Chapter 189 Seeing Through but Not Telling
The large army of wild orcs outside slowly walked towards the east. Because the team was too large, the speed was not very fast. And the enemy had a large number of people, Chi Nan did not dare to relax, and could only stare at them here.
He was not sure whether these wild orcs would go crazy and attack him again. Unfortunately, the number of their troops here was too small, and they could not take the initiative to attack. None of the evil beast dogs outside were used just now.
The speed of evil beast dogs was faster than cavalry, and they were not suitable for siege, but on the plains, they were simply a nightmare for humans.
After a while, the nobles ran back again. "Aren't you going to report the news? Why are you back?" Chi Nan did not turn his head back, with a strange smile on his face.
Even Mo Cha wiped a cold sweat, and then looked at them with some contempt. "What a group of idiots without eyesight, they don't even know when to do what." In fact, Mo Cha was also very scared just now.
If Chi Nan had not acted so decisively, he might have found an excuse to escape. But before he wanted to escape, Chi Nan had already crippled those wild orcs by himself.
At this time, Mo Cha was very proud. Look, how foresighted he was. He knew that Chi Nan would definitely win. Otherwise, how could he be so calm and composed? It must be like this. And after this time, he could also feel that the gap between him and Chi Nan was much smaller, and they would definitely be able to cooperate more closely in the future.
"Haha, that, we just wanted to report the news, but isn't it okay?"
"That's right, we really didn't run away. We asked you to follow us before."
"It's all Mr. Chi Nan's fault. Why didn't you tell us earlier that this fortress is so powerful? If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have to rush to ask for reinforcements. You can't do this. You scared us to death."
These nobles began to make excuses, and Chi Nan didn't say anything. Didn't he say that sentence, see through it but don't say it, and continue to be friends. And Chi Nan is not really so sure.
At this moment, the invisible magic power under Chi Nan's feet was constantly surging out. Chi Nan was using his magic power to replenish the shells that the pneumatic cannons had just consumed. Maybe he would have to face the next battle later.
"This is just for this time. Don't do this again in the future." Mo Cha said calmly.
Others had no way to refute. Although Mo Cha was only a baron like them, he would definitely be promoted to a viscount after this battle because Mo Cha had gained a lot of military merits.
And there was a big man behind Mo Cha, who was not someone they could afford to provoke. Although their identities seemed to be the same, they were actually completely different. They couldn't afford to offend these two people.
There were two nobles who had been following Mo Cha before and had not left. At this time, the two finally recovered from their weak hands and feet. Looking at these servile guys, the two did not speak, but the disdain in their eyes was not concealed. Sometimes, a little mistake in choice can have such a huge impact.
Others looked at the two people with envy, and their hearts were full of jealousy. Needless to say, these two people will definitely be appreciated by Chi Nan, and they will be Mo Cha's confidants in the future, and they have a bright future.
"We are all good comrades, and someone should have reported the news. This time I was wrong. If I had let you know the intensity of the attack here earlier, it wouldn't be like this." Chi Nan thought about it and finally spoke.
The other nobles breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't really want to throw the mistake on Chi Nan, but just used a joking tone to test Chi Nan's tone. Fortunately, Chi Nan was as easy to talk to as always.
"No, no, we are also wrong. Sir Chi Nan told us before that if we could trust you, we wouldn't make such a joke. This time is an unprecedented victory. We will definitely report all the battles here to the front line. This time, the credit is all yours, Sir Chi Nan."
Chi Nan nodded slightly. They were expressing goodwill to him. Similarly, they also asked him not to tell others about their performance. After communicating with these guys for so long, Chi Nan had some understanding.
Nodding slightly, Chi Nan whispered: "I know, everyone is very brave, this credit is not just my own, if it weren't for everyone's help, this giant wood city would not have been built."
Everyone carried the flowery sedan chair, who doesn't know how to say nice things. Soon, the atmosphere among the crowd began to heat up quickly and gradually became relaxed. But these people were still looking at Chi Nan carefully.
Chi Nan didn't understand, but Mo Cha knew something. Mo Cha showed a weird smile and said to Chi Nan intentionally or unintentionally: "Mr. Chi Nan, you have helped them a lot recently. They have a lot of spare money in their hands, and they just want to repay you." Others nodded.
"We are all friends. Don't call me Your Excellency anymore. Just call me by my name."
Mo Cha's smile became even brighter: "Okay, I'll call you Chi Nan, and you can call me by my name Mo Cha."
Chi Nan lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally said: "Everyone, my territory is still very short of people recently, especially with the new territory. I wonder if you can help me with this."
Several people were relieved immediately. It was just a population, which was nothing to them. "Don't worry, Lord Chi Nan. We have a lot of refugees there. We don't know how to feed them now. Just in case you need them, we will send them to you some other day."
"That's right, it's just a few refugees. We don't care at all." For these ordinary civilians, the nobles were not worth mentioning. They were originally prepared for a big loss, but Chi Nan was as easy to talk to as always. He was really a good comrade. It's just a few people. If it's not enough, we can get it from other provinces.
Now many nobles in many provinces are worried about too many civilians. In the eyes of many nobles, so many civilians around are simply an insult to their status.
"Then I'm relieved." Chi Nan's face was slightly pale. Just now, in order to replenish the shells consumed by the thousand pneumatic cannons, his magic power was consumed a little too much. To restore the magic power, I'm afraid I have to rest for a while.
At this moment, Mocha's eyes suddenly looked into the distance: "Look, what are they doing?" Following the direction of Mocha's sight, everyone looked towards the river. These wild orcs actually did something that surprised and puzzled them.
