Chapter 108: Unwitting Betrayal
Vanessa pulled up her hood and hid her reddish-brown curls in the folds of her dress, and the boy Andy disappeared in front of her, like a dead leaf flying away in the wind. The princess turned and saw Brant and a slender figure walking towards her. There's no time to say goodbye, what does he want to do? Expose my plans? Vanessa looked annoyed at the two men who were getting closer and closer.
"You'd better take him with you," said the prince eagerly, "Ethan, he can amplify and superimpose different sounds, and he can help you scare off your enemies in case of danger." ”
"Thank you." Vanessa glanced at the singer, "Hopefully he's so thin that Horst won't notice that there's an extra person on his team." ”
The princess turned to leave, but was stopped by Blantra, his hands were a little cold, his palms were slightly damp with sweat, and his ice-blue eyes shone with a deep luster in the dark night, "Be careful." ”
Vanessa nodded heavily, resisting the urge to kiss him, and pulled Ethan up towards Horst's tent. Brant looked at the princess's back with affection, and after a while she turned to melt into the night.
"I think I just saw a boy." Ethan was a little unsure of his eyes.
"That's my messenger," Vanessa said as she walked. She had to give hope to her own people, so that he would be in awe of his own inscrutable beyond money, "I have arranged a way out, and someone will take us after the deed is done." ”
"I'm not going to fight." Ethan hurriedly shook his hand.
If I count on you, I'm afraid I'll be hung on the flagpole without taking two steps. "I don't need you to fight," Vanessa glanced at him, the singer was thin and shriveled, but her legs were slender and straight, and the princess sighed in her heart, this powerless singer must have survived in the mercenary group until now thanks to these long legs. "You'll have to go around to the front of the army and imitate some sounds for me."
"That's fine, I want to know how much I'll get paid. The guy who claimed to be the prince said you were looking for a treasure. ”
"Oh, you idiot!" Vanessa scolded deliberately. They stopped in front of Khorst's tent, and Vanessa put it simply: "Except for what he promised you, I will give you another half of my share." ”
"Deal."
***************
Other and Brant walked side by side, followed by Horst.
The army reloaded a full fifty wagons, making the mercenary group look like a caravan on a long journey. In order to avoid the scorching sun of the day, most powerful caravans would choose to travel at night, and Osser continued this tradition, hoping to reach the city of Sleeping Dragon as soon as possible and get rid of the troubles of Brant and Vanessa as soon as possible. As for the boy Andy, Other seems to have given up the idea of harming him, and left the hot potato to Terrence to deal with, and if he wants to kill him, he will listen to the Zun. Originally only wanted a corpse, but what he got was a lively competitor, Vanessa imagined the prince thundering, so that Andy was safe for the time being.
I don't know if Ethan is in place now.
Further on is the Valley of Flames, which, according to Andy's description, is a deep valley made of weathered rocks, where the heat of the sun accumulates in the rock formations and cannot be dispersed, and in the early hours of the morning, the heat and morning dew in the valley are agitated and steamed, forming a thick fog that does not disperse for a long time, and it is difficult to see the human figure fifty meters away. Hopefully, Ethan's magic and illusion orbs of light will have the effect of causing chaos. The task of setting up the illusion orb was originally intended to be done by Andy's clone, but now with Ethan, Andy can come in handy for other purposes.
Vanessa and Horst agreed that together in chaos, they would take the opportunity to take his men and horses.
"Waiting for someone?" Other tugged Vanessa's rope, the mercenary captain was quite scruples about Brandt's identity, and he didn't have such a good attitude towards his maid, not only did he not give the princess a horse, but her rope never left her hand, Vanessa was led behind Otser's horse, her feet were swollen and blistered due to the long journey, which was very different from her previous plan, so the princess chose to keep her mouth shut, and seemed to be preoccupied.
"I'm waiting for one of you to be killed by a cold arrow so that you can give me his horse." Vanessa sneered.
"Speaking of horses," interjected Brant, who was next to him, "who can tell me why my maid has no horses to ride?" ”
"Trust me, it's just for her personally, the mercenary group treats ladies very politely." Other replied unhurriedly, "I want your maid to focus on her walk, not on my mercenary group. ”
"She can't walk anymore, it's just a drag on us."
"If you can't walk, kill it." Other stared blankly ahead, "It's just a maid." ”
"Before you kill her, make sure you have better goods in your camp than her." Brant and Other looked at each other and laughed.
Laugh, you won't be able to laugh after a while. Vanessa looked at Other gloomily, she understood what Oter was thinking, she was a weight to balance Brandt, which would make Brandt throw a mouse trap and not dare to inflict magic damage on him, but it was precisely me who should be most afraid of me, not the prince of Winevalley. To figure this out, he'd need to fight Brant fairly, walk with me, and go through a journey to death
