In the thin morning fog, Renault saw leiyunbao standing in the bend of the river from a distance.
When the Cantera river flows through this vast plain, it turns a sharp bend here and forms a river bend. Leiyunbao is just built in the river bend, which also creates a city surrounded by water on three sides.
This unique geographical situation is extremely beneficial to the defense of the city. The wide Cantra river is naturally the moat of leiyunbao. If the enemy wants to capture leiyunbao, they can only attack from the north of the city wall, which is very unfavorable to the deployment of troops.
It is impossible to attack the city from the water. When the ship is close to leiyunbao, it will become a live target. After a round of rocket of the city wall, the ship will become a large torch.
The Cantra River means more to Raymond Castle than that.
It not only provides enough clean water for the city, but also is an important business road. Goods from all over the world can arrive at leiyunbao continuously by ship, and the transportation cost is significantly lower than that of land transportation.
Thanks to the above advantages, leiyunbao has become an important north border town with developed commerce and trade in just a few decades.
It can be seen from this that the founder of Raymond castle, the first Duke of Castro, is really a noble with great vision.
When they walked along the trampled road to 2 kilometers away from the north gate of leiyunbao, they found that a large number of people gathered at the gate of the city. The noise spread far away. It seemed that there were a lot of wooden roadblocks outside the gate, and there were guards around.
Renault remembers that when he left leiyunbao a few days ago, although there were guards at the gate of the city, most of them were symbolic, and there would not be such a large-scale congestion.
Obviously, this should be a checkpoint that has just been set up. Anyone entering the city must be carefully examined by the guards. It''s not surprising that leiyunbao made such a response in connection with the recent attack of black orcs.
This is the idea of most people, but Renault saw Prince Castro jumping up and down from it.
Leiyunbao is more than 150 kilometers away from the border. The forces of the black orcs crossing the border are limited, and the purpose is only to retaliate. How can they fight against leiyunbao with heavy troops? Is the black bastard dying?
The old dog knew everything in his heart, but he didn''t say a word. On the contrary, he deliberately created a tense atmosphere.
Renault thinks with his toes. In the future, most of the old people will send a lot of people to control the traffic arteries in the north and control the whole North. Anyone who goes in or out of the north will be closely monitored by this guy.
The reason is also very easy to find, a "fight against black bastards, stabilize people''s minds" can easily refute all opposition.
"Control the main road" sounds like nothing, but please note that this is a foreign world where "enfeoffment" is implemented. The so-called "main road" is often the territory of other nobles.
In other words, the Duke can take advantage of this opportunity to put his hand into other people''s bowls.
Is it awesome?
Of course it''s awesome!
Once the Duke takes control of the Northern Territory, anyone who dares to make small moves secretly will be pressed on the ground for the first time by him.
Bad old man is very bad. He must be able to do such a thing.
Renault didn''t know that the Duke of Castro started faster than he thought. The Duke came up with this plan on the morning when the news of the black orcs crossing the border reached Raymond castle.
It has to be said that anyone who is treacherous to a certain extent has a special taste of the bad water in his stomach.
At this time, there were two lines at the gate of the city. The left line was nearly 100 meters long. The guards in charge of the inspection searched very carefully, and their attitude was quite rough. They were often scolded. The speed of the line could be described as wriggling.
There are only a few people on the right side of the team. The inspection of the guards is almost nonexistent. They just have a visual inspection. They hardly start to search and salute. Their service attitude is extremely good. Everyone smiles and bows after checking.
The former is the common passage, while the latter is the noble passage, which can only be passed by the nobles and their relatives, servants, or the capable.
In the alien world, this kind of thing is so common that everyone is used to it and takes it for granted.
Even if the noble passage is empty, there will be no civilians trying to pass through the noble passage.
In fact, this is not the only thing. In everything, civilians and nobles will be treated differently. The word "class" has infiltrated into the blood of the people of other worlds.
Close to the gate, gulum, who was walking in the front of the procession, pulled the reins with both hands under the gaze of hundreds of civilians and drove the mount to the right passage. Other island guards immediately followed him.
Seeing that Renault and his party were all riding on high horses, the guard understood that the identity of these people was not simple, so he did not make any action to stop them. He just asked out loud with a smile:
"gentlemen, excuse me..."
The guard''s face gaped before he finished speaking.Because gulum slowly floated up from the saddle, standing in the void, staring at the guard with a blank face.
No one knows, at the moment, Gollum''s heart has been happy.
God knows how long he has been looking forward to this moment. On the way back, this wretched guy has imagined countless times what kind of posture he should take to enter leiyunbao to show (show off) his status as an extraordinary person.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to follow the Lord''s practice, that is, "stand in the air without expression", because this posture looks the most dignified, so he practiced it several times quietly.
Gollum didn''t want to play this trick in front of other island guards, but every time he thought of a box on the back of the pack animal containing the heads of two extraordinary people, his heart was completely quiet.
Oh, let''s forget it. Let''s show off one day after we chop down a black man
However, I''m sorry to show off in front of the island guards, but I can do it in front of the civilians
Many civilians have never seen the extraordinary people in their life. I''m not showing off. I''m giving them welfare!
Therefore, when entering leiyunbao, Gollum walked in the front of the team abnormally. Before the guard finished asking, he couldn''t wait to float.
Ah, this is the highlight of my life
If it wasn''t for the entrance of the city gate, which is only 5 meters high, he really wanted to jump to the position of more than 10 meters in one breath to make himself more eye-catching.
Then, gulum was very satisfied to hear the crowd in an uproar, and was also very satisfied to see the guard bow respectfully, and let go of the road in awe.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the desperation experience of being chased and killed by magic water giant got enough reward.
Behind Gollum, Renault watched him squirm from the air to the saddle at a "high speed" of 20 cm / s, and could not help covering his face.
But he didn''t say anything.
The problem of class solidification in the alien world is much more serious than that on earth. Just as ordinary people want to cross a class, they have to pay an unimaginable price.
Such a lucky person as Gollum once ascended the sky is rare in ten years. It''s understandable that he is a little complacent.
As a matter of fact, it''s quite strange for Renault that Gollum can bear to show off until now.
many.
With a strong mental power, he was acutely aware that there was a strong malice in some of his eyes.
