Treasurer Paul's decree was promulgated the next day. Although the nobles in the city of Heim were extremely reluctant, they accepted the order to increase taxes.
The three owls flew to the other three main cities of the Principality of Cambay, but one of them almost died of exhaustion on the way. In the end, it landed on a branch and rolled its eyes in a very humane manner.
"Look! Another mercenary group has appeared. Can this goblin telescope be clearer? It's really incompetent."
"It's so beautiful, especially the leading female warrior. She looks bloated with an extra piece of flesh, and looks hungry and thin if she lacks a piece of flesh. I believe in the gods now, because they are the darlings of the gods."
Cuckoo! Fallen leaves rustled, and one even covered the goblin telescope. Seeing this, the two untied the letter in half-interest, and disappeared on the back of the hill.
The mark of the evil tiger was bright red, and the fire paint that sealed the seal seemed to have not yet solidified, and it continued to emit wisps of burnt smell. The two daggers were thrown to the side, the man looked at them carefully, and then frowned slightly.
"It's Helm City's conscription order again. Lord Dominic is really obsessed with war."
The letter broke into countless scraps of paper and disappeared under the breeze. The back of the mountain became quiet and leisurely for an instant, and the two sat there, staring blankly at the blue sky.
The first man to catch the owl is named Diego. He is the lord of Sirion City among the four main cities in the Principality of Cambay. The knight of glory with two swords is only one step away from the peak.
Like Grand Duke Dominic, he is the only son who inherited his father's noble title. But the difference is that he cares more about his professional status than Dominic.
The city of Sirion is located in the northern part of the Blood Plains, but Diego often secretly goes to the border of the principality to have a drink with his friends.
As for things such as "conscription orders", he left them all to the adjutant, and it seemed that everything in the city of Sirion had nothing to do with him.
And everyone who is familiar with Diego knows that he is a bit weird, or vulgar. He likes beautiful women and prefers to judge beautiful women, but his face is so thin that it is almost transparent.
This is also the reason why he does not want to stay in Sirion for a long time, because all the nobles there, and even many poor people, know that he is very thin-skinned and will often make fun of him.
"Another conscription? Who will cultivate the land? Who will herd the cattle and sheep? Who will transport the ore? Who will cook the food?"
"If Sir Dominic wants to replace Fernando, he will simply attack the city of Augu. This year, no one is allowed to live!"
"Nowadays, the number of young people in the four main cities has dropped sharply. Some of them have escaped from the Principality of Cambay, and some would rather become servants of the nobles than join the principality's army."
"Ten years, if Lord Dominic cannot achieve anything within ten years, then the good days of the Principality of Cambay will be over."
The old friend on the side snorted coldly, and then drank some ale. This person's name was Margera. He was the garrison of the Principality of Cambay and the barren mountains on the border, and he was also a centaur warrior.
More than ten years ago, while traveling on the ancient continent, he was unfortunately injured and eventually escaped into this barren mountain. Diego arrived by chance and did not hesitate to spend countless precious magic potions to finally revive the dying man.
Him.
From that day on, Margera stayed in the Principality of Cambay, or stayed with Diego. Although the two had no blood relationship or even different races, they became a pair of good brothers who were intertwined in life and death.
.
But perhaps because of his status as a foreigner, although Margera has the strength of a swordsman, he can only garrison in the barren mountains on the border. Fortunately, the sky is high and the distance is far away, so his little life can be considered enjoyable.
And like Diego, he also likes to "appreciate beauties", especially female professionals from the Principality of Floy. The two of them often lie here together, with their hair cut, while commenting on the beauties passing by. p>
But he is not a fool. What the "Conscription Order" represents is not only the will of Heim City, but also the development direction of Archduke Dominic.
That's why he sneered at it, and was even extremely resistant to it. In the Principality of Cambay, he was an alien, but in his eyes, the Principality of Cambay was not a foreign land.
"How about you go to Udun City with me? You are alone anyway, so your life will be different somewhere else. What's more, our beauties from the orc tribe are top-notch!"
"You have done your best. You have guarded the city of Sirion for so many years. Although you have no merit, you have made Cambay safe and sound."
Margera blew out two smoke rings and then spoke in an understatement. He repeated these words countless times, but he, an old friend, remained indifferent.
Although he has no complaints against Dominic, he is also very puzzled by the "recruitment order" that comes as scheduled every year. As an orc, in his heart, warriors come voluntarily and are not forced.
And he also has plans to leave the ancient continent. He misses the smell of green grass in the golden plains, misses the smoke of the Hetula tribe, and misses his partners even more.
"I am a glorious knight of the Principality of Cambay. The word 'glory' proves my loyalty, and the 'knight code' guides my direction."
"If you want to travel around, at least I won't trouble you. But if this happens, you will never be able to set foot in the Principality of Cambay again."
Diego was stroking the goblin telescope and drinking ale. He had already known about his old friend's decision, so there was no surprise.
Although he criticized the "Conscription Order", Diego could not throw away and leave. This was his bottom line as a glorious knight.
"Have you drunk the 'Knight Code'? Are you considered a knight?"
"In my impression, there is no knight who is so miserable. When he sees a beautiful woman, he becomes fascinated and even spits blood from his nose."
"Diego, I may have to leave before the next dark rainy night. As a friend, I still sincerely invite you to the Golden Plains."
"I will wait for your figure among the green grass and blue sky. I hope that you have become the pinnacle of power, and so am I."
Margera sighed, then grabbed the wine bag and drank the few remaining ales. Diego grinned when he saw this, and then poked his head out of the back of the mountain again.
The goblin telescope reflected the sunlight, and the two of them whispered while looking forward to the mercenary group of the Principality of Floy passing by again.
"Look! It's coming! The leader should be a middle-level knight, the woman with a small birthmark on the root of her thigh!"
Margera slapped the ground suddenly, and then dust flew everywhere, and fine cracks appeared out of thin air. He stared with eyes wide and said with a stupid look on his face.
"You are really a pervert! You can even see the birthmarks in those places. Have you been observing those places from beginning to end?"
"Can you have some taste, temperament is the most important thing, temperament! Do you understand!"
"Oh, she bent over! So white, so white and tender!"
Diego, the Knight of Glory, was only halfway through his words, but his true colors were already revealed. He was crying while constantly adjusting the focus of the goblin telescope.
