The doors and windows of the Inland Revenue Office are closed, but fortunately, an oil lamp is lit, bringing a glimmer of light to the huge space. The lampstand was placed on the desk, and an orc in an officer's robe lay on the table in a daze, and around him sat a circle of orc soldiers, all of whom looked terrified, like frightened fawns.

"Outside, what's going on now?" The orc lying on his stomach got up and faced Cheng Xiaotian, revealing Kundula's unique old face.

Cheng Xiaotian told the truth: "Our people have been scattered, all over the grassland, chased and killed like rabbits, and their heads are cut off to receive rewards."

Kundula smiled bitterly and shook his head: "One head can be exchanged for 10 gold coins, and we can all exchange for hundreds of coins combined, that lord is really generous enough, I am a little tempted."

It wasn't funny at all, and the soldiers in the circle shuddered at the same time, crouching on the ground and looking at each other. Cheng Xiaotian was also stunned when he heard this, this old guy really wanted to carry a few orc heads to find himself to receive the reward, to give it or not......

"Don't give, don't give......" This thing is so ridiculous that Cheng Xiaotian was startled by his own thoughts, and he actually shouted.

"Don't give what?" Kundura is inexplicable.

Cheng Xiaotian knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly changed his words: "My lord, you heard it wrong, I actually asked the little cub squad leader if he had been here?"

"He hasn't been here, and even if he does, he'll have to be there tomorrow." Kundura was now full of worries, and after speaking, he ignored it and went back to his stomach.

Everyone was worried, no one spoke in the room, Cheng Xiaotian learned from those orc soldiers, and sat on the ground against the wall to rest. The only thing he can do now is to wait, hoping that tomorrow the little cub squad leader will bring Yu Yu with him.

Time passed little by little, and it was not until dusk that there was movement outside the door again.

Suddenly, the gate rang three times in a row, and the soldier who had previously guarded the door showed joy: "It's the tax collector who has returned."

The door opened, and an orc in a gray robe walked in, it was the local tax official that Cheng Xiaotian had seen. After entering the door, the tax collector turned and inserted the door, looking back at the soldiers, his face solemn.

"The camp outside the town is empty, and the people don't know where they have gone, and I have found traces of adventurers nearby, and it seems that when they have gathered enough men, they will attack us." The tax collector looked calm, but the other orcs who heard the news were not calm, and the room suddenly became noisy.

Immediately afterwards, the tax collector leaned against the door, swept the crowd with cold eyes, and sounded another alarm.

"I think the biggest threat right now is not the adventurers, but the residents of this town, and on the way back, I can clearly feel the murderous intent in their eyes, and a few guys have followed me for a while, and now I'm afraid I'm hiding in the alley across the street."

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers immediately fell into a panic, and a small number of adventurers could say that they could at least fight. But there are more than 2,000 residents in Tianshuijing Town, and this is going to poison them, and they can't get enough of them chopping into meatballs.

"My lord, we must get out of here." A soldier shouted eagerly at the tax collector.

With him taking the lead, all the soldiers stood up and discussed countermeasures. Some said they would leave immediately, while others said they would wait until dawn to be safe.

Cheng Xiaotian and the tax officer watched coldly, did not express any opinions, and after arguing for a while to no avail, everyone turned their eyes on Kundula. His rank was that of Lieutenant, the highest here, and only he could make decisions.

In fact, in Kundula's view, there was no value in discussing this matter at all, and he had no choice at all.

"Everyone have a good rest tonight, and retreat with me early tomorrow morning." Kundu pulled down the order and continued to lie on his desk and pretend to sleep. He has severe night blindness, does he need to say anything?

In fact, it's not just him, orcs eat mostly meat and rarely eat fresh vegetables, so night blindness is very common

"Yes, Lord Overseer." The tax collector bowed his head and said he was willing to obey, then he glanced at the soldiers and asked, "Which of you is going to fetch some water from the well."

This was immediately echoed by everyone, people can go three days without eating, but they can't go a day without drinking water, they are already thirsty. But the question is, now that it's getting late, and there are legendary terrible mobs outside, who should be entrusted with this glorious task of fetching water?

The so-called shelf is better than death on the shelf, the eyes of the orc soldiers just focused, and without waiting for them to speak, Cheng Xiaotian consciously stood up voluntarily.

"I'm going to fetch water." Cheng Xiaotian lazily walked to the corner, picked up the bucket and went out of the door, and with a "clang" behind him, the door was closed and bolted up.

"Brother, righteous enough!" The soldier who guarded the door shouted through the crack in the door.

Cheng Xiaotian couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and left.

The sun was about to set, the square was dusk, and there was a long queue in front of the well in the center. It's rush hour, and people come home after a hard day's work to fetch water and cook.

Cheng Xiaotian walked to the back of the line, waited quietly, looked around, and suddenly a person attracted his attention.

I saw a thin young man sitting on the ground by the edge of the well, holding his knees in his hands, burying his head between his legs and not moving, not knowing whether he was asleep or thinking. This young man Cheng Xiaotian recognized that it was the young man from the Byron grain store, and he asked for a piece of bread from him just now.

Have you fallen asleep when you are full? Or are you afraid of going back and being beaten and scolded by that evil shopkeeper? Looking at the helpless thin figure, Cheng Xiaotian's heart suddenly tightened.

At this moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps from the north side of the street, and when I turned my head to look, I saw a tall figure walking towards me.

The person who came was an orc soldier, holding a large knife in his hand, and his posture was quite arrogant. However, the eyes of the surrounding residents were not very friendly to him, and several big men had already begun to exchange glances, and when they reached that momentary resonance, they wanted to raise their knives and kill people!

Seeing this person, Cheng Xiaotian swallowed his saliva, this orc turned out to be the mallet, never imagined that this guy would follow him all the way here through the pursuit of countless adventurers.

"Hey, have you ever seen a puppet army named Eddie Murphy? He's probably that tall, and he's holding a long staff in his hand, he's amazing! The mallet, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, actually asked a human man, completely ignoring the cold light that flashed in the other person's eyes.

"I didn't ...... Didn't see it. The man replied casually, and quietly touched his hand behind his waist, where a dagger was inserted. On the other side of the street, two strong men glanced at each other, tilted their heads at the same time, and silently surrounded each other.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the side of the street: "My son, I have found you!"

The man who touched the knife was startled, and subconsciously retracted his hand, and the two opposite were stunned and stopped.

In front of everyone's eyes, I saw that the door behind the man was pushed open, and an old man rushed out, hugged the orc mallet, and shouted with excitement on his face: "My child, why have you not come back until now, and you only ate a piece of black bread at noon, and now you are hungry, right?" Hurry home with me. ”

The mallet was still struggling, but when he heard the words "black bread", his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, but I am hungry...... Oh...... Father! ”

This "Dad" made the old man very excited, and he burst out of his eyes, clinging to the waist of the mallet, and slapping and slapping ......

The following picture is so beautiful, Cheng Xiaotian didn't dare to look at it, he turned his head viciously, staring at the wellhead in front of him, and an urge to jump down gushed out, and he couldn't stop it at all!
