The carriage began to pick up speed, this time to Brown Bear, the closest town to the border and the most remote village southeast of Campbell.

Brown Bear Town is less than a dozen miles south of the border, and it is also the closest place to Campbell and the Pale Mountains, and if the weather is good, you can faintly see the vague figure of the mountains from outside the town.

Brown Bear Town is also not too far from the eastern border, beyond the border is a large wasteland shrouded in fog all day long, a large forest from an unknown place through the fog, standing near the Campbell border, because the forest is too dense with trees, from a distance the black pressure is like a dark cloud transit, so it is called the "Black Forest".

More than ten years ago, there were often monsters here through the forest appeared on the border, and then the old earl came to the territory, and after hearing about this, he led the knights to the Black Forest to fight with these monsters, the most fierce one even went deep into the forest for dozens of miles, and finally paid the price of the paladin's wounded body and the death of four knights under his command to drive back the monsters near this border line, and since then the monsters have appeared much less frequently, which has restored the peace of the eastern border.

Although the monsters disappeared, the brown bear, another creature of the Black Forest, had no enemies and began to multiply, often seeing large brown bears with large bodies and clumsy movements roaming the forest.

Several parts of the brown bear's meat taste quite good if cooked properly, and the intact large bear skin is even more sought-after in the market, and hunters who have entered the Black Forest to hunt brown bears have found many rare herbs and alchemical materials in the forest, and the news has attracted many merchants and hunters to come to make money.

These people gathered in a nearby village, which gradually prospered over time, eventually developing into a small town, officially named Brown Bear Town.

As for why these people did not choose to settle in a town closer to the Black Forest in the north, but chose the small village where Brown Bear Town was located...... It is estimated that although the village is small, it is very close to the southern border, and if the lord does something unfavorable to these uninvited hunters and merchants, they will be able to escape at the first time.

Leon brushed aside his memories of the origin of Brown Bear Town, then looked at the man huddled next to him.

This is the lone passerby Leon saw on the roof of the car, a resident of Brown Bear Town, who appeared here to call for help in the neighboring town of Ansai.

According to this person's description, Brown Bear Town is in chaos right now, no, it's not enough to say that it's chaotic, it should be that the whole town is in a riot.

The cause of the incident was a mob invasion, the day before yesterday afternoon, a mob of about thirty people appeared outside the town, in fact, these people do not pose much threat to Brown Bear Town, because unlike several other towns, although there is no garrison here, it has the largest floating population, these people are composed of merchants, hunters and free mercenaries, merchants must bring at least a few guards, hunters and free mercenaries themselves must have a certain strength to dare to enter the forest to hunt brown bears.

With them, a mob of more than thirty people has no chance of winning at all.

And so it turned out, the mob was kicked out, but then they asked the townspeople for payment, on the grounds that "these people are coming to the town, and we have made an effort to drive the mob away for you, and you have to be more or less interested." ”

At first, the townsfolk felt that this reason was untenable, but they put together a sum of money as a reward for driving the enemy away.

The next day the enemy came again, but not a mob but a large group of goblins, and the number increased to fifty or sixty.

Leon had seen this creature in the Land of Chaos, and the strength of an adult goblin could generally surpass that of a mid-level adventurer, so the combat power of fifty or sixty goblins, including warriors, might be two to three times that of those mobs!

However, this time the attack of the goblins was also in vain, but the guards, hunters, and free mercenaries also suffered a lot of casualties despite the advantage of the terrain, and this was still a small matter, and they only had to think of the hateful eyes of the dozen or so remaining goblins as they retreated, and the gesture of disdain that they would return, these people were a little frightened.

So they also wanted to leave, anyway, the brown bears nearby had either been hunted or fled to the depths of the forest for so many years, and the number of peripherals was much less, and the herbs and materials within a dozen miles of the Black Forest had been looted almost completely, plus the form of this territory had become worse and worse recently, so it was better to leave for a while.

But they always felt that they were losing money, and began to hit the townspeople with their ideas.

Compared with other border towns, the residents of Brown Bear Town are relatively wealthy, because of these foreign populations, the requirements for accommodation and food are relatively high, and there are other short-term helpers such as delivery and guides, and they are paid a lot. But which of these people who are scurrying back and forth in several countries will be good stubble, when Earl Campbell was still alive before, he was shocked by his reputation as a paladin, and they didn't dare to go too far, but after the news of the lord's murder came, these people have gradually shown their arrogant and domineering side. In addition, there were casualties this time, and the idea of leaving arose again, and he began to be even more unscrupulous.

There is no garrison team stationed in Brown Bear Town, mainly because the manpower of the garrison is also limited in the face of the huge border of the kingdom, so a standard is set, and only when the number of residents reaches the standard will a team of ten people be stationed, although the number of people in Brown Bear Town exceeds the standard, most of them are foreign population, so they are excluded.

As for the disputes between the townspeople and outsiders in ordinary times, they belong to the internal affairs of the territory, and even if they find the border guard, they will not interfere, and can only rely on the mediation of the sheriff, which has increased the courage of these people at this point, they still collected money from the townspeople again and again in the name of pensions, and the sheriffs who came to stop them were all in a mess after being "mistakenly killed" by someone, and it was not uncommon for them to blatantly seize the property of the townspeople, and even kill people and set fires.

And at this moment, the man next to Li Ang took advantage of the chaos to escape from the town at the beginning of the commotion, and wanted to run to Ansai Town for help, but he ran into Li Ang and his party on the road.

The man's name was Jace, and he was an ordinary townsman, and he didn't think much when he saw this equally lonely carriage, because he knew that it was impossible to ask for help from strangers in such a thing, and even if he was already exhausted, he would insist on running to Ansai Town.

Jace was so anxious at the thought of his family who had stayed in town, he had been out for a while, and he didn't know what was going on with them.

Unexpectedly, the driver of the carriage stopped him, and the young man pulled him like a nobleman's subordinate, and the other party's strength was so great that no matter how much he struggled, he could not move even a step.

In desperation, Jace had no choice but to give a rough account of what had happened in Brown Bear Town, and then kindly advised them to change direction immediately if the target was Brown Bear Town, and those people were now like mobs in the Pale Mountains.

After Jace finished speaking, he noticed that the young man's face had changed, and then a girl's voice came from the carriage.

"Leon, we'd better speed it up. ”

The young man put Jeff on the other side of the beam with a slight lift, and then drove the carriage and began to speed in the direction of Brown Bear Town, Jace was so frightened that he thought that these men were also helpers of the merchants or hunters, and he was going to take him back to dispose of them.

He was just about to jump out of the car to escape, but he didn't expect the young man to say without looking back, "If you want to save your family, tell me about the situation in the town in detail again!"

"Do they want to go to Brown Bear Town to stop the atrocities of those people?" Jace froze for a moment, "just the coachman and the people in the carriage? Even if they were nobles of the kingdom, those people wouldn't care about it, and maybe even they themselves would be robbed." ”

"Trust me, Jace," said the young man, turning back this time and staring at Jace, who was no longer confused.

Looking at the clear eyes of the other party, and the firmness that showed it, Jace finally slowly started with the mob invasion, repeating in detail what had happened in the past few days.

Leon fell silent, he did not expect the last target of his trip to be in such a terrible situation, not only with foreign invasion but also civil strife, these merchants and hunters who had gained so much in the Black Forest near Brown Bear Town, but unceremoniously plundered their own place for many years at the last moment before leaving.

He narrowed his eyes and said no more, but the two horses seemed to sense their master's anger from the reins around their necks, and they spread their hooves and sprinted quickly forward with a cloud of smoke and dust raised, the carriage was very bumpy at this speed of travel, but the people inside did not complain, but only looked at Leon's back with worried eyes.

"I've never seen Brother Li Ang so angry......" The always optimistic priest girl didn't smile this time and muttered to herself.
