In this way, listening to the old woodcutter's nagging complaints, Guan Heng chatted with him until late at night.

The next day, under the old woodcutter's repeated instructions, Guan Heng once again agreed to deliver a message to his daughter, and then continued on his way.

In the early morning, the dense swamp fog that covered the mountains and plains had dissipated, and Guan Heng followed a narrow forest path next to the wooden house where the old woodcutter lived, heading straight towards the road leading to the city of Dia.

After getting onto the main road, Guan Heng discovered that there were many victims in ragged clothes and families walking up and down the road.

After asking some travelers who were in a hurry, Guan Heng found out that the other two cities within a hundred miles of Dia City had either been harassed and plundered by the orcs, or they had encountered a wave of monsters, and the people had been displaced.

, there was really no other way, so I took my family and the rest of the family and fled to Dia City.

Really, there is no peace anywhere in this land. After Guan Heng watched, he discovered that among the fleeing team, there were not only poor people, but also many well-off families who wore gold and silver and made slaves and maids.

It seems that even if you have money, you can't buy peace, and it can lead to serious disasters. Guan Heng, who has sharp eyes and extremely alert eyes, quickly noticed something strange, but he didn't say anything, and just stayed in the crowd.

Follow them and head slowly towards the direction of Qiandia City.

Miss, wait a minute, please don’t run around. At this moment, a middle-aged woman shouted from a distance: Oh my god, little ancestor, can’t you please let me worry a little?

Hehehe, Aunt Kasha, come after me. A clear girl's voice suddenly sounded behind Guan Heng.

However, at the next moment, the reckless girl who was running turned around to tease and challenge the nanny. However, because she was not paying attention to the road ahead, she hit Guan Heng's back with a bang.

Er, Guan Heng subconsciously touched the egg on his back: Huh, luckily it's still intact.

Only then did Guan Heng look back and saw that the girl in a gorgeous skirt had fallen to the ground.

The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was pretty and cute. Her blond hair shone in the sun and she had a ponytail. Her reaction was not slow. After being knocked down, she stood up immediately.

Hey, big brother, this blond little loli put her hands on her hips and asked: Did you bump into me on purpose?

Uh-huh. Faced with this little girl’s weird question, Guan Heng smiled and shrugged and said: If I had a pair of eyes on my back, your assumption would be valid.

Uh-huh, what you are talking about is that the little loli smiled sweetly after hearing this: Then I won’t blame you.

I'm going back to my own motorcade now, the little girl said, pointing to a place where two or three carriages were traveling not far behind.

There was a slight movement in Guan Heng's eyes. He then smiled and said to the little girl: "Sister, I also have to bear some responsibility for your fall. Who made me stand in the middle of the road? To express my apology, I told you

You have a little secret. Tell it to the adults in your family.

Hey, the little girl looked very curious: What’s the secret?

Guan Heng leaned down and whispered in the girl's ear: Go tell the adults on the carriage that there are some bad guys with weapons targeting you about a few hundred meters behind your convoy. Be careful what you say.

Now, I'm going to leave first. Guan Heng said that, without waiting for any reaction from the girl, he turned around and left.

The reason why Guan Heng reminded the girl to be careful of bad guys was because he had just passed by the group of people with weapons and found that these people all had stern looks and evil looks, and they were all exuding the odor of Ruoyou.

Without the smell of blood and evil spirit, a discerning person would know that they are thugs like robbers and bandits.

In the girl's motorcade, there seemed to be a lot of accompanying guards. Guan Heng thought as he walked: I just need to remind them that they will take precautions. Even if they are unable to defeat them, they should be able to escape by throwing away the bad guys.

After all, this is a public place. Guan Heng smiled slightly: As long as the convoy enters the city quickly, the bad guys will never dare to rob again. I can be regarded as doing a good deed unintentionally.

After walking a few kilometers, we arrived at the outskirts of Dia City.

There are towering canyons on both sides here, and there is only a wide road in the middle, which leads directly to the city gate not far ahead. Dia City is a typical medium-sized city that is half used for civilian residence and half used as a military fortress. The permanent troops stationed in the city are not

There were a lot of people, only four to five hundred people.

However, the local city guard general Carson, regardless of violating the military regulations of the Kauru Kingdom, hired a group of mercenaries without authorization to act as his own personal escort.

Hey, hey, hey, anyone who wants to enter the city, please prick up your ears and listen. Standing at the gate of the city, howling with his hands on his hips, is a chief of the city defense army wearing leather armor.

I have received an order from Lord Carson, the general who defended the city, and now I am informing you that everyone who enters the city must pay fifty copper coins as a handling fee for temporary residence. The commander of the city defender shouted impatiently: "No money."

Poor people, no one can enter the city of Dia, they all should stay away from me.

What are you talking about? The crowd of refugees who are eager to enter the city suddenly started to make a noise: The reason why we dragged our families all the way to Dia city is because our families were hit by a disaster and we can’t even eat at the moment.

, where did the money come from for you?

Let us in to protest against the unreasonable exorbitant taxes.

To hell with that shameless money nut, Carson.

The angry victims roared and became excited, and the situation was about to become more serious.

Damn it, you poor people are going to rebel. The commander of the city guard waved his hand angrily: Archers on the tower are ready.

Swish, swish, swish. At this moment, hundreds of archers suddenly appeared on the city tower. Countless arrowheads flashing with cold light were all aimed at the refugees below the city.

Seeing that they were not shaking their fists at the refugees, the commander of the city defenders shouted extremely arrogantly: "Do you want to become a hedgehog? Those who are rich should obediently pay the money to enter the city, and those who have no money should get out."

This Carson who has killed a thousand swords, well, it’s more important to save his life, so stay away first.

Facing the cold and merciless arrows on the city wall, most people were scared to retreat, but at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Wait a minute, Lord of the city defenders, I have something to say. A middle-aged man wearing a butler's attire suddenly separated from the hesitant people who were in a dilemma and walked to the city gate with long strides.
