"Chapter 67: The Messenger of Mondona"
On the trail north of Biebertown, a force of more than a hundred men, heavily armed, uniformly dressed and armoured, was advancing north under the leadership of the leading officer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis unit is very different from the towns and towns that it passes through along the way, not only in terms of weaponry, but also in terms of discipline and the high-level fighters who lead the way. And the most striking thing is the flag, the flag that paints a magnificent city, which is called Mondona, "the city of freedom". Perhaps...
Led by this flag, the force advanced unhindered, and pedestrians on the road and patrols in towns avoided and let the force pass. If it had been a month ago, even Mondona's troops would not have dared to be so ostentatious, because the only impression the robbers had of this banner was more gold and fame. However, now that the bandits have been cleared and the threat is minimized, the troops of the main city can once again walk the country roads to patrol the territory belonging to the Free Cities Alliance. It's just that...... The townsfolk and guards along the way looked at them with some resentment and disdain.
Sure enough, the people's hearts are no longer toward us. '''Guard Officer Wren looked at the eyes that shot not far away, and his brow furrowed: ''Although it is not repulsive, there is also a bad feeling. Now that there is no one to welcome us in the north of Mondona, even if the rescue is not timely, the situation should not be so bad. Wren's brows tightened more and more, and finally he sighed helplessly: "Sure enough, he has become the savior, the second ruler here, and it seems that the situation is worse than the rulers imagined!" Wren thought about it for a moment, and then decided that there was nothing too good to do.
''It seems that we can only hope that the Oriental is not our enemy.'' ‘’

Today's weather was exceptional, perfect for a walk. I lazily walked out of the base camp and wandered around the tribal town, which was already two scenes from when I first came, with a 5-meter-high wall surrounding it and enclosing a large area of fertile land. Thirty (later) second-class houses were lined up like a phalanx, and people dressed in simple and rough clothes shuttled through them, and without me intervening at all, many of them had begun to set up stalls in front of their homes and shout to solicit customers. Their goods are simple, but very practical, such as a farmer's family, selling some crops and corresponding seeds. Some worked as hunters on a makeshift basis, selling furs and wrapped meat. The blacksmith apprentices had very few goods, just odd and end tools made by themselves, but the business was good. Some residents find it inconvenient to go to the river to get water, so they dig their own wells, and I believe that after a while they will see the workers carrying water. In addition to the magical land of the farm, the residents also grow some simple crops in front of their homes, which are common vegetables in the neighborhood, and some flax, which is a cash crop. In just two days, the inhabitants of this tribal city have perfected the basic living facilities in the city on their own.
Sure enough, the town will continue to improve on its own. ''I now agree with what Vera told me that the city is not a rigid game statistic, only the infrastructure is perfect, and the residents will improve other things on their own. For me, as a lord, I am naturally very happy with this. After all, whether it's a tribe or a royal family, the economy supports the military, and although I am a lord, I can't spend all my energy on town building.
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"
"Huh?" I heard a high-pitched, piercing sound that was screeching at the scene, and I immediately thought of the source of the sound.
"Yes, I can finally speak human language, I thought the Gruul would." I looked at the dancing goblin scout in front of me and reluctantly complimented him.
"My lord, my lord, Gollum, letter, letter, ......letter," the goblin said a difficult word as he handed me a letter written on a roll of parchment. Confused, I accepted the letter and opened it.
"Hmm...... I see. Who, you go and call Meron and Philip, I'll wait for them in the base camp. I commanded the goblin and walked into the base camp.
The goblin was very fast, and it didn't take long for Meron and Philip to be at the base camp, but their expressions were so serious that I was a little surprised.
"My lord, a goblin just found us talking nonsense for a while, and he spoke very quickly, and we were very worried, so we dared to come. Did something happen? ”
I was suddenly speechless at the goblin, and it looked like I was praising him for nothing. I told Miron and Philip not to be nervous, sat them down, and gave them the letter. Mei Long took the letter, read it carefully for a while, and his expression became relaxed.
"It seems that they know our power and power, and now we know what they are here for." After Mellon finished speaking, he handed the letter to Philip. I didn't answer Mellon directly, but waited with him for Philip to finish the letter.
"Yes, they showed their intentions, and the visit of "peace", although it was obviously a lie, was very good for us. After reading the letter, Philip's expression returned to his previous state and returned the letter to me.
This letter was written to me by the Governor of the Union Mondona, Mayor Tomario, and in addition to thanking us for the expulsion of the robbers, the peace of the town, and some nonsense about reconquiring the lost land, the main content of which was to tell us that they had sent a delegation to visit us for the purpose of "thanking us". Of course, we didn't take the letter seriously, and I read in it a smack of Mayor Mario's sarcasm. If Mondo really wants to visit us, why do you need to find someone to notify us of the shoe, just write it directly in advance by the main person in charge. This is obviously a temporary plan, they estimate that they have made a lot of plans, and Mei Long guessed that if we were weaker, it would not be a polite greeting, maybe not even a letter. But just now the undead also came to report back, and they found this force, more than a hundred people. The man in the lead seems to have discovered the existence of the undead, but he did nothing, just beckoned to the undead, as if to convey a message to us.
"It seems that they are not going to visit suddenly, these people are obviously here to find out our strength, but how to deal with them still needs to think carefully." Mei Long analyzed.
"Since there are guests visiting, we will "entertain" well. But whatever their purpose is, their strength is not enough to defeat us directly, we just need to fight for more benefits. Philip still had that expression, but I noticed an imperceptible smile in that expression.
I know what to do!
"Mei Long, I need gold. Quick, gather the troops, clean up all the powerful monsters in the nearby forests and plains, I want to dig out two valuable treasure chests, let's build a few more houses, and get more people to ......"
――――――――――
Wren led his troops to the outside of the walls of the town of Babra, the gates were not opened, and the archers on the walls pointed their arrows at them, even though they were carrying the banner of Mondona. Wren wasn't surprised by this, and didn't think much about whether it was the order of the Oriental. Because before the bandits attacked, the guards of Babra were also a practice for them.
Wren gave the order to lower the flag, rode his horse to the wall, and shouted with the strength of a high-ranking warrior: "We are Mondona's troops, I am Mondona's emissary-guard officer Renne Pacino, I bring greetings from His Excellency the Consul, to meet Mr. Pan Lee Jr.!" ”
The roar of the high-ranking warrior could echo under the city wall for more than ten seconds, and many of the archers on the wall unconsciously retreated, only the pink-haired female archers remained unmoved.
After a while, an old man with a good sheep's beard peeked out from the wall and called out to them: "Officer Wren, I am the new mayor of Babra, Alberin*'s disciple, Lord Lee, who knows you will come, but he is not in Babra. ”
When Wren heard this, he was puzzled. He received the news that the man from the East had indeed come to the town of Babra, eliminated the bandits there, and ruled there. From the mouth of the so-called mayor, you can also hear that the town of Babula has indeed become his territory, you know, since the establishment of the Free Cities Alliance, there is no longer the title of "adult", he calls the Oriental like this, it can be seen that he has controlled this place. But what is the situation when he is not there? To the north is the mountains, and beyond is Subic. Everything else is a forest, where would he be if he wasn't in Babra? Wren decided that the old man was lying to him, so he also said unceremoniously: "Mr. Mayor, since this is the case, then you can tell me where Mr. Li can go?" If not, please ask him to come out and see me. ”
"We will send someone to take you to the "Tibetan Soldier City", where Lord Li's new town is! Alblin shouted again, and as soon as he had finished, a crack opened in the door of Babra, and out of it came two green-skinned dwarfs.
"New town? What a situation! What other new towns are north of Mofei Babra? Thinking of this, Wren immediately vetoed himself, he had looked at the map many times, had been to this northern border several times, but there had never been a village road built there, let alone a town. These people can't build a town in a few days! The gods are above, and he would rather believe that his wife is a man than this joke! However, what they said didn't look like a lie, and the two goblins began to gesture to guide the team.
"Maybe they've built a camp." Wren thought about it for a moment, and thought that maybe they were preparing to set up a camp garrison, and then gave the camp an exaggerated name. Wren told himself this, and left with the two goblins, half-convinced.
It was boring along the way, and the two goblins could only speak a word or two, and they couldn't understand what they were talking about, let alone get information from them. Wren whispered to Chris, the captain next to him.
After a long walk, Wren estimated that they had reached the plains to the north, and although he was still puzzled, he could confirm that Mr. Li was here.
The goblins suddenly ran up, screaming at them and motioning for them to move forward, and Wren felt that something was wrong, but after thinking twice, he still walked through the forest.
"Oh my God!" Wren froze as he made his way through the woods, and a wooden wall cut across half of the plain, isolating it from a large area. Behind the city walls, dozens of cooking smoke slowly rose, and teams of neat and strong troops continued to patrol under the city walls, shouting loud trumpets. Wren swears there was nothing here just a few days ago.
"Chris." Wren asked Chris, who was also stunned.
"What's the matter? Sir. Chris asked back in a bit of a daze.
"Am I married to a man?"
"What?" Chris was stunned and looked at Wren with a puzzled expression. But Wren didn't reply to him.
The goblin ran to the bottom of the wall, screaming, and with a shout, the gate slowly opened......
