Chapter 17: The City of Vila
Yang Ye's dream of traveling lightly was shattered, because now Yang Ye is accompanied by 6 boxes of jewelry, more than 10 boxes of Roman glassware, more than 2,800 barbarian prisoners, and an escort team composed of 600 Roman youth troops, oh...... By the way, there's also a long bill of purchase handed to him by Publius. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Finally, in Publius's eyes that he was still thinking about what else could be sold, Yang Ye set off with the mighty team in embarrassment, and at the same time, Yang Ye secretly swore in his heart that he would not tell Publius his departure time next time.
Two days later, a force with a wolf's head banner on a certain plain was driving forward under the leadership of a knight, and this knight was Yang Ye, at this time, Yang Ye was looking at the long purchase list in front of him with a headache, and secretly cursed Publius, just when Yang Ye gritted his teeth, Christian suddenly came to Yang Ye and said: "Lord Lord, the knight who went out to investigate reported that about half a day before is the city of Vera you said."
Vera City is the largest city in the entire Canaanite Empire closest to the 100,000 mountains in the east, rich in fur, the whole city is about 700,000 people live, and because this is the largest city closest to the 100,000 mountains, there is an army of 100,000 people stationed here all year round to guard against possible barbarian invasions in the 100,000 mountains, and because of the abundance of fur here, plus there is a 100,000 troops here, the huge consumption power also makes Vera City a relatively developed commercial city.
Hearing Christian say that Villa City was about to arrive, Yang Ye came to his senses and said eagerly: "What are you waiting for, speed up!" Christian told the soldiers to rest in Vila today. "After all, Yang Ye hasn't seen what this city in the Otherworldly Continent looks like with his own eyes, so he is a little anxious. Yang Ye's order was quickly conveyed, and the entire team improved significantly.
Soon Yang Ye came to a place about 1,000 meters away from Vera City, but Yang Ye looked at Vera City in front of him and suddenly doubted the memory of his body, this is really Vera City? A military powerhouse? Looking at it from a distance, Yang Ye could see the dilapidated outer city wall of Vera City, because Yang Ye saw that there was a huge gap in the city wall, although it was not completely a gap, but it was not far away, right? Can such a city really protect against barbarian invasions? Yang Ye was deeply skeptical about this.
Just when Yang Ye was deeply doubtful of his memory, a small team of cavalry rushed out of Vera City and rushed towards Yang Ye, and soon this small team of cavalry came about 50 meters away from Yang Ye, and was stopped by Yang Ye's guards, and then in front of Yang Ye, who was surrounded by the guards.
The leader of this team was a man with a scar on his face, and after seeing Yang Ye, he knew that Yang Ye was the leader of this team, so he spoke: "This lord, I am the squad leader of the Villa City Cavalry Legion, Bick, may I ask what you are doing here?" The city of Vila bans the ...... of more than 2,000 people It's okay, my lord, please come in" Cavalry Captain Bick's words were not finished, and when he suddenly saw the banner erected high behind Yang Ye, he instantly changed his tone, you must know that in this world, it is strictly forbidden for civilians other than nobles to hold the flag high when traveling.
Of course, Yang Ye also saw the changes that occurred after this knight's eyes glanced at the banner, but he didn't say anything, because at this time, the benefits of being a nobleman were obvious, so why did Yang Ye refuse? So Yang Ye spoke: "Then it's okay, I'll go into the city." "Of course, this nobleman." Bick said, after saying that, Bick gave way for Yang Ye to pass.
Soon Yang Ye came to the city of Vera, at this time Yang Ye was able to intuitively feel how serious the corruption of Vera City was, and the walls of the entire city of Vera City were already full of cracks, which made Yang Ye have a feeling that it could collapse at any time.
But the city walls have become like this, and Villa City has not allocated funds to maintain the city walls, you must know that Villa City is a city that can't even pay for the maintenance of the city walls! Yang Ye was already imagining the image of the city lord of Vera City, and he was definitely fat-headed and big-eared. Suddenly, Yang Ye thought of the task that the system asked to build an empire, yes! Why don't I care about these things, and it's not my city, and isn't it more convenient for me to occupy them? Thinking about it, Yang Ye didn't know where it was crooked......
Soon Yang Ye and his entourage passed through the dilapidated city walls of Vera City under the condition that Yang Ye was distracted, and after Yang Ye and they passed through the city gate, the noise of the city kept coming, I have to say that Vera City is quite prosperous and the city wall outside Vera City is completely in stark contrast, the noise of this sound will wake Yang Ye up from his fantasy, Yang Ye who is sober from his fantasy looks at the city curiously, the city has developed roads, and the entire main street can even run seven or eight carriages side by side.
Just as Yang Ye was observing the city, a weak voice sounded in Yang Ye's ears: "That...... Do you need a tour guide for this adult? Yang Ye looked at it curiously, and what entered Yang Ye's eyes was a thin, short, and filthy child, who was looking at Yang Ye with an uneasy face, and he knew that this was a very powerful person, because there was a long line behind him, so he was afraid that they would drive him away.
Yang Ye, who saw the child's uneasy expression, suddenly laughed and said to the child: "Little guy, what's your name?" "Ecker, honorable lord." The child said. Yang Ye turned over and dismounted and came to the child's side and said, "Eker, right?" You're my guide today. With that, he threw a gold coin into Superchild's hand.
And the child who took the gold coin was even more uneasy, "That...... Dear sir, I can't afford to find this coin. Hearing Ecker's words, Yang Ye smiled and said, "I'll give you the rest, okay, take me to the slave market." Hearing Yang Ye's words, Eckel excitedly put away the gold coins and said, "Honorable lord, please come with me." After speaking, he led the way in front of Yang Ye's side.
Soon, Eckel took Yang Ye and his party to the shop of a trading house and said, "Your Excellency, this is the largest slave trading house in Vera City. "Well, I see, you're waiting for me here, and I'm going to ask you to show me around the city." After speaking, Yang Ye was about to walk towards Shang, but before Yang Ye could open his legs, he saw a fat figure in the business house running towards Yang Ye.
"This honorable nobleman, I am Bill, the head of the Deep Blue Trading House here, are you a slave trader?" After all, the entire business bank is not blind, so many people are still indifferent when they come to the door of the business bank.
Hearing Bill's words, Yang Ye said: "That's right, as for the slaves, these are the ones behind me," after speaking, Yang Ye pointed to the barbarian captives behind him, and the barbarians who heard these words showed a resentful look at Yang Ye, but because he hadn't eaten for many days, his body was very weak, and he didn't dare to resist at all under the escort of the Roman warriors around him.
Hearing Yang Ye's words, Bill's gaze looked at those barbarian captives, and after a while, Bill's eyes emitted a golden light, all of them were barbarians in their prime, and such a large number was definitely obtained on the battlefield, and Bill, who had been buying slaves in Villa City all year round, could quickly see this and give the right price.
And the price was absolutely fair, because Bill knew that it was not something that his little steward could offend by capturing so many barbarian forces on the battlefield...... (To be continued)
