As soon as Xu Lai finished speaking, the infantry and militiamen on the opposite side immediately started to commotion.
Some people even drew their weapons directly, and finally hid behind the shield under the stern gaze of the Sheriff.
The Sheriff did not carry a shield, but he carried a two-handed giant sword behind his back. Xu Lai guessed that he should be a swordsman of at least level 5.
“You don’t know Mount Novak?”
Xu Lai has obtained some information from the temple and has some impressions of important cities in the empire, but about those mountains in the empire, Rivers and the like, I really don’t remember that much.
The territory of the empire was too vast, almost wider than a complete continent on Earth. It was unrealistic for him to memorize so much information in a hurry.
What's more, Xu Lai is not interested in these yet.
“Do I have to know Mount Novak? Or do you think that because I don’t know Mount Novak, I am not a member of the Empire? Could it be that I am a demon?”
As soon as Xu Lai finished speaking, the infantrymen on the opposite side all drew their weapons.
On the arrow tower behind these infantry, the alert archers may not be able to hear what they are saying, but they must have seen the scene of the swordsman fighting at the door.
Yu Lan on the ground raised her wings, and she also saw the arrows aimed at them.
To be honest, although Xu Lai went to the wilderness for his own personal gain, part of it was to repay the temple's kindness.
And what he did was at least bring back an ogre army and a wolf cavalry army for Count Aini on the front line, and successfully caused serious problems in the orcs' logistics.
It can be said that as long as Count Aini is stable and does not allow the orcs to obtain too much food and grass from the grassland, the orcs will definitely retreat within a month.
Alternatively, the orcs will use all their strength and concentrate the power of the entire camp to invade.
It's hard to say what else. Once the main force of the orcs leaves, the wild land will definitely be occupied by the fortress.
This possibility cannot be said to be nonexistent, but it can only be said to be very low.
Therefore, Xu Lai believed that he had made great contributions to the empire. Now that he had just escaped from the wilderness and was being treated like this by his own people, Xu Lai could not help but be angry.
It’s just that he is no longer what he used to be. After all, he is a person who has experienced countless big scenes, and he will not be happy for such a small scene.
“If you sheath your swords now and put away the bows and arrows aimed at me, I will treat this as a misunderstanding.
If you are unable to do it within ten breaths, I can only regard it as a provocation to me, and I will use all means to maintain the dignity of myself, the Imperial Baron, and the Lord of Qingfeng Castle. ”
Afraid of any misunderstanding, Xu Lai specifically stated his identity.
Sure enough, when Xu Lai revealed his identity as the Imperial Baron, the Sheriff coughed and signaled to himself The men put away their weapons.
"Sorry, we are being invaded by demons. If you are really an imperial noble, please don't make such a joke. ”
“Invaded by demons? So is this the Western Empire or the Northern Empire? ”
The Sheriff glanced at Xu Lai with an unusual expression. Just as he was about to answer, the mayor of Green Forest Town finally arrived late.
The mayor did not come alone. He was followed by several knights. Except for the one beside the mayor, the knights behind him were all dressed in standard ranger attire.
Xu Lai was very familiar with this outfit, and he could tell at a glance that they were all recruiting soldiers.
Serious rangers are recruited into the army. Even if they have to uniform their military uniforms, they must wear more conspicuous medals and ribbons on their chests, arms and other places to identify themselves and to distinguish themselves from other noble troops. distinguish.
Only recruit soldiers and cannot equip any additional equipment. They can only be distinguished by different battle flags.
As for the real knight next to him, Xu Lai also recognized it at a glance. He was dressed in a nondescript outfit, which was similar to Xu Lai's own. It's just that the other knight's equipment couldn't be as good as his.
"What is the Empire Baron, the Lord of Qingfeng Castle? The empire has been established for so long, and I have never heard of such a Qingfeng Territory.
Since you said that you are an Empire Baron, may I ask your noble Where is the coat of arms! ”
The coat of arms of the nobility represents the identity of a noble and should generally be issued by the noble council.
However, the empire has been divided, and of course it is impossible for the noble council to do such a thing anymore, so whoever canonized Xu Lai should ask whoever wants it.
Earl Aini has recorded Xu Lai's emblem, which is the image of a knight stabbing Beamon to death, but the noble emblem was not yet in Xu Lai's hands.
After all, the two have not seen each other since the end of the war.
It is impossible for Count Aini to just send someone to deliver this kind of thing to Xu Lai.
Even if Count Aini did send someone over, Xu Lailonggong didn't stay in his fortress for a few days, so it was difficult to meet him.
Seeing that Xu Lai could not answer this question for a while, the mayor was even more proud. He snorted coldly:
"Don't think that I can't tell who you are. Judging from your appearance, you should be a hero from heaven.
However, although heroes from heaven can also control the recruitment of soldiers, they are not nobles after all. They pretend to be nobles. Identity is a very serious crime in the empire!"
Xu Lai didn't bother to defend himself. Anyway, his flag was right behind him, and he would probably be in sight in an hour or two at most.
His giant beast killer battle flag was directly stripped away by the golden light. As Xu Lai's family symbol, this pattern was recorded by Count Aini and the temple.
Although there are no clergy in Greenwood Town, the church should still be there, and there should also be apprentices who are not qualified to go to the battlefield. When the time comes, all he needs to do is let them check the pattern. Wouldn't that be more convincing than his empty words?
"Mr. Mayor, I don't want to discuss the issue of imperial nobles with you now. Can you tell me where Greenwood Town is?"
Although the mayor has indeed not heard anything. Qingfeng Territory, such a name cannot exist on the land of the empire.
But Xu Lai's reputation was not fake. He was still so calm after seeing that the other party was exposed by him. On the contrary, the mayor felt a little guilty.
“Greenwood Town is located in the north of the empire. It is the territory of Viscount Notting and is protected by His Royal Highness Aled.
No matter who you are, we do not welcome you in Green Forest Town. "
"Your Highness Aled, that means this is the territory of the Northern Empire, so it's not too bad. ”
What Xu Lai is most afraid of is to teleport him directly to the Eastern Empire or the Southern Empire. If he goes to those two places, it will not only be a thousand kilometers to get home, but it will probably be tens of thousands of kilometers around.
Just the food and other expenses that need to be purchased along the way may be an astronomical figure.
In that case, Xu Lai would have to consider settling the group of people he brought back nearby. Xu Lai still has a lot of castle heart in him.
Some are unused, and some are obtained from destroying orc towns in the wilderness.
Not long ago, Harris gave him a fortress-level Castle Heart, which was supposed to be obtained by destroying Kuba City.
This old guy is much more ruthless than him. He is also worried about those people who cannot be taken away. As a result, in order to take revenge on the orcs, this old guy even ignores the hard workers who suffered together.
Of course, this does not mean that Harris and the others are inhumane. Anyway, most of the people left behind are lizards and werewolves.
The human race has no feelings towards these races. Harris will naturally not feel any burden if he tricks them.
Therefore, as long as Xu Lai is willing, he can build another city anywhere at any time.
It just needs to be planned well, otherwise it will be built randomly, which will offend the local nobles, and they may be punished by them.
But since we are in the Northern Empire now, there is no need to worry too much. Even in the farthest reaches of the Northern Empire, it does not take long to return to the grassland.
If we can find the teleportation array, we may be able to reach Pingfeng Grassland in two or three days. Count Aini's castle has a large teleportation array.
“So, Mr. Mayor, could you please introduce me to Viscount Notting?
Alternatively, Mr. Mayor can tell me where Viscount Notting's city is, and I can visit him myself. "
The viscounty should have a base camp-level city. In a city of this level, as long as the lord is willing, a small teleportation array can be built.
Of course it is impossible for Xu Lai to go back by himself, but He hasn't returned to the territory for nearly a month, and he is still worried about his Qingfeng Castle.
The most important thing is that the large teleportation array in the castle cannot be used by him casually. Xu Lai found this Nordin first. Viscount, if you establish a good relationship with him and ask him to introduce you, the success rate will be higher.
However, the mayor on the opposite side looks like he is a fool.
"Where do you come from? Even if you are a hero from heaven, it's impossible that you don't know the current situation in the Northern Empire."
Xu Lai shrugged and said, "I was about to ask."
< br>The mayor was speechless and glanced at the human hero following him.
The man seemed to understand the mayor's thoughts very well. He took the initiative to get out of the crowd, followed closely by the six rangers behind him.
With Xu Lai's keen perception, he could also feel the gaze from the arrow tower, and there should be men of this human hero above.
"What's your name, brother, and where are you from?
The ones you brought are griffins, right? Why is there a big eagle? I remember that there shouldn't be such a unit in the empire sequence. Is it hidden?"< br>
Xu Lai didn't like the other party's familiar way, especially when he greeted him cheerfully on the surface, asking only questions, but didn't even introduce himself.
Of course, there may also be elements of hating Ujiwu. After all, they are both human beings. As soon as he appears, he is treated as an enemy, which makes no one feel comfortable.
This guy Xu Lailai once again asked the mayor of Green Forest Town: "Does the mayor have to regard us as enemies?"
The mayor was silent for a moment.
Whether it’s the griffins around Xu Lai or the equipment on Xu Lai’s body that is immediately valuable.
Or maybe the pressure brought by Xu Lai's terrifying reputation did not allow him to ignore Xu Lai's questions again and again.
“The Northern Empire is currently being invaded by demons. While we are fighting against the traitors of the Western Empire, we have divided our troops into two groups.
One group entered the hinterland of the Western Empire, and the other group. Captured the sacred Mount Norwalk
His Highness Aled has called on all the lords to encircle and suppress the demons on Novak Mountain. "
Xu Lai nodded and said: "I heard just now that all the clergy in your town have been recruited. I want to ask is Novak Mountain really so important? "
The mayor glanced at Xu Lai and saw that his face was really full of curiosity. He sighed and said:
"There is nothing strange about Novak Mountain. What is strange is Novak. At the top of the mountain, there is the only mountain fortress in the entire empire! "(End of this chapter)
