Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Bee Man took Lu Meng to the Skunk Office to go through the formalities.

The process is not complicated.

The sheriff in charge of the real estate was a reckless Shaq guy. When Lu Meng arrived, he was still training the army and didn't care much about the affairs in the city.

Just because a few of them had white license plates, I asked a few more questions, as if it was incredible that a person who could only stay in Scone Town for a few days had the time to buy real estate.

In the end, Sheriff Shaq was only responsible for stamping the document. Even the specific location of the property was written by Bee Man.

It feels like a grass terrace.

It only took a few generations for the Kingdom of Shake to transform from a tribe into a country. Strong tribal traditions still remain in many places. In terms of management, military and political affairs are integrated. Most affairs are not separated between military and civilian affairs. Military positions are also in charge of civil affairs. It is inevitable that there will be some problems. Lots of unprofessional touches.

In the past, the Shark Kingdom fought all year round, and no problems were seen with this model.

As the peace lasts longer, various industries sprout and develop, and it becomes more and more difficult to cope with it.

'I remember that the queen had a chief adviser, Bayan, who was the actual person in charge of the New Deal. He tried to establish a professional administrative bureaucracy in the kingdom... But now it seems that inertia is not so easy to overcome. Twisted. ’

But for Lu Meng, it was enough to get an officially endorsed house deed.

After the bees left, the Yuke brothers and sisters came up.

"Is there any problem with this house?" Yu Ke whispered.

Lu Meng glanced at him: "Isn't the problem right in front of you?"

All broken.

"No, what I mean is..." Yu Ke said his experience, "In my hometown, even if this is a dilapidated building, the land price on the main street alone should not be only such a figure."

He and his sister came from Edge Town in the United Cities.

As the name suggests, this is just a second- or third-rate small town in the Northern United Cities, slightly worse than Scone Town. But in the same location, 30,000 yuan can only buy one toilet in Bianjian Town at most.

Just now, he and Salik were trying their best to find faults because they were playing red and white faces together with Lu Meng. In fact, they already felt in their hearts that the price was quite a bargain.

"Is it possible that your housing prices are too high?"

As far as Lu Meng knew, every inch of land in United City was literally precious.

The capital injection from the merchant guild played a big "contribution" to this.

"not completely……"

Yu Ke estimated: "Even if the land price in Scone is to be demolished and a new shop is built, the price is still cost-effective and can generate a steady stream of income."

"Not to mention just repairing the current house, the cost will be even less." Salik interjected: "What was the original homeowner thinking, so anxious for money?"

"Maybe they don't need this little money."

Lu Meng shook the house deed and smiled: "I have already obtained the house, but I regret it. Can I still go back?"

A few people think about it this way.

Don't pick it up if it's cheap.

After they came out of the government office and passed by the city gate, they suddenly heard an alarm sounding.

The Shaq soldiers on the watchtower blew the horn, and the sound was majestic and long, spreading throughout half of Scone.

Then I heard a guard shouting:

"Sand bandit! Sand bandit!"

The smoke and dust outside the city gate dispersed, revealing a group of naked-chested bandits wearing spiked iron helmets. A large group of them rushed towards the city with great momentum.

The city gate was not closed. If they were allowed to rush in, they would directly hit Lu Meng and the others.

"What should I do!" Salik was shocked, "Do you want to hide back to the hotel?"

She recognized them as desert bandits who had attacked them on the road, and subconsciously shrank behind them.

"It should be fine." Yu Ke comforted him.

He noticed that although the alarm was loud and the pedestrians around him were warned, they did not run away.

Everyone continued to be busy with their own affairs, as if they were used to it.

There were even several warrior-looking Shaks with their swords and axes drawn out, looking excited.

Lu Meng's feeling is more acute.

He heard the bandits shouting to each other as they rushed over:

"Kill!"

"Where is this?"

"who cares."

"Hand over your food and your strongest women!"

Lu Meng: "..."

Feelings are like a group of lost bandits, otherwise they wouldn't dare to attack Scone Town head-on.

The guards at the city gate were not nervous at all when they saw the sand bandits rushing into the city. They put their arms around each other and joked a few words, and shouted:

"Brothers upstairs, don't shoot arrows!"

Then they pulled out the segmented axes on their backs and rushed towards the sand bandits.

There were only a dozen guards who went up, and they strode into the pile of bandits.

The segmented ax weighing dozens of kilograms swept across wantonly, and everywhere it passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and there were screams.

It was not that the horse-killing sabers of the sand bandits failed to hit the Shaq guards, but they either failed to break through their armor, or hit the scaly bone plates. The splash of red and purple blood actually inspired the fighting spirit of the guards.

As the Shaq guards charged, the idle warriors in the city followed closely and soon joined the battle group.

The battle situation was even more one-sided.

"Why don't we follow along and join in the fun?" The adventurer brother and sister had itchy hands. "It is said that if you catch the sand bandits, you can get a reward in the Kingdom of Shake."

A man of great skill is bold.

And with Brother Lu covering him, there is no need to worry about any danger.

"We are not 'soldiers.'" Lu Meng reminded, "According to the law, we are not qualified to carry a knife."

"Yes." They then remembered that their weapons had already been stored in the hotel.

Yu Ke said sarcastically: "But these Shaq people are really powerful. Originally, I thought that the number of Sikun's troops was small, and I was a little doubtful about the combat effectiveness of the Shaq army."

There are only a few formally established soldiers, but the entire population of the Shark Kingdom can be mobilized at any time, so the war potential is huge.

"The territory of the Shaq Kingdom should be relatively safe."

"Um."

Lu Meng nodded, but in his heart he did not completely agree with what they said.

It was true that Scone's soldiers could easily repel the invading bandits.

But for the sand bandits to appear outside Scone Town, it was a very outrageous thing.

This shows that the border line of the Shark Kingdom is basically in name only.

The kingdom also has limited control over its vast hinterland. After all, the number of people is insufficient, and no matter how strong the individual is, he or she can't do anything at all.

There are probably only a few large and well-known towns like Scone Town that can really be considered safe.

Even so.

Watch the reactions of passers-by.

Scone Town is also raided quite frequently, so you cannot take it lightly while staying here.

"Hahahaha!" The battle situation calmed down, and a burst of generous laughter sounded.

Outside the city gate.

Buck looked at the fallen corpses with great pride.

The remaining sand bandits had several limbs chopped off, some of them were stronger and could still crawl around, and more of them fell down due to blood loss.

——There are various races among the sand bandits, including many Shaks.

The guards were almost uninjured. On the other hand, the wandering warriors who followed were all in trouble, and more than a dozen fell down. Some of them obviously could not be saved.

As one of the two largest bandit forces in the borderlands, the Sand Bandits are no ordinary people.

But there was no sentimentality.

A death in battle is an honor.

The second one is not very familiar either.

"Soldiers!" Buck shouted, "200 for the alive and 50 for the dead. Take them back and collect the reward."

The crowd cheered.

Especially the wandering warriors.

Compared with regular soldiers, their daily expenses need to be obtained through fighting.

Honor is good, but opening coins is even better.

Buck returned triumphantly with the soldiers, and happened to see the leaving figures of several plainskin men through the city gate.

One of them had solid white hair, and Buck recognized him as the homeless man who was at the gate of the city that day.

Because he was tall among ordinary people, Buck couldn't hold back and spoke provocatively. But he didn't expect that the other party had no sense of honor at all and ignored him at all.

Now.

They can fight bravely among the bandits, but the other party can only admire their heroic appearance in the city.

The gap is obvious, and there is no need to compete anymore.

‘The weak obey the strong, and the strong protect the weak’, this is the teaching left to the Sharks by the legendary warrior Kerra.

Buck was convinced of this.
