Chapter Twenty-Six: Attacked

"Our caravan has been attacked. On the third day of moving into the new hall, Old Johnny summoned Barron and Pande with a calm face.

Barron was very strange when he heard old Johnny say this, how could the caravan be attacked when it was clear that the people of the caravan had been staying in the guild hall with them.

It wasn't until Old Jonny explained Barron that he realized that it was not the current caravan of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce that was attacked, but the new caravan that Old Jonny had formed in advance in order to establish a branch.

There were three new caravans, and although each caravan was not as large as the one in the guild hall, it had twenty wagons.

In order to avoid being discovered by someone with a heart, Old Johnny specially organized these three caravans in the name of different chambers of commerce, and did not set off with Barron and them, but deliberately retreated for a few days.

The departure time, place and route of the three caravans are different, and even the caravan guards do not use the chamber of commerce's own escort, but are escorted by a reputable mercenary group hired by another party, and even the consignment of goods is kept secret and not let others know.

"But in this case, I was ambushed, and there are ghosts in the Chamber of Commerce! ”

"The information that can be confirmed now is that a caravan has been completely wiped out, from the hired mercenaries to the caravan men and horsemen, all have been killed, and none of them have survived!"

"But instead of taking any of the goods, the robbers deliberately destroyed all the goods and vehicles, but did not leave any information about the attackers at the scene. ”

"This is not something that ordinary bandits can do, it is our adversaries who are warning and threatening us. Old Johnny was still resentful when he talked about it.

"So what do we do now?" asked Pander.

"I have brought the remaining two caravans together, and now that they are stationed in the small town of Yez, I have ordered them to stay out for the time being, and wait for reinforcements. ”

"I need you and Barron to pick up the caravan with the convoy and bring the two caravans back. Old Johnny said.

"I'll just go, Barron can stay and protect you. "Pande is clearly worried about the safety of old Jonny.

Now the Jonny Chamber of Commerce and the Count Harold family can almost be said to be head-on, even in the Ending City, if there is no junior knight-level character to protect old Jonny, it is very dangerous.

"You don't have to worry about me, Viscount House has already arranged, a security team of 50 people, after you leave, will be stationed in the guild hall, led by one of the five squadron leaders under Viscount House, 'Wind' Borrow. "Old Johnny clearly has his safety in mind.

"Is that 'Wind' Boros reliable?" Barron didn't know much about some of the famous people in Downfall.

"Barron, you may not know much, in addition to their chief officer, Viscount House, there are also five lieutenant officers who serve as squadron leaders of five squadrons, and these five are all junior knight-level powerhouses. ”

"Among them, 'Hurricane' Boros is the strongest of the five, and if he guards the guild hall and 50 members of the security team, it is indeed enough to ensure the safety of the guild hall. Pande nodded.

"Then you don't need me to go with Barron, I'll just go with the convoy. Pande still insisted on his opinion.

"Although there are no knight-level powerhouses in the ambushed caravan, the 30 mercenaries are all local masters, and ordinary bandits don't say that they are all wiped out, it is good not to be wiped out by the mercenaries. ”

"And the caravan also has the guys of the Chamber of Commerce, although they are not as good as the people of the escort team, but they are also equipped with weapons, and they are not without combat ability. But even so, the caravan was completely wiped out, no one escaped, and the other side did not leave any information. ”

"This means that the enemy has at least one, or even several knight-level powerhouses, so the two of you must go together to ensure the safety of the caravan. ”

"Actually, if it weren't for Barron's presence, I would have asked Viscount House to send someone, but not now. ”

Pande and Barron looked at each other, and saw that old Jonny had thought everything through, so they didn't say anything more.

"Without further ado, Pande, you and Barron will go to prepare immediately, and strive to set off as soon as possible, I have already arranged the horses, whether this batch of goods can arrive safely is related to whether the branch can develop smoothly. Old Johnny saw that the two had agreed, so he asked the two to set off as soon as possible.

Pande and Barron did not delay, they each began to gather the escort, and as soon as Boros 'Hurricane' arrived, the two quickly set off with more than 30 escorts.

"Have the people from the Jonny Chamber of Commerce set off?" asked a figure looking at the panoramic view of Curtain City on the northernmost castle of Curtain City.

"It's already set off, and the two junior knights are leading the team, so there shouldn't be much of a problem. "It was Viscount House who answered.

"The Jonny Chamber of Commerce is only our first step, but it is also the most critical step, I have been planning for this for 2 years, and there is absolutely no room for accidents. The figure turned to Viscount House and said, but his pale face was solemn.

"Lord Mex, rest assured, most of the strong men of the Harold forces are now under our supervision, the 'Crazy Lion' Totini is now stationed in the Golden Lion City, and the 'Dark Sword' Modern is at the headquarters of the Golden Lion Chamber of Commerce in the Closing City, although there are many strong people left, they are not the opponents of the 'Blood Mercenary' Pande, so there is no need to worry. Viscount House said respectfully.

"Let's hope so, as long as the four major chambers of commerce can be uprooted, Harold and they will not have a large amount of financial revenue, and then just the supply of the large number of private soldiers they have in the territory can drag them to death. "Count Mex, undeniable.

He always felt that things were going too well, even if it was the attack that came now, he also felt that Harold's counterattack was too weak, and Harold, as the biggest lord in the northern land of the Nader Kingdom, could not only have this ability.

"I have arranged for Boros to protect Sir Jonny, and Berglens and Sutar have also secretly left the city to support the Jonny Chamber of Commerce at any time, and the two of them plus the 'Blood Mercenary' Pande of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce, and their new knight Baron, even if the 'Wild Lion' Totini and the 'Dark Sword' are in the past, they will not be completely powerless to resist. Viscount House said.

Max nodded and did not speak, once his plan succeeded, he would be able to solve the threat of the lords and nobles in the northern part of the kingdom without blood.

But if his plan fails, the northern part of the kingdom is likely to be plunged into a sea of war again, as it was decades ago, and it is even very likely that it will affect the royal capital.

However, Mex's had no other choice at this time, and this was his best choice now.
