Chapter 690: Gambling War
As for the next action, Nazi, Tatsuno, and Meow Meow discussed it all night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The next morning, they found Miss Junsha and were about to tell her about leaving Woodstone Town to find the Squid King, but Miss Junsha preemptively told them the bad news.
"Mr. Tatsuno, the news that Mushi Town suddenly got a batch of supplies has somehow leaked, and it is likely that there will be people who will come to fight for supplies next, please be prepared."
Miss Junsha was unusually serious when she spoke, and through her expression, Tatsuno knew that the so-called snatching would definitely not be so simple.
"Miss Junsha, do you have any countermeasures?" Tatsuno asked rhetorically.
"I've organized all the trainers in the city and are ready to meet the enemy's challenges, and some of the inhabitants are already waiting at the gates with weapons. Now I just hope that there will not be many forces that get the news, otherwise the food we have just received will probably be handed away. ”
After guarding Mushi Town for so long, Miss Junsha had already encountered similar situations several times, so she naturally had a way to deal with it. In fact, Miss Junsha herself knows that as the Carlos region is locked down for longer and longer, such fights will become more and more frequent.
Now there is still a lot of food in reserve in Mushi Town, and if the opponent is too strong, they can also send away some of the food they have just gotten in order to avoid casualties. But after a while, the battle over food will definitely become extremely cruel, because to snatch food is to rob someone else's life.
"By the way, there's good news, Mitheus has woken up."
"Woke up so soon?" Tatsuno clearly remembered Mitheus's pale face as a piece of paper at that time, but he didn't expect to wake up in just one night, it seems that this kid's physical fitness is very good.
"Miss Junsha, go to the city gate, someone is coming to grab food." A man ran over panting and said.
"I see." Miss Junsha raised her leg and ran outside, and Tatsuno and Natsu immediately followed.
When I came to the city gate and looked down, a hundred people lined up in a ten-by-ten phalanx stood far away, and a black-haired woman stood in front of the phalanx, although she looked gentle but had a kind of heroic spirit.
The scene in front of him was far from the war that Tatsuno had imagined, and Tatsuno once again asked the people around him, "Are you sure they are here to snatch the food?" ”
"You can't be wrong, Mr. Tatsuno." Miss Junsha's jade hand pointed downward, "That woman is Deborah, the guardian of the nearby Stone Forest Town, I didn't expect her to be the first to come here." ”
"Guardians?" Tatsuno was stunned.
Seeing Tatsuno's expression, Miss Junsha immediately explained, "Since the collapse of order in the Carlos region, the laws of the alliance have been completely unable to bind the regions. Some powerful trainers stepped forward to become the guardians of a region. They will do their best to ensure that there is no chaos in their area and organize local trainers to prepare for war, but each of them is only responsible for the people in the area they occupy. ”
Hearing Miss Junsha's words, Tatsuno finally understood what this guardian was. Deborah may be a hero to the inhabitants of Stone Grove, but to the rest of the world, she is a destroyer.
"Is that old guy Promi still alive, let him come out to see me, I'm going to have a gambling war with him, and the bet is the latest batch of supplies you get!" Deborah, outside the city, began to shout.
"Sure enough, it's a gambling war." Miss Junsha's face darkened. Prome is Mitheus's father and the strongest trainer in Woodstone Town, but unfortunately he is now seriously injured and has no way to play, and there is no trainer in the city who is Deborah's opponent.
"What's this gambling war all about?" Tatsuno has become a curious baby again.
"The gambling battle is actually the previous elf battle, which is generally a one-on-one match, and some people will make special requests. Before the match, both sides make bets, and the winning side takes what they win. ”
Is there such a civilized rule in troubled times? At first, Tatsuno didn't understand it very much, but when he saw the hundred people behind Deborah each release a big rock snake, he immediately understood the reason for the emergence of the "gambling war" model.
The destructive power of elves is obviously not comparable to ordinary firearms, when both sides have a large number of elves at the same time, once the war starts, it will definitely cause immeasurable losses to both sides of the war, which is a very unwise approach in troubled times.
While each force takes others as prey, they will also become prey in the eyes of others, and all the sandpiper and mussels are competing for profit, and most people's thoughts are just hoping to live longer in the troubled times, rather than fighting regardless of some.
Take the group of large rock snakes behind Deborah, for example, if these large rock snakes are both earthquakes and rock closures, they are powerful enough to destroy a small town in an instant. If everyone unscrupulously directs the elves to attack, then without waiting to starve to death, the humans themselves will turn Carlos into ruins.
Of course, this kind of thing is not absolute, and some outlaws don't think about it so much, and they don't care about other people at all.
"What's the matter, are the people in Mushi Town all soft eggs, and they don't even dare to accept the gambling war? Or are you going to do everything in your power to fight us in an all-out battle? Deborah, who was outside the city, shouted again, "I know of a piece of news that is vital to the survival of Woodstone Town. ”
Miss Junsha was very hesitant at the city gate, she was a kind person herself, and there was really no way to make such a difficult decision.
"I believe in your character, Miss Deborah, and we accept this gamble." Awakened Mitheus, who did not know when he came to the city gate, shouted out of the city in a weak voice.
"Mitheus, you're hurt, you shouldn't come out."
"It's okay, my dad has fallen, of course I, as a son, have to take over his burden." Mitheus said firmly. Then he looked at Long Ye and them on the side: "Sister Junsha has already told me everything, I'm sorry to involve you in this dispute." But the inhabitants of Carlos are innocent, and I hope that Mr. Tatsuno you can help them end this disaster as soon as possible.
If the two of you have a grudge against me, when this gambling war is over, I am willing to obey Mr. Tatsuno's dispatch to kill or kill. ”
Tatsuno glanced at Mitheus with strange eyes, he wasn't sure if the person in front of him was deep or really careless, but one thing he was sure of was that this Mitheus was definitely reading too many chivalrous novels, otherwise it would be impossible to use this kind of middle two full of words.
