Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 131 Landing in Galicia (1)
Bergadeo is the northernmost port town in Galicia. People here have a good income due to maritime trade. Of course, this refers to the past. Now the Galician Territory and the Stewart Territory are at war, and the other side's warships have blocked the waterway.
Especially after witnessing two merchant ships being sunk in the port, no more merchants came.
"Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor, the ship led by Stewart is here. It seems they want to land." The captain of the town's militia shouted and rushed in.
"What? Take me to see it quickly." The mayor quickly put on his clothes and ran out with the militia captain.
Although the opponent's battleships sank the ships in the port before, they just left. Today, they actually wanted to land. This is an incredible thing.
Standing on the wall of the town and looking towards the port, sure enough, there were several merchant ships flying the Stuart flag docked next to the trestle, and soldiers were already disembarking from the ships.
As for the people at the port, they have long since disappeared. Although the aristocrats have nothing to do with civilians when fighting, after all, they have no eyesight, so it is better to stay away.
"Mr. Mayor, what should we do?" the militia captain asked.
"If they attack, let's surrender." The mayor has already seen the knights in full body armor. There are only dozens of militiamen in the town. If they want to resist, it's not like they are using their arms as a chariot.
A militiaman standing next to him raised his bow and nocked an arrow and said, "Shooting an arrow in front of the enemy is worthy of your lordship."
The militia captain quickly grabbed his hand and cursed: "Are you blind? Didn't you see the ranger on the other side? You shot an arrow and were seen, and the other side shot an arrow over. Did you die unjustly?"
"Yes, yes, I'm blind." The militiamen holding bows and arrows were so frightened that they were sweating coldly.
The militia captain was talking about the fifth-level archer Floy led by Stuart. The longbow he carried was very eye-catching.
At this time, the seventh-level knight Eric Bernard had led the soldiers to a place fifty meters away from the town wall, shouting: "I am Eric, the knight of the Earl of Stuart, let the mayor come out and speak."
"I am the mayor." The mayor stretched out half of his body from the wall and shouted.
"Resist or surrender?"
"Surrender, surrender!"
"Then open the town gate!"
After a while, the town gate opened, and the mayor came out with the militia captain and others.
"My Lord Knight, please give me your orders." The mayor said after saluting.
"The Earl is on the ship, please arrange a place to live."
"Oh, yes, yes."
The best house in the town was naturally the villa where the mayor lived. He immediately gave it up. After Elena arranged for people to clean it, she invited Kristen and Alicia to get off the boat and live in it.
I don't know how long this landing operation will last. It's not okay to let Alicia go without "eating" for such a long time, so she followed her. It is true that foreign races are not allowed to participate in the human aristocratic war, but it does not say that they cannot meet relatives and friends of foreign races. Since she has not actually participated in the war, she is not afraid of what others will say.
.
Town Hall.
Knight Eric sat at the top and asked: "Mayor, have you sent out the people who reported the news to La Coruna?"
The mayor smiled and said, "I just wanted to tell you whether this person should be sent to the faction or not."
"It's okay, just do whatever you want."
"Okay, okay."
Under normal circumstances, the village chief of an occupied town will always send someone to report to his lord, but the question is who knows what the occupying party thinks. What if they want to keep it secret, wouldn't it be unfair if he was killed because of this matter.
"According to the rules of noble war, Bergadeo is now occupied by our Stuart Territory."
"clear."
"Normally we would station soldiers, but there are not so many of them now. Does the mayor recommend a mercenary group?"
"Valek and his brothers are good and well-known in the town."
"Then call them over."
After a while, several people dressed as mercenaries were brought in by the militia captain.
"Salute to you, Lord Knight." The leader of the bald man said, and the others also saluted.
"Are you Valek?"
"Yes."
"You look like you have barbarian blood?"
"Yes, my lord, my father is a barbarian and my mother is an Iberian."
"Oh, I heard from the mayor that you and your partners are very good. I am going to hire you. Your task is to garrison the town of Bergadeo on behalf of the Stewart Territory."
"this.."
Valek hesitated after hearing this. Nobles will definitely pay more in commission than ordinary people, but the risk of participating in a war between two territories is also very high.
Knight Eric saw his concerns at a glance and said: "Just stationed on behalf of the territory does not require you to participate in the war. If the soldiers of the Earl of Galicia come over, you can run away or surrender. "
"Then we'll have no problem." Since he won't participate in the war, he has to accept this mission.
"Then sign the agreement."
As the priest of the port town is naturally the god of order, an agreement was quickly drawn up. Valek saw that it was exactly what he said, so he signed without hesitation.
After putting away the agreement, Eric Knight said: "Mayor, the cost of hiring will be paid by the town."
"No problem, no problem."
In fact, the main reason why the party occupying the village sends troops to guard it is to prevent bandits from taking advantage of the troubled waters, so mercenaries can also play a role. The nobility on the mainland have been passed down for so many years. Even if it is a war between each other, some details have been taken into consideration and rules have been formed.
"Mayor, Valek, we are going to another village next and we need a few guides who are familiar with the roads."
"As ordered."
The next day, after resting, Christine took the people and set off to begin the operation to occupy the Galician Territory.
It was more like playing than fighting. In order to ensure the comfort along the way, she not only brought the carriage but also brought the maid and chef, and even packed several carriages with some daily necessities.
In terms of force, there are ten knights and fifty guard cavalry led by Eric, the wizard Ramos Aiken who has been promoted to the third level, and Ronnie Stedruid who has also been promoted to the third level.
Every time we go to a village, we send people to shout and the other side surrenders. Then we find a priest to come over and testify that we have occupied this place, and then we recruit mercenaries for garrison. It doesn't matter if some villages don't have mercenaries. The village can just pay to recruit more young men to strengthen patrols, and everyone rushes to sign up for free jobs.
It seems that this fight is just a joke, but in fact it is really like this. The affairs of noble gentlemen have nothing to do with ordinary people. Finally, after the war was over and an armistice was signed, they would pay taxes to whoever owned the village. Even many people in the noble foreign territories had only heard the name of the lord but never met the real person in their lives.
