I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 689

The border city of Graham, like Brooks City, is located on the edge of the Kingdom of Solons.

Compared with Brooks City, Graham City is more desolate, surrounded by deserts and rarely green.

There is little arable land and little precipitation. The city cannot be self-sufficient at all. Basically, food and drink have to be transported from the outside world. It is a city that is difficult to operate independently.

But there are still many people gathered here. Although most of them are soldiers of the kingdom, there are also many adventurers who choose to station here as a base.

After all, this city is isolated from the connection with the Demon Continent. If the demons want to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Solons, they must cross this border city.

After all, other roads are blocked by the towering Red Cliff Peak. Large-scale armies cannot climb such steep mountains at all. There is only one road leading to the territory of the Kingdom of Solons, and this city is guarding this road.

Easy to defend and difficult to attack is the best word to describe this city. The reason why the Kingdom of Solons can maintain superficial peace has a lot to do with this harsh terrain. It is really difficult for foreign enemies to invade here.

Adventurers choose to stay here because these cliffs will reveal quite a lot of ores, including rare minerals.

Some special monsters that feed on ores and rocks will often appear nearby. If there is a need to upgrade or customize weapons, the best source of ores is here.

Some blacksmiths will often issue commissions for ore needs, and the rewards are generally very high. If you are eager to make money, choosing to come here to mine is a good choice.

If you can endure the harsh environment here.

The carriage stopped in front of the fortress city. There were quite a few soldiers guarding the gate. Because the demons often harassed here recently, the security here was stricter than ever.

"Please stop, we need to conduct identity verification and body search, please cooperate."

The guard stopped the carriage, and soon someone came over and asked for a body search, completely ignoring the royal symbol on the carriage, and looked completely official.

After all, no one can guarantee that the demons will not pretend to be members of the royal family. The demons are not all a group of battle maniacs. Some demons who are good at fraud are also quite difficult to deal with.

However, compared with the guards in the royal capital, the soldiers here will not have any strange evil thoughts. Even the body search is conducted separately for men and women, and there will be special female soldiers to operate on the girls' side.

After all, the people living here are worried every day. Just to save their lives, they have done their best. They can't eat enough and drink enough. They have no time to think about other things.

Feeling the integrity of this group of people, everyone did not resist much and cooperated with the investigation.

After confirming that it was correct, they were released. Elena and his group were not harassed throughout the whole process.

"These things are left for you. They are resources transported from the royal capital. Please use them freely."

Ruan Xiaxuan had additional negotiations with the soldiers. Since they were going to support this side, the royal capital would naturally bring some supplies.

It's just that these supplies have been passed through the hands of various people, and the resources in them have been reduced by several percent compared to when they were just prepared, but for the current Graham City, this is still a timely help.

"Thank you very much!"

The soldiers were very grateful. It was so comfortable to have supplies at this time.

Especially after knowing that Elena was a hero, everyone's emotions were very high, as if the existence of a hero represented victory, which made Elena very stressed.

"Relax, after all, it's useless to be nervous. You will still die when you are supposed to die."

Elena said a comforting sentence that was not considered comforting, and then glared at Elena. How could he say such a discouraging thing?

Elena and his group were arranged in a house that was considered good, but it was just good.

The stone house looked very simple. There was basically nothing else except some basic furniture. It looked very lacking in life and very dull.

But for this tough border city, this is already a very good environment. For example, the soldiers guarding the city live and eat directly on the city wall, and five or six people sleep in a stuffy small room at a time.

If there is any commotion, they will get up immediately and go to their respective posts to prepare in the shortest time, ready to meet the enemy at any time.

It can be said that they live in high pressure every day.

"Mr. Brave and everyone, you are finally here."

The officer who received Elena and his party was also the lord of this border city, a man named Grayman.Male.

The other party has the standard blond hair of the Kingdom of Sorens, tall and well-proportioned muscles, but because of recent overwork.

His face looks quite tired, and the two dark circles under his eyes look very conspicuous. I don’t know how many days he hasn’t been able to close his eyes.

After seeing the appearance of the brave Elena, he still showed a very excited expression, like a poor man who was about to die of thirst and finally encountered a heavy rain.

"Hello, Lord Grayman, we are here to support the front line under the order of the king."

Elena once again served as the captain, and she was responsible for all foreign negotiations.

She greeted Grayman as soon as she came up, and acted very cordially, basically without the airs that a brave team or a princess should have.

"Welcome, welcome, I really welcome you."

Grayman's excitement was a little uncontrollable, but he looked at Elena with some doubts.

The information transmission of the border city was slower, and he still stayed in the "version" that Elena wanted to marry the princes of other countries.

So now he was a little surprised to see Elina, who was supposed to get married, here.

But he was not stupid, he was even a smart man. Don't ask too much about some things. He climbed to his current position by this.

Although he regretted it now, it was not easy to be the lord of the border city. Even if the reward was high, there was no place to spend the money here.

The supplies in the border city were too scarce. There were very few things to eat and drink, not to mention those things for people to play. Grayman was not in the mood to do these, especially in the current situation of the demons pressing in.

"Although considering that the brave and everyone are a little tired after just arriving, I have to share some intelligence with you now. The offensive of the demons is very fierce. Even until now, they are still harassing not far from our castle. We are eager to repel them. After all, the soldiers have not rested for a long time."

Grayman said a little embarrassedly. After all, it is not appropriate to issue tasks to people just after they arrive, but it is not possible not to do so. After all, the situation is really serious.
