Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 149: Small village
Chapter 149 Xiaoshan Village
Vanades City is the largest commercial and trading city of Madras Dukedom, as well as the largest distribution center for goods and goods. This is mainly due to the very good geographical location of Vanades City. It is located in the hub of transportation in all directions, and it is accessible to the south. To the Kingdom of Antinac, northbound is Northern Land, eastbound to Fakker Dukedom and Shabaj Duchy, westbound is the capital of Madras Dukedom, the administrative center of Salisco. Relying on convenient road transportation, Vanades City is known as the commercial flower of Madras Dukedom.
Lorist took the bow cavalry squad for five days, night and day, and drove non-stop for nearly a thousand miles to Vanades City.
Now I have to stay at Vanades City for two days. One is to find out the news, and the other is to take a break from the horsepower. I drove two hundred miles a day for five consecutive days. These Northern Land horses already as archers mount are almost at their limit.
Rent a small caravan camp in the southern suburbs of Vanades City to settle the archers. Pete is responsible for trivia. Lorist entered the city with Patt and five Imperial Guard. They need to find a better one. The hotel serves as a place to stay.
Last time Lorist took Orville Keith their caravan back to Northern Land and only rested outside Vanades City for one day. Shadekampf entered the city to add some food and grass supplies and hurried on the road. This time Lorist entered the city for the first time. Compared with Morante City, a commercial city that has lived for ten years, although Vanades City is not large, it has a strong commercial atmosphere, but the streets are narrow and densely packed shops can rub shoulders. The shouting crowd seemed to make Lorist return to the familiar Morante City.
Perfume Beauty Hotel is located on the South Street of Vanades City. It is a famous high-end hotel, and it is also the most favorite place to stay between Aristocrat(s) and big businessmen. Although it is expensive, it can still be filled with guests.
Lorist rented four suites in the side building. After taking a bath, two Imperial Guards were sent to inform Pete of his residence in the city. Then he took Patt and four Imperial Guard down the stairs and occupied them in the hotel lobby. Ordered at two tables and listened to the conversation of the surrounding diners while enjoying dinner.
After listening for a long time, Lorist was disappointed. Although the merchants dining here talked about the road blocked to Andinak Kingdom in the conversation, most of them complained and guessed when the blockade will be lifted, and the rest said about the detour. With the goods in hand and so on.
Eating while listening, I occasionally looked up and found that the Patt sitting opposite was staring at a place behind me. Lorist froze, looked back, and smiled.
Behind is a small living room like a corridor, full of women dressed in flowery dresses. From time to time, guests from the hotel enter, choose the woman who likes it, and after the price is negotiated, they take the woman back to the hotel's guest room for the Chinese New Year.
"Hehe, you're in the mood? If you want, you can choose one and leave before eleven o'clock in the evening." Lorist looked at the huge hourglass arranged on the hotel lobby counter and said, "It's only seven o'clock now. , You have four hours to go and there is plenty of time ... "
Patt blushed: "No, I just look, see, see ..."
"Really?"
"Don't, I want to guard beside Lord(s) ..." Patt shook his head resolutely.
"It's safe here. We are just a team of businessmen. No one knows me. And as a businessperson, when you go to a hotel, instead of looking for a woman, it's more eye-catching. You look at them, and you look at the women's eyes straight as you If you want to find a woman, then go out with me. I want to buy a few detailed maps of the road in front. Each of them will give a gold fordes, let them find a woman by themselves. Our team looks normal. "Lorist said.
Patt turned around and gave four Imperial Guard one gold coin(s) each on the other table. This unexpected surprise made the four Imperial Guard flushed with excitement. Patt instructed them not to talk about leaks, and to let those women leave before 11 pm. The four Imperial Guard nodded, just because Lorist was still embarrassed to pick a woman right away.
With Patt, the two went out of the hotel, visited two night markets, bought two travel notes and several maps at the bookstore. To the surprise of Lorist, the castle defense map of Fortress Liana was sold in the bookstore. The bookstore Boss disagreed. Some time ago, the Madras Grand Duke order blocked the borders and roads, and refused to enter the homeless population. For a while, the fortress castle of Liechtenstein was a hot topic. Many people who liked to talk on paper came to buy a few friends to talk about how to defend and how to overcome it. This was normal.
"This city defense plan was reproduced directly from the archives room. It's selling very hot now, sir, or should I have one?" The bookstore Boss promoted.
"Well, give me the last one too, and go back and think about how to conquer this fort." Lorist said.
"In fact, the fortress castle is dead. The real defense depends on people. As long as our iron guard Legion of Dukedom is present, this fortress castle cannot be captured." The bookstore Boss rolled up the map to Lorist, He said proudly.
Lorist nodded, thoughtfully.
After returning to the hotel, Lorist spent two days staying in the room carefully to figure out the terrain of Vanades City to the fortress castle of Liechtenstein, and also called the hotel waiter to find a familiar lane to Fakir Dukedom The guide of the route asked in detail about the road leading to Faker Dukedom. Here they also instructed Patt and Imperial Guard to show up at the taverns and hostels in the city, to inadvertently inquire about the combat readiness of the border and the armament of logistical supplies.
In the eyes of the hotel waiter and other businessmen, Lorist is just an ordinary Aristocrat(s) from Redlis Kingdom, and he is worried about how he goes to the lane to go home.
On the third day, Lorist left the room and returned to the archery camp in the southern suburbs.
In the evening, within big tent, Lorist convened Pete and Patt to arrange the next trip.
"... We will start tomorrow morning and head east along the road leading to Faker Dukedom. This is a small mountainous area with complex terrain. I heard that there were robbers and thieves before. But because of the border blockade, There are many business travellers on this mountain road, and Madras Dukedom also deployed a brigade of guards to be responsible for the security alert on this road. It is said that no news of robbers and robbers has been heard in this month.
We should be half a day away from the small village here. The information I heard is that a small squadron of soldiers is stationed in this small village, because not far from the small village is a fork. This trail runs south from a large area. Go through the forest to reach this hill, and two small roads are divided under the hill. One road leads to the fortress castle of Liechtenstein, and the other road passes over the hill to the edge of Bailu Lake.
We have two choices. One is to cross the Bailu Lake, and the other side is Andinak Kingdom, but we do n’t know when we can find the ferry. After all, we have more than a hundred people plus five big cars, which is a bit troublesome. Fortunately, these four paths can pass four rounds of carriage . There is another way out from the fortress of Liechtenstein.
Look, the fortress of Liechtenstein is built on the mountain climbing. To the west is the Leiden Range to the sea. This road is not accessible. Under the eastern **** of the castle of Liechtenstein, it is the traffic avenue connecting the two countries. About 500 meters away from the castle are three small rock mounds, which the locals call the bread hills, bare like three freshly baked round breads. Now I heard that a military barracks was built above, a soldier(s) of Iron Guard Legion stationed in a brigade, and the fortress castle of Lichtana controlled the middle avenue from left to right.
Under Bakery Hill is nearly a hundred miles of Egret Lake. This Egret Lake is the natural dividing line between Andinak Kingdom and Madras Dukedom, but in addition to the path I crossed over the hill to reach the lake, I used to go along the coast. Swamps and virgin forests, we did not hear about existence, the second road leading to the lake.
Sentinel towers and wooden fences have also been set up in the 500-meter open space and avenues in the middle of the bread hills and columns of mountaineering. already has completely closed the border. The last time Patt heard about it was that ten defensive ballistas were arranged in the barracks on the bread post. Like the layout of the fortress castle in Liechtenstein, they are all regular defensive ballistas with a range of two or three hundred meters . Even if the sentry tower and the wooden fence in the middle are damaged, the cross-fire shooting on both sides can block the traffic of this avenue.
So we do n’t break through here until we have to, it means we have to pay a heavy casualty. When we arrive at this small village tomorrow at noon, we will carefully check the density of the patrol guards to see how alert they are to that fork and whether we can let us pass by. If it does n’t work, we will forcibly pass, reach the lake and discard all the debris vehicles, and spend the lake with mount ...
...
At noon, Lorist took the troops to the small village, and after showing the Tibor Family badge to the guards, he was allowed to enter the small village to rest. In the open space in front of the small village, already has three branch merchants caravan resting, they will embark on a journey after eating lunch.
I found an open field and Pete commanded the bow cavalry to start cooking. The villagers in the small village came to sell with their own brewed ale and food. It seems that Madras Dukedom's move to block the border gave this small The mountain village brought unexpected prosperity. The villagers of the mountain village made a lot of money from passing caravans by selling snacks and their own collected and hunted mountain products and prey. Everyone had a contented smile on their faces.
After having lunch, I took a break for another hour. Lorist ordered the packing to prepare for departure. This is a secret sign, meaning that you must break through the level guarded by a garrison squad while you are forced to break through. Everyone must do it. Ready for battle.
When the equipment was being sorted out, there was a bustling noise at the gate of the small village, and then a small team of garrisoned soldiers came in with seven or eight bundled rigorous Mercenary dressed people.
Patt only glanced in the past, his face changed greatly, and he turned back to Lorist: "Lord(s), it's not good. I caught Reidy and Jim ..."
"What? What did you say?" Lorist looked back. Looking back, the bound Correct Reidy and Jim like cripples surrounded by the crowd were still bleeding on the shoulders of Jim. It was only after a very fierce fight that they were arrested. The rest of the employees who hired Mercenary were also dressed with injuries.
The Mid Captain(s) stationed in the small mountain village scolded him out of a wooden house, his clothes were disheveled, and two red kiss marks could be seen from his open chest and neck. Obviously, the arrival of these captives disturbed him. To the good things he is doing.
Mid Captain(s) crowded the crowd and watched the Squad Leader escorted, and ordered the prisoners Reidy and Jim to be locked in a stone house made of a prison cell.
Lorist greeted him and asked curiously, "Hey, Captain, what is going on with these captives? Do you still arrest slaves?"
"Fart slave ..." Mid Captain(s) cursed, and then remembered that the previous one was Aristocrat(s), although it was not Aristocrat(s) of Dukedom, but it was a Viscount anyway, not his Mid Captain(s) identity. I quickly tidy up my clothes: "Say tribute to you, Lord Viscount. These people all sneaked across Egret Lake to enter Dukedom territory and violated the Grand Duke(s) traffic ban before they were captured."
"How do you deal with them? Do you sell them to slave traders? I think they are very strong men and can sell for a good price." Lorist said.
"Damn Aristocrat(s), also doubles as a slave trader." Mid Captain(s) cursed and replied: "We do not engage in slave trading. We are beheaded after being interrogated at night after being caught like this across the border. Lord(s), Xiao Hanging from the tree east of the mountain village are the heads that have been cut off across the border ... "
Lorist Only found that there were no fewer than thirty heads hanging from a big tree in the east of Xiaoshan Village ...
"It's a pity. I had to come up with a good price ..." Lorist didn't look very sorry.
"Excuse me, Lord Viscount, this is the order of Grand Duke(s), we can only obey. Let me leave first, and I wish you all the best." Mid Captain(s) left after a gift.
Lorist walked back with a somber face and said to Patt and Pete: "Find a way, find an excuse to stay, find out the defense of the small village in the afternoon, and kill them by night, and rescue them from Reidy Jim."
Pitt said, "Lord(s), why not do it now?"
Lorist shook his head: "Now there are too many people. You can see five or six caravan dealers around us. We cannot guarantee that we will not leak the news. The guards around us will soon get alerts to surround us. We There is only a small team of people, but there is a large team of guards in charge of this road. I don't want to trap nearly a hundred of you to save a few people.
If it arrives at night, there will be no dealer caravan here, because it is only half a day away from Vanades City. No matter whether you are here or no one will stay here overnight, we can guarantee that the defensive team from other places will not be here. The enemy is settled. "
Mid Captain(s) lives in the house where the most beautiful woman in this small village, a young widow. Originally, there were still many young people in Xiaoshan Village who were dedicated to her, but Mid Captain(s) had nothing to do with those young people.
I was just disturbed by the Mercenary who was illegally hired. This time I just entered the lane and heard the door knocking.
"What's going on!" Mid Captain(s) was furious, and the little Little Brother who was still stabbing just now was shrunk into a ball.
"Captain, the Lord Viscount who just talked to you when you got off the horse accidentally fell off immediately, as if several bones were broken, and they couldn't go. Then Lord Viscount passed out, his men already went to Vanades City. Please Potion Master. Now they are going to set up camps in the village. "The men outside the door loudly Reported.
"Haha, that ’s really good news. That **** slave slave Viscount also has such bad times." Mid Captain(s) Dale: "Let them camp in the village to be on the right track. I will visit Lord Viscount again at night. Do n’t bother me now. Hurry up! "
Hold your head down and say to the little widow with a spring face underneath, "Baby, help me with your little mouth ..."
