Son of the Olden Days - Chapter 644 Jackals
The city of Freedom, outside the south gate, an abrupt magical street lamp draws a large area in the dark wilderness.
Now the city of Liberty has gradually improved its defenses in all aspects, and the importance of it has increased by several levels in the current situation.
The sturdy stone city wall is gradually tainted with the breath of the years, and a large section of the city wall is erected with bow and arrow towers and observation decks, and dark rangers are always watching the movement of the wilderness. The gate here has long since gone from being guarded by two people at the beginning to now having eight people in a rotation.
The reason why a street lamp was placed outside the city gate to illuminate was Saul’s suggestion.
Nowadays, the enemies in the wilderness to be guarded against are mainly ghosts, and monsters will almost never attack the city again, or many monsters in the wilderness may have become prey of ghosts. Therefore, the main targets of urban defense are visible dead and evil spirits.
When Saul first proposed it, everyone still felt that getting a street lamp outside the city gate felt a bit nondescript, but after getting used to it, everyone found that this was really a brilliant idea. Put a brand new magic crystal in it, enough for a magic street lamp to continue to illuminate for two or three years.
Normally, there is no need for constant maintenance, and the snow-white brightness of the street lamp is far greater than the stable lighting range of a bonfire. A magic crystal for a few years is far more cost-effective than burning a bonfire for a few years, not to mention the logging labor that extends behind the wood needed to maintain the bonfire.
So now, except for the coastal direction to the north, a street lamp has been erected in the other three directions where the city of Liberty has a gate.
Publicity is a bit of publicity, but it is undeniable that this has brought a lot of convenience to the work of urban defense.
At this moment, outside the south gate of the Freedom City, a group of people stood in the bright light of the street lamp. The leader was a young man in hunting outfits wearing a cloak, followed by spirit eliminators, wizards, swordsmen, and various mercenaries, followed by a group of sporadic civilians.
Seeing these people's face covered with dust, it is obvious that they have walked a long way.
Judging from the direction they came from, it should have crossed the former site of Kennazzi Territory and came from farther south. Everyone had only a vague impression of what Darren territory the other party said, and it should have been at least more than a month away.
On the Liberty City side, the old goblin and Sol are here, Sinel belongs to daily follow Sol to join in the fun, and Stanter and Diller come to join in the fun. The intention of this group of people has been reported to the hands of everyone, they are here to borrow food, or to ask for food.
The other party's excuse was that he wanted to borrow a batch of grain from the City of Freedom to survive the current predicament, and return the original amount after the harvest next year in the territory. The old goblin and others just listened in silence while holding their hands, but in fact they all regarded it as a joke in their hearts.
This is obviously a group of rogues who are unable to repay. Since you have your own territory, where did the autumn harvest of your territory go this year? Since neither of you can afford an autumn harvest this year, why do people believe that you will have an autumn harvest next year? Is there something out of nothing?
In today's situation, the problem of food scarcity has fully erupted.
So this group of people said they were borrowing on the surface, but they were just asking for nothing.
Saul didn't care about the other party's jokes, no matter whether it was borrowed or grabbed, he always had to make up an excuse to look good on the surface. After all, the size of the City of Freedom is here, and a few three-legged cats want to grab a sword while holding a sword. Obviously they want too much, so they can only pick a slightly more civilized version.
This group of people is probably not from Darren Territory, they should have come from somewhere farther away, looting all the way, it is possible that Darren Territory is one of their looting targets. The story can be told how you want, and there is no need to prove it right now.
Saul is interested in the composition of the members of their team, and wants to see if there are any high-level spirit removers that can be absorbed. It's a pity that Saul stepped forward and interspersed in the crowd. There were only fourth-order swordsmen and the like, the highest third-order mages, and the second-order eliminators.
Obviously, only the group can fill the low-end combat power of the population, and Sol expressed the lack of interest.
Especially seeing the cold gaze of the wolf they were on guard, Thor was even more convinced that this was a group of vicious dogs looting along the way.
Today’s wilderness says that danger is certainly extremely dangerous, but people are fleeing in order to survive, and this has become a probability. If you're lucky, as long as you don't run into big guys like regular evil spirits halfway through, it will be enough if there are a few spirit eliminators in the team to beat dead spirits.
"I am Sodath, the eldest son of Lord Rubin in the Territory of Darren. I have met all the adults." Sodath performed a noble courtesy.
Seeing Sol's behavior wandering in the team, Sodasi was very unhappy, because Sol's strutting made him feel like he was selecting animals. However, his fourth-order strength cannot perceive the opponent's position, which inevitably makes Sodas feel a little jealous.
Seeing Thor's inconspicuous black coat, he seemed to be an adventurer or a lord's guard, but he couldn't perceive Thor's rank. He also felt that maybe it was just the dude of the lord's family in this territory, and there was no rank.
This guy is definitely not the lord, because Sodas saw the city gate guard report to the old guy opposite, obviously that old guy is the lord. So before clarifying the identities of the people on the opposite side, Sodas did not show any unhappy expressions on his face.
"Go elsewhere, now the world is difficult, and our city of freedom has no surplus." After reading about it, Saul waved his hand indifferently. Although Sodas introduced himself, Thor didn't mean to introduce each other at all. The etiquette has a shit.
"Excuse me, who is your Excellency?" Sodas's tone was also a little unhappy when he was rejected directly.
The lord on the opposite side hasn't spoken yet, what kind of thing are you?
"It's just a small person, don't worry about it, you leave quickly." Saul waved his hand and walked back.
"My lord, I beg you for some food!" Suddenly, a man in ragged clothes and a farmer rushed out from the back of the Sodath team, leading a seven or eight-year-old girl. The guy yelled and approached, leading the little girl to kneel directly in front of Sol.
There was a fierce light in Sodasi's eyes, but he did not move rashly.
Like Sol guessed, they did looting all the way, and the limbs of the leaders along the way were fairly healthy, and they were responsible for helping the team to carry the baggage. The so-called baggage weight is not much, looting and consumption along the way, there is only a carriage and a cart left.
Now that the man rushed out with his daughter suddenly, Sodas was worried that he would talk too much, and affect his plan for borrowing food.
Of course, borrowing food is just an excuse. Sodas really hit the idea of Freedom City.
He was indeed the son of a lord, but it was a thing of the past, and he was actually the second son in the family, and the lord's position had nothing to do with him. Later, the territory fell into trouble due to food problems, and the leaders who could not see a way to survive began to flee with their families.
It stands to reason that for the situation at that time, a more appropriate way to survive was for the lord to take his subordinates to the main city of Allantis in the northern territory to seek refuge. But taking advantage of the chaos, Sodas killed his father and brother, and took the seat of the coveted lord himself.
The troubled times are very good, Sodas thinks.
When the territory is dragged down by the food problem, Sodas can only lead people to abandon the territory and start running for survival like most people.
As a small territory around the city of Asokeland, the best place to go at the time was nothing more than to seek refuge in Asokeland nearby.
But Sodas chose another one, looting all the way from near Asokelan along the way, Sodas suddenly discovered that his Tier 4 strength can actually do a lot of things. The troubled times made him feel that the boring life of a few years earlier was simply in vain, and the outside world was even more exciting.
So he quickly gathered a large number of villains along the way.
Isn't this kind of life fragrant?
He knew about the City of Freedom, and he had even heard of it a few years earlier. It was a famous big nail on the ground in the North, but he had only vaguely heard of it. After all, there is a large area separated from each other, so there is no need to pay too much attention.
However, as the situation on the mainland deteriorated, Sodas gradually felt that groundlessness was obviously impossible. The pleasure of bullying civilians is far from offsetting the fatigue of wandering all day long, so Sodasi had to look back and reconsider the problem of finding a place to stay.
As long as you gnaw on a territory where you can store food as a base, you can bully your surroundings all day long. That kind of life, just imagine can make people excited. So out of this beautiful idea, Sodasi began to focus on the surrounding medium-sized territory.
Asokelan, one of the three main relay cities in the north, Sodas didn't dare to touch it, his dog's head was not so hard.
But the City of Freedom is different. During the looting along the way, it was asked from several business travelers that the city of Freedom was actually only an old guy named Braun of Tier 4. Sodas suddenly had a lot of ideas, and after sending the business trip to the gods, he quickly called the villains to discuss matters.
A mere Tier 4 can actually sit on a medium-sized territory, and Sodas thinks this is his best opportunity.
His own Tier 4, plus a Tier 4 deputy, he has a group of Tier 3 who dare to kill, and the total combat power of nearly 40 people, why can't he touch a city of freedom. Just gnaw down the city of freedom, and the good life is beckoning everyone.
So along the way, Sodasi began to collect information about the Free City carefully, and Zero Zero always accumulated some.
What Sodas didn't know was that the outside world's intelligence on Freedom City had actually been missing for a long time. Perhaps in the early days when the ghosts were raging, real-time synchronization of intelligence could be achieved through business travel and intelligence points placed in various territories.
But after the situation is chaotic, who can take care of whom.
So when the information on this route was collected, Sodas, who was holding the fragmentary information, was very excited, and he was full of confidence in his heart.
After arriving in the City of Freedom, the most reasonable thing is to place an intelligence officer into the city to investigate. But Sodasi thought the news feedback cycle was too long, and the underlying intelligence might not get any core secrets, so Sodasi decided to do it himself.
His idea is very simple, in the name of borrowing grain to directly contact with the top leaders of Freedom City. I want to know what to look at directly and intuitively. Anyway, I don’t expose my hostility. You will never kill my people just because I borrowed money. This is not in line with diplomacy.
That’s why I’ve been going around and around, and now I have the trick of borrowing food. It’s not important to borrow or not, and the main purpose is to observe.
After seeing the other party's high-level composition, Sodas became more confident.
There are only five people on the opposite side. The lord is a middle-aged old thing, two funny aliens, a fool in a black coat, and a deserted temperament... Well, the beautiful white dress beauty, maybe a mage Or an exterminator?
Good Master! It was more flavorful when riding under the hips, and Sodas felt the involuntary heat in his lower abdomen.
Of course, Sodas knew very well that the group of people on the opposite side could not be the complete power in the entire territory, and there should be some reserved in the territory that did not show up. But these are not important, as long as you know who the lord is and what rank is it is enough.
Because basically every territory on this continent has the highest rank of the lord, perhaps there will be two outstanding sons in the bloodline that are higher than the father, but it is not common. Theoretically, the thugs raised by the subordinates will not be higher than the lord's rank, which is not conducive to the rule.
So Sodas thinks that as long as he sees the lord, the average rank of the opposite core team can be almost deduced.
