Swordsman Returns from Another World

But just as he finished speaking, another mercenary's voice came from the other side, near the tent on the abandoned road.

"Anastasia! There's a light on the road! It looks like a convoy!"

Anastasia hurriedly called out to everyone, shouting, "Put out all the bonfires! Quick! Children, hide in the culvert! Adults, come with me and cover yourselves with the tarpaulin! Hurry!"

The whole team moved quickly. They had encountered too many bandits and robbers along the way and had to be extremely cautious.

After settling the children, Anastasia and another mercenary wrapped in tarpaulins approached their companions. The companion who had been observing the situation whispered, "They kept their headlights on and drove. I couldn't see the details of the vehicles, but there were a lot of them and they were very ostentatious. They were either a caravan with a lot of confidence or bandits who came out in the middle of the night to look for food."

"What do you think, Anastasia?"

Anastasia thought for a moment and said, "If we don't take action here, we may not be able to get out of this desert without supplies."

"You mean, take action? Just a few of us? With refugees, women and children?"

Anastasia nodded deeply: "Yes!"

Chapter 254: Message in the Wilderness

The messenger almost laughed out loud when he saw the three mercenaries rushing up.

But out of politeness, he held back his smile, and after asking for permission from SilverAsh, he got out of the car and stopped the three men.

As a messenger who is alone all year round, the combat capability of the Courier is stronger than many people imagine. No one who can walk alone in the chaotic land of Terra is easy to mess with.

After just one encounter, Anastasia and the other two who rushed over were pinned to the ground.

The messenger saw a corner of silver protruding from Anastasia's backpack. He squinted his eyes and realized that this was not simple. He turned around and said, "Boss, he is the person we are looking for!"

Who are you looking for?

Hearing this, Anastasia, who had originally thought she had met a good person because the messenger showed mercy, became anxious. Most of these people were here for the blue potion!

She roared, and the staff at her waist shone with dazzling Originium light. She climbed up from the ground, holding the staff in one hand and the dagger in the other, and slashed at the messenger.

The messenger had no time to avoid it and could only hastily raise his weapon to block it, but he was too late to stop the source stone missile shot out from the staff.

"Chirp—!"

A shrill bird cry was heard, and a snow-covered hunting bird named Tenzin swooped down from the sky, smashed the Originium missile with its hard beak, and then flew towards the direction of the vehicle.

Silver Gray got out of the car and raised his hand, saying, "Stop! Mercenaries, we are not the enemy!"

Anastasia's attack was blocked by the messenger, who had no choice but to smile helplessly and said, "If I can, I really don't want to attack my companions."

"But please calm down first."

He swung his weapon to block Anastasia's weapon, then turned his hand to entangle her weapon and raised his foot to kick her hard.

"cough!"

Anastasia was kicked away, coughed, and lay on the ground curled up.

Her two companions wanted to rush forward to attack, but the Messenger suddenly thrust her weapon into the dry sand, raised her hands slightly, with a helpless look on her face.

"Ah~ Surrender, surrender~ Please stop!"

The two mercenaries ignored him. One of them rushed forward and put his arm around his neck. Then he clamped his knife on his neck with his backhand and looked at Yinhui threateningly: "Back off! Tell all your men to back off, or I'll kill this guy!"

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive~ Oh, I told you not to do it, this is a misunderstanding~" The messenger had an awkward smile on his face, and just raised his hands, looking well-behaved.

Silver-grey's face was stern and calm. He said, "Three mercenaries, may I ask you, are you the team that was originally going to Ursus to escort the Rhodes Island Blueprint Potion?"

Although these guys were carrying potions, SilverAsh did not directly believe them. What if these guys were the ones who killed that team and robbed the potions?

As for caring about the safety of the messenger... Although Silver Gray did care, the three guys in front of him were almost exhausted, and even if they put a knife to the messenger's neck, they could not pose a threat to him.

Hearing Silver Gray's question, Anastasia struggled to raise her head, stared at him unkindly, and said, "Before that, tell me who you are!"

Silver Gray said in a clear voice: "We are...Kalan Trading Company. If you are really the one we are looking for, then you should know us."

After all, Kalan Trading Company was one of the first few companies to participate in the refugee resettlement work in Longmen.

Anastasia was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at the convoy behind Silver Gray, then looked at the various logos printed on the vehicles, and then suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

Then his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground, fainting.

Silver Gray was stunned.

………………

Anastasia slept for two hours before waking up.

When I woke up, the caravan had already set up a camp in the wilderness. The cars formed a wall around the campsite, with support poles erected on the roofs and a windbreak shed built using the poles as fulcrums.

It's like a giant shed with vehicles as walls and a windshield as the ceiling.

A tent was set up in the middle of this area, and the refugees were treating their wounds, eating and resting with the help of the team led by Yin Hui.

When Anastasia woke up, she was in the back seat of a car, with a furry pack-animal hide under her head, which was very comfortable.

She stood up in confusion and picked up the piece of animal skin and stroked it again. The quality of this piece of animal skin was extremely high. It would probably be sold for nearly ten thousand Longmen coins if it was put on the market outside.

As expected, it is the only foreign trade company in Snow Mountain. For them, this high-quality luxury product produced in Snow Mountain is probably just a local specialty from their hometown, right?

They are the genuine Kalan Trading Company.

Anastasia breathed a sigh of relief.

She lowered her head and found that her backpack was placed aside, and the silver suitcase inside had not been taken away. Even after she fainted, those people did not take away such a valuable item.

She picked up her backpack, opened the car door, got out, and looked at the camp in front of her.

The camp is divided into many tents, and in the middle of these tents is a fire. Fresh food such as frozen meat brought from the snow-capped mountains is roasted on the fire. This is a luxurious enjoyment in the wilderness.

The tents near the fire belonged to people who had not fallen asleep yet. They were drinking wine and eating barbecue. Anastasia's two companions were chatting with the messenger, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

The tents far away from the fire belong to the people who are fast asleep. They are resting quietly and there is silence in the tents.

Anastasia could hear the sound of footsteps on the roof. She looked toward the roof through the gap between the tarpaulin and the vehicle, and discovered that there were people sitting on the roofs on duty in all directions of the camp. They were wrapped in tarpaulins, and their crossbows were never relaxed.

This team is so professional.

She seemed to suddenly remember something, looked around, found a high-roof tent that was very different, and walked towards it.

When she entered the tent, Silver Gray was the only one in the tent. He was looking at the map in front of him, thinking, with a frown on his face.

The furry ears on his head twitched as he heard Anastasia's footsteps, so he raised his head and looked at her: "It seems you had a good rest, Ms. Anastasia."

"you……"

"Just call me Silver Grey."

"Silver, Mr. SilverAsh, Rhodes Island is in danger!"

"We, our team was attacked by the Ursus Internal Guards. One of them was driving a black military truck towards Longmen!"

"Their target is most likely Dr. Baiyue!"

Chapter 255: The inner guards can only fart

Silver Gray seemed to have known about this for a long time. He lowered his head and looked at the map, saying, "Your companions have already told me about a truck carrying Ursus's internal guards... Before coming here, even I thought it was just a legend of Ursus."

"He can destroy vehicles with just the force of his arms throwing... a very powerful ability."

"I have sent this information to Rhodes Island through our messaging device. You are safe, Ms. Anastasia."

Anastasia felt relieved after hearing this, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Um, about what happened before... I'm sorry, I thought you..."

"Don't take it to heart. There is nothing wrong with your behavior. No matter who you meet in a wilderness like this, you need to remain vigilant."

Silver Gray frowned, a rare look of worry appearing on his face.

"But we met you too late."

Anastasia was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"

"If Ursus has even sent out the internal guards, then they must be desperate and ready to make enemies with Yan Country."

"Or maybe they have already discussed something with Yan Country."

"From the time you encountered the inner guards, if they traveled day and night, they should be almost here by now."

Silver clenched his fists.

He knew very well that Rhodes Island would probably face a fierce battle, and it was very likely to become a chessboard in the game between major powers.

ally……

………………

Longmen, on the top floor of the Longmen Guard Bureau building, Wei Yanwu’s reception room.

"Jingzhe, we can't interfere in this matter."

Taihe suddenly stretched out his hand, pressed it on Jingzhe's shoulder, and forced her to sit obediently on the sofa.

The tall Inspector General looked at Rhodes Island outside the French window and said in a deep voice, "This is a decision made by the higher-ups. This is a... scheme between Yan Country and Ursus. As the Inspector General, we cannot interfere."

"But I am also an operator of Rhodes Island!" Jingzhe suddenly broke free from Taihe's hand, stood up, took the red robe directly and threw it on the sofa.

She looked furious, her body crackling, and electricity seemed to be running through her golden hair.

"I don't care about the situation. I just know that Rhodes Island is going to take the place of Lungmen to prevent disaster."

"Oh!"

Behind Jingzhe, Wei Yanwu, who was sitting on a swivel chair, slammed the table, stood up, and looked at the tall Inspector General angrily: "Is my brother really so cruel that he can bear to watch Rhodes Island fight alone against the Internal Guards?!"

“This isn’t disaster prevention!”

"This is the death of Rhodes Island!"

Wei Yanwu was so furious that he didn't care about calling him "Your Majesty" or "Real Dragon". He wanted to just call the Emperor of Dayan by his name.

The tall Inspector was silent for a moment, then said, "The stakes of this game are Ursus's border control rights."

"If Rhodes Island can survive this, Ursus should open the border, promote communication, put an end to the chaos, and govern the affairs of the nobles both inside and outside the country."

"Only in this way can medical teams from various countries enter Ursus and save those infected."

Wei Yanwu was so angry that his teeth bared. He said angrily: "What a damn good plan! If Rhodes Island is destroyed, Ursus can regain its advantage. If it is not killed, with the intervention of outside forces, the old nobles can be purged and the royal family can be cleared in one fell swoop... Damn it!"

He suddenly picked up the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground, breaking it into pieces.

The furious True Dragon brother roared, his manic power running wild in the space, his coat rustling in the wind.

He turned his head and looked at the dark and cloudy night sky and the quiet Rhodes Island, his heart full of thoughts.

He was tricked by Ursus and Dayan. Dayan did not allow Longmen to interfere in the matter, which was also a warning.

Wei Yanwu's previous blatant support for Rhodes Island had caused criticism in the court, so in order to shut those people up, his brother resorted to this desperate measure.

It’s really... a very bad idea!

"Shadow Guard!" Wei Yanwu spoke.

A man in a black straw raincoat walked out of the darkness of the room. He said nothing and waited quietly for Wei Yanwu's order.

The tall supervisor immediately stepped forward and said, "Duke Wei, think twice!"

"If the Shadow Guards are deployed, it will mean a clash between the forces of Yan and Wu, and the situation will be ruined!"

Wei Yanwu stared at the dark clouds outside the window and clenched his fists tightly.

His chest rose and fell, and his breathing was heavy.

Just then, the phone rang.

Wei Yanwu waved his hand, and the phone on the table was automatically connected. Bai You's cynical voice came out: "Old Wei, you haven't slept yet, right?"

Wei Yanwu paused, then sighed: "You ask even though you know the answer."

"That's fine. You can approve Luoti State's application for separation and accept the children. Hurry up. Damn, why are there so many children on my island?"

Wei Yanwu's heart tightened, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean?"

"Don't pull my clothes... Hey, hey, hey, you brats, don't touch the things in my room, hurry up and get out with the team! Hurry up!" Baiyou's voice seemed very chaotic. After a while, he continued: "What do you mean? I have to transfer the old, weak and sick people on the island first, right? You should ask the Guards to work overtime and send more people!"

Wei Yanwu was silent for a moment, then said, "Got it. I'll send someone, the Shadow Guard, to notify the Guard Bureau. Also, ask Bai Xue and the others to come and help."

"Bai You, don't hang up, I have something to tell you."

This time he didn't call him Brother Bai.
