The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 496
Zhang Qiang saw that those who were really fighting were the drinkers in the tavern where they were hiding, but not all of them, after all, a tavern can't hold hundreds of drinkers.

Banda Ke saw Zhang Qiang's doubts, and then explained: "There are other old guys who have just been arrested in the barracks, some peasants, they really can't bear the days of being used as cannon fodder or forced to do coolies, so After Caitlin cured a guy's hidden wounds for many years, they all followed. They thought that since you came to attack here, at least you would be better than the lord here. It's better than that Yan Boli."

Zhang Qiang nodded resentfully, "Yes, I will treat them better. I will respect their choice and give them a relaxed environment. They can choose to be coolies or live freely. I will not force them to do nothing for nothing." Work for me, once you work, you can get money, they can choose to be loyal to me, or choose to be loyal to other people, but they can't do things that endanger me."

Bandak said gratefully: "Thank you, you are such a good lord. I have never seen a lord like you in these years. I agree with your ideas very much, but I am not a very good and qualified one. I am a farmer, I am too lenient on those hires, I was robbed by them in a daze, I think I am best at fighting, Lord Earl, if you want to find an old guy to be your subordinate, then please let me Come on in, I'll do better than those young guys, believe me!"

Zhang Qiang stretched out his hand, "Welcome, Mr. Bandak, my team is short of experienced veterans like you to guide them. Due to the rapid promotion of my title, most of my team are recruits. There is no shortage of strong bodies and smart minds, but they lack the experience of fighting the enemy."

Caitlin was on the side, and she also spoke to Zhang Qiang: "My lord, I will not leave again when I come back this time. I think you can accept my mistakes and allow me to return to your side and continue to work for you. I I am very grateful for this, now please let us continue to block the enemy for you, you must make arrangements as soon as possible to take us away from the dangerous place, we will not last long, the Kujit army here has several thousand people."

"Thousands of people? Isn't it tens of thousands?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Caitlin said: "At first we also thought there were tens of thousands of people, but when we walked into the barracks, we found that most of them were newly recruited citizens. They were still some militiamen, some ordinary recruits. I don’t know, there are only a small number of veterans, maybe a few hundred. Some veterans complained that the entire Lana has too few troops, and most of them are concentrated in the inner city. In the outer city, there are only about a thousand troops. They’re just some not-so-powerful soldiers of the third rank.”

Zhang Qiang looked around, and found that the ones attacking him all the time were really third-tier soldiers, and he had never seen soldiers higher than third-tier.But after fighting for so long, the enemy hasn't increased their troops yet?

Before he could think of a way, he saw Melt's troops who were looking for the city wall retreat, followed by ordinary Kugit cavalry, but most of these cavalry were archers, and there were some rangers, Kugit tribesmen.

"What's going on?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Earl Melt breathed a sigh of relief: "Earl Zhang Qiang, the enemy has too many troops, we can't break through, reach the city wall, without me rushing, my soldiers will not take the initiative to resist the enemy, we can't accept it for a while. to the help of my soldiers on the walls."

Zhang Qiang looked around, "Is there really no road leading to anywhere?"

Earl Melt also looked around. His knights led the captives taken from the prison camp, running left and right, struggling to support, and were forced to retreat step by step by the attacking Kugit cavalry at the entrance of the street. They did not How many troops, plus Caitlin's number is only 700, and not all the captive soldiers will be accepted by them. Once they are released, they will disperse. They hide in some corners like ostriches, hoping that no one can find them.

Even if Kujit's soldiers were not strong in combat effectiveness, Zhang Qiang's troops were not very effective at this moment. The prisoners who had been taken in originally did not have much morale, and the elite of Earl Melt who had been released had suffered heavy losses just now.

At this time, Bandak dragged a guy who looked rich, with a big knife in his hand, and a tattered cloak behind him, but it seemed that he was dressed in fine silk, not like ordinary Coolie or pauper, adventurer's outfit.

"Bundak, what are you doing with a militiaman?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Bandak said: "Dear Earl, this person is Lana's businessman, he was also captured, and this time he ran out with us to help us resist the atrocities of the Lana people. I think he can solve your problem." The problem."

The man shook vigorously, shook off Bandak's hand, looked at Zhang Qiang and said, "My lord, um, let me call you that for the time being. The reason why I am willing to come here is not because of your kindness, nor because you drove us to fight for Zhang Qiang." You're blocking those beastly Kujits because, I want you to do me a favour?"

Zhang Qiang walked back and forth on the spot with his hands behind his back, looking impatient. He didn't like that person's attitude. Everyone respected him, and there were also fearful ones. Only this one was more presumptuous, but Bandak said he could help himself, so just ask him, "What's the matter, if I can help you without causing me too much loss, I'd be happy!"

The Lana businessman said: "That is, my first brother was captured by the leader of Lana's city guards. I heard that he handed over my brother to the wandering robbers who roamed in the mountains not far from Lana City. I hope you can help me catch him, and force him to give up my brother's whereabouts, and lead someone to rescue my brother from the robbers."

"Just this matter please?" Zhang Qiang didn't know why, he was very annoyed, thinking that he was also trapped here, Boercha had been there for so long, but he couldn't get in touch with him, the troops didn't know where to attack, if They won't hesitate if they can take down the city, but when they take down the city, I'm afraid they will be dead, because they haven't taken it down after three days of fighting, and the situation hasn't improved much now, so they definitely won't be able to rush immediately Come in and save yourself.

And this businessman actually asked him to arrest a city guard leader. Isn't this adding to the chaos?
Banda Ke looked at Zhang Qiang's annoyed expression, and hurriedly said: "My lord, he said that if you agree, he can take us a shortcut to the city wall."

"Really?" Zhang Qiang was ecstatic, it was just in time.

Lana merchant said: "Yes, my lord, the premise is that you swear by the reputation of the earl, and swear by your noble reputation, that you must help me save my brother."

Zhang Qiang immediately raised his hand and swore, "I, Earl Zhang Qiang of the Kingdom of Swadia, and I, Lunwadia Fort, Drimag Fort, Malag Fort, Tebanda Village, Uludana Village, Tas As the lord of Kulum Village and Qiza Village, I swear that I will definitely rescue the merchant’s brother, if I can’t, please ask the God of Heaven to summon me to be a guest in heaven.”

This oath made the businessman very excited, and he said a little bit expectantly: "My lord, you don't have to swear like that. If the god of heaven summons you to be such a good lord, I feel guilty. You just need to use your reputation as a guarantee."

It doesn't matter to Zhang Qiang, just make an oath, can God really summon him?

He has never seen the god of heaven or anything, although he has seen the magic of the bishop in black, but he doesn't think there is anything there, let alone the god of heaven, so this oath, he is completely perfunctory Lana businessman, but Saving people, if there is time, with his power and strength, is nothing but a piece of cake.

"My lord, please follow me," Lana businessman led Zhang Qiang to a mossy wall that looked old and in disrepair, "break this wall, there is a trail behind, maybe a little rough, but always One way."

Zhang Qiang walked around the wall. There was an attic on top of the wall. Look at the nailed windows, door panels, and thick cobwebs under the eaves. The people inside must have moved out long ago, but you broke a hole under the attic. A wall and a trail behind it, it's hard to explain.

The Lana businessman saw Zhang Qiang’s hesitation, “I grew up in Lana, I don’t like to dance with guns and sticks, people from a poor family made me want to be a rich businessman since I was a child, I traveled all over Lana Lana's streets and alleys are just to find things that can be sold to earn my first pot of gold, so don't worry, my lord, I know Lana City like the back of my hand."

Zhang Qiang took a few steps back, under the astonished eyes of the Lana businessman, and under the calm eyes of the heroes around him, he vigorously drew a lord skill. The wall rushed away.

After the "booming" smoke and dust passed, a hole several meters wide appeared in front of you, and you could see that the three walls of the house under the attic were actually dilapidated, and the back wall had actually collapsed, and it became a place for children to play. You can play hide-and-seek and other games, but Zhang Qiang breaks it, leaving only two walls still supporting it, but it is already very dangerous.

Although it was dangerous and the attic above was crumbling, there was finally a passage.

Behind the passage is a path that only allows one person to pass sideways. The path is the gap between the houses on both sides.

The layers are uneven, tortuous, and I don't know where it leads.

Zhang Qiang looked at Merchant Lana, and Merchant Lana hurriedly said: "The end of this road is just under the city wall that Bandak said. Of course, where you go is up to you. I can only tell you this road. I don't know how the walls were breached."
