92. Join forces
The Evergreen Suspension Bridge in the Lane Royal Capital is still the same Evergreen Suspension Bridge, and it has not changed in the slightest.
It's just that this time I left, everyone's mentality was a little different.
A dark black carriage slowly drove out of the main entrance of the royal capital of Lane, but this time it was none other than Sean himself who acted as the coachman. A dignified Duke of the Void actually drove the carriage himself, which was simply an incredible thing in the eyes of all the commoners, and of course, in the eyes of those nobles, this was a very worthless thing. Many nobles either heard or saw Sean driving the carriage in person, they all showed disdain, of course, for Sean was so eager to leave the royal capital, naturally there were many thoughts and thoughts.
It's just that the aristocrats dare to fight some crooked ideas, but it doesn't mean that everyone dares to fight such thoughts.
Next to this carriage, there is also a giant black earth dragon that looks a little sluggish but still looks scary, and sitting on it is the female god of war who is the first combat force under Sean. Rena. And next to Rena are two elves, a man and a woman, this time Venia and Marton are not wearing cloaks, so their identities and images are naturally clear at a glance, but like Rena, these two elves are also a little sluggish.
And the thirty Snow Wind Warriors who were originally following Sean were there.
But after yesterday's battle, there was nothing left.
Oh no, there's actually a survivor.
The butler who was lucky enough to go out to buy and thus escaped the catastrophe, Hampson.
At this time. The butler sat in the passenger seat next to Sean.
Basically, everyone in the entire Ryan King now knows that Sean, the Duke of the Void, has provoked some powerful existence, and I'm afraid that this news will spread throughout the Ryan Kingdom in a short time. It's just that at that time, I'm afraid that the authenticity of the content of the message will be completely changed. And in this case, it stands to reason that the best option for a butler who is just an ordinary person is to resign from the job given by Sean, after all, with the ability of this butler, everyone is happy to hire him.
But unexpectedly, Hampson, the butler, did not resign, but gave up the purchase and ran directly back to the Void Mansion. This also caused Sean, who wanted to dismiss him, to change his mind and decide to bring the butler back to the Void Realm, after all, Neil has a very strange place - this elf has no problem managing a large territory. However, he doesn't know how to manage housekeeping, so the Void Lord's Mansion still needs a housekeeper.
Of course, this position was actually in charge of Cecilia before.
"Along the way. I'm afraid it won't be very peaceful, so if something goes wrong along the way, all you need to do is save your life. "Driving out of the Evergreen Suspension Bridge, it can be regarded as officially leaving the royal capital of Lane. Sean turned his head and said to his butler, Hampson. "If the misfortune is separated from us, then you still have to save your life as the first principle. Then, if conditions allow, try to go to the Void Realm or find a way to get in touch with the Void Realm. β
As a good butler, Hampson certainly knew where the tense atmosphere of danger was coming from, and he was no longer the apprentice butler who didn't know anything. So what Sean said was not very peaceful, and he naturally could understand it, after all, as Sean, the butler of the Duke of the Void, of course, he had to understand what kind of enemies his master had-I have to say. After learning what kind of enemies Sean had, Hampson was indeed deeply shocked.
Two-thirds of the nobles in the entire Ryan Kingdom can be considered Sean's enemies or potential enemies.
But. While understanding what kind of enemies Sean has, Hampson naturally also understood a little about the process and reasons why Sean, the duke, set up so many enemies for himself, so that it was clear that Sean had made a contribution in the war against Dabiang. In addition, he was originally a talent recommended by Asuna, and more or less he could learn some details that others did not know through Asuna's line, so he had more respect for Sean.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this reverence that Hampson did not choose to leave Mingzhe immediately after Sean had a problem.
"This is my token." Sean handed a small badge to Hampson, "You have to take care of it. β
Hampson picked up the badge and looked at it, recognizing it as the family crest that belonged to the Connery familyβthe Wings of the Void that represented attack and protection. But this badge is obviously slightly different, because its edges are gilded, which looks obviously much more expensive, and the material is obviously more advanced, because the feeling of starting is a slight warmth, not a metallic coldness.
"If you are unfortunate enough to get separated, then with this Void Wings family crest, you can be protected by any of the Void Lord's troops." Sean opened his mouth and said, "Of course, if you can't return to the Void Realm by yourself, then you can also send this token back, as long as you receive this token, someone will definitely come to rescue you." β¦β¦ However, there is one thing you must be aware of, and that is that once you fall into the hands of the enemy, you must lose the badge as soon as possible, otherwise you will be in danger. β
"My lord, is it really that serious this time?" Hampson asked.
But there was not the slightest uneasiness in his tone, but he was unusually calm.
"It's probably going to be a new game." Sean smiled, at this time she couldn't help but think of Hela, and naturally thought of what Hela said to him and the layout and adjustments made, although the middle process of the story development was slightly tortuous, but the final result did not change anything, "In fact, whether there is any trouble with or without Edward the Confessor, the contradictions between me and those old nobles will erupt after the end of this martial arts festival, and according to their character, they will definitely not let me, a new nobleman, develop and grow, So I'm definitely going to find an excuse to cut me down. β
Hampson listened silently, he wasn't particularly proficient in these things, but he didn't necessarily understand anything.
"When the contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, it is definitely necessary to find an outlet." Sean shrugged, "Our King doesn't want this to be the trigger for a civil war, so he's sure to acquiesce to the attacks on me by those political enemies to some extent, isn't it?" β¦β¦ So the only thing we need to do is to make it to Tonys Fortress alive. β
"Then it seems that this journey will be very difficult." Hampson smiled wryly.
He knew very well how far it was from King Ryan's capital to Tonis Fortress, and even if he had to travel day and night, it would take three or four months at the earliest. And the other biggest problem is that the territory they need to shuttle through during the three- or four-month journey is the territory that the old nobles have painstakingly managed for many years, and if those people can't arrange a series of attacks in this situation, then they are really worthy of the title of "noble".
"Is it hard?" Sean's eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured softly as if he was smiling, "In this world, there are many people who want to take my life. But in the end, they became dry bones in my path, and this time will be no exception. β
"As long as we get to Tonys' Fortress, we'll be safe."
"Almost." Sean shrugged, "According to my two commanders, His Majesty doesn't like a situation that gets out of control, so he can acquiesce in the revenge that the nobles have taken against me, but the bottom line is until the fortress of Tonys." As soon as we enter the fortress of Tonys, those who are hostile to me, willingly or not, must stop killing or else be seen as a provocation to royal authority. β
"I see." Hampson nodded, "Then we just need to be careful." β¦β¦ My lord, we can actually take a long detour to Tonys's fortress, although it may waste an extra month or two, and there may be some accidents along the way, but at least we can disrupt the deployment that the other side may have prepared in advance, which is still beneficial to us. β
"No need." Sean shook his head, "We don't have that much time to waste. β¦β¦ Shefanio's situation is not very stable right now, so we have to hurry back. So this time, I won't have any hands left, I will fight my way back to the territory, but I will probably not be able to protect you in the process, so you need to pay attention to yourself. β
Hearing Sean so frankly admit that his ability is limited, Hampson was stunned at first, but he did not have any disgust, but had a deep sense of heroism and gratitude, and at this moment he even felt that it seemed that he might be able to witness the legendary story of Sean, the Duke of the Void.
The team, which consisted of only seven people, quickly disappeared from sight from the watchtower of King Ryan's capital.
Soon, however, another contingent of about a dozen or so people came out of the main gate of the royal capital of Lane.
The men were all dressed in light riding attire, but with a few travel bags hanging from their horses, each of them was clearly ready for the long journey.
They seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, and when they galloped, they did not take into account the horse's physical strength, and seemed to want to go as fast as they could. But after about a mile of running, the young man in the lead suddenly raised his left hand, and suddenly there was a neighing sound of horses, which, though it looked a little messy, at least did not cause confusion, and each of these riders stopped.
The young man frowned and looked ahead: "If you have the intention to block the way, why do you want to hide?" β
"I have no enmity towards you." A pleasant female voice suddenly sounded, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Monica, I am a follower of Lord Anome, and this time I want to make a deal with you." β
"Deal?" The young man's brows furrowed slightly, "What kind of deal?" β
"We have a common goal."
"You mean ......"
"Duke of the Void, Sean. Connelly. (To be continued......)
