Master Overlord - Chapter 379
“Lord Arthur! God, you’re back. There’s an urgent letter from the East!”
Mr. Boye hurried into the restaurant. He was as healthy as a 17-year-old boy. He took out a piece of stationery from his sleeve robe and handed it to him.
Put the letter paper aside. Arthur picked up a piece of bacon rolled with green vegetables with his chopsticks and smiled at the bachelor: “don’t worry, it’s time for dinner. If you’re still empty, why don’t we finish the meal and talk together.”
Then he put the food into his mouth and chewed the vegetables deliberately at the bachelor.
At this time, Leah had stood up and said before the bachelor spoke, “master Boye, you have dinner together, and I’ll prepare it for you. Your Excellency has been running around all day today.”
Looking at the food on Arthur’s plate, Mr. Boye nodded calmly, thanked Leah, opened his chair and sat down.
A meal for one becomes a meal for three.
When Leia brought the food, Arthur looked at the bachelor who kept silent and didn’t want to disturb his meal and asked with a smile, “is it elif who ordered the news? The wild people have taken action?”
“Yes!”
Seeing Arthur’s active inquiry, Mr. Boye quickly put down the spoon, and Arthur raised his palm, indicating that he didn’t have to worry and said slowly.
“The letter was delivered at noon, but you were not in the castle at that time. The wild people did start to act, but not in the South or the East, but in our North!”
“The North!” Arthur was stunned and stared at the bachelor. “Are you sure it’s the north?”
The opposite Leah also looked at him in surprise.
“Yes!”
Seeing Mr. Boye’s face and serious nod, Arthur immediately put down his water cup, grabbed the letter paper that had been put aside earlier – Yemin went north, which was completely different from what they had expected!
The letter is not long, and the content can be summarized into three points.
First, tell Arthur that Mengo TUTA has left averier county with tens of thousands of slaves and will enter the territory of the northern Eder family in three days at most.
The second point is elif’s guess. According to the information he collected, the wild people will not attack the north, but will go all the way to the west after entering the territory of the Davidson family. The reason for this is probably because of an ancient prophecy about disaster. Mongo TUTA will take all wild people to the safest place to take refuge.
The third point is that elif asks Arthur to take good care of his family.
“Ancient legend?” pressed the letter paper on the table, and Arthur had completely lost his appetite for food. “Master Boye, do the wild people have any ancient prophecies about disaster?”
Mr. Boye replied, “there are indeed such prophecies and legends among the wild people who are slaves everywhere. The general content is that in a thousand years, the devil will recover from the underground in the north and destroy all mankind.”
“Devil!?” Arthur bared his teeth and said, “it’s ridiculous. Just because of a doomsday prophecy that is nothing, they’re going to flee to the west?”
Looking at Arthur, bachelor Boye frowned and said, “this prophecy is indeed absurd, but Sir, your oath sword also prophesies the disaster legend of thousands of years. No one knows whether these prophecies spread through the ages are true or false, but the wild people believe it deeply, and now they have put it into action.”
Arthur frowned and his index finger tapped on the handrail.
He never believed in the doomsday prophecy, just as someone in the previous life said that 2012 was the end of the world.
Moreover, predicting such things is nonsense, not to mention predicting things thousands of years later.
Yes, he did find ancient relics in the north of the Tunguska mountains, but what does that mean? With the ghost climate and living conditions in the north of the mountains, when human ancestors found a better place, they naturally chose to migrate.
As for what legends, which nation has no legends about disaster, destruction and Savior?
In short, Arthur never took any Millennium doomsday prediction seriously. It’s better to live a good life now than anything.
“No matter what prophecy or not,” said Arthur for a moment. “As you said, these wild people have begun to act. What news is there from the court and windbreak castle now?”
“The palace’s information city has been powerless. As for Duke kewilt, they should not have received the news of the wild people going north earlier than us.” after a pause, bachelor Boye frowned and added, “Lord Arthur, if the wild people really go north, Prime Minister Flavi and others may not have any reaction.”
“It seems that this time is a big trouble…” Arthur breathed a breath and said with a headache on his face.
In any case, even if the situation is really like elif’s speculation, the wild people go north just to take a way, which will still be a huge disaster for the North!
It will take at least half a year for a team of hundreds of thousands of people to arrive in the West from averier, and how much food do the wild people still have?
It can be predicted that once the wild people enter the Northern Territory, even if the other party does not come for war, all places along the way will inevitably suffer crazy looting!
The plunder that can support hundreds of thousands of people is no less than a devastating disaster for any noble.
At that time, the most likely thing to happen is that the nobles flee and the refugees scatter. Once the wild people do not get enough food, the scope of looting will expand, and the way will become a war against the north.
Of course, Duke kewilt can also choose to summon all the vassals, or even unite with the west to send troops to resist the wild people.
But the wild people had at least tens of thousands of soldiers on horseback, as well as giants and dozens of Warcraft. In addition, in this slave trade, the other party also received a large number of weapons provided by him.
Even if the Allied forces in the north and West can defeat these enemies from the grassland, the price they have to pay must be extremely heavy!
Moreover, after the war, there are Kingdom disputes
“I can’t care so much,” Arthur said, looking at the bachelor for a moment, “You should copy the contents of this letter immediately and send it to Yorktown, Cumbria and windbreak as soon as possible. At present, if the wild people really just take a way, the main impact on us is the obstruction of trade and the possible small-scale refugees. However, how the situation will develop depends on the response of Duke kewilt!”
“Yes, I’ll send the letter bird early tomorrow morning.”
As soon as the bachelor’s voice fell, he had finished his dinner, and Thorne stepped forward after a slight rest.
“Look at this!” he handed the letter paper to the other party, and Arthur immediately ordered, “after reading it, you will immediately send someone to the town to inform Gustav that he will immediately stop the production of wine and try his best to make feather arrows. In addition, you will take the initiative to ask the nobles in the North whether they need to buy arrows. If necessary, they will be sold at a slightly lower price than normal.”
