Lord of Hyranza

Almost at the same time, the news that Suldak led the cavalry battalion to wipe out the sand bandits in the desert also spread like wildfire, especially the veterans in the cavalry battalion entrusted some of the spoils to their families. The villagers in every village almost have to survive the long dry period in spring. Miscellaneous grains, cassava, wild vegetables, and grass roots are almost the regular customers in the stomachs of the villagers. Live the hardest days.

After some villagers came to Woer Village, they realized that Suldak's victory in the desert was several times more brilliant than they thought. Horses, food, and women were all crowded in this small mountain village. The population is not even two thousand, but in almost an afternoon, the cavalry battalion has already recruited three hundred recruits.

Such a fast speed greatly exceeded the expectations of Suerdak and the old village chief.

In order to reduce the pressure of the population gathering in Wall Village, after obtaining 150 war horses, the Wall Village fleet was quickly formed. The village currently has nearly [-] four-wheeled carriages. The old village head let fifty four-wheeled carriages follow Luke's road-building team entered the depths of the barren land to repair cement roads. Currently, the cement road Luke mainly builds is almost the road network between Wall Village, Bump Mountain, and the Great Rift Valley.

In the past, the main force of road construction in the village was kobold slaves. Now some villagers in the wild north who can’t eat have offered to the old village head to join the road construction team in the village, just for the two meals a day provided.

These villagers migrated from the northern part of the barren land to Wall Village with Suldak's cavalry battalion. Due to the limitation of arable land here, it is impossible for the villagers to allocate fields to grow wheat immediately. The rations they brought from the barren north were not Not much, if you want to survive the dry season and settle down in Wall Village, you must leave as much of these rations as possible for your family members, and some physically strong laborers choose to join the road construction team.

The villagers in other villages are willing to build cement roads with Luke, and Suldak does not intend to make them work for nothing, so he discusses with the village chief Bright how much living allowances should be given to these villagers, and the village chief Bright is also considering this matter After they joined the road construction team, they couldn't let their family members still be hungry in the tent outside Wall Village, so after all the calculations, they decided to pay a monthly living allowance of ten silver coins.

Those who use this money to buy miscellaneous grains are still enough to feed a family, but it is only enough to fill their stomachs.

In this way, the village has to give out nearly ten gold coins for living allowances every month. The income from the Pubao Mountain Sulfur Mine is temporarily in the hands of the old village head, so it is not difficult for the village to take out this money.

With the arrival of spring, the construction team in the village will continue to build the five-level reservoir. According to Suerdak’s design, this reservoir will be composed of a low shallow pool, which will become a reservoir in the future The overflow pool in the rainy season will also become a large swimming pool in Wall Village in summer because the depth of the pool will not exceed one meter.

In addition to building a cistern, Suerdak also plans to expand more rowhouse-style buildings along the rowhouses outside the village entrance to accommodate the villagers who migrated to Wall Village from the barren north.

In addition, these female prisoners of war plundered back from the desert can also increase the population base of Wall Village, but if they want to let them stay, and they cannot be slaves, they need to integrate into some families in Wall Village , this kind of thing will be rejected by the mistress of the family to some extent, and only the old village chief Bright is the most suitable for this kind of work.

Suldak led the cavalry battalion to Bena City, and the fastest way was to take a magic airship from Hailansa City to Bena City.

It is necessary to recruit magic airships in Hailansa City. This matter cannot be resolved within a day. If the construction team in Wall Village wants to continue to grow and develop, it must go out of the barren land. Now there are It's a good start, so Suldak is going to take Charlie to Hailansa City to let him know his network in Hailansa City.

Only in this way can he receive business from the nobles in Hailansa City.

……

月光

silent night

Selena was lying on the wooden bed like a white sheep, her arms and slender legs were wrapped around Suldak's body like an octopus, the white and delicate skin like milk was in stark contrast to the bronze skin covered with burn scars .

She gently scraped Suldak's slightly hard Adam's Apple with her little finger, where there are extremely fine dark lines under the skin, every time Selina touches it, she will feel the throbbing of her heart Coercion.

In the night, her eyes were as magnificent as sapphires, and the straight bridge of her nose was almost attached to Suldak's side face.

She panted slightly, her legs resisted Suldak's aggression slightly.

"Take me to the Bailin plane, okay..."

She hugged tightly.

Suldak didn't expect Selena to make such a request.

Obviously, bringing Selina will greatly increase the combat power of the cavalry battalion, but the trouble is her identity. Such a formal expedition to the Bailin plane for a defense change mission, with an unknown woman by her side, is a challenge in itself. Big trouble, she is still the apostle of the Goddess of Darkness. Although the Temple of the Statue of Liberty has been completely lonely, such a heretical status will still not be accepted by everyone.

What's more, the magical arts she is best at are basically related to the night, and it is easy to be mistaken for a black magician.

The Green Empire Magic Union almost spared no effort in attacking the black magicians...

Thinking about it gives me a headache, the Bailin plane is not a barren land, how to conceal my identity is definitely the most troublesome thing.

"take me……"

Selena insisted.

Suldak pretended to think and said, "Let me think about how to cover up your identity."

Selena leaned into his ear and whispered: "Didn't you take Aphrodite to the city of Bena last time? How did you keep her from the sight of those magicians? I will also Well hidden."

Suldak patted his forehead hard.

"Well, I'm a little worried about leaving you in Wall Village, why don't I go to the Bailin plane with me."

Suldak said compromised.

The next moment, Selena came up for a kiss.

The moonlight fell into the snow, and fell on the floor of the bedroom through the glass window...

……

On the first day of March, the warm westerly winds from the southern Pai plateau finally reached the interior of the Bena province, blowing away the cold winds on the icy tundra.

The thin layer of ice and snow covering the barren land seemed to have melted most of it overnight, and large areas of red rocks and gray-white limestone were exposed, revealing the land's original appearance.

The snow on the surface is the last bit of water in the spring, silently infiltrating into the underground water veins in the barren land, and it will soon enter a four-month drought period.

This warm westerly wind barely reaches Oak Ridge before being held back by the rolling hills.

Suldak's cavalry battalion gathered at the entrance of Wall Village. 750 horses and [-] cavalrymen made the team look unprecedentedly large. Lu and Charlie rode horses on both sides of him, and the ogre Gullitum stood behind the crowd carrying a bone-crushing club. Whether it was a war horse or Selena's white camel, when he saw the ogre They were all trembling.

With Suldak waving his hand, the cavalry vanguard quickly rushed towards the Paglos Pass, crossed the pass, and quickly entered the rugged Oak Ridge.

Arrive at Hailansa City before sunset. It is impossible for a 500-man cavalry battalion to enter the city directly. Suldak must submit an application to enter the city to the Hailansa City Hall and the Guard Battalion General Assembly. At this time, the city gate is about to Closed, Suldak asked Andrew to take the cavalry battalion to station in the woodland next to the hotel outside the city.

Only take Samira, Selena, Viru and Charlie into the city of Hailansa.

Just seeing a cavalry regiment coming from outside the city, the city defense department of Hailansa City quickly got the news.

In the past two years, the bandits have made people panic. The guards on the city wall saw that the cavalry battalion was stationed next to the hotel, and their hearts were hanging in their throats.

But the guards of the city still did not dare to take it lightly. Seeing several knights entering the city in the afterglow of the setting sun, the guards at the gate realized that Baron Suldak was walking in the front. This time they were completely relieved.

They quickly removed the roadblock, and Suldak and his party finally entered the city of Hailansa just before the city gate closed.

"Baron Suldak!"

The guards at the city gate saluted Surdak.

He didn't even question the identities of the four people behind Suldak, but looked curious when he saw the white camel that Selena was riding.

Chapter 686 Arrival

After Suldak entered the city, he didn't stay in a hotel, but took people directly to the airport terminal in Hailansa city.

On the airport pier at dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun passes through the two towers on the airport, leaving two huge shadows on the ground.

It happened that a magic airship was slowly entering the airport, and there were still two magic airships hovering on the high tower platform inside the airport. The goods in wooden boxes and sacks entered the airship in an orderly manner along the front aisle of the magic airship.

The high tower of the airport terminal is brightly lit, and four-wheeled trucks are waiting under the airport terminal, unloading quickly.

There was a lot of people on the pier, very noisy.

A group of crew members are walking out of the airport shoulder to shoulder. It seems that they want to go to the tavern in Hailansa City for a drink, and maybe find a street girl to chat about life.

Suldak rode into the airport and saw the badge on Suldak's chest. The airport staff who wanted to stop him quickly stopped and cast a flattering look.

Walking directly to the ticket gate of the airport pier, Suerdak jumped off his horse. At this time, almost no one bought a ticket. A female staff member of the airport was dozing off on a chair at the ticket gate, with her head on the table. Almost buried between the arms.

Suldak stood in front of the wooden platform and tapped on the wooden platform with his fingers.

'tuk tuk tuk'

The female staff at the airport terminal woke up, looked up and saw Suldak staring at her with a smile, sat up straight quickly, quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and looked at Suldak a little embarrassedly, she First set his sights on Suldak's noble badge.

"My lord baron, where do you want to go, I can help you check the sailing schedule."

Seeing that Suldak was a nobleman, the female staff had a very upright attitude. She sat up straight, tied her messy hair back, stood up and said to Suldak.

"Bena City." Suldak replied.

While looking at the schedule intently, the female staff said:

"Well, there happens to be an airship moored on the high tower pier, but the supplies have not been collected yet, and it will probably stay for about three or four days. Recently, the magic airship travels frequently between Hailansa City and Bena City. You can't catch up with the voyage of this magic airship, and this magic airship that just docked is also on the route between Hailansa City and Bena City."

After finishing speaking, she took out different tickets for the magic airship from the ticket folder, and was about to ask Suldak which time slot she bought, when Suldak revealed a transfer order from her arms and pushed it to the In front of the female staff, he said calmly: "I need the airport pier to help me clear out two magic airships. I will set sail for Bena City before tomorrow evening. This is a call-up order."

The female staff member looked at the call-up order with a look of surprise, and quickly asked Suldak, "Ah, do you need to call up two magic airships?"

"That's right!" Suldak nodded.

"I'm going to call the supervisor right now, and I'll handle it for you right away!" The female staff quickly picked up the call-up order and walked quickly to the ticket sales desk, not forgetting to ask Suldak: "A plane war broke out in our province of Bena too. Yet?"

"Executing official duties, no notice!" Suerdak refused to answer the female staff member's question.

Surdak only waited for a short while, and then saw the female staff walking over quickly with a director of the airport terminal.

The supervisor in the middle of his life looked Suldak up and down, and carefully checked his noble badge. After confirming that Suldak's noble status and recruitment order were all right, he said:

"Lord Baron, we will arrange two magic airships for you immediately, and you can meet the boarding conditions before tomorrow evening. Do you have any special instructions? Water, food, and others..."

Suldak thought for a while and said: "Prepare water and food for 500 people during the voyage, and also prepare some fodder and drinking water for feeding the war horses. It will also require fodder for 750 war horses. Don't worry about the rest."

"Okay, these will probably be ready for you tomorrow." The director of the airport said tentatively.

He was afraid that Suldak would ask the magic airship at the airport terminal to set sail immediately, that would be the worst.

It's so late now, even if you want to gather the crew of the magic airship, it's impossible.

Suldak was not in such a hurry, he nodded and agreed.

When the director of the airport terminal took Suerdak to go through the formalities, he almost got a green light all the way, and set the boarding time at the airport terminal with almost no effort.

Although the director of the airport terminal was very curious about which plane Suldak would go to, he finally refrained from asking.

He returned the call-up order to Suldak, guaranteeing that the two magic airships would set sail as scheduled tomorrow afternoon.

Suldak then left the airport terminal.

Of course he didn't know that because of this call-up order, the airport pier was full of chaos that night, and the captains of the two magic airships had to recruit all the crew members overnight.

This kind of enlistment is very common in Bena Province, and according to the laws of war promulgated by the Green Empire, whether it is an airport terminal or a magic airship, it must fully cooperate with the military dispatch. For magic airships, although this kind of military control flight does not make much money , but there are also a lot of benefits, at least part of the tax can be exempted, and you can also apply for the best commercial route to Bena Province with the call-up order.

At present, there is no magic airship in the Green Empire that dares to openly refuse the call-up order, unless the magic airship itself has a great potential failure and has to be repaired in the shipyard immediately, otherwise once it is investigated by the Military Intelligence Department, it is just an excuse to delay, and it will follow. The penalty is definitely much greater than the price paid for temporary recruitment.

By the time we left the airport pier, the sky had completely darkened.

At this time, it was too late to go to the Hailansa City Hall and the guard camp to apply for permission to enter the city, so Suldak chose to stay at the Garden Plaza Hotel.

Karl was waiting in the hotel lobby, and when he saw Suldak push the door and walk in, Karl stopped chatting with the hotel owner Cohen and went directly to Suldak.

"Carl, why are you here?"

Suldak walked into the hotel with Samira, Selena, Viru and Charlie, and saw Karl come out.

Karl knew Samira, the half-elf archer, and had only met Selena, Charlie, and Viru a few times. His eyes stayed on Viru for a moment. Viru's body was almost covered with bandages, and he could only see his pair of eyes. His pupils were like an abyss of cold pools, so he looked away.

Unable to see what kind of strength Viru is, Karl asked Suldak:

"Isn't it heard that there is a cavalry battalion stationed outside the city? Not only the city defense guards have raised the alert level, but even the guard battalion has also taken action. When I saw Andrew, I realized that you actually formed a cavalry battalion without saying a word. A cavalry battalion, so you have a call-up order?"

A few people sat down in the rest area of ​​the hotel lobby. The proprietress Mrs. Cohen brought black tea. Seeing the delicate and sexy Selena, she couldn't help but take a few more glances, and the smile on her face could not help but have a hint of sourness.

Suldak said to Karl: "Well, I received a call-up order from Bena City when I came back from the desert. I just want to go to the guard camp tomorrow morning to submit an application for entering the city."

Although Karl knew about this a long time ago, seeing that Suldak actually built the cavalry battalion, Karl was naturally very envious, and said, "Tsk tsk, this time it is completely tied to the chariot of Marquis Luther. With this cavalry battalion, it is clear that you want to earn merit, and maybe when you come back, you will be a viscount."

"How about you go with me?" Suldak put his hand on Karl's shoulder and asked him with a smile.

"Forget it, the life in Hailansa City is still comfortable, I don't want to go anywhere for the time being!" Carl said lazily.

Suldak also knew that Carl would say this, so he said again: "You come here, which just saves me from looking for you. I brought Charlie here this time, and I also want to ask you to communicate in private. This year I plan to let Charlie Take the construction team out of Wall Village, and if you receive some projects in Hailansa City, you will usually have to take care of the construction team."

"No problem." Carl readily agreed. "I'm also very close to Charlie. If you encounter any trouble, just come to me."

……

The next morning, Suldak got the permission to enter the city from the city hall, and immediately left the city.

Before noon, he led the cavalry battalion into the city of Hailansa.

Five hundred cavalrymen lined up in a long line on Central Avenue. Many recruits from the cavalry battalion had never even been to Hailansa. Seeing the dazzling array of goods in the shops on both sides of the bustling street, their IQs almost plummeted. Looking around like a dumb goose.

However, veterans were interspersed in each squad in the cavalry battalion. With the reminders and timely remedies from the veterans, there was finally no trouble in the city.

The residents of Hailansa City were very curious about the ogre. A group of half-grown children chased after the cavalry battalion for three streets in a row, just to get a few more glimpses of the ogre.

Some residents felt that there might be another plane war breaking out somewhere, so they couldn't help asking all the way.

The cavalry battalion of Suldak is like a small stone, just a small splash in the big pond of Hailansa City.

More than 700 war horses swaggered through the city, and crowds of onlookers filled the Central Street.

However, the chaotic scene didn't last long. Suldak brought the cavalry battalion to the airport pier, where two magic airships had already parked on the high tower platform. The cavalry led their horses and walked along the The revolving steps of the high tower climbed onto the platform, and the war horses were led by the veterans into the temporary stables converted from the bottom warehouse.

The boarding process was also extremely smooth, and the sun had not yet set when the magic airship lifted off.

Suldak, Viru, and Andri stood on the deck of the bow. Hailansa is a mountain city with a very delicate layout. At this moment, it is bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, and the roof tiles are like golden scales.

At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the high-altitude wind is bitingly cold. Just standing on the deck for a while will make you feel icy cold all over your body, and after a while, you will be frozen hard.
