"Yes, I am proud to defend my lord, and his property." The guards on the side nodded in agreement.
Instead, it was the steward, Kao, who was worried and prayed silently.
The manservant, Wakan, consoled, "Don't worry, Lord Ashena is powerful, and the Goddess of Winter will bless the lord."
Ka'ao rolled his eyes in dismay, "What do you know, I'm worried about what will happen when Lord arrives at Maple Leaf City, you have to know that Maple Leaf City also possesses the Chosen of God."
"Huh? But... We're not going to war, but trade, so we shouldn't be fighting, right?" Wakan was bluffed by Kao and his voice was much smaller, "And with your lordship's charisma, I'm sure there's no problem."
Fielder's performance for many days had already convinced the servants.
"So you're just the manservant, Wakan, you have a lot to learn." The butler revealed a smug smile and showed off, "Maple Leaf City's official belief is the God of Love and Acacia, their Divine Chosen, the 'Absolute Dancer', is a Divine Chosen who was promoted from the land of the smokestacks, and there are countless nobles who have been mesmerized by her and are willing to offer all their wealth and... Bodily fluids."
"Huh? There's actually such a thing."
Wawa was confused, he blushed just thinking about it.
"Otherwise, do you think that Maple Leaf City, a remote city on the border, can be so affluent, with several magical medicine formulas and irreplaceable commercial status, is it hard to rely on Baron Maple Leaf's personal ability? Let me tell you, the last time our lord went to watch a female slave go to the toilet! That's sick! If the local lord had let the dancers exert their divine power on Lord Field, with your self-control, surely... Ahem, say no more."
In Caor's opinion, Fields was totally there to hunt for beauty, and might put on a show of having fun here and there.
Vaakan was silent, and could only pray silently, hoping that the beloved lord-sama, would not be corrupted by evil.
"Wait, am I talking too much again." Kao suddenly felt that something was wrong, if his words were known by the lord or Ashina, he was afraid that he would immediately turn from a butler into a horseman, no, it might be even worse.
While looking at Vaakan's harmless expression, Caor was sweating and started to worry that Vaakan would rat on him.
Fielder actually didn't want to go farther to trade in Maple Leaf Territory, but the Bull Baron's stupid son, 80% of them were still shutting the gate of the fortress, and he himself plundered the Bull Territory, Fielder didn't want to take a gamble.
The baron of Maple Leaf City was a great tycoon, relying on the magical medicines made from the territory's magical plants to make a lot of money, and Field believed that the Black Pearl Wine would sell at an excellent price.
"My lord, do you have to go in person?" Ashena saw Fields making preparations, rubbing her shining longsword again and again, she sighed helplessly, this is the Lord Lord who has to do everything himself, he has to make a trip to the High Castle Province in person, "In fact, just leave it to me, the road is too dangerous, and I will guard your property with my life to ensure that there will be no accidents."
"That's what I'm worried about, who wants you to protect gold coins with your life, gold coins can't buy divine choice." Feld patted Ashena's head, causing a peach-colored blush to well up on the latter's face, Feld patiently explained, "In addition, I need to personally visit Baron Maple Leaf, the products of the Night Curtain Collar in the future will need to be digested by that wealthy and powerful noble."
There was one reason that Feld didn't say, and that was his own ability to detect the monsters around him, without Feld around, the caravan would run into a wave of corpses over and over again.
Feld lit the fog lamp and hung it on the carriage, and the caravan set off.
The hooves of the warhorses pounded on the road, accompanied by Ashena, the looting cavalry, three guards, twenty slaves in charge of carrying the goods, and the maid Shearer, who was in charge of taking care of Field's food, clothing, and shelter.
Leaving the Starry Night Winery, it was as if the crowd had immediately entered hell, with twisted plants and ghostly shadows everywhere, and it seemed as if a demon flew out at any moment.
The slaves, on the other hand, were looking around in fear, and although they were responsible for carrying the goods, Field still equipped them with spears for defense.
"This road is so broken." Feld was resistant to the corrupted pavement with small tentacles, they would slow down the movement of the wagons, "We'll have to repair the road when we have the chance, it's best to open up the merchant road, and build a concrete road connecting the Nightfall Collar directly to the Maple Leaf Collar."
Before he could sigh twice, a large number of red skeleton symbols began to fly close to him.
"Watch out, they're coming." Fielder let out a deep breath.
"Awwww~"
Ashena's giant wolf growled and quickly rushed forward, violently swinging the lance down, instantly bringing up a rain of blood and strange screams, carrion corpses prostrate and fall down like mowing wheat, red and white fragments of human body splattered all over the ground.
The dragon breed wolf then flung its head, and a ghostly blue flame swept out, vaporizing large swaths of carrion.
The rest of the cavalry quickly drew their swords and guns, and raised their weapons as hard as they could, launching an onslaught towards the corpses. Even though they had only been trained for a short period of time, the subhumans were natural cavalrymen and quickly grasped the essence of horseback riding.
"For Lord Feld!"
"Impact!"
The cavalrymen crushed up.
On Feld's mini-map, the red markers disappeared at a rapid pace, while more red dots began to surround them.
"Come on come on!" Fielder's fighting spirit was high, and he clanked out his longsword.
The Maple Leaf Fortress was likewise one of the Empire's border fortresses, with extremely strong defenses, not only did it have crossbows and stone throwers, but it was also equipped with a large number of mage towers, and from afar, there were floating magic crystals everywhere.
When the crowd crossed the gate of Baron Maple Leaf's Border Fortress, the world opened up before them, no longer a continuous gray fog, but a bright and beautiful world.
"Oh my god, those knights actually came from the gray fog." Soldiers with local accents pointed at the cavalrymen who were covered in black hooded robes, even the warhorses were wrapped in black hooded robes, it looked extremely scary, "This is too rare, they must be adventurers, or the imperial investigation corps."
"Look at their bodies, they are covered in the tainted blood of corrupted creatures."
"Close the door promptly, don't let the monsters in the gray mist tail in." The officer cleared his throat, "Welcome to the Maple Leaf Territory, happy spending."
"Thanks." Fielder didn't expect to come in so smoothly, he had prepared a bag of gold coins as buying money, but in the end, he didn't use it, Fielder breathed a long sigh of relief, "Whew~ I thought I would be given a hard time."
The goods pulled by the worn-out horse, on the other hand, were ten barrels of black pearl wine, plus a box of magic scrolls, which were so old and worn out that Field was worried that if he didn't get out of it again, after a while, he would only be able to use it to wipe his ass.
"If we can open up the merchant road, there's no need for me to make the trip myself." Along the way, Fields avoided countless large-scale corpse tides and annihilated several small ones, otherwise it would be impossible to arrive at the High Castle Province without any problems.
It cost almost nothing, and only half a cart of grain tipped over in the pit.
