Chapter 29 Asking for help
Black clouds surged above the sky, and the cold wind swept the ice and snow across the earth, tearing apart the layers of white fog like sharp blades. As dull thunder sounded in the distance, fist-sized hailstones fell from the sky.
Kaiyuan City, in the castle bathroom.
In the mist-shrouded pool, Enzo was bare-chested, soaking his body comfortably in the warm water, squinting his eyes and dozing off. Lin, a slave girl wearing tulle, was half-kneeling by the pool at the moment, stretching out a pair of white and tender palms. A gentle squeeze on his shoulder.
The girl's unique body fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. Feeling Lin's gentle service, Enzo's body gradually relaxed, but his thoughts changed in his heart.
A month has passed since the Iron Scythe family attacked Kaiyuan City.
During this period, the situation in the Cold Plains was turbulent. Since the Iron Scythe family annexed Giant Wolf City, they have shown great ambitions. Andrew, the lord of Iron Horn City, used the resources plundered in the war to recruit a large number of soldiers. , and began crazy expansion.
In just one month, the Iron Scythe family started six wars!
Under Andrew's personal leadership, the Iron Scythe family not only took over the towns such as Wolf Heart and Wolf Fang around Giant Wolf City, but even Wildfire Town and Lighthouse Town, which were affiliated with Kaiyuan City, were also attacked.
"Master Enzo, Sir O'Quinn, please go to the study."
There was a sudden sound in his ears. Enzo opened his eyes and saw Daisy, wearing a black and white maid uniform, standing respectfully at the bathroom door.
Wow! Get up from the pool.
After getting dressed under Lin's service, Enzo followed Daisy's footsteps and quickly came to the study door.
Pushing open the door, Enzo walked in.
The fireplace was burning brightly and the study room was warm. O'Quinn and Talon were sitting around a table, discussing something.
"Father, Uncle Tyron." Enzo greeted the two of them.
"You're here, Enzo." O'Quinn smiled and pointed to the empty seat at the table: "Sit down first."
Enzo sat down as he was told and looked at O'Quinn.
"You came to see me, what's the matter?"
"Last night, the Iron Horn City's army attacked the Golden City!" O'Quinn got straight to the point and said in a deep voice, "The Lord of the Golden City just sent a message with an eagle, hoping that Kaiyuan City can help."
"Iron Horn City attacked the Golden City?" Enzo was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows and said, ": Just after taking the Giant Wolf City, you dare to attack the Golden City. It seems that the Iron Sickle Family's ambitions are not small!"
"The ambition is indeed not small, but it depends on their abilities." Tai Lun sneered on the side and said, "Iron Scythe's bastards used some conspiracy and tricks to take away the Giant Wolf City. They really thought they had the strength to sweep across the ice field. Can’t do it?”
"Then father plans to send troops to support the Golden City?" Enzo looked at O'Quinn and asked.
"The Iron Scythe family is so ambitious that they dare to attack Kaiyuan City. Maybe it's time to make them pay some price!"
O'Quinn squinted his eyes, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Since drinking the magic potion you prepared, I have recovered more than 80% of my strength. It's time for Andrew to understand who is the strongest on the ice sheet!"
As he spoke, O'Quinn slowly stood up, opened his arms, and exuded a tyrannical aura from his body.
"Have you returned to this state?" Enzo murmured in a low voice, his eyes brightening slightly.
During the month when Iron Horn City expanded its power, Kaiyuan City had been keeping a low profile and quiet. O'Quinn and Tyron were responsible for the order and security of the city, while Enzo had been hiding in the laboratory for a long time.
After hundreds of experiments, he finally prepared the [Purple Ding Potion] and successfully suppressed the curse on O'Quinn, gradually recovering his constantly polluted body!
Boom, boom, boom! Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Is it Clarence? Come in." O'Quinn returned to his seat and said to the door.
The door was pushed open, and a tall man wearing bronze armor walked in.
"Lord O'Quinn, Lord Tyron, Master Enzo!"
Clarence, the knight of Wildfire Town, bowed to the three of them according to etiquette, then straightened his back and looked at O'Quinn.
"Sir, the envoy from the Golden City wants to see you."
"Oh, so fast?" O'Quinn raised the corners of his lips and chuckled, "It seems that Roble is under a lot of pressure!"
"Bring people in."
Clarence nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the study. When he reappeared, the Golden City messenger followed behind him.
"Harris?" Enzo raised his eyebrows slightly and discovered that the envoy sent by the Golden City was actually Harris, who had met him once.
"We meet again, Master Enzo." Harris smiled with a smile on his face and saluted respectfully: "On behalf of the Lord of the Golden City, Roblei, Harris would like to extend his sincere greetings to the respected Lord of Kaiyuan City, O'Quinn! "
"Hello, Harris." O'Quinn raised his head slightly, looked forward with a scrutinizing gaze, and said, "Explain your purpose of coming, envoy of the Golden City."
Under O'Quinn's majestic gaze, Harris couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, but he quickly regained his composure as a businessman, organized some words in his mind, and spoke.
"Last night, the Iron Sickle Family's army attacked Golden City. Andrew, the Lord of Iron Horn City, ignored the peace agreement with the Golden Alliance and unilaterally declared war!"
"My Lord Roble is deeply disgusted with this despicable behavior and vows to make Iron Horn City pay the price!"
"This time, Harris was ordered by our Lord to represent the Golden City and ask for help from Lord O'Quinn, the Lord of Kaiyuan. He hopes that our two cities will join forces to resist the Iron Scythe Clan!"
After Harris explained his purpose, he took out the token representing the Lord of the Golden City from his arms and presented it with respectful hands.
Clarence took away the gold token, confirmed its authenticity, nodded to O'Quinn, and then gave it back to Harris.
"I already understand what Roblay means."
"But I'm curious, if he wants Kaiyuan City to send troops to rescue, what price is he going to pay?"
O'Quinn sat astride the iron chair, tapped the armrest with his fingers, and asked in a deep voice with solemn eyes.
"As long as you can send troops to aid the Golden City, my Lord Luo Fulai will never be stingy for the sake of our friendship with Kaiyuan!"
When Harris saw O'Quinn speaking, he was slightly relieved and said confidently.
"My Lord knows that Kaiyuan's resources have suffered a lot recently due to the war with Giant Wolf City and Iron Horn City. Therefore, to show sincerity, Golden City specially prepared 100,000 gold coins, 5,000 war horses, and more. Twenty thousand slaves in their prime!"
"Furthermore, as long as our two-city alliance can defeat the Iron Sickle Clan this time, Golden City is willing to sign an agreement with Kaiyuan and make tribute every year in the future."
