Chapter 435: Entering the City
No matter what civilization or plane, whether modern or ancient, there is one characteristic that it is inevitable that most of the wealth of society will always be dominated by a small number of people! [No pop-up novel network]
The situation in Baishan City seems to be very tense, in fact, most of the contradictions in human society are caused by the uneven distribution of interests, with the help of the great magician Mike, the Glory Mercenary Group has seized the management of Baishan City, re-established its position, and firmly controlled the three large granaries of Baishan City.
The world is in turmoil, and undead creatures are wreaking havoc everywhere, which is not only a crisis, but also a rare opportunity, many people can see this, but some of them are too unlucky to hang up early, and some people have limited capital and are unable to show their strength. Of course, Anthony can see the situation clearly, but unfortunately Baishan City and Wind and Rain Castle are completely different, Baishan City originally had a population of 16 or 70,000, when the city was surrounded by undead creatures, the people who fled into the city, plus the total number of aborigines, had exceeded 300,000, and the family did not know that firewood and rice were expensive, which was a huge burden, and the trade routes had been cut off, and there was no way to replenish it.
As early as 20 days ago, Anthony had already announced that he would run out of food, in fact, there was still a lot of food and grass, but Anthony had to ensure that the mercenaries of the Glory Mercenary Group and Mike's soldiers and horses were well fed and warmly clothed, and as for the others, they could only be sorry.
But the mercenaries of the other mercenary groups are not stupid, seeing the mercenaries of the Glory Mercenary Group jumping around one by one, they have already understood that Anthony must be playing tricks, and the resentment is accumulating more and more, and finally several large-scale conflicts have broken out, but under the joint suppression of Anthony and Mike, the mercenaries who made a rebellion have been eliminated, and the Glory mercenaries still control the entire city.
It is not good to say whether it is right or wrong to exchange bloody means for stability, but there is an inevitable consequence. Anthony's reputation was greatly affected, so after learning the news that the undead creatures had retreated, the mercenaries immediately dispersed, and no one was willing to stay in White Mountain City except for those who were close to the Glory Mercenary Group. Anthony could only cry out in vain, he could suppress the riots and stabilize the order, but he could not force the mercenaries to stay.
By night, An Fei and Suzanne had sneaked into the city from the northwest corner of White Mountain City. Originally, An Fei wanted to go into the city in a carriage with Susanna, because Susanna's appearance was likely to attract the attention of others, but after talking with El Langa and the others, he realized that the carriage was more likely to attract the attention of others, and could even be attacked, and the city was full of hungry people who were blue eyed, and they didn't have much reason anymore.
"What's wrong with you?" Suzanne sensed that something was wrong with Anfei. asked in a low voice.
"Nothing. An Fei shook his head, a thoughtful look on his face. With the continuous improvement of his status, some of the concepts he had formed before were quietly changing, and the Wind and Rain Castle was undoubtedly orderly, so the people there lived relatively peacefully, while Baishan City became a representative of chaos.
He had just released his spiritual power and used his induction to observe the entire city. Who knew that he saw a lot of things that he didn't want to see. In the alley two hundred meters ahead, two mercenaries wielded long swords and excitedly chased and slashed a mouse. It seemed that their strength was very poor, and they couldn't even cut the rat for a long time, and the mercenary in front of him finally stabbed the mouse, but just as he excitedly picked up the mouse, a bright blade came out of his chest. The current White Mountain City is no longer White Mountain City, and the environment here is more cruel than the Death Forest, not to mention that one mouse is not enough for two people to eat the land.
Happened. A patrol of the Glory Mercenary Regiment walked along the alley, and walked to the front ground, and the two mercenaries saw this scene and drew their weapons and were about to rush up, but they were stopped by the small leader behind. The little leader waved his hand impatiently. Motioned for the patrol to move on. As long as it's not a gang that causes bloody conflicts, or is an attempt to challenge the authority of the Glory Mercenary Regiment. He just turned a blind eye, and he didn't bother to take care of such trivial things.
The mercenary who had killed his companion was frightened when he saw a patrol passing by, and clung to the dead mouse and rubbed a few steps back, then turned around and fled into the depths of the alley, and the mercenaries of the patrol became blind and swaggered past the corpse, and then turned into another alley, and when everything became quiet, a thin little wild dog came out of nowhere, sniffed at the corpse, and suddenly opened its sharp teeth and tore at the corpse.
In fact, the chicken dog in Baishan City has been almost killed, this little wild dog should be the luckiest one, but its luck stopped abruptly today, in the sharp whistling sound, a jet-black arrow shot straight into the neck of the little wild dog, the little wild dog didn't even have time to scream, and fell to the ground. A few maids followed
The soldier rushed over in the shadows, grabbed the little wild dog's hind legs, picked him up, shook it, and grinned smugly. The mercenaries in the back stared blankly at the corpses on the ground, and it took a long time to look away, and now they were not too hungry, and they shot a wild dog to death, so they still had enough sanity, if they were hungry for a few more days, they didn't know if they would treat the corpses on the ground as food, and this thought made them feel shocked, frightened, and disgusted.
After the patrol turned into another alley, it was met by more than a dozen girls in their twenties, in this difficult and cruel environment, men would choose to use violence to protect themselves, while women could only exchange their bodies, no one had to laugh at anyone, after all, survival is the most important thing, and many times shame is not so difficult to overcome. The little leader suddenly saw a rather delicate face, and his heart moved, hooked his fingers, called the other party to him, and put his hand into the girl's clothes in front of everyone. But he didn't feel the softness he imagined, but instead touched a few hard ribs, hungry for so long, the softness that belonged to women had long been absorbed by the body as energy. The little leader looked disgusted, and then rudely pushed the girl out. The girl was a little unwilling, laughed with her, and came back, and the little leader was furious, grabbed the girl's head, kicked the girl in the chest and abdomen several times, and finally kicked the girl to the ground.
"Let's go. An Fei said in a deep voice. He had tried to avoid the attention of others, but now it seemed very difficult to do so, in his senses, the streets and alleys were full of scurrying figures, crime and misery were constantly staged, and more people became indifferent spectators, they could not even see their own hopes, and of course they had no leisure to save others.
But the patrol of the Glory Mercenary Regiment still had to avoid unnecessary trouble, and An Fei and Susanna walked quickly and slowly in the alley, but fortunately today it was cloudy, and the moonlight and starlight were covered by clouds, and Susanna did not attract anyone's attention, and finally An Fei stopped in front of a shop.
Stretching out his fingers, now that An Fei didn't need to use any tools, on the other side of the door, the wind element had condensed, dragged the latch of the door outward, and as soon as he pulled the door outward, a crack was revealed, and then An Fei pushed the door open and walked in.
A man dressed as a guy in the store jumped up and stared at An Fei with an alert gaze: "The two of you are ......"
"I was a bard who came from Miracle Island. An Fei closed the door as he spoke.
"Miracle Island, that's the source of the flying dragons, you must have seen the golden dragon, right?" the guy laughed.
"I didn't see the golden dragon, but I saw the three-legged green dragon. ”
"It's nothing, I've seen a five-legged green dragon. The guy breathed a sigh of relief.
An Fei took out something from the spatial ring and threw it over: "Is there a way for you to find other people?"
"Now......" The guy hesitated for a moment, but his face immediately changed after seeing the letter card in his hand: "It turns out that you are Lord An Fei! ”
"It's good that there's no one in the basement in the back, right?"
"Nope. ”
"You go and open the basement first, we'll be waiting for you there. ”
"It's my lord. The guy pushed open the back door and bowed, "Please go this way." ”
Anfei and Suzanne slowly followed the fellow, through a corridor, and in front of it was a stable, in fact, Anfei had been here once, but there were a few horses in the stable last time, but now there was nothing, only a pile of weeds to cover the entrance to the basement.
"You don't have to worry about the entrance, go find someone. An Fei said softly, there is a flaw in his senses, if he is in a confined environment, he can't sense the movement outside, and similarly, he can't sense the changes in the confined environment outside, and only in the space where the natural breath can flow freely, he can see everything around him clearly. Although the people in front of him were all former members of Black Eleven, this was an enemy-controlled area after all, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.
"Yes. The fellow answered and hurried away.
"Doesn't Anfei have to follow him?" asked Suzanne softly.
"No, I don't. An Fei shook his head and jumped from the entrance.
"Shall we ...... What the hell are you going to do?"
"Let's do it when the opportunity comes. An Fei smiled: "These people have been trapped in the city, they know very well what kind of changes Baishan City has undergone, maybe they can give me an answer." ”
