Aug. 27, 137 years of the ephemeris

Suddenly a lot of marine life, fish and shrimp, crabs, and even sharks suddenly appear on the coastline of the tide.

It was as if the creatures were being driven, and despite facing the shallows near the sand, they continued to follow one after the other.

Faced with this situation, it is easy to catch a lot of prey that can only be caught during ordinary sailing, or even can't be caught.

But the inhabitants of the city did not act rashly, and they even became uneasy because of it.

Because, this means that the huge group of fish-people has swarmed from the deep sea!

At the same time, Reef City on the Gold Coast is facing the same situation, with countless residents cramped and uneasy, and countless soldiers waiting for it.

In the southern capital of Semur, in that endless wilderness, all kinds of wild beasts were driven around by the unknown horrors.

The capital of the empire, the city of mountains, Baicheng, countless mountains and rivers trembled and roared, as if the monsters in them were about to awaken!

The Stellar Radiance, which has existed since the founding of the Empire of the Stars, the Stellar Radiance that other countries jokingly call the main festival of the Stars, the Stellar Radiance that has made countless heroes famous and shined brightly, has shown signs of coming!

There are countless cities destroyed every year because of the starry light, and although the existing cities have resisted countless monster attacks, no one can guarantee that the city under their feet will withstand the next attack, neither can Bay City, Reef City, Semur, or even the Imperial Capital.

The bigger the city, the more dangerous the attack, and the fishmen of Bay City are just the lowest.

At this time, inside Bay City

The movement on the coastline made the residents of the city talk a lot, although it did not cause panic, but it could not calm down at all, some of them were solemn and kept making some preparations, so that they could support the militia group or protect themselves when the fish-man officially arrived, and some simply hid in the secret kiln of their homes, where enough living materials were already placed.

It's hard to say which of the two choices of the citizens is right and which is wrong, Bay City has recorded five times in the history of the city being invaded by fishmen and destroying the city, and five times when these cautious and timid residents continue to rebuild their homes in the ruins.

There are also people who choose the third option, taking advantage of the turmoil in the city to continue to cause trouble, for which the sheriff Barry has long been prepared.

Groups of soldiers dressed in full armor patrolled the main roads in the city, beware of people taking advantage of this opportunity to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and the crime of robbery while the fire was added to the first degree.

The militia, which had been preparing for the fish-man invasion, had been preparing for the invasion of the fishmen, patrolling the four walls, and countless traps had been placed outside the walls.

The port area had been completely emptied by this time, and all its inhabitants had been moved to the commercial area protected by the city walls.

The business district was bustling with activity, with countless mercenaries and even pirates staying in the taverns and chatting loudly. They are all looking forward to the disaster that has come to them, and they want to make a fortune.

"If it weren't for the idea of killing a few fishmen to make some extra money, Lao Tzu wouldn't have come to Bay City during this time. ”

A scruffily dressed pirate shouted loudly, unaware of the stimulus.

Another pirate at the same table continued: "This extra money is not easy to earn, and you need the complete corpse of the fishman, otherwise the commission will be halved, hell, who cares if the corpse is complete or incomplete after killing, and the corpse needs to be collected after killing, alas!"

Allen's initial bounty was just to attract mercenaries, but the effect was somewhat unexpected, not only the mercenaries were attracted, but even the "heroes" on the sea were also moved by the wind and came to this "supply point" in their eyes.

"Hey, let's talk about it, those damn mercenaries are dumbfounded. The pirates at the adjacent table laughed when they heard their conversation: "There are a lot of us, although it is troublesome to collect the corpses, it will not be too troublesome, what about the group of mercenaries, hum, what about the high strength, see what they do in the face of this situation!"

"Yes, that group of mercenaries is at most more than ten to form a mercenary group, and the least is one person at all;

The surrounding pirates laughed, and for a while countless cynics rang out, ignoring the presence of mercenaries in the tavern.

A group of mercenaries in the corner listened with exasperation.

"Hmph, if it weren't for that damn lord to stop me, I could have torn their mouths apart one by one!"

Another comforted: "Don't be angry with Rodney, we're here to make money, not to fight." ”

The other snorted, "But we've fought with them a lot, and we haven't made a dime so far." ”

The comforter smiled bitterly, "It was an accident. ”

The big man known as Rodney looked at the unscrupulous pirates and said angrily: "I can be regarded as an accident if I punch him!"

With that, he took a sip of the ale in his hand, and then ignored the stops of his companions, and angrily rushed at the pirates: "You bitch pirates, have you laughed enough?

There was chaos in the tavern for a moment, and in the face of the impulses of their companions, the mercenaries could not stay out of the world, and the pirates, as "victims", would not give up.

The conflict grew from a small scale at the beginning, to being constantly discovered by others, and it was barely stopped until the patrol arrived.

Although it was deliberately provoked at first, the long conflict has already made the mercenaries and pirates really angry.

——

The commercial district of Bay City was in turmoil due to the withdrawal of mercenaries and pirates, and the residential area was silent, and the pedestrians were basically in a hurry, even if they saw the rare goblins, they only glanced at them for a moment.

"How did the stars come to be?" said Goblin Bauer, who was with him, as he asked Keith.

Bauer had gone to Poch Castle to talk to Lord Alan about the details of the goblin settlement, and then had the idea of visiting Bay City on a whim.

So our former treasurer, who was dismissed, volunteered to be a guide.

Although he got half of his fortune back from Alan because he completed the mission, the blonde fat man did not plan to spend the rest of his life guarding the money, and he had bigger ideals.

Being an official is not a success, although the lord Alan is relatively polite to him, but he also reveals estrangement, Keith has tried to test in front of him, but he has not received a response at all, which makes him die of this.

Then he had to choose another path - follow the goblins.

The business thinking of the goblins is very active, not to mention the aristocratic goblins among the goblins, and following them will definitely make money, and they can make a lot of money.

So Keith's attitude towards the goblins is now more friendly than before, and in the face of the goblin's question, he replied seriously: "It is said that the imperial family has countless treasures coveted by demonic beasts, and it is said that it is because the empire has been cursed by the evil gods, and no one knows what it is, I am afraid that only the mysterious polyrudito in the Bachelor's Tower knows about it." ”

Bauer didn't expect a response, because it was a question that made all the forces in the world extremely curious.

Of course, they don't have the best intentions to help solve this problem, and if they maybe, they want to make this annual disaster more frequent.

The Star Empire is mysterious and powerful, and foreign people are full of "good feelings" for the stars that greatly affect the development of the Empire.

Otherwise, with the strength and domineering of the knights of the Star Empire, the surrounding large and small countries would have no way to survive for a long time.

Walking on the dirt road in the residential area of Bay City, Bauer's leather boots were stained with countless mud, and he couldn't help but say, "This road is too difficult to walk, no wonder your lord told me to build a road." ”

"Build roads?"

Keith was stunned, and then hurriedly asked, "Is it now?"

Bauer shook his head and said, "How is it possible now, we have to wait until the stars are finished before we can go back." ”

Then, he jokingly said, "I don't think we need to think about what business to do at the moment, that venerable lord is very generous and ambitious, and building roads and cities will be enough for us to make a fortune." ”

"Cousin Alan is indeed very self-motivated. ”

Keith laughed, scolding in his heart.

"Damn Allen, it's just a matter of hiring mercenaries with my money, and even using it to repair roads, what's there to repair this broken road!"

"Damn it, my poor gold!"

Once again, Keith felt sorry for his half of his fortune.
