Verse 6: Surrounded (I

Towngson's gaze was already in the distance, and in his gaze, a slave sat with his back to the mén frame.

This guy's face is like iron, only the outline of his facial features can be seen, and his expression can be said to be indifferent, wearing a wide and fluffy leather robe, and a yàn red sè hat on his head. But these are nothing, and the most striking thing is that he has a xiǎo snake wrapped around his hat...... Alive, still writhing around.

He was able-bodied on all fours, and there was not a hint of old age on his body.

"This man," Townsend asked the officer, "it doesn't seem to be disabled." ”

"He. Half a year ago, the escort fleet was rescued by pirates, belonging to a rare race, I thought it could be used, and it could indeed be used, but the habit was very bad, and if he didn't let him wear a robe and a hat, he would have to fight with us. The officer looked helpless: "Even if you lock him in a water prison, the huā on that hat can be changed seven or eight times a day...... This is a barracks, so can he do it?"

"But I like this kind of dress, it's fresh enough" Townsend was very interested: "Why don't you let it be me?"

"Take it with you if you can, and I have to thank you. The officer said, "Even here he is not welcome, that face is too scary." ”

Townsend walked over to the slave and blocked the sunlight shining on him.

The slave slowly raised his head, and Townsend finally saw his face clearly, it should still be bloody, but the skin seemed to be solidified, turning into a rock-like state, and there could be no change in expression at all - but the xiǎo snake on his hat raised its head and spit out the letter "silkly", very vicious.

"Are you happy to live here?" asked Townsend as he squatted down and asked Yan Yue.

After a long pause, the slave shook his head.

"Come with me, you can wear whatever you want, you can wear whatever you want. Townsend had a little smile on his face: "Then, help me fight, help me bully." ”

The slave looked at Townsend, his gaze still indifferent.

While Townsend waited patiently, the slave reached out and took the xiǎo snake off his hat and stuffed it into his arms, but took out a large toad and put it on his hat. Lying on his hat, the big toad immediately opened its mouth and kept opening and closing at Townsend, obviously laughing at him.

As weird as it was, though the toad might be yawning, Townsend knew it was mockery, + passion and it wasn't over yet...... Sure enough, the slave held out a finger and nodded at Townshend, and the toad laughed, and the slave's finger reached out a little more, and the toad laughed

Townsend knew in his heart, and he saw that he was easy to pass.

This slave was actually laughing at himself for not daring to show his true face, and daring to solicit people everywhere. It's funny

"You're following me, I'm here, understand?" "Since he was seen through and disguised, he couldn't let go of the slave, Townsend tapped his heart with his finger: "Follow me, you are not a slave, but my subordinates, understand?"

The toad slowly closed its mouth, but the slave sat up straighter. He thought about it for a moment, then stared at Townsend deeply and pointed to the sky.

Townsend certainly understood what he meant: "By my real name, I will treat you well—what's your name?"

The "Lubin" slave had difficulty saying a name, and his vocal cords seemed to tear.

"By my real name, I will treat Rubin well and not see Rubin as a slave. Townsend nodded to Rubin, "To you." ”

Rubin stood up, took down the toad, solemnly replaced his hat with a clay statue of Xiǎo, and swore in a sandstone-like voice. Then he quickly put the statue in his arms, and stood behind Townsend very obediently without being reminded by others.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding slaves were all relieved, as if Townsend had poached a troublemaker.

"Now," Townsend said, turning to face his nine men, "all in line"

The slaves of the swordsman battalion had been trained in some queues, and they immediately stood in a line in front of Townsend, both in terms of physique and spirit, much better than the first impression of the spearhead, it could be said that it could be said that there was a world of difference.

"I don't ask you about your past, I will only say that as long as you follow me, you will no longer be slaves but my men" Townsend reached out and untied the bronze medals around Rubin's neck, and then untied the bronze medals of the others one by one: "From now on, I will be your commander, and if you are faithful to me and obey my commands, I will treat you well - this is my promise"

"Yes, sir," replied the slaves who had untied their ID cards.

"From now on, you are nominally the members of His Royal Highness the Prince's Escort Team, directly under the Sixth Escort Brigade and the Third Xiǎo Brigade. But you actually only listen to my orders, this is my lieutenant, and if I am not there, you will listen to him. Townsend introduced one of the old team members to his subordinates: "You must remember three things, that is, listen to what I say, beat the people I want to beat, and earn the money I want to earn."

"Understood" the team members responded neatly.

If nothing else, at least they are strong enough. Come to think of it, where is a fight not a fight? And you don't have to hang a slave sign, it's not difficult at all.

After a brief lecture, Townsend walked up to the accompanying officer: "That's all, let's wait for the last spot." Trouble sir, equip them with something. ”

"It has been prepared for a long time, the city cannot be equipped with armor and swords, and the patrolling people can only wear cloth clothes and one-handed swords. The officer nodded: "Come with me, I have something to add to you." ”

After a while, the 3rd Xiǎo team came out of the swordsman camp in full dress, except for Townsend and Rubin, everyone else was in the half-worn guard uniform of Qingyi Sè, with a one-handed sword diagonally behind their backs.

Because of the peculiar looks of the players, this team looks very impressive. It's not that there are no soldiers of a special race in the Silver Sè Coastal Army, it's just that these soldiers are rare in Silver Tao City, probably because this is the capital, for fear of affecting the city's appearance and the appetite of the nobles.

The addition of the material that the officer said is worthy of the name, and the sword that is given to everyone only looks like a one-handed sword from a distance, but it has actually been lengthened and thickened, like a flattened iron rod, the handle is very long, and there is no edge anywhere else except for the tip of the sword, and to some extent it can use the big sword technique.

In fact, when you use a stick, if you smash it with a sword, you can really break your hands, your feet, and your head.

"Sir, why don't we choose enough people?" The newly promoted adjutant was very satisfied with the strength of the team, and such burly warriors could not be found in the north of Quelsa: "I think many people meet the requirements." ”

"We have to clean up the tent area, which is simply a fight with street gangs, and we can't just do it. "So the last spot can't be reserved for the charging warriors." ”

"Who's going to leave that to?"

"We also need a kobold strategist, the kind with a bad stomach. "Do you know how there are people who are literate, cunning, and familiar with the local situation but cannot find food?"

"There really is," the adjutant patted the big tui: "There are on the barren beach by the sea"

"The seaside, the barren beach?" Townsend was secretly surprised, a literate person is a treasure wherever he puts it, right?

The adjutant led the way, and the group descended from the high cliff hill, passing through the unloading docks, trading ports, and shipbuilding workshops, and finally reached a barren beach on the rocky shore. Sure enough, among those black sè reefs, there were some people lying in twos and threes, wearing rag robes that could not be seen in this sè, of all ages, they were sheltering from the wind while basking in the sun to catch lice.

"We slept here the other day. It's cold, but it's safe. These people just have a powerful mouth, and they shrug as soon as they move. The adjutant said: "I asked a few people, they are all outsiders who came to Yintao City to take the ability apprenticeship, they don't look for serious things to do when the money runs out, they are good at swaggering and cheating, their reputation is gradually deteriorating, and they can't do the homeless people by stealing Jimo dogs, and they are living a miserable life." ”

"That's what is missing," Townsend was very satisfied: "Go, find a top one"

The adjutant dared to bring Townsend here, obviously because he had suffered at the hands of some people, and it must have been unforgettable.

The right person was quickly found, a guy in his early thirties, who had been in Yintao City for more than ten years, except for a few apprenticeships in the first six months, and spent the rest of his days between the tent area and this barren beach. Because he often makes extra money in the tent area, he is often beaten to death by several large gangs of people, and in the end, he asks for a beating for these people and then extorts medical fees.

The reason why he still got the medical fee is because he is still on the exam preparation list and is under the most basic protection of the rules of the Association of Abnormal Masters.

Standing in front of Townsend, although this person was still injured on his face, and his hair fluttered like stepping on cotton, the words that came out of his mouth could scare the people to death: from the president of the Association of Abnormal Masters to the Xiǎo soldiers who guarded the city, they were all good friends with him......

For this kind of person with a mouth huāluàn pendant, brute force cracking is the most effective, and the adjutant put a dagger around his neck, and he had an epiphany.

"I don't want to investigate why you are so angry, and I don't care what you did before, I just ask you, do you have the ability to help me stir up the tent area?" Townsend looked at him with a smile: "Do things with me, you have money to take, and the bad things in the past will be written off, and I will be able to settle for you if you get into trouble in the future." ”

"Multi-...... How much money?" the other party didn't listen to anything other than money, and he asked Townsend with his tongue open.

A bag of gold coins was poured onto the reef by Townsend ......, and dozens of golden lights jumped on the black background, making a touching sound. The idlers hiding in the cracks of the stone rushed out like crazy, ignoring the force of the guards and began to fight, although the ghosts cried wolves, scratched their mouths and bitten, but they were all waste materials with only two combat effectiveness.

But this guy standing in front of Townsend, he didn't even move a finger from beginning to end.
