Chapter 593
Shortly after the team stopped, Clais and others came back. When they saw Lu Chen take out the ingredients and cooking utensils, they took the initiative to take on the task of cooking, which made Lu Chen, who was unable to get used to it, stunned for a moment. However, after thinking about the group of girls who were "raising the mouths" by him, they sat aside and enjoyed the fruits.
As for the food problems of others, it is not a big problem to give Vales a space ring. After all, there are not many valuable things in the city lord's mansion, and there is enough space to accommodate everyone's food for two or three days.
After that, except for some children who might be orphans or separated from their parents who were brought to the beauties who came back one after another, nothing happened. The entire team was as quiet as if they were in ambush after the meal, and they all entered a deep sleep.
Until a few hours later, when midnight approached, Vales in front of him had a big belly man with a red and swollen eyes, and he could have found Lu Chen.
"Karim?" Vales came to find him so late, and there must be something very important. It was the people around him who surprised Lu Chen and had a very bad premonition. After looking around, he asked what happened.
"Two people who should not be saved have disappeared. Although the matter may not be serious, I always feel that something is wrong. Karim also feels the same, so we can only disturb him." Vales didn't know where to start, and explained it and gave Karim a wink.
"Lord, thank you for remembering the name of the villain. This is the case. The villain clearly remembers that when he left the lord's mansion, Tony's two nephews followed everyone, and had seen them during the day, but at night I never saw them again, and I had also found them in front and behind the team." Karim said with some fear. Because as Vales said, this was not a big event worth disturbing the lord's rest.
"Tony's two nephews? How could they come out with them? Why didn't they stand with Tony to Skip?" It felt very bad. But they couldn't connect the matter. Lu Chen asked a question that was not the point.
"This~ I don't know. The two of them have not been in the city lord's mansion for a long time. They are very careful in their work, and they give people a feeling of timidity." Karim dared not answer and said what he knew, hoping to help Lu Chen a little.
I still couldn't think of the key, but I remember that the person who left the team at noon ran towards the south. Lu Chen asked casually: "Where is the place that keeps going south."
"There is nothing there, and it's still three or four days away from the next town, but the reinforcements coming from nearby may be in that direction... Strange, it's been so many days, so it's at least time to meet their reconnaissance." Vales thought, but then he was surprised to see Lu Chen flying into the sky.
The terrain nearby is very flat. But there are still many Xiaoqiu slopes a little further away, and there is a not too small one on the south side. After flying into the air regardless of the exposure of his strength, Lu Chen, who was reminded by Vales, really discovered a large number of people gathering on the flat ground behind Xiaoqiu. There was a group of more than a dozen investigators behind the top of the slope.
"No wonder the people from the Islands Alliance did not chase him... I should have thought of this damn beast Pratt." Although the reason why the Islands Alliance did not pursue was misunderstood, it was no longer so-called for the people on the run. Pratt who fled must be with the "reinforcements" who should come to rescue, and Lu Chen knew very well that he would definitely use the "reinforcements" to get rid of himself and Vales to preserve his status. The reason was just passed to him through Tony's two nephews. As long as he promised some benefits to "reinforcements", it would be a perfect ending without evidence. If it was handled well, he could even blame the Islands Alliance.
When he returned to the ground in a turmoil, should he temporarily leave these people behind, take Vales and the soldiers first, or stay stupidly, and try to fight against the pursuers who should have been "reinforcements" with the lives of three thousand soldiers, making it difficult for Lu Chen to make a decision. At this time, he realized that he was still just an ordinary person who could not let go. "Oh. It would be great if Luna was here at this time."
When Lu Chen sighed in his heart, Vales, who looked at his bad-faced face, couldn't help but ask: "Sir, is the enemy catching up with him? The team led by Prat?"
"It's almost the same, but it's not from the Island Alliance... Is there anything Brion that the neighbors of the surrounding friends have always coveted?" The large army must have been unable to escape this. Lu Chen was simply not anxious, and at the same time he was a little curious about the conditions used by Pratt to exchange with friends and friends.
Before Vales could react to what it means to be "not an enemy of the Island Alliance", Karim next to him felt strange and replied casually: "Friends? Most of them are only interested in the population of Bryon, and from time to time they will send people to lobby some residents to settle in their place."
"Sir, you mean that reinforcements are coming..." With Karim's confused answer, Vales finally understood, but he was also shocked by this fact.
Looking at Karim's expression of horror that also understood, Lu Chen, who guessed that Prais had granted his friend's neighbors, nodded and finished Vales's: "Yes, rob people, and we must also get rid of us to cover up his rebellious crimes and preserve his status as the city lord. Okay, transfer the central army to the front. If I guess correctly, the ambushing enemy should be waiting for their friendly troops to surround us and form an encirclement."
Not knowing what to say, but he was absolutely convinced by Lu Chen. Vales saluted and did what he should do. Moreover, he knew that the number of "reinforcements" would not fill a legion. As long as he could concentrate his strength and quickly kill one, there was still hope that he would defeat each one.
Karim, who was left behind, was a little at a loss. He was not a soldier, nor was he leaving. He was afraid of staying, and he didn't know what he should do, so he was stunned.
Fights are mostly inevitable, and Lu Chen doesn't want to make things difficult for this big-bellied man who was once with "Master Tony". However, there was a reason to let Clais and the others avoid this unsure battle. He used the excuse of "watching the people who came out from the city lord's mansion" to let the beauties put on ordinary cloaks and "accompany" Karim to join the people, so as not to become the target of "reinforcements".
Then, after ordering the back team to line up in a defensive formation, Lu Chen walked to the south side alone. Although he knew that it would not work if he showed his identity, he still wanted to try it. Moreover, no one would see what happened behind the hill. Just leave no one.
