Chapter 0382: Die of Hunger
"The power of the long-legged family is not very good." Todd grabbed the big axe and looked triumphantly a hundred meters away.
Dozens of 'long-legged reinforcements' were on the opposite side, with only five or six horses, and the rest were all serfs who did not even have armor.
"I'm better than that."
Druinal sneered at the orc, too lazy to refute the fool.
However, the dwarf witch doctor mocked: "I don't know who hid behind Victor a few days ago, and only by throwing fiery glue did he block Fils. A dozen riding shocks with long legs. Afterwards, he also shouted that the long-legged family is strong, and we must be cautious. ”
"Who is this man?" Todd said angrily, "We orcs despise the most retreating wreck, and if we meet one, we will slaughter one, and we will never let such a bad seed survive." ”
Old Borg was familiar with the orcs, and he sneered every day: "Todd, your brain seems to be only the size of a date pit. A few days ago, I don't remember it so quickly. ”
"Nonsense, my head is big, so my brain must be big too." Todd was furious and was about to quarrel with the elder Borg.
Nal couldn't stand these two living treasures, and said to the orc: "Don't talk nonsense, the enemy is on the other side, why don't you go and rush a wave?" ”
Coldwind City is in turmoil, and the Long-legged family and 'rebel' are in a mess. Fils. Filled with illusions, Longlegs ordered the knights of the clan to rush out of the city desperately and seek reinforcements in the territory outside the city.
Within a few tens of kilometers outside the city, there are hundreds, large and small. Half of them are subordinates of the long-legged family, and the overall power is really strong. The 'rebels' led by the elder Arad were very worried about this.
Zhou Qingfeng handled the abyss sacrifice of the Supervision Department, and only his team in the whole city had high morale and physical strength. Old Arad asks him for help intercepting enemy reinforcements arriving in Coldwind.
So for the sake of the overall situation, Todd and others took a small number of men and horses to guard the key intersection outside the city.
The reinforcements from the Long-legged family are really coming, and there are quite a few of them.
Todd asked for a face, and the two companions stared, and he couldn't shrink his head. Nal told him to rush in a wave, and he could only shout at the orc warrior behind him, and rushed over with his axe.
The reinforcements on the opposite side were indeed not strong, and among the five or six horses, there were only two real knights, and the others were squires. The remaining dozens of miscellaneous soldiers were shocked like rabbits when they saw the orcs' strong physique and terrible fangs.
Todd saw that there were not many people on the other side, laughed wildly, and killed harder. But after a while, he stopped in embarrassment, and ran back with an axe in his hands.
Both Nar and Old Borg were shocked, thinking that their companions were in trouble, so they hurriedly went up to answer them, "Todd, what's going on?" How did you run back? ”
The orc said in frustration: "On the opposite side are two sixth-level knights. They said they had no ill intentions and asked about the situation in the city. I thought about it for a while, decided to accept the other party's show of kindness, and came back after a few conversations. ”
Todd is a fourth-level warrior, with a big ticket for the first and second level of the younger brother. He doesn't have a lot of golden fingers like Zhou Qingfeng, and in the face of two sixth-level knights, even if he wins, half of them will have to die.
"What did you talk about?" Nal asked.
The enemy on the opposite side is retreating, and there is no intention of fighting at all.
Todd scratched his head, "They're just asking how many people have died in the Longlegs family?" Who were the magnates who participated in the rebellion? And asked which force we belong to? I've told you the truth. ”
"You said this, and the two sixth-level knights on the opposite side retreated. Aren't they afraid that you will lie and deceive people? ”
Old Borg laughed and said, "You expect this pit-like head to lie and deceive? I can't help but look up to orcs too much. Victor was lazy and sent Todd out to fight, which meant 'don't use your brain now, swing the axe, and you can win by just fighting'. ”
"I think you're mocking me." Todd said angrily.
Nal sighed and shook his head, "What's there to doubt about this, old Borg is indeed mocking you." ”
Todd hurriedly swung his axe and ran around with the short-legged old gnome. Nal shook her head again, feeling bored.
The Long-legged family is really finished, and their retainer reinforcements don't want to fight at all, and they even wish that the main family would lose power and be able to stand on their own.
After guarding the intersection for a day, Nal and the others did not fight a single battle, but only communicated some information with the various forces who came to inquire about the news one after another. Before nightfall, they withdrew to the city to rest.
The 'rebellion' in the city also surrounded the aristocratic district where the city lord's mansion was located, and the long-legged family was still resisting. But neither side can move anymore, and they have entered a state of negotiation.
Zhou Qingfeng's men and horses are not numerous, and they are entrenched in a street in a civilian area. Although the old men in the city are fighting for life and death, the common people don't care at all. They were even delighted.
The inspection office was paralyzed, and the soldiers in the city came out to make a mess and rob, and they were immediately slaughtered by Zhou Qingfeng. The civilian area, the dock area, and even the artisan area quickly settled down.
The gates were wide open, and there was freedom of entry and exit. The tax collector does not know where to go, so he does not need to collect taxes. People spontaneously form bazaars and take the opportunity to buy or sell some daily necessities, which are cheaper than usual.
As for the life and death of the 'rebellious' and long-legged families, who cares at the bottom of society? When the residents of the city learned of the battle of the city lord's mansion, they couldn't help but cheer happily, wishing that those noble lords would die more.
However, Zhou Qingfeng's power has a very good reputation, whether it is recruiting displaced people or raising workers for relief, many poor people earn a meager income for this to maintain their families.
Todd and others led the team back and were warmly welcomed by the residents. Many people bowed to them and expressed their gratitude - no matter how infighting the nobles were, it was the norm to oppress the bottom. It's really rare to encounter a force that is reasonable and gives back benefits.
At nightfall, the bazaar in the neighborhood is lit with torches. The original curfew could not be enforced, many people were still curious about nighttime activities, and business was extremely active.
Nal and the others also saw the night market for the first time, and ran into Ciri and several strange maids who were shopping for ingredients in the market. The elf girl said that she wanted to make some delicious food for Zhou Qingfeng.
"Victor has been plotting how to stir up the situation in Coldwind City all this time, and I think he is quite tired. Using the 'Naha Reckless Curse' against the Abyss Sacrifice is a kind of life-threatening arcane art that is devastating to the body.
After all, I'm just a poor elf, and he's my master. Although this master is obscene and shameless, if he does not take care of his body, I am also responsible as a maid. ”
Healy didn't know if it touched that nerve, and it was a weak tone. Everyone is also used to it, and they accompany her to visit the night market. Todd suddenly shouted, "Eh......, isn't that Victor?" What is he doing alone in the night market? ”
There are many people in the crowded night market, and Healy is far less tall than Todd, and she can only see Zhou Qingfeng on the other end by stepping on her feet. I saw someone standing outside the door of a shop on the side of the road, poking his head out with great curiosity.
A solicitor at the door was shouting, "Handsome young man, come and play!" ”
Zhou Qingfeng hesitated outside the store for a long time, but finally shook his head shyly.
The solicitor was unwilling, and continued to summon: "There is a barbarian orchid from the Falling Smoke Desert in our store, wearing a veil and dancing the water snake dance, that small waist is beautiful."
We also have jungle witches from the Serre Mountains, beautiful and gentle, good at healing spiritual wounds. Adventurers in the city love to come to her treatment.
There is also the homeless lady of Damara, who has an elegant temperament and extraordinary conversation. It's a pity that Damara is occupied by the king of the dead, and the noble wives and daughters have to flee, and they urgently need the comfort of the warm-hearted. ”
Zhou Qingfeng was greatly moved when he heard this, but he still couldn't wipe off his face.
The solicitor shouted again, "Young man, come to Coldwind City for the first time." I've never seen you before. Is it Lord Hugo's subordinates? ”
Zhou Qingfeng nodded with a smile, "Yes." ”
"Master Hugo is a kind and good man, and his subordinates can get a 20% discount when they play. If Hugo comes in person, we give him free. ”
"Wait...... what are you talking about? Gratis! Zhou Qingfeng instantly became energetic, "I have always been low-key, but today the enthusiasm of the people of Cold Wind City moved me.
It dawned on me that it wasn't a bad thing to see a desert orchid and broaden my horizons. In addition, I have been fighting for many years, and I have been traumatized many times, and I really need a gentle harbor. At the same time, I have always been overflowing with love, and I am very willing to help beautiful girls in distress. ”
The night market is too noisy, and the conversation behind it is not clear to hear.
But Uncle Zhou walked into the store with a serious face. Todd waved and shouted across the crowd, "Victor, Victor, Healy is here." She's going to make you a delicious elf meal. ”
Healy had already broken her face, threw the ingredients she bought into Todd's hand, and scolded viciously: "Despicable, shameless, obscene, filthy man, let him starve to death." ”
