Today is a special day for Novgorod.

With the withdrawal of the Teutonic Knights, the maritime trade in the northern port city could finally continue, and in addition to the joy of being away from the war, the inhabitants of Novgorod looked forward to the reopening of the road to wealth.

For several months, the blockade of the Holy Roman Empire caused a temporary interruption of maritime trade, which dealt a major blow to Novgorod commerce. Fortunately, the blockade was a double-edged sword, and the Holy Roman Empire suffered huge losses at home and had to abandon its plans.

And the citizens who have been looking forward to it can finally let go of their hanging hearts.

On the side of the Novgorod harbor, heavy artillery roared, and fireworks exploded in the sky, staining the sky red.

The townspeople flocked to the harbor, and a steamer slowly sailed into the port, it was the freighter of the Free City Alliance, and the first ship to come here today, loaded with goods from the West, which was what the Novgorodians needed most. The cheering Rus' men held flowers in their hands and waited for the freighter to break anchor and stop.

At this time, Constance Dante also mixed in with the crowd, and although he had no intentions, Cons Dante still shook off the surveillance of the people installed by General Kurak.

In contrast, he prefers to be a little more free like this.

At this moment, the sound of steam was heard, and in the distance, an even larger warship slowly approached the harbor, its huge body immediately attracted everyone's attention, and at this moment, the Rus' soldiers who rushed over also dispersed the huddled citizens.

This is a battleship, and the previous freighter can be described as small in comparison.

People couldn't help but talk about it, wondering where the battleship came from. After all, there are few such things as battleships that even Western countries have, and many people have seen this kind of sea hegemon for the first time. What's even more amazing is that this battleship didn't even have a flag, you must know that if you don't fly the flag at sea, you will be treated as a pirate, of course, no one will treat such a sea overlord as a pirate ship.

It was clear that the people on board did not want to reveal their identities. It's just that if you can use such a battle, you will definitely not be an idle person! Constance Dante thought to himself silently. After all, this battleship is priceless.

Suddenly, Constance Dante subconsciously touched his head.

"Ha~ Isn't it the first time I've seen you?" Constance Dante smiled self-deprecatingly and muttered to himself, "Who the hell are you, Constance Dante?" ”

"Constance Dante-kun, I didn't expect us to meet again!" A powerful palm rested on Constance Dante's shoulder.

What people!?

Constance, Dante was startled and subconsciously turned his head, only to see the face of the attractive man. If you put on a gorgeous dress, then this man is a perfect aristocrat. It's just that even if his hair is neatly combed, his mustache is carefully trimmed, and even perfume is sprayed, this inferior costume still exposes the embarrassment of this man's life, and even the cigarettes he smokes are inferior.

Cons Dante definitely didn't expect that it would be the man standing behind him at this time!

"Oginets!?" Constance Dante said with some consternation.

It was the same Rose man who had tried to woo himself to the North Wind mercenaries.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to actually come here!" Oginets snuffed out his half-smoked cigarette and patted Consitine on the back and laughed, but there was subtlety in the man's eyes.

"I was able to escape from the hands of the Teutonic Knights, and I really didn't see the wrong person! Constance Dante-kun, are you ready to join us this time? Now [North Wind] is in great need of people like you to join. If you have the ability, the whole world will extend an olive branch to him. Oginets laughed and once again began to woo Constance and Dante to join his side.

"Forget it!" Constance Dante refused dryly, although he said that he had met the person he wanted to find before, but when he really saw it at the moment, Constance Dante was a little indifferent, not to mention that he had promised Kulak that they would stay in the Polish mission temporarily, and he really didn't want to have too much to do with these mercenary groups.

"By the way, what about the villagers?" In comparison, Uncle Chuikov's safety is more concerned about Constance Dante, after all, they have been together for a long time before, and if there is any mishap, Constance Dante will regret it for the rest of his life.

"Don't worry, after all, I had an agreement with you before, so those people were all placed outside the city, but so many people are really choked, and it is not good to send them back to their original hometown, and we can't raise them in vain. Why don't you consider joining us? Our regimental commanders have always been generous, especially capable people! "Oginnetz's meaning is already obvious, dozens of old and weak women and children are indeed a lot of expenses, but if Constance Dantin is willing to join them, it will not be a problem.

"No, thank you. I'll take care of their placement myself. Thank you for your help before. Constance Dante politely refused, he didn't want to have anything to do with mercenaries, mecha or something, Constance Dante couldn't touch it if he could. Waiting for the event to come to an end, Consité Dante decided to settle down in the city. As for the resettlement of the villagers, he thought that the Poles would help him.

Despite this rejection, Oginnetz still had a sparkling smile on his face, and did not seem to be discouraged by Constance Dante's stubborn refusal. "Oh well! I'll tell you their addresses later. ”

As soon as Oginnets finished speaking, the crowd moved, and the Rus soldiers dispersed the crowd except for a wide passage, and a luxurious steam limousine was heading towards it. Suddenly, all the voices fell silent, and everyone held their breath and didn't say a word.

Constance Dante looked at the people around him curiously, what kind of person would have such an aura.

"He's coming! The guardian of the city is also the owner of the city, at least nominally, I think it's the first time you've seen it! ”

The limousine finally stopped, and the soldier stepped forward and opened the door, and out of the carriage came a rather young man, not like an ordinary aristocratic politician, but rather a general accustomed to charging into battle. And he was the Grand Duke of Novgorod, the consul of the city - Alexander Neusky. (To be continued.) )
