Outside Silver Pine City.

Some refugees gathered together in a simple tent.

From the clothes these people wore, it could be seen that they were definitely not ordinary people.

As the saying goes, capable people are capable everywhere! Just like now, these former merchants, knights, and even nobles have become the leaders of these refugees, although they don't want this position at all.

"Everyone, what should we do next..."

A middle-aged man with a chubby figure and a haggard face spoke.

He was originally a businessman with some assets, but because of the war, he had no time to prepare and was separated from his men. Now he has become a commander without troops.

The soldiers retreated silently and left the place to the orcs.

Everyone didn't know what to say, as they knew very well how powerful the knight in front of them was.

“So strong!”

Suddenly everyone became trembling with fear.

"Maybe we can believe it, or maybe be like those people, but... we have no choice, right?"

The female noble and the people around her asked curiously.

Just when the refugees thought the soldiers had no time to deal with them, they were about to be free.

They even felt lucky that they were unlucky and didn't get a good seat, otherwise they might have been the ones to die.

Then it stabbed with incredible precision into the refugees who had run far away.

Delia waved her hands in disgust, but ultimately she didn't dodge.

He was a knight recruited by the noblewoman. When their territory was breached, he swore to defend the noblewoman and made her leave. Otherwise, the noblewoman would have died long ago. He won the noblewoman's heart, but he was also trapped here. It was hard to say whether it was a loss or a gain.

Everyone was scared out of their wits.

The soldiers saw that these people had good physical fitness and prepared to assign them to the team repairing the city wall.

There were five people in the car, including the driver.

The soldiers were shocked. They didn't expect that someone would dare to cause trouble right under their noses!

No one cared about the cost; they had nothing left and it was good enough to be alive.

"well……"

But you feel inferior to such a powerful knight?

Zhang Feng's sympathy broke out again.

Seeing these people being so attentive, how could Zhang Feng not know what their intention was? They just wanted to increase their favorability with him.

"However, if we come to the Far North, will it cause him trouble..."

This visual effect is much more shocking than that of a bow and arrow.

"Thank you, Delia. If it weren't for you, we might have already..."

To be honest, she is the most unlucky one. She hasn't even brought out her tens of millions of gold coins yet! I hope no one will find her...

"I, I'll help you cut the pastries!"

Everyone was covered in dust, but their faces were vaguely recognizable. The driver was Knight Abe, and the remaining three were Queen Isabel, Princess Anne, Princess Anna, and Delia, the mayor of More City.

"Master Zhang Feng, you must be tired. Let me massage your shoulders!"

"My Lord~"

Looking at the girls who had dressed up carefully, Zhang Feng felt a slight headache.

But what made them feel lucky was that the mayor of Silver Pine City was not too unkind. Although he would not let them move forward, he would give them some black bread to eat.

Some refugees thought that Silver Pine City let them in and were excitedly preparing to rush forward, but several arrows flew at their feet, making the refugees dare not act rashly.

But Anne, who had experienced so much, had become much more sensible, and she tried hard not to cry.

"yes."

Zhang Feng is both handsome and capable, and is obviously a strong man in their minds.

Even the "leaders" of the refugees were excited. After waiting for so long, they finally got their hope! "In that case, please come in order. Everyone should line up consciously and then come to register. If anyone is found to be undisciplined, deliberately making trouble or even forcing their way through the checkpoint, they will be killed!"

Irene didn't dare to ask the reason, but she could vaguely guess it.

"Yes, Lord Marquis, please let us in!"

"Please send some soldiers to guard outside the city and set up secret sentries. If the rebels attack, they should come back and report immediately!"

If I leave now, I will probably starve to death. It is better to stay here. Every day I live means another day of chance.

Delia interrupted the two unhappily.

…

For example, now, after killing several people who wanted to take advantage of the situation in this bloody way, the refugees instantly became quiet.

A wrecked black steam train was staggering towards the north.

The girls were delighted and quickly put away the carefully prepared food.

"How about we go somewhere else?"

“…”

Slaves are obedient, but these refugees are not obedient at all. It is too troublesome to manage them! Especially now, the gold coins in his hand are not useful. He was always on guard against someone robbing his few gold coins. He did have some when he fled, but now he has none, because gold coins cannot keep refugees alive, but food can.

Even at such a long distance, he was shot to pieces by a giant spear. What kind of strength does this require? He must be the top knight!

What powerful people could there be in such a remote place? If he showed his strength, he would definitely be treated as a distinguished guest! But he didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face right away.

The south has been occupied by the rebels, the west is the uninhabited area of ​​the Fire Wing Mountains, and the east is the sea.

Wow, this is the strength of orcs!

"Okay, what's past is past!"

As a knight, he has his own pride. Although he is in trouble now, he still looks down on the knights from small places.

…

Zhang Feng naturally didn't know about this little episode.

Zhang Feng suddenly asked.

…

"...Yes, no one wants it even if it's given away for free..."

Mapel also said quickly.

For example, the female noble, who had never eaten black bread, felt for the first time that black bread was such a delicacy.

Everyone sighed again.

Those people who had their own plans in mind looked at each other and then remained silent.

"Yes, yes, yes, we must obey the law!"

Seeing some creatures with ferocious faces, exaggerated bodies, and holding maces, machetes, and even sickles in their hands walking towards them, the refugees were instantly scared to death!

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Feng was instantly surrounded by a group of beautiful girls.

The status of any one of these people is unimaginable to most people. They are all the top figures in the Buck Kingdom, but now, they are fleeing to the north like lost dogs!

The queen smiled and comforted everyone, but the sadness in her eyes could not escape Anne's eyes.

Zhang Feng then realized that they were holding a plate in their hands. However, when he saw those greasy little round cakes, he really had no appetite at all.

Knock, knock, knock~ "Come in."

The queen sounded a little sad.

Everyone became quiet.

Anne finally said with some reluctance.

Irene spoke up.

Anne asked with tears in her eyes as she held the Queen's hand tightly in both of hers.

Even Anne, who has a simple personality, dared not make any promises. She has seen too much betrayal during this period of time.

Give it to your subordinate later, he won’t eat it anyway.

This made the refugees smile. It seems that the city lord is a good person!

These people were like paper, torn apart in an instant by the giant spear! "!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

"Master Zhang Feng, we found another group of refugees coming from the south, perhaps around 300 people. We..."

"What happened? Did they fight again? It's already this late! These people deserve not to make any money..."

Swish! As if they had planned it out beforehand, these people suddenly rushed into the city, pushing down many refugees along the way, causing a panic among the people.

After explaining some more things, Irene went downstairs.

The refugees outside who had not yet entered the city were also somewhat excited, and many of them were even ready to move.

"Sir, we have prepared some snacks, please try them."

Her words were also the reason why no one left.

Zhang Feng spoke helplessly.

But what is strange is that after these soldiers were in a panic for a while, they looked at the refugees rushing in, and no one chased them, and they still guarded the city gate.

Princess Anna next to him suddenly asked, "What do you think? Is Zhang Feng worthy of our trust?"

Before the knight finished speaking, someone immediately shouted: "We will absolutely abide by the law. We will do whatever we are told to do. All we ask is for is a bite to eat!"

It's as if the refugees were allowed to escape.

These people immediately refused to work. They came here to seek asylum, not to work!

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

"yes!"

The merchants and nobles who had not yet entered the city were immediately furious.

Delia was harsh in her words.

"Master Zhang Feng, let me massage your legs..."

Casey whispered.

"Our Lord Marquis deeply sympathizes with your experience. He is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see you wandering in the wilderness, so he decided that as long as you abide by the laws of our Silver Pine City and are willing to pay a part of the price, he will grant you asylum!"

"Who would want you when you're so old? I wouldn't even want you if you gave it to me for free!"

"Not bad, let's arrange it this way for now."

There was some bitterness in the knight's words.

"Alas, who knew that Silver Pine City would never give in!"

If they angered the people of Silver Pine City and they were not allowed to enter, they would be in trouble for the rest of their lives!

"How about we try to force our way in..."

"Don't waste your energy. The city lord is very smart..."

Many people even wondered if they had done something wrong. Why did they feel like they had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den?

However, everyone has different personalities. Some people are willing to pay any price to be protected, while others do not just want to be protected...

A knight in tattered armor beside the noblewoman spoke.

Casey asked a little nervously.

He was also a lord and could understand the thoughts of the Lord of Silver Pine City. After all, there were too many refugees and no one dared to let them in rashly. But even though he understood, he still had to fight for it.

There is no doubt that this is some dark dish made with lard, offal or something like that.

Some younger people were even scared to tears.

The noblewoman shook the knight's hand.

Someone said dejectedly.

In order to avoid scaring these refugees, Zhang Feng did not plan to let the orcs show up before the refugees came in, but not showing up did not mean that they were useless.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

Zhang Feng was about to get up when someone knocked on the door.

The Queen turned and took Delia's hand.

"Silly child, what does this have to do with you? To be honest, it is me who has the unshirkable responsibility..."

When everyone saw the densely packed spears protruding from the city wall, they were terrified.

Just leave these trivial matters to your subordinates.

Zhang Feng said indifferently.

"Leave it here."

Alia suddenly felt a headache. She had finally brought them out of this sad atmosphere, why did it start again?

I have to say that it is absolutely perfect to let the orcs supervise these refugees. Originally, it would take a pair of soldiers to watch over a group of refugees, but for the orcs, one person is enough.

When everyone was silent, there was a sudden noise outside.

"How strong?"

Several ladies including Cathy, Mapel, and Lydia came in.

Zhang Feng wanted to refuse directly, but when he saw the timid expressions on the girls' faces, he couldn't bear it.

But their joy didn't last long, as the thing they feared happened.

According to the registration content, they were assigned to appropriate positions. Before they started working, everyone was given a large amount of black bread and dark beer.

Others who had other ideas also broke out in cold sweats.

But no one is a fool, they know that surveillance is more appropriate than protection.

The queen shrugged.

After all, we have finally seen the dawn of hope, and it cannot be destroyed.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Feng looked at the news handed over by Irene and said with satisfaction:

If there weren't so many soldiers around, they would have wanted to run away! "Don't be afraid, these orcs are our own people, they are here to protect you!"

They were not ignorant civilians. From the size of Silver Pine City and the soldiers on the city walls, they could infer that the city's military force was definitely very strong. If they really attacked Silver Pine City, they didn't know whether they could take it, but without any equipment and not much strength, they would definitely die miserably.

This Silver Pine City is not simple!

"Then I'll compensate you!"

“…”

"Hey, aren't you rubbing my shoulders? Where are your hands?"

"Mother, will Father really be alright..."

But Zhang Feng did nothing.

The goal had been achieved and they were about to leave, but seeing that Zhang Feng was so easy to talk to today, the girls looked at each other and finally bit their lips, as if they had made up their minds.

A group of people hurried out, but found that it was not a fight between refugees, but someone from Silver Pine City seemed to be coming out! There was a moat outside the south gate of Silver Pine City. After a rumbling sound, the huge drawbridge was lowered.

Zhang Feng originally had more gentle methods, but now he didn't know how the war in the south was going, so he didn't want to worry too much, so he directly adopted a rough policy.

"Wow~~"

Whoosh~ Suddenly, a sound of something cutting through the air was heard, and then everyone was shocked to see that on the city wall, several giant spears as thick as babies' arms suddenly flew out.

This was a plump woman. Judging from her attire, she was obviously a noble. However, her clothes were dirty and her face was a little sallow, and she did not look like she was living a good life.

"In order to save you, I didn't even have time to take the tens of millions of gold coins! Don't think this matter is so simple, you have to compensate me for my losses!"

Delia said somewhat unhappily.

Cathy looked at Zhang Feng pitifully.

A refugee who looked like a businessman complained bitterly.

"besides……"

"It's all my fault..."

"Master Zhang Feng, I hope I am not disturbing you?"

Several knights came out with a group of fully armed soldiers. There were not many people, but for these refugees, the gleaming swords still made everyone take several steps back.

"yes!"

"Let's go, let's go and have a look!"

Cathy hurriedly began to rub Zhang Feng's shoulders properly, but when she saw the encouraging looks from the others, she took a deep breath, then suddenly let out a cry and fell into Zhang Feng's arms.

The queen suddenly spoke with some sadness.

"Uh-huh!"

The queen's tone was a little depressed.

Someone stopped him.

On the city wall, the orcs looked at the corpses below the city with disdain.

Someone else spoke up.

"How about we go talk to the Lord of Silver Pine City? Otherwise, even if we can survive, when the rebels catch up with us, we will still die without the tall city walls..."

If he didn't think that the chances of survival would be greater if everyone huddled together for warmth, he really wouldn't want to be with these mixed refugees.

They were somewhat helpless. Their abilities were of almost no use in these refugee camps. If they died, it would be a huge loss.

"Just with this spear alone, I can't match three... no, five!"

If it was a small city, they might have done so, but Silver Pine City might not look prosperous or famous enough, but the military force of this city was definitely not weak.

"Okay, just a shoulder rub is enough. I won't eat any snacks or anything like that."

"Sir, I have deliberately arranged these people together. I don't know what work to assign them for the time being."

A soldier spoke sincerely.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Feng is helpless. These beautiful young ladies all have ulterior motives!

"W-What is that!?"

"Hmph~"

However, considering the long-term, such threats will definitely not work. They have to be willing to work. Zhang Feng still has a backup plan.

Just based on the tip of the iceberg that the other person had just shown, he knew that he was far inferior to him. And the most important thing was that there was not just one such person. Eight spears were thrown out in an instant, which meant that there were at least eight people of this level!

Everyone was shocked, including the soldiers at the city gate.

But the more this happened, the more they longed to be with Zhang Feng and serve him. It had nothing to do with love, it was purely their admiration for the strong.

"More? Then keep accepting them. I'm not afraid of too many people."

Zhang Feng spoke with a smile.

Although he successfully became one of the leaders through his own efforts and money, he was not complacent at all. He would rather have three or five slaves under him than these refugees.

The knight drew out his gleaming sword, and seeing the fear in the eyes of the civilians, he said with satisfaction: "Then you can come in now. Pay attention, line up, don't cut in line, otherwise - kill!"

"It's okay, he will be okay! We will all be okay too!"

“These idiots!”

There was chaos down there.

"No, absolutely not!"

"No need to make special exceptions, just let them do the hard labor! Let them work for a while first!"

Her words also made everyone feel helpless.

Zhang Feng was a little confused. He didn't understand how Casey, who was standing behind him, could fall into his arms. It was a bit of a show.

Many people even breathed a little faster, but after waiting for a long time, no one spoke up to agree.

"By the way, are there any nobles, knights, merchants, etc. among these people?"

When the three or four meter tall giant came over, the refugees didn't even dare to breathe and could only work obediently.

In order to obtain Zhang Feng's protection, they had to please Zhang Feng. No matter what Zhang Feng did to them, they would not resist.

After all, the earlier you go in, the less danger there is. No one knows when the rebels will attack. People are selfish.

Seven thousand refugees was a large number, and they were not all brought in until the next day.

Irene nodded respectfully.

The knight beside the noblewoman was shocked.

Even if Silver Pine City is full, he can let the Far North digest it.

Zhang Feng frowned, which immediately scared Cathy.

Lida tugged at the corner of her clothes and spoke.

Cathy looked at Zhang Feng with seductive eyes. Her clothes might have been not worn properly and had slipped down a little, revealing her delicate collarbone and snow-white shoulders.

They had no other way out except to head north.

It was finally my turn in the queue.

The knight didn't waste any words and spoke directly:

"You go and wait there. There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to get the protection of the Marquis, you must work hard. We will arrange a job for you. If you don't want to, you can go back."

In fact, these women are also very pitiful. Since Zhang Feng almost never comes to Yinsong City, they lack a sense of security. Now that they have the chance, they naturally cannot let it go.

Another person spoke up.

After registering the basic information, the soldier who registered said:

"No, there is only one big city here, Silver Pine City. The other places are too small. If they are attacked by the rebels, we will not be able to stop them. If we go to other big cities, we will have to go back to the south, and there is a great chance that we will run into the rebels..."

After defeating Yinsong City, these abandoned wives of the city lords became Zhang Feng's trophies and became his private property.

Despite everything she has been through, she is still the kind Princess Anne.

"Even if we don't come, do you think the Far North can remain immune? With Orlan's character, as long as he has the strength, he will never let go of any potential threats!"

Speaking of Orlan, everyone's heart sank.

They could never have imagined that the first knight of the kingdom, who was once the idol of countless people, would be so powerful... and so terrifying! Everyone fell silent again, and even Delia did not speak.

The battered steam train continued to move forward.
