On the mountain road, by the time Wild Boar Knight and his comrades reached the tenth toll station, they were somewhat irritated.
What a troublesome territory, filled with countless toll stations.
By the time they encountered the twelfth and thirteenth toll stations, the Knight Regiment had grown numb to the process. The Wild Boar Knight had his deputy, the Bamboo Rat Knight, repeatedly pay the tolls with gold coins.
Upon reaching the sixteenth toll station, they had paid an astonishing fifteen gold coins in this wretched place.
Although one could say this wasn't a significant amount for Baron Moro, as his current iron casting business alone could bring in seven to eight hundred gold coins every month.
But for knights who had to pay this transit toll and didn't have a fixed territory, this was a considerable expense.
