History is a wonderful thing that can add value to almost anything that can stand the test of time.
For example, this crystal goblet from the High Elf Dynasty is not particularly outstanding in its workmanship, but its thousands of years of history have made it valuable.
And it is holding local red wine, which is also a famous wine with a history of more than 80 years.
The hand holding the wine glass was pale and slender. Upper-class aristocratic men all wished to have such a noble and elegant complexion. The huge emerald ring on the ring finger made the hand even more sickly pale.
The owner of the hand is a tall and thin aristocratic man. He looks about thirty years old and is very handsome. He has a carefully trimmed mustache on his lips. He has a slender figure but broad shoulders. He wears a style
The fashionable black dress is elegant and majestic. The jadeite inlaid on the cufflinks complements the huge ring on the finger.
He was twirling his beard with one hand, looking at the huge administrative map in front of him, and was deep in thought.
After a long time, he raised his head and asked a knight leader next to him who had just dealt with Ilosu: "You mean these mercenaries carry a large number of artworks and weapons from the high elf era? You didn't see it.
Wrong?"
It’s no wonder that this nobleman thought so. First of all, it was impossible for artworks from the High Elf Era to be produced in large quantities.
Another thing is that this knight leader usually violates laws and disciplines and intercepts and kills caravans a lot. This time, he is not interested in the wealth of the caravan. It's just a trick. More than a hundred knights in their squadron are...
I made sure to take action and reported to him.
"Lord Julius, I read it right. Although I don't understand art, the style of art carried by that golden group is very consistent with the high elf art that you have always admired so much!"
The knight leader quickly explained that he did not want the city lord to think that he was too selfish and used a borrowed knife to kill people.
"You mean, they crossed over from the Central Mountains and arrived at the Crimson Principality through ancient tunnels that have long been abandoned?"
"Yes, that's what they said, and it's true watching his movements."
Julius nodded and said, "Are you sure they entered Tirisfal?"
"Yes, sir, since they are coming from the Xirel Empire, they must not have a pass for the Crimson Principality. If they do not go to the city to apply for it, it will not be easy for them to go deep into the hinterland of the principality. They will definitely enter the city.
"The knight leader said with certainty.
Julius thought for a moment and said, "How strong are they?"
"The strongest warrior is around the gold level, the others are generally at the bronze level, and a few are at the silver level, about thirty of them."
Julius pondered, and drew repeatedly on the administrative map with his hand for a long time, and finally clicked on an area:
"Send light cavalry to conduct reconnaissance. If they don't enter the city, we will annihilate them here and call them bandits to the outside world. If they enter the city, we will ambush at the city gate and ask the Archmage of Delaware to join the action. Remember
, no one should be left out, all must be eradicated!"
The knight leader responded to the order with a look of pride in his eyes.
After the knight leader took the order and left, Baron Julius began to sip this glass of mellow red wine that was more than eighty years old.
The red wine in the crystal cup slowly began to ripple, and the dark red ripples became more and more intense. Finally, a drop flew out of the crystal cup, and happened to land on the icon representing the city of Tirisfal on the administrative map, and quickly spread into it.
On paper.
The spreading dark red flower looked like a stain of fresh blood at first glance.
Baron Julius trembled and fell into silence. He had an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.
The small town of Tirisfal has a small population. Although it was extremely prosperous in ancient times as it was located at the hub of the main road connecting the East and the West, today, as the ancient tunnels have been abandoned for nearly a thousand years, Tirisfal has gradually become dilapidated and has become
It became an ordinary border town.
As the lord of Tirisfal, Baron Julius was originally a commoner, but he was extremely quick-witted. After running away from home, he disguised himself as a wandering son of an ancient family.
Later, with his handsome face and sweet mouth, he deceived countless noble women and made his first pot of gold.
After spending fifteen gold coins, I came up with a set of certification documents that even heraldry genealogy experts couldn't identify.
In this way, Julius, a run-down nobleman with a complex and noble family tree, an ancient exotic royal bloodline, and a non-existent fiefdom, was born out of thin air.
In this way, it didn't take long for Julius to meet Winnie, the only daughter of Marquis Patrick of the Crimson Principality, and marry her. With the help of the power of Marquis Patrick's family, he entered the upper class society of the Crimson Principality.
Later, in order to increase his experience in promotion, Julius, with the help of his father-in-law, Marquis Patrick, came to the small town of Tirisfal to become the lord of the city, and was granted the title of baron by the way.
This is Julius's second year in Tirisfal. If he works for another year, he will be transferred back to Tiffany, the administrative center of the Crimson Principality.
During the two years in Tirisfal, Julius had basically no money to make. The caravans he occasionally intercepted were small caravans, and there was no money to speak of at all.
This time, I heard from the knight leader that the mercenary group that came was carrying a large amount of ancient high elves' artworks. How could he be displeased?
I am very knowledgeable about art. Once I deal with this group of despicable mercenaries, I can keep most of the items privately and use the rest to organize and honor my marquis father-in-law.
Thinking of this, the palpitations and uneasiness deep in Baron Julius's heart were overwhelmed by greed.
The next day, Qingqi came to report that the group of Golden Company mercenaries were already heading towards Tirisfal.
After receiving the information, Baron Julius stood at the top of the city. What he held in his hand was no longer a crystal cup, but the hilt of a sword. However, his gorgeous dark black dress looked different from the clanking iron armor of the surrounding soldiers.
Out of place.
He looked up at the sky.
Originally, Tirisfal should have ushered in another sunny morning.
However, a thick cloud in the distant sky swept in at an incredible speed and projected onto the earth. There was a clear line between shadow and light.
This dividing line between light and darkness quickly swept across the land, driving all sunlight and warmth away from the city of Tirisfal, and seemed to drive all hope out of the city.
However, no one cared about it. Baron Julius had already arranged everything. Thousands of troops in the city had been deployed at the city gate. At the same time, there was a group of light cavalry roaming outside the city, giving the prey the last chance to escape.
extinguish.
What's more, there is a gold-level magician and his two silver-level students here, so those despicable mercenaries cannot escape this dragnet.
So what about the Golden Group!
So what about the leader in the mercenary world!
Aren’t they all destroyed in Tirisfal today?
Baron Julius suddenly felt energetic.
However, for the time being, he had to suppress his surging heart and wait quietly for the arrival of this group of mercenaries.
After a while, everyone arrived at the gate of Tirisfal.
Everyone immediately felt that something was wrong. It was too quiet at the city gate, and it was a bit scary.
Although you can see the streets inside the city gate and the houses on both sides, there is no sign of human activity.
Elos opened his sensory tentacles and discovered nearly a thousand soldiers ambushing the city gate, including three magicians.
"Katya, it seems that I underestimated the dangers of people's hearts. I thought that the knights outside were not sure of taking action, but we would be safe when we came to the city. I didn't expect that the world is as dark as crows. It seems that the city lord also wants us.
Wealth. They have been waiting for us to enter the city."
Elos sighed to Ekaterina.
"I really didn't expect that the laws and regulations in the Crimson Principality are so poor. I thought this free country was inclusive of everything, but I didn't expect that it was a little too liberal. Even the city lord dared to intercept and kill the caravan blatantly. It seems that this has happened before
They did a lot of work!”
Ekaterina looked frosty. No chief executive in Alplekes would dare to do this kind of robbery, at least not openly.
"Originally, I just wanted to get the pass documents and leave the Crimson Principality in a low-key manner, but now it seems that the matter cannot be resolved. The hands of this dog city lord are stained with the blood of many caravans and innocent civilians. Today,
I’m the one who’s here to get rid of this scourge for Grand Duke Maria of the Crimson Principality!”
