Of course, this little thing doesn't bother Roger. In fact, there is a corpse in the castle's warehouse. [] This corpse is the spirit that was killed when he tried to rob Roger's castle hub on Earth. At that time,
Roger was worried that the corpse would be discovered and cause trouble for him, so he stuffed the corpse into the warehouse. As time went by, he forgot about it, and now it became food for the little corpse-eating insects.
Speaking of which, Lingxu was also a cultivator, but his soul was absorbed by the castle hub and his body became food for corpse-eating insects. It can be said that his soul was scattered and his bones were left. This was all because he was too greedy and coveted Roger's "magic weapon"
That's why we ended up like this.
The chance encounter with Markas can only be regarded as an episode on the way to the capital. Although Roger lost a lot of soldiers because of this, he also got a magic crystal and a corpse-eating insect pet, and also absorbed a lot of souls.
It can be considered a small gain.
The discovery of a conspiracy of undead creatures disguised as humans to sneak into the hinterland of the kingdom also gave Roger a sense of urgency again. In order to make the news public as soon as possible, he also accelerated his pace and arrived before dark that day.
Mandos City, the capital of the Kingdom of Thorn.
The human empire founded by the Lion-Hearted Emperor Lawrence three hundred years ago fell apart. After hundreds of years of war, the human world gradually formed more than a dozen countries, large and small. The Kingdom of Thorne is one of its largest countries.
The capital city of Mandos is also one of the largest cities in the human world.
Even in the deep twilight, Mandos City is a majestic city. The tall city walls are more than half higher than those of Linton Pass, and they are all made of granite transported from the Rocky Mountains three hundred miles away in the north.
It is built of bricks. In the twilight, the city wall shows a deep gray-black color, extending to both sides, almost without end.
Two giant catapults can run side by side on the city wall. As for the shooting holes, there are countless openings for pouring hot oil. And the most talked about thing is that it is said that there are magic circles engraved at regular intervals on the city wall.
, these magic arrays and the magic array located in the central palace of the city form a huge magic array, which can deal a fatal blow to the invading enemy.
Of course, as this magic circle is the most mysterious part of the kingdom's defense system, it will never be used easily. People only know about the existence of this magic circle through rumors, but they have never actually seen it being used.
What people can usually see is the Kingdom Guards guarding Mandos City. This regiment is the most elite force in the Kingdom, with a total of 50,000 people. In addition to well-trained and well-equipped infantry and crossbowmen,
There is also a cavalry force of more than 4,000 people and a large number of heavy weapons such as catapults and giant crossbows.
If these are nothing, the Guards even have a group of nearly a hundred magicians! In the battle to guard the city, such a large number of magicians accompanying the army are definitely terrifying killing machines. When these forces are combined,
Coupled with the tall and solid walls of Mandos City, this city has the title of "The City That Will Never Fall".
However, Roger does not completely agree with this statement. He has heard two statements on earth. The first is that "the strongest castles are often captured from the inside"; the second is that "there is no defense line in the world that cannot be broken through."
.So Roger didn’t take it to heart that Mandos City could never be captured.
Of course, this is not something Roger has to worry about. What he has to do now is to enter the city quickly before the city gate closes, and then find the Duke of Hamilton's mansion as soon as possible so that he can meet everyone who has been separated for a long time.
It is said that the population of Mandos City exceeds 500,000. Only after entering the city did Roger feel the scale of this city firsthand. The buildings on the streets are lined up in rows. Even after dark, the pedestrians on the streets are coming and going, which is very lively.
The city is definitely the most prosperous place Roger has ever visited since coming to the world of Toulonzo.
Although Mandos is a large city, it is not difficult to find the residence of Duke Hamilton. Not only does Tesh Hamilton hold the title of Duke, but he is also the head of the Privy Council and is one of the most powerful people in the kingdom. And the Duke's daughter
Anna Hamilton is also a famous beauty in the capital. She is even more famous among young people than her father. So Roger asked many passers-by along the way, and almost all of them knew where Duke Hamilton lived. Under the guidance of these people, Roger
He arrived in front of the Duke's mansion easily.
The Duke's residence is located in the aristocratic district in the south of the city. This house can be called a small castle. There are not many people as powerful as Duke Hamilton in the kingdom, and no one dares to say anything about his luxurious residence.
.
Roger told the servant at the door his name and asked him to announce it for him. Anna had already given instructions about Roger, so after hearing Roger announce his name, the servant immediately trotted over to announce it for him.
.
Not long after Roger waited at the door, a group of people came out in a hurry. They were all Roger's men. They had returned to the capital with Anna earlier. They just heard that Roger had finally arrived, so naturally they all came out to greet their master.
Mike and Eddie were running at the front, and the others followed behind them. The faces that Roger was familiar with all had expressions of excitement and joy, and it seemed that they were really excited to see Roger again.
happy.
"I've met the master!" A group of people came to Roger, led by Eddie and Mike, and saluted Roger respectfully.
No need to ask, you know that this must be Eddie's idea. As a top student at the Royal Etiquette School, he always felt that everyone's attitude towards Roger was not in line with etiquette. So taking the opportunity at the Duke's house, Eddie taught everyone basic etiquette.
This is when it finally comes in handy.
Roger did not stop everyone from saluting him. The longer he stayed in the world of Toulonzo, the more he would get used to the customs here. Therefore, Roger also knew very well that there were times when he had to maintain a slight distinction between superior and inferior to his subordinates. This was not only
It's as simple as satisfying your ego, but it's also related to whether you can truly gain the support of your subordinates.
However, after accepting everyone's greetings in a grand manner, Roger's behavior became more casual. He first introduced Chris and others as well as Mike and others, and explained that the knight would also work for him in the future.
In fact, the two parties had met in Fort Davao, and they were considered comrades who had fought together. Now everyone works for Roger, and the relationship between them is very harmonious. Roger told each other about how they met after breaking up.
What happened was actually enjoyable for a while.
At this moment, a petite figure ran out of the house and rushed straight towards Roger.
