Chapter 397: .Euphemistic art of compromise

East County has a large area and is second only to Lion Heart City in the male lion's homeland.
After all, it is a trading port city along the River Resiston. Although it is not the best riverbed port due to the river channel, the trade is also prosperous thanks to daily maintenance and excavation of the river channel.
Similarly, it is the only city in the male lion kingdom, of course it is prosperous.
The same is true even after being closed.
Kant led the team forward.
The wide dirt road was leveled, it seems that it was because of the cold weather in the east county, so the road was not rugged and muddy. Even if the caravans driving the carriage came and went, it did not cause too much damage to the road.
At least the rugged dirt roads of the East County Territory, or the North County Territory, are well built near the East County City.
At least still know to repair the rough road.
But the road is the best.
It’s the Southern County leader.
In the trading port of Lion Heart City, all are paved roads. From the center of the city to the port, the 6-meter wide paved road can be regarded as the best road in the entire Principality of the Lions, which is why the city's trade is so developed.
Kant was dismissive of this. Road construction should be done. No road construction or infrastructure construction is considered bad.
The old days were military needs.
But economic needs should also be paid attention to.
To simply use the road to slow down the enemy's attack speed, it is better to rely on a good economy to build a strong force to resist the enemy's attack, or simply use the offensive instead of defense, so that the enemy is in crisis.
The worst is to defend the enemy from outside the country, lest the flames of war burn on your own land.
This concept is still too advanced.
Or.
Lords still in the feudal era do not care.
In front of each door, no matter what other people do, although the sub-blocking system is stable layer by layer, it has brought some disadvantages. For example, the failure to unify forces in a short time is the biggest disadvantage.
Follow the road into the east gate near the city gate.
Armed militias armed with spears are guarding.
However, it is not like an armed militia, wearing iron-clad leather armor and holding a long iron-clad lance.
More like a truly trained elite pikemen, with iron helmets buckled on his head, his mental appearance is much better than that of ordinary militiamen, and at least he is more than half-powered in quality.
If you want to enter the East County City, each person needs to pay 1 small silver coin for entering the city. If it is a caravan, each carriage will pay an additional 10 small silver coins. If the child or the old man does not need money, it seems childless.
If the economy is to develop well, there must of course be strict rules.
This is the case with trading cities.
Kant approached them, and the elite spearmen were tense.
Especially when I look at them all wearing leather armor or chain armor, even if they are covered with linen robes, they don't look good. If they are purely mercenaries, there are too many.
These elite pikemen dare not put them into the city at will.
If something goes wrong.
That's a big deal!
Even on both sides of the gate, crossbowmen appeared, and they looked at Kant under them with surprise.
In their view, even the large number of mercenary groups is enough, but what appears now is such a cavalry team that can support a small group of main forces, which is really amazing.
Even the inner side of the city gate was specially set up with a wooden pile fence because of the requirements of the city gate guardian knight.
Thick logs are cross-bundled.
There are also sharp spearpoints and blades nailed on it.
If an ordinary person collides, it will definitely be pierced into the belly, and the dead can't die anymore.
This thing is a military tool, which is used to guard the city. It is used to prevent the cavalry from assaulting the city gate. Of course, the purpose is to prevent Kant from outside the city gate. They are afraid of accidents.
In the center of the East County, in the mansion of the city's main mansion, is the Countess Agatha.
The supreme lord here.
No offense.
But just as this group of elite pikemen and the knights guarding the gate were helpless, I did not know how good this group of cavalry was, but news came from the rear.
It was a news from the steward of the city's official residence.
"The cavalry is outside?"
The butler was a lean old man who walked all the way, and was tired and panting.
But instead of caring about this, he reached out to hold the knight's shoulder and asked anxiously, "How do you feel about them, did you not make any excessive moves?"
"No, we keep a certain distance."
The gate knight shrugged.
After a pause, looking at the ugly face of the housekeeper, he still muttered: "Just let them wait outside, not dare to let them directly into the city, after all, you know, these people look like elite troops, just in case There is a problem in the city, but no one can bear the consequences."
"Well, good, good, very good." The old housekeeper suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if it's fine."
"Old housekeeper, why are you so serious?"
The city gate knight also wondered: "Who is the background of the mercenary outside?" He curiously said: "It is other nobles, it will appear near the east county, this is the closed first. once."
But the answer to him was the reprimand of the housekeeper: "Don't ask if you're fine!"
Wave your hand.
Behind them were guards who also wore fine armor.
They were all armed with sword shields and iron helmets on their heads. They were clearly the most elite guards in the city’s official residence. The number was 300. They quickly took over near the city gate, and also called a lot of strong archers to enter the city wall. Add alert look.
All this is done quietly, even on the walls, they are bent over for defense.
It seems that I don't want to let the outside know.
The butler also went out.
He casually instructed the knight to let the lancers spread out and drove those who were ready to line up to enter the city caravan.
Then he quickly walked towards Kant with a humble and respectful smile on his face: "Master Kant, I heard that you came from afar, and we are really pleased with Earl Aisha, our leader in the East County."
"Oh, yes, Aunt Ai Jiasha is very considerate."
Kant smiled.
Scanning the city wall, he pointedly said: "Could it be that the east county has been in trouble recently, and now the city walls are so serious and there are so many troops deployed."
The housekeeper quickly wiped the sweat from his face: "It's all trivial, beware of Gibran's fallen man."
"That's it."
Kant nodded and chuckled: "It should indeed be guarded."
"Yes." The old housekeeper nodded again and again: "Who would have thought that the original warrior, Viscount Gibran, had turned to the abyssal demon and turned himself into a demon, completely the worst depravity, no one can forgive. "
"Be prepared in advance, I heard that he is on the death penalty mountain."
Kant did not see where the anxious cause of the old housekeeper came from.
Instead, he pointed his finger to the north: "What other dark red sect is said to have been created by the remnants of the demon worship who once stirred up the storm. If you are going to annihilate, I think there is the goal, yes, remember more Bring a little knight in the past, ordinary troops may not pose a threat to Gibran."
"Yes Yes."
The old housekeeper dare not say much about the matter.
Others don’t know, but he knows.
Why Gibran turned into an evil abyss demon.
Why the dark sect that was once concealed is exposed to the death penalty mountain.
Why did the entire East County leader fall into a strange crisis.
Not all of this Baron Kant!
Silently infiltrated into the Eastern County, and led the troops to directly kill the elite cavalry servants of the Viscount Gibran who came to sneak attack, and even forced out the real power of Viscount Gibran.
Of course, the Countess Agatha in the East County was relieved.
Once she felt wrong.
I didn't expect this to happen.
Kant was also able to eradicate her one of the biggest internal pests.
If it really develops, based on the description of the demons in myths and legends, it is estimated that the entire East County leader is caught in a storm, full of killings and corpses. It is estimated that the population of tens of thousands of people is finally good.
Now, the old housekeeper has received the request of the Countess Agatha.
Can't let Kant enter the city!
That's right.
It is impossible to let Kant and his troops enter the East County.
No matter what method is used, it is because at the same time that you are guilty, you are also afraid of accidents.
In the current East County, even the Countess Agatha did not dare to go out at will, completely letting the guard protect herself, for the fear of the dark red people who might infiltrate.
Even in order to avoid his own accidents, even in the county of East County, hired wandering mages were arranged.
It is a pity that there is no temple of God of War~EbookFREE.me~ if any.
The Countess Agatha will let the priests of the temple come over to check carefully whether there are pagans of the Crimson sect.
After careful scrutiny, let alone, there are indeed a few servants in the mansion of the city master who are pagans. After being caught, they madly wanted to resist, and they were killed by the guards directly, which was the key to solving the problem.
But there is no control over the vast space outside the city's official residence.
Noble gentlemen of all sizes.
All kinds of civilians and free people.
Including foreign merchants and landlords and speculators.
Anyone may be a pagan, but rushing to arrest will lead to chaos in East County.
Countess Agatha, who has lost too much high-end combat power and can only sustain herself, is like a startled bird. She almost racked her brains to ensure her power.
To prevent Kant from entering the assassination of the Pagan Red Pagans, and then move the anger to play in the East County.
She also tried everything.
The best.
Kant was still asked to leave.
The old housekeeper was also aware of this, and took out a small bag in his arms, which seemed to be heavy, with both hands to Kant, and said humbly: "Baron Kant, here are 10 golden eagles. I hope you can have a good time at the port. "
"Um." Kant took the bag.
Made of fine velvet, the bulging bag is very heavy, and the sound of metal rubbing comes as the arm shakes.
Inside are all slap-sized golden eagles, the Principality of the Lions, and even the bulk of currency circulated in all human nations. This kind of euphemistic compromise is very valuable to him. When he looked at the East County, he also nodded and said: The place is good, I like it very much, and I would like to see it."
"That would be great." The old housekeeper smiled suddenly. ()
