The First Arrival: Chapter 18: Leisure Time (2)
Manid made the most of the money, spending 300 dinars to buy a carriage, using 150 dinars to recruit 10 new Vicchian soldiers, and bringing a few old friends from the past, all of whom were masters of business, and the rest of the dinars bought cheap iron, even so, this iron was still of better quality than the expensive iron in many places, and it would not be a loss.
For convenience, Yi Ye also handed over his only pack horse to Manid, who was so moved that he almost knelt down. He couldn't understand why this new acquaintance trusted him so much.
After saying goodbye to him, Yi Ye went to the street to enjoy this beautiful snow scene, the scorching sun elsewhere, but here there is only a moment of comfort, the snow on the treetops gradually melted, turned into water droplets and dripped on the snow, the perennial snow is still not so easy to melt, the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, it seems that many people are going to enter this town.
While it's not too busy now, Yi Ye has something to ask the mayor. Almost every mayor of the town has connections, and their news is no worse than that of the others.
After looking for a few streets and asking a few passers-by, Yi Ye found the mayor's residence.
"Hello, is it the mayor?"
"Yes, lad, who are you? Can I help you? ”
The mayor of the town looked at Yi Ye thoughtfully, like a wise man.
"My name is Yi Ye, and I'm here to ask about something today."
"Tell me about it."
"What happened to the battle between the Nord Kingdom and the Svadia Kingdom in mid-May?"
"Young man, we adults have stipulated that it is forbidden to talk about the affairs of other countries."
"Rude, Mayor Mare, do you have any news of Mr. Fatis?"
"Inquire about the nobles, Yi Ye, you know, this is never free." Mayor Mare rubbed his hands together.
"Yes, Mayor, if you have news, it's 5 dinars, please laugh."
"Now he is imprisoned in Sagos, but I have heard that someone took a ransom to ransom him"
"yes, it could be his family." Yi Ye couldn't tell whether he was happy or lost.
"Yi Ye, if your friend is a nobleman, you don't have to worry about these things, it's just that if your friend is a commoner, then you hardly have to look for it."
"Mr. James, Ms. Desaivi, I'm sorry, I'm ashamed of you......" Yi Ye muttered quietly.
"Mr. James, you mean the famous doctor, James?" The mayor suddenly asked Yi Ye in surprise.
"Yes."
"James's medical skills can be ranked on the list in the mainland, once my injuries were treated by him, at that time I almost spent all my savings and did not heal, just a meal of dinar, he used some herbs and needles to cure me, so to speak, he is my benefactor."
"Yes, Mayor Town, I used to be a mercenary captain, and Mr. James was framed and lived on the streets in Viruga, and I was short of doctors at the time, so I let him join my team."
"I understand. Easy leaves. The mayor was in awe.
"I'll make an exception to talk to you this time. Haraus's actions this time, whether it was the attack on Wiruga or the battle on the Nord border, his prestige was greatly reduced. It is known that the battle of Viruga can go down in history, but it is also known that it was bought with the lives of a large number of mercenaries and civilians, and that Haraus's act of preserving himself will not be supported by the people. ”
"Secondly, the battle on the Nord border was won by Svadia in the end, but the same order of death was from low to high, and the few troops that survived at the end were all elites, and most of them were the elites of Harlaus, you imagine that the elites stood behind them and watched, while the recruits who were unfamiliar with the battle had to charge, who could obey such a king." The mayor said with some anger.
"Yes, Mayor Mare, I'm a mercenary, but I know it."
"You keep the 5 dinars, and as for your friend James, I will do my best to find him, but I can't do anything about the lady Desaivi you mentioned. Also, don't spread the news everywhere, and don't say that I said it. ”
"Sure, Mayor, goodbye."
"Yi Ye, if you have anything to do in this town, just come to me."
"I will."
Mr. Tojames's blessing, Yi Ye has a great relationship in Kulauke, and it will be much easier to do things in the future.
In addition to asking around for news, Yi Ye spent most of his time in the arena practicing his sword skills, and he was also familiar with the bow and crossbow. He was disappointed in his weakness.
After a day of training, Yi Ye quickly went back to the tavern and lay down and fell asleep.
On the 17th, a large influx of people into the city also brought a lot of news.
Easily, Yi Ye inquired about the news that Akul of Kujit and his troops had sacked the villages around Vekia, and not only that, but the surrounding areas of other countries had not escaped. Seeing that the war of various countries against the Kugit Khanate was about to break out.
This Lord of Agull is now known to everyone, the title of the number one war madman in the continent is going to be buckled on his head, especially the lords who have been sacked by him have already gathered their forces to rush back, and his lightest punishment now is to be exiled by Saiga Khan, otherwise he will definitely be caught and tortured by someone, even if he is a nobleman.
Yi Ye wanted to visit this grassland country, but more importantly, the horses there were cheaper, so Yi Ye could form his own cavalry troops.
The Kugit people are naturally good at horseback riding, almost everyone can ride a horse, the army is formed quickly, everyone has a bow, and they wear leather armor that can be made by civilians, and their combat effectiveness is not low. Their light cavalry is lightly armed, and their horses are not heavily armoured, so their mobility is particularly high, and theoretically the Swadian heavy cavalry can't touch these light cavalry, so they should have a great advantage, but Kugit has never eaten any good fruit in the war with him, which is a little puzzling.
The Kugit Khanate is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and the problem of Xiangma has not yet been resolved, and if war is declared on many countries at the same time, the losses will be immeasurable. The countries are waiting for the next step of Saiga Khan before making a decision.
After all, both the Svadia Kingdom and the Nord Kingdom were seriously injured, and they did not dare to start a war easily.
During the time when Manid returned, Yi Ye practiced his swordsmanship hard, and took this opportunity to familiarize himself with the structure of the city, compared to the luxurious Paraven and Uxhall, this Kulau is slightly insufficient, but it is still magnificent enough, perhaps because of the developed archers of Vecchia, the castle they build is always divided into several levels, that is, to prevent the army from collapsing after the enemy breaks through the city wall, this multi-level structure can allow more archers to stand on it, in order to obtain a favorable terrain, so that It will take a lot of effort to get back the castle that was captured by Vecchia.
Yi Ye looked at this town, and couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.
"Well, it would be nice to have my own territory sometime."
Yi Ye thought like this.
