Chapter 125: The Southeastern Region
The Mercenary Guild, which Sean had encountered earlier when he was in Telemian.
The Mercenary Guild belongs to a civil organization, and it is unknown whether there is a higher-level relationship in each country, and it is always necessary for the local guild to have a good relationship with the local lord if it wants to get more resources.
Originally, Telemien was not suitable for establishing a stronghold for the Mercenary Guild, but at the request of Arya Hamil at that time, the Guild finally made a stronghold in the town.
But one thing to say, Sean is actually very grateful to Alya in this regard.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, Sean has not forgotten the things that are helpful to his town. Maybe it's this that in a few years, some of the town's kids will walk out because they saw the mercenaries.
In fact, Sean still hopes that the children in his town can come out......
Just like the old coachman said at the beginning, although most people end up with nothing and choose to go back, there are always a few people who will achieve something.
It's nice to have one or two people in a small town, or you won't have a helper by your side for many years.
At present, Sean hopes that there will be another trustworthy person around him to give advice......
"Is it serious?" he said, looking at Harry.
"It's hard to say. Because it was raining all this time, but it had been a long time since I heard from there, plus the prince and the duke had issued the same order...... So ......"
"So what?"
Sean looked at the other party, who had already appeared in a state of [temptation!].
It turns out that I said so much this time to get the news from my own mouth.
"So...... I think something should be going on over there. Harry plucked up his courage and said.
No matter what the other party's family background is, he is just an ordinary person now, and it is impossible to know about the affairs of the southeastern region, especially the things that the nobles discussed the day before yesterday.
"You're right, there's something going on over there. ”
Sean didn't hide it, but wanted to see how the other party reacted.
Harry was startled, then immediately quieted......
"Sure enough, I don't think I heard anything about the southeast in a while. He said to himself.
"How long are you talking about?"
Harry glanced up at Sean, then lowered his head again and didn't speak.
"It's okay, I'm curious about it. "I can see that the other party is [tempting!] myself, and I want to know more information.
It just so happened that Sean also wanted to get other information from the other party, and it was beneficial for him to test each other like this, because once he saw that the other party was in a state of [lying!], he didn't have to worry about it.
"In the last half month, the southern part of the Middle East is the most special in the southern part of the empire, and the corresponding area is wider...... The Edak region has a large number of rich places and cities, so it is the most mercenary place relative to the rest of the country. ”
Speaking of geographical location, Sean has no reference in his heart, because he has never seen the territory of the Basharan Empire.
"Does this library have a map of the Empire?" asked suddenly.
"Yes. ”
"Show me!"
Since the Erudito Library is where scholars live, it should have these things.
"Wait a minute, sir. Harry said as he rummaged through the stacks of bookshelves next door, and soon came over with a larger scroll of vellum.
His familiarity with the library once again made Sean feel that he should be one of the staff members, and most likely a scholar.
"Your Excellency, please look at this ......"
Harry opened it on the table.
It's hard to have a worldwide map of the world, not because it's hard to draw, but because it's hard to collect accurate data.
Because it is too far away, this kind of engineering is a difficult task to rely on a certain Erudito Guild......
"This is the map of the entire Zambutar map, there are a total of five countries in it, and this is our Basharan Empire. He pointed to the central area.
Which part of the Bashalam Empire is exactly in the middle......
In fact, it is one of the best among the five countries, but Sean didn't expect that the Basharan Empire was actually a 'country of four wars'!
Such a country would not know how to survive without frontier defense, no wonder the Grand Duke would have seemed so [uneasy!] at that time......
"This is the southern region. Harry pointed to the Guide's place again.
The Basharan Empire's version is of a mango, that irregular oval shape, and the whole southern region is exactly that protruding part.
Because the other surrounding countries are also irregular, it just so happens that the other three are above the north, and in the eyes of Xiao Shi, there is a large section of mountains to the west.
The map field of view is displayed at the scale of the map drawn......
Drawing a city will of course show the architecture of the whole city, a country will of course show the topography of the country, and if the scope is extended to a continent like Zambutar, it will of course show a wider picture.
Only large mountains and lakes can be clearly seen, including the areas around large cities.
Anyway, it can be seen as a satellite topographic map......
On the border with the western country there is a long Hengduan mountain range that stretches almost all the way to where the map is not visible.
This should be the location of the western plateau they say, since it is icy and snowy, the altitude must be very high, which means that it is sparsely populated, and the south side is desolate, and the border with another small country is mostly loess-based, of course, it may also be stone, anyway, there is very little vegetation and there are not many cities.
On the contrary, there is a plain to the southeast, and although the area is also covered with loess, it has many urban markers, which means that it is a place where the population is concentrated.
"The southeast borders the Edak region, so there are often trade caravans from the two countries coming in and out, and the mercenary groups can also get some foreign items there, so there is often contact, even if it is in the rainy season in the past, there will not be no news for half a month, so now the mercenary guild is also worried...... In fact, long before the Grand Duke and the Prince issued the conscription, there were already people who wanted to send people over to take a look, but ......"
"It's just that there's no money, so no one goes?" said Sean.
Mercenaries are free organizations after all, and if there is no money to be made, who will go so far on a rainy day.
Harry smiled awkwardly at Sean's statement.
Of course, the nobles did not have to worry about spending money, but once they were commoners, they had to fight on the front line every day.
"That'...... Something about the Southeast. ”
"Actually, I don't know much, it's about the same as you know, that's why I wanted to come over and ask about the situation over there...... One more thing, do you know where the mercenary team in Rietis City is?"
