Chapter 198: The Crisis of the Red Flame Tribe
"Chebman, what's going on? But I heard my father-in-law, Barrett, say that it's okay now. ”
Sun Licheng pulled the rabbit-headed man aside and asked in a low voice.
Chebman smiled bitterly, and then explained to Sun Licheng.
The Protector of the region is also an ogre, and the leader of the largest tribe in the area.
When he came to the Chiyan tribe this time, he was very interested in everything in the tribe, but when he negotiated with Barrett to pay taxes, he was very polite, and everything was businesslike.
Eventually, at Barrett's insistence, he accepted some of the gifts and left.
According to the experience of the rabbit-headed people, in the Goblin Kingdom, there are very few such incorruptible officials. Every time a tax is collected, these people will work on it to get as much benefit as possible. Therefore, this is extremely abnormal.
"Did you tell Barrett about it, then?"
Hearing this, Sun Licheng also felt that something was wrong, and he asked Chebman.
"Of course. But the Barit chief said that he and the Metropolitan Protector had been good friends for many years, and that the two tribes had always taken care of each other, and that it was normal for the Metropolitan Protector to do so. ”
The rabbit-headed man said helplessly.
Sun Licheng listened to it and felt that it made sense. But he knew that since Chebman had said that the situation was critical, he would not be untargeted, and there must be evidence.
"Then what new discoveries have you made to confirm that the Protector is preparing to attack the Chiyan Tribe?"
Sun Licheng asked.
"A few days ago, more than 20 ogres broke into the stockade and caused a lot of damage here. I think the Barrett chief must have told you. ”
The rabbit-headed man said.
Sun Licheng nodded.
"So many ogres broke in at once, and the goal was clear, it was to run to the blacksmith shop. The point is, they actually have military-made weapons in their hands. In my opinion, this is definitely not something that some desperate ronin did spontaneously, someone must have instructed it, and that person can only be an official here. The rabbit-headed man said, thinking of the scene at that time, his face couldn't help but show a look of trepidation.
Then he added: "Since that attack, the tax collection team of the Metropolitan Protector has obviously been much more restrained, and there is even some connivance with those robbers. I think that guy definitely has a big conspiracy. Unfortunately, the Barrett leader didn't trust my judgment at all, but fortunately, with Clark and Henry, they were able to strengthen the Horde's defenses. ”
Hearing this, Sun Licheng's expression also became solemn.
On the earth, he is an old fritter who has been mixed with organs for many years, and he has seen thousands of strange things, and when Chebman said this, Sun Licheng also figured it out.
The so-called money moves people's hearts, and he has done so many things for the Chiyan tribe, which must have caused the greed of some people. This time the heavy tax was collected, and there was no reason for the Metropolitan Protector to let such a fat sheep slip out of his hands.
He took such good care of the Chiyan tribe, the only possibility was that he had bigger plans. Thinking of the rapid expansion of the strength of the Chiyan tribe recently, Sun Licheng dared to guarantee that that guy would definitely try his best to bring down the Chiyan tribe, and then grab all the resources of the Chiyan tribe in his hands.
"But I'm going to go on a mission to the Moon Alliance, what can I do?"
Sun Licheng couldn't help but get anxious in his heart.
"Sun Licheng, don't be too anxious, Clark and I have already built the defense of the stockade in this section, and even if the Protector wants to attack the Chiyan tribe, he must make some preparations. I'm afraid that if they attack it, it will involve the Goblin Kingdom, and even the God of Hunting and Orcs. So, you need to go to the Moon Alliance immediately, find the Three Goddesses of Time, and enlist their support. We alone can't stop the entire Goblin Kingdom. ”
Seeing that Sun Licheng was in a hurry, Chebman suggested.
"Understood, I'll set off as soon as possible, go early and return early, and try to bring reinforcements back. ”
After listening to the rabbit-headed man's words, Sun Licheng nodded heavily and said.
Because of the immediate emergency, Sun Licheng only let Clark and Da Zhuang join the team this time, and the other bandits all stayed behind to strengthen the tribe's defense.
In order to improve their combat effectiveness, Sun Licheng kept all the armor and weapons he brought back from the Amun world.
Looking at these delicate weapons and armor, Barrett's eyes straightened.
This is not a bronze weapon, but a real carbon steel weapon, or Sun Licheng made it according to the appearance of the games he has played, and the power is amazing.
It's a pity that he didn't expect that the Metropolitan Protector here would attack the Chiyan Tribe, so he only made fifty sets of equipment for the heavy infantry. But that's it, and it has also greatly improved the strength of the Chiyan tribe.
Of course, in order to prevent the Metropolitan Protector from being aware of it, Sun Licheng suggested that this batch of equipment should be hidden first, and if there was really danger, it would be taken out and used.
On the morning of the third day, Sun Licheng stood at the gate of the tribe and said goodbye to everyone.
"Chebman, this is a communication scroll I made, and it is very precious. If something happens, light it with a fire and you can contact me. Remember, save your life first, if the thing is gone, we can rebuild, if the house is gone, we can build again, and if the life is gone, there will be nothing. ”
Sun Licheng pulled the rabbit-headed man aside, stuffed him with a golden scroll, and then said earnestly.
Chebman knew from the appearance that this thing was not ordinary, and after listening to Sun Licheng's words, he couldn't help nodding.
Everyone greeted each other for a while, and Sun Licheng and his party set off.
Half a month later, in front of the Full Moon Canyon, Sun Licheng pointed to the abandoned fortress in front of him and said, "That is the border between the Moon Alliance and the Goblin Kingdom, the famous Full Moon Fortress. ”
"But I see it's abandoned, and there's no one guarding it. ”
Caroline asked curiously.
Listening to Caroline's words, looking at the empty city wall and the open gate, and thinking of the previous war, Sun Licheng couldn't help but sigh.
It's this small canyon mouth, and I don't know how many goblins and goblin warriors have been buried for thousands of years, and it is estimated that they will be rich by filling the entire canyon with their bones. And now, with the fall of the goddess of the silver moon, everything is gone, leaving only this stone fortress, telling the vicissitudes of the past.
After a burst of emotion, Sun Licheng said to everyone: "Nearly a year ago, there were several major battles here, and the main force of the Moon Alliance and the eastern legion of the Goblin Kingdom were all wiped out in the Godforsaken Land. Now that the faith of the Moon Alliance has collapsed, it is a good time for us to preach. Let's work together to complete the task as soon as possible, meet the three sisters as soon as possible, and get their help. ”
After speaking, he urged the sitting yak to lead everyone towards the city gate.
On the other side of the city gate is the familiar world.
"Little cabbage, Vina, Mr. Skillful, I'm back!"
At the moment of crossing the city gate, Sun Licheng couldn't help but shout in his heart.
