Chapter 152 The Marquis of Antolia arrives at Dorin City
. As we all know, there is almost no business in Antolia.
That is to say, with the addition of Antolia Bank, the CBD of Thorn Territory no longer only has small vendors such as bakeries.
However, this does not mean that the Jimena family does not even have a caravan.
As early as before Leon received the title, the Jimena family had a small caravan under its command. Its main task was to import hard-earned food for Antolia from nobles everywhere. , thereby filling the food deficit in this land.
And now, with Leon Jimena becoming the owner of this territory, the number of caravans controlled by the Jimena family has increased several times.
Especially after Leon received the inheritance of the Bravis family, the business travelers who had been members of the Bravis family were transferred to Leon's hands without any hindrance.
As a businessman, the purpose of serving the nobles is to make money.
Now that the Braves family has fallen, they will be seamlessly under the control of the Jimena family, and there will naturally be no discomfort at all.
If it were other caravans, Leon might not be too concerned about being trapped in the Principality of Norton.
But...
what is currently on the border of Antolia is the branch that has been loyal to the Jimena family since the Jimena family took control of Antolia!
The members of the caravan are almost all veterans who have retired from the Antolian mercenaries. They are the most trusted group of people by Leon!
The purpose of their trip was to use the first batch of clothing made from elk and goose feathers in Antolia to open the market of the Principality of Norton through the western part of the kingdom!
Even if this caravan is destroyed, it will not cause a blow to Antolia's military strength.
But as the Marquis of Antolia and the patriarch of the Jimena family, Leon would never watch those veterans who had devoted their lives to the Jimena family die in a foreign land.
"Stan!"
Therefore, almost as soon as he received the news, Leon issued an extremely serious order to Stan:
"When selecting dozens of good mercenaries from Antolia, you must understand The situation of the caravan stranded in the Principality of Norton!" "
The members of that caravan are all veterans who have retired from the Antolian mercenaries. As long as I am the leader of the Jimena family, I will never give up on any of them. Soldiers who have contributed to Antolia! Even if they have retired!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, the mercenary leader who usually seemed so cheerful couldn't help but become serious.
He doesn't care whether Leon's actions are to win over the hearts of the Antolian mercenaries, he only knows that all the Antolian mercenaries are family members who fight side by side on the battlefield!
What's more...
although the mission given by Leon was to go deep behind enemy lines without any support from Antolia itself, the Antolian mercenaries under Stein were not unprepared.
As early as when Leon returned to Antolia, the young marquis gave important instructions on the future planning of the Antolia mercenaries.
He pointed out that comprehensively strengthening military governance is a profound change in the Jimena family’s military philosophy and methods, and is an inevitable requirement to accelerate the construction of an Antolian military force with the Jimena family as the core.
He emphasized that the Antolian militia is the shield of Antolia, and the Antolian mercenaries are the spear of Antolia.
As the direct leader of the Antolian mercenaries, Stann must fully carry forward the Antolian tradition of hard work and hone the Antolian mercenaries with the ability to win battles as the core of the core and the focus of the key points. For a powerful military force that can achieve victory in various environments and under various adverse conditions!
To put it simply, Antolia’s regular military tasks must be undertaken by Antolia’s militia.
The mercenaries of Antolia will serve as the sharp knives and blades in the hands of the Jimena family to perform more difficult and dangerous special tasks.
During this time, Stein has been faithfully carrying out Leon's instructions.
Not only has the screening process for applying to become an Antolian mercenary been made more stringent, but the daily training has also been ruthless.
This is the only full-time mercenary force in the entire land of Antolia!
"When you return from Dorin, the mercenaries from Antolia will definitely bring back more news from the Principality of Norton."
Standing in front of Leon, Stann promised emphatically.
Yes, Leon plans to take a trip to Dolin.
As the largest gathering place of dwarves in the southern part of the Andal Kingdom, this town controlled by the dwarves does not follow the laws of the Andal Kingdom and is more similar to a country within a country located in the southern part of the Andal Kingdom.
The two brothers Hillman and Sherman, who are now loyal to the Jimena family, are both from Dolin.
As for the purpose of Leon's visit to Dolin...
it is very simple. One is to build the shadow manipulator, and the other is to reduce the losses caused by alchemy.
Although Leon had the complete blueprint for building the Shadow Manipulator, after letting Sherman see it with his own eyes, the dwarf craftsman who had always been proud of his abilities had to admit his helplessness. .
The so-called profession has specialization.
Sherman was good at repairing buildings, and Hillman was good at making weapons.
It is true that when Sherman took over the drawings of simple machines such as looms, he could easily build them. However, facing the shadow manipulator with extremely complex internal structure, Sherman had always been quite confident. dwarf, but he could only ask Leon to hire someone else.
It's not that he doesn't look like a catcher, but he's really professional and doesn't fit the bill.
As for Leon's second purpose, the loss of alchemy, it naturally resulted from the further spread of the gold rush.
Antolia's alchemy craftsmanship is extremely limited. Even though Leon was a science student before traveling through time, he had no way to deal with such an unpopular technology.
No exams! What can he do? !
Therefore, it was precisely in order to solve the problems faced by Antolia today that Leon naturally turned his attention to Dorin located in the south of the kingdom.
In this different world with a lot of magical power, the dwarves possess the most exquisite alchemy technology and alchemy skills.
Just like what Sherman said to Leon before, the dwarves are natural craftsmen.
Although the dwarves love to brag, but...at this point, Sherman did not brag at all. They are indeed the most skilled craftsmen in the world.
