Chen Mo looked at the bouncing dog-legged guy in front of him and felt nauseated immediately. The smell of the perfume sprayed on him was too strong, and the smell of leather mixed together made it disgusting.
"better not!"
Gandalf shook his head, and then prepared to dismount and negotiate with the other party.
As a result, as soon as he dismounted, he saw a golden thing rubbing his head and throwing it to the ground.
"Clang!"
The guards and doglegs surrounding Chen Mo and others subconsciously looked down when they heard the sound, and saw a huge gold brick thrown on the ground.
"be mine!"
The dog-legged man immediately yelled and was about to pick up the gold brick, but in the next second, Chen Mo shot him at the foot.
"Can anyone beat him up for me? This is the reward!"
Chen Mo's words were so powerful that all the guards were shocked and panicked.
The dog-legged man looked at the big hole that was still smoking on the ground. He wanted to raise his head to refute Chen Mo, but instead he saw that the guard who was supposed to obey his command looked at him differently, like a wild wolf seeing its prey, his eyes turned green.
Light.
"I'm warning you that attacking a public servant is punishable by..."
Before the bastard finished speaking, seven or eight fists wearing iron gloves came over to greet him. The mayor of Changhu Town and his followers had been out of business for a long time. The people were so poor that they couldn't even afford to wear trousers.
The other party is also clamoring to increase taxes, and usually maliciously deducts the salary of the guards. These soldiers have long been holding back their anger. If it weren't for the fact that there was nowhere to go in the north, they would have been relieved!
The guards were busy earning the bounty, and the expedition team immediately drove into Changhu Town with great swagger. Along the way, the townspeople raised their heads to look around. Many young ladies and young wives even blushed when they saw the elf prince looking around.
, of course, there were also a few rough guys whistling at Legolas, and then Chen Mo kicked them into the river one by one.
The townspeople of Long Lake Town are all descendants of Riverdale City. After Smaug destroyed Riverdale City, the surviving humans established their homes in the middle of the lake and relied on waterway trade with the elves to re-develop and expand their homes. However, most of them
Part of the wealth was stolen by the mayor, and it became a problem for ordinary people to have enough to eat.
When the boy reached the mayor, the expedition team had already arrived at the square in the center of the town. When Gandalf was about to loudly inform the townspeople to evacuate, the mayor's stride was in stark contrast to the skinny townspeople.
Walked out.
"Who are you and why did you come to my Changhu Town!"
"This is the plenipotentiary representative of the Woodland Kingdom, the Elf Prince Legolas Greenleaf! He has brought news about the Orcs!"
Chen Mo decisively picked up the tiger skin. The trade between the Woodland Kingdom and Changhu Town accounted for the majority of the mayor's income. They were the other party's bread and butter, so the mayor would definitely not dare to offend.
Sure enough, after seeing Legolas, the expression on the mayor's face changed even faster than Chen Mo drawing a gun. He rushed to Legolas and flattered him, and finally invited him to come in and sit down. He was a good drinker.
The food is well served.
"No, sir, in fact we have something important to announce!"
Legolas, who had long agreed on the same point of view, pointed at Gandalf.
"This is the gray robe wizard, he brought news about the Orc invasion!"
"Occasion? Come here?"
A trace of panic flashed across the mayor's face. He was good at making money and collecting taxes, but he really didn't know how to fight!
"Yes, there are tens of thousands of Oak troops on the way!"
If it were just Gandalf, the people in Lake Town would definitely not believe this news, but with the addition of Legolas, the credibility of this news suddenly increased.
The townspeople who were watching were even more panicked and couldn't help but start talking.
"quiet!"
A stern expression flashed across the face of the equally panicked mayor. He stood in the middle of the square and loudly ordered the civilians to be quiet.
"Changhu Town is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Don't panic, everyone. I will organize a military meeting immediately to try to ensure everyone's safety!"
Next, the fat-headed and big-eared mayor performed extremely well. He first asked everyone to rest, then summoned the army commanders and issued several orders to strengthen defenses. He showed extremely professionalism and confidence. If it weren't for
If at three o'clock in the middle of the night, he took a small boat full of gold and silver treasures and ran away with a beaten dog leg and a few guards, maybe everyone would be moved by his professionalism!
"What a damn idiot!"
Seeing people going to the empty town hall, Gandalf was so angry that he wanted to smash the statue of the mayor with a stick. The mayor would take away all the wealth and run away without leaving a warning to the civilians.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if he ran away. It's better to be self-aware than to cause trouble with your pig teammates!"
As for the money that the other party took away, it was just a drop in the ocean compared to what was in the Gushan. Just take it away. Anyway, all consumption is covered by the dwarf's finances.
"What about the thousands of people in Changhu Town?"
"I've already arranged it!"
Chen Mo looked at the door that was pushed open and took his feet off the table.
"Look, isn't the new mayor coming soon?"
Under the leadership of the dwarf, a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing and a ruthless appearance walked into the town hall.
"Mr. Bud, congratulations. After the continuous evaluation by the Gushan Subdistrict Office, you are now the new mayor of Changhu Town! Start your work now!"
"Wait, what did you say? The mayor has run away?"
The middle-aged man couldn't believe it. He knew that the mayor was a waste, but he really didn't expect him to be so shameless!
"Yes, now you are the mayor, start making plans!"
Chen Mo casually threw to the other party a seal of the mayor of Changhu Town that he had just carved with a radish.
"What's the plan?"
"Of course it is a defense and escape plan. The Oak army will arrive at Lonely Mountain soon, and the elves and dwarves will also attack them here. Changhu Town will definitely become the target of attack. For the sake of women and children, you have to hurry up. I
My suggestion is that you retreat to River Valley City!"
Chen Mo pointed at the mountains shrouded in darkness in the distance and the ruins of the city under the mountains.
"But there is Smaug in the Lonely Mountain, and the evil dragon won't watch us approach the Lonely Mountain!"
The shock on the face of the new mayor Bud has not dissipated, probably because the new official did not read a poem when he took office.
"Smaug is not a problem. We are responsible. I know that your ancestors shot down the opponent's scales, so you don't have to worry about Smaug. You only need to worry about how these civilians will survive the war!"
Chen Mo's affirmative tone made the other party feel inexplicably at ease, but the job of the mayor is really not easy!
