Chapter 559 Entering the City
The sailors will not refute Takumi's decision. This is the prestige of the captain. The Scandinavian habit is that after going to sea, the captain's order is above all else, and never go against the captain's words.

The group did not talk nonsense, rearranged their luggage to make themselves look less threatening, and secretly hid the thorns, just in case, and then came out from behind the sand dunes with their heads down, like other merchants traveling in the desert Same, walked towards the city ahead.

As Xiaobai walked, he observed the surrounding situation. There were many people walking around, but there were differences in appearance and skin color. Some went to the city on foot with big bags on their backs, and some rushed to the city with various mounts. Xiaobai was even more curious about the city in front of him. He speculated that this city should be very complicated, and it is very likely to be a central city in the surrounding area, or a trade distribution center.

The sailors are different from Xiaobai. Everything in the desert is unfamiliar to them. They have plundered the desert before, but they have never encountered such a big city. The appearance of the city makes them nervous, with cold eyes , I am cautious about everyone around me, for fear of being recognized as my identity, I dare not open my mouth to speak, because of the language barrier, if I reveal my identity because of the language, it will be a pain in the ass.

The city is built in a square shape, with four entrances in total. In front of each intersection, there is a spacious road paved with huge stone slabs, which gives people a very regular feeling. Walking on the road is very comfortable, and most of the road surface Very flat and not squishy.

As the flow of people moved forward, the city ahead became more and more clear.

The city wall is built entirely of repaired boulders. It is seven or eight meters high. You don’t need to test it. You can feel solid even if you just take a look at it. There are traces of weathering on the stone wall, which proves the history of the city. This is not a city Newly built cities.

The city gate is four meters high and rectangular, unlike the arc-shaped opening in Xiaobai's imagination. At the corners of the city gate, thick wooden squares are used as supports. For the sake of beauty, colorful dyes are also used on the wooden squares. Totems of various shapes were drawn.

Xiaobai saw the guards on the top of the city wall. They were wearing khaki armor, helmets, bows and arrows hanging from their waists, and spears in their hands. They stood upright and scanned everyone who arrived at the city.

The civilization in the desert has already given birth to bows and arrows. Xiaobai suddenly realized that he is indeed more advanced than the mainland. He used bows and arrows to fool many tribes on the mainland. It seems that there is no chance in the desert, but he doesn’t know them. How is the bow and arrow production technology, the distance is a bit far, it is not clear.

This city is not considered a majestic city. In the face of giant beasts and giant insects, the defense of the city wall is also limited. It is more used to defend against human attacks. In Xiaobai's mind, a majestic city should be able to defend against giant beasts, at least It can be blocked for a while, but the seven or eight-meter-high city wall is still easily collapsed by giant beasts.

But even if this city is not a majestic city, it is already very good. People who live here must feel more secure than those who live in other places.

As the flow of people moved forward, there were four guards at the entrance of the city gate. They did not charge entry fees or anything like that. They seemed to be just watching the gate and did not intend to harass pedestrians.

Xiaobai and the sailor squeezed into the crowd, their hoods covered their looks which were completely different from those of the desert people, they looked very low-key and did not attract the attention of the guards, so they easily sneaked into the city.

Passing through the gate of the city, Xiaobai discovered that there were actually two groups of soldiers standing at the gate of the city. There were sixteen of them. Their attire was the same as that of the guards on the city wall. They should be the second line of security at the gate.

The earth-yellow armor is split, divided into upper and lower parts. The upper body covers the chest, abdomen and back, providing protection for the fatal points. The lower part is shorts, reaching the thighs, and there are metal armors on the soldiers' forearms. Armguards, very strong looking.

The soldiers' arms and legs were bare and oily, probably with some kind of grease applied to prevent sunburn.

The physique of these soldiers is very strong, obviously different from the desert villagers they met before, they are not on the same level at all. If these guards were confronted with the sailors before, then the sailors might be the ones who were massacred, Xiao Bai is very happy now.

Entering the city from the city gate, the crowd appeared to be very orderly, and they all hurried on their way silently.

Xiaobai raised his head, opened his hood, and looked curiously at the buildings in this city.

The buildings in this city are very interesting. They are all square, regular, and of different heights, like mountains.

The material used to build the house is no longer ordinary adobe, but a very smooth white stone, which makes the whole city look dazzling.

Following the line of the house, Xiaobai slowly raised his head. Starting from the city gate, although the heights of the houses are different, they showed an upward trend. They became higher all the way to the center of the city, where there were two tall towers!

Even in the daytime, Xiao Bai could clearly see the flames burning on the tower, like two huge eyes overlooking the whole city.

Although he can't see the city on the other side, Xiaobai can also guess that it must be the same as his side, arranged from high to low.

"Damn it, the defense is so strict, how many people would it take to take down a place like this!" Hei Jiaoya furtively glanced around with his eyes, and couldn't help complaining.

"This is not a place we can raid." Takumi's face was also very ugly. He just sensed that there is a source of water here, but he didn't expect it to be such a place. If he knew it, he shouldn't have come here. This time, there will be nothing to gain.

"It's good to be here." Xiaobai looked away, put down his hood, and said in a low voice.

"What do you think?" Takumi glanced at the surrounding guards, lowered his hat, and followed the crowd to the front.

"Know that there is such a place earlier, so that we can be prepared. It will be a disaster when these guards from the province suddenly appear in front of us." Xiao Bai said in a low voice.

Hei Jiaoya and Takumi nodded after hearing this. It is true that they underestimated the desert before, and the success of the plunder made them think that the desert is simply a piece of fat. Can compete with them.

Now that they saw the city, it was different. They were vigilant in their hearts. Those guards were not easy to mess with at first glance, and they were probably even better at fighting than crazy sailors like them.

If these guards suddenly appeared in front of them one day, it would indeed be a huge trouble, and the village they plundered before is not far from here, only a dozen days away, it is very likely that the village is this part of the city.

Thinking of this, a thin layer of sweat broke out in Takumi's palms, it's really dangerous.
