The noon sun was hot.
The temperature in the Nalun Desert suddenly rose to a terrifying level like an oven.
Walking against such a terrible scorching sun will lead to heat stroke and dehydration in just ten minutes. If you don't want to die, you'd better find a tent on the back of the dune to avoid the high temperature at noon.
Kant also did not leave, enjoying his due comfortable lunch in the station.
Just received a large sum of money from Golden Eagle in the morning.
After returning to "Drehem" Castle, it can be exchanged for 268,000 dinars at any time.
Pay off the loan of King Yarogerke, leaving more than half as a surplus.
Looting the world's gold as a material is much faster than slave trade and production business. If Kant can find this way to earn dinars earlier, he will definitely scratch his head and get through the business to the Principality of Lions. Wire.
But it is not successful now.
A trade start-up requires careful maintenance in order to obtain maximum returns.
The merchants of the Principality of Lions needed Kant's salt, and Kant needed the golden eagles of the Principality of Lions. Even if they exchanged 150 large silver coins on the black market for one golden eagle, they would accept it and offered to give up the profit.
The purpose is to ensure that all subsequent trades will be settled with Golden Eagles.
After all, Kant's system requires only gold.
For example, the demand for materials such as silver is actually not high, or they are not received at all.
As long as Kant can obtain a large number of golden eagles, it is equivalent to obtaining a large number of dinars, an opportunity for development, and future strength, which is beneficial and has no disadvantages.
With the system and dinar, his development is changing like a thousand miles a day!
This is just the beginning.
Dine at noon, avoiding the scorching sun.
Kant just took this lunch break.
The 100 Swadian knights are still on alert. They have not played in the previous battles, and now they still have spare power.
After all, although the merchants were coerced to the top floor of the inn, the guards and servants of these caravans were still there. If the scale of hundreds of people really made a fuss, it would be considered a big trouble, and these knights needed to be strictly guarded.
Who knows if there are any ambushing troops inside, or if there are ghosts in their hearts.
Fortunately, there were no disturbances.
Rolf also led the Salanders to easily defeat the opponent and win the victory.
And 120 Sarande riders and 220 desert bandits have gained the experience of this victory in full, especially if the enemy army is so destructive and defeated, it is enough for all the desert bandits to upgrade.
The upgrade cost of the Desert Bandit is 20 Dinars, for a total of 4400 Dinars.
Kant is naturally not stingy.
With the determination, all 220 desert bandits were upgraded to elite desert bandits.
Wearing better iron-inlaid leather armor, the number of short javelins on the back has also increased to six, and the heavy ones are also more lethal.
The current elite desert bandits, indeed, can be called elite, and they are fully qualified to cooperate with the Sarande riders to launch a charge. It is estimated that the 600 knight attendants will attack again, and the consequences will be even more miserable.
After the rain of javelins, it will not be the backs of the elite desert robbers fleeing.
Instead, they cooperated with the charge of Salander's riders, held spears and scimitars on both sides, rushed in between the turns, and were elite bandits who slashed wantonly!
But thinking of these knight attendants, Kant couldn't help squinting.
Go out of the room again.
When I came to the lobby on the first floor, I found Rolf sitting on a chair.
Beside them were 30 Salander riders, holding their spears and knife handles majestically, looking coldly at the 10 captives kneeling in front of them, all silent but full of momentum.
Looking at the miserable appearance of these 10 captives with bruised cheeks and blood at the corners of their mouths, it was obvious that they were being interrogated.
And it's over.
After getting the information he wanted, Rolf waved his hand: "Bring them back!"
"yes!"
The Sarande rider nodded, walked over to pick up the 10 captives, and walked out of the station.
There are quite a few tents outside for these captives, and next to them are the tents of the Swadian knights. As long as they dare to make the slightest movement, their weapons and armor have been restrained, and it is estimated that they will be massacred in an instant.
These captives have also been appointed, and they dare not resist in the slightest.
The previous charge from Rolf directly killed the group of knight attendants, making them terrified!
Kant paid no attention to the group of captives.
Sitting in his seat, he asked Rolf, "Where did these guys come from?"
"Well."
Rolf paused slightly.
"Let's talk." Kant frowned and said, "Do you still have any hesitation?"
"Indeed." Rolf smiled wryly, shrugged at Kant and said, "These guys are called the Storm Mercenary Group, they are mercenary groups that run rampant in the North and South County of the Lion Principality, and occasionally go deep into the East County, it is said that they are quite famous. "
"Yes, they are indeed famous."
Kant nodded.
This mercenary group has suddenly appeared in recent years and has done several major cases.
For example, helping some nobles to kill some enemies, or attacking some small nobles' families to massacre, although they were not wanted by the noble court, everyone in the Lion Principality knew that it was the people from the Storm Mercenary Group who did it. of.
But who in the Principality of Lions doesn't know that this storm mercenary group is originally a wild dog raised by a high-ranking noble.
Therefore, he was not wanted by the noble court.
If it is an ordinary gang of bandits, it is another matter whether they can capture the families of minor nobles. As long as they do such things that touch the bottom line of the nobles, they will probably be wanted by the noble court long ago, and let those nobles, big and small, draw their hands. He gritted his teeth hard and wanted to fight off this uncontrolled gang of bandits.
How can it be regarded as the loyal dog of the nobles, as well as the trembling and fearful executioner of the minor nobles who have offended the high-ranking nobles, like the reputation that has spread in recent years.
But Kant frowned: "These guys seem to be the Storm Mercenary Corps."
"uh-huh."
Rolf shrugged, there is no need to say more about the situation.
Kant understood.
This is a nobleman, and he is starting to target him!
The reputation of the Storm Mercenary Corps is very good. Basically, it is difficult for any minor nobles dealt with by them to survive. In addition, they have never been arrested, so their reputation alone is enough to scare many people.
Now appearing in Kant's Nalun Desert, it is entirely for the purpose of killing the sentry oasis.
Just want to kill Kant!
He gritted his teeth slightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know who is behind the scenes?"
"Their mouths are hard."
Rolf shrugged.
"Didn't ask?" Kant frowned.
"No, that's the question." Rolf shrugged and said very normally: "I selected 30 people, and after killing 20, the remaining 10 guys told me everything they knew."
"Good job." Kant nodded.
Rolf continued, "It's Baron Dylan."
Kant was stunned.
Slightly stunned for a moment, he turned his head and smiled in disbelief: "You mean Baron Dylan from Stone Pass?"
"That's right." Rolf nodded.
"Then I really don't believe it."
Kant smiled and shook his head, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Those captives didn't tell you the truth."
He is very clear about Baron Dylan's background.
Although he and this uncle Dylan had to compromise because of the need for a disguise.
But in fact, the baron of the Stone Pass is like a dispensable warrior nobleman in the Lion Principality. accepted by the circle.
As long as they are capable and have some background in the noble family, the object of marriage is definitely the daughter of the noble family.
The class of merchants is really only half a level higher than that of ordinary people!
But in the eyes of nobles.
Although merchants and landlords have the title of gentleman, they are no different from commoners.
And marrying the daughter of a non-noble is even more self-willed and depraved.
If Baron Dylan had the ability to train 600 knight attendants, how could he be so resentful, rejected by the mainstream aristocratic circle, and become a miserable marginal noble
This is obviously impossible, just think about it with your brain, there is definitely something tricky in it!
"It's not right."
Rolf nodded, his tone was a little weird: "So I used the scabbard to slap the cheeks of these captives."
"I see." Kant nodded.
When they first came down the stairs, the captives had bruises on their cheeks and blood at the corners of their mouths.
Although the face can be seen in front of him, it must have been hit by a heavy object.
Kant frowned and said, "Who the hell is that!"
He was dissatisfied with Rolf's sloppy and procrastinating approach.
"yes…"
Rolf's face was even more weird. After thinking about it, he still said to Kant: "After torture, the backstage of these guys is the Countess Agatha from the East County. Uh, Mr. Kant, I think you should know this The countess is famous for her brutal blood, because she... uh..."
"That's right, she is my aunt, the closest aunt in blood." Kant narrowed his eyes, and took what Rolf didn't say, but his tone was indifferent: "Oh, aunt."
The royal family has no family, how can there be any aunt.
What's more, Kant's relationship with this aunt was not very good since he was a child.
The most important thing is that this aunt has had a stalemate with his father, Cameron the Lion, since 10 years ago. For this reason, she changed the Dongjun collar to the Dongjun collar, in order to be in harmony with the South and North counties. Annoyed by the name.
Even the communication between the two sides, such as the communication between the top nobles, has almost stagnated.
At least until Kant came to the Nalun Desert, he didn't know that there was any sign of reconciliation between the two sides.
"but."
Kant narrowed his eyes, with seriousness in his eyes: "Why did she send troops over?"
"I don't know." Rolf shook his head.
If you are doing business, then it is good to send a caravan.
Sending troops directly, or the notorious and notorious Storm Mercenary Corps, does not mean any reconciliation, but to the point of tearing their faces naked and resolving grievances with the most direct way of war for nobles!
Kant didn't think that he and Aunt Agatha, who was the earl, had reached such a point of endless death.
But anyway, the war did begin.
Now that the East Commander has sent troops, Kant will definitely not accept the so-called favor by licking his face.
His strength is enough to protect himself!
