Lord of War

The sky is gray and gray, which seems to indicate the coming heavy rain.

In the belly center of the original Panda collar, there is a small town with many entrances.

This small town has no name, and even on the map that the lord kept privately, it is just a red dot indicating that there is such a small town.

The town is not like Hongye Town, which sells very special red maple fruit wine, but the town is better than the surrounding land is fertile, and the climate is not as cold as the general southern places, so the town can drink wine every year. Three plants are planted, but the last planting after the autumn harvest is usually just a little extra. So before the Panda collar was abandoned, the townspeople usually planted a large number of crops that were relatively easy to sell during the spring plowing, and saved some money through sales for their own use, which was used to supplement the taxes in summer and autumn, while the crops in autumn The harvest is used to meet winter taxes.

Only the harvest from the last planting is what the townspeople can really keep. So usually this is a small addition, they will plant what they like and store it for a good winter. Of course, those who are capable and skilled will also use these small additions to grow and brew some wine or make some grains that can be stored for a long time, and then send them to the most prosperous town for sale.

But now, the townspeople in the small town no longer need to plan everything so tightly to live their lives.

Because since losing the rule of the lord, the townspeople no longer need to pay taxes to anyone, and all their harvests belong to themselves, and the surplus parts are a good choice whether they are used as spares or sold. . The most important thing is that they were very lucky. They didn't get into trouble with a mercenary group like Hongye Town, nor did the whole town become a purgatory like Dabronn Town.

The relationship between the townspeople and this mercenary group is really good. Many young and middle-aged people are even willing to join this mercenary group instead of reorganizing a so-called militia group. So when I heard that Hongye Town had a militia group, and when they fought against that mercenary group several times, these townspeople would laugh, even if the commander of their militia group was a veteran who had experienced two wars, so what ?

Isn't it the same as being crushed to death?

At this time, the townspeople would sincerely praise their mayor. If their mayor hadn't invited this mercenary group with excellent reputation, sooner or later, their town would be like Hongye Town. Like the town of Dabrone, it's really horrible.

As for the lord appointed by the Valkyrie of the Ryan Principality?

Hi, who cares!

There was no lord in the past year, isn't it the same way? But if it comes to it, they should thank the Valkyrie, because if it weren't for the Valkyrie, their town would not be so relaxed and free now.

There is a slight breeze, bringing a touch of coolness in the sweltering heat.

A young man wearing heavy armor and holding a thick-ridged epee in one hand broke in from outside the town. The heavy armor on the man's body was not the usual full-body armor, but consisted of upper body armor, shoulder guards, skirt armor, leg guards and The armor made of heavy boots, because this kind of armor is made according to the body shape, its protection ability is slightly worse than that of the general heavy armor, but it is lighter in weight, but even if it is slightly lighter, it can still be used. This set of armor still weighed over a hundred catties, not to mention the thick-ridged epee that was specially thickened and heavy for slashing in his hand.

But looking at the actions of this young man, he didn't seem to feel the weight of these objects on his body at all.

He walked like the wind, and several mercenaries with long guns were patrolling the town. When they first saw the young man, he was still at the gate of the town. When he first called out the deputy commander, the young man only left a back to face him. They are gone.

"Deputy Commander Frode runs so fast, so there must be some urgent matter?" A mercenary looked at the back of the young man and asked.

"It should be." Another slightly older mercenary pondered, "The last time I saw the appearance of the deputy commander, Dablon's gang of bastards came over. Could it be that this time it was Dabro What happened over there?"

"Shouldn't it be?" The third mercenary frowned. He had a scar on his face, but he didn't look hideous. They were completely defeated by us in the battle, how could it happen again?...Even if it is really necessary to launch another war, it is impossible to be at this time, and it is not long before the end of the last war."

However, if it wasn't a war, then what made their deputy head so eager?

Like a gust of wind, the man named Flood quickly crossed the entire town and came to a house.

There is nothing unusual about this house, it is the most sparse and ordinary dwelling in the town. It's just that since the mercenary group called Heroic Sword came here, this residential building has become much more lively, and townspeople from the small town often visit here every day. They didn't mean that there was any urgent matter, they just thought that when they came here to see the head and deputy head of this mercenary group, they would always feel more at ease in their hearts, so it became a custom after a long time.

"Captain!" Frode pushed open the door and strode towards the living room.

There were three people sitting in the living room at this time. In addition to the head of the Brave Sword, there was one who was the mayor of the town, and the last one was a wealthy businessman in the town. Since the sword of heroism came to this town, this wealthy businessman has become the logistics manager of this mercenary group. Naturally, he has the ability, because he alone can complete the replacement of the entire mercenary group. This overall planning ability can definitely be regarded as a talent.

When the three of them saw Frode rushing in, the faces of the three who were still chatting and laughing immediately became dignified.

"Dubrown's bastards are fighting again?" The mayor snorted, blowing his beard and staring at him. "Last time, I was defeated, so I dare to come this time!"

"No." Fred shook his head.

"It's not that Dabron's group is calling again, why are you so anxious?" The rich businessman looked surprised.

In fact, this can’t be blamed on the mistakes of these members, because the last time Floyd ran back, Dabron had already come one kilometer outside the town, and it was too late for the fortifications to be deployed, so he was forced to Hastily fought. In the beginning, the town was naturally at a disadvantage, because Dabron actually pulled out an army of nearly 2,000 people to attack the town. , Dabron was defeated instead.

In this battle, both sides suffered heavy losses.

Dabron's 2,000 troops retreated with only 1,000 troops left, and the Sword of Heroic's original scale of more than 1,000 troops dropped sharply to less than 600 troops. Even the townspeople also suffered casualties to a certain extent. cost. This, for the small town, is the real heartache, because the small town relies on the way of harvesting crops to develop, and suddenly many young and middle-aged people are reduced, which naturally affects the small town to a great extent. It's not completely abolished, but it will take at least several years to recover.

"Yes, it's a problem with Hongye Town." Frode took a deep breath, and after calming down his disordered breathing, he said, "Hongye Town has been declared to belong to the rule of the new lord. And, what about that Harbinder?" The mercenary group was completely annihilated by the new lord's army and the militia group of Hongye Town!"

"what!"

"You mean total annihilation? Not rout?"

The mayor of the small town and the wealthy businessman immediately made a sound of astonishment.

Although they haven't seen the Snake of Harbind with their own eyes, they have heard about it. Although the size of this mercenary group is much smaller than that in the northern region, it is said that many lords are still willing to hire this mercenary group. They are cold-blooded enough. The head of the Brave Sword once said frankly that if it is not necessary, it is better not to provoke this mercenary group. Combat power, but just defeating this mercenary regiment is really meaningless.

But now, this mercenary group was not defeated, but completely annihilated?

How is this possible!

"Where did you get this news from?" the leader of the Sword of Heroes, who was sitting in the middle of the hall, asked.

"From Hongye Town, it is said that the battle ended seven days ago. It seems that Heiyao'e Castle is also under reconstruction. Hongye Town has already started to organize a trade caravan. The first trader The team has already set off." Frode replied, "I got this news from those traveling merchants, and now many traveling merchants have started to run there. After all, Hongfeng fruit wine is still very popular."

The head of the Brave Sword frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

The mayor and the wealthy businessman looked stunned, looking a little confused. For civilians like them, the powerful shadow of the lord has completely penetrated into their bones. Even if there is no way to deal with them now, it doesn't mean that there will be no way in the future. Moreover, this lord was able to easily annihilate the Harbind's snake, which made them even more worried.

"Captain Aiwen, what... what should we do?" The mayor panicked.

Hearing the mayor's words, the young man named Aiwen was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Mayor, this town belongs to this lord in name. If we choose to disobey the order, it will be tantamount to rebellion." , this lord is fully qualified to use some extreme measures... This town is no better than Hongye Town, if it loses a large number of young and middle-aged laborers, this town will be completely ruined."

"So now, should we submit to the rule of the new lord?" When the rich businessman said this, his tone was a little unwilling.

He finally got a chance to show his talents with great difficulty. Under the current situation, he is the real No. The mayor of the town is not as powerful as him, which makes the wealthy businessman who was always said to be an upstart feel a burst of satisfaction. However, as if returning to the rule of the new lord, then all order will return to the track. At that time, he can only be his nouveau riche, and it is impossible to be as prosperous as he is now.

For some people, once their mentality changes, many things, opinions, and decisions will change accordingly.

Facing the rich businessman's words, Ai Wen did not choose to answer, even if he is respected now, he is just an outsider. Therefore, it is related to the future development of this small town, and Aiwen must not be overly arrogant, and all these can only be borne by the townspeople of the small town.

"I heard that the lord still has miracles, and he seems to be a god-favored person." Frode seemed a little ignorant, he didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the hall at all, "It is said that Harbinder would lose at that time." , it was because the lord showed some kind of miraculous power that Habinder was killed... and besides this lord, there seems to be a powerful magician."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall became even more oppressive.
