The news that Kant came to Jianshi Pass was not concealed.
At the same time, Fatis in the ruling mansion also knew the news, and personally brought the 10 Sarion Lion Knights stationed here with him, waiting in front of the mansion.
Even Baron Dylan and his knights, who were under house arrest, left the room and came to the door to greet them in person.
This is not voluntary.
There are guards waiting by the side.
150 Swadian knights in full armor stared at them coldly.
Even Fatis next to him, and the 10 lion knights, were secretly guarding these nobles and knights who originally belonged to the stone pass, but should actually be in control.
But don't worry too much.
They are very little threat.
Now they are wearing ordinary clothes, not to mention chain mail or chain mail, not even a piece of leather.
Not to mention weapons such as long spears and long swords, it is even more impossible for these knights who have not yet finally chosen to seek refuge, and now they are still alive just because they want to ensure the stability of the rocky pass.
Or the kindness of Fatis prevented him from wielding the butcher knife against those who had given up their resistance.
This is also a matter of character.
If it was Rolf, there wouldn't be so many problems.
It's not pleasing to the eye, every day, some knights can be pulled out to behead one by one, killing them until they are soft, using completely brutal means to frighten the rocky pass, the so-called long-term future has not been considered at all!
Each has its own advantages and each has its own disadvantages.
But they all have their measure.
Since Fatis has done this, he can guarantee the subsequent arrangements and long-term benefits.
No one is a fool, and no one is really a woman. After all, they are the best among them who can make a name for themselves in the chaotic Calradia continent.
150 Swadian knights.
10 Saryon Lion Riders.
With these forces, Baron Dylan and his more than 50 knights did not dare to act rashly!
Although his face is gloomy and his eyes are full of hatred, Baron Dylan still understands that if something goes wrong, he and others will really die, and many nobles in the Principality of Lions are still looking forward to their own death. die.
Once he's dead, there's an excuse to officially enter Stone Pass.
The noble court needs to investigate.
After all, it was a baron who had died by accident.
You must know that the number of barons in the entire Lion Principality is estimated to be less than 30, and now one of them died for no reason.
Of course, the most important thing is Baron Dylan's fiefdom, this rocky pass!
The only gap in the Sangwaya Mountains that sleeps like a long dragon.
The only way for the salt trade!
As long as Baron Kant is expelled and repressed back to the Nalun Desert, then this crucial trade route will be in his hands, and a steady stream of silver coins will enter his pocket.
What's more, as long as the Jianshi Pass is occupied, even the salt mines deep in the Nalun Desert have a chance to occupy it.
How could those nobles miss such a good opportunity
Not at all!
It's just that Fatis is really cautious in operating the Stone Pass.
It has something to do with his character.
There was no unauthorized killing.
On the contrary, tax reductions and exemptions have won the hearts of ordinary civilians, and they are also winning over those small landlords and small businessmen, so that these ubiquitous little people have become their own eyeliners inside and outside Jianshi Pass.
As for those big merchants and big landowners, as well as some lords and knights, they are secretly on guard.
Key figures will also be quarantined.
For example, Baron Dylan and more than 50 of his closest knights were placed under house arrest in the executive residence.
Moreover, the entire Jianshi Pass troops have been controlled by the few elites he sent out, directly going deep into the grassroots and middle ranks, and directly controlled by him and 10 lion knights as the top ranks.
There are another 150 knights as a quick response force, directly handling any important matters, which can be described as impregnable.
This not only avoids the danger, but also controls the danger to a very small range.
"coming."
Someone in front shouted softly to remind.
The faces of the people waiting in front of the mansion changed slightly, and they stood there very solemnly.
Only Fatis, as the supreme commander of the official residence of Jianshi Pass, stepped forward quickly, came to the middle of the road, watched Kant who was riding a horse, and was under the protection of 30 lion knights, bowed respectfully and saluted: "Kant Welcome, my lord!"
"Um."
Kant nodded calmly.
Riding his horse to the nearest place, Fatis immediately went over and took the rein of the horse, and asked Kant to come down. Looking at the crowds who were lining up to welcome him, he smiled and said, "There are a lot of acquaintances."
Fatis also smiled and said: "Yes, they heard that Mr. Kant is coming, and they all wanted to come and greet him personally."
"Not necessarily."
Kant shook his head and smiled.
Looking at the gloomy eyes of Baron Dylan, those knights had different expressions of joy, anger, sorrow and joy, and smiled and joked to Fatis next to him: "I didn't expect that my upright knight also knew that I was joking."
"This is the truth." Fatis smiled and shook his head, reaching out to welcome Kant into the mansion.
"go in."
Kant nodded, but didn't say much.
A group of people surrounded him and entered the mansion. There was still a narrow passage like a fortress, a slightly dim lord's hall, and the terrified female servants inside.
"Welcome...Welcome Baron Kant's...arrival!"
The maids saluted in unison.
But no matter how you listen, you can hear the panic in the voice.
Obviously, as servants in the lord's mansion, they know a lot. They all understand that the former lord has become a prisoner under house arrest. They only laughed at it secretly, and they didn't take it to heart at all. It was like being sent to the desert to eat sand Baron Kant, instead took the initiative.
Originally those strong male servants have been sent out as ordinary laborers. Only these petite and lovely maids are allowed to stay in the mansion, how can they not be frightened and timid.
Especially these maids swept Baron Dylan.
The gloomy and silent old face made them panic to the extreme.
So many people came in at this time.
Who knows what will happen to these petite and weak maids!
"Let's all spread out."
Kant waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
After becoming a superior, his observation ability has been honed more carefully. Of course, he can guess why these maids are frightened, and he can't help but smile slightly: "Arrange it, prepare the banquet, I will entertain the famous squires and servants here. Knight, the most solemn banquet specification."
"Yes... yes, Baron Kant..."
The maids answered in unison.
And just behind these maids, the fat butler who originally belonged to Baron Dylan, at this time also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a linen towel, and bowed respectfully together to salute.
Scanning Baron Dylan's darker eyes, he couldn't help shrinking his neck.
The remaining prestige of Baron Dylan is still there.
He is very timid.
But he attracted Kant's attention.
Looking at Baron Dylan's depressed and gloomy face next to him, Kant said with a smile: "The fat butler is still there, so let him continue to help in the mansion. After all, he is familiar with this place and is reliable in his work."
"This this…"
The fat butler turned pale when he heard this.
This is tantamount to putting him on fire, especially looking at Baron Dylan's dark face, with trembling legs, he dare not say anything more, but dare not refuse.
Baron Dylan is, after all, the titular lord of Stone Pass.
protected by the noble court.
If Baron Kant was coerced and had no choice but to withdraw from the Rocky Pass and let Baron Dylan regain power, then based on the fat butler's understanding of Baron Dylan's brutal character, he probably wouldn't survive the next day, and it would be considered as if he could leave a whole body Forgive me, the biggest consequence is probably not being chopped up and fed to the dogs!
But now let him shirk, seeing Baron Kant's appearance of clearly controlling the overall situation, it is impossible to shirk, and he is also afraid that if he really shirks, he will die as well.
The difference is that he died sooner and later, but he didn't want to die so early either.
"As ordered."
The fat butler saluted and accepted with a bitter face.
"Hmph!" Baron Dylan snorted coldly beside him, obviously his anger had reached a certain point.
The butler has been with him for many years.
Betrayal now.
It made Baron Dylan's face extremely ugly.
Most importantly, seeing that the steward had betrayed, the knights behind him who were already vassals were even more difficult to control their minds, and they all had different ideas one after another.
Vassal knights are different from stewards who are similar to domestic slaves, and they are equal to the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
There's nothing wrong with changing superiors.
As usual.
Baron Dylan controls Stone Pass, and he also controls this group of vassal knights.
But now, Baron Kant has entered the Rocky Pass, and Baron Dylan can't compete. How can these knights be willing to be vassals? How can it be possible to let them stay on this wrecked ship!
Even the two great knights were killed, leaving Baron Dylan as the bare commander.
These vassal knights don't care anymore!
"Sit down, everyone."
Kant didn't care about the psychology of this group of people at all.
He went directly to the seat of honor and sat down, as if he was the real lord of the Stone Pass, and waved to the maids beside him: "Prepare dinner, I will have dinner with everyone tonight."
"Yes." The fat butler and the maids answered immediately, and turned to get busy.
"It's our pleasure!"
Those vassal knights also bowed their heads and saluted with a very respectful and humble attitude.
Those who know current affairs are Junjie.
It's just that they didn't notice it, or Baron Dylan, who noticed it but didn't care at all, had an extremely depressed and gloomy expression, almost looking at them viciously, as if he wanted to eat them alive!
As the lord, Baron Dylan did not treat this group of vassal knights who were still wandering badly.
Although no land was given.
But the daily enjoyment is not bad!
Now that he flattered Kant in this way, he didn't pay attention to his old master at all!
Baron Dylan's face was gloomy, and he spoke lightly: "Baron Kant and I are close, we can arrange whatever we want here, it doesn't matter." After a pause, he looked at Kant: "Compared to other The nobles, if they come here to do this, I think the noble court will have to intervene."
