No matter which civilization or plane, whether it is modern or ancient, there is one characteristic that is inevitable. Most of the social wealth will always be dominated by a small group of people! And true fairness has never existed in society at all, in any society.
The situation in Baishan City seems very tense. In fact, most conflicts in human society are caused by uneven distribution of interests. With the help of the great magician Mike, the Glory Mercenary Group has seized the management rights of Baishan City and re-established own status, and firmly controls the three large granaries in Baishan City.
The world is in chaos, and undead creatures are raging everywhere. This is both a crisis and a rare opportunity. Many people can see this. However, some of them are too unlucky and die early. Some people have limited capital and are unable to show off. Fists and kicks. Of course Anthony can see the current situation clearly, but unfortunately Baishan City is completely different from Wind and Rain Castle. Baishan City originally had a population of 160,000 to 70,000. When the city was surrounded by undead creatures, the total number of people who fled into the city plus the aborigines was already It has exceeded 300,000 yuan. If you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, it is a huge burden. Moreover, the trade routes have been cut off and there is no way to supplement it.
As early as twenty days ago, Anthony had announced that he would run out of food. In fact, there was still a lot of food and grass, but Anthony had to ensure that the mercenaries of the Glory Mercenary Group and Mike's soldiers and horses were well fed and clothed warmly. As for the others, , I can only apologize.
But the mercenaries of the other mercenary groups were not fools. Seeing the mercenaries of the Glory Mercenary Group jumping around, they already understood that Anthony must be up to something. Their grievances accumulated, and finally several large-scale conflicts broke out. However, under the joint suppression of Anthony and Mike, the rebellious mercenaries were eliminated, and the Glory mercenaries still controlled the entire city.
It is hard to say whether it is right or wrong to use bloody means to exchange for stability, but one consequence is inevitable. Anthony's reputation was greatly affected, so after learning that the undead creatures had retreated, the mercenaries immediately dispersed. Except for those who moved closer to the Glory Mercenary Group, no one was willing to stay in Baishan City. Anthony could only do nothing. He could suppress the riots and stabilize order, but he could not force the mercenaries to stay.
At night, An Fei and Susanna had quietly sneaked into the city from the northwest corner of Baishan City. Originally, An Fei wanted to ride a carriage into the city with Susanna, because Susanna's appearance was likely to attract others' attention. However, after talking with Erlanga and others, he realized that a carriage was more likely to attract other people's attention, and might even attract others' attention. There will be attacks, and the city is full of hungry people with blue eyes. They don't have much sense anymore.
"An Fei, what's wrong with you?" Susanna noticed something was wrong with An Fei. asked in a low voice.
"Nothing." An Fei shook his head, with a thoughtful look on his face. As his status continues to improve, some of the concepts he formed before are quietly changing. Wind and Rain Castle is undoubtedly lawful, so the people there live relatively peacefully, while Baishan City has become a representative of chaos.
He just released his mental power and used his senses to observe the entire city. Unexpectedly, he saw many things that he didn't want to see. In the alley 200 meters ahead, two mercenaries were waving their swords and chasing down a mouse excitedly. It seemed that their strength was very poor. They couldn't even hit the mouse. After a long while, the mercenary in front finally stabbed the mouse. But just as he excitedly picked up the mouse, a sharp sword blade came from his chest. It came out. The current Baishan City is no longer Baishan City. The environment here is more cruel than the Death Forest. What's more, one mouse is not enough land for two people.
Just in time. A patrol of the Glory Mercenary Group came along the alley. When the two mercenaries in front saw this scene, they drew their weapons and were about to rush forward, but they were stopped by the little leader behind them. The little leader waved his hand impatiently. Signaling the patrol to continue moving forward. As long as they don't form gangs and cause bloody conflicts, or try to challenge the authority of the Glory Mercenary Group. He just turned a blind eye. He was too lazy to care about such trivial matters and couldn't handle them.
When the mercenary who killed his companion saw a patrol passing by, he was frightened. He grabbed the dead rat and rubbed it back a few steps. Then he turned around and fled deep into the alley. The mercenaries on the patrol became confused. He became blind and swaggered past the corpse, and then turned into another alley. When everything became quiet, a thin little wild dog came out of nowhere and approached the corpse. After sniffing, he suddenly opened his sharp canine teeth and bit into the corpse.
In fact, almost all the chickens and dogs in Baishan City have been killed. This little wild dog should be the luckiest one, but its luck came to an abrupt end today. Amidst the sharp whistling sound, a black arrow struck out. The shot came and hit the little wild dog in the neck. The little wild dog fell to the ground before it even had time to scream. Then several servants
The soldiers rushed over from the shadows. The leader grabbed the little wild dog by its hind legs, picked him up and shook him, grinning widely and letting out a proud laugh. The few mercenaries at the back stared blankly at the corpses on the ground. They came over for a long time before looking away. They were not too hungry now, and they had shot a wild dog to death, so they still had enough sense. If If they were hungry for a few more days, they didn't know whether they would treat the corpses on the ground as delicacies, and this thought made them feel frightened, scared and disgusted.
After the patrol turned into another alley, they were greeted by a dozen girls in their twenties. In this difficult and cruel environment, men would choose to use violence to protect themselves, while women would only Now that you can use your own body in exchange, no one needs to laugh at anyone. After all, survival is the most important thing. In many cases, shame is not so difficult to overcome. The little leader suddenly saw a pretty and handsome face, and he was so lustful that he called her to him with his fingers, and put his hand into the girl's clothes in front of everyone. But he didn't feel the softness he imagined. Instead, he felt a few hard ribs. After being hungry for so long, the softness belonging to women had long been absorbed by the body as energy. The little leader showed a look of disgust, and then roughly pushed the girl out. The girl was a little unwilling and came back with a smile. The little leader became furious, grabbed the girl's hair, kicked the girl several times in the chest and abdomen, and finally kicked the girl to the ground.
"Let's go." An Fei said in a deep voice. He originally wanted to avoid other people's attention as much as possible, but now it seems that it is difficult to do so. In his perception, the streets and alleys are full of moving figures, sin and misery are constantly being performed, and more people They have all become indifferent spectators. They cannot even see their own hope, and of course they have no time to save others.
However, the patrol team of the Glory Mercenary Group still had to be avoided to avoid unnecessary trouble. An Fei and Susanna walked fast and slowly in the alley. Fortunately, it was cloudy today, and the moonlight and starlight were covered by the clouds. Suzanne didn't attract anyone's attention. Finally, Anfei stopped in front of a shop.
Stretching out his fingers, Anfei no longer needed any tools. On the other side of the door, the wind element had condensed. Pulling the door latch outward, a crack was exposed in the door of the shop. Then Anfei opened the door and walked away. Got in.
In the store, a man dressed as a waiter jumped up and stared at An Fei with alert eyes: "You two are..."
"I'm a bard who came from Miracle Island." An Fei closed the shop door as he spoke.
"Miracle Island, it's the birthplace of flying dragons. You must have seen a golden dragon, right?" the guy said with a smile.
"I didn't see the golden dragon, but I saw the three-legged green dragon."
"It's nothing. I've also seen a five-legged green dragon." The guy breathed a sigh of relief.
An Fei took out something from the space ring and threw it over: "Is there any way you can find other people?"
"Now..." The guy hesitated for a moment, but after seeing the letter in his hand, his expression immediately changed: "It turns out you are Master An Fei! Let's do this. Just wait for a while, and I will go find someone else right away."
"That's fine. Is there anyone in the basement behind?"
"No."
"You go and open the basement first, we will wait for you there."
"Yes, sir." The guy opened the back door, bowed and said, "Please go this way."
An Fei and Susanna slowly followed the guy and passed through a corridor. In front of it was a stable. In fact, An Fei had been here once before, but there were a few horses in the stable last time, but now there is nothing. , with only a pile of weeds hiding the entrance to the basement.
"Don't worry about the entrance, go find someone." An Fei said softly. There was a flaw in his sensing ability. If he was in a closed environment, he would not be able to sense the movement outside. Similarly, he was in a closed environment. Changes in the closed environment cannot be sensed from the outside. Only in a space where natural breath can flow freely can he see everything around him clearly. Although the people in front of him were all former members of Black Eleven, this was an enemy-controlled area after all, and he did not dare to take it lightly.
"Yes." The guy responded and hurried away.
"An Fei, don't you have to follow him?" Susanna asked softly.
"No need." An Fei shook his head, and then jumped out of the entrance.
"Then what...are we going to do?"
"Let's play it by ear." An Fei said with a smile: "These people have been trapped in the city. They know very well what kind of changes Baishan City has experienced. Maybe, they can give me an answer."
