Master Overlord - Chapter 398
River collar.
“Damn bastards, cheer me up. We have to keep going!”
On the Lord’s avenue leading to zuogeya, Vernon, who had a short rest, turned on his horse, pulled the reins and roared at his men.
“Hurry up! You idiots, eat as slowly as shit! If anyone dares to eat slowly, I’ll kill him now and get the praise of the count!”
With Vernon’s roar, the ten Knights cursed and urged. Hearing the sound, dozens of serfs dressed in coarse linen and black did not want to continue to eat. They immediately put bread into their arms and quickly began to pack up and bring horses.
A moment later, Vernon roared and asked. Seeing that everything was ready, he immediately ordered to go.
After a rest, the horses recovered their strength and dragged nearly 30 carriages loaded with weapons and armor and covered with black cloth to the south along the avenue in the bright sun.
Vernon took the lead, followed by ten knights, two of whom held the flags of the green and Davidson families.
Looking back at the team closely followed, Vernon couldn’t help feeling anxious. It’s a good thing to have the weapons. Most of the tasks assigned by the count have been completed. Next, he only needs to safely transport these weapons back to zuogya to hand over the work.
But the problem is that the delivery time of Shanghe collar is half a month later than what they agreed in advance! In his letter, the count ordered him to return the weapons within three days!
Since Arthur tustra took back the iron ore mountain, the river collar seemed to have changed overnight. Not only won several wars in succession, but also took a tough attitude towards the outside world, and it became more and more difficult to deal with it.
Originally, as long as he said he wanted to see someone, he could enter Lingfeng Castle if he wanted to, and Arthur tustra could see him if he wanted to. Now, let alone Lingfeng castle, even the damn fat Gustav in the town ignored him.
If he hadn’t brought the count’s letter, I’m afraid the guy would send a man directly to receive himself.
What’s more, the fat lion just opened his mouth. After they paid the deposit, they even increased the price temporarily!
If he doesn’t agree, not only can’t he get the goods, but also the deposit of 10000 gold coins will not be refunded – profiteer, damn profiteer!
Compared with now, Vernon still misses the river collar in the past.
“Cheer up for me, don’t be sleepy one by one! Otherwise, get out of the carriage and run!” he turned his head and yelled. When I was about to take back my eyes, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the end of the avenue behind the team, and a large group of knights came running.
“Sir, it’s not like a robber. It should be from Lingfeng castle!” the knight next to him warned.
“Of course I know. There are no robbers on the river!” restrained his uneasiness, Vernon immediately pulled the team aside and made way for the main road.
At a glance, there are at least 70 or 80 riders running from a distance. Such a number can only be the people and horses of Lingfeng castle.
Soon Vernon’s uneasiness was confirmed.
The galloping cavalry did not pass by them, but immediately surrounded them after approaching.
Under the escort of several knights, Vernon immediately kicked his horse forward and said loudly, “what are you doing? This is the Green family’s motorcade, and the goods on it are owned by the green and Davidson families! Why do you surround us?”
Before Bree kicked the horse, he glanced at Vernon, who was slightly fat, and asked, “are you the head of the team?”
“Yes, my name is Vernon. I work for Earl Kiel green.”
“My name is Bree, the captain of a small team of the first army on the river. Now I have the order of Lord Arthur tustra, the Lord of the river, to seize all your goods!”
“Seizure?” Vernon asked hurriedly. “Why should you seize it? These goods are legally purchased by us and now belong to the green and Davidson families. You have no right to do so!”
Bree pulled the reins and explained coldly, “I know this is what you bought, but we have received the news that the green and Davidson families have gathered a large number of people and horses with the intention of being unfavorable to our river collar, so you can’t take these weapons away.”
“Impossible!” Vernon said hurriedly. “These weapons are to resist the invasion of wild people. I have explained to mayor Gustav that Lord Arthur must know!”
“How dare you lie! The wild people have already left ligupos county and headed west. Now they are estimated to be Amelia county. It’s hard for you green and Davidson family to dare to attack?”
After several wars, Bree was no longer the boy who trembled in the sharp blade fortress.
“This…” staring at the people in front of him, Vernon felt his anger in his chest and wanted to scold.
Was it yesterday that the wild people left ligppus? The river leaders didn’t mention it in the morning or in the evening, but they jumped out to seize their goods after they paid all the gold coins and even sent food and thousands of refugees – it’s shameless!
“Lord Bree, such an excuse is ridiculous!” Vernon repressed his anger. “We can’t let you seize these goods like this. What you have done is a humiliation to the green and Davidson family! The Marquis Davidson is an important Minister of the king!”
“Prepare for battle!” with Bree’s order, more than 20 Warcraft bows were immediately aimed at Vernon and ten knights, and all the other soldiers immediately drew their swords to prepare for battle. “I didn’t mean to discuss with you. If you’re going to make it difficult, stay with these goods!”
“Madmen, you madmen!” Vernon scolded while controlling the restless horses under his crotch. “What’s your right to do this? What’s the difference between this and robbers? You’re shameless! I tell you, you’re declaring war on the green and Davidson families when you seize these goods urgently needed by the count and Marquis!”
Vernon knew that resistance had no chance of winning. At the moment, they are far behind each other in both momentum and number.
Looking at Vernon, who was furious on his horse’s back, Bree responded faintly: “these materials are only temporarily detained. We have been peace loving since ancient times. Lord Arthur said that as long as the green and Davidson families remove the people and horses gathered in the territory, these weapons and armor will naturally be returned to you for the first day.”
“In addition, please tell Earl Kiel green when you go back that we will hold a joint military exercise at the border between Shanghe collar and Cumbria collar in the near future. This military exercise is only for exercise and self-test, not for any third party. Please Earl Kiel green don’t worry!”
“I’ll tell the count everything you say!” Vernon said gnashing his teeth, glancing at the arrows aimed at him and a soldier. After all, he didn’t dare to say anything cruel.
