The arrival of [-] Kaspers had no significant impact on New Mahhi City.

After that unforgettable live ammunition demonstration, and Fan Tianlan has also returned from Industrial City, his control over the city is unparalleled. In his judgment, this city does not need to worry about the safety of the surrounding area for the time being, so this 300 were armed forces for Orson County.Although Bishop Seris already has a group of mercenaries to assist him, because he opened the passage and helped a rebel army build a bridge with New Mahy City, making himself a new target before the establishment of New Mahy City, so he needs a group of mercenaries. A stronger force to maintain order in Orson County.

Mercenaries are completely legal and reasonable in noble wars. After the defeat of the earl, many mercenaries sneaked into Xinmaxi City for the high commission of the nobles, waiting for the opportunity to poison, set fire, murder, and cause chaos, but they all failed without exception. Now, no matter how good they think their disguise is and how long they have been lurking, once they decide to do something, the verdict will come immediately.Although the rulers of this city do not kill indiscriminately, they prefer to educate their new residents through a public trial and deter other evil-minded people, and their deterrence really works. The desired effect has been achieved: the interval between public trial meetings is getting longer and longer, and the out-of-city patrols transformed from bandit groups are receiving more and more surrenders—since you can’t beat them, why not join? What is more important than being able to eat?

Compared with these scattered soldiers composed of landless farmers, deserters and wandering knights, Kasper mercenaries are more in line with the definition of ordinary soldiers.The people of these desert peoples have distinct levels, strict discipline, fierce temperament and brave and good at fighting. Once hired, they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. There are almost no other shortcomings except high cost and unruly.As long as there are enough of them, even the general army will be hard to resist their sharpness, but few people will hire such a large number of Kaspers like the ruler of this city, as if they have never heard of them turning against customers and robbing their employers rumors.

Three hundred Kaspers in a team plus 150 Kasper mercenaries already in Orson County, a total of 450 strong Kasper warriors can almost be called a real army. They also bear the responsibility of city construction, are skilled in bow and horse, and usually take the initiative to fight. They are veterans of purge and suppression. It is more than enough to guard an old bishop and his followers, but even so, their employers still have to keep hiring more Mercenary rights.

After arriving in this city, the Kasper mercenaries understood why their employer was so bold.

And not just because of their great wealth.Ordinary people can hardly imagine how such a huge city was built in less than a year, and this project was not completed in a peaceful environment after a long period of full preparation, but surrounded by enemies , without an ally, and without the onslaught of countless refugees.What is even more astonishing is that during this process, they were able to maintain a strong suppression of the surrounding enemies from beginning to end, making the opponents terrified every day, and having nightmares about the unknown future.

Even without the group of people who went from this city to their tribe, the Kasper people knew what it meant.

According to the contract between the pioneers and the two parties, before going to Orson County, this mercenary will take a temporary rest in this city. Through the guidance and explanations of relevant personnel, they will understand their mission in the unfamiliar battlefield and learn new battles. way, to accept different principles of combat than in the past.Since Orson County was almost entirely dependent on the assistance of New Marsh City for food and other goods, the winter clothing, weapons, mounts and other equipment of this mercenary army were also provided by the city.

Although they haven't been able to see the equipment they deserve, the Kasper people are flattered by the treatment they received after entering the city.When the leader went to meet the supreme ruler of the city the next day, the rest of the people, after having breakfast, went to the wharf warehouse area by the river bank under the guidance of the tour guide, and walked into the warehouses as tall as the city walls.When the Kasper people saw those steel armors and weapons of inestimable value piled up like ordinary goods, their shock was beyond words. Just like the representatives of the rebel army who left not long ago, these Kasper mercenaries were completely shocked by this The power and wealth of the city were conquered, and unlike those rebels, the supplies they received in this city were not included in the rewards, so this treatment seemed particularly extravagant.

But it's hard for the Kasper people to doubt the reason why the other party provided this treatment, it's just because the contract has such a requirement, and as their real benefactor, this city has such ability.The procedures for them to receive these weapons are no different from ordinary cargo. When they leave with their own equipment, another white ship arrives at the port, and countless boxes of goods flow out of the cargo hold like flowing water. , piled up into mountains on a flat square.

This was a greater sign of wealth than any sumptuous palace, glittering jewels, and cumbersome ceremonies, and the city couldn't even afford them anything worse.In sharp contrast to such wealth, the managers of this city lived so simply. They did not wear any expensive ornaments, walked by themselves, and ate at the same table with those who lived on labor, and ate with them. The same thing, even the same job - it's the most amazing thing that they do it themselves.

But this is not a self-serving way of penance. The rulers of this city have never prided themselves on suffering, but are doing everything they can to make life better, not just for themselves, but for everyone else.This is really unreasonable, but after meeting the supreme ruler of the city, all the unreasonableness seems to have an explanation.

The other party was very young, with black hair, black eyes, and a black suit that was indistinguishable from other foreign people, but he was strangely intimidating.There are quite a few young and prestigious employers in Kasper, but no matter how outstanding they are, they are all in the realm of mortals, and this one in front of you, as long as you are a person, you can hardly look at this... extraordinary creature .

All the facts show that the Caspers have found a patron beyond imagination.

Since the collective farm in Orson County has just started construction, it is difficult to provide the army with the necessary living conditions for a while, and the trade fair in New Marsh City also needs a higher level of guards than usual, so the Caspers did not resist at all. Accepted the temporary employment before the official task, and undertook the guard work of the fair venue.Perhaps knowing that these Caspers were leaving the city for Orson County after the meeting, the City Patrol, who had been robbed of fat jobs, didn't have much of a problem with the arrangement, and in fact, they even got along pretty well with each other. good.

And these Kasper people also formed a powerful deterrent to the people who came to Xinmaxi City during this period.Although that exercise was enough to suppress the ready-to-move of all those with bad intentions, it was hard for ordinary people to believe that the foreigners in this city would easily use such a big killer for a little offense, and the Caspers just filled this gap.Seeing the fine steel plate armor and standard swords they wore, and remembering all the rumors about them, no one would believe that this is just the basic equipment provided by this city to the Covenanters, and that they did not come here to become Gentile minions, but to protect a land in decline and chaos, almost completely abandoned.

Kasperians don't care what people outside their employers think, and they adapt quickly to life here.

They are used to changing different living environments according to their employers. What's more, they eat well and sleep well here, so that their physical strength and energy consumed on the road can be recharged, old injuries can be recuperated, and The break-in of the new weapon was also smooth.Because most of the population moves here in one year, the city's managers have rich experience in how to let them overcome language and customary barriers and enter a new life. Kasper people can feel that they have been given a fair share. treat.For reasons such as these, Kasper people are determined to do everything possible for the smooth progress of this fair.

However, they can't find many opportunities to use their expertise.The rulers managed the city in a strange way, so that there were neither slaves nor idlers. During the day they took people to do various city construction tasks, and at night they gathered them together for classes, for three meals a day and The rewards are considerable, there are few people who are lazy, children, the elderly and the sick all have special places where they can stay. People's lives are so stable and regular that anyone who breaks away from this order will appear suspicious.Since accepting the mission, the people of Kasper have not found anyone in the wrong place at the wrong time.

There are quite a few truly suspicious people in the business district, but the Kasper people already know that the existence of those spies is acquiesced, and they can only move in this purposely set window, and dare not recklessly cross the uninhabited boundary Expose himself, so that the master behind him loses the right to trade with the city, and is even regarded as an enemy by these terrible foreigners.

So the daily guards of the Caspers inside and outside the city were no different from the patrols, and they understood one of the reasons why the other party had no grudges against them.This kind of life is new to the people of Kasper, not only because of the ease and safety, but also because they have witnessed how the miracles of this city appear with their own eyes.

When they first came to this city, the resettlement houses on the trade fair site had not been completely demolished, and when they took over as guards, the people in the huge empty space marked the general shape of the market with white lines, and then the Kasper people looked at this How the market is built up day by day within seven days.

Instead of installing some tents, setting up some wooden stalls, and placing them on both sides of the road, it can be called a market. These builders from foreign lands have amazing enthusiasm for building various wonders. Under their leadership, Hundreds of tall wooden houses protruded from the ground like bamboo shoots in spring, one after another forming a regular shape with an outer square and an inner circle.The outer side is a row house, which is used as a hotel for visitors. The back-to-back inner side is a variety of shops, and the four corners are four spacious exits, which are enough for tens of thousands of people to enter the inner wide market at the same time, and can parallel four horses. The circular road for pulling carts is divided into inner and outer circles by thatched sheds, wooden platforms and benches. Among the shops arranged in a circle in the inner circle, there is a particularly large wooden house at every other section, and the spacious wooden platform is waist-high. It is paved all the way to the door, and people in Kasper know that it is for people to perform without having to inquire. At the same time, the inner circle is not closed. Behind the shops and the stage, surrounding the center of the market circle are warehouses and rest areas for market personnel. and a large hospital.

The area of ​​this emerging market is large enough to accommodate an entire village, but this size is not out of vanity. These Kaspers are new here, but they don’t have to listen outside to know how many people will swarm like bees chasing flowers. Finally, this is a grand event that can attract everyone's attention, and no one can resist the attraction of wealth.

No matter how outsiders feel about this city and its owner, they have to admit that there are few such wealthy cities in the world, and that once mediocre river port city has become worthwhile due to the transformation of it by foreigners. It is difficult for outsiders to get a glimpse of the real life of the people in this city, and they can only witness the rapid changes of the city through the high windows of the hotel.Even if the city's good municipality alone demonstrates its new value, its deadliest charm is its commerce.Once again the people of Kasper felt oppressed by the oppression of wealth as the market builders began to fill out their warehouses and shops.

This city does not regard gold and silver as a luxury, and there are few fancy decorations in both buildings and people's clothing. On the contrary, it is full of countless commodities here.There are many things that people have not seen, or even imagined their existence, but as long as they see them and know their uses, people know that they can improve their lives, and their value is even better than gold and silver.Especially when this originally fertile land is suffering from a series of rare disasters.

The Kasper people also saw that the standard armor and other weapons they were wearing were also on sale. They asked about the price, and suddenly felt that their value had doubled.Those taboo commodities that are firmly controlled by guilds or dignitaries in other areas are displayed in the shops majestically. The prices of steel, weapons, grain, seeds, seedlings, books, paper and pens are all lower than those in commercial areas. If it is converted into the price of the Kasper people's hometown, it is a crazy figure, but no one is worried that it will attract hatred and attacks from others.

These people from other lands—the new allies of the Caspers have been surrounded by malice almost from the first day they set foot on this land. They have long been accustomed to being guarded, suspected, taken advantage of and slandered, and never took the initiative Harmful people are said to be demons—because they are indeed destroyers of order.

No matter how gentle the means are, the damage they caused to the invaded area is clearly visible. Although they only fought a passive war, the impact of victory is not only far-reaching, but also directly shakes the foundation of a kingdom, every counterattack of the opponent It will make them take root in this area deeper, and only by allowing them to develop on their own can they survive, but the final outcome will still be that they will take away everything: land, population, wealth, and the future.Because the aliens came here for this purpose, and in the order of the heavenly kingdom on earth like this city, there is no promised land for kings and nobles.

The people of Kasper do not have the mind to deduce the cruel truth based on the limited knowledge in front of them. Their knowledge of everything that happens in this land comes from their allies, because not only the residents of this city are required to keep learning, they These rough mercenaries also have to accept daily teachings from foreigners.It was very uncomfortable for them, because no one—whether employers or friends—had ever been so open with them.It was only a low-ranking expatriate team among the aliens who made a contract with the Kaspers, but they are still regarded as important and equal allies here, so someone took the trouble to explain to them that they are both aboveboard and cruel. strategy.

Whether it is the act of explaining or the plans themselves, the Kasper people are deeply shocked. With absolute force and financial resources in hand, these aliens can indeed despise their weak opponents, but explanations are still unnecessary, not just for them These mercenaries from foreign lands are also unnecessary to the people living in this city.The most eminent ruler known to the Kasper people insisted that the people should give the right to think to the wise, because "all fear is born of much thinking", and too much thinking brings too much desire, which is the source of disaster , Only when everyone abides by their duties can limited resources benefit everyone.

"We don't do this." The lecturer of the foreigner said, "Before we do big things, we always try our best to let everyone understand. Because people are not cows and horses, even cows and horses have animal consciousness, so they won't do those things. Things that harm themselves. People are at their best when they are willing, when they know that what they are doing is beneficial to themselves and others, and that the fruits of their labor are not taken away for no reason to enshrine those who have nothing. Whoever has it all, their passion is kindled like a fire under fallen leaves."

"Frugality is of course a virtue, but people are not born to suffer, and restraining people's most basic needs for survival cannot create new wealth; people should not completely hand over the distribution rights to others, because no matter who originally held power Nobility, when people are not restrained, people will always give themselves more, and then accumulate it day by day, that is, some people get something for nothing, and others have nothing. Without fairness, how can there be nobility?"

If the foreigner said such words in other places, it would probably only lead to ridicule.People are born unequal, some are born noble, some are born lowly, the fate of nobles and civilian slaves is determined from the time they are in the womb of their mothers, only the chosen ones can cross this road natural moat.But there are no nobles in Xinmaxi City, not only no nobles, but all traditional occupations that can be called "lords" have disappeared here.Instead, there are strange believers from foreign lands. In this new world they created, "fair" and "noble" exist.

Foreigners say that what we do is just two things, one is to create as much as possible, and the other is to distribute as reasonably as possible.No matter what they want to do, they need land, all resources come from land, and people need their own land if they want to survive for a long time. Those who stand together in any form are enemies of kings and nobles.

Hatred is not instilled, but a natural reaction after taking a stand. This kind of camp opposition cannot be reversed by human will, and people who realize this do not want to resist.Where there is light, there is shadow, and where there is right, there is wrong. The more intense the confrontation, the more united people are. The Kasper people know from the description of the other party that this covenant will bring them into a long war. This war is all about trust. and the foundation of giving.

They do not resist this mission, in fact, it is what they aspire to as fighters.

To the surprise of the people of Kasper, the residents of this city have a similar awareness.In the process of working and studying, the Kasper people and the residents naturally came into contact with each other. They both have some interests in each other and exchanged some experiences with each other. The new residents naturally think that the covenant carried by the Kasper people is wise for this desert nation. The Kasper people asked them whether they could accept the beliefs of foreign lands, and whether they had any nostalgia for their past aristocratic masters.No one said that the nature of the nobles is actually good. They made all kinds of mistakes because of unavoidable reasons, and expelled their own people for self-protection. Domination—this is something that must happen in the not-too-distant future, and when that time comes, they are willing to be fighters for it.

The people living in this city are grateful for their current life. They can't sum up those complicated truths, but they know that once the pioneers reach a settlement with the king and nobles, everything they have now will gradually be lost. Sad hunger and poverty are once again the staples of their lives.

The willingness of the people of Kasper to be learned through such rough communication, the lords who live here can only feel it more deeply.After changing into regular clothes and attending several night classes, the three lords probably understood why the young man who looked like a god didn't accept their loyalty directly. He knew they would regret it.

Maybe the supreme ruler of New Mahidol City didn't know that, sometimes, loyalty is like wrought iron, the more it is tempered, the purer it becomes.

Likewise, those lords who see all this as a test may also be unaware that this is only the beginning.

Before the opening of the trade fair, the construction plan of Jidian Village was officially distributed to the whole city.
