Lord of War

  There is a camp about a few hundred meters outside Hongye Town.

  The piling in this camp is very strong-piling is a very advanced knowledge, the depth of the pile is stable, and the shallow pile is light. The former is a common pile method for strongholds and fixed military camps, and the pegs must be changed every year. Only in this way can the camps, horses, fences and wooden walls surrounding the pegs be broken so easily; while the latter is The practice of temporary camps, because only shallow piles are more convenient when pulling out the camp, and the piles are pulled and driven repeatedly, and the pile nails are also worn to a certain extent, so the site selection of temporary camps has very strict specifications.

But in this camp, the ground is plain and hard, not soft grass, and the pegs have been beaten very flat. All this proves that this camp is not a temporary camp, but more like a fixed point. The military barracks, or it is a long-term stronghold.

  In fact, this camp was originally built by Puda for the Hongye Town militia. After all, the town is only a residential town, not a military facility, so there is not much space for activities and utilization. Therefore, in order to better train the militia of Hongye Town, Puda spent some energy and time to teach the children by hand. How the young guys in the town build camps, and this is the first lesson taught by the Hongye Town militiamen.

Afterwards, they lived in this camp for a relatively long period of time-in order for these young people to develop a habit, Puda told them to live in this camp. Anyone who went home privately without permission, Will be expelled from the militia.

  This situation continued until the arrival of the Harbind snake, so this camp became the stronghold of the Harbind snake. As for the militia group, because the relationship with this group of mercenaries is not harmonious, they did not continue to live in this camp, but chose to return to the small town. It was just the habit that they had cultivated in the camp before. They didn't lose it, they still insisted on daily training spontaneously.

  At this time, in the main tent of the camp, a burly middle-aged man, Da Ma Jindao, was sitting on a chair in the middle.

This middle-aged man has a sturdy face. He doesn't have a beard, so his face doesn't look very old, except that there is a scar on his right cheek that is ten centimeters long like a centipede, which makes him look even more extravagant. ferocious. He is wearing a thin shirt, and the texture of the clothes is pretty good, but it is obvious that the price may not be too low, but I don’t know for what reason he is wearing trousers on the lower body, but they are not made of the same material. , On the contrary, it was a pair of coarse linen pants, which made him look unsuitable.

   "Who are those people?"

  The man’s voice is a bit hoarse, not the low tone of the vicissitudes of life, but more like the frosted feeling of the vocal cords being destroyed.

  When the man opened his mouth and raised his head, he could clearly see that there was also a scar of a ferocious centipede in his throat. It's just that this scar is even more terrifying and slender than the one on his face, almost extending from the left neck to the right neck, but even with such a tragic and terrifying injury, it still did not take the middle-aged man's life. This is not so much a miracle as it is a miracle.

  This man is the commander of the Harbind’s Serpent Mercenary Corps, Harbind.

  Almost no one knows the origin of this man, only know that when he formed a mercenary regiment, his reputation began to spread quickly in the northern part of the Kingdom of Darbion. Only a few early members of Harbind’s Snake knew that their commander had participated in the Wilderness Expeditionary Army, and because of the failure of a local war, he was captured alive by a tribe. The scars were left after being abused by that tribe.

   But even for these early members, they didn’t know how their leader escaped.

  It’s just maybe because of the abuse he has suffered, so Harbind’s personality is extremely **** and cruel, and he must be retributed to others, and his methods are cruel. However, because of this, his mercenary regiment was targeted by a large mercenary regiment in the northern region, which led to a weakening of its scale. For this reason, he even had to leave the northern region and ran to the south. Surviving.

  As a result, he didn't expect that, by accident, his mercenary group was hired by a small town.

Hongye Town was regarded by Habind as his possession and base camp on that day. The revenge plan he conceived in his heart is only just getting started. How could it be possible to bring this to him because of the sudden arrival of a lord? Many small towns of income are sent out. In fact, if it weren't because of the importance of Hongyezhen, with Habind's character, when Puda came to fight with him that time, he would not be merciful, but would break his neck directly.

  The poisonous snake is originally good at forbearance and hibernation, and will only give the enemy a fatal blow at the right time, in order to kill it with one blow.

  Habinder can see the importance of Puda to the residents of Hongye Town, and he can also see that Puda is a real person, and of course he values ​​these militias more. In the past year, in addition to searching for an objective number of coins, he also tried every means to get close to the militia. If he can add these people to his Habind snake, then he can even Take down another town.

  As long as the power of the two towns is combined, it is not a problem to take down Dabron Town.

  It’s a pity that after all this year’s attempts, he still failed. But fortunately, the other two small towns he targeted have not changed much, and even I heard that Dabron will almost become a dead town.

  But what he never expected was that Hongye Town unexpectedly came to a great noble guest from a wild land today, and he forced the heavy hammer away in a few words. He didn't even know what was going on. He only knew that the hammer took people to Hongye Town to find trouble with a few outsiders. As a result, after a while, the hammer came back, and then he took away his own things. After he was done, he left without even saying a word, and the truth of the matter was that the people who followed the hammer came back to report.

"I don't know who it is." Several people who can be regarded as the old Harbind snake said. Rushed over."

"It seems that the old man caused all this!" A haze flashed in Harbind's eyes, "Since the old man dared to do this, then I have nothing to worry about....Call all those who can fight. People, we went to bloodbath Hongye Town, and today we are going to make this town a real red town!"

  ...Not to mention that the members of Harbind’s Snake have already begun to gather, preparing to really fight with the small town’s mercenaries with real swords and real guns.

  At the mayor’s house in Hongye Town, Puda looked at the two sitting on the chairs in the lobby with a look of surprise.

   These two people were the so-called VIPs he had only seen in the Sunset Red Tavern before and the girl who followed him and didn't know what her identity was. Only the burly big man was not here. So Puda looked a little curious and began to look around, as if he wanted to see the shadow of the big man.

   "Anno is not here." The distinguished guest Sean seemed to have seen Puda's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "The only people who came to visit were me and Cecilia."

  "Have you already met?" At this moment, an old man sitting in this hall finally asked.

   "I just met at a pub called Xiyanghong." Xiao En laughed, "This one has a sense of justice."

Hearing someone complimenting Puda, the old man's face showed a smile on his face, with a glorious look: "Puda, this kid, it's not that I boast, no one in our entire town of Puda does not praise him... ...But you said that the Red Tavern at Sunset, Puda, didn't you just bring the militia with you? You said it was the mercenaries who had trouble finding an outsider. What happened?"

  The following sentence means that the mayor has turned his head and looked at Puda with a nervous expression on his face.

"Uncle, I just want to tell you about this." Puta glanced at Xiao En, and seemed a little hesitant. I told the story again, but Puda really didn't have any language talents, so it didn't sound good at all, and I couldn't even remember the names of those tribes, and it turned into a summary in the end.

   "The heavy hammer has gone."

"You mean, the heavy hammer escaped from the snake of Habind?" The old mayor was a little unbelievable, and then after seeing Puda nodding, he turned his head to look at Sean, and said with some horror: "Oh, little place. There is nothing to entertain, it really makes you laugh. I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

   "It's nothing." Xiao En gave up, but his face was not "nothing", but a dark coolness that almost anyone could see.

  It’s just that the old mayor and Puda didn’t feel disgusted when they saw Shaun’s ethical example. Instead, they thought the young man looked pretty good.

"Actually." After a few more polite and humble sentences with each other, then Xiao En began to cut into the theme of this trip, "I am visiting the mayor this time, just to learn about the situation of the snake of Habind. .... What is going on with this mercenary group? How do you feel, it seems that you are controlled instead."

   "Hey, this matter is not complicated in terms of..."

So, the old town mayor started talking about the things from hiring the snake of Habind to the antagonism with the militia in front of Sean, and then mentioned that the fight between Puda and Harbind was defeated by Puda. As a result, the entire town was completely under the control of Habind, and it was said that the receipt of the Tonis Fortress document finally caused the two sides to tear their skins a few days ago.

  I have to say that the old mayor’s ability to tell stories is much better than that of Purdah. In Sean’s view, at least the old mayor already has the professional ability to acquire a bard.

In the past year, under the dictation of the old town mayor, it only took less than 30 minutes to tell everything, and the context and order were clear, and it was not confusing at all. Sean could not even ask questions. Now, all he wants to know is already understood.

   "In this way, you have no objection to the jurisdiction of the town that the new lord will have?"

"As long as we can give us asylum, who will oppose it?" The old mayor sighed, "I went to find mercenaries to help defend, wasn't it just to seek asylum and self-protection? As long as the new lord can do what the lord can do Responsibilities, how can we oppose who will rule? We just hope that the new lord will not be too harsh. In the past year, the income of the town has basically been robbed by the poisonous snake of Habind, and the other people in the town have only I can barely mix food and clothing, and there will be no more money left."

  Hearing the words of the old mayor, Sean nodded silently.

The current situation is already in his and Cecilia’s expectations, so for failing to receive taxes from Hongye Town or Puda Town this quarter, Sean is already mentally prepared-from The first pot of gold obtained on the territory is not so easy to obtain, but the surrender of the town is more to allow the territory to have a safe source of funds.

  What Sean really hopes is that these small towns should not have too strong sense of resistance. Otherwise, even if he could regain these three small towns, he would need to use some means he didn't want to use, which would be extremely detrimental to the development of a territory. Fortunately, Hongye Town does not seem to have such a sense of resistance, and the ownership of Hongye Town has not been shown in the current lord system, probably because of the existence of Habind's Snake.

  In other words, as long as the snake of Habind is solved, Hongye Town will probably become the first town in his lord system where he can view detailed data.

  Looking at Sean nodding here, Puda, who had been sitting next to watching Sean, suddenly said, "Are you the new lord sent by the marquise?"
