Chapter 11: Exterminate the Snake of the Earth
"Uncle, don't the city lord care if these people are so domineering?"
"Alas, the city lord has so many things to do in a day, how can he care about us little people. ”
"I look at the market area, it's not small, so each stall collects once every two or three days, that's not a small amount!"
"What can we do, we can only grit our teeth and get by. ”
Yi Tian can see that a ruffian hooligan like a bald head doesn't suffer a little, and when he leaves, he will definitely double down on the exploitation of these poor stall owners, and it seems that this time he has to do a big job again.
After saying goodbye to the old man, Yi Tian was no longer in the mood to wander around here, and according to the old man's guidance, he came to the depths of the city-state, which seemed to be the gathering place of the head snakes.
In front of me is not so much a few tree houses as a huge fortress composed of several towering trees, in the embrace of five or six big trees, one after another tree houses spread up on the forks of the big trees, and at the top of the branches and leaves of the big trees, a faint light is faintly flickering.
This is the most magnificent and largest tree building Yi Tian has ever seen, not only there are a large number of tree houses on the ancient trees, but also many buildings similar to small city defenses on the ground, the high wall standing in the middle of the avenue makes Yi Tian a little surprised, all this in front of him is already a bit of a city in the city, the arrogance of this group of land snakes is already so arrogant, why should the city lord connive at it? There must be a reason for this, Yi Tian decided not to be tough this time, he has to find someone who is familiar with the situation to ask.
The night is late, and the green city-state is greedily enjoying its tranquility under the moonlight.
"Can I ask you something?" Yi Tian found Feng's figure in the central square of the city-state, and after taking off his uniform, Feng was less heroic, but more caressing.
"You say?"
"What do you know about the city-state of Greenwood. ”
"Why are you interested in this!"
"Walking around the city this afternoon, I did get some interest in it. ”
"The Greenwood City-State is one of the older city-states in the Varea League, and together with several neighboring city-states, it forms a small country called Scalles, but on weekdays they still call themselves the Greenwood City-States, and only participate in meetings under the name of Scalles when the Confederate Council is held. ”
"Is there any news about the internal schools of the city-state or the politics? ”
"How do you really think of a spy!" Feng said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"Actually, that's ............" Yi Tian had to tell Feng what he saw and heard during the day.
"I see, I didn't expect you to have a hobby of fighting grievances. ”
"I didn't want to care about it, but when I saw the city within a city, I knew it wasn't that simple. ”
"To be precise, the gang you see during the day is not some kind of ruffian, but a regular city-state guard. ”
Feng's words surprised Yi Tian, how could this be a regular city-state guard? In the daytime in the trading market, Yi Tian saw with his own eyes how those ruffians were arrogant and domineering, exploiting the people, if this kind of person could become a guard, then the people of this green forest city-state were not living in dire straits.
"I've seen the coercion of those people, and it's not right at all
The appearance of the army. ”
"Actually, I've heard of what these people are doing, and it is said that the reason why they dare to do this is entirely because they have the support of a big chamber of commerce behind them, and I am not convenient to meddle in them because they are all allies. ”
"Could it be that the city lord of this city-state is still afraid that some big chamber of commerce will not succeed, and if this continues, these people will make trouble sooner or later. ”
"To tell you the truth, the lord of the Greenwood City-State has asked our Harris family for help many times, but my father has always thought about it, for fear of being caught by others. ”
In fact, Yi Tian didn't want to get involved in this quagmire at all, but he never forgot the old man's pleading eyes and his lonely expression.
"I'll deal with this, I'm not afraid of that big chamber of commerce. ”
"Don't try to stand alone, I've investigated the location of these guards, and the guards are very tight. ”
"Of course I don't break in, I have my own plan. ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※
The sky was getting dark, the moon was bright, and a figure flickered by on the dark street, and the Treehouse Fortress Guard was completely unaware of the approaching danger, and was still chatting happily with the people beside him.
Yi Tian had already roughly figured out the structure of the fortress during the day, although it was not difficult for him to climb over the high wall at the front, but it was more troublesome to completely avoid the guards on the high wall, so he decided to take a detour from the side, from the side where the defense was relatively weak, he estimated that the guards should be looser in the second half of the night, and no one should find out.
Under the cover of night, Yi Tian came to the side of the city defense, and sure enough, there was no one at the head of the city from below, only the lonely torches swaying in the night wind. Yi Tian sneaked to the high wall, and only a few clicks came to the top of the high wall, and from here, everything inside the high wall was in front of him. He looked at everything in front of him with some surprise, this division is obviously the structure of a barracks, especially the school field in the middle is too familiar to Yi Tian, but the flag fluttering in the center of the school field is a little unpredictable, this two-headed falcon is obviously not the symbol of the green forest city-state!
At this time, Yi Tian couldn't care so much, and his destination tonight was the strange building at the top of the ancient tree, where it was said that the behind-the-scenes commander of the guard army was located. It's not easy to get there, this treehouse fortress is no deeper than the above-ground buildings that can be detoured from the side or anywhere, this treehouse built on the top of the big tree Yitian can only climb up step by step, this process not only has to pass through a dozen sentry posts and military houses, but also has to withstand sudden attacks anytime and anywhere, which is not an easy task for him.
Yi Tian jumped to the bottom of the city, and took advantage of the change of guards to come under the ancient tree, and the middle of the huge ancient tree was hollowed out by the guards, made into a man-wide step, and went up the tree. Yi Tian watched carefully, and when he was sure that there were no patrolmen, he got into one of the sentry posts, and then from the fork on the opposite side came the voices of several soldiers, and Yi Tian took a closer look to distinguish that there was an artificial tree house under the cover of the huge branches and leaves, which was almost the same as the real thing.
Since they were discovered by Yi Tian, then they must have no chance of survival, a few black arrows fired in a volley, and the lights in the tree house dimmed instantly, Yi Tian flashed into the tree house, and in the next second, Yi Tian was dressed in a green forest city-state
The uniforms of the guards swaggered out.
Before he could go far, a group of men and horses came down from the heights, and their uniforms seemed to be much more complicated than the ones on his own.
"Which branch are you?"
"I, I'm a sentry below, and I have something important to report. ”
"Hurry up then, the Commander is about to go to sleep. ”
After a period of perfunctory, Yi Tian passed several sentry posts without danger, and not far in front of him was the hut with faint lights, just as Yi Tian was about to go forward to listen to the reality, several arrows suddenly shot out next to him, if it weren't for Yi Tian's agility, it is estimated that he would have to shed a layer of skin this time.
"Where is the soldier who doesn't have long eyes, who dares to trespass into the forbidden area. A gloomy voice came from all around, and Yi Tian searched for a long time but didn't find where the source of the sound was.
"I have something important to see the Commander. ”
"The old man in charge of him has already slept, and he will come back tomorrow morning for something. ”
"The matter is very urgent, and I hope to report it. "Yi Tian has worked so hard to get here, he doesn't want to return tonight in vain.
"Daring slave, do you want to rebel?" The gloomy voice came from far and near, full of killing intent, as if it was about to appear in front of Yi Tian's eyes in the next second.
A smile appeared at the corner of Yi Tian's mouth, after angering this mysterious voice, he had roughly identified the direction he was currently in, and suddenly Yi Tian got up, several blood-red energy flew out of his right hand, only to hear a slight scream, and a black shadow appeared on a certain fork of the big tree, but at this time, the blood-red arrow nailed him firmly to the ancient tree.
"Ask you three questions, if you are satisfied, I will spare your life, and if you are not satisfied, I will throw you down from here. Yi Tian asked as he grabbed the man's wound with one hand.
"You... You're looking for death, we... The Commander is not ..............."
I was not satisfied with this answer. Saying that, Yi Tian's right hand pressed the guard's right arm, and then with a slight force, a small handful of blood-red power pierced his right arm, "Don't scream!" Yi Tian used the power of darkness to temporarily seal the guard's mouth, but the boss who opened his mouth at this time couldn't make any sound.
"I'll give you another chance, who is living in that cabin?"
After the dark force was lifted, the guard said in a tone that bordered on pleading, "It's us...... The big boss ..............."
"Isn't it your commander?"
"Ruler him, he's long dead... These days...... It's all the people of the Chamber of Commerce who are ............"
"Could it be that the flag in the school yard belongs to this chamber of commerce?"
"Yes, yes. ”
"Which chamber of commerce is secretly manipulating you? ”
"Yes, Capua............"
"Is it the famous Capua Chamber of Commerce on that continent?" Yi Tian couldn't believe his ears, you must know that the Capua Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chamber of commerce groups on this continent, it controls most of the commercial activities of the Eastern Continent, how did such a large place as the Green Forest City-State attract their attention?
"That's right, that's it, it's ............" the guard still can't forget the look of fear on his face when the commander died, "spare me, spare me, I'm ...... I don't want to die..............."
