The heavy door slowly opened with a creaking sound, and a group of people wearing linen coats slowly walked in holding horses. Al sniffed and spit out a stream of thick phlegm toward the wall.

Although it was early summer, the weather was still not that hot at night. Plus, he was on duty on this damn city wall. Al felt that today was really bad. He rubbed his somewhat red nose and looked at the slow-moving scene in front of him. Several people who were slowly passing by suddenly felt a little better in their originally bad mood.

"Ha, bless Maria, you can still encounter oil and water during such a night shift..."He first tightened his trouser pockets, patted his already suffocated money bag, then picked up the iron helmet placed beside his buttocks, and finally picked up the long gun behind him.

"Paul, get up quickly, a fat sheep is coming to your door....Maria bless you, we haven't been open for a while."Al hit the man sleeping on the ground with the handle of his spear, and whispered excitedly.

The man on the ground was snoring loudly, but when he heard the word"fat sheep", he immediately jumped Get up, startling Al

"Fat sheep, where is it? Blessed Mother, my beloved Ruth, I can finally go to you tomorrow...."

Al looked helplessly at his captain on duty. This guy named Paul had no connections in the town. He had been a gatekeeper for decades, and he was still working the night shift, which was the most difficult but had almost no salary.

If he could contribute the money he earned to the garrison captain, he might even be able to get a part-time official position, but this guy really has his head full of water. Even at his age, he has been hanging around in romantic places. No, Recently, he fell in love with Ruth, the maid in the tavern, and all the money he earned was spent on the woman.

The two men hurriedly put on their armor and stumbled all the way to the front of the crowd.

When they arrived, Al and Paul were discouraged. Under the night, a few old men dressed in simple and even shabby clothes led a few old horses and walked slowly forward. What a pity, these old horses looked like They are about to be crushed to death by the cargo on them, and the next step seems to be the end of their sad fate....Where are these fat sheep? These are some extremely skinny mice.

"check...Checking the goods, entering the city gate in the middle of the night, who knows what you are doing?..."

Although it was a rat, Al and Paul hadn't been open for a long time. Based on the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat, the two guys decided to come over and get some gas.

The big shots who usually come in and out at night don't even dare to say a word. They are just such poor people. These two humming generals dare to show off their status as city guards.

"Gentlemen, when we first entered the gate, we had already paid taxes. Why do we still have to pay taxes?..."

The speaker was an elderly man with dark skin. His dry lips were moving, and his eyes were full of pleading.

As soon as they heard what the old man said, Al and Paul's eyes suddenly lit up. This group of people obviously had nothing to do with the above. They could bite off a piece of meat now.

"ha? Handed over to you? Let me tell you, the outside is the outside, we are the inside, it’s different...Who do you think is standing in front of you? Mr. Paul, the captain of the second team of the third battalion of the Guards, how dare you evade taxes in front of him?...Right, Captain?"

Al looked at Paul with a flattering look on his face. Paul was in this state, with his eyes rolled up, looking arrogant, but his eyes were still looking at the horse, which affected the whole situation. image of

"How could you do this? We have obviously made friends, and this is in the evening. We have rushed here overnight and have avoided the peak of your arrival in the city during the day. The President has said that although it is extremely dangerous to enter the city at night, it can effectively avoid the peak of the crowd during the day. So the tax for us is exempted...."

A clear voice rang in my ears. It was the voice of a girl....Al and Paul were stunned for a moment. They looked into the crowd and saw a girl about eleven or twelve years old, also dressed in linen clothes, standing there so pretty.

"nonsense...Where is there such a provision?...How can the commander-in-chief have the spare time to deal with you bunch of untouchables?..."

Paul still looked serious on the surface, but the hand behind him was already signaling to Al. Al knew that this guy must have been trapped. He didn't know what the commander had said. All his energy was focused on fighting women. On

"We naturally know the regulations of the Grand Commander....But Maria City is in a tight situation this year. The Survey Corps needs to go out to investigate again. Our taxes are not enough...."

Al is indeed a cunning person. He threw this thorny issue to the Survey Corps in the blink of an eye. Anyway, for the remaining members of the Guard Corps, those guys who went out to seek death were fools, and they should be blamed for it.

Unexpectedly, when they heard that the Survey Corps needed to go out of the city again to investigate and that supplies were insufficient, everyone present fell silent. Several old people looked at each other, but their eyes were full of fire and determination.

The dark-skinned old man and another man carried the largest bag of goods from the strongest horse at the back. They arrived in front of Al and Paul with a huff, smashed the bag in front of them, and threw the bag away. The two of them trembled with fright.

"you...What are you going to do? Let me tell you, the purpose of attacking the city guards is to build a prison. Even if Mary is on top, God can’t protect you...."

The dark-skinned old man didn't care at all about the tone of their conversation. He stood up straight and faced the two city guard soldiers.

"Since the supply of the Survey Corps is tight, we old people should also make our own contribution to these children who are working for the advancement of our humanity....At this time, the newly harvested corn this year was accompanied by the best Hualan potatoes....This is the most valuable thing in our lot...."

The old man looked at the girl next to him and stroked her head dotingly.

"This child's parents are members of the Survey Corps, and they are both heroes....We old people can't do much more than farm the land."

The old man's words suddenly became a little passionate.

"So the future of these children will be left to the soldiers of the Corps!"

The scene suddenly became deserted, and the old man's words seemed to have magic power, making the whole world pure. The two generals Hengha, who usually pounced on the slightest benefit, were looking at each other uncharacteristically at this time. The package contains goods worth a few silver coins, maybe you can have a few good drinks, maybe you can flirt with the hotel proprietress, but...

Xingye didn't speak. He just watched the whole thing happen quietly and didn't step forward to stop anything.

"Then we will..."

Al swallowed with some difficulty, and finally stretched out his hand towards the big package, but as soon as his hand reached into the air, the other hand snatched it away with lightning speed, and Captain Paul took it Holding that bag, my eyes are burning

"Damn, the captain is still really ruthless....Don't miss this either..."

Al curled his lips. Although he could get a lot of these goods, he still felt uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, we will hand these goods over to the Survey Corps....The glory of mankind stepping out of the city wall is due to you!"

Paul didn't know when he straightened his chest. He looked at several old people with stooped backs. He used all his strength to make a fist with his backhand and hit his heart.

"Boom!!"

"For the future of mankind!"

He straightened his chest and shouted loudly as if he had just joined the guard corps._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Fei Lu Xiao
