Harvested two allies and found a teleportation array and a respawn point in the 'Graceful Pasture' (Urumqi). Boss Su was very satisfied and emotional: these two indispensable function points for players are at the foot of Yamalik Mountain, and in order to fit the game, this mountain uses its other name 'Demon Mountain'. Seeing the goats all over the mountain, Boss Su felt that it would be better to use the paraphrase of Yamalik and directly call this place 'the land of goats'. As for Red Mountain and Catfish Mountain, compared to Demon Mountain, it is more like a big rock and a big dirt bag. The place here is not big, and there are still two countries here: Hongshan belongs to the East and Mi Kingdom, and Ayushan belongs to the robbery country. Ballu and Ba Ballu respectively regard these two countries as their own pockets, but see the fact that these two countries are about to die.

Finding the teleportation array, Seven Swords can finally go offline and rest.

The next day, along the road to the west, Qijian also found the country of Shan Huan, which was Changji a long time ago, and this city-state was famous for being the 'smallest' country in the Western Regions. Seven Swords passed by here, and only saw two NPC soldiers in total. What's even more uncomfortable than the small number of people is that there isn't even a teleportation array here.

The country of Xijimi (Hutubi) is considered a medium-sized country, and the seven swords see the military camp and the royal palace here. Chat with the NPCs, who proudly claim to have 500 cavalry alive in the Great Valley (capital), the most powerful country within a radius of 100 miles - our cavalry often patrols the Manas River!

"I don't think he's proud." Team Quinn Harry chatted: "Looks like I'm scared!" ”

The viscount asked, "Isn't there a country by the river called Wu Greedy?" How did your guys patrol and where? ”

The people of the West and Mi country disdain: "The army of that country is less than fifty people!" If they hadn't stayed in the west all the time, we would have destroyed them a long time ago! ”

That's a good thing. The second smallest country in the Western Regions is between the target and the West and Mi Kingdom, so adventurers can get their hands on it! After crossing the Ma River, it is the Wusun Kingdom, which is the most powerful country among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions! The strange thing is that this large country, which is known as 200,000 empty strings, under the governance of the Great Khan, there are more than a dozen large and small city-states distributed on its territory. The Kyrgyz people's Yuqi Pagoda Stone, the Karamak people's Usu, including Xijimi and Uzuli, are actually city-states loyal to the Great Khan of Kukotaiyi. It is said that as long as the vassal city-states did not destroy each other's countries and still obeyed the orders of the Great Khan, Kokotaii actually hoped that these countries would attack each other, and only in this way could these countries send bloody cavalry to the Great Khan when the Great Khan needed soldiers.

Viscount Twilight explains, "Only in this case will we have a chance to establish our own city-state. Demonstrate sincerity, pay taxes, and send men out when the Great Khan needs them. Failing to do this, you risk facing hundreds of thousands of cavalry coming to attack. Not to mention us, even the ten major guilds united can't cope with such a big scene! ”

Wrangler: "Each of the ten major guilds can come up with 100,000 horses, right?" ”

"One day or two days? Even if they have hundreds of thousands of players, fighting hundreds of thousands of NPCs - how many days do you think a battle of hundreds of thousands of people will take? On a monthly basis, even if the server can stand it, the players can't stand it! Maybe the pros can stand it, but how many pros are there? ”

The Wrangler smirked, "That's right." Whether it's reality or games, fighting a war is burning money. Even if it is supported by the consortium behind the guild, the system does not agree! ”

The development policy has been set a long time ago, that is, it can be operated in the subsidiary space of the main world, and if the Seven Swords dared to do this in the main world, I am afraid that they would have been exterminated by Li Dingjun's troops long ago.

Seven Swords' original plan was to find a miniature city-state like the Shan Huan Kingdom, control its king and army, and become a shadow monarch. But this is always different from directly controlling a city-state, which is, in vain terms, bathing in a raincoat, which is too unpleasant. Moreover, most of these small city-states have their own stronger city-states to which they are attached, and they are often subjected to the double exploitation of the dependent city-states and the Kazakh Great Khan, and the tax burden that needs to be paid is also heavier. Therefore, the final decision of the Seven Swords was to build a city-state and establish another country.

was blackmailed by a few horse thieves again, and the old Zhao family felt that they were about to burn. The crops and cotton that had been planted so hard were carried on horseback by horse thieves, and the few life professional players led by themselves had nothing to do! He can't remember how many times he looked for the local officials patrolling the area, and when he saw the patrolman coming, his saliva was about to squirt: "I told you how many times!" If any more horse thieves come and rob us of the grain we grow, I will refuse to pay taxes to the Khan!" Today, don't even think about taking a tael of grain and cotton from me! I will denounce you to the Khan, enjoying the tax burden but doing nothing! ”

This patrolling soldier was none other than a tax collector under the Great Khan of Kokotaii, and he was only forty-five ranks. Seeing the adventurer's anger, he just sneered: "I told you a long time ago that bandits are rampant here and the herdsmen are tired!" It's you yourself who don't listen! What do you think I care about your food? To tell you the truth, everything you turned in before was stuffed into my personal pocket! You go sue! Let me see if a weak chicken like you, who has a hard time slaughtering sheep, can make it to Balkesh Lake alive! ”

Since it is to be developed in the epic space of Manas, the old Zhao family has also done some research on the history and topography of the Western Regions, and knows that Balkesh Lake is not in the Chinese territory at all. How is this possible? "In that case, I will give you a gold coin every month in the future, and the affairs here, including our income and the extermination of bandits, have nothing to do with you! Neither do you care, nor will you shorten your benefits! ”

A gold coin? Too little! Although I have a good balance between an adventurer and a horse thief, I am worth more than one gold coin! "Two gold coins!"

"Deal!"

"Hmph, cunning Han people, you don't see how fertile the land is! If it weren't for those horse thieves, where would it be your turn to come to reclaim the famine? ”

After signing the 'agreement', the old Zhao family was no longer polite: "Since it has been discussed, you should leave quickly!" Our leader has rushed to the country of Shanhuan. He has a bad temper and will not be polite to any hooligans and bandits who run amok! ”

"I hope he lives to see you!"

Viscount Twilight led his team out of the country and stopped in front of a wide riverbed: "This is the Manas River. ”

The Manas River flows through Hejing County, Manas County, Shawan County, and Buxel Mongolian Autonomous County, passes through Little Rock City, and flows through Karamay, watering more than 200,000 hectares of land. Farming along both sides of the river began in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and it had been a nomadic land for various ethnic groups before. Historically, the Dayue people, the Wusun people, the Sai people, the Xiongnu people, the Ding Ling people and the Han people have all lived in this land. They speak their own language, wear their own clothes, eat and play their own ways, and the only thing they have in common is that they are all inseparable from the river.

The Manas River is known as the "golden jade bottom", producing the world-famous Mahe jasper, and the upper reaches can be mined for high-quality sand gold. These outputs laid the foundation for Manas's later development.

In the game, it is still very barren, and there are no 'jade pickers' and gold diggers that are commonplace in later generations, and there is no bridge connecting the banks of the river. Fortunately, the road clearly visible on both sides of the river indicates the shallow area where the river can be crossed, and a stone pillar more than one person high is engraved with a scale that can cross the river - at this time, the stone pillar is completely exposed to the river bank, and it is natural to wade through the water.

On the other side of the river, several NPCs on horseback saw the adventurer and instead of crossing the river, they turned their horses around and left.

Tianshan Qixia said: "A forty-fifth level horse thief." What do they want to do? ”

Boss Twilight: "It's not coming to welcome us anyway!" Let's cross the river, we have been working hard in the Manas epic space for half a year, and today we can finally see the results! Celebrate with food and wine in the evening! ”

The crowd rode across the river, and the deepest part of the water was only at the knees of the horses. The river was cold, causing the mount's health to drop by three or five points.

After crossing the Ma River, an arrow was shot from the poplar forest on the bank of the river, and the sound of shouting and neighing of horses came one after another, and about 100 horse thieves with different costumes, armor and weapons swarmed out, surrounding more than 20 adventurers on the bank of the Ma River.

Looking at the horse thief formation, it seems that it was the confluence of three horse thieves to form such a scale.

The three leaders are level fifty, and the rest are level forty-five. Supposedly, such a team should not have the guts to twist the tiger whiskers of a team of adventurers with an average level of more than fifty-five, but they are here. The three of them discussed for a while as if they were fists, and then a team led by the leader rushed towards the adventurer.

Tianshan Wonder Hero: "It seems that I want to weigh our catties!" Who goes? "He himself has an offensive ultimate, but he doesn't have the deterrent ability to kill with one hit.

When he saw it, he said, "I'll go with Sister Feiyan!" ”

The two rode up to meet them, and only jumped off their horses when they took over—neither of them had horse fighting skills. When he saw the blood, he reprimanded: "Viscount Twilight is coming, who dares to do it?" ”

…… The lion roared.

Then there is the Sky Fire Meteor of the Southern Flying Goose.

There are two moves in total, and most of these more than 30 horse thieves have been lying down, not injured and off their horses, but most of them dead! The few remaining who didn't die were shocked by the lion's roar skill, and they all shook their heads in place, and they couldn't even find the direction to flee back!

Kicked to the iron plate! The rest of the horse thieves immediately knew that it was useless to have a lot of people, and they turned their horses' heads and wanted to escape, where could they outrun the golden horse of the Twilight boss?

There was another lion's roar in the ears of the horse thieves, and even the horses were so weak that no one could sit on the horse's back, and they fell to the ground like dumplings, and most of them could not even get up.

When the roar in their ears dissipated, they saw the two masters kneeling in front of the adventurer. Everyone looked at each other, and needless to say, they also knelt down on their knees.

"Horse thief, tell me, what do you want to do when you go to the Ma River to intercept our Seven Swords mercenaries?"

"Your Excellency, you misunderstood! We're here to greet you! ”
