Chapter 334: Asking for Ransom (1) (Asking for Subscription!Asking for Recommendation Tickets!Asking for Monthly Passes!)

The Niro River is the largest river in Medici, with abundant water and a wide river.

As a result, even if the boat is swimming upstream, the oars will not be too difficult for the sailors.

Before the Scales of Quest established an air route across the empire using the Leviathan Behemoths as a vehicle, the river was the most common "highway" for merchants and travelers.

By boating on the river, you don't need to take a long detour to the mountains that block your way, and you don't need to worry about the danger of getting lost. Moreover, there are many cities and villages along the Nero River, which make it easy to get supplies.

From the city of Beit, by land to the city at the mouth of the Niro River, and then boarded a specially prepared galley, carrying plenty of food and water, more than thirty sturdy men sat on the lower deck and took turns sliding the oars to the city of Nome.

Due to thorough preparation, the trip, which would have taken more than a month, was reduced to about 10 days.

However, the commander still feels that the time is too long, as the so-called delay is changing, giving the Scales of Eternal Order too much time to deal with it, who knows if the other party has come up with a way to deal with it, or whether the "meat ticket" of the dragon Pasha will be "expired and invalidated"?

"There are too many variables on this trip," Standing on the bow deck of the ship, Commander Wen Feng looked at the approaching city, and secretly pondered in his heart, "but the conditions of the Great Veyshur are a little too harsh, and I knew that this was the case, and the pursuit of the Jackdaw would have left his men fully responsible......

Originally, after solving the follow-up problem of Zaganpasha, he wanted to use the teleportation spell to reach Nome City directly, and go to the headquarters of the Scales of Eternal Order to deliver the agreement on the ransom of Davishur.

But to his surprise, when the portal was opened, those mages who were at least black-robed found that the spatial coordinates pointing to Nome City were greatly disturbed, and it was impossible to locate and teleport at all.

Needless to say, it must have been a defensive move made by the other party after learning of the attack on Quest in order to prevent a surprise attack on its headquarters.

In fact, when the half-lich Snead teleported back to Nome with everyone, he immediately activated the "Mystery Lock" protective device developed and deployed by himself and the young blue dragon to prevent the teleportation raid of the Great Vishur.

At the same time, the Pasha territory previously controlled by Quest has also entered a state of full combat readiness, and it is always on guard against the Medici army that may appear at any time, whether the other party obeys the orders of the Pharaoh or the Great Veille.

Of course, after all, the Pharaoh was the de jure supreme ruler of the land, and some towns within the Pasha's territory, far from the territory of Nome and the Dragon's Lair, did not strictly enforce the administrative and military orders issued from the city of Nome.

But the closer cities, such as the city of Spat on the banks of the Niro River, which was about to arrive by Commander Wenfeng, had completely entered the stage of military control at this time, and everyone was already nervous.

Commander Snown was sure of this, especially when he saw the ballista on the edge of the dock aiming at his ship, and he no longer had any doubts about the news that his Sniffers had returned.

"Be careful, but don't show your weapons," he commanded loudly, making sure all the sailors on board could hear him, "after all, we are only here to negotiate, not to be in the vanguard of war." ”

If the sailors on this ship were ordinary sailors, his orders would hardly have worked, for not a single sailor would have been willing to lay down his weapon when someone had aimed at him with a ballista.

But the people who served on this ship were all carefully selected hearrs, and they naturally did not question the orders of their own commanders. Even if the other party asks him to commit suicide immediately, they will be willing to do it without any hesitation.

"Listen to the defenders on the shore, our galleys need to dock and go to Nome near the city of Spath, Lord Davishur has an important letter to deliver to the consul of Norm City in person, for the safety of the dragon Pasha and yourselves, do not open fire rashly, otherwise the next wave will not be the ship of the diplomat, but the thousand ships of the Medici Legion......"

The one who shouted was a sailor's chief, who was also one of the wind-hearers.

Although the Hearing Wind Commander has a spellcaster in charge and can use the sound transmission spell, but now they are in a state of tension, in order not to let the other party misunderstand and incur more trouble or even attack, they have to take this relatively primitive means to communicate.

Communication is basically by roaring, but fortunately it works here. Of course, it is also possible that the message conveyed was useful to the defenders on the shore.

Regardless, the ballistas that looked like they could destroy an entire galleys with a single shot were not fired. The defenders on the shore sent a special navigator to lead the galleys to dock at the special berth pier.

According to the information found by the hearers, the city of Sparter is nominally ruled by the consuls, but in reality it is controlled by the leader of an underground force called the "Gauntlet". And this "glove" is the shadow child arranged by the dragon Pasha in the city.

As the leader of the secret spy of Medici, Commander Wenfeng is actually looking forward to meeting this "glove".

He was eager to test this person's loyalty limit, and even if he couldn't take it for himself, he could add a nail to Queth's seemingly monolithic camp so that he could break it in the future.

However, the "glove" did not give him this opportunity, and the group did not even enter the city of Spath, but were led by the two teams of defenders to bring some camel beasts, and then the guards were actually escorted directly to Nome City.

The city of Spart, which was only about a day's journey from Nome, was at stake for the dragon Pasha, so the team kept moving at a rapid pace. In addition, in order to facilitate transportation, the Scales Chamber of Commerce of the Eternal Order specially funded the repair of the road, and it was only about a dozen hourglasses that the Commander of the Wind saw the walls of Nome.

During the U-Sang invasion, the city was burned to the ground, and not one of its inhabitants survived because it was used to refine obsidian orbs to support portals.

But now it's been less than a year, and the city has been revitalized since the start of the Games, with more and more people from the surrounding areas settling here.

After entering the city gate, the commander of Wenfeng saw many merchants coming and going, as well as a lively commercial market comparable to Beit.

"I hope that this city, or the Scales of Eternal Order, will be able to take three million three hundred and thirty thousand silver Kate...... Otherwise, I will have to add many sins to the destruction of such a thriving city of Medici. ”
