"Caesar!"
Baku's voice rang out in the stronghold in the morning. Caesar frowned and walked out of the wooden house with the crystal spear in his hand. His wooden house was built on a tall rock, and a wooden fence was built along the edge of the rock. Caesar held onto the wooden fence and looked down at Baku.
Baku shouted, "I've discussed it with a few brothers. We must return the favor to Sur City. Caesar, we have to fight! "
Caesar sighed in his heart and waved his hand, "Can I talk to you alone?"
Baku walked up and went into the room with Caesar. In the room, the sunlight outside the window shone on the skeleton of the Baymonds' ancestor. This was their sacred object. Baku fell to the ground and worshipped the sacred object before standing up.
"Baku, I understand your feelings. But it's not good for us to do so. "Caesar said.
Baku's chest rose and fell, "Is it good to stay here all the time? That will only make the people of Sur City look down on us. They will think that the Baymonds are cowards that can be bullied at will! "
"But that will only lead to war, a real war."
"Didn't they start a war two years ago? Caesar, the war had already started two years ago. Don't you want to avenge your son? Or have the past two years made you weak? "
Caesar walked over, and his eyes gradually became fierce. "Are you questioning me? Questioning the leader of this tribe? Baku, who gave you such power! "
The crystal spear landed heavily on the ground with a muffled thud, causing Baku's heart to skip a beat. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Baku will never doubt you, my lord."
Caesar sighed and put his hand on Baku's shoulder. Their foreheads touched, and Caesar said, "I'm like you, Baku. My heart is also filled with anger and sadness. I can't forget the image of Gemma lying in my hand and closing her eyes. Yes, I can see that image almost every night. "
"But hatred cannot change the truth. More importantly, hatred will drag our clansmen into hell. Are we going to drag the entire clan to hell for the sake of our anger? I can't do it, brother. "
Releasing Baku, Caesar shook his head and said, "So, don't think about it anymore. Can you promise me?"
Baku lowered his head. "Alright, I promise you."
Leaving the wooden house, Baku came to a room with the skulls of wild beasts. He pushed the door open and entered. This was his house. Two years ago, there had been his joy and happiness in this room. Two years later, there was only sorrow and endless resentment. There were four or five people in the room waiting for his news, and when they saw Baku enter, they suddenly stood up.
Baku shook his head and said, "Caesar is no longer the Caesar he used to be. He has become weak and has no fighting spirit. He refused to fight, but I couldn't do nothing. Sooner or later, the army of Sur City will come. Only by killing their City Lord can we end all of this. "
He lowered his voice and roared, "Who wants to go with me? To avenge those bastards who killed our family! Even if the road ahead is hell, I will willingly embrace it! "
The men nodded solemnly. Thus, that morning, a group of people quietly left the stronghold.
The morning after Baku and the others left, Allen also left the camp and prepared to head for Sur City. Along with Belmore, William, and Edward, there was also a magician, Jim, in the team. Jim's injured arm had been treated as necessary by Father Miro, but the priest's first aid in the field was clearly inadequate, making Jim's arm, which was bound with sterile bandages, look like a swollen hoof.
Allen and the others changed into the clothes they had plundered from the adventurers to conceal their identities. Of course, it took Lucy and Adele a day for the two girls to wear their clothes closer to their bodies. Otherwise, Allen and the others would have been able to leave yesterday.
From Jim's mouth, he learned that Sur City's more advanced industry was the cotton spinning industry. Farmers grow cotton outside the city, and after the harvest, they hand it over to the handicrafts in the city for processing. Finally, they weave cotton cloth and sell it in other cities. This was one of the main industries in Sur City, and Edward suggested that they bring their clothes and pretend to be cotton merchants from afar. This was a good entry point.
The only one who knew their identities was Jim, but looking at the way he looked at Allen and Belmore, the chances of the magician betraying them were almost zero.
Jim was familiar with the Ash Mountain Range. It seemed that they had done enough work before attacking the Baymond stronghold. At noon, they rested by the river. Jim sat alone and put bread into his mouth with his other hand.
"Do you want water?" Allen handed over a kettle.
Jim hesitated for a moment before taking it. Allen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Jim, follow me well. Soon you will know that you have made a very wise choice. I will give you wealth that you could not have imagined when you were an adventurer, provided that you are loyal. "
The magician immediately jumped up and clenched his fist on his chest. He bowed and said, "Jim is willing to be loyal to you forever, my young master."
"Then, who is your master?" Allen asked.
Jim rolled his eyes and smiled, "Young Master Allen, who inherited a textile empire and came all the way from afar, didn't he?"
"That's right, that's it. At that time, we will have some factories. I think you will be happy to take care of them for me? "
Jim's potential in Origin Energy was limited. Such a person growing to Level 15 was already the limit. This could be seen from the fact that he was almost thirty years old, but he hadn't even broken through to Level 11. Rather than letting him be a half-baked combatant, it would be better for him to manage a local business for himself in the future. For a native born and raised local, this was a more suitable job for Jim.
After seeing Allen's well-equipped guards and the imposing "Knight", Jim knew very well that his talent in magic was of no value to Allen at all. Now that he heard Allen's prompt, he immediately agreed cleverly.
Jim had an indefinite wait for this young master, and the main reason was that he had never seen a starship before, which made him believe that Allen's potential was limitless. At the very least, he was much stronger than his boss who had been killed.
The leaves of the forest suddenly swayed, indicating that someone was approaching. Allen gestured for everyone to gather. Suddenly, a figure appeared from the other side of the river for Caesar. Caesar was also stunned when he saw Allen. "My friend, why are you dressed like this?"
"Brave Caesar, we are heading to Sur City." Allen smiled.
Caesar said warily, "What are you going to Sur City for?"
"Don't worry, we won't betray our friends. However, we are also merchants. Obviously, we can't do any business in the Ash Mountain Range. "Allen said.
Caesar did not doubt this statement. Seeing the doubt in his eyes dissipate, Allen asked, "Why are you here? This place is a little far from the stronghold."
"We're going to Sur City." Caesar said, "Baku and the others left yesterday. Someone said they were heading for Sur City. Caesar had to stop them from bringing disaster to the stronghold."
Edward frowned slightly. "I'm afraid you won't be able to make it if you leave now. And if you appear again, it will only deepen the misunderstanding. "
Caesar sighed, "I know, but I have to do this."
Allen said, "Well, we have to go to Sur City anyway. If we see Baku, we'll persuade him to come back. "
"In that case …" Caesar threw out the crystal spear in his hand and it landed at Allen's feet. "Please take it with you. If Baku refuses to come back, show him this thing," he said.
Allen knew that this should be a keepsake. He nodded and put away the spear. "I will return it to you with Baku."
"Thank you, friend."
Caesar looked deeply at Allen and brought his clansmen back the way they came.
At dusk, on a high slope, Baku had no eyes. Not far below the slope, one could see a group of tall and low buildings. That was Sur City. Strictly speaking, the size of Sur City could only be considered a town. However, the City Lord, Baron York, was overjoyed and unwilling to admit that his territory was just a big town, so he changed it to a city.
Sur City was protected by a loose defensive wall, and the buildings in the city could not be said to be planned, so the streets looked twisted from afar. Apart from a stone brick road that led from outside the city to the City Lord's Mansion, which looked more orderly, there was no other place in the city that could be called a main road. This was also the main road of Sur City, and there were many workshops and shops on both sides of the main road. The merchants and people with some power in the city were all concentrated on this main road, so it was also the most prosperous area in the city.
As night fell, both sides of the main road were brightly lit. As for the edge of the city, it was pitch black. That was the slums of the city. The people there didn't need luxurious things like electric lights. Of course, the brightest light was the City Lord's Mansion. It was a three-story building, a bit like a small castle, with a main building, wing towers on both sides, and a small square surrounded by a low wall.
Baron York lived in the City Lord's Mansion, which was also Baku and the others' target tonight. Baku pointed at the target, and the five Baymonds behind him nodded. Then, a group of six descended the hillside and took advantage of the night to head towards Sur City. Unfortunately, their assassination operation did not seem to be going smoothly. Not long after, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard near the city wall, mixed with the curses of soldiers.
When a group of Knight Guards arrived at the scene, Baku and the others were all captured. They were taken away by the city guards and thrown into prison to await trial. Their fate was almost predictable. They would either be sentenced to death or sent to work as slaves in the mining area until they died.
