Chapter 436: Noble’s Thoughts

Chapter 436: Noble’s Thoughts

While they were waiting, 50 carriages arrived under the escort of 300 desert bandits.

They didn’t encounter any obstacles along the way. Even when they wanted to replenish their food and water, the farms and villages along the way did their best to help. They even talked about the noble they served to, whether intentionally or not.

This was a sign of goodwill. Those who looked like butlers were very humble and polite.

Even the ordinary desert bandits showed great courtesy.

It was no wonder.

So many empty carriages were heading to Mountain of Death. They were definitely planning to bring back a large amount of wealth. Moreover, they were escorted by the terrifying elite troops. No one dared to rob them easily. Or rather, no one could do it at all!

It would be fine if they expressed their goodwill

They were afraid if they were still arrogant and full of malice to them. Then, Kant’s troop would destroy their farms and villages when they returned on the way back. It would be as easy as if the peasant had uprooted a cabbage. It wouldn’t take much effort at all.

When they knew Kant’s strength, no one would dare to take revenge, because that would be equivalent to courting death!

The current East County was trying to contact Kant with good intentions.

With such reasons, they did not dare to have any malice.

Even Kant’s aunt, the nominal countess of the East County Agatha, had tacitly admitted that Kant had appeared in her estate. In fact, even if she did not tacitly admit it, there was nothing she could do. She had already been dethroned.

She had once sent elites with the few remaining grand knights to attack the Stone Pass.

Her goal was to break the collusion between the noble and the Crimson Sect.

But she had not expected that not only had the Stone Pass not been taken down, but all of her elites had been lost.

Currently, Countess Agatha had completely lost the power to control the outer regions. Even her decree was only effective in the building of governor’s official residence. Now, other than hiding in her official residence, she had basically given up on the East County City.

East County City was now under the autonomy of the noble families. The entire East County had also become an autonomous region for the noble families.

The noble families who were used to the existence of the Crimson Sect did not mind Kant joining them.

Because after Kant joined, they had also returned to their old times. Not only did they not have the slightest regret, but they even felt that they were worthy of following Kant, who would definitely be able to seize the position of the Grand Duke of Leo in the future. After all, he was the strongest person in the royal family!

As for Baron Kant’s older brother, who was still in the Castle of Leo and was groomed as the heir of the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, he was not in the eyes of the many nobles in the East County.

He was just an obedient canary in a birdcage.

He could not be compared to Kant!

Baron Kant had his own army, and his strength was definitely not inferior to a county.

Kant also had salt mines that could produce an endless amount of fine white salt that was priceless. It was as easy as flipping one’s hand to obtain more silver coins. No matter how others thought about it, they could not stop the rise of a noble with such strength.

If the title of Grand Duke of Leo did not fall on Kant’s shoulders, then the situation would be chaotic!

Of course, the noble families were very familiar with the conflicts between the royal families.

The title of grand duke was extraordinary.

They could give a slight nod when they met the king, let alone lead a dukedom!

Even in the Silver Platter Kingdom, they would not dare to give the title of grand duke casually, because giving the title of grand duke was equivalent to splitting the country to the grand duke. If this grand duke had good intentions, it would be fine. But if he was up to no good, and the family ran for several generations, it would be too easy to split the country!

In reality, the Dukedom of Leo was also a dukedom that split from an empire.

However, the Silver Platter Kingdom was the same.

It was a vast empire.

However, due to various reasons, it collapsed a thousand years ago, splitting into a few human kingdoms and a few dukedoms. In the end, it turned into the current human kingdoms that used the Resniston River as a communication and connection.

This was a digression. The former human empire had long disappeared in the long river of history.

Now was the most important thing.

Noble families were all shrewd. Their ability to seek profits and avoid trouble was no less than that of merchants.

They also understood that if they could get on the good side of Baron Kant, their family might be able to take a step forward! After all, Kant had a great chance to inherit the title of Grand Duke of Leo.

Perhaps, if they were lucky, they could replace the few top-class noble families in the South County who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the royal family!

If they were extremely lucky, they might even get more benefits

Kant had the right to inherit the Silver Platter Kingdom.

If they could enter the silver platter kingdom, enter the land that was far richer than the Dukedom of Leo, and become a noble among them, it would be even better than this small place!

It was not impossible!

…

At the Mountain of Death.

The 50 carriages had already arrived under the escort of 300 desert bandits.

Many soldiers personally moved all the valuable things that they had seized onto the carriage. There were bags of great silver coins, golden eagles, and gold-inlaid handicrafts, silver handicrafts, and many more!

Mountain of Death was the headquarters of the Crimson Sect that had been in operation for at least a decade.

They accumulated tons of wealth.

Even these 50 carriages could not carry all the goods.

In the end, Kant only let the soldiers choose a large number of valuable items that could be directly converted into golden eagles or pure gold and loaded them into the carriage. They were filled to the brim and all of them were fully loaded.

It was estimated that the loot would reach millions of denars!

War was the most profitable way, there was no other way.

Plundering the wealth accumulated by others for many years was the fastest way to make money.

In the world of “Mount and Blade”, this was also an eternal theme. No matter how well you managed, after losing a battle, your business and wealth would be plundered and eventually benefit others.

Now, Kant would get the benefit!

And the soldiers behind him who had all completed their level up!

There were 1,300 Rhodok Sergeants, 500 RHodok Crossbowmen, 500 Ravenstern Sharpshooters, 1,000 Mamlukes, 800 Sarrandian Horsemen.

The force that was close to 6,000 + people had been reduced by more than half.

The 4,100-man strong troop looked even sturdier and more muscular. This was because more than half of the troops had been wiped out, leaving behind only the elites, the true elites!

Most of them were top-tier level 5 troop class.

Only 800 desert bandits were upgraded to Sarrandian Horsemen.

In that battle, the desert bandits had suffered heavy losses, especially when they were fighting the enemies in the end. The desert bandits, who were not good at close combat, still rushed in with the ambition to die, dying together with the fanatic cavalries.

This also eased the pressure on the Sarrandian Horsemen, reducing their number of casualties.

In the end, it resulted in the achievement of 1,000 Mamlukes. They were an existence that was no less than a Swadian Knight.

In the desert, the combat strength of this group of Mamlukes was even stronger. In fact, when facing heavy armor units, Mamlukes used a two-handed iron staff that could break armor and blunt attack, which was stronger than a Swadian Knight who used a knight sword!
