On the fifth day of the month of the god of nature, the third day of the water month.

County of Senubes, outside the city of Sealand.

Proudly lying on the thick horizontal branches of a tree ten feet high, looking at the city wall that gradually continued to burn with fading lights.

Located in the northeast of Gtoren County, the county of Senubes is the northernmost part of the territory of the kingdom of Lorenmagaga and the largest county in the kingdom.

This is naturally the target that Aozong is ready to start.

The kingdom of Lorenmagaga, as well as most other independent kingdoms, could be divided into three categories: royal domains, vassal realms, and dominions.

In Ao's view, there is no difference between the king's territory and the state capital of Middle-earth, everyone has to listen to the king, even if it is the governor of a state, the Son of Heaven has a will, and he will change it.

The Dominion is more special, neither pay food nor money, and the king basically has no control over everything in the territory, but at special times, such as being invaded, the Dominion has the obligation to respond to the king's call to go to war. However, the Dominions are relatively small counties, and the largest Dominion in Loren Magaga is no more than ten tons, which is not as large as a county in Middle-earth. The existing autonomy orders are almost all the land of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, such as the park of the Ministry of Legal Affairs in the royal capital, although it is not small, but it is only an office space, and most of the staff's homes are in the Dominion.

Incidentally, the Dominions have an obligation to defend their homeland and defend their country, but this obligation is not binding on the Dominions of the Ministry of Justice, and it is a supreme principle that the Dominion will never intervene in the wars of the secular monarchy.

Dominions are many but small, kings have large but few direct domains, and large and numerous are vassal domains. In the case of Loren Magaga, there are a total of 50 counties in the country, and only 8 counties are directly under the direct jurisdiction of the king, and the remaining 42 counties are vassal domains.

There are two kinds of vassal domains, which are surrounded by counties of their own territory, which are capital domains, those that are adjacent to the borders of other countries, and those who have border defense responsibilities, which are the princes. Above the prince and the king, there is actually a king, but the monarch is actually a union of several lords or lords, which is different from Middle-earth.

In fact, there are many more things to pay attention to about vassals and nobles, but Ao Zongheng has little interest in these, although he spent three days collecting a lot of information along the way to find a target, but the focus is elsewhere.

There are three reasons why Ao Zongheng chose this Senubes as his target.

First, he is rich enough.

In Loren Magaga, or elsewhere in the continent of Tambro, the nobles were almost always the richest group, especially the vassals, who controlled the taxes of a county, not counting the other outputs in the county, how could they not be rich?

Second, it's far enough.

Senubes County is located in the northern frontier of the kingdom, and further north is the Great Barren Mountain Range that separates most of the Tambro Continent - Gengguyi Mountain Range, which can be said to be a border county without border troubles - this is why it is obviously a border county that is a capital county. And this kind of pseudo-border county has a characteristic, that is, the defense is relatively lax and weak, and it is easier to attack.

Third, it's close enough.

It's not far away, it's close, it's close to Gdollenshire. Arrogant only intends to steal a sum and does not want to waste too much time on the road. Whoever steals isn't stealing, right? Then why not just do it in Gdogronshire? That's because Arrogant doesn't want to make too much of a commotion in Gtoren County and cause trouble for Gapopo's gang.

You are more particular, I am more particular than me, this is the style of arrogance.

Seeing that the time was almost there, he bounced lightly from the branches, and his figure disappeared with a slight movement, and after a few breaths, he had crossed the city wall and landed on the streets of Zeeland.

Now the arrogant is somewhat familiar with mages and spells, and some places will use magic to make a wide range of whistles, this sentence is true, but the so-called some places, either the palace or some secret places, by no means this kind of big city, although Sealand City is not big, east and west plus north and south are only four hundred zhang.

Arrogant and unstoppable, he swept straight to the east of the city, although there was also the mansion of Senubes in the middle of the city, but this was not his goal.

If you have a lot of money, would you rather put it in a mansion in the middle of the city, or in a heavily garrisoned fortress?

The city of Zealand is the county seat of the county of Senubes, but if you want to say that the core and power center of the county of Senubes, there is only one, and that is Lindenbo Castle.

In fact, the city of Sealand was nothing more than a lower city that arose around the castle of Lindenbo. Leaning close to the fortress, this is also the common point of the construction layout of most towns on the mainland. It's just that ordinary towns are a certain distance from the castle, and because Lindenbo Castle has not had a decent war for too long, the successive Senubes are too lazy to care, and the city of Zealand is slowly connected with the castle area.

Although the county of Serenbes is generally peaceful, there are still necessary city guards, but these strong men do not pose any obstacle to arrogance at all.

Although it is said that it is connected, there is still an open space of about ten zhang between the castle area and the city, otherwise there is no use for the archers on the high wall.

Lindenburg Wave Castle is built according to the hill, this hill is not high, the highest place is only ten zhang from the flat ground, it is built according to a low hill, the whole castle is divided into three parts and divided into two parts, the periphery is the fortress department, this is the most important barrier of the castle, behind the fortress is the barracks and living quarters, there are about two hundred Rosse large, the most central length and width are about forty Luo Yuan, and the height is about 20 or 30 Luo Yuan, which is the main fort.

These figures are not arrogant and eye-catching, but they can be inquired along the road, and the weights and measures of the kingdom of Lorentega are completely different from those of Middle-earth, and roughly converted, one zhang of Middle-earth is slightly longer than three Raja, and two miles is almost a taeka on this side; one Dasai of Lorentega is equivalent to eighteen to nineteen acres of Middle-earth, and one Rosei is equivalent to eighteen to nineteen acres, and so on.

Arrogant is a proud person, but pride does not mean arrogance, before starting, he still worked hard.

It is true that Fort Lindenbo is the base camp of the Guards, but unlike Middle-earth, in the continent of Tambro, excluding the secondary military forces such as the City Guard and the Patrol, there are not many standing troops in the regular army, especially in the long-term peaceful county of Senubas, according to the information obtained by the Proud Commander from the merchants, there are only two cavalry and two infantry troops stationed in the Lindenbo Castle, which add up to no more than 1,000 people. More troops, in the two nearby barracks districts, were at least five taeklets.

Of course, maybe, perhaps, there should be a mage.

No matter how detailed the information is, such as explaining the secret post positions, the location of the barracks, and the patrol routes, it is not something that can be obtained by a trader, no matter how important military information is, who will inquire about it if there is no plan.

If you don't have it, you don't care.

Probably because there was only one story of the fortress, the builders of Lindenbo Fort built the walls of the fortress very high, even the shortest point was forty feet, and the walls were sentry posts every hundred steps. The so-called bastion is a fortress that looks like a star and has a protrusion around it when viewed from above, and the biggest advantage of this design is that when dealing with siegers, no matter which side the enemy comes from, they will be caught in the horns of two or three archers.

However, this was of no meaning to Arrogant, and at this moment he had entered a suitable observation position—in an uninhabited tower half waist high in the central main fortress.

Arrogantly spread out his sense of qi, and wantonly felt all the movements around him. His sense of qi is like that of his hands, which can be touched but felt but not seen, and cannot penetrate but is pervasive.

There were far from a thousand people here, and after a while, he had already swept the garrison's dormitory, and there were only two hundred people in it at most, and not more than four hundred, including the light and dark posts of the defense. There seemed to be some people in the camp farther away, but those people still had to tie their feet when they slept, and there was no danger to them.

After a while, Ao Zongheng finished exploring the situation inside the central main fortress.

There were not many people in the castle, and there were only about a hundred people who slept and those who did not, and there were only three places with fixed posts, and there was no one in one of them, but there was a large bed. The other place is like a study, and there are a lot of things in it. The third place was supposed to be the entrance to the basement, but I felt that I couldn't get in front of the door, which was a rare thing.

The first place should be the bedroom, where there shouldn't be too many good things, and the second study may have good things, but it is said that the good things in the study are relatively large, and Ao Zongheng only has a pair of hands that can't hold these. He quickly made up his mind and headed straight for the basement.

In the basement, two armored guards stood in front of the door with guns.

This shift has just been replaced, and no one will come to rotate until the turn of the earth and fire, and the night will be long, and it will be difficult to survive.

Lord Yi attaches great importance to military discipline, and if the guards are lazy and have an untidy posture, they will be severely punished, but it is okay to relax and fall down occasionally.

But why doesn't this body seem to be flexible tonight? Why can't you even lift your hands? In confusion, I was about to open my mouth to ask each other, but I found something even more amazing—the two opened their mouths, but they couldn't spit out a word.

"Don't panic, I'm just asking a very simple question, you just have to nod or shake your head, so you don't get hurt, understand?" A man in a gray straitjacket.

The two guards seemed stunned, and after a few breaths, they nodded reluctantly.

"Very good, I have two questions, first, is there any money in the room behind you?"

The two soldiers tried to turn their heads and make eye contact with each other, but their necks could only be turned for two points, and they couldn't do it no matter how hard they tried, so they had to give up again and again, but no one spoke, just desperately lowered their heads to avoid eye contact with the arrogant.

"Heh, it's loyal, it's good. Seeing that the two didn't dare to express their position, they were not angry when they were arrogant.

Suddenly, with a "grin" sound, the ground in front of the two guards, about a square of large bluestone bricks, actually instantly had twenty or thirty criss-crossing cut marks, the cut marks were about half a finger thick, and the depth had penetrated the entire bluestone brick.

The two guards were originally staring at the ground with their heads down to avoid each other's gaze, but now they could see this scene clearly, so that their eyes were sudden.

"You say, is there any money in it?" said arrogantly, repeating the question softly.
