People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

Chapter 223 The Beginning of the Westward Journey

Shangyang.

Weixi Province is located at the westernmost end of Zhendan.

It is the "gateway to the East" for the Western Old World countries.

vice versa.

Because it is located at the most central transportation hub of the Changya Road, Shangyang has become a megacity where trade and military coexist.

People from all over the world gather here for only one purpose - to make money.

There were countless traveling merchants, and eventually they gave rise to a variety of mercenary groups.

Among them, Ogre mercenaries are the most common, featuring a very high cost-effectiveness.

Besides.

Some of Zhendan's monkeys and tiger people will also join the ranks of mercenaries, but the price they ask for is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Benefited from the open policy of Binlong Zhaoming.

No matter what race you are, you can get what you want in Shangyang.

“Cousin, your family is so polite.”

In a restaurant somewhere in Shangyang, Liu Li was enjoying the delicious food in front of him.

Because we encountered a sandstorm when crossing the Dimension Stone Desert, it took us several weeks to barely reach Shangyang, and we were so hungry that we were in a trance.

"Eat slowly, don't choke..."

Zu Zhiyuan looked at Liu Li with satisfaction and poured him a glass of fine rice wine.

After all, Liu Li is just a teenager.

The first call of "cousin" when they met won Zu Zhiyuan's favor.

Thinking about his cousin's current situation, he liked Liu Li even more and naturally would not be stingy.

Good wine and delicious food, all treated at once.

"Liu Li, Zu Ju didn't follow you this time, and Deputy Envoy Zhao didn't follow you either. Are you really planning to go west alone?"

After three rounds of drinks, Zu Zhiyuan finally expressed his inner concerns.

"Yes." Liu Li nodded heavily, "After leaving Zhendan, the Shadow Crow Guard's range of activities will not be that large..."

"I asked Zhao Song to stay in Weijing to help my aunt and prevent someone from making trouble secretly..."

Zu Zhiyuan nodded when he heard this: "This arrangement is reasonable, but it is dangerous to be alone. If you need anything, please tell me."

"Okay!" Liu Li patted his chest.

"Sun Lang, when will that important person you mentioned come?"

A caravan camp somewhere outside Shangyang City.

An alchemist and a man in soft armor stood side by side, seemingly anxiously waiting for someone.

Sun Feng pinched his chin and rubbed it slowly, wondering: "The news said that His Highness has arrived in Shangyang. I'm afraid he got lost or was delayed by something."

The two were chatting.

A figure looking around appeared in front of him.

"Your Highness?" Sun Feng asked.

"Sun Feng?" Liu Li was stunned when he saw a man suddenly speak.

"It's me." Sun Feng smiled and extended his hand to invite you. "Your Highness, you have worked hard on the journey. I couldn't believe the letter from General Fu before... By the way, this is my wife, Shangguan Yue..."

"Greetings, Your Highness." Shangguan Yue bowed gracefully.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" Behind the two men were four sturdy men, who saluted Liu Li with their fists clasped.

Sun Feng introduced: "This is Fang Fei, the captain of the crossbowmen."

"Bian Yong, captain of the firearms."

"Niu Ben, Captain Yuyong."

"Zhao Qiang, captain of the Jade Warriors."

Liu Li returned the greetings one by one and said modestly: "You are too polite, please treat me as an ordinary person."

"Your Highness is indeed no different from an ordinary person..." Shangguan Yue chuckled, "It's very different from what has been rumored!"

"This is called a true person who doesn't show his true colors." Sun Feng said with a smile.

"I don't deserve it." Liu Li scratched his head awkwardly.

After the Battle of Chilei.

There are countless rumors.

Among them, the most widely circulated story is that Liu Li sacrificed himself to save his mother. In the critical moment, the dragon blood in his body awakened and he turned into a half-dragon with a dragon head and a human body. Together with Miaoying, he defeated the Tzeentch demon army.

More than nine out of ten parts of it are exaggerated, which is simply outrageous.

Fortunately, everyone is from the Weibei Army and doesn’t care much about the rumors.

"Brother Sun, are all the configurations of our Aurora caravan so luxurious?"

There is a commander for each of the Jade Warriors, Long Halberds, Fire Guns, and Crossbowmen, proving that they are required to convey military orders. This is a configuration that only the military has.

"We are not just a caravan." Sun Feng explained, "The exchanges between the East and the West are much more frequent than imagined. Sometimes we also serve as an envoy representing Zhendan, so the number of guards is half that of ordinary caravans..."

"and……"

"We also have two teams of ogre mercenaries..."

As they walked and talked, Liu Li also saw the legendary ogre mercenary.

"Basok! Hello! Friend!"

"Sorik! Greetings to you!"

The two largest ogres greeted Sun Feng loudly, their voices as loud as bells.

Sun Feng said: "They are the leaders of two ogre mercenaries, and they used to be bull warriors under Big Gold Fang."

"They speak Aurora dialect quite well." Liu Li couldn't help but praise them.

"Your Highness, you may not know..." Shangguan Yue said softly, "Because of the cooperation between Lord Binlong and Da Jinya, many ogres choose to come to Shangyang to be mercenaries... In order to find employers more easily, they will simply learn any language, and they learn it quickly."

“The price is not low, right?”

"Gold coins only account for a small part, the bulk of it is needed to provide them with food."

"They eat a lot?"

"It's not that many, but the taste requirements are quite unique."

Only then did Liu Li see it.

Among the ogre mercenaries, there was a group of human cooks gathered around several large pots and cooked something.

The smell of spices hits your nose, accompanied by a spicy and pungent smell.

Shangguan Yue explained: "They particularly like animal organs, and sometimes they bring the raw materials themselves and ask us to help process them."

After contacting Aurora.

Most ogres would get tired of simply roasting the food and would instead braise it with spices.

Although my appetite has not decreased, my eating habits have become much more refined.

"Because of Tamur Khan, the Long Fang Road was suspended for a while." Sun Feng said, "Now that the Long Fang Road has been reopened, I guess everyone is a little impatient. We need to rest for a few more days and wait for the supplies to arrive before we set off again."

"Oh, no problem!" Liu Li nodded.

Sun Feng continued, "If you are not used to living in the tent, Your Highness can also stay in Shangyang City temporarily. I will send someone to inform you if there is anything."

"It's okay..." Liu Li shook his head and refused.

night.

Although someone had to stay behind in the camp, everyone still agreed to go to the city for a drink to welcome Liu Li.

Shangguan Yue obviously didn't want Sun Feng to drink too much, but seeing that her husband was in high spirits, she let him do what he wanted.

"The battle was very fierce..." Liu Li described the situation while drinking.

Everyone showed eager expressions and wanted to know the details of the Battle of Chilei.

Liu Li's story was so thrilling that everyone's hearts were in their throats.

But at its best.

Snapped--

The piercing sound of a wine bottle breaking was suddenly heard, followed by a low roar like thunder.

"Despicable pointy ears! I'm going to chop you to death with my axe!"
