A group of people rushed to the delivery location agreed upon by Anno and Count Cass.

When Annuo and his men arrived, a long convoy of supplies appeared in everyone's sight.

Hundreds of carriages loaded with goods were lined up in two rows.

"Baron Anno, you're here early!"

Count Cass saw Anno rushing over and pointed at the carriage and said, "The goods are ready, please inspect them."

Anno nodded and asked Liz and the human form of Sasir to check it out.

"Is this the escort team you prepared?"

While inspecting the goods, Cass pointed at Wen Ze and said to An Nuo: "I know several large mercenary groups in Violet City, and there is no such person!"

Wen Ze looked a little embarrassed when he heard this.

His mercenary group has dozens of people, and the leader Wen Ze is at the fifth level.

This strength is actually not weak.

But after all, Cass was a noble who once aspired to become the empire's greatest swordsman, and he really looked down on Wen Ze's mercenary group.

"Don't worry, I have my plans!"

Annuo had no intention of actually letting the mercenary group escort the goods to the Dwarf Kingdom.

His commission to Wen Ze was to escort the convoy to the mountain where Adelaide was.

Then after Wen Ze and others leave, Annuo will transfer the goods to the Evil King's territory.

The main purpose of doing this is to prevent others from knowing that you have an extra-large storage space.

With so many supplies disappearing, someone with ulterior motives would certainly become suspicious.

Their insights will allow them to deduce a reasonable and convincing reason.

But they couldn't guess the correct answer no matter what.

"Annuo, if it was someone else, I would definitely ask him for the rent of the horse."

Cass raised an eyebrow at An Nuo and said, "But because of our relationship, I'll spare you the trouble! However, you will be responsible for the driver's food, drink, and toilet needs along the way, and you will have to send them back afterwards."

"Come on, this kind of horse for pulling goods is not a war horse. One horse is worth at most ten gold coins. Thousands of horses are only worth tens of thousands of gold coins. The money you earn from me is more than this in small amounts."

Because the cargo was heavy, each carriage weighed about five tons, so it was equipped with four horses.

"What are you talking about? When you come to my territory in the future, I'll treat you... Hey, isn't that the convoy of the Yinglem family and the Jinlan Chamber of Commerce?"

Cass, who was happily chatting with Anno, suddenly frowned and looked at the street behind Anno.

Upon hearing this, An Nuo turned around and saw a huge convoy of hundreds of carriages heading here.

The purple and gold flag of the Ingram family was flying on the luxurious carriage in the front.

When the luxurious carriage came up to him, Howell got off.

Civilians on both sides of the street, including Wen Ze and others hired by Anno, all half-knelt on the ground to pay tribute to Howell.

"Why is Duke Howell here?"

An Nuo was somewhat confused.

After separating from Sony a few days ago, Anno had no contact with the Duke. The only time he went out was to hire a mercenary group.

"Your Excellency the Duke!"

When Howell walked up to Annuo, Annuo bowed to him.

"Baron Anno, are you leaving? The captured cultists will be beheaded in public in a few days. Aren't you, the greatest contributor, going to attend?"

Howell looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated expression.

Although he had only met him once before, he had a good impression of An Nuo.

Anno lived up to his reputation. As soon as he left the Duke's manor, he captured the cultists hiding in the city.

But the key point is that one of the cult members is his own daughter!

"The credit for this matter does not belong to me, but to Count Cass. I was only entrusted by him."

An Nuo immediately pulled Cas into the water and explained, "I have a mission to complete, so I can't stay for long."

"Is that so? That's a pity. I wanted to treat Baron Anno to a meal to thank you for your contribution to Zijinlan City, but it seems that I don't have this opportunity anymore."

After hearing what Howell said, Annuo couldn't help but complain in his heart: You didn't thank me when I didn't leave two days ago, but now that I'm leaving, you should thank me.

Seeing that Howell did not leave, An Nuo took the initiative to ask, "What is the purpose of your visit, Your Excellency the Duke?"

"Oh, have you forgotten that we discussed a deal before? I'm delivering the goods!"

Howell pointed to the carriage road behind him and said, "Three hundred thousand gold coins' worth of supplies are all here. I've thought about it carefully. Since this batch of supplies is to support the allies, I can just charge them at cost price."

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "In five days, the arrested cultists will be executed on the execution ground. Are you really not going to come and see it?"

Anno was still wondering why Howell suddenly changed his personality and sold so many supplies to Anno at cost price.

When he heard Howell's last words, Annuo understood.

If Anno, the arrester, did not attend the execution of the cultists, it would be easy to save Sony.

An Nuo shook his head and said, "I really do have a mission to accomplish. The situation in the Dwarf Kingdom is very urgent. You should invite Lord Cass!"

Cass seemed to have received Howell's benefit, and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I have stayed in Zijinlan City for too long. There are many things in the territory that I need to go back to deal with. I will be back in two days, so I am afraid I will not be able to see you."

"Since you all have important things to do, I won't delay you."

Howell smiled and said to Anno, "You can inspect the goods and then give the gold coins to Tel. You don't need to collect the flags on the convoy. The name of the Jinlan Chamber of Commerce is enough to scare away most of the thieves. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

After Howell left, the white-haired knight Tel walked up to Annuo and signaled that Annuo could start accepting the goods.

"Oh, it's not easy to be a parent."

Count Cass sighed and said, "Since the Duke has chosen to do this, I hope he can handle the follow-up properly and make sure there are no mistakes."

Anno shrugged.

After inspecting all the goods, Annuo handed the gold card to Cass and Tel.

Afterwards, he walked in front and led the convoy, letting Wen Ze's mercenary group follow around the convoy. The convoy of more than 500 vehicles marched out of Zijinlan City in a mighty manner.

"What means does this guy have to transport this batch of supplies? He doesn't really think that he can deliver it to the Dwarf Kingdom with just a few dozen mercenary groups."

Cass looked at Anno's back as he left, his eyes full of curiosity.

If you encounter powerful robbers on the way, the supplies worth more than one million gold coins will be wasted.

…

Inside the Duke's Castle.

Howell said to the masked woman in front of him, "Cas and Anno are both very smart guys, so we can't do anything to them. Fortunately, they are not willing to be my enemy, so you don't have to worry about them reporting you for the time being.

You made such a big mistake. I spared your life because you are my daughter and because I don't want to admit that the Ingram family has produced a cancer like you.

From this day forward, you are no longer a member of the Ingram family.

When executing the cultists, I will declare Sonny Ingram dead in combat with them."

Upon hearing this, Sony knelt down in front of Howell and kowtowed several times, saying with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry, father. I disappoint you."

Howell closed his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Go away! If I hear that you are still doing evil in the future, I will send someone to deal with you!"

Standing on the streets of Zijinlan City, Sony, who had lost his identity as a member of the Ingram family, was confused for a moment.

Then she thought of what An Nuo had said before.

"I don't think I've ever experienced a life-and-death battle. The Adventurer's Guild founded by Anno is in the Kingdom of Nigar. Why don't I become an adventurer?"

Having saved his life, Sony has become more open-minded.

So she decided to make the Kingdom of Nigar the first stop of her wandering.

Along the way, she followed the caravans and caravans to various cities.

But on the third night of the journey, Sony suddenly woke up from his sleep.

She covered her chest and gasped for breath.

My forehead is covered with beads of sweat

The whispers kept echoing in my mind...
