Unknown Knight

Ogbai Roger is recognized as the leader of the new generation of the Ogbai family. This is after he met Aix. Before he met Aix, he was just a marginal figure in the Ogbai family.

Before, he had to endure the scorching heat, drink bitter water, and eat rough food every day. In this shabby place, Zion City, he couldn't even buy fine flour to make white bread, which made him miss the affluent life in his hometown of Gronia all the time.

In order to leave this damn place as soon as possible, he tried every means to make money, just to get the support of the elders who were in charge of the family, so that the family could transfer him away from this godforsaken place as soon as possible.

It was only the arrival of Aix that completely gave him hope of changing his fate. This nobleman from afar was very generous. He first made him a lot of money in the business of buying and selling materials and slaves, and later he simply bought about one-third of the total number of slaves that his family transferred in Zion.

This move immediately changed the inherent impression of Roger in the minds of the family elders and made him a hot figure in the family. Just relying on the money he earned from doing business with Aix and the commission from selling slaves, his income reached the level of the top few people in the family.

Originally, he had no special ideas, just wanted to make more money for the future and to leave this hellhole sooner. But once, Aix invited him to a banquet at Fort Standstill to discuss the purchase of slaves, which completely changed his original plan.

At the banquet, Rogge ate delicious food he had not seen for a long time and drank refreshing nectar, which made him feel as if he had returned to the extravagant life in his hometown of Gronia. He felt that living here was not a sad thing after all.

Especially when he stayed in the VIP lounge to rest, he never thought that there could be such a cool and comfortable place to live in Zion that was not afraid of the heat. X's behavior of digging the ground and living in a cave actually had such a wonderful use.

From this point on, Rogge had different ideas in his mind. The reason why the Ogebai family was a local transcendent force was mainly because the families far away in Gronia looked down on this wasteland and only regarded it as a transit station to reduce the loss of slaves. Rogge also only regarded himself as a marginal figure in the family, and was only thinking about making money to smooth relations so that he could return to the core area of ​​the Gronia family as soon as possible.

The situation is different now. He has been here for many years and he knows about the spice business of the Harrisi family. If all the reclaimed land in Aix is ​​planted with spices, then this can become a prosperous industry for the family. In addition, the standing castle built by Aix, this unique living environment, is not much less comfortable than Gronia's hometown.

So Rogge became more creative and began to use the money he earned from Aix to secretly ask someone to recruit his own mercenaries from Gronia. In total, he hired nearly a hundred people, bringing the number of soldiers in the fortress to more than a hundred and fifty people together with the original soldiers.

These people alone are definitely not enough. As he gained more money, his ambitions also expanded. He was determined to develop this place as his own base, so he thought of using the power of his family to realize his idea of ​​occupying this place as his base.

"We have recently discovered a new abundant water source here. If all of this water is used to grow spices, it can bring a lot of income to the family every year.

My nephew doesn't ask for much. I just hope that when the family occupies this place, you can appoint me as the governor here. When I get any benefits, I will not lose out on my uncle's share.

In the last battle of Zion City, Fort Standstill did not gain any advantage. The army led by Lord Humamu from Berbera almost broke through the city. It is said that they suffered heavy losses. Now they should be in a weak state. It is the best time to capture Fort Standstill. If they wait until Aix has gained a firm foothold, it may be difficult for the family to find such a good opportunity again..."

Roger wrote to a powerful elder of the family, who was his main target for communication. Roger was very dissatisfied with Aix's rise, and always felt that Aix seemed to have risen by borrowing his influence. He felt that it was natural for him to seize Aix's foundation, and he had no psychological burden.

The powerful elder of the family also felt uneasy about receiving the money. While he sneered at Rogge, a blood relative from a nearly side branch, for overestimating his own capabilities and trying to transfer back to Gronia from the remote place of Zion City to enjoy a good life, he felt uneasy about the gold coins he received. After all, they were 200 golden coins, and the salary he received from the clan was only 30 gold coins per year. Now, it was he who asked to stay in Zion City for a long time, so it would not be a big deal to help him make this happen.

So the powerful patriarch stated the pros and cons at the family meeting, describing Aix as an ambitious bandit. The existence of Fort Standstill seriously threatened the city of Zion, an important slave trade node of the family. For the safety of the family's most important business, it was very necessary to send troops to destroy the forces of Fort Standstill.

With his strong efforts, the Ogebai family, the first slave-trading family in Gronia, decided to send troops to the Standing Castle of Aix. Their family was worthy of being an old family in Gronia. They dispatched four new-style kirks and twelve single-masted sampans, which were loaded with two-thirds of the family's elite armed forces, more than 500 professional soldiers and more than 100 family navy.

The number of this army is already quite large, and most towns can be easily captured, not to mention the earthen fort that Rogge mentioned had suffered heavy casualties after a series of battles and had only been built for less than half a year. The family descendant Ogbai Liano, who led the troops, agreed without hesitation after receiving this commission that was almost a reputation-boosting task.

The direct descendant of this family, Ogbai Liano, was indeed quite capable. After arriving at the waters near Zion City, he did not arrogantly launch a direct attack. Instead, he calmly sent a sampan over and asked Roger about the situation of Fort Standstill in detail. It happened that the city received news that Fort Standstill was going to attack Zion City again.

After receiving the news, Ogbai Liano thought it was a rare opportunity, so he secretly hid his fleet near a deserted island dozens of miles away and waited for the opportunity.

In order to facilitate communication, he also gave Rogge a precious firework purchased from the distant Eastern Continent so that he could use it for emergency communication. He also agreed with him that once Aix sent troops to attack Zion City, he would immediately release the fireworks as a signal to notify him so that he could lead his troops to directly raid Fort Standing, so that he could easily capture the new city.
