Chapter 27: Run away after kicking
In the previous life, Zalanda and the others were chased by the hobgoblins behind them. They were chased in a panic and had no time to protect themselves. How could they have the time to gather the residents along the way? Those who joined were still intact. There were many, especially the Nott militiamen who suffered the most serious losses. Even if they arrived in Darauma City, they would not arouse too much suspicion.
It’s hard to say in this life. Now Gavin has reason to suspect that when Zalanda and the others arrive at Darauma, whether they can enter the city smoothly is a problem. They are directly turned away. It's possible.
As a result, the conflict between Zalanda and the current rulers of Darauma is likely to break out in advance.
Gavin was not too worried about this matter.
In his previous life, even though Zalanda lost his troops and his prestige was greatly affected, he still gained control of Darauma City and turned it into his own place of dragon prosperity.
What's more, now that Zalanda has strong troops and strong prestige, his prestige and reputation are at the peak, and he has chopped off two oil bottles in advance.
If the ruler of Darauma City was smarter, adopted a gentle policy, and followed Zalanda's kind nature, he would not be easily overthrown even if he had an absolute advantage.
If she makes a decision that puts people's lives at risk for the sake of her dominance, it will directly touch Zalanda's reverse scale. It's hard to say what kind of drastic decision she will make.
Gavin soon saw the second and third patrol cavalry from Dalauma.
The feeling of being destroyed by the storm becomes stronger the closer you get to Dalauma City.
When they arrived outside the south gate of Darauma City, Gavin knew that Zalanda and the others would definitely not be able to enter the city.
Because this place is already overcrowded. Outside the city wall, there are temporary tents set up, densely packed, with not one thousand but eight hundred.
Gavin believed that the situation outside the other city gates should be the same.
Dalauma is already overcrowded.
No wonder the city lord of Darauma City reacted so radically. These refugees outside the city were enough to give him a headache. If there were another wave of organized people, no matter who they were, they would feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Not to mention getting close to the city gate, even those refugee camps, Gavin did not dare to get too close, because he was afraid that Vic would be beaten to death by those angry refugees.
Even if he got close, Gavin didn't think he could enter the city, but how could he find a suitable caravan if he didn't enter the city?
Before Gavin could think of a countermeasure, a sneaky and thin figure came closer and said, "Brother, do you want to go to the city?"
That wretched look, It looks like the men advertising small ads outside major stations around the world.
"How much?" Gavin got straight to the point.
"How many of you are there?" The wretched man looked at the two horses and the goblin warlock with his eyes, as if he was appraising them.
“Is there any difference in price if there are more people than there are people?” Gavin asked curiously.
"Of course." The wretched man suddenly became more energetic when he saw Gavin willing to discuss it. "There are many people but few people. Of course, the price is not the same. For this kind of thing, of course, the less the better, if it's just you One person, give me your two horses and hitch this goblin slave. If there are more people, it will cost one hundred gold coins per person. Let's start."
"Will you settle the score?" Gavin said angrily, "You just said that the fewer people there are, the less money you have. What you said is completely the opposite. Watch out. But a good war horse starts at 500 gold coins each, and one is enough for five people. How come two war horses have to be paid for at a fraction of the price.”
"Brother, you don't understand the market." The wretched man analyzed clearly and logically, "It's because you are a high-class war horse that I offer you this price. If it were an ordinary horse, you would have to give me ninety gold coins. Here, war horses are worthless, you If you want it, give me a hundred gold coins, and I will buy you three better ones in less than half an hour. If you go out and sell them, your two war horses can sell for sixty, no more." "Can't you bring the war horse into the city?" Gavin reacted immediately.
"Brother is really a smart man. Those who went in first sold what they brought. The prices have been reduced a long time ago. Not only can't you bring the livestock into the city, you slave "You can't bring him into the city." The wretched man looked like he was doing it for your own good and was helping you.
"I see, I misunderstood my brother." Gavin showed a look of realization. "I wonder if my brother has a way to leave Darauma? Both water and land can be used."
"Brother, are you worried about Dalauma's city defense? Do you want to leave here?" The wretched man became more energetic, " You've asked the right person. I happen to know that a merchant ship bound for Mailatma will set sail at any time. I have a relationship with the captain of this ship. It won't be a problem to fit one person in. It's still the previous quotation. As long as the brother nods, I'll try to get you on board tonight, but you can't take these things with you anyway."
"Well..." Gavin looked embarrassed, "Actually, I'm a little seasick. If I can take the land route, I'd better not let it go? I just don't know if there are many caravans going to Tasselburg recently?"
"Land route, that's a bit difficult. Who can make me soft-hearted? As long as my brother really wants to leave, I can still find a way for you." The wretched man slapped his chest loudly.
“Forget it, I have raised these two horses since they were young. They have feelings for each other and cannot part with them. I’ll just wait and see!” Gavin declined in embarrassment.
From the beginning to the end, Gavin regarded the wretched man as the source of information he sent to his door, and had no intention of doing business with him at all.
Because he was afraid, he paid for himself and sold himself.
Never underestimate the darkness of these people. Many of them are even scarier than the monsters in the wild. Those monsters want to eat your flesh at most. They want to pull out your bones and even your soul.
It is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. The wretched man is obviously not so easy to get rid of. When he heard that the deal could not be done, his face immediately dropped and he said with a dark face: "If you don't want to do business, why don't you ask me to ask questions?" What are you doing? Do you really think our brothers are so easy to bully?"
While he was talking, four or five fat and strong men surrounded him from a distance.
“Brother, this is a lie, are you ready to rob it openly?” Gavin knew that the man in front of him was not a good thing, but he didn’t expect to be so bold. There was Dalauma’s city defense team in the distance. Wandering around.
"These are our war horses and our slaves. If you know what they are doing, you can return them obediently. Otherwise, don't blame me for arresting you for questioning." The wretched man yelled loudly and bit back when he came up. One mouthful.
The city defense team of Dalauma, not far away, heard the movement. Not only did they not come over to check, but they walked towards the distance as if nothing had happened.
In this case, either the wretched men and this group of people have very good backgrounds in Dalauma, and even the city defense team dare not control them.
Either there is collusion between the two parties.
This is another trouble caused by being alone and weak. It doesn’t matter whether you talk to him or not. Anyway, the other party will think of ways to trick you. Who makes you look young and easy to bully? What does it look like?
“Fuck you! Run!” Gavin raised his leg, kicked the wretched man, jumped on his horse, turned around and ran away.
Completely unaware of the situation here, the only thing Gavin could do was to turn around and run away.
Ouch!
The wretched man turned into a gourd on the spot. While rolling, he covered his crotch and screamed like a pig.
The local snakes surrounding him obviously didn't expect that Gavin, who looked young, would react so decisively. By the time they sped up and ran this way, the opponent had already run more than ten meters away.
