Chapter 30: Solve hidden dangers
After a greeting with the commander and the commander of the Purple Dragon Legion, Brian found a familiar knight walking over to Obert Jinyu.
"Lord, do you still remember me?" The young knight clamped his helmet under his armpit and said to Brian with a smile. "I didn't expect you to hide so deeply."
"Let me introduce it again. I am Alek. I am very happy to be able to serve under the Lord Lord." The young knight took off his iron guard and took the initiative to extend his right hand to him.
"Welcome to join." Brian stared at the handsome young paladin, responded with a smile, and reached out to shake the other person with a hand.
This person is a Thom Paladin who has reached the third level of strength when he and Glar and others dealt with the ghost man at the banquet.
As the true god of one of the three gods of justice, Tom is a stern, upright and unyielding god, and is also the most active good god to fight against evil forces.
Brian glanced roughly and found that at least five of these Purple Dragon Knights exuded a unique sacred aura.
Even without losing detection spells, he could detect that they were all based on paladins and then advanced to a Purple Dragon Knight.
Among their players, becoming a paladin who is a Purple Dragon Knight can continue to increase the paladin level without stagnating.
Although the Purple Dragon Knight, who was advanced from the Paladin, can be said to be a model of discipline and high-quality martial arts. While inheriting the professional ability of the Paladin, he also gained advanced ability.
However, when Brian was first established, he did not want to have too much contact with this group of orderly and kind Paladin sects.
Otherwise, when he saw this paladin for the first time, he would directly feel the desire to recruit.
Then, Brian led the group of men toward the Rock Bunker.
The Rock Bunker is located on a hill overlooking the entire town. There is a garrison barracks in the castle atrium, so there is no problem with the placement of these more than 500 people.
In addition, there are stables, armorys, blacksmith shops and storage rooms in the courtyard, and even a small chapel of Bain.
However, the chapel has been demolished by him this week, and it can be set up as a prayer room for these paladins.
The reason why he arranged this way was mainly because the castle was not that attractive to him, it was just a temporary place to settle down.
Because when he built the Wizard Tower, he would live in the tower, and there was still a more luxurious manor than a castle in the alien space.
Therefore, he originally planned to leave this castle to the Purple Dragon Legion and the Battle Mage.
In this way, they can have time to train as many soldiers as possible.
If you think about the worst, even if Mokou Town is broken, he will still have the strongest internal defense line of Rock Bunker, which can resist stubbornly.
Among the major kingdoms and many territories in this world, many failed siege wars were caused by the fact that after taking down the city, they found that the lord castle inside was harder to chew than they thought. They were eventually attacked by reinforcements from the way they rushed to death.
At the beginning, if he had not asked Glar to pretend to surrender to the Santtalin Association and let the Dragon Skeleton Mercenary Group act as an insider to help them open the gate of the castle, no matter how many people he had, he would not have been able to occupy the castle quickly when the soldiers and food were sufficient.
Looking at the team behind him, Brian knew that the joining of more than 500 new forces finally alleviated the shortage of personnel in the town.
After all, he only took over Mokou Town for a few days. During this period, he still restored nearly 2,000 slaves to their freedom in an unprecedented manner.
In this case, the most serious problem faced is how to manage them and let them complete their work honestly according to the planned plan.
At this time, in addition to relocating the town's defense and internal patrols, he also had to spend most of his men to manage them.
Now, he can completely let the Purple Dragon Legion take over the city defense and patrol outside the town, while the former leader of the Dragon Skeleton Mercenary Corps, a group of mercenaries and newly recruited adventurers are responsible for the garrison in the city.
Glar's caravan will also free up a large number of people to keep the trade in Mokou Town running.
Just as the group walked through the central street of Mokou Town, Brian suddenly found a group of more than 20 people coming towards him.
The man in the lead is very strong, with a golden body and wearing a large number of gold jewelry. He looks like a nouveau riche who got rich overnight.
At the same time, out of his keenness of magic, Brian also found that six of the strong man's ten fingers were wearing magic rings.
This made him immediately recognize the identity of this person: Philip, the president of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, was a confidant who was placed in Mokou Town by Prince Selante of Cormier.
Then he pondered for a moment and guessed the purpose of the other party coming here.
The sewer force Death Rat Gang, which was secretly controlled by the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, was uprooted by him yesterday.
The next day, he sent someone to notify the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and asked him to release all the slaves of all the manors and mines under his name within three days, and then hand over all the land and resources owned in Mokou Town, and then take his people out of Mokou Town with him.
He had long expected that the other party would never agree to his seemingly unreasonable but reasonable conditions.
He was the ruler of Mokou Town, a land he recovered from the Santalin Society.
In this case, everything in the whole town belongs to his property, and if the merchants and slave owners who settle here do not accept him, they will be greeted with a ruthless butcher knife.
This is exactly the case.
As Brian recovered the land and resources, anyone who tried to resist, their bodies were all hung on wooden racks on the Punishment Square and allowed to be eaten by crows.
It was his tough and ruthless attitude that made all the merchants and slave owners who survived the entire town reluctantly hand over their territory and occupied resources.
Because in essence, these people also belong to his trophy.
But the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has always been indifferent.
Brian knew the forces behind this chamber of commerce, so he chose to wait for the superficial order of the town to stabilize temporarily, and then choose to take action against him to kill a chicken to warn the monkey, and tell all those who are convinced and dissatisfied, what will the consequences of resistance?
The Dead Rat Gang, who destroyed the sewer, was the first warning he gave to Philip.
He had no choice but to do this, after all, this town has been ruled by evil forces led by the Santalin Society for ten years, and it can be said to be rotten to its roots.
It is impossible for him to not have so much time and patience to rely on his personal charm to make these people turn back like Glar, and follow him one by one.
In this case, it is naturally the most efficient way to cut the mess with a quick knife.
Brian noticed that the smiling Chamber of Commerce president walked straight towards Purple Dragon Knight Obert Jinyu.
Seriously speaking, Philip belongs to Prince Selante, and his Mokou Town and these Purple Dragon Knights and War Mages are under the jurisdiction of Duke Raul of Arab City.
He knew the conflict between Prince Selante and the Raul family, so when he saw the president show kindness to the commander of the Purple Dragon Knight, he guessed that the other party was probably preparing to reveal his identity.
In this case, no matter how he said it, he would not be able to deal with the Eagle Chamber of Commerce openly or confiscate all his property and land.
Because they all belong to the people of the Kingdom of Cormier, doing so is undoubtedly equivalent to nakedly provoking Prince Selante's authority.
If Brian expected, the prince had not yet fully exposed his desire to usurp the throne. He should have been helping King Azene V, who was expeditioning the Dragon Coast, manage the internal affairs of the king.
At this time, his wings had not yet become hard. If he wanted to fight against the Ghost City, many places needed to rely on the Kingdom of Cormier behind him.
And he would not be able to solve this hidden danger cleanly and neatly.
The Eagle Chamber of Commerce will continue to breed maggots from dead bodies like flies, and then the maggots will give birth to flies.
Even when he was dealing with the Yinhun City, it was possible to stab him in the back.
After thinking about this question, a coldness appeared in Brian's eyes.
A problem that Philip overlooked was that although a few people in Mokou Town knew that he was Prince Selante's, the other party never made this identity public.
Brian could just treat him as if he didn't know.
"The people from the Eagle Chamber of Commerce refused to surrender and tried to resist stubbornly."
Just as Philip was about to walk towards everyone, Brian shouted coldly and ordered everyone: "Now, in the name of the Lord of Mokou Town, I will kill this group of rebels on the spot!"
"Purple Dragon Guard!" Obert Jinyu pulled out his sword without hesitation and shouted loudly.
Fifty purple dragon guards lowered their spears and walked towards more than 20 people from the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, surrounding them with more than 20 people.
"What do you want to do?! I am..." Philip's smile on his face suddenly froze, turning into an incredible shock.
"Puff!"
Before he could finish his words, a neat thrust was made. The closest chamber of commerce guard was stabbed into his back by the long spear of the Purple Dragon Guard. The sword that the guard had just pulled out slid from his soft and weak hands. The bloody tip of the gun pierced from under his ribs, penetrated the leather vest and armor.
The sword has not landed, and the man has died.
Purple Dragon Knight Alek personally swung his sword and cut open the throat of another guard.
A stream of blood splattered.
The other guards were also caught off guard and were killed on the spot by the Purple Dragon Guards.
Philip, the president of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, looked at the sudden change, immediately pulled out his weapon, swung his sword, and burst into a sword light, forcing the two purple dragon guards who rushed back.
Immediately afterwards, he activated the teleportation spell on the ring without hesitation, and accompanied by the magical aura, he seemed to be about to break through.
However, just as he was about to disappear, a war mage in a purple cloak reached out and a lightning whip jumping with lightning caught Philip's naked feet.
The war mage pulled hard, and waves of electric lightning surged out. Philip exclaimed, his body spasmed and trembled, losing balance, and fell to the ground on his back.
Alec took the opportunity to attack in front of him. His first sword cut off Philip's right wrist that subconsciously raised his resistance, and the second sword cleaves him from his shoulder to his sternum.
Philip wailed and died on the spot.
"Inhibition his soul." Brian, who watched coldly from beginning to end, gave an order.
When meeting with the war mage, he noticed that among these spellcasters there was a war mage who was proficient in the Necrotic School.
To imprison a soul, for the wizard of the Necrotic School, is as simple as eating and drinking water.
Hearing Brian's instructions, Marek, the captain of the war mage, gave a wink at a war mage who was proficient in the Necrotic School behind him.
The latter immediately took out a gray gem, murmured a spell, and reached out to finger.
A nearly invisible gray soul was forcibly pulled out of the corpse and roared into the war mage's gem.
Brian took the gem, nodded slightly, and put it away.
From this efficient battle, we can see how strong the execution of these people is.
This made him very satisfied. After all, what he liked the most was this kind of army that obeyed discipline and was powerful, which was easy to dispatch and was also worry-free.
The reason why he chose to detain the soul of the president of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce was mainly to confirm one thing.
If he had expected it was not bad, Prince Selante had already begun to contact the believers of the tyranny god Bann.
Therefore, he was curious whether Philip, who was Prince Selante's confidant, knew about this.
If he really knew, he could use some means to force him out, and then use this as evidence to remind Duke Raul of Arab City to be prepared in advance.
In this way, the Kingdom of Cormier might be able to avoid the capture of the imperial capital Susar by the pseudo-king Sailant after the Demon Dragon Rebellion, and become a split kingdom.
As a rebirth, Brian naturally did not want the Cormier Kingdom to suffer the same fate again.
After all, since he returned to the surface from the dark area, he has been receiving the favors of Cormier, without the purple dragon seal ring that Shisiah gave him and the trust in him.
Not to mention that he could not occupy Mokou Town, even Duke Raul of Arab City could not be so easy to get in touch, let alone gain the support and allegiance of the Purple Dragon Knight and the War Mage.
If his power truly grows, Cormier will become his helper and cooperative ally in conquering the Enoak Desert.
Although he knew that the Dragon Worshipers were studying Dragon Crazy Locks in the Sunset Mountains, he still had self-knowledge and knew very well that with his current abilities, it would be best not to provoke or influence these cultists.
The reason why the current situation in mainland China seems to be calm is mainly due to the checks and balances between various forces.
If he intentionally or unintentionally reveals the conspiracy about the Dragon Belief Sect, many forces from the kind camp may very likely flock to it.
In this case, the balance of mutual restraint may be broken, resulting in the future timeline completely exceeding his expectations and an unknown accident and disaster occur.
For Brian, he has solved the biggest hidden danger in Mokou Town at the moment.
