The eastern county town covers a large area, and its status in the Lion Principality is second only to Lionheart.

After all, it is a trading port town on the Resniston River, and although it is not the best riverbed port due to the river, trade thrives thanks to the daily maintenance and excavation of the river.

Similarly, it is also the only city in the Lion Kingdom, and of course it can be regarded as prosperous.

This is true even after being closed.

Kant led the way.

The wide dirt road was built smoothly, as if due to the freezing weather in the eastern county, so the road was not rough and muddy, and even the caravans with horse-drawn carriages did not cause much damage to the road.

At least compared to the rugged dirt roads in the interior of the East County or the North County, the roads near the East County are well built.

At least it's still known about patching up rough sections.

But to say that the road is the best.

It's still the southern county leader.

From the center of the city to the port, the 6-meter-wide paved road can be regarded as the best road in the entire Lion Principality, which is why the city's trade is so developed.

Kant was dismissive of this, building roads is the right thing to do, and it is only bad if roads are not built and infrastructure is not built.

In the past, it was a military need.

But economic needs should also be taken into account.

It is better to rely on a good economy and build a strong force to resist the enemy's attack, or simply use offense instead of defense to put the enemy in danger.

and the worst of all, keep the enemy out of the country, lest the flames of war burn in their own land.

The concept is still too advanced.

Or rather.

The lords, who were still in feudal times, didn't care at all.

Although the sub-sealing system is stable at all levels, it has brought some drawbacks, such as the inability to unify forces in a short period of time, which is the biggest drawback.

Follow the road to the vicinity of the gate of the East Commandery.

Armed militiamen armed with spears are on guard.

However, it does not look like an armed militiaman, wearing iron-studded armor and holding a spear with an iron front covering.

It is more like a truly trained elite pikeman, with an iron-inlaid helmet on his head, and his mental outlook is much better than that of ordinary militiamen, at least in terms of quality.

If you want to enter the East County City, you need to pay 1 small silver coin per person to enter the city, if it is a caravan, you need to pay an additional 10 small silver coins per carriage.

For the economy to develop well, of course, there must be strict rules.

Trade cities are like that.

Kant and the others approached, and the elite pikemen tensed.

Especially looking at the appearance of those who are all wearing leather armor or chain mail, even if they are covered with linen robes, they don't look like good people, if they are simply used as mercenaries, there are too many of them.

These elite pikemen didn't dare to let them into the city at will.

If something really goes wrong.

That's a big deal!

Even on both sides of the city gate, crossbowmen appeared, looking at Kant and them in surprise.

In their opinion, even if it is a mercenary group with a large number of people, it is really amazing that such a cavalry team that can support a small main force has appeared.

Even on the inside of the city gate, a wooden stake fence was specially set up because of the request of the knights guarding the city gate.

Heavy logs are cross-tied.

It was also nailed with sharp spear tips and sharp blades.

If an ordinary person bumps into it, he will definitely be pierced in the abdomen, and he can't die anymore.

This thing is a military tool, which is specially used to defend the city and is responsible for preventing cavalry from attacking the city gate, of course, the purpose is also to prevent Kant and them outside the city gate, for fear of accidents.

Right in the center of the East County City, in the city lord's mansion, is the Countess of Agasa.

The supreme lord of this place.

No offense.

But just when this group of elite pikemen and the knights guarding the city gate were helpless and did not know what to do for this group of cavalry, news came from the rear.

It was the news that the butler from the castle lord's mansion had personally brought in.

"The cavalry is outside?"

The butler was a lean old man, who walked all the way at a high speed, and he was tired and panting.

However, he didn't care about this, but reached out to hold the knight's shoulder, and asked very anxiously, "What is your attitude towards them, and you haven't done anything excessive, have you?" ”

"No, we keep our distance."

The Gatekeeper shrugged.

After a pause, looking at the housekeeper's ugly face, he still muttered: "Just let them wait outside, I didn't dare to let them enter the city directly, after all, you know, these people look like elite troops, in case there is a problem in the city, no one can bear the consequences." ”

"Well, yes, yes, yes." The old housekeeper suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay." ”

"Old butler, why are you so serious?"

The city gate knight also wondered: "Whose backstage is the mercenary team outside?" He said curiously: "Could it be that other big nobles will appear near Dongjun City, this is the first time since the closure." ”

But what answered him was the butler's reprimand: "It's okay, don't ask!" ”

Wave your hand.

Behind them, guards also dressed in fine chain mail came up.

They are all armed with swords and shields, with iron helmets on their heads, and they are clearly the most elite guards in the city lord's mansion, numbering 300 people, who quickly took over the vicinity of the city gate, and also summoned many strong archers to enter the city wall and make a strict guard.

All this was done quietly, even on the city walls, bending down to change the guard.

It seems that he doesn't want the outside to know.

The housekeeper also went out.

With a few casual commands, the knights dispersed the pikemen and blasted away the caravans that were lining up to enter the city.

Then he walked briskly towards Kant and them, with a humble and respectful smile on his face: "Lord Kant, hearing that you have come from afar, it is really a pleasure to hear that you have come from afar, and it is really a pleasure for Count Agatha of our Eastern County Territory. ”

"Oh, yes, Aunt Agatha is very considerate."

Kant smiled.

Sweeping over the city wall, he said pointedly: "Could it be that Dongjun City has been in trouble recently, the current city walls are so serious and serious, and so many troops are deployed. ”

The butler hurriedly wiped the sweat on his face: "It's all a trivial matter, beware of that fallen Gibran." ”

"That's right."

Kant nodded and chuckled: "Indeed, we should be wary. ”

"Yes, yes." The old butler nodded again and again: "Who would have thought that the original famous general of the bloody war, Viscount Gibran, would actually take refuge in the abyss demon, and he would become a demon, which is completely the most serious depravity, and no one can forgive him." ”

"Prepare in advance, I heard that he is in the Death Penalty Mountain."

Kant didn't see where the old butler's anxiety came from.

Instead, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the north: "What else is the dark red sect, it is said that it was founded by the remnants of the Demon Worship Sect who once stirred up the bloody storm, if you want to exterminate it, I think it is the target, by the way, remember to bring more big knights over, ordinary troops, may not pose any threat to Gibran." ”

"Yes, yes."

The old housekeeper didn't dare to say anything more about this matter.

What others don't know, he knows.

Why did Gibran turn into an evil abyssal demon.

Why would the once well-hidden Dark Red Sect be exposed to the Death Mountain.

Why is the entire Dongjun Territory in a strange crisis?

It's not all this Baron Kant!

silently infiltrated the Eastern County Territory, and led the troops to directly kill the elite cavalry attendant team of Viscount Gibran who came to sneak attack, and even forced out the true strength of Viscount Gibran.

Of course, the Countess of Agatha in the East County City was also relieved.

She had just felt that something was wrong.

I didn't expect this to happen.

Kant also eliminated one of the biggest internal pests for her.

If it really develops, based on the description of demons in myths and legends, it is estimated that the entire Dongjun Territory is in a bloody storm, full of killings and corpses, and it is estimated that the population of tens of thousands of people, and in the end, a few thousand are left.

And now, the old butler has received a request from Countess Agasa.

Kant can't be allowed to enter the city!

That's right.

Just can't let Kant and his troops enter the East County City.

No matter what way you use it, you have to stop it because you are weak and at the same time, you are also afraid of accidents.

In the current Dongjun City, even Countess Agatha didn't dare to go out at will, and completely let the guards protect themselves well, in order to be afraid of the people of the Dark Red Sect who might infiltrate in.

Even in order to avoid accidents for himself, even in the eastern county city, he arranged for the hired wandering mages to come in.

It's a pity that the East County Commander doesn't have a temple of the God of War.

If there is.

Countess Agatha would ask the priests of the temple to come over and check if there were any heretics from the Crimson Sect.

After a careful search, not to mention, there are indeed a few servants in the city lord's mansion who are heretics, and after being caught, they still frantically wanted to resist, and they were directly killed by the guards, which can be regarded as a solution to the critical point.

But he lost control over the vast space outside the city lord's residence.

Noble gentlemen large and small.

All kinds of civilians and freemen.

This included foreign merchants and landlords, as well as speculators.

Anyone can be a heretic, but a rash arrest will lead to chaos in the eastern county.

Countess Agasa, who has lost too much high-end combat power and can only maintain self-preservation, is like a frightened bird, almost racking her brains in order to ensure her power.

Prevent Kant from entering the assassination of the pagans of the Dark Red Sect, so as to anger the eastern county city and play the problem.

She also tried her best.

Optimal.

Or directly and euphemistically ask Kant to leave.

The old butler also understood this, took out a small bag in his arms, which seemed to be heavy, and gave it to Kant with both hands, and said very humbly: "Baron Kant, here are 10 golden eagles, I hope you can have a good time in the harbor." ”

"Hmm." Kant took the bag.

Made of fine velvet, the bulging bag is very heavy, and as the arm shakes, the sound of metal rubbing can be heard.

Inside are palm-sized golden eagles, lion principalities, and even the bulk currency of all human countries, this kind of tactful compromise is worth it to him, he glanced at the eastern county city, and also nodded: "Port, that place is good, I like it very much, and I am willing to go and see it." ”

"That's great." The old butler suddenly smiled.
