Hackwep has been under a lot of pressure lately.
His team is called the Pabra Group. The core members are a dozen Pabra lizards. They are characterized by red scales, relatively weak physical combat capabilities, and good fire magic talents. Half of the dozen or so people are third-ring mages. , two in the fourth ring, and the rest are all first and second ring apprentices.
In addition to the core members, the Pabra Regiment also has a backbone composed of members of various ethnic groups, and a team of slaves, with an overall size of approximately 300 people.
In Red Stone City, the Pabra Group is a strong force, otherwise they would not have monopolized the Phoenix City Trade Road for several months without incident.
But this kind of monopoly cannot be maintained after all, because they have made too much money, and other big gangs in Red Rock City have no money.
As other gangs have less and less savings in their hands, the conflicts between the gangs also begin to expand.
Although Harkwep doesn't care about the death of some people, such deaths are meaningless and are completely a loss-making business.
The Pabra group held on for a while, but when they saw that they couldn't squeeze out any more money, they made conditions and sold a large number of slaves with information on trade routes.
Harkwep actually didn't really want slaves. He always had a hunch in his heart that sooner or later these slaves would become free people.
This premonition did not arise for no reason, but was brought about by His Highness in Phoenix City.
Phoenix City, which lacked magicians and warriors, could not be considered strong, but it was different with the addition of His Highness who had bought spices from him.
Phoenix City strictly prohibits human trafficking, and slavery is also a focus of the crackdown. However, for several months, Hackwep and the freedmen he arranged in the Phoenix City workshop have not found anyone being punished for slave trading.
It was clearly not intended for Phoenix itself.
Red Rock City is dangerous.
Unfortunately, Harkwep's voice cannot decide all matters in the Pabra group. After several attempts to persuade his fellow tribesmen, more than half of them were still unwilling to give up their slaves, so they had no choice but to do this first.
Unexpectedly, something happened just a few days after selling the trade route information.
These bastards are killing people in Phoenix!
When the news was received, more than a hundred people died in Phoenix City!
Hackwep shuddered and was about to duel with the core members of Pabra's group who still wanted to be slaves.
"Are you crazy? The people killed by Hai Ke's gang are none of our business. I don't believe Phoenix City will come over."
"Have you lost your mind? Why don't you believe it?" Hackwep was also polite, "Is there a lord in Red Stone City? If His Highness the special envoy from Phoenix City comes, who will stop him? You? Or him?"
"I've never seen such a bad special envoy. Even if he does come, can't we just push the Hai Ke Gang out?"
My heart went cold, and I suddenly realized that the Pabra people at that time formed a group of fools who had never seen the dangers of the world.
If Phoenix City wants to complete its revenge on the Hai Ke Gang, it must dispatch the army. Once the army is mobilized, do you really think that just throwing out a few wrongdoers will solve the problem? If there was a lord in Red Rock City, we might be able to negotiate, but there isn't!
After staring at the opponents for a long time, Harkwep whispered: "Those who agree to give up their slaves, come to my side."
He couldn't make a decision in the team, but he was indeed one of the ceilings in the team. There was not much hesitation in forming the team, and soon five people gathered around him.
Harkwip raised his scaly hand.
"In the name of the Beast God, I, Huck Vip, quit the Pabra Group." He put down his hand and looked at the people around him, "If you are willing to quit, just follow me."
The leader on the other side couldn't understand what he was doing: "You are really crazy. When did you become such a coward?"
"I just want to live, keep living, you will eventually understand, but it is very likely that you will not be able to wait for that opportunity." Hackwep did not give in at all.
Very few people are punished with the death penalty in Phoenix City. Among non-homicide crimes, only human trafficking, slave trading, and hallucinogen trafficking are punishable by death. By the time His Highness the Special Envoy arrives in Red Rock City, it may be too late to even break away from the relationship.
Maybe if you stay, you will have the opportunity to free the slaves on the spot without having to accept a crime, but Hackwep doesn't want to risk his own life to try this kind of gamble that depends on people's mood.
Although the people around him agreed that the Pabula group did not want slaves, few were really willing to quit with him.
After some hesitation and quarreling, only two tribesmen were brought out.
The rest depends on their fate.
The Pabra Group has a certain nature of a business group. In order to avoid being unable to collect the money distributed to the members temporarily, it has certain public assets. It is impossible for them to forcefully withdraw from the group and want to distribute the money. It is almost equivalent to leaving the house. .
After quitting the Pabra Regiment, there was no need to worry about the sugar factory and trade routes. With nothing to worry about, he took two tribesmen and went directly to Phoenix City to surrender.
Their action was timely. When the three of them arrived in Phoenix City, troops were already being ordered outside the city wall. Not surprisingly, the leader was His Royal Highness the Special Envoy.
Harkwep led the two of them up, but was stopped by the guards.
"Military operations, no approach!"
"The three of us are here to join your army."
The guard hesitated for a while and asked the teammate next to him to report it, and got a reply quickly.
“Go to the municipal building to register, don’t block here.”
The three of them went to the municipal government to register.
I was a little confused when I got the small card. It said "Red Rock City Resident Identity Card" on the back, and it wasn't handwritten, it was embossed.
The special military operation hasn't started yet, and the certificates have been prepared. Can Red Rock City still exist?
After all, the three of them were still worried about their clansmen, so they used magic to disguise themselves and blended into the crowd following the army to go back and have a look.
The Phoenix City Army moved very quickly. They set off in the afternoon and moved to camp more than ten miles in front of Red Rock City the next morning.
Slowly following the melon-eating crowd going to the theater, they were divided into two groups. The three of them used magic to catch up with the group of Blade Tribes, arriving in the afternoon.
The army did not allow ordinary people to approach, so everyone hid a few miles behind the army.
I took the opportunity to ask and found out that these sharp blades were looking for a chance to fight!
ill!
An army of more than a thousand people and more than two thousand sharp-edged people stopped outside the city. You can imagine the chaos in Red Stone City.
The three of them did not act rashly and tried to enter the city in advance. If they were regarded as stealing military information, they would die on the spot and would not have the chance to wait for the subsequent trial.
Fortunately, the three of them are all mages, and they can use magic to see clearly the situation inside and outside even when hiding.
In Red Rock City, they started fighting first.
It was obvious that someone wanted to push the Hai Ke Gang out to die. The Hai Ke Gang could not surrender their heads obediently, so of course they had to resist.
Some freedmen ran away and hid in nearby mountains, and some went directly out of the city to surrender to the Phoenix Army. They were driven to a gathering point with the melon-eaters.
Before the chaos spread throughout the city, it was already nighttime, and the Phoenix Army, which had finished a short rest, approached Red Rock City in full force.
There is no lord in Red Stone City, not even a city wall, and it is a mess of sand inside, with no defense at all.
However, some people still rose up to resist and killed many members of the army.
But it's no use.
Her Highness the Special Envoy didn't even do it herself. A group of people with slightly different costumes she led took down some mages and physics professionals by herself. They were obviously much stronger than ordinary blade soldiers, and some of them survived even a fireball.
The name of the tribe he leads is called the Night Clan, and it is natural to fight at night. Most people in Red Rock City do not dare to take action at night, and simply follow the army's requirements and stay behind closed doors.
There were about three to four hundred dead in the army, and they had already advanced to Red Stone Castle.
Red Stone Castle is the core of Red Stone City, an ancient gathering place for demons. Although it has been in disrepair for a long time, it still has certain geographical advantages.
His Highness the Special Envoy entered the Red Stone Castle alone, and it didn’t take long for no one to resist inside.
The three people in Hackwepp could see clearly that all those who resisted were turned into headless corpses in an instant. Not many people died but no one dared to move. They all dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
There was also a fourth-ring mage among those who died. Unfortunately, even with the shield on, he could not withstand the punch, which made Hackwep feel cold.
Later, someone in the army took language knowledge balls, and the melon-eating people and locals who came with them were recruited on the spot to maintain order. The army was divided into more than a dozen teams, and they went wherever there was movement.
In order to save the lives of the Pabra tribe, Harkwepp and his three men also enlisted at this time to maintain order and take the opportunity to notify the tribe members to break away from the slaves.
Maybe the good times really went on for too long, and there were still people who couldn't let go. In the end, including the three people who left the group, only seven people left the Pabra group.
The rest can only be seen how Phoenix City handles it.
