Chapter 1 Territorial Banditry
Chapter 1: Territorial Banditry
The huge and majestic military castle towered in the hazy mist, and above the tower, there was only a group of heavily armed and heavy iron-clad fortress guards, and some holy warriors dressed in gorgeous armor and carrying silver giant swords;
There are also elite crossbowmen dressed in delicate and beautiful scale armor and good protection, armed with crossbows that are ready to fire and glow with deadly arrows. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
These warriors, who were fully armed, and somewhat ornate and deadly, were now neatly and reasonably arranged on the city walls, and all the armed forces formed a perfect defensive system, and these weapons all revealed the solemnity and sanctity of this majestic castle.
I saw a samurai in uniform on the main tower of this majestic castle.........
...... Forehead......
Although the man's armor was very powerful and domineering, this shape was in stark contrast to the silver greatsword warriors who looked sacred.
This shape can only be described by words such as "wonderful", "wild" and "bold".
The armor was like a steel monster, and the two huge metal fangs on the helmet shone in the moonlight, but it felt so weird.
The armor as a whole is like a mutated demonized beast of the wilderness, warning its own territorial invaders with roars and roars.
Armed with this murderous monster armor, it is estimated that the enemy will involuntarily think of the terrifying beast unique to Greenburen's territory, the iron-armored fanged beast (also known as the alienated fanged boar), which is intimidating.
[Introduction to Alienated Beasts: There are also some beast biologists in the Klendia continent who directly divide these alienated beasts into the category of Monsters. Because the Alien Fanged Beasts are more powerful than most of the Demonic Beasts, although they will not use magic skills to assist or attack directly, their almost indestructible bodies and fangs with powerful attack power are even more huge than ordinary cattle, and even the strongest beast, the Alienated Saber-toothed Tiger, does not want to provoke such terrible monsters, fortunately their food conflicts are not large. 】
At this time, the majestic castle is heavily guarded, and all the armed forces are ready to fight, could it be that this place is about to be attacked by a powerful enemy?
As expected, a mysterious wizard shrouded in a black mist was floating in the sky not far from the castle, as if he was praying, as if he was performing a summoning ritual to induce some mysterious power, and the mysterious chanting sound was constantly hitting the huge castle.
The mysterious and terrifying wizard floats above the castle, chanting some kind of terrible spell that seems to be able to destroy this sacred and majestic castle.
Suddenly, on the tallest main tower of the castle, a samurai dressed in strange weapons took two steps in the direction of the wizard, only to be hit by a powerful jet of scorching flames, and all the samurai on the castle tower were caught off guard.
This devastating flame erupted from the tip of the burning staff of the mysterious wizard.
The strangely armed samurai was suddenly knocked away by the scorching explosion of fireworks, and was flying towards the outside of the tower dozens of meters high, as if falling into an endless abyss......
"Ah...... At...... I don't want to die! I haven't touched the desirable body of a beautiful woman, I'm still a virgin!"
The blonde youth subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and the young man carefully looked at this simple and somewhat familiar room several times, the chairs and benches in the room were very old, and there was only a flickering candle flame, exuding a faint light, and after a long time, the tension in the young man's heart finally dissipated.
At this time, this guy whose complexion had recovered slightly was sure that it was indeed a nightmare just now.
The young man's heart could not help but sigh, "How wonderful it would be if that splendid castle were my property!"
Thinking, thinking, the young man fell asleep again......
Fame, power, wealth, and beauty are the dreams of almost every adventurer or mercenary in the Continent of Crendia, but most people do not have enough status and wealth to achieve their goals, and only support the belief in realizing their dreams through love, hope, and courage.
With the support of spiritual beliefs, we can continue to walk through various difficulties. Some became great mercenaries or wealthy merchants, some became knights canonized by nobles, and many more died on the adventure.
Being able to bury the corpse intact on the earth was a luxury for many adventurers who hunted beasts or even beasts, and most of the dead beast hunters or monster hunters were put into the belly of the beast and left a living coffin.
Life is precious to the adventurers of Klendia, but it is worth risking life for those who do not have fame, power, wealth, or beauty to enjoy.
There is no economic and political "globalization" on the continent of Klendia, there are no great magic schools or samurai academies here, and magic is like an unsolved mystery to the common people of Klendia.
Although there are magicians, these magicians are very ethereal like gods, and no one knows their names, and there is no historical information about the so-called magic masters slaying dragons.
The book "Glenn Notes" on the Continent of Klendia was written in the official ancient Klendia language of the Holy Hui Sect. It is said to be a translation of a book carried by a shipwreck survivor, and surprisingly the book was soaked in the sea without being destroyed for half a minute, and it was found that the entire book was tightly protected with butter paper.
The demons and monsters in this book are like a flood of wild beasts, migrating and hunting in the human world, and this book has no author's signature, only a strange square symbol transliterated as "forest".
Although there are terrible monsters in the real world of the Christiania continent, they are all in the treacherous places far away from the human track and full of dangers, and the only demonic beasts that can speak can be spoken are almost extinct dragons, the word "dragon" is like the word "porcelain" from the mysterious ancient eastern country, these words have always attracted the people of the Christiania continent, they are all symbols of power and wealth, and at the same time they seem very mysterious.
At this time, this haggard and frightened young man, his name is Glenn, and Glenn's background has always been a mystery about the Lord of Greenbolen.
Glenn has beautiful blond hair, but he has yellow skin and black eyes, which are different from the appearance characteristics of all races in the Cliffordia continent, he was rescued by the clergy of the Holy Radiance Sect, but his whole body is very strangely armed, only a dagger on his body is engraved with the ancient Klendia language: Glenn.
The young man was visibly amnesiac and could not even speak, he was sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, and although his appearance was different from that of most people in Klendia, he looked very handsome, and his height was only slightly shorter than that of the adults here.
Glenn, who has lost his memory, through the hand-in-hand teaching of Chrissy, the priestess of Bolun Town, taught by Shenghui, Glenn basically learned the common language of Klendia in less than half a year.
The fact that the people of Klendia have the opportunity to acquire a wealth of knowledge is inseparable from the credit of the Church of the Holy Radiance.
Ordinary children between the ages of 7 and 12 go to church every weekend to learn word arithmetic and simple common sense techniques.
The big guy in the church is nicknamed "Big Fool" by the little guys, and Glenn is not angry about the loud title, although he and these friends see each other on weekends, he obviously has no common language to play with these friends.
Glenn has been in this small town of Bolun for half a year, and this town is actually equivalent to a small town.
With its fortified walls and towering castles, Bolun is undoubtedly the most prosperous town on the continent.
A small town with a population of more than 50,000 people, due to the limited management level of the mayor here, in fact, many senior businessmen know that the actual population of Bolun Town should be close to 100,000.
The tax here is more than 50,000 gold coins a week, and the town of Bolun has nearly 10,000 merchants, and the lord here is the Earl of Chelman.
The elderly count, who is 70 years old, is said to have been one of the ten heiresses of the Holy See to the Holy See, but due to an unknown attack, Miss Chrissia has been missing for nearly thirty years.
The lord has been looking for an heir worthy of trust, but unfortunately there has been no suitable candidate, and for the old earl, maintaining the stability of the realm seems to be the best test for the future heir.
In recent months, Greenborne's caravan has been attacked by unknown bandits, which has led to a continuous decline in the economy of Greenborne's territory, although it is nothing for this countdom with four towns, five castles, hundreds of manors and hundreds of kilometers of territory, but the life of the common people is becoming increasingly difficult, and the bandits in Greenbron must be completely eradicated.
For this reason, the only Earl Lord of Clendia announced the establishment of the Bounty Guild, or Bounty Alliance.
This organization, in particular, imposes high bounties on robbers who rob caravans and rob civilians, offering a bounty of 20 silver coins, which is one dinar of gold for each robber killed, and a bounty of 3 gold coins for capturing alive, and the famous bandit leader or even leader will be as high as ten, ten, or even a hundred times.
The Glenn brothers were upstairs in the tavern, intending to ask the tavern men where they could find some work, because at this time he found that he only had two silver coins left in his purse, which was 100 copper coins. Hearing that adventurers with strong martial arts and noble character can sign up for Bounty Hunter, Glenn hurriedly ran to sign up......
In order to make ends meet, Glenn pawned his strange armament to Robinson, the owner of the smithy shop, for 20 gold coins, leaving only the most handy odd-shaped long knife.
In order to thank the priestess of the church Chrissy for her help, she donated 18 gold coins to the church, when the priestess Chrissy kissed him excitedly, and then fled shyly.
Before Glenn could wake up from a wonderful kiss, the unfortunate news came that he had been permanently kicked out of the church by Chrissy, and that he had to go to the most "luxurious" tavern in town, which was actually only the best tavern.
The decoration of the "Brave Boar" tavern is actually very shabby, but the fierce fanged boar head hanging in the hall undoubtedly does not declare this tavern a paradise for adventurers, and the scantily clad tavern girl is the most seductive rosemary for men here.
Unfortunately, these ladies are actually the owners behind this tavern, and it is said that most of the property of this tavern is the property of His Majesty Chelman, Lord of the Earldom.
The average adventurer never made trouble in the tavern, and only verbally teased these "tavern girls".
Compared with the people of various countries, the civilians of Greenborne's territory are the most loyal to the lord, not because the lord levies the lowest tax, but because the lord is really protecting these civilians, whether it is a robber or a rogue mercenary from other places, as long as it is a bully, the lord will send the most elite earl fangs to protect and punish those villains.
For decades, this Earldom has been a country and a country, but for some reason, there have been mysterious organizations in the near future, overseas caravans have been frequently attacked, and unmarried beautiful girls between the ages of 16 and 20 in the territory have mysteriously disappeared nearly 50 people in a row.
Many mercenaries believe that he is a notorious flower thief, calling himself the "Merry Swordsman" Charles Sith, but according to the information of the bounty hunters, this person has been castrated by the sword master of the Kingdom of Europe 1 month ago, and has been imprisoned in the Djonesburg prison, it is impossible for him, and it is impossible for one person to take 50 young and beautiful women without knowing it.
Rogson, the most experienced bounty hunter, pointed to the source of the girls' disappearance to large and small bandit gangs, but Rogson, who led 100 master bounty hunters, wiped out more than a dozen bandits and did not find a clue to the missing woman.
Because of Glenn's skill and courage and his enlistment with the Bounty Hunters, he also joined Rogson's team.
According to one of the robber leaders who was tortured, a mysterious group of cloaked men had been seen heading towards Bolun Bay two days earlier.
Due to the number of mysterious people in the team of more than 100 and the fact that they carried self-defense weapons, he did not dare to rob them, but followed this group of mysterious people all the way.
According to the bandit leader with a slewd face, the group marched very slowly, usually at night, and nearly half of them seemed to be driven away, and they were supposed to be captives, but all of them were shrouded in broad cloaks, and they could not tell the difference.
Then the leader of the bandits revealed that nearly half of the group looked like followers of some religion, and although mysterious, everyone was very orderly, did not move around freely, and occasionally chanted strange scriptures.
Glenn, who was listening from the sidelines at this time, couldn't help but speak anymore, "Lord Rogson, presumably this group of mysterious people must be the culprits of the kidnapping of the girls, let's set off immediately, presumably these guys want to smuggle out of the abandoned Winster Harbor to the sea......"
A veteran bounty hunter on the side interrupted, "First of all, according to their whereabouts, we can be sure that these sneaky guys must want to smuggle the girls out to sea, but the port of Hattis, ten kilometers from the port of Winster, has a boat that can carry 200 people, so why go to the small fishing port of Winster, which has only a dozen small fishing boats." ”
"Lord Rogson......" Glenn, who looked anxious at this time, wanted to argue about something.
Rogson suddenly interrupted, "Based on my years of experience, we should divide into two routes, Green led 30 bounty hunters with all horses to track down that group of mysterious people, and I personally led the rest of the men to the port of Hattis, and if there is no objection, everyone will set off immediately......"
【Digression】
In the continent of Klendia, the children of the nobility had a greater chance of inheriting the property of their fathers or ancestors only if they became knights or priests of the church;
If the legal heirs become merchants or adventurers, they are likely to lose their inheritance rights;
Unless it is the only child of a nobleman, of course, many declining nobles have nothing but a noble title, or even owe a huge debt to leave a descendant, except for those who value the title of nobility very much, they will hardly fight for it, and money is the driving force for almost everyone to fight in the continent of Klendia.
