Today happened to be the turn of Fletcher's 9th Squadron, early in the morning, not long after the city gate was opened, a violent storm swept in, and he had long been accustomed to this, as usual, he ordered the soldiers at the gate to speed up the inspection to avoid the stranding of merchants outside the city, but the accident still happened.

A man in black wearing a cloak who couldn't see his face clearly when it was his turn to enter the city, suddenly attacked, knocked down two approaching "mountain guards", and then before the others could react, he quickly rushed into the city and disappeared into the pouring rain, so agile that no one present could even see what weapon he used, including Fletcher himself, who was as strong as a low-ranking silver swordsman.

Seeing the two men lying in a pool of blood, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, the enraged Fletcher clenched his fists, retaining the last shred of reason, and before chasing out, he ordered his subordinates to temporarily block the city gate according to the rules of the legion, and no one was allowed to enter or exit, and then sent someone to inform the corps commander, and finally chased out with half of the squadron of soldiers.

More than an hour later, with an angry face, he returned empty-handed with his original team and three other heavy infantry squadrons that had come to support.

By this time, the rainstorm had stopped, but more and more people had gathered outside the city, and the legion commander ordered him to return to continue his work and open the city gates.

In fact, an accident like this just now, it is nothing in the "border town", due to the special geographical location, there will always be some uninvited guests here every three or five days, pale and weak necromancers, mutated chaos worshippers, and even skeleton zombies This kind of undead creatures, it is possible to appear, who makes this the frontier of the empire, who makes the opposite side is the lawless "border prince", even if there are groups of greenskins and beastmen, it is not surprising.

What the "Mountain Guards" can do is to firmly defend the fortress with their own flesh and blood after the outbreak of a large-scale invasion, but when an individual like the one who is powerful but good at camouflage just now is mixed with ordinary people, he can't defend himself at all, and similar things will happen from time to time in the past, as long as the "border town" is always open to the outside world, this kind of thing cannot be avoided.

So the lord didn't take it too seriously after receiving the news, but according to the commander of the legion who attended the meeting, the commander of the "Night Raven Catcher" took the initiative to ask his troops to search for the mysterious man in black, but he didn't expect the lord to agree to him, saying something professional for the professional people to do, and the people of the "Mountain Guard" should continue to guard the city wall.

In the words of the Legion Commander, those damn "crows" obviously want to take this opportunity to show their hands in front of the lord, prove their strength, and give others a disadvantage!

After learning of this arrangement, the grumpy Fletcher almost went berserk, although he was not blamed, but he himself could not swallow this breath, as a veteran who regards honor as his life, it is simply a shame to let the other party easily break through the defense line and walk away, and what adds fuel to the fire is that he is now even deprived of the opportunity to avenge his subordinates, and instead of himself, it is still those "crows" who are not pleasing to the eye!

According to the commander of the legion, the commander of the "Night Raven Catcher" at that time also ridiculed the "mountain guards" in a strange way, saying that the heavy infantry they were proud of were like a group of turtles with thick shells on their backs, how could they catch people, and the regiment commander was so angry that he almost scolded on the spot.

But even if he was unhappy in his heart, as a soldier, whether it was the commander of the legion or Fletcher, he had to obey the orders of the lord first, the former was ready to think of a way, and in any case asked his own people to join the pursuit, as for the latter, he was sent back to open the city gates, and together with the reinforced soldiers, he hurried to clear the customs of the merchants gathered at the gate, and waited, and when the new wind and rain blew, maybe it would be chaos again.

After returning, Fletcher also received good news, after examination, both of his subordinates were only hit by heavy weapons and fell unconscious, and there was no danger to their lives, as if the other party did not have the intention to kill.

………

After waiting at the gate for more than an hour, the closed steel gate of the "Border Town" finally reopened, and after the big loss of the green-skinned warlord "Misty Mountain Potbelly King" a few years ago when he smashed open the city gate with an axe, the Elector of the "Avi Collar", Earl Grunwald, came to the "Border Town" and spent a lot of money to find dwarf craftsmen to order a real big iron gate to prevent the recurrence of the last tragedy.

The iron gate of hundreds of catties slowly opened, and three hundred "mountain guards" holding giant shields and halberds lined up in two columns, marching out with heavy steps, standing on both sides of the city gate.

At the same time, many yellow figures armed with muskets also appeared on the city wall, and their appearance quickly quieted down the noisy crowd outside the city, and the air became a little more solemn.

Order was re-established, and there was no need for these watchful warriors to say much, and the businessmen who were good at observing words and expressions took the initiative to form several long queues and obediently wait to be checked.

There was such a thing just now, although it was not a big deal, but it also made the level of vigilance obviously raise a notch, no one dared to provoke these ugly-faced soldiers at such a time, anyway, now the number of people at the city gate has increased, and the speed of passage is not slow.

Because he rushed to the city in advance, he only waited for a short time, and it was the turn of the "Forgiveness Mercenary Group".

In fact, before they were lined up, these mercenaries in uniform had received special attention from the defenders, especially since there were two beautiful figures standing out from the crowd among them, and anyone could not help but take a few more looks.

Immediately after "Miss Brienne", Fitandilla, who deliberately hid her identity, also stepped out of the carriage, she had already changed into a signature armor "Silver Battle Song", like the former, wearing a capable mercenary equipment, but the ponytail on the back of her head was still tied high, beating flexibly with the movement of her footsteps, adding a bit of liveliness and dynamics, looking like an ordinary young mercenary, no one could have imagined that her true identity was the lord of a city that controlled the life and death of tens of thousands of people.

Although there are also a few ordinary female mercenaries in the team of the mercenary group - like the one who drives for Fitandila, but in terms of appearance and temperament, they can't be compared with the other two, Stone and Fitandila also involuntarily stand together after getting out of the car, plus a Rip, when the city gate is closed, the three of them have a ride and chatter, right to pass the time.

During this period, I don't know how many murderous eyes were set on the bald mercenary captain, needless to say, they naturally wanted to replace them and get in close contact with the two eye-catching beauties.

In just half an hour, more than a dozen groups of businessmen came forward to inquire about the destination of the mercenary group, and after learning that they were going to "Aviheim", the capital of "Avi Ling", they all expressed their desire to accompany and were willing to pay a good reward, but the eyes of these people kept rolling on the two women, obviously the drunkard did not mean to drink.

At first, Lei Pu was polite and refused one by one, but later when he found that his lord's face was getting more and more ugly, he hurriedly asked Marceau to bring a dozen mercenaries to stand beside him, and when he saw someone coming, he stopped them directly, and did not give them a chance to get close, so as not to bring danger down, well, mainly to protect these merchants who don't know the height of the sky, in case the head of the temper comes up, I am afraid that it will not cause a tragedy.

This hasn't entered the empire yet, and he doesn't want to delay his lord's trip because of this kind of.
