Ayss Domination

Amber City, garrison.

A heavily armored warrior hurriedly walked into the room and said to the two people who were arguing: "It's not good."

"Sir Callas!"

"There were more than ten people missing in a row last night, it looks like it was the fallen ones!"

The argument in the room stopped abruptly.

Sir Karas, who represents the power of the nobility, is a man in his forties with a thick beard. He once participated in the war in the north. He raised his head and showed dense bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and said angrily: "What?"

"Someone is missing again?"

"You trash! It's been five days, and I haven't been able to find the mouse's nest!"

"What does the council use to support you?"

Opposite him was a knight with a solemn face. After hearing these words, he immediately stopped him and said solemnly, "This is not the time to say this!"

"The noble council must delegate authority!"

"Now the seriousness of this matter is beyond the scope of the world, and it must be handed over to the church in the city!"

"I will contact the Hand of Justice now and ask them to send paladins to conduct a large-scale investigation."

Are the paladins really going to be dispatched?

There was a trace of struggle and hesitation on Sir Karas's face. Paladins are some dead brains who can't tolerate sand in their eyes. Once they are dispatched, it means that there will be a large-scale'detection of evil' incident.Few nobles in Amber City are clean. Many gray areas are controlled by the nobles. Once the paladins are dispatched on a large scale, it means that Amber City will be cleaned!

It is not only these evil depraved people who will be caught.

The gray interests held by many great nobles in the city will also be purged by the paladins.

At that time, the strength of the nobles will be greatly reduced, and the influence of the church on the city will be greatly increased. In many cases, unless there is no other way, the nobles are trying their best to suppress the influence of the church.Pan-faith and fanaticism are two extreme concepts. If those paladins are released, the gray area of ​​Amber City will be swept away, and he will offend many noble members at that time.

Smuggling, sex, slaves, black market!

Behind those gangsters holding these gray interests, which one is not supported by a nobleman.

"No!"

Sir Karas gritted his teeth and retorted: "The Ninth Corps has been transferred back."

"Our strength is still abundant."

"Now I will go to your lord of the city, and then fight for the highest level of search rights, and I must find that nasty group of mice today!"

The highest search power.

It means that they can also go in and search the house of the nobles. After so long without a clue, he already suspects whether any noble has fallen into the dark realm.

"Well."

The solemn-faced Temple Knight nodded and said in a condensed voice, "You should apply now."

"If you can't get it before dark."

"Then I will work with the church in the city to deal with it on my own. After so many people have been missing in a row, I suspect they are preparing for an evil sacrifice ceremony!"

………………

Outside Amber City.

Three hours have passed since Sauron left, and this caravan really left without delay.

He followed the caravan on a traveling horse, and Vivian was sitting in front of him. The little girl had almost no weight, and the traveling horse was easier to bear the weight of the two of them.At first, there was a large area of ​​cultivated farmland outside. Amber City was surrounded by dozens of villages and towns. The materials needed in the city were transported from here.Donkey carts, ox carts, and bucket wheels (bucket carts) for transporting goods can often be seen on the roads, and small merchants from farmers will send the goods they need tomorrow to the city in advance.

However, as the distance from Amber City became more and more distant, the amount of farmland began to become thinner, and large tracts of wild forest began to appear in the field of vision.

Occasionally there will be small villages with few people.

The farther away you are from the city, the more danger you will encounter. These small villages rely on their own organization of militia guards, and very few guards from Amber City come to clean up nearby monsters.

Unless they ask for help, or move their lord!

The road when I left Amber City was more than ten meters wide, but now the avenue has shrunk to five or six meters.

The road has also become potholes, because it has rained some time ago, and the road looks very muddy. Sometimes when a large vehicle passes, it needs to be pushed down by hand.

The caravan escort has begun to fully operate.

Some of the guards were scattered around on horseback, some began to check the road conditions ahead, and the other began to investigate the surrounding environment.

Thirty kilometers after leaving Amber City, he has entered the range of wild biological activities!

Sauron was quiet all the way.

Vivian was also very obedient today. The road was not noisy at all, she just looked around with big eyes curiously, and would ask Sauron if she didn't understand anything.

The caravan didn't care too much about this follower. The merchants were all busy with their own affairs.

The mysterious caravan owner did not show up either. The three stewards under her were responsible for handling the matter. This was a large-scale caravan.

There are as many as thirty people in the escort alone.

If you add the men, servants, and slaves accompanying the caravan, there are hundreds of people.

This is a relatively common lineup in the North. Those ordinary merchants who are attached to the caravan owner need to organize their own carriages, manpower and goods, and then seek the protection of the caravan owner during the journey. After completing a journey, they One-third of all proceeds should be dedicated to the owner of the caravan!

——The descendant of the mysterious Northland Witch!

There was a sound of horse hooves.

The leader of the caravan guard rode his horse to Sauron's side. The nearby vision had deteriorated a lot. The dense weeds and woods affected their vision, and there were hardly many people around.

"Rogue?"

The captain of the guard took a look at Sauron, and said solemnly: "There are some conditions ahead."

"You come with me and have a look."

Upon hearing this, Vivian stretched out his little hand and grabbed Sauron's sleeve, but he patted the girl's shoulder comfortably, and then said, "I want to take care of my sister."

"look."

"She is still young and can't ride a horse by herself."

Sauron’s words were just finished, a curtain suddenly lifted up on the big carriage in the center of the caravan, and then a veiled and graceful woman poked her head out. She glanced at Vivian, who was not far away. With a smile, he said gently: "This little girl can come to me."

"The carriage is comfortable and safe."

Sauron hesitated when he heard the words, and then looked down at Vivian.

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes. I like that big sister."

"She is not a bad person."

Vivienne's perception is as high as 18 points, which means that her intuition is very good.

Sauron thought for a while, nodded slightly and said, "That's good."

"You go and stay in the big carriage first, and I will go ahead with them to take a look."

Wanderer.

This is the official name of thieves, they are the golden fingers of professionals, and they are involved in almost most fields.

In the wild adventure, the rogue's reconnaissance ability is second only to the ranger's'wild survival' talent!

The two quickly rode their horses and rushed towards the place where the situation appeared.

The caravan's forward speed has also slowed down a bit, and they will not speed up until the guards are sure that it is safe ahead.

"Boss!"

"You are finally here."

Sauron turned a mountain road, and the forest in front became more and more luxuriant. Not far away were three caravan guards, all mature and stable melee professionals.

One of the guards with obvious characteristics of northern people squatted down, pointed to the footprints on the ground, and said to them both: "Look!"

"This is the footprint of a goblin."

"Judging from the number of them, there are dozens of them, and there may be natural warlocks in them!"

"These annoying things can't be killed in any way."

"Solved this year."

"Next year they can give birth to a big nest again!"

The growth cycle of the goblin is very short, and the survival ability is very tenacious, even if it eats grassroots, it can survive.

They are like weeds in the wild, and another batch will emerge as soon as one batch is cleared.

"It is indeed a goblin."

Sauron glanced at the footprints left near the road. Some of them had been washed away by the rain, but the approximate number could be estimated.

but.

This goblin dare not play the caravan idea.

According to Sauron's understanding of goblins, these timid creatures must have more than five or ten times the number of their enemies before they dare to attack the enemy.

Any five-person adventure team can deal with them.

As if seeing the doubt on Sauron's face, another caravan guard pulled aside the grass beside him, and said solemnly, "This is not the key."

"Look here."

It was a place that was obviously different. The soil looked very fresh, as if it had been turned over. The area was about five feet wide.

There are blood stains within five meters nearby, even if it has been washed by rain, it can still be seen.

"Apparently these goblins encountered something."

The head of the caravan guard grabbed a handful of dirt and put it on the tip of his nose, smelling it, and said in a deep voice, "This thing is not small in size, and it is very dangerous!"

"The goblin can't hurt it at all!"

Sauron's expression also became serious, he pushed the others away and walked over, drew out a scimitar and stirred in the soft soil, frowning and said: "Digger?!"

"If these things are really troublesome."

"They live in groups!"
