Chapter 109 [Breaking a scoundrel]

Charia and Ruhr and his group entered the territory of the Byzantine Empire. After crossing the border, they first came to Denzel, a small town not far from the northern border. This is a small town with a permanent population of barely 10,000. However, because it is located on the border, the number of migrant populations is large all year round, and the public security is also chaotic. However, the trade on the border has brought a lot of vitality to the small town.

During this war with the Odin people, the temporary military headquarters of the war zone was located here.

Denzel is not too far from Wildfire Town, and it only takes two days to ride a horse. If you are fast, you can get there in one day and one night.

Although it is just a small city, it is more than twice the size of Wildfire Town. The wide and tall city walls show some of the military role of this border city. Once a war comes, the city can be transformed into a military fortress immediately. According to the Imperial Law, the city walls are built at the level of the military fortress, six meters wide, eleven meters high, and towers with angular bulges are set up at the four corners.

The first time the rustic bride came to Byzantium, and it was the first time that she saw such a big city, she couldn't help but have a little lack of eyes. Compared with Wildfire Town, although the prosperity here is obviously greater than that of the anarchic town, the guards of the city wearing infantry armor and baggage, as well as the Byzantine Empire imperial flags, military flags, and foreign flags flying on the city walls.

The buildings in the city are obviously much taller than Wildfire Town. After entering the city, the rustic guy almost didn't stop turning his neck and stared desperately around to sightsee.

Compared with Wildfire Town, it looks more civilized. People walking on the streets are slightly brighter and their service style is more obvious with Byzantine characteristics: most men wear long linen robes, and long boots are slightly raised with the tip of their boots. The robes that cut their waists to a narrowness can best reflect the strong physique of men. There are also some men with weapons on the streets, some people dressed in samurai, wearing cheap leather or iron breastplates, and wearing samurai badges. However, the number of such people is significantly less than that of Wildfire Town.

There are more shops on the roadside, more blacksmith shops, and more taverns. What makes Charya strange is that Byzantine women are obviously much more conservative than Wildfire Town. Most of the women who come and go with cloaks on their heads, which are to block the wind and also cover their faces, and their clothes are relatively conservative. Only some women who look more luxurious will wear silk robes and go to and from some garment shops or powder shops in silk robes.

Denzel City was occupied by the army, and soldiers dressed in military costumes could be seen everywhere in the city. Since the war was over, these soldiers seemed to have started to rest. Even a few drunk guys would stagger out from time to time in the tavern on the side of the road, which made Xia Ya frown when he saw it.

These guys with loose military discipline are absolutely unseen in the 13th Corps.

Not only is Denzel's city much larger than Wildfire Town, but the area around the city is also more diverse.

There are many small villages around the city, covering a large area of ​​arable land. Denzel is administratively owned by the Mor County in the northern part of the Empire, and Mor County is also a very important grain-producing area in the northern part of the Byzantine Empire. More importantly, it is still under the direct jurisdiction of the central government of the Empire and has not been included in the Tema Military Region. After all, this is a frontier. Although it produces grain and has oil and water for border trade, it is always the first to be threatened once it starts war with the Odins. Therefore, no one in the military department is willing to seize this land.

In a word... the so-called governors of the Tema Military Region have long become aristocratic and warlord...

The commander of the temporary military headquarters of the theater was General Clark from the Imperial Division. This guy was a firm supporter of the Tema Military Region system. His family owned a Tema Military Region in the southeast of the empire and had been passed down for two generations. At the same time, General Clark himself also held an important position in the Imperial Division.

But when Chara came to Denzel's temporary military headquarters with Ruhr, the Clark General did not show much hostility to Chara, although this country bumpkin caused a lot of trouble to the warlords in the military headquarters.

Clark almost used an extremely hasty attitude to perform a ceremony for Shaya to award the medal, stuffing a gold badge of courage into the hands of the Tuba, and even putting it on Shaya with his own hands according to the etiquette. Then he did not even perform a military salute, and hurriedly left behind with several adjutants - as if he was worried that staying by the Tuba for an extra minute would cause trouble.

The simplicity and sloppy ceremony of the medal awarding ceremony made Ruer feel a little overwhelmed.

"Damn, if you come to receive the award of the medal, that little white-faced Bonfret, this guy will definitely be a hundred times more enthusiastic, and will also invite the nobles and celebrities from the city to come and watch the ceremony, the guard of honor plays music, and the red carpet is directly placed at the gate... Your boy's award ceremony is probably the most hasty thing I have ever seen in my life."

Xia Ya seemed to care nothing. He was holding the gold badge, and the rustic guy was busy calculating how much this piece of gold is worth... Well, the weight is so heavy, it should be pure gold, right?

The people in the temporary military headquarters do not like Xia Ya, but Xia Ya doesn't care at all. Anyway, it's considered... on business trips with public funds, and all the itinerary, accommodation and food are paid for by the military headquarters.

The temporary military headquarters photographed a fat quarrel officer responsible for receiving them (Does the quarrel officers look fat? The rustic guy is very confused.)

Xia Ya simply opened her mouth for food and accommodation, lived in the best hotel in the city, and asked for the best food and wine. The other party agreed readily, and even the quarantine officer secretly stuffed Xia Ya a bag, which was heavy with twenty pieces of gold cakes the size of a palm! This piece is enough for an ordinary family to eat and wear for more than a year!

Then, a few high-quality war horses were pulled in front of Chara, and these good horses were all mounts provided by the military headquarters.

The temporary military headquarters only has one requirement: You kid, you will get out of here after eating and taking it!

At Ruhr's instruction, Chara simply knocked the rig and knocked away several sets of top-grade cavalry armor equipment. The soft armor made of high-quality mild steel produced in a famous mining area in the southern part of the Byzantine Empire was lightweight and had superior defense. On weekdays, only flag-level officers were qualified to be equipped - and they had to be the main battle flag regiment!

Seeing that his entourage was wearing such expensive soft armor, Xia Ya was finally satisfied. Ruhr next to him sighed: "Damn, I was only qualified to wear such armor after being confused for seven or eight years. You guy, even the entourage is so luxurious..."

Xia Ya rolled her eyes: "It seems you taught me the quarrel!"

The other party's attitude is very obvious: you can do anything, but please get out as soon as possible.

Xia Ya was not vague either. After getting enough benefits, she quickly slapped her butt and left.

When they left Denzel City, Chara's two entourages, Dodoro and Soit, rode on top of the war horses, wearing expensive soft armor, and even the saddles and stirrups on the horse were good things that only senior officers could enjoy.

Not to mention Xia Ya, he was wearing a set of knight armor worth at least hundreds of gold coins. This was a set of knight half-body armor, which was lightweight. Each armor leaf was made of refined mild steel, and only inlaid with thickened steel sheets at key parts, such as chest, back and shoulders. The shape of the armor is the most standard Imperial Knight appearance. Although wearing knight armor with Xia Ya's current identity is a kind of over-the-top system, he made great contributions this time, and it was a foregone conclusion that he had obtained a title.

A red war horse riding a horse was chosen by Ruer for him. According to Fatty, such a war horse could be firmly ranked among the top five even among the mounts of the thirteen generals of the empire.

Riding such a high-quality war horse, wearing knight's light armor, behind him was a bearskin cloak presented by the military headquarters, and the clothes of Dodoro and Soit were far more than those of ordinary flag commanders. If you don't know Xia's identity, you'd be afraid that anyone would think that the general of the corps would be traveling!

In contrast, Ruer, who was walking with Xia Ya, seemed to be Xia Ya's follower.

Originally, Shaya planned to knock on a good carriage to rush on the road, but Ruer refused.

This fat man actually told Xia Ya a sentence in a rare and serious tone.

"Soldiers, don't take a car!" The fat man said in a deep voice: "Soldiers who are greedy for enjoyment are no longer real soldiers! This is what my teacher, Duke Minas told me."

Although Moor County is not the Tema Military Region, the empire's peasant and soldiers system has been in progress for a hundred years. After leaving Denzel City, passing through some small villages along the way, you can still see some farmers wearing military soldiers serving, but carrying hoes and shovels to work in the farmland. Each village has an empty training ground, but the peasant and soldiers system has declined after all. It is obvious that the weapons in the hands of these peasant soldiers have already rusted, and one of the weeds in many places on the training ground is tall.

After leaving Denzel City, the fat man's mood was obviously a bit strange. He received the latest order in Denzel's War Zone Military Headquarters, asking him to arrive at the imperial capital Osgilia within fifteen days. At the same time, his commandership of the Sixth Corps was temporarily allowed to be the flag officer of the First Flag Regiment of the Corps to take charge. In addition, Ruhr was also asked to go to the Military Headquarters as the front-line commander of this war to report his duties.

It is said that this order was urgently teleported by a special magic circle in the military headquarters one night before Ruhr and Charia arrived in Denzel City.
