Chapter 178: The Lion Emperor is mighty
It rained heavily on the night we stayed at the hotel, and three days later, in the early morning, the rain finally stopped.
So the know-it-all in the hotel received the order to set off, and they had to go whether they wanted to or not. All of us finally gathered in the barracks playground inside the south gate of Tianmu City, standing in the stagnant water that submerged my calves and waited for Zhou Taishou to announce the mission reward.
Zhou Taishou, whose boots were clean, bowed respectfully to the Lion Emperor, then turned his face to face us, and his expression became very serious.
"Zhou knows that many of you are not willing to accept this compulsory conscription order, but since our Tieguo and Wanshitang have issued a compulsory conscription order to recruit you, then you will be given the treatment you deserve this time. This time, you are participating in gold-level missions, and the tasks of bronze level and below will be directly promoted to one level when you come back. Remuneration: We will pay a remuneration of double the normal remuneration, and those who are willing to come to the Iron Country and the Casting Country to serve as public officials will definitely give you satisfactory treatment and positions!"
The know-it-all around me was thunderous, but I felt very uneasy.
"It's not good, brother, it seems that the situation of the casting country is already very critical, otherwise it would not have opened such good conditions. ”
"Yuxin, don't say it. Boss, his heart is brighter than anyone else. ”
Feng'er gently held my hand, the warm feeling has been in my heart, I shook back the slippery and warm little hand and smiled and nodded to its owner, and its owner's eyes were full of warm light.
"Open the door!"
Zhou Taishou rode on a red-covered iron horse and ordered loudly, and the closed door that had been closed for more than half a month slowly opened in response. A military camp appeared in front of us, and in the distance we could see a 5-meter-high earthen fence surrounding the military camp. Walk straight ahead from the city gate for 100 meters, and an iron gate is already close in front of you. Outside, I don't know how many civilians can be seen, lying in the mud after the rain.
Two groups of 20 soldiers each lined up in two vertical columns at the front of our ranks, each armed with a horsewhip and murderous.
Zhou Taishou, who was sitting on the iron horse, waved the horsewhip in his hand, and the iron gate slowly rose. As the iron gate was raised enough for people to bow their heads through, the soldiers standing in two rows marched out of the gate.
"Get out of here!"
"Get out!"
The civilians lying on the road wailed as the soldiers roared and the whips rang out. One by one, the civilians who were holding their heads and scurrying around did not care about the depth of the puddle on the side of the road, and even crawled into the ground. In front of me, some of the fallen civilians were directly crushed into the muddy water by the people behind them, and no matter how much they struggled, it was useless. We looked at each other, and most of the know-it-alls around us looked flat, as if they had become commonplace.
"Sect Master, you can't save these people unless you have food to feed so many people. ”
The Lion Emperor's voice brought my somewhat dazed brain back to its senses, and I reached out to take Erya's hand, and she looked at me with tears in her eyes. Hong Tong also couldn't bear to hold Erya's other hand, Erya and I have experienced the same life as those civilians, and Erya is undoubtedly the most sympathetic to their suffering.
After clearing the road with leather whips, the soldiers stood every two meters facing the outside of the road, looking at the civilians on the periphery with menacing eyes. Zhou Taishou waved his hand, and we went outside. At a distance of just a few tens of meters, there were 2 or 30 people lying in the puddles after the rain, some of whom were still shaking their hands and feet slightly. But no one went up to save them, not even the civilians on the side of the road, who watched us motionless in awe.
"Lion Emperor, the corpse in yellow clothes on your left, you give it a make-up blow, be careful that it counterattacks. ”
Before I finished transmitting the voice, the blood-colored three-strand fork in the lion emperor's hand had already flashed red, and the corpse was lifted into the air.
A terrible wail came from the mouth of the "corpse", and when the corpse fell to the ground, something strange happened.
The corpse swelled violently, clothes and skin shattered, and green-black blood spilled out. After a full five minutes, the corpse stopped changing.
The corpse turned into a 2-meter-tall monster, with a bald head, an eeriely black scalp, red eyes, staggered sharp teeth protruding outwards from its mouth, hands like lizard claws, and feet like bird claws. The monster's entire body was covered with strange black lines, but these lines slowly faded, and after only 10 minutes, it became a gray-white corpse.
While I was still carefully observing the monster in the crowd, the transmission of the Lion Emperor came.
"Sect Master, is this the only one?"
As for the Lion Emperor's transmission, I answered a little late.
"No, there are 3 on your left, 2 on your right, and there is one in that class, and that one is very short, with a black ...... on his face."
Before I could finish my sentence, one of the soldiers screamed and flew into the air.
At my command, the Lion Emperor rushed left and right, and in five screams, five corpses flew into the middle of the road.
"Is there anything else, sect master. ”
"There is one more in the barracks. ”
Without saying a word, the Lion Emperor rushed into the barracks, and a guy who looked like an officer and was dressed in armor suddenly flew in front of us. Of course, it immediately changed its form and became a monster.
"Is there one in the city?"
"Nope. ”
Zhou Taishou jumped off his horse despite the mud on the ground, and ran to the Lion Emperor excitedly to salute him deeply.
"Mu Dijun, you were able to find out about these anthropomorphic beasts so quickly, you are simply too godly!"
The Lion Emperor ignored Zhou Taishou, but turned to the direction of the city after glancing at me intentionally or unintentionally. He stood with his eyes closed for a moment, and no one dared to disturb him.
After a while, the Lion Emperor turned to Zhou Taishou and said, "Lord Zhou, these monsters have been cleaned up, let these victims from the Casting Kingdom let them into the city." ”
Zhou Taishou wanted to say something, but the fierce aura on the Lion Emperor's body was released, and Zhou Taishou's face turned blue at once.
Zhou Taishou shouted: "Come on! Come on!"
I looked at the iron gate that had fallen and slowly risen, then at the thunderous victims of the Casting Country around me, and then at the second girl who was already full of tears with excitement, and finally turned to the back of the Lion Emperor Wei'an and took a deep look.
When the soldiers marched out of the barracks, the Lion Emperor turned and left. The eyes of the know-it-alls looking at the back of the Lion Emperor were full of confusion and incomprehension, as well as disdain and hostility, but more of admiration.
"If you want to thank Emperor Mu Tieneng of Datong Academy, it was he who killed the anthropomorphic monster, and it was he who let Ben Taishou let you enter the city!"
I couldn't help but look at the pampered Zhou Taishou in some surprising remarks, and he noticed that I was looking at him and was a little embarrassed.
Zhou Taishou walked straight to me excitedly, glanced at the back of the Lion Emperor, and then gave me a thumbs up and said loudly: "Teacher of Datong College, okay!"
"Your Excellency, you ...... Horse. ”
Ignoring his entourage, Zhou Taishou chased after the Lion Emperor directly on the mud, and he thought that the boots were in the way, so he took off the boots and threw them into the deep puddle next to him, causing his subordinates to bury their heads in the muddy water to fish.
"Haha, I actually let the victims into the city privately, my family hasn't made a mistake for more than 10 years. ”
"It's not because there are too many bastards in this world. ”
The two Zhou Taishou entourage, who were covered in mud and water, happily retrieved Zhou Taishou's boots.
Yes, the human heart is made of flesh.
I glanced at the black pressed civilians kneeling on both sides of the road, and turned to chase after the Lion Emperor.
After walking for almost half an hour, the crying behind him was finally no longer heard.
"I didn't expect to be thanked by so many people in my life. ”
"Mind your birds, that's Emperor Xie's. ”
"I'm going to have to do it. ”
"I've only heard that there is no living mouth under the blood fork of the Blood Lion Mad Emperor, but I didn't expect that his old man only killed eight monsters today, and he saved countless lives in this wilderness at once. ”
The know-it-alls were talking behind our backs, and their gaze on us changed from their original alienation to enthusiasm. Especially those female jack-of-all-trades directly surrounded Feng'er in the middle, and motherhood was overflowing.
In the evening, we arrived at the border city of Black Cloud City, which is worthy of being a border city, and the city wall is at least 10 meters high.
The gates of Black Cloud City were closed, and the soldiers of the city were aiming at us with bows and arrows, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"I am Zhou Wenlong, the Taishou of Tianmu City, and on the order of the monarch of my family's Iron Country, I will lead the strong men of the Iron Country and the collected know-it-all to come to your country to support!
The general at the head of the city looked up and down suspiciously at Zhou Taishou, who was covered in muddy water, but he didn't answer for a long time, and he didn't send anyone to verify.
Brother, we have a Blood Lion Mad Emperor who kills people and loves skewering, and slaughters cities for entertainment.
No, as soon as I saw a flower in front of my eyes, the Lion Emperor was gone.
"Huh?"
Zhou Taishou's suspicious voice attracted me to look over, and the briefcase he had waved in his hand was gone. I hurriedly looked at the head of the city, only to see that the lion emperor had already stuffed the briefcase directly into the mouth of the general at the head of the city. As the lion emperor's energy was released, the soldiers who had been aiming at us with bows and arrows relented, so the bows and arrows in the city flew towards us with a roar.
Of course, these bows and arrows don't hit us, but they also make us scramble.
The general who was gagged by the briefcase was not bad at cultivation, and he was also a strong man in the realm of refinement. After pulling out the briefcase stuffed into his mouth, he immediately shouted at his subordinates not to act rashly.
The Lion Emperor frowned at the general who looked at him flatteringly, and pointed his hand at the briefcase covered in his saliva. The general immediately opened the briefcase with a smile on his face and took out the official document for inspection. After reading the official document, the general immediately called a sergeant who looked like a captain, handed the briefcase to him, and shouted at him to hand it over to Hu Taishou.
After the general finished explaining, he turned to the Lion Emperor, and the Lion Emperor pointed to us under the city without saying a word.
"Open the city gate! Hurry up, line up to welcome the VIPs of the Iron Kingdom into the city!"
Finally, the gates of Black Cloud City were opened, and two teams of 15 ironclad warriors stood on both sides of the gate.
As we happily strode towards the gates of Black Cloud City, suddenly two figures in our queue rushed out.
Red Lian flashed, and the ironclad warriors of Black Cloud City lined up outside the city suddenly rolled down; the red light was dazzling, and the ironclad warriors outside the city immediately flew out in all directions and stopped moving when they landed in the mud.
Before the vast majority of people could react to what was going on, only 9 of the 30 samurai lined up outside the city were still standing.
The know-it-alls and the experts of the Iron Country, who had seen clearly what was going on, under the leadership of Zhou Taishou, raised their weapons one after another and released their energy, and they all glared angrily at the remaining ironclad warriors outside the city.
The general who had recovered from the accident under the city suddenly looked at the Lion Emperor angrily: "This emperor! I kindly welcome you, why did you kill my subordinates! Today, I, Zhu Xu, will fight with you to the end!"
The Lion Emperor squinted at Zhu Xu, sneered, and then pointed to the corpse under the city and asked playfully, "That's your subordinate?"
Zhu Xu's face turned red, but he still subconsciously glanced in the direction pointed by the Lion Emperor before roaring: "Of course ....."
