The stronghold giant crossbow, developed and manufactured by Raphael City, was originally sold to Dorodo through Alfie and Ronald.
However, Sean refused to do business with Alfie and did not buy from Ronald. Besides that, Ronald later asked Raphael City to return the deposit.
Furious, Raphael City’s men arrived in Dorodo to confront Ronald and threaten him.
If Sean and Zander had not gone to the Townsend family and stopped them, Raphael City might have succeeded. However, due to Sean and Zander stopping Raphael City’s plan, the relationship between Dorodo and Raphael City immediately fell to the breaking point.
Raphael City suddenly ambushed them, and it did not seem to be for nothing.
“Say nothing. Let’s get on the road and try to reach Crosac before dark.” Sean ordered.
“Yes!”
Zander, the city defense soldiers, and the mayor’s personal guards said yes solemnly.
This time, Sean did not lower his voice. It was because the stray mercenaries were either dead or had run away.
They had scattered. Thus, there was no need to worry about alerting them.
***
It was getting dark.
In front of Crosac’s city gates, a blond woman with blue eyes and dressed to the nines stood in front of a car, waiting.
Behind favonovel.com was a ceremonial team of hundreds of people.
These ceremonial team members were selected from Crosac’s city defense army and were real soldiers. Though they were only standing quietly, they exuded intense pressure.
If ordinary people were in front of them, they would probably have difficulty breathing.
“Why aren’t they here yet…”
Blond and blue-eyed, Lisha was anxious as favonovel.com kept looking into the distance.
Just then, a motorcade finally appeared in the distance.
Lisha smiled broadly as favonovel.com watched the convoy of five green military jeeps, surrounded by horses and personal guards on horses, getting closer.
However, a young man in military uniform stepped forward and said to Lisha, “Miss, something doesn’t seem right.”
“What do you mean?” Lisha asked doubtfully.
“The diplomatic convoy has lost at least half of its members, and there’s no sign of the commander-in-chief of Dorodo’s city defense army, Sean Lennon and Zander, his subordinate,” The person added.
He was Flynn Seville, a chiliarch of Crosac’s city defense army. His ancestors were English, but living in the City-State Union, favonovel.com spoke English with some awkwardness.
“How can this be? Mr. Lennon is on the list of the diplomatic convoy visiting Crosac!” Lisha said in shock, favonovel.com face was full of disappointment.
“Perhaps there was an accident?” Flynn said after thinking for a moment.
The motorcade finally reached in front of them.
After slowly coming to a stop, Uriah and several personal guards on the horse dismounted, and Shania got out of the car.
Shania’s eyes were red, and favonovel.com pretty face was pale. One could tell at a glance that favonovel.com had just been crying.
Uriah and the personal guards also looked sorrowful.
“Friends of Dorodo, welcome to Crosac… What’s come over you?”
Disappointed, Lisha motivated herself and gave a welcoming speech, but favonovel.com realized something was not right in mid-speech.
“You’re Ms. Lisha, aren’t you? The mayor of Crosac’s eldest daughter?” Uriah asked, stepping forward.
“Yes,” Lisha nodded.
Flynn immediately followed, standing beside Lisha to keep favonovel.com safe.
