Although the border city is called a city, it is a county-level city. The city lord is a count, and the highest commander of the coalition is the captain. Otherwise, Captain Ye Yu would have the final say in a city-level city.
Even so, the leader is considered to be one of the most powerful people in the border town.
There are no more than ten cultivators in the Martial King realm, excluding the city lord and the thousand captains. Among them, there are two in the city lord's palace, only one in the magic and martial alliance, and the rest are people from other forces.
It is not easy to calculate how many cities can be divided into a county. Although the area is not much different, it mainly depends on the construction and prosperity of the city.
Just like the Holy Dragon City, the royal capital of the Holy Dragon Dynasty, it is in the most prosperous area, far away from the war points, but are there many cities there?
Of course not much. As the imperial capital, how can Shenglong City tolerate other cities and towns around it? The most prosperous areas are all enclosed by the imperial capital. The entire Shenglong City covers an outrageous area. It is as big as five Emperor Wu cities, not counting the surrounding villages and towns, and the imperial capital is still expanding.
Because they are far away from the war and the population is increasing, many big families keep some of their clansmen in the imperial capital, which can be regarded as hostages left by expatriates.
The higher the level of the city, the greater the population, forming a virtuous cycle. Only a few cities close to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains could not increase their population. They suffered from years of wars and massive population losses and deaths.
However, in the coalition army, there will be no such thing as being used as a hostage. The coalition army pays more attention to the foundation, mentorship, and factions. Who promotes you and has the kindness to you? In this way, the factions can be easily distinguished. But there are also some people who are promoted only based on their military exploits, their own prestige and their realm. Each of these people is a person with heavy troops and high prestige in the military. Their position may not match their realm, but Such talents are the ones that major factions are vying to invite and win over.
Sun Muqing just wanted Ye Yu to take such a path. Although his position would be suppressed, it would be safe. As long as he remained neutral and did not get involved in factional fights, people from any faction would not be in trouble. After all, they also needed other support. Sound, this type of person is the best choice.
The border town is a relatively miserable county town. It is a miserable place, but it is a good place to gain military exploits. Almost no one from the five imperial dynasties is willing to come here, but the people from the coalition think that this is a good place for gold plating. Here After working for a period of time, as long as there is someone, you may get a promotion and a salary increase, and then reach the top of your life, marry Bai Fumei, and live a long life from then on... Ahem, I'm going too far.
Ye Yu was full of longing for this place. When he walked to the gate of the county city and looked at the people coming in and out, Ye Yu sighed with emotion: "This is where my military career began!"
The guards at the county level are much stricter than those at the city level, and the entry fee is also much higher. The specific charging standards vary depending on the location and are not fixed.
However, compared with Emperor Wu City, there is no comparison at all. After all, Emperor City Wu surpasses Zhoucheng in many aspects. If it were not for the sake of keeping a low profile, it could definitely reach the level of the imperial capital.
Ye Yu chose to line up normally to enter the city. After all, he was about to take office. It was better not to have special privileges in the place where he worked. Several hours passed after waiting in line.
During this period, he saw soldiers blackmailing people into the city, but Ye Yu didn't pay attention to it. There were too many such things. Besides, these soldiers didn't blackmail everyone, they would only do it to some well-traveled businessmen, or people who seemed to be rich but not powerful. Blackmail.
This is also a test of your eyesight. If you blackmail powerful people, they will definitely not be able to get away with it.
The most important thing is that these people are not soldiers of the coalition at all. They should be people from the city lord's palace. Why should he meddle in other people's business? If they blackmail ordinary people or soldiers of the coalition, Ye Yu will definitely take care of it. That is his responsibility. It's like taking care of the local army pretending to be the coalition army on the way here.
Finally, we got to Ye Yu. The other party asked Ye Yu for a silver coin as a fee for entering the city, but he didn't say much and gave the other party a silver coin.
Seeing Ye Yu taking out the silver coins so happily, the clothes he was wearing didn't look cheap, and the war horse, although not very top-notch, was not cheap either. The guard asked Ye Yu for the war horse's entry fee.
When entering the city normally, there is no one who asks for a mount fee. This is because Ye Yu is unfamiliar with him. He is not a local and can get rid of a lot of money. He actually quoted the price of one gold coin.
Although Ye Yu has a little money, he is not stupid. He has never heard that animals need to be paid when entering the city. People can just pay.
And what made Ye Yulai most angry was that he was not as valuable as his war horse.
After hearing the guard asking for money, Ye Yu said angrily: "Am I so worthless? Have you gone crazy thinking about it? In the entire Holy Dragon Dynasty, I have never heard of anyone charging a fee for a mount to enter the city."
Seeing that Ye Yu was about to take action, the guards at the city gate were not afraid, but their eyes were full of teasing.
In such an abnormal situation, Ye Yu guessed the guard's thoughts. Although he was a cultivator fanatic and only read books besides practicing, he did not want to cause trouble in these years, but things always came to him, which also gave him some experience in intrigues. Although I feel disgusted and resisted, I understand clearly.
The guard just wanted him to do something at the gate of the city. If he were an ordinary person or a child of a small family, he would definitely be arrested for this matter. Even if he was strong, even if he was a child of a big family, he would be arrested first to verify his identity. He was definitely going to suffer. Even if he tried to find fault afterwards, it would all come out of nowhere.
This is to bully Ye Yu because he is an outsider and has little influence in the city. After all, he is capable of guarding the city gates and knows the big shots in the city, otherwise he would not dare to do blackmail.
But this time they were mistaken. First of all, they underestimated Ye Yu's strength. As long as a cultivator at the King of Martial Arts level did not attack, he would not suffer.
Even if King Wu takes action, he still has the confidence to escape. Is it a lie to be a sword cultivator? When the space movement technique is just a decoration? Do you think that greedy dragon with no limits is a waste?
What's more, there is the backing of the local coalition forces. Although he has not yet taken office, the people from the coalition forces cannot be bullied by the city lord's palace, let alone that he still has a position.
So after guessing the guard's thoughts, Ye Yu didn't even hesitate and took action directly in front of the city gate.
Although he took action, he still had to worry about the impact. After all, so many people were watching. Ye Yu was so fast that no one could react. He had already restrained the leading division-level guard.
In the eyes of others, Ye Yu suddenly appeared behind the guard and sealed the opponent's Qi Sea with one finger, making it impossible for him to use all his strength. At the same time, he grabbed the opponent and restrained him.
