Chapter 383. Gibran of the East County Territory
The Eastern Territory is located on the western side of the Lion Principality, just adjacent to the Northern and Southern Counties.
The Sanwaya Mountains are the Naryn Desert, but due to the slightly lower terrain and the regular cold air mixed with snowflakes, the climate is excellent, and the level of agriculture is close to that of the southern county, and it was once an important grain producing area of the principality.
In terms of topography, it is like the Lion Mountains separating the northern and southern counties.
There is also a death penalty mountain in the eastern county to draw the east-west boundary.
It just so happens that to the west of the Lion Mountain Range is the Death Mountain, or it is not an exaggeration to call it the remnant vein of the Lion Mountain Range, and in the middle is the nail of the Southern County Leader in the North County Territory, that is, the Viscount Kevin's Masburg.
Masburg is equal to the center of the three counties, strategically strong, and has a higher status than the Solid Stone Pass.
Take control of Musburg.
It is equivalent to controlling and guarding the northern county, holding the eastern county, and assisting in the southern county.
A battleground for the entire Lion Principality!
But now Masburg has lost its former strictness, although it is still forbidden to ordinary people, but the surrounding territory has become a paradise for bandits and bandits.
Even if there were no large-scale massacres and armed clashes, the caravans still suffered heavy losses.
At this time.
There are almost a dozen bandit groups with various backgrounds.
There are also mercenaries on the surface, hired by the lord of Masburg and Viscount Kevin, to help garrison the castle to fight crime, but in fact, it tacitly shows that the two are not helping each other.
As long as the bandits don't attack Masburg, then Viscount Kevin will be invisible.
It's weird.
But rightly.
Just half a month before, Rolf had gone with his 500 desert bandits to investigate.
However, instead of being expelled by the lord, he was attacked by a gang of bandits, fought several insidious counterattacks, and only after completely annihilating and defeating several large bandit forces did he gain a firm foothold.
Masburg has lost the authority it once held onto.
Or rather...
Some nobles from the top are acquiescing.
I don't want the salt trade, which originated from Kant, to explode in a short period of time.
If it weren't for what those top nobles were still planning, it was estimated that those nobles had already compromised with each other and were about to prepare to start scraping Kant's Narun Desert and gaining more benefits.
The current salt trade has entered the Kingdom of Silverplate.
It also goes farther and farther down the Rythniston River.
Thanks to the fact that the salt of the dwarven kingdom is extremely far away, the salt of Kant, which can be supplied quickly and in large quantities, has completely seized the market of the Duchy of Lion, and along this river, it continues to encroach on the salt market of other human countries.
Any caravan that traded salt had already made a fortune.
The nobles behind him were full of fat.
But thinking about the salt mines in the Narun Desert, the nobles who have already tasted the sweetness, and the top nobles who can seize the strength, have already had a tacit understanding.
In just half a month, they began to connect with each other, and with the convenience of the combined army, they began to integrate.
The integration continues.
After all, they have to elect a new leader of the troops.
There can't be anyone from the royal family involved, because the salt mine they are about to seize this time, if according to the rules, the owner Kant dies, then it will be the royal family who will take over.
Because Kant is the blood of the royal family, the second son of Grand Duke Cameron, the lion of the royal family.
It's just weird.
The royal family did not stop the spontaneous actions of the nobles.
There was no news coming out of the Lion's Castle, and no orders were issued, as if nothing was known!
This is worth playing, and those nobles who have been connected in series have also started to combine coalition forces with great interest, just like they did when they blocked the invasion of the Silver Plate Kingdom, and gradually united to form a huge military force.
Although it is slightly bloated, it is like a heavy fat man, and it is also full of intimidation.
None of this has yet been detected by Kant.
Because at this time, he was riding a horse and galloping on the plain.
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The sound of horses' hooves.
Kant rode his horse in front, behind him were 30 Saarion lion knights and 50 Saarion lion squires, energetic guards on the side, very majestic and majestic, no less than the elite knights in the royal family.
Even the 500 elite desert bandits who followed in the rear had their own might.
Heavy scimitar at the waist.
6 short javelins on the back are neatly stacked.
The cold light of the spear in his hand shimmered, and it was like a torrent, rushing through it rapidly.
Kant led the team to the East County Territory, and after 3 days of galloping, they had already trekked west from the Jianshi Pass to the predetermined location, which is the most famous landmark of the East County Territory, the Death Penalty Mountain.
It is just southwest of the Solid Stone Pass.
After the death penalty mountain, it is the Dongjun Territory that has been closed in comparison.
The noble territories along the way are all closed, except for the troops within the eastern county territory can be stationed and approached, and others will be treated as enemies if they approach rashly.
While there are certainly unspoken rules and the like, merchants know about it very well.
It's just that Kant can't.
Therefore, instead of going directly to the west, following the remnants of the Sanwaya Mountains on the north side of the Territory to enter the Eastern Commandery, he trekked towards the Death Mountain, making a detour to that side, so as to enter the center of the Eastern Territory as soon as possible.
Over the Death Penalty Mountain, which is the core area of the Eastern County Territory.
A piece of fertile ground near the Rythniston River.
The frost brought by the cold air meets the scorching breath of the Narun Desert, so the abundant groundwater has long been established, and the construction of irrigation projects is well organized, and it is said that after ten years of development, the agriculture of the Eastern Commandery is not weaker than that of the Southern Commandery.
If it weren't for the fact that the commercial atmosphere of the Southern County Territory was also strong, I am afraid that the Eastern County Territory would overpower half of this royal direct territory!
Exactly how that is more ambiguous.
Although the Eastern Commandery does not prohibit merchants from entering.
In other words, as long as you don't enter as an official of the Southern County Leader, it's basically fine.
But for some spies with ulterior motives who went to Dongjun to get information, they would also be arrested, and they would be crushed to the Death Penalty Mountain along with any misconspiracy, and their heads would be chopped off by the executioners on the Death Penalty Mountain.
Hence the name of the Death Penalty Mountain.
Just ten years ago, the Countess of Agatha had ordered the execution of all three viscounts' families.
Nearly 1,000 people were executed together, the only time the Duchy of Lion was founded, which caused turmoil in almost the entire country, which was one of the reasons for the closure of the Eastern Commandery.
And until now, there is only one viscount in the rich eastern county territory, and a few barons who guard various places.
But in terms of strength, it is still stronger than the North County Leader.
You can see it from the village.
"Very rich."
Rolf was a little moved by this.
They had just left a village in the Eastern Counties, and after buying all the necessary supplies for the trek with a small silver coin, they chose to leave under the wary eyes of the sheriff and the local vigilante militia.
Some coarse bread mixed with wheat bran, plus some bacon.
And the water in the water bladder.
"Anfendian, this is not the Northern County Commander."
Kant slowed down slightly.
Looking at the flat terrain in front of him, where the farmland was divided by irrigation canals, he couldn't help but nod and said, "If you talk about agriculture here alone, it is stronger than the most fertile land in the northern county territory." ”
"Northern Commandery, that place is no different from the Salander Sultanate."
Rolf scoffed, "It's deserted." ”
"There are at least two huge oases left in the Salander Sultanate!" Among the elite desert bandits behind him, there was an unruly guy who straightened his neck and retorted: "There is no water source in the Northern County Territory that can nourish the earth!" ”
"I know, I know, it's just your words!"
Rolf turned his head and cursed.
However, he still shrugged his shoulders and said to Kant: "My lord, in fact, in my opinion, it doesn't matter if you want the place in the Northern County Territory, just rely on the elite of the desert bandits behind me to run rampant, whether it is military or economic, there is no need to seize it, and I can't see any valuable place." ”
"But the Northern Commandery connects the Southern Commandery with the Eastern Commandery." Kant replied calmly.
"Of course."
Rolf sneered: "Those guys don't dare to provoke us. He hesitated and guessed: "But before I felt that the combined army composed of those nobles seemed to have the intention of making Viscount Wayne the commander." ”
Kant nodded: "Well, I know, you reported." ”
"That means, maybe they're restless."
Rolf shook his head: "We are now entering the East County Territory, if those guys attack the stone pass, it may be a little troublesome, after all, that guy from Fatis is not good at defending the city." ”
"I don't think so."
Kant chuckled.
Looking at this villain nobleman, he said calmly: "I see that you seem to have other ideas, you might as well talk about it, if I think it's okay, then I can adopt your ideas." ”
"My lord, I think you've always been wise."
Rolf was the first to pat himself on the back: "I don't think it's interesting for us to lurk in the East County Territory, it's better to go directly to the hinterland of the North County Territory, that is, near the old guy of Viscount Wayne, and take advantage of the fact that they form a joint army and the rear is empty, give them a hard blow, maybe even Fort Rogge can be captured." ”
"If they close the gates, we won't be able to storm it."
Kant shook his head.
Although the great knight with extraordinary strength is extremely powerful, it can be worth thirty or fifty peak-level knights.
But this is only a strong destructive power, in the face of a rain of arrows will still be injured, encountered by powerful ballistas or catapults fired by stone bullets or spears, will also be killed alive, there is no possibility of survival.
It can be relied on as the tip of a spear in field warfare, but siege warfare is still the world of siege equipment.
"Hmm..."
Rolf shook his head regretfully.
Rather than lurking, he prefers to lead a group of bandits into other people's homes, wantonly plundering and destroying, even if it doesn't cause much success, he can intimidate the enemy, that feeling is great.
He is a complete villain, even if he is a nobleman, and has nothing to do with the so-called gentlemanly manners.
"Ahead is the mountain of death."
Kant rode his horse to speed.
Looking at the mountain peaks raised on the horizon in front of him, his eyes shrank slightly: "After the death penalty mountain, it is the most important city in the Eastern County Territory, and then we can go in and see what is going on here." ”
After a slight pause, Kant frowned and said, "But on the way to the Death Mountain, we will also encounter a castle. ”
Gibran's Avilésburg.
The only viscount of the East County Territory.
That's right, after the Countess of Agatha killed 3 viscounts, only Viscount Gibran remained.
Kant had to admit that the strength of this Viscount Gibran was actually equal to that of an earl, because this 56-year-old old Viscount had shined in the battle with the Silverplate Kingdom ten years ago.
With his own strength, he stubbornly withstood the attack of the 30,000 main forces of the Yinpan Kingdom.
And his army was only 6,000 men.
Of these, 4,000 were armed militias and conscripted farmers.
And the remaining 2,000 main forces were just the defeated troops defeated by the Silver Pan Kingdom on the south bank of the Risnes River, and they were re-trained by this Viscount Gibran for a few days, and then they were once again engaged in a millstone-like battle.
It is precisely because Viscount Gibran has dragged the main force of the Silver Plate Kingdom in the Eastern County Territory.
In the end, the Lion Principality was victorious.
The battle in which Baron Dylan's rise made Archduke Cameron famous and truly stabilized the position of Grand Duke was also successfully won because of Viscount Gibran.
If it weren't for the north bank of the Rythniston River, Viscount Gibran would have fought to the death.
It is estimated that the lion principality has been conquered.
Even Grand Duke Cameron, the lion, will be captured at this time.
Maybe because he belongs to the husband of Princess Sophia, he can avoid execution and maintain his gorgeous aristocratic status, but the real power will disappear forever, and it can't be compared with the current Grand Duke status of the Lion Principality!
"Viscount Gibran."
Rolf's tone was also a little solemn: "I have heard of this viscount's reputation in many bandit gangs, or those mercenary groups, a very powerful guy. ”
"Well, it's a famous general." Kant nodded.
"Right ahead."
Rolf snorted coldly, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Avilésburg, it is said that inside, there is a hidden real elite army of the East County Commander, and it is this old guy who supports Countess Agasa, so that she can gain a firm foothold in the East County Territory." ”
After a slight pause, he looked at Kant: "Or, your father, the Grand Duke Cameron, is really afraid of him." ”
"That's right."
Kant was not the slightest bit angry.
Relatives in this world are more like passers-by to him.
The royal family has no family affection, not to mention that Kant still has memories of his previous life, and for the relatives in this world, the so-called emotions are only feelings that he wants to deal with after a long time.
And this kind of feeling, because of the open and secret struggle between the royal family, has become a little sour.
Kant didn't like it very much.
"Let's take a look."
Knock the horse's belly lightly.
Immanuel Kant continued to move forward: "I would like to meet this famous player. ”
