Chapter 142: Unexpected Reinforcements

“Diles, what do you think?” Old Xie heard this and turned to ask Diles.

“Young Master, although most Mercenary Groups do collude with Pirates, there is at least one Mercenary Group that doesn’t, and their strength is also very strong, but the most critical thing is that they will definitely not betray you, Young Master!” Diles said with a smile.

“Won’t betray me?” Old Xie was stunned for a moment, then said, “Why is that?”

“Oh!” Diles looked around hesitantly, then said carefully, “There is a hidden reason for this, which is not suitable to say in front of outsiders!” Obviously, he wanted to discuss it with Old Xie alone.

Constantine was very sensible and smiled directly, “Then you talk first, I will prepare breakfast!”

Seeing this, the others also immediately moved away consciously.

However, Old Xie grabbed Constantine and said directly, “Why move away? I have no secrets from you. Diles, speak!”

Constantine was naturally very moved by Old Xie’s trust. She originally thought that Old Xie was just being polite to her, but after Old Xie’s strong hand tightly grasped her, she knew that Old Xie was serious. So she silently kept this trust in her heart, and then faced Diles calmly.

Seeing that Old Xie trusted Constantine so much, Diles was also a little surprised, but he quickly reacted. Since Old Xie didn’t care, he didn’t need to be meddlesome. So he quickly explained, “It’s like this, this Mercenary Group has 300 people, all of whom are strong, because they are all elite Warriors from the Barbarian Plateau. The leader is a Sword Saint who has just entered the Saint Domain realm, named Sven, known as God’s Warrior!”

After hearing this, Old Xie scratched his head, then asked puzzledly, “These guys sound good, but why do you say they will definitely not betray me?”

“Young Master, according to my inquiry, this group of people comes from the same Barbarian tribe, seems to be called Cangxue, do you have any impression?” Diles continued to hint.

“Of course not!” Old Xie said impatiently, “The Barbarian Wasteland is at least 3000 li away from the Imperial Capital. The altitude there is extremely high, and transportation is inconvenient. There are hundreds of large and small tribes. How would I know this Cangxue tribe?”

“Oh my!” Diles anxiously patted his thigh, then simply said, “Young Master, your mother comes from the Cangxue tribe, and she is the little daughter of the tribal chief!”

“Oh!” Hearing this, Old Xie was immediately stunned on the spot. He then remembered that Little Stephen’s mother came from the Barbarian Plateau.

Seeing Old Xie stunned, Diles continued, “I have found out secretly that this Sven should be the eldest son of the Cangxue chief, that is to say, he is your eldest uncle!”

Now Old Xie and Constantine both understood, no wonder Diles said the other party would not betray him, it turned out they were relatives. However, in the eyes of Human Race Nobles, having a group of Barbarians as relatives was a very shameful thing, so Diles was afraid that Old Xie would be unhappy if he said it directly, so he was so secretive.

“Cough cough!” Old Xie coughed twice, then said, “Diles, you don’t need to hide this in the future. Isn’t it just a Barbarian relative? What’s the big deal?”

“Yes, yes!” Diles hurriedly nodded in agreement.

“Hmm, let me ask you, what kind of person is this Sven?” Old Xie asked.

“He is a guy who is upright to the point of being pedantic. Anyway, in the City of Chaos, he often meddles in other people’s business. Whenever he sees bullying of the weak, he will definitely intervene. If he wasn’t strong and his subordinates fierce enough, he would have died many times already!” Diles smiled bitterly, “However, he has offended many people, including Merchants, so his life in the City of Chaos is very bad, almost to the point of begging!”

“A guy who came down from the Barbarian Plateau is actually upright?” Old Xie immediately felt a headache and could not help but ask strangely, “Are you sure you’re not talking nonsense?”

“Young Master, how dare I talk nonsense to you?” Diles hurriedly said, “What I said is true. This Sven is different from other Barbarians. He looks like he has converted to some religion. Anyway, he is indeed very weird!”

“Converted to religion?” Old Xie asked puzzledly, “I don’t remember there being any religion on the Barbarian Wasteland? Constantine, do you know?”

“I don’t know either!” Constantine shook her head, “I remember that Barbarians believe in ancestors, so they have no religion and only worship the Soul of their ancestors.”

“That’s strange!” Old Xie thought for a while and said, “Forget it, never mind, since we have this connection, we can’t give it up. Let’s venture into the City of Chaos!”

“Okay!” Constantine also nodded in agreement.

Next, everyone prepared breakfast, and after eating, they set off. However, this action was a bit troublesome. You know, although Constantine’s original 500 people were all cavalry, during the battle, because they had to hold the cliff, they lost all their Mounts, which became food for the Pirates, so they had no means of transportation now.

Others were okay to talk about, they could walk with their legs, but those few seriously wounded were not okay. Although the Elf Mage had released healing spells on them, the injuries were too severe to recover in a short time. So these people were now having difficulty even moving, let alone walking. Helplessly, Old Xie could only wrong Chris Chen, letting him and his bear cub act as Mounts for the wounded to ride. The others still had to walk.

Constantine was a Mage and didn’t do much physical labor usually. After walking on the mountain road for only an hour, she was out of breath and sweating. Old Xie felt sorry for her and simply carried her on his back. Constantine didn’t want to drag Old Xie down at first, but she was no match for Old Xie’s strength and was forced onto his back, so she had to accept this kindness, but she still felt sweet in her heart.

Although carrying a person, for Old Xie’s physical strength, it was nothing. He could even talk and laugh with Constantine on the difficult journey. After walking for a whole day, Old Xie didn’t even break a sweat. Such abundant physical strength not only surprised Constantine, but even those Warrior Experts couldn’t help being shocked. You know, even if they walked for a day, their legs would definitely be weak! They couldn’t understand why a Mage could walk so easily while carrying someone.

Due to the rugged mountain road, after walking for a day, everyone only advanced a few dozen li. Seeing that everyone was a little tired, Old Xie found a shady slope and ordered everyone to set up camp.

Actually, it was just setting up tents and making a fire to cook. Everyone present was a strong Expert, and they had all experienced the outside world, so they were familiar with this and quickly prepared everything. Old Xie even prepared hot water for Constantine to wash her feet. Of course, the reason why he was so diligent was probably for impure purposes. Constantine obviously saw through Old Xie’s conspiracy, but she didn’t expose it. Instead, she blushed and let Old Xie fiddle with her flawless jade feet.

Old Xie was well-versed in massage techniques. While washing the beauty’s feet, he did not forget to use this to help Constantine eliminate fatigue. Under the bursts of warm stimulation, Constantine couldn’t help but moan comfortably. Unknowingly, Old Xie leaned close to her face, and then, there was a long kiss. Hehe, this was Old Xie’s final insidious purpose. If the occasion wasn’t wrong, Old Xie would definitely have taken Constantine right then and there. Unfortunately, it really wasn’t the place, so he could only settle for a kiss.

After lingering in the tent for a while, the two came out to eat. While eating, Old Xie began to ask, “Constantine, what kind of city is this City of Chaos? I want to know in advance so I don’t get into trouble after entering!”

“How should I put it!” Constantine thought for a while, then said, “To put it plainly, the City of Chaos is actually a big vegetable market. Here, there is no government, no security, everything depends on strength. All shops must protect their own property. If you are robbed by a powerful group, you either fight back desperately and kill them, or you are killed by them. Anyway, there is no third way to go! No matter who dies, no one will be held responsible.”

“So chaotic? Then who dares to do business there?” Old Xie immediately asked puzzled.

“It’s a little better in the city, because those adjacent Merchants have united now. If outsiders dare to rob, robbing one shop will attract the Guards of all the shops on the whole street. Generally speaking, this number can be thousands or even tens of thousands. So, even large Pirate organizations dare not easily rob in the city.” Constantine explained, “However, outside the city, it’s a different story. So generally speaking, people who go out of the city cannot have less than 200 people. Any less, and it’s easy to be attacked.”

“200?” Old Xie smiled bitterly, “Then your 500 were still wiped out?”

“This time was an accident!” Constantine smiled bitterly, “Who knew Tianfeng Fourteen Lang would mobilize an army of 5,000 people? You know, this is almost all of the Black Dragon Society’s subordinates in the City of Chaos. Normally, my 500 elites are already a lot! No one would dare to have ideas about them! And, the most annoying thing is that I suffered from a sneak attack this time. If I had known that Tianfeng Fourteen Lang was going to ambush me, I would have used the speed of the horses to shake him off and not given him a chance to sneak attack!”
