Tang En felt unlucky.
He was just an ordinary businessman, running between Eternal Night City and Hermes for a reasonable profit, selling the fur and velvet of the grey castle to the church, and bringing back some talismans or statues that were soaked in the holy water.
This business is fiercely competitive, and it was only after nearly ten years of hard work that he gained a foothold in both places.
With some spare money in his hand, he wanted to expand his business, so he bought a house with a warehouse outside the New Holy City to store goods.
Just as he was about to make a big deal, he did not expect that the situation in the north would take a sharp turn for the worse. First, the new King of Gray Castle broke out in fierce conflict with the church. The demand for faith objects like talismans plummeted, which forced him to return empty-handed, losing almost one-fifth of his income.
But as long as the fur business can still be done, there will be no loss of money. In addition, the price of fur will rise due to the intensification of conflict.
At that time, he believed that the church was a matter of time sooner or later. As a frequent visitor to the Holy City, he naturally knew how strong the church had.
The knight who can walk sideways in the kingdom, if he comes to Hermes, is probably not as good as a judge warrior trained after rigorous training.
However, it is surprising that the church not only lost, but also lost miserably.
His business also announced a complete suspension, and the price was reduced by 30%, and no one cared about it. It was not until the order of the Holy City collapsed and the inventory warehouse was looted, and Tang En realized that this place had become a dangerous place.
In other words, since he learned that the cathedral collapsed overnight, he had a premonition that something was wrong, but the lucky mentality in his heart always made him unwilling to give up the family business he had finally accumulated.
The news that the Dawn Army appeared at the foot of Mount Hermes became the last straw that crushed him. The purpose of the group of people here at this moment was almost self-evident. There was no doubt that it was for the wealth accumulated by the church for hundreds of years. Once they were robbed, let alone fur, I was afraid that even his life would be lost here.
After making a decision with a heart-wrenching heart, Tang En followed many merchants all the way south. After several days of wandering, he finally retreated safely to Grayburg.
The soldiers stationed on the border did not make things difficult for them. They just briefly interrogated them and took them to a camp specially designed for containment and told them that two days later, the convoy of the Duke of the North would take them back to the city.
Tang En thought that the nightmare had finally come to an end. Although the business of several years has gone to nothing, he is still alive. There is still a house in Yongye City that can shelter from the wind and rain. His wife and children are still waiting for him. Unlike his old rival, the stingy Sokas, who died directly on the way to escape.
Thinking of this, he felt much better again.
But in less than a day, this sense of peace of mind disappeared without a trace. Two new king soldiers found him and took him out of the camp.
He tried to stuff two silver wolves a few, but when he wanted to find out what was going on, he was rejected.
Could it be that the other party wants to pluck his hair by the geese?
Tang En couldn't help but cover the purse in his arms. This was his last property. If it was stolen, he would really not be able to survive.
But don't give it?He didn't have the courage to defeat the cruel army that could destroy the church was definitely not something he could refuse.If you annoy these killing gods, the outcome will be even worse.
As he walked, Tang En couldn't help but wail, why was he so unlucky?
There are obviously so many businessmen, but they just pick on themselves?
Could it be that he threw all the amulets and statues that he could not sell into the ravine and was cursed by the gods!
This desperate mood made him feel distracted, and he couldn't come back to his senses quickly when a commander who claimed to be the deputy battalion commander asked.
What, what...the path?
The other party did not get angry, but asked again calmly. A soldier under my command said, "Do you know a path that can reach the foot of Mount Helmes without passing through the New Holy City, right?"
It is the merchants you told me that they often use it to smuggle some high-value goods, and you followed them a few times.Another added.
Wait...isn't it for the golden dragon in his arms?
Tang En glanced at the latter and found that the speaker was the young soldier he met on the road, as if he was calling him a navigator. Seeing that he was very enthusiastic at that time, he chatted with him for a few more words, hoping to win his approval by stealing the church's taxes.
I didn't expect this action to cause me such trouble!
But now that things have come to this point, it’s useless to regret it.
Well, there is indeed such a road, which the locals call it the Cloud Ladder, Tang En gritted his teeth and replied, "It only appears after the snow melts every year, it is impossible to pass when it fog or rain. And it is said that there are several exits, but I only know the one heading to the direction of the morning light."
Very good, the commander nodded, you take my people to walk twice, as long as you can pass, I will reward you.
Don't dare Ah, sir!Tang En immediately knelt down, how dare I ask for your reward? I just hope you can let me go home after you leave.
Unfortunately, this won't work.The other party's words immediately made his heart feel cold. In order to ensure that nothing unexpected happens, you must follow us in the next few days until the task is completed.
But, but sir. Before Tang En finished speaking, five golden dragons were thrown in front of him.
This is the deposit, and there are five more after the incident. The commander interrupted, "You should know what kind of things can be bought in most parts of the Gray Castle."
He swallowed his saliva after he had been able to buy his life. After so many years of business, the working capital in his arms was only more than 30 golden dragons.
The other party's intentions are undoubtedly money to buy life, and it is impossible to refuse.
Will you... really let me go?Even though he knew the question was meaningless, he couldn't help asking.
Of course, as long as you do your best to do your guide, I will send someone to send you back to Yongye City safely, so you can rest assured.
……
Tang En left the camp worriedly, but found that he was accompanied by the young nail and an old soldier.
You have hurt me, he said with a wry smile.Judging from the expressions of the two, this matter should be just a coincidence, not a deliberate frame-up.
How could this harm you?The nail frowned. Ten golden dragons are definitely not a small amount. As long as you don’t have any ill-hearted intentions, you don’t have to worry about encountering any danger.
Don't worry, the boss is still very reliable in his words. If he says he can let go, you will definitely let go.The old soldier interrupted, "Besides, you can get ten golden dragons with just a way. If you put this on me, you won't be too happy."
You are...
Just call me Uncle Sang.In addition, I will avoid honorifics, and I will say to Nails that he is the squad leader, and he is one level higher than me.
Yes, is that true?Tang En couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He always thought that this young man was just a soldier from the bottom.
According to the previous name, Nail waved his hand indifferently.
Can those two tell me what the mission your deputy battalion commander is talking about... is it?
We will bypass the Helmes Plateau and stop the offensive of the Dawn Army under the Old Holy City.
Squad leader!Uncle Sang spoke and reminded.
It doesn't matter, he will stay with us these days, and revealing some information appropriately can make him less random thoughts, which will help us complete the task.As long as he has any abnormal movement, I will kill him as soon as possible.
The nails made Tang En shudder, but the other party's first half sentence was even more incredible
The army that stops the dawn?His eyes widened in surprise, this was impossible!The path is only two people wide, and there are some places where collapses, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a cliff.Even if you walk from morning to night, you will pass at most a few hundred people within a week. What do you use to resist those knights?Not to mention that the church may attack you from behind!
We are not fighting alone, Nail said calmly, Your Majesty's reinforcements will soon arrive at Hanfeng Ridge, and you will naturally see the way the First Army fights.
