266: The city of Troy

Outside of Troy, a straight, wide commercial avenue runs across the plain of Scamanderos and into the harbor on the Dardanelles.

Elrence and the others walked along the commercial avenue, and saw that the city of Troy, located on the side of Aida Mountain, was very large, and its majestic white boulder walls stood tall and bathed in the golden sunlight of the early morning, which was extremely dazzling.

Soon, the crowd was under the great walls of Troy.

There are seven gates, the central one twenty meters wide and ten meters high, which can accommodate ten carriages entering the city at the same time. The other six small gates are lined up on the left and right, and at this time of day, the city gate is already crowded with merchants and vendors waiting to enter the city. However, since the surrender of Troy, trade between the two sides of the Sea of Qin has been cut off, and the Eastern Romans have made a rampant conquest, and Troy's commercial activities have plummeted, and the prosperity of the past has long been lost.

In order not to attract attention, Elrens and the others hired a carriage outside the city gate and followed the sparse pedestrians into the city. As they entered the huge archway, the guards on the left and right, who had been listless, suddenly lit up and surrounded them with spears.

A man who looked like a leader, dressed in the armor of an Eastern Roman ten-legon, approached and shouted angrily: "Who are the people inside, and the carriage will be charged for entering the city!"

Elrence and the others looked at each other, and there was a charge for the carriage to enter the city, and these Eastern Romans would really find a way to make money! There was no way, Dmitry had to poke his head out of the window and ask, "How much do you want to charge?"

The leader of the guards rolled his eyes, and the guy in front of him was a raw face. It is estimated that he is a businessman who comes to Troy for the first time, and he should have a lot of possessions with him, so he can make a good profit. So he laughed and said, "Not much." Just a thousand miles. ”

It costs 1,000 miles to enter the city once, which is simply a robbery. But none of the people in the carriage were poor, and that money was nothing to them. In order to avoid any complications, Dmitry took a silver coin from his bosom and threw it into the arms of the head of the guard: "Here you go!

The leader of the guards hurriedly raised it and saw that it was a large silver coin worth a thousand miles, and he was overjoyed. I thought that these merchants liked to bargain, but I didn't expect this person to be so generous! The other party must have a huge amount of money, so he had to find a way to make more money from them. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the position you have so hard to occupy?

So he rolled his eyes and said inch by inch: "Not yet, you still have to pay taxes on the goods you bring!"

"What?" Dmitry frowned, "we didn't have any merchandise with us!"

"Hmph, you still dare to smuggle goods? If I find it, I will be fined ten times!"

The leader of the guards didn't believe the other man's words at all. He waved to his subordinates behind him: "Let me go in and search!"

After the leader of the guards finished speaking, he vigorously opened the car door. Ellens and the others didn't expect this guy to be so bold, and they couldn't help but be stunned and didn't stop his rudeness in time.

When the leader of the guards entered the carriage, he was stunned, and the first thing he saw was Oni and Lilishi. Lilith is a mature and delicate little beauty, but she is overshadowed by Princess Ernie's side. Although Oni is young, she has long been known as the first beauty in Athens, and she is extremely cute and charming. The skin is as delicate and flawless as a porcelain doll, and a pair of big eyes are as innocent and clean as blue pupils. Anyone who looks at it will be captivated. Where had this vulgar leader of the guards ever seen such a beauty? At that moment he could not help but salivate, and he only felt itchy in his heart, and he wanted to pounce on him and rape him fiercely!

Driven by desire, the leader of the guards pointed at Oni and said with a lewd smile: "You! I suspect that you have smuggled goods hidden on you, and you are trying to evade taxes, so come and search your body with me immediately!"

As he spoke, he reached out to pull Oni in a hurry, and Ellenston was furious, and he reached out like lightning, grabbing his opponent's dirty paws tightly.

The leader of the guards did not know that his death was near, and he glared at the evil dragon and scolded: "You! What are you going to do, don't you want to live? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu asked someone to hack you to death!"

"Who the fuck are you going to die!" Elrens pulled angrily, tearing off his arm, along with his collarbone and several sternums!

The leader of the guards let out a shrill scream, blood splattered out like a fountain, and the whole person fell to the ground from the car door to the ground, unable to move. The guards behind him were taken aback, and hurriedly rushed up with their spears and stabbed at Elrens.

"Look for death!"

The dragon simply didn't do anything, he roared, drew his illusionary sword and jumped out of the carriage. With a single sword, he cut the waist of one of the guards in front of him into two pieces, and then swung his sword one after another, and under the cold light and bloody shadow, more than half of the guards were slashed in an instant! The scene was extremely bloody, and the blood, severed limbs and internal organs of the soldiers who died tragically flowed all over the ground, and the remaining guards saw the terrifying appearance of the other party's bloody body like a god-killing ghost, and they were all so frightened that they no longer dared to have the idea of revenge, and they all let out an exclamation in unison, threw down their weapons and turned around and fled.

Ellens was about to chase and was about to pursue, Chryses hurriedly persuaded: "Forget it, let them go, we have a business to do, why waste time with them?"

The dragon nodded and returned to the carriage. At this time, the guards at the city gate had fled, and everyone continued to set off along the commercial avenue, along the way there were few pedestrians in the city, and most of the shops on both sides were closed to the façade, even if there were occasional open doors to do business, the goods were very scarce, and there was a depressed scene everywhere.

The carriage sped forward, and in a short time it was back in Chryses' apartment in the city of Troy. Nestled next to the lake of the sun at the back of the palace, it is surrounded by lush flowers and plants, and although it is called an apartment, the structure of the whole building is similar to that of a castle, but it is a little smaller.

When the guards of the apartment saw the high priest returning to the city, they immediately opened the gates, and everyone walked briskly through the garden in front of them into the splendid hall, and each found a place to sit
