Chapter 79 House Arrest
Gross left quickly and came back quickly.
Seeing Gross turning around, the spirits of the people still watching suddenly lifted up. The Rogge camp mission has not yet been expelled from Lugaoyin. And Gross, the most popular person in front of His Majesty Jehain, did not order these country bumpkins to be driven away on the spot. There is no secret in it, only a fool would believe it.
"Your Majesty is busy with business, please ask me to take you to the palace." Gross's face was a little gloomy. Whoever had been threatened by Chi Guoguo would not look good. What's more, it's people from Rogge's camp. Especially this damn benefactor.
"Then forget it." Lan Wu didn't care and emphasized his pronunciation again: "Please take us to the port. We will never violate Lu Gaoyin's decree."
Gross's temples swelled and his mood became even worse. This trick is not clever, but the effect is surprisingly good. Tristram is one of the most famous ancient ruins among humans. Even an idiot knows what this ancient ruin represents.
Lugaoyin also has similar ancient ruins. The seven tombs of Tarasha. It was precisely through the excavation of these seven ancient tombs that Lu Gaoyin rose to prominence, vaguely surpassing Kurast Seaport. However, after so many years of excavation, the value of these seven ancient tombs has been far less than the original value. Lugoin wants to surpass the seaport of Kurast in one fell swoop, and Tristram is bound to win.
But the people are simply grasping this point. If you don't come out to wash away my shame, then I will go to Kurast Seaport.
Facing one of the most famous ancient ruins, will Kurast Seaport not be moved?
Gross is no idiot. You can know this answer just by thinking about it. Lu Gaoyin was watching eagerly from behind, and Kurast Harbor happened to be following the trend and jumped in to share a piece of cake. It doesn't matter the size, it's better than letting Lu Gaoyin get a piece of it.
"The devil has been making a lot of noise recently. Your Majesty has to plan carefully to destroy the devil's conspiracy." Gross lowered his attitude again and explained patiently.
"That's such a pity." Lan Wu shook his head and regretted: "Roger Camp is facing a huge disaster. We can't afford to wait. Please take us to the port. We need to set off to Kurast Seaport immediately to seek assistance."
Gross's temples jumped again. I'm afraid even a child can't be fooled by this kind of lie. He had received the message. Bisu Bosu's mutated army of fallen demons redirected its direction and surrounded Rogge's camp. There was less than two months left in Rogge's camp. As for the trip from Lugaoyin to Kurast Seaport, it will take at least a month if the Twin Seas are calm. Even if Kurast Seaport promised assistance, it would not be able to rescue Rogge Camp in time.
But he couldn't break it.
The envoy sent from the Rogge camp asked Jehain to assist the Rogge camp. It was he who persuaded Jehaine to give up rescuing Rogge's camp on the grounds that Lu Gaoyin was facing greater pressure in order to gain greater benefits. Now Lanwu is rebelling against an army and bluntly said that he is going to the Kurast seaport to ask for help. If he doesn't agree, once Rogge's camp is destroyed by Bisu Bosu, the trouble Lu Gaoyin faces will not be easily resolved.
Lugaoyin is a desert city. Although it is rich in products, it is located in a desert after all, and has to rely on importing scarce raw materials from Kurast Seaport, Demon Fortress and other places. Putting aside the Demon Fortress, Lu Gaoyin had long been displeased with him at the Kurast Seaport, but he had to swallow his anger due to human feelings.
Rogge's camp was destroyed by demons, and Kurast Seaport used this excuse to call on Demon Fortress and Harrogath to protest together. As one of the last strongholds of mankind, Rogge Camp was destroyed, while Lu Gaoyin, who was the closest, stood idly by. Lu Gaoyin could not escape the relationship regardless of emotion or reason. The end result is clear.
embargo.
Once the three major human strongholds impose sanctions on Lu Gaoyin, Lu Gaoyin will inevitably decline. Nothing can be seen in the short term. But over time, what was once a desert pearl will turn into a handful of yellow sand in the desert.
He couldn't afford it, and neither could Jehain.
But just by giving in, the Rogge camp took the initiative, and the benefits left to Lu Gaoyin must not be very large. This is definitely not in Lu Gaoyin’s interests.
It doesn't work if you agree, and it doesn't work if you don't agree.
As his mind raced, Gross felt extremely miserable. Now he only hates that some kind of divine benefactor jumped out of Rogge's camp. If it weren't for this weak soul, Lu Gaoyin could have taken advantage of the situation to gain maximum benefits. Based on the character of those with titles like Akara, it is basically determined.
Firstly, it will continue to suppress the development of Rogge's camp, and secondly, it can strengthen Lu Gaoyin's strength.
But as soon as this damn Hun Dan appeared, Lu Gaoyin made mistakes one after another. Not only did he lose his yearning for the professionals in Rogge's camp, but he also lost the initiative at such an important juncture.
"I will continue to ask for your Majesty's instructions." Gross was holding back his anger and pretended to be calm. But he also knew how weak this reason was. So he made another suggestion: "You can take advantage of this time to go find Graz. He is the leader of all mercenaries in Lu Gaoyin. As long as you pay a suitable price, I think he will agree to provide a group of mercenaries."
After a brief pause, Gross raised his chin proudly and added: "Lu Gaoyin's mercenaries are the best mercenaries."
"Okay." Lan Wu thought for a while and agreed readily.
After getting Lan Wu's answer, Gros secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, this damned bastard was left here. As long as it drags on for a while, even if he regrets it at that time, this damned bastard will not go to Kurast Harbor for help. Then Lugoin will take the initiative again and try to gain the most benefits.
For example, he will ask for half of the land ownership of Tristram.
Thinking of this, Gros was in a good mood and invited enthusiastically: "I have prepared a place for you to stay. Believe me, this is definitely a treatment you have never enjoyed before."
Lan Wu curled his lips slightly and was too lazy to pay attention. This Lugoin man always has an inexplicable pride. I don't know what kind of wonderful expression this proud Lugoin man will have when he is surpassed by the Rogue Camp in the future.
Avila and the others were also very angry about Gros's inexplicable pride. Helplessly seeing that Lan Wu didn't say a word, they had to swallow their anger and ask him carefully when no one was around.
Gross looked at him, and the captain of the city guard waved his hand in frustration and ordered the guards to stand on both sides of the street with the most honorable etiquette, and raised their spears at the same time.
At this time, the professionals and civilians who were waiting to watch the excitement were not happy. How could a few country bumpkins enjoy such high etiquette. They were immediately excited, and they were clamoring loudly as if they were afraid that the world would not be in chaos, protesting that Lu Gaoyin had lost his due self-esteem.
Seeing these lowly professionals and civilians dare to question, Gross's mood, which had just improved, suddenly became bad again. He snorted heavily. The captain of the city guard immediately understood, waved his hand, and ordered his men to show these bastards a little color.
The restlessness was quickly suppressed. Facing the sharp spears in the hands of the guards, no one dared to take the opportunity to clamor for everyone to make trouble. After thousands of years of development, Lu Gaoyin's imperial power has been thoroughly consolidated. No one dared to disobey the city guards who symbolize imperial power.
"Sorry." Gross saluted apologetically.
"It's okay." Lan Wu accepted the apology.
"Then please follow me." Gross smiled reservedly and walked in front to lead the way.
The group passed through four city walls and finally came to a magnificent hotel in the inner city. Gross stopped, turned around and smiled: "This is the most luxurious hotel in Lu Gaoyin. I believe you will be satisfied."
Lan Wu was about to say a few polite words. But Avila and the others couldn't hold it anymore. They sent Gross away with a few words and pushed him into a luxurious room on the top floor.
"We haven't washed away the shame of the Rogue Camp." Xia Ya took the lead in firing, baring her teeth and claws, and was very angry.
"Today's retreat is for tomorrow's advance." Lan Wu raised his hands helplessly and surrendered: "Jehain would never take the initiative to show up in front of so many people to greet us. Unless he wants Lu Gaoyin to collapse completely."
In just two sentences, the angry Xia Ya became a quiet Xia Ya. She was able to become Kidd's student, and her mind was quite fast. She had to admit that Lan Wu's explanation was very correct.
The reason why Lugaoin can develop rapidly. In addition to the excavation of ancient ruins, the main reason is that the professionals and civilians in Lugaoin are afraid of the imperial power. Just like the previous Rogue Camp, people are not united, and there is only decline. Lugaoin has everyone's heart, and all the forces are twisted into a rope. It would be strange if it did not develop rapidly.
Once Jehain appeared in the public eye and personally welcomed the delegation back to the Rogue Camp. This will inevitably leave an impression in everyone's mind that Lugaoin has declined, so the status of the Rogue Camp has to be raised.
If people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.
By that time, Lugaoin will be like the previous Rogue Camp. Professionals are yearning for the Kurast Harbor. Civilians will also escape from Lugaoin's broken ship through various channels.
After thinking this through, Avila and others no longer questioned Lan Wu's decision, but were more convinced. Lan Wu took the opportunity to give them another reassurance.
"Gross mentioned Gretz. This is the condition he specifically proposed to make up for the relationship between the two sides." Lan Wu smiled and patiently explained: "Lu Gaoyin's mercenaries are of good quality. If we can hire a group of mercenaries from Gretz, the Rogue Camp will be safer. So we need official affirmation. Obviously, this guy Gross is very sensible."
After explaining this step, Avila and the other two finally put their minds at ease. With Lu Gaoyin's mercenaries, it is not so important whether Jehain sends assistance.
"Then we will go to find that Gretz next?" Xia was thoughtful and a little uncertain.
"We have been under house arrest." Avila answered this question for Lan Wu: "Guards are arranged around this hotel. I believe they are not here to protect us."
"Not bad." Lan Wu didn't care, leaning on the soft blanket and looking at the white ceiling, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth: "So what we have to do now is to have a good rest."
Sorry, I was a bit busy during this period, and the chapters I coded were not ideal. It's rare that I have time today, so I reviewed it carefully again, and found many problems. So I have to sort it out carefully. I can't just pursue the number of words and ignore the quality, right? Everyone has to pursue something, and I am no exception. So there is only one chapter today. The chapters in the next two days may also be boring. I have to make up for the problems that I didn't notice before. Please forgive me.
