Chapter 59: Inquiry and Departure
At dawn, there were no more halberd mercenaries standing in the city.
The dark town, with scattered teams, gave Jena a chance to defeat them individually. Her agile mobility and the sharpness of the weapons in her hands enabled her to quickly kill these enemies, and then retreat before the enemies closed. Then attacked again.
After midnight, most of the mercenaries of the Longji faction began to flee and left the town, and the remnants of the previous bowhunting faction also took advantage of this to pursue. After such a combined attack, the ownership of the town returned to the bowhunting faction. hands.
"Can I ask your name?"
Several people from the bowhunting faction bowed and thanked the girl in the blood-colored robe, and then asked.
"It's inconvenient for me to say." Jenna shook her head covering her face, her father was still in Fengyan City.
These people looked at each other, and then gathered together to make a bag of gold coins. According to the size, there were about 50 gold coins.
"Since you don't want to say it, then we don't force it. Please accept this as a token of our gratitude."
Most of the bowhunting faction are local people, and they still have some foundations in the local area.
Jena shook her head and said, "The money is no longer needed. I want to know something from you."
"Please ask."
Several people invited the girl to sit down in a room, and one of them asked others to bring a brand new cape.
"Do you need to change it?" he reminded.
Only then did Jena notice that her cloak was covered in blood, she nodded and took it, untied the slightly heavy cloak, and put it back on the black cloak.
"Can you tell me the situation and plan of your bowhunting faction? I was not in Heiyan before, and I just came back recently."
"This... Originally, I couldn't tell outsiders at will, but since you asked, we can talk about some less confidential things."
Jena nodded.
"Now the 'Huanqing' Tefera of the Bowhunting faction is gathering warriors in the valley city, preparing to counterattack Fengyan City. In addition, the elders' associations are also organizing militia to resist the invasion of the halberd faction."
"Are you sure you'll be able to take down Fengyan City?" Jie Na said again. She had entered Fengyan City. Now there are at least 80,000 halberd coalition forces there. Although they are scattered under different giants, they are still a powerful force.
"Maybe the big men above are confident, but many of us have just escaped from Fengyan City, and we don't have any hope for this." Several people smiled bitterly.
"We are not afraid of the mercenaries of the halberd faction. After gathering the hunters in the mountains, we also have skilled combat power, but the weapons of black steel are not comparable to the longbow."
"Black steel?"
"Yes, you may not have seen it. In fact, it is the first time we have seen it. It is a special weapon provided by Frost Rose from the South."
"Just pull a certain mechanism, and the metal bullet will be shot out, piercing the steel armor. Besides, there are more special individuals among them."
"Those mercenaries call it a magic crystal spear, and its power can even penetrate rock walls."
"Although not many, it's too deterrent on the battlefield. The average person simply doesn't have the courage to fight that kind of weapon."
Listening to the descriptions of these people, Jenna remembered that when she visited the Northern High Tower Academy a long time ago, there were similar things in the alchemy creations displayed there. Unexpectedly, it has been widely implemented now.
This world is constantly changing as my father said, and Frost Rose, with such a powerful force, will definitely not be content to be on the sidelines. And as long as they are behind the scenes, there will be no peace in the Heiyan Principality.
They need this country to contain Crancia for their southern battlefield.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is still lingering, she sighed in her heart, even if she can find a way to change the country, there is no environment to implement it now.
After learning more about it, Jena also knew a little more about the bowhunting faction.
"Why is there such a big conflict between hunting bows and halberds?" She wanted to know how the people here view this issue.
"It can't be reconciled," said a middle-aged man next to him with gray hair.
"This is the place where we have lived for generations, and every lake and field is owned by the owner. Those returning mercenaries are naturally unwilling to spend money on food and other things from us, and now they have lost their past. source of income, naturally we have to fight and make trouble.”
"It's like the wild wolf in the mountain eating the 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 murder weapons in their hands, so they naturally have courage."
"These people are accustomed to killing outside, and they have acquired a lot of bad habits of burning, killing and looting. Don't expect them to have a conscience at all."
"To deal with such scum, why should we give them a good impression."
Jenna listened quietly, recalling that she asked the mercenaries under her father in the city a few days ago, which was also the same question, but the answers they gave were different.
"We worked hard to earn money from outside. They didn't have to do anything, and they started to raise prices. Seeing that we were a few 'outlanders', they sold them so expensively. They robbed us of the hard-earned coins. What should be cheap for this group of people."
"Moreover, they are the majority locally. Many mercenaries who come back are not only unpopular with the locals, but also have all kinds of rejection and bullying."
"And what kind of elders' meeting, is a group of local old stubborn, with all kinds of rules and regulations to come
Those who constrain and harass you, one by one, because of their age, they need various services and benefits, and sometimes they also covet our wives and daughters. This kind of thing can't be endured as long as a man is a man. "
Although they come from the same source, the two sides are far apart. No matter how difficult it is to integrate, it is only natural that they are hostile to each other.
In this small town, the former elders have been slaughtered by the people of the halberd faction, and now the bowhunting faction in charge of the town is all young and strong with fighting ability, so the atmosphere is slightly better.
After understanding the views of the bowhunting faction, Jenna was a little disappointed because she could not see the hope of reconciling the two factions.
After putting away the salute, she simply said goodbye and left the town again.
Watching the girl walk away, the leaders of the bowhunting faction in the city whispered.
"Where did this girl come from to be so powerful?"
"Is this still a guess?" A man with a bow next to him chuckled.
"Of course it's Emenas."
"So young, with such strength, listening to his accent, he should have grown up in China, and then studied in school in recent years, otherwise he would not be so unfamiliar with the current situation."
"I just don't know which side she's on, hey."
"Forget it, in fact, the few members of our bowhunting faction are not good people. There are some dross, and they really can't see people."
"But what can we do? Our relatives and friends have been tied to this boat since we were young. Could it be that I can't get along with the halberd faction?"
"Everything was slowly buried a long time ago, but now it's just finally erupted."
"Forget it, let's go drinking, don't think about these things, relax today, let's take someone out of here tomorrow, it's still too close to Fengyan City."
"It's up to the people above to worry about major national affairs. We little people can live a good life every day."
"They don't worry about it, they just want to live their own comfortable life, who cares about the lives of us little ants."
"But so what, can you do the opposite?"
The group went away and disappeared at the corner of the street.
