The Sunset Tavern in Red Leaf Town welcomed three guests who were a little different today.

The tavern owner personally served these three people, and just looking at the constant shaking of his hand holding the tray, you could know that the boss was not at ease at the moment.

But come to think of it, if anyone's shop in Momiji Town is surrounded by a group of mercenaries, I'm afraid it won't be easy.

In the past year, this mercenary group, which was supposed to bring a sense of security to Red Leaf Town, has brought a kind of fear to the townspeople here, especially in the last few days, which has made the townspeople not leave their homes easily unless necessary. It's just that the taverns in the town can't help it, these mercenaries come to the tavern every day to drink, and sometimes they start knocking on the door in the morning, so the other shops can close the door and ignore it, but the few taverns in the town can't do that.

And for the sake of safety, there are no maids working in these taverns anymore.

The tavern owner managed to put the tray on the table, and then placed the food on the tray - two portions of heavy meat steaks and one serving of red maple noodles unique to Momiji Town, one by one in front of the three guests. I don't know if Lu Dao was too nervous or too scared, but when the boss picked up the last meat steak, he accidentally shook his hand, and as a result, he spilled some of the sauce inside.

"Right...... Right...... ......"At this point, the tavern owner became even more nervous, and he couldn't say a simple sentence of only three words for most of the day.

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

"Yes." The tavern owner nodded, then his face changed dramatically, and he immediately shook his head, "No...... It's not ......"

Sean chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we won't pay the bill." ”

So, the tavern owner showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Well, that's probably not enough food. You can have a few more steaks. Sean glanced at Anno's plate. It had only been a few seconds since he had spoken to the tavernkeeper, and Anno's plate had been licked so clean that it looked so smooth that it could be used as a mirror, "My companion...... I can eat it more. ”

"A few copies are not enough." Anno said angrily.

"Then you said you wanted a few copies." Sean said with some tears and laughter.

"Three ......"

"Three?"

"Thirty copies."

Sean was already a little speechless.

Then, he turned his head and glanced at the boss, who seemed to know what Sean was going to say, so he could only say with a bitter face: "There are thirty copies of the stock available." But there are not enough people in the store, and ......"

With that, the tavernkeeper looked sideways at the other people sitting in the hall, his face very uneasy.

This tavern with a sunset red sign is one of the famous old signboards in Momiji Town, and it is said that it has been handed down from the grandfather's generation of the tavern owner's grandfather. But then because of poor management. It almost closed several times, so the tavern is getting more and more dilapidated, although this tavern can be said to sell the most authentic wine in Red Leaf Town, and there is a special food such as red maple noodles, but this also means that consumption is more expensive, so this sunset tavern has been living a situation of making ends meet for a very long time.

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

in the hall. Nearly twenty tables were already full.

These people are clearly divided into two groups: both groups of people wear standard clothing. One red and one blue, but the styles of the two clothes are a little different. And this group of people in red clothes. Most of them were older, basically about thirty years old, and the weapons placed on the table were mainly two-handed swords, a few were equipped with shields, and their clothes were embroidered with a coat of arms, which looked like a snake.

There is no doubt that this group is all mercenaries.

The biggest difference between mercenaries and mercenaries is that the former takes war as the main activity, so their weapons and costumes are relatively uniform standard equipment. The more famous the mercenary group, the more they will pay attention to their own military discipline, and at the same time have stable logistics and reserve recruits, and because the mercenary group often participates in war activities, the more famous the mercenary group, the more terrible the combat effectiveness, and the more complete the troops; Although they occasionally participate in wars, they are indeed inferior to mercenaries in terms of training and military discipline, and there is no unified system for weapons and clothing, which is completely varied.

In order to distinguish the main difference between the two, the mercenary union added the word "hire" in front of "mercenary" to distinguish between the two. But in fact, whether it is a mercenary group or a mercenary group, once the scale is larger, the two will usually be merged and developed at the same time, so in the end, it is actually the same way, and there is no real distinction in the strict sense, of course, there are some mercenary groups or mercenary groups that do not disdain to develop on the other side.

In the hall, in addition to this group of mercenaries, the other group of people wearing blue uniforms were some young people, only a few middle-aged men over the age of thirty. Their weapon is also a standard weapon, but it is a long spear, the body of the gun is wooden, only an iron spear head is installed in front, this kind of thing is a few copper coins, and there are weapon shops all over the street, and the production does not require any technical content at all, even if it is a blacksmith apprentice.

Therefore, the identity of this group of people is also very different, the militia regiment of Red Leaf Town.

Why would these two groups appear here at the same time, Sean knew exactly what was going on.

In the final analysis, it was because of Anno, a fool, who knocked down five mercenaries - if it was Sean, he would definitely choose an alley and kill all five of them without knowing it; But Anno, a fool, casually stopped the five mercenaries sitting on the road, gave the other party a punch when the other party didn't know what was going on, and then directly beat the five people down after a few hard punches.

It's nothing, but the place Anno chose was the square of Momiji Town, so this scene was naturally seen by many people.

"Big brother, are you kidding me?" After knowing this situation, Sean thought helplessly.

But fortunately, Anno didn't know what the short circuit was, at least he didn't kill these five people, so things didn't get to the point where the two sides had to fight with knives and guns as soon as they met, otherwise Sean would continue to enter the town. He had already turned around and ran away with Anno and the others. At the very least, we will not come back until we have gathered our troops.

As for the purpose of the militia group, it is to prevent these mercenaries from making any unpleasant trouble. According to the vague words that Sean heard from Anno, after the hard work of himself and Cecilia, and after knocking on the side from the tavernkeeper, he finally figured out that after a conflict broke out between the mercenary group and the militia group a few days ago, 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 comparative understanding of the strength of this mercenary group.

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

Just when the boss was a little embarrassed and helpless, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open. The person who came was very strong, or full of aura, because the sound of this door was very strong when it was pushed open. Completely attracting everyone's attention, a large man with a figure almost not inferior to Anno walked in with a heavy hammer.

When the other party lowered the hammer, Sean could even feel a vibration from the ground.

The weight of this hammer can be seen.

Sean's gaze shifted from the other party's hammer to the middle-aged man, and then to his face: a barbarian. Look at the bloodline, it should be from the Savage Lands. Now. Sean was more interested in this mercenary group because of the tribes of the Savage Lands. It has never been easy to join any organization outside the Savage Lands, and if this mercenary group can let such a barbarian join, then it must have something to do with the tribes on the other side of the Savage Lands.

"Who just wounded our Harbinder Serpent?"

Unlike Anno's urns, the barbarian was so loud that his voice almost toppled the roof of the tavern. However, this is also a situation peculiar to the tribes of the Savage Lands, after all, for a place where there are frequent wars, momentum is often more important than others, because it will affect the morale and reputation of a tribe, etc.

Anno glanced up at the other man, but quickly lost interest, arguing with a big man about his size was far less comfortable than eating a few more steaks himself. Of course, the main reason is that Sean didn't speak, so Anno, who followed William's instructions, naturally kept his mouth shut and ignored the other party, anyway, this kind of quarrel and the like, Sean will naturally be responsible.

A mercenary suddenly stood up and stretched out his hand to Sean and the others: "Deputy Commander, it's them!" I was in the square just now, and I saw it with my own eyes. ”

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

His face was actually a little uneasy, after all, the deputy head of the Harbinder Serpent in front of him was also a well-known murderer in Red Leaf Town, and once he launched a mad attack, only the head of the Harbinder Serpent could subdue him, so this middle-aged man was very reluctant to face this barbarian. But in the current situation, if he doesn't stand up and speak, then the militia group may really deviate from morality, after all, this is a militia team that has been formed by relying on blood and courage, and I heard that the new lord is also about to arrive, and this mercenary group will definitely be driven away at that time, and if there are some bad rumors in Red Leaf Town, then it will inevitably affect the development of Red Leaf Town.

Under such circumstances, the middle-aged man of the militia group would open his mouth to stop it.

"Humph!" The barbarian, known as the Heavy Hammer, glanced at the middle-aged man, snorted heavily, and shouted, "It's none of your business, get out of here!" If you dare to intervene, don't blame me for slamming my hammer on you. ”

Hearing this, the faces of all the militia members changed.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Serpent of Hubbard had a heavy hammer and their leader, this mercenary group would actually be a mercenary group similar to himself and others in the eyes of the Red Leaf Town militia group. They may not have a lot of combat experience, and their personal strength is somewhat inferior to the other party, but in terms of numbers, he is twice as many as the other party, if the two sides really fight, the militia group will certainly suffer heavy casualties, but the fate of the mercenary group of the snake of Hubbard will never be much better.

It is precisely because of this that both sides have actually maintained some kind of restraint. Even if there were occasional provocations and mutual abuse, no one really made a move, and the few conflicts of more than a dozen people actually won and lost each other. The Serpent of Hubbinder did not achieve complete suppression on a real scale. This is also the reason why the Red Leaf Town Militia is very combative to this day.

If it had really been suppressed and bullied, how could this militia regiment dare to come out and meddle in its affairs, it would have been disbanded a long time ago.

But now the two sides are actually only one step away from completely tearing their faces. The official letter sent from the fortress of Tonys a few days ago had caused a real large-scale conflict between the two sides, and it was the regimental commander who made the last mistake, so the militia group suffered a big loss. Hundreds of people were injured in varying degrees of severity, but fortunately no one died, and perhaps it was precisely because of this that the two sides did not really tear their faces.

But with the arrival of a new lord, it will be sooner or later.

I heard that the new lord had arrived at the Black Swan Castle in the Anglodar Mountains yesterday. I believe that in the next few days, I should come to inspect the territory that belongs to my name. It's just that the people of Momiji Town have heard the mercenaries of the Harbinder Serpent mention it, and the lord seems to have brought less than two hundred people, so the Habinder Serpent, who was originally a little worried, seems to have become stable because of this, and even intensified the exploitation of the townspeople.

The most significant point is that in the past, these mercenaries would pay for drinking, but in the past few days, they have not paid at all for drinking in the tavern, and both taverns have been forced to close one after another. But the mercenaries didn't go too far, at least not like the mercenaries on the Dabrohn side. actually went to attack people's houses and rob women. Anyone who dared to resist was killed by them, and it was originally a town of nearly five thousand people. It's almost a dead town now.

However, the arrogant attitude of the heavy hammer really annoyed many young militiamen, who were filled with righteous indignation, and stood up one after another, as if they wanted to refute something, but they were stopped by the middle-aged man of the militia group. In the conflict a few days ago, there were more than 200 people in their militia group, and the mercenaries of the snake of Hubbard were only more than 100 people.

And at this moment, the snake of Hubbinder had a heavy hammer on the side that was not inferior to their leader, which made this middle-aged man need to be cautious.

As a result, the mercenaries of the Serpent of Hubbard showed a contemptuous mocking look on their faces, which made the militia members even more angry, and several of them had already clenched their spears around them, as if they were ready to rush forward and fight fiercely.

Although the hammer is a barbarian, the people from the tribes of the Savage Lands, even if they are called the most brainless barbarians, are more cunning than ordinary barbarians. So the faces of the militia group changed, he actually had a full view, before coming here, his regiment commander had already explained, try not to fight with the militia group, just scare and scare them, but if the other party is really disobedient, then it is not impossible to teach a little lesson.

Of course, the people of Hubbinder's Serpent know very well that if they "teach a lesson" with a hammer, then it is impossible to be as measured as their commander, and they will definitely die. However, since their regiment leader dared to say such a thing, he naturally considered the consequences, so those of them who were members of the regiment only had to do it.

But now, he was still very satisfied with the reaction of the militia group, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at Sean and snorted coldly: "Little bit, tell me, did you hurt our people?" ”

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

But unlike what everyone imagined, Sean didn't have any panicked look, but turned his head to look at the big guy named Hammer for a long time: "Your name is Hammer?" ”

The hammer raised his head proudly, let out a breath from his nostrils, and said, "That's right! I'm the hammer! The deputy head of the Serpent of Hubbinder! ”

"You are a good candidate for unitary chief, why don't you stay in a wild place, what are you doing in such a place? I guess which tribe you're from. Sean asked lazily, "The Stone Hammer Tribe?" The Barbarian Tribe? Eagle Tribe? The Lionheart Tribe? Great War Drum Tribe? ”

As Sean pronounced a tribe name, Hammerhammer's gaze was shocked.

These tribes are all famous and large tribes in the wilderness, and the further down the order, the stronger the tribe becomes. And these tribes all have one thing in common, that is, they all have barbarians living in these tribes, according to the barbarian customs of the wilderness, the best barbarians in the tribe will have a "hammer" after their names, and they are all one of the candidates for the next tribal chief, which is similar to the noble heir.

But ordinary people don't know the customs and tribes of the Savage Land, even if it is the kingdom army that has been fighting against the Savage Land for a long time, at most, it is just the name of the tribe that can force them to retreat, after all, there are more than a hundred tribes in the entire Wild Land, how can it be possible to remember or even understand the situation of these tribes. Therefore, being able to say the names of these tribes and the customs of the Savage Lands at such a casual rate as Sean is extremely rare outside of the Savage Lands.

People like this usually have deep friendships with the tribes of the Wild Lands.

At this moment, Hammer's attitude towards Sean became a little respectful: "Which tribe are you a distinguished guest of?" ”

It is no wonder that the Heavy Hammer is like this, after all, the customs and fears of the Wild Lands have been deeply implanted in the souls of the tribesmen of the Wild Lands, and they also believe that the Great Wizard will always observe their words and deeds, and disrespect for the tribal nobles will cause bad luck, which is why the Heavy Hammer is so respectful.

It's just a pity that no one except Cecilia knows what kind of noble guest Sean is of the Savage Land tribe, this guy is just a god stick. (To be continued.) )
