Chapter 94: Thieves Who Never Return to the Tidal Flat (Part 2)
Chapter 94: The Thieves Who Have No Returned to the Tide Flat (Part 2)
The sound of trumpets sounded, and the militia quickly put leather armor on their bodies, ran under their feet and quickly climbed up the wall. When they climbed to the top, they found that the city lord's guard had already set up a formation on the wall, looking coldly at the robbers roaring on the farmland outside the wall. There was a gap between professional and amateurs.
"God of the Beast to greet your mother!" The militia were all from farmers. Seeing that the crops they had worked hard were trampled by the group of riding beasts, they were so angry that they started to curse on the spot. Some people threw the gun out without thinking.
The two sides were still six hundred feet away, and the militia brother who had not even reached the level of the second-level warrior was thrown. After half of the flight, a robber rushed over with a riding beast. The rider's four hooves stomped the gun and cut it off with a snap.
Ge Zheng climbed up the city and looked down. The robbers under the city were densely filled with five or six hundred people, with almost no formation. They rode on a monster that looked a bit similar to a pig. They were fast, and they made a unique robber shout out loud, and rushed towards the stone castle without fear of death.
The pig-like riding beast is a second-level monster called "Mi Xingshou". It not only runs like flying on land, but also has a slow speed in the swamp of Wuhui. Moreover, this kind of monster is easy to conquer and is the most ideal riding beast for robbers.
Ge Zheng frowned and asked the captain of the guard beside him: "Are they crazy? Just a few people, they are also coming to attack the stone fort?" The captain of the guard said: "Sir, they don't know that we are here. The conventional force in the fort should be three hundred militia..." The captain of the guard looked at the mayor beside him and did not say anything more. But the meaning was very obvious. If there were only three hundred militias, these 600 robbers who were used to killing would be more than enough to capture the stone fort that had not yet been fully built.
The city lord was really not interested in such a battle, so he waved his hand: "Destroy them." "Affect the order!" The captain of the guard fisted and took the order.
"Arrowman ready!" The guard captain's voice rang out on the wall. Behind the huge gray stones, three rows of soldiers raised their shields, tilting upwards at 60 degrees, in case the flying arrows shot from the city hurt the archers behind.
Thirty archers lined up in three rows, pulling their bows and opening arrows in sequence. The arrows made of black iron buzzed with the sound of the bowstrings, and the air shook, and the arrows drifted out of the castle in arcs.
There is no suspense in this kind of battle. The soldiers in the stone castle are well-equipped and well-trained, guarding the danger in front of them, and supporting magic behind them. The enemies under the city are a group of mobs, with a scattered discipline, and relying on a greedy and fierce aura, they are far inferior to the city lord's guard in all aspects, and they will definitely lose.
A strong rain of bows and arrows, and seven or eight magics were fought in the battle. Before the robbers could rush to the bottom of the wall, they were beaten to pieces and left behind more than a hundred corpses and fled in a hurry.
The enemy was easily defeated, and the fort was filled with joy. Especially those residents of the original Portland Town, there was no stone fort as a defensive barrier before, and every time a robber attack came, they were experiencing a disaster. Over the years, the robbers in the mudflats became more and more rampant. No relatives and friends died at the hands of the robbers. The robbers’ cruelty and viciousness, through these skin-cut pains, were deeply imprinted in the hearts of the residents.
But today, he easily defeated those enemies who seemed extremely fierce in the past. The city lord did great good things for Portland day by day.
The residents celebrated with their own home-made fruit wine, and even the students of the college were invited. The sound of musical instruments on the streets was as lively as if they were having a festival.
Ge Zheng was not so happy, and the same was true for the captain of the guard.
"Sir, do you think something is wrong?" said the captain of the guard. Ge Zheng nodded: "I think they only had a test today."
The captain of the guard nodded: "Sir, for your safety, please allow me to escort you back to Akhama City immediately!" Ge Zheng waved his hand: "No, there is still things that have not been completed here, and I can't leave."
He naturally had his own reasons to insist on it. Portland had built a solid stone fort, but the robbers still had to attack. There must be something in this stone fort that they were interested in.
After thinking about it, Ge Zheng had only one possibility: a metal mine cave.
He could not draw soldiers from Akhama City to protect himself, because that would cause Akhama City to be empty in defense, and perhaps the robbers would take the opportunity to attack Akhama City. He could only rely on this little power in his hand: two hundred well-equipped guards and three hundred militias with low combat power. However, his biggest bargaining chip was the students of Dongsheng Academy.
Ge Zheng sent someone to find Solgevellen and Amunia and said to the two: "Accompany me to the metal mine." Solgevellen immediately said: "I'll help you see it, you'd better not take risks." Amunia also meant this, but Ge Zheng shook his head and said stubbornly: "No, I have to go this time." He vaguely felt in his heart that the purpose of the robbers seemed not simple. If they were just to loot, they could make a big attack without having to take a small group of people in advance and sacrifice hundreds of subordinates to test the reality of the castle.
The robbers did this, obviously someone behind the scenes planned and led the man's purpose must be a metal mine. Ge Zheng had a premonition that he would definitely have unexpected discoveries in the mine.
How could he feel assured to hand over such an important thing to Solgwilen, a guy who is a little out of tune?
"Don't alarm anyone about this matter. Let's take action tonight. You two go back and prepare. Just tell me if you have any needs." Ge Zheng said. Amunia agreed and went out with Solgevellen.
The wisdom dragon felt that his bodyguard was very aggrieved. He not only wanted to ensure the personal safety of the protected person, but also listened to him everywhere and not to make him unhappy. When he saw anything, he had the dragon's body appeared, rushed up and stepped on it with a super big foot, and then sprayed it with a mouthful of dragon breath, completely burning it to ashes!
In the evening, Amunia came to Ge Zheng's room with his equipment. The latter stood with Solgevellen, who had returned to normal, and looked at Amunia in amazement.
I saw that the main warrior instructor of the Akhama City Branch was currently hanging two cross-section belts, covered with short swords three fingers wide, and each handle was arranged neatly, shining with people's eyes under the light of the magic lamp.
Two long swords were tied to his waist and a circle of long swords were on his back. Twelve long swords were inserted into a disc-shaped sword box, standing behind him like a peacock's tail with a screen open.
Two cloth straps were wrapped around her thighs, and two sick short swords were tied to them. Two short swords were also inserted into the leather boots on her calves.
If the student of that day was here, he might not have been surprised: it would not be an exaggeration to dress up like this with more than twenty violent men who could hold a drawer with more than twenty short swords.
However, Ge Zheng and Solgevellen were really scared by him. The intelligent dragon said wisely: "Amunya, you are such a genius. You actually thought of a good way to use weapons as armor..." Amunya's face turned red, and Ge Zheng frowned and said: "What are you doing with so many weapons?"
Amunia shrugged her shoulders and said, "Just be in case!" Ge Zheng pulled out a long knife from his waist and flashed the blade with his fingers.
"Zheng..."
Amunia and Solgevellen couldn't hear anything good or bad. Ge Zheng made a judgment as soon as he heard it: "It's not bad." He picked up several weapons on Amunia, and the quality was OK. He couldn't help but say strangely: "If you encounter ordinary situations, one of these weapons is enough to deal with. Why are you doing with so many of them?"
Amunia's face changed slightly: "But didn't you say this time is not the ordinary situation? I have encountered an extraordinary situation. All the weapons on my body were scrapped, and that time I almost died. So since then, I have been used to bringing more weapons." Ge Zheng looked at him: You have brought more "a few" items, clearly dozens of them.
"Then why don't you buy a few better weapons?" Solgviren asked. However, Amunia also had his own pride: "Ordinary weapons are not worthy of my trust!" In the answer, the warrior's confidence suddenly emerged. If it was just slightly better than ordinary weapons, it would be difficult to gain the full trust of a powerful warrior. What Amunia wanted was an extraordinary weapon, and he firmly believed that only such weapons would be worthy of all the trust of Torv himself.
Ge Zheng waved his hand: "After this matter, I will help you refine a weapon." Amunia was overjoyed. He had been thinking about this for a long time, but he was embarrassed to speak. Before he could say his words of thanks, Ge Zheng said again: "Don't thank me first, my price is not cheap!"
Amunia smiled: "Of course I know that works with positive and negative badges are not affordable to ordinary people." Ge Zheng was stunned and soon understood: Tai Chi patterns are symmetrical. In the eyes of foreigners, aren't they just right and reversed? It turns out that the people in the Star Refining World gave their badges such a name.
Ge Zheng nodded and said, "Then you prepare the gold coins first."
After dinner, the three of them were already full of stars. The metal mine was in the northeast direction of the castle. In the past, it was just a natural cave for children in the town to play. One day, an alchemist undoubtedly broke into the cave and found it was a bit suspicious. After some exploration, it was confirmed that it was a metal mine. However, the entrance of the cave was blocked by a stone wall. If you want to mine, you must open this stone wall.
I don't know what dangers would be, so the residents of the town were afraid to open the stone wall. This news was reported to the city officials of Akhama City. It was of great importance. Akhama City did not dare to neglect it and immediately reported to the empire.
Originally, the Empire wanted to send Knights and magicians to Akhama City to take charge, open the stone walls, and mine minerals; but later, a riot in the royal city suddenly occurred, and everything was temporarily put on hold until Ge Zheng got Akhama City.
The three of them quietly came outside the cave in the night, which was tightly guarded. Children who used to play here were not allowed to step closer. The cave was surrounded by a half-person-high magic fence. Anyone who attempted to cross the fence would be slaughtered by high-voltage currents. The fence surrounded the cave and only exposed an entrance in the southeast corner. Ge Zheng sent fifteen soldiers to guard it.
"Master Lord!" The guards saw Ge Zheng saluting together. Ge Zheng looked behind him, and the way he came was silent: "Precaution the door, no one is allowed to come in!"
"As for order!" the guards whispered. "Also, no matter what sound comes out, you are not allowed to come in!"
The entrance to the cave was sunken, leaving a large black half-moon-shaped mouth on the ground. Solgevellen looked at Ge Zheng in front and walked in, standing at the entrance of the cave and frowned slightly. Amunia pushed him from behind: "Let's go, why are you afraid? Hahaha..." The thick-lined warrior joked and walked in front of him.
Solgwiren was not afraid, how could the dragon have such a fear? The reason why he hesitated was because a strange feeling emerged in his heart. He couldn't tell whether this feeling was good or bad. He hesitated that he wanted to stop Ge Zheng from entering this mysterious cave, but there seemed to be another voice in his heart saying to him: Go, go, go, go in with him...
The figures of the two in front were dissolved into the darkness of the cave and could no longer be seen. Solgwilen suddenly curled his lips: Whether it is strength or wisdom, I can defeat all enemies, so what fear is there!
The arrogant intelligent dragon walked in with his head held high.
A little magic light flashed in front of it, like a candle in the wind. Not long after, the magic light shone in the cave. Ge Zheng held a magic torch in his hand, which was lighted up and handed to Amunia. Amunia held the torch with one hand and pulled out a long knife from his waist with the other. A shield floated in front of Ge Zheng, and the matrix shifted shield opened, overlapping into a shield to protect his front. He reached out and grabbed it in the air, and the newly refined eternal split turned into a red light and appeared in his hand.
Solgevellen had a bare hands and was full of passion just now, but now he was still passionate. He completely forgot that he should be a beast trainer.
Amunya looked at the light in Ge Zheng's hand, and his eyes showed an envious light. Ge Zheng smiled: "As long as you can afford the price, I can give you this thing now." Amunya licked his lips: "How much?" "For the sake of our colleagues, the cheap price is for you, five million."
The weapons that can fight against the wolf-shaped monster are much more effective than the super puppet warriors refined by the madman Solskjaer who summoned so many people. They sell five million gold coins, but they are not expensive at all, not to mention that Ge Zheng is intending to raise the price recently.
Amunia was stunned and shrank her neck: "I don't have that much money now, wait for me to get it home..." Ge Zheng was shocked and never expected that he would go around to find generous customers. It turned out that inadvertently, the most generous customers were around here!
"Can you want me to try?" asked Amunia. Ge Zheng paid great attention to cultivating potential customer base, let alone Amunia in front of him. He immediately handed over the eternal split: "Just try."
The cave was not deep, and as they spoke, the three of them had already walked to the bottom of the cave. Amunia happened to face the stone wall. The stone wall was pitch black. Even if the magic light shone on it, it was swallowed mercilessly. It looked inconspicuous, but after guessing, it knew that there was another mystery.
Amunia said, "Then I will use it to break the stone wall!" He acted to slash, but Ge Zheng stopped him and said, "Don't worry, let me set it up." There might be some danger hidden behind the stone wall. If you rashly break the stone wall without any protective measures, it may cause a disaster.
Ge Zheng had already made preparations. He took out a few magic crystal stone pillars and inserted them in different positions. Then he connected these magic crystal stone pillars with magic power. A light blue light curtain rose from the ground, instantly covering the entire cave, and even the stone wall was covered with a layer.
Chapter completed!
