Red Maple City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The closest city to the east of the Walando Rift Valley has long been famous for its red maple wine.
When it comes to red maple wine, people will think of Red Maple City at the first time. It was a purely commercial city, with few garrisons inside the city and no dedicated military camps outside the city.
Although it is already on the edge of the territory of the Celestial Dragon Dynasty, due to its unique geographical location, it has the Great Rift Valley of Valando as a natural barrier. The city has also not experienced any baptism of war for countless years.
Zhou Mingwu, the city lord of Red Maple City.
As the owner of a commercial city, Zhou Mingwu is an out-and-out hedonist.
All, he's a fat man.
Zhou Mingwu is very fat, he is only more than one meter and six points tall, and he weighs more than 140 kilograms. From a distance, his whole person looks like a ball that can walk and talk.
In fact, Zhou Mingwu was also very thin in the past. Even though he was born poor, being able to become the city lord of Red Maple City today is more due to his hard work over the years than luck.
But since becoming the city lord of Red Maple City, Zhou Mingwu felt that he had no higher goals in life, and he was already very satisfied with his current life. As a result, he became lazy and enjoyed a life that ordinary people could not imagine every day.
Slowly, his weight soared day by day.
This morning, Zhou Mingwu, as usual, got up from his big bed of more than 20 square meters. Under the service of a few handmaidens who were beautiful and dressed very frugally, they got dressed and washed. Then he came out of his luxurious room of more than 400 square meters, and along the way, he also needed two maids to support him, one left and one right, and there were people with fruits and fans to fan him.
According to the usual practice, Zhou Mingwu went to the dining room to eat slowly.
He has more than 30 dishes for breakfast every day, and he can basically eat about half of them by himself. As for the superfluous ones, they are naturally handled by the subordinates, and there is no need for him, the city lord, to worry about it at all.
After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Zhou Mingwu was about to move to a small Colosseum in his mansion at this time.
He would come here almost every day to watch the show, sometimes with beasts fighting with beasts, and sometimes arranging for humans to fight with beasts. It can be said that it is very cruel, but Zhou Mingwu enjoys it all very much.
He enjoyed the feeling of being in control of everything.
Although Red Maple City is famous all over the world, its location is on the edge of the territory of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty. The so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, and Zhou Mingwu, the city lord, is the biggest official here.
His words are sometimes more effective than the decrees handed down from above.
In Red Maple City, he is the Heavenly King Laozi.
The people of Red Maple City know this, and so do the merchants who come in and out of Red Maple City to do business.
But Zhou Mingwu has never encountered any trouble.
First, he has a backer in the court, and he sends a lot of gold every year, but it is not for nothing.
Second, he is also cautious enough. Although he is powerful in Red Maple City, he never provokes those who have not found out the details. So after so many years, he has been living well.
However, today seems to be destined for Zhou Mingwu's good days to come to an end.
Just as he was admiring the bloody battle in the Colosseum, one of his minions hurried over.
"Master, something is wrong!" shouted the servant as soon as he came.
When Zhou Mingwu heard this, he immediately frowned, and his original good interest was instantly swept away by this minion.
The two dog minions who were responsible for protecting him next to him took a look, and one of them immediately stepped forward and grabbed the running minion, just like grabbing a little chicken, and directly threw him in front of Zhou Mingwu.
"Say, what's wrong?" Zhou Mingwu looked at the minion with a gloomy face, "If it's nothing serious, I'll feed the tiger today, master!"
That's right, it's the tiger.
Don't be surprised, basically some of the beasts on Noah's continent are similar to those on Earth, and even the names are basically the same.
For example, tigers, lions, wolves, and so on.
It's just that compared to the beasts on the earth, the beasts on Noah's continent are relatively large and more ferocious and brutal.
It's like this tiger in the Colosseum at the moment, with a body length of more than six meters including its tail, and more than two meters tall standing on the ground, just like an elephant.
The slave who came to report the news grinned in pain just after falling, and when he heard Zhou Mingwu's words at this moment, his face turned pale with fright.
"Master, something really happened!" The slave dared to hesitate, he didn't want to be eaten by the tiger.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Mingwu looked at it, and his heart also 'groaned', and said secretly, could it be that something serious had happened?
At this time, the servant on the ground also took a breath, and then said, "The city ...... Outside the city was ...... Surrounded by an army!"
"What!" Zhou Mingwu's fat body stood up and almost didn't fall to the ground.
He asked aloud with a pale face, "How many enemy troops are coming?"
Red Maple City has been established for tens of thousands of years, and it has never experienced any war.
He Zhou Mingwu has only been the city lord for less than ten years, how can he catch up with such a thing?
However, although Zhou Mingwu was frightened, he felt in his heart that the number of enemy troops outside the city should not be much, after all, the Great Gap of Valantor was not a joke. The Great Rift Valley, which is thousands of kilometers long, is a complete natural danger, stopping any invading enemy army.
As for the detour, how long does it take to get around it with thousands of kilometers so far?
Therefore, there have been countless wars in history, and even the ownership of Red Maple City has been turned over several times, and the dynasty has changed one after another, but Red Maple City has always maintained its old appearance.
"Is there more than 10,000 people?" Zhou Mingwu asked anxiously.
The kneeling servant swallowed his saliva and said with a shocked face, "Go back...... Back to the master, no...... If it's not 10,000 people, I'm afraid there must be hundreds of thousands!"
"......" Zhou Mingwu's legs were weak, and he sat directly on the chair.
"This is impossible, hundreds of thousands of people, how did they survive the Great Rift Valley of Valantos?" Zhou Mingwu couldn't believe this, he even thought that it might be the minions in front of him playing tricks on him.
Zhou Mingwu, whose eyes were bloodshot, suddenly stood up, walked over and kicked the slave directly.
Don't look at him so fat, but in fact, he also had good strength in his early years, otherwise he wouldn't be the city lord of this Red Maple City.
At this step, the slave was just an ordinary person, and he was directly kicked by Zhou Mingwu and flew out, and after rolling the guardrail in front of him, he rolled directly and fell into the Colosseum.
The tiger who had just bitten his opponent to death had bloody eyes and stared at the man who had rolled down.
Humans, this tiger is no stranger.
Just the other day, it had just eaten two humans.
Although the human being who rolled down in front of him was dressed much more luxuriously than the two a few days ago, the tiger was just a beast, and he would not be able to distinguish this.
There was a tiger roar, and the tiger pounced directly.
In the Colosseum, the screams stopped abruptly as soon as they were remembered.
Zhou Mingwu was sweating profusely on his forehead, he didn't look at the slave who was bitten to death by the tiger, and shouted directly: "Send someone to the West City Gate for me to see if there are any enemy troops!"
The minions behind him trembled one by one, for fear of angering Zhou Mingwu at this moment.
Hearing Zhou Mingwu's order, a spirit-stirring minion immediately stood up and ran down after receiving the order.
When the other minions saw it, they immediately regretted that they were slow to react.
Seeing that the slave was ordered to go down to do something, the fat on Zhou Mingwu's face also shook a few times, followed by an angry snort, and with a wave of his big sleeves, he directly led people out of the Colosseum.
"Fake, it must be fake!" Zhou Mingwu kept repeating this sentence in his heart.
But before he could go far, he heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing in his ears. Suddenly, Zhou Mingwu's face turned extremely pale.
"How could it be? Could it be that what the dog slave said is true?" Zhou Mingwu was scared, he hadn't lived enough, he hadn't enjoyed enough, how could he want to die here now.
"No, I can't sit still. Zhou Mingwu forced himself to calm down, "Yes, I can run." As long as I get out of here, I'm sure I'll be safe!"
However, before running, Zhou Mingwu had to take most of his assets away. Otherwise, the person ran away, but became penniless, which is more unacceptable to Zhou Mingwu, who has been used to enjoying it, than killing him.
With a decision in his heart, Zhou Mingwu listened to the earth-shattering shouts in the distance, and immediately ran quickly to his vault.
As for his minions, they have long since turned into birds and beasts and dispersed.
When I heard the minions who were bitten to death by the tiger say that the army was besieging the city, these minions were scared. But they still had a glimmer of hope that it was all a lie from that minion. But now, they did hear the shouts of killing, and they were getting closer and closer.
At this time, who of them cares about Zhou Mingwu's life or death!
This is also why Zhou Mingwu doesn't treat these minions as human beings on weekdays, he can call them as he wants, and he will beat them up when he is in a bad mood. The unlucky one, just like the slave who reported the news just now, was eaten by the beast raised by Zhou Mingwu.
If they weren't in a hurry to flee for their lives, they really wanted to arrest Zhou Mingwu and kill him to vent their hatred.
Run, run as hard as you can!
At this time, the disadvantages of obesity are reflected.
Zhou Mingwu had spent a quarter of an hour before he reached the location of the vault. And his whole person is already tired. If it weren't for the shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer behind him like a talisman forcing him to keep running forward, he would have been sitting on the ground and unable to move at this moment.
"No, I must not die here!" Zhou Mingwu's eyes were full of longing for life.
But God seemed to be playing a joke on him, seeing that the vault was already in sight, Zhou Mingwu just showed a smile on his face.
At this moment, a wall on the left side of his front suddenly collapsed with a 'boom', followed by several figures rushing in from the side of the wall, and slashed directly at the figure that flew in at the front. (To be continued.) )
