Chapter 396. Arrive at the capital of East County
The next day, at dawn.
The village of Nari was still quiet, and the villagers were all cowering inside the village, waiting with desperate faces.
The elite desert bandits outside had withdrawn, but these people were still terrified, but after a night of waiting, this fear finally disappeared a lot, turning into despair suffocation, and a downbeat for life and death.
The old village chief, with an abnormally ruddy face, still sat at the dining table of his house, enjoying the food.
The family was neatly dressed in their finest clothes.
As a matter of fact.
This is true throughout the village of Nari.
They knew that they had encountered a terrifying enemy that was difficult to hostile this time, and it was useless to run away.
It is better to enjoy it, so as not to see the gods of their respective beliefs after death, and cry that they are hungry, and at least eat and drink the best ingredients, and enjoy the hard-won peace now.
In the sky outside the village, the occasional sound of birdsong sounds.
Countless birds are flapping their wings.
Look out the window.
There were a lot of scavenging birds, and the black crows were quacking, which added to the desperation.
As expected, the farmland outside the village has long been a paradise for scavengers, enjoying this breakfast to the fullest, just like them, enjoying the feast.
But as time passed, the sun had fully risen, and the expected carnage had not come.
Even outside the streets, the cavalry, which had been patrolling from time to time, had disappeared.
"Village Chief!"
At this time, the sheriff and the treasurer suddenly broke in.
With uncontrollable surprise on his face, ignoring the village chief's family who were still eating breakfast in tears, he said quickly: "They are gone, they are leaving, is it Baron Kant, he really let us go!" ”
"What... What..."
The village chief looked up in surprise.
Together with his son and daughter-in-law beside him, as well as his grandchildren who were just seven or eight years old, their faces showed surprise.
The ending that they thought they would die ended peacefully like this, which really surprised them, especially when they thought of the reputation of benevolence left by Baron Kant, which made them cry with excitement.
"Thank you, Baron Kant!"
They kept whispering as if they were praying.
No one disagrees with this statement.
They all understood that tonight's fierce battle was provoked by themselves.
When they were waiting for death at night, they all thought a lot, including mutual accusations in the early stage, despair in the middle stage, and downplaying life and death in the later stage, saying goodbye to each other, and they all had a certain psychological preparation.
Now that I find that I can survive, under the joy and sorrow, my emotions have become extremely strange and excited.
And for Kant, his heart is also full of gratitude.
Stockholm syndrome.
This group of villagers, even the families who died as militiamen, are extremely grateful.
I thought I was going to be slaughtered, but I survived, and this Stockholm syndrome was magnified countless times, making everyone feel ashamed and regretful for their attempts to attack Kant.
But how these villagers are is nothing to Kant.
He had already taken people out of the village of Nari.
The makeshift camp had completely disappeared from the grain drying grounds, and they continued to penetrate into the East County Territory.
Instead of following the predetermined plan to Death Mountain, he bypassed that place and traveled from elsewhere to the East County City, eventually reaching the banks of the Resneston River, looking for a gap in the ancient passage, and then returning to his sphere of influence.
That is, the city of "Aaron" located in the Sanwaya Mountains!
That's how the current itinerary is arranged.
But not necessarily.
Among them, there is also a caravan heading to the Borg to see how his dark chess player is doing.
At the same time, it is also necessary to contact the water thieves of the Rythniston River, after all, there is still the existence of Princess Sophia's old department, and mastering this bandit-like water army will also help Kant control the river.
Although there were hiccups at Avilés Fort and Death Hill, it did not affect the general planning.
It's just that the details need to be handled carefully.
At least Kant's identity has been exposed, so be cautious in your itinerary planning.
If you are entangled by the demon-worshipping madmen of the Scarlet Sect, and you are chased and killed by the Countess Agasa, who has a very bad relationship, it will be really troublesome, and you have to give up too much and leave through the mouth of the Resneston River as soon as possible.
You also have to endure the danger that this secret passage could be exposed at any time.
After all, this is the main road that leads directly to the northern side of the Sanwaya Mountains.
But Kant wasn't worried.
What if it is exposed, the troops of the Rhodok Kingdom are invincible in infantry tactics when they are engaged.
Armed with axe-like broadswords, they wore the strongest chain mail, and they held a heavy shield that could cover most of their bodies, and they were land tanks, and there were no troops in the narrow ancient passages that were no match for them.
Siege weapons such as bed crossbows and ballistas could only be used to defeat the phalanx of heavy warriors.
To know.
On a frontal battlefield.
Even the Svadia knights, who were the strongest in heavy cavalry, did not dare to charge at will in front of the phalanx formed by the Rhodok sergeants.
Not to mention that in the phalanx, there must be Rhodok sniper shooters with siege crossbows and the ability to kill people from 500 meters apart, even if there are bed crossbows or ballistas, you have to worry about whether these sniper crossbowmen will snipe the operators one by one.
In terms of head-on confrontation, the Rhodok people are not afraid of anyone!
This is, of course, the worst outcome.
Kant glanced at Bertreum next to him.
This is the guide he currently hires, and after he goes to Dongjun Town, he is also his own microphone.
In the future, Kant will deal with some problems for him on the surface, and he can be regarded as holding Bertreme hostage and making him surrender at his feet.
Kant was also confident that he did not value Bertlem's loyalty.
The key is whether it can be used.
It works.
That is talent, and Kant is benevolent enough to give whatever reward he can.
If you can't use it, and you will secretly stumble on Kant, then there is nothing to say, just send someone to kill it in the end.
Kant, who has high-end extraordinary powers, may find it difficult to assassinate dignitaries, but assassinating this little knight is really not too simple, and it can also give those new guys with bad intentions a little deterrent.
Kant didn't care about the material things in this world.
Therefore, silver coins and financial roads can be let go.
Even the region.
Only the riding and slashing world is his reliance, and this world is equal to a colony except for his system villages.
He doesn't care about whoever manages the colony, and he doesn't care about whoever is powerful in the colony, but whoever makes him feel bad and moves his fundamental interests, security, is his enemy.
If he could live comfortably, Kant could cower in the Narun Desert.
But many people in this world don't let him live comfortably.
Then you can only kill!
Leaving the village of Nari, Kant led his troops directly to the East County Territory.
Along the way, with Bertlum as a guide, he walked quickly and did not meet anyone.
Even if they encounter caravans occasionally, they pass by calmly, without greeting each other, and it is precisely for this reason that the journey is safe and sound.
Soon bypassed the Death Penalty Mountain, and the road was smoother.
No one stands in the way.
After all, it will take 3-5 days for the news to spread.
This was enough time for Kant to travel to the East County, find Borg, disguise himself, and eventually disappear into the numerous merchant ships of the Resniston River under the cover of the caravan.
Compared with Kant's arrival in the Eastern Counties, Viscount Gibran's transformation into a demon is more eye-catching.
He is the famous general of the Lion Principality.
The pillar of the East Commandery.
Now, when I met Kant, I revealed my identity.
The blow to the Eastern County Territory will be the greatest, not to mention the Countess of Agasa, even the Lion Grand Duke Cameron, and those top nobles, will be strangled to Gibran.
It's the most evil creature in mythology and legend!
There can be no mercy.
It will definitely involve even the Temple of the God of War.
As the state religion of the Duchy of Lion and the patron deity, Aemond, the god of war, belongs to the god of justice.
Although in mythology, he is in charge of war, but he is also absolutely merciless to evil, and in many mythological stories, the god of war Aemond smashes the evil god of destruction and leads troops to save the world.
Now that he has encountered the real evil, the demon corrupted by the power of the abyss, he must lead by example.
Even in the pursuit of a more righteous kingdom of the silver plate.
That Holy See of Light.
If you hear about it, you will send a pastor directly.
No sect of the gods can remain indifferent to this evil.
There are demonic creatures in this world, and scholars have studied and agreed that this is the animal corrupted by the power of the abyss, represented by the strong and fierce lion, the cunning and maneuvering wolf, and the black bear with rough skin and thick flesh.
That's scary enough.
Now that intelligent humans have appeared, nature is even more threatening!
For Kant to infiltrate the East County Territory, especially with 30 Great Knights as hole cards.
Those aristocrats who are not enough to directly and rashly tear their faces with Kant will definitely not act rashly, although it is impossible to take the initiative to befriend, but it is also very possible to help secretly, or ignore it.
Even if some nobles are dizzy and want to test Kant's strength, it doesn't really matter.
Kant's troops were not vegetarians.
Even light cavalry.
But 30 large knights, 50 knights, 500 light cavalry, enough to inflict heavy damage on any enemy troops.
After all, there are high-end extraordinary troops, just like 30 modern advanced tanks, with 50 heavy tanks and 500 light tanks, to destroy inferior troops that have no advanced tanks, only a few heavy tanks and most infantry.
In other words, those nobles are not stupid, they correspond to each other, and they understand that they are in decline.
Even the strength of Viscount Gibran was lost.
How much more are they!
Thus, Kant went all the way with very little trouble.
Finally, on the evening of the third day, the walls of the East Commander came into view, appearing on the distant horizon.
