Chapter Twenty-Three: The Siege

"Oh my God. "It's already shocking to have soldiers defending the city.

"Is this a caravan or an army?" many of the soldiers exchanged heads, feeling more and more strange.

If it's an army, how can there be so many wagons, if it's a caravan, then what's the matter with a bunch of Lion Realm infantry wearing leather wallets, leather boots, and leather gloves? For a moment, the many soldiers were confused.

However, the original interest has also decreased a lot, if the expectation is good, this trip, I am afraid that there are nobles sitting in the town, otherwise there will not be so many Lion Realm infantry with him.

Article 12 of the Alfred's Code states that the nobleman's team does not need to pay the entry tax, and the nobleman's caravan only needs to pay 50% of the entry tax.

"What a big posture," at this time, many soldiers defending the city had no intention of paying attention to the issue of the city entry tax, because the number of the other party kept appearing in the field of vision, and the front and back teams were only afraid that there were nearly a hundred people.

"How do you feel like they've just finished a war, so bloody. One of the officers guarding the city said, looking puzzled.

He can be regarded as having participated in the war, so he can naturally feel the thick murderous aura in the opposing team.

Now that there's a war? I haven't heard of it.

"Who are you?" the officer who defended the city had already instructed his soldiers to come forward and ask.

After all, with so many people, they can't just let each other get close to the city gate.

"I am Baron Leo Akmund," Leo said, pulling out a pale gold badge engraved with a sheathed arrow and a sharp arrow intertwined with flames, lightly trimmed with leaf textures, extremely delicate.

But soon, Li Luo also put away the badge, and the officer guarding the city glanced at the huge team, all of which carried the mark of Akmund, and the baron himself was in charge, which was really not oil and water at all.

As a city defender, his salary is much higher than that of officers of the same rank, almost five times more, of course, this also requires him to be proficient in the heraldic seals of the major nobles on the Pande continent, and he needs to know some information that circulates among the nobles.

Therefore, even a mere glance confirms that the badge is correct, that is, the young man in front of him is really the newly named young baron of Akmund, and it is rumored that as soon as he was knighted, he defeated Baron Wood of the neighboring barony and won a large village.

But soon, the officers defending the city also wondered, could it be that this baron, could it be that there was something on the way? Why was the whole team covered in blood, and it was obvious that a few people were injured.

Seeing the blood on the armor that had not yet completely fallen off, the officers defending the city were shocked, what was going on?

But fortunately, there was no need for him to ask, Leo had already said directly, "Duke Alama is in the city, I have urgent matters to report to Duke Alama . ”

Although the Duke of Alama has a noble status, in terms of strength alone, he can easily crush Leo with a little finger, and his financial resources are enough to buy countless Baronies of Akmund, and the big businessmen who are generally several times richer than Leo may not dare to ask for a meeting at will.

But Leo dared, because they both belonged to the aristocracy, in this country where there was a huge gap between the nobles and the commoners that could not be crossed, the status of the nobility was tantamount to one of the biggest capitals for the current Leo.

Of course, whether you want to see it or not depends on the mood of the great nobleman who is almost standing at the top of the continent, and Leo is not sure.

"Lord Baron, Duke Alama has been on his way to the Lion City this morning four days ago. The officer defending the city replied respectfully.

"Huh?" Leo was also slightly disappointed when he heard this, "Then the Governor is here?"

"Governor Wirther should be in the governor's office. The garrison officer replied.

"Thank you," Leo nodded faintly, and waved his hand to signal most of the team to camp on the spot, Captain Kari and another armored infantry accompanied ten Lion Realm infantry into the city, and of course more than a dozen caravan guards.

Changed into a suit of armor, the pale red silk robe was very decent on the face, and many guards accompanied him, which was extremely eye-catching.

"It's not small. "Changhe City, after all, is also a big city of Pande, and the citizens have all seen the world, so it didn't cause much of a sensation, and many people pouted and looked at this line and said.

"This team feels unusual, they all have a little murderous aura, not ordinary soldiers," some knowledgeable people saw a little bit of the doorway, and said with a frown.

......

"You mean, alien creatures?" At this time, Governor Wilt, who looked like a scholar, was also shocked when he heard Leo's narration, but after all, he was a member of the Alama family, and he was able to be the governor of Long River City, but he also had enough calm.

"Yes, the juniors have killed a lot of goblins and ogres on that battlefield, and brought some corpses, I feel that since they are hovering near Long River City, I am afraid that they may become a disaster in the future. Leo said the same in order to enhance his credibility.

"What!" Hearing Leo's addition, Governor Wirther couldn't sit still, frowned tightly, and after a moment picked up the parchment on one side, and then the quill pen quickly wrote something, and after a few moments, the rattle called in a squire.

"Send this letter to the Lion City as soon as possible, and deliver it to the Duke himself," said Governor Wirther with a serious face.

"Yes," the attendant saw the face of his governor, and also knew the seriousness of the matter, and secretly wondered in his heart what the two nobles were talking about, and he had to give the duke an urgent notice.

"Actually, it's not the first time I've heard of those goblins, and the so-called ogres," Governor Wirther said, looking at Leo and then speaking, "There have been some rumors before, but most of them are just looting some villagers, and no one cares.

We don't care that they are worse than the bandits, but as you say, the goblins and ogres, who are so powerful and able to join forces in large-scale battles, can be a big problem.

If an ordinary caravan encounters, I am afraid that it will be wiped out, and it will still have a great impact on Changhe City, even if the number of city guards is small, it is difficult to be perfect, and no one knows whether the number of people will increase. "After all, he is the governor of Long River City, and once he is involved in the prosperity of Long River City, he has enough courage.

It's just that Leo shook his head secretly, Governor Wilt has always had a good reputation, and he is also quite polite to him, but the contrast between before and after is also quite obvious.

Raiding the villagers does not have much impact, and the ordinary civilians have little sense of existence for the nobles of the Lion Realm, even if they are the Governor of Wirt, it is difficult to escape the vulgarity, and this country has become quite ......

"Go, Baron Leo, let's go and see the corpse you brought," said Governor Wirther.

"My lord comes with me," Leo was also a little respectful, although the other party was said to be a court earl, but he was a member of the Arama family, the governor of the vast Long River City, and his status was extremely high.

Halfway through, he saw an attendant hurrying over, and then panting and approaching Governor Wirt, seeing this, Leo also took two steps back.

"What?" Governor Wirther was still frowning, he had always paid attention to etiquette, and under his preference, all the attendants in the Governor's Mansion were also gentle and polite, and the attendants were so out of shape that their collars were not fastened, which really made him dislike, but after hearing what the other party said, he couldn't care about so much.

"Baron Leo, you don't have to go," Governor Wilt said next, causing Leo to frown slightly.

"My lord, could it be that something happened?" Leo could only guess like this, could it be that something had happened?

Otherwise, with the novelty of the ogre's corpse, how could Governor Wirther change his plans?

"The ogres are besieging the city," said Governor Wirt, frowning slightly, "I didn't expect those ogres to be so mad, but Baron Leo, you have miscalculated a little, according to the reports of those city guards, I am afraid that the number is only about five hundred."

Hmph, this person is not small, and he dares to fight the idea of Changhe City. ”

"What!" Hearing this, Leo also changed color, if they had encountered so many ogres before, they were afraid that they would have suffered a lot of casualties, "Then those subordinates of mine, please ......"

"Baron Leo, rest assured, they have naturally entered the city," said Governor Wilt, "but Baron Leo, you have already fought the ogre, please come with me to explain the situation of these ogres."

Although their strength is not very good, the sentinels found that there is still a steady stream of backup, so it is better to be cautious. ”

There are not many people, hearing this, Leo had to smile helplessly, worthy of being the governor of Long River City, if the ogre is really as the other party said more than 500 people, I am afraid that the ordinary county will be difficult to contend with, this Governor of Wirt is so angry.

But after thinking about it, this Long River City is a big city that Pan De can count after all, it is mixed with fish and dragons, and the depth of the water is comparable to that of the royal capital, and it is normal for Governor Wirt to be so confident.
