Chapter 14: Journey Interlude
On the official road of the Lane Kingdom, a carriage was driving slowly in the afterglow of the setting sun, and after more than ten days of trekking, the carriage finally drove into the range of the Rus' Territory today.
Although the Rus' Territory was only part of the Bal Province, it was twice the size of the rest of the Bal Province combined, and it stands to reason that such a large and abundant place could never have been an earl's domain.
There are of course deep historical reasons for this phenomenon, once before the Emancipation Proclamation, the Rus' Territory was the largest slave trading market in the Kingdom of Lane, from which slave catchers and mercenaries entered the grasslands and sold their captured game directly to the merchants who heard the news.
Because the orcs are naturally strong, the captured orc slaves are often locked in underground underground dungeons with only one well, and a small water dungeon is often stuffed with nearly a thousand people, the air is filthy, and the food provided is extremely bad, so it is easy to make people infected with various diseases, sick and die or infected with various epidemic diseases, and the orcs are buried alive directly on the spot.
Finally, it was not until one day that a great uprising broke out enough to overthrow the rule of the Kingdom of Lane, and after many defeats, the rebel army even reached the royal capital, and Derek's grandfather, Count Count Old Rus, led the army to the battle, and finally set up an ambush on the Somme River, crushing the rebel army in one fell swoop, and this protracted rebellion was suppressed.
In recognition of the exploits of the old Earl of Ross, and for the sake of someone to bring peace and stability to this sinful place, and of course, to the sinister intentions of some clowns, this rich land, which looked good, but was suppressed by force, became the new domain of the Rose family.
However, to the surprise of the old nobles who were going to see the joke, the old Count Ross had just arrived in the territory, and the royal capital and the Rus had issued the "Emancipation Proclamation of Orc Slaves" at the same time.
The slaves who were emancipated by the proclamation have since survived here with a heart of gratitude to the Rose family, and various other inhuman races, and the Ross Territory has become the safest region of the Lane Kingdom under the rule of the old earl.
"Master, there is our canine village in front of you, can you rest here tonight?" Kaka said excitedly, smelling the air of his hometown.
"Well, let's rest here tonight, Sister Lina, how far are we from Aujin City?" Derek asked the maid sister, looking at the peaceful fishing village in front of him.
I really don't know what kind of painting style the dog clan in this world is, not to gnaw bones, but to do the fisherman's business.
"If it's fast, it'll be there the night after tomorrow. Sister Lina replied while arranging the little princess's hair, the little princess didn't know where to turn out Derek's comics last night, and then it took less than an hour to indulge in it from the initial disdain.
As a result, the little princess read the comics all night and didn't sleep all night, and in the morning, when she greeted Derek with two dark circles under her eyes, Derek was startled.
The comics were drawn by a specially hired artist by Derek according to the memories of his past life, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for his past life.
"Grandpa the village chief, I'm back!" Kaka, who was lying by the window, saw his acquaintance, shouted loudly, and simply jumped out of the window, and Derek hurriedly asked the earth spirit boy who was driving the car to stop.
"Didn't you go to the royal capital to protect the young master, how is the young master?" the village chief with a cane recognized Kaka and asked with concern, maybe because the living conditions were not bad, although the village chief was full of white hair, his face was full of nutrients, and he spoke with full of energy, which made Derek very proud, this is a resident of his own territory.
"Young Master, it's really Young Master, I can be regarded as seeing you, a few days ago I heard that someone was asking for trouble with the young master in the royal capital...... I, I was so anxious that I couldn't eat, hurry up and let Kaka go to the city to protect you, are you okay?"
Under the influence of inertia, the carriage ran forward for a short time and slowly stopped, Derek got out of the carriage, and the old village chief, who was still asking Kaka, threw away his crutches in his hand, and trotted all the way with his legs and feet, and rushed over with three steps and two steps, and hugged Derek, crying silently.
"It's okay, thank you village chief, I sent people away a long time ago. Derek couldn't force himself to break free, so he had to let the village chief wipe his tears and snot on himself.
"I just said that good people have good rewards, I think back then, of course, the old Count Rose was a hero, merciful and unparalleled, even if God is blind, how can he not fall into the end of a person who can be bullied," Speaking of the old Count Rose, the village chief was full of red face.
"As long as the young master gives you an order, as long as everyone in the village can carry a hoe, they will all go to help the young master, who doesn't go, you see the old man, I will personally clean him up......"
The old village chief said that he was upright, grabbed the crutch that Kaka had just picked up and slashed at the stick, which made Derek feel a trace of murderous aura for a moment.
It seems that the old village chief is also a person with a story, at this age, he definitely went to the battlefield with the old earl back then, and he didn't know what credit he made.
"It's really unlucky, I came to this shitty place to collect taxes, and it was really a poor mountain and a bad water, and there were robbers who robbed the nobles of the dignified kingdom?! Damn goblin ......"
While he was talking, a group of knights ran from the other side of the official road outside the village, one by one, like frosted eggplants, and saw the goblin boy sitting in the driver's seat leisurely gnawing on the chicken legs, and was even more angry, so they vented their anger on the innocent goblin, and whipped it on the head.
"Hahaha!" The knights laughed when they saw the goblins rolling on the ground like gourds, and they didn't know where the half-eaten chicken legs had fallen, and they surrounded the goblins in the middle, intending to have some fun.
The goblin boy was beaten out of the carriage for no reason, and said angrily: "Damn, you actually dare to knock off the chicken leg that the young master gave me!"
"Do you hear that? this damn goblin is angry?!!haha......" said a man who seemed to be the leader of the knights, teasing, raising his right hand with a horsewhip, as if intending to teach the goblin a lesson.
"Bang!" "Bang!" was just as the whip in the knight's hand was about to swing it down, when there was an unexpected loud noise, and the horse raised its front hooves uncontrollably, but fell limply to the ground, leaving only a neighing moan.
"Who?!Who would dare to attack His Majesty's officials!" The knight leader was caught off guard, and the other knights took out their weapons one after another, looking at Derek and his party with unkind faces.
"Alas~ What a good horse, it's a pity that it can't be used. As if he were walking in his own backyard, he blew the smoke from the muzzle of his revolver and walked over to the crushed knight.
Bang! Another gunshot rang out, Derek shot the horse in the head, the horse didn't even bark and died, Derek fiddled with the weapon in his hand, and looked at the knight on the ground with an unkind look in his eyes, "Alas, what a good person, it's a pity that I don't know how to be polite~"
"Who are you? Do you know who I am? I am the brother-in-law of the Duke of Mountbatten! Believe it or not, I will report to Lord Mountbatten and kill you!"
