For all the people in Lengwei County of Essende, it has been a **** period recently. In the streets and alleys full of recruitment notices, young people can be seen in groups holding their own weapons and armor. Went to the recruitment office located in the center of the town, even if the older people were older, they also showed a glance of appreciation to these young people who were carrying weapons to the recruitment office.

　　

It turned out that in front of the real crisis, only the Sendeng talents were the backbone of the Northwest. This idea gave the Senden people a long-suppressed national pride that burst out like a volcano. Crazy about Gaul Kyoto 180 thousand The news of the arrival of the army, more of a feeling, is a kind of starting point ignited by blood. If the time can go back 20 years, these old people will also take up their weapons without hesitation and go to join the ranks of the army that surrounded the northwest.

　　

　　Because this time, it was Sonsen that surrounded the northwest, not the northwest coast that everyone thought

　　

The streets and alleys are spreading madly. The Gaul Empire dispatched 180,000 troops to suppress the northwest, and the strong northwest coast has been counseled this time. Only the Sende, and only the Sende Dare to face the army from the Gaul Empire,

　　

　　 This time, the fate of the Northwest will be determined!

　　

As long as you think of this, for the people who have always felt crushed by the northwest coast, the comfortable feeling is like drinking a glass of ice wine from the top of the snow mountain in the hottest June happy,

　　

　　Citizens have such an idea, which is justified, and most nobles have the same idea. In fact, all of this is understandable. Sunder is an old power in the northwest.

　　

　　The military is strong, backed by a flat Essende Basin, with a warm climate and developed agriculture,

　　

Since the division of the barbarian in the Northwest three years ago, the Sunder region was under the jurisdiction of the Gaul Empire. The Sunder people who have lived under the nose of the Gauls for more than three hundred years must pay more than three points to the Gauls every year. One of the properties, a hundred young Sunder girls who were used as maids, had to participate in the war between the Gauls and the Gangfei Empire. There were countless deaths and injuries, and the Gauls’ attitude towards Khun Sunder was more like that. A watchdog, in a good mood, rewards a specialty of Kyoto. If he is in a bad mood, he will increase the tribute requirements at that time. For the insatiable and high master, all the Senden people have hated it from the heart.

　　

Although Lengwei County went through the disaster of the May rainstorm, Lengwei County, which is located in the basin terrain, is surrounded by mountainous areas. The dense elm forest is like a circle. Only one road can enter here, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. In the painting, on the top of the mountain, you can still see the snow that has not yet completely melted. The surroundings are high and the middle is low. On the slopes under the impact of heavy rain, the rolling mudslides are wrapped in a lot of sand and trees and dragged out for thousands of kilometers. Filling the soil, the villages along the way were devastated,

　　

　　 For those nobles, they all lived in a strong and fortified castle, so the mudslide caused by the heavy rain.

　　

　　 did not cause much loss to them. It's just that most of the outer estates to which the castle belongs are destroyed, but that kind of loss is extremely limited.

　　

As for the peasants who have suffered the most losses, this is totally negligible for the nobles. Anyway, they only collect the harvest in the field according to the predetermined amount, and how many people are left in the village and can produce. How much is not as important as the invitation to the evening banquet

　　

Since the rise of commerce in the Northwest Coast, this road from Unesend to the Northwest Coast has been busy. The nobles are satisfied that the merchants can greatly satisfy their profligate by virtue of the large amount of materials controlled in their hands. The needs of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce have brought benefits to them. Many things are difficult to calculate with money. Those lower class nobles began to cooperate with businessmen to start business,

　　

　　Although the lower class nobility is the least of the nobility, they are nobles after all, especially in certain key positions, such as field specialties and land, which have passed the tariff rate, they can provide certain privileges for the merchants,

　　

　　 And this is what the businessmen dream of, after all, in addition to going through these nobles, another way to improve their status. It is to let yourself quickly master a lot of wealth and use it to make up for the lack of identity. It has become the consensus of Lengwei County businessmen,

　　

For example, Sir Jensen, the richest man in the county, although he was only an obscure jazz, he received an invitation from the master of the county guard. After the banquet, the distinguished master of the county guard personally took this jazz. Sending out your own mansion, which was absolutely unimaginable glory before

　　

　　Since the beginning of commercial rampage, it is easier for civilians with a craft to find a good job. As for those who think they are talented, there are many places to try their luck. Among them, the brightest future is mercenaries. Once selected by the caravan mercenaries, especially if the caravan mercenary team is from the northwest coast, then the identity is immediately different, standing out and running around for a few years, then Returning home with a heavy gold coin, or even a local lord may even be appointed as a business team leader, that is only a matter of time.

　　

　　 In the Kingdom of Sunder, local nobles can appoint lower-level nobles, and the captain of the merchant marine is close to a jazz. However, after all, people with such opportunities are limited, and this path is not accessible to everyone.

　　

　　For most people, it is a good choice to learn some mercenary skills and earn money to support the family. Since the local county guard allowed all the nobles to own their own business groups, mercenaries suddenly became popular, especially those with a craft, if there were more mercenary skills, then there were definitely people

　　

　　 will fight for you, the power of the Chamber of Commerce is obvious in Lengwei County, but it is not the small force that was randomly exploited by the local lord,

　　

　　 grasps the business lifeline of the county with one hand, and grasps the business rights leading to the northwest coast with one hand. The current Lengwei County Chamber of Commerce is definitely equivalent to an underground power, although the debris flow some time ago caused the farmers in the county to suffer.

　　

However, the profit sharing from the caravan also allowed these losses to be quickly compensated. As for the Danis County guard, he had just tasted the sweetness in the trade on the northwest coast. A large number of goods changed hands often and he could often obtain it. Feng Hòu's interests,

　　

　　 But the order from the capital to prepare for war still made his heart a little nervous. Of course, he also heard the news that the Gaul army was about to be crushed, but is it related to his cold tail county? If you really want to recruit troops to prepare for war, it should also be a few counties close to the south,

　　

　　 And the only border here is the northwest coast. Danis is not a fool. He even knows that he has slipped farther and farther away from the original camp. Now he is increasingly unable to grasp the situation,

　　

　　 can even say that he is increasingly grasped by the situation. He is not unable to get rid of the current situation, but he is not willing to get out of this situation,

　　

　　 The convenience and benefits from the northwest coast, so that his desire is germinating,

　　

The rich benefits brought by the chamber of commerce are like a bottle of alcoholic wine, which becomes more flavorful, intoxicating, and over time, but he is the drunkard who is addicted to life. He is deeply addicted. Can't get rid of the temptation of alcohol. Over the years, I have worked hard to squeeze it out, making the whole county full of dissatisfaction with myself, but the wealth we have is quite limited, one of the most important reasons. However, Lengwei County does not produce food.

　　

　　 Therefore, a lot of the wealth we get must be used in exchange for food.

　　

　　Since the joint establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, I tried to raise food through the Chamber of Commerce. I did not expect that I only paid one-third of the original money and obtained more food than before. It is precisely because of this success that Danis will manufacture the weapons and equipment that the county was originally responsible for, and the weapons and equipment to be turned over are also purchased through the Chamber of Commerce.

　　

　　 The money saved this time is even more impressive. What dazzles Danis most is that the quality of the goods and the delivery time have not been delayed at all. This is absolutely impossible for those arsenals that always provide conditions and require processing money. As for the tax jointly paid by the chamber of commerce, Danis is even more happy, just a road, not only the amount of tax is much more than before, but also the Chamber of Commerce with a large number of materials is united and is willing to replace money with equivalent materials.

　　

　　 This is what Danis is most interested in. After all, the extra money does not have any real meaning to him.

　　

Food, weapons, and luxury goods that can show his identity are what Danis needs most, not to mention in this county, or even in the two neighboring counties, from the northwest coast, from other The luxury goods on one end of the mainland are also the most sought-after goods. Now the gift to the chief is no longer how many gold coins are sent, but whether there is the rarest "Sarand Pearl" in the gift.

　　

No one can imagine how poor the heavens are. How did the Salanders at the other end of the sea collect these crystal clear, glittering treasures from the depths of hundreds of meters. For the nobles who are inland, Looking at this faint, shimmering color, it seems that even the wind is breathing from the sea

　　

　　With the luxury goods acquired in the shortest distance, Danis feels that his status in front of the Duke is also rapidly improving. In the first two months, the Duke Master even invited himself to participate in the birthday party of the younger son.

　　

Danis almost burst into tears for this. The Danis family had been guarding the gate for Yisende for more than 100 years. They had been doing business every year and did not dare to slacken. Four members of the family died in the war. Someone had his head cut off by the enemy because he was captured and failed to meet the ransom requirement of the other party.

　　

Because it is inland and only has such a pitiful specialty as wood, Lengwei County has always been ranked at the end of each county. Every year it can be seated at the annual banquet of the Lord Duke, it can only sit near the gate. Cold bench,

　　

　　Cold wind, the fun of the banquet seems to have nothing to do with yourself. The wind of the cold wind is poured in from the door, and even the delicious dishes that are sent to you in order in turn are cold and light.

　　

He is treated the same as himself, one is himself, and the other is the governor of the White Pigeon County who is as sad as himself. The guy is only forty years old this year, but his hair is white, and his life situation is worse than himself. The entire white pigeon The county is not as fascinating as its name. It is on the edge of the Sunder Basin. Except for the big mountains, the elm woods in the mountains are beautiful, but when it comes to output, the only thing that can be taken is some. Not a precious leather,

　　

　　 Thinking of the guy who made a great effort to the Duke Lord last time, claiming that it took hundreds of manpower to capture the cherished Firefox,

　　

As a result, the next day, the Duke Master discovered that it was just an ordinary fox dyed red with red dye. The Duke was furious. This guy was frightened on the spot, and finally the kind-hearted Duchess came out to make this matter go. ,

　　

Thinking of the Duchess, who has always been known for his kindness, Danis remembered the rumor about the "brotherhood" some time ago. He can’t help but feel fair. He is just like most of the county guards. He thinks that the new Duke’s superior is really Something too rushed and too conspiratorial. A month later, Duke Haigeello and his directly-held legion finally appeared in front of Chengdaville's gate.

　　

　　As early as two days ago, the gate of the county was already greeted with ceremonies, news from the capital, the duchy of Dunkirk

　　

The Duke will pass by here, but this is a Duke who holds the entire Principality. Although the strength of the Principality of Dunkier is not as good as that of Sonder, it is also the highest ranking in the northwest. From the gate of the city all the way to the city center.

　　

There is a long red carpet in the middle, standing on both sides full of welcoming crowds, and every two or three meters there is a rider in a festive costume. The ward guard Danis stands at the gate, behind him is the county Almost all civil and military officials, even the Chamber of Commerce, came with several people. Almost all of them had to wait at the gate of the city early. The only one who did not need to follow these officials at the gate of the city, only in front of the Duke of Sunder The Minister of Home Affairs Angelio and the Deputy Foreign Minister Sidney

　　

The two stood alone in one direction, isolated from the others who greeted them, and a team of heavy knights in the heavy armor stood behind the two seriously, and then asked the butler the opportunity, the county guard Danis glanced at the outside world. According to rumors, the former prince servant officer who was promoted because of his back to the Lord, had a face that looked a bit wide, his forehead was a little high, and his spirit seemed a little haggard,

　　

"I have done such a thing, and it seems that the recent days have not been very good," Danis sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth, thinking this unconsciously. As a result, he saw that the worried Minister of the Interior turned his eyes and quickly smiled respectfully. , The other person's gaze turned to other directions hesitantly

　　

so close! Danis exhaled secretly,

　　

Which one is the Duke’s minister of assignment after all, representing Sondsen, but it’s not like a small county guard can provoke him, but he heard that the destination of the Duke of Dunkier this time is The capital of Essende came to sign the Northwest Joint Operations Agreement,

　　

　　Thinking of this, Danis's waist can't help but straighten a bit, see if you can! At the moment when the fate of the Northwest is determined, only Sunsende can stand up. This is the foundation of the largest power in the Northwest. As for the newly-growing Northwest Coast, it is very strong, but it is really facing this The question of life and death can be done, that is, waving the flag!

　　

　　Everyone was anxiously waiting at the gate of the city, standing for a long time, everyone was a little tired. Those soldiers in charge of the defense of the county said that their physical strength was much better than ordinary people, but those clerks who didn’t move much at all and sat in the room all day to deal with official documents were a bit overwhelmed, but there was no place around them. Can sit down, these civilian officials have to rest against the wall.

　　

　　I don't know how much time has passed. I saw a cloud of dust rising far away. Everyone began to commotion, it should be Lord Duke arrived, everyone cheered up, the clerks helped each other to take off the dust behind. A duke, for most people, no one can see a distinguished person in his life, and he is also a duke who controls a Principality. Such a person definitely uses the word distinguished,

　　

　　 Sure enough, after a while, a team of knights approached. I saw that these knights were wearing bright white military uniforms, and a blue ribbon was slanted from the right shoulder to the waist. A silver-grey cloak draped over him, and he was undulating with the breeze. These knights were not wearing any armor, nor were they carrying shields, and a long sword was hung on the hook on the right side of the warhorse.

　　

　　 "It's so cool!" The officers felt greedy, and the civilians felt that all the waiting in front was worth it. Look at the other's style. Only this team of cavalry made everyone feel a noble breath.

　　

　　 "Stop!" These knights in cold looks, wearing white uniforms, did not enter the city. At the gate of the city, they divided into two teams on the left to patrol around the city wall. A hundred meters behind the cavalry, a gorgeous carriage slowly came under the guard of 100 cavalry.

　　

"Come on, let's play!" Danis didn't dare to look down upon seeing this scene. He knew which duke was behind, and was about to arrive, so he ordered his men to prepare quickly and stay at the gate of the county for a while. The sound of military music and gongs and drums resounded through the sky, and dozens of maids dressed in gorgeous costumes were holding the flower baskets forehand~lightnovelpub.net~ threw petals on the ground. In the excitement, a team of people came slowly in the distance.

　　

I saw that the knight headed, with his blond hair floating casually, a straight silver-white military gown supported the knight in a strange spirit, and the horse he was riding was also superb, with a pure white coat As smooth as a white satin.

　　

　　Horses are tall and slender, full of tenacity and powerful explosive force. A silver light sword hangs on the right side of the horse,

　　

　　 The long and narrow sword body, which can only be held by one hand, fully shows that this is a weapon used by the light armored knight.

　　

　　In addition to this long sword, there are no other weapons and armor on the war horse. Behind this cavalry officer was a hundred heavily-armed heavy cavalry. I saw them wearing bright silver helmets and light silver armor.

　　

　　 The right wrist was tied with a small shield, and the back was covered with a silver robes of hòuhòu. Their battlehorses are hung with their own weapons, most of which are heavy swords and rifles, and occasionally two people wear chain hammers that can break heavy armor.

　　

　　In addition, the three silver javelins behind each cavalry became their unified weapon.

　　

"It looks right, it's Dunkier's Silver Cavalry!" The Minister of the Interior, Angelio, who had been watching this scene coldly, raised his eyebrows. "This man is also smart, entering from the northwest coast, and his position has been made clear It's very clear!"
