The position of the beast tide in the deserted city was temporarily relieved, leaving behind a piece of ruins and countless cries and screams, and thousands of people were buried in the beast tide in that only half a day, and even the vast majority of the victims did not even leave their bodies.

The collapsed city wall is being rebuilt, but the city wall can be rebuilt, but the fear imprinted in the heart cannot be eliminated, even if the deserted city belongs to the border city, but this is the first time that the beast tide of this scale has been encountered, after all, the deserted city is not a big city.

There was a panic in the deserted city, and people were panicked, until the arrival of the group, the newcomer Snow King, Snow River, and the eldest son of the previous Snow King.

is different from Xue Qinghan Xue He has been fighting in the Snow Shadow Army since he was a child, accumulating military exploits along the way, coupled with the identity of the eldest son of the Snow King, he has a very high reputation in the army. The most obvious point is that the difference between the welcoming scene when Xue Qinghan took office and the arrival of Xue He is not ordinary.

Dressed in white armor, holding a silver spear, and heroic, he sat down a martial snow beast, and led the mighty Snow Shadow Army into the city in the midst of the welcome of the soldiers and civilians of the deserted city.

The Snow Shadow Army is the most descendant army cultivated by the Snow King Xue Qianren, and its combat effectiveness is the top of the platoon among the three empires, and it is also the main force guarding the Deserted Sky Pass.

It is naturally impossible for the Snow River to take all the Snow Shadow Army with him, but the team of about 1,000 people gives people a sense of oppression like a wild beast. Dressed in snow-white battle armor, the spear in his hand flickered with cold light I don't know how much enemy blood I have drunk, just between the marches, it gives people a feeling that the Great Wall of steel is uncrossable.

The arrival of the Snow River and the Snow Shadow Army finally dissipated the panic that had shrouded the deserted city a little, and the panic calmed down a little.

And after that, not long after Xue He entered the deserted city, there was news from the city lord's mansion that the new city lord of the deserted city, who had only been in office for more than a month, and Xue Qinghan, who was also the son of the previous snow king Xue Qianren, was deposed as the city lord, and because of the beast tide in the deserted city, he was questioned and has been detained.

Xue Qinghan, as the lord of the deserted city, was not in the city when the beast tide occurred, and he was not effective in resisting the beast tide, causing the defense of the deserted city to be broken, thousands of people were killed, and he was crowned with dereliction of duty, and due to the seriousness of the situation, it was reported that he would be severely punished.

For Xue Qinghan, the city lord, in fact, the people of the deserted city don't have much impression, let alone respect and love, and it is normal for no one to speak for him.

Even in the eyes of many people in the deserted city, not resisting the beast tide itself is Xue Qinghan, the city lord, should bear the primary responsibility, and many people support this, especially the families of those who died, and many people even ran directly to the gate of the city lord's mansion to curse viciously.

"Hehe, our new city lord, he was also brave and abnormal when he beat his own people, didn't he say that he defeated General Ji Ji before? Hey, when the beast tide happened, it was said that this guy had to have a scene at the end, and he didn't know where to hide before that and shivered, right? hahahaha!"

"Who says it's not? At the time of the beast tide, several commanders, and even President Liu of our mercenary association were fighting bloodily, and it was better for him to be the lord of the city, so he didn't show up directly, maybe he was still happy with his beautiful maid......

"Such a person, surnamed Xue, is simply a disgrace to the old Snow King, no wonder he was exiled to such a border area. ”

"You say, the current Snow King is also his brother, will it be ......?"

"No, that's impossible, I've heard of it, although this Snow King is young now, he has the inheritance of the old Snow King, which is completely different from the snow Qinghan. ”

"That's it, I also heard that as the eldest son of the Snow King, before he succeeded to the Snow King, he had already accumulated military exploits in the army step by step, and many old people in the army were very satisfied with him. And ah, he has always acted justly and honestly, even if he is a brother, he will not cover it. ”

"So many people died, then Xue Qinghan should be condemned to death, that's thousands of lives, not a few, not dozens, it's thousands of people, just eaten by those damned beasts, alas~"

"Even if the above wants to let him go, we absolutely disagree, how is a person like him different from those murderers?"

"He can't let it go, he should atone for his crimes!"

"He wants to give an explanation to those thousands of undead and apologize for their sins!"

"Kill him!"

"Yes, execute him! As the lord of the city, he has committed such a mistake, it is unforgivable!"

“......”

In the deserted city, all kinds of voices are spreading, within a few days, all kinds of news have been flying all over the sky, some say that the new city lord hid in the city lord's mansion and shivered when the beast tide, and some said that the city lord was having fun with the beautiful maid next to him, anyway, it was a point, when the beast tide, as the city lord Xue Qinghan did not appear, and the crime was extremely evil.

What's more, they feel that the disaster of the beast tide in the deserted city is the responsibility of Xue Qinghan, after all, the former beast tide, the deserted city is still standing, and there have never been as many casualties as this time.

It is also said that the reason why General Ji Ji, the number one master in the deserted city, was seriously injured by the demon king was also because he was poisoned by Xue Qinghan at the beginning, and his injuries had not healed, otherwise it would not have been so.

For a time, the opinions among the people showed a one-sided trend, some news was concealed and blocked, and some were released by people with good intentions and widely spread in the deserted city.

I have to say that sometimes the people are really a stupid group, or in fact, they just want to find a target for a disaster, and as for the truth of the matter, not so many people care. Similarly, how strong the Tianpeng Demon King is, they can't understand it, and they don't want to understand it.

They only knew one thing, when the new city lord took office, the beast tide broke out, and when resisting the beast tide, the new city lord did not show up for a long time, and the deserted city was broken by the beast tide, with heavy casualties.

And the people in the army don't need to say much, and the other mercenaries who participated in the war, even if they are on the battlefield, still don't know much news.

The people who really knew the news, with their old and spicy eyes, naturally smelled the slightest unusual breath from the rumors, which made them close their mouths cautiously.

The blood demon was directly dismissed, and Mo Jiuqing was also speechless, everything had been taken over by the people brought by Xuehe.

In the city lord's mansion, in a quiet courtyard, Xue Qinghan sat in the courtyard dressed in white, with a game of chess in front of him.

"I said, Dark Feather, don't dangle anymore, okay, sit down and play chess with me. Xue Qinghan raised his head and looked at Dark Feather walking back and forth in the courtyard in a long black dress, and said helplessly.

Dark Feather stopped, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "But... Childe, aren't you worried?"

Looking at the look of worry in Dark Feather Rumo's eyes, Xue Qinghan shook his head and said, "What are you worried about, what's the use of worrying?"

"I... I don't know ......."

"Then play chess with me. Xue Qinghan motioned for Dark Feather to sit down opposite.

Dark Feather sat down and looked out of the door, where there were several figures in battle armor, in addition to them, there were several faint auras wandering nearby, and the entire courtyard had become a cage.

Dark Feather frowned, with anger in his eyes, and said: "I didn't resist the tide of beasts, but now they are pushing all the responsibility on you, Gongzi, Tianpeng Demon King is so powerful, how can anyone stop him? Moreover, although Gongzi is the city lord, there is no reason to blame you." ”

Xue Qinghan smiled and was noncommittal.

"Childe, don't you know, now many people in the deserted city say that it is your responsibility to fail to resist the tide of beasts, and even put those thousands of lives on you Childe, and ask for the crime of Childe. Dark Feather looked at Xue Qinghan and didn't react, and continued angrily.

"Those of them don't know the strength of the Tianpeng Demon King at all, and the reason why Ji Heizi was injured by the Tianpeng Demon King was also because the previous son had seriously injured him and had not recovered, which was simply annoying. ”

"There are also people who deliberately add fuel to the fire and make more people hate you, so ...... go on like this"

"Smack~"

The sound of the chess pieces falling was crisp, and Xue Qinghan looked at Dark Feather and said, "It's your turn!"

Dark Feather looked at the pair of eyes that seemed to contain a galaxy, and saw that there was a calm and bottomless depth in his gaze. It seemed that under the influence of his gaze, Dark Feather's heart also calmed down a little.

"What about hatred? I don't delight in their respect, and I never want to be loved, those guys, I can't afford to expect others to fail? I don't owe them anything, after all, what are they?" Xue Qinghan's tone was extremely flat, but he didn't care about that kind of indifference.

"They are so good that I will have no burden in my heart, and the sympathy that arises from pity in my heart will be gone, so that I can do what I want and follow my heart. Come on, it's your turn. ”

"But... But... Childe, I—" Dark Feather blushed slightly, bowed her head and said, "I don't know how to play chess." ”
