The summer breeze blows through the green redwood forest, bringing a touch of coolness and adding a refreshing smell to the hot summer days.

Another summer arrived, and the civilians of Sequoia County were busy, roaming the farms and harvesting the sun-dried oats.

The caravans on the trade roads come and go, and they are about to reach the peak of the year, and Morning Mist Town, which is the last stop to enter the Sunset Prairie, has recently poured in many caravans and mercenaries, not only the Golden Ivory Tavern is stuffed to the brim, but even some of the townspeople's houses have been rented out to earn some rent to supplement their families.

There are many people, fish and dragons are mixed, and it is inevitable that there will be quarrels and physical conflicts, which are inevitable in previous years, and even bloody conflicts have occurred, but this year so far has been safe, not to mention quarrels and scolding, even the mercenaries who speak loudly are rarely seen.

There is no way, looking at the team of ogre guards who have been patrolling with helmets and armor, even if the mercenaries want to make trouble, they have to measure their own strength.

I don't know how much of his combat strength he has? It doesn't matter, there is a comparison, there are wooden stakes erected outside the town on the square of the town, and there are many thieves and bandits who have been roaming the western territory for many years, and there are many strong people in the ruling rank.

"I've heard that these hill natives are all subordinates of the new mayor, and he has an undead legion!"

"Your news is long outdated, they now have a Krupp Giant Guard, and there is an additional First Element Demon Servant, do you know where the Dao came from?" a bearded mercenary pointed to the empty wine glass, "I'll tell you when I pay for it." ”

"Come on, the news has already spread, Downton played Dupont and the Wolf King, killed Torres, the winner of the Saint-Gertland Imperial Magical Youth Competition, with his own hands, and got Sharomanda. ”

"That immortal firebird is powerful. The Denver Nuggets and the Atlanta Eagles mercenaries provoked Downton, only to be burned to ashes by their servants. ”

"Isn't this nonsense? Is the First Element powerful? It is said that it is also the god of fire in the Lava Realm. ”

The mercenaries said all kinds of messages about Downton, and from time to time whispered a few words that they really had shit luck, why didn't they have such good luck?

......

"Is the news confirmed?" Downton stood on a gentle hillside, looking through his monoculars at the nearby village.

"Jackson has gone to investigate. Thyssen stood beside Downton and looked around. In the back, it was the Fire Cloud War Horse, gnawing on the grass on the ground.

"Where's Hu Tao, why haven't you replied?" Downton couldn't help frowning as he looked at the vast sky flowing with white clouds.

Little Lori volunteered to ride a snow falcon to scout the enemy, but she was late.

Hu Tao is innocent and cute, and has no scheming, and soon becomes acquainted with the super beast Snow Falcon, which has become a soul mount, and when Downton wants to clear the bandits in the West, she takes over the scout's errand.

"I must not know where to go to play!"

Thyssen knows the character of Hu Tao. When you see something interesting, you get your attention.

"Forget it, let's rely on Jackson!"

Downton took out the beer can and took a sip of the wine, then tossed it to Rosicky, "It's just a temporary rest, there's no need to meditate, right?"

"I want to break through as soon as possible and enter the dragon slaying step!" Rosicky wore full-body armor, covering his cheeks. As long as he is not an experienced magician, he is generally not recognized as an undead.

"Don't be hasty and be impatient. Be careful, and if you want to hurry, you won't be able to do it. ”

Downton lay on the grass with his head in his hands, holding a stalk of grass in his mouth, enjoying the summer breeze.

The reason why Downton's information was widely circulated in the Westside was that Hannah reciprocated the favor and deliberately found someone to spread it, based on her family affairs. It's easy to do this.

The conquest of the Western Frontier is not as simple as a sentence, it requires too much preparation, and the first thing is to make a name for yourself and increase the support of the people.

Downton Bandits. It is also to accumulate fame and let the commoners know that the mayor of the town is for them to fight bloodily, and when the time comes, there will be a war with Placido, at least to ensure that they will not fall into the sea of rebellion and retribution of the people.

Of course, this time is not wasted, Abagon is constantly accumulating supplies, once the war starts, prices will definitely rise, and Downton has no connections, after being banned by the state, he may not be able to buy even a grain of rice, so he must prepare early.

"Homer is very powerful, and if it is carried out, you have a fifty percent chance of becoming the Duke of the West. "Rosicky admires the Great Magic Book very much, and if it weren't for his identity, he would have wanted to worship it as a mentor.

"It's only fifty percent?" Downton didn't expect Rosie Kibi to be pessimistic about himself.

"Yes, the time, the place, the people, there are too many uncertain factors in the war, don't think that with the Firebird and Di Maria, the world is invincible, Placido has been through hundreds of years, how can he not have a few cards to decide the winner? Besides, he still has allies, at least the chief priest Falfo is on his side, once the war starts, he will definitely send troops to support. ”

Compared with Downton, a commoner, Rosicky, as a prince, has received an elite education since he was a child, and all of them are famous teachers, if it weren't for the accident, he would already be the king of the Sheman Empire.

"Don't be discouraged, it's a matter of vision, and you can see it as you keep fighting and changing your status. ”

Homer comforted Downton, people's starting line is high, this is determined by origin, if you want not to lose, you can only run hard the day after tomorrow to catch up.

Bang!

To the northeast, a magic flare dragged red smoke into the sky, then exploded into a firework before being blown over by the wind.

"Master, Jackson signaled. ”

Quasimodo stood respectfully and reported, out of all the members of the group, it was the only one who never felt tired, so he had been serving as a guard.

"Zhilu said, everyone got on the horse. ”

There was no need for Downton to whistle, and as soon as he stood up, the scorching nightmare of Joy in the distance ran over, because the four hooves stepped on the fire, and the places he stepped on left scorched black marks.

"Let's go!"

Downton turned on his horse, and with a command, the horse's hooves stomped, and the whole team rushed down the hill like a storm.

"Commander, it's a signal flare, could it have something to do with us?"

A bandit group is heading to Lishui Town, preparing to plunder. I suddenly saw a signal flare rising nearby, and I was a little worried.

"It should be a noble son who is out and about to play is in trouble, and he releases a flare for help, leave it alone, and move on. ”

The regimental commander glanced at the sky and didn't care. When the summer harvest arrives, it is simply a carnival feast for the bandits in the west.

There were so many of them that if they were too late to plunder, they would not have been able to catch even a single copper plate.

"But Commander, I heard that a new mayor has recently come to Morningfog Town, and he is a powerful mess, and he has already killed a lot of people. ”

The younger brother was worried.

"It's good to kill, and it saves us from grabbing supplies. The captain smiled. Waving his hand and pointing with a horsewhip, "Look at the bandit group of more than 300 people, including more than 20 magicians, and most of them are war ranks, if that mayor dares to come, I promise to blow up all his eggs." ”

"That's right, bragging and not paying taxes. I guess it's a strategy to scare us. "The robbers are relieved.

"Besides, even if it's true, you can't catch us. He didn't have to be a dragon incarnate. The head of the regiment smiled cruelly, "Speed up, I can't wait, this time I must rob a few girls and enjoy it." ”

Sequoia County's defense capacity was already weak, and the security teams in various towns could not defeat the bandit groups at all, and they all held out until the border guards arrived. However, most of the border guards with moths in the west will not work hard to defend their homes and countries, and even if there are a few who dare to fight, they will not be able to stop the bandit groups that are raging like locusts.

During the summer harvest, there were too many bandit groups, and the army was also weak. I can only be a firefighting team, and I help a little bit.

Looking at Lishui Town again, the regiment commander had already seen the civilians working in the farmland, and before he could give the order to attack, a rapid bell had already sounded from the tower outside the town.

"Run, the robbers are coming!"

After many years of losses, the town is not without defensive means, in addition to arranging people on duty to monitor, there are also militiamen, although Zhilu Dao is a mantis arm as a car, but also have to fight for property and life.

Hearing the warning, the civilians left their farm work and rushed towards the village, the black wolf smoke had been lit and curled into the air, everyone was praying for the border guards to arrive quickly.

"Stubborn resistance!"

The regimental commander spat thick phlegm and snapped his fingers.

More than 300 bandits let out all kinds of strange screams and whistles to keep the townspeople under psychological pressure, and those who were good at riding and archery had raised their longbows and aimed at the civilians running in the fields.

Whoa!

Several unlucky ghosts were shot and fell to the ground.

When the bandits rushed past them, they threw ropes, lassoed their bodies, and dragged them to the ground and ran to the town.

Screams and cries for help immediately rang out.

The militia were busy, setting up cedar barricades at the entrance of the town as fast as they could, preventing the cavalry from storming the town, while the security team held shields and spears in front of them.

The bandits converged in front of the town, and in the confusion of horses' hooves, they did not rush to attack, but dragged over a dozen civilians who had been dragged half dead.

"Don't kill us!"

The captives begged, but it was useless.

"Kneel, all kneel!"

The bandits made the captives kneel in a row and stood beside them with scimitars.

"I'll give you ten minutes to surrender and hand over a million gold coins, or I'll slaughter the whole town and get it myself. ”

The regimental commander rode his war horse to the front and looked down at the group of ants.

"How can we have so much money?" the mayor could not finish when he was interrupted by a cry of surprise.

A bandit slashed off a civilian's head, sending a column of blood into the sky, and the corpse twitched and made people's eyes spasm.

"Tsk, I don't want to hear any rebuttals, otherwise this is the end, remember, you only have ten minutes to collect gold, and then I will slaughter the town. ”

The regiment commander is used to doing this kind of thing, and there is no psychological pressure at all to kill hundreds of people, "In order to give you some warning, I will use the corpses of these people to show my determination!" (To be continued......)
