Xiongshan Castle, Barry Gate.

As a city established by the Kingdom of Barry in the war between the Snow Dwarves, when it first appeared, it was the front line against the counterattack of the Snow Dwarves, and it was also the gate to protect the country from the attacks of the Snow Dwarves.

As a result, the castle was given the title of Bari Gate, and it was recognized and expected by the citizens of the entire Bari Kingdom who did not want to go through more wars.

But when it was discovered that the Snow Dwarves had not counterattacked as expected, and that even the war on the other side of the northern mountain range had stopped in shock, the unproductive Male Mountain Castle became a burden, and gradually, people changed from recognition and expectation to disgust and disgust.

Xiongshan City has become like a gnawing old man who not only needs to bring income to the family, but also needs to be supported by the elderly.

As the snow dwarves fell silent and Vitos came to power behind the scenes, the position of the city became more and more awkward, the supply and food were gradually reduced, and the army was reduced year by year.

In order to continue to maintain the luxury and aristocratic face, the nobles of Oyama Castle, centered on the lord of the castle, began to enrich the city's own pockets, confiscating the small number of shops and caravans in various names, and handing them over to their connections at higher prices for their personal gain.

Then the soldier became the biggest victim.

The main target of material and food is the soldiers, and the city was originally built to protect against the dwarves, but when the dwarves are unable to shrink, there is naturally no need to continue to spend huge amounts of food.

So some nobles thought about whether they could find a way in this regard.

Think about it, and the heart is heartbeat.

But you can't take the initiative to lay off the soldiers, because the soldiers are reduced, the nobles sitting in the court will find an excuse to reduce the material and food again.

Therefore, the nobles of Ario Mountain Castle proposed, "Then let them leave on their own initiative." ”

No food or salaries, nor the dismissal of soldiers.

So, the soldiers began to flee in groups, and the nobles of Xiongshan City were happy to relax, anyway, the emperor was far away, who knows what was going on here, as long as the names on the military register were still there, and if they were covered up a little, they would naturally be able to get through the tricks.

The fleeing soldiers were homeless, most of them did not know how to make a living, and were forced by life to quickly transform from warriors to protect the people into vicious bandits that roamed the vicinity of Ooyama Castle, and grew stronger and stronger with the discovery of a trade route to the south by a certain merchant.

By chance and necessity, today, these thieves have become organized criminal gangs, rooted in all corners of Xiongshan City, organized and purposeful, and even put aside their previous suspicions and colluded with the nobles of Xiongshan City, secretly set up private checkpoints, and semi-threatened passing merchants to pay tolls.

Whenever someone reported to the official, they fled in advance, and then secretly took revenge on the person who reported the official.

Whenever they encountered an ignorant businessman, they would send troops to encircle and suppress him, using such a merchant as a victim to warn other merchants and encourage their ferocity.

Over time, the merchants of Xiongshan City understood that these bandits could not be provoked.

It is said that it is a bandit, but it is more like the private lackeys of the nobles of Xiongshan City, they are all a group of mad dogs raised by the nobles of Xiongshan City, and they will bite whoever they are ordered to bite.

With this understanding, it is rare for a person not to pay tolls, and even the occasional businessman who does not know the way will quickly understand the reason under the reminder of his companion, and become the same as other businessmen.

Of course, perhaps because they are too comfortable and do not have a unified external environment, the bandits are no longer as united with the outside world as before, and in order to be more generous in their hands, the bandit organizations often secretly act among themselves, and they are far from being as harmonious as they were twenty or thirty years ago.

At the very least, the apparent conflict is becoming more intense.

However, with the civil strife in Ness, the war was profitable, and the enthusiasm of the merchants to go north quickly waned, and the income of the bandits decreased, which invisibly exacerbated the conflict.

Today, a caravan that the bandit organization had been waiting for had finally arrived in the south.

Grizzly Bears and Lone Wolves, the two large bandit groups that were the first to get the news, were the first to get the news.

Grizzly bears and lone wolves are equal in strength, and on the surface, there seems to be a conflict of interest, and they both want to monopolize this caravan and attack each other when the business is sluggish.

As a result, I didn't expect the two sides to have the same idea, and they met unexpectedly, and before the caravan handed over the offering, the two bandit organizations had a quarrel first.

There is no one in the neighborhood who can compare to the grizzly bear and the lone wolf, and they dare not fight them head-on, dare to be angry and dare not speak, everyone is combined, you are already thinking about swallowing the meat and soup before you are dominant, so if you are the dominant family, we will not be able to live.

A few small bandit organizations clapped their hands, and they must not be allowed to become big and sow discord.

After a little provocation, the grizzly bear and the lone wolf, who were already in conflict, became more and more angry, the easier it was to lose their minds, and they had no sense of crisis for too long, so they didn't wait for the caravan to hand over the offerings, and the grizzly bear and the lone wolf went straight to work.

The merchant didn't know that the grizzly bear and the lone wolf had a conflict, so they thought that they were going to swallow the caravan regardless of the rules, and bring the adventurer guards to take the guy directly and shoulder it.

Of course, the adventurer didn't know the difference between the grizzly bear lone wolf, and he directly fought with the grizzly lone wolf, and the scene was directly chaotic, and the anger became heavier and heavier, and finally even those bandit organizations were affected, and they directly evolved into full martial arts.

But the strange thing is that in the end, the losses of the grizzly bear, the lone wolf and the caravan were not large, but only the few small bandit organizations suffered the most losses, and only a few small leaders died.

The voices that Jill and Snowstone heard from a distance were the bandits and caravans that had already fought so hard.

On the sun-lit trade road, no one distinguishes anyone, the adventurers closely protect the caravan leader and the convoy carrying important supplies, the bandits fight fiercely together, weapons each other, the sound of killing alone can be heard for two miles, but the fall is all those small bandit group members.

I didn't know it, and I thought it was the regular army of Xiongshan City arresting the rebels.

"What's going on?" The chaotic battlefield puzzled Jill, how dare this group of bandits, who looked like bandits, to stage an all-out martial deed in the trade road.

"Sister Jir, these are all bandits near Xiongshan City, let's rescue the Ness Country caravan first, and then I'll explain it to you in detail." Snow Stone rushed into battle with a war hammer, and with a blow of his hand, he smashed one of the bandits who rushed towards him, his chest sunken, his eyes bulging, and he couldn't survive.

After changing her image, Jill looked like a very weak rich lady who went out to play, and many bandits looked at Jill with round eyes and rushed to Jill with a smile.

"I'm so lucky today, not only can I kill those turtle grandchildren, but I can also taste the taste of the rich lady......."

With that, more than a dozen bandits rushed straight to Jill.

Hearing the unsightly words of more than a dozen bandits, Jill, who was originally worried about Xueshi's hatred, immediately turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned an ice bolt blast.

"Yo, my little sister is still a spellcaster, and you can't hit anyone with your straight ice arrow." Seeing Jill using spells, more than a dozen bandits without eyesight were not surprised, and immediately rushed towards Jill at a faster speed.

Jill stood still, and when a dozen bandits were about to dodge the ice bolt blast, Jill said softly with a cold face: "Explosion." ”

Rumble!

The flight speed was deliberately controlled, and the ice arrow exploded, and the diffused freezing breath froze more than a dozen bandits, and the ice arrow instantly exploded into hundreds of fragments and pierced into the frozen bandits' bodies, accompanied by a clicking sound, the bandits' bodies suddenly shattered like tempered glass, and with the impact of the explosion, more than a dozen bandits fell to the ground, shattered into countless ice slags.

“！”

The bandits, who had taken a step slower, froze in place, their eyes looking at Jill with only fear in their eyes.

"It turns out that this is the true power of the Ice Bolt Blast...... "No, it should be that the water elemental heart's power bonus to the Ice Bolt blast is too obvious.

After fighting with regular soldiers for too long, Jill almost forgot that for professionals, the Sartre Kingdom Officer-Style Greatsword with a first-level attack is an extremely excellent weapon, not to mention the Ice Bolt Blast, which is slightly more powerful than the ninth-level dwarf bomb.

Glancing lightly at the bandits who turned around and wanted to escape, Jill casually summoned an ice bolt to blast, boom, and several more people turned into countless ice cubes.

Ice Bolt Blast, Jill is currently producing 480 per day.

With only the ice bolt blasting, Jill can destroy thousands of armies alone.
