Chapter 222: Chapter 220: Suddenly Becoming Strong and Powerful_1

"Tsk——" The surrounding military officers booed in unison, showing their disdain with a wave of their hands.

Old Fisher looked puzzled again: "Your elder sister? There’s another top-notch expert from the Devin Family here to support us?"

The military officers nearby explained the situation to Old Fisher, who scratched his head: he always felt that this "elder sister" was somehow related to the master!

Although I have no evidence, this is just like the master’s style!

The last time Ethereal Devin was caught by Magpie to find monkey fruit wine — as everyone knows, under Magpie’s paws, as soon as he looked up, he could tell the gender of the Magpie, this was common sense, and it had nothing to do with whether Ethereal Devin was lecherous or not — he thought Magpie was so good to him that he had actually found the wine for him even when his subordinates were like wooden logs.

So he recognized her as his "elder sister" on the spot and believed that all the prey given by Magpie was for him, a close younger brother, and the others were just taking advantage of it.

How could the others believe him?

Just as everyone was making a commotion, a military officer suddenly shouted from the outpost tower: "Something’s happening!"

"A large group of people is approaching from the southwest!"

The military officers reacted quickly, disappearing in an instant, and showing up at their posts as fast as they could. Lord Prescott might not be in charge of much, but he was extremely strict about military discipline.

Ethereal Devin resentfully glanced at Old Fisher before leaving. Old Fisher got angry: What’s wrong with your look? Am I a jinx? It’s usually fine, but there’s a problem as soon as I open my mouth?

He also climbed up to the sentry tower and saw that a team indeed appeared in the southwest direction, with bright clothes and magnificent horses galloping towards them — they seemed to be an elite force.

But as they got closer, everyone saw clearly: it was a false alarm, as they were all wearing the uniforms of the Horizon Bureau.

Owen Bertram came out as well, followed by David: "Are these the reinforcements that Master Lane mentioned?"

The team quickly arrived under the outpost, and a girl with a bright smile on her face waved vigorously at the outpost: "Little Owen, your big sister is finally back!"

Ava Bertram poked her little head out from behind her elder brother, like a tiger looking at a bear in the woods: although it’s not my opponent, it’s still a formidable rival!

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow grinned as she took out various snacks from the Storage Brocade Pouch: "Tabitha, see what delicious food I brought for you?"

Verna’s hostility disappeared, and she leaped down with a cheer...

The team was indeed made up of fifty elites! With such reinforcements, Owen Bertram recalculated the strength at his disposal: David, Old Fisher, Sophia, Nathan Lane, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow...

It suddenly felt quite powerful.

However, these people ignored the original outpost soldiers once they entered the outpost. It was true that Ethereal Devin’s subordinates were too lame, as their average cultivation was much lower than the others.

It was clear that this team was carefully built by the Devin Family for Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow. How could Ethereal Devin, a distant branch member, compare to Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow’s treatment?

After Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow finished catching up with Ava Bertram, she came over and patted Owen Bertram’s shoulder with a smile, speaking like a brother: "Little Owen, you’re doing well now, on par with me."

Owen Bertram also felt a bit surreal. He didn’t expect to reunite with this girl in such a way. He waved to everyone, "Let’s talk inside."

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow followed him to the backyard, where a young man also followed in.

Owen Bertram looked puzzled at Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, who was about to introduce herself when the young man had already greeted him with a fist: "Greetings, Lord Prescott. My name is Easton Lin, acting as the Chief Flag under Sir Devin. I’ve been assisting Sir Devin on this journey, acting as her left-hand man, right-hand man, and capable general!"

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow leaned into Owen Bertram’s ear, a little embarrassed to explain in a low voice: "He’s an assistant the family found for me. You know, I’m not very concerned with specific matters. He handles the details for me...hehe."

Owen Bertram understood that the family did not trust her abilities and had found her an assistant. That meant he really was a trusted aide. But would it be a bit awkward for you to introduce yourself this way?

Owen Bertram didn’t drive him away: "Join us."

This was a small meeting where they exchanged information and discussed how to carry out the mission in Casterly County.

Owen Bertram already had a draft plan in his mind, and now that he had enough manpower, he was even more confident, so he didn’t say much, wanting to hear everyone’s opinions first.

Nathan Lane was prepared as he knew that his role was now in "investigation" as his cultivation was too weak. But almost every time he spoke, Easton Lin interrupted him. After a few times, Nathan Lane was annoyed and tried to speak faster than Easton Lin — but Easton Lin’s cultivation was much stronger than his, so Easton Lin’s voice was always louder and always won...

Gradually, Nathan Lane stopped talking.

Easton Lin spread out a map of Casterly County and talked eloquently, finally concluding: "If we set off tomorrow, we can take this road, passing through Abraham Town, Chess Pass, Bali Road...and finally entering Casterly County through Len Pass. This way, we can avoid the Extinction Domains along both banks of the river and have the shortest journey.

Another advantage is... we should be more cautious about the statements made by the Horizon Bureau’s Prescott Group. This route is more conducive to our concealment, so they won’t track our whereabouts."

After Easton Lin finished speaking, he looked at everyone, confident in his arrangements and abilities, and believing that no one could find fault with them.

However, no one in the audience, including his superior Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, looked at him; they all looked at Owen Bertram, waiting for his decision.

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow was muddled about little things and clear about big things. The transfer order explicitly stated: Owen Bertram was in charge.

She jokingly said Owen Bertram was now on par with her, but at least in this mission, Owen Bertram became her superior.

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow was not offended. Instead, she felt happy for Little Owen!

Feeling crushed, Easton Lin could only wait for Owen Bertram’s decision.

As he spoke, Owen Bertram casually supported his head with his hand, not really listening to him but considering his plan, continuing to look for flaws and omissions.

As soon as Easton Lin started talking, Owen Bertram knew that everything he said was "wishful thinking."

However, he didn’t blame Easton Lin, as Owen held most of the first-hand information. In a state of "information asymmetry," Easton Lin’s plan naturally seemed laughable.

So after Easton Lin finished, Owen Bertram didn’t bother commenting, just pointed at David: "Do we have a ship?"

David grinned, raising his hand to reveal a crystal-like ball containing an iron-shell battleship: "When we searched Prince Henry’s Mansion, Prince Henry had hidden a fleet in Nine Caves Lake. Among them were eighteen large iron-shell ships, and the master specially left one for me, which will now come in handy."

Owen Bertram thought to himself: This is clearly for me — Master Lane is really good to his subordinates, afraid that I’ll make things difficult for you, deliberately borrowing your hands to give me this favor.

"Alright, let’s take the water route and go upstream along the
