Although the garrison in the Shenfeng Fortress is only half of what it was when it was full, because south of the Shenfeng Fortress is the vast and rich Jiamu County, and Jiamu County has four whole divisions of the standing army, as well as several divisions of the militia, so if there is really a war, the Shenfeng Fortress can fill the garrison in just two days, and store food in the warehouse for more than 50,000 people to survive for more than three months. ’

'What about the north of the Shenfeng Fortress, I heard that there is a one called Xiangcheng?' Rick couldn't help but ask, after all, the former Xiangcheng and the surrounding land were all his own fiefdoms.

'Ten years ago, there was a radius of about fifty miles north of the Shenfeng Fortress, all of which were the territory of the Blue Moon Empire and belonged to Jiamu County, but since the end of the war ten years ago, the empire has actually given up the right to control the north of the Shenfeng Fortress, neither withdrawing the officials there, but also not emphasizing the sovereignty over that territory, fortunately, this territory is located at the node of the sphere of influence of the Shuka Kingdom, the Skylark Kingdom and the Galloping Horse Country in the Wasteland Country and the Four Northern Kingdoms, so these countries do not actually control that place. Therefore, the area centered on Xiangcheng is actually anarchy. ’

But it is precisely because of this situation, the prosperity of Xiangcheng and its surrounding areas, it is said that in Xiangcheng, there are not only businessmen from all over the world, but also beauties from all over the world, because there is no government supervision, the only thing that can protect their lives in Xiangcheng is only personal strength, in this case, the mercenary group is very popular in Xiangcheng, after so many years of exhibition, Xiangcheng is basically under the control of four large mercenary groups, everyone has scruples about each other, and they are not willing to offend people. So more often. The mercenary groups are compromising with each other. For example, when a problem arises, as long as one mercenary group proposes a proposal that does not involve interests, it is usually recognized by other mercenary groups, and I have several friends who are members of the Night Wolf Mercenary Group among the four major mercenary groups, so I have a deeper understanding of their situation......

Rick listened to Wei Mang's eloquent talk, and in his heart he had a general understanding of the Divine Seal Fortress, and he had a general understanding of Xiangcheng. It was even more full of curiosity, although it was just a piece of air territory that did not really belong to him, but after all, it belonged to him in name, and with a slight smile, Rick interrupted Wei Mang's words and said, "In this case, I would like to go to Xiangcheng to have a look." ’

Wei Mang was not angry at Rick's impoliteness, but actively cooperated and said, "Okay, I have a former friend who is the deputy head of the Night Wolf Mercenary Regiment, the second largest of the four mercenary groups in Xiangcheng. If the Earl ...... If Mr. Xia Hua wants to go, we can let him lead us to see the prosperity and beauty of Xiangcheng. By the way, I picked a few purple moon flowers, but now the purple moon flowers have not yet reached the flowering period, and it will be about a month before the purple moon flowers begin to bloom, and the budding purple moon flowers are the most beautiful small flowers. ’

'That's right, that's right! Rick had such the best look on his face, and saw that Wei Mang's eyes had changed from subordinates to friends, and said very casually..' I really can't see it, it turns out that Wei Mang knows so many things, and I didn't look for you before, it's really my loss, fortunately, this time we can go to the Shenfeng Fortress together, and when I return to Bo Yingte, I will definitely apply to His Majesty Xià to transfer you to my mansion on an errand." ’

Wei Mang smiled slightly, there was no very excited look on his face, and said politely, "Then I will thank Gongzi Xia Hua first, it is Wei Mang's honor to be able to listen to Gongzi's men." ’

Rick laughed, suddenly remembered something, and then said very casually, "I said Wei Mang, since you know so much about the Divine Seal Fortress, I don't know if you don't know anything else?" ’

Wei Mang replied very casually: "What do you want to see, if it is related to the military, then I know a little bit, after all, I have been in the army for ten years, but I don't know what Gongzi wants to ask?" ’

Rick seemed to be active, and said with a smile: "When I was in Boyent and Blue City, I often heard people talk about the Four Northern Kingdoms, the Karinkel Empire, the Wasteland Country, and what Red Eagle Business Alliance, the Tabuziqi Empire, Jingtang, Xiangrong Country, Qinbu, Jingzhou and Xidi and other countries, it seems that there are countless countries in our big 6, but I don't know much about the relationship between these countries, I don't know if you can introduce me to the current situation of these countries, anyway, I don't understand, Just listen to the story. ’

Wei Mang first squinted his eyes, seemed to look at Rick carefully, and then slowly relaxed, and then his eyes revealed a determined look, and finally talked eloquently, completely saying his understanding and views on the general trend of the world, and in fact, some of what Wei Mang said was not personally experienced, but heard, but at this time, Wei Mang almost intuitively felt that the impact of the young man in front of him on him even made him willing to give everything he had to tell the other party any information.

According to the analysis of later historians, although Wei Mang is limited to his own knowledge and experience, many of his analyses and opinions are not very accurate and in-depth, but it is precisely because of Wei Mang's introduction this time that Rick has a basic grasp of the shape of the entire Big 6, and it is also at this time that the fate of the entire Big 6 becomes Rick's firm idea, although at this time, Rick is just a little greedy for money, a little lustful, does not have too many ideal pursuits, and only acts on will.

A bunch of camping bonfires, several people around the campfire, sitting in the middle of the group of people is obviously the protagonist of the group of people with a sturdy body, although he doesn't look very old, but the cynicism between the eyebrows is enough to make everyone feel his extraordinary, a round of crescent moon hangs in the sky, from the opposite side of the boy, the crescent moon seems to be hanging above his head.

There are three peerless beauties sitting next to the young man, one is gentle and considerate, the skin is crystal clear, if there is no storage of clothes, there should be people who think that what is in front of them is just a transparent shadow, and the other is exactly the same as the goddess in mythology, and the expression seems to be warning the world that the real goddess has come to the world, the last one is black, and the whole body reveals a mystery, the whole person seems to be able to blend into the darkness at any time, and the expression on his face is cold and flat, only when he looks at the boy, Only occasionally there is a smile stuck to the corner of the lips.

Behind the young man stood two men and two women and four young people who seemed to be attendants, each with its own characteristics but all had the demeanor of a master, the older one had a bald head, and under the flickering moonlight, it seemed to be shining like the moon, and the younger man was hidden in the magic robe, and he was full of a mysterious feeling that only high-level magicians have. One of the two women is dressed in red, and there is a phoenix that seems to be integrated into the skin on her jade arm, which should be her phantom beast, and the strength of the girl who can use the phoenix as a phantom beast is obviously extraordinary, and the other woman is obviously much younger, holding a long katana, and her whole body is vigilant and ruthless at the same time.

On the other side of the young man, a middle-aged man who had obviously experienced the vicissitudes of the battlefield and seemed to be talking was speaking with great energy, although his face was full of vicissitudes, but the flying look when he spoke clearly told everyone that he was not as old as he looked.

Around the bonfire, there were some well-armored sergeants sitting around, listening attentively to what was obviously their commander talking about the world's major affairs, 'I Wei Mang joined the army at the age of seventeen, served in three legions, and participated in the fifteenth defense battle of the Shenfeng Fortress five years ago and the seventeenth defense battle four years ago. Wei Mang looked no more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but when he said it, he was old-fashioned, but judging from Wei Mang's ten years of experience in the army, he could indeed put on a show of qualifications in front of most people.

"Of course we believe in Wei Mang's qualifications, so you don't have to put on a score, let's go on, talk about the current world events," Rick suddenly said with a sense of arrogance, "Good men are determined in all directions, and now the empire is troubled internally and externally, and it is the time for us to strive for strength." He glanced back at Gyokuro and Chrissy, who had a look of surprise on their faces, and added with some embarrassment, "Think about how much money we can make every month when we have a territory that truly belongs to us." ’

Wei Mang smiled slightly, he didn't care too much about what Rick said, in his eyes, since the young earl in front of him wanted to hear about the shape of the world, then he would also say it, anyway, it was harmless and beneficial to others, from the mouths of his friends in the palace guards, he already knew how generous and compassionate the young man in front of him was.

'The Blue Moon Empire, located on the east side of the Great 6, is rich in natural resources, beautiful and rich, since the founding of the country three hundred years ago, the empire has been facing all kinds of challenges, although after the efforts of several generations ago, the empire finally has its current scale and momentum, but from the outside, the empire still has a lot of problems. When Wei Mang said this, he sighed and explained: "Otherwise, the empire would not have a strong legion but it would not be able to meet the work of border defense, the population of the empire is only tens of millions, but it must raise a total of more than 1.5 million troops, which is already a heavy burden for the people of the empire." ’

'The empire is on the east side of the big 6, and further east, there is an endless sea, although the legend says that there is a larger big 6 on the other side of the sea, but that is just a legend after all, the red moon big 6 may be stored zài, but it will not bring any changes to our big 6 now. Wei Mang smiled when he mentioned the Red Moon Big 6, as if he remembered something.

'To the south of the Blue Moon Empire, after crossing the top of the mountain, which has been covered with ice and snow for many years, the towering and steep Broken Cloud Mountain, is the Jingtang Empire, I heard that most of the people of the Jingtang Empire live on small hills, and the food they eat every year is something we have never seen. The land over there is barren, so there are often bold foot merchants, who venture over the Broken Cloud Mountain to the empire, and bring the products of the empire back to their country, each time they will get a lot of benefits because of the scarcity of things, and the things brought from Jingtang are also very popular with the people of the empire, if it is not for the inconvenient transportation, I believe that there will be more such foot merchants. However, if you simply talk about threats, it can be said that the Jingtang Kingdom will not pose any threat to the empire, because a barrier-like Broken Cloud Mountain can completely separate the Jingtang and the empire, and now all the merchants who shuttle between the empire and the Jingtang Dynasty almost use the most basic mode of transportation - walking, so they are called foot merchants.
