Chapter 312: The Guard

More importantly, the county town of Sadrand is located in the westernmost part of Moxi Province, almost less than 100 miles away from the territory of the steppe people, and if you are fast by horse, you can reach the Geerqin grassland in less than half a day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It is conceivable that whether it is the steppe people or Macedonia, the first pass to launch an eastern crusade into Moxi Province is naturally their own county town of Sadland!

Under the front of the army, the days of the county town of Sadland will naturally not be much desirable. In fact, in history, whenever a war broke out in Moxi Province, the first to bear the brunt of it was the county seat of Sadland, without exception! And what is even more helpless is that because Sadland is located in the western part of the desert, whenever the invading army retreats, the county town of Sadland is used as the last stronghold, and naturally there are even more wars.

Since the establishment of Moxi Province in the Empire, there have been dozens of large and small battles recorded in Sadrand County over the past few hundred years, and there have been three large-scale wars in the city of Sadrand County in a hundred years. Such frequent battles would be unimaginable in the south of the empire, but even in the northwest, the location of the county town of Saddland is rather awkward.

José sat in the carriage, looking out the window at the vast northwest, and couldn't help but feel a little desolate in his heart: no matter what, this is the situation in front of him.

The convoy traveled for three days before finally arriving at Valen, the capital of Moxixing Province.

Coming to this place of the capital of Moxi again, Jose didn't have time to feel too much. Before he arrived, he had already sent the cavalry of the Central Army to the city of Valen in advance, after all, according to the rules of the empire, a county guard like him had to report to the governor's mansion before he arrived.

When the convoy entered the city gate, José saw a group of men and horses waiting at the gate of Valen from a distance, all of the cavalrymen were wearing leather armor uniforms, and their crotch was also a high-headed horse from the northwest, standing majestically with their eyes high.

Jose quickly stepped out of the carriage, dressed in a black robe, without any military attire. Among the greeting people, there was a carriage parked at the front, led by an imperial official who was not burly and also wore a civilian uniform. José took a closer look and recognized that this official was the guy named Weil who had been overseer in Moxi before.

"Lord Viscount Sadland, speaking of which, this is the second time we have met, do you remember me?Captain of the garrison of Valen, Dallas Vail!" That Vale saw Joser get out of the carriage, and also stepped forward a few steps, smiling and performing a noble etiquette.

There is no doubt that although this guy seems to be weak and weak, he is very restrained in his conversation. Joseph had inquired about this guy before, and this Wei was also from a noble family trusted by the emperor from the imperial capital, even before the Sistine came to Moxi. In the early years, this guy hung a not low civilian position in the military department, some similar to a position like a staff officer, he did not have a knighthood himself, but there was a title of earl in his family, which was his father.

After the outbreak of the war in the northwest, the emperor seemed to trust this guy, so he was sent by Mondevia IV to oversee the army in Moxi. But although it is nominally so, everyone knows that this guy is just an eye arranged by the emperor in the northwest. However, what is somewhat surprising is that after the end of the war in the northwest, this guy was directly entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, and he was not transferred back to the military headquarters to be promoted and rich, but continued to be placed in the northwest, and even served as an important position as the county guard of Valen City. It can be seen that this guy is also extremely trusted by Montevideo IV, and like that Sistine, he was placed in the northwest by the emperor to control the Northwest Army in Moxi.

When Jose heard him say this, he only smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Lord Weir is polite, you can call me Jose, everyone is an imperial official, and Joseph's mind is just to share his worries for His Majesty the Emperor." I had seen Lord Weil in Valen a few days ago, and how could I forget. ”

To be honest, Jose doesn't really have a good impression of this guy, because Suya has also mentioned this guy, and her evaluation of Vail is that "there is more than enough success and more failure", except for causing chaos in the Northwest War and qualifying to fulfill his duties as an "overseer", there is nothing worth mentioning.

I'm afraid that the only place where this guy can be trusted by Mondevia IV is because this Weil is very obedient, and it is better to let this guy stay in the northwest than to send an imperial official who doesn't know anything about the northwest to come to his post.

"Okay, then I'll call you Jose. Hehe, Lord Sistine knows that you are going to Valen City today, so he specially asked me to come here to meet you, come, get in the car with me!" Will didn't seem to see what Joseph meant, and his attitude did not change, but smiled faintly, and directly stepped forward to pull Joseph into the carriage. Jose raised his eyebrows, and his subordinates quietly brushed away Will's hand, deliberately leaned slightly to the side, and naturally entered the carriage parallel to Will.

After the two got into the carriage, Joseph looked at Wei who was smiling, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: this guy served as the county guard of Valen City, and said that he was the prefect of all the military and political affairs in charge of the capital of Moxi Province, but he looked so weak, he even used a carriage to travel like this, where else did he look like a military commander?

However, Weir didn't care about this, after he and Jose sat down, he glanced at Joseph lightly, and said with a deliberate smile: "Lord Joseph has come from afar, it must have been extremely hard, Lord Sistine has long heard that you are in the imperial capital, and this year's New Year's celebration has received many favors from His Majesty the Emperor, and there will be no more than two or three people in the entire empire if you are so young and deeply appreciated by Your Majesty!"

When Wei Er said this, his eyes flashed a little eagerly, and the smile on his face became a little thicker: "Speaking of which, we are all just serving Your Majesty, Lord Joseph has already held such an important position at a young age, His Majesty the Emperor's appreciation for you is so important, presumably Lord Joseph's future future must be limitless!"

Jose smiled coldly in his heart, but he still smiled faintly on his face: "Lord Weir is polite, I'm just a young man who doesn't know anything, and in the future, in the Moxi, I want Lord Weir and Lord Sistine to help me a lot!"

Wei Erha smiled, only feeling that the young man in front of him spoke and acted with some calm bearing, although he was young and ambitious, he was not as flamboyant as those ordinary noble children, but a calm guy.

Although he also knew that Joseph's previous relationship with Su Ya was not ordinary, but since this guy can be appreciated by His Majesty, I am afraid that he also has some outstanding points.
