Scales of Eternal Order

“Who knows where those monsters came from?”

“Maybe it is the emperor’s magic. Dig a hole, bury some soil, count One, two, three, four, five, monsters will be born out of the soil.”

The people who bought drunk in the North Wind Tavern laughed and laughed, but there are only a few people who can maintain this optimism. The people gathered here are mostly the long-awaited merchant ship owners and seafarers. They all look forward to the thawing of the frozen sea. As long as the sea melts a little way, they will raise their sails and oars and fly away.

Two weeks have passed since the day the emperor woke up. The first tip that Soft Maple City received was provided by a group of Helonis Paladin who retreated from the mountain. When the mayor ordered the city gate to be closed, the emperor had already broken out with the stench. In the beginning, although people were alarmed and many wealthy people wanted to escape with their belongings, what actions did God King not at all take?

A week ago, all kinds of monsters have appeared on that mountain, continuously attacking the city of Soft Maple. Not only that, but I don’t know what kind of magic arts the emperor used, and within a few hourglass hours, all the sea within the protruding cape was frozen. You know, even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, sea water will not freeze so easily.

As a result, the people trapped in the city are worried. The poor worry about where to find winter clothes and firewood; the rich worry about whether they can keep their accumulated wealth. And everyone is worried at the same time whether they can save their lives this time. Even the guards who had the responsibility of guarding the city have made trouble several times. Thanks to the mercenaries hired by the mayor and the Paladin troops who had withdrawn from the mountain, they stationed in the guards’ barracks and suppressed them. The whistle caused military disaster.

The only good news for now is that for tavern bosses like Bobby Old, they no longer have to listen to the complaints of “why beer is sour” and “why spirits are not mellow”. Up. It’s freezing cold, it’s nice to have a sip of wine. But those who can still come to the pub are not only the owners with spare money, but also don’t care what they drink.

“You have to tell me the truth, can you let my family go out of town tonight, the price is easy to negotiate.”

The talker, dressed like ordinary wine The guest is no different. It’s just that he looks a bit rich, unlike a knives or businessman who travels frequently. Moreover, although his hands have been playing with a croissant cup, he did not drink the mead that looked like “wow” in it.

“Is there a rock candy jellyfish?” With a smile, Weather, who was sitting across from him, asked with a smile, “I remember how you are, and eating something will help you think about the problem.” After that, he Just ask old Bobby if the North Wind Tavern offers this dish. The result was obvious. He just got a bowl of thick soup made from several kinds of vegetables and meat, and the look of Boss looks like an idiot.

“Wither, you brat, listen,” the mayor who ran out to meet with a thief after disguising, lowered his voice and threatened: “Although the soft maple city can’t be kept, but now I can pay Without stepping down, I still have more than one army to call. You will never hope that I will send them to invite you back. At that time, we will not be so good to talk.”

Long threat. Wither even the soup spoon was useless, he held the bowl directly, and even drank and ate a bowl of thick soup. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then with the look that old Bobby looked towards him just now, he looked towards the mayor himself, “Are you a fool? There must be some on the way out of the city, and we also sent some of them a few days ago. People go out of the city. But what is the result? My brother in the steel fork camp told me that among the monsters that they saw attacking the soft maple city, some of the monsters were wearing the clothes of those who went out of the city.”

Fork Camp is the name of the guards of Soft Maple City. The reason why the mayor used to hire mercenaries out of his own pocket is because the guards of Soft Maple City have been mixed with various bulls, ghosts and snakes. The successive mayors are very worried about their loyalty. Therefore, when Wither said that he had obtained the information from the Steel Fork Camp, the mayor was not surprised at all.

“I’m not the same as those rich guys,” the mayor lowered his voice, leaned forward, approached Wither and said, “I still have a sum of money to pay to the mercenaries, if… If you want, you can also walk with us to compete for the thieves’ seat in other cities. To be honest, let’s tell you the truth, there is not much food in the soft maple city. Moreover, I used to talk to neighboring cities and gnomes. Flying Pigeon asked for help, and the response we got was to let us hold on for at least ten more days.”

After hearing these words, Wither’s only one eye could not help but squinted. This is because he is thinking seriously. Habit of time. Originally, he thought the fat mayor was a joke, so he was ready to abandon the city and flee as soon as the fight started. But after hearing him talk about the details of Soft Maple City, Wither was a little bit surprised.

Hold on for ten days. Judging from the current siege intensity of the monsters, it may be possible to do it. However, at least the people in the war must be able to report their stomachs. Moreover, even if he tightened his belly, he spared his life to guard Soft Maple City for ten days. What if nearby cities or gnomes don’t send troops over? Or in other words, the army they sent is not enough to lift the monster’s siege?

After all, now the emperor’s base camp is next to the soft maple city. This city bears the brunt of the battle and is destined to be the most tragic place. In the early years of traveling north and south, Wither had seen the lands that were most severely damaged in the War of the Ancients-the barren was even good. Thousands of years have passed, and there are still chaotic magical powers in some places. The ordinary person only needs to step on Into doomed ten deaths without life.

“Listen, boy,” the mayor continued to persuade him: “I know you have a sum of money in your hand. It is the salary that Mr. Ques, who possesses great magical power, paid you in advance. But wait until this city There is no grain in it. Where can you spend the money? Also, have you seen that Mr. Ques in the past few days? How do you know if he has slipped away quietly?”

This remark of the mayor is quite convincing. In fact, he made up his mind to leave Soft Maple City, partly because he hadn’t seen Ques recently. The previous “Bombardment of the Mansion” and “Paper Tower Guard Battle” gave him a glimpse of the mighty strength of Ques. If the people with so many advanced weapons and capable men also escaped, it must be because they have no confidence in defeating the emperor here. He is an ordinary mayor, and there is no need to stay here.

So, he will secretly come out tonight with the secret meeting with Wither, wanting to find a way to survive from the thieves.
