The kingdom of Zaran has a long history, but it has never been a great power, and the recent successive defeats and the death of the king have plunged the land into unprecedented chaos.

Changle stopped to rest in a large city, called "Tessfield", located on the north-south traffic artery, which should have been prosperous and rich, but the result was a chaotic post-apocalyptic scene.

Because the power to maintain order is weak, law and order will be chaotic, and once the bad guys are unscrupulous, the good people will not dare to go out, and even the street vendors that are common in towns and cities will be gone.

The streets were filled with either local bullies or refugees from the surrounding villages, who thought that the city walls could provide shelter, but the soldiers defending the city did not know where to go, and they also became "fat sheep" who were bullied and plundered.

Due to the fact that the situation is not peaceful, most of the merchants pull the door panel to stop business, which in turn promotes looting and stealing, "you don't sell, Lao Tzu has to rob", since the law is invalid, the only common truth is fist.

Despite this, the mantis monster "Big Knife" and the split-toothed leopard "Lao Hei" still stood at the door of the tavern, not enough to see the street scene, and their mouths were full of admiration.

Both of these goods have just had a human form, the former is in contact with human society for the first time, and the latter has been in Paradise Town for a long time, but he is only bored in the untouchable camp outside the city, and today is also the first time to see the prosperity of the city, so everything is fresh.

As for the conflicts that occur between humans from time to time, in the eyes of the fierce beasts who believe in "the law of the jungle", they are simply gentle and drizzle, and they are not worth mentioning.

When a beautiful girl returned from drawing water, and passed by the front door of the tavern, the two "men" stared at each other and exclaimed in a low voice.

The girl was in a hurry, her expression was vigilant, and then she was locked by these two pairs of eyes, and she was even more frightened, and she hastened her pace and fled.

The two guys didn't care, still smiling.

"What a beautiful girl, I'm in love with her!" Dadao clasped his hands on his chest and stared at him stupidly.

"That's right, the skin is white and tender, the meat is delicate, it must be delicious!" Lao Hei praised with drooling.

Chang Le sat in the tavern, very speechless to the two people at the door.

Dadao doesn't know what "love" is at all, but he has been lonely for too long, and he wants to learn from human beings to marry a wife, but he may not understand what the functions of his wife are.

Lao Hei's comment on the girl's meat quality is more reliable, and it should belong to the experience of industry insiders, but it is far less beaten than a big knife!

But Changle couldn't take care of them, because Webber was arguing with the tavernkeeper.

The young master of the Duke has eaten all the food from snacks, how have he ever seen such a terrible meal in front of him?

Even if the situation is bad, the materials are not complete, and the chef is pulled away by the conscription, at least the salt and sugar should not be confused, and the cured meat should be cleaned and the maggots should be served clean!

The tavern owner looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, he loves to eat, he doesn't like to eat, don't forget to check out, even if he doesn't check out, he can't beat you anyway, everything is please.

Weber was so angry that he slapped the table, Chang Le and Yan Yuese persuaded him to no avail, and he couldn't help but slap the table hard, which scared him to shut up.

In fact, there is a wealth of food in the Changle Beast Soul space, and the reason why I went to the tavern to eat is to inquire about the current situation in the Zaran Kingdom.

He took out a gold coin and threw it to the boss, smiling and reassuring him not to be afraid, he was not a bad person in his profession.

The price of the whole meal was only a few silver coins, and when the boss got the gold coins, his expression immediately relaxed, but he was not very happy, and only sighed lightly:

"You have swords, I thought it was a robber who came to eat white food, I apologize for the attitude just now, but unfortunately in this world, what is the use of money? ”

"Why? Zaran is so messed up? Where are the city defenses? What is the lord doing?"

Chang Le asked a series of questions, but at the same time, he took out a crying child from the beast soul space.

The baby that appeared out of thin air startled the boss, and he looked up and down at Chang Le, unable to guess where he had hidden the child.

The crying child is Le Qi, the untouchable orphan rescued by Chang Le in Ghost Cry Mountain, and later handed over to Rui Qi, who had just lost her son, to be raised by Rui Qi, who took a word from Chang Le and her name and named it "Le Qi".

Le Qi is now one year old, but she has not yet been weaned, since Chang Le has taken Ruiqi, the adjutant, out, he has to let the child stay in the beast soul space to accompany him, so that he can take care of it at any time.

At this moment, the baby was crying so much that Chang Le could sense the sound in the space, and was upset by the noise, so he had to be hugged out in front of outsiders and let Ruiqi coax him.

In fact, it's not about "coaxing", the baby has to eat seven or eight meals a day, and even if he is not hungry, Ruiqi has experienced the pain of losing a child, and he dotes on the child very much, and feeds him when he cries, and now he immediately undresses and turns his back to give the baby a meal.

The boss shook his head:

"I said, where did you come from, and where are you going? There are two beautiful women among the six people, and they have such a young child, and they are not afraid of accidents?"

"I took my wife and children to visit relatives in Tarania, and I had bodyguards by my side, so I was not afraid. Chang Le smiled and continued to ask, "What happened to Zaran?"

Ruiqi heard Changle describe them as "wives and children", her face turned red, and the nineteen-year-old widow quietly glanced at her with affection, and smiled and bowed her head to kiss the baby.

Chang Le somehow, his heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but think crankily, "If they are really my wife and children......"

The boss shook his head and sighed, explaining what had happened to Zaran recently.

First, the whole country went on an expedition, and the 100,000-strong army was lost in Haviland, and hundreds of nobles and nobles were killed, and then the source of darkness in the south broke out, and the king led the last 30,000 elite soldiers to die on the battlefield.

Then the dragons were leaderless, coupled with the emptiness of force, and the whole country was scattered.

The prince had just ascended the throne with the support of the Fishermen, but there were doubts about his legitimacy, because it is said that the former king had privately expressed his desire for the queen to be the first in line to the throne, and some people in the "later party" secretly plotted to rebel and seize the throne.

Similarly, there are too many nobles killed in battle, and there are also inheritance problems among local lords, and the original primogeniture system, which was not touchable, has been challenged by various powerful factions when the royal family itself has fallen into chaos and the whole country has lost order and law.

Such was the case with the local lord, Earl Brown, who coveted the "Eastern Domain" of Fisher's Elio Concession, raised a large army to participate in the Eastern Crusade, and finally died at the Battle of Cessnek, leaving the family divided into two factions, from quarrels to the use of force, and finally each pulled a team of thousands of people to fight.

The winner was still the eldest son, and the younger brother was defeated and exiled, but the family's manpower and material resources were exhausted, and now even the city was unguarded, and could only shrink within the high walls of the city lord's mansion, and no soldiers were sent out at all, except for tax collection.

The only armed force left here was the Fisher Expeditionary Force, which had come under the banner of "fighting the source of darkness", and did not leave until they arrived in Zaran, taking advantage of the weakness of the lords everywhere, and quickly took control of transportation and taxes.

However, Fisher's army is limited in number, and there is not a single soldier stationed in Tessfield, and it will only regularly inspect the surrounding cities, and the purpose of the inspection is not to maintain law and order, but more like a ruffian who comes to collect "protection money", and the lords can maintain their position under the sword of Fisher as long as they obediently cooperate.

For the rest of the day, the vast countryside and bustling markets were full of bandits, and armed fights continued to break out, and people were often strewn in the streets.

Ordinary people have to be cautious, do not confirm the safety and dare not go out, in fact, locking the door is just a psychological comfort, robbers want to enter the house, just kick hard.

The owner's tavern, which used to be a thriving business, is now deserted most of the time, and the chef and his men have been forcibly conscripted, and their fate is unknown.

Now the kitchen is helping to cook his 60-year-old mother, who has bad eyes, so the sugar and salt are not clear, and the maggots in the meat are not clean, which is difficult to avoid.

Originally, there were a few drinking girls in the store who often came, most of them laughed and didn't sell themselves, just drinking and chatting with customers to earn a few tips, but recently they were tied by Fei Xueren rope, and they were "requisitioned", and the encounter they faced in the army can be imagined.

At the end, the boss shook his head and sighed:

"Fisher's army and the robbers, in fact, are the same thing, just staring at two kinds of targets, beauty and wealth, sir, you have both, it's too dangerous! Your bodyguard, just the big man with two knives at the door? How many can he fight at a time? The robbers won't tell you one-on-one fairness!"

How many can the big knife hit? Chang Le really doesn't know, the caretaker of the gate of hell, the human-faced white-boned mantis that can be called a "killing machine", I am afraid that the enemy will be scared when it shows its original form, so there is no need to fight.

At this moment, the sound of hurried horses' hooves was suddenly heard outside, and a scream of surprise immediately rang out in the street.

The boss's expression changed:

"They are on horseback, most of them are Fisher's army, robbing money and women like robbers, you better go to my cellar to hide!"

Before the words fell, he ran away first, and before leaving, he didn't forget to take the money box with him.

Webb, across the table, began to laugh evilly:

"Sir, beware of your beauty and wealth. ”

Chang Le turned to Ruiqi, who had no combat effectiveness:

"You should have taken the child to hide. ”

Ricky smiled calmly, without a panicked look, of course she would not be afraid to follow Chang Le's side.

Agnes' face was full of pretended sourness:

"She's your wife, what about me, who am I? I'm also a beauty, why don't you hide?"

Chang Le laughed:

"Sister, who are you? You are the master of the Death Swamp, a fifth-order high-ranking demonic beast, and the top powerhouse in the Eastern Continent, who dares to bully you, it is really too bad. ”

But not everyone can see the true strength of the "weak", and naturally there will always be people who don't know what to do.

With the chaos in the streets, the beautiful girl who drew water at first ran back down the street, apparently meeting Fisher before she got home, so she had to throw the crockpot and turn around and run away, shouting and shouting for help as she ran.

Listen carefully, but what she shouted was not "help", but "coming", like some high-ranking official calling his subordinates.

But the girl's exposed ragged clothes proved that she should be just a poor girl.

Two legs naturally can't run four legs, Fei Xueren's armor is bright, and the horse is whistling, and he is about to surround the beautiful girl, and at this moment, the big knife jumps out and hugs the girl hard.

He went to save people, but his actions were a little rough and his lines were a little reckless:

"Girl, I'll protect you!

Dadao firmly remembered what Chang Le said, "If you love a woman, you must protect her", but unfortunately the expression is still too strange.

So the girl screamed:

"You're insane!

At the same time, she slammed her knee into the vital point under the belly of the broadsword, taking advantage of the latter's stunned freeze to escape.

This girl dares to walk alone on the street, of course, she will not be as weak as she looks, but she has the fighting spirit of a junior monk, as well as steady, accurate, and ruthless fighting skills.

However, the monk and the war sect, that is the gap between ants and dragons, can beat the big knife to the point of incapability, relying on the viciousness of the girl's moves, and the unsuspecting of the recruiter.

The mantis monster's face turned pale, and he snorted in pain as he slumped his body.

As an invincible hell monster, a powerful creature that can talk and laugh freely with a sharp sword through its chest, just because it has just turned into a human form, it doesn't know that there are such vital points under its body, and it suffers a big loss in a hurry!

This girl is also some kind of "I don't know what to do", without saying a word, she killed the righteous and brave first, Chang Le couldn't help laughing.

However, the Fisher soldiers had already surrounded her, and the girl deftly slipped under the belly of one of the horses, trying to escape from the alley, but was grabbed by the collar by the other and lifted into the air.

The leader laughed:

"This girl is beautiful and fresh, she has something to do at night!"

Seeing this, Chang Le suddenly got up and ordered:

"Big knife, what's the fuss, get her back!"
