Chapter 1,370 The Armed Merchant Corps of the Britannia Empire

But the manager did not take the money immediately.

He did not immediately prepare food and water for Roger and Barrist.

Instead, he looked at Roger and Barrist first.

Then he looked at somewhere behind them.

It was not until now that Roger noticed the manager's strangeness, and noticed that the manager had been hesitant and seemed to want to say something to them.

"Manager." Roger asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Hearing Roger's question, the hesitation on the manager's face finally disappeared.

He lowered his voice and whispered to Roger and Barrist:

"You are wearing armor and carrying a sword - you are a soldier, right?"

Although the manager's words were in the form of a question, the tone was affirmative.

Before Roger could respond, the store manager continued:

"I will prepare food and water for you quickly."

"Take the food and water and leave quickly."

After that, the store manager turned around, took the cowhide water bag that Roger had placed on the bar, and began to prepare food and water for Roger and Barrister.

Before turning around, the store manager did not forget to look at the backs of Roger and Barrister with a strange look.

-Is there something behind me?

With such a question, Roger looked back.

On the table not far behind them, a large group of people wearing the unique costumes of the Britannia Empire sat around...

Roger's face changed immediately.

After Roger turned around and looked behind him, Barrister also turned around.

Seeing this large group of guys wearing the unique costumes of the Britannia Empire, Barrister took a breath of cold air.

If this group of people were just ordinary unarmed civilians, it wouldn't have caused Roger's face to change and Barrister to gasp.

The reason why the two were so surprised and frightened was purely because - judging from their appearance, this group of people was a merchant group.

And it was an... armed merchant group!

This armed merchant group had about 30 people.

Everyone was carrying weapons.

Even those who looked like non-combatants had long swords on their waists.

When Roger and Barrister looked back at this armed merchant group of the Britannia Empire, the people in this armed merchant group were also looking at Roger and Barrister.

No... it should be said that - when Roger and Barrister rushed into this tavern, the people in this armed merchant group kept looking at them.

Their eyes were mainly focused on Roger, who was wearing armor and had a sword on his waist.

Just when cold sweat began to pour out of Roger's forehead, the store manager finally came back.

"Here are your food and water..."

The store manager carefully placed the cowhide water bag filled with pure water and two large bags of dry food on the bar.

"Manager, thank you very much..."

Roche pushed the money that had just been placed on the bar forward, then took the food and water and gave Barrist a look.

Although he had only known Roche for a few days and his relationship with him was still very bad, at this moment, Barrist miraculously understood the meaning of Roche's eyes.

After Roche cast this look, Barrist immediately frowned and nodded in understanding.

Then, the two of them walked slowly out of the tavern.

After walking out of the tavern, the two of them spread their legs at the same time in tacit understanding and started running wildly.

Just now, the look that Roche cast at Barrist meant-run as soon as you get out of the tavern!

......

......

After Roche and Barrist rushed out of the tavern, the armed merchant group dressed in the characteristic costumes of the Britannia Empire withdrew their gaze.

All eyes were focused on the head of their merchant group, an old man whose hair was almost completely gray.

"Head."

A young man sitting next to the old man asked in a low voice.

"Are we going to chase those two people?"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, their head said without hesitation:

"Of course!"

The head's old face, which was as old as a dry orange peel, now showed a meaningful smile.

"Did you all see it just now?"

"The armor that guy was wearing and the sword on his waist are not cheap goods."

"It's obvious that he is an officer in the army, and he is of a high rank."

"It's rare to meet a senior officer of the Luo Lin Army in the wild, so of course I have to chase him."

"After all - I have always wanted to find an opportunity to have a good chat with the senior officers of the Luo Lin Army..."

After that, the head put the wine glass back on the table.

Then he stood up with the long sword at his waist and took out a large bag of money from his arms.

"Manager, this is our meal and wine money."

While shouting to the manager in fluent Rolin language, he threw the purse in his hand to the bar in front of the manager.

Then he led his subordinates armed with various weapons and strode out of the tavern...

......

......

Driven by the desire to survive, Roger and Barrister ran as hard as they could.

"Why is there an armed merchant group from the Britannia Empire in the tavern!"

While running, Barrister did not forget to shout loudly.

"Aren't the two countries at war now?! Is that merchant group crazy! They are already at war, and they are still going to the enemy country to trade!"

"Who knows!" Roger shouted angrily, "Don't worry about it! Shut up and run!"

There is nothing worse than running into the armed merchant group of the Britannia Empire in the wild.

In terms of badness, there may be only two things that are worse than "running into the Britannia Army's scout team in the wild" and "running into the Britannia Empire's army in the wild".

Although this armed merchant group of the Britannia Empire may not be interested in the two of them.

But relatively speaking - this armed merchant group of the Britannia Empire may also be quite interested in the two of them.

No one can guarantee that this armed merchant group of the Britannia Empire is a group of bounty lovers. They are interested in Roger, who is obviously a senior general in the army, and plan to cut off Roger's head and take it to the Britannia Empire's military camp to claim the reward.

At the same time, it is not guaranteed that this armed merchant group of the Britannia Empire is a group of fanatical patriots.

Adhering to the belief of serving the country, getting rid of Roger, a senior general of the Luolin Army...

In short, anything can happen.

To be on the safe side, the best choice is to run away!

Stay as far away from this armed merchant group as possible.

At the same time, pray in your heart that this armed merchant group has no interest in them...

However, it is really what you fear.

When the two of them began to run weak, they suddenly heard the dense sound of horse hooves coming from far behind them...
