Lord Pender
Chapter 23: siege
"My God." The soldiers guarding the city were already shocked.
"Is this a caravan or an army?" Many soldiers whispered, feeling more and more strange.
If it was an army, why would there be so many trucks? If it was a caravan, what happened to a bunch of lion soldiers wearing wallets, leather boots, and leather gloves? For a time, many soldiers were all at a loss.
However, the original interest has also decreased a lot. If it is expected, this time, I am afraid that there will be nobles sitting in town again, otherwise there will not be so many lion soldiers accompanying.
Article 12 of Alfred's Code states that the nobles' team does not need to pay the city tax, and the nobles' caravans only need to pay 50% of the city tax.
"What a great posture." At this time, many of the soldiers defending the city had no intention of paying attention to the issue of the city entry tax, because the number of the opponent kept appearing in the field of vision, and the team before and after was almost a hundred people. .
"Why does it feel like they just finished the battle, with such a strong **** aura." A city guard officer said, looking very puzzled.
He was also considered to have participated in the war, so he could naturally feel the strong murderous aura in the opposing team.
Is there a war now? Haven't heard of it.
"Who are you?" The city guard had already instructed his soldiers to step forward and ask.
After all, with so many people, it is impossible to let the other party approach the city gate casually.
"I'm Baron Leo Archimonde," Leo took out a pale gold badge, which was engraved with a sheathed arrow and a sharp arrow intertwined on the flame, faint leaves Textured trim, extremely refined.
But immediately, Li Luo put away the badge, and the guarding officer glanced at the huge team, all of them bearing the mark of Archimonde, Lord Baron personally sitting in town, this is really no oil or water.
As a city defender, his salary is much higher than that of an officer of the same rank, which is almost five times more. Of course, this also requires him to be proficient in the coat of arms of the major nobles on the Pande Continent. Know some of the news that circulates among the nobles.
Therefore, even with just a glance, the badge is confirmed to be correct. That is to say, the young man in front of him is really the newly appointed young baron of Archimonde. It is said that he defeated the adjacent baron as soon as he was appointed. Baron Wood, won a large village.
But immediately, the city guard officers also wondered, this Lord Baron, is it possible that he really encountered something on the way? Why is the entire team covered in blood, obviously a few people are injured.
With such a large team, there was a big battle? Seeing the dried blood on the battle armor that hasn't completely fallen off, the city guard officer was shocked. What's going on?
Fortunately, he didn't need to ask. Leo said directly, "Is Duke Alama in the city? I have urgent matters to report to Duke Alama."
Although the Duke of Alama has a distinguished status, in terms of strength alone, a little finger can easily crush Leo, and his financial resources are enough to buy countless Archimonde barons. Generally, big businessmen who are several times richer than Leo, maybe Don't dare to ask to see you at will.
But Leo dared, because they both belonged to the nobles. In this country where there is a huge gap between nobles and commoners, the status of aristocracy is tantamount to one of the biggest capitals for the current Leo.
Of course, whether you want to see him or not depends on the mood of the great noble who is almost standing at the top of the continent, and Leo is not sure.
"Lord Baron, Duke Alama went to the Lion City four days ago this morning." The city guard replied respectfully.
"Ah?" Leo was slightly disappointed when he heard the words, "Is the Governor here?"
"Governor Wirth should be in the governor's office." The city guard replied.
"Thank you," Leo nodded lightly, and waved his hand to indicate that most of the team camped on the spot. Captain Kari and another armored infantry entered the city with ten lion soldiers, and of course there were more than ten accompanying them. Caravan Guard.
After changing his armor, the pale red silk gown covered his face very decently, and many guards accompanied him, which was extremely eye-catching.
"The style is not small." The Great River City, after all, is also a great city of Pande, and the citizens have seen the world, so it didn't cause much sensation, and many people pouted and looked at this line and said.
"This team looks unusual, with a bit of murderous aura, not ordinary soldiers," some knowledgeable people said, frowning, seeing a little bit of the doorway.
……
"You mean, alien creatures?" Governor Wirth, who was a scholar at this time, was also taken aback when he heard Leo's narration, but after all, he was a member of the Alama family, and he was able to govern the Great River City. of composure.
"Yes, the juniors killed a lot of goblins and ogres on the battlefield, and brought some corpses. I feel that since they are lingering near the Great River City, I am afraid that they may become disasters in the future." Leo In order to enhance the credibility, it also said the same.
"What!" Hearing Leo's addition, Governor Wilt couldn't sit still, frowned tightly, picked up the parchment on one side after writing, and then quickly wrote something with a quill pen. After a while, the bell rang Call in a servant.
"Hurry up and send this letter to Lion City, and be sure to hand it over to the Duke in person," Governor Wirth said with a serious face.
"Yes," the attendant saw the look on his own governor's face, and also knew the seriousness of the matter. He secretly wondered what the two nobles were talking about, and he had to urgently notify the duke.
"Actually, it's not the first time I've heard of those goblins and the so-called ogres," Governor Wilt looked at Leo and said, "There have been some rumors before, but most of them looted some. It's just the villagers, no one cares.
Their calamity is worse than some robbers. We don't take it to heart, but according to what you said, those goblins and ogres, they are so powerful, and they can join hands with each other to fight on a large scale, may indeed become a big problem.
If an ordinary caravan encounters it, even if the entire army will be wiped out, it will still have a considerable impact on the Great River City. Even if the number of the city guards is small, it is difficult to be completely complete. will grow. "After all, he is the governor of the Great River City, and once it is involved in the prosperity of the Great River City, he has enough courage.
But Leo shook his head secretly. Governor Wirth had always had a good reputation, and he was quite polite to him, but the contrast between before and after was quite obvious.
The looting of villagers doesn't have much impact. Ordinary civilians have little sense of existence for the nobles of the Lion Realm. Even Governor Wirth can't be free from the vulgarity. This country already seems quite...
"Come on, Baron Leo, let's see the corpse you brought," Governor Wilt said.
"My lord, come with me," Leo said with some respect. Although the other party was a court earl, he was a member of the Alama family. The governor of the Great River City had a very high status.
Halfway through, he saw a squire rushed over in a hurry, and then panted and approached Governor Wirth. Seeing this scene, Leo also took two steps back.
"What?" Governor Wirth was still frowning. He always pays attention to etiquette. To his liking, the attendants of the Governor's Palace are also gentle and courteous~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It really made him unhappy, but after hearing what the other party said, he couldn't care so much.
"Baron Leo, you don't have to go," Governor Wirth's words immediately made Leo frown slightly.
"My lord, could it be that something happened?" Leo could only guess like this, did something happen? Is it even a small thing?
Otherwise, with the novelty of the ogre corpse, how could Governor Wilt change his plans?
"The ogres are besieging the city," Governor Wirth said with a slight frown, "I didn't expect those ogres to be so maddened, but Baron Leo, your estimate is wrong. According to the report of the city guards, there are only five hundred people. about.
Hmph, such a person is not too timid to dare to attack the idea of the Great River City. "
"What!" Hearing this, Leo also changed color. If they had encountered so many ogres before, they would have suffered a lot of casualties. "Then my subordinates, please..."
"Baron Leo, don't worry, they have already entered the city," Governor Wirth said, "but Baron Leo, after all, you have already fought with ogres, please come with me to explain the situation of these ogres.
Although their strength is not very good, the sentinel found that there is still a steady stream of backup, so it is better to be cautious. "
There were not many people. Hearing this, Leo had no choice but to smile bitterly. He was indeed the Governor of the Great River City. If the ogres were as many as 500 people as the other party said, I am afraid that the general counties would not be able to compete. .
But after thinking about it, this Great River City is a big city that Pender can count, with mixed fish and dragons, and the water depth is comparable to that of a royal capital. It is normal for Governor Wirth to be so confident.
