When we returned to the camp, we saw that the ground was full of people.
A group of men lying on the ground, wailing and cursing, turned the entire camp into a vegetable market.
Several tied women were kneeling in the center of the camp, guarded by two guards with swords on the ground.
"What about the rest?"
Nok asked the guard guarding him.
"Going to search for the remaining accomplices."
One of the guards answered, but another one asked a little unkindly.
"Where did Mr. Ryan go before? You took over the mission. If you don't help, it's fine. You don't even know how to protect the wife? Or, in fact, you had anticipated this rebellion and went out in advance to avoid the limelight?"
"Jace! Shut up!"
The guard who had answered Nok's question before shouted to stop Jace when he spoke.
But he didn't expect that Jace still insisted on finishing his sentence.
Nok walked up to Jace with a smile, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"You have a rich imagination, don't think about it next time. Be careful of getting beaten."
After Nok mocked Jace, he turned around and walked towards Freya's tent without caring about Jace's mood.
Jace didn't expect that Nok would openly mock him. He was so angry that he slashed Nok with his sword without even thinking.
"I kill you!"
"boom!"
Before he could touch Nok, he felt his eyes blurred and a fist fell on his face.
The huge force caused him to fly up in pain. The sword in his hand fell off and flew backwards, hitting the male adventurer who could not move, causing a scream.
Nok continued walking without looking back, turning a deaf ear to the movement behind him.
Leo blew his fist, retracted it, left a disdainful smile on the guard who was looking at him with a malicious look, and stood in front of the members of "Lark" without saying anything.
Nok lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in. He saw Freya lying lazily on the Persian carpet, so comfortable.
Charlotte stood beside her, pouring wine for her.
"You're back."
"Well, I'm back."
"How's it going outside?"
"It seems that everything has been resolved. Your guards are good at dealing with women."
"Oh, you can't blame them. You don't know how scary those cheap maids are. I was almost scared to death. I don't dare to go out now!"
Looking at the turbulent waves being beaten, Nok fell silent.
If he hadn't seen the contrived joking look on her face and just listened to the voice, Nok would have believed it.
Nok hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you plan to do with them?"
Hearing this, Freya stopped shaking the wine glass, looked at Nok meaningfully, and asked with a smile: "What, which little prodigal do you like? Do you want to plead for her?"
Nok touched his nose in embarrassment and denied: "Where are you thinking? It's just that I am a compassionate person, and I can't bear to see women suffer. Besides, they were forced to do this."
"Haha, since they started this way, they shouldn't want to end it early. They chose the road, no one forced them. If they resisted on the first day, I might even look at them favorably and help them. .
but!
They themselves have chosen another way to solve the problem, so they should not go back on their word. Now it almost ruined my mission!
Ryan, it’s not that I don’t give you face! Look at the men lying all over the floor! And those dead bodies will delay our trip for at least three days!
More importantly, if I don't give an explanation to others, this team will break up! "
Freya's words spoke to Nok's mind.
If he didn't think Sister Sophia was still useful, he really wouldn't want to help.
Although the few women outside who have broken through the bottom line are very suitable to be used as chess pieces, there are too many such chess pieces, and you can find them wherever you look.
It was a bit inappropriate to ruin the honeymoon relationship between himself and Freya for such a few women of little value.
So, Nok thought for a moment and asked, "What if I can help you complete your mission on time?"
A trace of sullenness flashed across Freya's face after hearing this, and she sneered a little impatiently: "If you can let us enter Dokoso Mountain City on time, I can let you handle today's affairs. Even, I can do it in Dokoso Mountain City Replace this group of adventurers and let them end their mission early."
Freya's words let Nok know that she was dissatisfied with his involvement in the matter and set a difficult problem for him.
They are now in the lower reaches of the Ghana River, and the mountain town of Dokoso is in the mountains of the upper reaches of the Ghana River.
There is also a canyon fortress to pass halfway.
Calculating this, it would take at least two weeks to reach Dokoso Mountain City.
Obviously, Freya wanted to see how Nok could calm down the team while rescuing the group of women outside.
Nok thought about it quietly and decided to give it a try.
"Yes, but you must give me the decision-making authority for the entire team until we arrive at Dokoso Mountain City. During this period, you must not interfere with my decisions."
Freya's eyes widened, she didn't expect that Nok would still want to seize power!
She kept staring at Nok's eyes by the candlelight in the tent, trying to figure out his intentions.
However, Nok looked at her calmly, without any flickering.
"Okay! But you must agree to a condition in exchange."
"Okay. Under what conditions, you tell me."
"I haven't thought about it now. I'll tell you when I think about it."
"this……"
"What's wrong, aren't you sympathetic to her? Are you unwilling to pay a price and want to save the prodigal outside?"
Being squeezed by Freya, Nok could only nod and agree: "Okay. I owe you a promise."
After hearing Nok's promise, Freya smiled again.
"Then, I will just watch your performance quietly."
As he spoke, he held up the wine glass, took a sip to his lips, straightened his jade neck, and swallowed it with a "gulu" sound.
Nok knew that she was angry.
"Okay, big baby. I'll come back and make it up to you shortly after I've taken care of things, okay?"
Now is not the time to quarrel, so Nok can only coax Freya with a smile.
"Go, go, I don't want you. Get out of here, Charlotte and I will play by ourselves tonight."
Well, Nok was embarrassed.
He scratched his head and glanced at Charlotte, who kept smiling and said nothing, and ran out dejectedly.
"Have you really decided to give him the power? What if he takes the opportunity..."
"What are you taking advantage of? To kill you and me? Or to occupy you and me? Can you stop thinking so much. Now that a man is in your hands, you must appropriately delegate power and make him feel that he is respected and needed. He Only then can I be completely devoted to you.”
"But he had an ulterior motive for following us. According to the tip, he sneaked out of Maple Town and left Molière aside. He had obviously agreed to cooperate with Molière, but going back on his promise like this, I'm afraid..."
"Enough! Charlotte! Who do you think you are! You are just a pawn like me! At most, it is more useful. What should I do? The adults above will consider it and need you to worry about it?
Remember, chess pieces, you don’t need to have your own ideas, you just need to do things according to the orders of the adults above! We are ordered to win over Nok Lane, so we will do our best to keep him in our hands. Don't worry about anything else! "
Charlotte, who was scolded by Freya, fell silent.
She was dissatisfied, but she didn't understand why she was afraid of Nok Lane.
It was obvious that she herself had wanted to invest in this man secretly.
Why are you afraid of him now?
Nok had no idea what happened in the tent.
After he came out of the tent, he saw that the guards had returned.
Without Sister Sophia, it was clear that Jon and his men had failed in their search.
"Hey, they're all back. That's just in time. I have some big news to announce."
Nok walked onto the field laughing.
Jon and others already knew about the conflict between their team members and Ryan, and they were unhappy at this time.
After hearing what Nok said, someone immediately said angrily: "If you have something to say, say it, and if you have something to say, let it go. You really think you are some big shot."
The laughter of "chichi" sounded in the night, not loud, but very harsh.
It was very dark, and there was only a temporary bonfire lit in the field. With six people standing together, Nok could not tell who said this for a while.
But it doesn't matter, Nok doesn't care much.
What he cares about is that after hearing the news he announced, he wonders if these people will still be so happy.
"The news is that from now on, the entire team must obey my command, and at the same time, I will be responsible for handling tonight's affairs. No one is allowed to disobey my orders, otherwise, don't let me punish you."
"Fart! Who do you think you are? You want to command us!"
"Yes! We are the Marquis's private army!"
As soon as Nok finished speaking, several guards protested, expressing their dissatisfaction.
Nok looked at the shouting people and smiled happily.
He just shouted lightly: "Leo!"
boom!
Leo rushed out like a tank and rushed directly into the crowd.
"Damn it! How dare you do it!"
"Come together and kill him!"
"beat him!"
The guards were very excited and angry, and wanted to beat Leo up.
However, the idea is skinny and the reality is cruel.
Without using weapons, under Leo's violent fists, three or four of them were knocked down within two rounds.
The remaining two people were Jon and the guard who had not offended Nok before.
The two of them had already drawn their swords in their hands, staying far away from Leo, looking at Leo with wary expressions.
"Sir Ryan, what do you mean by this? Do you want to murder our wife like these women?"
Jon knew how to plan, and he slapped Nok with a big hat as soon as he came up.
"Knight Jon, please don't blame me randomly. If you doubt my command authority, you can go to Madam now and ask for clarification.
However, I have written down several of their offenses against their superiors.
The current situation is special, and I am just punishing you with a small amount of punishment. If you dare to do it again in the future, I will settle the old and new accounts together!
Now, if you are not convinced, get up and continue the fight. However, don't use weapons. If anyone uses weapons, I will treat him as a rebel and execute him directly! "
Nok's words instantly silenced the entire audience.
The adventurers who were lying on the ground watching the show didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
