Chapter 123 Goodbye Fatty

In the flickering light of the bonfire, a fat body is particularly eye-catching. 【】This guy is none other than the fat businessman Marcus from Oak Town!

Roger never saw the guy again after the conflict with Marcus before the Linton Pass.I thought that the fat businessman had already died under the hands of the undead cavalry, but I didn't expect this guy's life to be so serious that he escaped to the hinterland of the kingdom.

Seeing the familiar fat face of Marcus, Roger couldn't help sighing secretly that he and this fat man were really destined.Counting this time, the two have met for the third time, but the first two meetings were very unpleasant, and Roger believes that this time will be no exception.

Although the bonfires in the Markarth camp were burning brightly, there were few people in the middle of the camp.Everyone, including Fatty, stayed away from the bonfire, as if they disliked the warm flames.Roger just glanced at the camp and found that Marcus's men were much more numerous than when he was on the Lund Peninsula.It turns out that this guy did well after escaping into Linton Pass, and recruited a lot of lackeys to serve him.

When Roger and the others approached the camp, Markas' men immediately became alert, and they all drew their weapons and glared at them.At the same time, Marcus knew that Roger was coming, and the ferocious and gloomy look on the businessman's fat face flashed, and he immediately put on a smiling face to greet him.

"It turned out to be Mr. Li. I really didn't expect to meet you here." Marcus walked up to Roger quickly and said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for a long time since we parted at Linton Pass, and it's so wonderful to be an old friend again." alright!"

Although the fat man had a smile on his face, there was a hint of ruthlessness in his tone.The previous collisions between the two left painful memories for Marcas, and he had long hated Roger to the bone.After this chance encounter, the fat man found that there were many fewer people around Roger, and he couldn't help thinking of wanting to avenge his shame.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm really happy that you are still so energetic!" Roger also looked very happy, but there was a faint hint of ambiguity in his words.

"Is Mr. Li going to camp too?" Marcus pretended not to hear the abnormality in Roger's tone, and invited graciously: "Our camp has already been built, so don't bother, I'll let my men spare half of it." camp for you to rest!"

"This fat man should hate me to death, how could he be so kind to give me half of the camp?" Markas's attitude made Roger suspicious: "It's okay to be courteous, rape or steal, I won't be fooled !"

Having made up his mind, Roger also chuckled and said, "Don't bother you, let's go ahead and find another place, goodbye!"

As soon as Roger finished speaking, he didn't give Marcus a chance to keep him, and immediately led the others out of Fatty's camp.

Marcus stared at the back of Roger leaving, and the last trace of a smile disappeared from his face, replaced by a chilling and cold expression.

One of Fatty's subordinates walked gently behind him and asked cautiously, "Boss, since you hate these people so much, why don't you let us kill them all?"

"These people are hard to deal with. It's best not to confront them head-on. It's not too late to do it in the middle of the night!" Marcus replied coldly, his small eyes gleaming with a frightening light.

After walking a certain distance, Roger couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.For some unknown reason, after approaching Markas' camp just now, Roger instinctively felt very uncomfortable, as if a poisonous snake was secretly staring at him.At this moment, Roger finally felt better, and he was even more sure that there was something wrong with Marcus.

But this was just a feeling, if Roger really wanted to tell what was wrong with Fatty, he really couldn't tell.Just when Roger was still struggling with this weird feeling, Chris caught up and asked puzzledly: "My lord, since you know that fat man, why don't you camp with them? That would save us a lot." Trouble!"

"You're a rough guy." Before Roger could speak, Phil said, "Didn't you find that those guys are not right? Your Excellency's decision not to camp with them is very correct."

Knowing that Phil felt the same as himself, Roger was even more sure that there was something wrong with the fat man.He gave a general account of what Marcus had done before, and immediately made Chris very angry.

"This fat man is really not a thing!" The knight clapped his hands heavily and said: "We will go back and teach him a lesson now, and if he dares to resist, we will simply do him."

"Chris...we are now in the hinterland of the kingdom, only a day and a half away from the capital, Mandos, and we must not mess around." Phil immediately stopped his old friend and said, "That fat man claimed to be the Marquis of Vater. , if we do something to him here, it will be very detrimental to the adults if the news spreads."

Phil's words reminded Chris, but he didn't want to let the despicable guy Markas go, so he couldn't help but indignantly said: "Should we just let him go like this?"

"Of course we can't let this fat man go." Roger sneered, "I just did that just to lower his vigilance. In the middle of the night, we will quietly touch him and teach him a lesson!"

"My lord, spreading this matter will be bad for you." Phil was very worried about Roger.

Roger said with a matter of course: "Let's go cover our faces, of course we can't leave anything behind."

"What if it is exposed?" Chris was rarely thoughtful.

"If you are exposed, kill them all!" Having said this, Roger gritted his teeth: "At that time, they will say that they attacked me first. I want others to believe that I am a hero of the kingdom or a wretched fat businessman!"

Roger's words made everyone silent, and it took a long time for Chris to mutter to himself: "No wonder my lord is so happy when he knows that he has become a hero of the kingdom. It turns out that he has long thought of the benefits of doing things with this title!"

After talking with everyone, Roger and others found a suitable camping place, and quickly built a simple camp.While the others were preparing the food, Roger released two Hippogryphs and asked them to monitor what was happening on Markus' side.Roger was a little worried that the fat businessman would find an opportunity to sneak away knowing that he was nearby. If this was the case, it would not be so easy to find him in the future.

Since they were planning to sneak attack on Marcus, of course they had to wait until midnight before taking action.Anyway, there is such a good scout as the Hippogryph, so there is no need to worry about the safety of the camp. Roger plans to have a good sleep first, and recharge his energy before doing anything.

But Marcus obviously didn't intend to give Roger this chance. He received an alarm from the Hippogryph in his sleep, and suddenly woke up with a jerk.
