After less than half a month’s war, Richard took the remaining soldiers of the First Legion back to Osrigg. This time he did not return to Nord directly, but at the invitation of Count Stein. Osrig led the capital of Randost.

Because it was a banquet, Richard did not allow the First Army to accompany him. He first asked Lieutenant Magnus to lead the Army back to Nord (after returning to Nord, according to the new law, the soldiers who owned the land would be disbanded and returned home. Soldiers who have no land are used as standing troops and stay in the barracks), and then take the general guard and a crossbow cavalry brigade to Randost.

Landauster City, in terms of its function, is actually more urban, although it was positioned as a castle when it was first built.

In the beginning, Landauster, as the castle, was built on a mountain peak, but as time passed, more and more civilians built houses around the castle. In order to protect these civilians, the lord chose to build another wall. Repeatedly, there is now a medium-sized city that occupies the entire hill. Perhaps because of water and food problems, the permanent population of Landauster has been limited to around 15,000. In order to solve the problem of urban residents’ sewage discharge, the Landauster people deliberately started to excavate the sewage canal from the top of the castle. It also allows the siege party to make a fuss on the sewage canal.

While still outside the city, Richard saw a crowd of people around the city gate. Upon closer inspection, several aristocratic people with heavily armed soldiers lined up at the city gate, seemingly waiting for something. people.

Needless to say, these people seemed to be waiting for Richard, and it was true. As soon as he saw Richard and his cavalry arrive, the nobles at the gate greeted him. The nobles headed by were dressed in luxurious robes, but from the appearance they looked like 20 or 30 years old. The others beside him Although the nobles are also luxurious in their robes, they are still incomparable in terms of their gorgeousness, so Richard speculates that he should be the lord of the Osrigg collar today, Earl Stein.

Sure enough, after some self-introduction, the noble headed was Stein, Earl of Osrig, and the nobles behind him were courtiers in the court and viscounts in the collar.

Then, after the simple welcome ceremony, Richard walked into the city gate under Stein's guidance. There was no civilian walking on the street. To be precise, the civilians were isolated by soldiers on both sides of the street, expressionless. Looking at the noble lords riding on the war horses, they whispered from time to time.

It’s worth mentioning that, perhaps because of topography, the streets of Landauster are not flooded with sewage like most cities in the world, but rather clean. Richard can see that every household There are special containers for collecting sewage and feces in front of the houses.

Richard learned afterwards that it turned out that Landauster had a special law. In order to prevent sewage from being deposited on the bottom of the city, all residents must store the sewage in a container in front of the house and wait for the manure digger to clean it in the early morning. Leaving this aside, walking up the sloping street, over a few walls, Richard and his party arrived at the castle on the top of the hill. The interior of the castle is already full of lights and lively, with a lot of alcohol and food. They are all placed on the table, and beautiful music reverberates inside the castle.

The banquet inside the castle has already begun. The nobles in the collar gathered together to toast and celebrate. Richard asked the reason for the banquet on the way here. It turned out to be to celebrate the annual Dali Sect. The action of the priest looking for the cave where the rotting tree lives.

I forgot to mention that because Richard did not deliberately lead the mission in Osrig, the residents here still believe in the magic deer, and they also follow the tradition of Daliism.

The arrival of Richard made the whole banquet even more lively. All the nobles saluted the young king Richard, and raised their wine glasses to cheer for his arrival and reign. It can be seen that these low-level nobles do not dislike Richard's rule. On the contrary, Richard's victory in several foreign wars made them admire them.

Through this banquet, Richard also learned about the situation of the nobles at the bottom of the Osrigg collar. Due to the deliberate concealment of the strength of the former earl, the aristocratic power of the Osrigg collar did not suffer too much. This made Stein, the heir of the count, a headache-the aristocratic strength was too high, and he was somewhat powerless.

In order to maintain his rule and enhance the relationship with the nobles, he would take the opportunity to hold this banquet, to pull in the relationship through the banquet, and also to communicate with the King Richard by the way.

I have to say that he was very successful. After this banquet, the aristocrats who had a little bit of his weak character also reluctantly accepted him. However, after meeting Richard, these aristocrats have a more favorable impression of Richard. Go further.

At the banquet, in addition to hearing the gossip between the nobles, the news that Osrig led the influx of refugees also entered Richard’s ears, listening to the conversation of the two chatting viscounts, Richard’s His eyes lit up ~lightnovelpub.net~ He suddenly felt that the miners in the silver mines in the Kingdom of Pravia seemed to have disappeared.

So, he paced to the two viscounts, pretending to hear it inadvertently, and asked: "Two, what is the situation of the refugees you are talking about?"

"Ah, Your Majesty." The two viscounts who were disturbed by the sudden questioning subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and then exclaimed. Seeing that they behaved like this, Richard touched his face and made sure that there was nothing dirty on it, again. Asked: "What's the situation with those refugees?"

"Ah, that's it." One of them responded quickly and replied: "A couple of days ago, a group of nearly 1,000 refugees from the Golden Principality in the north poured in. Because no nobles were willing to accept them, they kept wandering. Within the territory of Osrigg, it has already begun to affect public order."

"Why are there these refugees?" Richard wondered.

"Your Majesty, the war between the Principality of Liguin and the Principality of Page has reached a fierce stage, and the civilians of the two countries have fled their hometowns and escaped the war in the surrounding countries." Another person replied.

"That's it." Richard nodded with a thoughtful look. Seeing that Richard did not intend to continue to inquire, and fearing to interrupt Richard's thoughts, the two viscounts stepped lightly. Walk to other places. Ignoring the departure of the two, Richard was thinking about the possibility of recruiting refugees from the Duchy of Lijin as miners. In the Middle Ages, miners were generally relatively lowly occupations. If it is not forced by life, it is very Few people are willing to become miners. This is actually related to the terrible environment and harsh conditions in the mine.

After thinking about it, Richard decided to give it a try, organizing the refugees to the silver mines in the Kingdom of Pravia, and helping Osrigg to solve the problem of the refugees.
