Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 87 The Ritter Family's Disappointment

Only when he saw the castle from a distance, Charles realized the magnificence of Pella City and the strength of the Aquinax family.

The city of Pella, located near the main trunk of the Naha River, has a population of more than 5. The city is built along the Naha River, and the narrow city is like a resting behemoth quietly crawling between the water and the sky. The 20-meter-high city wall winds around and protects the safety of the residents in the city.

The city of Pella has four gates in the east, west, north and south, including two water gates in the north and south.The Naha River runs through the city, dividing the city in two.If the two water gates are wide open, you can take a small boat along the river and enjoy the scenery of the entire city of Pella.But the enemy thought that the water gate was a weak point, and if they wanted to attack through the water gate, the built inner wall and countless caves for hiding soldiers would be a nightmare for the enemy.

Outside the city of Pella is a wide plain. On the endless fertile land, there are large farmlands, and there are canals extending from the Naha River everywhere. This complex water system network ensures the food security of Pella city. .

And inside the city of Pella, there is a hill where the world-famous Aquina Castle is located.This majestic and huge complex can easily accommodate thousands of soldiers.

A castle is a sharp weapon for defense, and the practical Aquinacos family naturally gave full play to this feature of the castle.The castle is a composite military fortress design of a castle within a castle.

There are tall circular towers all around, and there are twin towers protruding from the front of the city wall everywhere. There are three gates on the outer city wall alone.The shooting platform is extended from the tower, and the city wall built up of granite is 30 meters high.There are also many arrangements inside that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

I heard from the eldest prince Andres that the construction of the castle was only successful with the military family of the Aquinacos family. In the end, the construction of the city wall even required the knights who had cultivated their fighting spirit to end in person.Countless serfs died during the construction of the castle. The construction of Pella City and Aquina Castle started from the beginning of the founding of the Principality, and it is only now that the old king has completed the final expansion and repairs to become what they are today.

Charles was secretly startled. He roughly estimated that if he wanted to attack the castle, it would be impossible without more than [-] soldiers. This was still based on the lack of soldiers defending the city.

The first challenge you need to face is the city of Pella. After entering the city of Pella, you will have the opportunity to attack the castle, and finally the strongest inner fort. Even if there are only a thousand soldiers guarding the inner fort, it will take at least tens of thousands of lives. to fill.If the city of Pella is fully prepared, it is estimated that only a [-] army can be sent to break through it, or else it will have to be besieged until the food in Pella city is exhausted.

The fact is indeed true, since the successful construction of Aquina Castle, there is no chance of being attacked. The 20-meter-high city wall of Pella City protects the safety of the residents and blocks the enemy's attacks time and time again.Counting the history of the Aquinax family, the number of times the enemy army was able to reach below the walls of Pella was extremely rare.

In front of this majestic city, Charles and the others were like ants, and they finally arrived at the east gate of Pella City.The gate several meters high was dark black, and a long queue had already formed outside the gate.Naturally, Charles and his group didn't need to line up, after all, the eldest prince was among the group.

"Honorable Baron Norbert Little, why did you come to the city gate today to work as a gatekeeper? Could it be that Earl Bram Little can't wait to see this year's taxes?" said the eldest prince. Andres walked up to the city gate and joked with a smile.

At this time, Charles had a bad premonition in his heart. The Little family, he remembered that a member of Floyd Little died under his hands.Could it be that Baron Norbert is here to find fault.

Sure enough, a baron came here to work as a guard, of course he was not in a hurry. I saw that Baron Norbert didn't appreciate the smile of the eldest prince.

"Mr. Andres Aquinakes, as a prince, you should observe discipline even more. His Majesty the King himself said that Pella City treats everyone equally, and anyone can find the opportunity to realize their dreams in the Royal City." .As a member of the royal family, you should maintain the good environment in Peracheng, and Mr. Andres, the eldest prince, please don't jump in line."

The eldest prince Andres was stunned for a moment, then turned livid, and the smile on his face was gone. Although Andres was a good man, he was not a wimp. Baron Norbert seemed to be deliberately finding fault.

"What do you mean, Baron Norbert, don't I even have the right to enter the city of Pella? You are so brave, Norbert." Andres scolded with a livid face.

"Dear Mr. Andres, no one can deprive you of the right to enter the royal city, but the royal city treats every resident equally, so please don't jump in line.

If you insist on cutting the queue, please kill me and step over my dead body. The king gave me the title of baron because I brought enough benefits to the Duchy of Artem. If I can't do this, I would rather die. "

After finishing speaking, Norbert drew out the long sword in his hand, bent down, and handed it to the eldest prince with both hands.He was sure that the eldest prince Andres would not dare to make a move.

The eldest prince's face was ashen, and finally he waved his long sleeves and led the convoy back.In the last row.But these people who lined up were all free people and businessmen, who dared to get involved in the conflicts of the nobles and lords. When the eldest prince was in the back, everyone in front escaped cleanly.

A few minutes later, the eldest prince returned to the gate of the city. He looked at Norbert with a livid face, and said, "Can I enter this time, respected Baron Norbert."

"Of course, please let me check it carefully." Norbert replied with a smile on his face, then turned his head slightly, looked at Charles standing beside the prince, and snorted heavily.

Obviously, Baron Norbert was here for Shire, and the eldest prince, who was Shire's ally, was naturally also implicated.

But being the boss naturally has to stand up for the younger brother. Although the eldest prince is kind, if he was beaten face to face, it is impossible not to fight back.

"Will I bring something I shouldn't have to the royal city? Baron Norbert."

"Of course not. You are a respected prince. Naturally, you will not threaten your hometown, but some people may not. What's more, this is my duty. Please forgive me, Mr. Andres."

After all, Norbert waved his hand and signaled the guards at the door to search. These people moved cleanly. Obviously, these people were specially arranged by Norbert, and they would not wander back and forth between him and the prince.

The hands of the guards are fairly regular, and everything is done according to the rules. Norbert used the rules and laws to fight against the prince, and he would naturally not destroy it.After the guards searched, they walked up to Norbert and said, "Master Baron, there is nothing prohibited in the convoy."

Norbert nodded, and then continued with an undiminished smile: "Have you searched the carriage?"

"My lord, not yet, the carriage is full of female relatives, brothers dare not do anything." The guard replied respectfully.

Norbert looked at the eldest prince, and said respectfully: "I would like to ask you to show your respect, eldest prince. I can't help it. Everything is done according to the rules."

After speaking, under the signal of Norbert, the guards walked towards the carriage again, and the first one was the carriage where Fina and Kitty were.

Charles couldn't hold back his suppressed anger for a long time. It seems that their choice was not groundless, and they went there with the most luxurious carriage, and their purpose was very clear.First, give Charles a bad start, let him make a fool of himself, and become a joke among the nobles.

Just as the eldest prince was thinking, the guards had already touched the carriage and were about to lift the curtain with their hands.Les and Rao, who were standing aside, had the same livid faces, and the veins on their bruised hands were bulging.

Fina and Kitty, who were sitting in the carriage, also felt humiliated and helpless.Unlike showing up at the banquet, if the guards at the gate of the carriage lifted the curtain, they would undoubtedly become the laughing stock of the entire Atum Principality, no, the Glory Continent.Their eyes were fixed on the curtain, as if they were waiting for the decision of fate.

The guard's hand had already touched the door curtain, and just as the door curtain was about to be lifted, the horse whip flashed quickly, with a crackling sound, and the tip of the whip had already exceeded the speed of sound.The horsewhip came fiercely, and it was whipped to the guard's hand with a crackling sound.

"Ah! My hand." The guard rolled on the ground, his left hand supported his right hand which was already at 90 degrees, and he screamed continuously. "My hand is broken!"

Charles put away his whip, sat on his horse with his head held high, and said, "Who dares to move your dog's paws?"

Norbert felt it was a pity in his heart, if the guard's hand was quicker, the curtain could be opened.Afterwards, you can spread rumors at will. Unfortunately, Baron Shire's reputation was almost discredited. Of course, this also includes the eldest prince. However, the second prince has already won the victory. Whether the eldest prince can survive is still a question. Lord Mu Little's orders come above all else.

Norbert pretended to be very surprised, and asked: "This is the Baron Charles. If you don't know it, you think it's the eldest prince. The eldest prince didn't even give an order. Why are you so anxious? Is there really something shady in the carriage? Better be clear, Monsieur Charles."

"Hahaha, I've never heard of a prince who needs to inspect his female relatives when he returns to the royal city. Since Baron Norbert wants to set this precedent, there can be no price.

I bet you with my head, if there is something shady in it, my head will fall to the ground on the spot, if not, then don't even want your head. "

Listening to the threatening words, Norbert didn't care. He raised his head and looked up at Charles who was sitting on the horse.Norbert's yin and yang words reached his lips and swallowed them again.There were large dark red bloodstains on Charles's bright silver armor. He held the tip of the gun in his right hand, and the sharp cold light pointed directly at his throat. The most terrifying thing was his eyes.

Norbert had an indescribable feeling. He felt that the spear would fall at any moment. If he really opened his mouth, he would really die.If there are veterans who have been on the battlefield here, they will definitely say that this is murderous aura, something that can only be found after killing people on the battlefield.

Norbert stood there unnaturally, and sweat began to emerge on his forehead. Under Charles's intense gaze, one can imagine the pressure on Norbert.

In the end Norbert swallowed his anger, with an awkward smile on his face, and said: "This is also a routine for me, you go in."

"Hmph, a dog's eyes look down on people, just like Freud, an idiot who can't see clearly." Charles rode a tall horse and rode in first.

Since the Little family did not hesitate to send a baron as a guard to disgust him, then don't blame him for being unkind.Naturally, he has already been offended to death, so there is no need to hold back.

Fina and Kitty in the carriage let out a long sigh of relief, especially Kitty. These days, Fina has been talking about Charles in her ears, and when the two of them are alone, Fina even tells her in detail. Everything that happened made Kitty's face blush.But seeing is believing, hearing Charles' domineering voice, Kitty involuntarily clamped her legs.She thought to herself, this is what a man should look like, but what a pity, alas!
After the Grand Prince's convoy had completely entered, only Baron Norbert with a livid face was left standing in place with a few guards in a daze. Only the scream of the guard rolling on the ground was telling what happened just now. .

"What are you looking at, why don't you take him to see a doctor quickly, what a bunch of trash, a bunch of idiots." Norbert scolded, since the eldest prince left, he naturally didn't have to put on that fake face.

The freemen and businessmen around him naturally stayed away. A baron's anger was still fatal to them, so they naturally wouldn't join in to make trouble at this time.But after they enter the city, this matter will be spread in Wangcheng vividly by them, and of course there will be some artistic processing.

At this moment, the eldest prince stepped forward, with a kind smile on his face again, "Thanks to you, Baron Charles."

"Your Highness is being polite. Your Highness is kind-hearted and doesn't bother to argue with him. It's just that Baron Norbert is shameless with a chicken feather as an arrow. Even if I don't make a move, His Highness's Knight Commander should do it."

Charles's heart skipped a beat, every time the eldest prince approached him, the divine stone would immediately give him a quick warning, telling him to leave this dangerous person quickly, obviously, the eldest prince is not as simple as it appears on the surface, naturally Charles dare not relax .

With a smile on his face, the eldest prince Andres introduced the specific situation of the royal city to him, as if nothing had happened.Under the introduction of the eldest prince, Charles also had some general understanding of Pella City.There are three squares in the royal city, Osdu Square on the west side of the Naha River, Timdo Square on the east side of the Naha River, and Kom Arena.

Ostow Square is a place for civilians, and it is also a purchasing market for daily necessities.In addition to the sale of various daily necessities such as pots and pans, there are also daily food sales such as grain, meat, wine, and vegetables.

Aiquina Castle is on the east side of the Naha River, and the rich and nobles naturally gather nearby, so the Timdo Square on the east side of the Naha River is mainly for the rich.It is the largest bazaar in the city of Pella.

There are many workshops and shops here, along the avenue, followed by the gold and silversmith area, which mainly sells gold and silver jewelry, and then the aromatic area, where you can buy selected meats, exquisite wines, aquatic products, vegetables, fruits, pastries , cheese, honey.A little further away is responsible for selling silk, leather, glassware, porcelain and other luxury accessories.In the farthest distance, there are blacksmith shops, which are the sales places of military equipment.

Kom Arena, as the name suggests, is a place to watch slaves fight.It includes, but is not limited to, gladiatorial fights between slaves, duels between slaves and beasts, and life-and-death duels between nobles and nobles to resolve conflicts.There is no morality here, and all applause is reserved for the victors only.
