Chapter 194: Gifts

I don't know who rang the alarm, and the rapid sound of the bell echoed over Sitong Town, and the city was thrown into chaos. The soldiers tried to close the gates of the town, but the crowd outside the city was slow to make progress.

There were already knights on duty standing at the top of the city to look out, but there was no trace of the enemy outside the city, except for the panicked crowd.

The sudden commotion made the guards in front of Bran seem at a loss. I wanted to pounce on him, but I found that the armor on my body had become a cage and bound him tightly. Like a ridiculously stiff puppet, the whole person fell straight to the ground. The other guards who wanted to surround them also ended up in the same fate.

It wasn't that no one noticed the anomaly of a few guards in the chaos, but in the face of the alarm, a few fallen guards were clearly not worth prioritizing. At the roar of the knights, groups of soldiers hurried and panicked towards the city.

Bran stepped out of the way and watched with interest. And very considerately, he kicked the guard to the side. It is difficult for a teenager to attract attention in the midst of chaos, so no one disturbs him to enjoy the farce.

When several knights appeared guarding a tall, bloated man, Bran appeared in the middle of the road, blocking the way.

Bran looked at the people in front of him, thinking about Lily's appearance, and asked in a strange voice, "Can you understand me?"

......

Ever since the fall of Silverpine and the Anya Defenses, Khan has been anxious. He feared that the next target of the Northlanders would be Sitong Town.

His family has been in control of this place for generations. This is the position that the ancestors bought with their blood. The generals who led the army gathered the elite of the army and rushed into the mountain pass in the west without hesitation, and their whereabouts have been unknown ever since.

On that occasion, his tribe suffered heavy losses. As compensation, the town of Sitong was assigned to them. For this fat position, the clan fought openly and secretly, and finally his family picked this fruit.

But it didn't come without a price, and the family was gradually isolated from the clan. But who cares? Look at this, the money and food that goes in and out every day, the wealth that grows day by day.

With money and food, it is possible to train and recruit elite samurai for the family, and with these elite samurai, they can protect the growing wealth.

He was more concerned than anyone else about Silverpine and the Anya Line, because his family had nowhere to go.

There is always someone who can find the real answer in the chaotic information, even if it is only in the corner of the truth. Truth is sometimes more unbelievable than falsehood, and he hovers between believing or not believing. He knows that there is only one truth, and there is only one real murderer, but he just doesn't want to admit it, because this conclusion is too ridiculous!

If one person can do this, why not just sweep across the plain?

With the arrival of the demon army again, the sense of security returns. The money and food that followed also made the wealth that poured into his hands increase rapidly.

He hoped that the Northlanders would toss a few more times. The war that has subsided in recent decades has left the family feeling a little embarrassed. But they did not dare to reduce the armament in their hands, because there were too many people eyeing them. And to maintain these armaments, it is necessary to consume a lot of wealth.

Families grow and grow in the nourishment of war, and without it they will be useless. Now that the war has finally returned, why is there a sense of unease in my heart?

It wasn't until this northland boy lazily blocked his way that he finally understood why he was uneasy.

The Northlanders also saw the wealth of the war, and now they were ready to reap it. At the time when he thought everything was within reach, when he became ambitious.

I would have had a chance to run......

......

Khan could understand, but he didn't want to!

The knight and the soldiers had already surrounded the boy, waiting for him to give an order. But a voice preempted him and stopped what was about to happen.

Nicole, his daughter spoke, "Stand down!"

She is a wizard, a wizard with a small name in the demon race, so she can see things that ordinary people can't see. As the boy blocked his way, the magic began to rise from the ground, and the entire town changed in the blink of an eye. The colors are withering, and everything in the eyes is black and white.

The boy stood lazily, but she couldn't see any life, everything a creature should have, breathing, body temperature, and so on. Including the physical body, she saw only magic, but not flesh.

She held her father tightly, and the rustic sound of steel grinding against his father's armarmor made a steely squeeze.

"Stand down!" she commanded again, stepping forward to block her father behind her.

Looking at the young man who re-emerged from the crowd, she bowed slightly: "What is there to serve you?"

......

Although the woman in front of her was speaking broken Northland, Bran still asked in a strange voice, "Can you understand me?"

"Yes. ”

Hearing this answer, Bran scratched his head, and Lily couldn't remember what she was talking about, so she had to get down to business first.

"I would like to ask a question, a question that bothers me. ”

You say. ”

"How can I get you to submit with a few fewer deaths? After all, you belong to my private property, and I don't want to cause too much damage to my property. ”

"Do you really think so?" Although she already felt the strength of the other party, Nicole was still irritated by the other party's attitude. The lazy, weird tone.

She wants to teach the other party a lesson, not to kill the other party, but to fight for the right to speak on an equal footing. Now that the people of the Northland have appeared here, the fate of the demon army can be imagined. If the demon army can't stop it, then Sitong Town definitely can't stop it.

I believe that most people have already reacted, so they are watching the development of the situation. A little light appeared from her hand, and it went out in a slight flash. How so? She looked down in amazement, looking at her empty palm.

Bran ignored Nicole's petty movements.

"I need the living, and although the dead can be used, I still like to have more living people. As he spoke, Bran beckoned to the knight who had just surrounded him with his troops.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the knight fell to the ground silently, and a translucent figure stood beside Bran a moment.

"Or more people need to be killed. The soldiers around Bran were shattered into powder, and the thick bloody aura instantly dispersed.

Nicole retched a few times before looking at the young man in front of her with a pale face.

"Or do some people think they can escape the embrace of death. "The soldiers who had just died reappeared, and they stood neatly behind Bran, guarding their new king.

Bu looked at the woman in front of him, "Help me pass a word, kneel and not die." ”

His fingers drew a semicircle, "Let's start here." ”

......

When Lily arrived at Sitong Town, she saw Bran sitting cross-legged in front of the town gate, and a woman beside her was respectfully reporting something to him.

Looking at her brother's appearance, she couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"How did you get here?" she asked, and sat down beside her brother.

"Wait for you to settle the score, where is my butterfly?"

"It's blended into the wings. Lily glanced at Bran defiantly.

Lily then talks about the consequences of her attempt to take the little wizard away, and then asks, "You don't want to say something?"

"What do you say?" Bran was a little puzzled.

"I have so many followers, don't you envy them?"

From now on, you will have to worry about their eating, drinking, and sleeping, and you will regret one day. ”

"No, it won't. Honestly, what the hell are you running here for?"

"I'm afraid you'll kill everyone, so come and have a look. Cities need labor to maintain, build, and have someone to direct planning, and we don't have experience in that, but here's it. I've picked out those craftsmen and I'm sure they'll help you.

Also, would like to give you a gift before leaving. ”

"What gift?"

"I'll build you a wizard's tower. ”
