Chapter 2: The City of Chaos
Cut off from transportation, full of dangers, and struggling to move forward, this is a true portrayal of the wilderness, where scattered cities are like isolated islands in the sea, struggling to maintain their existence in the raging waves, guarding the lives of emerging humans. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info outside the city, there is hell, only the strong can survive, and the humble face only death.
The urban island represents the vitality of the continuation of the fire of life, the endless wilderness, and the endless despair at the end of civilization, while the mercenaries wander between the two, gambling with their lives to win high profits.
This world can't do without mercenaries, this is the consensus reached by all emerging humans, without mercenaries, caravans can't cross the wilderness, without mercenaries, travelers can only bury their bones in the wilderness if they lose their protection, there are no mercenaries, no one can rescue when the city encounters a crisis, there are no mercenaries, and ordinary people have no power to resist in the face of the threat of source energy. Mercenaries are like a link, one end is connected to the city, the other end is connected to the wilderness, or in other words, one end is connected to life, the other end is connected to death, when the bond is broken, the new civilization can only usher in destruction.
However, the lives of mercenaries and ordinary people are incompatible, mercenaries indulge arbitrarily and do whatever it takes to pursue happiness, but what ordinary people want is stability and security. Eventually, the mercenaries, who were in the minority, left the city of the majority and established their homes in the wilderness. As a result, the city belonging to the mercenaries appeared, and most of the mercenary teams took this as their home and undertook the commission through intermediaries, which was their job, which was different from the dangerous work of ordinary people.
Of course, there is more than one mercenary city, the Maple Leaf Continent is very large, more than 40 million square kilometers, with a total population of more than 100 million, and it has been estimated that among the more than 100 million people, the number of professional mercenaries is between two and thirty thousand people, divided into hundreds of teams to operate their own operations. With such a large number of capable people, it is naturally difficult for a city to bear, and with a space of more than 40 million square kilometers, if there is only one mercenary city, no matter where it is built, it will not be able to cover the entire continent. Therefore, after nearly a hundred years of exploration and adjustment, and paying the price of the rise and fall of thirty or forty mercenary cities, the number of mercenary capitals was finally maintained at nine, distributed in all directions of the continent, and most of the business from the surrounding areas was divided.
Of course, outside the confines of the nine mercenary cities, there are still many sporadic free teams that live with ordinary people as they did in the past, but their numbers are too small to be negligible.
The City of Chaos is the name of a mercenary city, and it is also the home of roses and leopards.
Located in the southeast region of the Maple Leaf Continent, the city covers an area of more than 30 square kilometers and has a population of less than 10,000 people. However, although the population is small, the strength is far greater than that of a normal city, and the number of mercenaries here is as high as two thousand, divided into more than sixty teams of large and small, these people are the consumers, managers, protectors of the city, and of course, the occasional cameo of the city's destroyers.
In addition to the mercenaries, there are also nearly a thousand non-mercenary abilities, although they have strength, but because of physical reasons, or because of psychological problems, they no longer want to seek money in the wilderness, so they live with mercenaries, and make a living by providing some jobs similar to commerce, manufacturing, service industry, and various strange industries.
The remaining thousands of people are a group of ordinary people who undertake the daily maintenance of the city and live as ordinary as in an ordinary city.
"Tsk, this proportion of population, how do you keep the city running normally, and it hasn't collapsed yet. It was getting late, and the crow had been driven out of the car by this time, and the three of them pushed the locomotive and walked on the only road leading to the city gate.
The defenses of the chaotic city are very simple, and within the hidden shield, there is only a circle of three or four meters high walls to block the infestation of those beasts that do not have long eyes, and there is nothing else, but it is understandable, after all, the combat effectiveness of the mercenary city is very considerable, and there is no need to make up for it with a large number of defensive facilities. Twilight has fallen, and through the lilac light curtain of the hidden shield, you can faintly see the lights lit up in the city, the lights are dense and compact, and the prosperity is far greater than that of the brocade city.
"It's not that easy to break down. Rose said expressionlessly, "In the city of chaos, although there are many people engaged in planting, most of the basic materials still rely on trade from the outside world, for the surrounding cities a day or two by car, the city of chaos is their food and clothing, and trade with the city of brocade alone can feed the people of their whole city." With basic materials, other problems are easy to solve. ”
"That's not what I'm talking about. The crow came into contact with this peculiar type of city for the first time, and asked curiously, "How can the problem of eating be solved, it's a big deal to increase the planting intensity, the key is urban management, more than 60 mercenary groups, adding up to more than 3,000 capable people, do you rely on fighting to decide the city's policy?"
"Ha, idiot crow, your proposal is too good. The female leopard slapped the crow on the back, grabbed the crow's neck and said happily, "I said it should be like this a long time ago, but no one listens to me, not even the roses help me, it's really hateful." ”
"I'll help them beat you up. Rose glanced at the female leopard coldly, and explained indifferently, "Actually, it's similar to what you said, daily affairs are relatively simple, and you can handle them by hiring a group of administrators, and decision-making matters are composed of the ten strongest teams in the chaotic city, to be exact, the ten leaders discuss and make decisions." ”
"Tsk, it's really by fists. The raven pursed his lips and said boredly, "You ...... Well, we are certainly not part of the ruling team, there are too few people, and even if we have the strength, we don't have much right to speak. ”
"That's right, but it's also wrong, our Fire Rose Mercenary Group has a lot of right to speak, if you really want to compete for the position of the ruling team, although it is very difficult, it is not that there is no hope at all. Rose shook her head, "It's just ...... I'll tell you about this later, so let's forget about it for now. ”
"Whatever you want. The crow shrugged, as an outsider who had just joined the team, of course, it was impossible to be absolutely trusted immediately, if Rose really did this, the crow's reaction would never be to be grateful, but to turn around and leave, so as not to be dragged down by this simple-minded regimental leader, so he just asked Nunu at the city gate that had already arrived in front of him, "There are still guards, that is, there are still professional troops in the chaotic capital?"
"Who are we? Mercenaries. The corners of Rose's mouth raised slightly, as if she was satisfied that the crow had finally guessed wrong, "There are no professional troops here, and in the chaotic capital, all commanding acts are maintained by commissions. It's like this group of guards, tsk, it seems that this time it was the people of the Tianlong Mercenary Group who grabbed this task. ”
"It's really easy to do, just post a task. The crow rolled her eyes and said, "Also, Draco? Isn't that a centipede?"
"Ha, yes, I say that a lot. The female leopard had a deep expression on her face, "But the xx still doesn't admit it, it's really hypocritical." ”
