Chapter 282: Ammon City
A quiet night.
The caravan set out the next day at three o'clock in the morning, mainly because yesterday's continuous walking was too tiring, and it took time for people, cows, horses, and camels to regain their strength.
In fact, even when the caravan men took care of the cows, horses, and camels as soon as they set up camp, they were all exhausted, and even a few of them were disabled due to overwork, but fortunately there were no deaths.
Fortunately, the cows, horses, and camels, which had abandoned a third of the previous abandonment and had now recovered only half of them, were able to pull up all the goods and continue on their way.
The rest of the road was easier, and the only thing that was a threat was that the caravan ran into a horde of small, filthy goblins.
These dwarfs were like muscular dystrophy, with large heads, noses and mouths protruding forward, mostly naked, and green-skinned dwarfs with wooden sticks and stones in their hands, timid and cowardly, weak and savage.
Goblins are very proliferated, have a short growth cycle, and are very tenacious in survivability, omnivorous they can survive even if they eat grass roots.
They are like weeds that grow everywhere in the wild, one batch is cleared and another batch pops up immediately.
However, if they do not outnumber the enemy by five or ten times, these cowardly creatures will not dare to attack the enemy.
However, they are very annoying, and will always hide in the grass or bushes to follow and watch.
If they can't show enough force, the goblins will always follow, looking for every flaw or waiting for enough of their allies to arrive.
Once the conditions are met, they rush up and try to turn every living creature in the caravan into food.
Of course, for the caravans running merchants in the Northland, if they can't even cope with the goblins, it won't take long to be swallowed up and wiped out by other caravans, or even directly defeated by the harsh environment and become dry bones in the wild.
The caravan guards and adventurers' team slaughtered the goblins who were hiding and watching in a single charge, and all that remained howled and turned to run, littered with sticks and stones they discarded, and even trampled on each other.
Then, a few of the goblins with the loudest wails were tied up at the front of the caravan, and their earth-shattering screams were the best dispersal - though only useful for goblins.
I walked for most of the day.
It seems to have entered the transition area from the wild to the jurisdiction of the city of Ammon, and some traces of people began to appear on both sides of the road, and the traces of small villages with few people loomed among the trees, with traces of cooking smoke.
As the caravan continued onwards, about two hours later,
The uneven road began to become smoother, and the road surface gradually expanded from a wild road of about three meters to a width of five meters.
Then, the vast expanse of wild forest that had been in view began to thin out, and a thin amount of farmland appeared on the roadside.
And after rounding a hill, the front suddenly opens up!
Outside, there are fertile fields wrapped in withered yellow meadows and fields, and large tracts of cultivated farmland stretch out from both sides of the road, and in the distance it seems that several villages and towns smoked from the smoke can be seen in the distance.
It was already on the outskirts of the city of Ammon, and the roads were already lined with donkey carts, ox carts, and bucket carts carrying goods, and farmers and small merchants carrying the goods they needed tomorrow to the city in advance.
However, there was a very shocking scene on the horizon - a mountain range with no edge in sight rose from the ground, and the cliff was at least thousands of meters high, showing an iron-blue appearance, standing craggy, tall and majestic, straight into the sky, making people have an indescribable sense of admiration!
That is, the great Hengduan mountain range, which surrounds the southern end of the entire Northland plateau and separates it from the south, the Palenodia Mountains, which not only stands majestically and toweringly, but also has an extremely harsh environment, and those who try to climb it and conquer it do not come out without exception.
Legend has it that in ancient times, this was an important line of defense against the ravages of wizards, so countless bones were buried inside, the energy was extremely chaotic, and the dead demon area was everywhere, and extremely ferocious monsters and undead wandered in it, and now it has become a major Jedi.
In the distance, there is a mighty long river surrounded by a semi-arc
This turbulent river is also of extraordinary origin, and is one of the tributaries of the Tunguska River, which runs thousands of miles through more than a dozen countries in the Northland Plateau.
It pounded the Palianodia Mountains for many years under the height difference, and then cut out a long scar-like Angolo Canyon, and then there was this passage into the Northlands.
In the Angolo Grand Canyon, the city of Ammon, which was established to guard this passage, is a typical canyon mountain city.
Standing against the backdrop of a hill, the fifteen-metre-high walls were built over three hundred years and were built in a unique way in three tiers, each with its own walls and entrances, and the iron gates were tall and solid.
Its ruler is Earl Gil, a typical Northland nobleman, old-fashioned, mean, conservative, disciplined, etc., which are the common labels of Northland nobles like him.
The half-dead goblins had already been abandoned, and when the caravan lined up along the paved avenue that had expanded to ten meters to pay the entrance fee, it was to the outer part of Ammon City
The architecture of the city of Ammon leans towards the Romanesque, and the architectural style is majestic and majestic, and the inner city is dominated by beautiful houses that look like small villas, with private gardens with complete sewers and elevated aqueducts.
Of course, this was the scene of the Upper Town, where only the nobility were allowed to live, and the Upper Town was separated from the rest of the city by a wall and moat.
The Midtown District, like all other cities, is paved with bluestone slabs and is relatively clean, and is divided into several districts, such as the temple area where the shrine stands, the living area where merchants and craftsmen live, and the commercial area where shops are lined with shops.
As for the lower part of the town, where the caravan entered, the dirty and muddy roads, the haphazard slums, and the slums with vegetables on their faces were the most conspicuous signs.
Prosperous trade has led to caravans everywhere in the lower town, cattle and horses and camels of all kinds, the smell of animal feces in the air, and the mixed smell of filth in the stinking gutters is almost addictive.
Of course, there are also entrenched gangs and rogue warblers who attract customers in these places.
Livestock were not allowed to enter Midtown, and Mr. Lindemann had no choice but to place the caravan in Downtown and then bring people into Midtown to negotiate business.
And the muse and his party also broke away from the caravan at this time, left with their luggage and packages, and then walked into the bustling flow of people, and soon disappeared from the crowd.
