Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

Local lords going out with their armies is nothing new for the town residents of this world.

The previous city lord was in response to Her Majesty the Queen's call and left with a large army for more than half a year.

In order to avoid being detained in their hometown when they go on an expedition, most lords will let their most trusted subordinates stay in their territory with a certain number of troops when they go on an expedition.

The former lord didn't make any mistakes in this regard, but it was a pity that he encountered someone like Milin, so he was beaten by Milin within a few days of his return.

Not to mention the only one in the world who has a whole family like Yone Lin who immediately goes out to fight, it is considered very rare.

If there were not two "ordinary militiamen" left, one responsible for guarding the city gate and one responsible for guarding the main castle, the residents of Escalon even thought that Milin was planning to run away.

In fact, some people already think that Milin is planning to run away.

Seeing a certain fat man driving a carriage beside the marching column, Milin rode his horse and strolled over and said strangely:

"What are you going to do??"

"What else can we do? Go to the countryside for a while." Avigo, who relied on his weight to make the nearly full carriage lean forward slightly, immediately made a disgusting face when he saw Milin.

"Avoiding what?" Although he knew what Avigo was doing, Milin still asked. He slipped to the side of the open carriage and leaned over to take a look at the contents inside.

Boxes of different shapes, large and small pots and jars, filled the originally small carriage to the brim.

It seems that Avigo plans to stay in the countryside permanently.

"You have the nerve to ask?" Hearing Milin's confused look, Avigo immediately said: "It's not because you want to run away!"

"What did I run for?" Milin continued to ask in a playful tone.

"Don't tell me that you're just going to use so many people to beat the odds against a rock?" Avigo said while glancing at Milin's army.

Simply looking at the level of marching, this unit under Milin is the most elite unit Avigo has ever seen.

But the problem is that the number is too small, barely more than half a hundred, and Avigo can count from beginning to end without even having to stand up from the carriage.

"It's still unclear who is the stone and who is the egg." Milin said with a smile.

"Is there any need to think about this? Wait...you are not really planning to fight the greedy Pahlavi, are you?" Avigo noticed that Milin's attitude was a bit strange.

"Greedy Pahlavi?" Milin was a little curious about the name Avigo mentioned.

"You don't know?" This is strange for Avigo. You haven't known who your opponent is for a long time?

"Where did I know that inputting the command to fully open the map still launches spy satellites?" Milin said words that left Avigo completely confused.

But for Avigo, this was not the first time he heard Milin say these incomprehensible words.

Avigo, who just classified Milin's behavior as quirks, said without paying much attention:

"Pahlavi, the greedy Pahlavi, the lord of Olnia. I heard that he was once one of the lovers of His Majesty the Emperor."

"Huh, lover?" Milin, who felt something was wrong after hearing this, said in surprise.

Fortunately, Milin immediately remembered that His Majesty the Emperor whom Avigo usually mentioned was a female emperor, and it did not remind anyone of anything offensive and foul-smelling.

"I also heard what people said. As for whether it is true or just something those guys made up when they were drunk, I can't guarantee it." Avigo shrugged.

"So, this Lord Pahlavi did not stay at home, but came over with a bunch of people to destroy the place..." Milin, who was not surprised that Avigo had no responsibility to speak, repeated while dealing with the man who just said Then he asked:

"Then do you know why that lord who is so far away...hundreds of miles away wants to come here?"

"Do you still need to ask? There is only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname. Deus was humiliated by that Pahlavi when he was here." Avigo shook his head hard as he said it. The reins forced the painful old horse to speed up.

Looking at Avigo like this, it was like he, not his former lord, was being humiliated.

"Commander, in the messy accounts of the previous lord, there is a sum of unaccounted money that is tribute." Gray Wind's voice rang in Milin's ears.

"I see." Milin immediately understood why Avigo acted like this. It was obvious that the taxes used to buy peace were standard people's money.

No wonder the previous lords taxed their taxes until a hundred years later.

What is this, no diplomacy among the weak among feudal lords?

Milin estimated that one of the reasons why the former lord of Escalon went out to fight all year round was that he did not want to stay in the territory and suffer.

It almost means the same thing as Avigo taking his belongings and taking refuge in the countryside.

Avigo, who thought that Milin was forced to abandon the city of Escalon due to the power of Pahlavi, did not want to stay where he was and be charged taxes for another hundred years.

Not to mention, the greedy lord might have his house confiscated directly because he knew Milin and had negotiated with Milin as a citizen representative.

As for why Avigo chose this time to leave and still followed Milin's army, it didn't take much to figure out that the fat man was deliberately flirting with the bodyguards.

"So, those who are still in the city are basically ready to prepare to welcome the king's master?" Milin, who had learned some indispensable information from Avigo, asked.

"Master Wang? Although Pahlavi is a conferred lord, he still cannot represent the emperor." Avigo, who only understood half of Milin's words, still grasped the key points, mocked.

After laughing for a while, Avigo then answered Milin's question:

"As for those people who remain in the city, who knows what they are thinking. Do you really think that Pahlavi will not touch them?"

The ridicule in his tone was even greater than the previous sentence.

"Oh, what a pity." Milin suddenly said regretfully for no reason.

"What's a pity?" Avigo asked strangely.

"It's a pity that I can't see how many good things you have in your wine cellar." When Milin said something that Avigo couldn't understand, he pulled the reins and stopped.

At this time, the army had left the plain area around Iscalon City and entered the mountains and forests.

When Milin stopped, the troops that were advancing at a constant speed also stopped at the same time.

"?" In Avigo's puzzled eyes, among the army with a total number of less than fifty, all the troops without horses walked out of the queue and walked in under the leadership of the fully armed humanoid tank Alori. In the jungle next to it.

Soon, under the cover of trees, these troops disappeared, leaving only a single digit of cavalry and a few carriages transporting baggage behind Milin.

Before Avigo, who looked confused, could ask questions, Milin, who regained control of his mount and started to move forward, said:

"At night, they will return to the city. If those who have other ideas plan to take any action, Alori will let them know what a surprise is."

Avigo, who immediately realized what surprise Milin was talking about, couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the "citizens" who had just elected him as a "citizen representative" a few days ago.

But soon, Avigo's little sympathy turned into greater doubts.

"Wait, you have other troops stationed in the field?"

The departure of all the infantry units left Milin with less than ten cavalrymen.

Avigo felt that Milin would not directly use this army of less than ten people to confront the greedy Pahlavi.

"Except for the two scout cavalry, that's all." Milin said.

Avigo, who was probably frightened and had a circle of flesh marks on his body, said in surprise:

"If I hadn't known you a long time ago, I would have thought you were planning to commit suicide?"

Avigo didn't think that the greedy Lord Pahlavi could be dispatched with an army of less than ten people. This number of people might not even be enough to fill the gap between his teeth.

Being able to force the former lord to pay tribute regularly shows that the Pahlavi lord's ability was not just greed.

"If you want to witness a miracle, just come along." Milin smiled.

"No need to, I've long passed the age of taking risks." Avigo refused decisively.

However, a few days later, when Milin was about to reach the village that had been temporarily abandoned by the residents relying on the movement speed of pure cavalry troops, Avigo got in front of Milin from nowhere.

"Why, was he robbed?" Milin asked a little strangely, looking at the still fat body and the empty open carriage.

Having said that, Milin didn't think that Lao Wei would be robbed. To be more precise, if he was really robbed, the fat man wouldn't be able to outrun the robbers.

"I'm not here to witness a miracle." Avigo patted his belly and said.
