The voice of this question was a little louder, and even the vigil candle flame seemed to be slightly affected, and somehow, the light coming from his room first trembled slightly, and then as if it could no longer be maintained, it was completely extinguished, and it fell into darkness again.

Conan was very reserved, if it weren't for the fact that he was just wearing a vest now, his hair was messy and dusty, and he didn't even know where a few leaves came from.

This made Vidia feel a little sore, he was a real owner in Marcus's manor, but back in his hometown, everyone still treated him as a child.

"Your Excellency, since you're here...... That is, the steppe people walked along the green water river?"

"I can't get a charter ticket, and even to be honest, I haven't seen those 'enemies', but I'd like to believe that they're over there, and that nine times out of ten they're going to go along the Green River. ”

Conan's words were a little ambiguous, and the few guards around him couldn't help but be a little confused, they couldn't make up their minds, so they had to look at Vidia again, after all, they were all soldiers brought out by José's knights, and it didn't seem to be a big mistake to listen to his son at the moment.

"I'm the same as Davis. It's urgent, and I'm going to see my father right now. ”

"I'm afraid this ,,, won't work. The guard looked at Vidia, who was starting to get agitated, and suddenly felt a little panicked, he swallowed his saliva, and continued: "Lord José, he has taken a group of people to the Green Water River today,,,, he is going to patrol over there. Why don't we send troops to Lord José immediately?"

"No!" At this time, the two teenagers said in unison. "Although I deeply regret what happened to the Knight Jose now, but defending the city is the most important thing at the moment, and besides, the color is not yet bright, and the situation outside is not very clear, in case it is broken by the nomads in batches......"

Vedia glanced at Conan with a somewhat disdainful look, and then followed his words, and added a little reluctantly: "According to Jose's habit, now that he is leading troops to patrol, it must be that all the cavalry that can be used in the city has been transferred." Now when I go out to help him, I can only send out some infantry, so that the manpower of the city defense will not be enough, and it will take half a day to wait for the infantry to run to the Lushui River. My father's ability is obvious to all, and if I go after a long time, it will be nothing more than two results. Either help him carry the spoils of war or bury him, obviously these tasks will not require a few people. ”

The guard nodded, beckoning the two boys to follow him to meet the greatest ruler of Valuno.

Although on the surface, the town's citizen self-defense force has a captain, but the actual control of the army is still firmly in the hands of Mayor Hams, the soldiers first listen to the command of the knight Jose, followed by the dispatch of Mayor Hams, the captain can still appear to be very status when talking to the general public, but in fact he is a sergeant major, that is, the existence of the usual norms and regulations.

At this time, it is summer, even if it does not rain, there is always a feeling of fluffiness on the ground. This is true on the roads outside the city, on the meadows, on the river beaches, and even more so in the forests. But only when I walked into the city, I only felt that my feet were light.

The town's only main thoroughfare is littered with all sorts of garbage, especially as the market flourishes, and even in winter, you can still smell a faint smell of rot.

But now it was true that the mud of the past was gone, and for a moment, Vidia stepped on the streets of the city, and there was a wonderful strange blessing

Conan was also amazed, so he simply reached out and touched the ground of the street, and heartily buckled a piece from it and put it in the palm of his hand.

When the guards saw this, they did not think it was strange, the merchants who came and went, the peasants and hunters who came and went, when they saw this road, did things that were many times more exaggerated than these two, and when they first met, they were also a little novel, and it was not strange to see them a few more times.

They didn't dare to urge the knights and lords to hurry, but they thought a little higher of the mayor's image in their hearts.

Of course, what they think in their hearts is naturally not known by those two. Vedia had her father in her heart, so she just stomped her foot lightly on the ground and praised it for being strong, and that's it. Conan was thinking like a demon, crushing the clod of soil in his hand for a while, and sticking it together with saliva for a while, and even showing a bit of seriousness on his face.

"The north does not produce stone mines, but it can still pave such a clean road, I really don't know what material it is, it's just a soil, and it's sticky. ”

One of the guards who followed them smiled a little curiously, "Didn't you think this could be a miracle for Sardin?"

"Don't be so blasphemous next time, guard, I know Satin doesn't care about that. Conan shook his hand vigorously, trying to see the scene of the dirt in his hand falling to the ground, and the dirt first stagnated in his hand for a moment, and finally fell down in pieces.

"Well, I can't believe that there are good things that Abbasquia can't find here. Cyporus Alpine Soil. I thought it was only found in the extreme south of Cyphorus, but I didn't expect it to be produced here, and this soil is only used to pave roads?"

"Well, I've heard that there are other plans, but for various reasons, they are still not very successful. Why, Lord Davis, is interested in one?"

Conan took a deep breath to calm himself. "I'm going to have to talk to Master Hams about that later. But now it is still necessary to prepare to deal with the steppe people. ”

After hearing Conan's words, Vidia put down the fist hidden behind her back and showed a "bright" smile to Conan.

"It seems you remember that we rode your horse with three paces and two paces, and traveled all night, not to be here and with a mud rake. ”

After such an episode, Mayor Hams had already finished freshening up and walked out of a huge house in a loose gown. After rubbing his eyes repeatedly, he asked in some surprise, "Benguela, Davis." It's not that the old eyes are not good, why did you come here together, and it was still at this time. ”

For a while, Conan and Vedia couldn't think of where to start, and they had a thousand things in their minds, but they couldn't find which thing to do first.

Seeing this, the guards on the side hurriedly rushed up and whispered, which solved the embarrassment of the time they had just met.

The mayor took a water-soaked towel and wiped his face, and asked with some confusion: "Is there only one team?"

"Lord Mayor, the Prairie people are also a very powerful race, they have very terrifying warriors, and this labor expedition must be some elite ......."

"Uncle Hams, don't be careless. ”

Hams looked at the two young men who were almost jumping up in a hurry, and a rare smug smile appeared on his face. "I don't know many people in the army, but in terms of combat experience, no one can compare to our Jose Knight. I can't raise my sword to defend our territory like he did, I'm just a merchant, and in addition to being rich, a merchant has only one advantage left, and that is that he has enough friends. Yesterday morning, the owners of several caravans had already discovered that an army had entered our territory for unknown reasons, and I discussed the matter with the Knight José. He did not go alone, but led nearly fifty brave mercenaries, presumably with full certainty. ”

"But we've just heard from the guards, and my father is only ......on patrol," Vedia became a little anxious, "only fifty people, too few, and I don't know if I'll be eaten whole." ”

"No, it's an army trained by your father, and it's all equipped with high-quality pack horses, even if it's more than enough to deal with three or four times as many enemies as them, how can it be impossible to contain a dozen or twenty wranglers. ”

Mayor Hams has always been known for his composure when he was still a businessman, and after serving as the canonized mayor of the empire, he has another kind of free bearing, but this matter involves the business of military and politics, and it is indeed beyond his ability to understand.

"There are too many variables on the battlefield, and the selection of the battlefield at this moment, although it is in our territory, but we can't understand the specific location of the enemy. Since my father was in the name of patrolling, it was inevitable to divide his troops to explore the area. Fifty knights crammed into the streets would have blocked the road, but if it were scattered over two or three baronies. ”

While doing this, Vidia glanced at Conan, who didn't speak out to defend himself, and snorted coldly. "It's like the peasants scattered across Lord Davis's territory, you can see their shadows, but you can't find anyone. ”

Mayor Hams's face turned pale in an instant, and even a man who had never fought at all could understand what that meant.

"They're likely to be broken one by one, and eventually lose contact with Pets, and then be forced out of the battlefield, to put it mildly, like the Weygan dogs we've seen, scurrying around the Northlands. ”

"What about Lord José Knight, he is skilled in martial arts, will he also suffer this catastrophe?" the mayor paused, obviously, he still had a trace of illusion about José Knight's ability, compared to José Knight, those mercenaries were just piles of gold coins, and their savings were not a large pile. As long as his ally, the knight José lives, he and his son's mayors will not waver.

It is precisely with the idea of continuing to marry the descendants of the Jose Knight that Hams will maintain a humble face in front of Vedia.

In the face of Vidia's taunts, Conan seemed to ignore them, and his eyes still looked at the mayor. Vedia didn't notice the slightest hint of forbearance, but Conan saw it clearly.

If he wasn't mistaken, the mayor would have been in favor of coming to the aid of José's knights.

Shaking his head unconsciously, Vedia replied in the affirmative: "My father must have lived and died with his army, and he loved fighting even more than his own life. ”

"Then let's send a team of soldiers to meet him. The mayor wiped the cold sweat on his face and said tentatively.

"Yes, let's go pick up Master José, for whatever reason, we can't watch him die on the river stall. Without waiting for Vedia to reply, Conan said categorically.

"I also ask the Lord Mayor to give me an order, that although there are no warriors in my domain, even every farmer is ready to die for you! I do not want to see a noble knight die for our indifference, and until now my only mount has been given to me by Lord José himself. ”

Vedia looked at this peer who changed his face faster than a book with some surprise, and as his anger brightened up a little, a trace of the idea of saving his father also surged in his heart, but in order to consider the stability of the town, he still suppressed this idea as much as possible, and the deliberate failure to respond to the mayor just now was also a manifestation of his opposition to this plan. He thought that Conan would reject the mayor's opinion on his behalf, but he didn't realize that he was more of a pro-militant than the mayor.

The mayor nodded with satisfaction, he walked up to Conan in two steps, held his hand tightly, and said with some excitement: "Sardin must be grateful for our piety." But he soon added in a more voice: "I am willing to exchange a team of guards from the town for José's spare life, and at the same time, if there is any loss in your territory, I will try to compensate you, remember, I only want the knight of Jose to come back safely." ”

Conan broke away from the mayor's hand, patted off the dust he had stuck to his body, and said with a serious attitude: "Yes, my lord, as your native Brother Mender left in the town, Satin always favors the warriors, and rest assured, Lord José will be fine as well." ”

The guards standing on the side looked at Conan and Mayor Hams, and a pride also rose in their hearts, after all, many of them had defeated the Wegenrao warriors who were on a par with the Snowwolves in the Northland, and at this moment they were facing the Prairie People, and it would be an insult to them to admit defeat if they were not told to fight the Prairie People.

"I now have 300 men on my disposal, all of them trained and qualified guards, and besides, if necessary, I have the means to get you five hundred citizen warriors, who, though they may be slightly inferior in quality, are equally willing to fight to protect the city. I'll give you eight hundred, promise me, drive the steppe people away, and then return with our mercenary warriors. ”

Everyone
