Chapter 332: Local Officials

Early the next morning, Sean got up and packed his things.

Illya slept soundly on the table next to her all night, and only she could fall asleep in this position!

"Get up quickly, the army will be on its way in a moment. ”

Today's Sean is much more physical than ordinary people because of his level promotion, and he goes to bed early and gets up early, or goes to bed late and gets up early.

"Master!" Illya opened her eyes, only to see that Sean was already up.

It's still early days......

But it's already dawn in the desert.

"Prepare, let's continue on our way. Sean didn't care that the other party slept until this time, just gave an order and went to get busy with his own business.

..................

The team will continue to the east.

Wake up early to pack up the tent, it takes more than two hours to get on the road.

That's probably why Melsusa made the party walk a little longer in the evening before setting up camp!

Sean brought a maid with him, thinking that there were rules in the barracks, but no one said it because of his own face...... I didn't expect that Adak's troops didn't have such rules.

In the morning, Mel Susa only prepared a set of dark cloth armor for Illya to make it easier to walk in the army, and the rest did not say anything, and Sean noticed that the soldiers around him did not discuss this matter either.

Everything is normal.

That's the best outcome......

They walked like this for eight days, almost every day they set up camp in the evening when it was almost nightfall, packed their bags and prepared for the road as soon as the day dawned, and for Sean it was necessary to reach Jagon as soon as possible, but whenever there was the slightest chance to hurry, the team should continue to move on.

Eight days.

The team traveled almost the entire desert region......

According to the geographical location and country division of Aidak, and then continue to enter the Ruka district, that is, the country of Ruka.

There are more than a dozen countries in Edak, of which the largest and strongest is of course Jagon, and the rest of the places are basically not big, and the smallest is even a few villages around a city.

As far as the army is concerned, Jagon also controls almost half of the regular army of Adak, and the other half, most of which are bandits such as 'Stinging Serpents' and the Golden Regiment, and the rest is the military strength of the rest of the country.

It can almost be said that several other countries except Jagon are not doing well.

Each develops its own economy, and some even live a little more comfortably, regardless of other things.

So the pace of life in a desert place is slow......

In Sean's opinion, it should be the reason for the relatively backward industry.

As soon as the party arrives in Rukamel, Susa will go to various places to buy food, so that the pterodactyl can eat and fly first, so that they can fly directly to the capital of Jagon without continuing to waste time in the desert.

"So we're going straight into the city?" asked Sean on the way.

Now that the team has moved into the area close to Ruka, pedestrians can be seen around the desert.

It's just that they don't dare to approach the army, and they all stand far away...... Moreover, most of them were caravans carrying goods, and the status of foot merchants in the desert countries was very high.

According to the stories of Edak that Sean had read before, and from the classics, it was not difficult to see that the status of merchants in the Aidak region was not bad, and even higher than that of Zambutar in comparison.

There's a story that says......

Ordinary commoners would rather marry their daughters to merchants selling fruit on the street than to scholars, because the former is more able to provide for the whole family...... However, in the case of the Basharan Empire, perhaps more people will choose the latter, after all, the latter is more likely to gain the favor of the local lord and get a half-official position.

This little difference in reaction shows that in the Adak region, materials are still scarce for ordinary people, which also shows that the productivity is not as good as that of the Zambutar region.

"I think it's better if we don't go into the city. There are too many troops to enter these small cities...... We'll walk around the perimeter of the city and ask the troops to buy some food when the time comes. Melsusa thought for a moment and said.

Although this group of troops is less than 10,000 people, the team with the Pterodactyl and the Iron Hoof Ox looks equivalent to a deterrent, and the average small city is estimated to be not enough for the Iron Hoof Ox and the Pterodactyl to go side by side, so if you don't go in.

"Okay, just wait nearby. Sean said.

Cities in the desert are almost always built near water, and the trees behind the city can be seen from afar, and there should be a lake in that area, otherwise this isolated city in the desert has no water source.

The team rested on the spot near the edge of the city, and Melsusa and Bentari sent quite a few people to the city to procure ......

Water and food are needed, and as long as there is enough food, there is no need to be so hard for the rest of the journey.

To be honest, Sean's conditions were not good when he was in the town, especially in winter and summer, and the worst time was the days when he followed the mercenaries south to Tacoma City.

But it's a different feeling than it is now.

Although Sean has nothing to worry about these days, the climate is grinding......

During the day, I feel sweaty and sticky, but at night it is so cold that I need to add clothes.

Ghost weather!

"Sir, would you like some water?" Illya, beside her, behaved normally, and the inhabitants of the desert seemed to be accustomed to the weather.

"No, you can keep it. ”

The other party kept holding the kettle, almost every day along the way.

As long as you see that you are hot, you will hand it over......

Now that he has arrived in the city, Sean is ready to go to Jagon one step ahead of schedule if the main supplies allow, and he doesn't have to continue to stay on the desert road.

The soldier who had been waiting for a long time to go to the city hurried back and replied.

Originally, there was also food for the skeletal European pterosaur and the iron-hoofed ox in the city, but it was ordered away by the local sheriff a few days ago.

"What? How many people can a sheriff support, and what does he buy so much for?"

"I don't know, when I went to the market to ask, there weren't many left, one or two were okay, but it certainly wasn't enough for so many pterodactyls. The soldier said with some grievances.

"And this kind of thing. Melsusa looked at Bentari on the other side, and the expressions of the two of them were not very good-looking at the moment.

As the two commanders of the Sun King's troops, there are still local sheriffs who don't give face!

"What's the sheriff's name in this city?"

"Arthur Lubin. The soldier said.

"Lubin?

"Is there a problem with this sheriff?" asked Sean.

Of course, there are nobles in the Aidak region, but it is customary to divide the nobles into some official titles, and the local magistrate is similar to the status of a viscount or earl on the border of the Basharan Empire.

"There are also several surnames of Lubin in Jagon City, and the biggest of them is one of the royal ministers under the command of the High King, and this Arthur should also be a member of the Lubin family. Melsusa explained.

So there are people up there.

But Ruka and Jagon are not the same country after all, and he has a family in Jagon, so he can't be so arrogant.

What is a local official in another country doing with so much money to buy supplies?

"Captain, I think the sheriff might want to talk to us...... Melsusa said.

Both thought of it.
