Chapter 398. Busy port area

Since Dongjun City is not welcome, Kant naturally has no intention of going in.

His troops are indeed quite numerous, and they can be counted as elites, especially the 30 lion knights and 50 lion squires, and the full set of equipment is enough to be called the elite of the elite.

If you put it in hastily, I'm afraid it's a bomb.

No one dares to take responsibility.

No one dared to really admit to let Kant in.

Even if you put Kant alone, or limit it to 3 people.

If there are heretics of the Dark Red Sect inside, attack Kant, and something happens, it will be Da Louzi, and the elite troops located in the Naren Desert will directly cross the North County to take revenge.

As for the other nobles of the Lion Principality, it is estimated that they will stand by and watch this good show with peace of mind.

It's really a good show.

How can it be bad to weaken one's own political enemies.

Although the Eastern Commandery is still the territory and region of the Lion Duchy, it is actually a semi-independent warlord.

If Kant and Countess Agatha really fought to the death and lost both, they would be able to take advantage of the situation to capture both places, even if they abandoned the Eastern County Territory, and instead sneaked into the Naren Desert to obtain salt mines.

Now who doesn't know that Kant's power is unparalleled, and he is worthy of those great nobles.

The reason is clearer.

It's a salt mine!

If it weren't for the salt mines in the Narun Desert, where would the funds for the initial construction be.

In the medium term, raising so many troops, as well as infiltrating other places and winning the hearts of merchants and landlords, are all places where money is spent, and Kant is like not worrying, throwing money lavishly, leaving no way out for himself.

It is because of the existence of salt mines, which is equivalent to the silver mountains and silver seas of white flowers!

This has long made countless nobles covetous.

No way.

That's all they can think of.

It is impossible to imagine that Kant does not need the base currency of this world.

Apart from gold and certain precious and extraordinary things, there was no need at all, only gold.

If you want to obtain gold in the long run, that is, the golden eagle that is currently circulating in the hands of the great nobles and merchants, then you need to be supported by trade, of course, salt is indeed the main commodity of trade, a very popular luxury.

The route taken by Kant was the upper route, a route that could only be enjoyed by the aristocracy and the landlords and merchants.

This is also true.

Ordinary civilians can't afford to eat any salt.

Wealthier citizens can't eat three or four times a week.

As for the outside of the city, the average age is 36 years old, and few farmers live past the age of 60, and they can't eat salt a few times a month, and even if they do, it's low-grade marsh salt.

It is extracted from the swamp to the east, and it has a salty flavor and is very bitter.

But the price of this thing is not low either.

Feudal era.

It was still a feudal society of the Western European type.

It is really darkness, the sinking of the day that will never come out.

For example, in a unified society like the Celestial Dynasty, after mastering the technology of boiling salt and drying salt, the autocracy of salt and iron was forced, and the price of salt was bulldozed so that it was neither too low nor too high, so that ordinary people could also eat salt, which was really not much.

You must know that in ancient times on earth, the West was more advanced during the Roman Republic.

Salt was given as a soldier's salary.

This world is more serious.

Salt is a necessity, and fine white salt is a luxury.

Equal to spices.

The aristocrats were extremely sought after for delicious, unadulterated, pure fine white salt.

If there is no such fine white salt at the banquet, it will definitely be ridiculed, especially on the face of those nobles, it is an indelible scar, and it will slowly lose connections, and eventually become alone.

In Kant's view, this is a situation where you want to die to save face and suffer sin, and that is business opportunity.

The salt mine is in his hands.

The caravan was fed by him.

If there is no absolute threat of force, his salt trade will continue to increase.

As for the so-called threat of force, in Kant's opinion, it is all a joke, at least in the current Naren Desert, he is the boss, the first, not to mention the lion principality, even if it is a god-descended undead, he must temporarily avoid the edge!

At the end of that battle, Kant's casualties were not too large and were within acceptable limits.

But those god-descendant undead are all wiped out, and all the army is destroyed!

This is the power gap.

Times are different.

Once upon a time, the gods and demons were the rulers of this world.

But now, as their authority fades, it has long since become the world of all races.

And it was during this period that the human race rose to become the best, at least in the land where Kant is located, there are not too many powerful alien races, and even if there are, they are all driven to the most remote corners.

For example, the low-level gnolls of the Naryn Desert.

Or the orcs of the wilderness of the western wastelands, and the unsociable barbarians.

Even if there is a dwarven kingdom, it is still in the extreme south, and it is said that it will take a desert of no one to reach it eventually, which is why the salt from the dwarven kingdom is so expensive.

If there is no obstacle and no danger, it will take half a year to go back and forth normally.

If you encounter an orc or other alien race.

It could drag on for up to a year.

Kant was in no hurry.

His salt trade can go from the Lion Duchy to the Silverpan Kingdom in a month, or directly back and forth.

As long as there is goods, there is no need to worry about sales, and now the human countries, such as the merchant ships on the Resniston River, have begun to purchase salt in large quantities, completely knowing that the Lion Principality has found a new salt mine.

This kind of thing is a lucrative business, even if the domestic merchants resell it, they are all sitting and collecting money.

Kant and they arrived at the port of the eastern county town.

Crowds.

Horse-drawn carriages full of goods were everywhere.

Even the ground of the harbor is neatly cut and paved with stones, and they are all top-notch stone roads, just like the level of ancient passages, so that the carriages carrying goods can go quickly.

Among them were a number of merchants dressed in rich clothes, accompanied by strong guards.

Looking at the style of the clothes, it doesn't look like a merchant in the Lion Principality.

"It's a nice place."

Rolf licked his tongue with a little covetousness.

"Calm down." Kant glanced at him.

As a lord, he knew the careful thinking of his powerful general, and after thinking about it, he ordered: "Find a place to wait for a while, so many troops will not enter the port, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"Understood." Rolf nodded immediately.

He understands that.

With so many cavalry entering the port, it would be troublesome if something went wrong.

It's still a relatively crowded port space, even if there is a provocation, you can't use it on a war horse.

When the time comes, even if a petty thief comes over and steals their things in chaos, there is no way to enter the narrow lanes in the port to pursue, and even if he does, he will not be able to kill people directly like in war.

All in all, there were many restrictions on the cavalry after entering the city, and they did not need or want to go in.

But Rolf still understood the meaning.

Slightly hesitant, he still asked: "Lord Kant, don't you plan to go in by yourself again, according to my understanding, Dongjun City is not peaceful, and it is estimated that your identity has also been exposed, and it is easy to have accidents." ”

"Come and follow me with 5 lion knights."

Kant was calm: "It won't happen." ”

"Five..."Rolf hesitated even more, looked at the more than 5-meter-high city wall in front of him, and dissuaded: "Lord Kant, bring 5 more, you can handle things when you encounter them." ”

"That's it." Kant decided.

These 10 lion knights.

That's 10 great knights.

Not to mention the port of the eastern county city, even the entire eastern county territory is rampant.

Let's just say that the current supreme nobleman of the Eastern County Domain, Countess Aijiasha, can take out 10 big knights under his hands or two, the biggest possibility, it is estimated that there are less than 5, and they are still novices.

It is not easy to train a great knight, and it requires a strict inheritance.

For example, Kant was able to mass-produce great knights with a little special means, which is simply appalling.

This is also the advantage that Goldfinger brings.

After all, behind Kant is the backing of countless riding and slashing worlds.

In this real world, there is no way to soften big knights, but in the world of riding and slashing, in the world of high magic, it is still very simple to manufacture magic knights with magic power in batches, and in this world, it is a big knight.

Without dwelling too much on the issue, they soon found the right place.

An entertainment area outside the walls of the port.

That's right.

Here it is.

This walled area has five streets full of bars, restaurants and inns.

It's late afternoon, the streets are brightly lit, countless pedestrians are running lazily, and the air can smell an intoxicating sweetness, which is the steam from the dessert bakery.

And, of course, the intoxicating smell of wine in bars and restaurants.

and hostesses in naked costumes.

Entertainment paradise.

This is where the port indulges.

Many of the mercenaries walked in groups of three or five, with weapons on their bodies, and the others were not afraid at all, only the elite pikemen wearing the finest chain mail, who occasionally walked through the streets, swept by with a threatening gaze.

Here chaos and indulgence are everything, and even order is weakened to a minimum.

The world of the strong and the rich.

No way.

The port is busy.

The merchants and guards who came here from far away also needed alcohol and women to relieve the pressure of long-term boat rides, and it was easier to lose themselves in this flowery world.

Kant didn't like the environment, but Rolf and the elite cavalry behind him whistled with joy.

It's like life in the stolen caverns of the Salander Desert.

"Find a few hotels."

Kant gave the order.

Glancing at the group of bandits who saw the women agitated, he said in a deep voice: "You are not allowed to go to the bar, you are not allowed to drink, take care of your wallets and horses, as well as weapons and equipment, I don't want to find nothing tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!" When the bandits heard this, they immediately replied with a little helplessness.

"Understood."

Rolf nodded helplessly.

However, I still went to the front to find a hotel, close to 600 people, and I needed a lot of rooms, and it was estimated that I could charter 5 hotels, and as the second-level commander of the team this time, he also had to manage financial expenditures.
