Chapter 27 Kick and run

In the previous life, Zalanda and the others were chased by the hobgoblins behind them. They were chased in a panic and had no time to protect themselves. They had no time to gather the residents along the way. Many of the people who joined were not lost, especially the Nott militia who suffered the most serious losses. Even if Once we reach Dalauma City, the suspicion aroused will not be too heavy.

It's hard to say in this life. Now Gavin has reason to suspect that when Zalanda and the others arrive at Darauma, whether they can enter the city smoothly is a problem. It is possible for them to be directly turned away.

As a result, the conflict between Zalanda and the current rulers of Darauma is likely to break out in advance.

Gavin wasn't too worried about this matter.

In his previous life, even though Zalanda lost his troops and his prestige was greatly affected, he still gained control of Darauma City and turned it into his own place of dragon prosperity.

What's more, now that Zalanda has a strong army and a strong reputation, his prestige and reputation are at the peak, and he has chopped off two oil bottles in advance.

If the ruler of Darauma City was smarter, adopted a gentle policy, and followed Zalanda's kind nature, he would not be easily overthrown even if he had an absolute advantage.

If she makes a decision that puts people's lives at risk for the sake of her dominance, it will directly touch Zalanda's reverse scale. It's hard to say what kind of drastic decision she will make.

Gavin soon saw the second and third patrol cavalry from Dalauma.

The feeling of being destroyed by the storm becomes stronger the closer you get to Dalauma City.

When they arrived outside the south gate of Darauma City, Gavin knew that Zalanda and the others would definitely not be able to enter the city.

Because this place is already overcrowded, and there are temporary tents set up outside the city wall, so densely packed that there are not even one thousand but eight hundred.

Gavin believed that the situation outside the other city gates should be the same.

Darauma is already overcrowded.

No wonder the city lord of Darauma City reacted so radically. These refugees outside the city were enough to give him a headache. If there were another wave of organized people, no matter who they were, they would feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Gavin did not dare to get too close to the refugee camps, let alone the city gate, because he was afraid that Vic would be beaten to death by the angry refugees.

Even if he got close, Gavin didn't think he could enter the city, but how could he find a suitable caravan if he didn't enter the city?

Before Gavin could think of a countermeasure, a sneaky and thin figure approached him and said, "Brother, do you want to go to the city?"

That wretched expression resembles the men advertising small ads outside major stations around the world.

"How much?" Gavin got straight to the point.

"How many of you are there?" The wretched man looked at the two war horses and the goblin warlock with his eyes, as if he was appraising them.

"If there are more people than there are people, is there any difference in price?" Gavin asked curiously.

"Of course." Seeing that Gavin was willing to discuss it, the wretched man suddenly became energetic. "There are many people but few people, so of course the price is not the same. In this kind of thing, of course, the fewer the better. If you are just one person, give your Give me these two horses and ride this goblin slave, which is enough. If there are many people, it will cost one hundred gold coins per person to start."

"Will you settle the score?" Gavin said angrily, "You just said that the fewer people there are, the less money you will have. What you said is completely the opposite. Look, I am a good war horse. Each horse costs five hundred dollars." Starting with gold coins, one horse is enough for five people to enter. How come two war horses are still a fraction of the price?"

"Brother, you don't understand the market." The wretched man analyzed clearly and rationally, "It's because you are a high-quality war horse that I offer you this price. If it were an ordinary horse, you would have to give me ninety gold coins. Here, war horses are worthless. If you want them, give me a hundred gold coins. In less than half an hour, I will help you buy three better ones. If you go out to sell them, your two war horses can sell for sixty yuan. , there can’t be more.”

"Can't you bring the war horse into the city?" Gavin reacted immediately.

"Brother, you are really smart. Those who went in first sold what they brought. The prices have been lowered a long time ago. Not only can't we bring the livestock into the city, but you, the slave, can't take it into the city either." The wretched man said The expression that I am totally doing it for your own good and helping you.

"I see, I misunderstood my brother." Gavin showed a look of realization. "I wonder if my brother has a way to leave Darauma? Both water and land routes are available."

"Brother, are you worried about Dalauma's city defense? Do you want to leave here?" The wretched man became more energetic. "You have asked the right person. I happen to know that a merchant ship heading to Mylatma will set sail at any time. I I have a relationship with the captain of this ship, so it won’t be a problem to put someone on board. It’s still the previous offer. As long as my brother nods, I will find a way to put you on the ship tonight. You can’t take these things with you anyway.”

"Well..." Gavin looked embarrassed, "Actually, I'm a little seasick. If I can take the land route, it's best not to let it go? I just don't know if there are many caravans heading to Tasselburg recently?"

"Land route, that's a bit difficult. Who can make me soft-hearted? As long as your brother really wants to leave, I can still find a way for you." The wretched man slapped his chest loudly.

"Forget it, I have raised these two horses since they were young. They have feelings for each other and cannot part with them. I'll just wait and see!" Gavin declined awkwardly.

From the beginning to the end, Gavin regarded the wretched man as a source of information for him and had no intention of doing business with him at all.

Because he was afraid, he paid and sold himself.

Never underestimate the evil heart of these people. Many of them are even scarier than the monsters in the wild. Those monsters want to eat your flesh at most. They want to pull out your bones and even your soul.

It is easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. The wretched man was obviously not so easy to get rid of. When he heard that the deal was not done, his face immediately drooped and he said with a dark face: "If you don't want to do business, why are you asking me all kinds of questions? Do you really think that we brothers are so easy to bully?"

As he was talking, four or five fat and strong men surrounded him from not far away.

"Brother, you can't cheat me, are you going to rob me?" Gavin knew that the man in front of him was not a good thing, but he didn't expect him to be so bold. There were the city defense team of Dalaoma wandering in the distance.

"These are our war horses and our slaves. If you know what's good for you, return them obediently. Otherwise, don't blame me for arresting you and punishing you." The wretched man shouted loudly and bit back.

The city defense team of Dalaoma not far away heard the noise, but not only did not come over to check, but walked away as if nothing had happened.

In this case, either the wretched man and his gang have a very strong background in Dalaoma, and even the city defense team dare not deal with them.

Or there is collusion between the two sides.

This is another trouble caused by being alone and weak. It doesn't matter whether you talk to them or not. Anyway, the other party will find a way to trick you. Who makes you look young and easy to bully?

"Go to hell! Run!" Gavin raised his leg and kicked the wretched man in the crotch, turned over and jumped on the horse, turned around and ran away.

Not knowing the situation here, the only thing Gavin can do is to turn around and run.

Ouch!

The wretched man turned into a rolling gourd on the spot, rolling while covering his crotch and screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

The local snakes who were surrounding him obviously didn't expect that Gavin, who looked young, would react so decisively. When they accelerated to run over here, the other party had already run more than ten meters away.
