Chapter 29 Boomerang

In the basement of the Fisher family, the three family members were silent for a brief moment.

Byrne even had a sense of luck and wanted to say whether the Rhiya army would bypass Nasir Town, but in the end he could not say it.

The Rhea and the Siyat are the two most feuding countries among the four eastern countries. The two sides conquered and plundered each other for decades before the peace agreement was signed. The last battle took place on the border between the two countries twelve years ago. The casualties were extremely heavy, and the memories of many Siyat people are still there.

The Rhea people are ferocious and brutal, and are far less civilized than the Siat people in the mainstream perception.

They are even one of the very few countries on the continent of Oden that still belongs to the feudal lord system. The cohesion and control of the kings of the Rhea people have been strong and weak.

After thinking about it, Eileen asked: "How is Nasir's situation now?"

Lucius said: "The news hasn't been released yet, it's just been circulated among the major families, but I think it will be a matter of time before it spreads throughout the city."

He narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "I don't know how many people there are in the Rhea army, and I don't know when Siat's reinforcements will arrive, but in short, we can't gamble."

The permanent armed force in Nasir Town is a patrol team of more than a hundred equipped with flintlock guns. Counting the extraordinary people and guards from various major families, there are only about 300 people in the town who can go to the battlefield.

Moreover, they are not professional soldiers, and their actual combat effectiveness is completely incomparable.

"Every family is packing up their valuables and preparing to leave Nasir temporarily. I think fleeing to Fein City is the best route."

"good."

After the decision was made, the three of them did not hesitate for a moment and went to do what they had to do.

Irene was responsible for what valuables to take away, while Lucius went to call the guards and servants of the Fisher family to explain the situation, and asked them to immediately notify the family to bring the things.

Lucius suddenly said: "Byrne, you go to the Taylor family immediately. Our investment and fifteen gold coins will not be recovered."

Not long ago, Byrne spent another sum of money on drug research. Now the Fein family only has about ten gold coins in remaining assets, which may not be enough on the way to escape.

Byrne had just left home and when he came to the street, he knew that the news had spread. People were in a hurry and running around very anxiously.

Because the servants of each Nasir family are related to many people in the town, they are passed on from one to ten, and from one to another, it is impossible to keep the secret.

He jogged all the way through the noisy streets to the Taylor family, only to find that the entire family residence was empty.

Byrne was stunned for a long time, and then realized that the remaining half of the money could not be recovered for the time being.

However, the Taylor family can't run away forever. As long as they are still on the east coast, Byrne doesn't believe he can't find them.

And he also believed in his heart that Robert, who had known him for several years, would not easily default on his debt.

When Byrne returned to the family, all the surrounding families were in a state of panic.

No, he soon realized that it was not just the people on this street that were shaken by fear, but that the entire town of Nasir was in great panic.

Without Baron Hoven, the mayor could not count on him at all. There was no one to lead the people in the town to resist, and everyone wanted to escape quickly.

Most of the adults in Nasir have experienced war, so they naturally know how worthless human life is when the war breaks out, and they are instantly overcome with great fear.

And just as Lucius thought, many people decided to flee to Fein, the safest city in the west, which was the only city on the east coast. The entire escape team soon became huge.

Dozens of people from the Fisher family were mixed in with the first batch of thousands of people fleeing. The old Raymond family of the blacksmith shop and the family of merchant John also followed them. The final number was almost a hundred people.

Eileen suddenly and strangely found that old Raymond had become very clear-headed and spoke and acted in an orderly manner.

The escape begins.

With their families and their families carrying a lot of belongings, it would take about seven or eight days for the entire fleeing army to reach Fein City. In addition, the snowy environment has a great impact, and the final time will be delayed even longer. longer.

On the third night of the escape, the weather in the wild became colder and colder.

The snowflakes dance gently, weaving a pure picture in the air. They float like elves, brushing against everything on the earth.

At sunset, thousands of fleeing refugees chose to camp en masse next to a wooded area after crossing an icy river.

In the past few days, various situations have emerged among the fleeing refugees, with frequent thefts and even outright robberies.

The mayor of Nasir disappeared at the first opportunity, and so did the Taylor family. The other three knight families formally discussed tonight who should be elected to lead the people and preside over the overall order.

No one tried to steal or rob the Fisher family. On the one hand, their extremely high reputation was also due to their considerable force.

Dozens of people from the entire Fisher family are camping, and tired guards and servants are working. So far, Irene has handled all situations extremely well.

In the first few years, Lucius was still responsible for most things in the family. Now, she is able to take care of the Fisher family's internal affairs skillfully, and is even more patient than Lucius.

After Irene calmed the two frightened cooks, she came to Lucius and Byrne, and asked with uneasiness in her heart:

"Our team's goal is obvious. Will something happen?"

Lucius, fully armed, shook his head, raised his sword calmly and pointed to the north and said:

"The troops from northern Rhea went straight to Nasir after passing through the jungle. It is almost impossible for them to find our team in the vast wilderness."

Indeed, a few thousand people may seem a lot, but in the entire East Coast area, they are like a small group of ants. The chance of them meeting another small group of ants is extremely small.

Lucius continued:

"And if the Rhea troops wander aimlessly in the wild, the risk is too great. It is better to turn around and run after looting Nasir."

Byrne, who was listening nearby, suddenly looked up and said:

"There is another exception. I have heard of a very rare spell of the spellcasting inheritance "prophecy system" that can accurately locate the target's position."

Lucius remained silent. The prophecy system spell with extremely high strategic value does exist, but the probability of it being in that Rhea army is not high.

And the possibility that these Rhea people would bite them was almost non-existent.

Unless there was someone or something extremely important in the entire escape team.

Lucius smiled and said calmly: "This is a low-risk gamble, nothing will happen."

"Well, I understand."

Irene nodded gently, turned around and left to continue to comfort the members of the Fisher family.

Soon someone came to seek treatment for the disease. It turned out that the cold weather caused several old people to be almost dead.

Irene did not refuse and tried her best to treat the old people's bodies. The people of Nasir were grateful to her.

Until a group of white-haired people walked towards her.

Irene was slightly stunned, and the people of the Fisher family looked over. They were the silver people living in Nasir Town. Not long ago, they had just cheated the Fisher family of a sum of money.

Irene looked at them calmly, and saw a middle-aged man with long white hair coming out. Obviously, he was a person of relatively high status among the silver people, and his clothes were printed with symbols showing the identity of a spellcaster.

The middle-aged man of the Silver Clan remained silent for a long time, but still pleaded in a dignified manner:

"Ms. Irene, the elder of our clan suddenly fainted and has not woken up. It is speculated that it may be caused by the cold weather and fatigue. Please help the elder for the sake of being a believer of the Lord of Redemption."

After hearing this, Irene smiled brightly, as if she had thought of something happy.

She had treated too many people, and knew that cold weather, fatigue, and emotional excitement could easily cause malignant lesions in the heart and brain of the elderly.

"As a believer of the Lord of Redemption, I will of course treat the respected elder of the Silver Clan, and you can rest assured."

Irene was silent for a while when she said this, which made the middle-aged man a little anxious, and then she continued:

"It's just that the Fisher family is in a very difficult situation now, and I hope you can help them for the sake of the Lord of Redemption."

The middle-aged man nodded and asked without surprise: "Fisher family, how much money do you need?"

When Irene finished speaking, his face changed.

"We left Nasir in a hurry and urgently need thirty gold coins."

Although all the Silver Clan knew that Irene wanted to ask for a sky-high price, they had no way to refuse her. After all, just like only the elders of the Silver Clan knew how to "extract spells", the best person in the team of thousands of people was Irene of the Fisher Clan.

In the final analysis, it was the negative consequences caused by the short-sightedness of the elders of the Silver Clan at the time. It was not like the sea merchant John who would rather lose a little to make a good impression on the Fisher Clan.

The Silver Clan was very united and quickly collected thirty gold coins, begging Irene to save the elder's life.

When she treated the elder of the Silver Clan, she did not completely cure his illness, but retained a part of it. From then on, the Silver Clan had to beg Irene every day.

After returning to the Fisher Clan camp, the sky was gradually darkening, and the snow was getting denser and denser, like hanging feathers slowly falling.

Irene suddenly discovered that the mother of the leaders of the thieves' gang, the white-haired Granny Nada, was waiting for her silently with a black iron box.

Because of the basic principles of the Dawn Cult of "keeping secrets" and "caution", Granny Nada rarely came directly to the Fisher family.

Irene asked in confusion: "Granny Nada, why are you here?"

Granny Nada walked up quickly as soon as she saw Irene, and said excitedly:

"A few days ago, my children accidentally got something from a merchant, which might be a mysterious object."

She leaned over and lowered her voice and said: "You once said that the Lost Lord of Dawn needs them, and I haven't had time to give them to you in the past two days. I think now is the time to give it to you."

After Granny Nada finished speaking, she handed over the black iron box very respectfully.

Suddenly Irene felt the powerful will of the Lost Lord tremble slightly! It seemed that there was something extremely important hidden in the black iron box, and even the great gods had to pay attention to it!

She couldn't help but be shocked. What exactly was in the black iron box?

At this moment, the crowd around them began to wonder, followed by bursts of exclamations!

"Someone!"

"Look!"

"Ah!"

Irene and Granny Nada suddenly raised their heads and looked in the direction the crowd was looking.

Under the dim sky, I could see some dark figures gradually increasing in number and becoming clearer and closer in the distance on the other side of the river bank, like a terrifying black tide slowly approaching that was about to swallow everything.
