Chapter 71 70. News of the Battle of the Kempato River
The hot and humid wind blows from the street market, without bringing a trace of cool air.
The clothes soaked in sweat were stained on the body, and there was a pungent sweaty smell everywhere.
The hot sun made people's faces red, and the stall owners squatted under the sun, enjoying the joy of sweating and sunbathing.
In order to express his gratitude to Larkin, Suldak invited him to sit in a tavern in the market.
Lakin had a cordial smile on his face, and a faint complacency on his greasy face, and he talked with Suldak in a low voice all the way.
He is a shrewd businessman, and he usually has to carefully calculate every transaction in business, but this time he didn't mention how much commission he would need to sell the head of the evil spirit, as if he had done a trivial thing.
He Boqiang originally thought that wearing such a thick heavy leather armor might be hot.
If you go shopping in the market, you are afraid that you will be completely overwhelmed by the scorching heat. It is a trivial matter to sweat all over, and you may suffer from heat stroke if you fail to do so.
But he didn't expect that when he put on this set of monster leather armor, there was a trace of refreshing coolness from the swamp giant crocodile's pants leather armor, which instantly eliminated more than half of the heat on He Boqiang's body, and he didn't feel the heat.
He thought about the high price of this set of leather armor, so he wasn't so surprised.
For such an expensive set of Warcraft leather armor, if it doesn't have some unique features, it really can't be justified.
…
Even if it is not night, there are still many drinkers gathered in the open-air tavern.
People panning for gold here usually have few entertainment activities, and the taverns on the street market have become one of the few places to kill time. Many people like to come here for a drink in their free time, and they only need to take out ten copper coins. You can drink a glass of mellow barley wine.
He Boqiang ran to the front of the bar to buy three glasses of ale full of foam, saw Suldak and Larkin occupying an empty table in the corner, and squeezed over with the ale.
The soldiers of the fifty-seventh regiment who were drinking in the open-air tavern greeted Suldak one after another.
Everyone has heard about this newly promoted captain of the fourth team.
The story that Suldak led the second team to eradicate a door of evil spirits in Ganda Er Mountain spread throughout the Fifty-seventh Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment.
Lakin took out a few ice cubes from the wooden barrel and threw them into the wine glass. He couldn't wait to take a big sip, and said to Suldak:
"When I came to the Warsaw plane with the 57th Regiment, you were still a youthful young man. At that time, I never thought that you would also be promoted to the team leader."
Suldak also showed nostalgia, his blue eyes full of memories:
"Yeah, the hard days when I first got here were really hard, thanks to your help."
Probably every recruit will have a period of adaptation when he comes to the barracks. The friendship between Suldak and Larkin was originally established during that time.
Larkin smiled triumphantly, "Haha, why are you talking about this! We are from the same hometown, so of course we have to take care of each other when we go out."
He Boqiang doesn't like this kind of slightly sour ale. Whenever he drinks it, he will think of the taste of Niulanshan and fried peanuts, but he can only sigh softly.
At this time, the voice of the conversation at the next table clearly fell into He Boqiang's ears and caught his attention.
"...I heard that there will be big moves in the Kempato River area recently?" said the drinker with his back to He Boqiang.
For some reason, in such a noisy environment, the voices of those two talking were very clear.
Another person said: "The Bena Legion is mainly stationed in Handanal County, and the Kempato River is assembled by the most elite Royal Constructed Knights of the Green Empire. If the supply line of the Kempato River is not Get through, and Duke Busman's Alex City will be left alone and helpless."
The drinker with his back to He Boqiang said in a low voice: "Do you think the Prince of Wales will be able to succeed this time?"
The other person said: "In order to win the battle of the Kampato River, the decisive battle in Handanall County may have to be delayed for a while. The army deployed by Duke Newman at the junction of Handanall County and Kampato County , have all moved to the north bank of the Kampato River."
The drinker with his back to He Boqiang took a deep breath, and then said:
"It doesn't matter if you drag it on. In the past, there were priests in the temple and auxiliary corps of battle priests in the war of planes. The number of casualties can be controlled. Now the temple has suddenly become a shrinking turtle. These big men probably arrived I haven't figured out the current situation yet, too many people have died, and the recent news is all bad news."
The other person said: "How about Duke Busman?"
"The old fox shirked his corps and was distributed in various war zones on the Warsaw plane, unable to gather in a short time..."
He Boqiang didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's private chats, so he raised his head and focused on Suldak and Lakin.
The waiter in the tavern brought a plate of dried meat, which is the most common appetizer in an open-air tavern, and it tastes a bit salty.
Suldak asked Larkin: "It's been so long, when are you going back?"
The wine glass in Larkin's hand was almost empty, and He Boqiang went to the bar to buy two more glasses.
"...Once our merchant groups that accompanied the army withdrew, what would we do with so many troops here? Duke Newman doesn't have his own logistics supply line at all, and we merchants will probably stick around for a while." Larkin said, "It's you Don't stay here after completing your military service, and return to Roland Continent as soon as possible."
Suldak smiled and said, "Of course I won't stay here, and this time Xiaodak will go back with me, by the way, can you get a teleportation pass?"
Lajin didn't expect that Suldak wanted to buy a teleportation pass. He couldn't help but glanced at He Boqiang and asked:
"For Little Duck?"
Suldak nodded.
Larkin frowned and said: "That thing is not expensive, prepare gold coins, I'll give it a try!"
Suldak recently made a small fortune with the second team hunting timfish, so he didn't care much about the money. He said to Larkin, "Don't worry about it...I will find a way to make it up."
After taking a sip of wine, Larkin said to Suldak again:
"By the way, there is a new magical grocery store opened on this street. If you have time, you may wish to visit it and try to buy some emergency supplies. The battle of Moyunling this time cannot be as easy as the previous battles. Do more Only by being prepared can we be prepared.”
Suldak's eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully:
"Okay, I'll go take a look with Little Duck sometime!"
…
A new magical grocery store opened in the temporary market. When you walk into the tent, you will see a row of crystal **** on wooden stands, and a few magic wands hanging on the crossbar above your head. Open the curtain of the tent and walk in. Those few A fir wand began to swing like a wind chime, but there was no sound.
The sound insulation effect of the tent is very good. Standing inside, He Boqiang and Suerdak could hardly understand the noise outside.
The space inside the tent is very small, two people squeezed inside, even turning around carefully, for fear of damaging something valuable.
There are bundles of magic scrolls on the shelves on both sides, as well as magic inks of various colors, bundles of magic lines, a thick stack of magic parchment, and so on.
A wooden board was hung on the most eye-catching place of the shelves in the tent, with the words 'buy magic herbs at a high price' written in charcoal on it.
