It's not unusual for Wildfire Town to change owners.
However, it was actually occupied by the regular Byzantine army, which is rare.
Xia Ya was slightly puzzled, and he didn't pursue it, anyway, this matter didn't have much to do with him.
No matter who the occupiers are replaced, Wildfire is still Wildfire.
But when Char walked under the city wall and saw the guards wearing the leather armor of the Byzantine Empire's infantry, he couldn't help but be stunned.
These guys are the last time Char came here a few days ago when the mercenaries who occupied this place came here for the last time, and the identity of these people was still the soldiers of the mercenary group, because Char was going to enter the town, and one of them also took the last copper plate from Char to pay taxes.
For the person who took the money from his pocket, Char remembered it very clearly when he thought about it How come it is that in just a few days, these guys have become officers and soldiers of the Byzantine Empire Char was stunned when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves on the road behind him.
A small group of Byzantine cavalry rode in at a gallop, seemingly completing a patrol nearby, and a dozen horsemen dressed in light cuirasses, carrying axes and spears, suffocated their horses and swooping in from under the city gates, each with the rigor and discipline on their faces that only a regular army soldier would have.
These are all things that mercenary groups do not have.
When he entered the city dressed in ordinary Char, he didn't attract anyone's attention.
When he walked into Wildfire Town, he realized that Wildfire Town was different from the past.
The streets are obviously much depressed, and a square at the gate of the city was originally a horse market, where merchants from all over the world gather on weekdays, but now it is obviously depressed a lot, and the number of people is sparse.
The streets are deserted and deserted, and many of the taverns and inns on the roadside are closed for business.
From time to time, there are squads of Byzantine infantry patrolling the town, these Byzantine infantry wear military boots, and when they walk, they make a neat sound of owls, which looks murderous.
The streets seem to be deserted, with only a third of the carpets left and many shops closed.
Char wondered if the Byzantines wanted to destroy Wildfire Town, it wasn't that it had not been officially occupied before, but it had never been so broken.
Char was quite dissatisfied in his heart, he kicked a huge amount of money and was ready to come to a big chic, but found that the store was deserted, and he couldn't help but be greatly disappointed, and even walked through the black street when he glanced at the store where he had signed a contract to buy Warcraft cubs, but the door was closed and closed. walked through the black street and turned a corner, and came to the fat powder street that Char dreamed of, and at a glance, the turtle's heart suddenly lit up half: In the past, the fat powder street can be said to be walking on the horse flower street, full of red sleeves, walking through the fat powder street, you can feel the fragrant taste from afar.
But the streets were deserted, and a gust of wind blew up only a few withered leaves, and occasionally a skinny wild dog staggered through the street Woman, it would be nice if you could find a to come out Char was furious.
A man comes with pride, but when he encounters this kind of result, he will be unhappy.
What's more, it's a virgin who has been holding back for more than ten years Char walked two streets, found a tavern that he had visited many times, and strode in, the tavern was only half open, and although it was still open when he walked in, the huge lobby was deserted, and only two or three tables were seated.
A tall and thin man with only one eye in front of the counter, wiping the wine glass with a dry cloth in his hand, watched Char come in, just nodded, and smiled in a hoarse voice: "Little Char is here, you haven't been here to buy wine for a long time." ” Char used to come to this shop often, not only because the rye wine in this shop was the cheapest in town, but the most important reason was that the one-eyed man behind the bar had been Char's rival for three years before Char was an adult and sensible.
Because this one-eyed guy is the husband of Aunt Sofia.
Of course, this one-eyed man would not know that Char had twists and turns in his heart, and now Char would not be hostile to this guy, so he sat down casually, threw a gold coin and threw it on the counter.
One-eyed picked it up and looked at it, looked at Char with one eye, grabbed the gold coin and bit it hard in his mouth, before grinning, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth: "The little hunter has made a fortune" He turned around and took out a bottle of fine tequila: "Here, this is the best, it's all yours." ” Char had never drunk this kind of good wine, so he bit the cap of the bottle and poured it, exhaled comfortably, and then whispered: "Hey, what's going on in the town, how come those mercenaries have become Byzantines" One-eyed looked at the door of the store cautiously, and then smiled: "Don't you know that those mercenaries were originally Byzantines, and they pretended to be mercenaries to occupy the town, just to serve as an outpost for the army of the Byzantine Empire."
A Byzantine corps came here more than ten days ago, well, probably two days after you last left.
The Byzantine army took the town, and the mercenaries in the town were indeed in league with them, all changed their equipment, and then declared the town to be owned by the Byzantine Empire, and posted a notice under the city walls. ” "But how can the business in the town become so bleak" Char frowned: "They dare to be so messy, and they are not afraid that the people in the town will drive these guys out" This kind of thing has not happened before.
Many years ago, there was a group of thieves who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth took over the town, relying on their own strength, doing anything wrong in the town, and also imposing heavy taxes, as a result, the people of Wildfire Town quit.
For most people in Wildfire Town, it doesn't matter who occupies the town and who is the administrator, as long as they don't cut off their money.
But if you dare to hum around, there are no good people in Wildfire Town, just pick out two of them, they are both brave and ruthless outlaws As a result, the last time the thieves group, they began to think that they had broken into the sheep and could be slaughtered at will, and after angering the people of Wildfire Town, they suddenly found that they did not enter the sheep at all, but entered the wolf's den, and hundreds of people gathered in Wildfire Town in less than half a day, and everyone was an outlaw, and those thieves were directly wiped out with a slash.
The leader of the thieves was hung on a tree outside the town for a month to dry, and in the end he was eaten by crows and only half of his skeleton remained From then on, no one dared to mess around in Wildfire Town.
If you want to occupy Wildfire Town, you can be the administrator.
But the well water does not interfere with the river water Let's put it this way, if all the people in Wildfire Town are arrested and hanged, there must be innocent grievances, but if you kill half and keep half left, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net.
For example, this one-eyed tavern, this guy is not a good person.
He had a deep scar on his neck, which had been cut by a knife and cut his throat, which was why he spoke so hoarsely.
And Char heard that he was neither an Odin nor a Byzantine.
This one-eyed is not a mainlander, but from the Lantis Kingdom on the sea west of the continent, the "country of pirates", One-Eyed likes to bandage a turban on his head on weekdays, this kind of turban is called "pirate scarf", which is a unique costume of the Landisians.
Do you say that a good citizen will have a scar on his neck?
"Now that everyone has no business to do, the people in the town are not responding," Char was puzzled.
"Of course there is a reaction, but what can we do" One-eyed sneered: "This time a whole corps came, stationed in the south of the town, a regular army corps, but it is not something we can resist."
And, don't you know, it seems like war is going now, and on the first day that the Byzantines and Odin Byzantines occupied the place, the army patrolled the streets, declared martial law, and many shops were asked to close temporarily because they were deemed to be selling military contraband.
They didn't raid the store, so they were already considered to be following the rules. ” "What about Fat Powder Street," Char was embarrassed to ask what he wanted to know most.
One-eyed scolded, and also looked quite angry: "Bah, these dog-day Byzantines have taken away all the girls in Fat Powder Street, as if they are military prostitutes."
Relying on them to be soldiers has needs, don't we have them, it's too annoying?"
Char despised this guy fiercely in his heart.
You have a beauty like Aunt Sofia, and the idea of playing fat powder street is too shameless After drinking half a bottle of wine, Char threw the bottle on the counter: "Put the rest here for you, you are not allowed to steal it next time I come to drink" One-Eyed scolded with a smile and watched Char leave.

Out of the tavern, Char was interested, whether it was Byzantium or Odin, calling back and forth, it had nothing to do with Uncle Char.
He was neither a Byzantinite nor an Odin.
Now it seems that because the Byzantine occupation of Wildfire Town has shattered Uncle Char's plan to buy spring, he has a better impression of the Odin Empire in his heart.
Walking to the square in the north of the town, ready to go out of the city to go home, just walked to the square, I saw a platform set up in a corner of the square, on which several officers looked like people held iron cylinders and shouted loudly, and under the platform there were a few hundred and ten people watching.
"Thirty copper plates, thirty copper plates a month, and free food, food, and fullness, such a job is not easy to find," the officer shouted loudly: "If you want to do it, come up, hurry up, hurry up, and the opportunity is rare."
Under the platform, a group of wolf-like Byzantine infantry stood there with swords and shields in hand to maintain order, and a few guys in the crowd walked up from time to time to sign up.
But most people just watched with a sneer on their faces.
It turned out that it was Ramin Zhuangding Char, who was a little funny.
Looking at those who signed up, most of them were thieves or liars like goldfingers who ate in some towns, and now the town is deserted, and these people have nothing to eat.
The rest of the people in Wildfire Town, the most are Jiangyang thieves, who would do this kind of hard work for you for thirty copper plates a month The officer shouted for a long time, seeing that only a dozen of the 100 people to be recruited in the plan had been recruited, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and the ten people recruited this time all looked thin and weak, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with them if he brought them back.
Damn, I can't recruit it, can't I force it anyway, this is not Byzantine territory, and the people here are not Byzantine nationals He glanced at his subordinates, and his subordinates immediately understood, this kind of forcible pulling of people, who in the army did not know that a group of infantry drew their swords and rushed into the crowd like wolves and began to make a fuss.
The crowd suddenly dispersed, and the Byzantine soldiers pushed, pushed, and pulled, and the scene was chaotic.
Char was just passing by, but it shouldn't be, the officer stood on the platform and saw the distance, and when he saw Char at a glance, he raised his finger and said, "That guy there is strong and pulls over and pulls over":
