Since Dongjun City didn't welcome him, Kant naturally didn't plan to go in.
His troops are indeed large in number, and they can be regarded as elites, especially the 30 lion knights and 50 lion servants. The full set of equipment is enough to be called the elite of the elite.
If you put it in rashly, it might be a bomb.
No one dares to take responsibility.
No one dared to really promise to let Kant in.
Even if it is put into Kant alone, or limited to 3 people, it will not work.
If the heretics of the Dark Red Sect appeared inside and attacked Kant, and something happened, it would be Da Louzi. The elite troops in the Nalun Desert would directly cross the North County to take revenge.
As for the other nobles of the Principality of Lions, they probably would stand by and watch the show with peace of mind.
Really good show.
How can it be bad to weaken one's own political opponents.
Although the Eastern County Territory is still the territory and area of the Lion Principality, it is actually a semi-independent warlord.
If Kant and Countess Agatha really fight to the death, and both lose, they will be able to take advantage of the situation to capture the two places, even if they abandon the East County Territory, instead sneak into the Nalun Desert and obtain the salt mine.
Now who doesn't know that Kant's power is unparalleled, which is already equal to those great nobles.
The reason is more clear.
It's a salt mine!
If it wasn't for the salt mines in the Nalun Desert, where was the initial construction funds
In the mid-term, raising so many troops, infiltrating other places, and winning the hearts of businessmen and landlords are all places where money is spent. Kant seems to be not worried, throwing money lavishly, without leaving himself a way out.
It is because of the existence of salt mines that it is equal to a white mountain of silver and a sea of silver!
This has long made countless nobles greedy.
no way.
That's all they can think of.
Unexpectedly, Kant did not need the basic currency of this world.
Except for gold and some precious extraordinary things, there is no demand at all, only gold.
If you want to obtain gold in the long run, that is, the golden eagle currently circulating in the hands of great nobles and merchants, you need trade to support it. Of course, salt is indeed the main commodity of trade, a very popular luxury.
The route Kant took was the route of the upper class, a route only enjoyed by nobles, landlords and businessmen.
The same is true.
Ordinary civilians can't afford much salt.
Wealthier citizens can't eat three or four times a week.
As for outside the city, the average age per capita is 36 years old, and few farmers live beyond 60 years old. They can't eat salt a few times in a month, and even if they do eat it, it is inferior marsh salt.
It is extracted from the swamp in the east. It has a salty taste and is very bitter.
But it's not cheap either.
Feudal era.
Or Western European feudal society.
It is really darkness, a sinking that will never see the light of day.
For example, in a unified society like the Celestial Dynasty, after mastering the technology of boiling salt and drying salt, it enforced the dictatorship of salt and iron, and leveled the price of salt so that it would not be too low or too high, so that ordinary people could also eat salt. Not much.
We must know that in the ancient times of the earth, the period of the more advanced Roman Republic in the West.
Salt was distributed as soldiers' pay.
This world is more serious.
Salt is a necessity, fine white salt is a luxury.
equal to spice.
Those aristocrats are extremely sought after for delicious, pure and fine white salt without impurities.
If there is no such fine white salt at the banquet, they will definitely be ridiculed, especially on the face of those nobles, it will be an indelible scar, and they will slowly lose contacts and eventually become alone.
In Kant's view, this is a situation where you have to save face and suffer, and that is a business opportunity.
The salt mine is in his hands.
The caravan was well fed by him.
If there is no absolute threat of force, then his salt trade will continue to increase.
As for the so-called threat of force, Kant thinks it is a joke. At least in the Nalun Desert, he is the boss and the number one. Not to mention the Lion Principality, even the undead of the gods have to avoid the edge for the time being!
At the end of that battle, Kant's casualties were not too large, and were within an acceptable range.
But those undead descendants of gods were all wiped out, and the whole army was wiped out!
This is the power gap.
Times are different.
Once upon a time, gods and demons were the rulers of this world.
But now, with their authority gradually fading, they have already become the world of various races.
It was during this period that the human race rose to be the best. At least in the land where Kant was located, there were not many tyrannical alien races. Even if there were, they were all driven to the remotest corners.
For example, the low-level gnolls in the Nalun Desert.
Or the goblins of the moors of the western moors, and the misfit savages.
Even if there is a dwarf kingdom, it is also in the extreme south, and it is said that it has to go through a deserted wilderness before finally arriving, which is why the salt from the dwarf kingdom is so expensive.
If there is no obstacle and no danger, it will take half a year to go back and forth normally.
If you encounter half-orcs or other aliens.
It could be delayed for a year.
Kant is in no hurry.
His salt trade can go from the Lion Principality to the Silver Plate Kingdom within a month, or directly back and forth.
As long as there are goods, there is no need to worry about sales. Nowadays, all human countries, such as merchant ships on the Reese Niston River, have begun to purchase salt in large quantities. It is completely known that the Principality of Lions has found a new salt mine.
This kind of thing is a profitable business, even if the merchants in the country resell it, they just sit and collect money.
Kant and the others arrived at the port of East County City.
There is a lot of people.
There are wagons full of goods everywhere.
Even the ground of the port is made of neatly cut stones and paved. They are all top-level stone roads, just like the level of ancient passages, so that the carriages carrying goods can travel quickly.
Among them were many merchants wearing luxurious clothes, followed by strong guards.
Judging by the style of the clothes, it doesn't look like a businessman from the Lion Principality.
"It's a nice place."
Rolf licked his tongue slightly salivating.
"Calm down." Kant glanced at him.
As the lord, he knew the careful thinking of his titan, and after thinking about it, he ordered: "Find a place to wait for a while, so that so many troops will not enter the port, so as not to cause trouble."
"Understood." Rolf nodded immediately.
He understands this.
With so many cavalry entering the port, it would be troublesome if something went wrong.
It is still a relatively crowded port space, even if there is a provocation, it cannot be used on a horse.
At that time, even if petty thieves approached and stole their things in the chaos, they would not be able to enter the narrow alleys in the port to pursue them.
All in all, after the cavalry entered the city, there were many restrictions, and they were unnecessary and unwilling to enter.
But Rolf still heard the meaning.
After a little hesitation, he still asked: "Master Kant, you are not planning to go in by yourself again, according to my understanding, Dongjun City is not peaceful, and it is estimated that your identity has also been exposed, and accidents are prone to happen."
"Five lion riders follow me."
Kant was calm: "Nothing will happen."
"Five..." Rolf hesitated even more, looked at the 5-meter-high city wall in front of him, and dissuaded him: "Master Kant, bring 5 more, and you can handle things when you encounter problems."
"That's it." Kant made a final decision.
These 10 lion knights.
That would represent 10 great knights.
Not to mention the port of Dongjun City, even the entire Dongjun territory is considered overbearing.
Let’s talk about whether the highest nobleman in the Eastern County, the Countess of Agatha, can have 10 great knights under her command. The most likely possibility is that there are less than 5, and she is still a novice.
It is not easy to train a great knight, it requires strict inheritance.
It is simply shocking that Kant can mass-produce great knights with some special means.
This is also the advantage brought by Goldfinger.
After all, Kant is backed by countless worlds of riding and hacking.
In this real world, there are few great knights, but in the world of riding and slashing, and the world of high magic, it is still very simple to mass-produce magical knights with magic power. In this world, they are great knights.
Without getting too entangled in this issue, they soon found a suitable place.
An entertainment area outside the port city walls.
That's right.
right here.
In this area close to the city wall, there are five streets full of bars, restaurants and hotels.
Now it was evening, the streets were brightly lit, countless pedestrians were running lazily, and an intoxicating sweetness could be smelled in the air, which was the steam from the dessert bakery.
And of course the intoxicating aroma of wine in bars and restaurants.
And the waitresses in revealing outfits.
Entertainment paradise.
This is where port indulgence comes in.
Many mercenaries are walking here in groups of three or five, with weapons hanging on their bodies, and the bystanders are not afraid at all. Only the elite pikemen who occasionally pass by on the street, wearing high-quality chain mail, use deterrence glanced over.
Here chaos, indulgence, money is everything, and even order has been weakened to the minimum.
The world of the strong and the rich.
no way.
The port is busy.
Those merchants and guards who came here from distant places also need alcohol and women to relieve the pressure of long-term boat rides, and it is easier to lose themselves in this colorful world.
Kant didn't like this environment, but Rolf and the elite cavalry behind him whistled very happily.
It's like life in a booty den in the desert of Sarande.
"Find some hotels."
Kant gave the order.
Glancing at the group of thugs who saw the woman stirring, he said in a deep voice, "Don't go to the bar, don't drink alcohol, watch your wallets, horses, and weapons and equipment, I don't want to find out that there is nothing tomorrow morning .”
"Yes!" The thugs immediately responded with a little helplessness when they heard this.
"clear."
Rolf also nodded helplessly.
However, he still went to the front to find a hotel. With nearly 600 people, he needed a lot of rooms. It was estimated that he could book 5 hotels. As the second-level commander in this team, he also had to manage financial expenses.
