Chapter 163: The Situation

Just when it was less than a few hundred meters away from Greenwood Town, a small group of cavalry drove out of the town and quickly approached in the direction of the convoy.

Soon you can clearly see the appearance of these dozen cavalrymen, they are wearing uniform uniforms, both weapons and horses are typical of the kingdom's army system, it seems that they are the garrison team stationed in Greenwood Town.

At the signal of the cavalry led by the garrison team, the convoy slowly stopped, and Li Ang motioned for the others not to move, jumped off the carriage and waited quietly in place. Having just returned to China, Li Ang didn't want to be troubled if it wasn't necessary, so no matter what the other party's intention was to come, he had to show a certain amount of respect to the army first.

Seeing that the convoy had stopped following their orders, the cavalry was a little less vigilant, and the cavalry led by them urged their horses forward and asked Leon in a loud voice, "What do you do, where did you come from, and where are you going?"

Li Ang shrugged his shoulders, he didn't expect these people to be so vigilant, and they ran over from hundreds of meters away to check, which was a little inconsistent with the previous understanding - except for a limited number of countries on this continent, most countries of mankind will not pay special attention to the flow of people except for special factors such as war, because first, the circulation of people can promote the economy, and second, the really capable people will not be found out by ordinary soldiers at all. A situation like today's one suggests that something special is likely to happen.

"I'm a homeward wanderer, and these people behind me are my retinue. ”

This sentence is the result of his discussion with Kaka and several people, you can call yourself a mercenary group outside the kingdom, and there is an official registration information, but you can't call it that way when you return to the Sver Kingdom, after all, the purpose of Leang's return is to get back his title and territory, and if he is commensurate with the head of the mercenary group, it is a little too child's play in the eyes of some big people, and if he lets people with ulterior motives seize the handle and attack, it will be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, Kakajian changed the title of the members to followers and subordinates, and Leon's title should be added with the words "future Earl Campbell" at the appropriate time to leave a predetermined impression on others.

This establishment was approved by all the members of the mercenary group, and Eric's eyes showed even more eagerness, for him, a member of a mercenary group and a subordinate of a future earl were completely two different concepts.

Of course, the elves are indispensable, and it doesn't matter to them who Leon is, what matters is whether he can keep his promise all the time.

It was the first time that Erin had heard of Li Ang's identity, and although her expression had not changed, after many previous contacts, Li Ang clearly saw an extremely curious look in the eyes of the black-haired girl.

Therefore, the future young count has a deep sense of identity with the phrase "see the essence through the phenomenon".

Later, Caterina also found an opportunity to stand alone in front of Li Ang and encouraged him: "Li Ang, you set a goal when you left, and now that we are back, your goal will definitely be achieved, and I will always stand behind you to support you!"

When she said this, the knight girl's face was still a little red, but her eyes were bright and firm.

"Always support me......" Li Ang remembered this sentence again, and immediately began a reverie.

But he was immediately pulled back to reality by a question.

"Home, are you from the Kingdom?"

The light blue standard light armor sets off the figure of the cavalry on the opposite side very straight, and at the same time shows the temperament of a soldier, he should be forty or fifty years old, and he is still in middle age in this world, it is the age when his body and energy begin to gradually decline, but his experience and experience are already quite rich.

So when he heard the other party say this sentence with an indifferent expression and tone, he didn't have much doubt, but the other party was just a teenager, and there seemed to be at least twenty people in the carriages behind him, could it be that he was the son of a nobleman who traveled abroad?

"Yes, I just left through Greenwood a little over a month ago. ”

Hearing this, the cavalry suddenly had some impressions.

There weren't many strangers in Greenwood Town, most of them were local mercenary groups, supply teams coming and going to border fortresses, and small caravans, so when the young man on the other side said this, he remembered that just a month or two ago, there were indeed a few strange young people who appeared in the town. He remembered that the men had a dispute in the tavern, and finally found Jack, a veteran of the town, and ran outside without knowing what to say, and when he arrived with the people, the young men had already left, leaving only a few backs.

Since the other party's words were consistent with his own memory, proving that what the young man said was indeed true, the cavalryman's attitude was a little better, and his tone softened, and asked, "Your name is ......"

"Leon. ”

"I'm Matt, the captain of Greenwood's security team. ”

Out of courtesy, the cavalry also reported his name, but because Greenwood was outside of Campbell's territory, and the name Leon was not special, he didn't think of any other connection from the name at all.

"I remember you, Leon, but can the other people in the carriage show me?"

Matt said a little cautiously, he always felt that this young man named Li Ang was a little unusual, if he was not a noble child, at least he was a descendant of a wealthy family, otherwise how could there be so many retinues who came back with him, young people like this who have some backgrounds at a young age generally eat soft and not hard, Matt's term as the captain of Greenwood Town is coming soon, maybe he will be promoted to a level in the general team, he doesn't want to offend anyone inexplicably at this juncture.

However, he was also a little faintly worried, when the other party left, it seemed that something had happened, and when he came back after two months, he brought a large group of people with him, could it be that he was going somewhere to find trouble?

With this concern, Matt proposed to take a look at the other party's entourage, at least to remember their characteristics, and in the future, if something happens to him, he will have an excuse.

Li Ang felt that this request was not too much, especially the other party's attitude was not bad, so he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture to him.

Matt rode slowly around the convoy, and the windows on the carriage were large enough that he could see most of the people inside.

"Most of them are young men, and there are quite a few elves, who all seem to have slave marks," Matt thought to himself, "These are all bought by him from out of town? ”

"And a dwarf? It's not very common......

After a turn, Matt deliberately looked at the thirty or so horses around the convoy that seemed to have mixed bloods, and then returned to Leon and signaled to him that the convoy could move on.

Instead of returning to the carriage, Leon walked next to the driver, and as the convoy marched, he asked Matt, who was slowly following him, "Is there something that has happened recently?"

"Huh?" Matt's face tensed immediately, but quickly relaxed, "What did you hear?"

"No, it's just that you're a little different from before, and in general, the security team wouldn't go out of their way to check a convoy of only five vehicles. Li Ang decided to talk to the other party, it was best to know what had happened to make them so nervous, and see if it would be related to their own purpose.

Matt was silent for a moment, he felt that Leon had lived in the neighborhood for at least a while, which was why he knew so much about the habits of the security team.

Since the other party asked, it doesn't matter if you say it, after all, this matter has already spread around.

"Well, there's been a lot of trouble lately," Matera said, pulling the reins and letting the good ** equipped with the guard team slow down a little.

"Just over a month ago, several nobles in the kingdom were assassinated in a row, and none of the murderers were caught, and I don't know if there was any connection between them, I don't know if you have heard of it, even the earls of nearby Campbell Territory died in this assassination operation. ”

"And Count Campbell is the worst, his relatives all died in this assassination, so to speak," Matt sighed, "their murderers are also missing, as a garrison stationed in every town, we have been asked to raise the alert level to the highest level since more than a month ago, and now it is much better, otherwise each of you will have to be registered." ”

Leon was shocked by the unusually rich information contained in the other party's words, and couldn't help but have a surprised look on his face, and these two questions kept circling in his mind - "Several nobles have been assassinated in a row, including Earl Campbell?"

"You're from the southwest?" Matt asked suddenly.

Li Ang suppressed his feelings and replied to the other party in as flat a tone as possible.

"Is that the direction of the Land of Chaos?" Matt said with doubts, but it was clearly just a casual remark, his focus on the latter words.

"Then you shouldn't have run into those crazy thugs, and you're lucky. ”

"How?" asked Leon, realizing that there might be something else.

"I don't know how, in recent times, even the bandits in the Pale Mountains seem to have been stimulated, and often run in groups to attack those border towns in groups, and even creatures such as goblins and kobolds, which are rarely seen in ordinary times, will run over and attack, so the border fortress has deployed all its standing forces on the border line, hoping to contain this situation. ”

"So, if you don't have anything else to do, you might as well leave Greenwood Town for the sake of your safety. ”

Matt's attitude was very sincere, and what he said was also the truth, but it was just a little exaggerated, and the purpose was of course to let Leon leave early, and let him worry about it earlier.
