Chapter 35: The City Lord
"With the arrival of the 'Demon Moon', the power of magic has greatly increased, and the demonic beasts have naturally become stronger. You can't confront them head-on, so the way to fight the beast tide in Linshan City is to bombard them in turn with magic crystal cannons. If there is one that slips through the net, just kill it with martial arts when it gets close to the wall. ”
"After resisting a wave of beasts, there will be a wave every once in a while. At this time, the defenders will take a rest, and there will be no time to recover the corpse of the monster. So the lord of the castle will hire mercenaries to recover the corpses. Mercenaries can be paid according to the size and integrity of the beast at the castle lord. ”
"Isn't the city lord afraid that there will be mercenaries who will not hand it over after recycling?" Ryan asked.
"The city lord of Linshan City is a person from the Divine Dragon Empire. If someone doesn't hand over the body, unless he runs to the other two empires, he's dead! ”
"I see."
Ryan suddenly realized.
"Follow me to the walls."
Yang Xinyue took Ryan's hand and walked out of the city.
"Can we go up?"
"Sure!"
Yang Xinyue said with great certainty.
In times of war like this, it is very difficult for unrelated people to get to the city walls. And Yang Xinyue's tone made Ryan feel as if they were going to Yang Xinyue's house next.
Soon, Ryan and Yang Xinyue came to the outer city wall facing the Kagger Mountains and the Yunyin Mountain Range.
At this point, the gates were fully opened.
A large number of mercenaries walked out of the city, and at the same time, there were mercenaries who had just brought back the corpses of the huge demonic beasts from outside.
The stairway leading to the top of the city wall was indeed guarded by soldiers.
"Stop!"
Seeing that Ryan and Yang Xinyue were about to go up the stone stairs, the soldiers guarding the staircase shouted loudly and stretched out their hands to block their way.
Yang Xinyue took out a gray sign and handed it to the soldier to look at. The soldier returned the sign to Yang Xinyue, and then let him go.
"Look, isn't this coming up?" Yang Xinyue said proudly.
It was as if she wanted Ryan to praise her.
"Awesome...... Ryan complimented, then asked, "What's that gray sign?" ”
"The pass card given to me by Uncle Wenying, the city lord of Linshan City. With it, as long as the place in Linshan City is controlled by the City Lord's Mansion, I can be unimpeded. ”
As soon as the two of them walked onto the city wall, a strong smell of blood wafted into their noses.
Yang Xinyue's nose wrinkled slightly, but she had no intention of leaving. And Ryan, who was about to shout Yang Xinyue to leave, saw this, but he could only endure the nausea in his heart and follow Yang Xinyue.
On the city wall, a large part of the soldiers in cloth armor sat on the ground in a mess, sleeping against the female wall.
Others patrol the city walls.
When they saw Yang Xinyue and Ryan coming up, they didn't ask too much, and still performed their duties.
"Why are you two here?" Chen Lingyun came out of the two-story arrow tower with a wooden structure, and happened to see Yang Xinyue and Lane.
"Grandpa Yun."
"Master."
The two said hello at the same time.
"Forget it, it's all here, then come in!"
"Yes!"
The two replied in unison.
Chen Lingyun led the two to the second floor of the Arrow Tower. Here you can clearly see what is going on outside the city walls.
"Uncle Wenying."
As soon as she came up, Yang Xinyue shouted to a middle-aged man sitting on a wooden chair.
"Heartbeat."
The middle-aged man smiled and touched Yang Xinyue's head.
Then, he looked at Ryan, who was standing behind.
"Is he?"
"That's what I told you, my new disciple."
"Oh!?" The middle-aged man said with surprise on his face, "It's him!?" ”
The middle-aged man looked around Ryan for a moment, then said to him; "I'm the lord of Linshan City, Bunei Colorette."
"Lord of the Castle."
Ryan bowed slightly and shouted respectfully.
Although Yang Xinyue and Wenying are very familiar, it does not mean that he can rely on this to ignore the status of the two.
"Don't be so restrained...... Wen Ying patted Ryan on the shoulder, "You can call me 'uncle' like Xinyue." ”
"This ......" Ryan looked at Chen Lingyun and asked for his opinion.
"Yes! Uncle Wenying. After Chen Lingyun nodded slightly, Ryan shouted quickly.
"Haha...... Very good! Wen Ying laughed heartily.
"Alright, let's talk to the two of them. Ryan, you come out with me. Chen Lingyun said.
"Yes!"
Ryan followed Chen Lingyun and came to the terrace of the Arrow Tower.
"Since you've all come here, the girl has already told you about the beast tide, right?"
"Yes!"
"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
Ryan thought about it, the things he wanted to know, it seemed that Yang Xinyue had already told him, and he didn't have anything else he wanted to know.
Just as he was about to shake his head, he saw a number of people dressed in Karl College uniforms mingling among the mercenaries outside the city walls.
"Can people from our academy also accept the employment of Uncle Wenying?"
Ryan said, pointing to the uniformed cadets outside.
"No way!" Chen Lingyun shook his head.
"Then they ......"
"Those were third-graders. This is their final project - to complete independently, the cutting of each important part of the Warcraft. It's about their credits. When you move on to Year 3, you'll need to complete this project as well. ”
"Although as my apprentice, you don't need to earn credits to get into the library like they do, I don't want you to graduate without credits. Do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
"Master, the magic crystal cannon also needs to be cooled? Can it be cooled directly with water like that? Not afraid of cracks in the muzzle? Ryan pointed to the soldier below who was pouring water onto the barrel.
"Yes." Chen Lingyun nodded, he was very satisfied with Ryan's observation, "The magic crystal cannon can only be fired ten times in a row, after which the chamber will overheat and cannot be fired again, otherwise the magic crystal cannon will be scrapped and can no longer be used." The chamber of the magic crystal cannon is made of special materials, and it is not afraid of drastic changes in temperature, so it can be cooled directly with water without cracks. ”
"The next beast tide is coming soon, if you don't prepare the magic crystal cannon, these soldiers alone won't be able to resist the beast tide."
…………
The beast tide lasted for four days, and although the soldiers defending the city were very tired, they still successfully passed the beast tide.
The Day of Chaos also came as promised.
On this day, Ryan is called "fickle"!
When he first got up in the morning, the sky was clear, and after a long time, Ryan didn't wait for the sky to change, causing him to think that the "Chaos Day" that Yang Xinyue said was fake, and then he went out for a morning run, and the result was ......
He had just taken a few steps out of the small building when a sudden wind blew and then a torrential rain hit. And that wasn't all, as soon as he ran back to the door downstairs, several large hailstones suddenly fell from the sky, smashing a large bag on his head.
