After Sean left, William and Jim helped Baku and the others untie the chains. After Baku untied his hands and feet, he took out a ball of dirty cloth from his mouth and threw it on the ground. He roared at Allen, "Who's your slave!"
Allen said coldly, "That's just an expedient measure. If you don't say that, do you think you can yell at me here right now?"
"You don't need to save the Baymonds!"
"Of course, it's just that Caesar doesn't want his brother to become a prisoner. That's why I saved you." Allen took out Caesar's crystal spear and threw it to Baku. "He wants you to take it back yourself."
Looking at the crystal spear, Baku's chest rose and fell, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided. He glared at Allen and said, "I won't be grateful to you. You're no different from those people in the city! "
"I don't need your gratitude." Allen didn't want to talk to this barbaric man and said, "Can we go now? Or are you going to give Caesar some other trouble? "
Baku opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He picked up his spear and left with a few other clansmen.
"Master, why do you care about these barbarians? They're not good people either. "Jim whispered.
Allen said indifferently, "Mr. Jim, what you have to do is obey my orders, not interfere with my decisions."
Jim hurriedly lowered his head.
At this moment, the rumbling sound of horse hooves came from the wasteland outside the city. Judging from the volume of the sound, it was an army. Allen frowned and gestured for everyone to leave the city gate. Not long after, a tall horse appeared in the mist. The Knight on the horse was wearing polished armor. Even the horse beneath him used thin armor to protect its head and other parts of its body.
Behind the cavalry was a group of soldiers on foot. Their flags had the image of a whirlwind and a castle on them. Seeing the pattern on the flag, Jim whispered, "That's Storm City's army. They have two armies. One is the Gale, the other is the Raging Thunder Knight. The Gale is an infantry regiment, and this army should be. Strange, why would they come here? "
Allen saw that the infantry were still able to maintain their formation during the rapid march. It was obvious that they had received strict training. It was not a good thing that this army had come to Sur City. Allen couldn't help but look in the direction of the Ash Mountain Range.
"Let's go," he said.
Early in the morning, when he heard that Storm City's army had arrived, Baron York got into his ornate carriage and arrived at the city gate under the protection of the city guards. Storm City's army had already set up camp outside the city. A group of cavalry welcomed the baron. On a white horse in the lead, a knight wearing a bright red cloak shouted, "I am Legg, the captain of the Raging Thunder Knights' Division 1. Baron York, Sir Maud sends his regards. "
Baron York frowned. This captain didn't even get off his horse when he saw him. He seemed arrogant and conceited. He snorted, feeling displeased in his heart. However, he still hoped that these people would help him attack the Ash Mountain Range, so he couldn't make things awkward. So he forced a smile and said, "Everyone has worked hard from afar. If you need anything, feel free to tell me."
"It's not hard. We're soldiers. What's the point of suffering?" But Sir Maud has a message for me to convey. "
"Please speak."
Legg smiled and said, "At your invitation, Baron York, we have dispatched a squad of Raging Thunder Knight and five Gale Infantry soldiers. Baron Maud feels that the price you offered before is a little low. He means that Storm City needs another 20%. I wonder what you think? "
Baron York's face instantly flushed red. If he didn't still remember his identity as a Sir, he would probably have cursed in public. His chest rose and fell sharply as he said, "Sir Maud's move is unethical. How can he temporarily increase the price?"
"I'm not sure about that. Why don't you ask him yourself?" There was a trace of contempt on Legg's face.
"I have to reconsider this point," Baron York said.
"Of course, but Lord Baron. I have to remind you that our expenses here must be borne by you according to the agreement. So don't think about it for too long. "After Gao Lei finished speaking, he saluted on his horse and led the cavalry back to the camp.
"Go back." Baron York said with a gloomy expression.
The carriage returned to the City Lord's Mansion. As soon as the baron returned to his study, he immediately flew into a rage. He smashed the thing he had casually picked up onto the ground until he picked up a porcelain bottle with a strong foreign smell. Only then did he stop. Panting heavily, Baron York put the bottle back and roared, "That bastard Maud, he's taking advantage of the situation!"
The butler and another ten-year-old man who heard the voice were silent, not daring to provoke the old Sir when he was angry. After the baron calmed down a little, the butler said, "Sir, we should send a telegram to Sir Maud to reprimand him for his immoral behavior."
York shook his head and sat on the sand. "Reprimand doesn't have any effect at all, and Maud won't take it to heart. In the end, it's all because our Sur City is weak that Mo De doesn't care about. Whether it's wealth or troops, we are no match for Storm City. Otherwise, Mo De wouldn't be so unscrupulous. "
"Uncle, let me go drive those bastards away outside the city!" The man standing beside the butler said.
"Shut up, Ethan. Think about it with your brain. If you fall out with Mo De, it will be even worse for us! "York said angrily," Do you really think the empire's constitution can restrain Mo De? Especially in the outskirts of the empire like ours. Look at how many border Sir territories were annexed last year. You should know that the laws of the empire are not really applicable in every corner of the country. "
"If we fall out with Maud now, the five Gale Warriors and a Raging Thunder Knight squad will not stay outside the city gate, but directly enter the city. Although Sur City is small, Old Man Maud doesn't care about his territory being so small! "
The man hurriedly lowered his head. York waved his hand and said, "Read more when you have time. Don't spend your time with women. Ethan, if it weren't for my brother's entrustment, I wouldn't have raised a piece of trash like you. Scram! "
Ethan clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails almost pierced into his flesh. His chest rose and fell, but he still said calmly, "Yes, Uncle."
He was so quiet that he left.
"Mr. Ethan is also concerned about you." The butler said.
York sneered, "He's more concerned about my position."
After saying that, the old Sir sighed again. He stood by the window and looked at the city gate. As the sun rose, the fog dissipated, and the flag of Storm City was fluttering in the wind. Looking at the flag, York's gaze became even heavier.
It was already two days after returning to the Ash Mountain Range. Baku and the others separated from Allen and went straight back to the stronghold. Before they arrived at the stronghold, someone had already informed Caesar. Caesar was very happy to learn that Baku had returned safely.
However, this time, Baku had gone to Sur City without permission. Caesar could not let it go lightly, otherwise, he would not be able to explain it to his clansmen. So he threw the returning Baku into the dungeon as a punishment. After returning Caesar's crystal spear, Baku had no objection to the punishment and walked into the dungeon.
He had to stay here for ten days.
At night, Caesar came to the dungeon and the two of them looked at each other speechlessly.
A moment later, Baku said, "When we left Sur City, we saw another army. I heard that they are from Storm City. Caesar, those guys will be here soon. "
"How many people are there?"
"I'm afraid there are four or five people."
Caesar was shocked, "So many, we have to inform the others."
Baymond wasn't the only one with Caesar. There were also other villages in the Ash Mountain Range. This mountain was where their ancestors had lived for generations. It was their home, so they naturally didn't want the people of Sur City to invade it.
"Caesar." Baku suddenly said, "Don't trust those strangers. They have dealings with the people of Sur City. There must be another purpose for approaching us! "
Caesar said, "I won't trust them blindly, but don't forget. Up until this moment, they haven't done anything to threaten us, and they even rescued you. Baku, don't let anger affect your judgment. "
Baku did not respond. He just walked back to the depths of the dungeon and buried his figure in the shadows.
Emerging from the shadow of the starship's cabin door, Allen came to the ground and saw that Edward was sitting not far away. The cover of the book was a little worn. It seemed that the book was quite old. Edward looked very serious, but when Allen walked to his side, the Maritans said without waiting for him to ask, "This is a general constitution. It can help us familiarize ourselves with the laws here."
"Where did you get it?" Allen sat in front of him and asked.
"I bought it at the market while you were sleeping. Interestingly, the constitution mentions the country of Bailegan many times and calls itself an empire. In other words, Sur City should also be part of the empire's territory. This place is very remote. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a territory near the border. It's very good for us. " Edward closed the book and said, "For example, if the City Lord here changes, the empire probably won't notice. By the time they react, we might have completely merged with them. "
"Storm City's army may attack the Ash Mountain Range. I have to stay in case those troops discover our camp. So I might have to leave the cooperation with Sean to you. "Allen said.
Edward nodded and said, "Even if you didn't say it, I would have made the suggestion. I have to take another trip to the city and see if there's anyone worth using. "
He waved the constitution in his hand and said, "For us to legally occupy Sur City."
Allen smiled and asked, "Why do you want to join us? From what I can tell, you're doing well in Babylon. There's no need to take risks in the Outer Realm."
Edward smiled and said softly, "I don't want to discuss this now. In short, I will contribute my strength and wisdom during the contract period. You don't have to worry about that. If I do something against you, you can execute me according to the terms of the contract. Otherwise, hand me over to the Federation when you get back. But I don't want to talk about me. "
