This time, a group of second-turn mages will arrive in the Ganbu plane.
The magicians have sent Growa McDonnell back to Bena City. It is said that the son of the McDonnell family is not only a peripheral member of the Black Magic Monastery, but also the founder of the Hell Dog Army.
one.
This battle in the Ganbu plane completely brought Gulitem and Samira into everyone's sight.
Their performance was too dazzling, especially the half-elf archers with elven blood flowing through them. They were favored by the Elf Windrunners and held the Sky Strike Bow in their hands. They were completely the mage's nemesis. It is estimated that their personal information has long been registered by the Magic Guild.
Case closed.
Surdak said: "If we can successfully conquer the Ganbu plane this time, we may have to go to the big battlefield when we go back."
"Is there any delicious food over there?" Gulitem always looks at the problem from the perspective of a foodie.
Surdak said uncertainly: "For you, there will be some more advanced monsters, maybe worth tasting..."
"For me, it's just some more powerful demon warriors. I need to kill some, maybe in exchange for some advanced weapons, or advanced magic pattern structures."
"For Samira, the ground over there is full of gold..."
The two-headed ogre's eyes lit up and he said excitedly:
"This is great. I have been participating in such battles all day long. I feel that my strength is weakening. My dream is to be able to slay dragons, and then have the title of dragon slayer as the prefix of my name, and then take a bath with dragon blood.
of."
"This idea of yours is very dangerous. Do you know how far behind you are in terms of strength compared to a dragon?" Surdak asked Gulitem...
"Of course, it's not possible now, but if it's not possible now, it doesn't mean it won't always be possible in the future..."
Gulitem said somewhat unconvinced.
At this time, Surdak thought of the plane of Istandur, and he didn't know when he would have the power to go to that plane.
He turned to look at the half-elf archer again.
Samira was peeling mangoes. She raised her head in confusion and asked, "What do you want me to do? Or can I choose not to go?"
"cannot……"
Suldak shrugged his shoulders and said.
Samira said indifferently:
"Then... before you go, prepare some more dog heads!"
Of course, no amount of sacrifices like hell dog heads is too much...
…
The next day, Suldak gave a speech in the central square of Bankstown, and the entire square was packed with town residents.
There are nobles in decent clothes, ladies with gold and silver ornaments and hats like flower baskets, businessmen in leather vests, shop owners, small vendors, ordinary workers whose clothes have been washed and faded, and farmers with muddy legs.
…
Everyone gathered in the square, and everyone had their own area. For example, the peasants would never stand in the middle of the nobles.
Everyone knows that he is the current consul and military officer of the town, and he also represents the military headquarters of Bena Province. His army team comes from the rebels, and he is fully supported by the rebels... Oh, now these rebels have
It has become a resistance army. For the entire Bena Province, Lord MacDonnell's army is the real rebel army.
Surdak, surrounded by a group of heavy armored infantry, ascended to the podium in the center of the square.
"This used to be the richest town at the southern end of the Ganbu plane. Many adventurers gathered here. They came here to find the secrets hidden at the edge of the world. They also brought some wealth to the town, but now...
…But this place has experienced wars and is gradually declining.”
"I know that everyone here is not satisfied with the current life. Maybe some people here think that we are responsible for all this. If we had not provoked a war, we would not have let the town decline to what it is now."
"What I want to make clear to you here is that we don't like war, but when our homeland is invaded by foreigners, someone must stand up and fight for it."
"Some people will definitely say that wherever there are foreigners, you are a group of rebels..."
"If you really think so, I can tell you responsibly that if we don't stand up now, more hell dogs will slowly appear here. Those demon servants who are like walking corpses will lead them and exude...
The appalling stench passes through your front garden."
"If you don't stop them, they will hurt more people. It may not be you now, but there is no guarantee that the next one won't be you..."
"I believe that everyone must have experienced it deeply in their recent lives."
"McDonnell has failed to act, but they do not speak for everyone, and most importantly they have betrayed the Bena Noble Lords Covenant."
"This is our land, and we will drive them out if they encroach upon it!"
The townspeople in the square all shouted:
"Kick them out..."
"Get out……"
Surdak raised his hands and pressed down to calm down the agitated townspeople.
"I know that many people are very afraid of us, afraid that we will come here to take away what originally belongs to you. We are not here to suck your blood. On the contrary, we hope that the lives of everyone in the town will get better and better.
."
"Our income is based on the prosperity of the town. Only when the people here are rich will we gain more."
"I just came here, and there are many decisions that have not yet been announced. Of course, I am also worried that someone will misinterpret my meaning when I explain these things, so I want to announce them here first..."
"The tax plan for Bansk Town this year, in one sentence: all transactions are tax-free!"
When these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the square.
Everyone cannot understand that without tax revenue, how can the town hall survive? Or is there no need for a town hall at all?
Suldak waited for the scene to become a little quieter and then said: "In addition, all farmers engaged in agricultural farming in the small town will receive corresponding financial subsidies based on the area of cultivated land."
"The town supports the establishment of shops and workshops. The free market is not only tax-free, but also exempts stall fees and health fees."
"In addition, people in the town who have no income will receive a minimum living allowance every month, and this money will be directly allocated to the town's welfare homes and shelters."
Unexpectedly, further financial subsidies will be implemented, which has never happened in Bansk Town.
Surdak looked at the confused crowd around him and slowly explained:
"Many people will be confused. If this is implemented, how will the town's financial revenue be maintained? Will the civil servants in the town still have food to eat? Will this place become a chaotic place of abandonment...
"
"My answer is simple: no."
"First of all, the town will publicly sell a large part of the ownerless land. The arrears obtained from the sale of these lands will maintain the normal operation of the town. I believe that such days will not last long. This kind of low-priced land,
You can only buy it now... Of course, according to imperial law, land transactions are only for nobles!"
After saying this, Suldak took Samira and Siya and hurried to the military camp outside the town.
…
A large amount of supplies have been seized from the Third Army and have been sorted out. The next few days will be about merit point statistics. Recently, soldiers from the Resistance Army have joined the heavy armored infantry regiment one after another.
The number of people in the legion is increasing, and there are also some management problems.
Surdak rushed back to deal with several thefts in military camps. These resistance fighters had insufficient knowledge of military discipline.
At this time, you always need to hold the big stick in your left hand and the sweet dates in your right hand.
Regarding the problem of theft in the army, Samira dealt with it more severely.
No matter what the resistance soldiers say or do in the military camp, she doesn't care too much. Even if they are lazy in training, it doesn't matter. Everyone has only one life on the battlefield. If you don't cherish it yourself, how can you expect others?
But if anyone touches the things in the military camp, it is of a different nature.
The supplies in the military camp now belong to Viscount Suldak.
Even if it's just a grain of wheat falling out of the grain bag, that's it!
Samira, who has been used to a hard life since she was a child, has an excessive obsession with money. No one can touch the property belonging to... Viscount Surdak.
Those who reached out and chopped off their belongings, and those who dared to take their belongings out of the military camp... were nailed to the wooden rack outside the military camp.
Not far outside the military camp is a mass grave.
There was originally a pine forest, and the townspeople often used the wood there to make wooden coffins. Over time, the hills became bare. In order to replant some pine trees, the town hall encouraged the townspeople to bury their deceased relatives there.
A pine tree was planted in front of the tomb. It did not belong to the family cemetery and was not managed by a tomb keeper. It gradually became a mass grave.
Some of the town's death row prisoners are also buried there. Some of the heinous ones simply hang themselves on wooden crosses instead of burying them. They just hang them on wooden shelves and let them rot. Crows and vultures are frequent visitors to mass graves.
Now these red-eyed crows and bald-headed eagles land on the wooden shelves outside the military camp from time to time...
They didn't eat fresh meat, so they squatted on the wooden frame, staring with blood-red eyes, waiting for the soldiers who were being tortured on the wooden frame to die.
The anticipation of death in their eyes will drive the soldiers who are nailed to the wooden frame and being tortured crazy. The soldiers can even think of the miserable appearance of their own intestines and stomachs being eaten by a group of crows.
Before the theft, there was still a merit point in the military camp's accounts.
But now, for just stealing a shield and selling it to the weapons shop in the town, what he suffered... was not only the penalty of his merit points, but also the loss of half his life.
In such a hot summer, sweat and tears flowed down my face, gathered at my chin, and fell into the soil drop by drop.
All soldiers in the military camp will pass by the cross when they leave the camp.
Some acquaintances looked embarrassed and didn't even know whether to say a word of comfort, or someone simply came up and said: 'You... are so confused!'
There were crows laughing and laughing on the side, and the feeling was simply worse than death...
