Chapter 258: Situation

Looking at this scene, the cockroach's face turned pale, took a sip, turned his head to Lu En and said:

"It's over! They've been packed, let's hurry up! Even if you want to break the siege, you have to wait for you to find someone, otherwise how can you, a low-level mage, withstand these people, the few leaders in front are all professionals! Forget it, hurry back to find your family or guards, so that you can save them, don't send them to death! ”

Lu En didn't answer, but looked over there carefully to see what the situation was.

In that small village over there, there are old and young, the old and the children are all in the village, with fences and simple fences as cover, the children are held by some old people, but they are still looking outside, their expressions are very nervous, around them, some young women are taking care of, and blocking the front, these women are not delicate young ladies, but five big and three thick, powerful working women, all of all blood, there are even two human aunts, with a horizontal face, blazing eyes, red skin, At first glance, he is a good hand at doing farm work, one person grabs a dung fork, glaring angrily outside, protecting the old and the young.

Among them are the prostitutes that Lu En saw before, as well as the child who escaped, it is clear that they have not been abandoned, but are well protected.

And out of the village, the outside are all young and middle-aged men, most of them seem to be farmers or craftsmen, all of them are rough men, the leader is a monster half-blood, it should be the blood of the stone giant rhinoceros, more than three meters high, gray skin, as if covered with a layer of rocks, armor, holding a big hammer for forging, as steady as Mount Tai, as soon as he stood there, he shocked a group of people, so that a gang of gangster thugs did not dare to approach.

Although the other men are not so burly, they have been striking iron all year round, and their lives have been better these years, because the workshop will not deduct food, and will not compress the cost of food and housing in pursuit of profits, and they are all stronger than those thugs.

There were humans, monsters, pitchforks, hammers, and some simply used their own forged weapons, working in twos and twos, silently waiting for the gangsters over there to charge.

Including these women with combat effectiveness, there are about fifty people, after all, the old and the young are a minority, and most of the people who can survive under the previous conditions are young and middle-aged.

And the number of gangsters behind Lu En is about twice as large, and the little man in the lead is a professional, in addition to him, there are four or five other similar squad leaders who are also professionals.

They were dressed differently, different heights, some were as tall and mighty as the stone rhinoceros, standing in front of them with a fierce attitude, and some were like cockroaches, trembling with weapons, just to make up people's heads, but uniformly, they all had a stick on their bodies, not flat, and there were rusty nails on the top of their heads, and it would definitely not be good to take a hit.

Lu En glanced at it simply, this is a not very equal battle, there are more craftsmen and professionals, but the craftsman skills are not combat skills, although the skill of this "craftsman" itself will bring an increase in strength and endurance, and there is no problem with high-level craftsmen pinching a small crispy skin with their bare hands, but after all, it is not specifically used for fighting, and there will be some losses, these craftsman professionals are barely able to fight against the fighting professionals of the Dead Snake Gang, if they cooperate better, they may not be injured, and they can stalemate for a while.

The Dead Snake Gang will definitely win, but they will not feel good, and the reckless men will definitely bring them a lot of casualties, so the little man in the lead did not directly let go, but kept insulting and intimidating, hoping to scare off the people of the Federation.

However, the people in the Federation Workshop never said a word, but they did not retreat, and everyone just stared at the people of the Dead Snake Gang, so that the Dead Snake Gang did not dare to act rashly, just scolded.

"Hey! Have you listened to me!? Don't you have any hidden guards around you or anything? The cockroach pulled Larun with a nervous expression.

But Lu En gently opened his hand, and then said:

"Has anyone ever told you not to provoke a lone nobleman when you see him going out?"

With that, he smiled and picked up the cane he had been standing on.

"What do you mean......?" The cockroach seemed to realize something and its eyes widened.

But in the next second, the black robe in front of him had disappeared in place.

It's a pity that the cockroach doesn't have much insight and can't understand it, otherwise he would have known-

This is a fourth-level spell, the Flash Technique.

The black-robed man in front of him was at least a level 4 mage.

On the other side, the little man who was shouting suddenly found a man in a black robe and a cane standing in front of the village, with his back to them.

Lu En turned his back to the gangsters, looking at the people in the workshop who had gathered and said nothing, with relief in his eyes.

"You're doing a good job." He complimented.

"You are?" The stone giant rhino at the head looked at Lu En suspiciously, how did this person suddenly appear? This is the legendary mage master?

"Well, I'm here to help you." Lu En replied with a smile.

At this time, the little man behind him saw Lu En suddenly appear, and then said that he wanted to help, and scolded directly: "Who are you!?" Dare to meddle with the Dead Snake Gang? I'm telling you, don't think you're a professional—"

Before the words fell, Lu En waved his hand, and the little man in the lead exploded directly, spilling flesh and blood on the ground, drawing countless bursting ray-like traces on the ground.

"Noise." He said lightly.

Oh no, there was only blood, no meat, and the flesh was all liquid, and at first glance it was no different from blood.

It's not right, not even blood, in fact, his whole being has become ...... An incredible, thick mixture, like tomato chowder with cream.

The spell of level 7 "Ashes and Smoke" is very simple, similar to a microwave oven, using magic to shake the structure of matter, wash away the underlying molecules, and then make the water molecules, fat molecules and other active molecules in the object oscillate and rub at high speed, such an operation can even break the chemical bonds, and the whole person of the recipient will be split into a mass of molecular soup, and finally bang and explode into a ball.

For high-level professionals, they can rely on their own abilities to make different resistances, this spell will have little effect, but for those who are unable to resist, that is, all methods are useless, there is only a dead end, and it is annihilated from the material base, and it cannot be saved, so the spell is called "ashes".

This hand directly suppressed both the enemy and the enemy.

The little man who led the way just now is one of the high-level leaders of the Dead Snake Gang, a level 2 snitch, and a level 1 assassin, and he can be regarded as a first-class good player of the Dead Snake Gang.

But just a wave of your hand, it could be magic, it could be some other skill, but whatever...... With a wave of his hand, he directly shattered the strong man of compound level 2.

It's really broken, the bones are gone, and the splashing sewage stains on the ground are all the traces he has left, a big living person, and it's gone after a snap.

All the gangster thugs took a step back in unison, even if they were strong, they didn't dare to rush forward, who knew if they would die next or not?

Even the people in the workshop were frightened, although they did not retreat, but their steps were obviously hesitant, and their attitude was not as resolute as before.

The devil knows if this man is friend or foe! Although he killed the gangsters, he was not necessarily on his side.

"I'm here to help, really." Seeing that the scene was a little stiff, Lu En touched his nose in embarrassment, then turned around, straightened his face, and looked at the gangster: "Get out, go back to your boss, you are not worthy to talk here." ”

Another gangster thug, emboldened, stepped forward with a respectful attitude: "Your Excellency! You ......"

Before you could say a word, this person suddenly sweated like pulp! The water evaporated from his body, and his skin quickly dried up, although the outside of his body was full of sweat, and the sweat even flowed to the ground and merged into a small stream, but his body was like a fire, his lips were chapped, his skin was dry, and soon, the whole person became a dry corpse, like a mummy that had been stripped of its shroud.

He remained in this position, standing still, and died.

Dehydration, a spell that literally tortures the recipient with a terrible curse of dehydration, leaving all the water in their body and turning them into a dried corpse.

The gangster thugs are all stupid.

"I said, let you go to your boss, you don't understand, do you?" Lu En raised a hand.

Those gangsters and thugs immediately scattered! Are you kidding! Two people have already died, and they are all so miserable! They don't want to be buried with them! This person is definitely a high-level professional, and he has to go to the boss! Only the boss can do it! The boss is a level 4 compound skill, and he can definitely clean up this person!

The gangsters ran away without a trace, running faster than anything else.

Lu En turned around again, looked at the people in the workshop, and paused his cane: "You see, I came with good intentions, we can ...... Talk? ”

"When...... Of course, welcome, Cabinet...... No, my lord! The leading stone giant rhino was dumbfounded, and hurriedly led people to make a way!

No matter what this unknown powerhouse is here for, but the other party can easily destroy himself, the other party has no hostility, and even shows kindness, so it is always right to be respectful.

The cockroach looked dumbfounded outside, stunned in place, at a loss, but Lu En didn't continue to pay attention to him, but walked straight towards the village.

All the way into the village, the outside fence was directly closed, and the villagers crowded around Lu En and walked all the way inside.

The little girl who was protected inside saw Lu En and exclaimed, "Adult?!" ”

She saw someone outside, but when she got closer, she realized that it was actually the black-robed man who saved her before!

Because she was still young, although she had been looking out anxiously just now, and at the same time blaming herself, blaming herself for luring the Dead Snake Gang over, but anyway, there was no way to be short, she couldn't see the outside at all, and when the person walked in, she saw the face, and she never thought that she would save her own person!

Today, he saved himself twice.

Lu En nodded and smiled at her, but didn't say much, he just seemed to be walking steadily, but actually walked into the village excitedly, wanting to take a closer look inside.

The village looks no different from any other impoverished area, except for a high percentage of workshops, dilapidated huts, and townhouses, but ...... One thing is different, and that's here, surprisingly clean.

In the many slums Lu En walked, people lived in tattered dirt, rats and cockroaches were infested everywhere, and the surrounding buildings seemed to collapse at any moment, but here it was different.

Although the rooms they lived in were small and poor, they were not broken, they patched up all the holes that had been broken, built the roof with straw or wooden branches, and the ingenious people made windows out of wooden planks so that there would be no rain or air leaks, and the rooms were cleaned, and there were some livestock, such as chickens and cows, on the edge of the village, but they did not let them run around, but carefully planned an area.

From this point, Lu En is very pleased that these people are doing their best to "live", rather than simply "living".

In the vicinity of raising livestock, he also saw the cultivated farmland, which was not much, but it should be enough for dozens of people in a village.

Of course, this enough food does not mean that they are full, but that they will not die of hunger, and that they will not have enough to eat after paying taxes, and they will have to find other ways to live.

Walking to the workshop, it was still working, but it was temporarily stopped by the gangsters, and the blast furnace produced a steady stream of fine iron was cooled into iron plates by molds.

These metals are sold, used as raw materials, and then bought by various processing places, melted down, and made into the things they need, such as statues, weapons, needles, iron pots, kitchen knives, railings, etc.

The refined iron produced by the blast furnace is not as good as the professionals who knock it out with a hammer, but it is a large amount, which should be able to make them full and have time to exercise themselves, Lu En found that the group of strong men who followed him, the number of professionals is quite gratifying, although it is not as good as An Luo, but it has done a good job, it has only recently been newly built, and I believe there are many better than here.

Walking all the way, he walked in front, followed by a group of people behind, and inspected a painting style with the leader.

But the difference is that Lu En is really looking at it seriously, he observes every corner, what he does well, what he doesn't do well, and he doesn't let go of any place.

The more he looked, the more satisfied he became, although there were many things here, such as educational places, and there were not many literate people here, it was estimated that there was no condition to invite teachers to teach, after all, literacy was actually a very expensive thing, and they had only solved the problem of food and clothing, and they had not yet reached that point.

Standing in front of the workshop, he turned to look at the people who were following him.

"You're doing a great job, it's good here." He complimented, and then asked, "You just came to Apido, how did you do it, can you tell me about it?" ”

"I'm curious, who gave you the name Federation? How do you do that? ”

Lu En's face was full of relief, he had never interfered too much in the development of the grassroots, and had only been spreading ideas.

But now, the development has exceeded his expectations.
