Chapter Forty-Eight: After the Break
The layout of Yezi Town is a typical Tianzi layout, with one main road in the east-west and north-south directions, connecting the four gates of Yezi Town.
Most of the buildings in the town of Yez are very dilapidated and old, and only along the sides of the two main roads are there some of the more polished buildings.
Although Yezi Town itself has no special products, but Yezi Town has gradually developed to a certain extent by relying on the trade route between the royal capital and the end city, although Yezi Town itself is not close to this trade route, but there are still a lot of caravans to stop here, either repaired, or supplies are not enough.
Most of these caravans were not large, and if it weren't for the fact that the tax of the Golden Lion City in the northeast of Yezi Town was too high, they would not have spent a few more days bypassing the Golden Lion City to go from Yezi Town to Ending City or the royal capital.
Since the armistice between the Nader Kingdom and the Icewind Kingdom for decades, the town that originally encountered wars from time to time because of its proximity to the war line between the two countries, although it has not developed as rapidly as the Ending City, but because of the frequent passing of caravans, Yezi Town has made a lot of profits, even the lowest civilians, as long as they are willing to work hard and endure hardships, they can find a job to support their families.
However, the stability that Yez had maintained for decades was completely shattered at the end of the Cup Moon of the 32nd year of Nader VII.
Most of the ordinary townspeople in Yezi Town hid in their houses, watching the chaos outside in fear of Yezi Town, where robbery, murder, arson, and strong were spreading wildly in the town. In fact, most of these were not done by Arcadia's cavalry, but by many foreign mercenaries, local hooligans, etc.
Later, these people were no longer satisfied with only attacking ordinary people, and they were a little more bold and began to attack some caravans, or the residences of some minor nobles in the town.
After eliminating all the hooligans and mercenaries who wanted to attack the Chamber of Commerce's residence, Barron anxiously asked, "Heather, how are you preparing? ”
"It's ready, what do we do next?" replied Barron instead of Heather but Radi.
"That's good, the rest is my job, you take everyone directly to the south gate, there are less than 50 people on the south gate now, and the three of you are now close to 30 people under your hands, you have a great hope of breaking through directly, and you have at least 5 percent of the hope of escaping at that time. Barron said flatly.
Lardy and Mrs. Celli nodded, in fact, although there were 50 cavalry outside each of the three gates in the southwest and north, but they only chose one of them, it was not that they did not have the strength to fight, the question was only whether they could escape to a safe place after breaking through with hundreds of cavalry and mysterious wizards.
"Barron, you mean not to come with us?" Heather understood what Barron meant.
"Yes, I'm going to finish my business, and as for you, I'll go all the way south, and after leaving Yez Town, you'll be at the intersection of Scandling and Kansas Westbound in about half a day, and a few days there will be considered Harold's sphere of influence, which will be enough to keep you safe. Barron had already figured out how to deal with it.
Later, when Barron saw Heather and Raddie's expressions of wanting to speak, he knew what they thought, and he was worried that without the protection of the junior knight, once he encountered the other party's pursuit team with the level of a junior knight, he would not be able to resist it.
Then Barron said: "Don't worry, their main target this time is not you, but me, Pande, and the caravan's caravan, as long as I stay, the better your hope of escaping." If I follow you, it may be even more disadvantageous for you. And again, the longer I hold on here, the more time you have to retreat. ”
The three Heather thought about it carefully and found that Barron's analysis was correct. But to do so would be to abandon both Pande and Barron.
Even Barron and Pander are junior knights. But in the face of 4 junior knights of the same strength, plus a mysterious wizard who didn't know the details, and hundreds of elite cavalry, to be honest, even a mid-level knight like Viscount House didn't dare to fight head-on, so they could only retreat, not to mention Pander and Barron.
Therefore, when Barron decided to stay, the three Heather had already decided in their hearts that Barron was probably unlucky this time.
"Then let's do what Lord Barron said, let's get out of here, don't drag Lord Barron down here, right, Heather, you and Celli think the same way I do, right? Laddy said without thinking about it, in his opinion, this is the only chance to save his life.
As for the life and death of Pande and Barron, it is not within his scope of consideration, in the end, these two people and him are only a few sides, everything is just interests, and even his heart may not have no complaints, pulling him into this muddy water Heather and Mrs. Cellly, but now the escape still needs the cooperation of these two, which suppresses the resentment in his heart.
And Heather and Mrs. Celli changed their faces after listening to Laddie's words, they may not have the same thoughts as Laddy in their hearts, but it would be embarrassing to be said directly by Radi, after all, Pander and Barron came to save them, but now they have run away, and Pander and Barron who saved them basically have no hope of escaping, which makes them very conflicted.
Barron knew at a glance the general thoughts of the three Heathers, but he didn't say much, in the face of life and death, after all, only a few people can be generous, although he will not look down on them because of this, but he will not look down on them at a glance.
But Barron was still useful to them, so he said, "There is one more thing for you to do after I stay, there are two seriously wounded brothers of the escort in the medical center, and I ask you to take them all with me, and keep them safe, and that is the only thing you need to do after you are gone." ”
Heather and the others nodded as soon as they heard this, although this matter was a bit troublesome for them, but it could be regarded as giving them a step down, only Laddy wanted to stop talking.
Mrs. Cellley was afraid that he would say something that would upset Barron, so she hastened to say, "Don't worry, Lord Barron, we will take them out safely, and treat them as best we can." ”
Barron nodded, then put the blood-dripping sword in his hand against his body, and left the chamber of commerce alone, only to take a deep look at Laddy as he left.
