Chapter 169: Someone Comes from Far Away
A group of knights galloped along the road leading to the misty forest, all wearing gray cloaks, and only from the corners of their windswept clothes could they see the armor made of steel. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A large stone building appeared at the end of the road.
The leader of the group grabbed the reins and stopped his horse. He looked up at the building, his eyes complicated.
"Your Majesty, that's 'Papa Tom's Tavern. One of the leader's entourage said behind him.
"Oh......" The leader replied lightly, and then still looked ahead.
Another attendant noticed that his master's expression was different, and as a confidant, he immediately spoke up: "Master, it's just a broken tavern, is that 'Daddy Tom' so powerful? After speaking, he looked at the person who had just spoken, and his eyes were gloomy.
"No......" The leader suddenly raised his hand and interrupted his entourage to continue speaking. "Daddy Tom is definitely a very powerful presence. ā
"Your Majesty......" At first, the entourage was a little excited because of His Highness's trust.
The entourage behind the "master ......" was a little flustered.
"Just look at it. It is very telling that he is the only tavern in such a vast wilderness outside the Misty Forest. As he spoke, the leader made a circle with his hand. "Look at the road we are standing on now, how many adventurers, mercenaries, and merchants have we met on the road just now?"
"How can there be only one tavern for so many people? The Eastern and Western Continents all knew that the Misty Forest could produce any rare herb minerals on the continent, and there were still a large number of demonic beasts living in it. It's such a 'gold mine', why don't the big guilds and the old organizations open their own taverns here......?
"And you, as you said, Daddy Tom has set the rules here, so there won't be any robbery or anything like that. As he spoke, the leader pointed to the entourage at the beginning and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but I really haven't encountered such a thing along the way, especially in the large area of the Misty Forest. ā
"There is no doubt that this powerful Daddy Tom is the king here! His words made these unruly mercenary adventurers dare not disobey, which shows his power. There's one more thing you might not expect. Why don't the big guilds and old organizations go out to promote this Daddy Tom?
"Because...... Because they were afraid! They were afraid that their actions would upset the old man Tom, so they did not dare to make these unknown moves. In the end, the leader summed it up. As he said this, a flush appeared on his face, because he knew that he had found the right place.
This leader is obviously very smart, and he knows the situation in the Eastern and Western Continents and some neutral organizations very well, so after analyzing and guessing what he saw and heard, he really guessed eight or nine.
The leader lifted off the hood on his head, revealing a young face in his twenties, but the expression on his face was full of fortitude and the bearing of a superior.
He came from the Golden Plains, the Golden Alliance on the Golden Plains. He is the king of the Golden Lion Kingdom of the Golden Alliance, Owen Norton.
At a young age, Owen Norton had already inherited the throne and became king. As a young king, he dared to leave his kingdom with a dozen people and travel thousands of miles to the Misty Forest. On the one hand, it proves his courage, and on the other hand, it shows that he has firmly grasped the kingdom he inherited.
The Golden Plains, located on the eastern continent. From where we are now, go straight west without turning, and you can reach it. The Golden Plains, as its name suggests, is full of "gold". The fertile land here can grow many plants, so that the country in this vast plain has never had to worry about food problems, and it is also the grain export center of the eastern continent.
Not only is the land fertile, but this plain is also rich in all kinds of precious resources, which are completely easy to pick up. Moreover, its location is just in the middle of the eastern continent, whether it is going south or north, it has to pass through here. It was once a bustling place, and at one time it was the commercial center of the entire eastern continent.
The gods of wealth, commerce, contracts, and other gods once set up their underground kingdom here, so that their pope could be worshipped here.
Until......
Until the vampires went north and the Rhine League was formed.
Golden Plains, would have been a very good location. But it's really bad now. Because he is in the middle of two powerful opposing blocs - the Vampire and the Rhine Alliance.
After the establishment of the Rhine Alliance, the vampires were driven back to the south, and they also took the opportunity to start the southern invasion, but the southern invasion had one obstacle, that is, the human kingdom on the Golden Plain. The Rhine Alliance has both soft and hard to allow some human kingdoms and principalities on the Golden Plains to join the alliance, opening a passage to the south.
But the vampires will not allow the Rhine Alliance to invade their territory, as the so-called exorcism of the enemy from the territory. Therefore, the vampires also co-opted or conquered some of the kingdoms on the Golden Plains, making them the front line against the Rhine Alliance.
The flames of war burned across the Golden Plains. Wars, battles, intrigues, tricks, mutinies, restorations, all these things are played out every day in the countries of the Golden Plains.
The once rich land is full of bones, and the fields are largely abandoned. Hunger, disease, cannibalism, and other things that people on the Golden Plains never dared to imagine are happening every day.
However, not all people are afraid of vampires and the Rhine Alliance.
Several countries on the Golden Plains, which were once also very powerful, shouted and gathered a bunch of small countries that were also fed up with being pawns to form the Golden Alliance.
The slogan of the Golden Alliance is: restore prosperity and peace and expel the vampires. Yes, as a different race, that is a natural enemy. So the Golden Alliance also raised the slogan of expelling vampires. Here, on the one hand, it is really necessary to fight the vampires, and on the other hand, it is to achieve a righteous name that makes the Rhine Alliance scruple about it......
The Kingdom of the Golden Lion is one of the several powerful countries in the Golden Alliance, and its king is one of the leaders of the Golden Alliance.
Therefore, the young king Owen Norton not only shoulders the heavy responsibility of his country, but also shoulders the concept of the Golden Alliance, and the burden is very heavy.
