Lord of the Oasis

Dongjun City covers a large area, and its status is second only to Lionheart City in the Lion Principality.

After all, it is a trading port city beside the Reisniston River. Although it is not the best riverbed port due to the river, trade is also prosperous thanks to the daily maintenance and excavation of the river.

Similarly, it is also the only city in the Lion Kingdom, and of course it can be regarded as prosperous.

Even after closure.

Kant led the team forward.

The spacious dirt road was built and leveled, it seems that because of the cold weather in the East County, the road is not rugged and muddy, and even if the caravans driving the carriages come and go, it does not cause much damage to the road.

At least compared to the rugged dirt roads in the territory of Dong County or the territory of North County, the roads near Dong County City are well built.

At least still know how to repair the rough road.

But to say the road is the best.

Or the leader of South County.

Just in the trading port of Lionheart City, there are paved roads. From the city center to the port, the 6-meter-wide paved road can be regarded as the best road in the entire Lion Principality, which is why the trade in this city is so developed.

Kant was dismissive of this. Roads should be built, but not building roads and infrastructure would be considered bad.

In the past it was a military need.

But economic needs should also be paid attention to.

Simply using roads to delay the enemy's attack is not as good as relying on a good economy to build a strong force to resist the enemy's attack, or simply use the attack instead of the defense to put the enemy in crisis.

The worst thing is to keep the enemy out of the country, lest the fire of war burn on your own land.

This concept is still too advanced.

Or.

The feudal lords didn't care at all.

Everyone is sweeping the snow, no matter what other people do. Although the segregation system is stable, it brings certain drawbacks. For example, the inability to unify forces in a short time is the biggest drawback.

Follow the road and enter near the city gate of the Eastern Territory.

Armed militiamen armed with long guns were on guard.

However, it is not like an armed militia, wearing iron-inlaid leather armor and holding a long gun with an iron-coated front.

It is more like a truly trained elite spearman, with an iron helmet on his head, and his mental outlook is much better than that of ordinary militiamen, at least in terms of quality.

If you want to enter Dongjun City, each person needs to pay an entry fee of 1 small silver coin. If it is a caravan, each carriage will pay an additional 10 small silver coins. Children or the elderly do not want money, it seems that they are innocent.

For the economy to develop well, of course there must be strict rules.

Trade cities are just that.

Kant and the others approached, and the elite spearmen became nervous.

Especially looking at the appearance of all of them wearing leather armor or chain armor, even if they are covered with linen robes, they do not look good. If they are simply mercenaries, there are too many.

These elite spearmen dare not enter the city at will.

If there is a problem.

That's a big deal!

Even on both sides of the city gate, crossbowmen appeared, looking at Kant and the others below in surprise.

In their opinion, even a large number of mercenary groups is enough, but it is really amazing that such a cavalry team that can support a small main force has appeared now.

Even on the inner side of the city gate, a wooden stake fence was specially set up because of the requirements of the knights on duty at the city gate.

Heavy logs cross-bundled.

There are also sharp spear points and sharp blades nailed to it.

If an ordinary person collided, he would definitely be pierced through his belly, and he couldn't die any longer.

This thing is a military tool. It is specially used to defend the city and is responsible for preventing the cavalry from attacking the city gate. Of course, the purpose is also to prevent Kant and the others outside the city gate, for fear of accidents.

Right in the center of Dongjun City, in the city lord's mansion, is Countess Ai Jiasha.

The supreme lord of this place.

No offense.

But just as this group of elite spearmen and the knights guarding the city gates were helpless, not knowing what to do with this group of cavalry,

There was news from behind.

It was the news brought by the housekeeper of the city lord's official residence.

"The cavalry is outside?"

The housekeeper was a lean old man, walking at high speed all the way, tired and panting.

However, he didn't care about this. Instead, he stretched out his hand to hold the knight's shoulder and asked anxiously, "What's your attitude towards them? Haven't you done anything excessive?"

"No, we keep a certain distance."

The gate knight shrugged.

After a pause, looking at the ugly face of the housekeeper, he still muttered: "I just let them wait outside, I didn't dare to let them enter the city directly. After all, you know, these people look like elite troops, in case they enter the city. If there is a problem in the city, no one can bear the consequences.”

"Well, not bad, not bad, very good." The old housekeeper heaved a sigh of relief: "It's fine."

"Old housekeeper, why are you so serious?"

The city gate knight was also puzzled: "Who is the backstage of the mercenary team outside?" He asked curiously: "Could it be from other great nobles who would appear near Dongjun City? This is the first time after the closure. once."

But what answered him was the housekeeper's reprimand: "Don't ask questions if you have nothing to do!"

Wave your hand.

A guard, also wearing fine mail, came up from behind.

They were all armed with swords and shields and iron helmets on their heads. They were clearly the most elite guards in the city lord's official residence. There were 300 people. They quickly took over the vicinity of the city gate, and they also called a lot of strong archers to enter the city wall. Appears to be on guard.

All of this was carried out quietly, even on the city wall, bending over to switch defenses.

It seems that he doesn't want the outside world to know.

The housekeeper also went out.

He casually instructed the knights to let the spearmen disperse and drive away the caravans that were lining up to enter the city.

Then he quickly walked towards Kant and the others, with a humble and respectful smile on his face: "Lord Kant, hearing that you have come from afar makes our Earl Agasha of the Eastern County really happy."

"Oh, yes, Aunt Agatha is very considerate."

Kant smiled.

Sweeping across the city wall, he pointedly said: "Could it be that Dongjun City has encountered trouble recently, the city wall is so serious now, and so many troops are deployed."

The housekeeper quickly wiped the sweat from his face: "It's all trivial matters, beware of that degenerate Gibran."

"That's it."

Kant nodded and chuckled: "You should really beware."

"Yes." The old butler nodded again and again: "Who would have thought that the original bloody battle, Viscount Gibran, turned to the abyss demon and turned into a demon. It was the most serious corruption, and no one could forgive him. "

"Prepare in advance, I heard that he is on the death penalty mountain."

Kant took it as if he didn't see where the reason for the old housekeeper's anxiety came from.

Instead, he pointed to the north: "What other dark red sect, it is said that it was founded by the remnants of the demon sect who once stirred up the blood and rain. If you want to destroy it, I think there is the goal, yes, remember more. Bring some great knights over, ordinary troops may not pose any threat to Gibran."

"Yes Yes."

The old butler did not dare to say anything more about this matter.

Others don't know, but he knows.

Why did Gibran turn into the evil abyss demon.

Why is the once hidden and well-known dark red sect exposed on the death penalty mountain.

Why is the entire East County Territory caught in a strange crisis.

Not all this Baron Kant!

Silently sneaked into the East County Territory, led the troops to directly kill Viscount Gibran's elite cavalry attendants who came to sneak attack, and even forced out Viscount Gibran's true power.

Of course, Countess Agatha in East County City was also relieved.

She used to feel that something was wrong.

Did not expect this to happen.

Kant can also be regarded as eradicating one of the biggest pests in her.

If it really develops, based on the descriptions of demons in myths and legends, it is estimated that the entire East County Territory is in a bloody storm, full of slaughter and corpses. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people, and there are only a few thousand left in the end.

And now, the old housekeeper has received the request of Countess Agatha.

Can't let Kant enter the city!

That's right.

Just can't let Kant and his troops enter the East County City.

No matter what method is used to stop it, it is because of the guilty conscience, but also the fear of accidents.

In the current Dongjun City, even Countess Ai Jiasha did not dare to go out at will, and completely let the guards protect herself well, in order to be afraid of the people of the Dark Red Sect who might infiltrate.

Even in order to avoid his own accident, even Dongjun City arranged for the hired wandering mage to come in.

It is a pity that there is no Temple of the God of War in the East County Territory.

If there is.

Countess Agatha will let the priests of the temple come over and check whether there are any infidels from the Dark Red Sect.

After careful search, not to mention, there are indeed a few servants in the city lord's official residence who are heretics. After being caught, they still want to resist frantically, and they are directly killed by the guards, which can be regarded as the key point.

But he has no control over the vast space outside the city lord's official residence.

Aristocratic gentlemen big and small.

Various civilians and freedmen.

Including foreign businessmen and landlords and speculators.

Anyone may be a heretic, but rushing to arrest will lead to chaos in Dongjun City.

Having lost too much high-end combat power, Countess Agatha, who can only maintain her own self-preservation, has been like a bird in shock. In order to ensure her power, she almost racked her brains.

To prevent Kant from entering and encountering the assassination of the Dark Red Sect pagans, so as to anger Dongjun City and play on the theme.

She also tried her best.

The best.

Or directly and euphemistically ask Kant to leave.

The old butler also understood this, took out a small bag in his arms, it seemed heavy, and handed it to Kant, he said humbly: "Baron Kant, here are 10 golden eagles, I hope you can have a good time in the port. "

"Hmm." Kant took the bag.

Made of high-quality velvet, it was very heavy, and as the arm swayed, the sound of metal friction came.

Inside are palm-sized golden eagles, the Principality of Lions, and even the bulk currency in circulation in all human nations. This kind of tactful compromise is very worthwhile for him. He glanced at Dongjun City and nodded: "Port, then It's a good place, I like it there and would love to go see it."

"That's great." The old butler suddenly smiled. ()
