In the year 998 of the Holy Calendar, the Sanctuary of Mangcheng.

In the middle of the day, the sweltering weather, and the dark clouds of lifelessness in the distance in the sky appear and disappear, giving people the feeling that a rainstorm is coming.

In the northwest corner of Mangcheng, as far as the eye can see, there are green trees everywhere.

In the northwest corner of the forest full of greenery and pines and cypresses, I saw a cow leisurely gnawing on the tender green in the clearing of the forest, which was particularly eye-catching.

This cow has a swarthy appearance, smooth hair, and a burly and muscular body, giving people a very healthy feeling, and the average person will know at a glance that it should be a good farmer.

But there is no farmland here, and it is strange that a cow is here.

In Mangcheng, this kind of livestock is not raised by every family, and even if it is raised, the livestock will not stay at home for a long time, and will be snatched by soldiers from various countries and then eaten.

Mangcheng is located in the holy area, with a population of about 100,000 households, mainly gathered in the southeast of the city, and this place is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Ark Country, Luo Lie Country and Tianji Country.

The three countries all want to incorporate it into their own territory, and due to the problems left over from history and the political means of all parties, they dare not openly annex this place, so Mangcheng is sandwiched between the three countries and has a hard time at all.

It is said that it doesn't matter what it is, but in fact, it is all three.

Today, the soldiers of the Ark Kingdom may come over to loot some people's fat and ointment, and tomorrow the soldiers of the Luo Lie Kingdom may come over and grab a few animals...... And you can often see the soldiers of the two countries and even the soldiers of the three countries fighting in order to grab a cow, in short, this kind of life day after day, rich people will naturally become poor after a long time, so this place is very poor, there is almost no gap between the rich and the poor.

There are many people who don't want to be squeezed and want to leave this place, but they don't have enough money to bribe the immigration officers of any country!

It is really rare to see such a strong cow in Mangcheng!

The northwest corner of Mangcheng is a forest area, although the land is very fertile, but the trees that grow here are shading the sky and the sun, which is not suitable for growing crops at all, and the trees here block the wind, resulting in much more sultry here than other places, plus this place is inaccessible, which also provides the innate growth conditions for this cow.

It's not easy for a cow to grow so big!

Half an hour later, the torrential rain poured down, and the raindrops the size of beans went straight down, hitting the smooth hair of the black cow, and then slid down the hair to the tip of the hair, and then quickly dripped down, fell in the grass, and then immersed in the soil, the whole space was instantly filled with the smell of earth, but the black cow after washing was spotless, shiny and shiny, and looked more delicate and smooth.

The originally sultry weather, with God's generosity, gradually has a hint of coolness.

A man wearing a hat hurried from a distance, and judging by his dress and walking posture, he was a woman.

She was medium-sized, neither tall nor short in the eyes of everyone, and her figure was very well-proportioned, and the rain blocked the view and could not see her delicate face. The only thing that could be determined at the moment was that she was walking in the direction of the cow at the edge of the woods.

The woman walked in the rainstorm with a hat, her clothes were already soaked, and the light gauze clothes and her skin blended together, and a picture of a woman bathing added a different color to the natural scenery.

The woman came to the cow's side and stroked the cow's head a few times, and there seemed to be words in her mouth, as if she was comforting the black bull, or telling the black bull about its suffering.

The woman led the cow by the nose and pulled the black ox step by step in the direction it came, and the return journey took a long time. She led the cow into a simple cowshed, stopped, and then quickly took off the hat and shook it, and the rain on the hat lost its original line and splashed everywhere.

Losing the shelter of the rain, the woman's face is perfectly presented, combined with the perfectly proportioned figure just now, at this moment, it is like meeting a fairy descending to earth.

The beauty is actually doing this kind of work that seems to be incompatible with her own jade body. Who would have thought that a woman could be so capable?

Tie the cow, add some accessories, the woman touched the cow's head again, comforted for a few minutes, at this time the black cow did not eat grass, seemed to enjoy the woman's touch, tilted his head, a feeling of unfinished.

It wasn't until the woman had left and completely out of sight of the black cow that it came back to its senses and began to chew heavily on the hay in the cow trough.

The torrential rain fell for half a day, and there was still no intention of stopping at night, and it did not stop until midnight.

The next day, Mang Cheng seemed to have another disaster, the low-lying areas were flooded by torrential rains, and many people were forced to leave their homes, and the woods were natural reservoirs that would not be affected.

Five days later, the water in the low-lying area of Mangcheng was completely exhausted, and the homeless people returned to their homes.

The soldiers of the Three Kingdoms of the Sacred Domain are not ordinary people, they are carefully selected from ordinary people, and the first condition for being able to become a soldier is to successfully build a foundation and be able to cultivate.

In other words, soldiers are monks who can build foundations, and as long as they can build foundations successfully, they also have the conditions to become stronger, and then they are recruited by various countries to serve in various empires. The more resources you have, the stronger the person, the greater the rights you have, and the rights and resources complement each other.

Therefore, there is an atmosphere in the entire Sanctuary - the strong are respected. Here, as long as you have the strength, you can have everything.

After all, the people who can't build a foundation are the mass group, the largest number of people, they will only become the victims of the empire, and the last thing that every empire lacks is ordinary people. The strong will become the object of contention from all sides.

One day, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the five soldiers of the Tianji Kingdom did not get any benefit from the gathering place of residents in the southeast of Mangcheng. Several soldiers looked helpless, even displeased.

"Brothers, why don't you go to other places. A thin soldier said.

The other four soldiers instantly set their eyes on the thin man.

One of the fat men looked at him with a somewhat different look from the other three, as if with a vicious and fierce light, but in an instant, he forcibly covered it up.

"On a hot day, there are no good things in this place, and birds don't poop in other places. The fat man suppressed the anger in his heart and said.

One of the seemingly elderly soldiers said: "In the past, every time I came out, I could bring something back, but recently it has become less and less, and we have not had a good time as soldiers these days, do you remember the second looting squad? How did the leaders punish them when they returned empty-handed? So we can't go home empty-handed today." ”

After hearing the older soldier mention the incident of the second raiding team, several people's faces sank.

The Skinny Soldier continued, "Captain, it looks like we're going to have to go to the land where this bird doesn't today. ”

Everyone nodded, and the fat man, who was unhappy at first, could only nod silently in support at the moment.

In a column of four, the captain commanded on the left side of the queue, and five walked towards the northwest corner.

They made their way through no man's land to the edge of the woods, when suddenly a large black shadow in the woods caught the attention of the people in the front row.

"Captain, look, what is that. ”

Everyone looked in the direction of this person's finger and was instantly surprised.

"Shhh......hhhh The captain whispered.

Five soldiers, like thieves, slowly approached the black shadow they had just seen.

"Captain, cow, it's a black cow. The man who had just spotted the shadow said.

When everyone heard this, their faces sank, and then they looked at each other again, and immediately showed the face of a robber.
