255. Pride in the Territory
On the evening of August 2, 1873, a convoy drove into Void City.
This team is not even forty people, but the majestic momentum exuded by the team is like a large army.
The predecessor of the Void City's city defense army was also a mercenary group, although it had experienced a lot of battles, but it was still slightly inferior to this team in terms of momentum. Of course, a large part of the reason for this is that many of the city defense troops in Void City are the number of people who were recruited and expanded later, and these people have not experienced any wars except for a certain degree of training and a few times when they were pulled out by William to encircle and suppress bandits, so even if there are some mercenaries to support the frame, the momentum is still inferior.
The knight who entered the city subconsciously snorted coldly when he saw such a city defense army.
This knight is a knight of the Hasteen family, and belongs to the knight of the Hasteen family. However, he himself did not stay at Hastings Manor, but stayed with Domingo all the time. By Hasting's side, there is even an official position - the deputy head of the Second Knights of the Kingdom of Dabiang, and his personal strength has also reached the level of the upper gold.
Whether it is personal strength or vision, in the eyes of this knight, the city defense army of Void City is simply like a group of rabble. With the scale of less than a hundred people in front of him, he didn't even need the cavalry and mercenaries behind him to make a move, one person was enough to annihilate this guard. So at this moment, in the eyes of this knight, the two forces of Steel Wings and Thunder Lion, which were making a fuss in the entire Dabiang Kingdom, were naturally nothing.
After all, in the cognition of this worldly realm, as the core main city of a territory, the level of its city defense army represents the level of all armies in the entire territory. If the quality of the city defense army in a core city is too poor, then the other armies in its territory will naturally not be mentioned.
But he didn't know that Sean and William's management methods were obviously seriously different from normal people's common sense.
After all. They were the first to develop the Iron Wings, not the Void City's city defenses. As for the Thunder Lion, more than half of them are veterans of the Iron Wing, so in terms of combat effectiveness alone, these two units are the strongest in Sean's army system, even stronger than Clov's Cecilia Guards - of course, referring to the Cecilia Guards now, not the Cecilia Guards before they left for the Savages.
After all, the blow to Cecilia's Guards in the Wild Lands was too severe, though it was now a thousand men. However, the strength of the entire army is only the level of a quasi-fourth-level army, which is worse than the previous fourth-level elite level. And Iron Wings and Thunder Lion have honed these two armies in countless wars in the past, and they have also reached the level of a quasi-fourth-level army, and in terms of the quality of the army, they are actually not much different from Cecilia's Guards. The only advantage is that both armies are 5,000 men, while Cecilia's Guards are only 1,000 men.
But in the size of the other 1,000 people. The Cecilia Guards are still far ahead.
The knight's snort. It did not cause any protest from the others, and even the few soldiers of the city defense who were standing relatively close to heard it only raised their heads and looked at the knight with an idiot-like look.
Under William's teachings, the Void City's city defenses never considered themselves to be the strongest army.
If the ten armies in the current territory must be divided into three, six, and nine ranks, then the city defense army of Void City and the militia regiment of Red Leaf Town are all third-tier troops, and the first-tier troops are Iron Wings, Thunder Lion, and Cecilia Guard. Even the pitch-black wings commanded by William himself were only in the ranks of the second echelon.
Of course, the city defense army, which has always been very self-aware, will not be provoked by such senseless provocation and contempt, just as some people in the Kingdom of Dabion say that the people of the Second Cavalry Regiment are inferior to the Red Cross Knights, and the people of the Second Cavalry Regiment are also indifferent, after all, this is a fact.
It's just that. The people of the Void City City Defense Army were not angry, but this knight was furious.
"What's your attitude!?" The knight looked at the soldiers who were looking at him with idiotic eyes, and retorted, "Do you want to die? ”
"This lord, you are too domineering, do you mean that we should die just by looking at you?" A veteran who was obviously from the White Wing Mercenary Regiment spoke without humility or arrogance, he was the leader of this unit, and he and his troops were currently guarding the city gates, "I haven't heard of this principle, at least, we don't have this principle in Void City. ”
This veteran emphasized the three words "Void City", and his attitude and meaning are self-evident.
Domingo and Ceci in the carriage frowned slightly.
When they saw this city defense army, they also felt that this was a rabble, so for them who had never really dealt with Sean's army, they also didn't think that the army of Steel Wings would be any stronger. In terms of the level and quality of this city defense army, it can't even become a reserve recruit for the Hestin family's private army, so it's natural to look down on this city defense army.
It's just that they didn't expect that the soldiers of this city defense army would still have the courage to refute. And what Domingo and Sean didn't expect was that this veteran perfectly detained the words "Void City".
At the moment, this place was indeed not Tinchiin, nor was it Lominen, so of course this knight's rudeness could not occupy any nominal heel. Although according to the cognition of this world, gold-level powerhouses naturally deserve due respect, but the foundation for establishing this respect is actually relatively shallow, at least in the face of those nobles with status and strength, gold-level powerhouses are also not worth mentioning.
"Taylor." Inside the carriage, Domingo's voice finally sounded, "We're still guests. ”
The knight who was already about to kill someone still held back his killing intent when he heard this.
At present, Panda Ling does not belong to the Hasting family, so if he kills people at this moment, then he really has to give an explanation to the city lord of Void City, and even the lord of Panda. Originally, he just killed a soldier who had no status, and this explanation was naturally light or heavy, and it was not impossible to even take it in a sentence. But the current situation is that Domingo wants to compete with the lord of Panda Collar for Panda Collar, which is obviously an act of resentment, and if you don't do it, you may have to pay for your life.
It was precisely because of this thought that the knight held back.
None of the people who can become the top golden powerhouse are fools.
It seems that seeing that the knight no longer made any moves, the veteran did not make any more provocative acts. He dared to speak like that before, but he only took the name of righteousness, but at this moment, the other party has already put on a posture of retreat, if he is still aggressive, then it is his problem. When the time comes, if you don't get it right, you will become the city lord or lord and give an explanation to the other party.
How could a veteran fritter like him make such a low-level mistake?
As a result, the two sides confronted each other at a distance in a slightly silent atmosphere.
I don't know how long it took to pass the road, but finally a carriage came from the other side of the street towards the city gate.
The carriage had no escort retinue, only an elderly coachman. However, the coachman didn't look like some strong man in disguise, so soon everyone's eyes turned to the carriage.
I saw the car door opened. It was a young woman who got out of the car.
The woman had long blond hair. The ends of the hair are slightly curled, a bit like the waves of the ocean undulating. The woman's skin is fair and delicate, her facial features are very delicate, especially her eyes, which are full of a kind of agility, and the whole person has an incomparable elegant charm in every move. I'm afraid that anyone who sees this woman will subconsciously slow down their breathing, for fear that they will accidentally disturb this beauty.
The young woman walked up to the Hasteen family's carriage and said with a smile on her face, "I'm Cecilia. At present, Archon Neil and Lord Sean are both entangled in affairs, so they can't come, so I have to lead Master Domingo to the embassy. The reception is ready, and if Master Domingo has nothing else to do, can we leave now? ”
"Absolutely." In the face of Cecilia's inquiry, Domingo only slightly maintained the reserved nature that a count should have, and then nodded in agreement.
So, the rest is very simple.
With Cecilia leading the way, Domingo and his party soon arrived at the already vacated embassy. This embassy had also been used by Sean to entertain the envoys of the Boulder family before, but that time the envoys of the Boulder family came and returned in a hurry, and of course they didn't enjoy it well. In fact, this embassy, in terms of scale alone, is not much worse than those embassies in the royal capital, and the only thing that is lacking is probably that this embassy does not have too many people.
After settling Domingo and the others, Cecilia turned around and left without stopping for a moment, without the slightest intention of staying with her.
And it was only at this time that Domingo and the others came to their senses, and they had fallen into disadvantage invisibly, and were completely led by the nose by the young woman named Cecilia.
"It looks like we're interested in this Sean. Connery's assessment is still inaccurate. Sitting in the room, Domingo thought back to the details of his entry into the city, and after a moment he said in a deep voice, "Using a girl to be our guide invisibly makes it impossible for us to attack her, and we are completely following her arrangement." Judging from the fact that she left without thinking about it, it was obvious that she had already known what we were going to do, so she didn't leave us with a chance at all. ”
"Indeed." Domingo's illegitimate son, this time disguised as the clerk in charge of recording all matters in the arbitration. Holm also nodded, "And she is still a magician, although she is only close to the upper level of silver, but I feel a strong magic fluctuation from her, and I am afraid that she is about to break through the limit." Willing to take risks at such a critical moment, the personality charm of that lord is probably not simple. ”
"It doesn't matter anymore." Domingo said in a deep voice, "Although it does make me a little unhappy that the plan was destroyed, if someone else came just now, at most it would be just verbally disgusting to the other party, and it doesn't make any sense." …… Anyway, after tomorrow, this territory will be yours, and when the time comes, just find an excuse to solve the city defense troops who are responsible for defending the city tonight. ”
Speaking of which, Domingo glanced back at the mercenary who was following him, and asked, "Do you know anything about this Sean?" ”
"My lord, I don't know much about him, but he seems to be called the 'Miracle Lord' here, and the entire people of Panda are very convinced of him." After hearing Domingo's words, this mercenary finally came out of the shadows, and it was the leader of the Heroic Sword Mercenary Regiment that betrayed William and the others when he was fighting against the Dabroun Mercenary Regiment, Aven!
