Chapter 17 Broken Weapons
After returning from the tavern, Kino read again all night, focusing on the history of the Sun King.
2,700 years ago, the Sun King died at the hands of aliens. The entire world fell into more than 2,000 years of war and strife. Dynasties were constantly changing, and there were hundreds of short-lived regimes.
Some scholars also wrote a literary masterpiece called "Thousand Years of Darkness" based on this theme, describing the turmoil and collapse of more than 2,000 years.
It was not until the year 2188 of the Divine Calendar, that is, after the "Eight Kings' Conflict" 512 years ago, that the world gradually became stable. There was now the Doguland Kingdom, the rival Far Eastern Dynasty in the East, and the continent.
The rest of the forces in the north, south and across the ocean.
The world almanac has also changed from the "God's Fall Calendar" to the "Huo Yao Calendar".
While reading the history books, Kino still had a question:
According to the description, the Sun King's strength is unfathomable. Just by being drunk, his body can burn up an endless lake. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the incarnation of a god.
Even so, the Sun King still died in the hunting of the Samsara Team.
So, how strong do you need to be to stop all the reincarnation teams?
Judging from his triple shackles, in addition to awe, respect and fear with unknown effects, whether it is exchanged for weapons or enhanced genes, its subsequent power will become more and more fierce, but is this really enough?
What was the evolution channel of the Sun King back then? How far has it evolved?
Is the Samsara team that killed the Sun King the strongest in the Samsara world? Is there a team stronger than them?
When the sun rises on the 11th day of Divine Blessing in the year 512 of the Fire Calendar, it means that there are 11 days left before the reincarnation team attacks.
When the first ray of the morning sun passed through the window and fell mottled on Kino's face, he realized that he had thought too far.
Starting to think about the Sun King before the first wave of reincarnation invasion has even begun is no different than a roadside beggar fantasizing about being the richest man in the world.
Kino put down the history books and picked up the documents about Xilin Town.
By compiling the roster, he saw that the available troops in Xilin Town were 3 centurions - that is, 300 men.
For a town with a population of 5,000, this number of garrison troops is already very impressive.
You know, in the feudal era, a military-civilian ratio of 1:10 was considered a typical example of militarism.
Considering that Xilin Town is an important border town, this ratio is not an exaggeration at present.
Having more soldiers is also a good thing, at least it gives you more leverage when facing reincarnation invasion.
But when checking the soldiers' equipment, Kino didn't think so.
In the armory, he looked at the rotten and cracked leather armor and rusty weapons, and couldn't help frowning: "What kind of garbage is this?"
The quartermaster was an old man, wearing a loose, patched robe. He muttered: "This is our ordnance, my lord."
Kino's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly: "The border guards of a major city use this kind of equipment? The royal family is really poor."
The quartermaster sighed and said: "The border defense funds issued by the royal family are actually very sufficient, but it is difficult to reach Xilin Town directly. People in the middle are embezzling people at all levels. In the end, if 20% is in our hands, it is considered a conscientious one. These equipment have already been
It’s the best we can buy.”
Although it is only the first wave of invasion, the enemy is still the Samsara Squad after all. Not to mention the destruction of the world and the collapse of the heaven and earth, they can just exchange a handful of Gatling Tutu Tutu, and the 300 soldiers are just paper.
Even if there is no heavy machine gun at the beginning, even if you have a small pistol, it will be difficult for ordinary soldiers to deal with it.
Don't forget, the Samsara Team doesn't need to worry about the funeral, they can just teleport away after completing the mission without any scruples.
While Kino was deep in thought, the one-eyed dragon arrived just in time.
Kino's moon coins have been completely cleaned. He gave Cyclops a 5% commission reward, plus 5% tax. He finally recovered 1,800 silver moons out of 2,000 silver moons, a sum of money with certificates and completely legal.
After getting the Silver Moon, Kino went to find Paladin: "I have to go out to do something today and may be away for a few days."
"Where are you going?"
"Do not ask."
"yes..."
"You handle daily matters for me. If you're not sure, just leave it alone and wait for me to come back."
Kino personally gave the instructions, and how could Paladin dare to neglect: "I obey. You can leave in peace, and I will help you handle all your official duties."
After finishing his instructions, Kino put the moon coins on the carriage and headed to the "Twilight City" 400 miles away from Xilin Town.
This is a city built in a valley. It got its name because of the beautiful sunset here.
Dusk City is the main city in the true sense, with a population of more than 200,000, a standing army of around 5,000, and 11 important border towns including Xilin Town, all under its jurisdiction.
Civil officials like Kino are also under the jurisdiction of the "administrators" of Twilight City.
Starting from the level of the main city, the official system of Doguland began to differentiate. It no longer had multiple responsibilities for one person like the civil affairs officer, but divided management.
The position of administrative officer is responsible for daily affairs and personnel changes.
In other words: whether Kino can be a civil administrator or not, the administrative officer has the final say.
The border defense funds of Xilin Town were exploited. The administrators of Twilight City were definitely involved, and other officials were probably also involved.
The road from Xilin Town to Dusk City was a highway, and carriages could run at high speeds. There were inns along the way where horses were constantly changed. It took Kino about 12 hours to finally arrive at Dusk City.
He showed official documents, was interrogated by soldiers, and entered the city.
Before leaving for the administrative residence, he opened the Triple Shackles interface and exchanged the 40 points of respect he had reserved for something...
...
Twilight City Administrator's Bedroom.
The light was very dim, and a fat man was lying on the bed with a young girl under him.
The little girl sobbed because of the humiliation and pain, but did not dare to make a loud sound.
This feeling of destroying flowers is the most enjoyable thing for torturers.
The fat man grabbed the wine glass on the bedside and drank the wine dripping with succubus tail liquid - succubus tail liquid has a strong yang-restoring effect.
After drinking the wine, he felt a surge of heat rising up, as if he had transformed into the God of War.
He held the little girl down and was about to make any move when a clear voice suddenly sounded in the darkness: "Administrative Officer, a man who makes a girl cry is not a good man."
"Fuck!!!" The sudden voice almost made the administrator pee. The little administrator turned into a little administrator, and even the succubus tail liquid lost its effect.
"Whoa..." The curtains were half-opened, and sunlight poured in from the window, falling on the figure sitting on the chair, illuminating those dreamy amber eyes.
The administrator took a closer look and became furious: "Damn it, Kino Van Helsing! When did you come in?!"
Kino: "I've been there since you closed the curtains."
The administrator was stunned and closed the curtains? That was more than ten minutes ago. This guy has been in the room for so long and he didn't notice it?!
Kino sat there quietly, clearly existing, but no one could feel the slightest breath. Even if you stared directly at him, there was a strong sense of distortion, like an illusory ghost.
Kino stretched out his slender fingers and pointed at a delicate pastry on the coffee table: "Excuse me, where did you buy this pastry? It looks very sweet."
The administrator yelled: "What a bullshit! You can eat it if you want. What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"I don't eat what others have eaten." Kino withdrew his eyes from the tooth marks on the pastries and looked at the administrator and the little girl under him expressionlessly, "Everyone has their own reasons for not wanting to eat, or
