Chapitre 127: Chapter 126
The soldiers were at the castle gate, all in their equipment ready to move. They stood in a neat formation and looked at Lucas with sharp eyes.
The citizens of Sedona City's citizens were around. Some were worried, some were happy, and some were excited. Currently, their sons, fathers, friends, or relatives were going out with Lucas to fight the horse thieves and to bring back the glory they deserved.
Lucas looked at the soldiers and raised his voice. "Everyone. We all know that horse thieves will come and plunder our food and wheat, and even your wives and children. Now, I, Lucas, you city lord, the noble of this territory, will take you to slaughter the horse thieves. Are you scared?"
Sedona City had been attacked by Carter's knights that pretended to be horse thieves in the previous year. Carter had sold Sedona City to a merchant, and the horse thieves plundered Sedona City and killed the merchant.
Many of the people present had red eyes as they thought about the horse thieves that had entered the city the previous year and robbed them.
"We are not scared."
"We are not scared."
The soldiers yelled loudly, and it was as if there were hundreds of people yelling even though there were only 60 of them. This intimidated the people around them, making all of them take a few steps back.
The merchants were especially scared, and fear even showed in their eyes. A few merchants that had been scheming something immediately put the thought away after seeing the soldiers. 'This isn't like those poor small cities where we can do whatever we want.'
Joe, who just arrived, saw what happened, and his pupils shrank. He realized that the soldiers weren't just ordinary people, they weren't knights but were more or less than knights.
One must know that knights represent the strength of a noble. A baron with thirty knights was already considered pretty powerful. And yet, there were thirty of these "knights" in front of Joe. The cost wasn't something that any baron could afford to cover, even a viscount would have to be careful with his/her expenses when having that much knight in their service.
Joe understood that there would be plenty of soldiers left to guard the city, meaning that Lucas had the strength of a viscount, and possibly even higher.
This was the effect that Lucas wanted this intimidation effect to scare those that had malicious intentions, so that he could leave the city without having to be worried about it.
Lucas waved his hand, and all of them immediately stopped yelling. Lucas was extremely satisfied with this, and he had achieved his goal of raising the morale of the army before they left the city. "Then, let's go and bring back the glory we deserve and deliver justice for the crimes of horse thieves."
"Long Live Lord Lucas!"
"Long Live Lord Lucas!"
The corner of Lucas's mouth rose as he walked towards the carriage and stood on the carriage steps. He waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go."
The soldiers turned around and marched toward Sedona City's gate. Their steps were rhythmic, their faces and eyes were sharp and cold, and their weapons were glinting with cold light. The surrounding people immediately got out of the way as they looked at the soldiers in awe.
Lucas, who was still standing on the steps of the carriage, said, "Uncle Ben, "I'll leave Sedona City to you."
"I will defend it to the death." Ben saluted Lucas.
Lucas nodded and turned his head to look at the castle. He saw two silhouettes at the window of the study room, and although he couldn't see them clearly because it was a bit far away, he could still see them waving at him.
Lucas and Mina waved back and then got into the coach box.
Lucas rang the bell, and the carriage set off. The War Wolves surrounded the carriage, protecting it as they moved forward together.
In the carriage, Lucas pulled up the curtains to look around, and he immediately saw several people dressed in good clothes. He instantly knew that those people were the merchants that had just come to Sedona City.
Lucas nodded in satisfaction when he saw the fear in the merchants' eyes. That fear was what he wanted to see. It might not last long, but as long as he returned in triumph five days later, then it wouldn't matter.
Joe saw Lucas and was shocked. 'He's the noble of Sedona City? This young? How is it possible? Rental carriages, steel coins, public restrooms, and public bathhouses were all invented by this young noble?'
Joe was in disbelief. Not even the scholars in the capital had such amazing ideas, and yet, a noble in this remote place was able to come up with them. 'What would happen if a genius like him entered the capital? What if he entered the royal court? Would the king see his talent and potential? Would he ascend to the rank of a grand duke with his talent? Or would a princess take a fancy to him and have him become a prince? Princess Lucy is pretty talented as well. Something interesting might happen if those two meet each other. Or will he be killed by others?'
"Harsh lands produce outstanding people." Joe stroked his beard. "It seems that I will have to stay in Sedona City for a few more days than I planned. It'd be a shame to not get acquainted with such a talented person."
"Yes! Let's stay a few more days. I want to eat buns and use the public restroom and the public bathhouse every day." Dale said in excitement.
"Sure." Joe agreed with Dale's decision because he needed time to know about all the things happening in Sedona City and what he can use for his own benefit. He knew that it wouldn't be long before people copied the city lord's idea. He needed to know about all the policies which the city lord had implemented in this city.
…
The army soon left Sedona City and reached the dock. Lucas looked at the citizens that were working hard to build the dock and nodded in satisfaction. He believed that it wouldn't be long before a large dock would finish being built.
"Young Master, let's board the ship." Aiden shouted as he got up from the driver seat of the carriage.
"Ok."
Lucas got down from the carriage. Someone else would take the carriage back to the castle.
He looked at the ships in the river. The four largest ships were medium-sized transport ships. They were 20 meters long, 5 meters wide, and 4 meters tall.
"These ships are still too small." Thinking about the sizes of the large ships, Lucas was disappointed when he saw the medium-sized ships.
The large ships were 50 meters long and 12 meters wide, almost twice that of the medium-sized transport ships.
"Seems like I'll have to build a ship myself in the future." Lucas thought of the ships he had seen in the Pirates Of Caribbean movie. And the Black Pearl ship of Jack Sparrow. Lucas was a fan of Jack Sparrow's ship and other ships shown in movies. They were made of wood but were 130 meters long. It was something that when created, would shake the whole world.
