On the morning of the 31st, some white smoke rose over Inumori City. This was a unique sight after the smelting workshops and blacksmith shops in the city started working.
At the door of the city's warehouse, a group of orcs and dwarves were waiting at the door. In front of them, there was a row of tall lizard mercenaries guarding the warehouse door tightly.
Not long after, a tall pig-headed man came out of the warehouse and said with satisfaction to the werewolf next to him: "Chief Tagwa, the goods in your warehouse are indeed exactly the same. I will explain it to the royal court!"
The werewolf Tagwa looked at the pig-headed man who came down from the royal court with some embarrassment. He tried his best to show a flattering look and said with a smile: "Chief Olson, the goods in this warehouse are not all our Jiaolang family. Most of them belong to local merchants and workshops. Without these things, their production and business will not be able to continue!"
"Looking at what you said, don't they need to pay taxes to the royal court?"
The pig-headed man sneered at the werewolf's statement: "In the past, elven bandits were rampant, which led to local chaos and different trade routes. Now that the royal court's army has come, the elves will have no chance to cause trouble. Merchants will naturally be able to operate. In the future Why worry about not making a profit?"
"Ah, this?"
Tagwa felt disgusted with the pretentious behavior of the royal court envoy, but he did not dare to say it openly. Looking at the local merchants in the warehouse with eager eyes, the werewolf said bravely: "Sir, even if the merchants should pay taxes, they must first pay taxes." After taking away all the materials and goods, how much are these goods worth?"
"Chief Tagwa has finally hit the mark,"
The pig-headed man nodded to the werewolf, walked to the door of the warehouse, and shouted loudly to the residents of the city: "Dear residents of Inusen City, I am Olsen Shigu from the Royal Court. It is robbed by a group of elf bandits every year, which makes it difficult to operate and pay taxes to the royal court. Now the royal court has sent troops! We want to wipe out the gangs, restore order, and make Inumori a peaceful place!"
As soon as the pig-headed man shouted, an orc immediately shouted: "The royal court is coming, Inu Sen is saved! The royal court is coming, and the blue sky is here!"
"Although you all owe the royal court some taxes, I have informed the Beast King to borrow a loan from you. I will use this money to purchase materials and goods in my warehouse at a discount. You can repay the taxes with the profits from your operations. ," Olson Zhidan said loudly, "Don't worry, everyone, my price is absolutely fair, a basic rune board only costs 10 gold coins!"
After the pig-headed man finished speaking, the whole audience was silent. Everyone didn't understand why the original price of 3-5 gold coins was still a discount for 10 gold coins in his mouth.
Olsen looked at the blank stares of the audience and felt quite proud. He asked your Jiaolang family to make blind accounts all day long. You actually dared to claim 2,000 gold coins for a loss of 100 rune coins. Now I will give you a 50% discount at your price. , see who suffers in the end.
"The robbers from the royal court! They seized our goods, blocked our roads, and now they want to rob us of our gold coins. They are extremely shameless!"
A voice shouted loudly in the crowd, instantly making Olson and the lizard soldiers nervous.
"Who? Who dares to insult the officials of the royal court?" the pig-headed man roared angrily, and nodded to the lizard leader next to him, asking him to blow the horn and summon the nearby ambush.
As soon as the lizard man brought the horn to his mouth, an arrow was shot from a distance. The arrow passed through the horn and the lizard man's head, and pierced into the door frame of the warehouse.
"ah?"
"Is someone dead?" The crowd suddenly became confused.
"What?"
Olsen looked at the lizard man in horror, thinking of a terrible situation.
Not far away from the roof of the bungalow, an elf archer jumped up. She was wearing a gray-green cloak, carrying an arrow basket behind her back, and holding a vine-like bow in her right hand.
"The royal court's livestock, I am the leader of the elf gang you mentioned, Vianis!" The elf shouted loudly, "Aren't you going to wipe me out? I will let you know today who is the most powerful gangster in the basin. !”
After saying that, the elf picked up his vine bow and shot two arrows in a row, hitting the two Olson guards in the head again.
"What are you waiting for? Come on, she'll shoot you if you wait any longer!" The pig-headed man roared loudly in fear, and the sound almost caught up with the sound of killing pigs at the New Year's fair.
"Woo~woo"
Two short whistles sounded, and more than 20 lizards and orcs surrounded him from all directions, preparing to beat the elf to death.
"Rumble"
The bungalow at the feet of the elf suddenly shook. A five-meter-tall giant wearing a silver tiger head mask and silver plate armor broke through the wall, carrying an 8-meter-long iron rod with several rows on both ends. It's a sharp toothed blade.
As soon as the giant appeared, all the surrounding soldiers were stunned, and then with a sweep of his stick, he knocked away the five people in front of him.
"This...where did this monster come from?" Seeing this scene, Olson just wanted to run away quickly, but he heard a "swish" sound and an arrow shot through his left shoulder.
"Ah~ help!"
"Chief Olson!"
Siste White Wolf, who came with the pig-headed man, ran to him and helped him escape while saying, "Chief Olson, quickly ask for help from the nearby Royal Court Army. This Inusen City is probably not safe." !”
"Yeah"
The pig-headed man nodded, took out a scroll, tore it open, and shot a red firework from the scroll straight into the sky.
"Moo~" the white-helmeted giant shouted in the distance, and dozens of beasts of burden rushed out of the surrounding streets.
These tall animals that were originally raised by various merchants gathered together and swept towards the warehouse like a city wall. Wherever they went, the orcs and lizards from the royal court were all knocked away, but the local orcs escaped death.
"Boom~" The beasts of burden knocked down the door of the warehouse completely, but after they rushed into the warehouse, neither the elf Viannis nor the silver-helmeted giant was anywhere to be seen.
At this moment, the troops in the royal court were either dead or injured, and those who barely managed to save their lives could only help each other to escape.
The local merchants saw that the people from the royal court were running away, but their livestock had entered the warehouse. Some of them were bold enough to rush directly into the warehouse and quickly load their goods on the beasts of burden.
The first one did this, and soon there were the second and third ones. So in just a few minutes, the originally panicked crowd ran into the warehouse. Even the leader of Jiaolang, Tagawa, quickly called his guards to come over and grab it. goods.
The pig-headed man Olsen and the white werewolf Schister were hiding in the alley from a distance, watching the local orcs almost desperately grabbing, and suddenly a trace of doubt arose in their hearts, why they, the fully armed kings, The imperial army was beaten to pieces by the pack animals, but the local orcs were unscathed.
"What a Jiaolang tribe! What a gang of elves. Are these guys so loyal to the royal court?" Olsen said through gritted teeth as he looked at the lively scene not far away.
"Leader Olson, you have to be patient first. Our army will be here soon. None of these people can escape!"
