With the generous treatment, the patrol team in Valley City was quickly formed. Not only did they recruit outstanding hunters from nearby, but also some powerful adventurers. At the same time, for better control and supervision, the defenders also transferred some personnel from the army to join the patrol team, and finally formed a patrol team of more than 230 people.
After the patrol team was formed, Jabs selected four outstanding "second-level" personnel as captains, commanding four teams respectively, and asked them to go out to patrol the city and capture the scouts.
In the first few days, these patrols were clueless and inexperienced. However, during an accidental operation, they captured a careless scout and tortured him. They were able to find out the pattern of his actions and gained some insights.
Soon, these patrols began to cause trouble and resistance to the Anti Kingdom's scouts.
On the streets of Valley City, another patrol team returned with a good harvest. On the carriage they towed, there were three tied Anti scouts lying on it. The three people had their mouths covered and placed on the carriage board like shrimp crackers, allowing the public to watch.
"Are these the scouts of the Anti people?" residents on the roadside discussed.
"It doesn't look much different from us."
"Don't say that, their accents and habits are completely different from ours. Did you know that Anti people only take a bath once a month and it's very smelly." Someone whispered, because there are still some Anti people garrisoned in the city.
"The same goes for eating. They especially like to add red garlic and green tomatoes. They like the weird sour taste."
The residents talked about the differences between the Anti people, and some picked up stones and threw them at the scouts when they saw them passing by.
Faced with such a move, the patrol members riding horses in front did not stop them, but waved proudly, showing their glory to the residents, and occasionally waved to some pretty girls on the roadside.
"Hey, see, it's these guys."
"We are doing bad things outside day and night, so we have to close the city and be trapped at home."
"Prince Jabs ordered us to get rid of these bad guys."
"This kind of thing is very easy for me, but I am even more grateful to His Royal Highness. This is also a part of his honor." The patrol member sitting in front spoke to the residents on the roadside.
While describing his heroic actions, he also praised the prince's wisdom. At the same time, he also demonstrated himself, attracting the admiration of many young people who were not familiar with the world.
"Hahaha, do you want to join the patrol team too?"
"No problem, train hard Breathing Technique. After a while, let me see your progress."
After returning to the city, the patrol team received an award from Prince Jabs and invited them to dine and celebrate in Castle.
The victory over the Anti scouts during this period greatly increased the confidence of the soldiers stationed at Valley City, and their previous suspicions about Prince Jabs were also dispelled.
Some people even began to think that if this prince really became the king in the future, they must perform well in the early stage to leave an impression on the other party.
The dawn of victory cheered up the Valley City army, but it did not have much impact on the Anti Kingdom army outside the city.
There are still many people coming in and out every day, bringing news from various parts of Regas. There are also several messengers from the far north and Anti Kingdom's mainland coming and going.
In the military tent camp, "Hellhound Baron" Kachis and "Viscount Mighty Bear" Nokton are discussing.
"Now the situation around Valley City has been almost detected. Not only that, the stations in other districts within Regas have also reported to us in letters and sent personnel to ask for instructions."
"With us here, the vacillating garrison began to calm down. I believe they will not seek refuge with the Regas nobles who have already lost power because of their trivial worries."
"If it hadn't been for the sudden attack of winter, this land that should have been under our control would not be so fragile now." Nokton picked up the large wine glass on the table and took a deep sip. A spicy feeling surged from his stomach.
"Haha, even if this is the case, it's not the turn of those gutter rats to come back again." On the other side of the table, a man with a long and narrow face smiled sinisterly.
"I guess the prince in Valley City is still dreaming about being a king in the future."
"Fabre is so stupid that he would take refuge in that prince who has nothing."
"Originally, if he had been ruthless, reported directly to his superiors, and mobilized the garrison and combat power of several surrounding cities, he could have easily captured the impoverished prince."
"It's good now. Not only do you have to pay tribute for the things you looted in Valley City, but you can't even keep the property in Anti's hometown." He shook his head, really not understanding why someone could be so stupid.
"I guess I think this boat Anti is going to sink, so I have to hurry up and find the next boat." Nokton on the side continued to pour wine.
"Some lords currently stationed in Regas think so too."
"Although they have not taken refuge with Regas, they are also actively preparing. If one day Anti fails, they will become independent and form a loose the Alliance."
"This is not possible." Kachis leaned on the back of the chair, folded his fingers, and leaned his elbows on the armrests.
"Your Majesty sent me here just to keep these guys in peace, so that they don't forget who their master is."
"Fabre may have betrayed you. It's just a good example to set an example for them and see what happens to those who betray you."
Hearing this, Nokton put down his wine glass.
"Have you decided yet? When will you do it? I'm tired of waiting."
"Since General Nokton feels a little tired, how about tomorrow." Kachis picked up the wine bottle and filled it with wine again.
"It will be tomorrow." Nokton directly decided on the attack time.
"Hey, there's something good to watch tomorrow." Kachis let out a sinister and weird laugh.
At the moment of the confrontation between the inside and outside of Valley City, in the east of Regas, a girl wearing a linen gray robe was riding a horse through the mountains, approaching the city not far away.
Sylutia first left Grani Mountains, then passed through the eastern border town, and gradually approached the hinterland of Regas.
Standing under the tall city wall, Sylutia opened his hood and looked up.
We have finally arrived in a bigger city, the girl thought to herself.
But looking at the flags at the top of the city and the soldiers' clothes, this should be where Anti Kingdom's troops are stationed.
The girl dismounted, then led the white horse beside her and walked towards the city gate.
The soldiers at the city gate interrogated people coming in and out, asking them where they came from and what they were doing in the city. The inspection was strict.
"And you, take off your hat." When Sylutia walked to the city gate, he was stopped by a Anti Soldier.
"Hello." The girl took off her hood, revealing her bright silver hair and dreamy appearance.
"You..." the soldier wanted to ask, but after seeing the girl's face, his voice was stuck.
"I am a gardener from afar, and this is my identity certificate." Sylutia took out a gardener badge certificate, which she obtained from Golden Radiance Plain after condensing the "third-level gardener" Class.
"I understand, please go over there." Although I didn't understand where this girl came from, the Aspect Power oppressive feeling she exuded was unmistakable at all, making the soldiers at the city gate particularly respectful.
Sylutia After entering the city, he calmed down and continued walking with his horse, exploring the streets of the city.
This is Dulin City in the east of Regas. It was also the fiefdom of a former count Regas, but now it is ruled by the aristocracy of the Anti Kingdom.
On the streets, Sylutia soldiers wearing dark red smocks and armor can be seen patrolling everywhere, and there are not many people talking on the road.
Fortunately, apart from this, no other disturbances occurred. The market here is still lively, with residents and businessmen trading here and talking about what happened elsewhere.
"Have you heard that the elites sent by the Anti Kingdom are currently stationed outside Valley City."
"It is said that the blood descendant of "Knight King" Regard is the only bloodline of the royal family. Prince Jabs is now Valley City."
"Many former Regas nobles are preparing to take refuge there."
"Prince Jabs? I rarely heard his name before. I feel like he is the youngest among the princes and has little experience or ability."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. What if he really becomes a king in the future?"
"Ah haha, you don't have to think about it. I think that prince will definitely not be able to defeat the Anti people."
"That's it, I'm going to work first. Today, the Anti noble in Castle has ordered a lot of meat and is going to buy it."
"I really envy those noble lords who can eat meat and drink wine every day."
"If you are envious, you can also go and gain military merit." A person on the side laughed.
"I, let it go, Breathing Technique can't even learn it, and can only be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield."
"It's better to just be an errand boy in peace. Anyway, there are no nobles from Regas, and there are also masters from Anti, so it won't delay things."
After saying that, a burst of laughter broke out in the market again, and then it slowly subsided and returned to the usual hustle and bustle.
Although the country has changed its appearance, to the ordinary residents here, the Anti people's rule is just a change of tax-collecting nobles, and there is no substantial difference.
Some former descendants of Regas Knight may be beating their chests and lamenting the demise of the country established by their ancestors. But for ordinary people, the deeds of "Knight King" Regard are already too distant and forgotten stories.
