Chapter 150: There are bandits
The next day, because the capital protector Yatuli had to prepare the goods, Sun Licheng stayed for another day.
Through his interactions with Aturi, he discovered that the war with the Goblin Kingdom on the Snowy Ridge Plateau had affected the kingdom itself.
Aturi didn't know why the kingdom's eastern legions were heading north, but the outcome of the war was beyond everyone's expectations, and the eastern legions, which had been fighting against the orc kingdom for thousands of years, were almost completely wiped out, and no one came back alive except for a group of Ebeltsoft eagles and cyclops. For such a result, the kingdom suddenly lost its voice.
Not to mention the change in attitude towards the North, because of the fall of the Eastern Legion, the kingdom began to be in turmoil.
First, the royal family began to aggressively tighten power. As the largest family in the kingdom, the Palm family has always been a constraint on the royal family, so that the goblin royal family has to deal with it carefully. Now that the patriarch of the Palm Tree and the foundation of their position, the Eastern Legion, have all been wiped out, the king immediately sees an opportunity. It is said that the Goblin Royal Legion is vigorously expanding its strength, and the intention is already obvious, which is to prepare to attack the disobedient places.
"Alas, pity me, a little protector, and I will also be affected. The town guard ordered us to pay an extra 10% of the tax. Although the output here is okay, I don't know how many people will go hungry if they pay an extra 10% tax. ”
Aturi poured bitter water on Sun Licheng.
Sun Licheng is very helpless, every power struggle in history will break out into fierce conflicts, and the Goblin Kingdom will be no exception.
However, this is about Sun Licheng's.
Although the Metropolitan Protector complained about the increase in taxes, he quickly prepared the goods for the transaction. It can be seen that no matter where they are, even in the magic world, officials are still very clear about the division of public and private property, as long as they can fatten themselves.
On the third day, the caravan was finally on its way. Since Sun Licheng's yaks were directly doubled, with a wave of his hand, twenty goblin serfs were given to Sun Licheng.
It is said that these serfs originally went to the north to defend the border, but now even the most elite eastern army is finished, and the officials from all over the country have no interest in sending people to the north, but these people can't be released directly, because they have been thrown to work in the capital protection mansion, and now they are just giving them away.
"That's okay, right?"
Sun Licheng asked Chebman in a whisper.
Chebman smiled, "Of course it's fine. In fact, an important reason for the so-called Northland Frontier is that the Goblin Kingdom can't afford to raise so many people, so it sends them to consume each other with the barbarians. It is said that less than 10 percent of people make it home alive every year. These people follow you, at least you can eat well, you know, in such a remote place, food has always been a big problem. ”
After listening to the rabbit-headed man's words, and then looking at the goblin serf who was a little hungry, Sun Licheng didn't speak for a long time, and finally could only sigh helplessly.
"Sun Licheng, out of my jurisdiction, you can hand over my handwritten letter to the next metropolitan protector, they won't be embarrassed for you. In addition, it is said that there is a group of powerful bandits near Stone Bridge Fort, so you must be careful. ”
In order to thank Yatuli for his hospitality, Sun Licheng gave him a jar of amber light, which made the Metropolitan Protector very happy, and not only wrote a letter himself, but also told Sun Licheng some precautions on the way.
In this way, bidding farewell to Aturi, the caravan continued southward.
With Yatuli's letter, the governors of the following counties treated Sun Licheng very politely, and the price at the time of the transaction was very good.
By the time they arrived at Shiqiao Fort, the caravan of the Chiyan tribe had turned into a super-large caravan of more than 800 yaks and nearly 100 people.
"Sun Licheng, the valley in front of you is said to have bandits. ”
Caroline raised her whip and pointed to the mountain in front of her.
"Hmm. Should be. ”
Looking at the steep mountain, Sun Licheng couldn't help frowning a little, and his tone of answer became serious.
"Great. I was finally able to fight properly. ”
Caroline laughed, her voice as bold as when she was an ogre.
Sun Licheng was a little speechless. Although this girl has become more beautiful, the violent gene has become more significant, and she has been looking for people to compete with along the way.
Seeing such a beautiful girl, many people really agreed. No matter what kind of dirty thoughts he had, the result was the same, he was beaten by a female tyrannosaurus and his face was swollen. There were even two unlucky people who annoyed Caroline because of their frivolous words, and they were directly beaten to the point that they couldn't take care of themselves for the rest of their lives.
Later, the news that Caroline could fight spread, and no one dared to continue to pinch the tiger's whiskers, which made Caroline very depressed. Today, I heard that the valley that has been haunting bandits has arrived, how can I not be happy.
Although Caroline was happy, Sun Licheng couldn't be careless, the caravan was too big, there was no way to get around, there was no way, he could only hope that the bandits would have a holiday today.
Sun Licheng's hopes were still disappointed, and when the caravan all entered the valley, there was a loud bang, and a large amount of rubble completely cut off the caravan's retreat.
"All on alert!"
Sun Licheng shouted, immediately jumped off the yak, and ran to the front of the team.
Although the yak is tall, it is not fast, and once engaged, it can go down to the ground to exert its combat power.
It can be regarded as Sun Licheng, who has been in battle for a long time, has already made a plan, the ogres have already rushed to the front at this time, where the enemy is most likely to appear, as for the two sides of the mountain, the cliff is too steep, even if there are bandits, they will only shoot arrows downward.
Sure enough, after waiting for a short time, the sound of countless big feet stepping on the ground rumbled, and after a while, hundreds of bandits appeared.
When all the thieves appeared, Sun Licheng couldn't help but take a breath.
The leader of these bandits is a tall minotaur, almost the same height as Barrett, ** upper body, muscles like marble, full of explosive power.
Behind him, in addition to goblins and orcs, there were more than a dozen ogres, and what shocked Sun Licheng the most was that there was a cyclops in this team!
"What should I do?"
Chebman asked Sun Licheng with a trembling voice.
"What can I do? Beat them up!"
Before Sun Licheng could speak, Caroline behind him snorted coldly, then pulled out a huge nailed mace and rushed out.
"Holy, this loser's. ”
Sun Li's face changed greatly when he was established, and he scolded loudly.
He knew that he couldn't stop Caroline now, so he unleashed the power of heroes and began to cast team magic on everyone.
"It's funny that there is a hero. ”
The bandit leader immediately laughed when he saw that the caravan was constantly flashing with brilliance.
"Da Zhuang, you go and catch that female elf, remember, don't hurt it, I want her to be my wife. ”
The minotaur turned and shouted at the cyclops. Immediately after, he also unleashed the power of heroism.
"Damn, that minotaur is also a hero! Is a hero so worthless now? How can even a bandit have the power of a hero!"
Seeing the bloodthirsty spells and other spells flashing above the bandits' heads, Sun Licheng couldn't help but scold.
