Not long after, Sassoux and Léger hurried back. Léger said with a face full of joy, "I didn't expect that we would be able to travel so far in one night! And the direction is right. We'll reach the west side of the city in another twenty miles or so! "
"The west side … should be safe, right?" Han Jin asked.
"It's fine." Léger nodded. "Even if the Vampire Guard is gathered here, it'll be hard to take the west side of the city."
"Stillberg, go tell the villagers that the west side of the city is just ahead. Tell them to keep moving."
"Yes, Young Master." Stillberg jumped up and ran to the back.
"Léger, are you okay?" Han Jin's gaze fell on Léger.
Léger was surprised, but he immediately understood what Han Jin meant. He pondered for a while and said, "Don't worry, they won't recognize me. I have my own way."
"Good. Everyone, get ready." Han Jin glanced around and said, "Sylvia, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Everyone was surprised, especially Morrisons, who was half-awake. He opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at Han Jin.
Sylvia didn't care about anything and followed Han Jin to the side. Han Jin only said a few words, and Sylvia's face suddenly turned red. Her actions became even more bashful and shy.
Morrisons's eyes widened, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He scratched his ears and cheeks. He wanted to rush over with his greatsword and ask what was going on, but he trusted Sylvia and Han Jin. He was in a dilemma.
Even Sunier was curious. She held her breath, and her two pointed ears moved from time to time, trying to find the voice.
"You don't know, but Morrisons is going crazy … Don't look, don't look … This means that Morrisons really cares about you … Haha, if I do something, he might rush up and kill you … I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but you shouldn't do this … Unless you want to chase Morrisons away from you … Dealing with men is like taming a horse. You can't always hold onto the reins, and you can't always use the whip … Do you know what men usually put first when evaluating women? Gentleness … Women can be ugly, but they can't not be gentle … Try this method, you'll be surprised … "
Sunier almost laughed out loud. She couldn't help but look at Morrisons sympathetically. Morrisons was nowhere near Han Jin's intelligence. With Han Jin helping Sylvia, Morrisons' future … should be very bleak.
After a while, Han Jin and Sylvia came back. Morrisons hurriedly asked, "You two, what were you talking about over there?"
"We were talking about the mercenary group." Han Jin smiled. He couldn't tease Morrisons anymore. Otherwise, he might really turn hostile.
"It's none of your business!" Sylvia proudly rolled her eyes at Morrisons. She could see that Morrisons was very nervous and anxious. She was secretly delighted.
"I … Why can't I care?" Morrisons was even more anxious. The key was Sylvia's expression just now. He had known Sylvia for so many years, but he had never seen Sylvia show such a shy expression. He felt like his chest was going to explode.
"Ahem …" Han Jin coughed dryly. What a waste of words! He had repeated countless times just now. Women have to be gentle, gentle, gentle, gentle. Did Sylvia listen carefully?!
"Aiya!" Sylvia suddenly reacted. She tried her best to put on an affectionate expression and even winked at him. "There are so many people here … I'll talk to you later, okay? Can you please … "
Sassoux and the others were all stunned. They were familiar with Sylvia, who was always energetic. When had Sylvia ever shown such an expression? Even Morrisons was stunned. After a while, he stuttered, "You … Are you alright? Did you accidentally get bitten by a vampire? "
Sylvia was furious. She wanted to punch Morrisons in the face and stomp on his face. However, Han Jin's words were still beside her ears. She tried her best to control her emotions. She twisted her body and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying …" However, she was a little too strong. She actually knocked Morrisons over.
At this time, the villagers knew that the west side of the city was about twenty miles ahead. They rushed towards Han Jin and the others. Since they were about to part ways, they wanted to express their gratitude. However, they were different from the nobles. They had almost no education and their vocabulary was very limited. They kept saying "thank you" over and over again.
A few of the leaders even asked the villagers to pay Han Jin and the others. However, Han Jin did not care about this small amount of money. He did not protect the villagers for the sake of money. Both sides pushed and pushed for a long time. In the end, Sunier persuaded them that they would not be able to find a job in the west side of the city. They still had to rely on that small amount of money to survive. Only then did the villagers take the money back.
After that, they continued to drag things out for a long time. Han Jin's head was sweating. He was not used to this kind of scene and was a little annoyed. The other side said, "Thank you." This side said, "You're welcome." The other side said "thank you" again. He said "don't be so polite" again. Then the other side said "thank you" again … In the end, Han Jin was speechless. He wanted to hit someone.
After sending the villagers off with great difficulty, Han Jin purposely waited for a while to avoid bumping into them again. They first went to the village in front of them to have some food before continuing on the main road.
Other than Han Jin who was a little listless, everyone was in a good mood. After all, they had rested for a whole night. They chatted and laughed loudly as they hurried on. Morrisons had already forgotten about the unpleasantness just now. He chatted happily with Sylvia and even walked at the front. Perhaps this was the instinct of a warrior. The others could just watch from behind …
If they had known that there were countless Vampires gathered thirty miles behind them, desperately searching for something, they would have started running away.
Due to their special physique, vampires would not sweat under normal circumstances. However, the vampire named Blake was sweating profusely at this moment. His hands and feet were trembling slightly.
"You still haven't found it?" Caroline said coldly. In order to catch the culprit and avenge her child, she did not hesitate to personally participate in the pursuit. "Why don't you look elsewhere?"
"My Lady, they can't have gone far!" Blake replied firmly. "There are almost 400 of them in total. They don't have any carriages. Although we are trapped by that strange magic formation, they can't have gone more than 10 miles in this period of time. I'm guessing … they must be hiding in the magic formation!"
"You're saying that they're still nearby?"
"Definitely, my Lady. I'm willing to guarantee it with my life!"
"Mm." Caroline nodded slightly. She trusted her subordinate's judgment.
That team was made up of a mercenary team and hundreds of villagers. If the mercenary team did not care about the lives of the villagers and escaped alone, they might be able to escape far away. However, it was impossible for the villagers to escape, and it was impossible for all of them to disappear. They must be hiding somewhere.
On the other side, Han Jin and his companions were approaching the West City. After the internal division of the Beitman, all the castellans had spared no expense in running their own nests. The defense facilities of the West City were not much worse than those of the capital Beitman City. The tall city walls were all built with special bricks, which were the corundum made by alchemists. They had extremely strong physical and magical defense. Two Magic Crystal Cannons were placed near each city gate. As for the power of the Magic Crystal Cannons, the distance, and the equivalent consumption of the magic crystals, these were military secrets.
Behind the city walls, there were rows of Magic Defense Towers and Arrow Towers. Such a grand scene would make people dumbfounded. It even made people wonder if there were so many magicians in the West City.
The city gate was heavily guarded. About hundreds of fully armed soldiers were checking the pedestrians. The outside of the city was crowded with people who wanted to enter, but almost no one wanted to leave. The news of the large-scale invasion of the Vampire Guard had spread out. Although the West City did not have enough soldiers to encircle and annihilate the vampires, it should not be a problem to protect the main city. Of course, this depended on how determined the vampires were.
After waiting for a long time, it was finally Han Jin and his companions' turn. When the soldiers of the West City saw the badge on Morrisons' chest, they immediately smiled and welcomed Han Jin and his companions in without even checking.
They knew that if the vampires really wanted to besiege the West City, these mercenaries would definitely help the West City. In the past, they did not welcome mercenaries. The mercenaries were too flamboyant and did not like to be restrained. They would cause trouble every day. But now, they really hoped that the mercenaries would gather in the West City. If there were enough mercenaries, they could spread out the regular army and launch a counterattack.
In the past six months, Han Jin had been to a few places, but he had never been as welcomed as he was now. The commander of the city gate actually sent four high-ranked warriors to lead the way for Han Jin and his companions. They were very concerned about their well-being. When they found out that Han Jin and his companions did not want to stay in a hotel and wanted to rent a courtyard by themselves, one of the high-ranked warriors ran out. It did not take long for him to contact Han Jin and his companions to find a place to stay.
The property of the courtyard was owned by a small businessman. He also wanted to be neighbors with some professionals, so the rent was very cheap. It was only a little more than one gold coin a month.
Before the warriors left, they tactfully discussed with Han Jin. They hoped that Han Jin and his companions would report to the city hall. If the vampires launched a large-scale attack on the West City, they would resist with the other mercenaries in an organized manner. If there was no organization, it would be very chaotic. Han Jin and his companions agreed to this request without hesitation. They had endured all the way here. They had a deep understanding of the cruelty and violence of the vampires. If the West City was breached, the people would be plunged into misery and suffering. It was only right for them to contribute. (To be continued.
