Chapter 100. Secrets of the Greymane Kingdom
Kant's voice was calm.
With a faint smile on his face, he looks immature like a human teenager.
In fact, on the face of it, it is.
But as a high-level jackal with wisdom, Assechi looked at the 16-year-old human nobleman in front of him, and his heart couldn't help beating a little faster, which was a palpitation from fear.
It sensed that the true combat power of this human teenager was extremely poor, and even the young gnoll man could not compare.
Can be swept aside.
Guards in heavy iron armor were waiting, their right hands resting on the hilt of their long swords at their waists.
Although compared to the previous mace, this kind of long sword may not be able to lift the skull, but the cold light that instantly slashes through the neck can completely make the head fall freely, and then touch the ground intimately.
"Yes, honorable young master of human nobility."
Assech bowed his head slightly, and in his current form, it had no choice.
It describes everything it knows.
The Mannheim Coast, located in the far north of the Naren Desert, is the coastal area of the Sea of Stars.
Thanks to its proximity to the vast Sea of Stars, the Mannheim coast receives abundant rainfall and abundant water, so the coastal area is densely vegetated and easily protected from desert encroachment and home to countless species.
This fertile coastal land is home to the gnolls.
Over the millennia, these gnolls have absorbed foreign knowledge and formed their own culture.
To distinguish themselves from their fellow citizens in the desert, they call themselves the High Gnolls.
In fact, it is.
The gnolls who have gained wisdom, have been civilized, and have developed their own civilization are indeed different from those gnolls in the Narun Desert who drink blood and hair and are more animalistic than human.
Same origin but different sects, same kind but different families.
The establishment of the Kingdom of Greymane on the western side of the Mannheim coast is the best proof of this.
The wise and civilized High Jackals soon occupied the shores of Mannheim with the equally civilized Lizardmen, each establishing their own racial kingdom and dividing the racial sphere of influence.
It's just that the hesitant lizardmen are good at water, and they are more suitable for life in coastal areas.
even suppressed the Greymane Kingdom for a time.
If it weren't for the fact that in recent years, a large number of elves landed on the coast of Mannheim and formed a republican state like the Elven Council in the eastern barren area, which indirectly relieved the pressure of the lizardmen kingdom on the graymane kingdom, it is estimated that the high-level gnolls have lost the hegemony of the Mannheim coast and can only avoid disaster in the inland desert.
That's why Assechi came here as an explorer and merchant who ventured through the devil's belt of the desert.
The high-ranking gnolls of the Greymane Kingdom also have their own strategic plans.
Of course, they knew that the lizardmen, who were better at naval warfare, and the elvens who were more civilized, were two more terrifying enemies, and that the Greymane Kingdom could not pose a real threat to them, and could only rely on its own thousand years of accumulation and its current size to maintain the current stalemate, but declining situation.
The Mannheim coast was thus peaceful, but it was a stalemate before the outbreak of war.
However, as the lizardmen open up the sea trade line and connect with the open sea trade, the economic development and strength increase are extremely fast.
Although the Elven Council has the smallest number of people, it is also in a safe corner.
However, due to its colonial nature, it can draw troops from the base camp of the Sea Elves at any time, and its strength is also growing rapidly, and it is estimated that it will not take a few years to completely grow into a giant.
The Elven Council on the coast of Mannheim was originally a colony of its elves.
Only the Kingdom of Greymane stood still.
In order to give full play to his advantages in land warfare and his talent for a race that is resistant to heat and cold, he ventured into the Narun Desert to organize various teams to go deep into the Narun Desert, and according to the description of those low-level gnolls 10 years ago, he planned to find the inland human kingdom.
In fact, following the route of the low-level gnolls through the desert, they came here without any problems.
Not only did he really find the news of the human kingdom, but Aseqi also found a natural salt mine as a merchant, and as the news came back, it stimulated the Graymane Kingdom to plan to mobilize troops to open up new territories.
It's just that Assech's fate is tragic.
It was the first to open up the Naren Desert and explore a safe route, but was captured by Kant.
The honor and money that he should have are gone, and Assechi doesn't even know if he will live.
There is human merchant activity on the coast of Mannheim.
In the eyes of the high-level gnolls, although the human transcendents are relatively powerful, the ordinary people are extremely weak, and the adult race cannot even defeat the thin gnolls, which is the confidence that they dare to carry out their aggressive plans.
On the frontal battlefield, the gnoll warriors in heavy armor did not even dare to resist the lizards and elves head-on.
Not to mention mediocre and weak human beings.
………………
Assechi slowly shut up and spoke for a long time, leaving his mouth slightly dry.
That's all it knows.
"Well, that's good." Kant nodded, still with a smile on his face.
But Aseqi's eyes swept the corners of his upturned mouth, and he was a little flustered in his heart, this kind of aristocratic symbolic smile could not represent Kant's mood at all, and could be regarded as a muscle pulling exercise.
This made it even more panicked.
Swallowing and foaming, it swallowed the fear in its heart and said, "I hope you can give me the opportunity to prove my worth." ”
"Huh?" Kant was still thinking.
After all, what Assechi said was very informative, which was equivalent to bringing him information about the new world.
But hearing this, Kant smiled and asked directly: "What value can you bring to me?" ”
"Boom."
Assechi swallowed and spit, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, and said eagerly: "I am different from those low-level gnolls in the desert, I can take refuge in you, help you find out the information of the Greymane Kingdom, and be a middleman, I can buy you what you lack, the business on the coast of Mannheim is very developed, and there is no shortage of anything at all." ”
"That's right."
Kant's brow was slightly raised, showing great interest.
Assechi's eyes lit up with joy.
And in his heart, he was cheering, as a businessman, of course he knew how to deceive the other party, especially the young master of such a young human nobleman, who may have great power, but in terms of judgment, he is obviously not good.
As long as he can get out of here, Assechi vows that he will let the troops of the Greymane Kingdom set foot here!
This is the place that robbed it of its wealth and future, and imprisoned it for so many days, and the hatred in my heart is simply unwashable.
Showing such obedience, it is not for this moment.
Resentment deepened in Aseqi's eyes, and the smile on its face became more sincere, for all it was thinking about was how to torture these damned humans and let them know the horrors of the High Gnolls!
"Well, that's the case."
Kant smiled and turned his head to look to the left and right.
It was Fatis and Manid, his current generals and caravan leaders, and his current generals and thinkers, who shrugged their shoulders slightly and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"Not bad." Fatis frowned and nodded.
"Good." Manid smiled, looking particularly optimistic.
Kant raised his eyebrows, nodded, and said, "That's good." ”
Both of them replied in the affirmative, and although they were worried, they at least agreed.
"Thank you so much."
Assechi had lost his previous fears and seemed particularly excited.
It thinks it's safe.
Kant didn't explain anything, but tapped lightly on the table, and said in a calm tone: "The coast of Mannheim, the kingdom of Greymane, the high gnolls, the complete civilized civilization." ”
Assech looked at him with some puzzlement.
Kant nodded and smiled, "Very good." ”
"Of course, of course."
Assechi was still laughing, but he was cursing the damn human boy fiercely in his heart.
When he knelt in front of it later, Assech also locked Kant in the basement and let him taste the taste before throwing it in the pot to cook it, and he did not shy away from eating the flesh of other races.
"Pull it out and dispose of it."
Kant looked at the smile on his face, shook his head and smiled, and casually commanded.
"Yes." The Svadia infantry, who had already been prepared, stepped forward directly, grabbed Assechi, who was still at a loss, and walked towards the door of the hall as if dragging it.
"Wait, wait."
Assechi's eyes were full of panic at this time: "My lord, respected human lord, what's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
It doesn't know at all now, just now there was a joke and a good talk about Kant, why did he just let the guards pull it out, and look at this casual appearance, it is simply going to kill it!
But Kant did not answer it.
The answer to it was a well-made thick fan shield.
The Swadia infantry fiercely raised the shield in his left hand, and slammed it on Assechi's cheek with the standard shield technique of wartime, and the sudden force shook its head, making it suddenly dizzy, and with the blood splashing from its mouth and nose, it could not say anything.
Then he was chained out of the hall and out the door.
"Woooooo uh..."
The faint sound of a sword slashing penetrated through the wooden door.
The Svadian infantry re-entered, their linen robes and scabbards strewn with bright red blood.
"Solved." He opened his mouth to report.
"Well, well done." Kant nodded, his face still calm.
Just turning his head to look at Fatis and Manid, he said in a deep voice: "Since we are sure to compete with the Graymane Kingdom, then we have to act as soon as possible, I don't want to be stabbed in the back by those nobles of the Lion Principality when facing the Graymane Kingdom, which will make us doomed." ”
"My lord, it's easy."
Manid chuckled, "They won't know the news of the Greymane Kingdom. ”
"I will do everything I can to keep all the expeditionary forces of the Greymane Kingdom in the desert." Fatis added dignifiedly.
"Okay." Kant nodded, clenched his fists slightly, and said: "Since the Lion Principality is currently like an iron plate, we can't penetrate into it, but we can develop towards the coast of Mannheim, after all, this place is not just the territory of the high-level gnolls." ”
