Law of the Devil Chapter 205: [Amazing Color] (on)
Chapter 205 [Amazing Colors] (on)
When Du Wei's carriage drove all the way into Loulan City, it was getting dark. Du Wei's guard elder smoked his horse and opened his way in front. The castle was in front of him. The guards on the periphery of the castle saw the car and horse of the Duke. One after another gave way.
Dui Wei ’s castle was built to his satisfaction. He had traveled to the West during his previous life and had seen the magnificent castles of the Middle Ages. Satisfy yourself. This castle is a little bigger than the one on the Rollin Plain, and several holes were drilled around it, a trench was dug around the castle, groundwater was introduced, and a moat was built. In this way, the northwest tiger wolf This place has more ability to protect itself. Even if there is a war in the future, the outer city is unfortunately broken, and the inner castle can keep it for another year and a half.
The gate outside the castle is behind a wooden bridge over the moat. Dewey is built in the style of the British royal family Buckingham Palace seen in previous lives. There are several soldiers guarded by bright armor at the gate. , Just straightened to salute, but did not squint.
At the castle, Dewey just got out of the carriage, and Mader had greeted him. Dewey asked two questions, knowing that the dinner was ready.
The Loulan city is very busy these days, and there are lights everywhere. Even the serious soldiers who patrolled the city in the past are wearing new uniforms, and the Duke ’s Mansion in the city is even decorated. new. In these days, a large number of citizens from outside the castle of the Ducal Mansion from time to time face to face the castle and pray loudly.
After Du Wei came to the northwest, he created miracles and harvests. Makes a year of worry-free life, and the establishment of a new city is a statute of light-duty exemption. The people highly respect him. He even took Lombard to "train" with his cavalry and killed many small horse thieves. Thanks to Du Wei, most of the people in the Northwest counted. Thus. The people here adore this young duke almost to the extreme. I only hope that the duke can stay in the northwest and live long and peacefully. Then his life will be rich and stable.
So, the wind is coming out these days, and it is said that the Lord Duke is about to pass his fifteenth birthday and formally hold an adult ceremony in two days. After the news was released, the residents of the miracle city were boiling. The festival atmosphere of Loulan City was even more intense than the annual summer celebrations, and more people gathered around the castle to worship the young duke.
Durvey's birthday. It goes without saying that the castle has been busy for many days. Originally Dewey didn't want to make it too complicated, but Philip spoke to him, since Dewey was the superior. Doing things big and big, has its own meaning, and after all, the adulthood ceremony is only once in a lifetime. If it is too simple, it will lose the prestige of the Duke.
"Master, the dinner is ready. According to your instructions, I heard that the people of the Liszt family are from the south. I made people deliberately make some southern food ..." Mard was about to report in detail Suddenly, a few cavalrymen rushed out of his face and jumped out of the castle to salute Duvish: "Sir, Liszt's line of carriages and horses have gone outside the door!"
Du Wei nodded: "Well, finally here."
He didn't have time to go in and change clothes, so he just left the door to greet him.
In the evening, the guard of honor in the castle sounded the horn. On both sides of the gate, there are huge faces on both sides. On one side is a golden tulip and on the other is a temperament of the Liszt family. Two more soldiers lined up at the door, dressed in ceremonial clothes.
Dowie hadn't intended to be so heavy. After all, it is only two and a half children. However, the two people who came to mind were the brother and sister of the Marquis Liszt, especially the brother of the Marquis Liszt, who was the only male of the Liszt family, and he must be the heir to the family in the future! This status is not to be neglected, and because of the many benefits of the Liszt family, it is natural to show goodwill.
It's just a pity that Dardanelle, an old man of the Liszt family, was unexpectedly out of town today. Three days ago, he took people to the Northwest Corridor to meet a group of cattle, sheep, and horses purchased by Dewey.
In the honor guard's trumpet, a group of white horse cavalry slowly passed through the gate into the Ducal Palace and came under the castle. These cavalrymen were wearing uniform silver armor, each of them seemed to be a carefully selected young handsome man, and he wore the Liszt family crest on his chest. His horses were all white horses, all white and white, with no trace of mottled hair. On each horse's head, there is a long white feather ...
Du Wei saw that this team was dressed up as a cavalry, and knew that this must be the guard of the marquise in the Liszt family, known as the "White Feather Knights"! Because only the Marquis Liszt in the Liszt family had the title of nobility, and it was only a lifelong nobility, not hereditary. Therefore, according to the imperial decree, the Liszt family was not allowed to have its own private army. Of course, although the law is so, how can such a wealthy family without its own protection? Therefore, this White Feather Knights was named under the name of the Liszt family under the name of "Mercenaries".
Imperial Decree: Except hereditary nobility, no private army is allowed! But the imperial decree allows the rich to hire mercenaries themselves.
Everyone knows that this Knight of the White Feathers is not a mercenary group at all. It is a private army of the Liszt family, but only with a new name, and no one will really take this kind of thing. Offend the Liszt family for trouble. However, due to the decree of the empire, no more than 500 mercenaries could be hired. Therefore, the number of people written on the official list of the White Feather Knights has remained at 499.
And Du Wei also knows that this so-called 499 person also has flowers in it. The so-called policy is the top, and the countermeasures are the next. The decree of the empire is more tolerant of such things as the Knights. After all, although the knight era has passed, it has also been glorious. The biggest trick is that a knight, in addition to himself, is allowed to be equipped with up to four obediences. These obediences are even the knight's deputy or a partner in battle. They are responsible for scrubbing and repairing the knight ’s weapon armor and feeding. War horses, also training combat skills, when fighting as a knight or companion to kill the enemy ...
And the subtle thing is ... the number of obedience is not on the official list of the Knights!
That is to say, although this white feather knight group has only 499 people on the official list, if you can count four knights for each knight, then its number is at least more than 2,000!
The knights, whose names are 499, but in fact far more than two thousand, are the elite guards of the Liszt family. The Liszt family was the home of the merchants, and did not have their own territory. Unlike Dewey, which required a large number of troops to defend the place. Therefore, having more than two thousand cavalry is enough to protect themselves.
Looking at the handsome knights wearing silver armor and white horses, Du Wei couldn't help sighing.
After all, the Liszt family's head is a woman, and even the cavalry they make is so fancy. These white feather knights, although the frames are very beautiful, but too much pursuit of appearance, it seems that even the look of the horses, the knights are almost the same height, so the energy is focused on the appearance of the army, how strong the battle ?
Although he shook his head secretly, Dewey's face had already smiled.
The disposition of this team of white feather knights is still very neat. After 20 people dismounted, they lined up on both sides. Several horse carriages slowly moved to the door. , Pulling the horse is four white horses with high heads, with the bells on the horses, running all the way, accompanied by crisp bells.
This carriage seems ordinary, but the essence is convergent, but Du Wei can see that the cost of this carriage is really amazing. Just this fine black lacquered carriage is not a gift from his own Prince Chen. Bad carriage! The wheels below, as well as the highest quality materials used in each component, are not arrogant in appearance, which seems quite popular.
The red carpet was laid on the ground. The young knight, a leader of the white feather knight, slowly walked to the carriage. The man's silver armor was inlaid with some golden lace, which seemed quite similar to other knights. different. The handsome appearance, with a golden curly hair, and a touch of restraint on his face, all faintly carried a hint of arrogance. He pressed the hilt of his waist with one hand, opened the door of the carriage with one hand, and yawned slightly.
Then, a slender and delicate foot stepped out of the carriage. The round ankle, the crystal clear skin was almost translucent, and a beautiful figure came from the carriage.
The testimony of the god, this woman, even her movement of bending down the carriage, is almost beautiful! It seems that in every action, there is a special elegance and refinement ...
When she looked up, Du Wei could see the girl's face clearly, and even Du Wei's heart couldn't help beating fiercely!
What kind of face is this ...
