Chapter 163: This Is Our Backyard

The group was mighty, and by the evening, they had arrived less than twenty miles away from the Lion King City. This is already the place where Xiao Yu has set up checkpoints to collect taxes.

Along the way, Xiao Yu saw many adventurers rushing towards the Lion King's side, and when he reached this level, he found that a large number of adventurers had gathered, and they were all making a lot of noise at this time, obviously arguing about something.

Xiao Yu immediately urged the horse over, and saw Long Hui and Mu Huali guarding here, commanding his army to confront these adventurers.

"Your Excellency is back." Seeing Xiao Yu, the people in Lion King City breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few days, Xiao Yu has not been there, and a large number of adventurers have suddenly appeared in the territory, which also gives Long Hui and them a headache.

Xiao Yu naturally knew what the situation was, so he immediately took the lead, rushed over, and then pulled out the ash messenger and slashed down the ground in front of those adventurers.

Boom......

Accompanied by a strong puff of smoke, a deep ravine appeared in the middle of the confrontation between the adventurer and the Lion King City soldiers.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Yu immediately slashed his sword, majestic, looked at the adventurer in front of him, and said coldly.

Xiao Yu's hand immediately shocked all the adventurers. They could all see the weight of the knife. Among them, there are not many who can make the next cut.

Although there were some strong people, seeing the countless orc infantry and wolf cavalry behind Xiao Yu, they all shrank aside and didn't dare to make a sound.

These adventurers looked at each other, and finally, a third-order fighter stepped forward and said, "Are you the lord here, Lord Xiao?" ”

Xiao Yu put the Ash Messenger on his shoulder, revealing his rogue nature, and said, "I am, what's wrong?" ”

This adventurer looked at Xiao Yu's hooligan appearance, and knew in his heart that Xiao Yu was not easy to mess with, this was to give them a bad fight. However, there were so many of them, and they were not afraid of Xiao Yu, so they immediately said confidently: "Lord Xiao, since you are here, then you should also be fair, we adventurers rushed from all directions from the west to explore the treasure in the Ankola Mountains, but when we arrived here, we were forcibly charged tolls, is this too much?" We are not past merchants, so why should we be charged tolls? This northwest land is so big, do all the people who pass by have to collect tolls? ”

"That's right, why are we charged tolls? Why don't you let us in? The other adventurers immediately shouted.

When Xiao Yu heard this adventurer say this, his face suddenly sank, and he said coldly, "What did you just say?" ”

This adventurer looked at Xiao Yu's appearance, and his heart was a little abrupt, those towering guard towers, dense ballista carts, and blade carts made them all a little worried. Although they are all adventurers and have good strength, if they force themselves into a conflict with the Lion King's army, they will definitely not have good fruit to eat.

"Lord Xiao, we are here to take an adventure, we have no intention of offending you, we just want you to let us go and enter the Ankora Mountains." The adventurer's momentum suddenly shortened and said.

Xiao Yu snorted coldly and said, "Adventure? You can venture to a place where there is no owner, come to my territory to adventure, what's the matter? If there was a bunch of guys with swords who went to your backyard to venture out into your backyard if they had nothing to do, would you say yes? ”

When this adventurer heard Xiao Yu say this, he immediately said, "Lord Xiao, you have misunderstood, we are not trying to offend your Lion King Domain, we are going to the Ankola Mountains. ”

Xiao Yu raised his chin and said lightly: "Don't you even have a little common sense?" In recognition of my father Xiao Zhantian's great achievements, the Tianshi Dynasty gave all this northwest land to my Xiao family, including the Ankola Mountains. You keep saying that you come to the Ankola Mountains to adventure, it's my backyard, don't you know? You are bold enough to come to my backyard in search of treasure, everything there is my personal property. What is the crime of violating the private property of the lord? That's theft, that's robbery. You came to my house to rob Jie, and you are still so blatant and arrogant? ”

Xiao Yu's words, everyone was stunned.

At this time, they also remembered that when the Tianshi Dynasty was canonized, it was indeed the Ankela Mountains that were canonized to Xiao Zhantian.

In this way, everything in the Ankola Mountains really belongs to Xiao Yu. They came to someone's territory to search for treasure, which seemed a bit unreasonable.

In fact, the reason why the Tianshi Dynasty was so canonized back then was mainly because there were no good things at all in the Ankola Mountains, and some were only dangerous beasts such as demonic beasts and trolls.

Back then, in order to suppress Xiao Zhantian, those political enemies got him such a garbage fief, although the territory was very large, but all of them were useless.

It's just that if there is any treasure in the Ankola Mountains now, it seems that it does belong to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu, as the lord here, has absolute power and does not allow them to venture into the Ankora Mountains.

However, they came all the way here, and there were enviable treasures there, so did they just go back in disgrace?

For a moment, no one spoke. Xiao Yu's words let them know that in terms of axioms, Xiao Yu has an absolute advantage. This Ankola mountain range belongs to Xiao Yu. As long as they are the people of the Tianshi Dynasty, they must obey this law.

Although the Tianshi Dynasty has now declined and has no real power, Xiao Yu is fully qualified to exercise the right to defend the territory, and can not let people enter the Ankola Mountains at will.

If it was the previous Lion King Leader, who was weak all the year round, and didn't even have much regular army at all, he would definitely not be able to manage these. Then thousands of adventurers are pouring in, and if you forcibly stop it, you may provoke a rebellion, and they will burn your lion king's territory.

But now, the Lion King has tens of thousands of elite troops, strong equipment, and powerful troops such as orc infantry, wolf cavalry, and elven archers.

Especially at this time, Lao Niu is standing at the front of the level, with a huge body more than three meters high, and a big axe more than four meters long.

For a moment, the adventurers fell silent. They were all thinking about where they would sneak over at night.

Although this road has basically been densely built by Xiao Yu and connected by a guard tower, there must be omissions, and it should be no problem for one or two people to sneak over.

Xiao Yu looked at these adventurers and said coldly: "I know what you guys are thinking, you must still be thinking about how to sneak over." But I can tell you responsibly that I, Xiao Yu, as the lord of the Lion King Domain, will never allow any thieves or robbers to enter my territory, and if there are such ill-intentioned people, I guarantee that my orc warriors will split them in half and roast them and eat them. If you're not convinced, come and test the strength of my troops. There is still a month left before the treasure is opened, and during this month, I will have my troops patrol the territory of the Lion King, and if they encounter such a bandit, they will be killed. The majesty of the lion king is not to be offended. ”

Xiao Yu said at the end, a cold light flashed in his eyes, as if he was going to kill all these adventurers now.

However, after a while, Xiao Yu said again: "But ...... I also know that it is not easy for everyone to come all the way here. Adventurers always have the blood of battle and adventure flowing in their chests, otherwise, what else is an adventurer called? I respect your profession. So, for now, I'd like to give you a chance to venture freely into the Ankora Mountains, and also, get supplies from my Lion Lord. ”

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, all the adventurers immediately put their minds at ease, originally, they still felt that this trip would definitely be either empty-handed, or extremely troublesome. Now Xiao Yu is so considerate of them, which really flatters them.

After all, if they really faced these orc soldiers, they were also unwilling. They are all adventurers in a single gang, and they are still eager to deal with one or two orcs, but in the face of hundreds or thousands of organized orc troops, it is different.

Immediately, an adventurer asked, "Then I don't know what conditions Duke Xiao has?" ”

These people also saw that Xiao Yu must be proposing some conditions.

When Xiao Yu heard the question, he smiled slightly, and said, "I will definitely give you the opportunity, but I must make some restrictions and distinctions to everyone, and know which ones are here to take risks and which ones are here to make trouble." I don't forbid those who take risks, and those who come to make trouble are my enemies, and I will definitely not show mercy. For this reason, I would like to make three requests that I hope you will comply, so that you will be free to venture out in the Ankara Mountains. ”

"Those three requirements?" When everyone heard Xiao Yu say this, they all immediately asked.

Xiao Yu pondered slightly, and said: "First of all, the first point, everyone can come to my lion king's territory, and they can trade freely, move freely and other rights, but they must abide by the laws of my lion king's territory, and they can't be traitors, otherwise they will be severely punished." ”

"We naturally abide by this."

"It's not a condition, we can do it." The adventurers responded immediately.

Xiao Yu listened, nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "This second point, everyone also knows that my lion king has many orcs, elves, dwarves and other races, and now there are many people with bad intentions and want to kidnap some orcs and elves to be slaves. If anyone dares to do this, then don't blame me Xiao Yu for being polite, and promise to let your heads hang on the head of my Lion King City. ”

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, although many people disagreed, they all agreed.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xiao Yu also knew what was going on, so he didn't care what would happen to them in the future, anyway, he would just strengthen his vigilance when the time came.

"Thirdly, in order to be able to distinguish whether it is an adventurer who keeps to himself or an enemy who has come to me with a bad plan, I will issue waist cards uniformly to show the difference. Those who have a waist card can move freely within the scope of the lion king's territory, and those who do not have a waist card will be arrested, sent out, or killed directly if they have a bad attitude. ”

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, the adventurers talked a lot, and they didn't object much. Xiao Yu did this, it seems that it is also for the safety of the territory, and it is understandable.

However, Xiao Yu continued: "However, this waist card, in order to make it difficult for people to imitate, I decided to use magic marks to distinguish it. As you can see, the students of the Academy of Magic have also come to visit my Lion King this time, and I will ask them to help make these magic marks, so don't think about playing any tricks. And because there will be a certain cost to make in this way, and you go to my backyard to hunt for treasures, and after you find it, it will belong to you, which is also a violation of my lord's rights and interests, so this waist card will charge a certain fee. ”

Hearing this, many people understood that Xiao Yu was going to charge. After talking for a long time, in fact, there is still a fee, you pay the money, you can enter the Ankola Mountains to adventure, if you don't pay, then leave, if you dare to resist, kill you.

A group of adventurers listened, and although some people were not convinced, the vast majority of them also accepted it. Because after all, they are going to other people's territory to hunt for treasure, and they should pay some fees.

Break the wealth and avoid disasters, spend money, you can come and go freely, and save trouble.

Seeing that all the adventurers agreed, a treacherous light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes, and he said to Long Hui next to him: "Let them go, let them in." Waist cards will be issued tomorrow, and if anyone doesn't come to buy it, arrest them, and kill them if they resist. ”
