Time the eighth day of the god month, the fourth day of the water

Western part of Yanbarangshire, on the outskirts of the Piranger Forest.

The camp of the expeditionary regiment was located on the west side of the forest, about two hundred feet away from the forest.

There were more than 200 members of the expedition regiment: 30 full-time slaves for heavy logistics, 50 people brave, 50 local patrolmen, 50 subordinate soldiers of the second lord, and 20 personal soldiers sent by the duke. The rest of the Yu refers to the three mages - the second lord's spell advisor, the blue-sleeved mage Punji, the second spell advisor of Lord Dujue, the green-collar mage Wang Duolan, and the third, the green-collar mage from the legal department of a certain country, the proud mage.

Yes, Ao Zongheng also became a member of the expedition group, and he was also the deputy commander, in fact, if he hadn't pushed him repeatedly, the regiment commander would have been him. Although that was Lord Dujue's magic advisor, the mage of the Legal Management Department was naturally superior to the secular mage of the same level, not just a sense of superiority.

That night in the town's bar, Master Pongki and the Count's own soldiers approached Austere, of course, he was not here to find the Lord, on the contrary, he had come to invite Austein to the Count's appointment.

How could the Second Lord come to the door? It's complicated and simple, because of the tax collector I met at Strange Clam Fen's house that day.

The tax collector is certainly not an official, but since he is in the same system, he knows very well about the robbery of the tax convoy, and he knows about the formation of a group to conquer the giants even before the second lord sends out the hanging recruitment notice and posts it. But at that time, he only knew, and had no thought in his heart—compared to ordinary farmers and residents, a man like him, who was more or less educated, seemed to be much more sensible, and with his own stature, no matter how good the bounty was, it was not good to live.

But when he saw the proudly silver-edged lacquer-green double-lone flange six-pattern star-shaped badge, his mind came alive. This is the green-collar mage master of the legal management department, if he is willing to help, this expedition group will definitely be nine out of ten, so I, as the introducer, can I also get a bounty, right? Even if Arrogant didn't dump him and left directly, he didn't give up. He was not even in a hurry to collect the taxes, and hurried to report to the Count. The second lord gave fifty geelongs to the little tax collector, and at the same time ordered people to keep an eye on the whereabouts of this mage, and in order not to miss this one in time, he sent his spell advisor directly to the town of Gualo, so when someone in the bar found out about the appearance of this mage, the Ponji mage could come so quickly.

Arrogant was reluctant to dump the little tax collector, but the second lord politely sent someone to invite, he was willing to give face, and he could already guess the reason why the second lord invited him.

The castle of the second lord of the second lord of Shuolapor was not far from the town, and the second lord warmly went to the outside of the castle to greet the mage from the Ministry of Law - this is not too grand, the mage is very expensive, and the nobles of the second lord's level can hardly afford to receive the mage's magic advisor.

The process of meeting with the second lord was also very simple, because this master did not pay attention to cumbersome etiquette, and did not even have the habit of careful words and slow conversations, but the second lord and Master Punji were not very comfortable with this direct exchange, and secretly wondered in their hearts which country's legal department this master belonged to, how could he speak so unelegantly? But the communication process has become direct and efficient.

The second lord expressed his willingness to pay 800 Stolin to ask Ao Zongheng to be the head of this expedition group, if he succeeded in getting back the tax, he was willing to take out another 5% of the recovered part as a reward, according to the calculation of 50,000 Stolin, this is 2,500 Stolin, this money is exchanged for Loren Dun, just enough to take the decal, even if it is the second lord's family, it may not be able to take it out at any time, but the second lord is a sober person, naturally knows how to bleed and save life, which is more important.

Arrogant knew that this was not a small amount of money, but he still made a decisive counteroffer: a thousand Stolin shots.

He actually doesn't have much experience in collecting money to do things, and he doesn't care too much about how much money he has, he just thinks that if he doesn't pay back, he seems to be too easy to talk......

In fact, he was willing to meddle in this matter, not because he cared about these thousands of Stolins, but because the other two did not declare it.

One is that he wants to see the so-called humanoid creatures in this world, according to the ring spirit, the giants in each world are quite different, some are more than ten or even dozens of zhang tall, and they can climb mountains, and some are only one or two zhang high, but they also have their own strange abilities. When he came to this other world, he had seen a lot of people, and he had only seen strange creatures before, so he naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity.

The first reason is for himself, but the second reason is for others, the second lord said, this is a special tax for the protectorate, which is directly ordered to be paid by the king, but no matter what objective reason you have, there should be as many taxes as there are people in your county, so if you can't take back this tax, Lord Du can only let the townspeople and farmers in these places pay the tax again. This is a bad news for those poor and miserable people, don't look at a hundred or dozens of Geelongs It seems that it is only a few days and a half of income, most people of this generation have few savings, and living all year round without starvation is considered a victory. Any unexpected expenses are difficult to squeeze out, let alone squeeze twice in a short period of time?

Ao Zongheng didn't feel much about this kind of thing - there are a lot of such things in Middle-earth, in the chaos of the war, people are like ants, cannibals are still endless, pay taxes a few more times, what if the family is ruined?

However, there is a strong request from the spirit of the ring, and there is a request from the second lord outside, even if he has face, he took over this errand, and there is only one condition - not the head of the regiment, I only take action, not manage.

In fact, the leader of this expedition group was originally set, and it was Wang Duolan, the second spell consultant who was finally invited from Lord Dujue, but he repeatedly asked him to be the head of the regiment because he saw that he was a superb cultivator.

With the unexpected joining of Aozong, the rest of the things went smoothly, I heard that there were two leading mages to lead the team, and the people were all raised in one day, in fact, it was better to raise than to rob the newspaper - everyone thought that the three hundred Geerang should be very easy to take.

Early in the morning of the sixth day of the natural god month, the second lord swore an oath for the expeditionary group, and more than 200 people set off on more than 30 chariots, plus dozens of moats on horseback.

The forest of Piranf is about a day-and-a-half-road ride from the castle of Count Sholapol, but it belongs to the neighbouring county. Well, the special tax of Hiyagarang County was robbed in Yanbarang County.

If it is placed in Middle-earth, this kind of thing can be discussed for a year or two with the three sides of the two places and counties, but in the countries of these feudal vassal systems in Miredang, it is much simpler - the king only collects the money, and ignores everything else, and Yan Balang Dujue is also very simple, and directly replies to Xiye Garang Dujue: You have to investigate this matter, and you will send someone to search the forest, I will not help or interfere with you, but your people can not step on my field, but don't blame me for not giving face.

So this way, unusually smooth, after the camp tent was laid down, the regiment commander Wang Duolan announced that he would rest for half a day and enter the forest tomorrow morning to search.

In addition to the twenty people who were in charge of the night, there was still light coming out of the main tent in the camp.

Although it was not a formal legion, most of the people in the regiment were from military backgrounds, and the pre-war meeting was naturally to be held, and the people who were qualified to hold this meeting were six people: the three mages, the leader of the Dujue's personal army, the leader of the second lord's subordinate soldiers, and the captain of the patrol guard, except for the representative of the people. Why do you say that no one will be there for the slaves? and they don't have to go to war......

Arrogant and sat in the corner with his eyes closed, he had already told Wang Duolan that he, the deputy head of the regiment, would not be disciplined or disciplined, but he would never bring danger to the regiment. At first, Wang Duolan felt that he was okay, and he really had a little bit of a competition with this green-collar mage from the Law Management Department, but when he saw the other person's rather abnormal evolution, he also rested this heart—the goods had to be thrown away, and the people had to die compared to the people. So he didn't mind Ao Zongheng's statement, and he was happy to monopolize the power.

However, when Ao Zongheng listened to it, he felt that it was a little inappropriate, why did he talk about it for a long time, the division of labor, the ranks, and the formation, but he didn't mention the giants? Ao Zongheng knew that he didn't understand the matter of marching and fighting, but he understood the truth of knowing himself and knowing the enemy.

He frowned again and again, and when he couldn't help but start asking, he saw that Punji was glaring at him, and although he was puzzled, he still endured it until the end of the meeting, and when there were only three mages left in the main account, he asked his question.

Wang Duolan was very calm, as if he had expected Aozhu to ask this question, "Aofa, in fact, I don't know much more about our opponent tomorrow than you, or Punji is better suited to answer this question than I do. ”

When a secular mage talks to a subordinate mage in person, he should be called a position in a solemn and formal manner, and at other times, the title of status is more intimate and friendly. If the other party's rank is quasi or trainee, in the absence of a higher-level legal department officer, the direct omission is considered to be close and complimentary, and the reason is the same as removing the words deputy and inferior in front of the position when addressing the deputy position.

Aren't you more than I know?!Isn't it for some mistakes in the future so that I can bear the wrath of this one?Ponji sneered in his heart, but he didn't dare to refuse-although the other party was only a second seat and he was the chief, but the people were from the Dujue family, and Xiuwei also stabilized his own two ends, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only endure it.

Ponki's spell cultivation is undoubtedly the lowest among the three mages, but the level of storytelling is probably the best, but this incident of an attack on a tax-carrying convoy is far more strange and suspenseful than the suspense on the hanging notice.
