Chapter 283. The city of Grey Mist begins martial law
The battle at the Everglades had just ended, and the Ketuf River seemed to be recovering its luxuriant course, and the well-informed merchants, who did not know where they had gotten the information, sped up their sailing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Samar City and Grey Mist City have entered a state of martial law, and a large number of infantry have begun to be issued weapons by the town hall, standing on the city walls as if preparing for battle, and one by one they are all suspicious, except for those nobles who really control the real power, these low-level soldiers have no idea what is happening.
Perhaps only on the walls of the Outer Harbor District of Grey Mist City, the infantry of the city guards could guess a little bit of relevance, because they were not informed who the enemy was, and they also had a clue by guessing.
Not long ago, the regular army of Grey Mist City, the real main force, was completely wiped out outside Cape Town on the east coast, so that on the current inner city wall, all the people who were responsible for the defense were the private armies of the nobles, and as for the Governor's army, they had already shrunk into the Governor's Castle.
Now there is no one who is willing to give his life to the Governor, especially this group of hooligans in the city defense team, who are mostly obscene things turned by the Rotten Algae Gang, and they value their lives quite seriously.
A burly figure walked over slowly, and the hooligans in this group of city defense teams suddenly shuddered, and they were still standing loosely, but they all straightened their waists a little.
They were obviously a little afraid of the burly figure, because since the death of Boss Harold, this centurion of the city defense team, who originally took refuge in the Rotten Algae Gang, took out several leaders of the Rotten Algae Gang with great vigour, and became the city defense team, and the only boss of the Rotten Algae Gang.
However, this boss is more strict with them than the original Harold, although he is not stingy with money on weekdays, giving them extra food and increasing salary, but more corporal punishment and the discipline of strong men are also stricter.
They feel that they have really changed from hooligans to qualified city defense soldiers, but this kind of miserable life is not what they want, if it weren't for the fact that the outer harbor area and the outer city area have been controlled by this centurion elder, they would have left their hands behind and chose to stand on their own, or live in peace.
Of course, it is not for nothing that there is such a choice, and the guy who chose to set up a new rogue organization on his own has been completely wiped out by this centurion with the city defense team, and his head has been hung on a spear for three days.
And those who want to live in peace and security are to let this centurion carry a leather whip and pull it back at home, the miserable appearance is simply shocking, and it also deters those who are trying to escape from the city defense team and the rotten algae gang, they all choose to lurk and wait and see.
"Lift your spirits to me, don't be like you didn't wake up."
As the hundred-man leader of the original city defense team, and now the leader of the city defense team, and the boss of the Rotten Algae Gang, Bowman can be called the number one person in the outer harbor area, even the city hall in the inner city has his seat.
His eyes swept over the group of recruits standing messily on the city wall, and he didn't ask too much, after all, he was a rogue selected from the Rotten Algae Gang, and it was already good to be able to train to such a point in a short period of time, at least he could wear armor and hold weapons, and the courage to face the enemy was enough.
Truly qualified troops need to be trained, and Bowman, who was once born in the elite guards in the inner city, certainly understands all this, and if he didn't get the news today, he must be stationed on the city wall, he will continue to train this group of recruits.
"I don't know what's going on."
Bowman exhaled slowly, his skills were not enough to be the commander of the city defense team, but he swept over the towering stone walls of the inner city in the distance, and the corners of his mouth also brought a mocking smile: "It's a pity." ”
He did not hide that he took refuge in the inner city city hall, the arms of the financial officer, and firmly hugged the big thick legs of this city hall, because there was no power, he belonged to him who was the lowest level of 100 people, and if there was no thrust behind him, it would be difficult to become the commander of the city defense team.
But now that Bowman is the commander, he is happy with his decision, and deep down, he doesn't want to be the puppet commander of the city defense team all the time, in fact, he wants to go further.
"The ladder of nobility." He muttered to himself, as an old man in his thirties who had been working in the outer harbor area of Gray Mist City for more than 20 years, Bowman had seen the ups and downs of many forces, such as Clive, the boss of the original city defense team, and Harold, the boss of the original Rotten Algae Gang.
But he had never seen the decline of the decent life of the aristocracy, perhaps he did not understand the struggle between the nobles, and he was not qualified to live in the inner city permanently, but he still wanted to go further and become a nobleman!
"Lord Bowman, why did you declare martial law so urgently?"
The same burly strong man walked up quickly, his face looked honest, swept the nervous appearance of the surrounding city defense infantry, and subconsciously touched the back of his head with his hand, and asked suspiciously: "Is there another war?" ”
Behind him, stout men in leather armor also walked up quickly, and began to arrange defenses along both sides of the city wall, which looked very professional compared to those half-hung rotten algae gangs.
And the city defense infantry from the Rotten Algae Gang also looked at these strong men with some fear, but they all took two steps back, giving up the most dangerous and urgent areas on the city wall to these strong men, and they fell into the relatively relaxed and safe city wall area instead.
"Hehehe, it looks like our boys aren't ready yet."
The burly strong man also shrugged his shoulders, looking at the loose appearance of the soldiers of the city defense team, and there was a little disdain in his eyes, but his face was still honest and said to Bowman: "This is really urgent." ”
Bowman obviously also saw the disdain in his eyes, and couldn't help but snort coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Willard, since you hurricane mercenary group signed a three-month contract with us to assist in defense, then I will be in command now." ”
"Of course, you're the one who pays for it, and of course we'll listen to you, Lord Bowman."
This strong man was Willard, the leader of the Hurricane Mercenary Regiment who was trading goods in the old Silver City on Xiaoyinpan Island, and now this regiment leader stood on the city wall, and he also swept the Ketuff River outside, and said to Bowman: "Our Hurricane Mercenary Regiment takes money to do things, but we still hope to get some help." ”
"What helps?" Bowman was also jealous of this seemingly honest, but actually as cunning as a fox, frowning slightly, and he also said in a deep voice: "It seems that your commission is thirty percent more expensive than usual, aren't you satisfied?" ”
"No, no, no, of course, we are grateful, all of this is a favor from you."
The head of the regiment, Willard, smiled, his honest face was more like an honest man, and he bent down to salute Bowman slightly, but he still pleaded: "But you can't let us fight the enemy without weapons, right?" ”
"What a joke, the mercenary group doesn't even have weapons!" But Bowman's face became more and more gloomy, and he swept over the group of mercenaries armed with broad-backed short knives, and said, "Could it be that those short knives on your waists, as well as the leather armor on your bodies, are useless waste?" ”
"No, it's all borrowed by us temporarily."
Captain Willard shook his head, but pointed to many burly and strong men in the distance, those who were still his members, and just sighed helplessly and said: "If you can, the rest of my more than 300 members can also take weapons and put on leather armor, we just borrow, in this battle, if the contract expires, we will return it." ”
But Bowman looked at this Willard leader, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly mocking: "However, do you dare to be hostile to Cape Town?" ”
"We are just mercenaries, whoever gives us money, we help."
Willard, the head of the regiment, did not hesitate at all, and replied very quickly, but his head was also gently lowered, as if he was surrendering to Bowman.
But his eyes swept over the Ketuf River not far away, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a smile, also with mockery, and said to the commander of the city defense team: "If you can give us enough price." ”
"I'll go to the Quartermaster and arm you all."
Bowman frowned slightly, looked at the regimental commander Willard in front of him, his back molars were also clenched tightly, and he exhaled lightly: "Then in the next three months, you and your mercenaries must all obey my orders, even if it is the order of the city hall, it can only be implemented with my consent." ”
"Of course, you pay." Willard smiled, the mockery in his eyes getting richer, but when he looked up, he had returned to his honest appearance.
