Broad World

Looking at the messy caravan, Henry sighed psychologically. Although he had already thought that these guys would not have any discipline, it was really beyond expectations that they were in such a mess. It seemed that he had to find a way to gain some control, otherwise, if something happened, these people would flee in all directions.

Just as he was thinking about how to seize power, Marlene walked up to the half-orc warrior shaking her plump breasts. She poked a muscle in Vaughan's arm with her finger and asked, "This strong warrior, can you tell me your name?"

Vaughan scratched his head in embarrassment, apparently never having encountered such a situation. He turned his head and looked to the companions around him for help, hoping that someone could come to rescue him. Henry carefully observed Marlene's expression and movements and thought, this woman looks weak, but her taste is really strong enough. You must know that all orcs have an indescribable smell, and some of their parts are much larger than humans. Although the current Vaughan looks tall and mighty, it is still quite ugly in terms of human aesthetics.

"This half-orc warrior is called Vaughan, and he is my guard. He has never seen such a beautiful lady like you before, so it's normal to be a little overwhelmed." After speaking, Henry turned his head and gave Vaughn a wink.

Although Vaughn didn't know what new plans he had after seeing it, he still bowed to the woman very cooperatively. "Hello, Ms. Marlene, I'm sorry I was distracted just now. I don't like dealing with strangers very much. You know that most people are not friendly to us half-humans."

Marlene nodded with a smile on her face. "It's okay, we can get to know each other along the way, and then we'll be strangers again." After speaking, he put his handkerchief in Vaughn's hand, turned around and boarded a carriage. The mercenaries passing by behind whistled one after another, and then looked at the half-orc warrior with envy.

Vaughan, who was a little slow to react, turned his head and asked the companion behind him: "Why did they whistle at me, didn't they just give me a handkerchief?" Amy blushed and burst out laughing. She walked over and whispered a few words in the orc's ear.

"You mean this woman invited me to spend the night in her carriage tonight!" Vaughn had an incredible expression on his face.

Amy quickly covered Vaughan's mouth. "Keep your voice down. Although everyone in the team already knows about it, it's better not to say something."

Bamberke took the opportunity to escape from Amy's grasp and landed on Ares' back. "Hahahaha, I saw something wrong with that woman's eyes early in the morning. Man, you are blessed tonight, do you need me to stand on the carriage and sing a song for you to add to the fun. When we were in the tavern in the dock area, the sailors really liked this tune."

Henry really couldn't stand this guy talking nonsense, so he saw the opportunity and knocked him out with a zero-level magic "stun technique". Amy rushed over and tied his mouth with a rope. The parrot struggled for a long time and could only make a whining sound, but it couldn't make trouble for the time being.

"Vaughn, now we need to gain a certain amount of control over this caravan, otherwise if something happens, it will easily lead to chaos. You have to sacrifice tonight, anyway, the businesswoman named Marlene is pretty pretty." Henry patted the half-orc warrior on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"Listen to you. Anyway, I have nothing to lose." After speaking, Vaughan shrugged indifferently. Henry glanced at the carriage in the distance with a smile on his face, as long as the half-orc warrior met the woman's needs tonight. At that time, he can intervene in some affairs of the caravan through Vaughan. Soon everyone set off to catch up with the convoy in front. Marlene also waved to Vaughn through the car window.

More than 150 people protected the goods on the vehicle and marched northeast along the dirt road. The undisciplined mercenaries talked and laughed along the way, and occasionally some people shot and killed a few small animals with bows and arrows, preparing for extra meals at night. The speed of the whole team was not too fast, and it could be seen that most of them had some adventure experience. At least not a bunch of rookies.

Henry carefully observed the surrounding environment as he walked. Ever since he left Yatta's patrol range, he had always had an ominous premonition. He felt that the robber's attack was a bit weird. The giant tribes in the Eternal Wilderness were all when the first snow fell and food began to be scarce. Only then will manpower be sent out to plunder the passing caravans.

According to the location of the incident described by the patrol captain, there must have been fierce fighting at that time. What puzzled him the most was where did the corpses go after the battle? Could there be liches or other powerful undead creatures active nearby?

Just as Henry was thinking about various possibilities, a mercenary who seemed to be of high status came over. With a wretched smile on his face, he winked at the orc warrior. "Hey! Dude, you are such a lucky guy. You have to know how many people lined up waiting for Madam Marlene's call, but you didn't expect to be preempted by you. When you arrive at Aylward, you must treat us, otherwise we will not let you go."

The half-orc glanced at the familiar guy with contempt, then walked away and left him behind. The mercenary scratched his head in embarrassment and asked Henry: "Is this companion of yours usually like this? I was just joking, so I won't even say a word."

"Don't mind, he doesn't like dealing with strangers very much. My name is Henry, I don't know how you call it?" Henry walked over to shake hands with the mercenary.

"It's nice to meet you. My friends call me "Quick Mouth" Balk. But to be honest, that half-orc friend just now is really cool, and he will transform into a high society soon."

Henry put on a curious expression and asked, "Why do you say that, does this Ms. Marlene think she is a nobleman?"

Balk looked enviously at the back of the half-orc warrior. "This lady's late husband was once a member of the Council of Elders in Aylward City. All his property and connections have been inherited, and they are now in the hands of this Ms. Marlene. It can be said that as long as she can please her, he is likely to become an important figure."

After Henry learned of the woman's identity, he immediately began to doubt her purpose. "Since she is not short of money, why is she looking to lead the caravan in person and take this road in such a dangerous period?"

"Quick mouth" Balk showed a playful smile on his face. "Who knows, maybe she's taken a fancy to your friend, and she's a little hungry. After all, her husband has been dead for so many years, and it's nothing to have some physical needs."

Henry shook his head. He didn't think a woman in this position would take risks for a half-orc. There must be something wrong here, but he hasn't thought of it yet. "Thank you very much for your news. Please come to me if you find anything unusual." After speaking, he took out a few gold coins and put them in Balk's hand.

The latter secretly glanced at the person walking in front, and carefully put the money into his pocket. "No problem, I am very familiar with the people here, and I can get news as soon as there is any trouble." Said that he ran towards the front of the team, and soon became one with the mercenaries and the guys.

After Balk left, Amy came up and asked, "Master, do you need me to use spells to monitor the carriage in front of me? The behavior of Mrs. Marlene is indeed a bit strange."

Henry shook his head and stopped Amy who was about to cast a spell. "Don't act rashly, just observe first. Anyway, Vaughn is going to walk into her carriage tonight, and I will cast a mage's eye to go in with her."

After walking for a while, the sky began to gradually darken, and Marlene ordered the steward through the car window to stop the caravan and set up camp. The driver parked the carriage outside the camp, forming a simple protective circle. The mercenaries cleaned up the ground and started cooking. Soon a large number of pots were set up, and all kinds of pickled meat, mushrooms and dried vegetables were thrown in and stewed indiscriminately. People sat around the campfire in groups of three or five, and they were waiting for dinner while they were making silly jokes.

The temperature dropped rapidly at night. Henry said to the half-orc warrior while eating dinner: "When you get into the carriage in a while, I will put a mage's eye on you. There is something wrong with this woman's behavior, so you'd better be careful. Remember not to eat anything she gives you, especially alcoholic drinks."

Vaughn asked a little puzzled: "Since we know that she has a problem, I can just arrest her and torture her. Why do I have to test it?"

Henry sighed and thought to himself, the thinking of these soldiers is really simple and rude. If this is really done, even if a problem is discovered, the entire upper echelon of the Silver Moon Alliance will be offended by then. He didn't want to do such a thankless thing.

"You think the problem is too simple. We can't kidnap a lady for no reason, especially because she has a lot of power behind her. And look at the people in this camp, do you want to kill them all?"

The half-orc warrior scratched his head, and he also felt that his thoughts were a little too naive. "Okay, just go tonight. But you have to declare in advance, if you find out that she is some kind of monster, don't blame me if you start fighting."

"It doesn't matter, I will use the eyes of the mage to record all the situations. When the time comes, there will be real evidence, and these people in the camp will testify for us, even the council of elders in Aylward City will not be able to accuse us." After speaking, Henry put the mind barrier amulet around his neck into Vaughn's hand. "Remember to take this amulet with you before going in. It will protect you from mind control spells."

"With this, I feel much more at ease." Said the half-orc warrior hung the amulet around his neck, and soon an invisible position protected him. . )
