Chapter 362: The Influence of Ryan
In the luxurious carriage, an old nobleman with white hair and a middle-aged man with a mustache sat on one side. Although Fandral had never seen Count Dallaire,
it was obvious that the old man with white hair was Count Dallaire.
Moreover, judging from the similarity of their faces, Fandral thought that they were probably father and son. He nodded slightly and sat on the other side.
The other party first looked at Fandral. At this time, the middle-aged man with a mustache smiled slightly and said, "Captain Fandral, hello, I am Camacho, and this is my father, Count Dallaire."
"Good afternoon, my lords."
"Captain Fandral, I have something to say. I heard that you were lucky to pick up those things on the cart?" Camacho said bluntly.
"Yes." Fandral nodded.
In order to avoid exposing the specific situation of Lord Ryan, he did say this, explaining why they were able to harvest these things.
"Then Lord Fandral, do you know the value of these items?"
"Of course, they are the top three bounties in the Howling Fjord." Fandral nodded. At that time, the cloth had been lifted by Spencer, and too many people saw the head of the deep-sea giant leader Dune.
Not long after, the items on the remaining two carts were also spread widely, and there were all kinds of rumors.
Obviously, the two people in front of him should have known what the items on the remaining two carts were. As the most powerful person in Fjord County, it was not surprising that Fandral could do this.
"Very good, in this case, I might as well say it directly. If Lord Fandral really kills and obtains the spoils with strength, I think no one dares to envy the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group."
"But if it is the favor of the goddess, Lord Fandral, you should know that the goddess will not always favor you." The middle-aged man with a mustache, Camacho, said with a smile.
He was sure that he could convince the leader of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group, Fandral.
Because after investigation, the other party is not a vassal of a great noble, nor is it a white glove for some big forces to handle some dirty work.
The other party does not have any backers, and the personal connections with some baron families are a joke in his view.
However, he learned from reliable sources that the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group in front of him is quite united and has good combat power. Even if the Dallaire family sends out elite troops, it is estimated that there will be great losses.
Therefore, there is a conversation in front of him.
"Lord Camacho, please tell me your purpose." Fandral said with a serious face.
"Captain Fandral, the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group needs to publicize it to the outside world, saying that it picked up the spoils that originally belonged to the Dallaire family."
"Of course, the favor of the goddess is also a favor. We promise that the physical part of the empire's bounty, such as gold coins, will be fully redeemed to you in advance."
"In addition, we will also provide some sophisticated weapons and equipment to the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group." Camacho smiled.
In Camacho's view, the above conditions are already very sincere.
The Dallaire family has already given up part of the bounty in exchange for the consent of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group.
In a sense, the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group used this matter to exchange for a connection with the honorable Dallaire family, which is what many mercenary groups dream of.
"I'm sorry, Lord Camacho, I'm sorry I can't agree to your condition." Fandral shook his head and said.
"Hmm?" Camacho's smile suddenly stagnated, and his face suddenly became a little ugly!
At this time, the white-haired old man Count Dallaire waved his hand, interrupted the conversation between the middle-aged man with a mustache and Fandral, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Fandral, are you sure you have thought it through? Don't bring a catastrophe to your small mercenary group."
Count Dallaire narrowed his eyes, and the momentum of being in a high position for many years suddenly broke out, and most people would be afraid to tremble.
"I've made it very clear, Lord Earl." Fandral said calmly.
However, after thinking about it, he decided to remind the other party.
"Also, although I picked up the things, if the Lord who wiped out the Sea God's stronghold comes back to take the spoils, who knows."
Fandral's words made Earl Dallaire and his son change their expressions and look at each other. For
a moment, no one spoke in the carriage.
"My Lords, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Fandral bowed slightly and got off the carriage.
"Father, do you think what Fandral said is true or false?"
"I feel that it is unlikely to be true. If this Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group really knows a Lord of that level, they would not have been hanging around in the eastern part of the Wind Tundra for so many years."
"Well, your analysis makes sense. But is this important?"
"The important thing now is that with the things on the cart, the Dallaire family can go one step further. So, we must do this." Earl Dallaire looked at his eldest son with satisfaction and said.
"I have contacted Lord Luther. With the full support of the Snyder family, our Dallaire family will definitely be able to go further!"
"I see." Camacho said with a look of realization.
This is also what he admires about his father. When it is time to be ruthless, he will never hesitate.
"Wait until our carriage leaves, and then take action immediately. If you delay, things will change!" Earl Dallaire said in a deep voice.
"Well, I'll arrange it right away." Camacho nodded.
As soon as Fandral returned to the team, everyone surrounded him.
"Fandal, what is the other party's purpose?" asked his old friend Spencer.
"It's the same as you thought."
"You... You won't refuse, will you?" Spencer looked at Fandral's serious expression, and his face froze immediately.
Things seemed to be developing in a direction that he didn't expect.
Because Fandral used to be able to handle such things with ease. Although he would give up some of his interests, he could come back with a smile.
"Yeah!" Fandral nodded.
Spencer was speechless for a moment, thought for a while, and said solemnly:
"Fandal, although I know that your gains this time are very valuable, I would never be willing to give up if it were me."
"But I still suggest that you think about it carefully. The other party is the most powerful noble in Fjord County. Giving up some of the benefits may not be a bad thing for you and the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group." Spencer persuaded.
Spencer knew what it meant to reject a powerful earl in the empire.
"Brother, is the other party the Dallaire family?" Georgia and others naturally noticed something was wrong and asked.
"Be prepared for battle, it's probably not going to be peaceful along the way." Fandral sighed.
"I'm afraid it's not on the way, but now! Captain, look!" An archer stared at the front with a serious look.
The luxurious carriage of the Dallaire family had retreated far to the side, and suddenly two teams of fully armed elite private soldiers appeared around them, and behind these private soldiers were several third-level wizard apprentices in robes.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Fandral shouted with a stern look in his eyes.
He really didn't expect that the other party would turn hostile so quickly.
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight
, suddenly, a two-headed flying creature flew over from the horizon.
It had two heads, one shaped like a lion and the other shaped like a goat. The same was true for the torso. The front half was a lion with strong and sharp claws, but the back half was a goat with a pair of extremely thick legs.
The fleshy wings were shaped like a bat, without feathers, and looked extremely sturdy.
Seeing the abnormality in the sky, both the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group where Fandral was and the private soldiers of Count Dallaire immediately looked up.
"Not good! Fandral, this is the two-headed chimera of the title Knight Lord Luther!" Spencer saw the unique flying creature in the sky and couldn't help but said in shock.
"I didn't expect that the Dallaire family would call Lord Luther for your spoils this time!"
"Lord Luther? Is he the famous Chimera Knight in the Tundra?" Georgia said with a pale face.
"Yes, Lord Luther is the second son of Duke Snyder, the governor of the Marne Province. He has legendary strength and his nickname is the Chimera Knight." Spencer sighed and explained.
The second son of the highest governor of an imperial province is here too?
Could it be that there is also the will of Duke Snyder behind this?
At this time, the members of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group, who were not panicked at first, suddenly became a little restless.
However, after witnessing the death of Duen and the other three, the members of the group, who had greatly increased their knowledge, were a little flustered, but soon calmed down.
"Brother, do you think Lord Ryan can do it?" Georgia frowned slightly.
"I don't know either." For the first time, Fandral was unsure of the situation in front of him.
If it was a county-level force, Fandral would not be particularly worried, but Luther was different. His own strength could easily destroy the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group.
In addition, the other party's noble origin would probably make Lord Ryan afraid to act rashly.
Even if the other party killed him and others, Lord Ryan should not be hostile to the other party for a small Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group.
If Fandral believed that if he really died.
Then even if Lord Ryan would not avenge him, he should take good care of his sister and other members.
In the sky.
Luther on the two-headed Chimera was originally heading rapidly towards the direction of the town of Ilgala.
In the past two days, according to the news that Ryan had told him before, the high priest and some high-ranking officials of the Black Flame Cult were killed, so he immediately returned to Marne City and organized the recovery of three counties including Auvergne County.
After the Black Flame Cult lost its high-end power that could rival him, the recovery operation was unstoppable and the overall situation was soon settled.
This made Luther even more grateful to Ryan!
You know, the recovery of these three counties has a very positive meaning for the prestige of the Snyder family in the Marne Province. At the same time, it also saved his father, Duke Snyder, from the risk of being further held accountable by the empire.
Half a day ago, after he learned that Ryan had gone to Howling Fjord, he immediately decided to rush to meet Ryan.
After all, Ryan helped him and the Snyder family a lot, and he must show his appreciation!
In addition, there is the cooperation of the Colasius Nest Gold Mine, which makes Luther know that this young Lord Ryan is a person that he and the Snyder family must befriend.
At this time, the lion-headed nose of the two-headed chimera twitched and growled.
"Kureni, you said you smelled the blood of a powerful creature, right below?" Luther couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Roar~"
Luther naturally saw that there seemed to be two groups of people confronting each other below, but he was anxious to find Ryan, so he naturally didn't care about the trivial things happening here.
However, it was different if Kureni could feel the blood of a powerful and threatening creature.
A legendary creature is worthy of everyone's attention.
So, Luther controlled the chimera under his crotch and circled down to where Fandral was.
"Huh? Is this the coat of arms of the Dallaire family?" Luther glanced at the pattern on the armor of one of the people from the corner of his eye.
As the second son of the highest administrative chief of the Marne Province, Luther naturally knew the coat of arms of the powerful families in the counties in the province.
"By the way, Count Dallaire contacted me yesterday and said that he had prepared a gift that I would definitely be interested in." Luther suddenly remembered something and muttered to himself.
He landed towards the Dallaire family team.
"Lord Luther is here so soon?"
"Could it be that he guessed what gift we prepared for him?" Count Dallaire and Camacho looked at each other and couldn't help but show joy.
Obviously, this is a good thing!
It means that Lord Luther is very interested in the gift they prepared.
"Father, it seems that we may avoid unnecessary casualties. To be honest, this Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group is not weak. If we forcefully wipe them out, the losses will be huge." "
But if Lord Luther is here, the situation will be very different. After seeing Lord Luther, the other party may not even have the courage to resist!" The middle-aged man with a mustache said happily.
"Well! That's right. Let's go and greet Lord Luther." Count Dallaire smiled, got off the carriage first, and walked quickly towards the direction of the two-headed chimera that was landing.
Camacho followed closely behind.
"Huh? Count Dallaire is here too." Luther's eyes lit up and he was slightly surprised.
The governor of a county town came here specially, obviously, something important happened.
"Haha, Lord Luther, I didn't expect you to come so soon." Earl Dallaire laughed.
At the same time, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the people of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group.
But what disappointed him a little was that although the other party was a little chaotic, they were not panicked.
This was a little different from what he had expected before.
"Lord Luther, the gift we prepared for you is on the other party's cart." Earl Dallaire said meaningfully.
A few dozen meters away, Spencer saw this scene and couldn't help but be shocked and said:
"It's over, this Lord Luther is really here to support the Dallaire family!"
"Brother, what should we do? Lord Ryan is not here. If this Luther takes action, we..." Georgia's pretty face showed worry, and she said anxiously.
Although she believed that if Ryan was at the scene, no one could take the things on the cart, but the problem now was that Lord Ryan was not here.
"Georgia, you and the others go first, I'll stay here."
"Brother!" Georgia's beautiful eyes widened, and she didn't understand what her brother meant by this.
"Captain!" Several others also shouted.
"I'm just making the worst plan. If something happens to me, you must report this to Lord Ryan. I believe that Lord Ryan will properly settle you." Fandral waved his hand and said.
"Fandal, the Lord Ryan you are talking about, could it be the Lord Ryan who killed the Proto-Dragon Corahus?" Spencer on the side couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, Fandral naturally didn't need to hide it from his old friend anymore, and nodded.
"Fuck! I told you! How lucky are you? It turns out that Lord Ryan killed them all!" Spencer immediately figured it all out and shouted loudly.
The conversation here was heard by the powerful Luther not far away.
When Luther heard the news, he couldn't help but look strange.
