Chapter 194: Barrett flees from South Sea Town
The battle in Chiji Mountain stretched on at night, but Nanhai Town was quiet and peaceful, Ms. Bai was covered by a cloud and half of her face, and Nanhai Town, which was shrouded in darkness, had few lights. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
From time to time, sneaky figures appear in narrow alleys, or flash in dark corners, indicating the undercurrent surging in this peace.
The harbor of a private estate, under the soft moonlight, the calm sea is paved with ships, and the not-so-wide but delicately smooth pier is lined with bright torches.
A large number of ragged refugees, guided by some servants, slowly moved forward, and they boarded the sailboats leaning on the pier with happy expressions, and the whispers and cries of children, and the voices of women crying out for lost children, made the small dock seem unusually noisy.
Not far away, the manor was even brighter, and the singing of the choir band was fluttering, and it looked like a grand banquet was being held.
It was only when I entered the hall that I found that there was not a single nobleman in the whole hall, except for some waiters who supported the faΓ§ade and the singers who were facing each other with swords by the guards, and this banquet was held entirely to hide the noise of refugees in the distance!
More than a dozen nobles in rich cloaks stood on the terrace of the manor, and they watched the bustling refugees gradually board the ship, and Barrett was among them.
"Lord Barrett, how many people have been recruited this time?" Katrana took off the hood from her head, revealing a peerless face.
"Five thousand, ma'am." Barrett, who looked even older, bowed slightly and said.
"Only 5,000 people!" A nobleman exclaimed, and he said with some displeasure: "There are at least 20,000 refugees outside Nanhai Town, why don't you recruit more?" β
Barrett glanced at the fat pig-like nobleman, and then explained to Catlana, who was also frowning, "Our operation needs to be kept secret, and to be able to screen out five thousand credible refugees in such a short period of time, Baron Antonis has done an excellent job. β
After speaking, he glanced at the nobleman contemptuously: "And the number of ships is not enough, most of the small ships we have collected this time can only carry these many people, and the time to load the personnel is also very urgent, we must leave here before dawn, otherwise the Storm Royal Family will find us, I am afraid that they will send warships to intercept us." β
"I see, Your Excellency." Katrana nodded, narrowed her eyes and glanced at all the nobles present, before slowly opening her red lips: "Everyone, today is a very important day, I believe that the purpose of everyone gathering here does not need to be elaborated, then I don't want to see some self-righteous fools drag us down, so, please restrain yourself for the sake of the Holy Falcon Kingdom." β
"For the Holy Falcon Kingdom!"
After being scolded by Katrana, more than a dozen nobles, regardless of height, shortness, fat or thin, smashed their hands on their chests and whispered.
Seeing the performance of the nobles, Barrett and Katrana looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time, the old man's heart was more satisfied with this beautiful lady, who had the ability to have wrists, and at the same time was extraordinary, she was also smart enough, she was a very suitable candidate for queen, and most importantly, the color of the lady's hair and eyes was exactly the same as that of His Majesty the King!
Thinking of this, Barrett smiled and whispered, "Miss Catlana is not only charming, but also extremely intelligent, what a rare talent, I don't know which lucky young man has taken a fancy to you." β
Katrana was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Barrett to ask such a personal question at such a nervous time, but soon she replied with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, don't laugh at me, my brother always says that my vision is too high, and I don't have a favorite object until now." But I like heroes, the kind of people who dare to sacrifice for others are real warriors, so ......"
Katrana said this, helplessly spreading her hands, saying that she had not met a real warrior until now.
"I don't dare laugh at you." Barrett said with a smile, his eyes flashing and he pretended to be nonchalant: "Our King is a loving monarch, and I think he will have a good time with you." β
The words, which seemed completely unrelated to the topic just now, made Katrana shy, and she gently covered her slightly red face and said in a faint voice, "Your Majesty Falken is an upright man. β
Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of most men, many of whom were shy when they first discovered this beautiful flower, and at the same time hated His Majesty Falken, who had only heard of her name, but they did not say anything.
After all, although these nobles are stupid at times, they are still unusually shrewd when it matters, and the real fools are not qualified to stand here.
Seeing Catlana's expression, Barrett smiled meaningfully, and began to say some interesting things about Xiao Yi's usually, which made Catlana and the nobles laugh quietly, but the atmosphere was lively, as if it was really like a banquet.
While dealing with Barrett and the nobles, Catlana's eyes flickered, and there was a smile of conspiracy in the sly gaze that flashed from time to time.
Originally, she didn't plan to get involved in the affairs of the Holy Falcon Kingdom, but her brother was keenly aware of Barrett's affection for her, and in the continuous temptation, they were pleasantly surprised to find that this stupid old man actually wanted to introduce her to Xiao Yi Falken!
So after a short meeting, she decisively exchanged positions with Antonis, although the Duke of Berval, whom she has now come into contact with, is very powerful in the Stormwind Kingdom, but it is not as powerful as Xiao Yi Falken, who occupies the original territory of the Stormwind Kingdom.
Not to mention whether the Stormwind Kingdom can be restored in the future, let's just say that Duke Boval himself, as a powerful nobleman, he has a lot of say in front of Prince Ureon, but in the case of having Lothar, it is impossible for him to obtain greater rights, and if he becomes the queen of the Holy Falcon Kingdom, then the rights will be even greater.
And judging from Xiao Yi Falken's past behavior, he is a benevolent person, but kindness is often accompanied by weakness, this kind of person is very easy to trust and rely on the people around him, thinking of this, Katrana's smile is even more gorgeous.
"Ahh Baron Antonis, it's a shame to hear that you don't go with us to the Wild West. A small nobleman standing in the back suddenly exclaimed, his exaggerated voice attracting everyone's attention.
Antonis smiled and nodded to him, then walked along the road where everyone had parted to Catlana and Barrett, saw his sister nodding to him, and said with a satisfied smile: "Everyone, it's time to board the ship, you go before the refugees." β
