Monster Minotaur

The rainy season in Hill Continent is not a good time to fight. The long absence of sunlight and continuous heavy rains have made monsters all over the continent become active. Monsters can be found even near cities, and monsters can be seen everywhere in the forest. Plant monsters disguised as ordinary plants, waiting for their prey to approach. Groups of werewolves and giant toothed demon dogs hunting everywhere, as well as those giant monsters emerging from dark corners, make even inaccessible places very dangerous.

In the past, several legions were destroyed when they hit Titans in the mountains while marching during the rainy season. And this lesson didn't just happen once. Experience and lessons from ancient times to the present have made most intelligent creatures at this time stay in safer cities or villages. Even those businessmen who can't afford to do business early will not trade in other cities unless they have to because the risks are too high.

Because of the arrival of the rainy season, Maro's invasion of Carthage also stopped, which gave Carthage, which was constantly retreating, a rare chance to breathe. But obviously not everyone stopped, and the marching girl was not among them. She was planning to rely on the cover of the rainy season to attack areas where Maro's defenses were weak.

It's really terrible. The knight at the front of the team wiped the rain from his face and pulled back the hood of his oil raincoat. The sound of rain hitting the rocks and raincoat in his ears, and the dampness on his body made the knight feel a little irritated. It was not easy to walk on the mountain road in such ghostly weather.

The knight's boots were already covered with mud, and his soaked shoes were also filled with mud, which made him feel even more depressed. He didn't know why the princess would believe the nonsense of a country girl, and even sent a dozen knights, including his own, into such a team, surrounded by some slaves obtained from unknown places. He worried almost every day whether the slaves around him who could only work a few months ago would suddenly riot and kill him.

What's wrong? A woman next to the knight who was also a knight asked him. Although it is not difficult to become a knight in Carthage, it is not a simple matter, and it is even more difficult for a woman to obtain the title of knight. Women who are naturally weaker than men in strength often find it difficult to pass even basic sword skills, and the female knights beside the knights obviously put in extra efforts.

Why do we have to march in the rainy season? The knight heard the female knight's question and originally planned to stop complaining. At this time, he seemed to have found an outlet, so he complained to the female knight: This is not the time to stay. Next to the stove, warming yourself while admiring the rain? But we have to rush to the next city to fight on a road full of your mud.

That's because this is the time when the Maro people are relaxing. The female knight heard the knight's resentment and said with a smile: At this time, raiding the frontline cities will definitely achieve good results. As for the mud and other things, it is completely There’s nothing to worry about, as long as you can win, it doesn’t matter what you pay for.”

That's you, Joanna. The knight rolled his eyes at the female knight and said, I really can't understand why you are from a noble family. You obviously don't have any aristocratic temperament in you. How can you endure such a situation? I'm already a little bit I can’t stand this weather anymore, I feel like I’m going to rot in the mud if it goes on like this.”

Compared to whether you are going to die. The female knight named Joanna said: I am more worried about whether we will encounter a group of monsters. Those guys are our biggest enemies. If we encounter them in such mountains, If it comes to giants or trolls, then our two thousand soldiers will suffer heavy losses.

Probably not. The knight looked at the dim forest around him, and began to worry a little: It has been so long since we set out from the city that we haven't even encountered goblins, so we shouldn't encounter any. A powerful monster.

Joanna also found the knight's words strange, and the fact was just as the knight said. When they set off from Sarasin, they never saw any monsters appear before their eyes. It could almost be said that they had a smooth journey to the front line. If it was just good luck at the beginning, then the rainy season has entered, which is when monsters are active and the number increases. It is a bit abnormal that we have not encountered monsters yet.

It's probably what the girl said. Joanna, who couldn't figure out the reason, stopped worrying about this problem and said: She is a messenger protected by God and was sent to save Carthage. Try not to encounter monsters. It’s pretty good, I don’t want to cause losses to the team because of monsters.”

Carthage, who was no longer in charge of Elam, had already seen some changes in Elam's situation half a month later. The SS troops infiltrated into various cities in batches and made some preliminary preparations. They sent thousands of propaganda dissatisfaction with the tax, hired scoundrels to complain loudly in the taverns, and bribed some of the city's councillors.

Three days later, as rain fell from the sky, opposition marches began, led by some parliamentarians. The crowd gathered in front of the square of the city castle. The members read their speeches loudly on the high platform, which not only refreshed their sense of presence, but also catered to the people present.

The suspension of several welfare facilities in Thunder Bluff and the rising prices of Thunder Bluff products in the city made these people with low incomes very dissatisfied. With deliberate promotion, they blamed it on the fact that most of the council members were jealous of Thunder Bluff. high income, and set such a tax bill. And in cities like Santa Fe where the Thunder Bluff factory was established, the workers were all involved and angry to protect their own interests.

Large-scale demonstrations continued for two consecutive days, with more and more people joining in. In the end, the city lords of each city had to come forward to appease the residents who were angry about the tax, and promised to reconsider the proposal. But in fact, after the tax proposal for Thunder Bluff was withdrawn, it was not re-enacted. Everything returned to the beginning. The tax bill that was only implemented for three or four days was declared bankrupt.

The Flanders Chamber of Commerce, which was driving all this, was surprised by this fact and also received warnings from unknown forces. When some businessmen with parliamentary status woke up in the morning, they found a sharp dagger stuck in their bed, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. They immediately stopped participating in supporting the tariff measures proposed by Lauren, and hired soldiers to strengthen their protection. They owned a lot of property and were afraid of death.

It's not your fault, kid. The president of the Alica Flanders Chamber of Commerce looked at the pale Lauren and said, Your ideas and methods are good, it's just that the monster has changed its approach. He instigated The people are making trouble because they are afraid of such methods. Even if we fail this time, we still have this chance. As for safety, you don't have to worry, I will send people to protect you.

Lauren is just a young businessman who has just entered the industry. He has only been exposed to some small businesses and has never seen such dark methods. Although he compared economic confrontation to war, he never thought that such confrontation would sometimes cost lives and blood.

I understand. Lauren nodded and stood up and said gratefully to the old man: Thank you very much for sending someone to find me. Otherwise, I really don't know if I will die. Regarding the tariff I proposed, Just put it away first. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the room to rest.

The old man watched Lauren leave his office and sighed weakly, if he hadn't noticed something unusual and sent a team of people to find Lauren. Maybe this young businessman, who he considered very promising, was already a cold corpse. The monster in Thunder Bluff was so tough that he had never expected.

For a long time, Thunder Bluff has been very friendly and abided by human rules like a good gentleman. But what happened now made the old man see that the monster in Thunder Bluff was not someone easy to talk to. Once someone goes against him, he won't mind using any means.

On the wooden beams of the room, a dark figure squatted among them, silently looking at the meditating old man below. Although the old man has put up tight protection around the room, such guards are set up by people after all, and people can't really think things through.

So sleepy. After watching for a while, Matthew left the old man's house and yawned on the way back to his temporary residence. He rubbed the corners of his aching eyes and looked back at Flanders. The Chamber of Commerce said: In this case, these people should be honest for a while. That guy Regel is still too soft-hearted. Such a person just warns but does not kill. Sooner or later, he will still do very troublesome things. of.
