Chapter 59: Inquiry and Departure

At dawn, there were no longer any Halberd mercenaries standing in the city.

The dark town and the scattered teams gave Jenna the opportunity to defeat them one by one. Her agile mobility and the sharpness of the weapons in her hands allowed her to quickly kill these enemies and then retreat before the enemies could close together.

Then they attacked again.

After midnight, most of the mercenaries of the Halberd Faction began to flee and leave the town, and the remnants of the Bow Hunter Faction also took advantage of this to pursue. With such a combined attack from inside and outside, the ownership of this town returned to the Bow Hunter Faction.

in hands.

"Can I ask your name?"

Several people from the bow hunting sect bowed and thanked the girl in the blood-red robe, and then asked.

"It's not convenient for me to say." Jina covered her face and shook her head. Her father was still in Fengyan City.

These people looked at each other, and then gathered together to get a bag of gold coins. Judging from its size, there were probably more than 50 gold coins.

"Since you don't want to say it, we won't force it. Please accept this to express our gratitude."

Most of the bowhunting sect are locals, and they still have some foundation in the local area.

Jenna shook her head, and then said: "No need for money, I want to know something from you."

"Please ask."

Several people invited the girl to sit in a room, and one of them asked others to bring a brand new cloak.

"Do you need to change?" he reminded.

Only then did Jenna notice that her cloak was covered in blood. She nodded and took it, untied the slightly heavy cloak, and then put on this black cloak again.

"Can you tell me about the situation and plans of your bow hunting sect? I was in Black Rock before and I just came back recently."

"This... we can't tell outsiders at will, but since you asked, we can talk about some less confidential things."

Jenna nodded.

"Currently Lord Tefila, the 'Huan Qing' of the Bow Hunting Faction, is gathering warriors in Valley City to prepare for a counterattack on Beacon City. In addition, the Elders Associations in various places are also organizing militias to resist the invasion of the Halberd Faction."

"Are you sure you can capture Beacon City?" Jina spoke again. She had entered Beacon City. There are now at least 80,000 coalition forces of the Halberd Faction there. Although they are scattered under different giants, they are still a powerful force.

"Perhaps the big shots above are confident, but many of us have just escaped from Fengyan City and have no hope." Several people said with a bitter smile.

"We are not afraid of the mercenaries of the Halberd Sect. After gathering the hunters in the mountains, we also have skilled combat forces here, but those black steel weapons cannot be matched by the longbow."

"Black steel?"

"Yes, you may not have seen it before. In fact, it is our first time to see it. It is a special weapon provided by Frost Rose in the South."

"As long as a certain mechanism is triggered, the metal round bullets will be shot out and pierce the steel armor. Moreover, there are even more special individuals among them."

"Those mercenaries call it the magic crystal gun, and its power can even penetrate rock walls."

"Although there are not many in number, they are too intimidating on the battlefield. Most people simply don't have the courage to fight with that kind of weapon."

Listening to these people's descriptions, Jenna remembered that when she visited the Northern Tower Academy a long time ago, there were similar things among the alchemical creations displayed. Unexpectedly, they have been installed on a large scale now.

The world is constantly changing, just like what my father said, and Frost Rose, who has such a powerful power, will definitely not be willing to settle down. And as long as they are behind it, there will be no peace in the Black Rock Principality.

They need this country to contain Crancia to facilitate their southern battlefield.

The tree wanted to be still but the wind was still blowing. She sighed in her heart. Even if she could find a way to change this country, there is currently no environment to implement it.

After learning more about it, Jenna also learned more about the situation of the bow hunting sect.

"Why is there such a big conflict between hunting bows and halberds?" She wanted to know what people here think about this issue.

"It can't be reconciled," said a middle-aged man with gray hair next to him. He carried a big ax on his back and his face was as sharp as a knife, weather-beaten.

"This is where we have lived for generations. Every lake and field is owned by an owner. Naturally, those returning mercenaries are not willing to keep spending money from us to buy food and other things. Moreover, they have now lost their past lives.

As for the source of income, there will naturally be fights and quarrels."

"It's like a wild wolf in the mountains trying to eat a rabbit when it's hungry. There's nothing to say."

"You expect them to settle down. It's impossible. They are not stupid. They have murderous weapons in their hands, so they naturally have the courage."

"These people are used to killing people outside and have developed a lot of bad habits of burning, killing and looting. Don't expect them to have a conscience at all."

"When dealing with such scum, why should we favor them?"

Jenna listened quietly, recalling the same question she asked her father's mercenaries in the city a few days ago, but the answers they gave were different.

"We worked hard to earn money from outside, but they didn't have to do anything. They just raised the price. Seeing that we were a small number of 'outsiders', they sold it so high and snatched the hard-earned money from us. We relied on our

Why should we take advantage of these people?"

"Moreover, they are the majority in the local area. Many of the mercenaries who returned are not only not welcomed by the locals, but will also be ostracized and bullied in various ways."

"There is also the Elders Association, which is a group of local old diehards who use various rules and regulations to restrain and extort you. Each one of them demands all kinds of services and benefits based on their age, and sometimes even covets us.

His wife and daughter, as long as he is a man, he cannot bear this kind of thing."

Although they come from the same source, the two parties are far apart. No matter how difficult it is to integrate, it is natural for them to be hostile to each other.

In this small town, the previous elders had been killed by the people of the Halberd Sect. Now the bowhunting sect in charge of the town are young and strong men with fighting ability. As a result, the atmosphere is slightly better.

After understanding the views of the bowhunting faction, Jena felt a little disappointed because she could not see any hope of reconciliation between the two factions.

After putting away her salute, she simply said goodbye and left the town again.

Watching the girl walk away, several leaders of the bow hunting sect in the city began to discuss in low voices.

"Where did this girl come from to be so powerful?"

"Is there any need to guess?" A man with an arched back next to him chuckled.

"Of course Emenas."

"He is so young and has such strength. Judging from his accent, he must have grown up in China and studied in school in recent years. Otherwise, he would not be so unfamiliar with the current situation."

"I just don't know whose side she is on, hey."

"Forget it. In fact, those people in our bowhunting sect are not good people. They do some bad things and they really can't be seen by anyone."

"But what can we do? Our relatives and friends have been tied to this boat since we were young. Do you think I can't get along with the Halberd sect?"

"Everything was slowly buried a long time ago, but now it has finally exploded."

"Forget it, forget it, go have a drink, don't think about these things, relax today, let's take people out of here tomorrow, it's still too close to Fengyan City."

"Let the people above worry about important national affairs. We little people can just live a good life every day."

"They don't care. They just want to live a comfortable life. They don't care about the life and death of little ants like us."

"But so what, can you still rebel?"

The group of people walked away and disappeared around the corner of the street.
