Chapter Forty-Seven: Wooing (I)
While the Marquis was still asking the question of who to collect the body, Wang Feng was negotiating with a dragoon.
Leaving Viscount Conn and the arrogant officer in the morning, the caravan began to prepare to leave the city of Goosby. The mercenaries didn't have much to pack, and the packages of the cargo and the Load-Bearing Beasts were also ready-made, so it didn't take much time.
Kang En waited to see them off at the city gate, and it seemed that he had something to tell Wang Feng. Let everyone go slowly, Wang Feng will fall behind and listen to what Conn has to say.
Dopp now also has a trace of suspicion, who is this Wang Feng? Very contradictory, sometimes surprisingly bold, dozens of people dare to take a tough attitude against the army, but when it is really time to make a move, this person hides behind like a turtle with a shrunken head.
However, seeing Viscount Conn seeing him off at the door, he had some bottom in his heart, and it was estimated that this person had a shallow relationship with an important person in the empire, so he was not afraid of anything in the empire. Even this important person is still an important member of the military, otherwise the military governor of a place would not be so attentive. You have to let these fools on the periphery hurry up to find out what the origin of this person is, otherwise once the family makes a move, it will offend the Tianlong Empire, although it has obtained a few people, but if the family's business and power in the empire are all ruined, this transaction will not be worth the loss.
The people in front of him slowly opened up a distance between Wang Feng and the two of them, and only then did Viscount Kang En speak: "Wang Feng, you must be careful when you go out of the country this time. There's been a lot going on lately, and Marshal Norton doesn't want anything to happen to you. ”
Wang Feng let out an 'oh' and asked, "Is there any danger?"
Conn replied, "This recent large-scale troop movement is not only due to your mercenary group, but also because of the recent sightings of the half-elves outside of Gustby City, so we have been sending people to patrol the area as well. Half-elves have always been hostile to humans and elves, so you must be careful when you encounter them. ”
"Sometimes if someone wants to find you, you can't hide, and it's not a way to escape. Wang Feng replied noncommittally.
"Also, you killed all the thieves on the mountain road this time, but our intelligence agent was also unfortunately killed by you. There are already some voices in the military who are dissatisfied with you, but after all, you killed him in the battle against the thieves, so although those bigwigs are dissatisfied, they have no choice but to be angry. But you must be careful of the people from the intelligence department today, they are members of the special forces team, they are usually very arrogant, and if they are teased by you, they will definitely be disgruntled and wait for an opportunity to retaliate. ”
Wang Feng hummed to show that he understood, and nodded his head to express his gratitude.
Conn sighed, and then said, "Actually, your biggest trouble is still internal, have you noticed?" Wang Feng nodded.
"There is a problem with your cargo owner, I asked the military people to check, and their power is in all countries, and their strength is not weak. There were a few people who arrived before you came to Goosby, and we let them go for fear of startling them, but they seem to have a stronghold in the city, and our magicians have discovered that they used to have contact with the outside of the city, presumably with the owner of the goods or the hot-blooded mercenary group. But I think that mercenary group is an honest mercenary group that does tasks to make money, and they don't have the manpower to build a stronghold here. Half-elves can't either, they have a bad relationship with humans and won't make magical connections with people. ”
After finishing speaking, Conn suddenly sighed a little and continued: "This time the cooperation between Marshal Norton and you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire also attaches great importance to it, and there are only five people who know about the entire plan, His Majesty the Emperor, Marshal Norton, Master Chim, me and another intelligence officer. The Empire has great expectations for this cooperation, hoping to restore to a certain extent the glory of the past when the Celestial Dragon Empire fought against the Holy Empire alone. ”
"So I'm not very relieved yet, I must send some people to die to try, right?" Wang Feng said these words unceremoniously.
Of course, Kang En knew that Wang Feng was angry, but he still said: "Since all the countries on the continent signed an agreement to gather all the high-level warriors and magicians together, there are only some regular personnel left in each country, and the overall force has dropped a lot. The empire had the most high-level talents at that time, so it also suffered the most. Although there are all kinds of talents in the empire, it is a pity that it is too difficult to cultivate a high-level talent. ”
Looking at the burden-bearing beast that was gradually disappearing in front of him, Conn continued: "You have brought us hope, not only have you created some incredible miracles, but you have cultivated a group of masters in a short period of time. His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire is old, and there is nothing more urgent for him than to be able to restore the glory of the empire in his lifetime. But you are too young, so young that His Majesty the Emperor can't believe that you have such ability, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't dare to put all his hopes on you, so there is this test. ”
"For Marshal Norton, though, this time it's a double win. It increased the confidence of His Majesty the Emperor, and at the same time eliminated his own political enemies. Although there are some intentions to take advantage of you, the benefits to you are also great, at least you will get the unconditional support of the emperor [***] in the future. Conn looked a little serious.
Wang Feng's expression didn't change, but he asked Kang En: "You have said so much about you, have you ever asked me if I am willing, will I continue to cooperate with you for a long time?"
Conn smiled and said, "Your origin Marshal Norton also told me that you are now on this continent, and you do not belong to any country or race, but as a creature on a continent, you must have a country, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch on the continent." ”
Looking at Wang Feng, who was thinking, Kang En continued: "A talent like you will definitely not be unknown, even if no one pays attention to you now, but one day you will become famous all over the world." At that time, you will be the first to fight for in all countries. If you can't win it, it's the enemy you want to destroy first. Even if you are as brave as the dragoons, you will not be able to be the enemy of all nations. Only with a strong empire behind you can you realize your dreams on this colorful and wonderful continent. ”
"And we, the Celestial Dragon Empire, are now the powerful empire behind you. The Empire doesn't care about the orthodox gods, it doesn't care about the level of origin, and even we don't care if you're from our world, as long as you're truly talented. The military strategy and political direction of the empire will change because of you. Anyone who wants to deal with you will have the empire behind you in mind. Conn continued his train of thought.
"You've spent some time with Master Chuck and Miss Aisha, and we both know that you value your friends very much. You treat them as friends, so teach them how to stay alive on the battlefield. You've wiped out all the enemy, so you haven't spared even our tipsters. You helped the berserkers get rid of the thousand-year-old curse, helped the dragoons jump out of the tragic circle, and they will become the decisive force that will shape the situation on the continent in the near future, and this is all thanks to you alone. Comparatively speaking, the Empire is willing to have friends like you, not enemies like you. ”
"Now the Empire is very happy with you and needs you to make your choice. The empire has your friends, the empire has your hopes, the empire has the strong backing for you to realize your dreams, and the doors of the empire are always open to you. Conn persuaded bitterly.
At this time, Wang Feng was muttering: "Dreams, do I still have dreams?"
Kang En said: "Everyone has a dream, you don't know it because you have never thought about it carefully, even if you live a life in peace, it is a dream!"
Wang Feng's eyes were stupid and he didn't say anything. Conn saw that he had almost finished speaking, and the interested ones stopped talking.
Suddenly, Wang Feng asked: "Then you let me walk around the countries casually, and I am not afraid that other countries will win me over, and I will agree?"
Smiling proudly, Conn said, "It's not that we have faith in you, it's the environment of those empires. The so-called Holy Empire, although they value your talents, will never entrust you with important tasks. Because you are not of noble origin, and you will believe in their gods, and you are destined to be a high-ranking slave with them, and you are an eagle soaring in the sky, and will you bow your head [***]?"
Seeing that he was confident, Wang Feng also smiled and did not speak.
It was almost time to reach the border, and the caravans in front were waiting there, Kang En and Wang Feng didn't speak, and the two silently caught up with the caravan.
On the opposite side is the Water God Empire, where Dopp and others go through the formalities of customs clearance, this is a serious transport of goods, there is no need to smuggle and sneak across the border.
Sent to the border, in order not to cause them trouble, Conn didn't say much, arched his hand and said goodbye to Wang Feng, and returned to Gusbi under the escort of the entourage that followed far behind.
Before the formalities were completed, Wang Feng called Ruohan over. Zhuo Meng followed him inch by inch, Wang Feng asked him with a smile: "Zhuo Meng, are you far away?"
Zhuo Meng patted his head and looked at it for a long time, pointed in one direction and said, "Walk in this direction for two days, and you will almost arrive." The direction he was pointing in was the direction that followed the border into the mountains.
Wang Feng stretched out his hand to beckon a warrior to come over, and told him a few words, so that he could lead nine warriors and Ruohan Zhuomeng to set off to pick up their people. Specially told them not to cause trouble along the way, and if there is a berserker going berserk, subdue him with his fists. Some of the things to pay attention to had already been explained to Ruohan, so a small group of people was separated from everyone like this.
Although I don't know why he divided almost half of his manpower, there are two berserkers missing from the team, after all, everyone feels much safer in their hearts. And the samurai didn't show much along the way, as long as the elite elves didn't leave, no one cared if the removal of a few samurai and berserkers would reduce the defense power of their caravan.
Dopp was actually secretly happy in his heart, and he was afraid that if the young master wanted to do it, the berserker would cause big casualties, but now Wang Feng himself sent people away and let go of most of his heart. It's not easy to do it in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, as long as you get to your own bow, there is one less of his personal guards, wait to see how he dies!
