Lord of Hyranza

"It's like today...the gates are all blocked, and you almost spit in your face, why don't you beat them out?" Suldak scolded, "As a city guard, I was killed by a group of local armed groups. If you block the gate, I will be ashamed for you."

These city guards were all young people, and they all blushed when they were scolded by Suldak.

Suldak shouted: "If this happens again in the future, I hope that before I arrive... either you will drive back all those mercenaries, or you will still be defeated by those mercenaries after doing your best." Knock them all down, if it’s the former, I will give you rewards personally, if you’re all knocked down by mercenaries, I’ll bring you back, instead of being cowardly like you are now!”

"Except for the guards on the city wall tonight, everyone runs around the yard for me. Don't stop before dark!"

After Suldak finished speaking, the squadron leaders of these city defense guards issued orders one after another, and lined up to run on the playground.

Captain Hans followed Suldak carefully, but Suldak ignored him, still holding the parchment booklet in his hand, and walked directly towards the warehouse under the city wall, five four-wheeled trucks Still parked at the door of the warehouse, the goods have not been unloaded.

There are a total of ten warehouses transformed from holes in the city wall under the northern city wall. The gates of these warehouses here are all iron doors more than four meters high, and the iron locks hanging outside weigh dozens of kilograms.

A fat man in leather armor ran over quickly from the warehouse and stood in front of Suldak with a guilty look on his face, his eyes kept looking at Captain Hans behind him.

Suldak asked him: "Are you the warehouse manager of the guard brigade?"

The fat man in leather armor nodded repeatedly and said, "Jeremy, the warehouse manager, has seen Commander!"

Suldak ordered: "Go and open the warehouse!"

"Oh!" Administrator Jeremy hurried back.

With the rumbling sound, a person pushed open a four-meter-high iron gate.

After the big iron door was pushed open by the administrator, Suldak saw the sliding rails hoisted on the upper lintel. No wonder such a heavy and heavy iron door could be opened by him so easily.

Administrator Jeremy stood at the door of the warehouse, while Suldak and Andrew walked over and looked inside...

Except for a mouse that slipped away along the corner of the wall, the entire warehouse was empty and there was nothing.

Andrew and Suldak looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while, and Suldak said coldly to the warehouse manager Jeremy: "Go and open all the doors of other warehouses."

rumbling...

rumbling...

As the big iron doors were pushed away, the ten warehouses were actually empty.

Suldak's scalp was numb. On the city wall, he saw stacks of heavy crossbow shafts piled up in the courtyard of the City Defense Brigade, and the wooden shelves beside the wall were filled with materials such as rolling stones. He thought that the City Defense Brigade had more supplies in the warehouse. Unable to put it down, they piled up these three-meter-long heavy crossbow shafts in the yard.

In any case, they never expected that Mayor Marko and Captain Hans would be so courageous. The animal horde was approaching, and there were no reserves in the material warehouse, and they even transferred out the last batch of reserves in the warehouse.

"Where are the standing supplies in these warehouses?" Suldak walked into the empty warehouse, turned around and asked Captain Hans who was standing at the door, "Only those on the truck?"

His voice echoed in the empty warehouse.

Captain Hans followed behind, lowered his head and said to Suldak: "Oh, even the supplies on the truck outside belong to Dodan Town. The guard brigade gave a copper coin."

Suldak asked Captain Hans: "The City Defense Brigade has been using Dodan Town's tax revenue to maintain daily expenses and material reserves?"

"It's almost like this. The tax revenue of Dodan Town has not been very good in the past few years. The nobles in the town don't need to pay taxes to the town. The aborigines are too poor to wear pants. The largest business tax is the town Trading houses on the Internet, but they always trade in private, and tax evasion is already the norm." Captain Hans complained to Suldak.

Seeing Suldak standing silently in the warehouse, Captain Hans said again: "Mayor Marko also has his difficulties, but we still support you very much if you want to manage the city defense brigade."

Suldak walked up to Captain Hans, patted his shoulder, and said in a gentle voice: "Before I came to the Bailin plane, I had been working in the guard battalion of Hailansa City. Do you think I don't understand city guards?" The brigade's operating system?"

Captain Hans cast his eyes aside, and said: "I'm just the captain of the city defense brigade in a small town. You should have your own choice."

Suldak said: "The military department requires towns to withhold a certain amount of tax revenue every year to support the local defense garrison. This is done no matter which town they go to. Regardless of daily expenses or stockpiles, there is a minimum depreciation supplement every year. Now the town of Dodan has been evading this expenditure for so many years, and the lawsuit has been brought to the House of Representatives in Wilkes City. It is estimated that Marko, the mayor of the town, will not be able to keep his title of noble baron..."

Suldak walked out of the warehouse, looked at Captain Hans with pity, and said:

"You can speak so confidently in front of me, it seems that you really have little knowledge and don't understand anything!"

When Captain Hans heard what Suldak said, his legs felt a little weak.

After a pause, Suldak asked him again: "Are you married yet?"

Captain Hans shook his head and said, "Not yet..."

Suldak smiled slightly and said:

"That's okay, at least your child won't be implicated."

Captain Hans sat down on the ground...

Chapter 721 Takeover

Seeing Captain Hans walking out of the city defense brigade in a daze, the warehouse manager Jeremy could only bite the bullet and ask Suldak:

"Commander Suldak, what should we do with these goods?"

Suldak looked at the five four-wheeled trucks parked in front of the warehouse, waved his hand casually, and said, "Go and call some people to move all these materials into the warehouse."

Jeremy nodded repeatedly, and ran towards the playground with a shy stomach. He was also a person with a lot of words in the city defense brigade, and negotiated a few words with the captain of the guard who was running around the playground. , successfully brought back a dozen guard soldiers, and everyone hurriedly moved these black fire oil barrels back to the warehouse.

Even if all the goods on the five four-wheeled trucks were moved back to the warehouse, it would not fill a warehouse.

Warehouse manager Jeremy moved the materials back into the warehouse, quickly made a new list of accounts, and handed it to Suldak with a look of apprehension.

At this time, the guards who were changing defense came down from the city wall and looked blankly at the guards running around on the playground. Someone ran over curiously and asked what was going on. Only then did they know that the cavalry battalion of the garrison in the town had taken over the city defense brigade.

There is an independent single-storey building in the courtyard of the city defense brigade, which is the office of each captain and the lounge and dining room of the city defense team.

These guard warriors who came down from the city wall will settle their dinner in the canteen.

Andrew saw five four-wheeled trucks slowly driving out of the city defense brigade, and said with some emotion: "The people here are really brave. If they dare to steal and sell military supplies at this time, aren't they afraid of being sent to the House of Representatives for trial?"

Surdak stood under the flagpole of the military flag on the playground and said:

"After all, this is a remote border town. It seems that the military department has not been here for a long time to inspect. In the past few years, the town has been managing the city defense brigade. It is rotten from top to bottom."

"The beast horde in the Warcraft Forest is about to move. They dare to move out all the materials in the warehouse at this time. It is estimated that the materials transported from Wilkes City are already on the way."

"As long as it works properly this time, it will be able to make up for the deficit before the beast tide."

"When the beast tide is over, who knows how much supplies are consumed to resist the beast tide, and if the accounts are made more beautiful, no one will probably find out."

He rubbed his stiff face, and the indifferent smile of Anthony, the manager of the trading house, appeared in his mind. He tapped his forehead lightly and said, "It seems that we may have been tricked by the trading house today."

Seeing Andrew's puzzled face, Suldak explained to him: "This time the looting incident outside the town, the trading group and the mayor of Marko are completely torn apart. It is estimated that the business group identified it as Mayor Marko's. People intercepted their adventurous group of exiled criminals in the forest outside the town, and in the morning, the city defense brigade inspected the convoy of the trading firm out of the city. The two sides are already on fire."

Suldak smiled helplessly, and said: "The business group dared to send an armed group to block the gates of the city defense brigade at this time, because they saw the opportunity when Marco was about to transport the last batch of supplies out of the city defense brigade. Forcing us to come forward."

He pointed to the two city guards who ran around with everyone in the team on the playground, and said: "Tomorrow, you might as well check the two city guards who tipped us off. I guess those two guards are not Marko. Sent."

Andrew nodded.

Suldak told him again: "You go to Samira later and ask her to keep an eye on Marko tonight. If he dares to evacuate the city defense brigade at this time, he probably has already paved the way out."

Unexpectedly, when I first arrived in Dodan Town, I received such a mess.

"Does he want to leave Dodan Town at this time?" Andrew asked in surprise.

Suldak sighed and said, "If he can make the town like this, what else would he not dare to do!"

Andrew nodded and said, "Just count the time, Samira and the others should be back, okay, I'll go right away."

……

Andrew left the city defense brigade on horseback, and Suldak began to call officers above the captain level of the city defense team for a meeting.

The 300-person city defense brigade has five squadron leaders and fifty squadron leaders. Four squadron leaders are Bena people, one squadron leader is a local aborigine, and more than half of the fifty squadron leaders are aborigines.

Twenty squad leaders led their team's guards to watch the night on the north city wall, and only 29 squad leaders participated in this meeting.

There is only one chair on the high platform in this room, and there are rows of benches below. The captains sit on the benches and talk in a low voice.

Suldak sat on the chair and looked at the captains in the room without saying a word. After a while, the voice in the conference room gradually became quieter, until finally there was no sound, and everyone focused on Suldak. .

Surdak looked around, then said:

"I think everyone here already knows that the mayor of Marko officially handed over the military power of the city defense force to me this afternoon. Let me introduce myself first. I am Suldak, the commander of the Independent Cavalry Battalion of the Luthor Legion. Danzhen, before completing this garrison mission, I will manage the city defense team with everyone."

A group of captains in the room all stood up and saluted Surdak.

Surdak asked everyone to sit down again, and continued:

"Everyone probably knows that the adventure groups in the town are leaving one after another because of the sudden surge of monsters in the Invercargill Forest of Warcraft in the northern part of the town. The beast tide is approaching, and the adventure groups cannot continue hunting there, so they retreat one after another. Get out of Dodan."

"In the next period of time, it may be our most difficult time. Before the Wilkes Army and the Luther Army send reinforcements, the city guards and the independent cavalry battalion will jointly resist this beast tide. Here I would like to investigate, among you present, has anyone experienced the last beast horde?"

A squadron leader stood up and said, "Report, Commander Suldak, the last beast swarm was ten years ago, and those who resisted the beast swarm have already served their full military service!"

Suldak nodded, expressing his understanding.

Then he said: "Starting tomorrow, except for the guards who need to be on duty on the north city wall, all members must be fully armed for morning exercises and bring your full set of weapons. I need to have a comprehensive understanding of your abilities. One is physical fitness, martial arts, military formation, and then the operation of ordnance on the city wall, including bed crossbows, rolling stones, kerosene, fire scale bombs, and standard military crossbows."

His voice was slightly raised, a faint coercion emanated from him, his eyes swept across everyone's faces again, and he said:

"During this period, all guards are not allowed to be absent for leave without reason."

All the captains in the conference room stood up and shouted in unison:

"Yes."

Chapter 722 Materials

At night, Suldak returned to the Red Dragon Chamber through the gate of Aphrodite's summoning, and Iser was still lying in the secret room, waiting eagerly for Suldak to bring the red crystal to feed and learn the language of runes.

Today's Iser can already speak a few simple words in the Imperial language. Apart from the name of Suldak, the simple words such as 'eat', 'hungry' and 'you are here' have been completely mastered by the red dragon Iser. It is possible to exchange a few words with Suldak, but it is still impossible to describe the specific situation of the plane where it is located.

Suldak guessed that the red dragon Iser must be in another plane, and the relief stone wall in the red dragon's treasure is a portal for the red dragon to travel through at will, and it seems that only the red dragon can Shuttle freely.

Suldak tried it, but to him the relief stone wall was still cold and hard, just a stone wall at all.

One night passed in the blink of an eye for Surdak and Iser.

However, when Suldak first arrived in Dodan Town, the situation there has not been fully opened, especially because he was worried that Mayor Marko absconded in fear of crime last night, so he said goodbye to Iser early and left the Red Dragon Chamber.

On the side of the sulfur mine, the kobold slaves have all gone to the upper reaches of the lava river to mine sulfur, and they continue to provide sulfur to the firearms workshop in Constantinople.

When I came to the sulfur mine this time, I happened to meet Luke.

With sufficient water in the reservoir, Wall Village has started spring plowing in the dry season.

The bandit group on the other side of the desert has not come to the barren land for a while. Luke led the kobold slave road repair team to pave the volcanic ash cement road to the south side of the Grand Canyon, and built roads at many intersections. Some sentries.

Charlie's construction team also received orders from the nobles in Hailansa City, and took a group of bricklayers to the outskirts of Hailansa City to build villas.

On the other hand, due to the surge in population in Wall Village, the old village chief, Uncle Brett, is expanding according to Suldak's plan. In addition to the townhouses in the village, two rows of townhouses have been built at the entrance of the village. Another market was circled at the entrance of the village.

The village is developing very fast, with a population of more than a thousand people, it is more like a small town in a barren land.

……

Hurrying back to Dodan Town, Suldak walked out of the small building.

There was a lot of noise from the courtyard of the barracks. Nearly twenty four-wheeled trucks were parked in the courtyard. The cavalry were unloading the supplies in the cargo compartments. The boxes of supplies seemed extremely heavy. Except for some military supplies, there were also There are whole sacks of wheat flour and marching rations.

There is no special clerk in the cavalry battalion. Selena is wearing a cashmere dress, holding a parchment account book in her hand, and is counting supplies with a quartermaster.

"Ah! You're back! So many supplies came suddenly this morning. Andrew said you went out and asked me to count these supplies. This quartermaster who came from Wilkes City is the person in charge of the transport team."

Selena said to Suldak who was standing at the door of the small building.

She put on a little lipstick, as charming as a red rose that just bloomed.

The quartermaster in uniform saluted Surdak and said:

"Handel, the clerk of the Wilkes Logistic and Quartermaster Office, has seen the Baron."

Suldak came down from the steps and said:

"I'm Suldak, the commander of the Independent Cavalry Battalion of the Luthor Legion, Handel, can you briefly introduce these supplies to me."

Handel nodded, walked ahead, pointed to a four-wheeled truck closest to the small building and said:

"Commander Suldak, there are only [-] boxes of heavy crossbow arrows and [-] boxes of fire scale bullets in this batch of supplies. In addition, there are [-] boxes of refined steel arrow clusters on the two trucks. This truck is equipped with five Hundred-armed five-barreled army crossbow... ten boxes of armor pieces."

Twenty four-wheeled trucks were almost full of combat supplies, and even if all the cavalry of the Suldak Cavalry Battalion were transferred to the city wall, these supplies would not be used up.

"Why are there so many supplies this time?" Suldak asked Handel.

Handel said: "Of course, in order to cope with the upcoming beast horde, Chester's deputy army commander is mobilizing some troops from other small towns to reinforce the five pass towns that bear the brunt of the beast horde, Dodan is one of them , and these materials are only the first batch, and more materials will be delivered in the future."

"In the next period of time, nearly [-] heavy armored infantrymen and [-] archers will arrive in Dodan Town one after another, and your place will become more lively than it is now."

Suldak saw that the whole yard was piled up in a mess, and Selina couldn't do it alone, so he asked her:

"Where's Andrew?"

Selena stopped the charcoal in her hand and replied:
