Chapter 150

Sean's troops did not stay in tonis fortress for a long time. After Sean officially became "Sir Connery", he left tonis fortress with his troops that day.

When passing through the outer city, Sean saw not a strict royal guard, but a group of old soldiers.

Under the same scorching sun, as the thunder front of yasna Pro guard, they are still responsible for the defense, patrol and daily maintenance of the whole inner city. They look no different from ordinary soldiers. If they are not dressed in bright red robes and thunder sword shield badges on their backs, No one would think that this garrison was the famous thunder front under the Marquis of tonis.

The royal guard not only did not stand guard in the outer city, but also did not even guard and monitor the city wall. In order to avoid the summer, almost all of them hid in the fortification building. There was not even a training person in such a large square in the outer city. If there were not all kinds of talk and laughter from all places, people passing through here would even think that the outer city is a desolate place.

The team went out of the gate of the inner city and slowly passed the square of the outer city.

The northern barbarians were not good at riding, and Sean didn't mean to cultivate them into cavalry, so he didn't buy horses for them. However, for the sake of Cecilia and William, Sean prepared two carriages, while he rode a war horse bought from Athena. It seemed that William and Cecilia were more like aristocrats, while Sean was just a knight.

The leader ahead is big Arnold.

Dozens of northern barbarians followed him and protected the two carriages, while about 60 or 70 archers followed behind the vehicles. As soldiers, their treatment has been good, and Sean has promised them that as long as they have made war achievements, everyone can regain their freedom, and even be treated by the regular army like the northern barbarians - they don't believe these words. The end of the troops is nothing more than cannon fodder, otherwise in the conflict led by danawi, Their companions won't run away.

But after the performance, Sean actually conquered them. Even though they know that this is a way to buy people's hearts, they are still willing to stay and try to kill the enemy in order to get freedom and better treatment. People born in the capital of trade, unless they live there for a long time, who will marry and have children? In such a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, for those who can live day by day, if they die after marriage, their wives and children will not become other people's playthings?

Sean's promise to the veterans and the northern barbarians, who have already known it.

Even if they are afraid of death, future generations can be safe, so their efforts and struggles will naturally have value.

Some royal guards were finally willing to look up at the army that suddenly appeared in the outer city and was obviously going out of the fortress. However, most of them showed disapproval, and only a few officers at the general level showed thoughtful appearance. Because they have never seen any mercenary regiment show such a strict law of killing. Shouldn't it be casual for these bandits who lick their blood?

Sean's team didn't fly any flags. It's normal for outsiders to regard it as a mercenary regiment.

As the first line of defense of tonis fortress and the buffer zone for turning into street fighting, the scale of the outer city area is huge. Otherwise, it is impossible for 70000 troops from the royal family to be stationed here. However, in this area, the defense focus of yasna is not to block the enemy's attack, but to consume the effective strength of the siege party as much as possible. Therefore, there are more fortifications, which makes 70000 royal guards stationed here seem a little crowded.

However, this is also because these royal guards are old soldiers, and there are even many noble disciples who come to gild, so it seems a little crowded - they are drivers who want to move the whole house, which is really unbearable. Perhaps, because of this, yasina didn't bother to pay attention to them and directly threw them here in the outer city, out of sight.

However, this also shows the vastness of the outer urban area from one aspect.

From the gate of the inner city to the gate of the outer city, Sean and others walked for three hours before they finally saw the dark black gate 20 meters high built against the mountain wall. This gate is called "the iron wall of tonis". Although its height is the same as that of several other gates in the fortress, its thickness is different. Sean's visual observation shows that it is at least more than three meters thick.

The opening and closing of the city gate need to rely on the power provided by six steam power machines to make the rotating gear rotate, and even need the human assistance of hundreds of people. Each time, it takes more than half an hour to completely open and close the city gate. So when the royal guard came here, they made a request to yasna to keep the city gate never closed in non war. Therefore, they were willing to increase the defense and patrol strength of the city gate.

Athena did not object to this.

So when Sean came here, he saw two huge black gates that were completely open. There is no ferocious portrait or anything else carved on it. The whole gate looks very smooth. Of course, this is also because the fortress has not experienced any war since its completion. Although it has been a year, in fact, the maintenance of the gate is excellent and still brand-new.

Perhaps this is one of the main reasons why yasina doesn't go too hard on the Royal Guard.

There are a lot of troops stationed at the city gate, there are dozens of people, but these people are not wearing any armor. Instead, they are wearing a thin short sleeved coat, and they have a variety of weapons. If Sean hadn't heard about the outer city from Athena, he would think these people were just some mercenary ruffians, Not from the Royal Corps.

At the moment, these people look more like noble disciples on an outing. They laugh and play, and have no seriousness as soldiers at all. After seeing Sean leading the team, the playfulness of these people gradually stopped. Everyone's eyes shifted to Sean and others and began to look up and down. When Sean's team was about to leave the city, two soldiers finally came forward and stopped the whole team.

"What's up?" Sean frowned.

"Don't you know that tonis fortress needs to register in and out of the city?" A soldier angrily scolded, "everyone fill in their names."

Of course, Sean understood the rules of tonis fortress, but he really didn't know that there would be such a cumbersome side. I remember when he entered the fortress, that is, each person paid a copper coin head fee - this fee was not much, it was just a symbolic meaning, but more meant the order control of tonis fortress. However, it is somewhat puzzling that such a detailed registration is required here.

How come you don't need to go into the city, but you only need to go out of the city?

But what really made Sean feel big was these northern barbarians. They don't know a word, and the name is more just a pronunciation. Arnold gave the name to Sean, so it's definitely a difficult technical job to let these northern barbarians fill in their names.

"The people in the carriage have to come down and fill in, and we have to check the carriage and hurry to let all the people out." The soldier began to shout again and walked towards the carriage.

"If you want to solve it quickly, you can't help it." Another soldier looked at his companion and said with a smile, "the head fee of ten copper coins per person will not waste you much time. You can also leave immediately."

Now, Sean understood.

This group of people is really a group of military ruffians. It seems that they want to blackmail. Moreover, looking at the cooperation of the two of them singing the double reed, I'm afraid they haven't done less, and I don't know how many caravans have been blackmailed by them in this way - for profitable caravans, they certainly don't want to waste too much time here. How much time will it take to register everything in a caravan, especially those doing new business.

But ten copper coins per person was not expensive for Sean, and the whole team was only one gold coin and seven silver coins.

Just as Sean was about to pay, Cecilia's angry cry came behind him.

Sean looked back and saw that the soldier walking to the carriage had fallen to the ground at the moment. About a dozen northern barbarians looked at him angrily. If William hadn't stopped, these northern barbarians would rush up and teach him a lesson. All the northern barbarians and those soldiers had gathered around with great momentum. For a moment, they scared the soldier ruffian who fell to the ground pale.

At the sight of this scene, Sean's face immediately looked ugly.

"What's going on?"

"Well, you mercenaries dare to be so presumptuous!" Seeing Sean coming, the soldier immediately jumped up, a little fierce and cowardly, "what do you think this is? I now suspect that you are spies of the enemy country. Put down your arms! "

Dozens of people stationed around the door have also surrounded with weapons, and their faces have lost their previous laughter. Everyone has a straight face and a serious face. It has to be said that if these ruffians were serious, they would have a bit of the majesty of the royal guards. If they were willing to wear armor, they might have more energy and spirit.

However, in the face of the soldier's nonsense, Sean and others ignored it. William explained it to Sean in a low voice.

It turned out that the soldier went to open the door of the carriage, and when he saw Cecilia, he became lusty, flirted with her in language, and had to get in the car to pull people. In this way, the surrounding northern barbarians were not willing. William simply said to throw it down, so the soldier was severely thrown to the ground by several northern barbarians. These northern barbarians were not satisfied with throwing it, and seemed to want to punch and kick. William naturally had to stop this.

After listening to the explanation, Sean's face was very ugly. He turned his head and stared coldly at the soldier and the army ruffians behind him. He said in a deep voice, "is this the quality and discipline of your royal guard?"

"It's not up to people like you to comment on our quality and military discipline." A man with a flower collar and a border, surrounded by dozens of other people who seemed to be soldiers of the Royal Guard, walked slowly. His face glanced at Sean and a group of northern barbarians and archers with great contempt. "I'll give you another chance to leave this woman and rush out of the city. Otherwise, don't blame my ruthlessness."

Sean laughed back in anger（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
