I have a shelter
Chapter 242: Green Water City (5K)
Standing in the corridor of the city gate, George held onto the wood on his horse and looked at the team that kept going in and out of the city gate with a strange look on his face, wondering whether he had gone to the wrong place.
Is this really the front station of Bishui City? The Fallen Leaf City used to defend the Bishui Fortress?
Logically speaking, it is normal to strictly prohibit entry and exit, right?
To be honest, because this place is connected to the 'Sennas River', the exchange of supplies is very normal. But with the gates coming and going, it is impossible to tell that they are so lax because of wartime needs.
Aren't you afraid that monsters will suddenly rush into the city gate from the fog? !
This made George full of questions about the battle situation on the front line.
In any case, Tanya and others are arriving soon. Since I arrived here in advance, I will inquire about the news.
In fact, the few of them had no intention of going through the city gate. This high city wall was useless in this team of wizards and assassins. But after seeing the situation at the city gate, he changed his mind.
‘I wonder if the documents compiled by Anthony can allow the legion to sail into the city gate smoothly. Seeing the army coming, these guards shouldn't be like this anymore. George looked at the guys hanging around with Aji, as well as a few passers-by who were stopped from the crowd and sent here to be questioned. , I felt like I had eaten fly excrement.
My group was stopped because I looked rich.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his coat that was stained with wind, sand and muddy water. Then he turned back and looked at Lorna's little black face and messy hair - she looked like a little boy, and she looked like a little boy. There is the sloppy old tramp Roosegaarde. It feels like this group of people is more like refugees than rich people.
I don’t know how the guard smelled the gold coins on his body.
In the mist in the distance, a group of people came with a convoy, as if they were leaving the city. After seeing it, the city gate guards immediately surrounded him.
The knight at the head of that team was arrogant and arrogant. But the guards did not dare to offend too much. After he showed the document in his hand with the seal of 'Lord of Earl Leiden', the guards quickly drove away the crowd crowded in the corridor, pushed away the horses, and let the team go. .
No questions were asked about the carriages covered by oilcloths.
George heard the guard captain's address to the leading knight, as if he was the son of a certain marquis. The noble's southern accent and the flags carried by the team were definitely not from the Kingdom of Rodenk.
After watching these people leave, Aji also came back. George noticed that this guy's money bag was full, and the little guy with a smile on his face also had a wine bag in his hand.
At the guy's command, several guards picked out George and others and put them into the city.
Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, he couldn't believe that he had actually slipped in like this.
"Boss, I just had a chat with those guys. I heard that there are a lot of people coming to support. It seems that not only the western region, but also many lords from the south have brought people over. So Luoye City is now overcrowded." Aji said: "The front line It seems that the situation is great, and these guys want to come here to get a piece of the pie. It is said that the noble coalition has marched eastward to Chishan, but the Duke's main force is still there. "
He continued: "But what is a little strange is that Earl Leiden is not from our Kingdom of Rodunk!"
"What's Earl Leyton's last name?" George said after thinking for a moment.
"I didn't pay attention to ask." Aji shrugged and said, "Boss, you have to know that surnames are very strange to me, so if you didn't remind me, I almost forgot that nobles have surnames. "
Aji is considered to be from the lowest level of the poor. As an orphan, he started stealing things to make a living when he was seven or eight years old. Like him, many veterans in the shelter do not have last names.
"Aggie, don't be discouraged." George patted Aggie on the head and said: "Think of it better, Aggie, at least you don't have a father who will beat you up after drinking. Well, strictly speaking,' "Aji' is not a name either."
"Boss, you are so considerate!" Aji rolled his eyelids and looked at his stingy boss who had been subjected to domestic violence since he was a child. "What's the use of asking his last name? Do you want to cast a spell on Lorna? Do you want me?" Go back and ask?"
"If you know the surname, you will be able to understand the person's identity, relatives, family background and even family history. But there is no need to go further. You know, I am only half-experienced in the knowledge that nobles should have. He was sent to the Holy Court at a very young age." George scratched his chin and said, "Roosegaarde doesn't study history. I guess Anthony doesn't have time to help me look it up. Let Roosegaarde go." Just ask, and you’ll know everything.”
He continued: "But I think this guy may have been recommended by the nobles. The location of Luoye City is a bit special, and it is the first place where resources from the south come. So this outsider guarding here must be up to something. It seems that the situation has changed a lot in these days, otherwise the Duke would not let outsiders manage the logistics of Luoye City."
"However, although there are so many people here, can these noble coalition forces do it?" Looking at some noble private soldiers passing by, Aji curled his lips and said: "They are simply militia! All the noble soldiers are better than him! "
"Don't look down on our Second Regiment. Martin and Wolpe led the old soldiers to defend against so many refugee and corpse waves that attacked the city walls." George smacked his lips and said.
Indeed, although the Black Lake old soldiers were established late and their personalities seemed very bad, they had experienced many tests of blood and fire. In the two months before leaving the valley, they filled up the scavenger ghost and blood giant potions. Some Black Lake Knights with higher quality also took the "Power of Snow and Frost" and "Power of Eight Arms".
As for the equipment, it is also at the level of the Black Pearl Force. In the hands of the nobles, it is absolutely elite. And the sergeants are all heirlooms of the noble knights, which are better than the equipment of most noble knights. Although the divine runes are not printed on the outside, the "barrier" is engraved inside the armor-although this set of divine runes has no special effects and cannot be seen. But the shelter power provided is real.
With this kind of strength, they can easily sweep the periphery of the cemetery like the original Wolf Slayer Corps, and even go deep into the cemetery. In comparison, the old soldiers have not experienced such a strong test of war, and have not developed a military spirit.
Therefore, "new recruits" is just the name given to the old soldiers by the shelter. And how can the shelter army born in the hell-level difficult valley be compared with the noble army in the greenhouse outside? What's more, the people in each legion have died many times in the parade. The scenes they have seen are not less than those brave border generals who have been fighting for many years.
Even if we don't look at the equipment, the ideological awareness and fighting will alone are not at the same level-even the old soldiers, the blasphemers are walking gold coins in their eyes.
Adding these one hundred senior judgment knights, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is half a temple. And this is also the strength that George wants the valley to show-using the blood rebellion and uniting the priests of Yongfeng City is just about the same.
And with this opportunity, he also wanted to explore the bottom of this black tide and train these "new recruits" by the way.
As he talked with Aji, the three of them had entered the central street.
There were many vehicles on the road, full of supplies, but it seemed that they were transported from Bishui City, not to Bishui City. It seemed that as the front line continued to advance eastward, supplies began to move eastward.
There were also many pedestrians on the road, monks were everywhere, and prostitutes, vendors, and thieves were everywhere-this meant that there seemed to be many noble troops stationed here.
And many of them should be southern troops, otherwise, given the situation in the western border, these prostitutes and vendors who like to follow the army should not come.
'Looking at this, maybe the gathered garrisons here will go east in the near future. I don't know if it was the order from the duke or the leader of the noble coalition'
Judging from the number and enthusiasm of the southern lords, it seems that the latter is more likely.
With a gurgling sound, George heard his belly rumble.
"Boss, let's eat first - I'll ask for directions." Aji grabbed a child from behind and took the purse he wanted to hide.
A few big men in the crowd looked over here with unfriendly faces. Aji stretched out a palm, bent his fingers, and made a strange gesture to them. After seeing it, the guys were stunned at first, and then seemed to recognize something, and actually got into the crowd with a look of horror.
Patting the child's head, Aji took out a copper eagle from his purse and gave him a copper eagle: "Know the rules, kid. We are not 'raw goods'."
"Grandpa, it's Grandpa" The child seemed to know Aji's jargon very well, and was very cunning. After seeing his gesture, he also knew that this was the kind of person who was most untouchable. After communicating, he led the way.
"The best tavern? I know! It's over there in the blacksmith area. Follow me. It's foggy again today. It's easy to get lost!"
After the rain last night, the mud on the ground was mixed with a foul smell. There were people doing all kinds of things in the corners, but no one was starving to death. This was very surprising. It seemed that the situation in this city was better than that in the rich area of Yongfeng City - if you don't look at the bad roads and those "lower class" who can eat but don't have a decent life, it is indeed the case.
From the children's mouths, George and his friends learned that those who couldn't make it had left long ago - becoming the refugees heading south or west. Those who stayed here all had ways to make a living or wanted to make a fortune.
The arrival of the nobles made the whole city rich, and before that, the status of Luoye City was also extremely special.
Luoye City, in fact, is the name of the Western Territory. In the prosperous world in the east, people like to call it Luoye Town.
But looking at the bustling streets full of people and horses, George felt that it seemed more appropriate to call it a city. But maybe, it's just because he is a bumpkin in the West.
Indeed, the West is a bumpkin. Some noble ladies in the East even thought that the people living in the West were nomads.
If the West is a wasteland, then the Blue Water City is one of the most prosperous cities in the entire Rodunk Kingdom.
It is also a major fortress in the central part of the kingdom.
To the north is the Dragon Ridge Mountains, and to the north is the polar wasteland. To the southeast is the 'Blue Wave Strait'. The city is built on the 'Sennas River' that runs through the Dragon Ridge Mountains into the sea. After crossing the long river and crossing the 'Violet' Plain, it is the 'Landry' Kingdom, known as the Sea Horseman.
So, Bishui City is not only a major road between the east and west of the Kingdom of Rodunk, but also a major gateway between the Southern Kingdom and the capital. Its status is self-evident.
In peacetime, because of its unique location and convenient waterways, it is the largest trading place in the Kingdom of Rodunk. In times of war, if the Southern Kingdom does not want to touch the troublesome Grand Duke Yongfeng, it will march here.
The ruler here is also very special. At first, he was an earl who was related to Grand Duke Yongfeng, but had a close relationship with the royal family. Later, one of his descendants became the husband of the contemporary queen, and after that, the queen's second son, Duke of Violet, naturally inherited the earl's position and this land here.
After that, under the auspices of the Duke of Violet of each generation, the center of Violet began to gradually tilt towards the Bishui City with a better terrain, and slowly became a famous trade center and fortress.
If you look at the map carefully, you will find that the pattern of the buildings of the acropolises near the Bishui Fortress just acts as a copper wall between the east and the west.
Fallen Leaf City is such an acropolis. Because the largest docks are occupied by more than half here, there are also a lot of stocks here. After the disaster, the currency here and the south has not been cut off, which makes the situation here always good.
Although the fall of the capital once shrouded the fear here, the work of Vic White and others has kept Bishui City and nearby cities safe.
After that, the Duke and the coalition forces of the princes rushed here in batches. At that time, the whole city was strictly controlled by the Duke. And because it was taken care of by the reformist monks. So it is also very clean.
When the Duke went to Bishui City, it was still strictly controlled. Until the noble coalition came here and won a great victory. After that, in the dirty business of politics, the mayor of the Fallen Leaf City was replaced.
As the front line won victory after victory, the main task of Fallen Leaf City was no longer to serve as a retreat, but to support the front line. This made the place look very chaotic with people coming and going. It didn't look like a fortress at all.
However, in the eyes of the nobles, the area around Bishui City was not really a front line. With the eastward advance of the coalition forces, it had retreated to the second line.
In the eyes of many people, this gathering place for supplies was also full of gold.
The knocking sound of the surrounding sheds brought George back to his thoughts. There was heat and mist everywhere. Many wandering knights and mercenaries were bargaining with blacksmiths, which was very lively.
Rona was chatting with Aji, and seemed very curious about the gesture he made when he scared away the gangsters just now.
"During the holidays, Frank and I joined the 'Nightmare Brotherhood', a well-known throat-cutting organization, and that gesture was the symbol of the brotherhood." Aji said.
In front of the tavern, the kid wanted to ask for a glass of wine, but Aji grabbed his ear and drove him away.
There are actually many taverns in Fallen Leaf City, but the one in the Blacksmith Workshop area is indeed the largest because it is close to the water.
Although the tavern in the shelter has become very large due to the concentration of the population in the entire valley, its scale is still somewhat different from that of the "Pot of Senas".
Pot has three meanings. One refers to fine wine, one refers to the capacity of the flow of people coming and going, and the other is related to prostitutes - in fact, it is an annex to the largest brothel in the city.
After George walked into the door, he saw a passage on the side of the spacious hall - this passage is looking at a certain area of the brothel next door.
It is already noon, but in fact the prostitutes have just woken up. He couldn't help looking over there, and the scene inside suddenly gave him a strange feeling.
The decoration over there is much more luxurious than this side, and it looks like the living room in a manor house. There are various sofas, many paintings and interesting antiques hanging on the walls. It doesn't look like a place to receive guests, but rather a salon for nobles to rest and chat. Or a club for nobles.
The prostitutes who just got up and dressed up were lazy and doing all kinds of things. There were a few nobles who got up early, and they didn't button their chests, and they were leaning on the sofa and joking with the girls.
George blinked and suddenly understood what that strange feeling was - home.
'I used to study abroad, and I didn't live in this kind of place most of the time, did I? ! '
Indeed, he was very familiar with this kind of place, and he knew that there was no 'live broadcast' on this floor, and the really interesting place was upstairs
"Boss, boss" Aji shouted awkwardly.
George turned around and saw that Rona and others were already sitting in their seats, looking at him with a weird look on their faces.
He coughed awkwardly, sat down and said, "Don't you think this kind of building is very advanced?"
Aji and Rona rolled their eyes fiercely.
This tavern is very spacious and divided into several areas. There is also a passage leading to the brothel next door. George sat in his seat and looked over there, and saw the people dressed up in fancy clothes.
There are many nobles who come here to consume. If these rich gentlemen do not spend the night in the place arranged by Earl Leiden, they will stay in the brothel.
Many blacksmiths are also frequent visitors to brothels and taverns. They are also the most popular people besides the nobles. After all, blacksmiths are not only of high status, but also very rich, and are truly upper-class people.
There is another type of people left, whose pockets are sometimes ample and sometimes clean. Most of them are wandering knights and mercenaries. Most of them live in taverns and occasionally go to brothels for consumption.
There used to be a lot of people in these two places, but now it may be because of the price. The rich go to brothels, and the poor are unwilling to live in taverns. Find a place to stay overnight. So the tavern at noon is a little deserted.
After rejecting a few prostitutes who came to stroll around, George and others had the first hot meal in these days.
After struggling for a long time, the chapters are a little incoherent. I still put them together.
