Rise In Calradia

Chapter 22: : Viruga

   "How do you prove that you are not a spy for Swadia?"

  In a small wooden castle on the northern border of Rodok, an officer in a green coat with stripes and tomahawks painted on his chest is seriously interrogating the "prisoner" in front of him.

   "As I said, we are not spies, I am just a businessman driven by the dinar."

  Byron is still calm and calm at this time, he must explain his intention clearly, otherwise the consequences will be miserable.

   After crossing the border cordon of Swadia, Byron and the others did not spend much time here. This is a gap between the mountains, and it is a path that smugglers must pass now.

   Even though the two countries have been fighting for half a year, business travel has not been completely cut off. There are still many merchants selling or buying goods through mountain paths, such as smuggling goods through this mountain road that was completely cut off by the Rhodok Kingdom with two castles.

Because many aristocrats in Swadia rely on the foreign trade of their territories to survive and do not support this war that is of little significance to them, they have been trying to restore a trade channel, even if King Haraus has already imposed a ban. It is impossible to cut off the circulation of interest chains among these nobles.

   But the Rhodoks didn't think so. Perhaps these smugglers brought a lot of goods, but the spies would also follow the caravan to take advantage of it.

   After so many years of competing with Swadia, the Kingdom of Rhodok is very cautious about the problems related to this neighbor.

   Byron is now being interrogated by the sergeant. He must fully explain his identity and purpose, otherwise he will be taken directly.

"I swear that we are absolutely not spies, and I am not loyal to any country. We are mercenaries, and we contribute to the money. And I can assure you that if you need it, we can completely remove from the kingdom under your supervision. Go out at one end. Then even if we are spies, I am afraid that the intelligence will be out of date, and it will not be threatening to you."

   The sergeant thought for a while, and overturned a small pocket that Byron quietly handed him, telling Byron that they passed the inspection.

   But he told Byron and his men that he had to stay here for a day or two, and a force would send them to Veluga.

  Byron felt very strange about this. After a little inquiries, and bribes a few silver coins, he figured out the whole story.

   These forces protect them as well as monitor them.

   A small team will come here every five days, take the smuggling caravans away, take them to Veluga, and go through the formalities and certifications. They can then rely on this proof to move freely in Virukanan.

   If there is no proof when entering and exiting various city levels, you will have to go to prison.

   And one more thing to note is that if you want to leave Rhodok, you can only walk from the east border. The north border is only allowed to enter, not to exit.

   Although it sounds a bit difficult to understand, the effect of this plan is not bad.

   neither affects the domestic trade activities of foreign businessmen, but also minimizes hidden dangers.

   In this way, Byron and the others stayed here for one day, and in the early morning of the next day, they followed a group of Rodok spearmen to leave the small fortress and head straight for Veluga.

   In addition to Byron and the others, there are two other teams, both from Swadia. Their caravan is slightly smaller than Byron's, and the value of the goods is slightly lower.

   These spearmen are called "Rodok Skilled Spearmen" according to the standards in the game. They carry a broad shield and a 3-meter long spear. There are 10 people.

   There are also 5 crossbowmen following the team. The crossbows in their hands are all pedal crossbows, which are more powerful than hunting crossbows and can shoot through chain mail.

   Byron believed that if his team had a head-on conflict with the opponent, he basically had no chance of winning.

   Fortunately, they were there. Although I saw signs of bandits along the way, because there were so many soldiers in the team, they passed safely through the places that were easy to ambush.

   A plain finally appeared before Byron's eyes after passing through unexplored forests and many mountain roads. From here, it is the most prosperous area in Rodok. If you continue from here, you will reach Veluga.

"gorgeous."

   Seeing the beautiful scenery in the distance, Byron couldn't help but let out a sigh.

  Different from the vast wilderness of Swadia, farms are lined up on both sides of the road, one after the other, extending into the distance.

  The farmland is planned neatly, and no one inch of land suitable for cultivation is wasted.

   The seedlings of the crops are growing vigorously, even though they are higher than the ankle of a person. This green, which symbolizes hope, fills this whole area, and it is very pleasing to the eye at first glance.

   The farmer drove the cattle, the farmer’s wife was busy with housework, the children ran and played in the village, and the smiles on their faces could be seen far away. Of course, I saw it in my heart.

  The closer you get to Veluga, the more prosperous the countryside.

  The huge vineyard exudes a unique fragrance, and the sheep by the stream are lying lazily on the ground~www.novelmt.com~ They are rich in body and well-nourished, and they drink the sweet water in the stream.

   This is like a world in a painting, beautiful and peaceful.

   Even if there are soldiers on patrol on the road, the attitude is very friendly.

   "There is not much flat land in Rhodok, and the population is concentrated. But now it seems that Rhodok is developing well under the rule of King Grifos."

   Although Fatis did not praise too much as a Swadian, Byron could see that he liked it very much.

   But it is precisely because of the abundance here that the noble lords of Swadia have always wanted to conquer this place and take it all away.

  Because of the superior environmental conditions, the lords here can rule and live well as long as they don’t be stupid.

  Byron also likes this place, and he also thinks that he would never be stupid if he were the ruler of this place.

   The walls of Veluga and the roofs of the buildings in the city appeared in their eyes.

   In the direction of Veluga, a few soldiers on horseback dared to come towards them.

   It is very realistic that in the game, no one in the Kingdom of Rodok can ride horses except for the lord. In reality, although Rodok lacks good horses, there are still a lot of ordinary horses.

   Rodok also has his own knight force, and the sergeants also use horses to travel. But the interesting thing is that when they fight, they often get off the horse and fight on foot. In this regard, they are similar to Nord's elite troops.

   The shields of those soldiers have the family crest of the nobleman, which looks like the private army of the nobleman.

   They found the leader of the Rodok squadron who was escorting the caravan, and after anxiously asked a few words, they left.

   In the next few minutes, Byron used a sack of red wine from the captain's mouth to get the news out. Hearing the news, he was happy again.
