Nan Tong became furious when he heard this.
He turned around and looked at the approaching armed men.
"You are really going too far!"
"You just took fifty gold coins, and now you're asking for a hundred?"
"Who do you take us for? How dare you be so disobedient! Do such disgusting things!"
He clenched his fists. If he hadn't wanted to reveal his identity, he would have cast magic and turned these guys into dust immediately.
After hearing Nan Tong's words, the two cavalrymen quickly squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. They could tell that Nan Tong was really angry.
They may also be affected.
"I think you guys are in collusion and want to blackmail my master!"
"How daring!"
The armed men raised their weapons, forming a perfect encirclement, trapping Lin Ke and his group in the center.
The armed leader ignored Nan Tong's words and just maintained basic politeness.
"I'm sorry, my lords!"
"In Hebron, this is our rule, and you have to follow it!"
“Even if the Holy Pharaoh of Holy Egypt came, it would be the same.”
"Everyone is the same."
When Nan Tong heard the conversation mention "Holy Pharaoh", he was furious.
Just as he was about to explode, Lin Ke gently held his shoulders.
Although Nan Tong understood, his eyes were still wide open with anger.
How dare these lowly untouchables address the Holy Pharaoh by name!
Of course, the same is true for Ramses and the succubus. Although they have not spoken yet, the energy in their bodies has actually begun to surge.
Faced with the encirclement, Nan Tong just took a step forward and did not retreat at all.
"You ungrateful rats!"
He pointed at the nose of the armed leader and cursed.
"Hasn't the master's nephew's experience in prison been enough to settle the score?"
"It's fine if you don't repent, but you actually dare to act like a scoundrel here?"
When the armed leader heard this, he just stiffened his neck and retorted.
"What nephew or not! My Lord, I've already told you!"
"According to the rules of this city, anyone who enters the prison becomes the property of the city lord!"
"That child was clearly bought by that adult. It's not your place to tell him what to do!"
"You have now settled your account with that lord, but ours has not yet been settled!"
"One hundred gold coins and you can leave!"
"Otherwise, stay!"
Nan Tong sneered upon hearing this: "What a far-fetched argument! Does that mean I can also buy off incompetent rubbish like you?"
When the other armed man heard this, his face immediately turned red.
"You! You dare to insult the defenders! Your crime is even more serious!"
Nan Tong refused to give in and continued to speak.
"You are nothing but running dogs who take money from others to ward off disasters. What qualifications do you have to bark here?"
"You're just trying to take advantage of this opportunity to blackmail me, get out of here!"
“Get out of the way!”
The armed men were enraged and began to shout.
"What Chief Blacksmith? I think he's just a liar!"
"Exactly. How could a craftsman carry so many gold coins? That's so suspicious!"
"Maybe it's stolen goods!"
"Capture them and search them!"
Amid the noise of the crowd, the wealthy man leaned aside proudly, a sarcastic smile on his face.
He leisurely adjusted his sleeves, glancing at Lin Ke from time to time, wanting to see how this so-called "chief blacksmith" would deal with the current predicament.
On the side, two cavalrymen huddled together, their faces pale and their bodies trembling.
They didn't even dare to look up and almost buried their heads in the ground.
At the same time, the succubus moved silently to Lin Ke's side and whispered in Lin Ke's ear.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, are you going to take action here?"
"If we don't get rid of them, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave Hebron."
"Or, we can just rush through without using mana."
Lin Ke shook his head slightly, his expression still calm.
"No, we can't reveal our identities here."
"If the black robe is damaged, our identities will be exposed."
At this moment, Lin Ke looked up at the night sky and fell into silence.
To outsiders, he seemed to be just gazing into the distance.
But in fact, he was observing the information on the civilization panel.
The main force of the New Hebrew Empire has arrived outside the city of Hebron and they will arrive here soon.
Then, Lin Ke spoke softly.
"Just delay it for a while and don't conflict with them."
The succubus didn't quite understand, but nodded in obedience.
At this time, the armed men's arrogance was growing higher and higher.
They formed a circle, pressing forward step by step, with swords and guns drawn.
The leading armed man issued an ultimatum in a haughty manner.
"Listen up! I'm giving you one last chance!"
"Either stay in the city and complete your mission, or pay a ransom and fine totaling one hundred gold coins!"
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a few bucks. In Hebron, we are the real masters!"
"That's right! Don't even think about leaving if you don't pay!"
"Resistance will only make the situation worse!"
"Hand over the money and we'll let you go!"
Just when the situation was tense, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the direction of the city gate.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a scout in light armor running towards them with panic written all over his face.
“Report! Report!”
He shouted breathlessly: "City! Outside the city!"
