "How many such cows do you have here?"
"You're all ...... But...... But ......" Na Muli was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground with his butt in fright, and couldn't even speak.
"The last thing I like is when someone talks and gasps. Saying that, Alan couldn't finish looking at Ashin on the side, and then continued, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Seeing that Alan seemed to be really angry, Na Muli hurriedly sorted out his emotions before he said to Allen: "This Salit cow has always been the focus of the herding of Saran Farm, and it is also the largest number of livestock in the entire farm, all of which are added to the seven hundred and eighty-two heads!
However, Alan did not answer immediately, but stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly, and Evelyn, who seemed to have been prepared for a long time behind him, and Evelyn, who had been on standby, slid the magic tablet in her hand and said: "Judging from the situation in the livestock trading market across the country, the price of Salit cattle is still relatively stable, basically maintaining between 1 and 2 silver coins. ”
Hearing this, Alan nodded and said to Muri: "In this case, then the price of 2 silver coins per head is good! But I have always liked to make up for it, so I will simply give you 2,000, and use other livestock to make up for the excess!" After saying that, Alan casually took out two heavy large money bags from the storage ring and put them in front of him.
……
Fortunately, this farm is located on the outskirts of Saran, otherwise if it were in the city, it would have caused a sensation in the whole city by driving the huge herd of cattle like going out to fight. And even so, Allen's livestock brigade was watched and discussed by many people.
JUST AS THE CROWD WAS DRIVING THE CATTLE BACK TO THE CART TO THE NEXT TOWN, THEY RECEIVED A REPORT THAT MAFU WAS UNABLE TO ACTIVATE YUMA.
"What's going on?" ALANS, WHO HAD NEVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH A SITUATION BEFORE, IMMEDIATELY ASKED YUMA.
"Result: Insufficient energy supply. ”
"Why is there a shortage of supplies? Didn't I just exchange you for an energy crystal?"
"It's true, but judging from the test results, it is true that it cannot obtain enough energy to cause it to fail. ”
"Is there something wrong?" Ashin on the side was keenly aware of the subtle changes in Allen's heart, and hurriedly walked over and asked.
After listening to Allen's detailed account of Ma Fu's report and YUMA's test results, Ashin frowned and said, "In this way, there is only one possibility left, we are ambushed!"
"Ambush, you're saying it's deliberate?"
"IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THIS IS PROBABLY THE CASE WHERE SOMEONE HAS SET UP SOME KIND OF FORBIDDEN DEVICE NEARBY, WHICH GREATLY INHIBITS YUMA'S ENERGY GAIN. ”
"So what should we do now?"
"Respond to all changes with the same, brake with static, I will not move if the enemy does not move, wait and see the changes!"
Although it has been a while since I came to this world, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing, and it would be absolutely deceptive to say that I have no fear.
"Looking at this, the young master shouldn't be scared, right?
"Even if it is, what? After all, the current young master has no combat power at all! Who is not afraid of this situation?
"Not to mention combat effectiveness, I think it's difficult to even protect yourself. The young master shouldn't be hanging here, right?
"Don't be so pessimistic, aren't there still Uncle Ashin and those from the Walker clan?
"Yes, yes, everyone else doesn't care for the time being, just because Uncle Ashin has been in this world alone for so many years, he should have some strength, right?
"I don't think so......
……
At this moment, with a loud "boom", the entire space shook violently.
"Attack alert, the left side is attacked by a burst of fireballs, and the damage is 2%. ”
I didn't expect that the other party still had a magician, so this time Allen's side was even more passive.
IN THE CARRIAGE, ELLEN ANXIOUSLY KEPT WALKING BACK AND FORTH IN PLACE, ANXIOUSLY LOOKING AT THE EXTERNAL SURVEILLANCE SCREEN, BUT ALTHOUGH THE OTHER PARTY WAS STILL CONTINUOUSLY USING FIRE MAGIC TO BOMBARD YUMA, HE COULD NEVER DETERMINE THEIR LOCATION, LET ALONE THE NUMBER OF ENEMIES.
This kind of situation in which the enemy is overt and we are secretly beaten, and everyone will have a headache. Although Alan knew that it was not a way to be passive like this, his brain was blank at the moment, and he couldn't think of any way, so he could only watch as the damage level did not rise little by little.
"Young master, I can't carry it so hard anymore......" I don't know if this is the first time that Old Vox has asked Alan to fight and let his clansmen attack to test the enemy's situation. But Alan still stubbornly shook his head and refused, because he knew that if he sent people out at this time, he would be exchanging their lives for information. This is something that Alan can't accept anyway.
"YUMA, HOW ARE YOU?" ALLEN COULDN'T HELP BUT ASK WITH CONCERN AS HE SAW THAT THE DAMAGE WAS MORE THAN HALF OF THE DAMAGE DISPLAYED BY THE SYSTEM.
"Also...... I can hold on for a while, but if it goes on like this...... OOPS!" YUMA'S WORDS WERE INTERRUPTED BY A VOICE.
"Alarm alert, heavy sustained damage detected, vehicle is about to be destroyed in five minutes, please evacuate as soon as possible......"
"Young Master, please forgive me for being rude......" Listening to the alarm from the radio speaker, Old Vaux finally couldn't help it, bowed deeply to Allen, and then said to the clansmen who were already waiting behind him, "Walker clansmen! At this moment, YUMA is resisting all the attacks of all enemies alone in order to protect us, and even such a merciful young master is unwilling to exchange our lives for the other party's intelligence!" I, Vaux, am honored to serve such a master, and I am willing to die for him!"
"Go to the soup and fight the fire, although you will die without regrets!" said Old Vaux, and as soon as the other Walkers shouted.
"As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, and now, it's time for us to repay the young master's great kindness! All those who can fight, take up your weapons! Go out with me and rush out to protect YUMA! Protect the young master! Fight for our wings of freedom!"
"Protect YUMA! Protect the young master! Fight for our wings of freedom!"
