Chapter 25: See Catherine again
Early the next morning, the mercenary group began to set off.
Everyone in the Boulder Mercenary Group got up early. Even that old drunkard from Kruger didn't even get drunk and went to sleep last night.
I saw Freddy reluctantly looking at Tyran, but unfortunately Tyran was definitely going to follow Wren. After all, the god of the forest wanted her to follow Wren.
This made Wren feel dark for a while, even if he didn't like this girl. She is willing to follow herself, and her mood is much better. The pretty girl followed, which I didn't dare to think of before.
Miss Chloe was the first to get up, because she was also the most anxious among everyone. She needed to get to Charlemagne's kingdom as soon as possible. Only the hired mercenaries were still a little reluctant to accept this Milos hospitality.
In short, the team set off despite various emotions. This unremarkable way went directly to Shannan City. Then I found a random hotel to stay. Everyone went to rest, except for Johnson, Wren, and Kruger standing at the door of the inn and chatting.
The shape of Shannan Castle is very similar to Tia Castle, and even the architectural style is very similar. After all, the two cities were actually sister cities.
"Shannan City is actually the largest city in the 66 countries of Shannan. Shannan City is also the capital of Shannan Kingdom. It is said that the original capital of Shannan was not here, but a small town around here, and after the Shannan City was conquered, the sixty-five countries competed with each other, and no one let anyone. In the end, Shannan City was directly taken by the weakest and closest Shannan Kingdom. Shannan is the only country in the entire sixty-six countries with only one city. Kruger introduced Wren, who knew that Wren had not traveled far away. So along the way, I am always willing to take the initiative to introduce him.
"Because the national strength of Shannan is weak and cannot independently undertake the defense of Shannan City, each of the sixty-six countries of Shannan has to bear some military expenses of Shannan City every year. Because the main defense object of the 66 countries in Shannan is the Jose Empire. As long as Shannan City is well guarded, the sixty-six countries of Shannan will be safe and worry-free. But I remember that the commander who led the Sixty-Six Nations to victory over Jose was George Charlemagne of the Kingdom of Charlemagne. Right? Kruger thought about it, but couldn't remember.
"That's right, it's George Charlemagne. Johnson didn't answer, but she didn't know when Chloe, who was standing next to her, rushed to reply.
"After George Charlemagne led the war, he was revered as Charlemagne by the 66 countries of Shannan. The Kingdom of Charlemagne is also known as Charlemagne's Empire. But that's what happened in his generation. The later King Charlemagne generation is not as good as the generation. The emperor name is George the Great, and no one dares to use it again. Chloe said.
Seeing that Chloe knew more than herself, Kruger simply went to find a drink by herself. Only Johnson and Wren were left with them.
Wren suddenly remembered what Milos said last night, Charlemagne is now in a coup d'état, and this Chloe is going to a coup d'état. This couldn't help but make him a little strange.
"Miss Chloe, I've heard that Charlemagne is in the midst of a coup!" Wren said.
Chloe pondered for a while, but then said, "That's right, King Charlemagne is terminally ill and can no longer handle government affairs. His youngest son, Edward, is now under house arrest for Crown Prince Floyd. ”
"What? Charlemagne's coup?" Johnson quickly asked when he heard that Charlemagne had a coup d'état.
"Since there's a coup d'état, Miss Chloe, may I ask what you're going to do there?" Wren asked.
"Because the king left a will, once Crown Prince Freud married, he directly received the throne, which is recognized by the kingdom. It will be possible to save Crown Prince Floyd from coming out. Chloe said. "And I am the crown prince's fiancée. ”
"So Chloe, would you like to marry Floyd?" Wren asked after a moment's thought.
"It's not a question of willingness or not, I have to make the sacrifice I deserve for the sake of my family's business!" Chloe replied.
"If you don't want to, then why bother wading into this troubled water?" Wren shook his head, thought about it, and said anyway.
Some wealthy businessmen on the mainland like to marry their children into the royal family or the royal family, which is just a political marriage.
"Miss Chloe, I must now consider whether or not to continue your escort. Because in essence you are not strictly following the rules and regulations to report your mission objectives. And according to this task procedure, we have to take risks that are far greater than our gains. Johnson was getting impatient at the moment.
"Johnson, perhaps, Chloe has her own troubles. Wren said to Chloe.
"In any case, we sent people to the gates of Charlemagne's royal city, and we didn't care. Johnson left with a few words.
Wren smiled wryly and glanced at Chloe and followed. Only Chloe was left there watching the backs of the two, but she was helpless.
I set off early the next morning, and since I took the job, I had to do it well, which is also Johnson's rules for dealing with the world. Wren couldn't agree more.
It's just that after everyone left Shannan City, they encountered difficulties. Shannanguo is very small, in fact, he is out of the city is a junction with the three countries. Following the directions, they headed for the Kingdom of Charlemagne. As soon as I arrived at the border, I saw that Charlemagne's Royal Guard had sealed the border. It is strictly forbidden for anyone to pass.
Just when everyone was at a loss, they saw Catherine, the deputy head of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment, walking out of the blocked road with a group of people. The man was still dressed in red, but this time it was much thicker. However, the beautiful arc still made everyone a little out of shape. Molia shook her head and silently gave Johnson a kick.
"Catherine!" Johnson shouted. From a man's point of view, Johnson certainly wouldn't hate Catherine.
When Catherine saw that it was Johnson, she hurriedly walked over with the team.
"Johnson... Commander, I hope you can forgive me for what I did back then. Catherine saw Johnson's whole person as a different person.
Seeing that Johnson didn't react to this, Catherine hurriedly said: "Captain Johnson, we don't know about David's affairs, and I think you can see that the people he brought with him are his own team." It doesn't have much to do with the Tiger Mercenary Group. He didn't embarrass you, did he?"
Catherine hurriedly explained. It seems that Catherine did not know that David had been stoned to death by a meteor.
"It's okay. Catherine, where are you from?" Johnson replied.
"Captain Johnson, have you forgotten where the Tiger Mercenaries are registered?" asked Catherine.
"Shannan Kingdom!" Johnson replied.
"It's not about this, it's about the place of registration. Catherine said emphatically.
"Oh. That's Charlemagne, so what's the matter?" Johnson replied, still nonchalantly.
"I was commissioned by Charlemagne's Regent Edward to go to Shannan to ask for reinforcements. Catherine said.
"Lord Regent Edward?" Chloe asked, surprised.
"What's the matter? This young lady looks like Miss Chloe of the Trist family. Catherine took one look at Chloe and recognized it.
