Chapter 135
At dawn, as soon as the patrol had opened the gate of White Mountain City, Anfey and his legion walked out in mighty formation . It was not an exaggeration to call it a mighty formation . Black Eleven was pretty influential, because he was able to get over thirty wagons . Alibaba mercenaries were in the front of the wagon route, girls in the middle, while a variety of items were carried in the back . Black Eleven said he would be in charge of getting everything ready for this trip . He did not just say it, he in fact brought everything . In addition to necessities like rice, flour, tables and other furniture, cabins, cloth and other materials, and alcohol, he even brought nails, sewing thread, rope and needles . He brought everything imageable . Black Eleven even had cosmetics for the girls . Anfey wondered if he carried the whole grocery store with him .
There were many attendants for the caravan . Anfey had mentioned to Black Eleven that they needed to figure out how to attack the Griffin Aerial Unit in the shutter ridge . Therefore, Black Eleven brought all the people he could think of and asked them to disguise themselves as the bodyguards of the merchant caravan . They walked on both sides of the caravan to protect them .
They had been travelling south the whole time . They had not run into any trouble yet . They did meet two small bandit groups . When those bandits saw their caravan from a distance stretched so far like a snake, they had backed off . Black Eleven brought over sixty people with him, and all of them were good . He also hired more than a hundred bodyguards . Those two bandit groups were not able to counter the strength of a caravan with such a large number people . Even the larger bandit group with about hundred bandits in it had to think twice before taking any action .
As it was getting dark, the caravan stopped and started to set up their camp . There were so many people working on it that Anfey did not have to do a thing on his own . He leaned back on a rock, zoning out looking at the sky . Suzanna walked to him from the other end of the camp . She took a seat opposite of Anfey . She waited for a while and snorted when she saw that Anfey kept looking at the sky .
"What are you snorting for?" People could not say whatever was on their minds . If Anfey said the same thing when Suzanna had just joined the legion, they might have already started to fight . Of course, Suzanna did not have the same attitude towards Anfey any more . Everybody had already become familiar with each other and been through difficult times together . They were more like brothers and sisters . No one would make a big deal out of jokes .
"I admire you . " Suzanna said .
"What do you mean?" Anfey asked .
"Do you know how long I have known Hagan?" Suzanna asked .
"Less than thirty years?" Anfey joked .
"You…" Suzanna did not know whether she should be angry or laugh at his answer . Everyone knew Suzanna was not even twenty years old yet . How could she know someone around thirty years? Suzanna did not want to fight with Anfey . She said, "I have known him for three years . You just met him two months ago, but it seems that you are more important to him than me . "
"Why are you saying that?" Anfey asked .
"I was asking him what he was making . He just would not tell me," Suzanna said .
"He just followed the directive . It is nothing to do with whom he is closer to . " Anfey smiled . "It looks like Hagan is more mature than I thought . "
"Are you proud of it?" Suzanna snorted again . Suzanna typically changed her mind really fast . Since Suzanna met Anfey, her attitude towards Anfey had changed a lot . She was alert from the beginning, then felt relaxed in front of Anfey, then trusted him, now she could even go into a fit of rage in front of him .
"No, no . You do not have to ask him . You can just ask me . " Anfey smiled .
"I hate people who pretend to be mysterious in front me . " Suzanna’s mouth curled down . She had asked Anfey before, but he had always told her that she would understand later . She really hated how Anfey treated her .
"But I just like to act mysterious in front of people . " Anfey heaved a sigh . "What a paradox!"
Suzanna felt helpless dealing with someone like Anfey . She should have snorted and left, but she did not . She still sat across from Anfey .
"Feller, can you get me some wine?" Anfey shouted at Feller .
"Sure," Feller answered him from distance . A moment later, Feller walked over with a bottle of wine and two wine glasses . What good service .
Black Eleven was talking with Hagan . One looked sincere, while the other kept shaking his head . After a while, Black Eleven had to stand up . He slowly walked towards Anfey . It was obvious that Suzanna was the first one lost in the conversation; and, well, Black Eleven was the second one .
As Black Eleven passed by Christian, he drew back . He saw Blavi, Riska and Zubin talking about something together, but they kept looking at Anfey . Each of them had a grin on his face . Black Eleven was shocked for a second and realized something . He did not notice it until he saw Christian and others’ grins . There was definitely something between Anfey and Suzanna when he looked at them again . Alibaba mercenaries had been trying to leave them alone . They seemed to agree not to bother them, no matter whether Anfey was looking for Suzanna or Suzanna was looking for Anfey .
It is easy to tell from Niya’s face because she kept grinning at Anfey and Suzanna in a way that seemed like she had been given hundreds and thousands of gold coins . She held Shally’s hand with one hand and the little unicorn with the other hand . If she had let Shally and the little unicorn go, they would have gone to bother Anfey and Suzanna without any doubt . She would have no show to watch if that happened .
