Chapter 222

Looking down at the land of Oran from the sky, there are some differences compared to before—there are significantly fewer merchant ships on the river, and if you observe at night, there are no fires in many villages. This is a way to make yourself inconspicuous. Perhaps it was the fear of being approached by unrestrained soldiers nearby, or it might be an instinctive self-preservation behavior. In short, the country seemed much quieter at night.

The vultures were flying very fast, and they arrived in the east of Oran in one day and night. They stopped at a seaport city called Driftwood City, where they planned to meet.

The size of the city is not large, but it can be called lively. The dispute in the core area of ​​Oran does not seem to have much impact on the city. The pedestrians on the street are basically not worried, and there are also a lot of fishing boats staying in the harbor. .

In order to hide in Olivia's cloak, Tang Zhao satisfied the previous resentment. Compared with Bourne, a dwarf with white hair and lingering smell of mud and coal mines who is hundreds of years older In general, it is more comfortable to get along with elves.

The agreed place was an ordinary-looking tavern, and Tang Zhao didn't find any plainclothes guards in the lobby on the first floor.

Olivia wore a thick cloak to hide her conspicuous elf appearance, and some magic that affected cognition was attached to it, so she could basically move around in the human world without restriction.

Quietly coming to the bar, she asked, "On the second floor, Mr. Roberts booked a room. He should have said that there are guests coming."

The shop owner seemed to be unaware of it: "There is indeed such a thing, room 213 is it."

Olivia nodded to him in thanks, and immediately came to room 213. After knocking on the door, Julia opened the door without answering the signal within a few seconds.

It seems that the relationship between Olivia and Julia is not close. After the polite greeting, the two stopped talking. Olivia coughed twice, indicating that Tang Zhao could come forward.

Tang Zhao also got out of the opponent's cloak naturally, staring straight at Julia.

【Personally, I suggest you be careful. Security work is necessary at any time. If you lose your life or be hijacked at this time, it will be very difficult for me. 】

"Just don't worry, I have a good understanding of the surrounding environment, and it will be safe here for at least three days."

【So within three days, can you bring in soldiers? 】

Tang Zhao understood another layer of meaning in the other party's words, and this place will attract attention in three days.

"Almost, Lord Carlos, you can read it yourself." After finishing speaking, she handed Tang Zhao a map, and the accuracy was not easy at first glance.

This world is not in the information age. An accurate map is worth a thousand dollars. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the winner of a war. Only a few businessmen, scholars, spellcasters and the army will have this kind of thing. Look at the densely packed Annotated and detailed terrain depiction, this is most likely a military map.

"A professional consultant group and ranger group of about 500 people were hired from the elves, and with the help of some of my business partners, about 4000 people are rushing here by boat, and the destination is Yintao City."

After the demons happened last time, the positioning of Yintao City is very delicate. The king approved the request of "exchanging territories" put forward by the Castei family, and exchanged Yintao City for a lower-middle-level common earldom , the family that inherited the territory has changed. The pedigree is not that of Erwin, but another branch. The ability is mediocre but the idea is very good. They want to rely on the method of first attaching to the Castei family to obtain the title of lord. power.

The Castei family accepted their allegiance and gave the family a legitimate fief, but the importance is obviously not as high as that of Yintao City, which is one of the top port cities in the country.

Now Yintao City still has nearly 4000 or even more Casdeil family garrisons, and [-] reinforcements who are not familiar with the place must not be able to take down this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack city. Tang Zhao resisted there before. The attack of the murlocs from the sea is very clear about this. The port area of ​​Yintao City has put in a certain amount of effort when designing it. Now, in order to prevent the murlocs, it must be reinforced.

[So how do you want to enter the city?A frontal attack is definitely not enough. 】

"Norton said that he will find a way to solve it, and he will come to Yintao City to assist at that time, and at the same time I hope you can help." Julia paused, "First of all, how much should you do with the terrain of the city and the secret passage of the sewer? I also have the impression that we may need your help in this regard."

[There is no problem with this, it is my job.I keep the basic map of Yintao City and the sewer map, which can be used by you. 】

The former is what Erwin brought, while the latter is the precious information that Tang Zhao himself explored through the sewer.

"The other thing is about the church of Haim. What do you think is the probability of persuading them to help us?"

[Zero, there is no doubt that they are not interested in the affairs of human regimes. 】

The church of Helm has nearly two thousand well-equipped heavy armored soldiers, fortresses all over the country in many big cities and a considerable share of horse resources, which can be regarded as a force for any country, but it is obvious that this The power is not under the jurisdiction of the king, and they have not sworn allegiance to them, but the Oran royal family is still quite at ease with this organization, and provides funds on time every year. Of course, there are reasons behind this.

The Church of Helm is less interested in secular power than most churches. On the contrary, what they pursue is order, stability and justice. For people in this era, the royal family of Oran can still meet these requirements, so they have no reason to oppose the royal family , On the contrary, it still supports the royal family most of the time.

That's why the royal family gives them regular funding.Quan Dang raised a high-standard security force for himself at a low price, and it didn't do much harm and he could still earn a reputation.

At the same time, the Church of Helm is not interested in participating in political struggles. The succession of the throne is not within their jurisdiction, and the probability of their participation is infinitely close to zero.

For example, in the case of Luford, the Church of Helm did not join any party on the most intense night, but strictly maintained neutrality. It only helped to maintain law and order after Norton's troops moved in, and did not do anything else.

"What if I can prove that the first and second princes are involved with demons and hobgoblins?"

[Although I seriously doubt the authenticity of this matter, but to be honest, once these two races are involved, the Church of Heim needs to take action. 】

The Church of Heim has absolutely zero tolerance towards demons. There is no doubt about it. The attitude towards hobgoblins is also very bad. The expansion and aggressiveness of this race is very unpleasant. extended to the racial level.

"That's good, please give us an opportunity to meet and talk with the senior management of the Haim Church, so that they can listen to me carefully. I think I can make them change their minds."

Tang Zhao glanced at the other party, finally nodded slowly, agreeing.
