The town hall of Dodan town is made of bluestone strips, the surface of the wall is painted with a layer of white ash, and there are two sculptures of imperial guards holding shield spears on both sides of the steps of the doorway, and when you enter the hall of the town hall, there is a colorful mural depicting the war at the entrance of the hall, and below the mural is the front desk of the town hall, and a middle-aged woman is standing behind the front desk, writing on parchment with a quill pen.

Hearing the sound of footsteps at the door, the middle-aged woman raised her head, her eyes fell on Surdak's chest for the first time, seeing that he was wearing the Order of Nobility and the Guard Battalion Knight Badge on his chest, she quickly got up from the chair, walked directly to Surdak around the front desk, and said cordially:

"You must be Baron Surdak of the Luthor Legion, your order arrived three days ago, our mayor has been looking forward to your arrival for the past few days, but today is really not a coincidence, yesterday there was a vicious incident of a bandit group attacking the adventure group outside the city, Mayor Marko led the city defense guard and the merchant army group, and the temporary organization of the adventure group The man left the city last night, and has not yet returned."

When Surdak learned that Mayor Marco was no longer in the town hall, he asked the middle-aged woman:

"I heard about this from Baron Maynard, is the loss on the side of the adventure group big this time?"

"The specific losses have not yet been reported, it is said that this matter is also very troublesome in the town's adventure group union, yesterday just in time for the Langdon Legion garrison to leave, the town did not have enough manpower, the town mayor organized a joint team to search the mountains outside the city." The middle-aged woman smiled and said to Surdak,

Surdak could feel her politeness and detachment, it seemed that the relationship between the local garrison and the town hall was a little delicate, Surdak didn't ask for details, just asked: "Did Mayor Marco send back news from outside the city?" ”

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said: "I heard that some clues have been found, but that mountain range is the territory of a local indigenous chief, and if the joint team wants to operate over there, it is estimated that they will have to communicate with the local indigenous chief." ”

Surdak frowned and asked the middle-aged woman:

"I don't know exactly where it is, I'll send someone to ask Mayor Marko if he needs to send a garrison on his side."

The middle-aged woman said with a look of surprise:

"It's great that you can get there, is there anything I need to do?"

Surdak thought for a moment before he said:

"I need a guide who knows the terrain on the outskirts of town."

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said:

"I happen to have a native here who is familiar with the surroundings of the town, let him take you to Mayor Marco and them......"

After saying that, she walked quickly through the corridor of the hall, walked to the stable in the backyard of the town hall, and commanded an aboriginal horseman: "Cory, you quickly stop what you are doing, now you follow this Lord Surdak and take him to the north of the town to find Mayor Marko and them." ”

"Yes, Lady Luna!" The groom hurriedly stopped what he was doing, stood up and patted the grass clippings on his body, and whispered.

After saying goodbye to Lady Luna, Surdak walked out of the town hall with the local Aboriginal guide named Cory, and it was then that Surdak remembered that he did not know Lady Luna's identity.

Surdak inquired about the Mafkory, and found out that this Mrs. Luna was actually the secretary of the mayor of Marko, but due to the temporary lack of suitable personnel in the town hall, her secretary currently wears many hats, and even the front desk entertains such a thing, because Miss Delia, the only one who sticks at the front desk, is on leave, and she actually has to be temporarily replaced, it seems that this town hall is not big.

Andrew walked out of the gate and asked Surdak, "Chief, do you want me to go to the camp and gather a squadron of cavalry?" ”

Surdak nodded, and said to Andrew: "Bring more people, and you should familiarize yourself with the environment of the northern mountains in advance!" ”

"Good!"

After Andrew finished speaking, he ran towards the cavalry battalion on the west side of the town.

Walking to the small square opposite the town hall, Surdak happened to see Signa and Selena sitting on a bench in the shade of a tree.

Nika stood on the edge of the pool with her head up, looking curiously at the stone statue of the water girl holding a water bottle in both hands in the pool, and a stream of water flowed from the water bottle held by the stone girl in her hand, and a few small fish swam happily in the pool.

Surdak walked up to Selena and sat down, took her white and soft hand, looked at the small square where people came and went, and said to her, "We are going to live in this town for a while......"

Selena didn't seem to be used to being held by Surdak in public, her face was slightly red, but her eyes were extremely gentle, she held Surdak's thick and powerful big hand with her backhand, and nodded slightly.

Signa, who was sitting on the other side of Selena, asked Surdak, "How long are we going to stay here?" ”

"I will probably stay until the end of the garrison mission, which is estimated to be at least two years." Surdak also didn't know how long it would take to end the garrison mission.

In fact, if he wants to develop a mine and expand his territory in the town of Dodan, it will take some time to operate.

Surdak asked, "Does Signa like it here?" ”

"Although some people are reluctant to Wall Village, the environment here is better, there are grassy areas and lush trees everywhere, and the climate here is much better than Wall Village." Signa sat beside her mother and said obediently.

Signa is about the same age as Little Peter, but much more mature than Little Peter.

Not long after, Andrew arrived at the side of the small square with three squadrons of cavalry.

Surdak asked Selena to return to the garrison camp with Signa and Nika on their own, leaving them with two veterans of the cavalry battalion, and then Samira and Samira rode the Gubolai horses brought by Andrew, and a cavalry team of nearly two hundred men marched through the center of the town to the gate of the northern wall of Dodan Town.

The townspeople on the street gave way to the cavalry, and came unhindered to the gate of the north city wall, the gate of which is usually closed, and when they saw Surdak coming with a group of cavalry, the guards at the gate hurriedly grabbed their spears to meet them.

"Lord Baron, are you going out of the city?" The guard asked.

"I'm going to go to the aid of Mayor Marco and help me open the gate!" Surdak sat on horseback and said with a cold face.

Then my city gate guards didn't talk much nonsense, and hurriedly waved the flags in their hands to the guards at the head of the city who were responsible for guarding the iron winch of the city gate.

As the winch was slowly pushed by ten aboriginal coolies, the iron fence like an iron fence slowly rose with a 'click' sound, each iron bar was the thickness of Surdak's big arm, the entire iron fence was three meters wide, seven meters high, and weighed several tons, but this was only the first gate of the city wall.

The thickness of the entire northern city wall is almost 30 meters at the bottom, and the gate hole of the north gate is also like a deep tunnel.

There are a total of five gates in front of and behind the north gate, which need to be opened one by one by the gate guards.

After waiting for a long time, until all the city gates were opened, Surdak led nearly two hundred cavalry into the V-shaped mountain pass canyon outside the northern city.
