Chapter 298: The City of Yellow Sands
The City of Yellow Sands, a small city on the edge of the desert, although its remote location makes it seem a little desolate, it is also the best shelter for the surrounding people, and it is also the best place to trade.
As for why they chose to trade in the city, of course, it was because of safety, although the guards with big shoulders and round waists looked as fierce as robbers, but they would not rob the small amount of property like robbers - as long as enough was pumped into the city, these guards not only did not loot, but were even happy to be a third-party witness to everyone's transaction in the name of the local nobles.
Sometimes, of course, these guards will also sell special products that they can only get their hands on.
Just like it is now.
"Do you want slaves?"
After bringing a few old local farmers into their posts, the guards introduced them to their goods.
"They're all newly caught robbers, you all know each other, right? Look at this, Sand Pirate Seth, this thief leader is not a scourge to you, is he? Right now, all you need is ten bags of wheat to take away. ”
"Seth? Is this really that Seth? ”
Several old farmers came over one after another, looking suspicious.
It's not that they don't trust the soldiers, it's that there are too many bandits who call themselves Seth these days. The name originally belonged to the gods of Desert and Storm, and it was only natural that bandits who wanted to boast of their bravery would choose it to boast of their name - there were at least five Seth hanging around the desert city, and they all said that they were the ones who were favored by the god of the desert, and that everyone else was a fake.
But among these Seths, there is only one Seth, and he is the one that everyone hates the most.
"This is the brute! I know him when he turns to ashes! ”
An old farmer took a closer look at it, and his eyes became blood-red.
"I'll give out twelve sacks of wheat! Chop him up and feed it to the dogs! ”
The old farmer shouted angrily, it was obvious that this old farmer was afraid that he had some inextricable mortal enmity with this sand thief.
Moreover, he is not the only one who has a grudge against this bandit leader at the moment.
"I'll give out thirteen bags!"
"I'll give out fifteen bags!"
"I'll add two more rolls of linen!"
"I'll add another bow!"
For a while, these old peasants were clamoring, and it was obvious that the bandit leader had been wandering around to commit crimes before—but now he didn't have the one hundred and ten robbers around him to protect him, or rather, the robbers who guarded him were now all pulled out one by one as sold slaves.
"It's all shared! Everyone's got a share! ”
The guards greeted the old peasants with a smile, and the smiles on their faces grew even brighter when they heard the noisy bidding.
That's really laughable, after all, this kind of luck may not be encountered once a year, and the bandit group that they themselves were helpless to do was actually cleaned up by people passing by, but the warrior who was strong at first glance said that it was just a gesture...... Of course, it is extremely dangerous to let such skilled warriors work in vain, and they all know it, but compared with the little money they paid, they have gained much more at the moment.
"I'll give out twenty sacks of wheat! Three rolls of linen! Plus two bows, one shield! ”
The old farmer who was the first to shout the price almost roared out these prices, and such a high price to buy a slave was a bit too much to look at.
But then, everyone knew the reason why the old farmer offered a high price.
"My daughter, young Isis, has just reached the age of marriage and is going to have a good life...... The damned robber attacked the caravan and killed the groom's entire family, and when we arrived with our men, all we saw was the body of my poor daughter. ”
"That's yours."
These words have been said, and no one wants to continue to rob them, although everyone wants to slaughter the robber leader with their own hands, but obviously, how can the grudge of those robbers compare to the anger of a father?
Moreover, although the robber leader was divided, there were still many robbers left.
"That bandit group has been caught! No one ran away! ”
The guards stood up with a smile.
"So, don't worry, everyone has a share, everyone has revenge!"
"Good!"
The old peasants had never been so excited, and even the menacing faces of the guards looked so amiable at the moment.
Originally, they thought that these guards were no different from robbers, just collecting tolls and the other collecting city taxes, but now it seems that these guards are still somewhat useful, at least they really beat those wandering robbers, and even left them with the opportunity for revenge.
If you think about it this way, these guards are quite strong? You must know that it is a bandit group of more than 100 people, and it may not be possible to rely on the guards in this city alone.
"Ha, hahaha......"
In the face of the compliments of the old peasants, the guards barely managed to squeeze out a little smile, not admitting or denying it.
It was a good thing to be able to take this credit to themselves anyway, on the one hand, to accept the praise of these local folks, and on the other hand, to show their faces in the face of the nobles who were in charge of the city—but when they thought of the man who had actually done it, the guards were a little apprehensive, and they did not know what the consequences of their actions would be.
If the other party is just an ordinary warrior, then this credit, they will swallow it when they say it, anyway, it's just that these fellows themselves think that they did it, and they don't say it themselves.
But the warrior who did it all......
The guards were sweating slightly.
There is no other reason, just because the oppression brought by that figure is too great, it is not so much a human being, but a giant, this towering rammed earth wall, is only a person's height higher than the other party, they even suspect that the other party only needs to jump, can jump to the top of the city.
And when they shot their bows and arrows, trying to kill this terrifying monster, the other party took a dozen arrows in front of them empty-handed.
This is no longer a human being, at least they no longer have any means to deal with the other party, even if the other party directly climbed over the wall and killed them at that time, they had no way at all.
Fortunately, the warrior left after receiving the payment, but the huge psychological shadow brought by that figure still lingered in their hearts - if possible, they would never want to see the second side of that figure again in their lives, they just wanted to think that everything was an illusion.
But immediately, they knew that it was not an illusion.
It's just because, the warrior who left, is back.
The second shift was delivered, and everyone rested early.
Also: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly passes, and thank you for your encouragement and support.
I'm going to go ahead and sort out my thoughts, good night everyone.
