969 Books Duel
Silent Earth City has been out of lordship for nearly ten days, and the entire city has been overrun by the swarming battle bands. These fighting regiments were not all bandits, and at first they lived in the city, but soon found that the city was not only poorly fed and drunk, but also very crowded with shops.
As the knockout day approached, the later teams couldn't even find a place to live. Even those who were willing to work on the floor found themselves unable to get supplies from the city, and that the price of a loaf of bread could buy a basket of bread elsewhere.
The soldiers who couldn't live here at first kept to themselves. If you have no place to live, you go out of the city, and if you have nothing to eat, you hunt. Until all the hibernating animals on the outskirts of the city are hunted and some aristocratic manors are looted, the only one who can satisfy the restless warriors is the big city of the lord lord.
The battle group that fired the first shot of the invasion and occupation of Jingtu City is no longer in this world, and they successfully dealt with the lords who had little combat effectiveness, drove them out of the semi-fortress-style mansion in the city, lived in it themselves, and destroyed the family emblem in front of the mansion and hung their own regimental flag.
What they did was to lay down a rule for a lawless city, and the next day their regiment was wiped out, the flag was torn off, and the victor was replaced with a new one, which then changed hands again that afternoon.
Outside of the battle for the castle lord's mansion, all the shops in the city became the object of contention among the war groups, but the houses were rarely disturbed, which was the rule that the city developed.

Zhou Shu walked around the city, he wanted to get his northern team members together, and then go to register for a name, and then go to the suburbs to fight the guy with the scar on his face.
He didn't have any requirements for his future team members, and the northern gods were excited and alive. It is enough to meet both of the above conditions. But that being said, casually grabbing two people on the street and giving him money to join him was a last resort, and now it hasn't reached that critical juncture. It's okay to try your luck a little.
Aimlessly, he hid a street and wanted to walk deeply, and most of the people on the side of the street were ordinary residents who lived here. They were ruthlessly punished by the arrival of the war group in the city. Sell everyday items to them at a high price, or rent out your own house for these people to live in. However, even though he has an income, he is severely affected by high food prices, so he still needs to be busy with his livelihood every day.
At the entrance of almost every street stood a few young girls, dressed in thin clothes and looking haggard. It can be seen that they probably did not save enough food before the arrival of this group of locust-like warriors, so they will have to run out and use their bodies to earn a little food for survival.
It stands to reason that such a person is the most suitable for Zhou Shu to find as a teammate and be obedient. There's no threat, you can send it away if you give money, and it's a girl again. Although there are still many advantages, Zhou Shu will not choose them. He didn't lead any team, he didn't have any relevant experience. However, common sense told him that if Norapoi and Roger were to be in a team with five street ladies, they would probably be so angry that they would draw their swords and cut themselves.
"I really can't do this kind of thing. Zhou Shu looked at the smiling merchant soldiers beside him, and cast a look for help.
Noraboi was also in a dilemma, he would definitely not be able to find someone with combat effectiveness. He couldn't just get a few passers-by to make up the numbers. "This kind of thing is not urgent, if you still can't find someone on the day of the registration deadline, it's not too late to find someone to make up the number. ”
Walking and walking. The two of them walked to the city gate, found a pergola for people to rest, and sat down, waiting for the sun to set a little in the west before going to the suburbs for an appointment, and it would be a shame to go too early for such a thing as a duel.
Not long after the two of them sat down, they were drinking the contents of their kettle and staring at the street in a daze. What came into their field of vision was a large group of warriors hurrying out of the city.
"What are they doing here?" the curious Zhou Shu picked up a stone from the ground and threw it on the head of a rushing soldier, drawing the man's attention.
The soldier who was thrown at it drew his long sword at his waist very nervously, and when he saw that he was a black-haired and black-eyed foreigner, he immediately thought of the rumors about our Dao guards that were rumored on the street. Resolutely put on a smiling face.
Seeing that he was very kind, Master Zhou smiled and waved his hands. "This brother is bothering me to come here, I have something I want to ask. ”
From this man's mouth, Zhou Shu learned. These guys were all out of the city to watch the fight, but it wasn't the afternoon show for him and my Dao guards, but the noon show for the other forces in the city.
"Actually, strictly speaking, it's not a force in the city. The man had lost his resentment of being stoned, and calmly explained: "The two warring sides are the king of the outskirts of the city and the king of the city, and the cause seems to have been the explosion on the outskirts of the city yesterday morning, and the group of people who are currently living in the city lord's mansion have gone too far. ”
Zhou Shu pinched his chin and shook his head vigorously to say that he didn't understand, what suburbs and cities, what is the king or not, what does this have to do with the guy who rained gasoline from the sky yesterday?
After some conversation, a very logical situation emerged.
At present, the warbands that have gone to Jingtu City to join in the excitement are divided into two camps, the more powerful ones live in the city, and some guys who only want to see the world live in the suburbs.
After more than ten days of chemical reactions, these two areas were formed with the strongest combat fighting group as the core, forming two forces. Originally, there was no friction or contradiction between the two sides, but since everyone was about to become enemies, in fact, the battle had already begun in secret. It seems that the king of the city wants to solve the king outside the city, and yesterday caused a big explosion in the suburbs, killing many people, so the king of the city decided to stand up and challenge the crowd who were watching the excitement for those who died in vain.
Zhou Shu believes that the reason why there are still so many war groups staying in this city is that everyone did not flinch because of the strength of the competitors, and they should be holding a fluke mentality, hoping that they will compete with each other and profit from it. Fighting between teams is almost inevitable, after all, only one warband can appear in the whole city at the end, and if any seeded team finds a strong opponent, it may not have done it on the field, so it can only play honest tricks and try to solve them outside the battlefield.
Zhou Shu and Norapoi listened a little and decisively understood the situation. Nati had been listening intently to the sound coming from the phone, and she had barely figured out what was going on in the city.
The so-called king of the city refers to a warband called Luyun. Luyun is a unique word in the Tiger Country. It refers to a cloud that does not dissipate and floats in the sky forever like a traveler.
When Zhou Shu heard this word, he thought of the guy who was thundering in the city, "Does it have anything to do with the thunderclouds over there?" ”
The man he had captured shook his hand. "It's completely irrelevant, you're talking about the Tempest Band. It is a warband composed of heroes from the country of the owl next door. ”
Noraboi frowned when he heard this, "Isn't the sacred relic held by the heroes of the Owl Nation the 'Crown of Thought'?"
It was a crown carved with an eyeball carved in hollow, and Zhou Shu had no impression of this crown after listening to Elemy's story, although it was described as some kind of plot prop that could see through lies, but it had no chance to appear. Listening to Ellermy's tone, it doesn't seem like this thing will provide much combat power for the master.
The man shrugged and said he didn't know, anyway, the thundercloud was made by the Tempest Band, and they were hardly active on the battlefield. I've been protecting the main shrine of the Owl Country.,This is the first time I've gone out on a mission.。 However, they had a fight with Lu Yun a few days ago, and it was also thunder and lightning, and the winner was Lu Yun, at least they still lived in the City Lord's Mansion. As for today's opponent, the man really doesn't know, it should be a sudden contradiction, I haven't heard of who they have a fight with.
"As for the warband outside the city......"
The man said that the guy was also a hero, but much more active than the rainstorm.
Norapoi actually saw the flying man yesterday wielding his sword and yelling at someone. He speculated with an uneasy face, "Could it be the Freedom Warband?"
Zhou Shu looked disdainful when he heard this name, "This name is so vulgar, is there a 'Bright War Regiment'?"
The man and Noraboi glanced at each other. Shaking his head, he couldn't understand what the foreigner next to him was talking about.
The old man of the Freedom Regiment is the holder of the holy relic, that is, the servant of the northern god, and the possession is an armor, and the official name is simply 'holy armor', the effect is not clear, but it is said that it can fly into the sky with the owner. As an armor, invulnerability is naturally one of the selling points.
After listening to so much, Zhou Shu figured out the situation. Just when he wanted to wander out of the city, he also wanted to wander around. When I went there to see the excitement, suddenly a bang rose from the side of the city wall. Frightened, he hurriedly grabbed the man who seemed to know everything and shook it. "What's so powerful about that brigade cloud warband?"
The man shook his head from side to side while swaying back and forth passively, "I don't know." They're all foreigners, just like you. The power shown is also strange, completely clueless. ”
Mr. Zhou looked across the wall, and had the urge to fly up to the sky to find out from above, but he didn't join in the excitement because of his 'lazy' personality.
The explosion was terrifying, the boom sounded like a skyscraper had collapsed, but there wasn't much smoke and dust in the sky, much like the previous atomized gasoline explosion.
As soon as the explosion sounded, a large number of soldiers of the warband who were afraid of being injured by mistake rushed in at the city gate. These people were quite healthy, and they were excited, discussing what they had just seen, and they felt incredible about the strength of the two sides of the battle.
The man who was stopped by Zhou Shu was also curious about what was going on, so he beckoned two onlookers to come over and tell him about it, and Zhou Shu could be regarded as a ready-made one.
The two of them seemed to have never read a book in their lives, and their narration skills were terrible. From their mouths, Zhou Shu only learned that one person from each side of the battle group sprayed each other for a while like a pre-war scolding formation, and then one side didn't know what the hell was done, and the ground exploded. The other side was even more powerful, and it was unscathed.
In the end, the two gods seemed to be a little unclear about the opponent's path, and they clasped their fists and said 'the coming day is long', and then dispersed.
"So fast?!" Zhou Shu thought that the opposite side had just played the first half, but it ended directly. Later, it was not wrong to think about it, this large number of audiences entered the city again, it must be because the 'movie' ended.
In desperation, he asked the man who knew everything, if he would like to come to his team to do odd jobs, and just make up the numbers without fighting. The man shook his head with a smile, saying that he was just a fungiver, and he had no intention of joining in the fun at close range, so Zhou Shu let him go.
---
I'm too late for the guards.
Zhou Shu wandered around the city, found a time that was neither early nor late, and came to the cemetery outside the city, which looked like around three o'clock in the afternoon. As a result, he waited here for a full half hour.
This cemetery should be considered an orderly 'cemetery', although there are no grave keepers now, and it is estimated that no one has paid these small 'civil servants' after the local lords have been driven away.
It's very open and flat, with a large area of flat land that has not yet been developed into a dead man's settlement, and next door is a large uninhabited lower cemetery, which is very suitable for fighting.
After hanging out here for a long time, Zhou Shu waited for his opponent, that is, the scarface from yesterday. He originally thought that the other party might simply oversleep, but he was startled when the person appeared. This guy was not at all as polished as he had been yesterday, with a garment that was mostly charred and hung on his body like a concept dress from some fashion show. It's just that others don't have the same aura as the models on the catwalk, and the whole person seems to be holding his breath before coming here.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Shu frowned at his warring opponent with his hands behind his back, "Looking around for trouble, are you in trouble now?"
You don't have to think about it to know that these guys must be provoking everywhere again, and there is no lesson for the two of them to be killed by themselves yesterday, and now Zhou Shu sees that this guy has no younger brother by his side, and he is still embarrassed, and the possibility of the war group being destroyed is still quite large. But that's good news, without those annoying guys, just kill the one in front of you again, and the trouble will be gone. However, on the bad side, if someone can solve their troubles, I'm afraid the regional competition in this city will not be too easy.
The head of our guard tried very hard to squeeze out a little smile, and took out a very simple knife from his waist and held it across his chest. He didn't say anything, but the gesture should mean 'duel begins'.
Master Zhou looked at his miserable appearance, and he couldn't bear to chat with him, and it is estimated that people don't want to mention that sad thing. Who exactly they clashed with, these would just go back to the city and ask, anyway, those warriors are more well-informed than the other, and there is no need to listen to the first-person narration from him.
