Chapter 90: Expected

"Boss, we've looked at the place carefully, but we haven't found anything unusual on the ground. However, the mountain on the left has been quiet, and I have not heard the sound of birds or anything. ”

Just as the marching party began to talk quietly, the mercenary scout, nicknamed "The Eagle", returned to Kevin's side and whispered to the regimental commander.

"No sound at all?"

Kevin asked as he stared straight at him, his eyes blazing.

"Yes, not at all. I secretly pricked up my ears the whole time, but I never did. ”

Scout "Eagle" confirmed word by word, his expression was quite serious, and he was like two people in the past.

Kevin opened his mouth and let out an "oh" with a look of surprise on his face. The two people who looked at each other understood what they didn't say to each other, and they just tacitly understood it.

Unless there is no ambush, no anomaly is the biggest anomaly. James Valley is not a lifeless place of death, the valley is densely wooded on both sides, but there are all kinds of birds and beasts, large and small, and it is impossible not to make a little noise no matter how normal it is.

It is precisely because of the murderous aura of the large group of ambushers that the animals with keen senses will invariably choose to avoid it temporarily, resulting in the abnormal phenomenon of silent sparrows.

"This kid!" the burly big black man curled the corners of his mouth and exclaimed: "Not only can he cook, but he is also good at brains, so he can come up with such a trick in time." What a hand!"

So the long procession continued to move forward, and soon after passing by a large clearing, it was obviously noon, and it was supposed to stop for a rest and dinner, but Battle, who had led the team before, still hurried forward non-stop, and his behavior was completely contrary to common sense, which finally caused a strong reaction from those who were well-intentioned.

When Peggy once again specially told the Marquise Ryder that it was almost noon, and she happened to pass by a rare large open space, and the mercenary group did not stop to rest and cook, but still rode on horses, and some people were eating while walking, the arrogant Marquise Ryder was suddenly very unhappy, and the anger "poofed" on the top of her head.

In terms of family economic strength and background, even if she is the marquis's wife, her car is not extravagant enough to add shock absorbing equipment, neither has the mechanism system customized by the dwarf craftsman to reduce bumps, but also cannot afford to use the suspension circle that requires the mage to constantly add mana to maintain the operation, no matter how luxurious the decoration is, it can't change the reality that the wooden wheels are in direct contact with the hard road, and the wheels of the car are bumpy up and down with the rugged road, and the passengers in the carriage are really not so comfortable, especially for long journeys, people are about to fall apart at the end of the day, and if you toss for a few days in a row, you can't even eat a meal with a big reaction。

The solution is not nothing, riding a horse is one of the easiest and most effective, but to let the Marquise Ryder, who is pampered and has no hands touching the spring water, ride a horse, she does not have the mood and ability. No, there was a bumpy road in the valley, even if Peggy was rubbing her legs and beating her back, she still felt back pain, and her whole body was wrong.

In this situation, doesn't it mean that even this little wish of hers cannot be fulfilled?

The most critical point is that who gave this group of lowly mercenaries such a big courage, without the approval of Mrs. Ben, they dared to do their own thing, behave nonsense, and there are no rules, do you understand that there are other reasons for the order and inferiority of the upper and lower levels!

The Marquise de Ryder was angry, and the consequences were severe.

As soon as the anger rose, she immediately ordered the maid to summon the butler Clay, that is, the fat man in the Marquis's Mansion who was responsible for communicating and handing over matters with the Black Lion Mercenary Group, first scolded him for his incompetence, and did not let the damned lowly mercenary group know what was good and bad and obey the rules in advance, and then ordered him to immediately order Kevin to stop advancing, and turn back to find a more spacious place for the whole group, especially all the people in the Marquis's Mansion, to rest well, and then return to the road after a full meal.

Then, she solemnly added that after carrying out her previous order, Kevin must give a formal explanation and apologize in person for the rude behavior of changing the plan without anyone in sight, otherwise he will face a severe commission deduction penalty!

The mistress, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, was obviously really angry, and the white arm that pointed at his head and scolded was trembling, and Steward Clay did not dare to dissuade him, so he hurriedly jumped off his horse and ran at the end of the team with the speed of his fourth-level soldier, and solemnly negotiated with Captain Kevin, informing the Marquise de Ryder of her two decisions.

Soon, with a stunned face, he returned to the side of the hostess's carriage, looked at the arrogant and unquestionable figure of the Marquise de Ryder behind the curtain, and said to the carriage in embarrassment: "This ...... Dear Madam, Captain Kevin asked me to tell Madame that his subordinate scouts had noticed suspicious figures appearing from time to time on the mountain walls to the left and right, apparently following the convoy. In order to ensure the personal safety of you, the honorable lady, and the honorable young masters and young ladies in the Marquis's Mansion, he was about to order everyone to speed up and move forward so that they could get rid of those suspicious figures as soon as possible. ”

"Oh, as for the lunch and lunch break that you are very concerned about, Head Kevin replied that in order to complete the important task of bringing you and all the personnel of the Marquis Palace out of the valley safely, I can only wronged you and everyone to eat some dry food casually while walking, and I apologize for the inattentive service, please forgive me. I believe that once the crisis is lifted, everything will soon return to normal. ”

Butler Clay said that cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and the more he talked, the more he spoke, the more he was hesitant, and secretly concealed his request for an apology from the mercenary captain, who was familiar with the domineering habits of the Marquise de Ryder, and was ready to meet the reprimand and angry scolding of the master mother again, which was the inevitable end of ineffective work again.

"What are you talking about, the big black man can't eat the courage of a leopard, and even dare to disobey my orders!"

Sure enough, an octave of snarky voice sounded, and then the curtain was torn open, revealing the Marquise's delicately white double-chin face, which was now flushed.

Before the Marquise Ryder, whose eyes were full of fire, could start scolding, as if to prove that the butler was right, a sharp and loud whistle sounded from behind, which was the order issued by the mercenary captain to speed up the march.

Kevin gave an order, and the members of the entire mercenary group immediately started to move, most of the horsemen on horseback rode the horses under their crotches to speed up, and the few on foot immediately opened their legs and threw off their arms, and at the same time accelerated the frequency of travel.

As soon as they were responsible for protecting the convoy on both sides, the carriage of the Marquis of Ryder's Mansion wrapped in the middle had to passively increase its speed in order to keep up with the protectors in front and beside them. The Marquise, who was caught off guard, was splashing her saliva and was suddenly pushed back by the suddenly accelerating carriage and fell directly on the cushion!

So in this way, in the hysterical scolding and cursing of the Marquise de Ryder, whether reluctantly or unwillingly, the large group of men and horses were wrapped up and began to accelerate towards the front.

Now the guards and subordinates of the Marquis's Mansion were unlucky, although they sat in a carriage and did not have to rely on their own feet to trek through the valley, but the sour taste of being shocked and numb on an empty stomach was really uncomfortable.

I wanted to curse the mercenaries for being unreasonable, but I heard them say that the scouts had found some suspicious figures tracking the team, and the commander of the regiment had no choice but to choose the lesser of two evils and go out of the valley first.

If you think about it again, you always feel that something is wrong, since you have found out that it may be the trace of the enemy in the morning, why do you know how to eat some dry food to satisfy your stomach first, but you don't notify the relevant people of our Marquis Mansion in time, so that we can only eat the flying dust and run away now, which is too unrighteous!

The wheels of the car kept turning, and the guards outside the car could only slander themselves, but the three masters and slaves in the carriage were furious.

"Madam, these lowly mercenaries really don't take you seriously. If we don't stop their bad behavior immediately, punish them severely, and let them continue to mess around, it will be a question whether we can return to the royal capital alive!"

Struggling to help the angry mistress sit down, Peggy's face was flushed with excitement, and her hands clenched into fists and she couldn't stop gesturing up and down, as if she was more indignant than the mistress, and hated Kevin's rudeness and provocation even more.

"You're right. Today, I won't let that black and shiny lowly embryo understand that Mrs. Ben is the supreme commander of this team, and God knows what dirty things they can do tomorrow!"

The Marquise de Ryder blushed and had a thick neck, gritting her teeth and deeply agreeing with the maid's point of view, not even noticing that her pointed nails were piercing her flesh, and she was close to losing her mind.

It's so insulting! That damn big black Kevin, who doesn't take Mrs. Ben seriously at all, dares to humiliate me like this, he can't clean him up today, he has to turn the sky upside down!

The noble hostess, who felt a great shame, didn't notice that the words and deeds of Peggy beside her at this moment were not what a lowly maid should have.

Lifting the curtain again rudely, the Marquise de Ryder had just put her head out of the window, when she choked on the tumbling dust and coughed and burst into tears, so she had to retract into the car and shout out of the window, "Clay." You're going to tell that bullshit leader to come over to me! Hear me? I'm going to clean up this impudent guy in person and let him figure out who's in charge of this team!"

Annoyed, the noble marquise had already thrown to the ground the basic principle of maintaining aristocratic demeanor at all times, and began to curse the street like a shrew.

Steward Clay's face was full of bitterness, and now he was like a mouse in a bellows, blocked by gas at both ends. In his opinion, now that the wood has been completed and the raw rice has been cooked, instead of having a complete falling out with Kevin, who represents the Black Lion Mercenary Group, it is better to be like what the common people often say: Since the rice is cooked, just start the meal. Besides, no matter who is right or wrong, does Captain Kevin ignore his wife's arrogant behavior, is he in danger now, and it is only right to leave quickly, and if he wants to make trouble, he will go to a safe place outside the valley to make trouble?

It's just that after so many years, Steward Clay really knows the personality of the master mother too well, and in her anger, she must not listen to the advice of others, not to mention that she is a subordinate, even if Lord Ryder Marquis speaks, it is useless, and the nickname of "Lord Tiger Mother of the Ryder family" is not blown! At present, the master mother will not be able to see herself who is responsible for contacting the mercenary group, and she can only suffer more severe reprimands for persuasion.

For the sake of today's plan, it can only be a dead friend and not a poor man, anyway, it is the seemingly honest head Kevin who annoys the marquise, and he will bear the anger and saliva of the master mother.

Steward Clay then decided to follow the order of the master mother and set off to inform the head of the mercenary group to come for training. Of course, when you notify the big black guy in person, the expressions and scenes of both parties will definitely be very embarrassing.
