"Oh, with the Alliance's support, Sandstone City will definitely be able to drive these damned orcs out!"
"I won't keep you from your business any longer, you can go ahead and get on with your work!"
After saying that, Joey planned to go back the way he came.
"You'd better hide well, and don't wander out recklessly. Swords have no eyes!"
The guards even gave Joey a friendly reminder.
"Yes, yes, I'll definitely hide it well!"
Joey had already left without looking back.
Seeing that Joey had already left, the others also ran towards the city lord's mansion.
In the tobacco field.
Leggins' body was left lying around because Joey said he would take his body with him when he left, so the bearded man and his gang didn't rush to bury it.
"Where are the Karls?"
Joey looked around but didn't see Carl, so she asked a question.
"He went back, saying he was going to tell his people that Leggins was dead!"
The bearded man looked at Joey, who had returned, and was also curious about what had happened outside.
"Big Beard, bring out the armor you've just finished building. Let's go out and join the fun!"
During the time Joey spent at the smelter, he had Big Beard take the time to have Martha build several suits of armor, just in case. He never expected they would come in handy tonight.
"Okay!"
The bearded man was very excited. He didn't care what he was going to do; as long as he had new armor to wear and was with Joey, he was thrilled.
Should we go out too?
Medes hesitated. This wasn't like his captain's usual style. Normally, he would stay indoors and not go out. He wouldn't do something so risky.
"Yes, we have to go out too!"
"Commander Zoro is here!"
Joey is going out now with the intention of making a divine intervention. Adding flowers to brocade is meaningless, but providing charcoal in the snow is a different story. Moreover, the heavy snow in the sky shows no sign of stopping, making it the perfect time to do so.
"Commander Zoro is here?"
Medes was extremely excited. He was an old subordinate of Captain Zoro, and had been out of contact with Captain Zoro for more than half a year since he escorted Catherine to Baron City.
"Yes, he brought people to support Sandstone City. I don't know the specifics, but I'm certain that he's the one currently fighting the main force of the orcs!"
"Sam! Wait for me, I'm coming to help you too!"
Upon hearing Joey's words, Medes couldn't wait any longer and chased after the bearded man in the direction he had left.
Seeing that the two had already gone far away, Joey did not stay there any longer, but turned around and ran towards the direction where Carl lived.
What he needs now is a "surprise attack," not just the bearded man and Medes; with so few men, they really can't get anything done.
"Karl, Mr. Joey is here!"
Just like last time, as soon as he entered the Draenei's dwelling, someone ran to inform Karl. At this moment, the people around him looked at Joey with even more respect than before, indicating that Karl had already informed these people of what had happened at the smelting furnace.
"Mr. Joey!"
Carl rushed over upon hearing the news.
"Karl!"
"What brings you here? Has your departure time changed?"
When Carl saw Joey running over at this time, he assumed that Leigh was dead and that Joey was planning to change his departure time.
"No, I didn't come here to talk about leaving, but to discuss something else with you!"
"The other thing?"
Carl was somewhat puzzled, wondering what the other thing Joey was talking about was.
"I plan to send you and your people to help Sandstone City resist the orc attack!"
"this……"
Carl was only thinking about getting out of there as soon as possible, and he didn't expect Joey to come and say this to him.
“Lykins is dead, and you’ve got the controller. You can leave anytime you want. But there’s an old friend among the people the Alliance sent this time, and I have to help him. If you’re willing to lend a hand, even if the lord of Sandstone City has other ideas, he’ll let you leave because of your help!”
Karl's expression changed. He didn't have a good impression of the Sandstone City Lord. He and his people had been here long enough, and even though Joey said so, he was still hesitant.
“Some of your people are under the protection of the Alliance. Now that you’ve left Sandstone City, where are you going? Why not take this opportunity to establish relations with the Alliance’s army and find a good place for your people!”
Seeing that Carl hesitated, Joey analyzed the situation for him for a while longer.
"Okay, fine!"
Karl agreed with what Joey said later. Where would he and his people go after leaving Sandstone City? They still had to consider their future.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the entrance of Yantian!"
Seeing that Carl had changed his mind and agreed, Joey felt more confident about what was going to happen later.
He turned and walked towards the gate.
"Joey, your armor!"
The bearded man, who was already waiting at the gate, handed a suit of armor to Joey, who had just arrived.
Joey didn't stand on ceremony and put the armor on. Whether there was a real battle or he was just there to pick up scraps, wearing the armor was always a good idea.
Medes patted his armor, quite satisfied.
The three waited there for a short while before Karl arrived with the young Draenei.
Most of them were not wearing armor, and their weapons were a motley collection; many even brought the hoes they used for weeding tobacco fields.
Joey was somewhat shocked, thinking that these high-tech Draenei had actually fallen to such a state, which was indeed quite lamentable.
"Mr. Joey, we're here!"
Carl greeted Joey.
Joey nodded in response.
"Dear Mr. Joey, where are you headed?"
The gatekeeper came out at this moment. He had been wondering about the bearded man and Medes wearing armor, but he had refrained from asking. However, when he saw the Draenei who had been working peacefully in the tobacco field also running over, he couldn't help but ask a question.
He was, after all, one of Lykin's men, while these Draenei had been ordered to stay here.
"Oh, is that so!"
"Lord Leggins told me that a fight has broken out outside and asked if I could help. I'm a kind-hearted person, and I have a good relationship with Lord Leggins. Since he asked, I should definitely help. However, I don't have enough manpower, so I'm asking these Draenei to help as well!"
Joey said to the doorman with a smile.
The gatekeeper was still somewhat puzzled, but he was relieved when he saw that the iron rings around the necks of the Draenei were still there.
"I see. Then please be careful on your way out, and I wish you a triumphant return!"
The gatekeeper then went to open the gate and let Joey and the others out.
The bearded man was already used to Joey's ability to lie through his teeth, but Carl and Medes admired Joey even more after hearing it.
And so, the group quickly headed toward the city lord's mansion where the battle was taking place.
