It has been 10 days since the small mercenary group meandered westward from the imperial capital of Scambrai. According to reports from the Crazy Eagle Swordsman who returned from the vanguard, it is only half a day away from Duanbing Port. Some of the small mercenary group members who were fishermen can already smell the sea.
There was a smell of joy, and there was an atmosphere of joy in the team. Almost no one had been to this coastal city, but everyone had a vague feeling of going home. Everyone quickened their pace, even the old man who loved to play around the most in the past few days.
The tall berserkers also behaved a lot.
At 12:00 noon on March 13, the mainland highway passed through the dense forest, and a very large city suddenly appeared in front of the mercenaries.
The teenagers couldn't help but cheered and rushed towards the city.
The defenders on the city wall discovered the small mercenary group. Apparently they had not received any notification. Sharp whistles sounded, the brown city gate slowly closed with a heavy sound, and the suspension bridge was quickly pulled up.
Amy and Chi Aotian came to the city gate and looked up. The highest-ranking soldier in the city seemed to be a commander, and everyone was looking down the city.
"What are you doing? Don't get close to the city, otherwise we will fire arrows." The soldiers shouted loudly.
"I am Amy, the leader of the Empire's A-level mercenary group. I have come to pick up Fang Duan Ice City under the order of the Empire's military headquarters. Please open the city gate and we will submit the military headquarters' order." Amy shouted from below.
There was a commotion in the city. The imperial soldiers did not expect that there would be a mercenary group to take over Duanbing City. It was an A-level mercenary group and seemed to be very powerful.
"We can't open the city gate. You wait, we will send someone to get it." Many people came to the city one after another, and it seemed that there were soldiers above the squadron leader.
A triangular frame with a thick wooden frame protruded from the right side of the main entrance. A huge iron frame was lowered from the city, and a person was sitting inside.
Amy whispered to Chi Aotian to summon him to leave. They didn't have to go through so much trouble. They could just send the letter directly.
The soldiers suddenly discovered that a huge black hexagonal barrier appeared in front of the two people in the city. Then huge energy rippled in the barrier. A black skeleton dragon appeared in the barrier. One of the two young men in black
One of them actually rode on a huge skeleton dragon. The skeleton dragon's wings trembled slightly and the boy was already eye level with the people on the city wall.
It was the first time for all the soldiers on the city wall to see this kind of unheard-of skeleton. The huge skull suddenly appeared in front of them. The fist-sized dragon's eyes stared blankly at people, the sharp fangs, and the yellow smoke that spewed out from time to time.
, some timid soldiers had already sat down on the ground, and the bold soldiers also retreated, and long swords of various colors were drawn out on the city wall.
"Don't get excited, everyone. I just saw that it was too troublesome for you to get the letter, so I sent it myself." In order to avoid further misunderstandings, Chi Aotian turned the dragon gun upside down, tied the order with a ribbon on the handle of the dragon gun and handed it over.
, also handed over were the mercenary diaries of myself and Amy.
The officer guarding the city carefully checked the letters, seals, and mercenary diaries, and waved the small mercenary group into the city.
Several Imperial Army officers met the small mercenary group at the foot of the city, and while shaking hands and greeting the main leader of the small mercenary group, they led them inside.
Duanbing Port belongs to the Imperial Gyeonggi Defense Zone in terms of military area. The regular army has a strength of 1,500. The highest military commander is the squadron leader, and the highest administrator is the city lord, Count O. von Hamann. In addition to the regular army, there is also a 2,000-person swordsman battalion.
and a 200-man cavalry team directly under the city lord. In addition, there are 1 B-class, 2 C-class and other smaller mercenary groups stationed here to undertake the escort work from Duanbing Port to other cities. Only from the city
From a defensive point of view, it is already of a certain scale.
Just now, without knowing the identity of the small mercenary group, almost all the armed forces were used. Even the mercenary group had sent people to the city to prepare for resistance. After knowing that it was the small mercenary group, the military leaders stayed
.
Seeing that the other party's defense was so strict, Amy was initially worried that she would be rejected again like she did at Fan Zijue's place last time. She did not expect that all the soldiers would be extremely welcoming to the small mercenary group.
When they saw the military chief smiling and asking: "Which of you two is the captain of Amy? Which one is the second young master of the Chi family?" Amy and Chi Aotian immediately knew why. This is Chi Hanfeng's intuitive place
, even if these officers did not know the relationship between Chi Hanfeng and Amy, they definitely knew that Chi Aotian was the second young master of Chi Mansion.
I remembered that a few days ago I explained to those arrogant berserkers how innocent the small mercenary group was. Looking at it now, it was useless. Even if I could make those mad warriors believe that the small mercenary group had come up step by step based on strength, but...
Will other people believe it? Who can correct everyone’s opinions one by one?
The squadron leader of the regular army of the empire asked the deputy squadron leader to keep the orders of the imperial military headquarters, and saluted Amy and Chi Aotian: "Your Excellency Amy, Your Excellency Chi Aotian, it turns out that the two of you are new to Duanbing Port, so I should do my best to be a landlord.
, However, the military situation is important. I will return to the station immediately to assemble the troops. We will leave this city in an hour. You two adults, look forward to meeting next time."
After saying this, the Imperial Army squadron leader turned around and mounted his horse and left.
In the impression of Amy and Chi Aotian, they had never seen such imperial soldiers before. While walking and listening to other people chatting, they realized that since the Red Stone Emperor rewarded the small mercenary group heavily, the regular army of Duanbing Port was very
Looking forward to the war, especially when they heard that the floating ice port was taken over by the mercenary group and that all regular troops would be assembled, the soldiers were extremely excited. Now they are finally free.
At the same time as the imperial army withdrew, the small mercenary group moved into the imperial army camp. The two groups had about the same number of people, so the arrangement was quite convenient. Amy asked Barbas to be responsible for implementing relevant matters, and she and others accompanied the captain of the swordsman battalion.
Go and meet the lord of the city, Count Haman.
The scale of the commercial city is quite large. Although it is just an ordinary seaport city in the Gyeonggi region, it is larger than the Lion Heart City in terms of size, population density, and urban style. It is even more lively than the Hami Imperial Capital Snowfield City. Amy and others have been there
Among the cities, Icebreaker Port is second only to the Imperial Capital Scambrai and the Northern Capital Ice Fortress.
The City Lord's Mansion is quite large, spanning almost a city block, with various shops on both sides. The most popular one is of course the fish roe shop with huge salmon heads hanging on it. There is a strong smell of the sea in the whole city.
Earl Haman was waiting in the hall. In addition to him, there were quite a few nobles and rich people in the hall. A reporter had already reported the news of the arrival of the small mercenary group. When Amy and others entered the hall,
For a moment, I clearly heard that most people were talking about topics related to them.
The city lords of Duanbing City have always been different from the city lords of other cities in the empire. The garrisons in most cities are swordsman battalions from various places. Therefore, the city lords hope to hold these weapons in their hands. This was not the case in Duanbing City. In the past,
For 300 years, the army of Duanbing City was directly under the Imperial Gyeonggi Defense Zone. Unless there was an order from the defense zone general or the Imperial Military Headquarters, troops of more than 100 people were not allowed to move 20 miles away from the city. Where there were regular Imperial troops, the Swordsman Camp
It is directly transferred by the local chief, and the city lord has no right to interfere.
Therefore, the successive city lords of Duanbing Port are not interested in the army. They seem to be more interested in how to make money. Earl Haman is not a hereditary earl of the empire, but a big businessman. After replacing armor for the imperial army for free, he was awarded the title of "employment" by the empire.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs awarded him the title of lifelong earl. As a big businessman, Earl Haman knew nothing about military affairs. He was more concerned that the small mercenary group could continue to create a good environment for merchants after taking over the city's defense. Hall
80% of people here have this idea.
This is probably what it means to be like a fish in water. From the moment you stepped into the hall, Your Excellency Amy felt so urgently and inexplicably intimate for the first time in her life. In the words of the mercenary king later: "Even if you meet Yingying,
, I have never felt so familiar and comfortable.”
Either surprised, cautious, flattering, probing, or peeping, almost everyone in the hall was looking at the first young man who walked into the hall from all angles. For these extremely shrewd businessmen, everyone's first
At a glance, it was clear that this young man was the leader of the group.
After Amy's sharp eyes swept across the hall, the businessmen were startled and lowered their eyes subconsciously. This kind of gaze is very familiar in shopping malls. The person with this kind of eyes must be an extremely old and extremely powerful person.
Old gunman, when dealing with this kind of person, be sure not to let the other person see your eyes, otherwise he will directly see through your heart - in that case, you will only lose money in any business.
Amy was quite surprised at first why there was such a strong sense of familiarity. After chatting with everyone, the crowd automatically divided into two groups. One group was Da Qingshan, Chi Aotian and the captain of the Imperial Swordsman Battalion.
The leader of the mercenary group, and the other group of businessmen from Duanbing Port led by Earl Haman, Amy, etc., the two groups talked about completely different topics, but the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Amy smiled brightly and talked with the merchants about how to make money, how to bargain with mercenary groups during long-distance transportation, and about the important investment direction of Duanbing Port. However, the merchants quickly forgot that they were facing a general
There are only five A-level mercenary regiment leaders in the mainland. I feel that he is more like a big businessman from a distant frozen continent, trying his best to recommend his goods to him. Da Qingshan and others sometimes glance at him secretly.
:It turned out that I really didn’t realize that Amy had such a strong business sense.
While the guests and hosts were chatting, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the distant sky from all directions at the same time. Da Qingshan and Chi Aotian looked at each other, and the two of them strode outside at the same time. Who could make such a huge sound?
There is only one animal, or one race - dragons.
The merchants of Duanbing Port had never heard such an endless and huge sound of tearing the air before. Seeing the mercenaries of the small mercenary group walking out one after another, they quickly followed.
When the small mercenary group entered Duanbing City, the biting north wind swept the sky so clean that no clouds could be seen. However, just over ten minutes later, a turbulent sea of white clouds appeared in the sky.
The tiger moves on the wind, the dragon moves on the clouds.
The wind in the sky seemed to have turned into a pot of porridge. The sea of clouds suddenly formed mountains, and sometimes it formed a forest, and sometimes it looked like ten thousand horses galloping across the field. A faint loud noise came from a distance like thunder, and the sound continued in the air.
There was a roar as the air was compressed.
The faces of the merchants changed. There would be no thunder in Duanbing Port in the winter, let alone such a strange phenomenon. They secretly looked at the calm expressions of the young people in the small mercenary group, and tried their best to express themselves.
Be a little calmer.
In an instant, bright light shot out from the depths of the white clouds in the sky. Red, green, and yellow light penetrated the gaps in the sea of clouds and pierced people's eyes. The white clouds instantly turned into colorful auspicious clouds.
The thick billowing sea of clouds was cut in half by an invisible giant axe, and the elephant sea surged to both sides. A dragon's roar that resounded throughout the nine heavens suddenly came from the depths of the clouds.
From small to large, three huge dragons soared in with huge wings up to 20 meters wide. If any dragon vibrated its wings slightly, a thunderous sound would immediately erupt from the sky and the earth, and the earth would tremble.
The speed of dragons is unimaginable by humans. From the farthest horizon to Duanbing Port, it seems that it only takes an instant. Three giant dragons have been suspended in the sky above the city lord's mansion. The three giant dragons glanced at each other, and the huge dragons covered the sky and the sun.
The body suddenly glowed brightly, and the spread wings trembled and contracted. In front of everyone, the three giant dragons transformed into three young people and landed gently on the ground.
The merchants and mercenaries of Duanbing Port have lost their ability to judge themselves. They may never see giant dragons in their lifetime. Now they see three giant dragons at once. What makes them even more unable to believe their eyes is that there are three giant dragons.
It turned into three human beings. The young man in red clothes in the middle stepped forward and saluted: "We want to see Lord Taimugelsai, Lord Daqingshan, and Lord Amy."
Green?
Daqingshan stepped forward and held his hands. He already knew that these three dragons were ancient sacred dragons with wisdom far beyond human beings. Daqingshan was extremely polite: "Three dragons, I am Daqingshan. Next to me are Amy and Tai.
Mugelsay may be nearby now, I need to give him a message, he can come right away, please wait a moment."
I don’t know the intentions of the three sacred dragons, but there should be no problem. Among the dragon clan, the most important thing is level. As a sacred dragon user, Lu’er can take them all unless the dragon god comes. Daqingshan summoned them without hesitation.
Green.
The boiling clouds in the sky rolled again, and a small green dragon flapped its broad wings and emerged from the clouds.
When Lu'er fell to the ground, Da Qingshan's face turned slightly red. At this time, Mr. Lu'er was holding several plump salmon in each paw, and there was fish oil dripping from the corner of his mouth. It could be seen at a glance that these salmon were
Being pickled, I didn’t even need to use my brain to know that Master Lu’er just secretly took it out from which store using some magic spell such as invisibility. Fortunately, since entering the third level, Lu’er is still sensible, although
He often goes out to get some food and comes back, but he also knows that this is wrong behavior, so he will never use dragon breath to freeze the boss's younger brother.
Da Qingshan gently touched Lu'er with his heel, and secretly said to Lu'er: "Anyone looking for you is a dragon." Lu'er didn't have any shyness at all, and slowly swallowed a mouthful of fish meat.
He asked nonchalantly: "Are you looking for me?"
"Dragon Bardo, Ye Ye, Shan Hanluo can pay homage to Lord Taimugelsai." The young man transformed by the three giant dragons appeared to be extremely polite and saluted respectfully.
"No, it's our first meeting. Did you bring any gifts?"
It was probably the first time for the three poor dragons to see the Dragon Master asking for bribes so nakedly. They were all shocked at the time. In their impression, dragons really like shiny gems or gold coins. In their memory, all the people they knew
Dragons who grew up normally in a dragon family have never had the habit of asking for things from lower-level dragons. I have long heard that Lord Taimugelsai, the green dragon envoy, has lived among humans since he was a child. I have also long heard that the Holy Dragon Knight is not friendly when meeting people.
Shu met an extremely despicable master and a senior brother who was not much better. However, she really did not expect that the great green dragon user would be led astray by these two humble humans. The corners of the three dragons' mouths twitched, and they all
Some impulsively, I want to release the forbidden spell to destroy these two humans.
Lu'er got impatient with the wait, opened her mouth and spat out the whole fish bone: "You guys, don't you know? Don't you know that you need to prepare red envelopes when meeting your boss?"
The red dragon Bardo reacted quickly and took a step forward: "Lord Tai Mugelsai, we were ordered by Lord Dragon God to set off in a hurry this time and crossed two spaces in a row, so..." Lu'er looked slightly gloomy.
With a look on his face, Bardo immediately changed his words: "Therefore, we only brought you some small gifts, and we will make up for the rest later." After saying that, he immediately took out a pair of crystal clear rings from his pocket: "
This pair of rings is the best in Xiaolong's collection and can protect against dark magic and spiritual magic. I offer it here."
Lu'er got it in his hand and was just about to put it in his hand when Amy took it from the side and looked at the sun carefully: "Not bad, not bad, Lord Lu'er, you are a sacred dragon. You seem to be very familiar with the magic system."
You are born with full immunity, so give this to me and Da Qingshan to avoid wasting it, okay?"
The eyes of the young people transformed by the three giant dragons are about to spit out flames. I have only heard of the sacred dragons killing humble humans to steal treasures. I have never seen humans dare to extort treasures from the sacred dragons:
Okay, this guy is that Amy, let’s remember it, don’t let us see him alone next time.
"Lu'er, you greet your friends casually, casually... By the way, Chi Aotian and Horns don't have rings yet. Look back... and see if..." Amy also wanted to say something with her fingers.
The two young men who were mentioned quickly pulled back.
Baldo immediately took out a scroll from his arms: "Master Dragon Envoy, Your Excellency Dragon God Pilot convened a dragon conference and specifically ordered us to summon the five great dragon envoys. Please return to the Dragon Realm as soon as possible."
Lu'er opened the scroll and looked at it: "It will take two months. Not bad, not bad. I can finally stop being called like a puppy."
Lu'er put the scroll in Amy's hand and said confidently: "Captain, you see, the Dragon Clan has a conference. I really have no choice but to take a few days off." After saying that, Lu'er flapped his wings and chatted with the three young people.
People rushed into the sky, and the sacred dragon envoy's words were faintly heard in the air: "Seeing me like this...are all my subordinates...good tributes..."
As a sacred dragon knight, Daqingshan looked awkwardly at the mysterious smiles on the faces of many merchants.
