Lord of War

  Sunset Red Tavern in Hongye Town, today welcomed three different guests.

  The owner of the tavern personally served these three people, just watching his hands holding the tray are constantly shaking, you can know that the boss is not at ease at this moment.

  But think about it, if anyone's shop in Hongye Town is surrounded by a group of mercenaries, I am afraid it will not be easy to go there.

In the past year, this mercenary group that was supposed to bring a sense of security to Hongye Town, has brought a kind of fear to the townspeople here, especially the intensified changes in the past few days have made the townspeople Will not leave the house easily if it is not necessary. It’s just that the taverns in the town really can’t do anything. These mercenaries come to the tavern to drink every day, and sometimes they knock on the door from the morning, so other shops can close the door and ignore everything, but the few taverns in the town can’t. Do it.

  For the sake of safety, there are no maids working in these taverns now.

  The tavern owner finally put the tray on the table, and then put the food on the tray-two heavy meat steaks and one red maple noodles unique to Hongye Town, one by one in front of the three guests. I don't know if it was too nervous or too scared. When the boss picked up the last cutlet, he accidentally shook his hand, and as a result, he sprinkled some of the sauce inside.

   "Yes...Yes...Yes..." At this moment, the tavern owner became even more nervous. A simple sentence of only three words was spoken for most of the day but he couldn't say it.

   "It's okay." Sean shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Are you afraid of me?"

   "Yes." The tavernkeeper nodded, then his face changed drastically, and immediately shook his head, "No...no..."

  Sean chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, we won't fall back on the bill."

  So, the tavernkeeper gave a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Well, such a bit of food might not be enough. You can have more steaks." Sean glanced at Anno's plate. His conversation with the tavernkeeper only took a few seconds, and Anno's plate was already licked. It's clean, it looks like it's clean enough to be used as a mirror, "My companion... is more edible."

   "A few copies are not enough." An Nuo Urn said angrily.

   "Then you want a few copies." Sean said dumbfoundedly.

"three……"

   "Three copies?"

   "Thirty copies."

  Sean is already a little speechless.

   Then, he turned his head and glanced at the boss. The boss seemed to know what Shaun was going to say, so he could only say with a bitter expression: "There are thirty stocks in stock, but there are not enough staff in the store, and..."

  Speaking of this, the tavern owner looked sideways at the other people sitting in the hall, his expression very disturbed.

  This tavern with a red sunset sign is one of the famous old signs in Hongye Town. It is said that it was passed down from the generation of the grandfather of the tavern owner. However, due to poor management, the pub was almost closed several times, so the pub became more and more run-down. Although this pub sells alcoholic beverages, it can be said to be the most authentic in Hongye Town, and it also has special food such as red maple noodles. It also means that consumption is more expensive, so this sunset red tavern has been living beyond making ends meet for a long time.

  But today, the Sunset Red Tavern has ushered in an extremely glorious day-of course, this kind of glory is not what the tavern owner wants.

  In the hall, nearly twenty tables are already full of people.

  These people are clearly divided into two groups: people in both groups wear standard clothing, one red and the other blue, but the styles of the two clothes are somewhat different. The group of people in red clothes are mostly older, basically around 30 years old. The weapons placed on the table are mainly two-handed swords, and a small number of them are equipped with shields. Their clothes are embroidered with a coat of arms. , Looks like a snake in the shape.

  There is no doubt that these people are mercenaries.

  The biggest difference between mercenaries and mercenaries is that the former uses war as the main content of their activities, so their weapons and clothing are relatively uniform standard equipment. The more famous the mercenary regiment, the more they will pay attention to their own military discipline, and they also have stable logistics and reserve recruits. Moreover, because the mercenary regiment is often involved in war activities, the more famous the mercenary regiment, the more terrifying its combat effectiveness and the types of arms. The more complete the mercenaries; however, the main content of the mercenaries is to handle commissions. Although they occasionally participate in wars, they are indeed inferior to mercenaries in terms of training and military discipline, and there is no unified standard for weapons and clothing. It's totally varied.

  In order to distinguish the main difference between the two, the mercenary union added the word "hired" before "mercenary" to distinguish the two. But in fact, whether it is a mercenary group or a mercenary group, once the scale is enlarged, the two will usually merge and develop at the same time, so in the end, it is actually the same goal by different routes, and there is no real distinction in the strict sense. Of course, there are some who simply disdain to go. On the other hand, the development of the mercenary regiment or mercenary regiment.

  In the hall, besides this group of mercenaries, the other group was wearing blue uniforms, but some young people, only a few middle-aged men over 30 years old. Their weapon is also a standard weapon, but it is a long gun. The gun body is made of wood. Only an iron spear head is installed in the front. This kind of thing is a few copper coins, and the weapon shops on the street are all, and they are not made at all. It requires any technical content, even blacksmith apprentices can do it.

  So the identity of this group of people is also very easy to distinguish, the militia group of Hongye Town.

  Why these two groups appeared here at the same time, Xiao En was clear.

In the final analysis, it was because Anno, an idiot, knocked down five mercenaries. If it was Sean, he would definitely choose an alley, and then killed all five without knowing it. But it happened. Anno, an idiot, stopped five mercenaries sitting on the road. When the opponent was unknown, he punched the opponent, and then struck the five directly after he fought a few punches. Get down.

  It’s okay to get down, but the place that Anno chose was the square in Hongye Town, so this scene was naturally seen by many people.

  "Big Brother, are you kidding me?" After knowing this, Sean felt helplessly.

Fortunately, Anno doesn’t know what the short-circuit is due to, at least he didn’t kill these five people, so the matter is not to the point where the two sides have to fight with swords and guns when they meet, otherwise Sean. How could he continue to enter this small town? He turned around and ran away with Anno and the others. At least he had to gather troops before coming back.

  As for the intention of the militia group, it is to prevent these mercenaries from doing anything unbearable. According to the vague words that Sean heard from Anno, after the hard work of himself and Cecilia, and the side attack from the tavernkeeper, he finally figured out that a conflict broke out between the mercenary regiment and the militia regiment a few days ago. After that, the contradiction between the two sides was finally moved from the bottom to the table, and now no one is convinced.

   But only from this point and the fact that Anno can fight five at a time, Sean also has a more lateral understanding of the strength of this mercenary group.

  The only thing that is still unclear is the strength of the head of this mercenary group.

   Just when the boss was a little embarrassed and helpless, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open. The coming person is very powerful, or full of aura, because the sound of the door being pushed open is very strong, completely attracting everyone’s attention, a big man who is almost not inferior to Anno, He walked in with a heavy hammer just like that.

  When the opponent put the heavy hammer down, Sean could even feel a shock from the ground.

  The weight of this heavy hammer can be seen.

  Shaun’s gaze turned from the other's heavy hammer to the middle-aged body, and then to his face: a barbarian, his bloodline should come from the Wildlands. At this time, Sean became more interested in this mercenary group, because the tribes of the wild land never easily joined any organization outside the wild land, this mercenary group can let such a barbarian join, then There must be some connection with the tribe on the barren land.

   "Who just injured our Habind snake?"

  Different from Anno’s urn, this barbarian has a very loud voice, and almost overturns the roof of the tavern when he utters his voice. However, this is also a unique situation for the tribes in the Wildlands. After all, for a place where wars often occur, the aura is often more important than others, because it will affect the morale and reputation of a tribe and so on.

  Anno looked up at the other party, but soon lost interest. For him, arguing with this big guy who is about the same size as him is far less comfortable than eating a few more steaks. Of course, the main reason is that Sean didn't speak, so Anno, who followed William's instructions, naturally shut his mouth tightly and ignored the other party. Anyway, this kind of quarrel would naturally have Sean to be responsible.

  A mercenary stood up suddenly and pointed at Xiao En and the others: "Deputy commander, that's them! I was also in the square just now and saw it with my own eyes."

   "Heavy hammer, don't mess around!" A middle-aged man from the militia suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice.

His face is actually a bit disturbed. After all, the deputy commander of the Snake of Habind is also a famous murderer in Hongye Town, and once he is mad, only the commander of the Snake of Habind can subdue it, so This middle-aged man was very reluctant to face this barbarian. But the current situation, if he doesn’t stand up and speak, then the militia will really be distracted. After all, this is a militia team formed with blood and courage, and it’s heard that the new lord is about to arrive. At that time, this mercenary group will definitely be driven away. If there are some bad rumors in Hongye Town, it will inevitably affect the development of Hongye Town.

  Under such circumstances, the middle-aged man from the militia would stop him.

"Huh!" The barbarian known as the heavy hammer glanced at the middle-aged man, snorted heavily, and exclaimed: "It's none of your business, get out of the way! If you dare to interfere, don't Blame my heavy hammer on you."

  Hearing this, the faces of all the militiamen changed.

  In fact, if Habind’s Snake hadn’t had a heavy hammer and their captain, this mercenary regiment would actually be a mercenary regiment similar to the others in the eyes of the Hongye Town Militia. They may not have rich combat experience, and their personal strength is somewhat inferior to each other, but in terms of number, he is exactly twice as large as the other. If the two sides really meet each other, the militia will certainly suffer heavy casualties, but Habin The end of the German Snake mercenary group will never be any better.

  It is precisely because of this that both sides have actually maintained a certain degree of restraint. Even if there are occasional provocations and verbal abuses, no one really started. The few conflicts on the scale of more than a dozen people have actually won each other. The Snake of Habind has not achieved the true scale. Complete suppression, this is also the reason why the Hongye Town militia is so motivated to this day.

  If you have been suppressed and bullied, this militia corps would not dare to come out to take care of its business, and it would have been disbanded long ago.

  But now, the two sides are actually only one step away from completely tearing their faces apart. The official document sent from Tonis Fortress a few days ago has caused a real large-scale conflict between the two sides. In the end, it was the head of the regiment. That’s why the militia suffered a big loss. Hundreds of people suffered as a result. Fortunately, no one was killed because of injuries of varying severity. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the two sides had no real tears.

   But with the arrival of the new lord, this will happen sooner or later.

  I heard that the new lord had arrived at the ancient black swan castle in the Angrodha Mountains yesterday, and I believe he will come to inspect the territory under his own name in the next few days. It’s just that the people in Hongye Town heard the mercenaries of Harbind’s Snake mentioned that the lord seemed to have brought less than two hundred people over, so the originally worried Harbind’s snake seemed to have settled down as a result, even Instead, the exploitation of the townsfolk has been intensified.

  The most notable point is that these mercenaries used to pay for drinking, but these days, drinking in the tavern has no money at all, causing both taverns to be closed. However, these mercenaries did not go too far, at least unlike the mercenaries in the town of Dabron, who actually attacked the houses and robbed women. Anyone who dared to resist was killed by them. The original number was nearly five. The town of a thousand people is now almost a dead town.

  However, the arrogant attitude of the heavy hammer really annoyed many young militiamen. They were filled with righteous indignation and stood up as if they wanted to refute something, but they were stopped by the middle-aged man of the militia. In the conflict a few days ago, their militia consisted of more than two hundred people, but the mercenaries of Harbind’s Snake were just over a hundred. At first, it was indeed that their militia relied on their numbers to suppress Harbin. Virtue Snake, but when the head of the mercenary regiment took action, they were immediately defeated.

  At this moment, there is a heavy hammer on the side of Harbind’s Snake that is not inferior to their captain, so this middle-aged man needs to be cautious.

As a result, the mercenaries of Harbind’s Snake showed contemptuous mockery on their faces, which made the people of the militia even more angry. Several people had already clenched their spears by their sides, and seemed to be ready to rush forward again fiercely. Contest.

  Although the hammer is a barbarian, people from the tribes of the savage land, even the most mindless barbarians, are more cunning than ordinary savages. Therefore, the complexion of the people in the militia has changed. He actually has a panoramic view. Before coming here, his head had already explained that he should try not to fight with the militia and frighten them. But if the other party is really disobedient, then A little lesson is not impossible.

  Of course, the people of Harbind’s Snake are very clear that if the hammer is used to "learn", then it is impossible to be as measured as their leader, and it will definitely be dead. However, since their group leader dared to say such things, he naturally considered the consequences, so those of them who were members of the group would just do as long as they did.

   But now, watching the reaction of the militia, he is still very satisfied, so he pointed at Sean and snorted coldly: "Small, tell me, did you guys hurt us?"

  Everyone's eyes, at this moment, all shifted to Sean's body.

  But unlike what everyone imagined, Sean did not have any panicked expressions. Instead, he turned his head to look at the big man named Heavy Hammer: "Are you called Heavy Hammer?"

  The heavy hammer proudly raised his head, sprayed a breath from his nostrils, and said: "Yes! I am the heavy hammer! The deputy commander of the snake of Harbind!"

"You are a good candidate for unitary leader who don't stay in the wild, why do you come to such a place? I guess what tribe you are from." Sean asked lazily, "Stonehammer tribe. The Barbarian King Tribe? The Eagle Tribe? The Lionheart Tribe? The Great Drum Tribe?"

  As Sean read out a tribe name, the hammer's gaze was startled.

  These tribes are all well-known big tribes in the wilderness. The lower the order, the stronger the tribe. And these tribes have one thing in common, that is, there are savages living in these tribes. According to the barbaric customs of the savage land, the best barbarians in the tribe will have a "hammer" after their names. They are all candidates for the next chief of the tribe, which is similar to the successor of the nobles.

However, most people don’t understand the customs and tribes of the savage land. Even those kingdom armies that have fought the savage land for a long time know the names of the tribes that can force them to retreat. After all, the entire savage land has more than There are hundreds of tribes, how can it be possible to remember or even understand the situation of these tribes. Therefore, it is extremely rare to be able to say the names of these tribes and the customs of the savage lands, like Sean, in places other than the savage lands.

  People like this usually have deep friendships with the tribes in the Wildlands.

  At this moment, Heavy Hammer’s attitude towards Sean became somewhat respectful: “Which tribe’s distinguished guest are you?”

It’s no wonder that the heavy hammer is like this. After all, the customs and fears of the savage land have been deeply implanted in the souls of the tribes of the savage land, and they also believe that the great wizard will always observe their words. One party, disrespect for the tribe's distinguished guests, will cause bad luck, so the heavy hammer will be so respectful.

  It's just a pity, no one knows except Cecilia, what kind of guest is Shaun from the Horde in the Wildlands, this guy is just a magic stick.
