Lord of the Oasis

Exit the Stone Pass and head southwest. When you see the sword-like top of the Death Mountain, turn to the west, and you will reach Fort Avilés in less than a day's journey.

This is the experience summed up by the merchants of the Principality of Lions in the process of doing business.

Often similar routes, businessmen will not easily tell others, this is the secret of the caravan for a living.

It's just that when a certain villainous noble put a machete on the necks of those merchants without hesitation, he easily obtained the specific route and the secret biography of these caravans.

The routes of caravans are all over the Principality of Lions, so proper trade routes are required.

It's the kind that I've seen in the field.

It is more refined than the official territory map of the Principality of the Lion, that is, the territory map collected in the Lion Castle, especially in the vicinity of certain commercial centers or areas with special products, the business map of the merchants is more accurate in detail.

As for Aviles Fort, this military town in the Eastern County, it is naturally included.

All the way west.

Dirt roads that are easily trampled are very rough.

In other words, the Principality of Lions does not have the habit of building roads. These so-called roads are sturdy roads that have been trampled on by people for a long time. No one has really repaired them at all, and bumps are inevitable.

This is a deliberate act to prevent the enemy from marching.

Roads can speed up travel.

For example, on the edge of the Sangwaya Mountains, from the city of "Aaron" to the mountain pass, the paved road built by Kant is made of small stones, which are strong and smooth.

Such a paved road can provide travel progress several times higher than ordinary mountain roads.

Originally nearly the entire daytime travel time.

Relying on this paved road, it is very convenient and quick to arrive in a half-day.

This is beneficial to improve the level of trade. After all, caravans such as carriages, pack horses, and camels are all loaded with goods and can walk on paved roads, which are far better than rugged mountain roads or even no roads.

Feasible progress is both a convenience and a hassle.

Especially in the military role.

Since the caravan can go fast, so can the army.

And it can quickly dash along well-built roads, or even directly reach the destination for deployment.

This is true for one's own troops, and the same is true for the enemy's troops. The road has been built and can be used by anyone, and the enemy is naturally the same.

Especially the Principality of the Lion and the Great Enemy of the Silver Plate Kingdom.

Building roads is naturally not a concern.

The lion principality, which is dominated by cavalry, does not need to worry about the problem of troop assembly. A warhorse with four hooves can walk faster than a two-legged person, even if there is no road, it can move fast.

The Silver Plate Kingdom is different.

The kingdom's arms are diverse, although there are cavalry, but also mainly infantry.

The Knights are the main force, but the elite infantry is also the main force. Often during the field battle, the Knights of the Principality of Lions have not yet defeated the Knights of the Silver Plate Kingdom, and their own troops, the infantry used to maintain the front, have been defeated.

This is also the key reason for the fiasco on the south bank of the Rhysniston River ten years ago.

Just to the North Shore.

Taking advantage of the troops of the Silver Plate Kingdom to attack halfway, and Viscount Gibran of Aviles Fort, they fought desperately to hold back the main Knights of the Silver Plate Kingdom, and because Baron Dylan betrayed the Silver Plate Kingdom, he provided false information. .

This formed a great victory on the north bank of the Reissniston River, and also counterattacked the south bank and regained the two lost castles.

Barely maintained the decency of the lion principality.

therefore.

The Principality of Lions is even less concerned about the construction of roads.

Although it affects domestic trade, there is the famous river of trade, the Reisniston River, even if the 6-way trade declines, it is acceptable to rely on the profit brought by river trade, which is not low!

It took a long time to see a caravan while riding a horse on a rough dirt road.

All are extremely vigilant.

More than a dozen carriages, more than 50 laborers with nail sticks.

And a dozen or so cavalry in leather armor, armed with spears and swords,

Although it looks nondescript, between mercenaries and regular army, but the action is also very neat and neat, is a very good caravan escort.

The security situation in East County is slightly better, and there are no large-scale robber gangs.

But see Kant and their cavalry.

Everyone was horrified.

Especially those elite robbers who swept across the desert were rebellious and fierce, and their hearts beat faster. If it wasn't for Kant and the others, they had no intention of stopping, and they would almost have taken the lead in launching a counterattack!

But even if they counterattack, there is no chance of winning, and Kant's numerical advantage is here.

5oo elite desert robbers are rampant.

This is a powerful level in a bandit group or a mercenary.

After all, these are all cavalry, not infantry, and they can flee on horseback even if they are beaten. Moreover, spears, scimitars, short javelins, and iron-inlaid leather armor are readily available.

Ordinary wealthy small landlords can only collect this equipment.

Not everyone can be a cavalryman.

Just raising war horses is a costly affair, and equipment is second.

Today, Kant's cavalry team can be used as the main force among mercenaries. After all, ordinary mercenaries do not have the same level of force as knight servants, and the previous Gale mercenary group was all composed of knight servants and knights. There are also 2 big knights, which is really a special case.

Everyone knows that the force behind the Gale mercenary group is Countess Ai Jiasha of the East County Leader. The reason why this mercenary group is released is actually to warn the nobles of the North County Leader and the South County Leader to show their strength.

Unspoken unspoken rules.

Even now.

Among those caravans, Kant and his cavalry left without the slightest intention of looting, and they understood it in their hearts.

Perhaps this is the private soldier of a certain noble.

Their guess was right.

It's just that these cavalry of Kant are completely low-level light cavalry, not his main cavalry. If the real main cavalry arrives, thousands of Swadian heavy cavalry, the scale of the march will be even more terrifying!

Even people and horses are wearing a full set of heavy armor, and the hooves of the horses are as terrifying as floods and earthquakes.

certainly.

Kant had no interest in these caravans.

Rolfe was still a little interested, but he did not act rashly because of the idea of ​​​​walking fast.

If something goes wrong and the local nobles in the East County Territory notice, they will be rounded up. After all, this is not the North County Territory, and it is far from the Stone Pass, so reinforcements cannot always appear.

Most importantly, Aviles Fort is in front.

Viscount Gibran.

This old famous general is not a vegetarian, and the elites under him also make Kant slightly afraid.

The ability to be faintly independent from the traditional ruling power of the Lion Principality is not due to the closure of Countess Agatha, but also the elite troops in the hands of Viscount Gibran, which are enough to deter any enemy!

1ooo's knights, 3ooo's elite infantry.

It was the seed troops trained by the troops that survived the bloody battle ten years ago.

Definitely not bad in combat.

It is said that it also refers to the training method of infantry in the Yinpan Kingdom. It is extremely powerful in combat. With a 4-meter spear, it forms a phalanx of spears. Even ordinary knights dare not approach it easily.

Not to mention that the frontal force of the spear formation will definitely cause heavy casualties.

It's approaching evening.

Kant finally arrived near Fort Avilés.

On the flat field ahead, the top of the slightly raised hill, the towering castle is being built on it, the arrow towers and towers are stacked on top of each other, and the thick city walls are added, and the defense is perfect.

The dim light of the setting sun sprinkled on the castle, and the visual impact it brought was no less than that of Kant's castle.

The only viscount in the East County Territory.

Also the only castle.

Viscount Gibran of Avilés.

Kant knocked on the horse's belly lightly and continued to lead the team forward. Just under the castle, there was a green smoke rising, which was the smoke rising from the village of the peasants who depended on the castle to survive.

The castle also needs farmers to supply daily necessities.

What's more, it can be recruited in wartime.

It is also common to form shabby armed militias or recruit farmers to act as cannon fodder to briefly resist the enemy's attack, ease the pressure on the main force, and adjust tactical arrangements as soon as possible to make up for the deficiencies.

Now Kant is going to the village, not to fight, but to rest.

Accommodation or temporary camping.

Their identity is mercenary, by the way to find out if the castle is willing to hire them.

Of course, the price will definitely be high, and even if Avilesburg is willing to hire, it is impossible to negotiate a cooperation in the end.

Kant came here just to observe and observe the castle. It would be better if he could see Viscount Gibran. His real purpose was to go to the core of the East County Territory, that is, the East County City.

A city standing on the north bank of the Reisniston River, one of the only two cities in the Principality of Lions.

It is also the only city in East County.

It is also a commercial city, a port city, and the first stop for many businessmen from the Reisniston River to come to the Principality of Lions. It used to be the East County City, but after the Countess Agatha blocked the connection with the outside world, more commercial economy The influx of Lion Heart City in Nanjun County helped the royal family to increase the tax revenue several times.

In fact, there is a reason for it. Kant understands that the bandits of the Reisniston River are arrogant and tight in the river section where the East County City is located. After all, the south bank is Narburg, which has become the region of the Silver Plate Kingdom.

The existence of the river bandits is also the reason why the Yinpan Kingdom indulged and attacked the Lion Principality.

Kant also has some connections with the river bandits.

Once Princess Sophia's old department was left outside, it was another chess piece.

He came to Dongjun Territory to see what had changed in this closed territory. The purpose was to approach Borg in Dongjun City, activate this former chess piece, and complete the strategic deployment.

The North County Territory has basically been infiltrated by Kant.

Next is the East County Leader.

Controlling the land of the two counties, the final southern county leader could not escape Kant's infiltration in the end.

As long as the final strength of the troops is sufficient and the infiltrated nobles and nobles are contacted, the Principality of Lions will eventually be slowly eroded by warm boiled frogs and become the territory of Kant.

What's more, there is the ancient passage connecting the Risniston River underground in the East County Territory.

Although I don't know where it leads to the Reisniston River.

Absolutely very important. ()
