Chapter 377 Talas City
Paladin Zhang Hao is hiding in a city of indigenous humans. {.}
This city once belonged to a principality. Because it is located in a remote desert, it was fortunate to escape the great purge of the magic goddess army and become one of the few survivor cities in this area.
Now, this small city called the City of Taras is filled with nearly 300,000 people, including many powerful people with strength above the liquefaction level.
Zhang Hao hid here, on the one hand, to hide his traces with the help of the humans here, and on the other hand, to meet the allies of the Order God Cult who are also hiding here.
Claya has always been a major partner in the export of Order God's Commodities. In addition, Lin Tian was the first to take action. In the eyes of elite candidates such as Zhang Hao, the beautiful and elegant Earl of Claya invisibly had Lin Tian's relationship.
Therefore, after Zhang Hao arrived in Taras City and placed a sentry tower in the basement as a designated marker, he secretly approached the location of Claya.
Claya, Earl of Perlan, was able to bring her confidants to the city and bought nearly a hundred houses as a stronghold based on the news that the Church of Order had already been told in advance.
Because of the sufficient preparation and sufficient supplies, and the girl Claya is not a simple character, a series of ways to connect Claya not only relied on this storm to attract hundreds of good people to serve his chamber of commerce, but also established a relationship with the two local wealthy families in the city and was recognized by the city lord.
However, after all, the business time is too short, and under the seemingly calm surface, there is a turbulent tide.
When Zhang Hao came over, he noticed that there were strong men in secret conversations in the nearby alley. He put on his invisible cloak and lurked quietly over, and heard the other party's whispers.
"Lao Wan, don't fool your brothers. This Sihai Chamber of Commerce is a force that the city lord nodded and recognized. Do you really dare to take action?"
In the alleyway, a bald man wearing a gray cloak, describing his haggard head, said hesitantly.
"Hmph, don't worry, our boss has agreed that no one in Taras will help the count in this battle. Humphph, her motherland will probably have perished long ago, and that noble title is not as valuable as a cart of bread!"
"Your Shadow Alliance only needs to take the lead and give us a reason, and the rest is we're here." Standing in front of the man with gray cloak was a man with a hooked nose and blue hair. The man looked quite sinister, and his slender palms were faintly white. "In this operation, not only our Perth family, but also the William family, the Luo Kai family and the Sea Sand Mercenary Group will take action!"
"And if the Four Seas Chambers have saints to support the formation, we will also have saints from the Batu family taking action to restrain them." The hook-nosed man said proudly, as if he was planning to use this to strengthen the confidence of the man in the gray cloak.
"Batu family, isn't that a big local family?" The man with gray cloak was surprised: "Are they... not going to have a good relationship with the Earl of Clayya?"
"Do you have good food? No matter how good you are, you can have good food?" The hook-nosed man said disdainfully: "Tell you the truth, the upper class of Taras City plans to establish himself as a country."
"Self-reliance...for the country!"
"Yes! So there is a lot of food and luxury goods to attract the strong men from human camps everywhere, but you have seen it. Not to mention that the foreign Sihai Chamber of Commerce has seized a large area of residential areas, but the warehouses in the Chamber of Commerce are also reported to have a large amount of food and various supplies!"
"So that's it." When the man in gray robe and cloak heard that Taras City was planning to establish a country, he made up his mind and prepared to take his brothers to do this.
When Zhang Hao heard this, he rolled his eyes wildly. Didn’t these natives have a broader horizon? At this time, he actually planned to establish a country. Even if he did not attract the attention of the Magic Goddess Legion, such a target would attract the attention of other alien forces.
"Oh, we can't blame them. Who makes these guys know the allusion of building high walls and becoming kings?"
Zhang Hao left quietly, then put on makeup and became a civilian, and followed the man with cloak.
Just as Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes, he suddenly felt Lin Tian’s connection.
"Your Highness?"
"Well... I saw your current situation." Lin Tian said: "You are a good place. Although it is located in the desert, it also avoids the main army and orcs of the spokesperson of God."
"Your Highness is planning to open the time and space gate here?" Zhang Hao asked excitedly.
"Well." Lin Tian nodded and said, "How confident are you to control the situation in this city before the first batch of God-Selected Ones arrive?"
"I don't want too many people to die. These natives are qualified laborers." Lin Tian asked.
Zhang Hao said: "If the other party does not have a legend, I don't think it's a big problem."
"I have platinum-level equipment, and with the cooperation of Earl Clayya, it is still possible to suppress these local forces. When the time and space gate are successfully opened, your highness will appear. Haha, this city will be able to capture it immediately."
"And, Your Highness, there is a good show now."
Zhang Hao said, looking at the gate of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce's main house.
There, an old couple who came from somewhere ran over under the support of a group of big men and began to cry and make a fuss.
"Roman, the butler of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, get out quickly!"
"Yes, Roman, you beast, get out quickly!"
"You actually raped and killed my daughter of a good citizen in Taras City in broad daylight. Do you really think that you can escape the national law with the protection of the Chamber of Commerce?"
"That's right, you group of commerce lackeys, get out of the way and hand over that beast!"
A large group of people shouted slogans fiercely at the door, and several passionate young men rushed to the front, which put a lot of pressure on the guards of the gatekeepers.
Although these guards were loyal to the Chamber of Commerce, they also knew that they were all outsiders and their family and country had fallen, and this might be their only stronghold. Not only was the impacted people squeezed away by these people, they were immediately plotted against by the gray cloaked men hidden in the crowd, and they fainted one by one.
It’s not that these cloaked men did not kill people, but that these guys were doing population transactions. The guards were average, but they were strong. After they were dragged back, they could still make money as slaves.
"What's going on!"
Seeing the crowds hitting the gate, the wooden mahogany gate opened first. The butler dressed in knight armor, Roman, strode with more than a dozen iron-armored swordsmen.
"Who said I was raped and killed a girl!" The armored knight Roman said loudly, and for a moment, the crowd stopped and had to retreat as the iron armored swordsmen stepped in unison.
"You, you wicked man, even if you burned to ashes, I will recognize you!"
"Yes, can you, a big villain, still want to show off? Do you still want to kill people in the street?"
Several big men motivated, and then a handsome young swordsman jumped up from the crowd and shouted: "How can a villain like you be tolerated in Taras City!"
"the wicked?"
The great butler Roman was hired by Earl Clayya from the imperial capital with a high salary. He originally thought that he was useless to go to an Earl's house in the Kingdom, but later he was quite fortunate that if the master he followed had foresight, he would have been killed by monsters who didn't know where he came from.
Therefore, the butler Roman realized that something was wrong almost immediately. It was someone targeting him, no, it was wrong!
This is clearly because there are forces who are using him as a springboard to deal with the entire chamber of commerce!
But if you understand, what can you do?
The butler Roman was about to ask a man to report the news when he saw a white light thorn.
"A high-level liquefaction expert!"
Seeing the young sword light, the butler Roman changed his face and had to raise his scimitar to resist.
"Bang!"
After a heavy hammer hit the ground, the butler Roman fell into the yard in the door with a pale face, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The young swordsman was not happy either. The attack he just now was obviously sure, not only did he not kill the opponent, but the sharp sword in his hand was cut off by the opponent's inconspicuous scimitar.
"Forge a formation and protect the butler!"
The iron-armored swordsmen are well-trained and are worthy of Kreya's high salary on weekdays. These swordsmen are equipped with bronze-level equipment and silver-level weapons. After they surrounded the butler Roman, they helped Roman up and retreated inward.
In the crowd, a group of men in gray robe took the lead and jumped into the house one after another. Then a group of big men aroused the morale of the crowd, so a large number of onlookers rushed in with the big men.
Zhang Hao could see clearly that many ordinary people were not really angry, but showed a sense of greed. He was probably planning to take this opportunity to seize something and carry forward their fine tradition of taking advantage of the situation since ancient times.
"Earl, it's not good!"
Claya was talking to more than a dozen managers about future development plans in the hall. When she heard the servants' voices, her beautiful face wrinkled slightly, and then she quickly called someone to ask about the situation.
"Are you incited?" Claya whispered, then looked at the second housekeeper beside her: "Does the new group of people who have joined us have any abnormal movements?"
The second butler whispered: "We are all in the East District, and I don't know yet."
At this moment, the second butler's ears moved slightly, his face suddenly changed a few times, and he whispered: "Just just reported that a riot occurred in the East District. A group of new guards suddenly burst out, killing the instructor, and inciting others to set fire and rob."
"Sure enough, it was planned." Claya whispered: "Is this Taras City really not enough to accommodate our Chamber of Commerce?"
"We looked up to the Lord of Taras." Several managers shook their heads and smiled bitterly: "They can't even see the future potential of our chamber of commerce, and they only care about the interests in front of them. Alas, Count, what should we do now?"
"Come to get the good guys and go out first." The second manager said with a bitter face: "What a pity, the supplies from Taras City can't be brought back."
"Ahem."
Just as Claya and others sighed softly and had to accept the loss, a light cough woke them up and they all looked at the source of the sound.
At the gate, Zhang Hao lifted his cloak and showed his figure, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Zhang Hao, the God-selected God of Order, has seen the beautiful Earl of Clayya."
"Is it you?" Kreya couldn't help but feel happy when she saw Zhang Hao: "You are here, then...he is he here?"
"Your Highness will arrive soon." Zhang Hao said seriously: "But now, we need to deal with those uninteresting enemies."
Zhang Hao said: "Count Clayya, I need your trust. Your Highness wants the city of Taras."
"No problem!" Claya nodded without hesitation, and she said, "I will let them all follow your instructions."
The managers were slightly stunned, but no one questioned. They had all come into contact with the Order God Cult and had long been impressed by the items of the Order God Cult. Coupled with the embarrassing status of the Chamber of Commerce, they had long longed for a big tree to enjoy the cool air in their hearts.
