Chapter 172

The gray sky seems to indicate the coming heavy rain.

In the center of the former panda collar, there is a small town with a large scale and a large population.

This town has no name. Even on the map hidden by the Lord, it is just marked with a red dot to show that there is such a town.

Unlike Hongye Town, the town has very distinctive red maple fruit wine to sell. However, the town is better than the surrounding fertile land, and the climate is not as cold as that in ordinary southern areas, so the town can plant plants three times a year, but the last planting after the autumn harvest is just a small addition. Therefore, when pandaling was not abandoned at the beginning, the villagers usually planted a large number of marketable crops during spring farming. After leaving for their own use, they saved some money through sales to help pay taxes in summer and autumn, while the harvest in autumn was used to pay taxes in winter.

Only the harvest of the last planting is what the townspeople can really keep. So usually with this little addition, they will grow what they like and store it for a rainy winter. Of course, those who have the ability and technology will also use these small additives to make some wine or dry food that can be stored for a long time, and then send them to the most prosperous town for sale.

But now, the townspeople of the town no longer need to calculate everything so tightly.

Because since the loss of the Lord's rule, the townspeople no longer need to pay taxes to anyone. Their harvest completely belongs to themselves. The surplus parts, whether for standby or for sale, are a good choice. Most importantly, they had good luck. They didn't quarrel with a mercenary regiment like Hongye Town, nor did the whole town become a human purgatory like dabron town.

The relationship between the townspeople and the mercenary Corps is really good. Many young people are even willing to join the mercenary Corps rather than reorganize a so-called militia Corps. So I heard that Hongye town played tricks on a militia regiment, and when they fought with the mercenary regiment several times, these townspeople would laugh at it. Even if the commander of their civilian regiment 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 will sincerely praise their mayor. If their mayor had not invited this highly rated mercenary corps, I'm afraid their town would be as miserable as Hongye town and dabron town sooner or later.

As for the Lord appointed by the female warrior God of the Principality of Ryan?

Hey, who cares!

I haven't had a lord in the past year. Isn't that what happened? But if they say so, they would like to thank the female martial god, because if it were not for the female martial god, their town would not be so relaxed and free now.

The wind blows slightly, bringing a trace of cool in the stuffy heat.

A young man wearing heavy armor and carrying a thick ridged heavy sword broke in from outside the town. The heavy armor on the man's body is not the general full-body armor, but a suit of armor composed of upper armor, shoulder protection, skirt armor, leg protection and heavy boots. Because this armor is made according to the body shape, its protection ability is slightly worse than that of ordinary heavy armor, but its weight is lighter, However, even if the weight is slightly reduced, the armor still weighs hundreds of kilograms, not to mention the thick ridged Epee in his hand, which is specially thickened and heavier for swinging and cutting.

But looking at the young man's behavior, he didn't seem to feel the weight of these objects.

He walked like the wind. Several mercenaries with long guns were patrolling the town. When he first met the young man, he was still at the gate of the town. When he just shouted out the deputy commander, the young man left only one back to face them.

"Deputy commander Floyd ran so fast that there was no urgent matter?" A mercenary looked at the young man's back and asked.

"It should be." Another slightly older mercenary mused, "the last time I saw the deputy commander like this, the group of bastards of dabron came over. Is it an accident over dabron this time?"

"Shouldn't it?" The third mercenary frowned. He had a scar on his face, but he didn't look ferocious. "We fought with the rabbits of dabron before. They were completely defeated by us in that battle. How could we do it again Even if we really want to start a war again, it can't be at this time. It's only a long time since the end of the last war. "

But if it wasn't war, what made their deputy commander so eager?

The man named Fred, like a gust of wind, quickly crossed the whole town and came to a house.

This house is nothing unusual. It is the most sparse and ordinary folk house in the town. However, since the mercenary regiment called heroic sword came here, the folk house has become much more lively. People from small towns often visit here every day. They didn't say there was something urgent. They just wanted to come here to meet the head and deputy head of the mercenary regiment. They always felt much more secure, so it became a custom after a long time.

"Captain!" Fred opened the door and strode towards the living room.

At this time, there were three people sitting in the living room. In addition to the head of the heroic sword, one was the mayor of the town, and the last was the rich businessman of the town. Since the brave sword came to this town, the rich businessman has become the logistics manager of this mercenary regiment. Naturally, he has the ability, because he alone can complete the armament replacement of the whole mercenary regiment. This overall planning ability can definitely be regarded as a talent.

When the three saw Fred's rush in, the three people who were still talking and laughing immediately became dignified.

"The darbrorn bunnies are calling again?" The mayor snorted with a beard and eyes, "I lost the battle last time, and I dare to come this time!"

"No." Fred shook his head.

"It's not the Da brohn group calling again. Why are you in such a hurry?" The rich businessman looked surprised.

In fact, these people can't be blamed for making a mistake, because the last time Fred came back, dabron had already arrived one kilometer outside the town. As a result, the fortifications had no time to start, so he was forced to rush into the battle. At first, the town fell into a disadvantage, because dabron actually pulled out an army of nearly 2000 people to attack the town, but later, with the concerted efforts of the heroic sword and the town people, dabron was defeated.

Both sides suffered serious losses in this war.

In the end, there were only about 1000 people left in dabron's 2000 troops, and the original scale of more than 1000 people of the heroic sword was sharply reduced, leaving less than 600 people. Even the town people paid a certain degree of casualties. This is the most painful place for the town, because the town develops by harvesting crops and suddenly reduces many young adults, which naturally affects the town to a great extent. Although it is not completely abandoned, it will take at least several years to recover.

"Yes, it's the problem in Hongye town." After taking a big breath and calming the disordered breathing, Fred said, "red leaf town has been declared to be under the rule of the new Lord. Moreover, the habinder mercenary regiment was completely annihilated by the army of the new Lord and the militia regiment of Hongye town! "

"What!"

"You mean total annihilation? Not defeat? "

The mayor of the town and the rich businessman immediately made a startled voice.

Although they have not seen the snake of habind, they have also heard of it. Although the scale of this mercenary regiment is much smaller than that in the north, it is said that many lords are still willing to hire this mercenary regiment because they are cold-blooded. The head of the heroic sword once said frankly that if it's not necessary, it's better not to provoke the mercenary regiment. It's not that they can't fight, but it will be very difficult. Their 500 people can play the combat effectiveness of thousands of people, and it's meaningless to just defeat the mercenary regiment.

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

How is this possible!

"Where did you get the news?" The head of the heroic sword sitting in the middle of the hall asked.

"It came from Hongye town. It is said that the end of the war was seven days ago. It seems that black swan castle is also in the process of reconstruction. Hongye town has begun to organize trade caravans, and the first trade caravan has set out." Floyd replied, "I got the news from the connoisseurs. Now many connoisseurs are running there. After all, red maple wine is still very popular."

The head of the heroic sword frowned, as if thinking about something.

The mayor and the rich businessman were stunned and seemed a little distracted. For civilians like them, the powerful shadow of the Lord has completely penetrated into their bones. Even if there is no way to take them now, it doesn't mean there will be no way in the future. Moreover, the Lord can easily annihilate the snake of habinder, which makes them even more worried.

"Captain Elvin, what... What should I do?" The mayor panicked.

Hearing the mayor's words, the young man named Elvin was stunned and then lost his smile: "mayor, this town belongs to the Lord in name. If we choose not to obey orders, it will be tantamount to rebellion. The Lord is fully qualified to use some extreme means This town is no better than Hongye town. If we lose a lot of young and middle-aged labor, this town will be completely abandoned. "

"So now, should we obey the rule of the new Lord?" When the rich merchant said this, his tone was somewhat unwilling.

He finally got a chance to show his hands and feet. Under the current situation, he is the real third person in the whole town, second only to the head and deputy head of the heroic sword. Even the mayor of the town has no higher power than him, which makes the rich businessmen who were always said to be upstarts feel a great satisfaction. However, just like returning to the rule of the new Lord, all order will return to the track. At that time, he can only be his upstart, and he can't have the scenery he has now.

Some people, once their mentality changes, many things, opinions and decisions will change.

In the face of the rich businessman's words, Elvin did not choose to answer. Even if he is respected again, he is just an outsider. Therefore, it is related to the future development of the town. Elvin must not be replaced. All this can only be borne by the villagers of the town.

"It's said that the Lord still has miracles. It seems that he is a god dependent." Freud seemed to have a few tendons. He was completely unaware of the strange atmosphere in the hall. "It is said that habinder would lose at that time because the Lord showed some miraculous power, and then he killed habinder And there seems to be a powerful magician around the Lord. "

For a time, the atmosphere in the whole hall became more depressed（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
