Chapter 377: Talas City
Paladin Zhang Hao is hiding in a city of human natives. {.}
The city once belonged to a principality, but because of its remote desert location, it was lucky enough to escape the purge of the Goddess of Magic's army, and became one of the few surviving cities in the region.
Today, this small city called the city of Taras is crowded with nearly 300,000 people, many of whom are strong enough to reach the liquefaction level or above.
Zhang Hao hid here, on the one hand, to hide his tracks with the help of the humans here, and on the other hand, to deal with the allies of the Kosmos Cult who were also hiding here.
Correya has always been a major partner in the export of goods from the Kosmos God Cult, and in the eyes of Zhang Hao and other elite Chosen Ones, the beautiful and elegant Count Correya has Lin Tian's relationship in it.
Therefore, after Zhang Hao arrived in Talas City and placed a watchtower in the basement as a fixed marker, he secretly approached the location of Kreya.
Count of Perrin Crea, thanks to the news from the Kosmos Cult in advance, she was able to bring her cronies to the city and buy nearly a hundred houses as a stronghold.
Because of the full preparation, the supplies are sufficient, and the girl is not a simple character, under a series of horizontal measures, Correya not only relied on this turmoil to attract hundreds of good players to serve his chamber of commerce, but also established a relationship with two local giants in the city, and was recognized by the city lord.
But after all, the business time is too short, and under the seemingly calm surface, the dark tide is surging.
When Zhang Hao came over, he noticed that there were strong people talking secretly in the nearby lane, he put on an invisibility cloak, quietly lurked over, and heard the other party's whispering.
"Lao Wan, don't fool your brother, this Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is a force that the city lord also nods and approves, do you really dare to make a move?"
In the alleyway, a bald man in a gray cloak, described as emaciated, hunched his back and hesitated.
"Hmph, don't worry, our boss has said that in this battle, no one in Talas City will help that earl, hmph, her motherland is afraid that it will be destroyed long ago, and that noble title is not as valuable as a cart of bread!"
"Your Shadow Alliance only needs to take the lead and give us a reason, and the rest is for us to go. Standing in front of the man in the gray cloak was a blue-haired man with a hooked nose, this man looked quite vicious, and a pair of slender palms showed a faint white light: "In this operation, not only our Perth family, but also the William family, Luo Kai's family and the sea sand mercenary group will take action!"
"And if the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has a Sage to suppress the formation, there will also be a Sage of the Batu family on our side who will be responsible for containment. The hook-nosed man said triumphantly, as if intending to strengthen the confidence of the gray-cloaked man.
"The Batu family, isn't that a big local family?" the man in the gray cloak was surprised: "They...... Isn't it better to be with the Count of Cleja?"
"How good is it to have food?" said the hook-nosed man disdainfully, "Let me tell you the truth, the upper echelons of Talas City are planning to establish themselves as a nation." ”
"Self-reliance...... For the country!"
"That's right, so there is a special need for a lot of food and luxury goods to attract the strong people in the human camps from all over the world, but you have also seen it, this Talas City, not to mention the large residential area seized by the foreign Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the warehouse in the Chamber of Commerce is also rumored to have a large amount of food and all kinds of supplies!"
"I see. When the man in the gray cloak heard that the city of Talas was going to establish a state, he made up his mind and was ready to take his brothers with him.
And when Zhang Hao heard this, he rolled his eyes wildly, these natives, don't they have a broadened horizon? At this time, they actually plan to establish a country, even if they don't attract the attention of the Magic Goddess Legion, such a target will attract the attention of other alien forces.
"Alas, you can't blame them, who let these guys not know the allusion of building a high wall and slowly becoming king?"
Zhang Hao quietly left, and then put on makeup and became a civilian, and followed behind the man in the cloak.
Just when Zhang Hao squinted his eyes, suddenly, he felt Lin Tian's connection.
"Your Highness?"
"Well...... I see where you are now. Lin Tian said, "You are a good place there, although it is located in the desert, it also avoids the main army and orcs of those god's spokesmen. ”
"Your Highness is planning to open the space-time gate here?" Zhang Hao asked with a little excitement.
"Hmm. Lin Tian nodded and said, "How sure are you in controlling the situation in this city before the first batch of Chosen ones come?"
"I don't want too many people to die, these indigenous people are qualified laborers. Lin Tian asked.
Zhang Hao said: "If the other party doesn't have a legend, I don't think it's a big problem." ”
"I have platinum-level equipment, and with the cooperation of Earl Crayya, it is still possible to suppress these local forces, and when the gate of time and space is successfully opened, His Highness will appear, hehe, this city will be captured immediately." ”
"And, Your Highness, there's a good show to watch now. ”
Zhang Hao said, his eyes looked at the gate of the main mansion of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
There, an old couple from nowhere, supported by a group of big men, ran over and began to cry and make a fuss.
"Roman, the big butler of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, get out of here!"
"yes, Roman, you brute, get out of here!"
"In broad daylight, you actually raped and killed the daughter of my good citizen of Talas City, don't you really think that with the protection of the Chamber of Commerce, you can escape the law of the country?"
"That's right, you Chamber of Commerce lackeys, get out of the way and hand over that brute!"
A large group of people shouted slogans at the door, and a few hot-blooded young people rushed to the front, which made the guards of the Chamber of Commerce guarding the door quite stressful.
Although these guards are loyal to the Chamber of Commerce, they also know that they are all outsiders, and their families and countries have fallen, and this may be their only stronghold.
It's not that these cloaked men didn't kill people, it's not that they are kind, but these guys are originally engaged in human trafficking, these guards are average, but they are strong, and when they are dragged back, they can still earn a fortune as slaves.
"What's going on!"
Seeing that the crowd was about to hit the gate, the wooden mahogany gate opened first, and Roman, a great butler dressed in knight's armor, strode towards with more than a dozen iron-clad swordsmen.
"Who said that I Roman raped and killed the girl!" Roman, the armored knight, said in a loud voice, and for a moment the surging flow of people stopped, and had to retreat as the ironclad swordsmen stepped in unison.
"You, you wicked man, you are burned to ashes, and I know you!"
"That's right, you big wicked man still want to be strong, do you still want to kill people in the street?"
Several big men agitated, and immediately a young and handsome swordsman jumped up from the crowd and shouted, "Taras City, how can you tolerate such a wicked person!"
"Wicked?"
The great butler Roman is a butler hired by the Earl of Claire from the imperial capital with a high salary, and he originally felt that it was useless to go to the earl's house of a kingdom, but later he was quite lucky, if it wasn't for the foresight of the master he followed, I am afraid that he would have been killed by those monsters who don't know where they came from.
Therefore, the big butler Roman realized almost immediately that something was wrong, this was someone targeting him, no, no!
This is clearly a force using him as a springboard to deal with the entire Chamber of Commerce!
But what can I do?
Roman, the butler, was about to ask one of his men to report the news, when he saw a white light piercing him.
"Liquefaction high-level master!"
Seeing the young man's sword light, the big butler Roman's face changed, and he had to raise his scimitar to resist.
"Bang!"
After a hammer fell to the ground, the butler Roman fell into the courtyard with a pale face, and a mouthful of blood spurted into his mouth.
And the young swordsman, but he was not happy, the blow he had just hit was obviously nine out of ten, not only did he not kill the other party, but the sword in his hand was cut off by the opponent's inconspicuous scimitar.
"Formation, protect the big butler!"
The ironclad swordsmen were also well-trained, worthy of Ficrea's usual high salary, these swordsmen were equipped with bronze-level equipment and silver-level weapons, and after they surrounded the great butler Roman, one of them helped Roman up, and then retreated inward.
In the crowd, a group of gray-robed men took the lead and jumped into the mansion one after another, and then a group of big men agitated the morale of the crowd, so a large number of onlookers and civilians actually stupidly followed the big men and rushed in.
Zhang Hao could see clearly that many ordinary people were not really provoked, but showed a sense of greed, probably planning to take this opportunity to snatch something and carry forward their fine tradition of taking advantage of fire to rob since ancient times.
"Earl, no!"
Craya was in the hall talking to more than a dozen stewards about her future development plans, and when she heard the call of her subordinates, her delicate face wrinkled slightly, and then she quickly called someone to ask about the situation.
"Instigated?" Creya whispered, and then looked at the second butler beside him: "The new group of people who joined us, is there any change?"
The second housekeeper said in a low voice: "It's all in the Eastern District, I don't know it yet." ”
At this moment, the second housekeeper's ears moved slightly, his face suddenly changed a few times, and he whispered: "Just now, the secret agent reported that there was a riot in the Eastern District, and a group of new guards suddenly broke out, killed the instructor, and were encouraging others to set fire to and rob." ”
"Sure enough, it was planned. Craya whispered, "Is this Talas City really not able to accommodate our Chamber of Commerce?"
"It's the Lord of Taras that we think highly of. Several stewards shook their heads and smiled bitterly: "They can't even see the future potential of our Chamber of Commerce, and only care about this little interest in front of them, alas, Earl, what should we do now?"
"Gather good hands and kill them first. The second steward said with a bitter face: "It's a pity, the materials in Talas City can't be recovered." ”
"Ahem. ”
Just when Craya and the others sighed lightly and had to accept the loss, a light cough woke them up and looked at the source of the sound.
At the gate, Zhang Hao lifted his cloak to reveal his figure, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Zhang Hao, the Chosen One of the Order God Sect, has seen the beautiful Count Cleraya. ”
"Is it you?" Craya couldn't help but be happy when she saw Zhang Hao: "You're here, then...... He's here?"
"Your Highness will be there soon. Zhang Hao said with a straight face: "But now, we need to deal with those uninteresting enemies." ”
Zhang Hao said: "Count Crayya, I need your trust, Your Highness wants Talas City." ”
"No problem!" Claire nodded without hesitation, and she said, "I'll let them all do what you say." ”
The stewards were slightly stunned, but no one questioned it, they had all been in contact with the Kosmos Cult, and they had long been impressed by the items of the Kosmos Cult, coupled with the embarrassing status of the Chamber of Commerce now, they had long been eager to have a big tree in their hearts to give them shade.
"Thank you!" Zhang Hao nodded in thanks, and immediately said, "Then let's ...... Let's start fighting back!".
