Chapter 1371 When Will Luo Linjun Come Back?

"No!"

Barrister cried out sadly.

"Is that armed merchant group so rich?! They even have horses!"

"Since they can make everyone have weapons, it is not difficult to make everyone have horses..." Luo Xie stopped after saying this in a deep voice.

Then he pulled out the sword from his waist with a "clop" sound, turned around, and took a stance, preparing to meet the armed merchant group of about 30 people that was about to arrive.

"Hello!"

Barrister shouted.

"Are you crazy?!"

"You don't want to fight against 30 cavalry on horseback with just one sword, do you?!"

Having said this, Barrister paused.

Then, he cast a look full of hope towards Luo Xie.

"Is it possible that you are confident that you can fight against so many people on your own?"

As soon as Barrister finished speaking, Roger shattered his illusions mercilessly:

"Don't be stupid, I don't have that much ability."

"It's okay if there are only one or two riders."

"It's too much for me to ride for more than 30 years."

"After all, I am not a general known for his bravery."

"Then why did you stop!"

"The other side has a horse, but we only have two legs, so we can't outrun each other."

"And the surrounding area is too empty, and there is no place for us to hide."

"You can't escape by simply running away."

Luo Xie replied in a deep voice.

"Although I can't handle so many people at the same time, I can still do it if I buy some time."

After saying that, Luo Xie turned around and cut the hemp rope tightly binding Barrister's hands with a sword.

"Run away quickly."

"I'll buy you some time."

"Although I don't know if the time I buy you is enough for you to escape."

"But this is also the only way to survive now..."

"You should leave quickly."

"Please be sure to arrive in Tuli and convey the news that Orleans is still holding on to the central government..."

As soon as Luo Xie finished speaking, a cavalryman on a tall horse appeared from the horizon in the distance.

It was the armed merchant group that I had just encountered at the tavern.

"Tsk...it came so quickly..."

Roger pushed Barrister hard.

"Come on! Orleans and this country are in your hands!"

The situation changed so quickly that Barrister was a little overwhelmed.

After Luo Xie pushed him away and told him to leave quickly, he stood still, as if his body was moving on its own, and began to spread his legs and wave his arms, preparing to escape from this place.

However - before Barrister could escape far, a sharp arrow passed by Luo Xie's side, and then accurately hit the ground at Barrister's feet.

Barrister, who was frightened by the sudden arrow, let out a scream and then collapsed on the ground.

This arrow was undoubtedly shot by someone from this armed merchant group.

But the strange thing is - the person who just shot the arrow seemed to have specifically aimed at the ground near Barrister's feet, rather than at Barrister's body.

Taking advantage of the gap when Barrister was slumped on the ground and had no time to get up, the armed merchant group accelerated their horses and surrounded Roche and Barrister in one breath.

"Tsk..."

Just using the word "ugly" to describe Luo Xie's face is not enough.

"Didn't you manage to escape...?"

Then I thought to myself:

——As expected, do you still need a horse...

——Without a horse, it is impossible to escape from the clutches of the cavalry with just two legs...

Luo Xie carefully reviewed the situation just now - if they had horses, letting Barrister ride on the horse would be enough for Barrister to escape with the speed of the horse.

They would not be in the predicament of being surrounded now.

Barrister's face looked equally ugly at this time.

He silently grabbed a big stone next to him, then stood up, back to back with Luo Xie.

And Luo Xie also clenched the sword in his hand, racking his brains to think of a way to solve the current crisis.

At this moment, a fluent and standard Luolin language sounded from among the armed business group:

"Don't be nervous, you two. We are not enemies."

Luo Xie and Barrister were stunned when they heard this fluent and frightening Luo Lin dialect.

Because this Rollin language doesn't sound like it's spoken by Britons...

Roger and Barrister followed suit.

The members of the armed merchant group separated from the left and right to make way for an empty path.

An old man passed through this empty road, riding his horse and pacing slowly towards Luo Xie and Barrister.

"We are not from Britannia, so you two don't have to worry."

The old man continued to speak in fluent and frightening Luolin dialect:

"We are all Rollins."

"It's just that...we are all Rollins from Sher Province."

After hearing the term "Sier Province", Luo Xie's pupils shrank suddenly.

As a soldier, and a soldier who had participated in the war with the Britannia Empire eight years ago, he certainly knew where the "Sier Province" was located and what it meant.

Cher Province - one of the seven northern provinces that was ceded to the Britannia Empire due to the Treaty of Troyes 8 years ago...

The old man then continued:

"Our clothes are just for the convenience of our business."

The old man tugged at the characteristic clothing of the Britannia Empire on his body.

"Wearing this clothing can show loyalty to the Britannia Empire."

The old man smiled bitterly.

"Prove that you are loyal to the Britannia Empire."

"As long as you wear this clothing, you will not be easily troubled by the officials of the Britannia Empire..."

"This business trip is also unlucky. I learned that the Britannia Empire has launched an attack on this country again when I was halfway through my business in my original homeland..."

"Fortunately, we are an armed merchant group. On the way back to the Britannia Empire, no one dares to do anything to us."

After expressing his feelings, the old man raised his head and looked directly at Roger.

"You are a senior general in the army, right?"

"Although I don't know why you, as a senior general in the army, appear in such a remote place."

"But I don't care about this kind of thing."

"The reason why I rashly came to you is not for anything else."

"Just to ask you, a senior officer of the Luolin Army, a question."

At this point, the old man paused suddenly.

After a few hesitations flashed across his face, this old man, who was already not young, was like a child who was hesitating whether to ask his parents if he could give him a candy. His tone became full of tension and expectation...

"When will the Luolin Empire's army... come back? Come back to the Cher Province...?"
