After that, the two days passed peacefully, not only the camp of the Savile caravan was calm, but even the city of Dry Steel was extremely calm, the night shift workers who had often happened before suddenly disappeared, and the monster attacks did not happen again, as if all the disasters had passed.

Although the residents of Dry Steel City have not been able to completely relax and still walk on the streets with trepidation, the overall atmosphere has been much better than in the past two days.

In the past two days, there are two things that have been discussed by the people in the city, one is that an abandoned manor in the suburbs was blocked by the military police and the police, according to rumors, the board of directors knew about the lair of those monsters through a bounty, and then sent a large number of gendarmes to attack the lair of monsters and destroy all the monsters.

Although the people in the city didn't believe this rumor at first, because everyone saw what the gendarmes and police were like during the time when the monsters in the city were the most violent, in their opinion, even if the monsters stood in front of those gendarmes and police, those gendarmes and policemen might not be able to harm those monsters.

But I have to say that there have been no more monster attacks on humans in the city in the past two days, which seems to prove the rumor in disguise, so people's attitude towards this news has become suspicious, and as time goes by, if there is no news of monster attacks on merchants, there will be more and more people who believe in this rumor, and the prestige of the board, gendarmes and police will increase.

As for the second news, it is not good news for Kugang City, and it can even be said to be extremely bad, the two cities closest to Kugang City have already surrendered to the rebel army and the government army respectively, that is to say, now the two military forces of the Maris Kingdom are within half a day's distance from Kugang City, and both sides also sent a letter to the board of directors of Kugang City a day ago, and the main content of the letter is nothing more than asking Kugang City to accept the takeover of the government army or the rebel army.

Interestingly, at this time, both sides, which were obviously hostile forces, stopped each other's military operations and quietly rested in the two newly occupied cities, both waiting for this side to make a final choice.

Whether it is the board of directors of the city at the top or the most ordinary workers at the bottom, the entire Withered Steel City knows that no matter what choice the Withered Steel City makes, there will inevitably be a war waiting for them, because no matter which side he agrees to be taken over, the other side will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely concentrate the greatest forces to completely destroy the Withered Steel City.

Faced with this situation, the workers at the bottom were very enthusiastic, and many of them, worried about the effects of the war, began to stock up on food at home, but the board of directors seemed very calm, and only wrote an affectionate but useless reply, and then did nothing else.

But if someone is careful, they will find that the dry steel city began to secretly recruit young men and women in various factories for military training, and the physical fitness of these young workers is naturally not a problem, as long as they are trained a little, they can easily become a qualified soldier.

In addition, the board of directors of the city began to secretly engage in large-scale transactions with merchants from all over the country in the suburban market, including the trade in food and the trade in furs.

For example, the furs that Leo's Savile caravan was going to sell to Dalyat were all sold to the board of directors of Dry Steel City at a price of thirty percent higher than the normal price.

By all indications, it seems that the board of directors of Dry Steel City does not seem to be ready to defect to either side.

When Leo heard the relevant news, he also felt that the board of directors of Dry Steel City had made the most correct decision.

As long as the city shows strong military strength, so that both sides feel that they cannot capture and occupy the city in a short period of time, then neither the government army nor the rebel army will act rashly against the city of withered steel, and will buy steel from the city by normal means of trade, because none of them will want to see a neutral city with an important position and role pushed to the enemy's side because of their own attack.

Due to the purchase of supplies in the city of withered steel, the Saville caravan not only sold all the furs at a good price, but also advanced the trip by several days, and after selling all the furs and buying enough goods, they decided to leave the city of withered steel, because they also felt that the atmosphere here was becoming more and more tense, and they did not want to be involved in a foreign war.

The caravan steward Gusan also got enough money to buy the remaining wood carvings in Leo's hands because of the higher than expected selling price, although he knew that Sans also bought a wood carving from Leo, but after understanding the role of the wood carving, he didn't care, in his eyes, only the wood carving that gave the owner great strength and increased the combat power of the warrior was worth his heavy money.

After buying the wood carvings, Gusan couldn't wait for his tribe's warriors to test the power of these wood carvings, and the results made him extremely satisfied, each warrior showed extremely strong combat effectiveness after obtaining the power given by the wood carving, and everyone was able to easily defeat all the guards in the caravan.

After seeing how powerful the wood carving was, the people of the other tribes in the caravan were also very excited, but after learning about the price, they couldn't help but sigh that even if Leo still had the wood carving on hand, they couldn't afford it.

However, they also had a hint of schadenfreude towards Gu Sang, because in order to buy these wood carvings, Gu San dissolved all the principal and interests of this business, and should have bought a batch of goods here to transport them back to the tribe, so as to keep the tribe always having enough funds to make a living, but now that he is going back empty-handed, the capital chain will inevitably be broken, which is a very serious problem for any tribe, even if Gu Sang helps the tribe buy back a few magical items, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape accountability.

However, in Gusan's opinion, the money spent on these few wood carvings was well worth it, and instead of being blamed in any way, he would be rewarded in large quantities for it.

After selling the wood carvings, Leo went to the black market to sell a few rune traps that he regarded as defective products, although he thought they were defective products, but for others, these rune traps that could be used without special strength would undoubtedly be a weapon to save their lives.

Therefore, when Fat Robert put these rune traps up for sale, the bounty hunters did not hesitate to offer a much higher price than expected.

I have to say that these bounty hunters are very sensitive, they should all feel that the world is starting to change, their work is also much more dangerous, and the more life-saving means they have, the more chances of survival.

On the day the caravan restarted, Leo and Robert the Fat boarded a steam train to Yasha County.

Because of the frequent accidents of steam locomotives, the government army and the rebel army have stopped most of the steam locomotives that are in danger of accidents, and their method of screening is to look at the manufacturing events of steam locomotives, because they find that the earlier the steam locomotives, the fewer accidents will occur, but those steam locomotives that are newly forged and use the latest technology will get out of control nine times out of ten.

The steam train that Leo is riding in now is such an old locomotive that was pulled out of the train museum not long ago, this locomotive is not only much smaller, it can only pull eleven carriages, the cylinders are also very poor, there is no equipment to filter smoke and dust, and the air spray is all black, just standing on the platform for a while, a layer of dust falls on the body.

"Damn! I almost thought I was back decades. After entering the carriage, the fat man Robert took off his hat, slapped the dust on his body vigorously, cursed repeatedly, and at the same time looked at Leo with great envy.

Just now, he saw that the dust automatically bypassed Leo when he approached Leo, as if there was a wall around Leo, and he was extremely envious of this ability.

After placing the salute on the luggage rack of the carriage, Leo couldn't help frowning as he watched the fat man Robert shake the dust everywhere, and then directly used his psionic energy to solve the dust.

Fat Robert only saw the dust on his body, on the ground, and in the air around him, as if attracted by an invisible force, quickly gathered in the air, formed a ball of dust in the blink of an eye, and flew out of the self-opening window.

"Uh, thank you. The fat man Robert naturally knew who did this, and hurriedly thanked Leo.

Leo nodded, did not speak, took a book from the salute, put down the bed in the carriage, turned on the bedside lamp, sat on the bed, and looked through it.

Seeing Leo's movements, Fat Robert felt that the next few days of the trip might be very boring, and he regretted inviting Leo to accompany him.

The train that Leo was riding on was not a freight train, but a purely passenger train, and although the board of directors of Withered Steel City tried their best to stabilize the mood of the people in the city, many people's worries about the war were still not alleviated, so those who had relatives and friends in other cities planned to leave Withered Steel City and take refuge elsewhere for a while.

Because there are not many old locomotives that can be used, so the number of trains is also much less, so that now the tickets for this train are very difficult to get, if it is not for the black market operation of Fat Robert, Leo unless he uses some extraordinary means, otherwise as a foreigner, I am afraid it will be difficult to get a ticket, let alone a ticket for a first-class carriage with an independent carriage.

With a whistle sounded, most of the passengers had already boarded the train, and the staff of the platform began to drive away the people who were still standing on the platform, so as to prevent someone from seeing the road due to the mist and falling onto the cabinet, while the maintenance personnel of the station began to check the trains, each pulling a T-hammer, beating the wheels and bearings, judging the quality of these important parts by the sound.

Inside the car, the attendant began to check each compartment one by one, and after making sure that there was no problem, he stood out of the door and waved a small flag.

Then, with a long roar, the train slowly moved forward, and soon moved faster and faster, until it finally reached an almost uniform speed, and along the track, it headed forward.

The old locomotive was not very fast, and it took more than three hours to reach the next city, which was now occupied by the rebels, which caused some trouble when the train stopped.

Because the rebel army needed to rotate a group of soldiers, and the soldiers who were rotated were supposed to leave the rebel army's own troop transport train, but the train had an accident and had been returned to the factory for repairs, which made these soldiers have to stay.

Now the arrival of this train was undoubtedly valued by the officers of the rebel army, and the train was directly requisitioned, and some passengers in the ordinary seats felt in the double-decker open-air carriages in front, and the soldiers were placed in the ordinary carriages, and the officers were placed in the upper carriages.

However, their attitude towards the upper class carriage was not so rigid, after all, they did not know what identity was behind these people who made the superior carriage, and if they offended a person who could not be provoked, then they would be unlucky, so they did not drive away the passengers of the upper carriage, but only arranged one or two people in each carriage, and also took the initiative to pay the fare of these people.

Leo and Robert the Fat Man had an officer in their carriage, an officer of the rebel army who looked and temperamentally like a Maresian.

With the opening of the Great Voyage, the exchanges between the east and west continents began to increase, and the people-to-people exchanges between the two continents also increased, the gold rush of the Maris Kingdom more than a hundred years ago, the great plague of the Vilonda continent more than two hundred years ago, and some wars from time to time, made a large number of people from the Vilons continent move to the Minsk continent.

Among the three kingdoms of the Minsk continent, Dalyat is affected by the cold snap in the north all the year round because it lives in the north, and cold is the only theme of this kingdom, which makes the people of the continent of Vilon, who are accustomed to warm climates, very unsuitable for the climate there.

As for the Savile Kingdom, no one wants to live in that desert kingdom, not only because of the environment, but also because of customs.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Mares has become the preferred immigration country for these Vilons.

The Kingdom of Mares is naturally receptive to these immigrants, because the lords of the Kingdom of Mares often have conflicts and wars, and for other reasons, the population of the Kingdom of Mares has not been very large.

Although it is one of the three major kingdoms of Minsk, its population is about the same as that of the Seven Kingdoms of Hannosa in the north of the continent of Veron, so when a large number of immigrants pour in, the kingdom of Maris is completely receptive.

It's just that with the increase in the foreign population, the number of people in Mares began to decrease rapidly, and now there are almost no pure Mares in the Mares Kingdom, and most of them are mixed-race.

It was clear that the rebel officer who appeared in front of Leo and Robert the Fat Man was definitely a Mares, as he had a vertical pupil that was purely Mares.

And when the fat Robert pays attention to the appearance of the other party, Leo pays more attention to the other party's interior, such as energy fluctuations, according to the strength of the energy fluctuations on the other party's body, the other party is obviously an extraordinary person, a transcendent person who has reached the level of a fourth-level psionic person.
