Chapter 372: Before the Red Arrow City Gate
There were two brilliant suns in the sky, and the blue sky was exceptionally clear.
On a rather rugged and narrow mountain road, several carriages covered with tarpaulins were slowly advancing under the guard of a team of mercenaries.
It can be observed from the corner of the tarpaulin that is occasionally blown by the breeze.
What was delivered in it were ordinary seasonings and salt, nothing special.
At this time, because the side of the road is an unobstructed cliff, it looks foggy and bottomless.
Therefore, the middle-aged businessman who was driving in the carriage at the head looked extra cautious, holding the reins of the old horse in front of him tightly with both hands, not daring to be careless for a moment.
On the contrary, the mercenaries walking around seemed a little relaxed, talking to each other in low voices.
Now they are already very close to their destination.
For a while, the creaking sound of the wooden carriage, the whistling sound of the strong wind from below the cliff, and the low-pitched conversation with the mercenaries came one after another.
It forms a very suitable and very common journey scene.
"Captain, after passing this mountain, we will reach the border of Chijian Town. We have been camping out in the wilderness for several days. We must have a good drink in a while!"
I saw a handsome male mercenary in leather armor with a trace of immaturity on his face, looking forward to the sassy female mercenary with a rather delicate appearance.
"The newcomer, you boy... Could it be that you are playing our captain's idea?"
On the other side, a middle-aged male mercenary with a square shield came up to him with a smirk on his face, and joked, "Our captain's nickname is a **** rose with thorns.
Not only its own strength, but it has reached the second-order peak level that people look up to, which can be described as extremely strong.
Moreover, you are still famous for a thousand cups of non-drunk, just you little tender eggplant, you should go back and practice for a few more years. "
"Senior, no...it's not what you think!"
Hearing this, the young and handsome mercenary quickly waved his hands, blushing and said: "I just think the captain is very sassy, and I want to be a professional mercenary like the captain!"
"Old Roque, you have been in the defensive position in our team for some years, right?
By the way, isn't it our captain who you aimed at at the beginning? Why didn't he succeed, and taught the newcomers a lesson? "
At this moment, a middle-aged priest with a few patches on his white robe raised his eyebrows solemnly and said.
"I'm talking about healing, don't talk nonsense, I... the youngest kid in my family can use soy sauce!"
Hearing this, Old Rock, who was holding a shield, blushed, and quickly explained: "I just want the newcomers to learn to retreat in spite of difficulties.
You know, our captain is the dream lover of many mercenaries! It is not a good thing to make too many enemies, of course, including love rivals. "
"Well, now is not the time for such jokes."
At this moment, the sassy female mercenary who hadn't spoken all this time frowned slightly and said, "Have you forgotten where our destination is?"
Hearing this, Rock immediately closed his mouth with a playful smile, leaving only the handsome mercenary with a confused face, and said blankly: "Captain.
Is this Chijian Town different from other towns? "
"New here, you don't know, this Chijian Town is a famous cruel place in the surrounding area."
Shaking his head helplessly, the mercenary priest with a patch on his white robe began to explain: "There is only one industry in this Red Arrow Town.
That is to breed a large number of violent magic bead monsters by the river, and then sell the magic beads produced by them to make a lot of profits.
However, because this kind of monster is extremely difficult to raise, no matter when collecting magic beads or feeding, you may encounter its fatal attack.
And the final fate is very obvious, and this kind of thing happens almost every day in Chijian Town. "
"It turned out to be like this..."
Hearing this, Qingxiu's mercenary swallowed involuntarily, and then said: "If that's the case, why don't you add some protective measures to reduce casualties?
Or, simply switch to a new industry? "
"Because the people in power here don't allow it."
A sassy voice sounded, and the captain of the female mercenary sighed softly.
Then he said: "As for the strengthening of protective measures, for those in power here, it is naturally because the cost and maintenance costs are too high.
Compared with these high costs, the death of some insignificant residents every day is obviously a perfect deal. "
Just when a few mercenaries said this.
Turning around, the convoy had already driven out of the mountain road and came to a spacious avenue.
At this time, the outline of a town not far away began to catch everyone's eyes.
Looking carefully, the city wall of this town is extremely high.
There are defensive measures similar to magic power grids all over it. From time to time, violent currents can be seen flashing across it.
This kind of magical power grid has almost no effect on practitioners above the first-order five-star level. It can be counterbalanced by mobilizing the energy in the body.
But for ordinary civilians, it has fatal lethality.
Therefore, the role of these magical power grids is naturally self-evident.
"This is not a town, it is simply a huge cage."
Looking at the black-armored soldiers standing neatly at the gate of the city, the handsome mercenary swallowed again involuntarily.
"New here, don't talk nonsense for a while, these soldiers are all murderous guys with extremely vicious methods.
Last time, I saw with my own eyes that a young couple who tried to escape from the town were directly impaled on the spot without even asking the reason. "
Shaking his head helplessly, Roque, who was holding a shield, lowered his voice and said, "What's even more exasperating is that there will be one more time.
A young mercenary about your age was shot and killed on the spot just because he had a few quarrels with the gatekeepers.
The corpse was hung at the gate of the city for several days. At that time, the joking voices of those soldiers are still echoing in my ears. "
"Besides, these people even have children... Ugh."
On the other side, the middle-aged pastor was halfway through speaking, and he clasped his hands tightly, put them in a prayer posture on his chest, and stopped talking.
"These soldiers are so arrogant and domineering, is there no one to take care of them?" Hearing this, Qingxiu's mercenary clenched her fists tightly, with an expression of resentment.
"Shh! The person in power here, standing behind him, is the Marquis of Rocky, who is a powerful presence in the surrounding area!
This kind of high-ranking and powerful figure is too late for ordinary people to hide. Who would dare to trouble him? "
Signaling the voice of the handsome mercenary, and then lowering it a bit, the middle-aged mercenary Roque said cautiously.
"It would be great if another big man could show up and kill all these hateful guys."
Under the bright sun, looking at the black-armored soldiers with hostile faces at the door, the delicate mercenary clenched his fists tightly, biting his lips and said.
After listening to Qingxiu's mercenary, Roque and the other priest mercenary couldn't help but shook their heads helplessly and said nothing.
Such innocent words can only be uttered by such a fledgling fool.
At this moment, only the captain of the female mercenary who was walking in the front had a look of anticipation in his bright eyes.
He muttered to himself in his heart: "I hope there will really be such a big shot."
Thinking of this, the captain of the female mercenary turned her head slightly, and said to the mercenaries behind her: "In short, this time the **** is over, let's look for the next mission immediately.
I don't want to stay in a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. "
"It's all up to the captain's orders." Hearing this, all the mercenaries behind him clasped their fists together.
That's it, a moment later.
This group of people soon arrived at the gate of the city.
At this time, there are already many other caravans queuing up at the gate waiting for inspection.
At a glance, they were all mercenaries and merchants transporting supplies just like them.
There is no doubt that ordinary travelers will not come to this notorious town.
And it can be seen from the magic power grid standing tall on the city wall.
The residents in the city obviously have no possibility of escaping.
"Forget you, a cunning old man, get out of here quickly."
After a while, after receiving a money bag respectfully handed over by a businessman.
The captain of the black-armored soldier, who was conducting an investigation, patted the businessman on the head roughly.
Then, while greedily putting the money bag into his arms, he brought a few black-armored soldiers to the next convoy, and continued to check.
Seeing this, the middle-aged mercenary Roque holding the shield, and the middle-aged priest mercenary next to him couldn't help but look at each other.
The convoy they were guarding was just behind this convoy.
What was delivered was just ordinary seasoning and salt.
By then, I hope nothing will go wrong.
You know, once these arrogant and domineering soldiers are in a bad mood, they will suffer accordingly.
Just when both of them were a little nervous.
There was a sudden commotion in the caravan ahead.
"Old guy, this girl has never appeared in your caravan before."
At this time, I saw the captain of the black-armored soldier pointing to a well-developed young girl next to him.
Then he asked a gray-haired old businessman, "Who is this person?"
"My lord, this is the old man's daughter, and it's the first time I've come out to do business with the old man, so it's strange to see her, and I hope my lord will see it clearly."
Hearing this, the old businessman bowed to respond, and immediately took out a big money bag tactfully, and handed it over respectfully.
After taking the money bag, the captain of the black-armored soldier weighed it in his hand, and he nodded slightly with a look of satisfaction on his hostile face.
Next, when everyone thought that the storm had passed.
The captain of the black-armored soldier first put the money bag into his arms.
Then, he ordered to the group of black-armored soldiers behind him: "You actually want to buy my lord with money, so it can be seen that that girl must be a secret agent.
Take it back to me, my lord will interrogate her in person in a while! "
Speaking of this, a wicked smile appeared on the face of the captain of the black armored soldier.
At the beginning, without concealing it, he looked up and down on the young girl's delicate body with bumps and convexities.
"My lord, I misunderstood! She is just an old little girl!" Hearing this, the old businessman hurriedly stood in front of the terrified young woman and began to explain.
"Old man, how dare you hinder my lord?!"
The captain of the black-armored soldier spat at an elderly businessman and threatened, "I think you're tired of working!"
After finishing speaking, the captain of the black-armored soldier suddenly burst out with a strong murderous aura, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and pointed it at the old businessman's old neck.
Seeing this scene, the mercenaries guarding the old businessman all silently lowered their heads, unable to think of resistance at all.
Their mission was to **** the caravan to its destination, and it was obviously not within the scope of their mission to contend with these murderous soldiers.
And the other mercenaries and merchants around turned their heads one after another, with unbearable but helpless expressions on their faces.
They can't afford to provoke these arrogant soldiers.
You know, standing behind these soldiers is the Marquis of Rocky who can cover the sky with one hand!
Seeing the obedient expressions of the crowd around him, the captain of the black-armored soldier had a murderous smile on his face.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his sword without hesitation, and was about to slash at the old businessman.
"stop!"
At this moment, a resolute voice sounded, interrupting the actions of the captain of the black-armored soldier.
Hearing this, not only the captain of the black-armored soldiers, but also the mercenaries and businessmen around them looked around in surprise.
It was that handsome young mercenary who made the sound.
After a moment of dazed state.
The first to show panic was the middle-aged mercenary Roque and the middle-aged priest next to him.
These two are veteran mercenaries, so they naturally know the consequences of doing so.
At that time, not only this handsome new mercenary will be beheaded on the spot.
Moreover, even they may not be able to escape the responsibility!
"My **** ~ How did the captain recruit such a stunned young man?"
Thinking of this, Rock felt like crying, and he tugged on the sleeve of the young mercenary.
With a playful smile on his face, he said to Captain Heijia: "My lord, this kid was talking to a villain just now, and I hope you will forgive me for interrupting my lord's execution of his official duties."
However, the young mercenary broke free from Rock's arm, and instead of retreating, he stubbornly took a step forward.
"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've met such a tough guy, I wonder if I can survive my full blow?"
Seeing this scene, the captain of the black-armored soldiers laughed back angrily. The long sword in his hand reflected a cold light, and immediately led a group of black-armored soldiers over.
However, at this moment.
A slender figure exuding an imposing manner slowly stood in front of the captain of the black-armored soldier.
