Heroes of the Invincible Knight Chapter 82

The River Valley is located between the Northland and the Central Great Plain. It is the hub connecting the north and the south of the kingdom. Although the area is less than 50,000 square kilometers, it is quite rich.

There are more than fifty lords and millions of civilians living in the entire river valley.

In this productive environment, it is definitely a densely populated place.

Unlike the poor acid lords in the North, the nobles in the River Valley are all rich and rich, and almost every family has built a small town like Tiemucheng, not just a lonely castle.

The largest city in the valley is Bolai, which is located in the center of the valley. Bolai, located in the golden position of the valley, has a prosperity that is not inferior to that of the Golden Dragon.

The resident population is nearly two million, accounting for almost one-third of the population of the river valley.

With such a dense population, it is naturally impossible to rely on agriculture to support it. The industry and commerce of Burai is very developed. Merchants from south to north have provided Burle with a large number of jobs. Many landless farmers simply live in Burai, relying on Work for a living.

If the ruling model of the North is still dominated by feudal landlords and military aristocracy, then the river valley has entered the embryonic stage of capitalism.

If the development of Bolai is different from that of Richard's hometown in the 16th and 17th centuries, it is that there are powerful knights in the Golden Dragon Kingdom, and the mountains of the feudal nobles are more than ten times stronger.

Even if a certain class has mastered some means of production, it can still only be the money-making tool of these feudal nobles, and they can only live by their breath.

Since the river valley does not have a big noble like the Lanster family in the north, there is no leader in the entire river valley, and there is no lord family like Snow City in Bolai.

Bolai City was jointly built by the surrounding twelve lords. After years of development, it has grown into its current size. The decision-making body of the entire city is a council of twelve, and the twelve noble families who built the city each occupy a seat.

Under the parliament, there are daily management agencies such as the city hall, the police station, and the city guard, which are responsible for the twelve-member parliament.

There is only one special force in the city, and outside of this system, it is the river valley garrison army directly under the kingdom.

In principle, the entire army consists of 20,000 soldiers, and the army commander is directly appointed by the kingdom and is directly responsible to the capital, and has nothing to do with the river valley.

Of course, this kind of thing in principle can only be an ideal state. Although the commander of the army is directly appointed by the capital, the main soldiers are all from the river valley, and some materials and crops are also supported by the river valley. It is impossible for the kingdom to travel thousands of miles to transport food.

The legion commander will always have a relationship with the nobles of the river valley. This relationship has only one problem of depth.

At this time, in the council hall of Burleigh City, all twelve noble families were present, and thirteen people were sitting around the entire round table.

In addition to the twelve nobles who built the city, this extra person was Dane, the commander of the garrison legion sent by the kingdom to the river valley.

And this battle will only occur when Bolai City makes some important decisions, and it has not been seen once in a few years. At this time, the gathering of people is so neat, it is naturally a big event.

"Everyone knows about the Jingbei Army."

At the round table, a wealthy middle-aged man asked first, if it weren't for the fact that only nobles could sit on the round table, this man would be more like a wealthy businessman than a noble.

"It's been a few days since the Lanster family's request for help. I want to see what the attitude of each family is."

"Yo, doesn't he, Marquis Wade, look down on us aristocratic businessmen, does he want to beg us now?"

"Two words, no help!"

A man whose face was covered in powder and whose ten fingers were covered with rings of various colors of gemstones resolutely refused Beidi's request for help.

"What if the northern land can't stand it and the ogres rush to the river valley?"

"What are you afraid of? If the ogres want to enter the river valley, they will have to break the north gate. If it doesn't work, there is still the kingdom, and it will never be our turn to save the barbarians of the Lanster family."

"Then do you want to give it?"

"What to give? Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, even if they want food and grass, they can buy it with money."

"Yes, you can buy things with money and exchange them for things. There is no reason to give things in vain in the valley!"

"boom!"

When the nobles were discussing fiercely, a man with a big belly slammed the table, attracting everyone's attention.

"Enough! Have you lost your money!"

Everyone was taken aback by his roar, but someone immediately responded.

"Dane, what do you mean, you say that I can lose money, and you take less money on weekdays?"

This middle-aged man with a big belly was actually Dane, the commander of the River Valley Guard Corps.

It's hard to imagine that when he came to the river valley ten years ago to take up his post, he was a lively officer, and now he has raised a big belly.

In the past ten years, Dane's cultivation has not improved much, but he has gained a lot of weight, and his family has more than doubled.

"Supporting the Northern Land is an order from the capital, do you want to disobey?"

At this moment, Dane felt a trace of regret in his heart, why did he get on the pirate ship of this group of people?

I thought they were just greedy, but I didn't expect this group of people to be stupid. They lost their money and could not see the form.

After Dane's voice fell, the nobles who built the city finally quieted down.

"The kingdom's order is for the garrison to support the North, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Bullshit!"

"The military field of the garrison army has been in the field for so many years, but each of you vomited it out?"

As soon as Dane said that, the nobles on the opposite side stopped talking, and his family occupied a lot of fields for the garrison, all of which were fertile fields near Bolai City, how could they retreat.

The garrison was stationed in the river valley. Originally, the kingdom had demarcated a large field around Bolai to support the garrison of 20,000 people.

But I don't know from which year, the army field of the garrison has been occupied by the surrounding nobles, and there is no other industry at all except the station.

"Alright, alright, everyone isn't here to quarrel today,

The kingdom asked us to support the northern land this time, and also sent a high-ranking official from the capital to supervise it. We still have to figure out a way to deal with it earlier. "

The speaker was an old man in a brocade suit. Although his hair was gray, he seemed to be in good spirits.

"Mr. Sade is right, we're not sitting here today for quarrels. It's estimated that in a few days, the big man from the capital will arrive, so let's think about how to deal with it first.

At that time, as soon as the people came and pressed the garrison to the north, there were less than 5,000 people in the battalion holding 20,000 Jinnar each year, and the king would pursue it, and none of us could escape. "

"It's easy to handle, two full meals a day plus a few copper nars, as many people as you want, anyway, let's get this out of the way first.

If the troops are sent, Lord Dane will find a way to drag it. This can always be done. "

After hearing this, Dane nodded, finding reasons to delay for a while is always fine.

There is not enough food and grass, there are bandits in the river valley, and the garrison is insufficient.

The noble in the river valley is wearing a pair of trousers again. No matter what reason he finds, everyone can cooperate.

The strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snakes, and even if you are a dragon crossing the river from the capital, you have to be played around in this valley.

Thinking of this, Dane felt a lot more at ease.

"Do you know who sent the royal capital?"

"The Royal Capital didn't say anything, but only said that he brought the arrow with him, and he'll know when he arrives."

"It's mysterious, and I don't know which big man it is."

"Okay, let's just follow the arrangements just now, and hire some people to make up for the vacancies in the garrison corps in the next two days."

"It's nothing, everyone, let's go."

Everyone dispersed according to the words, only Dane was left alone until the end.

Why do I still have a feeling of trembling?
