Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

Chapter 372 Before the Red Arrow City Gate

Two brilliant suns were in the sky, and the blue sky was exceptionally clear.

On a rather rugged and narrow mountain road, several carriages covered with oilcloth were slowly advancing, escorted by a group of mercenaries.

It can be observed from the corner of the oilcloth that is occasionally blown up by the breeze.

The items delivered were all ordinary seasonings and salt, nothing special.

At this time, because there is an unobstructed cliff on one side of the road, it looks misty and bottomless.

Therefore, the middle-aged businessman who was driving in the carriage at the head was extremely careful. He held the reins of the old horse in front of him tightly with both hands and did not dare to be careless for a moment.

On the other hand, the few mercenaries walking around looked a little relaxed and were talking to each other in low voices.

Now they are very close to their destination.

For a while, there were the creaking sounds of the wooden carriage, the occasional whistling of the strong wind coming from under the cliff, and the low voices of the mercenaries talking one after another.

It forms a very suitable and very common journey scene.

"Captain, after passing this mountain, we will reach the boundary of Red Arrow Town. We have been sleeping in the wilderness for several days. We must have a few drinks soon!"

I saw a handsome male mercenary wearing leather armor with a hint of childishness still on his face, looking expectantly at the sassy female mercenary with a rather delicate appearance.

"New here, you kid... are you trying to trick our captain?"

On the other side, a middle-aged male mercenary holding a square shield came up with a smirk on his face and joked: "The nickname of our captain is a rose with thorns dripping blood.

Not only has his own strength reached the coveted second-order peak level, it can be said to be extremely powerful.

Moreover, it is still famous that you will not get drunk after a thousand cups. You, a young eggplant, should go back and practice for a few more years. "

"Senior, no...it's not what you think!"

Hearing this, the young and handsome mercenary waved his hand quickly and said with a blushing face: "I just think the captain is very cool and want to become a professional mercenary like the captain!"

"Old Rock, you have been playing the position of defender in our team for some years, right?

By the way, wasn't the person you were targeting at the beginning also our captain? Why didn't you succeed and you taught the newcomers a lesson? "

At this moment, I saw a middle-aged priest with a few patches on his white robe beside him, raising his eyebrows seriously.

"I said treatment, don't talk nonsense. I...the youngest kid in my family is already a fool!"

Hearing this, the shield-wielding old man Luo Ke blushed and quickly explained: "I just want the newcomers to learn to retreat despite difficulties.

You know, our captain is the dream lover of many mercenaries! It's not a good thing to have too many enemies, including love rivals, of course. "

"Okay, now is not the time for such a joke."

At this moment, the sassy female mercenary, who had not spoken yet, frowned slightly and said, "Have you forgotten where our destination is?"

Hearing this, Rock immediately closed his mouth with a playful smile, leaving the handsome mercenary with a confused face and said blankly: "Captain.

Is this Red Arrow Town any different from other towns? "

"Newcomer, you don't know something. This Red Arrow Town is a famously cruel place in the surrounding area."

Shaking his head helplessly, the mercenary priest with patches on his white robe began to explain: "This Red Arrow Town has only one industry.

That is to breed a large number of violent magic bead monsters by the river, and then sell the magic beads they produce to make a lot of profits.

However, because this kind of monster is extremely difficult to raise, you may encounter fatal attacks whether you are collecting magic beads or feeding them.

The final outcome is obvious, and this kind of thing happens almost every day in Red Arrow Town. "

"So that's it..."

Hearing this, the delicate mercenary swallowed involuntarily, and then said: "If that's the case, why not add some protective measures to reduce casualties?

In other words, simply switch to a new industry? "

"Because the people in power here don't allow it."

A rustling voice sounded, and the female mercenary captain sighed.

Then he said: "As for strengthening protective measures, for those in power here, it is naturally because the cost and maintenance costs are too high.

Compared with these high costs, the death of a few insignificant residents every day is obviously a perfect deal. "

Just when a few mercenaries said this.

After twists and turns, the convoy had already driven out of the mountain road and arrived at a spacious avenue.

At this time, the outline of a town not far away began to come into view.

Looking carefully, the walls of this town are extremely tall.

It is covered with defensive measures similar to a magic grid, and from time to time, violent currents can be seen flashing across it.

This kind of magic grid has almost no effect on first-level five-star or above cultivators. They can compete by mobilizing the energy in the body.

But for ordinary civilians, it is fatal.

From this, the role of these magic power grids is naturally self-evident.

"This is not a town, it's just a huge prison."

Looking at the black-armored soldiers standing neatly at the gate of the city, the handsome mercenary swallowed involuntarily again.

"Newcomers, don't talk nonsense for a while. These soldiers are murderous guys and their methods are extremely ruthless.

Last time, I saw with my own eyes that a young couple who tried to escape from the town were impaled on the spot without even asking for a reason. "

Shaking his head helplessly, Rock, who was holding the shield, lowered his voice and said: "What's even more annoying is that there is another time.

A young mercenary who was about your age was killed on the spot just because he had a few quarrels with the gatekeepers.

The corpse was hung at the city gate for several days. The joking voices of the soldiers at that time are still echoing in my ears. "

"Besides, these people are even children...sigh."

On the other side, mid-sentence, the middle-aged pastor quickly clasped his hands in front of his chest in a praying posture and stopped talking.

"These soldiers are so arrogant and domineering. Is there no one to take care of them?" Hearing this, the handsome mercenary clenched his fists with an indignant expression.

"Hush! The person in power here, standing behind him, is Marquis Luoji, who can cover the sky with one hand in the surrounding area!

With such a high-ranking and powerful figure, ordinary people can't even hide, so who would dare to trouble him? "

Instructing the handsome mercenary to lower his voice a little lower, the middle-aged mercenary Rock said cautiously.

"It would be great if another big shot could show up and kill all these hateful guys."

Under the bright sunshine, looking at the fierce-looking black-armored soldiers at the door, the handsome mercenary clenched his fists tightly and bit his lips.

After listening to the handsome mercenary's words, Rock and the other priest mercenary couldn't help but shook their heads and said nothing.

Such innocent words can only be said by such a stupid boy who is just starting out.

At this moment, there was only the female mercenary captain who was walking at the front. Her bright eyes could not help but flash with a hint of expectation.

He murmured to himself: "I hope there really is such a big shot."

Thinking of this, the female mercenary captain turned back slightly and said to the mercenaries behind her: "In short, this time the escort is over, let's immediately look for the next mission.

I don't want to stay in a place like this that eats people without spitting out their bones. "

"It all depends on the captain's orders." Hearing this, all the mercenaries behind him clasped their fists.

Just like that, a moment later.

This group of people quickly arrived at the city gate.

At this time, there were already many other caravans lining up at the door waiting for inspection.

At a glance, they were all mercenaries and merchants transporting supplies just like them.

There is no doubt that ordinary travelers will not come to this town that has already become notorious.

It can be seen from the magic grid standing tall on the city wall.

The residents in the city obviously had no possibility of escaping.

"You're an old cunning person, so get out of here quickly."

After a while, after receiving the money bag respectfully handed over by a businessman.

The captain of the black-armored soldier who was conducting an investigation roughly patted the businessman on the head.

Then while greedily putting the money bag into his arms, he led a few more black-armored soldiers to the next convoy and began to continue the investigation.

Seeing this, the middle-aged mercenary Rock, who was holding a shield, and the middle-aged priest mercenary next to him couldn't help but look at each other.

The convoy they were guarding was right behind this convoy.

What was delivered was just ordinary seasonings and salt.

By then, I hope nothing will go wrong.

You know, once these arrogant and domineering soldiers are in a bad mood, they will suffer disaster.

Just when both of them were a little nervous.

There was a sudden commotion in the caravan ahead.

"Old guy, this girl has never appeared in your caravan before."

At this time, I saw the captain of the black-armored soldier pointing at a pretty well-developed young girl next to him.

Then he asked a gray-haired old businessman, "Who is this person?"

"Sir, this is Lao Chan's daughter. It's the first time she has gone out to do business with Lao Chan, so she looks strange to me, so I hope you will take notice."

Hearing this, the old businessman bowed in response, and immediately took out a large money bag and handed it over respectfully.

After taking the money bag, the captain of the black-armored soldier weighed it in his hand. A look of satisfaction appeared on his face full of anger, and he nodded slightly.

Next, just when everyone thought that the storm was over.

The captain of the black-armored soldier put the money bag into his arms first.

Then, he ordered to the black-armored soldiers behind him: "You actually want to bribe me with money. From this, we can see that that girl must be a spy.

Catch her back for me. I will personally interrogate her later! "

Having said this, an evil smile suddenly appeared on the face of the black-armored soldier captain.

At first, without concealing it, he looked up and down on the young girl's curvy body.

"Sir, there is a misunderstanding! She is just an old girl!" Upon hearing this, the old businessman quickly protected the young woman with a frightened face and began to explain.

"Old guy, how dare you hinder me?!"

The captain of the black-armored soldier spat at an elderly businessman and threatened, "I think you are tired of living!"

After finishing speaking, the captain of the black-armored soldier suddenly felt a strong murderous aura. He pulled out the long sword from his waist and pointed it directly at the old businessman's old neck.

Seeing this scene, the mercenaries guarding the old businessman lowered their heads in silence, unable to think of any resistance.

Their mission is only to escort the caravan to its destination. As for contending with these murderous soldiers, it is obviously not within the scope of the mission.

The other mercenaries and merchants around them also turned their heads to the side, with expressions of reluctance but helplessness on their faces.

They couldn't afford to offend these arrogant and domineering soldiers.

You know, standing behind these soldiers is Marquis Rocky, who covers the sky with one hand!

Seeing the obedient expressions of the people around him, the murderous smile on the face of the captain of the black-armored soldier became even more intense.

Then, without hesitation, he raised his sword and slashed at the old businessman.

"stop!"

At this moment, a determined voice sounded, interrupting the movement of the black-armored soldier captain.

Hearing this, not only the black-armored soldier captain and his group, but also the surrounding mercenaries and merchants, also looked around in surprise.

The one who spoke was the handsome young mercenary.

After a moment of daze.

The first ones to look horrified were the middle-aged mercenary Rock and the middle-aged priest next to him.

These two are both veteran mercenaries, so they naturally know the consequences of doing so.

By then, not only this new handsome mercenary will be killed on the spot.

Moreover, even they may not be able to escape the involvement!

"Oh my god, why did the captain recruit such a stupid young man?"

Thinking of this, Rock even wanted to cry, and he pulled the young mercenary's sleeve.

While smiling playfully, he said to the black-armored captain: "Sir, this kid was talking to a villain just now. He disturbed your official duties. I hope you will forgive me."

However, the young mercenary broke free from Roque's arm. Instead of retreating, he stubbornly took a step forward.

"Hey, it's been a long time since I encountered such a tough opponent. I wonder if you can withstand my full attack?"

Seeing this scene, the captain of the black-armored soldiers laughed angrily. The long sword in his hand reflected a cold light, and he immediately came over with a group of black-armored soldiers.

However, at this moment.

A slender figure exuding an impressive aura slowly stood in front of the black-armored soldier captain.
