The strongest lord system

Chapter 22 Small City

On a trail in a forest.

A group of more than 20 people is constantly moving forward.

"We are going to Bear Eagle City, right?" A young man on a horse asked.

The guide walking in front replied: "Yes, my lord, you can provide trade. The nearest city to our Stormwind City is Bear Eagle City."

This group of people was led by Allen to purchase things. After preparing for a few days, he led the team to set off.

He led the team with Carl, who was in charge of security, and a dozen recruits he selected. In the recruit training in Stormwind City, Karl had already handed over to his deputy captain.

In addition, when the dwarf Madoran knew that Alan was going out to buy things, he also asked to go with him. The reason was that no one knew the tools needed for forging better than him.

Then Butler Karen sent two people to him, one named Zac is a hunter, especially familiar with the terrain and road conditions, and the other is Horst, it is said that he used to be a businessman, but he was on the way to deliver goods He was attacked by robbers and lost everything.Afterwards, he fled to Stormwind City to live his last days.

As for the Xiongying City they are going to this time, it is a very prosperous city. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most powerful and prosperous city in the southern part of the empire. Its lord is said to be a nobleman with a title. .

"Houst, do you know who we should go to buy things when we arrive in Bear Eagle City?" Karen asked Host.

"My lord, I have been to Xiongying City several times when I was doing business, and I know it well." Horst squeezed a smile on his wrinkled face. A middle-aged man in his 30s The young man has a sense of vicissitudes all over his face, and he can feel how disappointed he is with his life.

"My lord, we need a lot of forging tools to purchase this time. After all, the previous Stormwind City didn't even have a decent stove." Madoran's thick voice came, and he still chose to call like this when there were many people. Allen.

Allen said: "I know, as long as you can quickly carry out the forging work and make that thing, I will get you more tools."

Allen turned his head and said to Carl: "The journey is a bit far this time, and the safety on the road depends on you."

"No problem, we will swear to protect the city lord to the death." Carl put his hand on the iron sword at his waist and said firmly.

For the concealment of this operation, Allen did not arrange for Karl and his soldiers to wear their armor, but just asked them to bring some iron swords, bows and arrows, just in case.

"By the way, from now on, don't call me Lord Lord or City Lord, call me Master. We are just a caravan out to do business. Are you clear!" Alan thought of this and ordered road.

"Yes! Sir"

"Understood! Master"

"Yes! Master Allen!"

"Okay, that's it, you must pay attention." Allen emphasized again.

Soon, the night slowly darkened.

"It's already dark, let's camp here, and we'll go on our way tomorrow morning." Allen got off his horse and asked Zach, "How long is it to Bear Eagle City now?"

Zach thought for a moment, and said, "Leader...my lord, based on our speed today, we will be there in three to four days."

Three or four days!It seems that it will take a while.

"Carl, you send a few people to do the security work, and the others can rest where they are." Allen tied the horse and sat down against a big tree.

Just as his butt took up space, he felt a burst of pain. For him who was riding a horse for the first time, after riding a horse for a day, his butt had been rubbed so hard that it was about to bleed.

Allen endured it slowly until he got used to the pain. It was so cool to watch other people riding horses on TV before. Only after riding it himself did he know that this is really not something ordinary people can bear.

"Master, what's the matter with you, you look a little bad." Zach kept asking when he saw Alan who was a little strange.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired after a day's driving." Allen said embarrassedly, because his butt was almost red because he couldn't ride a horse.

At this time, Karl took out the dry food that had been prepared before departure and distributed it to everyone.

Allen put this dry biscuit-like thing in his mouth and chewed a few mouthfuls. It tasted very ordinary, just like eating instant noodles without seasoning.

A fire was raised in the middle of the team. After eating, everyone began to slowly fall asleep, except for Karl who arranged for the night watchman.

Allen didn't fall asleep right away, his eyes were looking at the starry sky late at night. To be honest, the starry sky in another world is much more beautiful than the starry sky surrounded by pollution on the earth. When he lived in the city, it was almost Just can't see the stars.

Slowly, the exhaustion from the day's journey began to sweep over his body, and drowsiness took over his body.

on the third day

Allen and the others passed a city that was about to be abandoned.

"Where is this place? Why isn't there even a city wall?" Seriously, if Allen hadn't walked to a place many meters away from the abandoned city, he would never have thought that this place turned out to be a city.

There was a trace of pity in Zach's eyes: "This was originally a place called Small City, but in four or five years, there was a catastrophe here, and there was no harvest for two consecutive years, and then it seemed to erupt again. A plague killed many people at once and almost spread to the surrounding cities. Fortunately, the church sent a priest to cast spells and wiped out the raging plague.”

"But at that time, the city was hopeless. The city lord had gone away with his property and family members, leaving a group of people surviving here, relying on a little simple income for a living."

Allen found that the experience of this city was very similar to that of Stormwind City. Fortunately, his "father" persisted at that time, and there was no plague like this. It is very terrifying to have a plague in this world. If not treated by specialized medicine or priests, it will cause a lot of death.

"It will be dark soon, and there is still a day's journey away from Xiongying City. Let's rest here today. Although the city is dilapidated, there are still many old houses that no one lives in. Let's take a break," Zach suggested.

"Okay, let's just rest here for one night, let's go and see where there are vacant old houses." Allen agreed.

When Allen and his party first walked into this dilapidated city, they could see a few people in shabby clothes looking at them with ashen eyes, and then they went about their own things again, as if It seemed that they didn't see Alan.

Allen didn't know why, he seemed to feel that the city had no breath of life.

"Master! We found a yard that no one lives in." Carl waved his hand and shouted at Allen.

Allen put aside the thoughts in his head and walked towards Carl.
