Chapter 57: Desert City Situation
After entering Mocheng, even though someone died, there was no garrison in the city or relatives and friends of the deceased came to cause trouble until Yun Tianxiu and others bought a different courtyard and settled it.
There were no troops in the Desert City at this time, because the Snake Humans have not known what they have been going crazy recently. Except for a few humans with pass-through orders, humans are almost completely prohibited from entering the Tagor Desert.
Especially the mercenaries, explorers and practitioners of the human race, whenever they find out, they will be clear immediately. If they do not listen to advice, they will be clear on the spot.
The snake humans have already been fully martial law in the Tagor Desert, as if they are guarding against something or protecting something.
The Lord of Mocheng was also a life-loving person. After discovering the strangeness of the Snake Human race, he was sure that what was going to happen. He immediately returned to his country, the Izumo Empire, with his beautiful wife and concubines and his treasures. The journey back to his country was long, so for safety reasons, he naturally wanted to take all the troops to act together.
As for Mocheng's rule, he didn't care about it. Mocheng was a mercenary city after all, with many extramarital madmen gathered in it.
Moreover, dozens of mercenaries of all sizes gathered in it. Although he was the city lord, his duty was not to govern Mocheng. Instead, he collected taxes earned from these mercenaries.
Mocheng is on the edge of the Tagor Desert, with a dangerous environment, a scarce food, insufficient water source, and there is also a snake human race outside the city that is hostile to humans. If it weren't for the practitioners, the residents of Mocheng would never be able to survive in such a dangerous environment.
But the reality is that there are nearly 5,000 people living in Mocheng. Moreover, there are not many children among them, most of them are large numbers of young and strong laborers.
Mercenaries alone account for half of the total number, and the remaining group consists of merchants, slaves and social service talents who are moved by high interests.
The main reason why the Desert City attracted these people to station is that the value of the monsters in the Tagor Desert is higher than that in other regions such as the Warcraft Mountains, and the main reason is that the rare things are precious.
And because of this, mercenaries can ensure their living needs by hunting low-level monsters. Although the conditions are a little harder, they greatly increase their chances of survival in this world where the strong prey on the weak.
It is precisely because of this that Mocheng has attracted so many residents.
Theoretically, Mocheng's geographical location does not belong to the territory of any country, but the wealth it brings here is hard to resist.
The nearest Izumo Empire takes it for itself, but it is more of a compromise relationship with the mercenaries.
As a mercenary, I naturally don’t want to be bound by the law, and the Izumo Empire doesn’t want to send strong people to station here.
The final relationship was that the residents here paid taxes to the Izumo Empire. The Izumo Empire came to deal with the monsters hunted by the mercenaries and the treasures found in heaven and earth, and converted them into money, and provided necessary resources such as water and food to the Mocheng.
Therefore, the garrison in Mocheng is just the role of the city lord to protect himself. The city lord himself is also a nobleman in the Izumo Empire who has no outstanding abilities, so he sent him to collect taxes.
Therefore, no matter whether the lord of Mocheng City is still here, even if a murder occurs, it will not be their own jurisdiction.
But what happened today finally caused a little wave.
At the gate of the city today, the people killed by Xiaoyixian are three mercenary groups, respectively. The strongest force is the Sand Mercenary Group.
But they did not take action blindly. Because this group of people were either rich or noble in their clothes. Especially the three beautiful women who looked like fairies on earth, they all respected the man in the mask headed by the man.
This shows how huge the man was behind him. Although there was only one mysterious woman today, he undoubtedly had reached the realm of a fighting master. The woman looked extremely young. Although for practitioners, her appearance could not be guessed. Some pills can change a person's appearance and even make people live long-lasting youth.
However, although the raw materials for those elixirs are not cherished, they are essential things for almost every woman or even men. Even if they spend a lot of money, they have to buy some. Therefore, alchemists have controlled the price of such elixirs very high and gained huge benefits.
The woman, whether she was young or rich, maintained that appearance with the level of a fighting master, undoubtedly proved that the power behind the woman was extremely powerful.

It's night
Sand Mercenary Group Camp
"Captain, Ah Lang and the others were killed at the city gate today." Looking at the commander who came back from hunting today, Mo Xing happily came to him. Although he was also a strong fighter, he was not enough to see in front of the leader Rob's great fighter realm.
The reason why he was so flattering at this time was because he was present today watching them being killed. When Mo Xing thought of that scene, he felt a chill behind him.
It was too fast, it was too fast. He only saw the woman raise her hand, and he didn't see clearly what the other party did. Ah Lang and the others died on the spot. He had a premonition that even if it were him, he would definitely die directly.
Regarding the cause of Alang and the others' death, he later sent someone to collect the autopsy and found that it was caused by poisoning. This not only failed to relieve Mo Xing, but also became even more frightened.
With that superb poisoning method, Mo Xing guessed that the man was most likely a poisoner!
The drug gurus has always been the most taboo on the Douqi Continent, and no one wants to provoke a drug gurus. Therefore, whenever a drug gurus appears, countless forces respond every time, and take the initiative to encircle and suppress the drug gurus. Almost every time, dozens of people are sent to dare to deal with a drug gurus who is alone.
At this time, Robu couldn't help frowning when he heard what Mo Xing said. Although the Sand Mercenary Group at this time was not considered the overlord of Mo City. But with him, Robu was there, the Sand Mercenary Group was qualified to be called the first mercenary group in Mo City.
Theoretically, no force would be unable to think about its position at the gate of the city and fight with them.
So Rob frowned and said:
"Which force was used by?"
"I've found out. Those people just came today, and those people seem to be disciples of Yunlan Sect, the first sect in the empire." Mo Xing hurriedly reported to him what he had found out today.
There are also many people in Mocheng who have increased their investment in the empire, and they naturally recognize Yunlan Sect’s patriarchal service.
"Increase the empire? Yunlan Sect? What are they doing here? Why should we take action? Lang and the others."
"I heard that it seems that I came here to recruit disciples. As for Alang and the others, it was because the Yunlan Sect disciples who came from the other party this time had three beautiful women. So Alang and the others offended them..."
