Chapter 45
The elite cavalry led by Kate were all captured at the first sight, which was something that Earl Kate and the entire Wensel family had not expected.
Although they had more than these troops, after losing this group of elite troops, they no longer had the confidence to confront Wu Wei head-on.
In addition, although Wu Wei's behavior was strong, he seemed to come with the sincerity of communication, at least he still followed the rules between nobles.
And this meant that everyone still had room for discussion.
Therefore, after the Wensel family held an emergency meeting, they sent several envoys to invite Wu Wei's army to rest in the territory. At the same time, on behalf of Earl Kate and the Wensel family, they invited the commander of the border army to the castle for a chat.
This was Wu Wei's purpose, and he naturally would not disagree.
At the command, Wu Wei's army swaggered towards Earl Kate's territory castle.
About half an hour later, Wu Wei saw a medieval-style city of considerable size.
Outside the city gate, a neat queue had been formed at this time, and there was no shortage of high-level human soldiers.
Wu Wei even saw no less than a hundred seventh-level knights, which made him sigh.
The garrison guarding the border town only had 100 knights, but an earldom had twice as many high-level knights, which showed how weak the royal family of this country was.
The royal family had basically lost control of the major fiefdoms, and rebellion was only a matter of time.
When Wu Wei was thinking this, a middle-aged noble with a beard came to greet him in front of the queue and shouted:
"I don't know which border commander came to my Kate territory. It's all my fault. I almost caused a misunderstanding."
Wu Wei looked at this guy and knew that this was the lord of this place, Earl Kate.
He dared to ask about his background at this time. It seems that he is still determined to do it.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find out Wu Wei's background even if he turned the kingdom upside down.
A sergeant from the Quarry Fort came forward and explained Wu Wei's identity to him:
"This is Lord Victor Ouronos, the current commander of the Quarry Castle garrison!"
Earl Kate was skeptical: Isn't the commander of Quarry Castle the Copper Dragon Knight Marcus? Where did this Victor come from?
Wu Wei saw his suspicious expression, but did not give him a chance to ask, but asked back:"Why, Earl Kate, are you doubting my identity?"
Earl Kate waved his hand quickly, and then invited:
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. My lord, please station your army outside the city. I have prepared a banquet, and I hope Lord Victor will honor us with his presence. If you have anything to say, how about we talk after we enter the city?"
He didn't even dare to ask Wu Wei to release the people, because he knew that Wu Wei had bad intentions and would never release the people at this time.
He was here to admit his mistake, so it would be better not to anger the other party.
Wu Wei did not refuse after hearing this. He asked the army to stay outside the city to recuperate, and he rode into the city with a large group of personal guards.
As the team continued to expand, his guards were constantly updated and strengthened. In addition to the 60 dragon blood warriors who were unshakable, there were 50 knights, 100 mages, and 200 swordsmen.
Such a large group of people riding into the city quickly attracted the attention of the residents.
Especially since his distinguished lord was leading the way in front, it made people even more curious about the identities of these soldiers. There was still a distance from the city gate to the Earl's castle. Earl Kate led the way and introduced his territory to him.
But Wu Wei was really not interested in his territory.
There were many functional buildings in the city, but they were all basic buildings, including military buildings of various levels, food workshops, blacksmith shops, and horse farms. There were not many special buildings that were worthy of Wu Wei's interest.
There was even only one high-level military building, such as the Knights' Battle Hall, which had only one. They were so proud of themselves and showed him their strength.
This was also called an earldom, which was really disappointing.
Instead, the farmland on the roadside aroused Wu Wei's interest. The farmland in his territory did not grow food, but was planted with a kind of lavender flowers. At a glance, it was a sea of purple flowers, which looked quite romantic.
However, the farmland in the territory was favored by the laws of the world, and the crops planted would grow and mature at a very fast speed, which was completely different from the ordinary farmland outside the territory.
Because of this magical effect, there was a limit on the number of God-given farmland in each territory.
God-given farmland was the greatest guarantee of the territory's food supply. It was reasonable to plant food to maximize the benefits, but this Earl Kate actually used it to plant flowers.
No, do these flowers have any special functions?
Wu Wei quickly realized that there was a problem, so he asked calmly:
"Earl Kate, I see that you have a strong army and many soldiers, so you must consume a lot of food, right? But I see that the God-given farmland in your territory is not used to grow food, but to grow these flowers. These flowers must be special, right?"
Hearing his words, Earl Kate smiled proudly and said,"Captain Victor guessed correctly, these flowers are called magic grass, a rare magical plant that can be used to make magic potions. I spent a lot of money to get the seeds and planting methods."
"Food is just basic supplies. It is enough to open up a large amount of farmland outside the territory and plant them slowly. Anyway, there are plenty of farmers in the territory, which is just enough to give them work to do!"
"Compared to the cultivation potions that can help ordinary people cultivate extraordinary powers and increase the cultivation speed of the God-given troops, food is not important at all, so the God-given farmland is of course the most suitable for growing magic plants."
Hearing this, Wu Wei's mind rumbled, and he felt that the door to a new world had been opened, and many doubts were solved.
Magic plants! Cultivation potions!
Interesting! I seem to know something incredible!
