Chapter 200: The Forgotten Zone
Following the main road connecting the two cities, and now that it was dusk, most of the caravans had entered the city according to their plan of action to seek refuge in the city walls. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info So, with the horses under his crotch running hard, Seamus quickly left Santa behind.
It wasn't until the next morning, when he had already taken advantage of the night and left aside the second city on the way, that he relaxed his nervous expression. Like a normal passerby, he slowly urged the horses to walk on the road.
Now, the horse under him is not the same as yesterday. As a cautious man, he had already taken up the pretext of transporting goods, and had his subordinates hire some grooms to sell goods on several roads near Santa Ansta. The wages he paid were very high, and the work was not heavy, so some of the farmers on the road were happy to accept the job.
However, Seamus had only one simple requirement for these employees who turned to grooms. Ensure the condition of the horses and do not withhold the forage of the horses. With the lure of a high salary, it's not a task that can't be done.
Now, the horses are finally doing their job. The location of the horse boarding is specially arranged by Seamus. Therefore, this ensures that Seamus can quickly get away from Santa Ansta during the night.
"Where am I going next?" said Seamus, frowning, thinking about his next move. "Now, even the people of Curtisson have given up on looking for me. However, the Temple of Light would not give up. If you continue in this area, it will be discovered sooner or later. ”
It's not that Seamus is making a fuss, thinking that the Temple of Light will be desperately searching for his whereabouts for a few mines. In fact, for the Temple of Light, these mines really don't have too much value and are not taken into account. However, finding Seamu's traces is not a matter of much energy for the Temple of Light.
This is one of the advantages of the Temple of Light, with the huge influence of the God of Light, the diocese of the Temple of Light is also spread over the Onisek Road, most of the Human Alliance. And the healing power of light magic, which occupies the natural Yuki, naturally attracts a large number of cultists.
With the worship of the congregation, plus the influence of the Temple of Light. Many things that are extremely difficult for a country have become easy in the hands of the Temple of Light.
All you need to do is post a bounty in each of your temples, informing you of Seamus's image and indicating that it is a heretic and how much gold will be awarded if you find it. That's all the work for the Temple of Light. The rest is to wait.
Naturally, there will be bounty hunters or cultists who want to show their devotion to the god of light to deliver Seamus to the Temple of Light.
The bishop of each diocese has the ability to issue bounties. Seamus was sure that the new bishop of the diocese of St. Ansta would put himself in the bounty announcement as soon as he figured out where the mines were going. And with the spread of magical information, at the latest a week, his figure will be seen by the cultists everywhere.
"If that's the case, then I have only one place to go. Seamus thought for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly: "Forgotten Zone, I didn't expect that I would want to go to this place one day." ”
The Forgotten Zone, as the name is called, sounds very mysterious. However, there is nothing mysterious about its location and cause.
This place, called the Forgotten Zone, is actually located between the sphere of influence of the Human Alliance and the Barren Plains. It began as a buffer between the forces of humanity and the forces of the Hidden.
As time passed, the atmosphere of the human coalition and the forces of the barren plains gradually eased, and skirmishes broke out less frequently. However, the Human Alliance is not willing to let the Hidden Alliance leave the troubles of war and can develop with peace of mind. As a result, they came up with a new idea, using criminals to cause chaos among the Hidden Ones.
As a result, an order spread throughout the human kingdom, and the major kingdoms began to escort the murderers in their prisons to the borders of the human alliance. The prisoners arrived at the border in batches and were deported into the buffer zone without any supplies.
And these prisoners did not live up to the expectations of the human coalition at the beginning. Because there are no materials that can keep you alive, if you don't want to die, then there is only one way, to rob, to grab it from the hands of the orcs.
In the beginning, the Hidden Ones Alliance was defenseless and really suffered some losses. Soon, however, the prepared orcs gathered their soldiers and beat back the prisoners who had tasted the sweetness and wanted to attack again.
The prisoners, who had suffered heavy casualties, lived helplessly in this buffer zone. The teams on both sides were on their guard. However, as more and more prisoners were trapped in the buffer zone, some powerful prisoners began to gather a group of subordinates and establish their own power.
And more, the murderers who feel that they have no hope of escaping the pursuit have begun to take the initiative to enter this buffer zone. They, fully equipped, entered the area from the looseness of the human coalition defenses.
As a line of defense against large-scale legion invasions, if you enter alone, then there will be a bright avenue everywhere. In fact, Victoria and the others went in and out as well, and Joey was able to get out with the entire merchant group, not to mention a few outlaws.
So, gradually, without the efforts of the human alliance, this lawless land that was forcibly established began to grow stronger. The human alliance began to taste its own bitter fruits.
For this group of forgotten people, they certainly cannot identify with the orcs of the barren plains. In the same way, they don't have any good feelings about the human coalition that sent them to this land.
As a result, this group of outlaws also began to appear around the human coalition. Just because they can't fight an organized army doesn't mean they can't sneak into nearby towns at night to burn and loot. When the army arrives, they are often left with only a sheet of burning ashes and the corpses of countless civilians.
Finally, after several rounds of clean-up by the Human Alliance and the Hidden Ones Alliance, the distribution of power in this area has stabilized. Between humans and the Hidden, this region known as the Forgotten Zone has emerged.
Now that the forces of the Forgotten Strip have largely been settled, a few powerful assailants have established a few rudimentary strongholds and begun to collect taxes from passing caravans. At the same time, it also provides security for caravans within their own forces.
They have a very clear understanding of themselves, and only with the help of the caravans that they can continue to live. In the same way, they need caravans to provide themselves with the supplies they need. As a result, the fees they charge are quite reasonable. And, for the items purchased, they do not take it by force, but pay according to the price. Lured by huge profits, caravans still weave through the area. Under the common tacit understanding, their transaction reached a balance.
This is what Seamus wants to go.
