Chapter 53, Tax Officer
"Let's go."
Zhou Mingyue waved his right hand, and the other troops immediately followed, rushing straight past Macon, and those standing soldiers under the command of Marquis Mithron did not dare to act rashly at all.
No way, they're just standing soldiers, not knights!
How could it be possible to stop the beast from advancing.
After Zhou Mingyue and his entourage passed, several standing soldiers immediately came over, and Macon would help them up in the future.
But now Macon completely had a dog's face, and when he got up, he shook the standing soldier's hand, angrily slapped the standing soldier in the face a few times, and scolded wildly: "Waste! Rubbish! What's the use of Lord Mithron raising you bunch of shit! Why don't you send someone to inform Lord Sean that there are thugs breaking through!! ”
"Yes!"
The standing soldier who had been slapped could only blush, and then hurriedly ran into the distance.
Zhou Mingyue didn't know what had happened after he left, and before nightfall, the group rushed outside a small town.
The people of the town were almost scared to death when they saw the two huge earth dragons.
However, the streets in the town are also very unsuitable for the passage of the dragon, so Zhou Mingyue did not live in the town, but asked people to set up a tent outside the town, went to the town to buy food and wine, and after enjoying it a little, he lay in the tent, playing with the pendant of the War Magic Tower, and further familiarized himself with the abilities of this War Magic Tower.
During this period of familiarity, Zhou Mingyue almost understood the limitations of the War Magic Tower's ability and the scope of its use.
To put it simply, the War Tower's flight ability needs to be in its full form to be used, the Pendant form cannot be used, and during flight, the War Tower consumes the material stored in it.
Its speed is not very fast, it is about twice as fast as the war horse running at full speed.
In general, the flight ability of the War Magic Tower is a bit frustrating, and it is not cost-effective.
Of course, this flying ability can still be used in a pinch.
The limitation of its displacement ability lies in the fact that only the places where Zhou Mingyue has been can be displaced, and each displacement will consume the material of the production of 1 team of troops, and the maximum displacement distance cannot exceed 3,000 kilometers, and at the same time, it cannot be displaced!
Well, this last point is made clear in the detailed description of the War Tower.
This made Zhou Mingyue think of a lot of things.
Since you can't move across planes, it means that there are more planes here?
Of course, this shouldn't be surprising, after all, there are even gods here, let alone planes.
In the early morning of the next day, the little sun rose, and Zhou Mingyue set off from the camp and continued towards the royal city.
However, when he arrived in the second town, he was denied access to the town to buy food and drink.
The gate of the town was closed early, and there were several peasant soldiers defending it, seeing Zhou Mingyue coming, but a person holding a hunting bow, an arrow shot from afar, pierced in front of the earth dragon, and shouted in his mouth, letting Zhou Mingyue and his party leave as soon as possible.
So unfriendly?
Zhou Mingyue immediately thought that this was the Marquis of Mislang, and he saw that he had really offended the tax officer.
It doesn't matter if you can't buy food and alcohol, Zhou Mingyue brought some jerky with him on this trip.
Set up a tent by a creek a kilometre away from the town.
But after nightfall, Zhou Mingyue, who was lying in the tent, was awakened by a slight vibration from the ground as soon as he fell asleep.
There is an enemy attack!
Compared to Zhou Mingyue, who was less vigilant when sleeping, the troops stationed around him were much more vigilant than him.
Before he could get out of the tent, he heard the sound of fighting outside.
By the time he approached with a torch, the battle was over.
Hundreds of night raiders had been crushed by the outermost Dark Guard, except for the knight who rushed to the front, who had been captured alive.
That's right, it was a knight who led the night attack.
This knight is not very tall, wearing a somewhat worn chain mail, and is carried in the hands of a dark guard who is more than two meters old, but he has the demeanor of a dwarf.
"Say, what is your name, where did you come from, and by whom did you command?!"
Zhou Mingyue saw that the other party's arm had been broken and there was no threat, so he simply asked.
This knight is not the kind of person who is iron-clad and made of special materials, seeing that the enemy is powerful, he is not an opponent at all, so he immediately tells the origin of the matter.
It turned out that this knight was Sean, one of the knights directly under the castle under the command of Marquis of Mislang.
In addition to fighting with the superior nobles, the knights directly under these castles also have the responsibility of suppressing the place and maintaining law and order, to put it bluntly, they are equivalent to the sheriffs.
He was friendly with the tax officer Laimecon, and when he learned that Laimecon had been humiliated and that someone had broken through, he immediately brought a team of standing soldiers to chase after him.
There had been some delays due to the issuance of wanted warrants.
Of course, the town thousands of kilometers away was only denied entry to Zhou Mingyue after receiving a wanted warrant, and Knight Sean was also notified.
Therefore, after this Sean knight arrived, he took advantage of the night to prepare to attack Zhou Mingyue.
Who would have thought that this thief would be so powerful that not only defeated the standing soldiers, but even trapped himself here.
However, as far as he could see, Knight Sean was a little skeptical that these people were thieves.
The reason is very simple, whose thieves are so rich and wear Mithril armor?
You must know that the Mithril Armor can only be bought in the Royal City, and the price is extremely expensive, and if Knight Sean hadn't followed Marquis of Mithran to the Royal City, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to recognize this as Mithril Armor.
Hit the iron plate!
This was the only thought on the mind of Knight Sean at this time.
Zhou Mingyue did not punish without teaching, and first pointed out his identity, an independent knight canonized by His Majesty the King, not without heels.
After that, he asked five light halberders to follow Knight Sean to capture the tax collector.
This is not that Zhou Mingyue is arrogant and inflated.
But according to the laws of the Kingdom of Flor, what came to Macon to falsely accuse Zhou Mingyue of being a thief, and falsely accusing a nobleman of being a thief is undoubtedly a serious crime, which seriously violates the bottom line of the nobles.
Well, Zhou Mingyue is actually not a native of this world, and he has not developed that kind of aristocratic feeling, he just feels that coming to Macon will cause him a lot of trouble, so he simply solves the other party to avoid future troubles.
The operation to capture Lemacon went well.
At dawn the next day, Zhou Mingyue saw the tax officer who had falsely accused him of coming to Macon.
At this time, Lai Mecon was still tough, and he even threatened Zhou Mingyue as a close confidant of the Marquis of Mislang.
Perhaps the tax collector was accustomed to being arrogant and domineering in the Marquis of Mithron, and mistakenly thought that he was the undisputed king here.
Of course, if someone else, even a foreign knight, did not dare to do anything excessive to the tax collector of the Marquis of Misron.
