Chapter 89 Boren Crisis
"How did you sleep last night?"
Polo blinked at Lake lying on the bed.
Although the castle was destroyed under the violence of the giants, most of the furniture was not damaged much, and there were still a few beds to use.
"It's okay, we're going out to take a risk together, and I often can't sleep..."
The girl stretched her waist, and a bright smile appeared in her water-blue eyes. She raised her hand and touched the hair on Poluo's body. "But now, when I think of sleeping, Poluo, you will guard me - I will feel more at ease!"
"Just sleep well!"
Poluo also grinned, and on the other side, on the other bed, the veteran opened his eyes.
Last night, several people took turns to serve the night, with Laik first, followed by Veteran and Poluo. In this case, everyone could rest better.
After all... there were no horses in the city, and there was not even a single livestock left.
"It may be a long way to go today."
Lake nodded, and the few people counted their luggage, carried it on their backs, and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Poluo's ears moved slightly, and a breeze blew from outside the town, bringing some...human breath?
"It seems that a human is coming, from the direction of the town entrance."
"Who is it?"
"It shouldn't look like a giant, it should be Boren's soldier..."
At the entrance of the town, six or seven soldiers wearing light armor walked from the grass on one side. Behind them were war horses, and the armor on the men and horses were painted in a gray-yellow that was not reflective.
This makes their figures appear much more hidden in places where the light is not obvious.
The person in the lead, holding a telescope-like thing in his hand, visited the city carefully, then let it go, breathing a sigh of relief.
But a trace of anger flashed in his eyes!
"What town is this?"
"The fourth one, those bastards are becoming more and more... unscrupulous. It seems that no one has survived our Seventh Giant Blocking Team."
"Record the footprints of these giants."
The officer in charge sighed and then said, "Tag this place as a loss, and then we can go into the city to rest for a while, and by the way... to find out if there are any survivors."
Although he said so, no one of the soldiers really thought about what survivors would be in this dead town.
The giant's nose is very smart, plus that...
At least, what the giant did was better than before when it came to "searching survivors and killing them"!
Of course, no matter what the situation is, someone may survive.
Even if it is the end of the world, there will be some survivors...
And just when a few Boren soldiers thought they wanted to inspect the town again—
Before they could walk a few steps, they saw a man walking over by the roadside.
"Are you...Bo Ren soldiers?"
Veteran Yinwei walked to the same position as several Boren soldiers and asked.
"We are the Second Legion of the Giant Wing, are you a survivor of the town?"
Several soldiers looked at each other, and a happier look appeared in their eyes, but as the veteran answered, they seemed to be indifferent.
"No, I just came here last night."
"Traveler? This is rare, and your accent - where did you come from?"
"On the other side of the Sinuo Kingdom."
The veteran said bluntly that the only country adjacent to the Boren Kingdom is the Sinuo Kingdom.
"Sinuo people? What do you do?"
The Boren soldier in the lead looked at the long sword on the veteran Yinwei's waist, then looked at the short gray beard on his chin, and asked.
"A hunter, come to Boren's side..."
"Hunter, no wonder you should be offering a reward for that?"
When the soldiers of Naboren heard this, they immediately looked clear, and a little slight disdain flashed in their eyes, but they quickly hid it again.
He pointed in one direction and said to veteran Yinwei:
"In that direction, Em City, if you want to reach our capital, you have to pass there. Recently, there are many bounty hunters from foreign countries who want to go there-"
The soldier Boren became a little colder. He gestured for a moment. Another soldier behind him took out a map, outlined a route on it, and stepped forward and handed it to the veteran.
"We marked a relatively safe route and we would go from here very quickly.
But I want me to say, people of your age, please look back now and go back to your Sinuo! Giant...is not that easy to deal with! ”
Speaking of this, the soldier didn't say anything to the veteran anymore, and just took the others to walk deep into the town...
The veteran did not ask questions either. He took the map, thanked him, and walked out of the city.
Outside the city, Polorek and Dens were already waiting by the roadside.
"How to say it?"
"Those Boren people speak very kindly."
Veteran Yinwei shrugged, and handed the map in his hand to Lake, saying, "Also, this map is good, we can save a lot of time."
Poluo and Lek looked at the map and their eyes lit up. This map of the Boren people is indeed much more complete and detailed than what they bought in the Kingdom of Sinno. There is indeed a city that is next to the Boren kingdom—
Em City.
There are more pedestrians on the road.
This Em City is close to the capital of Boren, and the guards are very strong. Along the way, Poluo saw many teams wearing light armor walking over.
"These people... don't seem to look like caravans."
In the distance, the tall walls of Em City have already appeared.
Under the city and on the road, in addition to some of the heavily defended caravans, there were many people dressed in miscellaneous clothes like Lake and others.
They all carry all kinds of patients.
What surprised Poluo the most was that there were a few people wearing a mysterious robe, which looked... more like a mage.
"Can you really be... a person who knows magic?"
Lake next to him also showed some interest.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Not necessarily, but I did smell some strange smell from several people."
Poluo also looked at the people...who were also walking towards Em City.
A large part of them do have real materials, and at least the thick cocoons at hand represent that they are at least at the level of mercenaries.
There are not many capable people in this world.
But...Poruo has not yet sensed that there is a level of oppression like the "Witch Hunter" or a lower-level "Prince Boren".
"What are they doing?"
"Maybe it's about... bounty, these should be bounty hunters."
Veteran Yinwei spoke, his gray eyebrows raised, and his gaze swept across a young man in front of him, carrying an air gun, holding his head and chest up.
From his eyes, there seemed to be some inexplicable flames.
confidence? Or...ambition?
"Borrow?"
"Yes, bounty."
The veteran sighed, "I also remembered some things. The Boren Kingdom has always paid a lot of rewards to those who killed giants.
But even those who can get these rewards can't get one in ten years! ”
The veteran recalled a little and added, "I remember that it seems that in recent months, they have increased their rewards... but I didn't pay much attention to it, it should be a lot, right?
You know, I have been thinking about those devilish princes in recent months. ”
The veteran stared at the distance again, the hunter who looked like a fledgling cottage, had joined the team entering the city and disappeared in the crowd.
"I don't know what strength they have, but I think young people who want to make achievements like that-"
Veteran Yinwei pointed to a young man with his chest and a light of ambition in his eyes.
"There are also speculators like that—"
He pointed at another mercenary, a little obese, holding a bottle of wine in his hand and carrying a big sword on his back.
"Nevertheless, they are... people who can solve a lot of giants.
I think their awareness and ability are not even as good as those Boren soldiers I saw before! ”
"Why?"
Lake was stunned for a moment, and Poluo also looked at the veteran curiously.
"Young people like that have not experienced too much life and death. In their eyes, they only have the fantasy of fighting. They only think that they can overcome all difficulties through hard work."
Veteran Invi looked at Lec and said, "Little girl, they are even--a far worse than you!"
They can go to suppress bandits and kill lions and tigers, but I think it is difficult for them to hold the sword in their hands when they encounter enemies like giants!
Only when they survive the crises of life and death and still have the courage they are now can they truly have that little trace of...
The possibility of success! ”
"Where is that mercenary? He has scars on his body and looks very experienced."
Lake was stunned for a moment, and pointed to the man who was a little fat but carrying a heavy sword.
"That's just a bounty hunter, but not a qualified giant hunter."
Veteran Yinwei shook his head, "Although they have gone through repeated battles, they are also trapped by the enjoyment given by these battles.
He is obese and has given up exercising!
Just a desperate person walking on the tip of a knife, the flashy big sword can cause psychological pressure on humans, but for the giant - he is not qualified! ”
After hearing these words, Poluo also had some insights.
He turned his gaze again to the veteran Yinwei. Although the veteran Yinwei's hair and beard looked gray, his figure was still very symmetrical.
The exposed skin is enough to show the veteran's muscles and still strong muscles.
Poluo moved his eyes to those who walked past the road.
In an instant, those people holding weapons were reduced to another level in his eyes.
But...no matter what.
The soldiers from all directions were walking towards the Boren City in front of them.
There... has become the center of the whirlpool where the storm is about to rise!
