Actually, Zhao Hai deliberately told Fuin about Grand Duke Lionheart. He wanted to let Fuin know that he didn't know anything. At the same time, he wanted Fuin to not be able to see through his details. This was just a simple trick.
Sometimes, people shouldn't talk too much, but sometimes, talking too much can make people unable to figure out your details. Just like Zhao Hai, this time, he told Fuin about Lionheart's matter. Naturally, Fuin couldn't figure out Zhao Hai's details. This way, when Zhao Hai cooperates with them in the future, they wouldn't be on equal footing and wouldn't be looked down upon.
After returning to the room, Laura frowned and said to Zhao Hai, "Brother Hai, although the cavalry left today, I'm afraid that they wouldn't let us go. We should prepare early."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Of course they won't let us go. Even if the cavalry doesn't dare to move against us, Grand Duke Lionheart wouldn't let us go. Don't forget, when Fuin said that he wanted to cooperate with us outside the shop, there were a lot of people around at that time. They should know that Grand Duke Lionheart wouldn't let us go. But as long as they don't use their official power to deal with us, then I'm not afraid."
Laura still frowned, "Do you think that Fuin deliberately led us to talk about it? This way, even if Lionheart doesn't want to deal with us, he would have no choice but to deal with us. We would have no choice but to rely on the Shelley Family."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Actually, this isn't a bad thing. We don't have any friendship with Grand Duke Lionheart. Moreover, his way of doing things is too overbearing. I don't want to cooperate with him. Although the Shelley Family is scheming against us, their way of doing things is much gentler. We wouldn't suffer any losses if we cooperate with them. I also deliberately let the people outside know that we're cooperating with the Shelley Family. This way, if Lionheart tries to deal with us, the Shelley Family would feel uneasy. This way, our relationship with them would become closer."
When Laura heard Zhao Hai's plan, she relaxed, but she was still worried, "We just arrived at Rosen Empire, offending Lionheart isn't good, right? If the Shelley Family loses to Lionheart, then what should we do? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Right now, we're gambling. If the Shelley Family wins, then we can further cooperate with them. If the Shelley Family loses, then it doesn't matter. Don't forget, when we go to Sky Water City, we can also get in touch with the Calci Family. The Calci Family is in our alliance, and we're currently working with Bell. With the Calci Family as the middleman, I don't think Grand Duke Lionheart would go too far." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Yes.
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and didn't say anything else. She nodded and said, "What about Ryan? If Grand Duke Lionheart can't deal with us, then wouldn't he make things difficult for Ryan? "
Zhao Hai nodded, "It's possible, but no matter what, Ryan is still the Purcell Duchy's Princess. Moreover, she went to the academy to study. I heard that Rosen Empire's academy has a very high status in their country. Ryan shouldn't have any problems, right?"
Laura nodded, she didn't say anything else. Actually, her impression of Ryan wasn't very good. But because of Evan's face, they couldn't ignore Ryan.
Although Zhao Hai said so, Laura was still worried, "What if those people make things difficult for Ryan in the academy? No matter what, she's still a girl and is unfamiliar with this place. If something really happens to her, I'm afraid she won't be able to find anyone to discuss it with. If something really happens to her, we won't be able to explain it to Grand Duke Evan. "
Zhao Hai sighed, "Then we have no way to help her. Actually, Grand Duke Evan released her this time because he wanted her to face the world independently. He wanted her to know what the world is like. If we help her with everything, then we would be letting the Grand Duke down." Zhao Hai sighed, "Then we can't help her.
Laura froze for a moment, she hadn't thought of this point, but she still nodded in agreement. Grand Duke Evan letting Ruyen out this time was to let her temper herself. If they really helped Ruyen solve everything, then Ruyen wouldn't be any different from the time she was in Casa City.
This night, Zhao Hai and the others were very calm. The cavalry didn't come to find trouble with them. But now, the merchants who were resting in Hundred Battles Fortress already knew about Zhao Hai's name. When they were in Lifeline Canyon, they knew that Zhao Hai was a 7th rank fire element mage. But they didn't think that Zhao Hai's strength wasn't his full strength.
These merchants were now getting more and more curious about Zhao Hai. His strength and his ability to handle matters made Zhao Hai seem like a firefly in the night. Wherever he went, he would be dazzling.
Many large forces began to pay attention to this person that they had never heard of before. These large forces only had one purpose in understanding Zhao Hai, and that was to see if they could pull him into their force. Even if they couldn't pull him into their force, they still wanted to understand him. This way, if they were to become enemies in the future, they would have a way to deal with him.
Zhao Hai didn't know that these large forces were already paying attention to him. He didn't think that there was anything worth paying attention to. The next morning, Zhao Hai and the others had their breakfast. Under Fuin's welcome, they left Hundred Battles Fortress and headed towards Carson City.
Along the way, Ruyen was still as low-key as before. This time, Zhao Hai didn't suspect what she was planning to do. In any case, as long as they send Ruyen to Carson City in about a month, they would be considered to have accomplished their mission and retired.
Rosen Empire's territory was very large, and its population was also very large. Therefore, they didn't need to worry about not having a place to rest along the way. Shue had already stayed in Rosen Empire before, so Zhao Hai had him lead the way. They didn't need to rush along the way, they could take their time to understand the situation inside Rosen Empire.
However, Zhao Hai and the others were very careful when they left Hundred Battles Fortress. In Hundred Battles Fortress, they had lost face with the Knights, so the Knights wouldn't let them off easily. At the same time, Grand Duke Lionheart behind the Knights wouldn't let them off easily.
Although Zhao Hai hadn't seen Grand Duke Lionheart, he already knew how overbearing the Grand Duke was. The more overbearing a person was, the more they wouldn't tolerate people disobeying them, let alone Zhao Hai and the others who slapped their faces.
Moreover, after the incident, Zhao Hai and Fuin were very friendly, as if they already knew each other. This would make Lionheart think that Zhao Hai was a friend of the Shelley Family. In this case, Lionheart would deal with him even more.
After leaving Hundred Battles Fortress, Zhao Hai and the others felt that the atmosphere wasn't right. The road from Hundred Battles Fortress to Carson City should be very busy, but along the way, they didn't see a single person. It was almost as desolate as the Black Wasteland.
Zhao Hai knew that these people wanted to deal with them, but he didn't think that they wouldn't put him in their eyes. They didn't let other people pass through this road, it was clear that they wanted to deal with him. As long as one wasn't an idiot, they would understand that these people daring to do so was equal to dealing with them.
When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he immediately sent Laura and the others to the Space. At the same time, he told Blockhead and the others to be more careful and prepare for battle. He also told Ryan and the others about this situation. Ryan and the others were also very nervous, their strength was far worse than Zhao Hai's.
It has been more than two hours since they left Hundred Battles fortress, but they still haven't encountered any attacks. Not only did they not encounter any attacks, they didn't even meet a single person. This made Zhao Hai and the others feel a lot of pressure. They were very nervous, fearing that the enemy would suddenly attack them.
They weren't too far away from Orchid Mountain. The terrain here was hilly, there were often hills on both sides of the road. Although these hills weren't very high, the trees on them were very lush, they could be used to ambush people at any time.
Among them, Ryan and the others were the most nervous. Zhao Hai and the others were a bit better. Zhao Hai was sitting inside the carriage, looking at the monitor. If there was an ambush nearby, then it shouldn't be able to escape his eyes.
More than two hours had passed, but there was still no sign of a person on the monitor. This made Zhao a little puzzled. He didn't think that those people would be so patient. More than two hours had passed, and they still hadn't made a move.
While Zhao Hai was pondering, suddenly, green dots appeared on the monitor. These green dots were densely packed, there were at least several thousand people on the hills on both sides of the road.
Zhao froze for a moment, then zoomed in on the monitor. This time, he found that the ones who had come out to deal with him were all magic beast cavalry. They were wearing full body armor, with tower shields on their backs, swords in their hands, and spears in their hands. They were using the gentle slopes on both sides of the hills as a foundation to reduce the distance of their charge. They were waiting for them to exhaust themselves.
There weren't any trees on the hills where these Magic Beast Cavalry were. They stood there with their armor reflecting light, allowing Zhao Hai to easily see them. They didn't seem to have any intention of hiding, they just wanted to kill Zhao Hai and the others in broad daylight.
Seeing this situation, Zhao immediately handed the Ghost Cane over to the hawk. He had the hawk take the cane and fly into the sky. He wanted to investigate and see if there were any other ambushes around. If there were no other ambushes, then he could make his move.
