"Don't move, if you don't want your eyes to be the last picture of your life. Joseph led the men and rushed directly to the man on the corner of the alleyway.

"Wait! wait......"

Without resistance, the other party is an ordinary person.

"I'm just a merchant passing by, I'm a merchant from Edak. ”

"That won't be until you've investigated to determine your identity. Without saying a word, Joseph tied up and took him directly to Sean.

Just a dark-looking but more energetic man, with a stubble all over his chin, he looks like he may be less than thirty years old.

"Who are you?" asked Sean.

"Back to the general, I'm an Adak merchant who is resting in this area, I'm not a bad person, I'm a businessman!" The tone of the Adak is indeed different from that of the Basharan Empire, and it seems that this is the first time Sean has really spoken one-on-one with the Adak.

"You're an Aedak?"

"Yes. ”

The other party lowered his head, but there was still some unconvincing in his tone.

"You'd better be honest...... You know it's our ......."

Joseph was about to say it when Sean raised his hand to stop him, it was better not to say it outside as a lord, he had seen the communication ability of these traveling merchants, if Joseph said it, it might not be long before the Lord of Oro City came to Old City of Tacoma to spread out.

"Why are you here?" Sean continued to ask.

Merchants are different from ordinary residents, especially these well-informed traveling merchants.

Since that move just now, the other party has been [doubting!], but there are too many soldiers around, and the merchant didn't dare to speak, just silently shut his mouth. There is no nervous look but is more calm, it should really be a businessman, so there is no need to be so nervous.

"We are merchants who have been delivering goods to the Basalan Empire all year round, and we used to rest in Tacoma City, although the city is empty now, but there are houses, and it is enough for us to have a place to rest. "After all, the Aedak people are not from the Basharan Empire, and they are not as careful as the Imperial people when they speak.

"You ...... It means that there are a lot of people around here. ”

"Yes, they're on the other side of Eastside. The merchant pointed in one direction.

"Take me to see it, otherwise it will be difficult to prove your identity. Sean said in passing.

..................

The city of Tacoma is now a city in ruins, with its streets depressed and deserted, except for some uncleaned garbage and stinking water accumulated on rainy days!

"My lord, what are we going to the merchant location for?"

On the way to follow the Adak merchants, Joseph couldn't help but ask.

Merchant rest is common everywhere, or in the eyes of most people, although it is not a big deal, merchants are still accustomed to having such a profession, because they can buy and sell and exchange all their goods in the world, even if they restrict trade in times of war, but they do not really take advantage of those traveling merchants from other countries.

Because once peace comes, they are still needed to increase the purchasing power of a city!

"I didn't say anything about it when I set off, but I'll tell you now......" Sean looked at Joseph, after all, he was following his generals this time, and at least he had to tell him what he had to do next.

And after the other party saw his serious eyes, he also nodded firmly.

"Do you remember the last time we had a discussion, Harry guessed that Edak was trying to take over Old Tacoma?"

The other person continued to nod in the affirmative.

Harry was present when he was talking, and it was this Joseph who sent a letter saying that the Edaks had increased their forces on the border.

"But I've heard some stories from Luke later about the Edak merchants, who seem to be following some kind of command to look for something when they come to Tacoma City. ”

"Something? What's that. ”

"I don't know for the time being, so I'm going to see it myself...... Remember, I'm not Count Vegal of Oro City, I'm just a general of a higher rank than you, so don't reveal my identity. Sean said.

"Yes, sir. ”

As the two men were talking, the ranks of soldiers had already entered the place where each other's so-called merchants lived.

It's a slightly cleaner street, full of furniture that they have moved from their homes that they can't remove, used to make fires, to build all sorts of oddly shaped objects, and of course, to cook things in old clay pots from other people's homes.

It seems that the merchants regarded this empty city as a place to behave recklessly...... It's a bit of a feeling of treasure hunting in the ruins.

As the soldiers approached, many of the merchants who were talking stopped at this time, and then stood up again......

The armor and outfits of the accompanying soldiers can easily be seen as the costume of Oro City, and the news of Oro City's continuous increase of troops here during this period of time has also been rumored among merchants.

In fact, in the eyes of ordinary businessmen, although there are national interests, they still hope for peace forever, so that their own interests will not be harmed. Otherwise, if there is a military conflict between the two sides, it is likely that this trade route will come to a standstill.

"General, this is where we rest on weekdays. When we come from the Edak area, we usually come here for a night rest and then we set off......"

"One night? Not necessarily. ”

Sean said suddenly.

Looking at the merchants around him, his physique was relatively strong, and most of them had dark skin.

This is more like the people on the side of the Adak, but there are also some people who look like the Basharan Empire, but the clothes are different.

"The general laughed, we've always been like this...... Just borrowing this place, and not doing anything to damage the Basharan Empire. "The other party tries his best to play the image of a good person who has been wronged.

"But you're not resting for the night. Sean continued.

The surrounding businessmen, including those who were caught, were a little puzzled.

He stepped forward and glanced at Joseph slightly......

"We are the guardians of Oro City, and recently our lord heard a report from a former resident of Tacoma who said that there were several items in Tacoma City that were originally from the innocent dead Lord Francis's house, but were stolen by merchants. That's why we came over to see if there was such a thing. ”

Since he couldn't find it, and almost all of his questions were lying, Sean had to use another way.

It is not directly mentioned what it is, but in front of all the merchants......

As long as there is a businessman with a change in mood, he is in the know.

Sure enough, after I said it, the mood changes around me slowly appeared.

[Laugh!], [Inexplicable!], [Angry!], ...... [Nervous!], and [Worried!......
