Mayor Marco is used to being strong in the town.
He always speaks the truth in the town hall, and few people dare to be so rude to him.
Especially the commander of the Langdon Legion Cavalry Battalion, he has never had any conflict with Mayor Marco since he came to Dodan Town. Therefore, Mayor Marco feels that all the cavalry battalion commanders in the Legion are so easy to talk to.
Usually in Duodan Town, they usually patrol the border and attack the indigenous tribes along the border.
As a local dignitary who has taken root in Dodan Town and is the town's top governor, Mayor Marco did not take the new cavalry battalion commander of the Luther Army in his eyes from the beginning. He was used to
I thought that Suldak, like the commander of the Langdon Legion Cavalry Battalion, would keep a low profile in front of the local government. After all, Mayor Marco also had to make financial allocations to the Cavalry Battalion from the town to ensure the daily expenses of the Cavalry Regiment.
.
Perhaps because of this, the commander of the Langdon Legion Cavalry Battalion always seemed to have no confidence in front of Mayor Marco, and even handed over the military power of the city defense guard to the town for management.
Now Suldak suddenly stood up and asked Mayor Marco for the military power of the city defense guard. According to normal procedures, this is understandable. Even if the lawsuit is brought to the Wilkes City Council, no one will accuse Suldak.
Duck.
On the contrary, Mayor Marco will inevitably be asked by the council to report on his duties in Wilkes City.
A round trip from Dodan Town to Wilkes City will take more than half a month if the horseback riding goes smoothly, and Mayor Marco knows that the congressman behind him will not stand because of such an unreasonable trivial matter.
If you come out to speak for him, people may think that he is ignorant and extend his hand to the military.
Although he could usually gain a lot of benefits by controlling the city defense team, and it would be extremely convenient for the slave-catching groups he secretly supported to enter and exit the town, but now he had no reason to control the city defense team.
"What are you doing standing at the door? It's so slow to make two cups of tea!" Mayor Marco, who had nowhere to vent his anger, scolded Mrs. Luna, who was holding a tea tray and standing at the door unable to move forward or retreat.
Mrs. Luna quickly lowered her head and placed two cups of black tea on the coffee table in the rest area.
Mayor Marco was a little calmer at this time. Although he was destined to hand over the military power of the city defense brigade, he did not want to be obtained by Suldak so easily.
Thinking of this, the anger and depression in Mayor Marco's heart were relieved a lot. He motioned for Suldak to sit down and said calmly:
"I will go to the City Defense Guards later to conduct a material inventory and check the personnel list of the City Defense Guards Brigade. From now on, the City Defense Guards Brigade will have to be managed by Commander Raosuldak. They are usually responsible for guarding the northern city wall of Dodan Town.
, this is the north gate of our occupation area of the Bailin plane, and the north wall of Duodan Town that can be defended is crucial to the situation of the Bailin plane."
"The city defense guard in Duodan Town has always been under the jurisdiction of the town. The main reason is that we don't want to separate finance and government affairs. Since you want to take back the military power of the city defense guard, that would be perfect. However, the finance here in the town has always been reluctant.
"Maintain, now that we can get rid of such a big burden of the city defense guard, that would be great."
Of course, Mayor Marco is not willing to pay another penny for the city defense brigade. Suldak will allocate part of the supplies from the garrison to the city defense brigade. Now that I think about it, this is probably the commander of the Langdon Corps.
The main reason why officials were reluctant to take over the city defense brigade.
Surdak did not want to hand over the management of the north gate of Dodan Town to others, so he said:
"Then I will go back to the military camp and wait for news from you. If you are ready, you can send someone to find me at the military camp at any time."
After saying that, he turned around and left the mayor's office without drinking the steaming cup of black tea.
Mayor Marco stood in front of the window, watching Suldak stride out of the town hall, mount an ancient Bolai horse, and slowly walk out of the long street. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and he was so angry that he threw away the tea cup in his hand.
It hit the oak floor hard.
…
Yesterday, Suldak ran to the town square and stopped Mayor Marco from being executed in a very forceful manner, which greatly reduced his prestige in front of the town residents.
Today he came to the town hall again and directly asked for the military power of the city defense brigade. He didn't care at all how ugly Mayor Marco looked at that time. This scene happened to be seen by several town officials passing by the mayor's office.
Before noon, the news that such a powerful garrison commander had arrived in the town quickly spread throughout the town hall.
Mayor Marco was unwilling to hand over power and went directly to the city defense brigade to arrange backup. Nowadays, several important positions in the city defense brigade are almost all close associates of Mayor Marco. The material warehouse of the city defense brigade is like
Mayor Marco's private warehouse. For the convenience of storage and withdrawal, the slave traders under Mayor Marco store the materials they snatched from the forest in this warehouse.
These include some shady adventure group armors and weapons, and of course some Warcraft materials. In addition to the plane's native slaves, there is almost everything in the warehouse, most of which are valuable things. These are
The wealth that Mayor Marco has accumulated in Dodan Town in the past few years.
At this time, we need to quickly take inventory. Mayor Marco doesn't want to give all the property he has saved over the years to Surdak in vain.
Hans, the captain of the city defense brigade, was personally promoted by Mayor Marco. Hans’s biological sister was the third wife of Mayor Marco. Among the many wives and brothers of Mayor Marco, Hans was regarded as the most important.
The most outstanding one, who had at least become a knight and had some military talent, was promoted by Mayor Marco to the position of captain of the city defense brigade.
Captain Hans did not expect that Commander Suldak, who seemed to have no temper, would take back the military power of the city defense brigade without saying a word.
Mayor Marco was sitting in the office of the city defense brigade, with captain Hans standing aside with his hands hanging down.
Mayor Marco said: "Let your clerk who is responsible for registering the warehouse material accounts make a new account. We must transfer these materials before handing over the city defense brigade."
"Besides these, what else should we do?" Captain Hans asked cautiously.
Mayor Marco rubbed his brows with his hands, turned to look at the warehouse under the city wall, and said: "I arranged a team of four-wheel trucks, found some trustworthy people, and used these nights to transport these things out overnight.
.”
"All the supplies?" Captain Hans asked.
Mayor Marco said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's all, just don't forget to balance the accounts."
When he thought that the large amount of war reserve materials in the warehouse would be transported away by Mayor Marco, Captain Hans was a little panicked. He quickly walked to Mayor Marco and asked in a low voice: "Then what should I do in the future?
"
What Mayor Marco hates most about Hans is that it’s hard to stay calm when things happen. He said in a deep voice:
"What else can you do? Of course, keep your tail between your legs and don't let people find excuses to take you out of the city defense brigade. As long as you can control the third leg and don't make any major mistakes in the management of the city defense brigade, I still
I can protect you."
At this time there was a knock on the door.
Captain Hans said in a deep voice: "Come in..."
The guard stood at the door and reported: "The tax collector would like to see the mayor."
"Let him in..."
Mayor Marco sat behind his desk and ordered calmly.
…
Suldak is not in a hurry to take back the management rights of the city defense brigade on this day.
After leaving the town hall, he was not in a hurry to find Selena. They were going to purchase daily necessities in the town, and they probably wouldn't be able to get everything done so quickly.
Suldak wanted to check out information about Invercargill's Warcraft Forest and the Beast Tide.
There was no library in the town, but he found a magic grocery store. The grocery store was not big, but through the only glass window, he could see the bookshelves inside, which contained a row of quaint books.
It can't be some precious magic book.
Surdak just wanted to learn about some of the higher-level monsters lurking deep in the Invercargill monster forest through some local travel notes and gossip.
Walking into the grocery store, there was an old man sitting at the counter at the entrance of the store who was copying the magic scroll patterns. In the corner of the grocery store against the wall and window, there were less than half a bookshelf of books. In addition, this
There are also some magic scrolls, metal rune tablets, magic ink and magic engraving pens in the bookstore.
When Suldak walked into the grocery store, the store owner did not greet him and allowed him to walk around the store casually.
Standing next to the bookshelf, Surdak found a biography of a ranger and flipped through a few pages. Most of the pages were about how many heads of high-level monsters and beautiful girls the ranger captured during his travels around the world.
's heart.
It took a lot of effort to find the chapter about the Invercargill Warcraft Forest. Unfortunately, the ranger did not seem to record this Warcraft Forest in a large space. He only said that he chased a ghost leopard into the depths of the forest and found it deep in the forest.
Hippogryph's lair.
He wanted to steal a hippogryph egg, but unfortunately he was discovered by the alert hippogryph, and he escaped from the Invercargill Warcraft Forest with the hippogryph chasing him.
Suldak did not expect that there would be such a third-level flying monster in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, but there is no trace of the hippogryph in Bena Province. This rare monster is likely to be found in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest.
The edges are also extinct.
When it was almost noon, Suldak ran to the rental house and had lunch with Selena, Signa and Nika at a small restaurant on the street.
Selena said that she told Suldak during the meal: The owner of the tailor shop must have known that the garrison commander rented his small building. In the morning, he personally ran to the small building holding two exquisite vases and asked her in secret.
Selena offered to halve the rent, but Selena refused.
Suldak rubbed his nose and said self-deprecatingly to Selina: "Why do you think he thinks I am the kind of person who can't pay the rent? No matter what, I am at least a noble lord with a private army...
"
Selina covered her mouth and laughed and said: "It's not like you noble lords are used to exploiting the small town residents. If they don't come over and actively give some gifts, you 'big shots' will cause trouble for them!"
This restaurant was very small, and there were not many customers even at noon, so Selena dared to mock Suldak so brazenly.
When she was a girl, she was a maid at Hoyle Manor and knew a lot of dirty things among nobles.
There were bursts of horse bells outside the window, and four-wheeled carriages made a "squeaking" sound as they passed by. Only when these four-wheeled carriages are heavily loaded will the lubricating oil on the bearings lose their effectiveness and emit a "squeaking" sound.
Such a harsh sound.
Surdak couldn't help but look out the window. Four-wheeled carriages passed one after another on the street, almost all of them loaded with goods.
He remembered that these carriages were parked at the trading house in the morning, but he did not expect that by this time they were loaded with goods and were preparing to leave Dodan Town.
Recently, the adventure group has been unable to enter the Invercargill Warcraft Forest to hunt, but the trading group can still collect so many supplies.
After waiting for a while, the convoys passed by one after another.
You don't need to guess to know that probably in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the business bank is transferring materials.
Of course, it is unknown whether this was affected by the incident of the bandit group's robbery of the slave-catching group.
But before the convoy left Suldak's sight, a group of guards wearing hard leather armor hurriedly chased after them. They held fine spears in their hands and quickly surrounded the convoy.
live.
The convoy of the merchant group was forced to stop, and the coachmen did not panic much. They just parked the four-wheeled carriage slowly on the street and accepted inspection by the guards.
An armed group wearing leather suits, alloy bows and long swords, led by two knights, rushed here quickly. The two sides faced off almost without saying a word. Although the atmosphere was a bit tense, it could be seen that
Neither side was ready to take action.
Suldak and Selena sat near the window of the small restaurant, where they could just sit and watch the excitement.
Some small town residents passing by on the street also stopped and stood on the street to watch curiously.
A series of hoofbeats sounded in the distance, and Captain Hans of the city defense brigade was seen riding an ancient horse to the scene. Before he could dismount, a person in charge of the convoy came out of the convoy in gorgeous clothes.
.
He frowned and looked up at Captain Hans...
There was still a considerable distance between them through the glass window, and Suldak couldn't hear what they were talking about.
The caravan leader and Captain Hans didn't talk for long before a group of city guards began to search the four-wheeled trucks. Some supplies on the trucks were also unloaded from the carriages and unpacked for inspection.
The city defense guards left the street in a mess and left the street under the leadership of Captain Hans.
