Chapter 603 Daily life at the edge of the wasteland

In the camp built by the Tifeng people, in the palace living room shaped by magic and decorated with tapestries, oil paintings, wall paintings, etc., Gowen and Rosetta Augustus sat on both sides of a golden oak table, reviewing the documents placed in front of them together. The knights as witnesses stood behind their respective lords, watching all this with solemn and solemn expressions.

Gao Wen's gaze briefly swept across Rosetta Augustus and saw the thick black-haired monarch Tifeng looking at the Chinese paper with a serious look on his face. Then he withdrew his gaze, with a hint of undetectable smile on the corner of his mouth, and his gaze slowly swept across the paper in his hand.

Opening trade routes and setting up trade bases. Cecil promised to actively promote the construction of roads in the eastern part of Baisha Dunes and pave the railway. If negotiations with Ansu East are not smooth, the road will be developed in the small plains on the north side of the Dark Mountains. This area is a recognized "unmanned land" and complies with the provisions of "permanent right to explore". Therefore, the additional costs will be borne by the Principal of Cecil...

The low tax rate agreed by both parties and the encouragement policy for merchants...

The first cotton textile procurement plan initiated by Tifeng includes unprinted and dyed cotton cloth, medium-grade colored cloth and high-grade various fabrics...

Alchemy potion from Tifeng, artificial crystal purchase order...

The purchase orders of the "magic train" also from Tifung and the formal orders for the purchase intention of the "magic train" will be sent to Tifung to observe personnel and actually understand the concepts and physical objects related to the train, and Rosetta Augustus personally signed the letter...

In addition, there are a series of long-term terms and agreements regarding trade and trade, as well as the oath of both parties to sincerely promise not to violate the contract.

With his eyes moving all the way to the end of the document, Gao Wen raised his head with a smile and looked at Emperor Tifeng opposite the table: "This will be a historic moment. Perhaps we will create a new concept of trade, which will give birth to many new industries, new professions, national prosperity and people's abundance will come from this, and its beginning... is on these light and thin papers."

"The paper is thin and the contract is heavy," Rosetta said a proverb from Tifeng, with a smile. "To be honest, I never thought we would sign such an agreement under such circumstances, on this wasteland border, in a temporary meeting... but I know that Ansu people have a saying: Seizing opportunities is like seizing life, and I think we will seize an opportunity in time now."

The two leaders representing their respective forces smiled at each other, and then exchanged documents under the witness of the witness, signed their names on both documents and printed their own seals.

A high-level mage wearing a starry robe immediately came to the table. Two flat and smooth mitral thin plates were floating in front of the mage. Countless shiny runes floated between the mitral plates, as if they contained countless mysteries and knowledge.

According to the necessary process of the extraordinary world, when two extraordinary people and representatives of the two forces enter into such an important contract, they must use magic power to record and backup more symbolically. If necessary, pray to the gods of their respective beliefs and pray for the testimony of the gods.

But usually, except for the church saints who can really induce oracles, the binding power of this "god witness" is quite limited, and it is more like a symbol.

"Are you going to ask for witness from a particular god?" Rosetta Augustus glanced at Gao Wen and asked calmly.

While asking questions, relevant historical materials emerged in his mind: According to historical records, Gao Wen Cecil himself had no clear belief.

"The gods are very busy, so there is no need to bother them with this matter," Gao Wen smiled and asked back, "What do you think?"

"God is really busy..." Rosetta nodded slightly and smiled, "Then let the ancestors and the mysterious lady Milmina witness all this."

The mystery lady Milmina, the magic goddess Milmina, is not only in charge of the magic field, but also as a witness to all mysteries and hidden knowledge. In the case where the contract does not rely on specific gods to witness, this "mystery lady" can usually be regarded as a "natural witness". Of course, when making pure commercial contracts, merchants usually regard the business god "Baofal" as a "natural witness", but because the power of the business god is limited to the fairness and performance of commercial terms, when it comes to contracts that contain complex political terms and national levels like today, this god in the business field is not as "application" as the "mystery lady".

This is knowledge in the field of theology. Gao Wen does not believe in God, but he also understands it.

The advanced mage who was in charge of the ceremony outlined the symbolic mark of the mysterious lady Milmina on two mitril silver plates. Then Rosetta Augustus placed his hand on the document he had just signed and took the oath in the name of the ancestor of the Augustus family. Gao Wen also placed his hand on the document that belonged to him and asked the ancestors of the Cecil family to testify that the older than him.

Finally, under the urging of the magic ceremony, the contents of the two documents were printed on the Misilan plate and received blessings and solidification of elemental power.

For ordinary people and most not-so-powerful extraordinary people, the "contract" that has undergone ritual infusion has practical power. The defaulter will undoubtedly suffer a backlash of magic and may even suffer a certain "divine punishment". However, for people like Gowen and Rosetta Augustus, they have extremely powerful power themselves, and the "contract" is signed in the name of the country. The binding power of ritual magic is usually limited to face...

This is true even when Francis II and Rosetta Augustus signed a peace agreement in the Contracting Castle.

Everyone knows this.

Putting away the original version of the contract and the "Misins Vow" that should be kept, Gao Wen and Rosetta held each other in their hands, their eyes fell on each other, with similar smiles on their faces, and they spoke in unison: "For peace and prosperity."

The knights and guards standing around the table applauded and celebrated this memorable moment.

At this moment, a rapid bell suddenly rang out of the palace, and the greetings and politeness that should have been received after signing the document were suspended in advance.

A familiar feeling surged from the bottom of his heart. Gao Wen clenched his fists gently, and Rosetta listened to the rhythm of the bell with his ears, frowned slightly, and shook his head and said, "It seems that even the monsters wandering in the wasteland want to witness this special moment. This wave is earlier than before."

While speaking, a Knight Tifeng in black armor ran into the hall and reported loudly: "Your Majesty! The distorted body is close to the defense line! There are about two hundred in number, and the direction is southwest!"

Rosetta Augustus nodded slightly: "I understand, deal with it as usual."

Then he glanced at Gao Wen: "If you are interested, we can go to the city wall together."

Gao Wen nodded immediately: "Of course."

In the inner world of the safe kingdom, the attacks of the aberrant are a thriller story in the mouth of the bard, accompanied by exaggerated descriptions and romantic plots, telling the clichéd content of the knight saving the princess. However, outside this black forest, on the only line of defense on the boundary of the wasteland, the attacks of the aberrant and monsters are a daily routine.

On the city walls in the southwest section of Tifeng Camp, soldiers wearing black armor and combat mages wearing magic robes were already on the verge of war.

The powerful crossbow cannon was pushed between the battlements, and the rune stones flashing with magical glory were set in the back of the city wall. The soldiers were adjusting the angle of the crossbow cannons, and the mages were communicating the magic power stored in the rune stones and adjusting their own state. Heavy soldiers wearing special steel armor formed a battle formation on the city wall between the crossbow cannons. They were in groups of three, one raised a shield in front, and one held a steel spear in the rear to prepare, and one left was holding a long sword in his hand, and he was at any time to support him.

Gao Wen and others and Rosetta Augustus climbed the city wall together. Amber looked into the distance and saw that in the southeast, on the corrupt plain outside the magnificent wall, a group of red monsters wrapped in unknown smoke and clouds were rushing towards them. The smoke was rolling beside them, and the earth under their feet was corroding more and more severely.

Gao Wen noticed the Tifeng soldiers who were ready for battle and orderly, noticed the crossbows and combat rune stones they used, and noticed their unique "three-person battle formation".

Faced with distorted bodies whose innate qualities far surpass those of ordinary people, these Tifeng soldiers and mages seemed extremely calm. It is obvious that they have dealt with this situation more than once. The unique "three-man battle formation" is also an effective means to deal with distorted bodies based on the standards of cold weapons.

Guards using heavy shields can resist the attack of distorted bodies in a short period of time, and the spearmen have the opportunity to severely damage monsters with obvious targets. Swordsmen can circumvent the weaknesses of distorted bodies when their comrades entangled with monsters, or support the shield players who are trapped in hard battles. The battle formations of three-person teams are distributed in a staggered manner, which can ensure that even if the distorted bodies climb onto the city wall in large numbers, they can be delayed, divided, surrounded, and gradually resolved, and can support each other at any time.

All these soldiers carry spare crossbows. Although this weapon has very limited damage to the distorted bodies, as long as it is sufficient in scale, it is still enough to threaten monsters that use ranged magic as long as it is large crossbows on the wall and the magic of combat mages.

Such an army is equally effective against humans. Even if it is large enough, plus the assistance of city-level shields, and there are enough combat mages, they can be considered a huge threat when facing Cecil's magical corps.

Just as Gao Wen's observation and thinking, those distorted bodies entered the attack range of Tifeng people.

The commander on the city wall gave the order, and the battle broke out instantly.

The city defense crossbow cannon, which had already accumulated strength, made a dull sound of "bangbang", which was heavy and huge, enough to fly the crossbow "arrow" severely damaged by a low-level extraordinary knight in an instant, "smashing" a blood mist in the distortion. Among the crossbow arrows that were continuously fired, there were also spells such as fireballs, lightning, ice, etc. from the mages. The mages wearing combat robes stood next to the rune stones at the back of the city wall, extracting additional magic power while continuously creating fatal attack effects, bombing the monsters in the distance. As long as the mage's mental power is unstable and the casting efficiency decreases, there will be a reserve caster to replace them and continue to maintain the spell suppression on the city wall.

On the plain in the distance, the monsters that were red all over their bodies, constantly roaring or whispering wildly began to fall down one by one, but some of them continued to move closer to the city wall with their powerful vitality. Some of them raised their hands high, and a group of energy arrows containing terrible corrupt power took shape, and after a brief delay, they blasted violently at the Tifeng camp.

A layer of misty magic shield rose from the city wall, blocking the corruption energy of the distorted body. With the slight shaking of the shield, the distance between the attack and defense was further shortened. The soldiers of Tifeng who used strong crossbows as sub-weapons immediately bowed and turned the crossbows, and the crossbow arrows blessed by magic effects such as holy water were then poured on the remaining monsters like rain.

It seems that these attackers cannot even climb up the city wall. The "three-man battle formation" of the Tifeng people does not even have the chance to raise their shields and draw their swords. After all, there are only a few hundred. In this extremely close to the wasteland of Gondor, this is already a very "easy" attack.

Gowen and Rosetta Augustus stood quietly on the city wall, watching the desecration and corrupt monsters turn into wreckage on the plain one by one, and quickly enter a state of evaporation and dissipation. Neither of the two of them wanted to do it themselves, and the people around them seemed very calm and indifferent.

This is just an "daily" attack. On this land, this attack happens every few days. Whether it is the Tifeng people or the Ansu people, I have long been used to it.

While watching the monsters gradually being eliminated, Gao Wen's intuition was suddenly touched. He raised his head and looked at Rosetta Augustus standing next to him.

The Emperor Tifeng was quietly looking into the distance. His gaze had crossed the battlefield and the aberrant monsters that were about to be completely transformed into wreckage. He was staring in the direction of the wasteland of Gondor and staring motionlessly.
