Chapter XXVII: The First Collision Between the Adventurer and the Regular Army
"Let's open up!"
Seeing that there were no less than 50,000 people in the nearly saturated canyon valley, Bird and Shen Zhongrong looked at each other and smiled, and then shouted loudly to the heralds below.
"Open !!"
A deafening sound spread from the walled city, and it was clear that the heralds had used amplification magic.
"It's finally open!"
"Finally, we can go and see the so-called 'Sky City' full of treasures!"
"I must be the richest man in the world!"
"I'll go down in history!"
.................
As soon as the voice came, the people who had come to Marfa Peak, whether it was for fame, profit, or for any other reason, began to get excited.
The crowd instantly began to be noisy and crowded, and everyone wanted to be the first to climb the 'Castle in the Sky' and reap the rewards of fame and fortune.
'Step~Step~Step~'
Before the adventurers below could make any moves, heavy footsteps exploded in this small canyon, and a phalanx of nearly 10,000 Vic soldiers rushed to the entrance from the back of the canyon not far away, holding a spear and only letting go of the path of the two of them, in front of the tens of thousands of adventurers waiting to enter in the rear, it seemed so narrow.
"Hey... Feed... Cough... Well... Well... Everyone, be quiet!!"
Looking at the increasingly riotous crowd, a general, escorted by many Vic soldiers, climbed onto a makeshift high platform, holding a huge horn in his hand and shouting loudly.
The crowd, which had been in a commotion because of the sight of the many soldiers, heard the words and fell silent.
"That's right, in order to ensure your personal safety, the Principality has sent 50,000 soldiers from all over the country to protect your safety, and at the same time, in order to maintain the original appearance of Marfa Peak, the Principality has also invested a lot of gold coins to repair and improve, but for such a huge peak, it is still a drop in the bucket. ”
After that, the general carefully looked at the crowd below, and after finding that there was nothing abnormal, he continued.
"Therefore, as a member of the principality, 'everyone has a responsibility to protect the environment', and the state will not delay you in finding treasures, but I hope that in the process of finding treasures, you will not damage the public greenery, and at the same time pay a deposit of 2 gold coins to support the greening of Marfa Peak and make a contribut!!ion!
The general wiped the sweat from his forehead and took the lead in applauding.
'Bang Bang...'
The applause was endless, but it was not from the adventurer, but from his soldiers, who applauded vigorously to accompany his speech.
"You guys are collecting protection money in disguise!"
In the crowd of 50,000 adventurers, such a voice came out, the voice was ethereal, and the source could not be found, but it was very clear to everyone's ears.
"Yes, when do we need your protection? ”
"This is a public place, and you have to charge so much money?"
"Marfa Peak and Daoling Peak belong to public areas, and they do not divide any national territory, so why do you have to charge. ”
"We can't give this money unless you come up with His Majesty's will. ”
"I'm afraid you're crazy about money!"
..........
Noisy, chaotic discussions, and curses continued to spread among the crowd like a virus.
By an introduction, the crowd exploded, and the adventurers who had stayed here for more than half a month because of the blockade of Marfa Peak by the Principality of Vic completely exploded in their hearts.
A head-sized fireball burst out from the crowd and flew in the direction that was obviously the general who had just spoken.
'Boom~'
The fireball was snuffed out in the hands of the generals like fireworks, and it can be seen that the generals are also extraordinary.
But does that scare the adventurers below? Not really!
That fireball can only be described as a wedge that causes conflicts between adventurers and regular troops, and this wedge has caused a long chain reaction like dominoes.
'Ice pick'
'Wind Blade'
'Thunder's Fury'
'Great Earthquake Deterrence'
'Multiple Water Arrows'
....................
Among the 50,000 adventurers, there are at least 10,000 mages, and countless primary, intermediate, and even high-level magic are released, rendering the entire sky colorful and falling like raindrops.
The general's face did not change, he stood in place peacefully, he dared to stand here, and naturally had the means to protect himself.
"Listen to my command!!!"
The general did not respond, and there was a loud shout from the ranks, and an adjutant stepped out of the army phalanx, holding a large silver shield in his hand, and behind him were about 3,000 shield soldiers with shields of the same standard.
'Drink !!'
The shield soldiers were divided into three columns and ran to the mouth of the valley in turn, and the first column stuck their shields heavily on the ground, closing the entrance to the canyon.
"Drink !!"
The second column held their shields high and slightly oblique, guarding the first column of shields.
"Drink !!"
Another big shout!
The silver shield of the third column of shieldmen was held high, tightly guarding the heads of themselves and the second column of shieldmen.
An earthy yellow curtain of light spread out from in front of the three thousand shield soldiers, enveloping the entire canyon.
'Sigh Barrier'
Swarm magic, an earth-based magic made up of multiple people, can form a shield wall that protects the entire team of teammates behind you, and the more casters, the stronger the defense.
'Wow~'
'Boom~'
'Bang~'
Bursts of explosions burst out in this narrow space, and layers of air waves composed of dust, dirt and stones swept away a lot of the surrounding trees, and the spells at close range were released, and the adventurers at the forefront were also taken out.
Above the earthy yellow light, there were layers of waves, although there was a slight shaking, but there was no sign of shattering.
Bird, who was far away in the walled city, glanced at Shen Zhongrong sideways, and there was a slight smugness in his eyes, this charge was raised by Shen Zhongrong, otherwise he would not be standing here today, and at the same time, Bird also used force to deter this middle-aged man from the mysterious East to put away his restless thoughts, and let him know that the strong strength from the West.
Shen Zhongrong's honest face was moved by a flash, as if he was shocked by the scene in front of him and immediately covered it up.
Bird was keenly aware of this subtle change, nodded with a smile, and said, "What does Mr. Shen think of our army?"
Shen Zhongrong regained his previous honest smile, bowed with a fan and arched his hand towards Bird, and said, "The sergeant under the Marquis is a sergeant with strong force and calmness, and he deserves the title of 'strong army'. ”
"Mr. Shen, it's ridiculous!"
Bird laughed when he heard this, and he didn't hide his smugness in his laughter, as for the word false praise, he also learned it from Shen Zhongrong, and the gloom that he had been shocked by the wealth from the East was also swept away at this time.
