High Magic Earth

Chapter 623: The Strike (2)

Since the news that the ghosts broke through the Great Wall's blockade and invaded the northern border has been gradually confirmed, anyone on the entire continent who has an understanding and awe of Westeros' history has begun to pay attention, even if there are some aristocratic nobles, Under the persuasion of his own scholars, he became more and more aware of the strange ghosts.

No one understands their horror, because the people who have never confronted them and survived have either become a member of them, or they are not even qualified to be a member of them, and their bodies have been broken.

However, although no one has faced them personally, it does not hinder the thick **** smells in the historical records and documents, especially those living in the northern border, where the ancestors and Andals mixed, they are more Know the terrible place of strange ghosts.

But since this {3w group of strange ghosts broke through the Great Wall, they have completely disappeared in the vast north. To be honest, the area of ​​the north is very huge, especially in the Middle Ages where various technologies and transportation are not convenient. If a group of people want Hidden, you can hide in the mountains and forests and live a self-sufficient Taoyuan life.

But this group of strange ghosts is not a decimal. According to some people who estimate that the number of strange ghosts breaking through the Great Wall may exceed 100,000, maybe even more. When most of them here refer to ghouls, but for those who do not understand the northern border, Ghosts and aliens are one thing.

Hundreds of thousands of ghouls can't be concealed no matter how concealed. If it weren't the broken Great Wall and the dozens of great wall barriers with uninhabited ghouls, many people even doubted whether the invasion of the ghosts was false intelligence.

Some people think that the ghosts go west into the valley near the wolf forest, where the Winter City is located. It is not surprising that the ghosts will go there, and some suspect that the ghosts go east and enter the forest completely, but no matter which kind . None have been confirmed.

It's just that Daniel didn't expect that he was so lucky that he found the trace of the alien, and he did not expect that this huge misfortune would come to his head. The alien had bypassed the fort and the winter city, and crossed the mountains and the plains , Straight to Baigang. And quietly appeared outside Baigang.

In other words...Lindong City and Fort Terror have fallen.

Daniel was a little annoyed, and the herald soldiers went a little anxiously. He didn’t ask how many strange ghosts came, but this question was actually not important, because no matter how much, Daniel was not optimistic about Baigang, and didn’t think it could be kept here. If both Fort Terror and Winter City have fallen.

The scary thing about the strange ghosts is that the more and more they fight, as long as there is a real white ghost in person. There will be a continuation of the army of ghouls, Daniel is not from the North, but he also knows this, because if you have money, any scholar will be happy to explain these things that were originally their responsibilities.

"Master, it's time to go, sir." Daniel reminded beside Willis, who was dizzy.

Daniel, who has many escape experiences, is naturally experienced when he hears the attack of aliens. His first reaction was to leave now, but he did not do so.

He was not afraid that Willis would ask him to settle the bill afterwards. The nobleman who lost the city needs to reshuffle, then he will not care about such a small person at that time, not to mention that he has nothing to do, at most it is to escape, Daniel can now use his experience to find the place where Willis hid the ship, and then Fake and pretend to leave. It's just that Daniel's years of experience tell him that staying with Willis is better.

One of the reasons is, of course, that his side is safer, and he wants to avoid death. These nobles and big figures will always leave a way for themselves. Of course, there are risks, such as only one person, etc., Daniel feels that his luck will not be so bad, and another point is that once Willis made a fortune in the later period, then he will naturally rise in height, so he will not leave until he has no choice. .

It has to be said that human beings are really a kind of profit-seeking creature. Before the escape instinct is stimulated, even if it is known that the dangerous blade has been hung on his head, he will still choose to maximize the benefits as much as possible.

"Oh, yes, oh, no! No... no." Willis was a little flustered, apparently not awake from the guard's report. He was stupid and rarely stuttered. He said a few more words. Daniel didn't find it strange. In front of life and death, few people can calm down, including himself.

"The ship is in... Hougang." Willis said. "The gate of Hougang is hidden and cannot be opened from the outside. There is a secret road leading to Hougang in your house. You send someone in immediately and then from inside. Open the door."

"Two hundred and thirty warships and transport ships..." Willis gritted his teeth, "enough... some people fled."

How many people there are in Baigang, Daniel is not clear, this is a trading port city-state, but he knows that the permanent population of Baigang will not be less than 100,000, and there are more floating population, even if Baigang is the five largest cities in Westeros The smallest one, the population is far from comparable to those small cities.

One hundred thousand is just a superficial number. Many poor people and refugees are hidden in the city. It is really counted. I am afraid that this number will double. The number of people that can be transported by 230 ships is not clear to Daniel, but it is definitely So many poor people and ordinary people can't be transported, even the nobles in the city can't dress up.

So Willis said to escape some people... really a very small part.

Baigang faces back to the port and faces the landing site on three sides. Of course, it can also escape through the city gate in the remaining direction. However, except for a river that leads directly to the wolf forest, Baigang is all plains on three sides. Humans want to run through undead on the plains. It sounds not impossible, but humans will be tired and need to sleep, ghouls will not, so hope becomes despair.

"I know." Daniel said, looking down. "I'll do it now."

Nobles living in the same city often have conflicts of interest, but when facing foreign enemies, they still choose the best place for their allies, because most of them have marriages, and even if they carefully compare the genealogy, they will find that close relatives get married. What is a joke among nobles.

The circle of aristocrats is not very big. In order to maintain their own honor and status, their fathers and ancestors have a very close relationship with them and beyond. This is somewhat like a wizard. Their circle is also very small, but they value bloodline more.

If the Mandalay family is in crisis because of aliens, these little nobles will be their best help. So they must not be abandoned, even the fat-headed Willis knows.

"Wait..." As Daniel was about to leave, Willis stopped him again. "What about my father?" he asked with a trembling voice.

"Master Earl...not in the city." Daniel, the housekeeper and investor, thought for a moment and said that the old Wieman no longer managed Baigang, and he handed over to Willis. Although Daniel hadn't spent much time in Willis, his ability to make money was definitely one-on-one, so he quickly took a position in his heart, and Willis handed over many things to Daniel.

"Sir, he has been hunting and outing outside this time. Lord Earl meant...Once winter comes, I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity for a long time. Then he will spend the night in Carlin Bay and will not return. To Baigang."

Many nobles have privately-owned mansions outside, and their mistresses take vacations or escape. Of course, in order not to be looted by others when he was away, a large number of guards were also arranged. Thinking that a small town like Carlin Bay is also a good place to raise mistresses, then the purpose of Count Wiman’s overnight stay is self-evident.

"That's good, that's good..." Hearing that his father might have escaped, Willis also breathed a sigh of relief. Daniel thought this was not bad. At least he still has affection in him, but the next moment. Daniel dispelled the idea.

"You take them to the secret road, let them find a small boat to leave first, to find my father." Willis pointed to the nearby servant servants who were trembling in all corners, "then..." his face Suddenly, he said fiercely, "The houses in the civilian area are not willing to accept my offer. Send your wife and daughter into the servants of the untouchables, you can take them all to me and bring them together on the boat."

"Now...to grab someone?" Daniel was dumbfounded. He suddenly felt that he might be wrong to stay because of the moment of life and death. What Willis thought of was such an insignificant thing in his own opinion, where is there no woman, not to mention Willis is a noble, he does not understand Willis's idea at all, which string in his head is wrong, and it is right to **** the civilian wife The woman is so persistent.

Yes, it is robbing, even if Willis is covered with a maid’s coat, but in Daniel’s opinion, it is still robbing in essence, but it is not a matter of discussing whether this is right or wrong, and the exchange between the two has been wasted In a few minutes, if you rob these people again, it will consume more time and strength.

Daniel didn't understand where Willis's obsession came from, so he could only try to dispel his thoughts with the noble etiquette he paid attention to, "So... I'm afraid it's not very good." He bowed his head, "This is not in line with your noble style. , These people did not accept your money... just snatched it like this..."

"Style?" Willis froze, and then suddenly began to shake his head, "No, no." He said, "My style is no problem at all, they do not accept my money is their business, and I went to grab them a little mistake nor."

Looking at the stunned Daniel, Williston understood what was going on. He sneered, and his voice contained a disdainful explanation, "The money I gave them is not an exchange, but a gift, I am a nobleman, and they are civilians. Everything about them belongs to me and is my private property, including their wives and daughters."

"I have them, no one will object, but I gave them money as compensation, so I am very generous and aristocratic, do you understand." Willis stared at Daniel's eyes and looked down from the top. He, the fat face is ridiculous.

"It doesn't matter whether they accept my money or not, because people will definitely get their hands. These civilians are my private property. What right do they have to resist? I want something that I want, even if I can't use it. For my father, the meaning of things is no longer important, the important meaning itself."

"Now, do it quickly."

Looking at Willis's disdainful and indifferent eyes, Daniel suddenly lost the courage and excuse to defend himself, because he suddenly understood why Willis seemed very approachable, everything was very reasonable and decent, because he never regarded civilians as an equal Creatures, in his eyes, except the nobles, everyone refers to objects, and still belongs to him.

It can be judged from Willis’s words that he certainly did not do less in this way of stealing people, but this time because of the sudden occurrence of strange things, he was a little hurry. Daniel thought that Willis was willing to put on a coat of servant, It has done better than most of the other nobles, but I didn't expect it... to be worse.

At this time, Daniel didn't pay attention to what Willis meant in the second half of the sentence, but it didn't matter, because he decided to go to Earl's Court to search for something, and then left in confusion.

Although the laws of the Tangerian dynasty did not clearly stipulate that civilians are the private property of nobles, but there is no clear stipulations not, not to mention that the law is in the hands of nobles, and civilians do not understand it at all, so this boundary is very vague, sometimes civilians Very free, but as soon as the nobles need them, they will immediately be inferior to slaves.

However, in order to prevent instigating widespread riots, nobles rarely bully civilians on a large scale. Even if there is, they will find a reasonable reason. And if it is too much for individual civilians, no one dares to speak. After all, this is essentially the same. A world ruled by aristocracy, and most civilians are stupid.

Although many nobles have the idea of ​​Willis, there is absolutely no such thing as dare to say so. With this, Daniel can determine what the status of civilians is in Willis' eyes. There is no status at all.

Facing Willis's disdainful eyes, Daniel lowered his head deeply. "Understood, I'll do it." He didn't dare to say anything against it. Understanding the meaning of Willis, Daniel immediately shuddered in cold sweat.

At the same time, he also made up his mind to leave in chaos, because in the eyes of such a nobleman, there is no reason to kill civilians because he thinks it is reasonable, and the reason why he lives to the present is probably strong enough and lucky There is no error, or you will definitely not know how to die.

Daniel, who turned around and left here, was very efficient, otherwise he could not climb to a high position in such a short time. After taking a short cut back to Earl’s Court, he immediately went to find someone to meet the group of maids, and then ordered his heart to open. The gate of Hong Kong, as for robbing people... He has long forgotten.

And Daniel himself ~www.readwn.com~ quickly entered the Earl's Court. He had to search for some money, or he would leave without compensation. Why didn't he go for nothing for so long, but what he didn't expect was that once he returned to Earl's Court, I saw that Willis had come back here one step ahead of him.

Although he was a little surprised that Willis was faster than himself, he didn't panic. After all, he didn't show his intention to run away at all. There was no need to panic.

"Master... why are you here, hurry to me with Hougang." Daniel stepped forward and then asked respectfully.

But unexpectedly, Willis gave an answer that he could not have imagined, "Not here." He labored to put some fat body into the armor, and the fat on his face seemed to tremble. " What Hougang to go to," he said, "I'm going to meet the enemy."

"What?" Daniel couldn't hide his surprise for a moment, and asked directly.

Willis seemed a little bit dissatisfied with the week's savvy confidante, and he glanced at him angrily, and said, "Did I just say that, these civilians are my private property, and of course I have to protect them." (To be continued... …)
