Chapter 546: Inventory Checking (I)
After discussing with a few businessmen who were familiar with him, the merchant Saiyi was ready to use his connections to search for some urgently needed goods for the General's Mansion, and gamble that Luo Ming could hold Meiquan, which is not listed for the time being.
On the other side, Greene and his soldiers continued to inspect the warehouse area.
At this time, he especially admired the initiative of the lord who designed the city—no, it should be called the shogun now—to divide three areas into the warehouse area.
This is not only as simple as looking neat, the warehouse area is all the property of the general, and it is a good income to collect rent in normal times, and at this moment it reflects the superiority of centralization and easy management.
Private warehouses may have bad things that can be entered by wind and rain, but the warehouses directly under the name of the general's mansion have no such trouble, and it is also very convenient to check.
In the blink of an eye, many materials were sealed and forcibly purchased.
Although Luo Ming was sitting in the City Lord's Mansion at the moment, his gaze was accompanied by the fragments of the Secret Law Eye, covering almost every corner of the city.
In doing so, some people did have resentment, but they were very weak and disorganized, and it was impossible to vent them because of the suppression of the soldiers.
And those goods that were forcibly purchased did add some of the accumulated strength to the mountain city.
In addition to this, there was also a sudden burst of sword light and sword shadows.
Ordinary businessmen can only choose not to suffer immediate losses against the General's Mansion, but when Ge Lin received the order, he heard that there might be enemy spies sneaking in and waiting for an opportunity to make trouble, so he was a little more vigilant and did not be caught off guard at the critical moment.
The spies did not incite the dissatisfaction of the merchants with the General's Palace, after all, the merchants had limited force at hand, and they could not make trouble with the spear array, let alone the load-bearing wheels of the gun carriage. If you make such a fuss, you might even put yourself in it, so the spy is not so stupid.
Instead, they disguised themselves as caravans and swaggered into the city of Kalo from the north of the mountain.
Of course, the checkpoints into the mountain and the city of Carlo itself are very strictly managed, and the relatively dangerous weapons carried by the caravan members, such as crossbows, are all detained, and can only be picked up with tickets when leaving.
Magic items, potions, and various weapons and armor carried as commodities have also been registered.
However, as in the surveillance system of any era, the enemy can often find the slightest loophole if he has no intention of calculating it.
Of course, these vulnerabilities are not too big, and the people in charge of monitoring are not blind, so the spies don't end up accumulating too much equipment.
- But for a team of spies, it's quite luxurious......
When Greene inspected a warehouse, he noticed that the people guarding the door outside the warehouse were evasive and suspicious.
He was also an elite who had killed the enemy in battle and listened to Luo Ming's lectures, so he felt that something was wrong at the time, so he quietly asked him to call the person who opened the door, and at the same time, he also pulled out the knife, found fault in his mouth, and pretended to be a ruffian who "looks like a suspicious person who wants to extort a sum of money".
The other party said good things for a while, and stuffed money for a while, so that he nodded contentedly.
Just as the gatekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, Greene raised his long knife and slapped it on the top of his head.
Of course, it wasn't slapped with a knife blade, but even that made the gatekeeper fall to the ground with a muffled grunt.
Regardless of whether the other party is engaged in smuggling or really has something to look down on, in the current state of emergency, it is still not a taboo for him to beat a janitor, and if he catches any case, it can still become a merit - much better than simply accepting bribes.
You must know that Luo Ming treats the soldiers well, and at the same time, the management is also very strict, and the rights and responsibilities are clear.
Next, he shouted, "Crane wing formation block the door", and the soldiers quickly began to line up.
The militiamen did not understand this order, but the regular soldiers understood it and immediately began to set an example - this formation was not complicated.
The spearmen formed two horizontal formations on either side, guarding the door in crane wings, while the sword and shield men and halberd men maneuvered to the side, while the few archers stood in the gap in the queue and waited for the opportunity to release their arrows.
This kind of archer is actually not able to go to the frontal battlefield, they have not been trained for long, and with a soft bow in their hands, they can only shoot the target within twenty paces, and the penetration is also very average.
However, they were originally in charge of fighting in the city, and there were usually no super bandits in armor in the city. As for encountering a sword master or something, it is also a very unlikely event, and someone else will be responsible for dealing with it.
With a single slash of the door and lock, Greene rushed into the warehouse with four sword and shield men, followed by three archers.
Unexpectedly, there was no light in the warehouse, and the small windows that could be ventilated and lit but could not be penetrated were also blocked.
With a swing of his sword, he blocked an enemy attack, pulled the trigger in his left hand, and the preloaded pistol sprayed lead bullets at close range, knocking over the enemy in front of him instantly.
But the sound of arrows being bounced off was heard from the side, and then a familiar voice was heard screaming.
Greene knew that something was wrong, so he directly stuffed the pistol that was still a little hot into his pocket, regardless of whether it would be burned, and while waving the long knife in his hand as a cover, he withdrew backwards with his subordinates, and another subordinate fell in the process.
As soon as he and his subordinates exited the gate, three strong men with big shoulders and round waists in scale armor rushed out after them, and many people could be faintly seen shouting and rushing out behind them.
However, this group of fierce gangsters collided with many spears head-on.
At first, the spearhead hit them, but it could not be pierced easily, and there was a metallic crash - after all, most of them were militiamen, and their strength and strength were still a little worse.
At first, eight people rushed out, but only two fell in front of the spear array, and the first one roared proudly, waved the axe in his hand, and cut off two spear shafts.
But in the next instant, the spearmen worked together under the slogan of the officer, even if they could not necessarily break the armor, but the impact of many spear shafts still beat them unsteadily, and some people's armor was not broken, but they were beaten to the ground, not to mention pushing away the spears and advancing, they could only be beaten by many spears in place.
The archers took the opportunity to shoot a flurry of arrows, some of which were bounced off by the scales, but one of the arrows went straight into the face of an armored warrior, causing him to fall to the ground with a cry of pain, and some were shot in the back of the hand, dropping their weapons to the ground.
