Devouring the Starry Sky: Starting from the Zerg’s 100-fold explosion of troops

Chapter 34 Siege Battle , routine inspection!

[Aditya City] is the core city in this area.

There are a large number of [Grey Dwarf Towns] below it. Every day [Grey Dwarfs] from different towns come to [Aditya City] to trade daily necessities.

They bring the ores collected in their own town, the grain and vegetables grown, the wild beasts captured and hunted, the freshly made furs... and other things to [Aditya City] in exchange for the belongings of their own town in [Aditya City]. Necessary living supplies.

It can be said that there is an endless stream of people coming and going in front of the city gate of [Aditya City] every day. During the day, it is a lively and grand scene. Only at night, the gate of [Aditya City] It was finally quiet at the city gate.

The [grey dwarf civilians] who come from the town to [Aditya City] to exchange supplies every day have a dream deep in their hearts, that is, one day they can buy a house of their own in [Aditya City] of houses.

But such a dream is just a dream. Many people [gray dwarf civilians] work hard all their lives and cannot settle down in [Aditya City].

But even if it is just a simple house in Aditya City that is low and small enough to accommodate only one person, it is the dream of countless gray dwarf civilians.

Sedam was a [grey dwarf soldier] responsible for guarding the city gate. He originally wanted to take advantage of the reduced flow of people to find a place to be lazy and catch fish, but at this moment, a group of [grey dwarf civilians] 】Pushing 10 large wooden carts filled with hay towards the city gate.

"It's really annoying, so many gongs and pots are coming again!"

Sedam looked at the [grey dwarf civilians] pushing carts towards the city gate with disgust on his face, his eyes full of disdain.

Although he is only one of the lowest people in [Aditya City], working for the [grey dwarf nobles], he still looks down on the [grey dwarf commoners] from the town and regards them as The existence of gong pot.

In the gray dwarf culture, gong pot is similar to the words "inferior", "country bumpkin", "hillbilly", "hair picker" and other words in the culture of the Galactic Empire. Anyway, it means looking down on others and thinking highly of oneself.

But it was his duty. Seeing those [gray dwarf civilians] approaching with carts filled with hay, Sedam stepped forward with a look of disgust on his face, raised the spear in his hand and pointed at the command.

"Stop, check!"

Inspection is a routine process for entering [Aditya City], and it is also the main way for gatekeepers like Saidam to make money. In the ancient earth era, there was a saying: 'The king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. ’.

This principle also applies to the Gray Dwarf Kingdom. Guard soldiers like Sedam earn very meager wages and can hardly even support their families. Naturally, they will inevitably have some evil thoughts.

During routine inspections, if you know the rules, you will pass the inspection easily.

If you don't understand the rules, then I'm sorry, everything can only be done in a formal manner, which may take a day, and you may not be able to pass the routine inspection process.

With this kind of operation, janitor soldiers like Sedam have made a lot of money. They also know the rules when it comes to making money, and will provide the part of the money they make to their superiors [gray dwarf knights] in the form of 'filial piety' .

Over time, the so-called ‘rules’ have become a tradition at the gate of [Aditya City].

"Sir!"

Those [gray dwarf civilians] knew the 'rules' very well. After hearing Sedam's scolding, they quickly stopped the cart, walked towards Sedam, and quietly stuffed 5 into Sedam's hand. A silver coin. Sedam felt the weight of the five silver coins in his hand, and his eyes were full of surprise. The five silver coins were equivalent to four months of his salary. With such an unexpected fortune, he would definitely be able to win in the tavern. It’s been a lot of fun here.

"Ok!"

For such a [grey dwarf commoner] who knew the rules, the look of disgust in his eyes was a little less. After symbolically checking the 10 large carts and the wooden wheel carts filled with hay, he looked at those [grey dwarf civilians]. Dwarf civilian] said.

"If the inspection passes, you can pass!"

"Thank you, sir!"

After hearing Sedam say "passed", the [gray dwarf civilians] quickly thanked them, and then continued to push the 10 large wooden carts filled with hay towards [Aditya City].

Seeing the gray dwarf civilians pushing the carts away, Sedam weighed the five silver coins in his hand, his eyes full of surprise, and he murmured to himself.

"Why are there so many carts carrying hay entering the city today? Could it be that the nobles want to burn it and play with it? Even if they burn it and play, they won't be able to use so much hay... Who cares, it's the nobles' business, isn't it? We civilians can worry about that..."

"I only care about the gate. As long as those 'Gong Guo' people understand the rules, I hope they can transport more hay into the city, so that I can live a leisurely life for many more days..."

Just when Sedam was pleasantly surprised by his gray income, he didn't know how much impact his behavior would have on [Aditya City] later on.

As time went by, the sky gradually darkened.

The gates of [Aditya City] are also slowly closing, no one is allowed in, and no one is allowed to leave the city.

And in a small courtyard in [Aditya City], it was a house rented out by a [grey dwarf noble]. Today it was rented by a [grey dwarf businessman] who claimed to be in the hay business. Come down.

[Grey Dwarf Merchant] is a heterogeneous existence in the [Grey Dwarf Kingdom]. Although he is not engaged in material production activities, he has abundant wealth, but his social status is not high. In terms of status, he is not even a [Grey Dwarf Merchant]. Even worse than civilians.

This is somewhat similar to the social system of the feudal period of a large eastern country in the ancient earth era.

[Grey Dwarf Merchant] Although his social status is not very high, he plays a very important role in exchanging materials and information, and is rich in wealth, but he has to keep his tail between his legs. This is why he lives in the [Grey Dwarf Kingdom] ] basic living conditions.

In the small yard rented by [Gray Dwarf Nobles], there were at least a hundred large carts filled with hay.

Under the seemingly ordinary hay, as night fell and both civilians and nobles gradually fell asleep, red eyes suddenly lit up inside the hay on the carts.

One after another, ferocious-looking creatures crawled out from under the hay. They looked around, radiating bloodthirsty and violent gazes that made those who were targeted feel a numb scalp.
