Chapter 35 Challenge the Shabak City Lord
Walk along the northern road from the Viper Valley and you can reach Mengzhong in about half a day. Like Viper Valley, Mengzhong is also a place with only two seasons: Viper Valley is divided into early summer and midsummer, while Mengzhong only has dry season and rainy season.
Due to precipitation and temperature instability, the water and soil west of the central part of the Communist Party cannot be maintained, and it is often a scene of loess everywhere. People can only quickly plant a variety of plants when the rainy season comes and reserve some food to cope with the dry season. Once the dry season enters, they need to find aquatic plants to maintain it with animal husbandry.
Fortunately, the entire Mercedes-Mainland is vast and sparsely populated. In addition to the largest gathering place and Tucheng, large areas of Mercedes-Mainland are shared lands for people. Even with such a semi-herd and semi-cultivated life, the entire Mercedes-Mainland people still have a lot of living supplies.
However, the eastern part of the Union Mainland Reign has not been very peaceful. For thousands of years, the northernmost part of the Union Mainland Reign has been places where criminals are exiled. All kinds of people who committed serious crimes are driven there and fend for themselves. The resources are scarce, which makes the people in this place lawless and poses a long threat to other areas.
Further east is an evergreen forest. This place is the best place in the Mongjue environment, but no one dares to step in easily because before humans migrate to Mongjue, there was an ancient temple here. There are many dangers here, and there are often rumors that monsters with beast heads and human bodies will catch people everywhere for food, which is a huge threat to the entire Mongjue human.
Continuing to move eastward is the limit of human exploration. According to various rumors and the dangers it has indeed brought, there are even more ghosts and crises there. For thousands of years, the alliance has been in many cases, and humans have been attacked by exiled villages and Zuma Temples, and have never been peaceful.
For these reasons, on the way to Mongzhong to the Zuma Temple in the Viper Valley and the Exile Village, several major families in Mongzhong jointly built a defensive city: Shabak.
This is a city with complete protective measures, tall and solid walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although it is not as huge and magnificent as the Beech City back then, it is still the core barrier for human beings here and the strongest line of defense for the Alliance-Harvested mankind.
Since it was jointly built, the original Shabak City was managed by three major families in turn. Later, the problem arose, and the management of the defense line had to be spent on money. No one was willing to spend too much of his own resources to strengthen other families. Therefore, the Shabak management later became worse and worse and was almost unable to support it.
In order to maintain this defensive city, several major families raised funds to hire neutral people to help manage it, supervised by specialized figures. In short, Shabak was a hot potato in the early days.
Many years later, as human beings' life in the Alliance became better and better, human beings' power became stronger and stronger.
Even if this Shabak City does not have the support of the Tucheng City's powerful people, relying solely on its own geographical location, the management of the Union and some other nomads in the Exiled Village and the Venomous Snake Valley can be rich. This has led to the management rights of Shabak City becoming more popular and snatched away from many aspects.
In recent years, the threat of monsters in the east has become increasingly serious, and there are frequent injuries. However, Shabak's rule is still endless. When it is the turn of the powerful, they try their best to make money and make profits, while those who cannot get it will be digging holes, making Shabak's defense power become useless. Once the monsters really attack, the barrier that humans have painstakingly created will be useless.
Seven or eight years ago, the pioneering team from Beach came here. They seriously realized the crisis here and used their skills to seek Shabak's dominance. At the same time, they handled the relationship with several powerful people in the Alliance, becoming the most stable rule of Shabak in recent years, and rebuilt the here in a few years.
The current city lord was the leader of the second group of pioneers at that time: Li Tingao.
He Ming got a very good answer. He walked along the northward route and turned left at the first fork, and soon he could see Shabak City, where humans could enter and exit freely, trade or consumption, and were protected.
It was enough to get this result. After thanking the two guards, He Ming, he walked directly towards Shabak City. He walked quickly. The wind on the way had already brought his body temperature back to normal, but the crazy thoughts in his mind did not fade away at all. Instead, he was calculating countless possibilities to prepare for how to implement them.
When we arrived at Shabak City, the atmosphere here was completely different from the places He Ming had been to before. Although Beach was strictly guarded, there were no such posts at the door like Shabak. There were beacon towers within every kilometer, and there were people on duty at each beacon tower. Everyone was facing a great enemy, as if there would be terrible enemies at any time.
He Ming entered the city with some surprise. Obviously, those who entered and left Shabak City would not be investigated. So what are these people guarding against?
However, at this time, his mind was full of madness. He didn't even have time to take a closer look at the scene of Shabak. He didn't think much about it. After entering the city, he found a hotel and sat down. He Ming had not brought any money since he left Beichi, and Biqi's currency was different from the one here.
He Ming was just looking for trouble in his heart, and didn't take anything else seriously. He just sat there and asked the people around him about the name of the city lord and what it looked like. It was a coincidence that someone around him happened to say: "At this time, the city lord will come out to patrol. After all, Shabak City is the front line on the east side of the defense. Look, the city lord is just coming out!"
Following the man, he looked over and saw a tall, full of spirits, with fierce eyes, wearing green armor, cloak, holding a black scepter, and walking majestic towards this side.
He Ming rubbed up and pulled out the Ningshuang handed over to the person who gave him, and ran quickly towards the person who came, which scared the people next to him.
The city lord was a little surprised to see He Ming coming over with his sword, and couldn't help but ask, "Who is coming?" But soon he recognized what He Ming was holding. Suddenly, he lowered his voice and said, "How did you get this sword? What are you doing here?"
He Ming's tone was plain, as if he was chatting: "I want to duel with you."
The city lord was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Is something happening there? Should you wake up and drink and talk?"
He Ming said again: "I, He Ming, have proposed a duel to the Lord Shabak again. The Lord will not dare to accept it because of his noble status!"
