139. I Am Not the Savior
"When are we leaving?"
William went straight in.
"In a hurry?" Sean was a little puzzled, not understanding how William could be so nervous.
"The Roverlan garrison is a new army." William spoke, "And the other side is sending a veteran, the two sides are not on the same level at all, if there is a good commander, it is good to say, but this is exactly what Robflan lacks." …… What do you guess the opposing commanders would do if they found out that Lofelan's defenses were so weak? ”
Hearing William's speculation, Sean immediately understood.
A unit without a banner or number is a bandit army in the eyes of the world. Bandit armies appear from time to time in the territory where the law and order is not good, they burn, kill and loot all kinds of evil, of course, there are people who are forced to do this thing out of desperation, but most of them are not good things in the eyes of people, and some bandit armies are wandering everywhere and never fixed in one place to hunt.
Even if this bandit army is forbidden by order and has the quality of a regular army, and even everyone knows that this "bandit army" is the private army of a nobleman, but there is no actual and conclusive evidence, no one will bring this matter to the table, but directly deal with it as bandits and robbers. The plundered territory can only consider itself unlucky, of course, if you are not convinced, you can also get such a bandit army to plunder the other party's territory.
If you don't break it, you don't know it, this is the favorite unspoken rule among nobles.
A fig leaf.
Bandits attacking a city, or even burning a city down with a fire, is not uncommon on the Miracle Continent. If that army knew that the defense of Raland City was so weak, they would definitely be able to destroy a city in a rival's territory without saying a word, and they would at least feel comfortable physically and mentally.
According to the regulations on the Miracle Continent, once they encounter this non-war mode of siege, any mercenary group, mercenary group, adventure group, or even pioneers and demon hunters resting in the city are obliged to assist in the defense of the city.
In other words, if the opposing army marches towards the city of Lovelan. Sean's troops were obligated to assist in the defense of the city.
"It seems. We couldn't have come at a better time. Sean sighed, "Even if you have to leave now, at least wait until Anno wakes up, right?" ”
"Prepare the carriage." William shook his head, and then began to analyze, "The rhythm of war never changes according to human will, and we are not familiar with the style of the opposing commander, and no one knows when he will fight. So it's better to go early than late. ”
After a moment's hesitation, Sean nodded and immediately set to action.
However, the purchase of horse-drawn carriages did not go well, and many of the carriages in the city had been purchased by Paro and converted into wagons to buy building materials. At the moment, there are not many carriages left in the city. And those rich merchants with horse-drawn carriages may not necessarily be greedy for such a small amount of money, so they sell their means of transportation, only Paro seems to smell something not very good, and at the first time there is news that a dinner party will be held, inviting many merchants and small nobles in the city, and even explicitly saying that it is to thank Sean's army for their contribution at such a critical moment.
And this news, an hour after it came out, became a fact. A beautifully crafted invitation letter was delivered to Sean.
However, the place of invitation. But it was not the City Lord's Mansion as Sean had guessed, but the courtyard of the first wealthy merchant in Roverland City.
That's all. What do you have to do with Sean?
After getting the letter, he glanced at it casually, and Sean threw it away. For him, the situation of the Danawi Realm has nothing to do with him at all, and the fact that Count Danawi's rivals can actually ask for Deaththorn is a very clear revelation of a piece of information in itself - the name of Deaththorn is a well-known name in the Dark World Realm, but everyone in the Dark World Realm has heard of this name, but there are not many people who can find them or ask them for help.
Sean didn't know how the plot of Lou Dao was later solved in the original game, but he didn't want to know Lu Dao.
In the game, there are countless players who will never die and play the role of saviors, they are tireless and will not back down, if they lose, they will die, but if they win, they can reap a lot of rewards and loot. So even if a game story eventually turns into a big scuffle, the people who are most active on the battlefield will still be the players, because they themselves have never-ending potential.
But in this world, there is only one Sean, not a player who will never die.
Tonight in Roverland City seemed to be darker than ever, there was no bright light, and only one mansion in the south of the city was brightly lit. The four gates were closed early, only one north gate was opened, and there were no defenders or pedestrians, and the lonely appearance was like a giant mouth.
Outside the city gates, a young butler, dressed in black and trimmed, waited quietly.
Inside the city gate, a team that marched silently but exuded endless murderous aura.
The young butler looked up and looked at Shaun, who was in the lead.
After a while, the young butler took the lead in bowing his head, looking respectful to his seniors, and said softly: "The city lord said that if you are willing to stay, the position of commander-in-chief of the Ralaffe garrison is yours." ”
Sean shook his head, he walked up to the young butler, looked at the other party very carefully, and then said, "Not interested." ”
Then, there was silence, and neither of them spoke.
Sean's hand waved slightly, and the team moved forward in silence again, William had already asked for directions from the inhabitants of Lovelan, the elf lived on the outskirts of a village, not by the mountains or by the forest, but very close to the people. It's just a little farther away, and it takes about ten days to travel, which is considered to be more in-depth into the Danavi territory, but it is also safer, unlike Roverlan, because it is located on the edge of the territory, so it is easy to be unlucky.
"There are thousands of households in Roverland, with a resident population of more than 7,000 and a floating population of about 5,000." Seeing that the team was about to leave the city, the young butler finally spoke again, "If the city is successfully expanded, this number is conservatively estimated to be at least tripled, because this is an important city connecting the three surrounding territories, and it is also an important supply place for the Danawi territory. ”
"So?" Sean raised an eyebrow.
"I hope you can think about it for the sake of these people who live here."
Sean was silent for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "I'm not a savior. Nor heroes. I'm just a very ordinary person. ”
The young butler was dumbfounded.
In these days, doesn't everyone want to be the savior and hero who turns the tide? Why does this person in front of him say that he is not a savior and a hero?
He had already heard what Sean was doing in the Temple of Victory, so he came here tonight to wait. In the eyes of the young butler, a hot-blooded man like Sean is the most easily instigated, and he will definitely fight for some kind of righteousness. So he actually prepared two sets of rhetoric. The first set is naturally to promise some benefits, if it is not successful, he will use the rhetoric of righteousness and the people to oppress people, he is not afraid of Sean's refusal, as long as he has the intention of answering, the young housekeeper thinks that he should at least be able to move Sean to help a little.
But. Sean's direct "I'm not a savior" completely disrupted his plans and words.
All he could do was stunned.
"Actually, you're Ser Parrow's son, aren't you?" Sean looked at the young butler carefully, and suddenly laughed as if he had discovered some secret.
"Yes." The young housekeeper did not have the slightest embarrassment in his eyes, and looked very calm.
"So all these actions are also your handiwork?"
The news of the banquet was spread, and the wealthy merchants were invited to allow the residents of the city to rest today. All this is done to appease the possible panic of the entire city's inhabitants; Only then did he close the three gates early. Only one north gate, which is the farthest away from the venue of the banquet, was opened, naturally to prevent anyone from seeing Sean's army leave. But it didn't hurt if someone saw it, because at the moment the young butler was standing here talking to Sean.
For ignorant civilians, sometimes a little bit of chasing after the wind and shadows, coupled with appropriate speech control, is enough to form a very subtle public opinion.
After thinking about it, Sean laughed again: "Then you should have sent someone to ask for help early in the morning?" ”
"Yes." The young butler still did not deny it, "I have already done this when I received that threatening letter, and the lord's army will arrive in five days at the latest. ”
Sean now knows how those players solved the plot in the game, which turned out to be just a simple task of assisting in defending the city.
"So, in fact, from the beginning, you were ready to do it all?" Sean is a little interested in this young butler, this is also a rare internal affairs talent, at least it is absolutely enough to be a staff member, "So you are here now, just pretending?" You don't really care if you can really keep me? ”
"No, I really want you to stay." The butler shook his head, "Because if you can stay, the damage to Lovlan will be much lower, which will also be very beneficial for our future development." So I'm really sincere in asking you to stay and help. ”
The young housekeeper said very sincerely, and his eyes were unpretentiously sincere, but Sean still shook his head coldly: "I am not a savior." At the end, he asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Solomon. Feng. Romis. ”
"Sure enough, it fits your name." Sean smiled slightly.
In ancient language, he knew more or less about the Tao of Lu, so he also knew that Solomon was the son of wisdom. And the full meaning of this name is "the son of wisdom of the Ramis family", although the tone is very big, but looking at the arrangement and actions of this Solomon, at least we can know that Lu Dao is not a straw bag, but a person with real talent and learning. It's a pity that Sean has never heard of his name in the game before, and if he had heard of it earlier, I'm afraid he would have brought more people to Danavi Territory.
It's just that this world is not a game, so there is no early knowledge of the road, even though Sean knows a lot of the future trends of this world, but he will also not know many details hidden in this world.
Solomon has tried his best to keep Sean, but unfortunately, it has not succeeded.
And tomorrow, a new news will begin to circulate in the city of Lovelan: a nameless mercenary group has ventured through enemy lines to ask for help from Lord Danavi, and the lord's army will arrive in a few days. Sean didn't feel too upset about being used as a pawn, he knew that in this world, at least in his mind, there would be one more name for those talented geniuses.
When Sean caught up with the large army to reunite, the door of a carriage was opened.
William just lay in it, this guy can lie down and will never sit, so Sean saw this angry guy lying on the floor of the carriage so casually, chatting with Sean with the door open, and he didn't even mean to invite Sean in to sit down. If he could, Sean would really want to stomp on this guy's face and then stomp on it a few times.
"What did you say to that guy?" Towards the end of the chat, William couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'm not a savior." This is the third time Sean has said this sentence tonight.
William, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and then burst into a hearty and comfortable laugh.
"What's wrong?" Sean looked confused.
"No, nothing." William shook his head, "I just want to laugh." ”
Sean rolled his eyes.
But he didn't know what to say, and William still didn't say a word in his heart at the moment: "It's really my honor to be able to follow a lord like you." (To be continued.) )
