Chapter 439 The Whole Story
Benson felt much better after finishing the matter in one breath, as if he was defecating without being pinched.
He vowed that if he had the chance to see King Winter again in the future, he would definitely not apply the polite manners he learned from the nobles to King Winter.
It doesn't work at all...
After listening to the great knight's narration, Xiwei probably had an idea.
It was obvious that these bandits were trying to steal Winter City's standard equipment.
The reason why Lord Benson was let go was because the earth knights in the bandit group knew not to take advantage of the situation.
Every month, Winter City will transport standard equipment to various territories.
These equipment are made of relatively good materials.
And after all, he was in the royal city, under Xi Wei's nose.
No one dared to skimp on materials when building these equipment, and the quality has stood the test. It is much better than the tattered equipment issued to soldiers by other countries.
This is something Xiwei pays special attention to.
When I was in the Emerald Fortress.
He had seen the new equipment provided by Kalanli and Mayton Kingdoms to support the border fortress.
Of course, apart from the new name, it has nothing to do with the new name.
The blade of the weapon is pitted and a little curled, which is relatively good.
Xiwei even saw shields with holes and tattered armor stuffed with rotten vegetable leaves and gathering dust.
The joints of this kind of armor have been completely corroded. No matter how much oil is put on the body, it cannot move freely. It is undoubtedly very deadly on the battlefield.
The late Duke Northwind told him.
Every time the kingdom sent support equipment, it was like this.
At least the equipment placed on the surface of the transport vehicle in the past few years was still new.
By now it was completely undisguised.
Xi Wei still remembers the helplessness and disappointment in the old knight's eyes when he said this, which was colder than the north wind blowing in the face of the Emerald Fortress.
Armor and weapons are life-saving things for soldiers.
Maybe in the eyes of those nobles, the lives of soldiers are not valuable, the rusty equipment is not useless, and the long sword with a curled blade can still kill the enemy.
But they didn’t know that the reason why they could sit in the castle, drink wine, eat barbecue, and hold a warm woman in their arms was entirely because on the border thousands of miles away, a group of soldiers wearing broken armor and holding broken swords were standing there. Desperately, bleeding.
Even if you want to get equipment that can be used normally, you have to pick it off from the enemy.
When the long sword that could kill the enemy could not penetrate the enemy's armor because the blade was curled, the battlefield was changing rapidly. One wrong step, one wrong step, and the opportunity was lost. The enemy smiled evilly and pierced the soldier's chest with a backhand sword. This How desperate this soldier must have been.
Will he regret his original intention to protect the country?
Xiwei didn't want to see this kind of thing happen in the Winter Empire.
Therefore, he controlled the entire production and transportation of equipment, and prevented any nobles from interfering in all processes, not even the most trusted Clement and his father, the Duke of Manhattan.
A set of Winter City's standard equipment costs about 50 gold coins.
If it were sold in the market, with the exquisite craftsmanship of the dwarves, it could easily be sold for two to three hundred gold coins. The profit would be enough for anyone to become a believer in Satan.
He doesn't want to test people's hearts.
Let's leave this kind of work to the ruthless system soldiers.
Unexpectedly, the equipment was indeed delivered to the soldiers, but they did not get it, but they were targeted by the bandits.
"That's wrong." Xiwei touched his chin and looked suspiciously.
"Why is there an Earth Knight among the bandits?"
This is a very inconsistent thing.
To become a knight, you must attend the Knight Academy, where knight instructors will teach you the knight code, related chivalry, the mainland's monster illustrations, basic common sense for professionals, etc.
Finally, the god of knights teaches fighting spirit.
After that, you can graduate by studying knight skills for three to four years.
Graduated knights will directly become aristocrats.
It can be said that being able to receive the blessing of the God of Knights means that at least the person had a very good character when he first became a knight. However, the God of Knights can only test out righteous candidates as much as possible. He cannot guarantee that people's hearts will not deteriorate. .
This is why there are always a few scum among the knights.
Put all that aside.
A high knight can at least apply for the title of viscount in the Winter Empire.
Even if the title is full, you can still obtain the status of a pioneer noble and obtain a free territory the size of an earldom directly outside the border.
Sivi would provide economic and military support to such pioneering nobles.
Ensure that such pioneering nobles can gain a foothold in pioneering areas such as the Northern Territory and the Desert of Death.
No matter which way you go.
For an earth knight.
It's much better than becoming the leader of a gang of robbers.
Not only sitting on more wealth and power.
Moreover, his identity is very good, and he has a letter and a medal conferred by the King of Winter himself.
And he just needs to be obedient and peaceful.
But in the end, this earth knight chose to hang out with the bandits.
Then it can only explain two problems.
Either it was because of the profits that he had to be tempted, even if he gave up a more prominent identity.
Either that or there is someone behind this Earth Knight.
He is just a pawn being manipulated.
No matter what the reason is, it is worth investigating. If it is just the first reason, just arrest the Earth Knight and go mining to finish it. If it is the second reason, then follow the clues and find out the guy behind the scenes. Let his whole family go mining.
"Benson Ni...Nidaye?"
"yes!"
Xiwei coughed twice to hide her embarrassment.
The name is still too convoluted.
Every time I read it I always feel like I'm swearing.
"I have understood the situation you reported. I will send troops to your Pinewood City to investigate the situation. Now you go back first. Don't send soldiers out of the city to fight the bandits for the time being."
"But if you don't go out, these bandits will trample the farmers' vegetable fields and massacre ordinary people wantonly." Benson was a little embarrassed.
He is a kind city lord.
It is unacceptable to see soldiers die in battle, nor to accept civilians being massacred by bandits.
"All they want is Winter City's standard equipment." Xiwei knocked on the table.
"Throw your gear at them."
"What?" The knight's eyes widened, seemingly in disbelief.
"I said, throw the equipment to them." Xiwei stared at the dazzling bald head of the great knight, repeated it patiently, and continued: "You only need to wait until the reinforcements arrive, and what happens after that will happen in Winter City." The army will sort it out for you."
…
Benson Nidaye is gone.
I was worried when I came, and I was happy when I left.
As for Xi Wei in the conference hall.
After sitting alone in a chair for a while.
He issued a task to the players in Winter City.
