Chapter 71: Tarakhan City
The wall of Tarakhan City is very high. Panda has not learned measurement and construction, so it is impossible to determine its actual height, but at least it can be roughly judged that it is much higher than the city wall of the castle.
The towering city wall is very wide, and the blue-gray wall is full of heavy feeling. Standing under the city wall, no matter how tall and burly, he suddenly became a small man. Even Panda himself, when he walked to the city gate and looked up, found that he was not even a third of the height of the city gate - and the distance between the city gate and the top of the city wall was at least twice as long.
(Why is the city wall in the fantasy world so majestic... For the little eggplants and the others, even if it is a city wall of hundreds of meters, they can easily fly over it.)
Panda complained in his heart, but he still stood in the queue to enter the city and waited patiently.
Fortunately, there were not many people entering and leaving the city gate in the afternoon, and he was lined up in a short while.
"What's the name? Where did it come from?" asked the guy who looked like the little head of the guard languidly.
"Panda, from the grassland. I'm a wandering martial artist." Panda replied.
The little boss looked at him carefully and frowned: "Take off the helmet!"
The panda took off the helmet, and the black and white bear face showed a simple and honest expression.
The little boss obviously had never seen a pandaren before, he looked at it carefully, and sighed: "It's better to wear it, I know why you want to wear it."
He looked at the panda with a little more sympathy: "You look so weird, no wonder you can't get along with the orcs. Don't worry, our human society will not discriminate against you because you are ugly... Anyway, to us Speaking of, whether it is a white bear or a black bear, it's almost the same horizontally and vertically."
There is really something wrong with this guy's thinking circuit. Panda was stunned by what he said and didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, this little boss is quite reasonable, and he didn't mean to make trouble or ridicule at all. He said a few words "don't cause trouble", "don't get excited because people say you are ugly, everyone has no bad intentions" and "remember when you stay in a hotel." I want to register" and so on, so I let him into the city, which surprised the panda who had planned to pay the city tax.
When he passed the city gate, he heard the guard behind him asking the little leader, "Captain, why don't you charge him the city tax?"
"Hey! You're still too young! I don't know the truth of 'if you don't make trouble, you'll be fine'. Are orcs easy to bully? If you look at his appearance, you can see that he is poor. Orcs also pay attention to beauty, and he is not black. The hair that is not white must not do well! Regardless of his size, I estimate that he has a few copper coins in total, so forget it, don't cause trouble for this." The captain sighed and said, "We all have He has a wife and children, and it's not worth fighting with an orc over the city tax."
Panda couldn't hear what happened next.
He smiled and walked along the road until he came to a military camp on the side of the road.
The construction layout of Tara Khan City is definitely from the hands of a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is neat and tidy, and the buildings are quite symmetrical. For example, on the left and right sides of this main road, there are two military camps. One is the infantry battalion, the other is the archer battalion.
As for the cavalry battalion, it was built outside the city for the convenience of mobility.
Panda came to the gate of the bow camp with bow and arrow flags and said to the guards guarding the gate: "I am a wandering martial artist, looking for a job. I heard that you have the mission of patrolling and exterminating bandits here, right?"
The guard squinted at him and shook his head: "We are a military camp here, and only those who sign up for the army are accepted. If you want to find work, you have to go further. There is an official residence on the left and right of the Earl's Palace, and the administrative residence on the left. , on the right is the military mansion. The city guard is in the military mansion, and you should go there to find work."
He said this sentence very skillfully, and it seemed that he didn't say much.
Panda thanked and walked quickly to the end of the road. On both sides of the towering Earl's Mansion, there were two official residences with different styles.
The administrative mansion on the left is dominated by blue. The guards at the gate wear light armor, the doors and windows are beautifully decorated, and people in and out are people in civilian clothes. The main color of the military mansion on the right is red. The gatekeeper is a strong man in heavy armor. There are almost no decorations on the doors and windows.
(I remember that it was said in the data that the relationship between the civil and military officials of Tara Khan was very bad. This is because the earl has been provoking contradictions and struggles between them, so as to prevent the civil and military officials from joining forces with the overhead lord...)
Panda recalled the information in his heart, and after being checked by the guards, he entered the military attache's mansion and asked the concierge about the location of the city defense officer's office.
"City Defense Officer? It's just on the left turn. The two rooms opposite the door are City Defense Officers." There's writing on the door—are you literate?"
Panda nodded.
"Literacy is a good thing, and it saves money on paperwork. My son is just idle all day, he's a teenager, and he can't even write his own name..."
Resisting the thought of asking "Is your family surnamed Sughar?" Panda thanked him and went to the office of the official in charge of defense outside the city.
The city defense officer is a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He first asked the panda to take off his helmet to take a look, and then asked him to sign a document, and then said, "The work that can be done is written on the wall, and you can see for yourself. Bar".
Panda looked back, and sure enough, there was a blackboard on the wall on the same side as the gate, on which some tasks were written in chalk.
There is no difference from his memory, nothing more than destroying beasts, destroying monsters, and destroying bandits. As long as you come back with the token, and after inspection, it is determined that it is fresh, and you can receive the reward with the token.
As for what a "token" is... Hehe, it's something that needs to be mosaicked in children's films.
Panda watched for a while, nodded, thanked again, and went out the door with a sigh of "you are the most polite orc I've ever met."
Although he was anxious to find a way to stop the cataclysmic storm that swept across Tarakhan City, no matter how anxious he was, he had to do things step by step.
According to the plan conceived by Wumian, he will take the task from the city defense officer first, and then hand over the dagger from the Avi gang when he hands in the task tomorrow. The city defense officer should issue him a "Tracking Bandit". drop" task. Then he took advantage of this mission to lead the city defense army to the gangsters who were going to scourge the city of Tarakhan.
Wanting to spread the plague throughout the city is certainly not something that one person can do. In the game, the villain BOSS has a group of lackeys, all of them crazy villains. They usually pretend to be honest people and run a lumber mill, but they actually do all kinds of evil deeds in the lumber mill.
With the power of the panda alone, it is not enough to destroy the magic cave disguised as a logging farm. But as long as the city defense army is led in the name of "killing the Awei bandit gang", there is no need to worry that they will not clash.
In the city defense army, there are quite a few fanatical law enforcers who are "sacred sanctions" when they get started. Those guys who are far more evil than gangsters are simply incompatible with them, and they will definitely fight when they meet.
Regardless of the outcome of this conflict, as long as they fight, the plan of the black hand to spread the plague will be bankrupt.
