On November 2, in the Kirislav Territory on the edge of the Frostwolf Forest, the sixth prince Durosun Nicholas heard that Lant Galloping was passing by and wanted to communicate with him.
From the news coming from Nikolagrad in the past two days, the war west of the Benma Plain has completely ceased. Yeqi City has also stopped its own war protection. It is obvious that a new war is brewing.
Du Luosong didn't have much news about Galloping Horse. Now that Lant came in person, he quickly put on his formal clothes and went to get the news about the other party.
The original Kirislav camp, after several months of construction by Durosun, is now quite large and has become a small city.
The circular outermost wall is about 300 meters in diameter and less than 20 meters high. It has gates on the east and west sides and is adjacent to a direct stream of the Benma River in the south.
Although the outer facade of the city wall is covered with stones, the inside of the stones has cement as a foundation, making it indestructible against ordinary weapons.
Lant came here this time, nominally to go hunting in the forest, and by the way, he delivered the 20 iron pipes ordered by Durosong.
Standing under the city wall, Lant probably understood that the owner inside was probably similar to himself, and was also a soul floating from another world: the buildings within the gate were very neatly planned, and the castle on the hillside in the city was a concrete building, surrounded by Various simple factories.
"Lord Marquis? I heard that you defeated the orcs and truly owned the Galloping Horse Plains?" Durosong led the knights and a group of girls to welcome him out of the city.
"Thanks to His Majesty's protection," Lant nodded, "the orcs no longer covet the Galloping Horse Plains."
"When I came here, I happened to catch up with the caravan coming to deliver the goods, so I followed." Lant turned sideways, revealing the cart behind him, "They said that the inner wall of your customized iron pipe needs magic patterns to resist high temperature and high pressure? "
"This is because..."
Seeing the embarrassment on Du Luosong's face, Lant asked with a smile: "You won't find magma in your castle, right?"
Of course he knew that these iron pipes were used to make cannons. Previously, Tutapala not only introduced the progress and indicators of Durosong's cannon-making in detail, but even ordered people to trial-build a few according to the iron pipes he ordered, and fired them. Several shells were fired with black powder as the explosive.
To be precise, Lant came here this time just to see if Prince Durosong had opened up the advanced technology trees of yellow explosives, mercury fulminates and other gunpowders.
Discovering that Lant was not in trouble, Du Luosong was relieved. He quickly explained: "I built some blacksmith shops here. The temperature of the water in the photos is quite high. I bought iron pipes to drain the wastewater."
"Your Highness, if it is used for sewage discharge, I suggest that you do some treatment for this wastewater. Once the finless porpoise tribe thinks that your territory is too polluted, they may cut off the entire waterway. My people can help you dig sedimentation ponds and wastewater. After a few sedimentations, the contamination should be much smaller.”
"Uh..." The Sixth Prince had never thought that a feudal world would actually discuss environmental issues.
Du Luosong's men moved the iron pipes from the carriage one by one until the last one was transported, and the handover was finally completed.
Rant was about to leave on horseback. After walking for several steps, he turned back and asked the prince pretending to be casual: "Your Highness, there is one more thing I need to confirm. Do you know Count Caspian Maned Wolf?"
"Of course," Durosun knew that this might be Lant's main purpose, so he quickly said seriously, "Count Kempins invaded the forest territory belonging to Kirislav a few days ago and attacked our patrol. As a result, 2 knights died and 6 others were seriously injured.
Lord Lant, as the prince of Kirislav, I have reason to believe that the count's invasion was premeditated and planned! "
Of course Du Luosong was talking nonsense. After escorting Kebbins and Jessica back to the castle that day, Jessica had done everything. Kebbins had no intention of invading at all. Everything was a revenge plan of the red dragon bloodline.
Now Du Luosong is also riding a tiger. In order to keep this high-ranking man in check, three witches with different heritages have been guarding him. If Kebbins is let go, the high-ranking earl will definitely take out all his wealth. .
However, if he doesn't let him go, it will obviously turn into an international dispute between Kirislav and the dragon. The witch he raised will still be exposed, and the knights of both parties may also make themselves proud.
Lant shook his head and said: "Your Highness, what I heard is slightly different from what you heard. According to the Maned Wolf family, that forest was a plantation developed by the northwest earl, and your people not only attacked the earl, but also A noble lady beside him even killed two high-ranking knights in a frenzied manner."
"this……"
"Your Highness, the empire has clear laws. Nobles above the earl have considerable immunity. Even if he accidentally kills your knight, he should go to the Dragon Tooth City Council to file a lawsuit. Now you have not only detained him, but also hidden him. This news." Lant showed a regretful tone, "On behalf of the Dragon Kingdom and the Northwest Earl Territory, I must make the biggest protest to you and ask you to immediately release the Earl and Ms. Jessica!"
Lant spoke slowly and did not seem to be in a hurry at all, which gave Durosson the illusion that the count was actually happy to be detained by him, and now he was just here for a routine matter.
The prince's brain was spinning rapidly, and he was thinking of reasons to drag on, while entangled with Lant: "Unfortunately, when my knights arrested him, they did not find any proof of noble identity, and the wound on the Earl's stomach is very serious now. , if it weren’t for my people working hard to treat him, he wouldn’t even be alive now.”
"I have reported it to Nikolagrad and asked Kirislav to appoint a legendary national pillar to discuss this matter!"
"Oh, then I have no choice," Lant smiled, as if he saw victory, "According to the Noble Code and past precedents, the Northwest Earldom will launch a war against your territory within 5 days to save the country. Our Count."
"Ah? Start a war?" The prince was stunned.
Lant nodded and said: "Yes, we will send relevant notices to the Kirislav representative offices in Yeqi City, Dragon Tooth City and the Imperial Capital. I hope you won't be too surprised by then!"
Before the sixth prince could say another word, Lant had already galloped towards White Wolf City, whipping up his horse and whip.
"Your Highness, that man is very dangerous," a woman came over from behind Du Luosong and said in his ear, "I just tried to approach him from the magic net, but failed."
"What's even more troublesome is that he is preparing to fight me head-on," Durosong said with a grimace. "I thought that after he was done fighting the orcs, he would turn his spear against me, but I didn't expect him to do it so quickly. Deal with the orcs."
The woman whispered: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter. The main members of my Witch Club are almost here. They are all very grateful to you for providing a territory that accepts witches, and they are willing to fight for you."
