Chapter 493

Chen Fang and his three men broke the wind and cut the waves, and drove the mud boat through the mud. Because of the mud rain and other bad conditions, they didn't encounter the obstruction of the mutant beast on the road. In addition, they were very lucky. After three days and three nights of driving, they finally stepped on the muddy road and skidded the mud boat to the boundary of a medium-sized human city in the afternoon of the fourth sunny day.

Ignoring the surprise and surprise of passers-by and adventurers, Chen Fang and his twin sisters pass through the gate of the city and enter the city.

This city is called Kara. After several times of mud rain, all the trees and buildings are covered with mud stains. The streets are full of muddy water without ankles. Many bear children are playing with each other, like mud monkeys. The laughter is mixed with the yelling and scolding of adults. It is estimated that they will go back and have to be hanged.

Chen Fang three people into the city, in a hurry to find a hotel, regardless of the price is ten times higher than usual, pay to take a bath, eat and sleep, in order to relieve the fatigue brought about by a few days of incessant sleeplessness.

Chen Fang woke up the next morning. After washing up, he went out of the room and knocked on the twin sisters' door next door. The three came to the hall under the hotel.

Business depression, not many guests, bored boss lying in front of the counter in a daze, the waiter to take care of the guests and chat with his companions.

Chen Fang found a place to sit down, ordered food, and listened to the conversation between the two waiters.

One of the two waiters, who looked like a young man in his twenties, said to the waiter in his thirties.

"In recent months, the business is so bad that we can't do it any more. The boss seems to be planning to close the shop. We have no food to eat, so we envy those awakened people who can at least go out of the city to earn a living."

"It's not that there's no place to go." Said the older waiter.

"Have you found your home? My colleagues have introduced me for so many years. "

"Yes, I can. I'm afraid you don't dare to do it."

"It's better to have nothing to fear than to have no money to buy food and starve to death. What kind of work do you say?"

"My eldest sister-in-law and her son-in-law, who have been communicating with each other, are working in the city Lord's mansion. They say that the city Lord's mansion is going to set up a city protection army, and they are going to start conscription in a few days."

Chen Fangyi listens in to fan's doubts. Does this boyfriend have any special meaning? Why emphasize it? A friend is a friend and a boyfriend?

"Well, I don't dare to do the work of licking blood with the edge of a knife and hanging my head on the waist of my pants. If I don't have that weight, I will die of cannon fodder. Are you going to go?" The young waiter shook his head and asked.

"I can't do without it. There are three young children and two old people in my family. My wife and I are seven people. The money we got from the work here and the money we got from the work can make a living. Now our wife's work is gone, and the boss here can't earn much money. The wages we get are small. The price of food in the city is going up one price every day, and the savings are almost used up It's over. "

"I may not have much money to join the city guard army, but I heard that welfare is to ensure that the family members of soldiers can get the minimum amount of food every day. I have to go to this point, too. Men don't have to give up their lives when they are in trouble." The older waiter said helplessly.

"You work hard."

The young waiter patted his companion on the shoulder. He was alone. To tell the truth, he didn't feel deeply about his companion's words, but it didn't prevent him from understanding the helplessness in his partner's words.

"Don't talk about me, I guess you can't escape." The older waiter said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" The young waiter didn't understand.

"The Lord of our city has reached an agreement with three nearby cities to form an alliance to jointly resist the possible Crusade launched by the parliament, you know." The older waiter whispered.

"Most people probably know about it. What does it have to do with me?" The young waiter was puzzled.

"The news I got was that in order to resist the parliament, the number of conscripts under the three alliances is very large. If the number is small in the early stage, it is very likely that compulsory conscription will be adopted. At that time, as long as they live in the city, each family will have at least one person. Do you want to go or not?"

The young waiter immediately shook his head.

"If you can't kill me, I'll fight with the parliament army. I still have my life?"

"If you don't go, the whole family will be driven out of the city. It's also a dead end."

"Why, do you want me to run now?"

"To run there, you are not awakened. Now the intercity subway is paralyzed. To go to the wild is to die."

"What can we do? If we can't leave, we feel that we are doomed. It's said that the parliament will punish the city that betrays the Federal Parliament by slaughtering the city. Even the innocent people won't let it go. If we can't escape, we don't want to suffer. Do you think the city leader is mentally handicapped and wants to fight against the Federation? It's difficult for him to think that with the temporarily assembled army, he can resist those regular forces in the Parliament? At that time, he can leave with a slap on his ass, and we will all follow him to death. "

"Well, what can you do? After all, it's not like there used to be an intercity subway to take to other cities."

They both sighed, and then they were called to do something by their idle boss.Chen Fang, who had finished eating early but didn't leave the table, discussed the news.

"The city leader is so tiger that he wants to organize the army to fight against the parliament. How can he think? Isn't he the same as red earth city? Do you want to be a local emperor Chen Fang said.

"Master, you don't know, they are all forced." Said Luo Luo.

"Forced? How to say it. " Chen Fang asked.

"During the cold spell in the polar region, the Council didn't care about anything. It only took care of a few major cities, ignored the calls for help from other cities, and decentralized the power to let the City owners take care of themselves. In fact, it let them live and die on their own, which has made many city owners feel dissatisfied," Luo Luo said

"After the cold wave, the Council has not forgotten to collect taxes from various cities. It not only demands that the taxes owed during the cold wave period be made up, but also unreasonably demands that none of them be reduced. If they do not pay all of them within the specified time, they will replace the city owners. You say which city can make up the taxes according to the current situation."

"What's more exaggerated is that the parliament also sent an investigation team to examine the governance of the City owners during the cold current in the polar region. If there is a phenomenon of people living in poverty in that city, we should immediately pursue the responsibility. Several City owners were arrested and put into prison for this, so as to quell people's anger."

Wucao, it's shameless. In order to keep the city under control, the parliament gave it to the city master, and then showed selflessness to consolidate the reputation of the people. This operation seems to be OK, but does it really treat the world as a fool? No wonder others want to fight back, Chen Fang thought.

"If the Council wants to do this, it will be against anyone. But the Council has an army. Are these city masters not afraid?" Chen Fang said.

"There are only 30% of the federal troops that Parliament can command, and the rest are local garrisons. During the cold current in the polar region, some of these troops were taken over by the City owners of the region, and some of them directly occupied the city and became their own boss. Therefore, most of those City owners set up offensive and defensive alliances and were not afraid."

"And some people have taken the lead. Naturally, those city masters are not afraid." Said Lolo.

"Take the lead? Red soil city Chen Fang asked.

Lolo shook his head.

"Before, the declaration of autonomy of red soil city was just an introduction, and the city leader could not be a leader."

"The real leader is the five race royal family in the south."
