Chapter 49: Sunset City Tavern II
Hart is worthy of being the owner of the tavern, and he has quite a bit of information.
At this time, there was an even greater change in the Klein Territory, and the usurped Joey actually declared the independence of the Crane Territory, which was an extremely stupid act.
It is said that the Empire has sent an army to lead the Klein Lead, and the Empire is not only going to defeat the independent Joey, but also to force the Seatta people back.
At the same time, Reinhardt's rebels took the opportunity to declare their war for the Empire, and his move was supported by the Empire, and he was named the new Earl of Klein.
At this point, Reinhardt's army was no longer a rebel, and he was now the rightful Earl of Klein.
Reinhardt's move was not particularly clever, and even failed in Cross's opinion.
Reinhardt did this to obviously use the power of the Empire, but in reality, the Empire only wanted to use his power.
This was evident to many lords, so after Reinhardt was appointed by the empire as the new earl of Klein, he did not receive much support from the lords.
Most lords will be more conservative in this chaotic situation, because the Klein Lords are not only civil strife now, but the greater threat to the Klein Lords is the invasion of the Kingdom of Seajarda.
There are even some minor lords who have surrendered to the Kingdom of Seajarda.
Moreover, after Reinhardt became the new earl, he would inevitably become the primary target of the Seatta army, and he could only turn the spearhead that was originally aimed at Joey to the Seayatta army.
Reinhardt was likely to be under attack by this time, but his genius military skills should be more than enough to deal with the current predicament.
It's just that Cross is sure that Reinhardt won't last long.
As for Joey, the information given by Hart is a bit interesting, Seajarda's army was able to break through the Castle of Immortality, and Joey had a lot to contribute.
Some people even speculate that Joey deliberately lured Seatta's army, he transferred the original defenders of Buluo Fort, arranged for a leader who was eager for quick success, and the new defender went out of the city to meet the battle, and Buluo Fort was easily broken by the enemy army.
All of Joey's actions were just to satisfy his personal desires, and for him, Klein had an external trouble, and the success rate of his usurpation was higher.
Of course, Hart also informed Cross of the rumor, "Cross Klein is the hope of Klein Collar." ”
For such rumors, Cross could only respond with a smile.
In addition to Klein's intel, Hart also provided some information about Kersman's empire.
After being invaded by the Kingdom of Seyada, the Quesman Empire was invaded by the northern Slavic Empire. The current situation of the Kersman Empire is not optimistic.
Fortunately, in terms of military affairs, the empire is more well-established than kingdoms and religious states. Moreover, the empire has the largest territory and the most abundant resources, and even if the kingdom of Seatta and the cult of Slantil are exhausted, they will not necessarily be able to destroy the Kersman Empire.
However, even so, the invasion of the two great powers is bound to have a significant impact on the empire.
Cross was satisfied with the information provided by Hart, but he also wanted to know more specific information about Crane Collar.
"Mr. Hart, do you know where Seajarda's army is right now?"
"Hahaha......" Hart laughed, his bulging belly flicking rhythmically in laughter, "Your Excellency, how can I, as a tavern, know about this kind of thing, if you want to know, you can go to the lord's castle and ask." ”
"Please lead the way. ”
Hart nodded.
......
Along the way, Cross didn't have to gather intelligence, he observed the road very comfortably.
From the appearance alone, the houses in Sunset City are much stronger than those in Copper Mountain, and there are many small vendors on both sides of the road, and there are many people coming and going, and the prosperity of this place is even close to some of the big cities in the middle of Klein's territory.
This is still very different from Cross's imagination of Sunset City, he believes that cities located in the border are generally more military-oriented and not very good at business, but the prosperity of Sunset City has also opened Cross's eyes.
"Your Excellency, it's a little uncomfortable to walk with you, you two are too attention-grabbing. Hart said suddenly.
Only then did Cross react, and the people around him were secretly looking at him, and seemed to be whispering something.
"Your Excellency, don't worry, they should all know Your Excellency just like I do. Who lives in Klein Territory doesn't know Silver-Eyed Cross. ”
"I see, it looks like business in the tavern is going to be very hot tonight. ”
"Hahaha, they may not only want to come to the tavern to see you, your maid has also attracted the attention of those people, especially men. ”
"Oh, is my maid too beautiful?"
"Hahaha, Your Excellency's direct personality is really rare among nobles. ”
Cross glanced at Nia, who was still following her with a blank face, all the way around.
"Your Excellency, the front is here. I'm not going to go. Hart said, pointing to the castle not far away.
In fact, there is no need for Hart to introduce it, and Cross can guess that such a conspicuous castle can only be the castle of the lord.
"Okay, thank you for showing us the way. ”
"It is my pleasure to share your worries. Your Excellency, I will prepare a sumptuous dinner for you at the tavern, so please don't come back too late. ”
"Good. ”
Hart bowed with his fat frame, then turned to leave.
Looking at the lavish castle, Cross couldn't help but sigh, "This lord will really enjoy it." ”
"It's the first time I've seen such a big castle. Nia, who hadn't spoken all the way, finally spoke.
"Gawain must have liked this. ”
Nia couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she heard this.
The two arrived at the castle gate and were stopped by the castle's guards.
"You're Lord Cross Crane, aren't you?"
"Exactly. ”
"What do you want to see our lord?"
Cross removed the greatsword he was carrying behind him.
"The town of Copperhill has been attacked by the Goblin forces of Seatta Goblins, and this blood-stained greatsword is Reiner's. ”
"Reiner's sword?" the guard doubled over the greatsword, it was indeed Reiner's.
"This sword doesn't mean anything, it only proves that Reiner's greatsword is stained with blood. If you don't come up with more favorable evidence, I won't inform our lord.
Even if you are the adopted son of the late Earl. ”
Cross smiled and handed the greatsword to Nia, then pulled out something completely wrapped in leaves from the package behind him.
"What is this?" the guard wondered.
"Just open it and see. ”
After the guard took it, a fresh scent came to his face, but he also smelled a slight stench mixed with the fragrance.
