326 Dave and Noah's City
"Lord Karl, you better get out of the city as soon as possible, I will block the news of Artim's death, what you did before, just do what you do now, and when the crusade army is over, there will be nothing left." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Huh? Mr. Dave, I can't see it! You're quite insightful. ”
Carl complimented him heartily, but Dave just smiled smugly. "That's nature, you may not know, I used to be Charlie...... Zigra IX's advisor, but after he became king, he didn't need me...... Oh yes, before leaving, the teleportation circle on the castle patio is back, anyway, Kanter City is already a lonely city, there is no need to stay there and let the spies enter the castle. ”
"Okay, okay, then the establishment of the matter will be handed over to you, don't forget, we are a raccoon dog, and we don't have any good fruit to eat when Xirui kills us!"
After a warning, Karl drifted away, and when his figure disappeared for a while, the Yamal quietly opened the door and looked out.
"Master Dave, that Carl is really gone. Why don't we slip away and join Lord Cyri now? ”
"Hey...... Yamal, how can you go, Ciri's side is like a cloud, you go over there, where you are gone? Dave said in amazement.
He didn't say he knew anything about Ciri, but he didn't know anything about it. Unlike Heinze, who was raised to the castle and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he hated and knew what Seeri and his nobles were still cultivating as hard as if they hadn't become nobles yet. To put it mildly, as far as Yamal is a guy who only knows how to enjoy, he can't even compare to the chores on Siri's side.
"Afraid there is no place to leave? Hehe, let me tell you, I have participated in the drinking parties of the nobles of Noah's territory a few times, and on their side, it is true that heroes who only focus on hard cultivation, but the kind of people with low skills are not without ...... Let me tell you, Lord Desire, that the plot is not only a small amount of territory between Kanter's direct territory and Noah's territory, he may be about to attack the kingdom of Rolando. Great merit, let's not think about it, but do you think, those Rolando's sincere nobles, how can the nobles on our side rest assured? Of course, the premise is that the nobleman must not be greedy at all. ”
Dave accepted this explanation. But Yamal's ability to know so well about the affairs of Ciri's camp has caused him new doubts.
"Who told me these things? Ha, this is still to be told, now Kante is directly under the territory, who doesn't know? Even those big-headed soldiers knew that before, my old subordinates, who were tax collectors, had complained more than once, saying that if they were Xirui's soldiers, how could they still loot those merchants? Five silver coins salary and bonus, take it with peace of mind, and spend it with peace of mind! ”
"Oh, I see, that's how it is!"
Dave muttered to himself, but in his heart he had already thought of a terrible possibility. Ordinary soldiers have no salary, even if they are directly under the kingdom's guards, and can only support their families by fishing for deviations and rewards. What if Ciri secretly sent men to stir them up? Needless to say, just boasting about their income, then who would feel balanced? Just like himself, when he heard that Xi Rui's subordinates were not aristocratic officials, and he also had a salary ranging from twenty to dozens of gold coins to get every month, he couldn't wait to find an opportunity to make a lot of money, whether he could take this money or not!
Thinking of this, Dave also had a sense of enlightenment in his heart. The tax collectors are so aggressively looting and mean merchants have the shadow of Ciri, but what about Karl's army? In the manner of such prudence and cunning, what grown-up would allow his enemies to pull up troops that had always been able to compete with him?
Things have come to this point, and taking refuge in Ciri is the only way to survive. But that man was never a good talker! The last time I begged him like that, what was the result? If it weren't for his own desperate life, he wouldn't have died tragically under the arrows of those crossbowmen. It's the same this time, even if you don't have yourself, Kanter's direct territory is also a ripe peach, and he can pick it whenever Earl Ciri wants!
Karl's army of 300,000? It's not that Dave underestimated that guy, after all, fighting still depends on the hero's ability and the bonus to the soldiers, just with him and his officers, how can he be compared to Ciri and those brave men under him? However, Dave still felt that Karna's 300,000-strong army stationed on the outskirts of Canter City seemed to be able to help him at this time.
"Yamal, just do as you say, but let's not rush to contact, Karl is not a fool, since the teleportation circle has been destroyed, then we will simply do a little bit, and then send those alchemists who can repair it to Karl's camp."
"Huh? The teleportation circle doesn't work, so how do we contact Count Seeri? Summons with guards? ”
"What's the hurry? Isn't there an Assassin Guild in the city? Since they have a way to get the message out of the castle without sending a circle through the castle, they naturally have a way to get us out of the city. ”
Dave said lightly. "Okay, now, you go and see if that Heinze outside is dead, and if not, then treat him and lock him up. As for His Majesty Artim...... Let's put the corpse away, so that the monarch and the ministers will be defeated. ”
"Alright then, everything will be done according to your wishes, my lord."
A week later, Dave, who became the de facto owner of Canter Castle, finally set foot in Noah's stronghold of Ciri with the help of the Assassin Guild.
Although the city has not been built for more than a year, it has become the most prosperous city in and around the Duchy of Canter. This is what Dave heard about Noah City, but he didn't believe a word about it, you must know that Kante City is also implementing the management and governance methods of Noah City, and everyone has run out. As for Noah City, which is administered with the same management method, to say that she is prosperous is probably a trick of Siri to the outside world!
Dave thought so, but when he actually stepped into that city, he was shocked to find that the rumors of Noah's prosperity were true!
The streets and alleys are crowded with people, people are next to each other, and all kinds of shops are also doing everything possible to attract customers! What exactly did Siri do? Do you want to be like the original Zigra royal family, throwing a lot of money at all the residents of their capital?
Dave thought silently.
That's right, the kings of Zigra did use the money in the treasury to reward the inhabitants of the capital, and as for the result, even Dave knew that by the time of Zigra IX, the inhabitants of the capital had degenerated into parasites! If he has no money, he asks the king for money, or he takes advantage of it and oppresses and blackmails those so-called outsiders.
Thinking of this, Dave couldn't help but have the idea of trying this Noah City. Not far from him, there was a small hotel, and he had not eaten anything since the morning. (To be continued.) )
