Chapter 61: Conflict At The City Gate
Amidst the raging snowstorm, the city guards on duty huddled inside the city tower, warming themselves by the fire and chatting while drinking.
Damn this ghostly weather, why did it have to be our turn for guard duty? Du Shou, the captain of the city guards on duty, growled in a surly tone. With fewer merchant caravans and travelers passing through in this kind of weather, they wouldnt be able to make much profit.
Captain, dont be upset. Lets have a drink and when our shift is over, the brothers will invite you to have fun at the Drunken Phoenix Tower, a lackey flattered.
At the mention of the Drunken Phoenix Tower, Du Shous face cleared a little. He remembered the woman he slept with there last time, with her fair skin and plump buttocks, and his heart couldnt help but heat up.
Come on, lets drink. Follow me, Du Shou, and you wont miss out on the brothers benefits, Du Shou said, patting his chest.
Thats right, who doesnt know that Captain Du will soon become the little brother-in-law of General Fire Wolf, and success is just a matter of time, a group of lackeys below immediately echoed.
Du Shou suddenly felt a little floaty. His younger sister, who was smart and lively, had caught the eye of General Fire Wolf a few days ago, and he wanted to take her as his concubine. However, his sister was too stubborn and refused to comply. He had been persuading her these past few days, that being able to hold onto General Fire Wolfs thigh was something that others could only dream of.
Captain, a fat sheep has arrived, Just then, an excited city guard rushed in to report.
Haha, it seems that my luck isnt bad today. Even in this kind of ghostly weather, a fat sheep has come knocking. Brothers, lets get to work. We need to extort at least twenty or thirty gold coins before letting them pass, Du Shou threw down his wine glass, picked up his double-edged sword, and walked out of the city tower.
Leading his twenty guards on duty, Du Shou looked out and saw a medium-sized merchant caravan slowly approaching in the snowstorm.
After careful examination, Du Shou recognized Lone Eye and furrowed his brow slightly.
Lone Eye had been frequenting the northwest border these past few years, with Intermediate warrior strength and a reckless nature. He had good relations with several small and medium forces in West Spirit City as well.
If it were a normal day, Du Shou would give him some face and let the caravan pass, but today was too uneventful, and he felt a little reluctant to let them enter the city.
At this point, Qi Bei and his disguised Goth merchant caravan had already arrived at the gates of West Spirit City.
Du Shou and his twenty city guards on duty walked down the tower and formed a line to block the city gate.
Lone Eye approached them with a hearty laugh and said, Captain Du, its been a while. Dont you recognize me?
Du Shou smiled politely and said, Oh, its Captain Lone Eye. Since were old acquaintances, I wont make things difficult for you.
The young city guard lowered his body and, at the same time, placed his hands on the ground. He then lifted his leg and struck Lone Eyes crotch with a sharp golden aura on the tip of his foot.
Just then, Lie Feng and Iron Head rushed over and pulled Lone Eye back.
Lone Eye, you deal with these small fry. Well deal with this guy, Lie Feng said with a smile.
Thanks. Lone Eyes crotch was still a bit cold. His precious little thing almost got destroyed. He vented his anger on the other city guards.
Lie Feng and Iron Head faced the silent city guard from opposite sides.
Has the Blade Warrior of the Saint Yana Alliance fallen to this level? Lie Feng suddenly spoke up.
The young city guard looked up sharply and stared at Lie Feng.
We are all the same kind of people. Come with us. You will only encounter humiliation here. Follow my Lord he will surely give you the glory you deserve. Iron Head sincerely looked at the young man, openly trying to poach him.
The young city guard did not speak, ignoring the yelling of his colleagues in his ears. Suddenly, he gave up the confrontation and turned to walk toward the city.
Hey, where are you going Iron Head called out unwillingly.
Forget it, dont cause trouble. You wont be able to afford it if you ruin the Lords plan. Lie Feng knocked on Iron Heads bald head.
At this point, all twenty city guards had fallen, and their captain, Du Shou, had been beaten the most miserably.
At this moment, a Goth merchant suddenly walked over, and with an air of superiority, slapped Du Shous already-swollen face.
You Du Shou could no longer tolerate it and drew his sword.
The Goth merchant then opened a sheepskin document in front of Du Shous eyes, causing him to freeze in place and dare not move.
On the sheepskin was the trading agreement between the Goth merchant caravan and the Blood Wolves.
Du Shou watched as the merchant caravan disappeared into the streets of West Spirit City, spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed, Damn it, theyre deliberately playing with me.
