Geranza City is a castle built by the Dutch colonists in the south of Taiwan, very strong, all made of huge stones, tall and precipitous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, here to help defend thousands of Dutch soldiers, led by an iron-blooded governor, occupied here for more than 20 years, colluding with the Spanish forces in the north, enslaving the indigenous people of the treasure island and the Ming Dynasty.

It was a land of evil pleasures, only the Dutch and Spaniards were happy, as well as some of the nearby people who were either rich or noble, and it was the local natives and slaves who suffered.
In a tavern, a young man in ochre clothes sat at the table by the window, gulping wine, and a wine girl poured him wine, the young man drank very boldly, and at the same time his hands were not very honest, while listening to the conversation of others, this young man was Xiao Lang'er, he had only left Butterfly Island for an hour.
"You know what? There's a game tomorrow, a big fight. A big brown bearded man said to the people next to him, "You have to make a lot of money by betting then." ”
"Then Gordon, you have to reveal some news, who has a better chance of winning, so that the brothers can make some money. A younger brother said.
"It depends on everyone's eyesight, after all, it's a top-level game, and both sides are very strong. The brown-bearded man stretched out his shaggy and thick hands, a pair of calloused hands, who seemed to use guns or make a living on ships, and he took a large sip of rum and continued, "But I can tell you that one of them is our most powerful Dutch warrior, who swept through the nations, tall and mighty, and the other is said to be a great warrior, although he is a little older, but still mighty. ”
When Xiao Lang'er heard this, the cup in his hand fell down and smashed on the table, and the wine in it flowed out, hearing this news made him a little distracted, Xiao Lang'er thought that this Ming warrior was very likely to be his master.
It seems that it will be tomorrow, just take a walk around the city, learn about the situation here, see if there are weak places there, this time I came to pretend to be a rich businessman, come here to play, when I entered the city, I was checked by many parties, I spent money to buy a brand before entering the city, and the surrounding is still heavily defended, but if I want to occupy here, it is not a difficult thing, as long as I ambush people in the city, and then come to the inside and outside.
The walls of this castle are three miles long, as high as two zhang, it seems that it took a lot of effort to build here, no wonder the sailors of the Ming Dynasty came to exterminate and were repeatedly frustrated, but for Xiao Lang'er, as long as they put a little effort into it, they can still occupy here.
There are a lot of slaves transporting goods on the street, there are all kinds of people soliciting business, especially gambling halls and tavern brothels, people come and go, there are gamblers, drunkards and perverts everywhere, Xiao Langer saw a lot of entertainment facilities on the road, and the people who came here spent a lot of money to get drunk.
Xiao Lang'er saw a round and huge stone house, which was the top fighting arena, and the people who came here to fight were the world's most powerful warriors and fighters. Some powerful fighters received a large amount of money through competition, and if they did not stop, they could fight the next day, which was a place of miracle and destruction, and at the gate, a notice was pasted with an image of two warriors fighting, and then the battle that would take place tomorrow was described in the Three Kingdoms script.
This kind of competition is not every day, usually only once a week or half a month, and the top masters are scarce talents, and it is impossible to catch a large handful.
This is an earth-shattering battle, but also a big gamble, this top fight also attracted a lot of people to watch the battle, people from different places crowded this not small city of Geranza, the brothel tavern hotel more and more people, those shop owners happily closed their mouths, enthusiastically solicited customers, several hotels were full, Xiao Lang'er wanted to find a place to live first, asked a few shops without rooms, it seems that tonight will be on the street, some tents have been set up in the square, and there are some ships docked there in the port.
There are too many people, there is no way to riot, they are all some people who are not afraid of things to bump together, there are scenes of drunken fights everywhere, the security officer here quickly sends troops to arrest the troublemakers and put them in prison, here is the order, those who fight in the street will be sent to prison, unless you pay a lot of money to ransom yourself.
It was dark, Xiao Lang'er finally found a Tianzi No. 1 room, and spent ten gold coins, there was still a governor who had urgent business and left in a hurry, there was a riot on his island, and he was anxious to go back to deal with it, Xiao Lang'er just wanted a room, and he lived here, which was really a bit expensive.
When Xiao Lang'er went upstairs, a Spaniard walked down from above, Xiao Lang'er felt a little familiar, the man was also very surprised, opened his mouth and couldn't close it, the man recognized Xiao Lang'er, it was Xiao Lang'er who extorted him 200,000 gold coins, and plundered his property only a few gold coins, this time Governor Pierce came from Luzon, he also extorted a lot of money in Luzon, and robbed a lot of money there, ready to gamble in Geranza.
Xiao Lang'er also recognized him, and when the two saw each other, their eyes were very red, but Pierce's hatred for Xiao Lang'er was even greater, and Pierce was followed by two guards with a little pale face, a man and a woman, who looked a little weird. Their green eyes glanced at Xiao Lang'er and were about to make a move, but they were stopped by Pierce, who led them down.
Entering the hotel's Tianzi No. 1 room, Xiao Lang'er lay comfortably in the bathtub, the bathtub was steaming with this heat, thinking back to the scene just now, I always felt a little strange, the two people just now exuded a dangerous aura, it seems that I can't help but beware of Pierce, because no one has given him this dangerous feeling for a long time.
After Xiao Lang'er finished washing, he was ready to meditate and practice for a while, since the last time he cultivated the Golden Body Not Bad Exercise to the intermediate level, he was only slowly improving, and he had not reached the peak, if he had used the pill, he should have reached it a long time ago, but Xiao Lang'er was a person who didn't like to take pills, and he couldn't get used to smelling that smell.
Although there is a lot of noise on the street, the sound insulation effect of this room is good, Xiao Lang'er has been meditating on the bed for two hours, and the golden mangs on his body are even better, and the condensed Dan in the dantian runs very quickly, absorbing the surrounding true qi. At the critical moment of sprinting, someone was priing the door, Xiao Lang'er couldn't move at this time, if he moved, his blood reversed, and there was a risk of going crazy, the door was quickly pried open, and Xiao Lang'er felt a tall figure rushing over and slashing at Xiao Lang'er's head.
Xiao Lang'er couldn't, so he had to pour his true qi into the top of his head, only to hear a bang, the man's knife slashed at a hard object, was blown away, and the person who came screamed in surprise.
Xiao Lang'er took advantage of this kung fu to take back the true qi to the dantian, his eyes opened, and he saw a huge black shadow grabbing it, Xiao Lang'er flew out with a punch and hit the black shadow's chest, the man flew out, Xiao Lang'er hurriedly chased out, the speed of the black shadow was also very fast, and he kicked on the rockery, jumped a few feet away, and landed on the roof of the tavern in front, Xiao Lang'er followed, the light skill of the black shadow was still good, and he just stepped on the city wall and swept over, like a huge bird.
In front of the wall was a jungle, and the man did not fly into the jungle, but stood in front of it.
The full moon was shining, and the dark shadow looked at the sky, looking at the little waves that were getting closer and closer, and there was a cruel smile in his eyes.
