After Dahl and them joined the Mercenary Group to participate in this escort mission, ten days have passed, and the mercenary group of forty people plus the merchant group of nearly 100 people are slowly advancing on the main road, through the observation of the past few days, it seems that the Miller merchant group should be transporting cloves, pepper, garlic and other seasonings, for the port city of Duofan, these are indeed comparable to gold goods, and the rest of the things are some luxury ornaments used by the aristocratic crowd at that time, so it seems that a strong guard is indeed needed, and the value of these things is very considerable.

And the only bright spot in the merchant group is the girl named Angel, it is said that she is the eldest daughter of Smith Miller, the owner of the Miller Merchant Group, known as the genius girl, only eighteen years old has already managed the Miller Merchant Group in an orderly manner, although its own force is only the second order of the Earth Realm, but driven by a huge amount of money, many masters will serve in their family, I heard that there are also masters of the Holy Domain, which may also be the reason why the Miller Merchant Group can be entrenched on the mainland for many years.

Along the way, Sherlock went to chat with Angel from time to time, maybe he really liked this girl, maybe there was some other reason, and Angel obviously also had a good impression of Sherlock, but the face of the old housekeeper Ohm on the side was not very good-looking, and he was always panicked and worried.

And Dahl was also very pleasant, he seemed to like the atmosphere of the mercenaries very much, and he was now in a good relationship with the people of the Mercenary Regiment.

"I said, Dahl, how did you find the chest hair so easily last time, his stealth technique is not necessarily found by people of the eighth order. A warrior named Meat Dic said.

"My nose is very sensitive, I can smell him, your body shape can disappear, but the body odor can't. Dahl said as he ate the food he had brought from the Commander.

"Isn't this the same as a monster? ”

"Yes, I used to live in the Warcraft Forest with my teacher for a long time, so I worked out. Dahl said disapprovingly.

"How dangerous it is to live in the Monster Forest!" said another priest named Xiaoyu, the same female priest who had been in the tavern that day without much conversation.

"Practice, the teacher said, only in dangerous places can human potential be stimulated, so I went. ”

"I don't want a teacher like Yujian. Dick said.

"So your strength has not been able to go up, people can only improve their strength by honing themselves, how can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain?" said Sister Hua, who suddenly appeared.

"Deputy Commander, is there something wrong?" the group asked.

"We're about to reach the White Fox Territory ahead, now the Sun Empire and the Jetalence Empire are in a state of war, don't get into trouble for a while, our task is to escort, and the safe passage is our purpose, especially you, Mr. Dahl. ”

"Weishenme is me?" Dahl asked, puzzled.

"You look like a restless person. Sister Hua said.

"Well, what's that white fox collar?" Dahl asked.

"I suddenly discovered, Mr. Dahl, your common sense is so bad that the White Fox Collar doesn't even know?" Xue Hua shook her head and said, "The White Fox Collar is an important territory of the Sun Empire, it is the largest grain production base of the Sun Empire, and half of the grain of the entire country comes from here, so there will also be a large number of troops here, even if it is in a state of war now, the army here will not be less than 100,000." ”

When Dahl heard this, he couldn't help but have an idea, he simply said a few perfunctory words, ran to Freo's side, and whispered: "Uncle, should we go to the White Fox Collar for a turn, I heard that this is the food center of the Sun Empire, are we ......?"

"No, Dahl, the three of us are too small to do anything here, and we can't reveal our identities. Freo said.

"Oh, got it. Dahl said disappointed.

"Dahl, why do I think you're very belligerent?" said Freo.

"I don't know, lately I've been feeling like there's a nameless fire in my body, and I'm always trying to do something to vent. While the two were chatting, there was a sudden commotion at the front of the convoy.

"What's the matter, go over and see. The people behind them stepped forward, only to see that the convoy had stopped in front of a pipe truck, and a man of about thirty grades was arguing fiercely with the soldiers on the other side about this.

"We only have to pay five gold coins every time we pass through here, when does it become fifty?" said the man.

"That was before, didn't you know that we were at war? It didn't cost anything to fight? So what's so strange about raising taxes?" said a very obscene-looking officer.

"What do you have to do with your war with Jetalense, we are the Miller Merchants, don't you know?"

"The Miller merchant group is a fart, and if you don't pay it, you can't pass it. The officer said disapprovingly, and then he saw Sherlock and Angel appearing behind him, who had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life, and immediately showed a perverted face.

"If you don't want to pay, you can let that woman stay with me for one night, even if you pay the tax. The officer pointed at Angel and said, and the man looked at the man he was pointing at and became furious, and he yelled, "That's our eldest lady, you bastard." ”

"Why, do you still want to beat me?, come on, surround me, I suspect they are Jatharens' spies!" the officer shouted, and then more than a hundred soldiers rushed out, confronting the Miller Merchant Regiment and the Easy Mercenary Regiment. Although the other party is an ordinary soldier, if he does it, he will be charged with attacking the soldiers of the Empire, which is a very bad thing in this period.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves from inside the checkpoint, and I saw a girl with a look no less than Angel riding a white horse approaching, a silver-haired boy following on the right, and a middle-aged strong man with a height of at least two meters behind them. When the obscene officer saw the visitor, he immediately put on a flattering smile, hurriedly ran over, knelt down and said, "The lower officer does not know the arrival of the county lord, please atone for his sins." ”

"No need to pretend, Will, I saw it all. The girl spoke, "When did my father's tax become fifty gold coins, I don't know, Remy, do you know?"

"I don't know, miss, but Mr. Will has just gone up. I'm also curious, when did Mr. Will have this right?" said the silver-haired young man on the side, while looking playfully at Will, who was already sweating profusely in front of him.

"Miss, I was wrong, I was really wrong, you let me go. Will suddenly fell to the ground and began to cry, his apparently self-enriching behavior would be punished extremely severely in the White Fox Collar, and it would cause disaster to his family.

"Take him away, I don't want to see him again. The girl said Wan, rode towards Angel, and then jumped down neatly, "Sister Angel, you are finally here, you want to kill me!"

"Isabella, long time no see. ”

"What is the situation? They know each other?" Dahl asked on the side, and the old butler Ohm said, "When my lord came here a few years ago, he became friends with Lord Rem, the White Fox Lord, and Miss Isabella naturally got to know each other. ”

"Who is that boy? I feel like he's very strong. Dahl continued.

"Remy is the adopted son of Lord Rem and Miss Isabella's bodyguard and attendant, it is said that he is now nineteen years old, has reached the eighth order of the realm, and is a well-known genius boy. Ohm said.

"Eighth order, hehe. ”

After Isabella's adjustment, the two sides cleared up the misunderstanding, and then she invited Angel and other main characters to her home as guests, and it happened that the team also needed to rest, so she stayed here for a few days.

"Uncle, do we have enough time?" Sherlock asked, although he had been with Angel for the past few days, he had not forgotten his mission, and he asked Freo about the team's actions.

"Time is enough, Your Highness, it's just you...... Well, I am. Freo wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"I know, uncle, I'm measured myself. Sherlock, of course, knew it was about Angel, and he sighed, and at this time, Dahl walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, I've got your back, brother." ”

“xiexie！”

At this time, Angel and Isabella, as well as the little boy Aluth, Angel's brother, were chatting with Remy in the room.

"So, Sister Angel, do you have feelings for that Mr. Sherlock, and he may still be a nobleman?" Isabella was surprised, she knew how high her friend's vision was, and it was incredible that such a thing could happen at first sight.

Angel's face was now like a ripe red apple, and he lowered his head and whispered, "I don't know, when I first met him, my heart felt like I was caught by something, and he jumped so fast." ”

"But sister, do you know his details, and Uncle Rem won't agree to this, after all, you ......," Isabella said.

"I know, so I don't know what to do. ”

"What do you think, Remy?" Isabella asked Remy beside her.

"Miss Angel is the one standing next to you, is he the one standing next to you, I think he is very temperamental, very powerful, his words and deeds are not a mercenary, he is definitely a well-educated nobleman. "However, his current status is that of a mercenary, and if Miss Angel insists on being with him, Mr. Miller will certainly not agree, because the status difference is too much, which is a sadness of this age." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, but no one noticed.

"But, Sister Angel, I've got your back. Isabella laughed.

"I know!"

At this time, in the White Fox Lord's Lord's Mansion, Lord Rem looked at the territory that had not been seen, shook his head and sighed. The clerk on the side brought him a cup of coffee and said, "My lord, pay attention to rest." ”

"I know, but there's been so much going on lately that I don't have time to rest. Ever since Bixia started the war against Jetalens, our food supply has been in a tight state, I really don't understand Bixia's intentions, Weishenme will start a war at such a time, doesn't he know the current situation of our Solar Empire?"

"Bixia's thoughts are really not something we can guess. The clerk said.

"Our empire has just experienced two major natural disasters, the problem of food and clothing for the people has not been solved, and in some places they can't even eat the minimum quota of food for a family of three, but they have poured all their strength into the war against Jetalens, saying to the outside world that our food supply has always been maintained to the best, but only we know that now there are many soldiers on the front line who only have one bread a day, and how much food reserves are there for the white fox collar?"

"My lord, our remaining strength is probably only enough to equip a complete group army, and the number of soldiers participating in the battle in front is as high as nearly a million, which is not enough in any case. The clerk said.

"This is an order from the front command last night, you see. Mistress Rem said.

The clerk took a look at it and said, "My lord, are they not joking, they want us to supply at least half a million troops with rice, wheat and other supplies within a week, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law?"

"I asked someone to ask General Celestia at the front, and his tone was very tough, and he did mean that. ”

"What is this for, don't our people need to eat?"

"The only way now is to recruit the people's grain stocks, and then collect all the grain that can be harvested and the remaining grain stocks and send them to the front line. ”

"My lord, aren't they afraid of causing a popular uprising?" said the clerk.

"Who knows, I feel that the top brass of our empire is like crazy now, completely irrational, what is the meaning of this war?" Rem asked puzzled, people like him, many people in the Sun Empire currently have the same idea, what is going on in this country now.

At this time, after getting the authorization of the mercenary group, Dahl came to the market of the white fox collar, and he was really bored, so he came out to walk around.

Looking at the place where there were not many people in front of him, Dahl couldn't help but think: Isn't this the food center of the Sun Empire? Their living conditions should be very good, weishenme couldn't feel this from people's faces.

I saw a cloth vendor sitting there with a sad face on his face, the good fabrics from the Republic of Ankari that he had high hopes for have not been cared for to this day, and now he can't even fill his stomach, who will come to buy these things, and there are three children waiting to eat at home.

"Why do you look so sad, uncle?" Dahl asked.

"Now we can't even eat a full meal here, so we will definitely be worried. The peddler said.

"How can this be, isn't the White Fox Collar a food producer, how can it not be eaten?" Dahl asked, puzzled.

"You're a foreigner, right?" the peddler asked, seeing Dahl nodding, he gritted his teeth and said: "It's not this damn war, the soldiers on the front line have to eat, so all our quotas have been snatched away by the army, yes, it's robbery, they are like robbers, even so, they still keep urging us to eat, if it weren't for the lord to share the savings of many years among our people, now the white fox leader is afraid that many people will starve to death, I heard that the nobles and lords of the empire are all clothed and fed, right, they are human beings, are we not human?" ”

The hawker's words were like a fuse, and the other vendors next to him rebuked the unfair treatment of the state, and Dahl on the side heard their conversation and thought to himself.

Suddenly, a beating and scolding came from behind him, and he turned his head to see several soldiers not far away punching and kicking a fruit vendor, who was curled up on the ground and begging for mercy.

"Bastard, do you dare to ask me for money for eating a few rotten watermelons? Lao Tzu didn't spend any money to go to Wuji Restaurant in the imperial capital, looking for death!" As he spoke, he kicked hard with his foot, and several soldiers next to him sneered there, kicking a few times from time to time.

"My lord, spare your life, I, I won't ask you for money, you can take it if you want to eat. The vendor cried.

"You have to give us money, bastard, you have to pay for delaying Lao Tzu's patrol!" said the soldier.

"I pay, I pay!" The peddler could only bow his head and make amends for his own survival.

"Uncle, I am a very kind person, you can pay me ten gold coins. The soldier said casually.

"Ten, ten gold coins, my lord, I can't earn ten gold coins a month!" said the peddler, "this is a robbery!"

"Bastard, dare to fight back!" said the soldier, drawing his sword and slashing at the peddler's head. At this moment, a large hand reached out from the side and firmly grasped the blade of the knife, so that it could not move a single bit.
