Chapter 138: Return to the Homeland

Ferreira said, "What do you mean?"

"There must be some powerful force supporting the Split Shield Clan!" Bozani affirmed.

"No, Dibia's temper is well known, I don't believe he is willing to condescend to the others, it is a hundred times more difficult than killing him!"

"Looks like Master Itanje has a different explanation?" Bozani sneered.

At Bozzani's ridicule, Itanjie naturally couldn't respond, and his old face turned red for a while.

Suddenly, Ferreira said softly, "What is everyone's impression of His Highness Aaron?"

Everyone in the house had gone to the wedding of the lord of Kournikova, and naturally remembered the joke and nodded.

Ferreira continued: "In the past six months that His Highness has lived in Newcastle, I have been sending someone to secretly follow him up and investigate, and I have found a very important clue!"

"What clues!" the crowd asked eagerly.

"Your Highness once met L'Oréal of the Fireblade Clan in the south of Aragon......" Ferreira said what he knew about the entire locality.

"So, could it be that Omisius told L'Oreal's secret before he died, and then His Highness Alun learned the secret of Shimai from L'Oreal, so that he has the current one?"

"Maybe that's exactly what happened. That's the only reliable answer!" Ferreira said.

"That's enough!" Bozani roared, "Let's not care about the consequences of this ex-favor anymore, for now we still have to think about how to get rid of the food in our hands!"

"That's right, my lords, we don't have to spend any more time tossing around here in Newcastle, maybe Aragon is our best dumping ground at the moment. The other man spoke.

Indeed, Aragon is currently in turmoil, and although the land is fertile, many areas have long been occupied by war, and the people are struggling to make a living, and many people have begun to eat people. Food in these areas is comparable to American arms, and it can even easily infiltrate the area with influence!

It didn't take long for the leaders of several major clans in the house to discuss countermeasures, on the one hand, they should hurry up planting stone wheat, and on the other hand, they would send personnel to other war-torn areas to contact buyers.

However, the first step in getting food to other areas is to address the serious problem of the lockdown. To the east and north were the strongholds of the orcs, and to the south were the territory of the dwarves and barbarians, all of which they had to consider......

It was already a month before Allen had sorted out the rough work on Blake's ground, and by the time he returned to Arsenal City, the competition was already halfway underway.

At night, when Aaron was lying in bed and relaxing, Kournikova, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared at the door. Looking at Aaron, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Kournikova bit her teeth, she really didn't expect that she would have to beg him.

Reluctantly, Kournikova leaned down and shook Aaron's back, who slowly woke up and said after a few moments: "Why are you here?"

"This is my house, why can't I come?" said Kournikova.

"Oh, yes! I almost forgot that this was yours, haha! Why do you have time to see my whitch husband now?" said Aaron, smiling.

"Come less, I have something to do with you!"

"Oh, let's talk!"

Kournikova was a little uncomfortable, after all, it was a very humiliating thing for her to ask for help. Especially if the object of the request is still the guy who has always been despised by herself, it will make her even more embarrassed.

After a long period of deliberation, Kournikova spoke: "Now the stone wheat has been fully promoted in Newcastle, and the various clans are very receptive to this new crop. But there's a problem!"

"What's the problem?" said Aaron, puzzled. Could it be that a bumper grain harvest is also a problem? It can't be a storage problem, right? Newcastle's climate and environment, coupled with the characteristics of the stone wheat itself, should not be a big problem if the storage grid will not deteriorate for three to five years.

Kournikova said: "There is a surplus of food!"

"Is that a problem, sell the surplus food, and you Newcastle can get back a huge fortune that can be used to buy the equipment you need to improve your strength!" said Arun disapprovingly.

"Here's the problem!" Kournikova sighed.

"Oh?"

"All the imports and exports around Newcastle are guarded by foreigners, and it is impossible to move large quantities of goods in and out. Kournikova pointed out the crux of the matter.

"I see, is that why you're looking for me?" said Aaron.

Kournikova nodded.

His own territory, Black, was adjacent to the west coast of Syria, which was occupied by orcs, and the southern mountains, which were occupied by barbarians and dwarves. Naturally, the situation over there is very clear. Admittedly, it is almost impossible for people to send large quantities of goods out or in without them knowing.

But after more than half a year, I don't know what happened to Zabas and Ivanova now. If Blackburn and Syria can be connected, then they will have a rear and a springboard, and their rise will already be obvious.

The west coast of Syria occupied by the orcs, Aaron originally had no way to sneak over, but now he can use the strength of the orcs and the details he has observed to cross the blockade of the west coast and return to Aragon.

After a quick thought, Aaron said quietly, "What do you want me to do for you? Lift the blockade of the orcs? I don't think you're so stupid to ask me for this favor." So, is it to contact the buyer?"

Kournikova nodded and said, "There are a few clans in our clan who secretly conduct various transactions with the people of the Aragon side, but this is all an internal matter of the clan, and even the royal family has no right to interfere. However, how these clans were able to circumvent the orc blockade and be able to get through it unhindered is a problem. Your private territory, Blackburn, is the main gateway to the Syrian coast, and I think you know a little bit about it after living there for half a year!"

"Of course, I don't mind telling you, but what's in it for me?" said Aaron.

"Benefits?" Kurnikova said, raising an eyebrow.

"Do I have an obligation to tell you? Do not forget that your Newcastle system, once the land is granted, is mine forever. Of course, you can take it back by force!" said Aaron shamelessly.

"Very well, it seems that you are familiar with our law! Kournikova said in shame.

"Thank you!"

"As long as you tell me this, and can find a seller for me outside of Newcastle, I will reward you with a batch of alchemists on behalf of the royal family!" Kournikova said helplessly.

"Alchemist?" Hearing the term, Aaron's mind suddenly returned to the Magical Forest. It's a pity that the spiritual strength has not recovered very well now, and the spiritual connection with the manticore lion and the undead servants is also interrupted from time to time.

"Aaron, don't be too greedy! Alchemists are not a popular resource on the mainland, but they are at least a treasure accumulated over hundreds of years in Newcastle!" Arun's expression made Kournikova angry at once.

Alun didn't mind Kulnikova's roar, and was secretly happy in his heart, but he pretended to be ignorant on his face, and said, "Really, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

"Of course, do you think that my lord will deceive you?"

"Is that so......"

Kournikova was almost by Aaron's reaction.

Newcastle's alchemists are among the best on the continent, thanks to the historical problems left behind by their special constitution. Mage, orcs can almost be out of the question. Shaman sacrifice, which is slightly inferior to orc shamans. Although warriors are the choice of the vast majority of people, the constraints of the population base and frequent wars make the orcs pay more and more attention to their own defense.

Ever since alchemy was invented by humans more than three hundred years ago, orcs have been in contact with it and studying it deeply. Unlike other races, orcs fall into alchemy as soon as they come into contact with it. More than three hundred years of alchemy have also accumulated a wealth of experience and a vast number of alchemists for them.

Alchemists have huge financial requirements, but the mountains of Newcastle contain a large amount of alchemy materials, and the income of a large number of mercenaries also injects some vitality into alchemy.

Among the goods escorted by the Fireblade Clan were the alchemy crystals of several generations of half-orcs, but unfortunately they were ambushed by orcs, and L'Oreal burned most of the scrolls that recorded the crystals, and escaped with only the remaining small half-crystals......

"Alright then, but don't just call someone over and say they're alchemists, I've been in contact with them for years!" Aaron reminded.

"Humph!" Kournikova angrily slammed into her chair.

Aaron ignored him and fulfilled his equivalent obligation: "I don't know which clans in your tribe have connections with Aragon's side, I only know that the relationship between Aragan and Burundi is both friend and foe, as long as you buy off those middle- and low-level orc officers who guard Blackburn, it is not a problem to transport goods." ”

"That's it?" said Kournikova, half-convinced.

"Yes. You can give it a try and you'll know if what I'm saying is true or not. As for the buyer you're looking for, hehe, it's right in front of you!" Aaron pointed to himself and smiled.

"You?"

"Yes. As long as you can send me back to the East Coast, which is what you orcs call the West Coast, I promise that all your extra food will find a home, hey!"

"It's easy, but if you deceive me, do you know what the consequences will be?" Kournikova warned.

"Of course!" Aaron smiled.

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

Two days later, Kournikova brought news that in seven days someone would meet him in the mountains between Blackburn and the coastal stronghold, and that he could help Aaron escape the eyes and ears of the orcs and reach Syria safely.

was about to leave Newcastle, a healing place, and return to the Aragon Empire, which he was familiar with, and Aaron suddenly felt an irrepressible excitement in his heart.

In the middle of the night, under the difficulty of sleeping, Aaron casually put on a thick sweater and walked out into the street against the howling cold wind. Arsenal's late night is as much a city that never sleeps as the capitals of other empires.

After a while, Alan gradually came to a more remote, sparsely lit street corner, which was a famous winery in Arsenal City, but now the lights were all out, and the workers were already asleep.

Suddenly, several black shadows swept out in the darkness of the street corner, and at the same time, several fierce and fierce fighting spirits shot at Aaron quite tacitly.

For a moment, the only remaining drowsiness of Aaron was gone, and the blood-colored power in his body immediately moved, forming an aggressive lion-headed energy body and pounced on him.

The first time he faced it head-on, one person was immediately eroded into his body by the power of blood, and his whole body withered and died. However, the sneak attackers did not seem to react much to the death of their companions, and a second wave of attacks returned.

Aaron stared coldly at the black shadow that was rushing in, in fact, as early as the night of his wedding banquet with Kournikova, there were some mysterious figures around him who had been following and watching. If he had killed all of them before his combat strength was lost, it was only because he was concerned about his current combat strength and the complex political factors in the mountains of Newcastle that he did not act rashly.

It's just that now that the other party is obviously impatient and has launched an assassination operation against himself, I am afraid that it is meaningless if he has any reservations.

Playing conspiracy, Aaron asked himself if he was not as sinister and vicious as these politicians, but in terms of cruelty, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

After a few rounds of attacking methods that ignore defense, the other party has some scruples, although these people are ordered to assassinate Aaron, but none of them are willing to take their lives for the sake of a waste wood human.

Aaron also roughly felt the strength of the killers besieging him from the attack, which was about the level of the early stage of the high-level, and the combat strength was about the same as his own. It's just that now that his combat strength is discounted, it's probably a fool's dream to escape on his own.

"Whoever offends me will be destroyed!"

A trace of the sublime destructive power was suddenly released, but the sublime coercion was enough to make the five high-level powerhouses lose their fighting spirit, and one of them even fell to the ground, trembling all over.

In an instant, a killer was struck by the force of destruction, and instantly disappeared into a puff of smoke.

"Come out, my servants of Alan Iverson............!

After a quick spell, the space in Aaron's head twisted violently, and with a loud thunderclap, a fierce manticore, the size of a scalper, with two wings on its back, appeared in front of several killers.

The ferocious, violent aura is endlessly unleashed from the manticore!

Under the sharp and sharp whistling sound of the afterimages, several killers were killed by the manticore lion in an instant before they could recover from the horror.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the manticore's figure disappeared in place after a trance, and when it appeared the next moment, a piercing scream came from a hidden corner two hundred meters away............

The day after the night of Aaron's attack, word of the Lord's husband, the Waste Wood Horseman, had been attacked and had escaped in a strange way, spread throughout the Newcastle hills.

King Dibia was furious, on the one hand, Aaron was his nominal son-in-law, and these people openly assassinated his son-in-law, which was obviously also directed against his own clan, and on the other hand, Aaron was no longer an ordinary waste in his eyes, or in the eyes of those in the know, and this waste began to be transformed into a resource that they could use.

The Split Shield's position among the orcs has been further strengthened, and its prestige has grown, but the undercurrents with certain clans have become more intense than ever. Aaron is now one of the important pawns of King Dibia in his quest for external power.

Under the huge force of the royal family, it took only two days to arrest several killers who had escaped on the night of Aaron's attack. However, not long after the arrest, these killers died inexplicably, and the clue was broken here.

A few days later, Aaron also secretly sneaked back to Blackburn and joined the royal family, and after some twists and turns, Aaron finally landed on the land of the Aragon Empire. Even though this land has been ravaged by war, the strong atmosphere of his homeland still makes the baron feel very emotional......
