Old man Du's news was really well-informed, and within a few days, the atmosphere in Qiyan City changed suddenly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The caravans that had been pouring in gradually disappeared, and the number of city guards at the city gate suddenly increased several times, and a curfew began to be imposed in the city. A large number of civilians from outside the city moved into the city with their families. The streets and alleys were plastered with conscription notices, and the soldiers' salaries rose again and again. There is a situation where the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.

On this day, the City Lord's Mansion issued a notice again, inviting civil powerhouses and adventurers to assist in the defense of Qiyan City. And also offered a high salary. Of course, these are nothing to Mark, what he cares about is the drastic changes in the living environment brought to him by the war.

According to Old Man Du's description that day, this war was actually a peasant uprising in disguise from beginning to end. The reason lies in Haiyin City.

Haiyin City is located in the south of Strange Rock City, close to the Floran Strait, and the lord of the city is a complete tyrant, who has joined forces with the nobles of all classes below to frantically exploit the lower classes of commoners and merchants, and lives a drunken life of dreams. As a result, the entire kingdom is full of complaints, and it has long lost the hearts of the people.

Last year, a mysterious group of armed forces suddenly crossed from across the Flolan Strait, and the number was small, only about 100 people. The leader was a powerful great fighter named Sidon.

When they first arrived in Haiyin City, the nobles did not pay attention to their scarred and pitiful appearance, which should have been defeated on the other side of the strait and forced to flee here.

But he didn't want to wait for them to rest for more than half a month, and after recovering their energy, they actually launched an uprising with the momentum of thunder, leading the civilians of Haiyin City, who had long been unbearable, to kill nobles and big merchants, and distribute wealth and land. This move was immediately welcomed by the vast majority of the civilians of Haiyin City, and they also took the opportunity to raise a large number of troops.

After this Sidon took Haiyin City, he still did not give up, and conquered the city in half a year, and captured seventeen cities in one go, and had great ambitions to unify this area.

During the battle, the nobles found that these defeated soldiers from the other side of the strait were all fearless of death, super combat power, and had very rich experience in fighting magicians, which was very different from ordinary fighters.

However, by the time they realized it, it was too late. Sidon's army has reached the city of Strange Rock.

As the most powerful city within a radius of thousands of miles in the vicinity, once it falls, it means that this city within a radius of thousands of miles will be in Sidon's pocket. As a result, many cities sent magicians and elite soldiers to participate in the battle, hoping to rely on the powerful force of Qiyan City to defeat the Sidon army in one fell swoop. Curb the momentum of its expansion.

On this day, Pami, who was supposed to come to the store early in the morning to help, arrived late at noon, and in addition to Mark, there was only one old man Du who was enjoying a delicious meal.

Not to mention, other wealthy merchants, landlords, and even nobles are thinking about how to transfer assets as soon as possible and send the outstanding children of the family out to avoid the burden of war, but this old man Du doesn't care at all for some reason, how to do it in normal times, and the rules of life have never changed because of this.

"Master, my friend Dagang came to see me today, he was already a member of the city guard six years ago. He came to persuade me to contribute to Strange Rock City. Pami looked up at Mark, her eyes full of determination and seriousness, it was clear that she had not come to ask Mark for advice, but only to inform him.

Mark didn't say much, for the disciples, he could teach the skills, but he never helped the disciples make decisions, the road was all made by themselves, not by him, the master, for them.

"Did your mother agree?" asked Mark.

"She didn't say anything, just let me ask you what you mean. ”

"Well-" Mark nodded, and he knew very well what Mrs. Ancy meant, that is, let his daughter ask him if Pami had the confidence to participate in this war.

"After so many years of study, there is no doubt about your strength. Even if there is no war, I will let you go out to practice, but now you are not familiar with some combat techniques, and I have some special things to teach you. In this way, from today onwards, you will live in the store, and you will be trained for half a month, and after half a month, where will you go, I will not stop you again!How about it?"

"Half a month?" Pami frowned, a little hesitant, "But according to Dagang, the battle will break out in three days at the latest!"

"Hahahaha-" Mark laughed, "Then you're underestimating Strange Rock City." The walls of Qiyan City are thick, the soldiers are well-trained, and they can be called elite, and there are senior and medium-level magicians like Moshakula, and there are as many as three low-level magicians below, plus more than ten fighters, not to mention half a month, even if it is half a year, I don't think it's strange. ”

Hearing Mark's words, Pami breathed a sigh of relief, a bright smile gradually appeared on his face, and he turned to the side and said:

"Then I'll go back and inform my mother first, I won't go back for half a month!"

As soon as Pami finished speaking, the man had already run out of the door. Old man Du, who had been sitting at the dining table, turned around at this time, with his signature lewd smile on his face, and leaned in front of Mark in a smug manner:

"I mean, Mark boy, what are you talking about special training? Can you show me then?"

"No!" Mark refused quietly.

Old man Du was not angry, his eyes rolled around, and he suddenly laughed "hey, hey, hey". Then I looked at Mark's eyes again, full of ambiguity and "I understand" meaning.

"What are your dirty thoughts this time?!" Mark asked, rubbing his eyebrows.

"Ten years ago, you came to peek at little Parmina taking a bath, but you came late and only saw Annesy. Now that I've endured it for 10 years, I've finally been able to get what I want!

"Damn!" Even if Mark's mood was calm, his eyes widened when he heard Old Man Du's exaggerated brain. Fortunately, there is no one else in this shop, otherwise no matter whether what Old Man Du said is true or not, his reputation as a good old man on this street will stink.

"Hehe--, look at your surprised appearance, I'm even more sure! Don't be afraid, I won't say it! Help you keep it secret! I will definitely help you keep it secret!" As he spoke, he looked vigilantly at Mark's expression on the verge of rage, and Old Man Du moved towards the door of the store step by step.

It wasn't until Old Man Du disappeared for a while that Mark's angry face was gradually replaced by a smile.

This old man is really a superb, the leap of thinking, the strangeness of his thoughts cannot be described by ordinary people. However, over the years, Mark has gradually figured out his character, if he is not angry in that situation just now, the old man will feel disappointed, the more angry he is, the more excited and exciting the old man will be.
