Chapter 737: 726. Baron Golding
Chapter 737 726. Baron Golding
The barracks is very lively tonight.
There is a prison in the camp that is not much better than a stable, and now it is full of mercenaries who have returned from custody.
Almost all of these mercenaries were wounded. Although they were all bandaged up, they were still moaning and lying in the prison.
Some slightly injured mercenaries leaned against the prison fence, watching the cavalry in the garrison camp eating dinner in an orderly manner.
With plates in their hands, everyone lined up in front of several large iron pots, and they seemed to be eating well.
The wounded cavalry received priority treatment from Suldak. These cavalry were fully armed before fighting the mercenaries, so they did not have too serious fatal injuries. The most serious one was that one cavalry had seven broken ribs.
Suldak was so busy that he didn't even eat dinner to treat these cavalrymen.
Many cavalry recovered almost immediately after being treated by the Holy Light Art. Suldak also found that his Holy Light Art seemed to be a little different, and seemed to be more powerful than before.
Because of the existence of Suldak, the cavalry in the cavalry battalion were not afraid of being injured at all, so they fought more bravely than soldiers from other teams.
Since the priests and battle priests of the Temple of Liberty withdrew from the battle sequence of the Grimm Empire, the price of healing potions on the Grimm Empire magic market rose at least ten times at night, and the price of herbal medicines continued to rise, which led to Many fighters dare not be injured in battle.
In the absence of any means of treatment, serious injury is equal to death.
…
In the garrison camp, the cavalry sat neatly at the long table, with wooden plates in front of them, and everyone was eating their dinner quietly.
The cavalry battalion stipulates that no noise is allowed during meals. Everyone is eating in silence with their heads down. After eating, they clean up the plates and throw them into a steaming basin. These plates will be cleaned uniformly.
There are almost no fruits on the side of Dodan Town, but there are large bushes on the hilly side, which are rich in some cranberries, so the cavalry can still get some fresh berries after meals.
Every night, the cavalry lined up by the wall of the water tower to take a cold shower. In fact, the water in the water tower was still warm in the evening after being exposed to the sun for a day. After a whole day of training, the cavalry was covered in sweat. At this time, everyone is queuing up and taking a cold shower, which is the most relaxing time of the day.
There are a lot of horses in the barracks. Every evening, a large number of horses are driven over from outside the town by the aboriginal herdsmen and run into the stables.
Under the setting sun, watching that kind of scene is still very easy to make people excited.
At this moment, the mercenaries who were imprisoned in the simple prison realized that they might have underestimated the true strength of the garrison. They seemed to be completely different from the cavalry battalion of the Langdon Legion.
Whether it is horses, various armaments, the sophistication of armor and weapons, or the high fighting will and optimistic attitude of the cavalry, they were not possessed by the previous cavalry battalion.
After treating the cavalry, Suldak did not treat the mercenaries.
After washing the blood off his hands, he walked out of the cavalry dormitory. The chief cook in the barracks had already brought a plate full of stew and scones, and was waiting at the door of the dormitory.
If it wasn't for fear of being scolded by Suerdak, he would even bring dinner into the dormitory.
Suldak took the plate and felt that he was also hungry.
At this time, the guard ran over to report to him: "Mrs. Luna from the town hall, Batra tax collector, the owner of the tailor shop, and the owner of the bakery are all waiting in front of the small building..."
Suldak quickly put down the plate in his hand, and followed the guards to the small building.
…
The owner of the trading firm, Josh. After Baron Golding received the notice that the business was closed, he did not rush to the trading business immediately, nor did he go to the barracks. Instead, he asked the steward beside him which legion the cavalry battalion belonged to and Suldak's background. .
He was lying on a deck chair by the pool in the manor. Two blond beauties were standing and rubbing his legs. The butler stood aside and said to Baron Golding:
"We have received news that the Luthor Legion led by the Marquis Luther, the main combat faction in Bena Province, who rushed to Dodan Town to change defense this time, but the army that came to the Bailin plane is not the main force of the legion. Swordsman Chester is the commander in chief of the deputy legion, responsible for the defense of the northern area of the Bailin plane."
"At present, there is a coup d'état in the Tarapakan area of Bena Province. Marquis Luther went to Tabei to suppress the military coup. He has no time to manage the military and political affairs of the Bailin plane."
"We have no news about the Baron of Suldak...the only thing we know is that his cavalry battalion should be newly formed and has a new designation, so we suspect that he should be temporarily transferred to the Luthor Legion The miscellaneous army came to the Bailin plane to earn meritorious service, but I don't know why they came to Dodan Town..."
The housekeeper asked Josh about every detail. Baron Golding introduced some information he had learned.
The reason why Suldak was investigated was that Suldak drove away the mayor of the town, Marko, just after taking office, and obtained the military power of the city defense brigade by extremely tough means. In addition, the trading firm also suspected that The adventure group that looted the slave traders was collectively wiped out outside the town, which had a lot to do with the cavalry battalion.
Only in the recent period, the gate of the north city wall has not been opened, and the investigation on the side of the business has not been carried out yet.
Josh. Baron Golding put down the exquisite porcelain cup in his hand, sat up from the chair, and looked thoughtfully at the setting sun that was about to sink into the mountains in the distance. He suddenly found that he seemed to be ignoring the commander in the garrison camp. up.
"What did Anthony do? The armed group of the trading house hired nearly a hundred mercenaries. Although these mercenaries are not considered to be constructed warriors, they at least have some magic pattern armor, and they all have the strength of more than one turn. Why can't even the ordinary cavalry in the cavalry battalion be defeated?" Josh. Baron Golding asked, frowning.
The steward coughed lightly, and then said: "Commander Suldak has three very powerful cronies, besides a construct warrior, there is also an ogre warrior, and the other is an archer. Their identities are unknown, and almost all of them have the strength of a high-level rank."
Josh. Baron Golding put down the teacup in his hand, pressed his forehead helplessly, and said, "It's impossible for just these three people to defeat our hundred mercenaries!"
He waved his hand and signaled the two young maids to leave.
He stood up on the chair, stood by the pool and said: "Barkley used to brag to me all day about how powerful the mercenaries in the mercenary guild are, but it doesn't seem to be doing so well now. I spend such a large amount of commission every year. , and now it looks like they were all thrown into the river..."
After finishing speaking, he kicked a wicker chair into the pool.
A big splash was stirred up in the swimming pool, startling a group of resting birds on the feeding poles in the garden to fly up.
Only the housekeeper stood aside without changing his face.
"What's the news from Commander Suldak?" Josh. Lord Golding asked again.
The steward immediately said: "Not yet, but the president of the mercenary union, Buckley, went to the garrison camp, as if he wanted to get him back."
"It seems that I have to go there myself!"
Josh. Baron Golding said with a sigh.
…
Josh. Baron Golding came to the gate of the barracks in a carriage, but was stopped by the guards at the gate.
The entourage stepped forward to inform Josh. After the identity of Baron Golding, he was still stopped by the guards outside the barracks, and he was allowed to enter the barracks after waiting for a while, but the magic caravan was not allowed to enter.
Josh. Baron Golding got off the magic caravan and walked into the barracks. The guards did not stop the ten followers around him.
Walking into the barracks, I happened to see the cavalry in the barracks finished their dinner. All the cavalry lined up and put the plates into the hot water basin, and threw the table knives into another box. The atmosphere in the barracks was a bit serious. All the cavalry Warriors will keep their voices low when chatting.
While passing the playground, I saw the cavalry training ground planned on the playground, the archery range was very clean, and the wooden figures and archery targets for practice were all scarred, Josh. Baron Golding's heart sank a little.
Although he doesn't have his own private army, it doesn't mean he has no vision.
It can be seen that this cavalry battalion usually receives a lot of daily training, and the training ground is very formal. Thinking that it was such a team of cavalry that overthrew the armed regiment that he worked so hard to form during the day.
Josh. Baron Golding felt a little inexplicably irritated in his heart. He guessed that the meeting with Commander Suldak this time was not destined to be too pleasant.
The cavalry guards brought him to a small single building, and signaled his ten followers to wait outside, then knocked on the door of the small building, and led the business owner Josh. Lord Golding entered the living room of the small building.
…
Josh. Baron Golding walked into the living room of the small building, only to find some people sitting on the sofa in the living room.
He walked into the living room, stood on the soft woolen carpet, looked around, nodded slightly to the guests on the sofa, and sat alone on a sofa. The aristocratic aura on his body made him look different.
The two people sitting in the corner, who looked like shop owners, looked at Josh. When he was with Baron Golding, he always showed flattering eyes.
Josh. When Lord Golding greeted them, they all stood up hastily.
Seeing that no one is special sitting in the living room, Josh. Baron Golding calmed down a little.
He took out a pipe, put it to his mouth, turned to Mrs. Luna with a smile and said:
"Ms. Luna, I heard that you have recently taken over the daily affairs of the town hall. I haven't had time to congratulate you these few days."
Although he said this in his mouth, his eyes still showed indifference. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't think highly of this old woman who was no longer young.
She can become Mayor Marko's secretary, but not let Mayor Marko lie on her bed.
Now Mayor Marko is being detained in Wilkes City, she has lost her biggest backer, and the capital of her body slipped away with her youth a few years ago.
Now she is like a piece of bagasse that has been drained of sweet water, without any value.
Mrs. Luna quickly put on a smile, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible, she hurriedly said: "Baron Golding, you are laughing! I am just temporarily managing the daily affairs of the Town Hall of Dodan Township until the new mayor arrives. business."
Josh. Baron Golding just greeted politely, and then said to the Batra tax collector:
"I heard that you were a little frightened a few days ago, but you seem to be recovering well now. I hope that the mayor will not be as **** as Marco!"
For tax collector Batra, he didn't even feel perfunctory. He knew that there were a pair of eyes in the town hall every day and every moment staring at his trading house.
But Josh. Baron Golding doesn't think this will affect him, so just stare! I can't eat it again...
In his eyes, Tax Officer Batra looked like a mung bean fly. If he could slap him to death, he would definitely not be polite.
Now he can only bear the nausea in his throat, watching him sitting opposite him.
Josh. In the end, Baron Golding said very kindly to the president of the mercenary union, Barkley, "I wanted to ask you to come together, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me. I will find a way to get these mercenaries out." Come…"
President Barkley smiled wryly, nodded slightly and said: "It's really causing you trouble, I didn't expect them to be so bold, and they would actually fight against the local garrison. These people are usually lazy, and they don't even remember the empire. According to the law, I think they should be detained in the barracks for a few more days, and suffer a lot."
At this time, Suldak came out of the study holding a parchment account book. He was wearing a salamander leather armor and sat silently on the main seat in the living room.
Then he raised his head and said to President Buckley: "You are the president of the Mercenary Union, Buckley?"
President Buckley of the Mercenary Union showed an embarrassed smile and said to Suldak:
"Commander Suldak, those mercenaries in the trade union have caused you trouble. I heard that they offended you at the entrance of the trading house in the morning. I think there must be some misunderstanding. It's a bunch of reckless men, a bunch of brains."
"Although I have made some contributions to Dodan Town, I have always been used to it. They must not recognize your identity!"
"Otherwise I don't think they will offend you no matter how daring they are!"
"In this regard, I also hope that they can learn some lessons. Our mercenary union has made some mistakes in management, and we accept punishment..."
Suldak didn't expect that the president of the mercenary union, Barkley, would put his posture so low. The speech he had prepared was useless, so he pondered for a while before saying:
"Each mercenary can take it away after paying 50 silver coins. The barracks will not arrange dinner for them. If this happens again in the future, they will no longer be fined. The town will arrange for them to stay in Dodan You don’t have to come to me, if you want to shorten their sentence, you need someone who is familiar with the laws of the Grimm Empire to defend them…”
President Buckley of the mercenary union stared wide-eyed, looking at Suldak blankly.
Suldak smiled "hehe", patted his shoulder and said to him: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, these systems are established little by little, and you will be familiar with them soon!"
