Chapter 405: 404. Territory application
Chapter 405 404. Territory application
On the second day after talking with Darcy Christie, Suldak came to the Knights again.
The old knight saw Suldak coming to the door again, so he smiled at him and asked, "Have you decided where to lead your knight?"
While speaking, he unfolded the map around Hailansa City, and looked at Suldak with a smile on his face. Suldak nodded, and quickly found the location of the pustule mountain on the map, pointing to the mountain Podi said: "If no one wants it here, I want to put my knight collar here..."
Suldak's words made the old knight hoarse. He looked at Suldak in surprise and said, "This year, the timing for you to choose the knight collar is just right. There are some good pieces of land in Hailansa City that have become For the sake of No Man's Land, as long as you apply first, you have a good chance of being approved, since there are so many good choices, why choose such a remote and barren land?"
Suldak smiled slightly and didn't explain much.
Seeing that Suldak was determined to do so, the old knight circled and marked the land on the map with a charcoal pencil, and then wrote a territory application form and handed it to Suldak. According to the calculation method of territory distribution, This territory is located almost at the outskirts of Hailansa City. It takes at least four days to ride a horse from Hailansa City to Pustule Mountain, and it is a large area of barren land without any grass. Therefore, the area of the approved territory is set to the widest and circled. The land almost caught up with the territory of a third-class baron, and the old knight circled the entire pustule mountain with a radius of more than ten kilometers.
Suldak was a little worried that the city hall would not approve it. The old knight waved his hand casually and told Suldak with a displeased face: "No one wants that piece of land for free. You are willing to choose the land." There, the guys at City Hall just make fun of you for being stupid."
Hearing what the old knight said, Suldak gave a knight salute to the old knight, and then left the knights with the territory application approved by the knights.
Suldak went to the Land Management Office of the city hall to apply for his own knight collar. When the clerk in charge of reviewing the territory application saw that the applied territory was enclosed in a barren land, almost enclosing the entire pustule volcano, he was also extremely shocked. Looking at Suldak, he asked, "Are you really going to want this active volcano that erupts lava all day long? Once the territory is selected, it cannot be changed!"
Seeing the suspicious look on the clerk's face, Suldak took out his prepared speech and said to him, "I hunted two salamanders over there, so I plan to turn that mountainous area into a hunting ground." ..."
The clerk looked stunned, and took the territory application form to the supervisor to stamp it. Soon, the territory of Pustoma Mountain was successfully approved.
Suldak walked out of the city hall with the knight certificate. The guard camp was not too far from the city hall, so Suldak went to the guard camp to see if the dwarven chain shield had been repaired.
Since joining the guard camp, the number of times Suldak has come to the guard camp can be counted on one hand, and most of the time he comes to find Ms. Gwendolyn to change his equipment. In general, it can almost be said to be extremely incompetent, but Suldak has become the security officer of the support squadron outside the city of the guard camp in just over two months after joining the guard camp, equivalent to a small Captain level, specifically responsible for the vast mountainous area north of Pahailansa City, including a small part of the Pagros Mountains and the vast barren land.
I chatted with Ms. Gwendolyn in the logistics equipment department in the basement for a while, and got back the dwarf chain shield as I wished. The dwarf chain shield has been repaired by the blacksmith, and there are still two criss-crossing scratches on the surface of the shield. However, the surface of the shield has been fixed by the blacksmith with dozens of iron bars that look like giant staples, making the two scratches look like two terrifying centipedes.
Suldak stepped into the main building of the guard camp, just in time to see Karl playing cards in the activity room of the guard camp, saw Suldak walk in from the door, Karl quickly asked Suldak to sit down with him The three knights who played cards, Suldak, also knew each other. They were the captains of the No. 1, 34 and 4 squadrons of the Support Squadron. Jasper left the Support Squadron and took away his two trusted captains in the Support Squadron. The small captains are almost all Karl's confidantes.
Carl spoke without any scruples, and asked Surdak: "Dak, is your territory confirmed?"
Suldak nodded slightly, and said to Karl: "It's settled, I just went to the city hall to sign the territory certificate."
Karl threw out two cards in his hand, drew two cards from the table and added them in, and said to Suldak, "So, you really draw the territory on the mountain pass?"
Suldak nodded and said, "This is something that has been decided long ago."
Sitting opposite Karl was the captain of the first team of the support squadron, and he said to Karl with a smile: "Boss, although the outside of the mountain pass is barren, there are also many valleys covered with greenery, and there are dozens of natural forests, large and small. Villages, and even a large number of smaller camps, which are the kind that move around with the seasons, and many of them are homeless and thieves and fugitives.”
He glanced at the card table, picked up two suitable cards, and then said after a pause: "...so the higher-ups gave us a small team to manage the security of such a large area, it's too unrealistic gone."
The captain of the third team sitting next to him said in a low voice: "Didn't you just come here if you didn't have it before? No matter how bad it is, it can be worse than no one manages it..."
"The responsibility is a bit heavy, but the power in his hand is also greater. Dake may be the most powerful one among the twelve captains of the support squadron in the future!" The captain of the fourth team looked deeply at Suldak With a glance, he didn't hide the envy in his eyes, and said casually.
There were hurried footsteps in the corridor and noisy voices from downstairs. The captain of the first squad put down the cards and went to the window to take a look, frowned and said, "It seems that other squadron knights were injured on a mission and were carried back. of."
"Let's go and have a look together, we are all working under the same roof, help if you can!" Carl threw the cards on the table, stood up and walked outside.
Several small captains also followed behind. Before the group of people walked out of the corridor, they saw several blood-soaked knights walking up the stairs on stretchers, and directly carried the injured knights on the stretchers into the guard camp. In the waiting room, Suldak stood at the back, and saw through the gaps in the crowd that the wounded knight's chest seemed to have been bandaged with a hemostatic bandage, but there was still blood oozing out.
Karl gave Suldak a wink, told him to follow his footsteps, followed some people into the lounge, patted a knight on the shoulder, and asked him in a low voice: "What happened? ?”
"Funak Manor recently had a murder. The knight team who went to investigate encountered an evil spirit. Knight Isaac was stabbed and seriously injured by the evil spirit lurking in the dark. This prevented the knights from the same team from being brought back!"
Carl nodded. He had heard about this incident. It stands to reason that this incident belongs to the duty of the support squadron outside the city, and the injured Isaac knight belongs to the ninth squadron of the fifth squadron of the guard battalion.
The Fifth Squadron of the Guard Battalion is responsible for the security of the slums in the Liberty Market, the most chaotic city in Hailansa. The Fifth Squadron will not be involved in the security incidents outside the city anyway, but the person who reported the crime lives next to the Liberty Market The young man in the slums, he found Isaac Knight of the Fifth Squadron in the market, and told Isaac Knight that his father worked as a night watchman at Fornac Manor and had been missing for almost a week. Report this matter to your superiors.
Hailansa's winter free market economy is sluggish, even thieves and thieves rarely come out to commit crimes. This has led to unsatisfactory performance of the squadrons of the Fifth Squadron of the Guard Battalion this month, and finally received a fatal case. The Fifth Squadron decided to kill the sufferer in this case under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Squadron, so the Fifth Squadron should be responsible for this case.
The knight introduced the incident to Carl in a low voice.
Isaac Knight naturally joined the investigation team as a matter of course, but the first two investigations did not yield any results. The third time Isaac Knight found the entrance to the basement hidden in the debris pile, and was hidden in the basement when he entered the basement. The evil spirit on the ceiling pierced his chest with a bone dagger. If it wasn't for the comrades behind him desperately dragging Isaac Knight out, I am afraid that what is lying in front of everyone now should be a completely cold corpse.
The guard camp has very strict management of treatment medicines. Although there is an emergency plan and the application has been submitted, it has not been approved.
"Let me go in and have a look!" Carl coughed lightly.
Seeing that the person who spoke was Karl, the squadron leader of the support squadron, the knights crowded at the door quickly made way. Karl led Suldak into the lounge. A knight was squatting in front of the bed, holding the Knight Isaac's wound, trying to stop the bleeding.
Knight Isaac's face was as white as paper lying on the single room, and his breathing became extremely weak. Suldak patted the young knight with blood on his hands, and said to him: "This kind of thing is still more professional. Let's do it!"
Said so that Suldak stepped forward.
"..."
Suldak was speechless, when did I become a team doctor...
It was a matter of human life, and he didn't dare to be negligent. He pulled out a small skinning knife from his thigh, and the surrounding knights looked at Suldak in surprise. With his gaze, he concentrated on cutting the bandage wrapped around Knight Isaac's chest, and asked the knight who had just helped Knight Isaac cover his wound: "Where is he injured, besides the chest?"
"No more, a bone dagger stabbed into his chest, and he bled a lot. Is Isaac unable to survive this time?" The knight stood beside him and cried sadly.
