Chapter 113 Mercenaries who came to Sal City

Spring goes to the summer solstice, and the northern part of the mainland has ushered in the best season.

Avery and his companions entered the western mountains of Glay and began a new adventure in the wild forest.

Avery is a young fox warrior with six-level strength. He is also a registered free mercenary in Glay City.

As a collateral member of the Grand Forks family, he did not get much light from this upper family. For the trial qualification and ranking of the Beast Soul Warrior at the end of summer, he must save enough money.

Only by becoming a beast warrior can Ellie be qualified to enter the mainstream of the Grand Forks family, and the fate of him and his family will be changed.

Therefore, he is willing to complete a rather dangerous task for the rich reward of a hundred gold coins.

The mountain forest in the western mountainous area of Gree is one of the most dangerous areas in the whole southwest province. From time to time, there are ferocious demons in it. The dense jungle hides many monsters, and most of the mercenaries dare not step into it easily.

However, Avery has been here several times and is familiar with the environment inside. He even has a relationship with two small tribes in the mountains, so he is very sure of difficult tasks for others.

What's more, he did not risk alone. The six companions around him were all experienced free mercenaries, which greatly enhanced the safety surname of this adventure.

Before entering the mountains, Avery learned a piece of news from the mercenary union that the western mountainous area of Gree, which is regarded as a barbarian land, now has a new name - Salling.

A bear warrior was awarded the title of baron and took his tribe into the mountains to open up wasteland. There was no news back for more than two months.

Avery and his companions did not care much about this news. The law of the kingdom stipulates that mercenaries officially registered in trade unions have the right to freely pass in various territories.

Of course, they also need to abide by the rules of the territory, and they need the permission of the lord to hunt or collect.

It's just that Ellie doesn't think she can find the baron lord in the mountains. He and his small tribe from the countryside may have been swallowed up by the big forest, and the Salling is just the name left on the map.

In the summer, the number of animals and beasts in the mountain forest has increased a lot, and occasionally there will be low-level monsters. The Avery team carefully avoided the most dangerous area. After two days of difficult trekking, they finally entered the hinter belt of the western mountainous area.

"We will arrive after crossing this mountain. There is a beautiful small lake there. If we are lucky enough, we should be able to find the Ug tribe by the lake!" Ellie pointed to the towering mountains in front of him and said, "It's very cheap to buy materials from those hippos."

Four of his teammates have not been to this forest. The reason why Avery is willing to reveal this little secret to them is that he intends to establish a real mercenary team, so even if he fails to be promoted to the Beast Soul Warrior in the future, he has a way out.

Although the Bemeng fox is not the strongest ethnic group, it is definitely the most shrewd.

With hope and joy, Avery's team climbed up the mountain, and the huge basin in front of them immediately appeared in front of everyone.

"Captain, look, why is there a city over there?" A team member suddenly screamed.

Avery immediately looked in the direction he pointed, and couldn't help but be stunned!

Half a year ago, he came here and made a deal with the Ug tribe. At that time, except for the grassland, it was a forest around the lake, and there was no trace of development and utilization.

But now that only half a year has passed, the situation around the small lake has changed dramatically.

The forest in the north is almost cut down. A city built on the mountain rises from the ground. The high wall surrounds hundreds of houses, and behind the wall stands arrow towers for defense and warning.

Although it is still very crude and cannot be compared with a city like Glay City, it has the rudiment of a small city. On the east side of the mountain city is a large area of reclaimed fields, and you can faintly see farmers working in the fields.

Opa is on top! What's going on?!

After the shock, Ellie soon realized that this must be the city of territory built here by the lord of Sal led by the tribe, and it was not as unexpected as the legends from the outside world!

A strong desire suddenly surged up in the fox warrior's heart. He really wanted to visit the baron named Leon to see how the bear lord created this miracle.

"Go! Let's go and have a look!"

Avery's team crossed the mountains through the woods, and they quickly reached the front of the mountain city.

The feeling of walking to the front is completely different from looking down from the mountain. The towering walls, dozens of feet high and made of large pieces of blue stones, amazed them from the bottom of their hearts.

Below the wall is a moat more than ten feet wide. The living water flows out from the cave on one side and finally leads to the canal used to water the wheat fields on the east side.

Avery and his companions noticed that in addition to the orc women and the elderly, there were a lot of green gobs working in the field.

Avery was not very surprised by this. He knew that there were 2,000 gophin slaves under the lord.

It is said that the Colinworth collar and the Rock Fortress once intended to infect these goblin slaves, but in the end they were disgraced. A Blood Wolf commander was demoted, and the Colinworth family even expelled a family knight for this.

Of course, no one dared to talk about this news publicly in Grey City, including this Saler. Count Astin was quite disgusted to hear that the lord was from the temple.

With a little curiosity and caution, the mercenaries stepped on the suspension bridge on the moat.

"Who are you? Where did it come from?"

Two heavily armed bear soldiers blocked their way.

Avery has a lot of experience in dealing with such guards. He immediately stepped forward and took out his mercenary badge: "Dear soldiers, we are free mercenaries from Glay City. We are here to complete the tasks of the union."

The mercenary union in the Kingdom of Bemon is a formal official organization with power all over the kingdom. If there is no proper reason, no lord will deliberately embarrass the mercenaries.

"Of course, we will pay taxes to the lord and guarantee that we will not cause trouble to your territory."

A bear warrior scratched his head and waved his furry hand: "Go in, as long as you don't make trouble, it doesn't matter. Our city of Sal welcomes all guests from far away!"

It's so easy! Ellie is a little surprised and despised. As a completely newly established city, the defense here is too lax, isn't it?

Normally speaking, it is routine for a territory to register the necessary identity of strange mercenaries. Some strict territories even require mercenaries to seal up weapons when entering the city. Only well-defended city-defended city countries like Gley and Tomund will allow free passage.

Entering the city, Ellie found that although the city of Sal was not very large, the streets were very neat and clean, the bluestone paved roads were very smooth, and there were ditches for drainage on the roadside.

On both sides of the street are grain shops, butcher shops, blacksmith shops, pubs, clothing stores and other shops. If the number is small, the business is not very good.

But pedestrians on the street and customers in the store know each other. Bears, leopards, cows, pigs, rabbits... and even hippos. They greet each other from time to time, and the atmosphere is extremely harmonious.

There are no vagrants and beggar thieves here, but a team of heavily armed soldiers are on patrol.

These strong and dignabling soldiers let Ellie understand why the gate guards let themselves and others into the city indifferently.

The large and small buildings in the city are basically stone and wooden structures, which have obviously just been built, but there are thick trees next to many building houses. The dense crowns cover Yan Yan, bringing cool shade to the small city.

The children are playing under the trees. A gurgling stream flows along the ditch in the direction of the city wall, and then to the wide central square of the small city.

Along the way, Ellie suddenly found that she had fallen in love with this city. It was located in the depths of the mountains, quiet and peaceful without being disturbed by the outside world.

The central square of the small town is not fully built. Several famous craftsmen are commanding the green grounders to build wooden frames, and large and small stones are piled up on the ground.

Avery understands that these people should set up a stone statue of the beast god here - which is indispensable for all Bimon cities.

When they arrived here, there was only exclamation in the hearts of the mercenaries. No one expected that there was such a city in the deep mountains!

Chao! Cen!

Suddenly, a low roar came from the street not far away, as if thousands of people launched a collective charge.

What happened? Out of instinct, the mercenaries immediately raised their vigilance, and several people put their hands on their weapons.

"Don't be impulsive, it should be okay..." Ellie shook his head to stop his companions.

He saw that the craftsmen and the green grounders were doing their own things without any reaction. Obviously, they had long been used to such a voice.

Soon, the mercenaries saw the source of the sound.

Hundreds of burly ** were running over from the side of the street. They ** showed dark skin on their upper bodies, with clear muscles and thick logs on their shoulders.

They took neat steps, and their footsteps made the earth roar, and a fierce and wild breath came to their faces.

And led them with a black-haired and black-cred warrior.

He obviously found the existence of the mercenaries and changed his direction and strode towards Avery and others.

Aili and others couldn't help but be nervous. The other party was as strong as a giant bear, with amazing sharp eyes, giving them a great sense of oppression.
