Chapter 19: Yorktown

Yorktown is located in the southwest of the Nightsong Forest, in the middle of the Eastern Continent, and to the south is the vast and fertile Biping Plain, which is the largest human dependence of the Eastern Continent.

Most of the townspeople of Yorktown make a living from farming and hunting, and during the busy season, they will be diligent in farming, and in the off-season, they will go to the nearby Nightsong Forest with axes and bows, and occasionally hunt some wild beasts to sell them to support their families. There are even some skilled guys who simply give up farming and become full-time hunters, and they earn more than those who farm every month just by hunting, which makes the residents of the town greedy, and for a time there is quite a martial wind. Coupled with the influence of the occasional passing mercenary, the townspeople of York are particularly strong.

It's just that the fierce is fierce, these townspeople all practice martial arts, although the moves and routines are dazzling, but there is no perfect fighting spirit training system, although there are many people in the town who are self-taught to stimulate the fighting spirit, but it is difficult to make a big breakthrough under the dual restrictions of talent and environment, so many people only stay at the third or fourth level of the fighting spirit level and it is difficult to improve.

Somehow, a huge brown bear has always appeared near Yorktown recently, and many villagers who went out have died at its hands, according to the living villagers, the brown bear is nearly three meters tall lying on its stomach, two turquoise bear eyes are the size of a fist, and a reddish-brown fur is even more invulnerable, and the roar is heartbreaking.

At first, many hunters did not believe this rumor, and they took the villager's scythe and laughed and said, "This scythe can't even cut the wolf's skin, and of course you say the bear is invulnerable." Then a few people took up their weapons and equipment and confidently prepared to eliminate the harm for the people, and after that, these people never returned.

News of the townspeople being injured by bears continued to come from the town, which made Yorktown panic for a while. After thinking about it, the mayor decided to use the town's self-defense force to hunt bears, and many hunters in the town also signed up for the bear hunting team.

After two days of searching in the Nightsong Forest, the team finally found the red-blooded bear drinking water next to Shimmer Lake. But after finding the bear, the leader of the team, the captain of the Yorktown Self-Defense Force, decisively gave the order to evacuate.

"It's a red-blooded bear, it's out of the realm of beasts, it's a magical beast, it's not something we ordinary people can deal with. The captain explained.

Mayor Mare thought the captain was shirking his responsibilities, but after seeing the horrified looks of the rest of the Bear Hunts, Mayor Mare had to accept the fact. The attacks are still happening, winter is coming, and the townspeople originally wanted to take advantage of the bear's hibernation to attack and kill it again, but seeing that people around them are constantly injured and dying, and whether this monster is hibernating is still a question. So the townsfolk finally decided not to skimp on their money, and they issued a bear hunt bounty to the Mercenary Alliance.

When Kordaq and his party arrived in Yorktown, they were warmly welcomed by the townspeople.

First, because the townspeople have been deeply threatened by the red blood bear for the past few months, and now someone has finally come to eliminate the harm for the people, although they have taken some money, but everyone has not contributed much money in the apportionment, so the big guy has to express it anyway.

Second, because the people of York Town are fierce, they saw the best hunters in the town trembling in front of the red blood bears, and even many of them lost their lives, and now this small team of people is full of confidence to take on the task, the residents of the town can't help but be a little curious about what kind of honor these powerful mercenaries are, can there be three heads and six arms?

After actually seeing Kordak and the others, the townspeople couldn't help but nod their heads secretly, and their expectations for this hunt were a little more.

Although there are also many tall and martial men in the town, but it is quite rare to be as tall and strong as the leading mercenary and the muscles are extremely well-proportioned, and then look at the equipment on the people's bodies, the captain wears a well-made fine iron armor, look at the shining armor piece, this kind of iron piece is afraid that the claws of the red blood bear can't be torn apart, right? The captain is wearing armor, holding an axe and a heavy shield, and the total equipment is one hundred and fifty pounds, but he still walks step by step without feeling bulky and sluggish!

Looking at the two team members behind him, each carrying a longbow, the tendon rope looks very elastic, coupled with the cold and shining sharp arrows, it is not a problem to shoot through the bear skin of the hateful red blood bear!

Look at the last attendant, tsk, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, even the mercenaries will bring their entourage these years, this little guy is also a dagger and a long sword, and the slippery eyes know at a glance that he is a smart and capable entourage, if the master has any needs, he will definitely be able to do it safely! Hey, no wonder the asking price is so high, these mercenaries know that the fifty gold coins are not in vain.

As a result, Kordak, Vera, and Selenos were warmly welcomed by the townspeople, while Regner was selectively ignored by the crowd as followers. At first, Regner thought he was too young to be respected, but he heard someone shouting, "I wish you and your followers a speedy and victorious return." After that, Regner finally understood that it was not a matter of disrespect or disrespect, but a complete downgrade of others.

But looking at the enthusiastic townspeople, Regner is also angry and has nowhere to blame, who is to blame? Blame Kordak for their strong aura? Or blame the townspeople for not knowing the goods? In the final analysis, it is because he is too thin. So Regner had a strained face all the way, and although he wasn't very happy, he didn't make any trouble.

After arriving at the hotel, Kordak booked four rooms for everyone, and since there were free rooms, Kordak naturally would not let Ragnar occupy his soft and comfortable bed, and Ragnar was happy not to smell Kordak's stinky feet that was comparable to the lethality of Stinky Cloud.

After everyone had made arrangements, Cordak led everyone upstairs to prepare to go upstairs, when a little boy in ragged clothes hurried up to him and hit Vera impartially.

"Stop!" Regner snorted, hastily apologizing, turning away. The guy had a subtle little movement just now, and Vera, Kordaq, and Selenos were not noticed by the three old mercenaries, but they couldn't escape the eyes of the notorious "Clever Little Thunder" in the Melindell slum. Because he was too familiar with that action, he didn't know how many people's money bags he had won with this hand, and this time he didn't expect to meet the "same door" on the other side of the mainland.

"Hand over the money bag. Regner stretched out his hand, his tone was quite kind, this little guy seemed to be younger than him, thinking of the miserable scene of the year, Regner couldn't help but feel some sympathy in his heart, and his tone was naturally much softer: "Hand over the money bag, we will let you go, and we won't trouble you." ”

The boy trembled with fear from the tall Kordaq behind Regner, and he trembled and stretched out his left hand to take Vera's purse from behind his waist.

"Oh!" Vera exclaimed, and then said in a strange tone, "You thieves are so hateful, and so is Ray, and so is this guy, each of them has the idea of beating my money bag, huh!" Vera said and gave Regner a burst of shock.

"Didn't I make up for it this time? Regner smiled bitterly and rubbed his head, and just as he was about to pick up the money bag, he saw the young man's eyes change from fear to hideousness in an instant.

"Fuck you!" the boy scolded viciously, and then the right hand that no one noticed had already grasped a dagger at some point, and suddenly swung it over, pointing it directly at Regner's throat, and the most shocking thing was that there was a faint trace of fighting spirit on this dagger!

Regner was in danger, coldly looking at the dagger that was getting closer and closer to him, and then stretched out his hand and struck the young man's wrist accurately. As soon as the boy was in pain, he suddenly lost his strength in his hand, and the dagger fell to the ground. Then Kordaq flashed in front of Regner without hesitation, and raised his leg to kick the boy directly in the chest.

But fortunately, Kordak saw that he was young, and this kick did not come with a fighting spirit, nor did he use much strength, but Rao was so, the boy still flew directly for more than two meters before falling heavily to the ground** More than that, the money bag in his left hand also flew out, and the glittering silver coins jingled and fell to the ground, but watching these strong mercenaries in the hotel, no one dared to bend down and be greedy.

"At such a young age, you have such a ruthless mind that you will be killed if you fail to steal?" said Kordak, frowning.

The young man struggled to get up, although he was at an absolute disadvantage, he still kept cursing on his lips: "Okay, even if you are strong! Lao Tzu can't beat you, if you have the ability, kill me, otherwise Lao Tzu will never be finished with you, and if you can't die, you will let you sleep badly every day, you will all fucking be careful for me tonight!"

"Dare to be arrogant! I don't think anyone can sleep well!" Cordak took a step forward in annoyance, ready to give this vicious little creature a little color. Although it didn't kill him, he still couldn't sleep for a few days. But just then, a hand grabbed Kordak.
