Chapter 169: The City Lord Is Poisoned
"What, you said that there are only a few hundred old people left in Black Cloud City?" After the battle, Paisi couldn't wait to find out the news outside, but what he didn't expect was that the expectations in his heart were still crushed!
"No, no!" Bowen was also horrified!
"This is already very good, you don't know what kind of effort someone has made to get a living!" Ling Yun said with mixed feelings!
As soon as these words came out, Paisi's face was angry!
"There are more than 20,000 people up and down in Black Cloud City, and the elderly and children account for more than 8,000, and now there are only a few hundred left, which is very good?"
Just thinking about it, Pais's eyes were blood-red and he was grief-stricken!
Eight thousand? Ling Yun was shocked in his heart, so many, which means that more than 7,000 people were baptized in blood!
This is really not good, against that large population, it is really almost like dying!
No wonder the black-clothed Ling'er betrayed her beliefs and dripped blood on the butcher's knife, this is a fact that no one can bear!
The two adjusted for a long time, and Pais, a knight in his forties, looked a lot older in an instant, and this time, he may not even see his parents, and his own children!
"How many people are there in the annihilation team?" Ling Yun said suddenly!
Pais sorted out his mood and patted Bowen on the shoulder, at this time Bowen was already in tears, sad and pitiful!
His parents have come out together with the Knights, but his sister is only in her teens, and it seems that there is no hope, and there are grandparents!
"Bowen!
"Si Daren!" Bowen still looked grief-stricken!
"Now we have eight thousand guards in the Knights and the Mages!What about you? How many of them have come? Are they reinforcements from Angel Village?" asked Pais!
The only nearby village is Angel Village, and there are a few villages no matter how far away, but it's too far!
"Uh..................! We're two of us, intending to break the fog from within!" Ling Yun said with some embarrassment!
There are only two people, Paisi was also stunned for a moment, he has seen Ling Yun's strength, but this Gu Liang? Okay, even if this Gu Liang is so powerful, what is the use of two people!
"You two, how do you break the black fog?" asked Pais, weirdly!
I thought it was a good place outside, but who knew that the city was gone, and two people came to save thousands of people? It's really funny!
"We brought the Staff of Holy Light!" Ling Yun said lightly, he could understand Paisi's mood, so Ling Yun didn't have the heart to hide anything!
"Holy Light Staff?" Paisi had already given up, but when he suddenly heard Ling Yun say it, his expression immediately became a little solemn!
"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to the city lord!" Paisi said sincerely, and there was no more contempt in his eyes!
Ling Yun may only have two people, but the Holy Light Staff is a very powerful magic tool, every village has a treasure of towns and villages, and this Holy Light Staff is the crown jewel of Angel Village!
From Pais's mouth, Ling Yun also learned that at present, all the annihilation teams in Black Cloud City are on the rock layer, the mage group has built a defense, and every day the knights will go to war with the dark lord, and the two sides belong to the stalemate stage, but the dark king doesn't know how to get it, and a steady stream of soldiers and horses are summoned every day!
Speaking of which, the sudden appearance of the dark creature also made them stunned, they had never said that so much darkness had invaded before!
Approaching the rock formation, Ling Yun realized that he was majestic, if there was water in the canyon, then it was an island!
The vicinity of this island is lit up, and there are knight squads patrolling back and forth, and everyone recognizes Captain Silver, and only an adult like Pais can go out and hunt the Dark Lord alone!
Today is also the same as usual, but the knights on patrol suddenly notice that there are two unusual faces!
Everyone's strength is limited, there are not many knights who can go out alone, everyone knows each other, and there is no impression at all that Lord Paiss brought back!
"Lord Pais, are they reinforcements from outside?" asked one of the knights, unable to hold back his speculation!
As soon as these words came out, the entire team stopped and waited for the answer they were expecting!
It has to be!
Everyone is looking forward to it, it has been more than ten days since they were trapped here, and there were reinforcements from Black Cloud City one after another in the first few days, but then there were no ones, and these few days happened to be a window period, and everyone was very tormented!
"Have you forgotten the rules of knighthood?" said Pais, sternly, and the knight who was watching couldn't help but be disappointed!
I guess it's from the other team!
yes, where are the reinforcements!
"Go on patrol, don't let a dark lord get in the way........................ Also, it's indeed reinforcements!" Paiss reprimanded, but looking at the knights with low morale, he couldn't bear to answer their questions!
"Really?............ Great!"
Suddenly hearing the answer they were expecting, the disappointed knights couldn't help but be impassioned and clapped their hands!
"Let's go on patrol, brothers!" said the knight who took the lead, with arrogance!
The entire Cavaliers seemed to be so refreshed, and the belief in victory filled their hearts!
Paiss smiled, but his eyes were full of worry, and he didn't know what would happen to these guys if they knew the truth, forget it, no matter if one day is a day, as long as they break through the fog, everything will pass!
After stepping through the knight's defense line, and then came to the mage's defense line, most of the mage group didn't know the knights, so they didn't care if there were two more people!
Along the way, Ling Yun found that the mental state of most of the members of the Annihilation Team was not particularly good, and the entire team was on the verge of collapse!
In fact, it happened to be a trough period recently, and everyone was full of confidence at the beginning, and then found that they could not break through and began to expect, and the expectation of being so full of spirit every day was high, and the rest was the trough period!
At this time, there will be a lot of negative emotions, Ling Yun feels that he has come at the right time, if it is a few days late, I am afraid that the morale of the annihilation team will be even lower!
Most of them only have simple tents, and they are also aware of the expedition, so there is no shortage of food, and the space ring is not afraid of corruption!
All in all, this is still a powerful living force, but what makes Ling Yun can't figure out is why no one thought of smashing that black magic tool with so many people?
Ling'er has seen it, so many people, there should be smart ones!
At first, Ling Yun was puzzled, but after being introduced to the city lord by Pais, he suddenly had some enlightenment!
"Ahem............ Are you a reinforcement from Angel Village?" asked a middle-aged man in his forties with a pale face!
Ling Yun finally knew the reason why so many teams were still on the defensive!
The city lord in front of him was lying on a chair, and thanks to the space ring, he at least had a decent place to hold a meeting!
Ling Yun originally thought that this living force was complete from top to bottom, but he didn't expect that something would go wrong with their leader!
The city lord looked terminally ill, and next to him was a knight in golden armor, who heard that he was the head of the knights, and a man in a bodysuit with two swords on his back, who looked cold!
There is also an old man with a staff in hand, who can be here either as a leader or as a trusted henchman!
"That's right, I've brought the Staff of Holy Light, which can take you out of the fog!" Ling Yun said admittedly!
It's the first time I've faced the castle lord, and I'm a little nervous!
"Staff of Light......! Cough ......!" the city lord exclaimed excitedly, but unexpectedly coughed!
"Pais, go down! Don't tell anyone about this!" said the knight leader on the side, solemnly!
"Yes!" Paiss nodded, and went down with Bowen!
If you don't tell others, you can't tell anyone about the Staff of Light!
This made Ling Yun particularly puzzled, what was the situation? The atmosphere at the scene was a little suspicious, and now there were only the city lords, two regiment commanders, and a guard in the tent!
"Lingyun is right! I think you should have some doubts, and we will explain to you later, things are not as simple as you think!"
The old man on the side was silent, sitting there motionless, as if asleep!
"Isn't the Holy Light Staff able able to break through the fog?" Ling Yun wondered, what are you doing so solemnly, it's good to be happy, I feel very panicked!
The coughing city lord waved his hand, indicating that this was not the case, and sympathy took out a token that radiated holy light from his arms!
