Chapter 14: Prestige Begins
Barren land, a small town called Qilan.
The town was one of the few populated settlements in the barrens, and lived by feeding the caravans and water, and providing mercenaries and bandits with some grey trade.
Mayor Mare's Hall.
A group of oily, richly dressed people sat around.
"Haha, what do you think the Earl has declared war on the Barrens?" asked the gray-haired, cloudy-eyed old mayor.
"Leave him alone, Lord Earl Kilburn has begun to assemble his army. It won't be long before the name Rod Dearheid is erased from the barrens. A middle-aged man said unappreciatively.
"We all know the strength of the Earl, but Qingyan City is too far away from the barren land, and I don't know how long it will take for the Grand Duke to agree to the Earl's request for war. ”
"The army of the Demon Descendants is close at hand. Another voice rang out.
Everyone was silent for a while, and suddenly a cold snort came from the corner.
An emaciated-faced man stood up.
Connor Dean, a garrison officer in the small town of Tsuran, graduated from the Army Academy of the Kingdom of Farley, and has always regarded himself very highly, and has always disdained the company of these wealthy people in the small town of Taran.
"A bunch of cowards! What is that demon to worry about? As for his army, I admit that the orcs are all elite, but after a few battles, how much more do they have left?"
"A group of remnants of the defeated army, chickens and dogs. I will lead the army to meet the enemy, and everyone will wait for the good news. ”
Connor finished speaking, and walked away from the seat.
Everyone looked at each other, and the mayor coughed, looked at everyone, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"
"It's just a flag, we just hang it. We're not that reckless man, so why fight to the death with that demon. A voice rang out, and his tone was full of complaints.
"Hang the flag, you said it lightly. Didn't you hear what that demon descendant said? Hanging the flag is tantamount to surrendering to him, and that's a tax!"
"Who are you going to pay for this?"
"And you all know what that demon descendant said, everyone is equal, let me be on an equal footing with those Shanyue mongrels, I can't accept it!"
As soon as Qian thought of the "wisdom" of the demon descendant, everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
"Alright, let's support Connor with all our might. ”
The old mayor made the final decision for the meeting, and the group left in turn.
Barren land, bloodshed and conflict come faster and more ferociously than anyone else.
Small, outcasts and bandits quickly succumbed to the Yellow Wind Bandits, and the larger towns were ambiguous or unequivocal.
Lan Town.
Plumes of smoke appeared on the horizon.
Dressed in expensive and shiny scarlet armor and sword in hand, Connor stood quietly behind the newly built fortifications.
In terms of appearance, this Connor officer deserves the words heroic and extraordinary.
The first to appear in the field of vision was a group of Yellow Wind Thieves, followed by a group of Shanyue people.
"Waste without eggs. ”
Seeing this group of Yellow Wind Thieves, Connor spat on the ground in disdain.
"Armed with the enemy! Kill all these bastards!"
Connor shouted and raised his weapon in the air.
Seeing that there was no flag, a group of Yellow Wind thieves rushed forward to make contact with the enemy.
The leader has already said that this is a battle for their Yellow Wind Thieves.
There were only two troops available to that lord, those terrible orcs and those savage and ignorant Shanyue.
I dare not hope for the first position, but it is imperative to obtain a higher status than those Shanyue people.
"Kill!"
The sword fell, and the two sides began to engage outside the town.
The garrison of Qilan Town was about 3,000 people, equipped with the sophisticated equipment that the mayor and the gentry had spent a lot of money to build.
In this barren land of chaos and anarchy, it is impossible to survive without the corresponding force.
Connor stabbed a sword through the chest of a Yellow Wind Thief.
He is only one step away from becoming a hero powerhouse, and he is just using these miscellaneous pieces to train himself.
The shouts and cheers rang out, and the Yellow Wind Thieves, who were good at fighting, were not good at frontal hard attacks, and after a while of fighting between the two sides, the thieves gradually lost the upper hand.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Behind him, a language unfamiliar to both sides sounded.
A group of Shanyue people waved their weapons and covered up from the flanks.
The leader is a tall Shanyue man covered in scars.
There was some anger in Manshan's heart, this group of bandits did not follow the plan made by Lord Rhodes at all.
The job of this group of bandits was to appear at the end of the battle, to deliver the final blow to the enemy with the strength of highly mobile cavalry.
But these guys are fighting for merit.
"Phew!"
Spit out a mouthful of spit, Man Shan led the Shanyue people to rush into the enemy formation.
3,000 Yamagoe people who performed the best in training.
Charge and kill, stay in formation.
Manshan remembers everything he has learned, the current life of the Shanyue people.
The lives of the people behind him need to be guarded with the butcher's knife in his hand.
"Kill!"
Connor had never looked at these Shanyue people in the face, but they had given him a lot of surprises.
"A bunch of ignorant beasts!"
Connor roared angrily and raised his sword directly to meet the mountain.
If he hadn't messed with the wrong people in the kingdom, how could he have ended up in this barren, dirty, backward and barbaric land.
Holding his long sword high, Connor swung violently, and a white sword light burst out of the sword, extremely powerful.
The sword light swept by, and the Shanyue people who were blocking him were directly split in half.
"Death, beast!"
The mountain shouted angrily and was about to stride to catch up.
An old hand pressed him.
Akron walked out from behind the mountain.
"Leave it to me, this guy is not an enemy you can deal with. ”
Man Shan nodded a little reluctantly and led the team to kill elsewhere.
Akron moved his muscles and kicked the ground, his body leaping out like an arrow from a string.
This time it was he who volunteered to fight.
As Lord Rhodes's closest servant, he almost killed his lord.
This is simply an unforgivable mistake for Akron.
A punch was thrown, Connor held the long sword in front of him, his fist met the sword body, and with a muffled sound, Connor half-crouched down, and his body was repelled from a distance.
"Old fellow, good skills. ”
Connor took a deep breath with a solemn look in his eyes, and rushed towards Akron with his sword in hand.
Although Akron is not good at fighting, he does have heroic strength.
The two fought in close quarters, and after several grappling battles, Akron squatted down violently, his fingers clenched into claws, and punched Connor in the chest.
There was a thud, and Connor's body was knocked off the ground with a huge force, and then he fell hard.
"Your head is dead!
A sharp-eyed yellow wind thief saw this scene and couldn't wait to shout.
The morale of his side was greatly boosted, and he surrounded and suppressed the remnants of the army all the way into the small town of Qilan.
The battle soon came to an end.
Rhodes' side won by a big margin.
A group of Yellow Wind thieves stood in front of Akron with trepidation, and they felt the anger of the old butler.
"You have violated Lord Rhodes' orders, but I have no right to deal with you. ”
Akron glanced at a group of Yellow Wind Thieves.
"Now I give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. I'm sure you're no stranger to purging the rich in this town. ”
"Also, don't harass the civilians here. You only have one chance to make a mistake, and you've already used it up. ”
A group of Yellow Wind thieves took the order and left, and suddenly turned from bandits to an army, and they were still a little uncomfortable.
But none of them are stupid.
A group of Shanyue people can get a lot of rewards, and with an ambitious demon descendant, they naturally pursue more things.
The Yellow Wind thieves broke open the doors of a wealthy family and broke in with a smirk.
The Shanyue people, under the leadership of Man Shan, seized the granary of the town for the first time.
In the barren land, battles large and small broke out constantly, and then ended quickly.
Greystone Valley.
Rhodes stood in front of a map, drawing charcoal over and over again.
"You have succeeded in ruling the Barrens. ”
"The Prestige Mall opens. ”
A mechanical sound sounded in my ears.
Rod opens the lord template and finds that there is a new page on the template.
Prestige Mall.
Spend the reputation earned by Rhodes to purchase various items from it.
Rhodes clicked on the interface, and at first glance, he saw eye-catching architectural blueprints.
