Chapter 41 Road Conditions
The road to Chubu is not as muddy as the front. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The road from Oz City to the royal capital should have been groomed, and the simple gravel road was smooth to walk on, and at least it would not raise dust compared to the muddy road.
The business road, which should be a constant flow of merchants, is almost invisible at the moment.
After coming out of Oz City, all the way east, passing through the central plains, they will see a rushing river, which is the Marie River, which gave birth to the fertile land in the east of Violet, and this river flows from here, and the royal capital of Violet was built on the river.
In most prosperous cities in ancient times, they must have been near water sources, and only sufficient water sources could feed such a large number of people.
This road is more time-consuming, and the traffic in this era is indeed worth complaining about, Wang Xiaotian's convoy is already fast enough, but despite this, it will take them another week to see the tributaries of the Mali River.
On the first day, they left Oz City.
There are still a small number of regular troops in Oz City maintaining the road along the way, after all, Oz City is a trading city, and it is these various merchants who drive the development of the city.
Merchants came from the far west, and they would come to Oz City with furs, ores, etc., which were unique to the west, and under normal circumstances, they would sell some of their goods in Oz City and then continue east.
Occasionally, large merchants would buy Oz City specialties, which they would then pack and ship to all corners of the principality.
Through the difference in prices brought by the merchants, Oz City buys some things cheaply, and then sells them to another group of merchants at a slightly higher price to make a profit, and for the nobles of Oz City, the merchants are their money-making chickens.
A large number of monsters blocked the road, which was to cut off the financial route of some nobles, which was unbearable.
On the main road from Oz City to the east, Wang Xiaotian could still vaguely see the regular army, but the further east he went, he could only see some town militias.
Don't underestimate the militia here.
Oz City is a trading city, and the distribution of towns and villages around it is mostly dependent on trade routes.
Most trade routes also deliberately pass through inhabited places, to be precise, because there are more people walking, there are roads, and many villages and towns are also small settlements.
Perhaps because of security reasons, most towns are equipped with guard towers, fences and other facilities to prevent some robbers.
And there will always be some restless and ordinary young people in the village, for example, George was born in such a traveling town, he looks at all kinds of travelers, he can always hear the outside world from the mouths of those people, uneasy and lonely, longing for glory, young people will always go out of their hometown.
Some young people are lucky enough to be taken by one of the adventurers who come and go, and they take on an apprenticeship and start their own adventure. Some young people go out to work hard with enthusiasm. Some of these people went out and never came back, while others returned to their hometowns after giving up their adventures outside.
These adventurers who return to their hometowns, they often have strong combat effectiveness, even if their professional level is not high, but the ability to fight for their lives should not be underestimated, after all, this world is a world of swords and magic, most adventurers are killed in a certain adventure mission, and they can retire with a scar, most of them are ruthless.
When they return to their hometowns, they will be the main force in training the militia.
If nothing else, these people will marry and have children in their hometowns, spend their ordinary lives, perhaps, in old age they will brag about their adventures and reminisce about their past when they drink with their children and grandchildren.
"Argons?!"
George and Kuru pushed aside the grass in front of them and looked at the footprints on the ground, along which he saw some scales and several Argonian corpses that were about to rot.
Following the trail along the way, George and Kuru traced it very lightly.
In such a wild, many traces do not need to be worn out after a while, and wild tracking, which is also a training program in George's training camp, requires them to track prey in a specific environment.
And the instructors of this mission are taught by the most elite Inkblade Scouts.
"Looks like a lot!"
As they got closer, George gently climbed a tree and saw a fire not far away, and it seemed that a group of wurmites had come nearby.
Argonians are generally divided into two categories, one is the intelligent race, this kind of dragons they inherit the bloodline of the dragon family, they are born with a strong body, and even have a little dragon magic, they are more famous and powerful races on the mainland, and it is rumored that some dragons have been exiled overseas.
On the other hand, they are unintelligent Miscellaneous Dragons, this kind of Wulongs live a life like drinking blood, and most of them are descendants of Black Dragons, White Dragons, and some tyrannical dragons.
In the same way, these dragonmen have no intelligence, but they have strong force.
It is rumored that these unintelligent Argonians were banished to the Underworld by the real Dragonmen, and in that harsh environment, the reproduction of the Argonians became a problem.
The Wurmians may have been diluted through generations and different humanoid creatures, but it's still a tricky race.
"The number is around thirty......"
George took a rough count, and there were about thirty argonians in front of him.
These wurmites were more humanoid beasts than humans, with grayish-yellow scales that covered their bodies like a layer of scale armor, and they had no clothing, but they held short swords and blades in their hands.
Apparently, they must have attacked some humans and obtained these weapons.
Their eyes are scarlet, and they can't see any brilliance of intelligence, such eyes should have a certain ability to see at night, and even if you don't look at their other abilities, just that layer of scales can make them a headache.
"Go back and bring people and destroy this group of Argonians!"
This group of Wurmians has taken root not far from the trade route, if they are not cleared up in time, and wait for the convoy behind to catch up, when the Wurmians who have no wisdom suddenly attack, although it will not cause damage to the convoy, but it is a great drain on time.
And it is also half a day's journey from the nearest town, and the wilderness at night is dangerous, not to mention that it is very troublesome to spend the night in the wilderness during this special period.
Therefore, George was going to lead someone to clear the "roadblocks" in front of the convoy first.
After making up your mind.
The figures of George and Kuru slowly faded in the grass, the mottled shadows of the grass swayed, George and Kuru left quietly, without alarming any creatures, and not long after, waiting for the group of argons in front of them would be the runic war knives of the Graystone Alliance.
