Chapter 57: The Slums

As a traditional agricultural power, the Kingdom of Nader can be regarded as one of the great powers on the continent of Bogdanor, whether it is the Seven Nations Alliance in the north, the Southwest Alliance in the southwest, or the free city-states in the southeast.

Not only is the military strength outstanding, but also the powerful lords and top powerhouses are also emerging in an endless stream, and the domestic resources are abundant.

In recent decades, the truce with the Icewind Kingdom to the north and the reopening of trade have allowed this traditionally agricultural power to continue to develop in the commercial field.

But even so, not everyone in the Nader Kingdom can be fed and clothed, limited by the low social productivity, and the relationship between class status, so that even the Nader Kingdom cannot eliminate the existence of the poor, and even the king has the existence of slums, not to mention a small Yezi town.

Dirt and mess are just the standard of the slums, and the rat organizations of theft, robbery, fraud, meat sales, and all kinds of underground activities are the hallmarks of the slums.

The slums of Yezi Town are one of the representatives, because the security team of Yezi Town itself is only 10 people, so in fact, the security team is only responsible for the defense of the city gate and the government office, and the rest of the patrol and security work is mostly undertaken by the private soldiers of some small nobles in the town.

As for the slums? I'm sorry, it's a place outside the law, not to mention the aristocratic private soldiers, not even the security forces themselves will go.

Although there are no large-scale organizations like the Red Phosphorus Brotherhood in Ending City, there are more than a dozen small and medium-sized dark realm organizations, and these organizations range from three or five people to twenty or thirty people.

It seems that there are not many members of these organizations, but if you count the peripheral members, it can be said that the entire people in the slums are more or less related to these organizations.

Originally, no matter how weak the security team in Yezi Town was, it also represented the majesty of the kingdom, and even if the hooligans and bandits in Yezi Town looked down on the security team, they had to abide by the rules at least on the surface.

Of course, the vigilantes and these organizations of the dark realm have their own tacit understanding, and they do not interfere with each other in their respective jurisdictions.

But now that the town of Yez has been breached by legendary wizards, the vigilantes have been destroyed, and the nobles and the caravans that stayed in Yez are unable to protect themselves, which makes the rats of the slums smell gold.

They did not need to organize, nor did they need to mobilize, hooligans, scoundrels, criminals, thieves, outlaws, all kinds of slum rats, like flies that smell carrion, spontaneously organized, whether they were core members or peripheral members, they all rushed out of the slums, towards the nobles and caravanserais.

They killed the guards and nobles, plundered everything they could see, and went up to those who were weaker than them, and scattered if they saw something stronger than them.

This was the case with the three waves of thugs Barron had encountered in a row when he was at the Heather and Celli chamber offices. But after the three waves of thugs were killed by Barron alone, no thug dared to storm the premises of the two chambers of commerce.

However, there was only one Barron in the whole town of Yez, and although the thugs suffered in Barron, they gained a lot elsewhere.

Large quantities of gold coins, goods, antique works of art, and even some high-end furniture from aristocratic residences, as well as young women, were constantly transported into the slums from other places, and more things that could not be carried were burned by them.

Mass thugs have moved in and out of the slums, adding to the clutter of an already overcrowded slum.

In the eyes of these thugs, there is no safety in their nest anywhere, and when the limelight of Yezi Town passes, each of them will be able to make a fortune.

Infighting, fighting each other for the spoils of war.

The black eats the black, waiting for the other thugs who have returned from robbery at the entrance to the slum.

The more anxious guy can't wait to go back to the nest, so he directly pulls the young woman he snatched and vents directly on the streets of the slums.

When Barron broke into the slums, he saw such a scene of demons dancing wildly.

It's a pity that these people have the mentality of the devil, but they don't have the strength of the devil, and when Barron separates the head of a thug who is struggling on a woman, a group of thugs who seem to be with him want to avenge him.

But by the time the mob didn't last 10 seconds in Barron's hands, no thug dared to appear in front of Barron.

Although Barron's biggest target now is the mysterious wizard behind him, he doesn't mind killing a few thugs to add some experience to himself.

............

Tista was originally the leader of a small rat group in Yez Town, and his territory originally contained a block and a half of the slums, and although he was not a big man, at least here in the slums, he was one of the typical land snakes.

As long as he is on the territory of the slums, even Drakov, the captain of the security team in Yez Town, will give him three points.

Originally, he thought that this life might be like this, and if he was lucky, he might be able to spend his old age in peace. Unexpectedly, Yezi Town was suddenly breached by a group of horse bandits somehow.

As soon as he heard the news, Tista discovered a business opportunity, and he was one of the first rat organizations to take his brothers out to make a fortune.

As for the rumor that it was actually a mysterious wizard who broke through the walls, Tista completely scoffed, how could a wizard who hadn't appeared for hundreds of years appear in Yez Town?

Therefore, as the first batch of thugs, Tista, at this time, was excited to send the looted property back to his lair, as a forerunner, although Tista has only robbed 2 small nobles so far, but these two small nobles are the richest people in Yez Town, gold coins, jewelry, etc., so that Tista is completely lost in it.

is the so-called gold belt of murder and arson, in only half a day, Tista harvested several times the gold coins obtained in the previous 20 years, and the harvest of no capital and ten thousand profits made him extremely excited.

And what he is doing now is to return the harvest safely to his lair, so as not to be discovered by other rats of the dark world and kill him.

But just as he was not far from his lair, a figure wearing a silk robe and a hood slowly appeared from the corner of the street on a war horse.

Tista's gaze was drawn to the other party. Not to mention the pure white war horse that this nobleman rode was worth at least dozens of gold coins, just a civilization stick inlaid with a giant gem under this person's hand made Tista completely unable to take his eyes off.
