"Why would the horse bandits be interested in a town like our Yez Town?" said Sir Dude, the previous mayor of Yez Town.

At this time, the sheriff of Yezi stood up and said:

"I know why the horse bandits are targeting our town, for a simple reason!"

"Although we are not as rich as other cities, this is only a city on the main road from the royal capital to the end of the city, and we can be called rich compared to other cities, and every day some caravans will supply, rest and even trade from our town. ”

"But in such a large town with a permanent population of more than 2,000 people, plus a floating population of nearly 3,000 people, our security team only has 10 people!"

"Yezi Town, which is relatively rich but has no protection ability, if I were a horse bandit, I would choose fat meat over hard bones!"

"Who vetoed the town's vigilante team when they repeatedly asked for more strength and manpower?

"Do you think that with only 10 members of the security team, plus a wall less than 10 feet high without a moat, you can stop the horse bandits with at least 2 squadrons, or even 3 or 4 squadrons outside?"

This remark embarrassed the local nobles, they were the main opponents of the expansion of the security corps and the construction of the moat, and they actually opposed more than that, as for whether anyone regrets it now, I don't know, but at least no one speaks again.

"How can there be so many horse bandits? I have been running between the royal capital and the Scanning Province for so many years, and I have never heard of such a large team of horse bandits here, if there are really hundreds of horse bandits, they can't beat any city except the royal capital? Even if there is only one brigade of security teams in the end city, the wealth is hundreds of times that of Yezi Town, why would such a powerful horse bandit keep an eye on Yezi Town?" But the local little nobles stopped talking, and the merchants passing through Yezi Town began to question.

This time it was a rare female businesswoman who spoke out, the 40-year-old grade is already too big for women, but the businesswoman in front of her is very good at dressing and makeup, making her not look so old, but has a mature beauty, Barron didn't expect to be able to see a different version of a strong woman here, and couldn't help but look a few more times, and immediately found out to the other party, and then glared fiercely. Frightened, Barron quickly withdrew his gaze.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Cellly, in addition to a 500-person security brigade in Curtain City, there are at least a dozen mercenary groups attached to the Curtain City, ranging in number from dozens to hundreds, even if you remove the mercenaries who are on a mission, at least you can still provide 1,000 troops to Curtain City. ”

"What's more, the permanent population of Curtain City is nearly 50,000, plus the floating population is more than 80,000, so you can casually pull out tens of thousands of young people, and Curtain City is only half a sunset away from Silver Snow Castle, if it is an emergency, it can be shortened to 6 hourglass hours, not to mention the horse bandits of hundreds of people in this case, even the beast legions of the Ice Wind Kingdom don't want to capture Curtain City. ”

"As for the other cities, they are far more powerful than our town in terms of personnel and defense, and the cities that are richer than us are often close to the main traffic arteries of the Scanxing Province, and the local garrisons of the kingdom are ready to support them, while our side is too remote. Laddy said unhurriedly.

"Damn, what are we going to do now? Shall we wait to die? The caravan is the work of my husband and I for more than ten years!" Mrs. Celli looked unwilling.

"Of course we can't wait for death, not only can't we wait for death, but we also have to actively organize all the active people to defend until the end of the city or the reinforcements of Silver Snow Castle appear, and all this requires the help of everyone present. At this time, the mayor of the town, Laddy, announced solemnly.

"What do you need us to do, Mayor Radi, you say, we will definitely support you, as long as we can keep my caravan, it is my husband's life's work!" Mrs. Celli heard that there was still a chance to be rescued, and immediately supported Mayor Radi.

Barron saw that the relationship between the two didn't seem to be so simple, it felt like two people were singing a double reed, but looking at the expressions of other people, it didn't seem to be obvious, and Barron didn't want to do much.

However, regardless of whether the two sang double reeds or not, the rest of the businessmen also spoke out one after another after seeing that someone supported Laddie, expressing their support for Laddie's choice, and this time even the local nobles who had been dragging Laddy back finally stood on the same side as Laddie.

Then Laddy saw that everyone's atmosphere had been mobilized, and then pressed down with his palms slightly. Everyone in the government hall fell silent.

"What we have to do is very simple, that is, someone to contribute, strong and powerful, money to contribute, although Yezi Town is not big, but there are also many caravans and mercenaries, plus the guards and servants of the nobles in the town, and the town to recruit some young people, at least a team of 500 people can be formed, and then rely on the city wall to resist the horse bandits outside. ”

"Of course, the premise is that all of us present must huddle together, and absolutely no one will be allowed to hold back!" Lardy knew that this was the time for a critical moment.

At this time, the government affairs hall became quiet again, after all, verbal support would not let them lose a copper coin, but now it is different, this is the rhythm of their hemorrhage, as long as their own interests are involved, everyone began to hesitate.

At this time, Pande lowered his body and approached Barron, and then whispered in Barron's ear: "Wait for me to pull you, you come with me, follow me and don't speak." ”

Barron didn't know what Pande meant, but he nodded to Pande, who had already straightened up, indicating that he knew.

"I know there may be people who are worried about whether their efforts will be useful, but let me introduce you to two people who will dispel all your worries. Radi then beckoned to Pander and Barron to come to the stage.

Although Barron didn't know what this Laddy was doing, Pande pulled him in private, and Barron immediately followed Pande to Laddie's side.

"Everyone shouldn't be blind to this one. Lardy said, pointing at Pande.

"Could it be the [Blood Mercenary]-sama?" Pande sat in the government hall because he was deliberately low-key, so no one paid attention to him, but when he was on the stage, most people recognized him.
