Chapter 122: The Conqueror

Bagio and Anna left Stone Town in Lore and continued southward, where Bagio agreed with Bieber Gascoigne and the others that if the Free Frontier was really in danger, Baggio would inform Gascoigne and the others that they would help, some of them for glory, some for freedom, and some for wealth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Bagio has a delicate long sword hanging from his waist, this is a long sword made of stainless steel, the workmanship is very meticulous, this long sword is a gift from the arms merchant Lore Palermo to Bagio, it is a symbol of friendship, Palermo said that it is time to start launching a caravan to the Free Frontier, if the Free Frontier is really in crisis, then they must need a large supply of weapons.

Baggio and Anna spent a few more days on the journey, they passed through some free city-states, the deeper they went into the hinterland, the more they could appreciate the war-torn environment of the free city-states, in this area, Bagio and Anna were careful not to get involved, and with it, they also needed to put aside the good side and let themselves be cold, after all, because war is cruel, and all kinds of outrageous things under war are not uncommon.

Bagio has changed a lot now, in the face of many things that exterminate humanity, Bagio can't hide the anger in his heart, if this is replaced by him who used to be in the Midtown Federation, it will never happen, the former power supremacy, in the heart of Bagio now, may have shrunk too much.

Anna had been holding back Baggio's anger, because she knew that if there was a conflict with people here, they would never be able to cross the war zone properly, and Bagio sometimes felt that Anna was calmer than herself, or that Anna was more ruthless, and that she could completely ignore the cruelty of the people around her, which Bagio felt he couldn't do.

After passing through the war-torn region, Bagio and Anna came to a relatively stable area, which was ruled by Will Berg, the lord of the Foggy Castle, who was now the lord of the largest sphere of influence in the entire free city-states of the south-central region.

Although the Will family rules the area less disturbed by the war, but Bagio and Anna still feel very uncomfortable when they step into this area, the Will family pays attention to high-pressure, powerful rule, the residents here are always in fear, they are careful to steal life, as long as there is a little mistake, the strict law of the Will family is only the death penalty as a punishment.

However, Will Berg was surprisingly unequal in the formulation of the law, and in this land, whether it was a nobleman, a merchant, a soldier, or a peasant, as long as he committed a crime, he would not show any mercy.

Bagio and Anna found an inn nearby, the lobby of the inn was sparsely populated, and everyone was drinking in a low-key manner, but they obviously felt that people here did not dare to drink easily, after all, it was easy to lose words after drinking, and it was easier to violate the harsh laws of the Will family.

"Let's not leave the room lightly over here. Upon entering the room, Anna carefully reminded Bagio, who nodded yes, and he also felt that it would be better to hang out less here.

Baggio and Anna sat on their stools and rested, chatting about their recent experiences, whether it was meeting Kull Reddick and Elise, or meeting Bieber Gascoigne and other people in Rock Town, which was good for Baggio.

"The illusion of the Free Frontier, we have heard such rumors in the Midtown Federation, and Paul Ribeiro, who accompanied us through the Midtown Federation, seems to be very interested in it. Anna sat in a chair by the window, looked out the window, and said.

There are almost no pedestrians on the road outside the window, and living in such an environment must be uncomfortable for the residents here, and the harshness here is even much higher than that of the Midtown Federation, and even Bagio, who grew up in the Midtown Federation since he was a child, feels very uncomfortable about this.

According to Ribeiro, Taligo had a good relationship with his brother Paul Redondo, and Redondo was said to have planned to travel to the Free Frontier to help him protect the Free Frontier and the continent of Yarrow. Bagio said softly, most people have only read about illusions in the literature, and the vast majority of people in the Arrow Continent have never seen illusions.

"Do you think it's really as serious as it seems?" asked Anna again.

"As far as Tully is concerned, he is definitely not a man of nonsense, and since Taligo and Fonta Eduardo are talking about it, then it must not be a trivial matter, building the Great Wall...... Hehe, this is also the decision that Taligo dares to think about. Baggio felt an inexplicable affection at the thought of Tully, who had played a large part of his trip to the Free Frontier.

Fonta Le Mans's account, Tully's invitation, the migration of the Silver Axe family, his own homelessness, and his quest for honor all set Baggio's choice.

Bagio and Anna were still chatting about the Free Frontier, but outside the window, the street was noisy, and Bagio and Anna looked out the window and saw a group of soldiers escorting some prisoners, some old and young, many of them crying, and at least being greeted with whips.

"It is said that not long ago, Will Berg, the lord of Foggy Castle, conquered another city-state, and it seems that these are the spoils of that city-state. Baggio whispered.

"There were no rumors that Will Berg was a slave, so the loot was probably a dead end. Anna looked at the prisoners who were being escorted with emotion.

"Among them, there are many children...... Bagio couldn't bear it, but he was helpless.

"Butch, you've really changed, once in the Midtown Federation, you weren't a person who would care about a child's life, it seems that the environment can really change a person's heart. Anna looked at Baggio, who shook his head helplessly.

"I feel that even now, my heart is only gray, and my hands are stained with the blood of many innocent people, which cannot be washed away. ”

Bagio said with a wry smile, but he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Anna's words...... However, Baggio carefully grasped Anna's words, and he shook his head slightly, Baggio didn't want to think much about it at this time, and just wanted everything to be figured out by himself.

In order not to cause trouble, Baggio and Anna stayed here for one night, and the next morning, they left the inn, and they continued southwest, passing through the checkpoint, where the soldiers guarding the checkpoint were very carefully examining the passing travelers.

"Who are you two?" the guard asked, suspiciously, seeing that Bagio and Anna were both armed.

"I'm a troubadour, and I've been searching all over the Free City for the latest poetry lately. Anna smiled and said to the guard, who hesitated when he saw that she was carrying a lute.

"And what about him? he doesn't look like a troubadour!" said the guard, pointing at Baggio again.

"He's a guard I've hired, and as you know, traveling in the Arro Continent will inevitably encounter danger, so it's better for me to be careful as a woman. Anna said with a smile that was very charming, and although the guards were soft-hearted, the strict rule of the Will family made him dare not be careless.

"Many spies from neighboring countries will use the identity of troubadours as a guise, so you better go with me and make a detailed record before leaving. The guard didn't dare to be careless, he said solemnly.

"My lord, we still have an agreed performance in the south, and I can't delay it, if you don't trust me, I can show you the manuscript of the poems I have written, many of which have been performed in the free city-states. ”

Anna said with a smile, she took out some original poems from her backpack at the same time, the guards looked through it, and still had some doubts in their hearts, Anna simply picked up the lute, and picked a song from it to play, the travelers and guards around were attracted by Anna's singing, Bagio felt nothing, after all, Anna used to be quite popular in the Clow Passage, she was an outstanding troubadour.

After the song was played, the people around were quite interested in discussing, after all, there are few troubadours performing here, and the troubadour's singing can sweep away the dullness, but few troubadours dare to perform in the ruling range of the Will family.

"Good singing...... But ......" guards hesitated.

"Alright, where can the spies sing so beautifully, this man must be a troubadour, you can let them pass!" shouted another guard, and many of them agreed with him, after all, Anna's singing voice was so beautiful.

"Okay, let's go, don't trouble me!" the guard let Baggio and Anna go, and Anna thanked the guards and led Baggio through the level.

Bagio and Anna were eager to get through the territory ruled by the Will family as quickly as possible, but Will Berg had conquered most of the city-states around the Fog Castle, which made it impossible for them to set foot in the territory ruled by the Will family for a while.

"Will Berg is really cautious, I guess we'll have to face a few more levels like that, but luckily you're a real troubadour, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get out." Baggio said with a wry smile.

"Such an opportunity, once is possible, and twice is estimated to be ineffective, so we have to find a way to avoid the checkpoints, even if it is a long detour, even if it is over the mountains and mountains. Anna was upset.

"Will Berg seems to be not a small character, the war of the free city-state has lasted for hundreds of years, and Will Berg may be the closest person to having the ability to unify in the past hundred years. Baggio made his point, and Anna nodded yes.

"Will Berg is a natural conqueror, and if he were to unify the Free City-States, it would not be good news for the Midtown Federation, or for Hellas Bay, or even for the Free Frontier. Anna said uneasily, and Bagio pondered this, for Will Berg certainly saw more than the land of the free city-states, and the ambitions of the conquerors were usually more ambitious.

Nervous and uneasy, after days of traveling, Bagio and Anna finally passed through the Fog Castle and came to the surrounding territory of the area ruled by the Will family.

On this day, it was already nightfall, and Anna found a small farm not far away, so Bagio and Anna decided to use the farm tonight, and tomorrow in a day's journey, they could successfully pass through the Will family's sphere of influence.
