Chapter 64 Arriving at Kongqing Town
Under the leadership of Lei Xiao, and with the leisurely pace of the group of five people, the mysterious veil of Kongqing Town was gradually unveiled.
At a glance, there is a relatively complete defense system here. The nearly three-meter-high stone city wall completely surrounds the entire town. On the city wall, flags are fluttering and people are looking forward to it.
It can be clearly seen that there are many fully armed soldiers standing guard and patrolling. Under the sunlight, the polished iron armor reflects a slightly dazzling cold light.
"This posture is a bit interesting."
Lei Xiao squinted his eyes slightly and began to observe carefully.
Looking down, the wide-open city gate was bustling with people coming and going.
From time to time, merchants and caravans driving carriages can be seen passing by, surrounded by groups of mercenaries.
Not to mention the merchants in gorgeous clothes, the mercenaries on the side who were responsible for guarding made Lei Xiao look slightly sideways.
I saw that these mercenaries were dressed in various and complicated styles.
Staffs are paired with heavy armor, heavy crossbows are paired with large shields, large swords are paired with commoners, and other weird outfits are available.
But it can be clearly seen that they are basically very ordinary first-level equipment.
"I wonder if those fashion people who have traveled through time will one day teach people how to dress in this other world?"
Seeing this with great interest, Lei Xiao's eyes continued to wander.
As for the strength of the mercenaries, most of them are also at the first level. In terms of momentum alone, Lei Xiao himself, who has reached the first level and nine stars at the speed of light, is much shorter than himself.
Only occasionally can we see a few second-level mercenaries who exude a good momentum, but the third-level mercenaries have not appeared for the time being.
However, through Hu Zhi's perception just now, Lei Xiao could already confirm it.
There are many auras of third-level powerhouses in the city. As for whether there are any higher-level ones, it is still unclear.
But what is certain is that through the information provided by Kunbu before, the country where Kongqing Town is located also has fifth-level powerful people.
This undoubtedly means that even with the knotweed on its side, this country can still produce an equal force to match it.
Having said that, probably because they were near the city gate, these mercenaries looked very relaxed and discussed the topic of women and spirits without restraint. The bold laughter and the clash of armors came one after another, and all kinds of fancy swear words were used. There are even more.
"If these guys traveled to Blue Star, all of them would definitely be talented and well-spoken."
Lei Xiao, whose head was buzzing from the shock, shook his head helplessly.
At least for now, these people cannot pose any threat to themselves.
As for the soldiers responsible for guarding, although their equipment is slightly better, their overall strength is not as good as that of the mercenaries, and there is a slight gap compared to the previous Orc Legion.
"Everything here is exactly the same as what Kunbu said before."
Lei Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze and began to recall the scene at that time.
According to the information provided by Kunbu, this Kongqing town is an important trade hub, so such a prosperous scene and scale is naturally a normal thing.
Because of this, even though the five members of his party have their own characteristics, they do not appear to be too eye-catching among the various mercenaries and merchants.
However, just in case, Lei Xiao still put away the high-level weapons of Huzhang and others and replaced them with ordinary first-level weapons.
As for Ye Cang, Lei Xiao had already asked him privately. Surprisingly, this guy didn't like to carry any weapons and preferred to fight with bare hands.
"Because it is blocked by the huge Demonic Forest, this town far away from the actual border does not seem to have been greatly affected by the war."
While pondering, Lei Xiao nodded to Huzhang and the others beside him, then took his own steps again and started walking towards the city gate.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the city gate in front, followed immediately by a series of curses.
It sounds like there was a disagreement between the two mercenary teams because of the task.
After a while, the noise began to get louder and louder, and the verbal conflict quickly turned into a physical conflict, and a fierce fight began.
For a moment, the sounds of crackling weapons and wailing were mixed together, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
This sudden change quickly caused a large crowd of spectators to gather around.
There were even a few soldiers guarding the gate, all looking gloating.
Although their responsibilities include maintaining public security, they only target ordinary civilians. In this situation, they are not within their jurisdiction.
After all, one of the mercenary forces is inextricably linked to the City Lord's Mansion. Even the City Lord turns a blind eye and closes one eye, as long as the appearance is acceptable, let alone ordinary soldiers like them. .
"Lord Qi, there is a small-scale battle ahead. On one side are two second-order peaks and three first-order peaks. On the other side are one second-order and four first-order peaks. How should we deal with it?"
Nan Xing, who had a keen sense of perception, bowed and saluted Lei Xiao.
"It has nothing to do with us, just go straight to the city."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, indicating that Nan Xing didn't need to be polite here, and responded without hesitation.
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the group of five people continued to walk towards the city gate.
However, just when Lei Xiao and his party were about to bypass the crowd watching the excitement in front, they found that the door was already blocked.
"Lord, do you need your subordinates to clear out these little reptiles?"
Huzhang frowned, his muscles trembling slightly, and asked Lei Xiao for instructions.
"Don't worry, no matter how much the little crawlers clean up, they are just little crawlers. I am more curious about who the master behind them is."
Lei Xiao squinted his eyes slightly, carefully observed everything around him, and responded: "Before you understand all the forces entrenched here, exposing your strength prematurely is tantamount to alerting the enemy."
Just as Lei Xiao finished speaking, something happened.
A gap suddenly opened in the crowd, and a figure stumbled backwards, suddenly bumping into Lei Xiao's direction. Apparently, he was repelled by someone from the other side.
Seeing that abominable figure was about to hit the Lord, Nan Yue, who was protecting Lei Xiao, had a stern look on her face and subconsciously took off with a flying kick.
With a flash of strong wind, it directly kicked the opponent back along the original route like a ball!
In mid-air, I saw the unlucky man wearing a dark gray leather armor. Before he could understand what happened, he passed out while flying.
Until it landed heavily on the open space in the middle of the warring parties with a loud bang.
For a moment, the entire scene froze.
Not only the onlookers, but also the two warring parties in the center of the focus, stopped fighting in unison, and all looked in the direction of Lei Xiao, with expressions of surprise.
Lei Xiao, who instantly became the center of attention, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, with a look of helplessness on his face.
It seems that things have obviously become a little complicated. (End of chapter)
