Chapter 1123: Arriving at Aika City
was woken up by Kevin's words, Shangguan Xiaoyao also looked at Raff, wanting to know from Raff's mouth whether what Kevin said was true.
"Uh...... Kevin seems to be right. Raff first affirmed what Kevin had said, and then he was a little bit of a stopper.
"What's the matter, Raff, do you have anything unspeakable about this matter?" Shangguan Xiaoyao noticed that Raff's words were wrong.
With Shangguan's carefree words, Kevin, who asked the question, also noticed Raff's desire to speak with a little embarrassment.
Raff, who had been acting very aggressively before, didn't know what was going on during this time, and suddenly became a little squirming.
"Raff, say whatever you want, if you still regard us as friends, you weren't like this before, how did you become like a little now. Shangguan Xiaoyao smiled and shook his head, as if to show that he was helpless.
Raff raised his head and looked at Kevin and Shangguan Xiaoyao, two of their friends who were looking at him with concern, and said stiffly: "It's not that I don't want to speak, but I'm organizing the language." Well, yes, I'm thinking about how to explain it to you so that you can understand it. ”
Shangguan Xiaoyao glanced at the smile on Kevin's face that was almost uncontrollable, and asked lightly: "In that case, Raff, you talk to us well, even if we can get to Aika City now, we may not be able to enter, so Raff, you talk well, let's listen." ”
"Yes, that's right, my friend, don't worry, we won't say anything about you. Kevin, who finally managed to put the smile on his face, rubbed his face and comforted him. It would be even more perfect to ignore Raff's appearance that he was very angry right now.
"The thing Kevin said before, said so, but in practice it is not feasible at all. Raff exhaled and frowned again.
"Why?" Kevin's thin body walked up to Raff's side, looking like a contrasting but harmonious feeling, and asked, "Isn't this easy, just wait for the rebel squad to arrive?"
"We can't wait, mainly because of some regulations made by the rebels that limit us. This time it was Raff who said as he walked, not forgetting to pick up the hammer, his own weapon, at his feet.
"Can you talk about some of the rules of the Rebels? If you can't say them, you don't force them, after all, they are something within the Rebels. Shangguan Xiaoyao immediately followed Raff, and when he heard about the internal rules of the rebels, his eyes lit up, thinking that he could learn more about the rebels, and thus deduce more things that he did not know.
When he was in Terry City before, Shangguan Xiaoyao didn't have a chance to learn more about the inner workings of the rebels. After all, he is a person who has not joined the rebels, and in the base camp of the rebels, there is really no opportunity to explore, and there are rebel soldiers guarding everywhere.
Knowing some of the rules made within the rebels can help Shangguan to speculate on some of the thoughts of the rebel leader Ivan Ivan.
"Raff, let you say that, I didn't know that our rebels still have rules in this regard?" Kevin, who had just joined the rebels, didn't seem to know either.
"Kevin, you have just joined the Resistance, and you don't know the specifics, the Rebellion has rules for soldiers or soldier squads who are on missions outside, which roughly means how many people are in the squad, and those people, when they are picked up or returned, there can be no more people who do not belong to their own squad, even if they are all members of the Rebels themselves. Raff said with a big face.
"In that case, Kevin's proposed method is simply not possible, even if we wait for the soldiers behind us, they will not agree to take us into Aika City with us. Shangguan Yao said with a deep groan.
"Yes, that's right, my friends, it's really not like I'm lying to you. Raff looked bitter, he was still thinking about whether to say it, but now after saying it, he was relieved.
"Who made this rule?" Shangguan Xiaoyao didn't think there was anything, it was just that he had lost an easy way to enter Aika City.
"Of course, our great leader, Lord Ivan Ivan, said that it was to prevent the spies of the Imperial Army from infiltrating our rebels. Raff was very much in agreement with this before, except for the incident that happened to him.
"Oh, I see. Shangguan Xiaoyao nodded, and at the same time, his eyes lit up, and no one knew what he was thinking at this time.
Kevin next to him said that he was a little unacceptable, and said very depressedly: "So there is such a rule?"
"Whew, there is such a hard and fast rule, and there is no way to do it. After saying this, Raff felt that his heart had been opened, and he returned to the feeling he had once felt when he spoke.
Shangguan Xiaoyao knew what was going to happen next, so he could only accompany Raff and Kevin to find other ways to enter Aika City.
"Let's go to Aika City first, maybe things aren't as bad as we thought. Shangguan Xiaoyao can only say that.
"Yes, my friends, believe me, it's not going to be difficult, and it's not going to stop us from moving forward. Raff's mood instantly soared.
"Let's go, I don't believe I can't get into this Aika City. Kevin said as he stepped out first.
Raff laughed, touched his head with his other hand, and quickly followed Kevin's footsteps. And Shangguan Xiaoyao looked at the two of them and had nothing to say, and his eyes flickered and chased after him, and some things were waiting to wait until Aika City.
Aika City, the closest city to Terry, is on the edge of the North, and has always been in a cold, snowy state all year round, and it is no exception.
I saw that at the gate of Aika City, the soldiers of Aika City who were in charge of guarding them were all soldiers belonging to the city lord of Aika City, because Aika City is currently a neutral city, and it does not belong to the Imperial Army or the Resistance Army. Also neutral cities are the Gem City and the Rose City, which causes both the Resistance and the Imperial Army to take these neutral cities very seriously.
Except for the difficult conditions caused by its location, the city is relatively rich in other aspects, and it is rich in coal and materials used to make wine, which are basically the standard equipment of the city.
Coal and the materials used to make wine are sold to the outside world when there is a surplus in Ekka City, which also makes Ekka City a relatively wealthy city despite its remote location.
If you want to say that you are rich in neutral cities, you have to say Gem City, before the rebels and the Imperial Army also carried out a local war in Gem City, just for this gem city, because it is rich in gems and various ores, resources are super rich, it can be said to be a natural resource pool. Gems can be exchanged for money and food, and those ores will not be wasted, and will eventually be forged into weapons, as long as there are enough forges, it is a natural armory, which can provide a steady stream of ordnance weapons for the army.
This is also the reason why the rebels and the Imperial army fought before, and no one wanted to give up Gem City. With so many resources in Gem City, whoever can get them can simply increase their combat power too much.
And Raff, Kevin and Shangguan Xiaoyao chose Aika City, on the one hand, because of the relative proximity, and secondly, because the list they originally intercepted was to be sent to Aika City. Other cities, such as Gem City, are definitely not much better now, and if they can't go with Raff and Kevin's strength realm, they won't go, and the biggest possibility of going is to die in vain.
The biggest reason why Shangguan chose Aika City for Raff and Kevin also stemmed from his speculation, since the list they got before was originally going to be sent to the city lord of Aika City, it is very likely that the city lord of Aika City has not received the list of members of the resistance and the contract sent by the Imperial Army until now.
Thinking of that contract, Shangguan Xiaoyao remembered that when he had just obtained the contract with Raff in the White Dew Forest, he felt a very ominous aura from it, and strongly asked Raff to hide this contract, and when he reported the mission through Luo Jia, the head of the rebel army, he did not say that there was a contract.
On the one hand, Shangguan Xiaoyao wanted to know how the leader of the rebels, Ivan Ivan, would react after learning the news, after all, Shangguan Xiaoyao had always suspected that he and the Lionheart King themselves were one person.
But at that banquet, the leader of the rebels, Ivan Ivan, did not show anything at all, much to the disappointment of Shangguan Yao.
Because once Ivan Ivan takes the initiative to ask Raff about the list, and asks if there is anything else besides the list, then the probability that Ivan Ivan is the Lionheart King in Shangguan Yaoyao's heart will definitely increase greatly.
The reason why Shangguan Xiaoyao chose to stay by Raff's side all the time is also because of this contract. When he got his hands on it before, Raff wanted to open it directly to see, but Shangguan Xiaoyao stopped him, and that contract gave Shangguan Xiaoyao a very evil feeling, knowing that this contract was not an ordinary thing, let alone a simple contract.
Now that he was about to arrive in Aika City, Shangguan Xiaoyao suddenly thought of this, complaining that he had almost forgotten this unstable factor.
I want to stop Raff in front of me, ask for the contract from him, and keep it myself. Because in case of any unexpected situation after entering Aika City, this contract must not fall into the hands of others.
opened his mouth, Shangguan Xiaoyao still didn't stop Raff, and secretly shook his head, feeling that he might as well find another opportunity to ask for the contract from Raff's hand, that contract was not safe in Raff's hands.
It didn't take long for the three of them to come to the gate of Aika City, but they didn't get close to it.
"Hey, there's no martial law in Aika City, what's going on?" Kevin said, standing behind Raff and glancing at the gates of Aica City.
"I also want to know if it's because we cut off the list before??" Raff scratched his head and said, "Could it be that this Aika City Lord didn't receive the list, and the Imperial Army didn't send a second list to this Aika City Lord?"
Shangguan Yao listened to the conversation between Raff and Kevin, and said secretly in his heart: "Maybe it's not because of the list, but because of the contract." ”
Maybe the city lord of Aika City has already obtained another list of information about the members of the resistance, but without that contract, the city lord of Aika City did not take immediate action and should still be waiting, which just gave them the opportunity to infiltrate the city.
"It shouldn't be a big deal, while there is no martial law in Aika City now, put away your weapons, and we'll hurry up and get in. Shangguan glanced at the gate of Aika City, where there were still people coming and going, and said to Raff and Kevin. Now the opportunity is just right, and there is no need to worry about not being able to enter Aika City.
"Okay, my friend, listen to you, then let's go over, shall we?" Raff put away his sledgehammer, glanced at Kevin and Shangguan Xiaoyao, who were empty-handed, and held the weapon in his own hand.
