It took four hours to follow the old man Della and the others, and finally saw a very simple and dilapidated city wall on the horizon.After getting closer, Li Jun couldn't help but be shocked by the crude city wall.Perhaps, it was no longer a city wall, the bricks were all made of hard earth, the low ones were only more than one person tall, the city gate was also made of ordinary wood, and there were only a few lazy sergeants standing guard outside the city gate, wearing cracked light armor and holding rusty spears, ignoring passers-by, and even a few people smoking with marks in their mouths, or simply sitting on the ground and chatting."
This" Li Jun was slightly stunned, where is this a regular third-class city, it is clearly a dirt village, Li Jun feels that he can collapse a city wall with only one of his fists, and when the enemy approaches, the soldiers here are completely unknown.There were no artillery, no watchtowers, no sentry posts, nothing but a few lazy men acting as soldiers."
Don't be surprised, my lord, I heard from the miners from Edberea City that the wall bricks, steel, mud, magic potions, etc., issued by the empire for building the city, were all transported to the gold mine fortress by Rusif to build his base for gold production, and the heavy weapons, light weapons, ordnance and materials of the empire were all transported to the gold mine fortress by him, completely ignoring here."
Old man Della said.The group walked into Edpilay City, above board, and no one stopped them, which made Li Jun feel more and more speechless about the territory he was about to take over.As far as the eye can see, there are dilapidated earthen houses, scattered all around, and there are few brick houses, which are basically the residences of Edbele city officials and military officers.The population of the city was tens of thousands, all of whom were exiled by the Empire, or the descendants of exiles, so the law and order was very poor, and there was no government agency to manage the law and order, it was purely a free-range place."
Your Excellency, you probably don't know.The army under Rusif's command numbered 50,000 men, almost as many as the population of the entire city of Edbele. ”Old man Della said."
Why is there so much of his army, if it is privately transferred from the border army, even the commander of the Eighth Legion Gree doesn't have such great ability" Li Jun was slightly surprised, the entire Eighth Legion only had more than 100,000 combatants.If 50,000 people were transferred out at once, it would be impossible to hide it."
Rusif has been crisscrossing the desert for twenty years, since he used his uncle's power to defeat the first desert sand bandits, the wildfire sand bandits.The prestige was greatly shaken, and he continued to subdue one sand thief group after another, and then selected strong men from the city of Edbele, and gave them the temptation of freedom, so as to raise an army of 50,000. ”Old man Della said."
Now, the most powerful person in the entire desert is he Rusif, the wildfire sand pirates who were feared by all forces in the desert in the past are no longer the strength of yesterday, since the wildfire sand pirates were greatly injured and forced to flee.Now all the forces in the desert have to look at his Rusif's eyes. ”Toll said."
Even so, the Wildfire Sand Pirates are still one of the three major forces in the desert, just like the unquenchable wildfire."
Another said."
The three major forces of the desert" Li Jun was slightly puzzled."
One is the Wildfire Sand Pirates, the other is the gold mine fortress ruled by Rusif, and the other is the ancient city of the desert, which is also the most low-key force that tries to avoid all troubles and caters to it everywhere."
One humanity.In the desert of inhabited and sparsely populated deserts, having tens of thousands of troops is the top force, unlike the Venetian Federation in the south, the number of mercenary groups hired by them is often around 100,000.This territory of Li Jun.It's really terrible, not only the house is dilapidated and shoddy, but the security problem is also a headache.All the way.There were more than 20 fights alone, most of which were gang fights, with bricks, daggers, machetes, and even soldiers in cracked light armor participating.It's incredible.The streets were full of brothels, casinos, and taverns, and many pimped women, holding their newborn child in one hand and a man's arm in the other, burrowed into their houses."
They are all poor women whose lives are not easy, and if they don't sell themselves to support their families, they will all starve to death."
Thor sighed."
I heard from the miners from Edbele City that the food and water here are limited every day, and when the time comes, the government officials will distribute it to the civilians, and then a gang of ruffians and bullies will snatch the food and water from the civilians, unless you have someone behind you, or join the gang they formed, and pay tribute every month, they will not bully you and give you a way to live."
One humanity.Suddenly, a noise sounded from a nearby street, Li Jun walked over quickly, pushed through the crowd, and saw a woman in her twenties, curled up, lying on the ground, and a man next to her, with a whip on his face, whipped her fiercely."
He raised a bitch, I asked you to pick up the guest, why did you beat the guest away" The man roared angrily, the whip "snapped" endlessly, and soon, the woman's body was covered in blood.The woman cried silently, holding her head, curled up, trembling with fear.The people around were in the mood of watching the excitement, smiling and observing everything in front of them, and even a few people applauded."
Kill this bitch" "Hey, it's a pity, he's so handsome, it's cheaper to give this gong pig." ”Some people secretly regretted it, and a trace of unbearable color flashed on their faces."
Poor man, this is going to be beaten to death" "Goddess bless her" Li Jun walked forward with a calm expression, and suddenly one of his arms was grabbed by the old man Dela."
My lord, don't go, it's their family affair, it's better to have more than less."
Old man Della dissuaded."
Yes, this kind of thing is very common in Edbele City, where women have the least status, except for selling their bodies for food and water, being a chaste martyr has only one way to die."
Toll said."
Even if you save her today, if she doesn't sell it tomorrow, she will only die."
Old man Della said.Li Jun groaned slightly, and finally clenched his fists and broke free from Old Man Dela's hand.Suddenly, the man felt as if someone had slapped his left cheek, and the fan was so fast that the intense pain did not keep up with his thoughts.After a breath, a heart-rending scream rang out.The man's left cheek was completely out of shape, all his teeth fell out, and one eyeball was blown out raw, "He raised a bitch, who is this person."
What a ruthless method" Everyone took a slight breath of cool air, looking at the young figure, there was a trace of fear in their eyes."
You, you, you" The man fell to the ground trembling and looked at Li Jun with a frightened face.Li Jun ignored him and squatted down.After checking the woman's injuries, he took out a bottle of potion from the ring and carefully fed it to her.The woman's face was delicate, her figure was a little thin, only one meter and her early sixties, and she was a little malnourished.The skin is the typical wheat color of the desert people, the face is slightly pale, and the two lines of tear stains are clearly visible, which is pitiful and pitiful."
Tell me.What's your name," Li Jun asked softly."
My name is Blaitze."
The girl replied weakly."
Who are you with this man" Blaise looked slightly frightened and whispered, "My husband." ”Li Jun was slightly stunned, although he had already guessed, but after hearing it from Blaitze's mouth, he was still very shocked.Her husband forced himself to sell himself into a "dirty city." ”Li Jun whispered."
Brother Darcy, how did you become like this" Suddenly, several bearded men squeezed out of the crowd and helped Blaize's husband, who had fallen to the ground."
It's his bitch-raised little white face.Pity this woman, and put me" Darcy covered his left eye socket with anger and pain on his face, and he couldn't stop bleeding."
Ah, it's a yellow skin.Just right, tie you and this to the same bed, let our brothers have a good time" A bearded man smiled lewdly and pulled out a dagger covered with rust from behind his waist.The rest of the bearded men also showed their daggers, machetes, etc., and surrounded Li Jun."
Hack him to death, I'm going to gouge out his eyeballs, cook the soup and drink it," Darcy yelled.There was a sickly look of excitement in his eyes.The people around him did not coax like before, but kept retreating, looking at Li Jun with a look of surprise.Just now, they all saw it, that bottle of precious magic potion However, this is not what shocked them the most, but that bottle of magic potion actually appeared out of a ring suddenly What kind of space storage ring is it, "He raised it as a bitch, who is this person" Everyone guessed, frightened, and many people fled, afraid of getting into some big trouble.People who survive in such an environment are often very intuitive and tactful.Darcy and the others also noticed that something was wrong, and one of them suddenly became vigilant, looked Li Jun up and down a few times, and asked: "I see that Your Excellency is not an ordinary person, what kind of person are you" "Don't you think it's too late to put these afterthoughts now" Li Jun shook his head and suddenly rushed out."
Kill him," the bearded man shouted, and the dagger in his hand quickly stabbed out, teasing Li Jun's heart.Bang, Li Jun punched, made a strange turn in the void, and directly smashed the elbow joint of the beard, and the small arm and the big arm were bent at a ninety degree angle.Poof, Li Jun took the dagger that fell from his beard's hand, stabbed it forward, and directly cut his throat, and Dapeng's blood sprayed out.Everything was done in a flash of light, "this" The rest of the people were shocked, the speed was too fast, there was almost only a shadow, and in a moment, the life of the bearded man was easily ended by the yellow skin.This is still the result of Li Jun not bursting out with all his strength, otherwise, he would be able to slap everyone to death with just one palm."
Let's go up together, hack him to death" Darcy covered his left eye socket and pulled out a rusty iron sword from his home and slashed at Li Jun.Li Jun reached out a hand, grabbed the iron sword in Darcy's hand, and slammed it, piercing the neck of another bearded man, and with a bang, a large head fell to the ground, blood gushing out.A bone cracking sound sounded, and Li Jun's palm slammed into Darcy's palm, shattering the bone."
Ah" The miserable scream howled, Li Jun raised his foot and kicked Darcy's body directly to death, and his two partners next to him, all their internal organs burst, and the chest cavity was violently squeezed by blood, and the entire abdomen suddenly exploded, and blood gushed out like a fountain. mobile phone reading,
