Chapter 61 The reason and the beginning of the battle

In the wilderness, while walking.

The real guide to the caravan, the old hunter with gray hair on his sideburns, introduced the basic situation of this caravan to Amon.

This caravan belongs to the Kingsley family in Aldian City. As the top five big family in Aldian City, the Kingsley family is known for their shrewdness and wealth.

It is said that three of every ten caravans that set out from Aldian City belong to the Kingsley family. Although cross-city trade is very risky, the profit is also considerable. The Kingsley family has accumulated extremely huge wealth.

Leading by the Kingsley family, a caravan was organized from Aldian City to Gond, the city of Crafts. It was actually normal.

In fact, even though the old hunter has led a long journey in the wasteland for half his life and has a great experience, he did not realize that it was inappropriate before encountering the hungry wolf group.

But now, after knowing the result, being suspicious, and looking at the whole process, there are loopholes everywhere.

For example, the guards of the caravan, this large group of mercenaries seems to be quite large, and the single one is not weak, but there is no high-level warrior who can really support the pillars. It is also composed of several small mercenary groups. When facing the hungry wolf group, it basically has no cooperation. It is a mess and cannot form effective combat power.

The Kingsley family offered them extremely high rewards, but they could only receive them after the agreement was successful.

In other words, only if the caravan arrives safely and the mercenaries return to Aldian City to deliver the mission can they receive the subsequent large remuneration.

But what if these mercenaries died halfway?

Everything is over!

The Kingsley family is really smart enough to the core, and even saved the money for this group of people's life.

For example, before leaving, the old hunter received a kind reminder from the Kingsley family that on the only way to Gond City, a powerful Nimia giant lion was in the estrus period and was raging everywhere.

The best way for the caravan to go to Gond City is to go south first. When reaching the border of Aldian City, turn southeast, so as to perfectly avoid the area raging to the Nimia giant lion.

This kind of kind reminder is very common at ordinary times. After all, the Kingsley family has many caravans and is well-informed. The old hunter has no doubts at all, so he accepts it.

But now it seems that it is simply to let a group of people fall into the trap.

Finally, before that, the old hunter did not know what cargo the caravan was transporting. The Kingsley family also had the right to conceal it for the principle of confidentiality.

But now he knew that it was a weapon of food and finished products.

It’s okay to have food, but what are finished weapons?

It is understandable that Gongde, the Craft City, lacks food, and it is normal to lack raw materials. However, as the second largest weapon and equipment supplier in the North, it has always sold weapons and equipment to the outside world. What is the operation of purchasing?

At the end, the hungry wolf group appeared. Before the robbery occurred, the direct lineages of the Kingsley family in the caravan disappeared and disappeared quietly.

In addition, the hungry wolf group was killed and the attacks behind Amon's encounter, the truth was about to emerge...

"To put it bluntly, this batch of goods was prepared for the Hungry Wolf Group, and the Kingsley family's transaction targets were never in the Craft City Gond, but in the group of bandits who were wandering in the wilderness.

We are just a person who is trying to hide our goals and abandon our children."

These words made the little hunter Roger stunned. The young man was always simple. Even though he had almost died, he never thought of so many twists and turns.

He stared at his grandfather in a daze, and after a while he screamed: "How can they do this? This is nearly a hundred lives? Are they not afraid of the consul's accountability?"

"Fear? What do they need to be afraid of?"

The old hunter pulled a helpless smile from the corner of his mouth, as if he saw through the world, and presented the naked dark scroll to his grandson: "The robbery was the hungry wolf group, and the goods were from the Kingsley family. From beginning to end, they had no contact. Who can prove that they had had secret operations?

Perhaps their only concern was that we mercenaries saw something, which made them guesses that they could affect the reputation of the Kingsley family.

So, the only requirement for them to reach a deal with the Hungry Wolf Group is to kill us all.”

"This, this..." The little hunter Roger could no longer speak. He just murmured to himself in a daze, as if he could not accept it.

A trace of unbearableness flashed across the old hunter's old face, but he did not speak up again. In fact, he said so much in front of the boy in order to let him see the truth of the matter and the world clearly.

Although it is cruel, there are some things that must be faced in this world.

Amon didn't feel anything. From the time the wolf knight rejected his proposal, he felt that this was not an ordinary robbery. The old hunter's explanation only made him understand the reason.

As for the conspiracy itself, it is really nothing. He has seen and heard of many people in his two lives.

Of course, through this incident, some other things Amon saw.

"As far as I know, the neutral policy implemented by Aldian City is itself the largest selling place in the entire Northland. As long as the wilderness thieves follow the laws of the city, they can enter and trade freely.

But why did the Kingsley family and the Hungry Wolf Group go around such a big circle?

And, from what you mean, the Kingsley family seems to have other concerns?”

The old hunter glanced at Amon with a strange look and asked, "Can you ask how long have you been in the wasteland?"

"Probably, about a month and a half? What's wrong?"

"No wonder. About a month and a half ago, an envoy from the city of Lion came to Aldian and visited the seven consuls, as well as the patriarch of the Church of God of Power and Prestige.

Then the entire Aldian City issued a decree: to expel all the wilderness thieves in the territory, and to prohibit the caravans in Aldian City from trading with wilderness thieves in any form. Once discovered, they will be severely punished."

"In other words, Aldian City has completely stood on the side of Lion City?!"

This was something Amon didn't know. He looked slightly moved and asked, "Then do you know what methods did the Lion City use? How many benefits did it promise? This made Aldian City change its position?"

The old hunter smiled bitterly: "Are you naturally not sure about those big guys' affairs, such as me, a little guy.

But according to the news in our guide circle, in order to eliminate the thieves in the wilderness, the Lion City's actions are not bad.

All these in Aldian City are only indirectly affected. There are as many as five legions from Lion City alone. This is not considered the foreign aid invited. It is said that the son of the war in Di Ruosi City and the ancient Mongolian legion of Kelma City have appeared on the battlefield."

"The Gu Meng Legion?" As if he had touched a string in his mind, A Meng asked: "Wait, do you mean that you have started fighting?"

"I've been fighting for a long time. If you think about it seriously, it's almost half a month."

"How is the battle?"

"The news before I set off was that the Lion City was a great victory. Think about it, the wilderness thieves were just a group of robbers after all. How could they fight head-on with the regular legion?

But now I don’t know, you know, we have been out for several days and the news is not in time.”

Speaking of this, the old hunter couldn't help but complain: "I don't know what the Lion King in Lion City thinks. When the war broke out, the whole wasteland was in chaos.

There are robbers in the wilderness, burning, killing, and looting everywhere, making us, businessmen, dare not come out to work."

"A fire broke out in the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond!"

This was definitely caused by Amon's feelings, and even the person he thought was irrelevant was affected.

It can be said that under the war, the entire North will be in turmoil, and no one can escape it here.

But this was not something he could solve. Just sighed, Amon asked his most concerned question: "By the way, do you know which legion the Gu Meng people sent?"

"Ancient Mongolian people? I think about it, I seem to have heard of it once?" The old hunter patted his head and thought for a long time before saying, "It seems to be the City Striker Legion. The leader is said to be the second son of King Kelma. What is his name?"

Amon paused his walking movement and turned his head: "Wade, his name is Wade Odoac."
