Chapter 57 The Amn Guard
The afternoon breeze mixed with the rustling leaves on both sides of the road made everyone in the caravan feel drowsy. After three days of departure from Lake Acemere, the entire caravan encountered no trouble, which made the apostles who had experienced many harassment in the wild area a little uncomfortable.
However, this necessary relaxation is what they need now. After all, not everyone can tighten their nerves for a long time. This sign seems even more obvious to Millaras. The Sun Elf Prince, who was originally unshaven and haggard, has finally gotten rid of the appearance of a decadent otaku and has returned to his former thrilling and confident appearance.
It was just the price of changing this image, but Qin Lun wanted to see. One morning, Milleras saw the sharpness of the evil dagger, so he borrowed it away. When the Sun Elf Prince returned, Qin Lun saw the stubble from the blood trough of the dagger.
If Milleras hadn't been running fast, Qin Lun would have doubted whether he could still suppress the rampage of Joey. The Anatomizer almost broke the Sun Elf Prince on the spot, letting him understand that the angel could also be transformed the day after tomorrow.
Although the worst result did not happen, Joey still wanted to throw away the evil dagger. The murderer believed that this killing remains had been defiled by Millaras and was completely unworthy of being an artistic tool.
While the caravan was a little lazy, a slight vibration suddenly came from the road. The apostle in the team moved slightly and straightened his body from the horse's back.
"It's a cavalry, very fast!" Stark jumped off the horse, listened on the ground for a while, then his face changed slightly, turned his head to look at Qin Lun behind him, and shouted, "Philal, did Ilistin find anything?"
When Qin Lun heard this, he covered the sun with his palms, raised his head and looked at the sky, observing the giant eagle that Yilistin transformed into. After a while, the young man shook his head and replied, "Ylistin signaled us to make way out, the other party was not for us!"
The coachman and fellow coaches in the caravan followed the instructions of the apostles and drove the carriage to the side of the road, waiting for the other party to pass first.
The vibration from the ground was from far to near, and soon everyone heard the rumbling sound of horse hooves. A team of cavalrymen with about ten people entered everyone's vision from the bend of the straight road.
This team of cavalry was wearing chain armor and steel armor, and the key parts of the horses also had leather vests, which were considered to be relatively elite heavy cavalry. They were wearing a uniform pocket shirt outside, and the chest and shoulder armor were painted with a red sword and shield logo. This was Ammu's official army, Ammu Guards.
"It seems they have experienced a fierce battle!" Robin's eyes flashed and he leaned against Stark and said softly.
Stark glanced at the cavalry and nodded in agreement. The armor and horses of the Am cavalry were stained with blood. Some people were bandaged with bandages on their heads, faces and limbs, and bright red blood stains were seeping out from underneath. Even their armor had many sunken areas.
"Well, although the Am Guard is not an elite army, it is also a huge figure in Am territory. I don't know what happened before." Stark frowned, "Robin, do we need to take a detour?"
"Longer and the others will go to the front to check it out later. It is closer to the mountainous area, and Ilistin's vision in the sky may be limited." Robin said with a smile, "It has been too easy these days. A little trouble can make everyone cheer up."
"I hope it won't be a big scene!" Stark shook his head with a wry smile.
This small cavalry did not turn their attention to the caravans on the roadside. They were very fast and rushed to the road. Like a whirlwind, most of the caravans passed by in just a few seconds.
"Huh!" A surprised voice came from the cavalry team. The leading heavy armored cavalry suddenly raised a fist and signaled the horse team to slow down. He tied the reins, and the tall horseman under his crotch stood up. After a neighing, he turned around and stopped.
The leading heavy armored knight looked no different from other cavalrymen, but when he really paused and stood up from the horse's back, the caravan found that his body was far taller than normal people.
Under the heavy armored knight's standard pocket shirt, he was wearing a pair of pure black plate armor. Looking closely, there seemed to be more damage and depressions on it compared to his companions. Obviously, he was attacked more during the battle.
Seeing the heavy armored knights stop, the other cavalry also strangled the horses one after another and looked at their leader with some confusion. However, at this time, the heavy armored cavalry was hesitant, and the horse under his crotch sniffed anxiously and digged the soil on the ground with their horse's hooves.
Thinking of his heavy responsibility, the heavy armored knight finally gritted his teeth, jumped off the horse's back, and walked towards the caravan on the side of the road.
"Where are the caravans you are? Who is the leader?" The heavy armored knight's voice seemed strong and low.
He took off his helmet and showed a young face with a font. His eyebrows were thick and black, his eyes were sharp and vivid, and his brown hair was wet with sweat and curled against his forehead, looking firm and firm.
"The Hulan family of Teser pays tribute to you. I am Sivo Hulan. What are some places to serve?" The young nobleman soon came from the rear of the caravan with his old housekeeper and said slowly.
"It really saves us a lot of trouble with such a nobleman standing in front of the plot!" Robin looked at the elegant noble young man and said with appreciation, "Santalin will definitely not have imagined that we have such good luck. We found such a good cover in Am in two days."
"Yes, I was worried that with so many elves in the team, it would be easy to reveal my identity!" Stark responded with a smile.
"Am Guard, Boni!" The heavy armored knight's tone was brief and capable. He waved his hand wearing a leather hood and said calmly, "I will recruit your mercenary group according to Amm's business rules."
"What?" The noble young man and the old housekeeper were shocked. Sife blushed and said angrily, "You can't do this!"
Unlike his master, the old housekeeper has experienced more storms after all. After thinking about it, he immediately calmed down, grabbed the noble young man, turned around and smiled at the knight, "Knight Boni, we are not the local merchants in Amm.
Before entering Am, I also studied Am's business rules. That was not the law, but just the business norms of the industry association. And... I remember very clearly that even these norms are only aimed at caravans and each other. You should not be considered caravans, right?"
"Is that true?" The heavy armored knight did not change his face, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Have you thought it through clearly? This is not my personal order, but a recruitment order issued by the Ammen Guard!"
The noble young men and the old housekeeper were silent at the same time. This time they understood. Nothing is a waste of business and righteousness. The heavy armored knights threatened them in the name of the Am Guard. The cavalry in front of them should have really encountered a lot of trouble.
"Is it..." The old housekeeper glanced at the noble young man. It was obviously the first time that Sife encountered such a thing. He was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he had to continue to come forward.
"I am the deputy commander of the First Cavalry Regiment of the Am Guard. As for our affairs, we cannot tell you now." The heavy armored knight was silent for a moment, and told the old housekeeper about his origin, and said in a slowed down a little.
"Help us will not let the caravan suffer. As long as you respond to the recruitment, I will issue you a special material recruitment order for Am Guard afterwards. With this order, you can get the assistance of the guards in Am Guard within a year, and even the official station will be opened to you."
After hearing this promise, the young nobles and the old housekeeper finally became interested. They were Taesel's nobles, and although they had fallen, they were still safe in the country. If they could get official protection in Amm, even if it only took one year, it would be enough for them to gain a foothold.
As for the route from Am to the Baldur Gate, they were on the sea route. Both Am and the Baldur Gate were severely attacking pirates. Basically, they would not encounter any dangers in this section of the sea of Sword Bay.
For the Hulan Chamber of Commerce, with this special material call, even if some money is lost this trip, it is completely acceptable.
"We understand what you mean. However, even if we agree, the mercenary group needs to be voluntarily!" said the old butler cautiously.
"You don't need to worry about this. Mercenaries looking for jobs in Am' territory may not be able to refuse the kindness of the Am' guard!" The heavy armored knight breathed a sigh of relief. He was very confident that he could convince the mercenaries.
Of course, if the apostles were really ordinary mercenaries who made a living in Am, then the reason for making Ammun's guards owe a favor is indeed convincing. Unfortunately...
The heavy armored Knight followed Stark and chatted for a few words, and her face turned blue. Robin was not present at this time. As a beautiful woman, she wisely chose to let Stark stand out in this situation.
When Stark learned from the old housekeeper that Xing Shangyi was not applicable at all, he yawned and ignored the deputy commander of the cavalry in front of him, but was just polite and continued to make a perfunctory sentence.
"Disagree with the recruitment of Am Guard, your mercenary group will be unable to move forward in Am in the future!" Boni's face looked ugly and he said gritting his teeth.
Am is governing the country by business, but his tolerance to the chamber of commerce does not mean that he is equally tolerant of the mercenaries. Moreover, the situation that the Am cavalry encountered this time was very urgent and there was no nearby person to ask for help, so Boni would then set his mind on these seemingly powerful mercenaries.
Stark disdained the threat from the Bonnie Knight. They really had no intention of continuing to hang out at Am.
"Test them, maybe you can agree." Robin and Qin Lun's reminder came from Stark's communication channel at the same time.
"By the way, they are Am Guards, Am's official agency. This cover is even more powerful than the Hulan Chamber of Commerce!" Stark's eyes lit up immediately after thinking about it.
"Knight Boni, we have signed an employment contract with the Chamber of Commerce. It is difficult to accept other employment before we reach our destination." Stark raised his chin and said reservedly, "But if you can explain in detail what trouble you have encountered, maybe we can discuss it with Sir Hulan."
The bullshit, Hulan Chamber of Commerce has agreed. Don’t you want to fight for better conditions? Boni complained in his heart, but he had no choice but to hesitate for a moment and then reached out to pull Stark aside.
