Chapter 68: Antelope Canyon in Chaos
Time back to one night three days ago, in the majestic Fernando City Lord's Mansion, in an independent attic, a neatly dressed blond young man knelt in front of a dignified middle-aged man, the dim candlelight could only illuminate a place between the two, with the jump of the candle flame, the shadows of the two also fluctuated, which made the atmosphere in the whole room more and more weird, but this silence did not last long, and the majestic middle-aged man took the lead in breaking the silence in the room.

"I've decided, Bastoy, to go with your brother tomorrow, and Sean will go with you both this time. ”
A low voice filled the room with exhaustion, and the eerie atmosphere was oppressive.
"Father, I already know that I am wrong, so you can let me stay! Brother, he has already told me everything! I know it's all my fault, let me stay with you!" Bastoy looked at the majestic middle-aged man with tears in his eyes.
"Ahh
"Yes, it turns out that my mother's death is all my fault, and I blame it all on you!" Bastoy looked at his father with tears on his face.
"Your mother asked me not to tell you the truth of the matter before she died, but unfortunately you still know! And I didn't drive you away because of this, I'll tell you the deep reason slowly in the future! You must go with Sean tomorrow, and your brother, you two go to your grandfather's place together, only with him, the two of you are absolutely safe!" Although he was a little unbearable, the majestic middle-aged man still waved his arm decisively and made a decision.
"Why do you have to let me go, I already know it's wrong!" Bastoy prayed to his father, spreading his hands, hoping that he could stay with him through this difficult time.
"No, because Fernando City is about to usher in chaos, and the City Lord's Mansion will not be absolutely safe at that time, even our Fernando family may not be able to get out of this chaos, so you have to get out of this chaotic vortex now!" the majestic middle-aged man recounted his considerations in a low voice, and in order not to worry his son, he tried his best to make things simpler. "And your strength is too weak, if you get the title of Legend, you can still stay and help me, but now, you will only become a burden to me!"
"I see, father, then you should pay more attention to safety! I will go with Mentor Sean tomorrow! Hearing his father's words, Bastoy clenched his hands into fists, at this time he was extremely remorseful in his heart, why did he waste so many years, otherwise he could definitely stay and tide over the difficulties with his father, and now he can only leave his father alone to face this unknown danger like a lost dog, and he wants to run away with his tail between his legs, this kind of taste he really doesn't want to try again, he wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand and sobbed silently.
"Don't worry, you and your brother are going in secret, I will announce to the public that you are still recuperating in the City Lord's Mansion, listen to Sean more along the way, as long as you reach your grandfather safely, you and your brother will be completely safe! Now you go and pack your things!" the majestic middle-aged man glanced at the weeping Bastoi, and said with his hands clenched into fists.
At the urging of the majestic middle-aged man, Bastoy stood up very unwillingly, he looked deeply at his father, bowed, and turned to leave the room without saying anything. But not long after Bastoy left the room, the butler, who had received the Krazer people, pushed open the door and entered, and stood quietly in the shadows of the room.
"Brant, do you think I'm doing the right thing?" the majestic middle-aged man didn't look up, he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.
"I think you're doing the right thing, Fisher, you've been spoiling Young Master Bastoy since Miss left, and the master once wanted me to bring both young masters over to him and train them well, but for various reasons they couldn't do it, and I've been living in self-blame all these years, if I hadn't been in a hurry to deal with the things at hand, and had come back directly with Miss, I wouldn't have let that happen!"
"Brant, that incident has happened, don't blame yourself too much, think about it later! More and more clues can show that the incident at that time seemed to be an accident, but in fact, it was the same as this dragon incident, there was a mastermind behind the operation, but they were so tightly organized that every action did not leave a trace, so that I am still not completely sure which side they are. But this is an opportunity, I hope you can go back to the imperial capital, and tell your father-in-law in detail about the causes and consequences of this matter, and I believe that with his old man's vision, he should be able to make the right decision. The dignified middle-aged man held his chin in one hand and looked at Brant, the butler hiding in the shadows.
"No problem, when am I leaving, will I go with Sean tomorrow!" said Butler Brandt.
"No, no, no, the three of them will leave tomorrow, and you will set off with my escort. The dignified middle-aged man looked at the butler Brandt with a shrewd expression.
"Escorts, I see, I see what you mean!" Butler Brandt stared at the majestic middle-aged man, and he easily guessed the true purpose of the shrewd Fernando City Lord.
"And I'll let two people who have something to do with it go with you, of course, you must keep these two people safe! However, according to my estimation, the opponent who can make such a careful plan should not make such a low-level mistake again, so your team is only playing the role of a smokescreen, just covering for the three of Sean, and I believe it will still be safe. The majestic middle-aged man rubbed his somewhat swollen temples with his fingers, apparently he had all planned it all.
"No problem! I'll make sure those two little ones are safe, don't worry!" said Brandt, the butler, confidently.
"I think so, presumably you shouldn't have wasted the past few years, you who are about to win the title of legend, no matter how much you retreat, you won't be unable to protect yourself! Pay attention to safety, although I don't need to worry about it with your strength, but I think you should take care of those two children, let them be bait, and one of them is still the child of my good friend, I really don't want to go. The dignified middle-aged man covered his face with his hands and said in a low voice.
"You're still so smart!Fisher!" said Brandt, the butler, without saying anything more, nodding and turning to walk outside.
After the butler Brant left, the majestic middle-aged man was still sitting in a chair, supporting his chin with one hand, and staring at the ground with his eyes intently, as if thinking about what to do next. But it didn't take long for the closed door to be pushed open again, and with the crunch of the clash of armor, it was none other than Captain Sean, who walked in with an angry face, and threw his helmet on the table in front of the majestic middle-aged man with a bang.
"Fisher, what the hell is going on? What are you hesitating about?"
"Sean, it's not that I'm hesitating, but things have changed, and our original plan is going to be changed!" Looking at the angry Captain Sean, the majestic middle-aged man tapped the two letters on the table with his finger. "See for yourself! and you'll see why I'm doing this!"
Commander Sean, who was full of doubts, looked at the majestic middle-aged man, picked up the two letters on the table, and took a closer look, the face that was originally full of anger suddenly became gloomy after reading one of the letters, and after he finished reading it, he slammed the table hard. "These damned imperial moths, are they crazy? dare to provoke elves, don't they even care about provoking a war between the two races for their own interests?"
Before Captain Sean finished venting, the majestic middle-aged man rarely looked solemn and tapped another letter on the table with his finger. "Compared to that, the remaining letter is the root cause of my delay, and I'm sure you'll get a similar report soon. ”
"Huh?" Seeing his old friend's rare solemn expression, Captain Sean immediately picked up another letter and read it quickly. But when he finished reading this second letter, the anger on his face was completely gone, and it was replaced by a look as solemn as that of a dignified middle-aged man. "How much truth is there?"
"It should be more or less the truth, Sean, our old adversary, he's back, and the last time he was reportedly seen was in Fernando, a town called Blas in the north, and he was my biggest threat compared to the elves. ”
"Free man Joe Noy, the third commander of the revolutionary army! Indeed, he is our greatest threat, is he going to make trouble in your and my territory again this time?" Under the gaze of the majestic middle-aged man, Captain Sean spat out a person's name with a solemn expression, which obviously made him nervous.
"I don't know, there are all kinds of signs that he came back this time for another purpose, but it hasn't been found out yet!" Similarly, after hearing this name, the majestic middle-aged man's body couldn't help but tense up, but then relaxed again.
"What are we supposed to do!"
"In the name of the dragon's attack on the city these days, rest the legion and be ready at any time! I will keep an eye on the families in the city, I always feel that they have some kind of connection with Joe. After bowing his head and pondering for a while, the majestic middle-aged man slowly said his thoughts.
"Okay, then listen to you, I'll go back to rest the legion, don't the elves really need to be on guard?" After agreeing to the majestic middle-aged man's request, Captain Sean led the conversation to something else.
"No, the matter of the elves is only aimed at some people in the imperial capital, and it has nothing to do with our Fernando City, we must now be on full alert to Joe Noi, he is our biggest hidden danger!" The majestic middle-aged man gave a very positive answer to Captain Sean's doubts.
After discussing the matter, Captain Sean picked up the helmet that had fallen on the ground, steadied it on his head, and strode out of the room. In this way, the majestic middle-aged man sat quietly on the chair, not moving for a long time, as if he was sleeping, and as if he was contemplating, for a long time, before he sighed leisurely.
"The storm is about to start again!"
A few days later, at noon, shortly after the departure of Krezer's caravan, in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a team of more than fifty heavily armed guards wearing silver armor stood neatly on both sides of the gate. After a while, a carriage with an unusually spacious black carriage drove out of the city lord's mansion, and the entire carriage was covered by a dark and heavy curtain, making it impossible to see the situation inside.
Under the command of the captain of the guard, the coachman slowly adjusted the direction of the carriage, and it didn't take long for the butler Brandt to walk out of the city lord's mansion in his dress, and the city lord Fernando was following behind, at this time his face was cloudy, and after seeing the butler Brandt directing the team to leave slowly, he held his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and was silent for a long time.
I have to say that the dwarf's physique is indeed slightly stronger than the human race among all the races on the continent, and Camosiddo, who was originally bedridden, was able to walk and exercise normally after a few days of recuperation, and at this time he was saying goodbye to his uncle at the door of the blacksmith shop.
"Okay, Uncle Hammer, don't be too tired, I've already found a way to solve the food in the clan for the winter, so don't be too tired, clean up this place and go back to the clan! Let everyone empty the granary at home, and wait for my good news!" The dwarf Camosiddo said goodbye to the old dwarf with an excited face.
At this time, the old dwarf was already in tears, his calloused hands kept wiping away the tears on his face, and he couldn't say a word because of his choked appearance, he nodded vigorously. Under the tearful gaze of the old dwarf, Camosiddo tightened the giant axe on his back, and hurried towards the city gate, where he was already waiting for a tall mercenary covered in armor.
"It turns out that the city lord of Fernando has also brought you here! What about the magician! why didn't I stay with you, it would be more interesting to have him on our trip. Looking at the dwarf Camosiddo galloping towards him, the muffled voice of the barbarian mercenary in armor came from the helmet.
"You're talking about the Wizard of Krezer! He didn't accept the lord's commission, I went to ask the owner of the hotel, and he told me that I had set out with a caravan early this morning. Seeing that the barbarian mercenary had mentioned Krazier, the dwarf Camosiddo remembered the invitation he had made to him, but he had rejected him for food, and now he did regret it.
"I see, I thought he was a person who likes to be lively, but I didn't expect him to come!" Listening to the words of the dwarf Camosiddo, the barbarian mercenary in armor said with regret.
"He's also going to the imperial capital, so if we have a fate, I believe we will meet him again in the imperial capital. The dwarf Camosiddo's voice had just fallen.
Seeing this scene, the two also stopped talking and looked at the slowly approaching procession, and when the team approached, they found that it was not only the coachman who was sitting in the carriage, but also the steward of the City Lord's Mansion who had received them.
"You two should know who I am, those two horses are for you, you can follow the carriage!" Looking at the two dwarves standing side by side, Camosiddo, the butler Brandt commanded with a blank face.
When the dwarf Camosiddo, who originally wanted to talk to the people in the carriage, heard this, he had to give up, he silently followed the carriage, and walked out of Fernando City with the heavily armed team, without saying a word all the way, and in the evening, the convoy also arrived at Antelope Canyon, also at the entrance of the canyon, and the silent team made a slight adjustment, and entered the notorious Antelope Canyon.
"It's wrong, why did you travel overnight, and still walk in such a remote place?" the dwarf Camosiddo involuntarily lowered his voice and said to the barbarian mercenaries beside him.
"It's a little wrong, although the time is urgent, and the wounded need urgent treatment, but such a rush is too chaotic! And this canyon is too quiet, I have a feeling that I can't put into words, a terrible feeling. And the fragments of wood in that place just now were obviously fragments of shields, there must have been a battle there, and it was easy to tell from the newness of the fracture that the battle had not been going on for a long time, but this butler turned a blind eye, so you and I should cheer up and cheer up!I always feel that this trip is a little abnormal!" Faced with the proposal of the dwarf Carmosido, the barbarian mercenary also replied in a low voice.
However, just as they were talking in a low voice, a series of deafening loud noises suddenly came from the front of the team. Rumble... Rumble... The violent explosion instantly collapsed a large part of the mountain on both sides, which made the originally narrow canyon even more crowded. And the sudden explosion caused the air wave instantly drove off the horse of the two Carmosido, and the frightened horses kept neighing and running around, and the scene was very chaotic for a while. Before the two of them could stand up, they heard an explosion of the same magnitude not far behind them, and the canyon became a dead end with no way out.
"All men are close to the carriage, and the shield-bearer fences the carriage, and no one is to come closer, and the rest shall be with me! You two will stay in the carriage and shall not go anywhere!" the butler Brandt shouted unhurriedly, and then gave an order to the dwarf Camosidor and the barbarian mercenary, and before they could react, they shot out like a cheetah, without the weakness of Krezer when they first met.
"Who are you who dare to rob the guards of the city lord of Fernando!"
"It's you who robbed it, don't run any of you, give me the little ones, slaughter everyone, and share the gold coins on the cart!"
"No problem, boss!"
"Promise to kill them all!"
"Boss, you're too wise!"
"Hurry up! If it's late, there will be no money!"
When the little minions who followed the bandit leader heard this, they immediately screamed excitedly, and rushed to the carriage guarded by the guards one after another, and the scene became very chaotic for a while.
"Who sent you, dwarf!" Ignoring the guards who were fighting with the bandits, Brandt, the butler, looked at the bandit leader opposite him with great interest.
"I hate it when people call me shorty, you idiot! I'll tell you when you die!" After saying that, the robber leader took out two sharp claws from behind him and put them on his hands, and screamed strangely, like a hunting shulker ocelot, and rushed towards the butler Brant with agility and speed, with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
