About a few hundred meters outside the town of Momiji, there is a campsite.

The piling in this camp is very strong - piling is a very advanced science, the depth of the pile is stable, the pile is shallow, the light is light. The former is a common pile method for strongholds and fixed military camps, and the pile nails must be changed every year, so that the camp tents, horses, fences and wooden walls around the pile nails will not be broken so easily; The latter is the practice of temporary camps, because only shallow piles will be more convenient when pulling out the camp, and many times pulling piles and driving piles, there is also a certain degree of loss of pile nails, so the site selection of temporary camps has very strict specifications.

But the fact that the ground was plain and rocky rather than soft grass, and the stakes were very flattened, proved that this camp was not a temporary camp, but more like a fixed barracks, or a permanent stronghold.

In fact, this camp was originally set up by Puda for the militia of Red Leaf Town. Because the town is only a residential town after all, not a military facility, so there is naturally not much space to move and use, so in order to be able to better train the militia of Red Leaf Town, Puda spent some energy and time to teach the young men in the town how to build a camp, and this is the first lesson that the militia of Red Leaf Town takes.

Afterwards, they stayed in the camp for a relatively long time – in order to make it a habit for the young people to live in the camp, and anyone who returned home without permission would be expelled from the militia.

This situation remained until the arrival of the Serpent of Hubbinder, and the camp became the stronghold of the Serpent of Hubbinder. And the militia group, because the relationship with this group of mercenaries is not harmonious, so they did not continue to live in this camp, but chose to return to the town, but the habits they developed here in the camp before have not been lost, they still spontaneously insist on daily training.

At this time, in the main tent of the camp. A burly middle-aged man sat on a chair in the middle.

The middle-aged man had a resolute face. He didn't have a beard, so his face didn't look very old, but there was a ten-centimeter-long scar on his right cheek like a centipede, which made him look even more hideous. He was wearing a thin shirt, and the texture of the clothes was not bad, but it was obvious that the price might not be too low, but I don't know what his considerations were. The pants he wore on the lower half of his body were not of the same texture, but a pair of thick linen pants, which made him look out of place.

"Those people, who are they?"

The man's voice was a little hoarse, not the kind of deep tone that had been through the vicissitudes of life. It's more like the kind of scrubbing feeling of the vocal cords being destroyed.

When the man spoke, and raised his head as a result, he could clearly see that he also had a hideous centipede scar on his throat. It's just that this scar is more terrifying and slender than the one on his face, almost extending from the left side of his neck to the right neck, but even such a tragic and terrifying injury still did not take the life of this middle-aged man, which is not so much a miracle as a miracle.

The man. He is the leader of the Habinder Serpent Mercenary Regiment. Hubbard.

Almost no one knows the origin of this man, only that he founded a mercenary group. His fame began to spread rapidly in the northern part of the kingdom of Dabion. Only a handful of early members of the Serpent of Hubbard knew that their leader had been part of the Savage Lands Expeditionary Force, and that he had been captured alive by a tribe because of his defeat in a local war, and that his body was scarred by the abuse of that tribe.

But even these early members didn't know how their leader had escaped.

It's just that perhaps because of the abuse he has suffered, Hubbinder's personality is extremely bloody and cruel, and he is retributive and cruel. However, it is precisely because of this that his mercenary group will be targeted by a large mercenary group in the northern region, which will lead to a weakening of the scale, so he even has to leave the northern region and run to the southern side to survive.

Unexpectedly, by mistake, his mercenary group was hired by a small town.

Red Leaf Town, which was regarded as a bag and a base camp by Hubbinder on that day, had only just begun the revenge plan he had conceived in his heart, and how could he send this town out of the city that could bring him a lot of benefits because of the sudden arrival of a lord. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he valued Momiji Town very much, with Hubbinder's character, when Puda came to compete with him, he would not show mercy to his subordinates, but would directly break his neck.

Vipers are good at forbearance and hibernation, and will only give the enemy a fatal blow at the right time, so as to kill with one blow.

Hubbinder could see how important Puda was to the townspeople of Red Leaf Town, and he could also see that Puda was a real person, and of course he valued these militiamen even more. In the last year, in addition to looting an objective amount of coins, he has been trying to get close to this militia group, and if he can replenish these people to his Harbinder Serpent, then he can even take another town.

And as long as the strength of the two towns is combined, it is naturally not a problem to take the town of Dabroun.

It's a pity that he still failed to succeed in his attempts over the past year. Thankfully, the other two towns he targeted hadn't changed significantly, and he had even heard that Dabroun's side was almost a dead town.

But what he never expected was that today Red Leaf Town actually inexplicably came to a big guest from a wild place, and he forced the hammer away in a few words. He didn't even know what was going on in the road, he only knew that the heavy hammer took people to Red Leaf Town to find trouble with a few outsiders, but it only took a while before and after, the heavy hammer came back, and then packed up his own things and left, without even saying a word, and the truth of the matter was that these people who followed the heavy hammer came back to report.

"I don't know who Lu Dao is." A few people who could be considered the old men of the snake of Harbinder spoke, "I have left people there to inquire and monitor, but I know that those people are now at the mayor's house, and Puda has already rushed over. ”

"Looks like the old man did all this!" A hint of gloom flashed in Hubbinder's eyes, "Since that old man dares to do this, then I have nothing to scruple about." …… Gather all those who can fight, let's go and bloodied Momiji Town, and today we will make this town a real Red Town! ”

……

Not to mention that the members of the Serpent of Hubinger have begun to assemble here, ready to fight with the mercenaries of the town.

At the mayor's house in Momiji Town, Puda looked at the two people sitting on the chairs in the hall with a surprised expression.

These two people were the so-called big guests he had only seen in the sunset tavern before and the girl who followed him and didn't know what the identity of Lu Dao was. Only the big man was not here. Thereupon. Puda looked around curiously, as if she wanted to see the shadow of the big man.

"Anno isn't here." Sean, the great guest, seemed to have seen Puda's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "It's just me and Cecilia who are visiting. ”

"You've already met?" At this time, an old man sitting in this hall finally asked.

"I just met at a tavern called Sunset Red." Sean smiled, "This one has a great sense of justice." ”

Hearing someone praise Puda, a smile appeared on the old man's face. A look of pride: "Puda, this child, if I don't boast, there is no one in our entire Puda Town who does not praise him." …… But you said the Sunset Tavern, Puda, didn't you just go with the militia? Say it's those mercenaries who want to trouble an outsider, what is the situation? ”

The latter sentence. The mayor of the town had already turned his head to look at Puda, looking nervous.

"Uncle, that's what I'm going to tell you." Puda glanced at Sean, looking a little hesitant, as if he didn't know where to start, and finally he could only dryly tell the story of the Sunset Tavern just now, but Puda really didn't have any language talent, so it didn't sound good at all. I can't even remember the names of the tribes. At the end, it becomes a concluding sentence.

"The hammer is gone."

"You mean, the hammer broke away from the Serpent of Hubbard?" The old mayor was in disbelief. Then after seeing Puda nodding, he turned his head to look at Sean, and said with some horror: "Oh, there is nothing to entertain in the small place, it really makes you laugh, sorry...... Sorry ......"

"Nothing." Sean gave up, but his face was not "nothing", but a dark look that almost anyone could see.

It's just that seeing Sean's exemplary heart, the old mayor and Puda didn't feel disgusted, but felt that this young man looked pretty good.

"Actually." After a few more polite and modest words to each other, Sean opened his mouth to cut into the topic of this trip, "I came to visit Mayor Mayor this time to learn about this Harbinder Serpent. …… What the hell is going on with this mercenary group? It feels like you're being controlled. ”

"Well, it's not complicated......"

So, in front of Sean, the old mayor began to talk about the hiring of the Serpent of Hubbinder to the antagonism with the militia group, and then mentioned that the battle between Puda and Hubbinder ended in the defeat of Puda, so the whole town completely fell into the control of Hubbind, until the other day because of the receipt of the official letter of the fortress of Tonys, which completely caused the two sides to tear their faces.

It has to be said that the old mayor's ability to tell stories is much better than Puda's, and in Sean's opinion, at least the old mayor already has the ability to obtain the profession of a bard.

In the past year, under the dictation of the old mayor, it only took less than thirty minutes to tell everything, and the context and organization were clear, so that people would not be confused at all, Sean even saved his saliva to ask, and he had already understood everything he wanted to know.

"So, you have no objection to the incoming new lord's jurisdiction over the town?"

"As long as they can give us refuge, who will oppose it?" The old mayor sighed, "Didn't you go to the mercenaries to help defend in the first place, just to seek shelter and self-protection?" As long as this new lord can fulfill his duties as a lord, who will we oppose to rule? I just hope that the new lord will not be too harsh, in the past year, the income of the town has basically been robbed by the poisonous snake of Harbind, and the rest of the town can only barely make ends meet, and there is no extra money left. ”

Hearing the old mayor's words, Sean nodded silently.

The current situation has been expected by him and Cecilia, so Sean has long been mentally prepared for not being able to receive taxes from Red Leaf Town, or Puda Town this quarter - the first pot of gold obtained from the territory is not so easy to obtain, but the return of the town is more to let the territory have a secure source of funds.

What Sean really hopes is that these towns don't have too strong a sense of resistance. Otherwise, even if he can recover these three towns, he is afraid that he will need to use some means that he does not want to use, which is extremely detrimental to the development of a territory. Fortunately, Momiji Town does not seem to have this sense of resistance, and the current lord system does not show the ownership of Momiji Town, probably because of the existence of the snake of Hubbard.

In other words, as long as the Serpent of Hubbard is solved, Momiji will probably become the first town in his lord's system where you can view detailed data.

Seeing Sean nodding here, Puda, who had been sitting next to him and observing Sean, suddenly spoke: "Are you the new lord sent by the Marquisess?" (To be continued.) )

PS: Second Update...... Finally kicked out. Well, something is completely wrong with my mental condition today, so let's just do two more. There is no point in persevering with the current mental state and mood, and the mind is all a mush. …… So I don't have to ask for a monthly pass or something, I'll recommend the ticket instead! There are a few recommended votes this week, nearly 1,000 fewer than last week.
