Chapter 389: The Bandit Who Collects Taxes from the City
Iron Tooth City
As a noble territory located in the north of the central part of the empire, there are not many specialties that attract players here, the main products of Iron Tooth City are iron ore and paper, the quality of iron ore is high and low, and the output is also good, but the forging level here is far less than that of Yanlong City in the northeast, so most of the merchants who come here only buy ore, and will not buy weapons and armor here.

The paper that can be called a specialty is not ordinary paper, but yellow table paper that can be used to draw sigils and magic paper that can be used to draw magic scrolls. Before, it was okay, players who had ideas about Hero Mountain would settle here, but the Demon Invasion took away most of the popularity, and now the Hero City has also been built, and all players who are determined to join the bandit force have also entered the Hero City.
"Boss Huang, I'm also your old employer here, you can give me a cheaper price." Xu Kuang is a professional businessman who runs orders in "Shengshi", and at the beginning of the service, he used his savings to sweep a batch of gold coins in the market to run around, and he is also the first batch of merchants among players to reach a high level, seizing the opportunity to walk between various cities to buy high and sell low is a small profit, and his Chosen Backpack has also spent money to find space magicians to expand to five hundred cubic meters.
Xu Kuang has been buying yellow table paper and spell paper in Iron Tooth City during this time, the profit of the ore is too low, and if it is not good, it will lose money, he can't look down on it, as long as these special papers are transported to the cities in the western barren areas, it is very profitable, and the paper does not take up space, and his Chosen Backpack can transport a lot at a time.
"You kid is like this every time, I'm here to sell paper, not to sell talismans or magic scrolls, and the cost card doesn't make much money there, hey, let's do it, I'll drop ten copper coins for every hundred shares, this is my limit."
Xu Kuang was overjoyed, how much of his current net worth was obtained by bargaining, don't look at a hundred pieces to drop ten copper, the quantity he purchased is tens of millions, which can save him hundreds of gold coins. "Thank you Boss Huang, I'll invite you to drink another day." The paper used for the runes and magic scrolls is completely different, and they are also divided into levels, the higher the cost, but the consumption of these things in the Hongyu Empire every year is quite terrifying, especially in this war period.
Boom, boom, boom......
"What's going on?" Just as Xu Kuang was trading with Boss Huang of the paper mill, there was a sudden roar from the north. "Got a war?"
Boss Huang smiled and said, "No! Iron Tooth City hasn't fought since its founding, and we're far from the devil cubs in the northwest, even if those northwest armies are weak, they can't hit us here, maybe they're setting off fireworks and engaging in activities. ”
"It looks like there's a real war." This paper mill was originally in Beicheng District, and Xu Kuang actually felt a slight vibration in a roar, this is definitely not fireworks, and in broad daylight, what kind of fireworks are set.
"This ...... What can I do? Boss Huang was immediately anxious after hearing this, his net worth and life are all in Iron Tooth City, if Iron Tooth City is broken, he will not be able to live.
"Boss Huang, don't worry, I'll go and see the situation first." Xu Kuang didn't dare to continue trading, if he died in the war, he would burst out of the Chosen One's backpack, and he couldn't afford such a loss.
Really! When Xu Kuang rushed out of the paper mill, the dense city guards were rushing from all streets to the Beicheng city wall, obviously it was the Beicheng city wall that was being attacked now, but who would attack the Iron Tooth City at this time? Could it be the bandits on Hero Mountain, they are indeed quite active during this time, robbing villages and towns everywhere, and Iron Tooth City is also the closest city to Hero Mountain. But aren't the bandits of the City of Heroes just robbing? It's a little too unrestrained to rob the city.
Outside the north of Iron Tooth City, tens of thousands of bandits with different equipment are standing outside the city, and standing at the front is Cheng Yanjin, who won the position of the big boss not long ago, with two magic cannons by his side, which are still medium-sized, one level higher than those in Iron Tooth City, and I don't know how they got them. In addition to Cheng Biting Jin, Zhou Cang and Hua Rong are also on the front line, in addition to this, there is also a middle-aged man dressed as a strategist and wearing a goat's beard, but it is extremely unrealistic to attack the city with two magic cannons.
"The people in the city listened and asked Lu Ming to come out and answer." On the side, a player magician blessed the amplification, and after Cheng Biting Jin, he shouted loudly in the direction of Iron Tooth City, and Lu Ming in his mouth was the city lord of Iron Tooth City.
"Do you bandits want to rebel!" As an earl, as the lord of a city, Lu Ming was very angry, he already knew about it when the hero city was first built, but as a noble lord, he didn't want to help the empire level this gang of bandits, who would have thought that this group of thieves who were completely out of his eyes would actually hit the door today.
Cheng Yanjin laughed loudly: "Haha, rebellion? How could it be! We are good citizens, but we have been a little tight recently, so we want to find a few rewards from the lord of Lucheng. ”
"You want to rob me?" Lu Ming's face suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot, and at the same time he looked at the two medium-sized magic cannons, the magic cannons in his city were all small, although they had the advantage of the city wall, they were still not as good as the medium-sized range.
"Those moths in the empire really dare to sell anything!" Lu Ming greeted the women of the big aristocratic families who had gone out of the way in his heart.
"It's okay for Lord Lu Cheng to think so, but you have four iron ores in your hands, it shouldn't be a big deal to send us some weapons." Hero City lacks resources, armament and food have to be robbed, food is good, there are a lot of villages and towns, but armament is troublesome. That's why Cheng Yanjin will go down to Iron Tooth City to fight the autumn wind at the suggestion of the new military advisor who went up the mountain.
"Impossible! There's no way I'm going to compromise with you despicable bandits. ”
"Since the city lord of Lu is so stubborn, then don't blame the younger brother for not preaching morality, in the future, our brothers in Hero City will come to Iron Tooth City every day to greet the city lord." Cheng Yanjin directly played helplessly.
"You!!" Lu Ming almost vomited blood, Iron Tooth City has not experienced a war since the city was built, looking at the momentum of those bandits outside the city, he really didn't dare to go to the city to defend the city to fight, if he wins, it's good to say, if he loses, his territory will be completely finished, which is absolutely unacceptable for a nobleman who is used to enjoying it.
As long as he is willing to spend money, two medium-sized magic cannons will definitely not be able to smash the walls of Iron Tooth City, but how can he still do business in his territory? Who would dare to come to a city that is being bombarded at any moment? As for the rescue to the empire, it was completely too much to think about, and it was still possible during the period of Emperor Wu, but now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, His Majesty the Emperor is busy cleaning up the forces that oppose him, and he will definitely not send a soldier to rescue an insignificant small noble territory at this time.
Lu Ming walked down the city wall angrily, Cheng Yanjin continued to laugh and command the two magic cannons to bombard the city wall of the North City one by one, and at this time, the players who stayed in the Iron Tooth City were lively, and they all posted the situation here to the forum, and there were bold magicians who used the levitation technique to shoot down the army of bandits outside the North City, there are pictures and truths.
The bandits of Hero City did not last long before withdrawing their troops, because there was a sneaky magician who came out of the city stealthily from the Iron Tooth City and found Cheng Da's master. Regarding the face of the nobles, Cheng Da said that he understood, as long as the Iron Tooth City was willing to make offerings, his goal this time would be achieved. (To be continued.) )
