The midday sun is blazing.

The temperature in the Narun Desert suddenly rose to a terrifying level like an oven.

Walking under such a terrible scorching sun will lead to heat stroke and dehydration in just ten minutes, and if you don't want to die, it's best to find a tent on the back of a sand dune to escape the midday heat.

Kant also did not leave, and enjoyed the comfortable lunch he deserved in the inn.

Just got a big Golden Eagle in the morning.

When you return to the castle of "Drehem", you can exchange it for 268,000 dinars at any time.

The loan of King Yaroglk was paid off, and most of it was left as a surplus.

Plundering the world's gold as a material is much faster than the slave trade and production trade, and if Kant could have discovered this way to earn dinars earlier, he would definitely have to scratch his head and open up the trade route to the Lion Duchy.

But it's not a success yet.

Trade is a grass-roots creation that needs to be carefully maintained to get the most returns.

The merchants of the Duchy of Lion need Kant's salt, and Kant needs the Golden Eagle of the Duchy of Lion, even if they exchange 150 large silver coins on the black market for 1 Golden Eagle, they accept it and take the initiative to make a profit.

In order to ensure that the next trade is settled with the Golden Eagle.

After all, Kant's system only needs gold.

For example, the demand for silver is not high, or it is not collected at all.

As long as Kant can obtain a large number of golden eagles, it is equivalent to obtaining a large number of dinars, obtaining opportunities for development, and gaining a strong future, which is beneficial and harmless.

With the system, with the dinar, his development is changing like a day!

This is just the beginning.

Eat at noon and escape the scorching sun.

Kant took this opportunity to take a lunch break.

100 Swadian knights are still on guard, they didn't play in the previous battle, and now they still have the strength to spare.

After all, although the merchants were coerced to the top of the post station, the guards and servants of these caravans were still there, and the scale of hundreds of people, if it really made a fuss, it would be a big trouble, and these knights needed to be strictly guarded.

Who knows if there are ambush troops inside, whether they have ghosts in their hearts.

Thankfully, there was no chaos.

Rolf also led the Salanders to an easy defeat and victory.

And 120 Salander riders and 220 desert bandits gained the experience of this victory in full, especially the defeat of the enemy army in such a devastating way, which was enough for the desert bandits to level up.

The Desert Bandit upgrade costs 20 dinars, for a total of 4,400 dinars.

Kant was naturally not stingy.

With the confirmation, all 220 desert bandits have been upgraded to the elite desert bandits.

Wearing more sophisticated iron-inlaid armor, the number of short javelins on the back has also been increased to six, and the heavy ones are more lethal.

The current desert bandit elite is indeed the word elite, and they are fully qualified to cooperate with the Salander riders to charge, and it is estimated that the 600 knight squires will attack again, and the consequences will be even more miserable.

After the rain of javelins, it will not be the back of the desert bandit elite fleeing.

Instead, with the charge of the Salander riders, the elite bandits who rushed in with spears and scimitars on both sides and slashed at each other!

But thinking of these knightly squires, Kant couldn't help but squint.

Walk out of the room again.

When I went to the hall on the first floor, I found Rolf sitting on a chair.

Next to them were 30 Salander riders, holding their spears and sword hilts majestically, looking coldly at the 10 captives kneeling in front of them, silent, but full of momentum.

Looking at the miserable appearance of these 10 captives with bruised cheeks and bloody mouths, you can see that this is an interrogation.

And it's over.

After getting the information he wanted, Rolf waved his hand: "Take them back!" ”

"Yes!"

The Salander rider nodded, walked over and picked up the 10 captives, and walked towards the outside of the inn.

There are many tents outside for these captives, and next to them are the tents of the Swadian knights, as long as they dare to make the slightest move, they who have been restrained in their weapons and armor are estimated to be slaughtered in an instant.

The captives had also been appointed, and they did not dare to resist in the slightest.

The previous charge from Rolf directly killed this group of knight squires, and they were terrified!

Kant did not care about this group of captives.

Sitting in his place, he asked Rolf, "Where did these guys come from?" ”

"Hmm."

Rolf was in a slight tone.

"Say it." Kant frowned and said, "Do you have any hesitation?" ”

"Yes, indeed." Rolf smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders at Kant and said, "These guys are called the Tempest Mercenary Regiment, which is a mercenary group that runs rampant in the North and South Counties of the Lion Principality, and occasionally penetrates into the East County, which is said to be quite famous. ”

"Yes, they are famous."

Kant nodded.

This mercenary group has suddenly appeared in recent years and has done several major crimes.

For example, helping some nobles kill some enemies, or invading the families of some minor nobles to massacre, although they are not wanted by the noble court, everyone in the Lion Duchy knows that it was the people of this tempest mercenary group who did it.

But who in the Lion Principality doesn't know that this Tempest Mercenary Group is a wild dog raised by high-ranking nobles.

Therefore, he was not wanted by the noble court.

If it is an ordinary bandit gang, whether it can capture the family of the minor nobles is another matter, as long as they do this kind of thing that touches the bottom line of the nobles, it is estimated that they will be wanted by the noble court long ago, so that those large and small nobles will be able to transfer manpower, even if they grit their teeth, they will have to fight this uncontrolled bandit gang.

How can it be regarded as a loyal dog of the nobles like the reputation that has been circulated in recent years, and the executioner who trembles and fears those who offend the small nobles of the high-ranking nobles.

However, Kant frowned: "These guys seem to be the Tempest Mercenary Regiment." ”

"Uh-huh."

Rolf shrugged, the situation didn't need to be said.

Kant understood.

This is the aristocracy, and they have begun to target him!

The reputation of the Tempest Mercenary Group is very loud, and basically any of the minor nobles who are dealt with by them will hardly be able to stay alive, plus they have never been caught, so their reputation alone is enough to intimidate many people.

The Nalen Desert that is now appearing in Kant is entirely for the purpose of slaughtering the sentry oasis.

I just want to kill Kant!

He gritted his teeth slightly, squinted his eyes and said, "Who is the mastermind behind it, do you know?" ”

"Their mouths are hard."

Rolf shrugged.

"Didn't ask?" Kant frowned.

"No, I did." Rolf shrugged his shoulders and said in a normal way: "I picked 30 people, and after killing 20, the remaining 10 guys told me everything they knew." ”

"Well done." Kant nodded.

Rolf continued, "It's Baron Dylan. ”

Kant was stunned.

After a moment's pause, he turned his head and smiled in disbelief: "You mean Baron Dylan from the Solid Stone Pass?" ”

"That's right." Rolf nodded.

"Then I don't believe it."

Kant shook his head with a smile, but there was not the slightest smile in his eyes: "Those captives didn't tell you the truth. ”

He knows Baron Dylan's background very well.

Although he once had to disguise himself, he and this Uncle Dylan compromised.

But in fact, this baron of the solid stone pass is equivalent to a dispensable martial aristocrat in the Duchy of Lion, and he is a marginalized guy, as can be seen when he marries the daughter of a merchant, and is not accepted by the mainstream aristocratic circle at all.

As long as you have the ability and are a bit of a nobleman in the background, the object of marriage is definitely the daughter of a noble family.

The merchant class is really half a layer higher than the commoners!

In the eyes of the aristocracy.

Merchants and landlords, although they have the title of gentlemen, are no different from commoners.

And marrying the daughter of a non-nobleman is a manifestation of self-depravity.

If Baron Dylan had the ability to train 600 knightly squires, how could he be so resentful, ostracized by the mainstream aristocratic circles, and become a miserable marginal nobleman?

This is obviously impossible, just think about it with your brain, you know, there is definitely something greasy in it!

"Something is really wrong."

Rolf nodded, his tone a little strange: "So I whipped the captives on the cheeks with my scabbard. ”

"I see it." Kant nodded.

As soon as they descended the stairs, the captives' cheeks were bruised and swollen, and there was blood at the corners of their mouths.

Although the face could be seen in front of him, he was definitely struck by a heavy object.

Kant frowned even more and said, "Who the hell is that!" ”

He was unhappy with Rolf's sloppy and somewhat procrastinating approach.

"Yes..."

Rolf's face was even more weird, and after thinking about it, he still said to Kant: "After torture, the backstage of these guys is the Countess of Agatha from the Eastern County Territory, uh, Lord Kant, I think you should know this countess who is famous for her cruelty and blood, because she... uh..."

"That's right, she's my aunt, the closest aunt by blood." Kant narrowed his eyes and took over what Rolf had not said, but his tone was indifferent: "Heh, auntie. ”

The royal family has no family affection, how can there be any aunt.

What's more, Kant has not had a good relationship with this aunt since he was a child.

The most important thing is that this aunt has had a falling out with his father, Grand Duke Cameron, since 10 years ago, and for this reason, she also changed the Winter County Territory to the East County Territory, in order to be angry with the names of the South County and the North County.

Even the exchanges between the two sides, such as those of the top nobility, were almost at a standstill.

At least until Kant came to the Naren Desert, he did not know that there was any sign of reconciliation between the two sides.

"Still."

Kant squinted, with solemnity in his eyes: "Why did she send troops over?" ”

"I don't know." Rolf shook his head.

If it's business, then it's good to send a caravan.

Sending troops directly, or the notorious and infamous Tempest Mercenary Group, it is not to have any intention of reconciliation, but to the point of tearing your face naked and settling grievances with the most direct war method of the nobles!

Kant didn't think that he and this Aunt Agatha, who was an earl, had reached such a point of undying.

But no matter what, the war did start.

Since the Eastern Commander sent troops, Kant would certainly not lick his face to accept the so-called favor.

His strength is enough to protect himself! 10
