Lord of the Oasis

Kant's wait was not long.

About ten minutes later, a burly figure in chain mail appeared on the city wall.

The slightly messy hair was draped behind his head at will, and his face with a sword mark due to his injuries seemed to know that he was a character who was fought on the battlefield, and those eyes were also sharp like an eagle.

He is the Lord of Stone Pass, Dylan, Baron of Northshire.

Beneath the city wall, Manid looked up at the baron who was also looking at them, his face slightly solemn.

Manid, who comes from a merchant family, naturally understands the ability to read words.

And now he looked at Baron Dylan on the city wall, with a little doubt in his eyes, because looking at his appearance, I am afraid he is not the kind of dude who is addicted to enjoyment and does not know how to develop his territory.

Obviously, the 30-year-old grade is also the strongest and most motivated time in life.

But it is.

Manid frowned, and glanced at the recruited peasants who were still a little panicked.

He clearly saw the city wall. The level of vigilance at the beginning was undoubtedly extremely poor. Manid was from Calradia, and he even felt that on that chaotic continent, this seemingly solid pass would not last a day. If you can't keep it, you will fall.

"Do not think too much."

Kant seemed to be aware of Manid's thoughts.

With a weird smile at the corner of his mouth, he certainly understood why this Baron Dylan was so contradictory.

This also comes from ten years ago, earlier than when the Principality of Lions conquered the Nalen Desert and slaughtered the gnoll tribe, even Kant just turned five or six years old, a battle that the Principality of Lions still haunts to this day. .

In fact, Kant's fall and being exiled to the Naron Desert was also related to the original battle.

"Phew." Kant took a deep breath and didn't continue to think too much.

Kicking the horse's belly, he rode his horse forward and came to a range of more than ten meters under the city wall. He raised his head and said, "Uncle Dylan, it's nice to meet you again. How have you been recently?"

The voice fell, but the scene was silent, and the answer that should have appeared did not appear.

There was a little commotion behind him.

The 5 Salander riders and 10 desert robbers were somewhat indignant.

Because even if they don't know the etiquette and only know the killing, they all understand that Baron Dylan on the city wall is so silent and does not answer, which is tantamount to serious rudeness, or the extreme contempt of Kant at all.

This is his own lord.

If it weren't for Manid, it is estimated that the national scolding of the Sarand region would have sounded in their mouths.

But Kant didn't care.

There was a smile on his slightly immature face, and the light in his eyes was very sincere.

Looking at Baron Dylan on the city wall, he bowed his head slightly and continued to politely say: "Last month, I was awarded the Nalen Desert. I regret that I didn't meet you due to the tight journey. Now my territory has settled down, so Come here and hope to see you, after all, Uncle Dylan is in my heart and is the best person to me except my mother."

Still silent, no one spoke or answered.

It's just that Baron Dylan, who was originally cold-faced, flickered slightly, and finally said, "Open the city gate."

Hearing his order, the soldiers behind him immediately reacted.

With the rattling of the winch, the city gate made of heavy logs opened slowly with chains and ropes, revealing the pass behind the gate, and hundreds of people who had assembled and were holding spears. Soldier.

Baron Dylan turned his head and walked down the stairs.

At the same time, without turning his head, he commanded with a blank face: "Whoever calls for a gnoll to attack, find them all and give me 10 whips. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, I will hang him directly."

"Yes!" Several soldiers in iron armor responded immediately.

With a bad face, he ordered a few peasants to call out,

He took out the whip behind him and slammed it hard.

The sound of "crack" continued.

Bloodstains swelled out on the skin in an instant.

Following that miserable cry, Baron Dylan who stepped down from the city wall got on his horse and left, his face still showing no mercy.

In Stone Pass, he was known for his ruthlessness and brutality.

"Dylan... my lord."

His butler waited tremblingly beside the horse, swallowed, and asked courageously, "Baron Kant is coming, do you need me to prepare a banquet for the evening?"

"No need." Baron Dylan, who was preparing to leave on the horse, said simply: "Just prepare more food."

"Okay, good Lord Dylan." The butler left and nodded.

And Baron Dylan waved his whip and rode his horse quickly away from the city gate.

Behind him were the soldiers in iron armor, all riding on warhorses, rampaging through the narrow and filthy streets, making the peasant and peasant women with pale faces and shabby clothes hurriedly ran to both sides to avoid, while bending over. salute.

But for Baron Dylan, seeing these guys made his face even worse.

Throwing out the whip, the horse runs faster.

Outside the city gate, Kant and his cavalrymen slowly stepped in.

Not riding a horse, this is the etiquette of entering the city.

Leading the war horse, Kant walked in front, looking at the middle-aged man who came to greet him, swept the fine linen robes all over his body, and already understood that this was probably Baron Dylan's butler.

Frowning slightly, Kant's face did not show any dissatisfaction, and he was still calm.

"Dear Baron Kant, Baron Dylan entrusts me to extend my sincerest greetings and welcome to you."

The slightly chubby butler wiped the cold sweat from his temples, and bowed at a 90-degree angle to caress his chest very respectfully.

Truly the most sincere greetings and welcome.

As for whether it was commissioned by Baron Dylan, Kant knew very well.

His own Uncle Dylan, last time he passed by, replenished supplies and fresh water and rested, but he stayed for a whole day without inviting him to meet at his official residence.

"Well, it's nice to see Uncle Dylan, too."

Kant had a bright smile on his face and squinted his eyes, like a big boy without scheming.

This gave the butler a sigh of relief.

Reaching out his hand and making a gesture of invitation inside the city gate, the butler said respectfully: "Please come with me, Baron Kant, Baron Dylan is waiting for your arrival in the mansion, and at the same time prepared a rich dinner, intending to have a dinner with you. Discuss."

"Let's lead the way." Kant nodded.

The butler saw Kant speak so well, and the smile on his face became more respectful.

Lead the way ahead and meet them into Stone Pass.

Kant led the horse and walked in front, Manid and the cavalry followed, curiously looking at the pass fortress built in the middle of the canyon and blocking the passage.

However, there are also many curious eyes.

Including those soldiers holding spears and lined up on both sides of the road.

And in the distance, outside the narrow shacks, peasant women and children in ragged clothes.

Especially looking at the young and handsome Kant and Manid walking at the forefront, as well as the clean and tidy appearance of the 5 Salander riders and 10 desert robbers, there were envious expressions in their eyes.

In their impression, only nobles and knights would dress like this.

Or rich people.

As for himself, he is only sheltered in the pass, a lowly poor man.

Kant couldn't help frowning at these gazes.

Although the street below is made of stones, dirty water is flowing in the gaps, and there is even a faint stench coming from the shanty towns on both sides. Every step on it, the bottom of the cowhide boots emits. "Crack" sound.

Obviously, there is still dirty black mud on the stones in the street.

This made his frown even tighter.

This is really dirty.
