Chapter 275 Horsh County I
Dean and his party set off from Zelgaon Territory, passed through Jandu Territory, and after entering the city of Vauban, they took a temporary rest for a day-except for the due meeting with the Marquis of Vauban, more was to buy horses.
In order to speed up the forward speed, one person and two riders are undoubtedly the best choice.
And this naturally requires the help of the Marquis of Vauban, otherwise, it is definitely not an easy task in the city of Vauban to have sixteen excellent war horses.
After all, County Vauban does not produce horses.
In fact, except for Yorkshire, the entire Emerald has no self-produced horses.
Moreover, even the horses produced in Yorkshire mostly do not meet the needs of war horses, and can only be used as ordinary rough horses.
Therefore, most of Jade's war horses rely on Gao Sai.
Every year, in order to replenish the horses, it is necessary to give Gao Sai a large sum of Kimpton.
Therefore, even if the relationship between the two parties is good, Dean still paid a price of nearly 1,000 Kimptons for sixteen excellent war horses; if it was not because of the support of the silver mine, Dean would definitely do it again in the face of such a price. Think about it; after all, a thousand Kimptons was quite a lot of money in his hands.
From the time he became the leader of the Fechalon Knights until he became the lord of the Zelgon Territory, Dean has never been stingy with Kimpton. On the other hand, especially after becoming the lord of the Zelgon Territory, Dean said that it is not an exaggeration to spend money like water.
After all, in order to achieve the label of all citizens being soldiers, those original citizens gave up their respective occupations and became militiamen, not only the militiamen themselves, but also the families of the militiamen. The remaining women and children need to be supported by Dean, otherwise . The original purpose cannot be achieved at all.
In addition, Dean also wants to go to the secret magic island to make the core of the metal puppet, which is also a lot of money.
simply put. Dean's Kimpton is a bit stretched at the moment.
Fortunately, though. The first income from the silver mine is about to appear, which gives Dean a lot of confidence.
"This is a letter I wrote to Earl Horsh, and you will get corresponding help there!"
When the horses were delivered, the Marquis of Vauban also gave him a letter similar to a letter of introduction.
Thank you Dean for this.
Then,
Non-stop along the east side of the emerald, it took a week and a half to enter Horsh County—except that Dean wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of [Devil Blood Dagger]. Compared with Del County on the west side, Horsh County is undoubtedly a little closer, which is the main reason why Dean chose Horsh County.
The layout of Horsh County is similar to that of Vauban County, with one city and four small collars.
The city is managed by Earl Hosh himself, and the four small collars are managed by four lords.
"Earl Hosh, like the Marquess of York, was born in the military in his early years. When he was young, he was sent by the previous earl to study in the royal guards. Until three years before he succeeded the earl, he was in the army. He spent time in the Emerald City. His wife also met at that time, they love each other very much, and they have six daughters..."
The archduke's swordsman was talking as he walked, but when he mentioned the six daughters, the swordsman twitched his lips.
As we all know, the king of Hosh County is most talked about because he has six daughters. He doesn't have a son, but he has been praying for the fact that he has one more son.
This is for any nobleman. It's all understandable.
However, for women. But it's a bit offensive - it has long been rumored in Horsh County that the earl and his wife, who were once in love with each other, began to have a cold relationship because of the issue of their children.
Of course, there is an endless stream of romantic news about that Earl Horsh.
Dean also knows something about this.
Therefore, he didn't say anything out of self-indulgence, but let the Grand Duke's swordsman continue to say——
"Because of etiquette, we need to meet the Lord County King here, but with a letter from the Marquis of Vauban, it is not difficult!"
The Archduke's swordsman said so.
Dean nodded, and Chad, Maher, and a group of Veteran Knights veterans who followed Dean looked at the city of Horsh in the distance while maintaining vigilance.
As tall as the city of Vauban.
The guards stood in rows at the city gate, and a little further away were groups of cavalry patrolling around.
Following the appearance of Dean and his party, a man who looked like a leader among the guards quickly walked out——
"Wait a minute, Your Excellency! Are you..."
Dean and his party were dressed differently from businessmen and civilians, and the horses behind them made the guard very polite. He looked at the leader Dean and asked.
"Lord Zelgon, Lord Dean Ken Zelgon!"
"The knight under the command of Grand Duke Emerald, Viscount Yitris Detta!"
Dean and the Archduke Swordsman said separately, and then simultaneously took out their noble badges and gave a slight signal.
Of course, the head of the guard didn't take it over to check.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't have the qualifications.
"You two, please wait a moment!"
As he said that, the guard leader quickly ran towards the post on the city wall, and after a while, a knight in full body armor came down.
This is a dark-faced middle-aged man with a medium build, but in the knight armor, he looks quite strong.
And the strength of the great knight shows that the opponent is the person in charge here.
Unlike Vauban County, which has as many as six great knights, Horsh County has only three, but there are two silver-ranked knights; and the great knight in front of him is obviously one of those three.
"Norton, Earl Hosh's knight, has met Lord Zelgon, Your Excellency 'White Rose'!"
After checking the aristocratic insignia of Dean and Grand Duke Sword Master once again, the great knight greeted him very politely, showing his polite side as a noble knight.
"It's an honor to meet you, Grand Knight Norton!"
Dean said with a smile.
"Is Mott's injury better?"
The archduke's swordsman made such an inquiry.
Mot Carr, one of the two Silver Knights of Horsh County, appeared at the auction in Vauban, but was seriously injured in an ambush by the Brotherhood.
And obviously. The Grand Duke's swordsman is very familiar with this silver knight, not only bluntly questioning the other party, but also. Also called him by his first name.
Therefore, Norton was slightly taken aback. However, he quickly reacted——
"His Excellency Karl's injury has healed and he is in the city. Do you need me to inform His Excellency Karl by the way?"
Norton asked.
The appearance of Dean and the Grand Duke's swordsman was naturally to inform the county king of Hosh County as soon as possible.
"Grateful!"
The archduke's sword master nodded.
"Please wait a moment, both of you!"
As he said that, Norton leaned forward, motioned his subordinates to greet Dean and his party, and then ran towards the inner city of Horsh City—about the same layout as Vauban City. Horsh City is also divided into Lower City, Upper City and Inner City. However, there is no castle in the inner city, just a stretch of buildings.
And as one of the three great knights under Earl Hosh, Norton always attracts attention.
That's true whether you're downtown, uptown, or inner city.
Therefore, when Norton quickly traveled through the entire Hosh City, the news that Dean and the archduke's swordsman came to Hosh City had spread like wildfire.
To this. The attitudes of all parties are different.
Some frown, some welcome smiles, of course. Most of them are irrelevant.
Perhaps Dean is already a well-known existence in Vauban County, but there is only a little rumor in Horsh County——
For example, the talent is 'Giant Change'!
Fight with the 'random killer' and kill him!
However, most people default to the former, after all, talent cannot be faked.
But the latter?
Most people hold an attitude of disbelief.
You know, 'The Killer' Deirdran. But among the mercenaries in Del County, they are recognized as the strongest. Once played against a silver-level knight without falling behind. A knight who has been baptized for less than a month, even if his talent is 'giant change', it is impossible to defeat and kill such a strong man.
At the junction of the Lower Town and the Upper Town in Horsh County, in a building made entirely of rocks, several people who heard the latest news couldn't help standing up, gearing up, with excitement on their faces——
"That guy actually came to Hosh City? It's really great!"
"That's right, it's really great!"
"Our lion mercenary group can show off again!"
...
The voices of discussions echoed in the hall.
And this made Kasde, the captain of the first team of the Lion Mercenary Corps, frowned tightly. He had seen Dean and the "Random Slayer" fight with his own eyes, and he was very clear that Dean was really serious. A well-deserved powerhouse.
Right now, such insulting, insulting, and interesting words should not appear at all.
However, this rough man was so clumsy that he couldn't utter any other words of rebuttal. He could only sit there without saying a word, looking at the remaining four who also belonged to the Lion Mercenary Group. The team was talking there.
"Hey, Kasted, how about we meet that guy together?"
The captain of the second team of the Lion Mercenary Corps, whose strength is second only to Kasted, but still at the level of a great knight, Rolt said loudly—this is a guy with a slender figure and thin cheeks, and those eyes are also Thinly, the tongue licked the corners of the lips from time to time when the whole person was speaking.
It looks like a snake and a lizard.
In short, it feels very uncomfortable.
"No!"
Keith replied in a muffled voice.
"What? Could it be that the strongest among us was frightened after returning from Vauban County? If this is the case, I will report to the head of the group and I will become the first captain of the Lion Mercenary Group! "
Rolt looked at Kesde with a half-smile.
"you!"
Kastedt stood up abruptly.
"Me? What's wrong with me? I'm standing here, and I'm sending you an invitation—to go and see that amazing guy in your mouth!"
Rolt spread his hands, and the contempt in the sentence was obvious.
