Chapter 845 Return to Qixing Territory

At noon the next day, Weilin stroked Xiaohong's mane and looked at the watchtower in the distance.

"That's the County of Luensha?"

"Yes." Hearing her husband's question, Xuemiya smiled and answered, "With these watchtowers as the boundary, the west is the territory of Qixing Territory."

Ordering the army to stop advancing, Weilin dismounted and came to the watchtower.

The base of the tower is naturally formed, with only the upper part showing signs of human construction.

In less than a moment, fifty-one soldiers came out of the watchtower and lined up neatly in the open space.

The middle-aged officer pounded his chest and saluted, saying loudly: "My Lord, Captain Gail of the 13th Watchtower Squadron salutes you."

Fifty soldiers placed their hands on their chests and bowed their heads to show respect.

Although it has been ten years since Weilin left Qixing Territory, his sculpture always stands in the most prominent position in the territory.

Whether it is an old man who is about to be buried or a child who is just learning to speak, they all recognize the appearance of their lord.

Weilin nodded slightly in return.

This Watchtower Squadron was of average strength. The captain was a high-level bronze warrior, and under him were fifty soldiers, two mid-level bronze warriors, three low-level bronze warriors, seventeen high-level warrior apprentices, twenty-one mid-level warrior apprentices, and seven low-level warrior apprentices.

Except for the bronze warriors, eighty percent of the remaining warrior apprentices are very young.

Not surprisingly, these young-looking fighters were newly recruited in recent years.

"Gail."

"My Lord, please give me your orders." The middle-aged officer answered loudly.

Seeing the middle-aged officer twitching a little, Weilin smiled and said in a gentle tone: "Don't be nervous, I'm just a little curious about the border watchtower system of Luensha County. Please help me solve my doubts."

"My Lord, it is my honor." The middle-aged officer showed respect and began to explain the information he knew. "The border of Ruensha County is 179 kilometers long, bordering the Baronies of Kainat, Hayden, Ogden and Wilco. There are watchtowers in total, divided into two battalions, namely the Ruensha West Watchtower Battalion and the Ruensha East Watchtower Battalion, with a total of troops stationed there."

"Who holds the command of this force?"

"According to the order of Grand Steward Baird, the Ruensha County Watchtower Force will temporarily accept the command of General Cassius of the Praying Star Camp. Your approval is needed to establish clear command authority in the future."

Weilin knocked on the outer wall of the watchtower with his hand. It was very solid. Although this mud and sand was shaped using earth magic, the material itself also played a big role.

It seems that in the ten years since I was away, Qi Xing has achieved a lot of new research results.

Led by the middle-aged officer, Weilin entered the watchtower and inspected its internal structure.

The entire watchtower covers an area of 300 square meters and is divided into five floors, with a total usable area of 1,500 square meters.

The first layer is used to raise horses and facilitate the transmission of information.

The second and third floors are resting places for soldiers.

As for the fourth floor, it is used to store important supplies such as food, armor, weapons, feather arrows and spare parts for three-bed crossbows.

The fifth floor is an open-air platform, which is convenient for observing the situation in the distance.

Except for the first floor, the other four floors have anti-breaching structures and shooting holes.

Standing on the top of the watchtower, Weilin looked at the continuous farmland and asked, "How long have you been stationed here?"

"In reply to your Lordship, I was transferred here from the Qixing County City Defense Army in August last year to serve as a squadron leader. I initially served in the Blue Shah Camp. Due to my limited talent and my old age, I took the initiative to retreat to the second line in exchange for the opportunity for my eldest son to join the standing army." The middle-aged officer lowered his head and answered without hiding anything.

"Which unit is your eldest son serving in now?"

"Qixingying Camp." The middle-aged officer answered, "Now he has become a high-level bronze warrior, much stronger than me."

Weilin patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Hahaha, that's right. Like father, like son. I believe your family will become more and more prosperous."

"Thank you for your compliment, Lord."

The middle-aged officer looked excited and said excitedly.

After encouraging the soldiers stationed here, Weilin led his troops to move forward.

Once you enter the territory of Runsha County, you will find that both the roads and villages are neatly built.

Compared to other territories, the civilians busy in the fields have more smiles on their faces, and they talk to each other about how much wealth their families will gain after paying taxes.

Especially those who have family members serving in the military can pay half the tax, which makes others envious.

Seeing this, Weilin couldn't help but smile.

Back then, soldiers did not have to pay taxes, but with the passage of time and the development of the territory, this law was naturally changed.

After passing through the relatively desolate Ruensha County, Weilin finally arrived at his old nest - Qixing County.

Outside the east gate of Qixingling, Baird led officials of all ranks to wait there.

Ten years have passed and Baird has a lot more white hair.

When the lord is away, all matters, big or small, have to go through his hands, and he has to be busy.

Looking at the army in the distance, Baird made up his mind to go to Xingyue Castle to ask for the people back after some time. If they didn't give them to him, he would block the door every day, even if he had to sleep at the castle gate, to get them back.

The hard work over the years has caused this young man in his seventies to have a lot of gray hair.

The Golden Knight has a lifespan of three hundred years. Although it does not reach the maximum lifespan, it is still two hundred and seventy or two hundred and eighty years.

For the sake of his future life, he had to get more talents from the lord.

At the moment of imagination, the army is getting closer and closer to Qixing City.

"stop!"

At the command, no one was allowed to leave.

Weilin patted Xiaohong and asked her to move forward.

When he was a hundred meters away from Baird, he dismounted and walked up quickly.

This time, I have prepared a big gift for Baird, and blocking the door will become history from now on.

"My Lord, welcome back."

Baird bowed and saluted, speaking respectfully.

Weilin stepped forward and helped him up, saying, "My great hero, thank you for your hard work."

"No pain, no pain, as long as you ..."

Seeing this, Weilin was quick to step forward and hug Baird, whispering, "My chief steward, I have prepared something good for you this time."
