67 Escort

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
There was another sound of horseshoes, and accompanied by the grunting of the wheels, the target that all the fighters of the Fontaine family had been waiting for finally appeared.

The long convoy, loaded with cargo, drove past the Fontaine family and the others one after another.

Maybe it was because he had just walked out of the mountain road that made people look changeable, and finally stepped on the official road that represented safety. Everyone in the convoy, including the warriors guarding on both sides, showed a look of relief on their faces.

It's now!

These people brought by Lothar are all experienced fighters, and they can see the enemy's current situation at a glance, which is the best time for a sneak attack.

The guards were on high alert along the way, and their spirits were tense.After leaving the dangerous place, it is inevitable that there will be a moment of relaxation.

This is the best opportunity.This is also the reason why they chose this place as an ambush raid location.

If you don't do it now, when will you wait?

It's a pity that all the warriors lurking in the surrounding rocks, behind the jungle and in the shadows did not wait for the signal to make a move.

Sweat dripped from Lothar's head, his face was ashen.He stared at the small group of cavalry dozens of steps away, wishing he could swallow them all alive.

The place is remote and uninhabited, and the patrols of Edinburgh City will not come to this place where the birds don't shit.But it is undeniable that this place also belongs to the jurisdiction of Edinburgh City.

In other words, the strict management regulations implemented by the Grand Duke of Matthias in Edinburgh City also apply here.

If the caravan attacking a nobleman is exposed in the wild mountains, it may damage the reputation of his family, be sanctioned by the noble senate, and be condemned by His Majesty the King.

In either case, it is always inseparable from the scope of struggle of the "nobility".The consequences are nothing more than an apology, compensation, or lowering the title, or even removing the title of Marquis.

However, if the matter takes place within the jurisdiction of the city of Edinburgh, the nature is completely different.What the Fontaine family violated was the law of the city lord, and what they will face directly will be the anger and severe punishment of the Grand Duke Mattesias.

And according to the iron-blooded style of that old soldier, it is not impossible to convict or even execute all the main members of the entire Fontaine family for such a vicious violent incident.

In comparison, losing in a business war, more than ten years of planning and painstaking efforts come to naught, and the consequences are more acceptable.

Lothar didn't dare to move, he couldn't drag the entire Fontaine family into the fire pit.

He could only grit his teeth and watch as Irving of the Hilton family and Anthony walked towards the Grand Duke's cavalry.

"Master Commander, I trouble you and all the brothers to come here to welcome you, Owen is really flattered." Owen greeted the leader of the cavalry.

The commander said politely: "In any case, this is the boundary of the city of Edinburgh. Protecting the legal business activities of the merchants in the city is the law set by the Grand Duke, which is our duty. Brother Owen, you don't need to be polite."

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and Anthony also stepped forward to meet the commander.

The commander had already heard about this young genius born like a comet.It is said that even the Grand Duke himself seemed to admire him very much.The commander naturally smiled at each other, not daring to put on airs.

The two teams gathered at one place and marched in the direction of Edinburgh City.

Suddenly, Anthony pointed with his left hand, and a light flashed from his fingertips, flying into the sky.

The commander who was walking in front seemed to have checked something, turned his head and frowned and asked, "Mr. Anthony, what's the matter?"

Anthony waved his hand: "It's okay."

The commander suppressed his doubts and didn't ask any more questions.

There was a vague smile on the corner of Anthony's mouth, and he glanced at a large rock on the left, intentionally or unintentionally.

In the sky, on the very high top of a towering tree, a strange eyeball condensed by magic, which was located extremely concealed, exploded with a bang and disappeared without a trace.

……

The sun was setting and it was almost dusk.

After more than two months, the caravan, which was not expected, finally returned successfully, loaded with best-selling goods and the hopes of the Hilton family.

In the city of Edinburgh, a large-scale commercial war that has reached a feverish stage has suddenly added a huge variable.After a short period of calm, there will be waves again.

But this time, the offensive and defensive momentum between the Hilton family and the many nobles in Edinburgh may be completely reversed.

After entering the gate of Edinburgh, the commander left with a cavalry squad satisfied.There was also a small box that left with him.

This is why he was willing to take his cavalry squad to meet, or escort the Hilton caravan back.

The Grand Duke of Matthias is extremely strict, and the commander absolutely dare not do soliciting and accepting bribes.Therefore, what was in the box, he paid for.

However, this does not mean that the commander does not owe the Hilton family favor.After all, in many cases, money may not necessarily buy what you want.

Moreover, Owen is very good at being a man. He only charged a price a little higher than the cost price, which allowed him to get benefits without leaving any excuses.

Although he did benefit from it, it was still within the limits. Presumably the Grand Duke would not blame him even if he knew about it.

"Of course I don't blame him."

Grand Duke Mattesias stood on top of the tall tower, watching silently below.

"This old man has led the army for dozens of years. I can understand the way of managing people and employing people. 'When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the people are observant, there will be no disciples'. I know how tight it is. They These people also know my temperament and dare not easily violate the bottom line I set."

Standing side by side with him was still the skinny old magician.

"I knew that you were taking sides with that kid."

The Grand Duke knew his friend's temperament, so he didn't take it seriously: "This time, the nobles headed by the Fontaine family went a little too far. But what they are doing is an upright business war, using formal business methods. All Behaviors are all within the rules. The rules I set myself are not easy to break by myself. Even if I want to help the Hilton family, there is nowhere to start."

"But the Hilton family, I must keep it."

"The old aristocrats in Edinburgh are rigid in their thinking and do things in a conservative manner. They have already constituted an obstacle to Edinburgh's economic development. But their network of relationships is criss-crossed and intricate. Even I dare not touch them easily."

"The sudden rise of the Hilton family has broken this solid power structure and injected vitality into the backwater of business in Edinburgh."

"This emerging force that finally appeared, of course I can't let it be wiped out easily. If there is no success for this caravan, I have already planned to let the people below take action to help them tide over the difficulties."

"But now it seems that I don't need to worry about it. Hehe!"

The old magician seemed to be a quarrelsome person, who only found fault.

"So you know that there is a change in the Fontaine family, and when Hilton finds someone to contact the commander, let them go? Are you not afraid that the Fontaine family will take risks and even eat your small cavalry?"

"No matter who it is, no matter which family, in my territory, you have to follow my rules. Even the three brothers of the Fontaine family, with the courage of their two, dare not attack my soldiers."

At this moment, the eyes of the Grand Duke Mattesias were like knives, and his whole body exuded the iron and blood smell of gold and iron horses.

"Besides, even if they have the guts, they don't have the ability! Hmph!"
