In fact, Zhao Hai had deliberately told defian about Duke Ryan. He wanted defian to know that he did not know anything. At the same time, defian would not be able to figure out Zhao Hai’s background. This was actually a simple trick.
There were times when one could not speak too much, but there were times when speaking too much could make others unable to figure out one’s background. Just like Zhao Hai, this time, when he mentioned Duke Ryan to defian, defian naturally could not figure out Zhao Hai’s background. This way, if Zhao Hai were to cooperate with them in the future, they would not be on equal footing and would not look down on him.
Back in the room, Lola frowned and said to Zhao Hai, ” “Big brother hai, the cavalrymen have left today, but I’m afraid they won’t let us go. We should make preparations as soon as possible.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” of course they won’t let us go. Even if the cavalrymen don’t dare to touch us, Duke Ryan won’t let us go. Don’t forget, defian just said that we have a cooperation. There were many people around at that time. They must have known that Duke Ryan won’t let me go. He can use me to establish his authority. However, as long as they don’t use their official power to deal with me, I’m not afraid. &Quot;
Laura’s brows were still furrowed. &Quot; do you think defian is deliberately luring us to say that? that way, we’ll be led to the Sheila family’s side. Even if Ryan doesn’t want to deal with us, he’ll have no choice but to do so. We’ll have to rely on the Sheila family with all our might. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” &Quot; actually, there’s nothing wrong with this. We don’t have any friendship with Duke Ryan at all. Besides, his methods are too overbearing. I don’t want to work with him. Although the Sheila family has the intention to scheme against us, their methods are relatively gentler. We won’t lose out by working with them. I also deliberately let the outside world know that I’m working with their family. That will make the Sheila family feel uneasy, and our relationship with them will be closer.”
When Laura heard Zhao Hai’s plan, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was still a little worried as she said, ” “We’ve just arrived at the Roson Empire, and it’s not good to offend Leon, right? What if the Sheila family loses in the battle with Ryan? what should we do then?”
Zhao Hai smiled, ” &Quot; yes, we have. Now we’re betting. If the Sheila family wins, we can further cooperate with them. If the Sheila family really loses, it doesn’t matter. Don’t forget, when we go to Tianshui city this time, we can also get in touch with the carci family. The carci family is in the same Alliance as us, and we’re cooperating with Ibel. It’s quite certain that they won’t leave us alone. With the carci family in the middle, they will deal with us. I don’t think Duke Ryan will go too far.”
Seeing that Zhao Hai was so clear-headed, Lola did not say anything more. She nodded and said, ” “What about Ryan? If Duke Ryan can’t deal with us, will he make things difficult for Ryan?”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” that’s possible. But no matter what, ruien is the princess of the Duchy of Versailles. Furthermore, she is going to a school this time. I heard that the schools in the Roson Empire have a high status in their country. Ruien should be fine, right? ”
Lola nodded and didn’t say anything else. She was just saying. In fact, she didn’t have a good impression of Ryan. However, for Ivan’s sake, they couldn’t really leave Ryan alone.
Although Zhao Hai said so, Laura was still worried, ” “What if those people make things difficult for Ryan in school? She’s still a girl, and she’s not familiar with this place. If something really happened to her, she wouldn’t be able to find anyone to discuss it with. If something really happened to her, we wouldn’t be able to explain it to Grand Duke Yi Wan.”
Zhao Hai sighed. &Quot; then there’s nothing we can do to help her. Grand Duke Ivan let her out this time because he wanted her to face the world on her own. He wanted her to know what the world is like. If we do everything for her, then we’ll be letting him down. &Quot;
Lola was taken aback. She had never thought of this, but she still nodded in agreement. Grand Duke Ivan had let Ryan out this time to give her some training. If they really helped Ryan solve everything, then Ryan would be no different from when he was in Casar city.
That night, Zhao Hai and the others passed by peacefully. The cavalrymen didn’t come looking for trouble with them. However, some of the merchants who were resting at the battle Fort had heard of Zhao Hai’s name. They had already known that Zhao Hai was a 7th-tier fire mage when they were at the lifeline Canyon. However, they didn’t expect that to not be Zhao Hai’s full strength.
The merchants were getting more and more curious about Zhao Hai. He was extremely powerful and had a beautiful working style. All of these made Zhao Hai look like a Firefly in the dark. However, he was eye-catching no matter where he went.
Many of the major factions began to pay attention to this person they had never heard of before. The major factions only knew Zhao Hai for one reason. They wanted to see if they could pull him into their faction. Even if they couldn’t, they wanted to get to know him well. That way, if they became enemies in the future, they would have a way to deal with him.
Zhao Hai did not know that the major powers outside had already begun to pay attention to him. He felt that there was nothing worth paying attention to. The next morning, Zhao Hai and the others had breakfast. Defian welcomed them and they left the hundred battle fortress, heading in the direction of Carson City.
Ryan was as low-key as before. Zhao Hai was no longer suspicious of what she was up to. In any case, as long as he could get him to Carson City in about a month, they would be done for.
The Rosen Empire was a vast territory with a large population. They did not have to worry about not having a place to rest on the way. Xu Wanying had stayed in the Rosen Empire before, so Zhao Hai let him lead the way. There was no need to rush, so they could take their time to understand the situation in the Empire.
However, Zhao Hai and the others were very careful when they left the hundred battle fortress. They had embarrassed the Knights in the hundred battle fortress, so the Knights would not let them go. Moreover, Grand Duke Ryan, who was behind the Knights, would not let them go.
Although Zhao Hai had never met the Grand Duke, he knew how overbearing he was. The more overbearing a person was, the more he could not tolerate others disobeying his will, let alone slapping them in the face like Zhao Hai and the others.
Moreover, Zhao Hai and defian had been so friendly to each other after the incident, as if they had known each other for a long time. This would make Duke Ryan become a friend of the Sheila family in the future. Zhao Hai was here to stand up for the Sheila family. Under such circumstances, Duke Ryan would be even more likely to deal with him.
After leaving the hundred battles fortress, Zhao Hai and the others felt that something was wrong. The road from the hundred battles fortress to Carson City should have been very busy, but they did not see a single person along the way. It was almost as desolate as the blackdirt wastelands.
Zhao Hai knew that those people were coming to fight them, but he didn’t expect them to look down on him. They didn’t let others walk on this road, which meant they wanted to deal with him. As long as one wasn’t an idiot, one look at the situation on the road and they would understand this. Since those people dared to do this, it was the same as making it clear to them.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai immediately sent Laura into the origin space. At the same time, he told blockhead and the others to be more careful and be ready to fight at any time. He also told Ryan and the others about this situation. Ryan and the others were extremely nervous. Their strength was far inferior to Zhao Hai’s.
It had been more than two hours since they left the hundred battle fortress, yet they had not been attacked. Not only had they not encountered any attacks, but they had not even encountered a single person. This gave Zhao Hai and the others a lot of pressure. They were extremely nervous, afraid that the enemy would suddenly attack them.
They were not far from Kelan shanlan. The terrain here was a hilly area. There were often some small mountains on both sides of the road. Although the mountains were not very high, the trees on the mountains were very lush. It was possible to ambush people at any time.
Among them, Ryan’s guards were the most nervous. Zhao Hai’s group was better off. Zhao Hai sat in the car and watched the surveillance camera projection. If there was an ambush nearby, it would not be able to escape his eyes.
It had been more than two hours, and there was still no sign of anyone on the surveillance cameras. This made Zhao Hai a little confused. He didn’t expect those people to have such patience. More than two hours had passed, and they still hadn’t made a move.
Just as Zhao Hai was feeling it, a Green Dot suddenly appeared on the monitor. The green dots were densely packed, and there were at least a few thousand people on the hills on both sides of the road.
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment before he zoomed in on the surveillance camera. He realized that the ones who were going up against him this time were all magical beast cavalry. They were wearing full-body armor, carrying tower shields on their backs, carrying large swords, and holding Knight’s Spears in their hands. They were using the gentle slopes on both sides of the hill as their base to reduce the distance of their charge. They were waiting for them to tire themselves out.
There were no trees on the hill where the Knights were. As they stood there, their armors reflected the light. Zhao Hai could easily see them. They did not seem to have any intention of hiding. They just wanted to kill Zhao Hai and his men openly.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai immediately gave the evil spirit staff to Eagle and let him fly into the sky with the staff. He wanted to investigate the surroundings and see if there were any other ambushes. If there were no other ambushes, he could make his move.
The Eagle circled the area and didn’t find any other ambushes except for the cavalrymen. It seemed like the cavalrymen were very confident that they had Zhao Hai in their grasp, so they didn’t set up any other ambushes. This was a huge help to Zhao Hai. He wanted to see if his bullfighting cavalrymen and the elite magical beast cavalrymen were stronger.
