The spacious and bright hall is decorated with simple, solemn and elegant decoration.
Lord Rambet and Viscount Carey sat opposite each other. Outside the hall, two rows of soldiers stood on the left and right. One team, with distinctive gray armor, is the guard from the Lord's Mansion; the other team, dressed in bright red armor, with a soaring giant beast logo on its chest, is the soldiers of the Xipu Continental Store Guard.
If you observe carefully, you will find that although the door of the hall is open, there is an occasional flash of light at the door, like a layer of bubbles.
This is a soundproof magic barrier. When the two of them talk here, the two teams of guards outside cannot hear them.
After the two sat down, Lord Rambet was not in the mood to be polite to Kaili. He went straight to the point and told the current dilemma he was facing.
When talking about business, the businessman-like smile on Viscount Carey's face disappeared, and his tone began to sound solemn.
"We are also aware of the situation mentioned by the lord. A caravan from our trading company transporting supplies from the royal capital should have arrived ten days ago according to the scheduled time. However, until now, there has been no sign of anything. Traces. I have sent three waves of people to investigate. As a result, not only did I not get any useful information, but the people I sent out also lost their traces - just like your investigation team. "
"Oh? Did your Excellency the Viscount report this matter to the superiors?" Lord Rambet leaned forward and asked.
"Yes!" Viscount Carey nodded.
"What is your trading company's plan" Lord Rambet asked with hope shining in his eyes.
Viscount Carey sighed and said:
"The situation of our trading company, the Lord should also know. Lord Abel is old and will retire in two years. His plan is to focus on stability and just want to retire peacefully. Just like a few days ago What happened in Saint-Sauron Town, the monsters invaded the town, and all the personnel in the Saint-Sauron Town branch fell, and their lives and deaths were unknown. If it were a few years ago, the trading company guards would have set out at the first time. However, after Lord Abel knew about this After the incident, I just said that the power of monsters is unpredictable and covered it up. After I reported the disappearance of the caravan transporting goods, I aroused some vigilance in him, but I tried my best to suppress it, but nothing happened. As a last resort, he would not send out the Merchant Guard, because in that case, this matter could no longer be concealed. Once it was publicized, it would be a stain on his retirement. Therefore, before the matter was clear, the lord You don¡¯t have to count on our Xipu Continental Store.¡±
Lord Rambet¡¯s eyes flashed with disappointment, and he secretly thought in his heart that the current Xipu Continental Store has indeed lost its former glory.
Of course, this is not because of the decline of the Xipu Continental Store - as Viscount Carey said - it is because the general manager of the Cassili Kingdom of the Xipu Continental Store is about to retire, seeking stability in everything and losing his enterprising spirit.
Lord Rambet knew that his trip this time was in vain. Without Abel's order, it would be impossible to mobilize the merchant guards in the kingdom.
Lord Rambet¡¯s initial plan was to have the Shipp Continental Store dispatch guards to form a coalition with his army to patrol near Lobito City, at least to find out who the enemy was.
Now that the original plan failed, Lord Rambet could only sigh in disappointment and said instead:
"Since the Merchant Guard cannot be dispatched, I can only shamelessly ask His Excellency the Viscount to help with another matter. The situation outside Lobito City is unknown now, which makes me very uneasy. I always feel that there is a magic net It is approaching the city of Lobito. To be honest with you, Your Majesty the Viscount, most of the elite troops under my lord's palace were taken away by Defense Chief Barnett and Master Benson. They went out to conquer. They have lost news and their lives and deaths are uncertain. Also In other words, the current garrison strength of Lobito City is seriously insufficient. Once attacked by foreign enemies, the safest way is to activate the city defense system. Once the city defense system is activated, a large amount of magic crystals will be consumed every second , with the savings of my city lord¡¯s palace, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be able to support it for a long time. Therefore, I ask Your Excellency, the Viscount, to help me.¡±
When Viscount Carey heard this, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he picked up the drink on the table and took a few sips, taking the opportunity to think.
If he just mobilized a batch of magic crystals, this would be within his rights. However, we have to think carefully about whether this batch of magic crystals is worth getting out.
After all, to make reserves for the city defense system, the amount of magic crystals mobilized cannot be a small amount.
Putting down the cup, just as he was about to say something, he saw a warrior rushing in from outside. As soon as he reached the entrance of the hall, he was stopped by the two teams of guards.
"Let him in! He is my herald!"Lord Mbet suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Okay, Lord!" Viscount Carey agreed and touched the soundproof barrier at the door with his palm.
¨O
Amid the trembling sound, the soundproof barrier slowly disappeared. Immediately, the noise outside the door came in.
"Lord, the monsters are attacking the city! There are monsters attacking the city! A large-scale tide of monsters!"
The herald couldn¡¯t care less at this time and shouted loudly.
The expressions of Lord Lambert and Viscount Carey changed.
Lord Rambet stood up in a flash. His movements were so agile that no one could connect with his fat figure.
"Viscount Carey, please carefully consider the suggestion I just made. Without the support of your store, once an accident occurs, the magic crystal reserve in the Lord's Mansion may not last long. Also, please report what happened here as soon as possible. Report to the Marquis, I believe that if you want to retire peacefully, you will not sit back and watch Lobito City be attacked by Warcraft, because that means that a branch of your leadership will be destroyed. That is the real achievement of the Marquis. stain."
Lambert said as he walked out.
"Lord, don't worry. The monsters attacking the city should definitely be a common enemy for everyone in the city! The city defense system is generally activated, and our Xipu mainland store is willing to provide the same amount of magic crystals as the lord's mansion." Viscount Kaili's face He also looked anxious and immediately made up his mind.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness."
Lord Rambet¡¯s fat face finally showed a smile.
