is lifted, it is not the knights who fight for personal grudges. The return of this "hunting" , I am very willing to make a clear theory with you in front of Lord Opheloc. I will accept your duel invitation at that time! But before that, I reiterate that I, Roger, is the supreme commander of this operation !You must obey every command of mine! If you can’t do this, I will take over your command of the Golden Lion Knight and ask you to go back to Lille and explain everything to Lord Opheloc!”

　　Roger moved out of Opheloc, and Paulus knew that what he had done should not be true. Now I have to say in a bitter way: "Okay! I will help you complete this mission! But after the "hunting" is completed, let's take a look!

Mercenary

The road from Sellersburg to the Principality of Ron is already very dilapidated. Benjamin is familiar with the terrain here, so each truck is only loaded with two tons of cargo. Even so, this road is a severe test for the caravans of the caravan. Fortunately, this time the masters of the caravan entourage gathered. When they encountered an impassable location, four people carried a car and passed.
　　After more than two days of hard travel, this huge caravan finally passed through the desolate and rugged mountains safely.

　　 turned over the last hill in the Principality of Bavaria, and suddenly everyone's eyes lit up. A huge, beautiful, verdant basin waited quietly in front of them. At this time, there are few plants sprouting from the cold mountains of Selesburg, all the way, everyone sees some sad scenery. Where do you want to be separated by a mountain range, dark green, emerald green, tender green, goose yellow and other colors have embellished this basin so vividly.

　　 A gentle slope runs down the hill to the basin, and the gentle slope of the satin grass is dotted with unknown wildflowers. Several wild deer were frightened by the crowd and leaped lightly into the distance. A gentle river traverses the entire basin. There are many neat farmlands on both sides of the river, and the green seedlings sway gently with the wind. Far away from the basin is a lush forest that blends in with the mountains in the sky.

　　 In the middle of the basin, a medium-sized city was built by the river. The sturdy and thick wall stands tall, and the numerous arrow towers show that this is a military stronghold. However, countless farmhouses were built around the fortress, and many of them also formed villages, all peaceful. Obviously this land has been out of battle for a long time.

　　 The convoy began to drive slowly towards the basin. The headed people were still standing at the top of the hill and admiring the picturesque mountains and rivers.

Benjamin twisted his beard and said fascinatingly, "This'Falling Basin' has been the fish and rice warehouse of the entire Principality since Ron founded the country, and has never experienced turbulent war since ancient times. This is a mountain range. At the time of the Demon War, a god fell from the sky and crashed out of this basin among the mountains. Its blood veins turned into a river of'jue belt', its skin became fertile soil, and its heart was still It is beating, bringing warmth and moisture to the basin like spring all year round."

　　 He pointed his finger to the front, pointing at a small village in the distance, and said leisurely: "That village is the old man's hometown. It is also the place where the old man chooses to live."

　　 In such places, even ordinary people like Rogge are also relaxed and happy, let alone others.

　　Floya policy immediately took a step and asked: "Legends are legends after all. But across the mountains, the climate difference is so great, should there be other reasons?"

Benjamin replied with a smile: "Her Royal Highness is really smart, this basin is surrounded by mountains on three sides, only the southwest is a plain. The warm wind from the "Caspian Sea" can be flowed unimpeded, while the cold winds from the north and east are all mountainous. Blocked. So here is always wet and rainy. In addition, the remaining veins of the Ron volcano have been extended to here, so there are hundreds of hot springs in this'Luoshen Basin'. There is such a four seasons as the gentle breeze and wet ground Spring Basin."

Floya nodded and said, "Ron Volcano? Teacher said that it is one of the five largest volcanoes on the mainland. Wherever underground volcanic mountains go, naturally there are all kinds of rare mineral deposits. This is the Principality of Ron. Rare minerals, the reason it is called the "land of mines"? No wonder there are dwarfs who love this land. But it is really strange, Ron has everything, but there is no iron ore. That city is?"

　　 "His Royal Highness, that city is named after this basin, called Luoshen City. The city is stationed by the "Yama" mercenary regiment."

　　Before coming to the Principality of Ron, noble youths made up for the customs of the Principality of Ron. Knowing that the "Yemo" mercenary regiment was the first of the four major mercenary regiments, the scale actually reached 15,000 people, almost surpassing the entire army of a small country, both active and reserve.

　　 The Principality of Ron is extremely tolerant of mercenaries. Almost half of the famous large mercenary regiments on the mainland have their headquarters in the Principality of Ron, so they are also known as the ‘country of mercenaries’. The Principality of Ron is only 3,000 square kilometers and has a population of more than 5 million. The total number of domestic standing troops and mercenaries has actually reached 150,000. With the help of the developed smelting and weapons manufacturing industry, the regular army'non-sky' knights of the Principality of Ron are extremely well-equipped, and the number is as high as 20,000. The overall combat power has already ranked among the top ten knights of the mainland.

　　At the same time, the martial arts of the Principality of Ron was strong. Since the founding of the Principality, the founding father has set a strategy of hiding soldiers from the people, promoting martial arts and encouraging the development of mercenaries. So the Principality of Ron can almost be said to be all soldiers.

　　 Therefore, although the Principality of Ron, which is rich in various rare minerals, should be a piece of fat in the eyes of great powers. But for more than two hundred years since the founding of the country, due to the prosperous military force and the increasing prosperity of the mercenary industry, the Principality of Ron has hit the enemy of the invasion several times. One of the most famous battles was the "Battle of the Patriotic Kingdom" thirty years ago. The ‘non-day’ knights and the four major mercenary regiments totaled 60,000 soldiers to wipe out the 10,000 heavy cavalry and 30,000 infantry of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in one battle, and finally forced the Austro-Hungarian Empire to retreat and pay compensation.

　　After this campaign, the "Non-Sky" Knights officially entered the ranks of the top ten Knights.

　　 The Principality of Ron gave some cities and even some important military fortresses to the mercenary regiments as residences, and used part of the tax revenue as funds for the mercenary regiments. In return, the mercenary regiment must swear allegiance to the Principality of Ron and resist all foreign enemies when the Principality is invaded.

Most of the high-ranking figures of large and small mercenary regiments will also hold official positions in the Principality of Ron, and the leaders of large mercenary regiments will often accept the princehood and formally become hereditary nobles. As a check against the strength of mercenaries, the Royal Family of the Duchess of Ron controlled most of the weaponry manufacturing industry in the Principality, and the powerful combat power of the "Non-Sky" Knights was also sufficient to ensure the safety of the Royal Family of the Ron.

　　In two hundred years, the royal family of the Prince Ron and the mercenary regiment have formed bizarre and unique interdependence, mutual penetration, and common prosperity.

　　 "Yemo? How many cities do they manage in the Principality of Ron, as if their headquarters are not in this city?" Floya asked.

"Your Highness Princess, Yemo is the largest mercenary regiment of the Principality of Ron. It manages three cities for the Grand Duke. There are six thousand mercenaries stationed in the city of Luoshen. The reloaded dragon proud of "Yemo" Guns and infantry are the main ones. As far as the villain knows, there are two brigades in the city with a total of 2,000 dragon rifle infantry, 2,000 heavy infantry, 1,000 knights, and 1,000 light infantry." Benjamin knew nothing. , Endless words.

　　 "Dragon Spear Infantry? What kind of arms is that?" Kate interjected and asked.

"This dragon lance infantry may be the most hated thing for Lord Kate. The dragon rifle infantry of the'Yemo' mercenary regiment are equipped with full body armor and three layers of fine iron tower shields. Every two dragon lance soldiers fight together. The seven-meter dragon gun, the entire dragon gun array can be divided into three layers. This dragon gun has a back seat, which can be supported on the ground during wartime to increase the ability to resist impact. Ha ha, speaking of this, Lord Kate must understand This dragon gun infantry is used to deal with heavy knights. As far as the villain knows, these dragon gun infantry were transferred here in the last three months." Benjamin replied with a smile.

　　Rog thought to himself, the purpose of building this city of falling gods is self-evident. Eight out of nine is to resist the possible invasion of the Rhine League. As for sending the Longgun infantry to the station, it is natural to deal with the three knights of the Rheinland League headed by the Knights of the Lionheart.

　　 Freya continued to ask: "In this way, the Principality of Ron is ready to fight against the Rheinland League?"

Benjamin reverently replied: "This is not the case. As far as the villain knows, the people of the Principality of Ron are still very peace-loving. The current situation is that the Rheinland League has a very high voice of war against the Principality of Ron, so the Principality of Ron has strengthened Ready for battle. This is just defense."

Luns interjected: "How do I think the Principality of Ron is stronger than the Confederacy? At such a large place, there are actually 70,000 regular troops and 80,000 mercenaries! The "non-day" knights are still one of the ten knights. The Rheinland Alliance seems to have only a total of more than a hundred thousand troops. This still counts those light infantry." He scratched his head and continued: "When I was in Lille, how did I seem to say that the Alliance is all Can you easily destroy the Principality of Ron?"

Floya sighed softly: "This is about twenty years ago. Grand Duke Ron was proud of his strength, and even led a 50,000 army to fight against the alliance. As a result, he met a baron who was still a baron. The Grand Duke of Bavaria. At that time, the combination of
