Chapter 681 Barbarian Soldiers and Village Women (2)

The City of Tamir, the central city of Tamir Sona, the Elf Zone, was once a prosperous business capital.

Thanks to the construction and transformation of the elves who have settled here for generations, the city of Tamir has one of the best unique scenery even if you look at the entire Pylada Empire. It is precisely because of this that when you travel between Alanon and Pylada The elf caravans of the Parada Empire always concentrate their goods in the warehouses of this city first, and then spread them to every corner of the Parada Empire.

According to statistics from mainland historians, at its peak, the total resident and floating population in Tamir City reached nearly one million, and about a quarter of the permanent population had the blood of elves.

But since the war between the two countries became more and more intense, everything has changed. The city of Tamir has become another "Red Pine City". The minions of the Heretic Trial Temple have entered the city of Tamir. They rely on the arrest order issued by the Pope. Purebred elves are being roundly captured, and the racists hidden among the crowd are constantly fanning the flames, instigating conflicts between half-elves and ordinary humans. Looting and disputes gradually replace peaceful daily life and become the main theme of the city.

For all this, the city's defenders turned a blind eye, and the rich and powerful in the city contributed to the flames. In the end, Tamir Sona lost her life under the cruelty of humans, and the city of Tamir was destroyed amidst the anger of the citizens.

War is a double-edged sword. The hatred caused by the war between the two countries not only poisons the elves, but also stabs humans themselves!

Nowadays, the city of Tamir has been reduced to a "refugee concentration camp". Apart from the occasional scavengers and travelers preparing to move north to safety, its visitors are only those who can walk leisurely in the conflict. Zone, there are two types of people who are not harmed by swords——

Traveling merchant groups, and bards.

It’s funny to say that although they have the same treatment, the reasons are quite different:

As for the traveling business groups, many traveling business groups wandering in the cracks of war, the true identity of their leaders is often business representatives working for large chaebols. They act as intermediaries to lobby local dignitaries and warlords on behalf of the chaebols to form cooperation. Relationships, mutual exchanges, and the price difference between the two are also enough for the business group to make a lot of money.

After having funds, the mercenaries under the traveling merchant group are also strong. What is more fearful than the mercenaries is that because they are backed by large chaebols, these people are like fat sheep with a tiger standing behind them. They may look fresh and tender. It's delicious, but the moment you bite into it, you have to be prepared for the tiger's revenge.

Therefore, no one is willing to go to war with the business group unless they are fearless or extremely vicious, and would be hated by the large chaebols.

Bards, on the other hand, are just the opposite. They are always walking on the road, recording what they see and hear and compiling it into stories and songs. They use the sky as their cover and the earth as their clothes. They have no oil or water on their bodies. They have the ability to escape like a scout. and survival skills often give the soldiers who capture them a headache.

Therefore, instead of going all out to arrest the bards, it is better to give some rewards and invite them to come to the camp to play and sing, talk about their adventures along the way, make their brothers happy, or ask them for information. See if you can find holes in the enemy's defenses.

However, if they are female bards, they may need more efforts to survive in this chaotic world.

For example, now...
