The full name of the Orc Empire is Roserofu, once under the leadership of Asadine, one of the eight holy corpses and the title of Beastmaster, he established the most glorious era, drove the elves away, and dominated the entire Western Earth Continent.

Today's orc dynasty has fallen into despair, and the Sunset Prairie is nominally their territory, but with the current strength, it is impossible to garrison all of them, leaving only some guard towers, which can be regarded as the definition of the border line.

"Collect taxes?"

Downton frowned and glanced up, although he had been on the road for two days, it was still a red pine forest belt, which was considered a buffer zone, which round got a group of orcs to collect tolls?

"Don't talk nonsense, don't pay money, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!"

A group of orcs fanned around the carriage, looking unkind, led by a Bil bear man, with big shoulders and a round waist, quite domineering.

"How much do I have to pay?"

Downton joked that this is the only avenue that can enter the Sunset Prairie where two carriages can be carried in parallel, and there are many merchant groups passing by recently, so setting up a checkpoint here can make a lot of taxes.

"Twenty for a head, no, fifty gold coins!"

The bear man originally wanted to say twenty gold coins, but after being pulled by the porcupine man beside him, he quickly changed his words, and he saw his companion quietly pointing to the luxury carriage, indicating that it was a fat sheep.

"Hmm!"

Downton was noncommittal.

"This checkpoint is so broken, there is not even a tower, you can't be a robber pretending, right?"

Hu Tao floated over on an empty ray, and the sentry post was a horizontal log, and there was a makeshift simple wooden house next to it, in which a bear woman sat and pretended to flip through an animal skin book.

"See, no, the medal of the Imperial Army. We can also issue tax invoices to you!"

The bear man pulled out a bloodstained badge and shook it at Downton as if showing off, they were really not robbers, the empire had suffered a snow disaster, and the army's salaries had to be divided according to aces and miscellaneous cards, as a border guard. Naturally, their treatment is pitiful.

The dilemma of not having rice to cook made this border guard bold and ran to the buffer zone to set up a sentry post, as for the taxes, of course, it is to watch people put down dishes, if you run into a big business group, don't say it, you will run far away early.

Merchants went to the prairie just to seek wealth, but it was only a matter of a few dozen gold coins. I don't bother to care, let alone kill them, in case the news reaches back to those tribes in the prairie, there is no need to think about doing business in the future.

"It doesn't matter!"

Downton went to negotiate with the orc kingdom, and he couldn't kill people in the street, and besides, there was a good wolf sitting in the carriage, and it was easy to slaughter a few miscellaneous fish, but it annoyed her. The gains outweigh the losses.

"Here, three hundred gold coins. I don't need an invoice. ”

Downton's five men plus a coachman didn't even have five hundred gold, and he didn't bother to care about the flawed rhetoric of the orcs, so he regarded it as a charity.

"Tsk, these guys are so poor!"

Hu Tao pinched his nose and circled around the stinking group of orc soldiers. The uniforms on their bodies were all black and tattered, and they were all so cold that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they were shivering.

"Open the checkpoint!"

The bearman took the golden ticket and got out of the way. The porcupine people can be the leader, and half of them are standing still and not moving.

"What does that mean?"

Hu Tao was puzzled.

"What's in the wagon? Go and see a few people, who knows if this damn human has overstated?"

The porcupine man scolded and instructed his subordinates, and Downton's happy payment made him have evil thoughts and prepare to kill and oversell.

"Hey, don't go too far!"

Downton's face sank, and he looked at the bear man, "This Su zhì is also a regular army?"

"What are you doing?"

The bear man had a very bad face and yelled at the porcupine man, but it was only for Downton to see, the regular army often fought grass valley, so he didn't have the slightest psychological pressure to kill a few humans.

"Listen, the people in the carriage, hurry down!"

A few soldiers galloped to the carriage, eager to rummage through the money, and the six horses were coveted.

"Damn it!"

Downton cursed, and the golden dragon lance suddenly appeared, piercing the legs of several soldiers and pinning them to the ground, he couldn't let them disturb Elaine's party.

"You dare to violently resist ~ the law!"

The porcupine roared, drew his scimitar, and slammed a long-standing slash into Downton's head, and a group of his men, who had received his hints, pounced on Walnut to take her hostage.

A few orcs hiding behind also took out the hidden crossbow and pulled the trigger at Downton, this weapon is very expensive and not easy to maintain, so there are only a few border guards.

The bear man is very smart and didn't move, if his comrades can't handle it, it's useless to have one more of him, it's better to be a peacemaker.

Bang!

Before the porcupine could get close to Downton's body, the Lonely Mountain's wrath shield bounced off, as did the crossbow arrows, and Downton grabbed a saber and slashed at him.

Multiply!

The porcupine man's entire body was cut into two pieces, and in the blood flying, Little Walnut went into a rage, and took the hand of the fire demon and hammered it one by one.

All orcs who were hit directly twisted and bent their bodies turned into a puddle of rotten flesh, and fell out like a tattered rag.

"How is this possible?"

The bears were dumbfounded, they weren't surprised that Downton could get this result, but why was that little Lori so terrible? Killing people was like drinking water, without the slightest expression of horror.

"You can see it, I have no choice but to do it!"

Downton turned around and shrugged his shoulders helplessly towards the carriage, apparently speaking to Charlotte.

"Let's go!"

The virtuous wolf sighed, not to blame Downton for such a trivial matter.

"Get out of the way!"

Hu Tao took the fire demon's hand and pointed at the bear man.

"Quick, quick!"

The bearman urged, and the blood on the warhammer was dripping onto the frozen ground, and soon it was covered with ice slag, which also made his heart cold.

Xia Luo was actually going to give these soldiers some money, anyway, she didn't lack it, but the behavior of these soldiers disappointed her.

"This time, it's no wonder that people have no fear. If you don't travel with the guards, I think that young man and little Lori are at least the pinnacle of adjudication!"

"Come on, it's definitely a dragon slay!"

"Hey, three hundred gold coins is a lot, insatiable!"

Orcs whispered. Looking at the dozen or so comrades-in-arms who died, there was no strength to sympathize, even if there were factions in the same corps, and the bear people and the gang obviously had a conscience.

After such a small episode, Downton was in a bad mood, and when it was getting dark and the way was blocked. His mood was even worse.

"What's going on?"

Downton roared, and a convoy stopped, blocking the road.

"Are you blind, don't you see that the carriage in front of you is broken?"

Some people in the convoy responded angrily, and they were also annoyed, because there were rules for how many miles to walk every day, and once they were delayed. Plans aside, the crisis will increase dramatically.

"I'm sorry. Sorry, our carriage broke down!"

After a few minutes, a steward sweating profusely ran over and smiled at Downton, "I'll make way for you!"

The coachmen are gone, this winter. They all huddled by the fire and didn't want to move.

"Let him wait!"

The coachmen sneered, looking at Downton's clothes and carriages, he should be a nobleman, and they did not have a good impression of such people.

Commoners could not afford to mess with the nobility. But they also have civilian-style cunning, which blocks you and makes you have nowhere to vent your frustration.

"Don't you want wages anymore?"

The steward is in a hurry.

"That's right, you settle the payment for us, and we will leave, and the province will suffer!"

The coachmen shouted, not showing any face.

"Those damn bastards!"

The steward cursed, these coachmen must have heard the wind and knew that their merchant group was on the verge of bankruptcy, so they had no fear.

"That's right, Lord Steward, this year's cold wave came so early, and people can freeze to death when they go out to work, won't you give us some more money?"

"It doesn't take too much, just five more gold coins per person a day!"

"Let's make the food better, don't let you drink, at least have one more meat, right?"

The drivers were babbling and complaining.

"Are you taking advantage of the fire to rob?" the steward's face remained unswerving, "Our master is not kind to you, he died, and this is how you repay our eldest lady?"

It has been three days of driving, if the coachman goes back at this time, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, and who dares to guarantee that the next batch of coachmen will not take the opportunity to increase the price?

This time in trade, the eldest lady was already desperate, and used the old house as a mortgage to borrow gold coins to purchase goods......

"No, I can't let the eldest lady become a female ~ slave!"

Thinking of the eldest lady who had been a steward for twenty-five years for this family because she couldn't get a loan, she gritted her teeth and put on a smiling face, "Okay, I agree to your request." ”

"Okay, the steward is really fast-talking, ten gold coins per person, and there is no bullying for children!"

A middle-aged coachman's head gave a thumbs up.

"What? Isn't it five?"

The steward was shocked, he didn't expect these guys to be so undisciplined.

"Did you hear me wrong? I'm talking about ten, right?"

The driver turned his head to ask, and the group of coachmen immediately nodded yes.

"You...... You guys!"

The steward looked at those mocking smiling faces, and a wave of anger accumulated in his chest, which made him squirt a mouthful of blood, and he suddenly remembered that before going out, the carriage had been inspected, and now it was broken, and it was these coachmen who were making trouble.

"Big brother, it seems to be a family fight!"

Little Walnut poked Downton's waist, covered her mouth, and reminded in a low voice.

"What's this called?"

Downton smiled bitterly, he was affected by the pond fish, and with the attitude of these coachmen, he would definitely not move his way.

"These people are so shameless!"

Elaine lifted the curtain and pouted, "Shall we help that steward?"

"How do you help?

Downton shook his head, there is still such a long way to go, who knows if these coachmen will open their mouths again?

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

A young girl walked over with a skirt, her face was full of exhaustion, but she was still holding on, (to be continued......)
