Looking at the lonely town of Kieran, which seems to be on the edge of the world, Baroness Goss feels as if she has been abandoned by the whole world.

It didn't even take a quarter of an hour to walk from east to west in the town, and there were only a few shops and workshops in the town that were pitifully small, and the familiar faces inside made her too lazy to take a look.

The proprietress of the tailor's shop has a waist thicker than a water tank, and the long skirts cut out are a simple cylinder, or three holes cut out of the sack bag, which has no beauty at all.

The owner of the leather shop wears a pair of leather pants all the year round, and when he sees a customer coming to the door, he laughs like a fool, especially the rotten tooth, and he doesn't know how his three wives can stand him at night.

What she was looking forward to the most was that the grocery store in the town had some new products, or a trade union from the town.

These were all spices for Baroness Goss, a town that was too remote for her.

She liked the bustling big cities, the busy streets, the shops with all the goods, the bards playing the organ in the square in front of the opera house, not the gold coins in the basement full of mold and didn't know how to spend it.

There are no grand auctions, no lavish balls packed with guests, no art salons full of young talents, no exciting ... Love, black market boxing matches full of blood and sweat, and even wild outings and hunting are just monotonous horseback riding, how can life be so dull.

She had always wanted to settle in Wilkes, but Merlin. Baron Goss needs to live here and guard the pasture.

She didn't want to leave this manor completely, and easily give up the position of the hostess of the manor, which was the envy of many people, at least she had the final say here.

With the help of the maid, the tunic petticoat was tightened until the breathing was a little unsmooth, and only a small half inhaled was needed so that the ribs would not be strangled by the corset.

She looked in the mirror almost covered. The white and greasy pectoral muscles that swelled out of the cup, touched a few shallow crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, took out a hairpin and pinned a strand of messy broken hair on the side of his sideburns, and poured a layer of powder on his face, and the face in the mirror seemed to have regained a bit of his youthful appearance.

At this time, the voice of the butler came from outside the door:

"Madame, the carriage is ready!"

Baroness Goss stretched out her hands, and the maid hurriedly put her dress on her and walked out of the room, while the maid behind her hurriedly tied the last ribbon, picked up the skirt that dragged behind her, and followed Baroness Goss, through the courtyard cloister, to the carriage under the steps.

The carriage slowly drove out of the manor.

The manor was about a kilometer away from the town of Kieran, and a straight country dirt road led to the town, and looking out the window at the green pastures and Lake Bailin, she closed her eyes and thought about how she should impress the young baron when she saw him.

Before she got married, she lived in the bustling city of Bena, when her father was a down-and-out nobleman in the city, and in order to maintain the dignity of the nobles, she also studied at the Bena Swordsman Academy for a while.

Later, in order to change the situation of the family, my father took the initiative to participate in the plane war, but his luck was too bad, and he died on the battlefield within two months.

Her mother became the lover of a timber merchant in the city, and soon sold her family property, and followed the timber merchant to the White Forest Plane in a desperate way, and then the timber merchant got tired of sleeping with her mother and fell in love with her, she did not want to be kept in captivity in that forest farm for the rest of her life.

Fortunately, I met Merlin in Wilkes at that time. Goss, who was desperate to marry herself, didn't even have a choice but to marry Merlin, who was still young and golden, when he was only a noble child and did not inherit his father's title, and was not less treated coldly in Wilkes.

I thought that after inheriting the title, I would live a better life by becoming Baroness Goss, maybe I would join those noble wives group, attend afternoon tea parties, listen to operas, attend art salons, balls, etc......

The long-awaited thing came true after paying a little price, but the rest of life was not satisfactory, and in order to inherit the wealth left by the family in Kieran, Merlin. Goss took her to this remote town, where she lived for nearly twenty years.

How many twenty years are there in life?

Baroness Goss, who was sitting in the carriage, looked out the window and sighed.

The camp of the cavalry camp is located next to the caravan, and Baroness Goss originally planned to take a good look at this caravan, but looking at the whole row of carriages they parked there, she knew that the caravan had brought a lot of good goods this time, but unfortunately there was no time to look at it for the time being......

The outside of the town has become a lively market, and the stalls are full of residents of the town, most of these people are immigrants like the Grimm Empire, only a small number of aborigines, they don't even want to go to crowded places, and the goods they buy are also some salt, silk thread, pots, miscanthus and other necessities.

The tents of the cavalry battalion were very neatly stationed, a large group of horses were grazing on the grass not far away, and a group of horsemen were standing by the river, carefully scrubbing their horses.

There were only two guards at the barracks gate, and the magic caravan was stopped by the guards at the barracks gate.

……

Surdak was in the tent looking at the map of the Bailin plane, and the two guides, Andrew, and Samira were studying how to go next, after all, there was a one-day delay in Watts Village, and now it has been delayed for most of the day in Kieran Town, according to the scheduled itinerary, the cavalry battalion arrived in Dodan Town at least two days later than expected.

The cavalry battalion's current state of war horses is not suitable for excessive consumption of the physical strength of war horses for rapid marching.

Fortunately, the deadline for the change of defense with the garrison of Dodan Town is still sufficient, but Surdak does not want to continue to delay here, otherwise once the heavy infantry regiment behind the Luthor Regiment catches up and changes the defense in Kieran Town first, it will seem that the cavalry will not be able to outrun the infantry at that time......

"Leave tomorrow morning, count the number of people tonight, and don't let the cavalry leave the camp." Surdak said.

"Okay, boss!" Andrew replied as he stood up straight.

A guard stood at the door of the tent and shouted, "Report! ”

"Come in!" Surdak replied.

The guard lifted the curtain and walked into the tent, and saw that a group of people were discussing around the square table, Surdak looked up at him, quickly stood up straight, and said loudly:

"Baroness Goss wants to visit you!"

Surdak looked at the guard in amazement and asked him:

"Are you sure it's Baroness Goss, not Baroness Goss?"

"Yes, sir." The guard stood up straight and replied loudly, as if he couldn't show his loyalty if he didn't.

"Let her in!" Surdak instructed the guards, and then said to Samira and Andrew, who were next to him, "I thought Baron Goss would come forward this time." ”

The magic caravan drove into the barracks, and Baroness Goss stepped out of the carriage in front of Surdak's tent, and when he saw Surdak's burly figure and handsome face wearing the baronial badge on his chest, a pair of slender and long eyes lit up.

It was only then that his eyes fell on Selena, who was standing beside Surdak, that his pupils shrank suddenly, and a faint aristocratic smile appeared on his face, and he said to Surdak:

"You must be Lord Baron Surdak!" Her imperial Chinese has a faint Bednar accent and a soft voice. "I'm Merlin. Nellie, wife of Baron Goss. Goss, Arlo and Joe have caused you trouble this time, these two children are usually neglected by us and are always getting into trouble. ”

Baroness Goss's white breasts made Surdak can't help but squint his eyes, and seeing Selena's somewhat disdainful gaze on the side, Surdak quickly looked away and said to Baroness Goss:

"It's nothing, after all, the two sons have not committed any wrongdoing, and you don't have to apologize to me, I just hope that this incident is a wake-up call to the two young men, if this happened in Highlandsa, Joe would probably be whipped."

Surdak lifted the curtain of the tent and made a 'please' gesture to Baroness Goss.

Later, he added: "Luckily this is Kieran." ”

Baroness Goss didn't expect Surdak's tone to be so sharp, and as she walked into the barracks tent, she said:

"Very outsiders who have just arrived in Kieran, are not familiar with the folk customs here, at least half of the population in the town are immigrants from Bednar City, and the other half are local aborigines, they are some uncivilized local natives, very indifferent to the laws of the empire, and wild nature, often make some bold and barbaric moves, of course, the town has been carrying out basic education for this group of aborigines, hoping that they can abide by the rules somewhat."

She walked into the tent and turned around.

The gorgeous skirt of the dress is like a blooming flower, and with her delicate face, which is so delicate that she can't tell her age, the charm that only mature and beautiful women can have is vividly displayed by her.

She asked Surdak, who had followed him into the tent, "Baron Surdak, I heard that you are from Highlandza?" ”

"Well, I work in the Haylantha Guard Battalion, and I am the magistrate of the barren land outside the city of Hylansa, and this time I was invited by the Marquis of Luther to officially join the Luther Legion and enter the White Forest Plane to accept the garrison mission." Surdak sat down and said.

Baroness Goss prepared to sit in another chair, and the maid behind her hurriedly straightened the long skirt behind her.

She asked kindly, "If that's the case, is it that the garrison of Kiran Town is also about to change its guard?" ”

"That's right, the hoplite regiment heading to Kieran is already halfway there, and our cavalry battalion is just one step ahead of them." Surdak knew that even if he didn't tell the news, the hoplite regiment of the Luther Legion would be made public three days later.

Surdak didn't know what etiquette should be when talking to a baroness, he was extremely lacking in it, and thought that if Hathaway or Beatrice were there, the scene would probably not be so embarrassing.

After a short silence, Surdak said:

"Baroness Goss, how long have you and Baron Goss lived here? Well, I mean the ranch that runs the White Forest Plane. ”

It was as if there was some stuffiness in the tent, and Baroness Goss was holding a handkerchief on her chest. Fanning the wind incessantly, and glancing at Surdak, he replied with a smile: "It's been a long time, so long that it's hard to remember the days, and from the foot of the mountain here to the outskirts of Wilkes, the Bailin River is our pasture. ”

The delicate magic silk handkerchief streaked across her choppy pectoral muscles, intentionally or unintentionally, and she said in a greasy voice:

"If Baron Surdak wants to buy cattle and sheep in the future, he will have to take care of our Goss family's pasture, the white sheep on our pasture are tender and juicy, I don't know how delicious they are......"

Surdak was not only a little big-headed, but he thought that even if he was hungry, he would not be interested in a middle-aged noblewoman whose son had participated in a coming-of-age ceremony......

He coughed lightly, glanced at Selena next to him, looked her away, thought for a moment, and said to Baroness Goss:

"Cattle and sheep or something, there is no purchase plan for the time being, but I want to buy some excellent war horses. I guess you can also see that I have a cavalry battalion, but the number of war horses is just enough to meet the needs of all cavalry with one horse, which is far from enough for a mobile and flexible cavalry battalion, I still need to continue to replenish the war horses to the barracks, I wonder if Baroness Goss, your ranch is willing to sell me some war horses? ”

Baroness Goss probably didn't expect Surdak to offer to buy a war horse at this time, and she asked with a slight startle:

"Baron Surdak, how many horses do you need to buy?"

Surdak thought of the good quality Gubolai horses in the pasture, stretched out a hand and said, "Five hundred." ”

Baroness Goss didn't expect Surdak to buy so many war horses in one go, and after thinking about it, she asked, "Five hundred war horses can still be taken out of our ranch, but I want to know what you have to pay for, Magic Crystal?" Gold? ”

"Magic crystals, gold coins, it's fine." Surdak said.

Baroness Goss was silent for a moment before staring at Surdak and saying, "I don't want your magic crystals, nor do I want your gold...... I wonder if there is another way for us to work together. ”

Surdak didn't expect that the other party didn't want gold coins, and asked suspiciously, "In what way?" ”

"We're working with each other's families!"

Baroness Goss smiled and said: "The Goss family will provide you with war horses and some logistical materials, so that you can recruit more cavalry warriors in the future, and then occupy those lands that are pioneered on the Bailin plane. ”

"I'm sorry, Baroness Goss, I can't accept your offer, I'd rather you raise the price of your war horse a little more than this."

Surdak decisively refused without even thinking about it.

Baroness Goss then left without long talking.

Watching the magic caravan slowly drive away from the camp, Surdak couldn't help but think in his heart, the big gift given to him by Marquis Luthor was hidden in the Warcraft Forest north of Dodan Town, how could he talk about cooperation at this time, even if he wanted to cooperate, he had to talk about cooperation with the Luthor family, the Gophilo family, or the Kesment family, just relying on a few war horses to talk about cooperation, this idea was a little too big......
