Lord Highlander

   Chapter 740 729. Chester Great Swordsman

  Wilkes, the central city of the Bailin Plane, has a permanent population of nearly one million and has a total of nine regions.

  Central temple area, aristocratic block, garrison area, merchant life block, civilian block, aboriginal life area, slum area, commercial block, industrial block.

  The block with the temple as the main building occupies the most central area of ​​Wilkes City.

The large residences around the temple are owned by clergy, but with the gradual decline of the Statue of Liberty Temple, most of the various buildings in this block were bought by nobles and businessmen. Now the Temple of Liberty here has become a New location for Civic Center and House of Representatives.

The aristocratic blocks are basically large manors, where the oldest nobles who have entered the Bailin plane live. The people who can live in this area are some prominent dignitaries. This area covers a large area, but in fact Twenty-seven manors.

The garrison barracks used to be the temporary barracks of the Imperial Expeditionary Force at the beginning of the city's construction. Later, Wilkes City was established, and this area was also divided into military management areas. In addition to the barracks, many knights who settled in the Bailin plane They all built some villa-style houses around the barracks, and now the entire garrison barracks has become an independent block of Wilkes City.

  In addition to the above-mentioned blocks where the upper classes live, there are also merchants, civilians, aborigines, and poor living areas.

  The commercial street and workshop in Wilkes City are two independent blocks.

The nine areas are clearly separated by four central main streets. In addition to the most famous Liberty Square in front of the temple, Wilkes City has huge square squares at the four intersections at the intersection of the four main streets. Many trees were planted, a row of benches were placed on the edge of the lawn, a very flat circular area was paved with stone slabs in the middle, and a marble statue stood in the center.

  The Military Headquarters of Bena Province is located in the garrison area. The Luthor Legion Command is a small three-story building. The small building faces the street on the south side and the square square on the north side.

  The office of Great Swordsman Chester is located on the third floor of this small building.

From the window on the east side, you can just see the magnificent temple in the center of the city, which is comparable to a castle palace. Unfortunately, two years ago, a large number of clergymen in the temple participated in the holy war, and the temple became empty. With most of the priests Leaving the plane of Bailin with the battle priest, the last dozen or so old priests stationed in the temple moved to the last hall of the temple. They built all the doors and windows of the hall with bricks and completely sealed them.

  It is said that they will undergo penance in it, and they will not come out of the palace until the glory of the Statue of Liberty shines on all living beings again.

  Now the gatekeepers deliver multigrain cakes and clean water to the mouth every day, and only one portion of food and one portion of water will be taken away every week.

  Now the temple has become the City Hall and House of Representatives of Wilkes City, but the gorgeous palace is still so glamorous.

  In the past month, the Great Swordsman Chester was almost devastated. He didn't expect that Langdon's Legion was rotten to the bottom.

Commander Langdon's Legion actually only went back and forth between Wilkes City and Bena City during the past three years. He was a frequent guest at noble **** and often invited some noble ladies to spend the night at his manor. For Wilkes The affairs of Sri Lanka's northern defense zone are almost indifferent.

   Fortunately, the situation in the Bailin plane has been very stable in the past few years, and the border town in the northern defense zone seems to have been forgotten by everyone.

It is said that after returning to Wilkes City, the five cavalry battalions of Langdon's Legion stationed on the northern border ran to the taverns in the city to get drunk. When they were drunk, they sat on the street or on the roof and sang or Shout out and celebrate yourself getting out of danger before it hits you.

  Although the Wilkes City military headquarters had received early warning of the beast swarm, due to the northern defense zone, no decent report had been sent.

What's even more ridiculous is that the commander-in-chief of the Langdon Legion didn't know about this at all, and even said to the commanders stationed in the border town with a look of astonishment at the "Landdon Legion Garrison Celebration Cocktail Party": " The situation is so critical, how can I report it to the higher authorities?"

After a month of coordination and preparation, Chester Great Swordsman has sorted out the distribution of the defense areas of the Luthor Corps battalions. He urgently recruited 5,000 new troops from Wilkes City, formed the Legion Reserve, and Organize these new troops into eighty-three squadrons, and send them to small towns around Wilkes City to accept the unified jurisdiction of the local garrison.

  Then Chester Great Swordsman drew half of his troops from the barracks in these small towns and gathered them in the big camp in Wilkes City, preparing for final reorganization and temporary secondment to five northern border towns.

  In this way, each border town can add a thousand elite cavalry, infantry, archer and mixed troops of the Luthor Legion.

It's a pity that because the main army of Bena Province is currently trapped in the Warsaw plane, a coup broke out in the Tarapakan area. After recovering, a large amount of materials need to be continuously invested in the Warsaw plane, and now there is an additional Tarapakan area.

   Catapults, bed crossbows, and fire scale bombs could not be supplied to the Bailin plane. Chester Great Swordsman had submitted three applications in a row, but unfortunately they were all rejected mercilessly by the House of Representatives of Bena Province.

  Big Swordsman Chester held a cup of coffee, stood by the window looking at the square not far away, and listened to the adjutant's report.

  When the adjutant was talking about the situation in Dodan Town, the great swordsman Chester suddenly waved his hand to make the adjutant stop.

  He turned around and said, "I remember that the garrison in Dodan Town is Baron Suldak?"

"Yes, Baron Suldak led an independent cavalry battalion to garrison Dodan Town. This cavalry battalion was just formed. We don't have any record of military exploits before, and we don't know their specific strength." The adjutant flipped through his hands. parchment notebook, looked up and said.

  The Great Swordsman Chester pondered for a while, raised his hand and pointed upwards and said, "Go and make arrangements. This time I will send the mixed troops to Dodan Town, and I will go there myself."

   "Yes! My lord." The adjutant immediately recorded Chester's words.

  Chester Great Swordsman shouted to the adjutant: "Oh, there is more! Send ten catapults to the town of Dodan."

  The adjutant was slightly taken aback, and asked the great swordsman Chester, "My lord, what should we do at the military headquarters?"

   "I'm going to say hello to Earl Grant..." the great swordsman Chester waved his hand and said.

  As soon as the adjutant walked out of the door, the assistant waiting outside poked his head in and said quickly:

   "Master Chester, Mr. Florian, the Wilkes consul, is here."

  Chester Great Swordsman said:

   "Come in, please."

   Immediately afterwards, he raised the coffee cup in his hand and said to the assistant, "Prepare another cup of coffee for Lord Florian."

  …

  The Great Swordsman Chester walked to the door.

  A man with a neatly trimmed beard and hair came in. He was wearing an elegant aristocratic dress. When he saw the great swordsman Chester, he immediately opened his arms and hugged him, and said very enthusiastically:

   "Chester, how are you doing in Wilkes?"

  The governor of Wilkes City actually looks stronger than Chester Great Swordsman.

  Chester said with a smile: "Master Florian, this place is very good, the climate is even better than that of Bena City..."

  The two walked to the sofa in the office and sat down.

  Consul Florian rubbed his hands and said, "If you need anything, you can send someone to the city hall to look for me at any time."

   "Thank you for your concern!" Chester Great Swordsman said.

  At this time, Chester's female assistant brought a cup of hot coffee to Consul Florian.

  Florian looked at the decoration in the office and said casually:

   "I heard that Marquis Luther presided over the overall situation in the Tarapakan area of ​​Bena Province?"

  The lighting in the room is very good, and the morning sun shines in from the window.

  Big Swordsman Chester put one hand on his waist and the other arm on the back of the sofa, and said:

   "If it weren't for the Bailin plane where I couldn't get away, I would go there to support."

  Florian took a breath and asked solemnly, "Is the situation over there bad?"

The Great Swordsman Chester said: "It's just about Tanan. Lord McGinley persuaded more than 20 local noble lords to unite. For Bena Province, it is easy to recover the land in Tanan, but they want to To hide in the Ganbu plane and establish an independent regime, Lord McGinley has been operating in the Ganbu plane for nearly ten years. We only have the coordinates of the plane in our hands. It is easy to regain Tanan, but if we want to The dry cloth plane has also been recovered, so far it is still very troublesome, and the great mages need to use the astrolabe to reverse deduce in the astrologer's union."

  The Consul Florian asked again: "When will the Lord Duke come back, there is no clear news yet?"

Chester Great Swordsman shook his head and said: "Even if you want to give up Handanal County this time, it will not be so easy to shrink the line of defense. Duke Ryan went to the imperial capital this time because it is said that a woman offended the royal family, and also The imperial capital's magic union was angered, and a large number of magicians withdrew from the Warsaw plane. The Royal Constructed Knights led by the Prince of Wales also left the Warsaw plane.

  Consul Florian leaned on the sofa, glanced at the Bailin map on the wall, and said, "Although the Bailin plane is a small and inconspicuous plane, hehe! Now it seems that being small has its benefits."

  The Great Swordsman Chester said: "The development speed here is also very fast. I believe it will not be long before there will be a second city here."

  Consul Florian shook his head slightly, and said: "This kind of thing always requires the support of the Duke. By the way, someone accused your subordinates of reporting letters and put them in my office."

  Big Swordsman Chester raised his head in astonishment, then got up, picked up a letter from the desk, and said:

   "Let me guess, is it this one?"

  The Consul of Florian took the envelope, opened the letterhead inside, and read it briefly before saying:

   "You actually have it in your hand? Chester, what do you think of this matter?"

  The Great Swordsman Chester touched his chin and said jokingly:

   "If you can put this report letter in my office without saying a word, the whistleblower should not be yours, right?"

  Florian Consul hurriedly waved his hand to clarify himself, saying:

"How is it possible? If I had encountered such a thing, of course I would tell you face to face. I have been an old friend of the Marquis Luther for so many years. He sent the Luther Legion to garrison the Bailin plane to help me get through it smoothly. In this beast swarm, any conflicts will be revealed, and we will make it clear in person."

  He was worried that Chester Great Swordsman would make random guesses, and then said:

"The person behind this report letter is a local member of Wilkes City. His family can be considered a famous family in the Bailin plane. The local nobles in the Bailin plane are deeply rooted. Go to your desk, of course there is a way."

   "However, I wonder what you want to do with it?"

  He asked the great swordsman Chester again.

  Big Swordsman Chester smiled slightly, threw the letter on the table casually, and said, "Deal with it? What can such a report letter prove?"

"The beast tide is approaching. According to my idea, the northern border towns should implement the military control system immediately. Our current task is how to keep the beast tide to the north of the Thorn Mountains. Whoever dares to stretch out his hand at this time, I will strike Chop off his dog's paw, I don't care how long his hand stretched out before, but now I have to retract it."

  The great swordsman Chester pointed to a knife and made a gesture, and the aura of the second-ranked great swordsman was revealed at once.

  The Consul of Florian was obviously dissatisfied with his remarks, so he leaned over and whispered:

   "Don't tell me these things, you know I want to hear what you have to say!"

  The Great Swordsman Chester rubbed his eyebrows, and then asked Florian:

   "How long has it been since you saw Hathaway?"

Consul Florian seriously recalled, a little girl wearing a princess dress vaguely appeared in his mind. He only remembered that Marquis Luther liked to bring his daughter by his side, but he could no longer remember the appearance of that little girl. Yes, and said with a smile:

   "The little princess from Luther's family? It's been a few years. The last time I saw her, she was just studying at the Junior Swordsman Academy. Why did you say this?"

   "This Baron Suldak just got engaged to Hathaway." Great Swordsman Chester replied.

   "Hiss!" Consul Florian shook his hand slightly, almost spilling the coffee in the cup.

   Said with a wry smile: "This... is really low-key! Shouldn't you stay by your side as your deputy? Why did you send it over there? Or is it that Marquis Luther is not satisfied with this?"

  The Great Swordsman Chester waved his hand, and said to Consul Florian: "Not only that, Baron Suldak was personally selected by the Marquis, and even the title on him was jointly recommended by the Lord!"

   "I know what to do, this time I'll go to Congressman Golding!"

  The Consul of Florian drank the coffee in the cup, stood up and complained to Chester Great Swordsman:

   "I didn't expect that after so long, Marquis Luther still likes his way..."
