Chapter 173: It's all for profit

"Shoot!" After chasing all the way into the small woods, Viscount Sturt jumped directly from his horse, and his steps were flying fast (bī) close to the "Marquis of Red Fox" who even fell to the ground in the rush of flight ahead. Horseback riding in the woods was not as fast as running, so most of the servants after Viscount Sturt took (shēn) changed from cavalry to infantry.

"War trampling!"

Powerful waves of magic erupted from the trees, and at the same time, an unusually tall (shēn) shadow was revealed from its hidden (shēn) state due to the spell cast!

Feeling the abnormal magic fluctuations, Viscount Sturt subconsciously looked in the direction where the minotaur chief was. And at this moment, an extremely intense white light was cast directly on Viscount Sturt's face!

"Oops!" Suddenly encountering a bright light, Viscount Sturt subconsciously raised his hand and closed his eyes, and at the same time, the magic power was also rapidly condensing.

"Shut up!" In the high-pitched scream, Viscount Sturt's fighting spirit was suddenly out of control!

In the next moment, the iron hooves of the Minotaur Chief had already stepped down heavily, and Viscount Sturt, who was uncomfortable because of the disorder of the fighting qi in his body, and the Dou Shi Hu from (shēn) stunned him on the spot!

And then, no more.

Viscount Sturt was possessed by a banshee, and the few descendants were controlled by Zuo Zhe with a volitional virus. The rest of the cavalry were replaced by Zuo Zhe, ** Division, Paladin, Watchman, Ji Ya and Spellbreaker after being killed. Because they were lineage, although the group was small, they were all well-armed, wearing chain mail (shēn) and metal helmets. Among them, Viscount Sturt's equipment is still enchanted. However, these enchanted equipment, which can passively trigger magic shields, are encountered by the Dark Ranger's silence ability, and do not work as well as they should.

"Let's go!" Viscount Sturt, who was occupied by the banshee, took the lead, and a group of cavalry rushed towards the gate of the royal capital of the Hegemon Kingdom.

With Viscount Sturt leading the way, the group did not encounter the reproach of the soldiers defending the city, and even the inspection was a little perfunctory. From here, it can be seen that although the alert level of the Overlord King City is very high, the execution of the grassroots soldiers is not so strong. After all, the soldiers at the grassroots level had not seen the strength of Zuo Zhe and the others with their own eyes, and they did not know the exciting news such as "the descent of the demon king" that was circulating in the upper echelons.

However, although no one found fault, there was still something wrong with the group. Specifically, Zuo Zhe and the lawbreakers couldn't ride horses! As a result, the speed of the cavalry that had been coming and going like the wind was obviously much slower, attracting frequent sideways glances from the soldiers outside the city gate. Fortunately, Ji Ya, who was weak and sickly (jiāo), managed to attract everyone's attention and make the soldiers realize why the cavalry was riding so slowly. As for the kind of drama of slapping the face, it is because of the influence of Viscount Sturt, and no one dares to do this for a while.

After entering the city, Zuo Zhe and others finally dismounted and led the war horse on foot. With a long breath, Zuo Zhedu was nervous and about to break out in a cold sweat. The problem is that the war horses of this world are not castrated. Therefore, the stallion that Zuo Zhe rode was always sniffing the (pì) strand of the war horse in front of him. It is a shame to say that it is only now that Zuo Zhe realizes that the current season is the end of (chūn), and that the animals are the season when the blood of the beasts is boiling.

In the city of the king of the tyrant, after passing through the open space between the city wall and the outer urn city, where only soldiers patrolled, they finally entered the crowded downtown area from the heavily guarded area of the military camp. Inside the city gate of the urn city, a large open field, there are a variety of stalls composed of various trolleys, and all kinds of selling sounds are in the ears.

It was only now that Zuo Zhe put down a hanging heart. The city's bazaar wasn't supposed to be so crowded with people. However, the betrayal of the Grand Duke and the imminent war of the Hegemonic Kingdom made the ordinary people in the royal city nervous, and they began to stock up on goods in a tense and busy manner. Due to the imminent threat of war, the prices of various types of common goods on the market are also rising day by day.

Seeing Viscount Sturt coming with a group of cavalry, the vendors blocking the way immediately pushed their stalls to make way to the sides. Originally, a nobleman like Viscount Sturt should have gone through the city gate in the middle. However, after all, Viscount Sturt has already been occupied by a banshee, so there is no hurry to go to something like a small report (qíng). To walk through the gate on one side for ordinary people, in addition to buying a lot of food, there is one most important thing (qíng) to do.

As for this matter, of course, it was a robbery! Don't look at this place, this is not a place where nobles gather, most of the people living there are commoners, merchants and other small people, but the real (qíng) situation is very different from the appearance!

Well, there's a lot of gold buried beneath the surface of this area! The Terran peasants can only point out where the gold is hidden, but they can't explain why there is so much gold here. To find out the situation, it is up to Zuo Zhe and others to investigate it personally. Therefore, the matter of buying grain (qíng) will be talked about later, Zuo Zhe and the others first found an inn to store the war horses. Then the watchman vanished.

After Zuo Zhe and the others changed into civilians in the inn, the watchmen had already gone and returned. It turns out that the Watchman's small teleportation will not be detected by the enemy. And after the watchman's investigation, the truth of the matter (qíng) also emerges. It turns out that these places where a lot of gold is stored are the nests of the underground underground forces in the Tyrant King City! Those who open gambling houses, open kilns, lendsell usury, and collect protection money, and the families of these underground forces are really rich! Moreover, there is also the biggest advantage, that is, even if these guys who are not clean at hand do not dare to make too much noise even if they are robbed, at least they will not recruit the city guards.

"It seems that I can't sleep again tonight. Rubbing his eyes, Zuo Zhe found that he was actually a hard worker, working during the day and working overtime at night, even busier than before the crossing!

"I also want to take a good rest, but the gold that is dangling in front of me is not (yǔn) Xu!" pressed for time, and put it aside. Let Viscount Ste take the few controlled servants to report to work, Zuo Zhe took the ** master, the paladin and Ji Ya to the pawn shop, and threw the useless silver utensils and jewelry and other luxury goods to several pawn shops in exchange for gold.

As a result, after some trading, Zuo Zhe intuitively felt the meaning of the word "(jiān) business". suffered a big loss here at the pawn shop, and Zuo Zhe planned to come and visit at night. No matter how powerful the Shang is, he can't compare to the robbers, let alone the robbers whose combat effectiveness is stronger than the army.

However, before it got dark, Zuo Zhe and the others were blocked in the middle of the alley, and as for the pedestrians who were originally in this alley, they left in a hurry under the intimidation of a group of thugs. Yes, Zuo Zhe, a few outsiders dressed in civilian clothes, were targeted by the forces behind the pawnshop. Well, they felt that there were more good things on Zuozhe (shēn), so they switched to robbery. What's more, there is a Ji Ya next to Zuo Zhe (shēn) who can't even hide her beauty with a wide cloak!

"Hey, old thing, I don't want to be caught by the city guards, so I obediently hand over the space ring in the prison!" "Whitebeard's ** division was regarded as the leader of the group, and he encountered the life threat of "white knives in and red knives out".

Looking at these arrogant gangsters with a toothache, Zuo Zhe looked at the sky and looked at those flying demon pets in the sky very uncomfortable. If there were no flying demon pets, anyone in Zuo Zhe's team would be able to kill these bastards who were at most second-order fighters. However, the demon pet above his head, who was obviously in charge of patrolling, but pretended not to see what was happening below, made Zuo Zhe a little constrained. These thugs are so blatant, it is obvious that they have something to do with the magician behind the demon pets! In other words, it is no problem for this group of gangsters to rob Zuo Zhe and these civilians, but if Zuo Zhe and these people dare to resist, believe it or not, those flying demon pets will immediately have the opportunity to swoop down to maintain law and order? Moreover, those city guards who are responsible for the security of this area will also come quickly.

Therefore, Zuo Zhe's original kindness (qíng) can be regarded as ruined. Originally, Zuo Zhe thought that the sanitary conditions in this place were not bad, and the air was not dirty. But now it seems that it is not bad!

In order to avoid trouble, Zuo Zhe directly summoned Viscount Sturt's servant. As for Viscount Sturt, he is making a small report to his boss according to the original script.

"Paladin, I'll leave it to you, drag it until reinforcements come. Glancing at the flying demon pets hovering overhead again, Zuo Zhe suddenly wanted to recruit high-level soldiers such as the Frost Wyvern to let the world feel the fear of the dragon. Well, don't do things like poisoning the groundwater (qíng), that kind of blow is too wide, and it will kill a large number of civilians.

After Viscount Sturt's entourage arrived, these gangsters, who were originally on a "par" with the paladins, immediately retreated in a swarm. It's just that the phrase "we'll see" they said before they left fully proves the evil thoughts in their hearts.

Under the leadership of Viscount Sturt, Zuo Zhe and others walked in many sub-urban areas, stepping on various points along the way, waiting for the night to come.

In the royal area at the core of the Hegemony King City, Vincent Yaba has stayed at home in the royal capital since he reported the war that broke out before. This time the battle seemed to be huge, but in fact it was more like a show. On the one hand, the Grand Duke betrayed the kingdom, so the kingdom had to send troops to quell the rebellion. If this fight is not fought, what will the other nobles think? Will they think that even if they betray, they will not be punished? On the other hand, this scene is also to put pressure on Bacon Riel's side to make concessions, or even to give up Hongye City. On the third side, this war will consume the private soldiers of those big nobles in the country to ensure that these big nobles lose the power of rebellion in a short time. As for other aspects of the plan, it is really difficult to say whether it will succeed.
