Chapter 229 The bragging mercenary [two-in-one]

Zhong Ming wandered around for a while and vaguely saw a heavily guarded castle.

Zhong Ming reviewed the map in his mind. This should be the family castle of Rufus Zamora, Earl of Seawind County, the former County of Capote and now the Seawind County of Asshai Maritime Province.

Zhong Ming finally remembered that Rufus's two unlucky sons were still alive and dead. At any rate, they were supposed to supervise the construction of the ship and disappeared according to his arrangement. It seemed that he didn't go to visit when he passed by.

Not appropriate either...

I have to give an explanation to my younger brothers... The greatest virtue of a vassal is to give his vassals a sufficient sense of security, which means they are full of martial virtue.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ming fell towards the castle on the mountainside.

The castles in the world of Zoya are generally divided into two categories: pure military castles and urban core castles.

The buildings of pure military castles are usually located in high mountains and hilly areas that are easy to defend, and are often built on the top of the mountain or at the foot of the mountain.

In addition to the natural defense of mountains and rocks, mountain castles also have the advantage of vision, which makes it easy to discover the enemy's attack direction. Once the enemy begins to attack the city, the defenders can quickly detect it and attack with rocks and bows and arrows within the city walls.

As for the core castle of a city, it is usually a castle located in a plain area, which naturally attracts the people to settle nearby and eventually develops a city.

Although the defensive power of this kind of castle is generally not as good as that of a purely military castle, its material reserves and other aspects are usually much stronger than that of a purely military castle. It also has an extra layer of peripheral city wall defense, and its layout is similar to a scaled-down version of the ancient capital of the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom.

Of course, water source is also a key factor in selecting the location of the castle. The current Zamora family castle in front of Zhong Ming is built on the mountainside.

Because of the raging mermaid clan, the Zamora family "strategically moved" to this purely military castle. The previous castles in big cities were more comfortable, but the life-saving factor was not as high as here...

Zhong Ming stood on a sandy ground not far from the castle, straightened his sleeves, and walked towards the castle while admiring the beautiful scenery.

"Haha~" A huge creature that looked like an earthworm but had scales and sharp horns all over its body sprang out, opened its mouth like a chrysanthemum, and suddenly swallowed Zhong Ming.

"Sand dragon earthworm?" Zhong Ming opened his true eyes, glanced at the beast in surprise, jumped away, and said,

"Isn't there something wrong? Aren't you supposed to be hanging out in the desert?

Although the beach at the seaside is also sand, is there any theory of migration of earthworms?"

Sand dragon earthworm... As the name suggests, the descendant of a giant dragon and an earthworm-shaped monster, a silver species, an adult monster, level five (mid-second level) strength, strong physical regeneration, good at digging holes, fertilizing fields, and has soil talent spells

inheritance.

Don't ask how the giant dragon got together with the earthworm monster. Zhong Ming also wants to know why the dragon's aesthetics and adaptability are so powerful!

Zhong Ming combined the information in his mind and the feedback from the Eye of True Seeing, and was extremely surprised by this earthworm that bravely attacked him.

Such a monster can do a lot of work in a day, right?

The long-term exploration of restraining the aura seems to be quite effective. How could such a brave beast come to my door before?

"You're excited, aren't you? Climb for me!"

Zhong Ming waved his hand casually, and a golden sword...

After a while, the sand dragon earthworm, which could not run away or be beaten, was covered with scars and khaki body fluids flowing. It lay there helplessly, with a look of "kill or behead, it's up to you"

appearance.

After being forced to sign a master-servant contract with it, Zhong Ming, who wanted to carry a temporary mount and a permanent farm worker, moved towards the castle again.

…

"Oh, my dear lord, why are you looking so sad? Come on, be happy. I promise you that I will keep you safe."

"That's right, my boss, Besov, is a warrior who kills sea monsters. Monsters, mermaids, all..."

"If you ask me, what nonsense Yaxia? The new master you defected to is not very good. I heard that you were defeated by the mermaids. Why don't you ask me to rely on our boss to protect you?"

"Count Zamora, I heard that Princess Lavinia is as beautiful as a fairy. Why don't you call her out and show it to everyone, and let us see who we are trying to protect?"

"Yes, ask the princess to come out and have a look! Come out and have a look!"*N

Rufes Zamora gritted his teeth and looked at this group of mercenaries, and then at the blond mercenary leader who was obviously indulging his subordinates in their mischief. He couldn't help but feel resentful towards Zhong Ming and Yaxia, and he also complained about himself.

The Fengshen Church, which was thrown out like a piece of grass, was also filled with resentment.

"Bethov, is this how you restrain your subordinates? Do you want to provoke the nobles?" Rufis questioned.

Besov straightened his headband and said nonchalantly:

"Hey, Lord Count, don't be angry, don't be angry.

Are my subordinates just joking? Why are they so serious?

Besides, it’s not like Princess Lavinia is shameful, so why can’t she come out to meet our brothers?

In addition, you have to rely on our brothers to find your two precious sons!

Do you still expect Yaxia, who was beaten by the mermaid to the point where he can't find Bei? Do you expect your hairy boy who doesn't even have a full beard to become the king?"

Besoff was not at all panicked:

This period of chaos is a seller's market. It is Rufus who seeks from himself, but not himself who seeks from him.

Even if he offends this great nobleman, the worst he can do is just pat his butt and leave. Where can a mercenary hang out without being a fool?

With his ability as an earth knight and the more than 800 brothers who have cultivated fighting spirit, he is not a vegetarian.

Strangely enough, after that "Mainland Kneeling", fighting spirit cultivation seemed to have become a lot easier. He has recently broken through to the Earth Knight.

With such strength, where can I not pretend to be a noble?

"I seem to have heard someone mention me?" Zhong Ming's voice suddenly came from outside the hall, "Secretly criticizing a monarch behind his back, you are very brave!"

The next moment, Zhong Ming's figure appeared in the center of the hall: "I'm very happy that you can compliment me on my youth. But I don't like the tone of your words just now."

"Slap your mouth and get out of here!"

"Who are you?" Bessov looked at Zhong Ming who suddenly appeared as if he was facing an enemy.

Zhong Ming looked down at Besov: "Didn't I say it again? I am the Yaxia monarch you call too young! What, is it that my ears are not working well or that my IQ is not good enough?"

A mercenary with a red face after drinking stood up: "Don't be too arrogant, who are you? What can my boss say to you..."

A golden light flashed across, and before anyone could react, an arm flew into the sky, leaving behind a drunkard rolling on the ground.

"Want to give it a try? Maybe you have a chance to achieve the 'Kingslayer' achievement?" Zhong Ming casually crossed his arms and looked at the mercenaries who were rising with their swords drawn.

Rufis also recovered from his surprise. Although he could not go to Chang'an City in person to receive the title due to physical reasons, he still saw Zhong Ming's portrait.

"Sorry, Duke Ming, I didn't know you would come..." Rufis tried to smooth things over.

Zhong Ming waved his hand and said:

"Sir Rufus, I told you that your two sons disappeared while supervising the construction of my ship. I am deeply sorry.

I heard that the Maritime Province was attacked by the merfolk.

As a lord, I am worried about the safety of the loyal Zamora family.

So I came here uninvited to see Sir Rufus.

I broke into private territory and lost etiquette. You don't need to apologize. It's me who needs to apologize.

Well, by the way, I would like to inform you that all the mermaid invaders have been wiped out, and you can return to the city."

"What?"*N

There was a lot of discussion in the hall for a moment.

Zhong Ming said calmly:

"Well, that's right. A few days ago, Yaxia just faked defeat to attract the mermaids to go deep into the land, so that they could wipe out these aliens.

Last night, the First Army of Asshai, led by General John Tucker, attacked the Mermaid River at night, annihilating 400,000 enemies and capturing nearly 100,000 people.

I think it won’t take long for the news to spread.”

Besov felt a burning pain on his face. Just now, he was mocking Yaxia for his lack of force. He was beaten back by the mermaid tribe. Then he heard the news that the mermaid tribe was completely wiped out...

Count Rufus also seemed to have received a reassurance, and a rosy color flashed across his gray face.

Zhong Ming looked at these drunken mercenaries: "I hate it when people point their weapons at me. I'll give you another chance, put down your weapons, and mouth each of you twenty times before you get out!"

A strong sense of oppression spread from Zhong Ming as the starting point, and the mercenaries felt as if there was a terrifying giant dragon swallowing the sky and the earth standing in front of them...

"Pa~papa~" Besov took the lead in putting away his weapon and shooting his bow left and right in front of his face.

The other mercenaries saw that their boss gave in and had no choice but to do the same.

Looking at the mercenaries turning away, Rufis hesitated to speak.

Zhong Ming glanced at his expression:

"Sir, the Zamora family seems to have encountered some difficulties?

If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate."

Rufus, who looked sick, hesitated.

Suddenly, a pretty princess burst in from the back door of the hall: "Father, you are embarrassed to say it, just let me do it!"
