Chapter 471, Mahone’s territory
In a dense forest.
Several militiamen, holding shields and spears, were fighting with a huge black wild bear.
In the distance, there are several archers shooting arrows from a distance.
This kind of wild bear is a third-level monster with dark fur, rough skin and thick flesh. It is difficult for arrows and sharp blades to penetrate the wild bear's fur.
The huge figure, when standing upright, is nearly three meters tall.
Every time the thick bear claws were swung out, a militiaman would fly backwards.
It rolled down several times and was very embarrassing.
Fortunately, the quality of the shield in the hands of the militia was pretty good, but it knocked the person unconscious. After shaking his head, the militia got up again. It seemed that the damage was not serious.
The militiamen surrounded the wild bear in the middle, using their shields to resist the attack while constantly thrusting their spears.
As time went by, scars gradually left on the giant bear's body.
Although it is not efficient, it is more reliable.
Just when the militiamen thought they would wear it to death bit by bit by relying on this method.
The giant bear covered in blood suddenly changed.
The giant bear suddenly stood up, looked up to the sky and let out an angry roar.
Shuangye's blood was red, and his already huge figure suddenly grew in size.
The militiamen widened their eyes and looked at the change of the giant bear in disbelief.
The giant bear had already bitten a militiaman in front of him.
The huge mouth filled with stench instantly bit off half of the militiaman's body. Only the two legs that remained of the half body remained in place and slowly fell to the ground.
The first militiaman died suddenly in front of everyone.
This made all militiamen feel a life and death crisis.
Bang!
Everyone was just about to disperse and flee when there was another loud noise.
The huge bear paw was swung out, and the bodies of four more militiamen flew out, lying on the ground, life or death unknown.
The remaining militiamen who had not flown out widened their eyes and looked at what was happening in front of them in surprise.
this…….
Letting the remaining people deal with the violent giant bear in front of them would simply lead to death.
For a moment, everyone stood still.
He looked at the behemoth in front of him in horror.
roar! !
The giant bear roared again.
He opened his huge mouth and bit the remaining militiamen in front of him again.
Just when the militiamen were so frightened that they thought that half of their bodies would be bitten off.
Suddenly there was a rapid and intensive sound of horse hooves in the distance.
The sound of horse hooves came very quickly.
It was as if when they heard it, they were already nearby.
Bang bang bang...!
As they got closer, gunfire rang out.
When the giant bear was about to bite off the enemy's head, several bloody holes exploded in its body and head.
Its huge body has also become a target for others.
The giant bear let out a scream.
Then, with a 'bang', he fell to the ground, stirring up a burst of smoke and fallen leaves.
Blood flowed down the grass and under the bear's corpse.
It spread to the feet of the militiamen.
The militiamen still stood there blankly.
Looking at the body lying on the ground, I couldn't react.
At this moment, the sound of dense horse hooves approached quickly.
A group of cavalry wearing golden armor came over.
The faces of the militiamen became tense again.
Not to mention that he had just killed the violent giant bear in one go, but his golden equipment was enough to attract their attention.
Even the nearby big cities cannot equip such a sophisticated cavalry team.
Moreover, there are cavalry with powerful long-range weapons.
Facing such a cavalry team, they didn't even have a chance to escape.
The cavalry came closer.
The leader, a cavalry general wearing gold armor with black edges, flicked the reins, and the horse took two steps forward, looking down at the militiamen below.
"Just a few of you?" A female voice came from under the golden armor.
The militiamen looked back at the people who had fallen to the ground not far away, and then looked at the cavalry, with a trembling voice, "There are only five of us left."
The cavalry general nodded slightly.
He said to the cavalry behind him: "Bring them all to the lord's side."
The cavalry behind them took action and led the five people out of the woods.
Entering the long and slender team coming towards me.
Arriving at the middle of the line, they stopped in front of a carriage.
"Sir, the killing cry came from them. Five people died, and there are still five of them left." Assetti spoke softly.
The curtain on the car window was opened through a gap, revealing a young face.
"Why are you here?" A voice came from the carriage.
The militiamen, who kept their heads lowered, knew that they were asking a question about their group. One of them looked at his companions carefully before he carefully answered, "S-Sir, we came out to hunt according to the order of the lord. We were just hunting. Hunting a giant bear, thanks to your men for saving us.”
The militiaman's answer was clever.
He mentioned that his lord was not a bandit in the mountains and forests, and at the same time thanked him and others for being rescued.
Fang Hao opened the curtain wider.
I took a careful look at the attire of these militiamen.
The shield covered with claw marks is an [iron buckler], and the spear is a [military war spear].
Even the linen clothes and the armor worn outside were items sold in Fang Hao's shop.
I also met a loyal customer.
Fang Hao continued to ask: "Who is your lord and what is his name?"
this…….
Previously, several militiamen answered all questions and acted very obediently.
But when asked about this sentence, several people began to fall silent at the same time.
He glanced at the carriage window tremblingly, then immediately lowered his head.
They don't know where these people come from, but they can confirm that the strength of this team is definitely not something that their own territory can resist.
Several people looked at each other, and one of them hesitated a little before whispering: "Sir, our lord is Lord Mahon."
This is not because the militiamen are not loyal enough to the lord, but because by reporting their family status here, they can better prove that they are not bandits.
At that time, the lord will also need to negotiate with these people and take them back.
After hearing this, Fang Hao nodded. When he heard this name, he thought he was a time traveler.
"Okay! You arrange for two people to go back and report that my name is Fang Hao. I am passing through here and hope to stay one night from the city."
Several militiamen looked at each other.
Then he selected two people and ran towards the territory, rolling and crawling.
As soon as they left, the team began to move slowly in the direction they left.
After walking for half an hour.
A militia team came out from the distance.
After another simple inspection, the militia team passed through the team and came to the carriage.
The young man at the head glanced at the team, which was armed to the teeth.
He carefully said to the carriage: "Brother Fang Hao, is that you?"
Fang Hao opened the curtain again and said, "It's me. My team happened to be passing by here. There are no villages around here. I want to stay here for one night. Do you think it's okay?"
Ma Hong looks to be less than thirty years old, with somewhat dark skin. He wears a white short-sleeved upper body and black sweatpants with three white stripes on the lower body.
He observed Ma Hong, who was actually more curious about what Fang Hao looked like.
In the channel, many versions of Fang Hao's identity were circulated.
What about special forces, the Guwu family, the reincarnation of the God of War, and some people say that Fang Hao has awakened the plug-in system.
In short, there is anything to say.
Although the credibility is not high, it also adds a sense of mystery to Fang Hao's identity.
At this time, when Ma Hong saw it with his own eyes, he found that Fang Hao's appearance was more ordinary than imagined.
He doesn't have three heads and six arms, and he doesn't have a burly figure.
Just a young man full of nobility.
After seeing Fang Hao's appearance, Ma Hong's surprise began to shift to this luxurious army.
Not only are there high-level special units, there are also two orange heroes.
He would never dare to do this kind of luxurious configuration.
Ma Hong coughed twice and said immediately: "Boss, what are you talking about? Of course it's okay."
For an army like Fang Hao, if they inform him now, they have already given him a lot of face. If he doesn't agree, the other party will be able to capture his city in a blink of an eye.
"Okay, then please lead the way. It's getting late and my people are a little tired." Fang Hao continued.
"Okay, no problem."
Mahon immediately went to the front to lead the army from the city of Lysis.
The procession continued for a while.
The city can already be seen.
Mahone's territory is located in the middle of a dense forest, and many of the surrounding trees have been cut down.
A number of lumber camps and ranching fields were established.
The development of his city is pretty good. The city wall has almost reached the level 6 standard, and sentry towers have been built on the four corners of the city wall.
There are soldiers standing guard on the guard tower.
The gate is open, and there are many horses and iron thorns placed on both sides of the city gate.
Many residents of the city were standing in front of the door.
The residents include men, women, old and young. There should be refugees settling in the city, and there are quite a few of them.
Under the guidance of Ma Hong, the large team entered the city unimpeded.
Along the way, residents pointed at the carriage and whispered about the origin of the team.
Fang Hao got off the carriage and was protected by Dimitga and others.
Ma Hong stood on the outside and said: "Brother Fang Hao, look at the limited housing in the city. With so many people, I'm afraid there won't be enough room."
There are not many residential houses in the city.
The number is simply not enough to accommodate an entire army.
Of course, Fang Hao didn't want to occupy other residents' houses, so he said directly: "Ma Hong, just help us create three single rooms, and we will carry tents for the rest."
"Oh, okay." Ma Hong responded immediately.
While Mahone was preparing the room, Rebecca got out of the carriage.
He brought his personal guards and accompanying maids with him and came to Fang Hao.
"I didn't realize it, but you are quite famous. They all know you here."
Although she did not come forward, she heard the conversation between the two.
It was obvious that the two of them had never met before.
But what the other party said was a big boss, and what he called was a friendly one.
"There's no way around a man's charm." Fang Hao shook his hair.
Rebecca curled her lips, looking like I would be surprised if I believed you.
Not long after.
Mahone walked over and looked at Rebecca in surprise.
A woman who combines dignity and charm will immediately attract the attention of men wherever she goes.
Quietly gave Fang Hao a thumbs up.
And the latter also cast a look that you know.
Ma Hong coughed lightly and said: "Boss, the room is ready. Why don't you stay in my Lord's Mansion? It's not bad there."
"No, we'll just stay one night. I'm sorry to bother you." Fang Hao refused.
Coming here is just a place on the way.
The teams also carried marching tents.
How many rooms are needed, mainly so that Rebecca and a few heroes can live more comfortably.
After all, long distance is already very tiring.
Seeing that Fang Hao was serious, Ma Hong nodded and said: "Okay, boss, I will take you to see the room."
Mahone led the way and took several people to the prepared room.
There are two stone buildings, each with three rooms.
Fang Hao said he wanted three, so he prepared six so that the heroes could rest alone.
After the visit, the heroes began to organize the team to camp.
The Lionheart Knights and the Lysis City guards set up tents in front of the stone building, while the mercenaries hired from Lysis City relied on the outer perimeter.
Unlike regular soldiers, the mercenaries' residences are still lively after setting up camp.
Drinking and playing cards, many people even took their own goods and planned to exchange some items with the residents of the city.
You can use it later when you are on your way.
……
Inside Mahon's lord's mansion.
A servant brought tea and placed it in front of Fang Hao and Demitja.
Ma Hong sat across from the two of them, actively looking for some topics to get closer to Fang Hao.
The two of them chatted wordlessly.
From the city where I live, I talked about my workplace.
From the popular movies at the time, we talked about this large-scale time travel.
There are no warnings for this collective time travel. No matter who you were or what status you held, you were all sent to this dangerous and unfamiliar world during this time travel.
But there is something special about the candidates for time travel, that is, the people selected are mainly young and middle-aged people.
The elderly and young children are not within the scope of this time travel.
Although there are people on the channel crying every day to go home and find their mother.
The two chatted for a while, and Ma Hong once again directed the topic to Fang Hao.
"Brother Fang Hao, are you taking so many people with you? Where are we going?"
He asked cautiously, feeling that he was both afraid of asking more questions and full of curiosity.
"We are going to a city in the south. Don't worry, we will leave early tomorrow morning." Fang Hao explained with a smile.
It can be seen that Ma Hong is still a little worried on his face.
If such a team is put into the city, no one will be worried.
At this time, I felt relieved when I heard Fang Hao once again emphasize that he would leave early tomorrow morning.
But on the surface, he still said politely, "No hurry, no hurry, it doesn't matter if you stay a few more days. There is nothing special about my place, and there is still some food."
The location of Mahone's territory is actually pretty good.
The surrounding mountains and forests are rich in resources, and the weapons and armor of the military units are all sold by Fang Hao.
As long as there is no external interference.
There is no problem in living a stable life.
Fang Hao naturally did not take the other party's politeness seriously, but continued to ask: "By the way, we will go south along the road. Are there any enemies or dangers on the road behind, so we can be mentally prepared."
< br>
Sitting here, he not only asked Ma Hong not to be too nervous, but also inquired about the safety of the road behind him.
Also make plans for the future.
Hearing Fang Hao's inquiry, Ma Hong said directly without much thought: "Boss, there is still a long no-man's land along the road to the south. Just be careful of the groups of wild beasts in this area, but those beasts They will only attack some scattered humans and should not dare to attack your army.”
After finishing speaking, Ma Hong paused for a moment, glanced at Fang Hao again, and said: "I have recruited many refugees here. Without exception, these refugees are villagers who have fled from the south. Their villages have been The bandits captured the village, and only a few people fled to my place.”
Hearing Ma Hong's words, Fang Hao was slightly startled.
"Bandits?"
In fact, the bandits' combat effectiveness is relatively limited.
For robbers and bandits, it was okay to plunder some small villages, but they no longer posed any threat to Fang Hao's strength at this time.
Moreover, those cottages in the past were also used by Fang Hao as places to buy treasure chests.
Even the cottages near Lysis City were wiped out by Fang Hao.
If we look at the past 1200-strong bandit camp, they would never dare to attack their own team.
Seeing that Fang Hao didn't take it to heart, Ma Hong leaned forward and showed a solemn affectionate expression, and continued: "Boss, these bandits are called life-stealers. They have cleaned up all the villages around the village. Not only did they plunder the finances, but they also Anyone can escape alive in their hands, including women and children.”
Mahone's face turned red as he spoke, and his voice gradually became louder.
It gave people the impression that this group of life-stealing robbers had a deep grudge against him.
Listening to Ma Hong's words silently, Fang Hao thought for a moment and understood the reason for Ma Hong's emotional change.
According to what he said, the Death Snatcher bandits swept the surrounding villages like a carpet.
Although it is unclear why these bandits did this, it is obvious that there is a high possibility that these bandits will come to Mahon.
The refugees can escape, let alone those bloodthirsty and greedy bandits.
Thinking about it again, it seems that the defensive measures outside Mahon City were made in advance to prevent bandits.
"How many are these bandits?" Fang Hao continued to ask.
After clearing the bandit camp, you can also get treasure chest rewards.
I may not go out of my way to clean up this life-stealing stronghold, but I have a good idea. Don't even know the enemy's strength when facing it.
"I heard from the refugees who came here that there are at least several thousand people. You also know that not many people here know how to count, and they only have a rough idea. They can't describe how many people there are specifically," Ma Hong said.
Good guy!
Fang Hao was really shocked when he heard this number.
Thousands of men and horses, this is no longer a stronghold. It is not possible for a city to mobilize so many troops at once.
The total number of people they brought from Lysis City this time was only more than 800 people.
This also includes Rebecca’s accompanying maid and some logistics.
Once the enemy attacks you, you will be in great danger.
"So, if we continue to go south, we will be ambushed by those bandits?" Fang Hao's face was also a little solemn.
Ma Hong shook his head and continued: "I'm not sure about this. During this period, caravans also passed through the bandits' area, but they were not robbed. I guess these bandits would not attack the official team. ”
It seems that these bandits also attack based on their targets.
Maybe it's the toll paid by the caravan, or maybe it won't attack the official team at all.
But no matter what, Fang Hao remembered this life-stealing bandit in his heart.
It can be said that without the ability to use the bone dragon and the undead, this bandit called the Death Snatcher is indeed a threat to this team.
I hope each other will not cause trouble for each other.
Otherwise, it would delay his journey, and he would send a bone dragon over to clean the opponent's camp no matter what.
After chatting with Ma Hong for a few words, the sky gradually darkened.
Fang Hao slowly stood up and planned to go back to his residence to rest.
When he heard that Fang Hao was leaving, Ma Hong also saw him off personally.
This bandit group has always been a worry for him.
It was like a huge stone pressing on his chest, keeping him awake all night and feeling like bandits were about to attack his territory whenever there was any movement.
But today he saw Fang Hao's team and had the plan he just had.
A large number of advanced troops, orange heroes, and high-level equipment.
If those bandits can be cleared out, we can only place our hope on Fang Hao.
I hope that Fang Hao can walk by and clear out the bandit group, so that he can be safer.
If Fang Hao failed to win, or the bandits did not attack Fang Hao's team at all.
He could only give up this territory temporarily, lead his people, and leave here first.
Looking at Fang Hao's leaving figure, Ma Hong sighed slightly and turned around and walked towards his room.
Back at his residence, Fang Hao went directly to Rebecca's room.
He told her about the life-stealing bandits.
Surprisingly, Rebecca knew about these bandits.
The Death Snatcher's Village never attacks passing official caravans and forces, so don't worry.
Hearing Rebecca's certainty, Fang Hao didn't say much.
I just keep this matter in mind, and when I go back this time, I will look for an opportunity to organize people and get rid of this life-stealing village.
Help the villagers get rid of the disaster, and you can also get a treasure chest.
There are thousands of people in the bandit's village, so this treasure chest must be of a high level.
……
Early next morning.
The team began to organize the tents, and the army gradually left Mahone's territory and continued on the road ahead.
Before leaving, Ma Hong said goodbye reluctantly, "Brother Fang Hao, please contact me often when you have time!"
Fang Hao nodded and waved goodbye to Ma Hong.
When the team gradually went away, Ma Hongcai, who was standing at the door, exhaled heavily.
Finally sent Fang Hao away.
Even though Fang Hao was polite, it still brought heavy pressure.
He didn't dare to sleep well that night.
I woke up several times, and in my dreams I was sometimes beheaded by bandits, and sometimes by the heroes under Fang Hao.
In the dream, his head seemed to be chopped off by many people as if it did not belong to him.
"Lord, will today's hunting continue?"
The militiamen's questions made Ma Hong calm down from the noise.
Ma Hong touched his neck again, "Well, let everyone go hunting. I'll go back and take a rest first. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay, my lord."
After finishing speaking, the militiamen organized themselves and began to go hunting in small groups.
……
Time passed, and it took two days for the team from Lysis City to leave.
The speed of the team was not slow, and even because the dwarf carriage could reduce the burden on the horses, the team was more than twice as fast as the previous march.
Fang Hao was sitting in the carriage, looking a little tired from the long journey.
The large map page in the Book of Lords automatically records the areas the team has passed through.
It can be seen that their location is far away from the main city.
Soon, dusk dyed the sky red.
This time, they were not so lucky. There was no nearby city that allowed them to stay overnight.
The team chose an open location near the river and began to set up camp and build a temporary territory.
Set up camp.
The soldiers began cutting down trees and gathering stone.
Fang Hao used the Book of Lords to build a wall to surround the area where they lived.
At the same time, wooden houses continued to be built to provide soldiers with a place to rest.
The wall is not as tall and strong as the city wall, but the height of three meters is still enough to resist nearby wild beasts and some bandits.
Fang Hao is building facilities, while Demitja is arranging patrol manpower.
Hunt and drive away wild beasts nearby.
Assetti, with the rest of the soldiers, led the horses to the river and began to cool them down and clean their noses.
Along the way, gradually, the heroes around Fang Hao also began to slowly take over the personal guards around Rebecca.
Start unified mobilization.
Camp, in a wooden house in the middle.
Fang Hao sat on the chair, eating the fruit on the plate next to him, and watching the people chatting in the Book of Lords area channel.
At this time, everyone's topic of conversation was on various beauties and handsome men of different races.
Whichever lord can capture the opposite sex will arouse a burst of envy.
Some people even mentioned that centaurs are the combination of humans and horses, and they were willing to verify this.
Someone also proposed a term called "reproductive isolation" to everyone in the channel.
This means that different species cannot reproduce.
For a time, the channel was filled with lively discussions.
Just when Fang Hao peeked at the screen, the door of the wooden house was pushed open.
An Jia walked in directly.
He grabbed a red fruit from the table nearby and took a bite. He then came directly to Fang Hao and straddled his legs with his slender thighs.
"How about it, you're exhausted!" Fang Hao put away the Book of Lords and hugged An Jia's waist.
"Aren't you tired? By the way, how many days do we have to get to Silver Wing City?" An Jia asked softly while eating the fruit in his hand.
"It's probably going to be soon. I heard from Rebecca that we will reach the Silver Wing City within one more city." Fang Hao replied softly, lifting up An Jia's clothes with one hand, reaching in and stroking the smooth and flat hair. lower abdomen.
"Oh!" An Jia replied softly. (End of chapter)
