Chapter 230: Why
The next second Luo Xue tore off the power of attorney and walked out of the mercenary association, a mercenary in the mercenary association saw the power of attorney in his hand.
The mercenary's eyebrows curled and he stopped Luo Xue.
"Wait a minute!" he said, holding out his hand and pressing it on the power of attorney on the bulletin board.
"What's the problem?"
"Of course there is a problem! Do you know what commission you received!" the mercenary said loudly to Luo Xue,
"The commission issued by the original Wucheng. Luo Xue asked rhetorically.
"You must be an earth mage from outside. The mercenary knew what Luo Xue was holding in his hand, clenched his fists and raised his head: "You would actually be willing to serve such a group of people!"
It seems that this mercenary was very unhappy that Luo Xue took this commission, and even his tone was not good. It's just that these words reached Luo Xue's ears, and she didn't understand what was going on at all.
"It seems that you really don't know anything. The mercenary was angry and pulled Luo Xue to a corner and explained to him the situation in the former Wucheng in the past ten years.
The city has gone crazy! completely disregarding its own economy, it is vigorously developing its military, and it is not even afraid of offending the mercenary association.
The original Wucheng has undergone a change of city lords in the past ten years, but the overall style has intensified. The successor lord of the city is burying his head in the line of militarization.
For inland cities, if they want to be dazzling, the first point is that their geographical environment should be good, which the original Wucheng cannot occupy at all.
A second-tier city that does not even enter the stream is bound to become a stepping stone for other cities. To get rid of this, the people of the city must build up their feats on the battlefield and create achievements. Unless it attracts the attention of the high-ranking forces of the Forest Country, it will never be able to turn over.
And the original Wucheng took this road, and it was unwilling to be taken by other cities for a hundred steps.
However, in the current view, the method of the original Wucheng is just the end of the strong crossbow, and before the end is reached, the burning nutrients will disappear.
In the last year, the two twin powerhouses cultivated by the original Wucheng were also first-class knights. They have a lot of potential to be promoted to Honorary Knights, and they didn't expect to disappear in the race for Guardian status.
"Kaleidocarpus" Lev, who has the title of national level, and Emma, "Colored Petal", are the two knights that were most valued by the original Wucheng. Lev used the unique combat skills he had inherited to turn the battle spirit into flower petals. Emma has awakened the "Colored Petals" ability, which can condense into petals made of battle qi out of thin air. The two fought side by side, making up for each other's shortcomings. In their class, none of them were their opponents, and their strength was enough to surpass the average honorary knight.
These two are the ones who disappeared in the battle for Guardian qualifications.
Nearly ten years of hard work were burned, and the original Wucheng almost collapsed. One day after losing contact with the two, until someone reported their deaths, a loud howl of grief finally came from the castle.
......
The original Wucheng is already on the verge of collapse, its voice among the nobles is getting smaller and smaller, and its only hope is to make dazzling achievements in a short period of time. In order to delay the day of being swallowed up by others, and to get more financial buffers, the fur of the beaver beast has become one of the few ways to alleviate the temporary danger.
But the mercenary had despaired of the city, and he had witnessed the former Wucheng go from a second-rate city to a city that was strong from the outside, not even as good as the third-rate.
In a heavy task entrusted by the former Wucheng, he didn't even get the promised reward. The practice of always owing on credit made the mercenaries' hearts about the original Wucheng turn into ashes.
He had suffered a lot in this area.
"No wonder you hate them so much. Luo Xue understood and said to him.
Although the mercenary's words were mixed with too much personal emotion, Luo Xue could already determine that the original Wucheng was a city that took a strong military route.
In Empty Mirror City, the mercenaries' attitude towards their hometown is diametrically opposed to that of the original Wu City.
Along the way, Luo Xue had already seen an indescribable discord in the city. This can be seen from the separation zone before the commercial and military districts.
"For the sake of you and me, who are both mercenaries, it's best not to take his commission and resist it together!" said the mercenary indignantly.
Each castle has a high degree of autonomy in the forest country, and only needs to maintain the unity of the country and defend against foreign wars, as well as pay a part of the tax, and then it is completely under its own jurisdiction.
It is also because of this that the former Wucheng has no fear, squeezes commerce, and expands its military without restrictions, just to break through the suppression of major cities, and then continue to develop.
Five years ago, the old city lord of Wucheng was found dead in his bedroom, and the murderer of the crime has not been caught until now. However, it was already perceived to be the hand of the Assassins sent by the surrounding cities.
Under this pressure, the deputy city lord took over, and the original Wucheng had to go if he didn't take this route, after all, the matter had already begun, and it was impossible to walk back without saying a word, because behind it, there were fierce and hungry wolves chasing it, eager to devour its flesh and blood.
It is absolutely painful to transform from a bred city to a free city. It's just that the original Wucheng is now on the verge of failure.
After the mercenary explained, he was angry and sad, he has always been an aboriginal in the original Wucheng, and witnessed the scene of the original Wucheng from reform to madness.
It's better that such a city would have collapsed earlier, and the long-term pain is better than the short-term pain. Thinking like this, the mercenary ran over to stop him when he saw Luo Xue uncover the commission.
"The reward it promised you may not be realized, and your help is likely to be in vain!" said the mercenary to Luo Xue. "And your help, if successful, Yuan Wucheng may still live half-dead for half a year. ”
"All I want is the right to ride a griffin as written on it. "The Griffin Tower is in the original Wucheng and it is impossible to run away, such a reward Luo Xue doesn't believe that the original Wucheng can't take it out. As for the additional reward of the city lord indicated on the commission, it is nothing more than an empty promise. Even a copper coin could be a reward, and Luo Xue didn't have any hope at all.
Hearing Luo Xue's words, the mercenary was speechless, sighed and said, "It's okay, if you want this city to live for a while, you can do whatever you want." I also have no right to stop you. ”
"Anyway, thank you for your explanation, I'm on my guard. After thanking the mercenary, Luo Xue left the mercenary association.
Inter-city infighting...... But it affected the civilians in his own area.
The outbreak of war between the two countries gave the former Wucheng hope to express itself. But it is like a splash in a pond that can never become a tsunami. After his own efforts were destroyed, the former Wucheng was completely overwhelmed by the pressure of its own residents and the outside world.
The residents of Cova River Town, because of the desperate mobilization of the former Wucheng, lost all the lives of the strong men, and their vitality was greatly damaged. It's no wonder that Ter doesn't have much of a good impression of the original Wucheng. (To be continued.) )
