Surrounded by the last few dozen people in the ranks, the carriage entered the garrison from the open wooden fence.

"Cleveland, I'm going to see him right away. Wang Qinian jumped down from the middle of the horse, then took Agatha's hand and walked towards the center of the camp, temporarily safe.

Here is a large tent, fenced off by a one-and-a-half-high wooden fence that blocks the mouth of the valley.

If you want to enter the mining area in the valley from the mouth of the valley, you must pass through the camp of the garrison troops, otherwise there are only two roads: the heavens and the earth.

The importance of the Mithril Mine is now self-evident to Free City, hence the presence of Cleveland.

Cleveland's first group of old men who followed Franklin to establish Liberty City have been building and controlling the city's most elite personal guards for Franklin.

It wasn't until Franklin couldn't be relieved because of the Mithril mine that he was sent to command the troops stationed in the mine.

Wang Qinian rushed here in the hope of being sheltered by this army.

Holding Agatha's little hand, Wang Qinian walked to the big tent in the center of the camp, and the slave laborers who were working along the way saw Wang Qinian and Agatha, showing a flattering smile and nodding their heads.

The excavation of the Mithril mine requires a huge amount of manpower, and it has to be kept secret, if you spend money to hire free people to dig it, it is inefficient and not conducive to secrecy, so Franklin has to use slave labor, of course, the existing slaves in the free city are not enough, so a large number of slaves have been bought from slave traders, even this is still not enough.

Later, I heard that Wang Qinian built yì, and secretly escorted all the felons of the Free City here, and added thousands of slaves, which solved the urgent need, and now there are more and more slaves working in the valley, and the total number has reached nearly 10,000.

Half of the garrison will always be stationed at the mouth of the valley, and the other half will escort a shipment of Mithril ore back to Free City every two days, and then bring clean water, food, and live animals from Free City.

On the edge of the camp and the mouth of the valley, a large number of slave laborers can be seen, dressed in rags, marching out of the valley with pieces of ore under the guidance of the overseers, and placing them in the designated temporary storage area, where they will be inspected before being put into the official storage area, and the ore will be sent to the Free City two days later.

During this process, the slaves were constantly watched by the sharp spears on both sides, and after laying down the ore, they had to return to the valley to continue their work, and the slightest change would put their lives in danger.

In the valley was the world of overseers, who were selected from the outer city guards, and they had short swords and leather whips with small thorns, and any slave who disobeyed was a whip, and if the slaves dared to try to riot, the overseers only had to blow a whistle, and the other outer city guards patrolling the valley and the inner city guards at the mouth of the valley, and even the personal guards rushed in to suppress them.

Every day, these miners had to pay a certain amount of Mithril ore to pass, or they would be whipped by the overseers, but if they were good at it, they might be transferred from the mining area to the camp as a model of diligence and reliability, and temporarily escape from miserable labor to do some easier tasks, such as cleaning for officers, helping auxiliaries slaughter live animals, or carrying ore, instead of staying in the dark of the mines.

Wang Qinian is now unconcerned about the management of the mines, with wolves and tigers behind him, and an even bigger storm may be hitting the Free City, he desperately needs help, at least to keep Agatha safe.

There were three or four people in the tent, the tallest burly man was Cleveland, and the other three were a squadron leader of the inner city guards who were in charge of leading the personal guards, and a military mage from Chris, who was probably discussing before Wang Qilai.

"Solomon, why are you here? Cleveland was a little surprised to see Wang Qinian, but he was even more surprised when he saw Agatha next to Wang Qinian.

"Why did you bring her with you?"

"Uncle Cleveland. Agatha rushed forward as if she had seen a loved one, and Cleveland bent down and picked up the girl who was already between Lori and the girl.

"It was Mr. Solomon who snuck out and met the bad guys on the way. Agatha's words simply told Cleveland what had happened to him.

"What the hell is going on?" Cleveland, as an old subordinate who has been following Franklin to fight the world, is also very fond of Agatha, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.

Wang Qinian recounted the story of his life, and then called for Berengalia and Richard, who had been waiting impatiently, to be summoned, and the wounded soldiers were placed for treatment and rest, and Wolf, who had been badly injured in the carriage, was also properly placed in a clean tent.

"Rest assured, it's safe here. Although half of the troops had not returned from escorting the ore to Liberty City two days ago, there were still three squadrons of troops, one of which was the Personal Guard, and there was no need to fear the attackers, even if they were the elite forces sent by the Dark Traders. Cleveland said confidently.

He does have this confidence, the single combat power of the Free City Guards is better than that of the Caged Slave Hunting Regiment, although it may be inferior in numbers, but there are two squadrons to assist, among which the Inner City Guards can also reach the combat effectiveness of ordinary Terran regular soldiers.

Moreover, after the slave hunting group destroyed Wang Qinian's troops, they still lost some troops, and Cleveland was fully confident that he would face the cage slave trapping group head-on with his current strength, and if he counted the other half of the garrison troops would return, he could even eat them in turn and avenge Wang Qi and them.

"Don't be so optimistic, the other half of your troops may not come back. Wang Qinian said worriedly.

"Why?"

"Because if my guess is correct, the main city may be close to it, or there may be a war breaking out, if so, the previous mine protection troops will definitely be left behind by the city lord to participate in the war, and they will not be able to return to the mine to help us. ”

Cleveland gasped and didn't ask any further, he already understood what Wang Qinian meant.

As one of Franklin's henchmen, Cleveland's contribution to Freedom City may not be as good as Wang Qinian's now, but the trust he receives may still be above him, so Cleveland basically knows all of Franklin's plans this time.

"It doesn't matter, you and the city lord have already made the best preparations there. Cleveland, worthy of being an experienced veteran, quickly regained his senses, he put down Agatha, touched her head lovingly, and said, "If that's the case, then my most important task now is to protect Agatha and you." ”

"Uncle Cleveland, Mr. Solomon, those guys might be chasing here. Agatha raised her little face and said to the two of them with a stern expression.

"Don't worry, there's more troops here than the bad guys, and there's Cleveland here. Wang Qinian comforted.

"But they still have the big bad guy who came after us at the end. "Even the orc who followed us is no match for him. ”

Agatha was talking about Helriffin, his strength was revealed in the pursuit just now, easily killing the soldiers of the personal guard who were close to a small team, and almost killed Wang Qinian, and even England was not an opponent.

This is the strength of a soldier who has reached the advanced rank, and one person is worth the strength of at least a squadron, which can determine the direction of a skirmish.

"Hmph, Modo's Yuehua Swordsman, I heard that he is a disciple of the Xingyao Sword Saint, but he is also only one person, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Cleveland said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will guard Agatha to the Free City side There is news, as long as the city lord knows that Agatha has an accident, he will definitely send someone to answer it." ”

Wang Qinian nodded, now it has to be like this for the time being, he can only send someone to report to the Free City first, if there is a war over there, and now rush back, it is more dangerous on the road, it is better to stay here and wait for the result on the side of the Free City, if the previous plan is successful, Franklin will definitely send someone to respond.

As for the armed forces of Helifin or the Dark Merchant, Wang Qinian is still confident that he will not have to worry too much under the protection of this group of troops in the Gukou Mining Area.

The armed forces sent by the Dark Merchant originally had almost two squadrons, but in the process of attacking, they defeated the troops of more than 400 people combined by Wang Qinian and Bolun Galia, and only lost about 200 people, so there should still be about 1,000 troops now.

Even if there are only half of the troops stationed in the valley, there are more than 1,800 people, which is close to twice the opponent's strength, even if the combat power of the outer city guards is not very effective, but the inner city guards and the personal guards are still more numerous than the cage slave hunting group, and the combat power should be slightly better.

Although Heliphon is powerful, there is always only one person, and it is almost impossible to escape the many protections to kidnap Agatha, and Cleveland will personally protect her.

Cleveland is almost close to level fifteen, and has reached the peak of intermediate warriors, but it has never been able to break through and go further, and has the strength to fight with England.

With his protection, Heliphon came alone, it was impossible to succeed in one blow, and as long as he was entangled, the entire battalion of thousands of soldiers, as well as Wang Qinian, two squadron leaders, and a military mage were all his enemies, in addition to not counting Burrengalia and Richard, the Yuehua swordsman would only have a dead end if he didn't run.

Thinking about it, it seemed that there was no need to worry, but when Wang Qinian looked at Agatha, he saw that the little girl was frowning, looking at her pitifully, as if she was still worried about something.

Wang Qinian's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and slapped his thigh, "Oh no!"

Cleveland looked at him in surprise, and Wang Qinian opened his mouth and shouted, "They will join forces!"
