CHAPTER XXXVII

Orange, Lord's Palace, Council Chamber.

The lord of the castle was seriously injured and almost completely died, but was rescued by the Bishop of the Temple of Nature, but until now there is still a terrifying power entrenched in his body, and he cannot be healed at all.

So far, the city lord Richie has not fully recovered, and the whole person is sick, and any first-level warrior can defeat him.

Brent, a member of Rich's family, died on the battlefield again, the original captain was killed, the original sheriff was assassinated, and a large number of high-ranking people were killed and mutilated, so the management of the entire Orange gradually fell to Hardy, the chief captain of the City Guard.

Hardy is Li Shi, he lived up to expectations, quickly rose in the war, after the baptism of the previous terrible war, successfully established a huge prestige, and became a patron saint in people's minds.

This is to discuss the sudden arrival of various demons, as well as the new and powerful forces in the north.

After the start of the World Destroying War, there was no large-scale Abyss Demon Clan coming to Orrank, but from time to time there would be spatial cracks, and some demons took the opportunity to rush out, with their strong strength and mysterious arrival opportunities, they could cause serious killings every time.

The city guards patrolled day and night, but they couldn't completely eliminate this situation, and there were even patrol soldiers who were killed by demon sneak attacks, and the whole of Ollank was already panicked, and many people began to move and flee to the safer Movor.

The people who stayed behind were always on guard, for fear that one day they would be killed by the demons that came out, and if they didn't wait for the demons to come on a large scale, the whole of Orlank would completely collapse.

It's a pity that there is nothing there is to do if a group of people discuss for a long time, after all, the spatial crack involves the laws of space, and only the legend level is qualified to conduct research, and their strongest is only the second-level peak, how can they see through it.

No, there is a third-level powerhouse-

Jonathan, as a guest from Movor, was invited to participate in this meeting, and in fact, everyone present was expecting him to come up with a solution.

However, the other party has been sitting quietly on the side and watching coldly, his eyes are full of arrogance, and he does not hide his disdain.

For him, it is difficult for everyone present to threaten him, but it is just a group of weak people.

Not to mention, the Hobson family specially sent the family law enforcement team to investigate the truth about the previous destruction of the Shadow Self-Defense Force.

The Shadow Self-Defense Force is a secret force of the Hobson family, and since its inception, it has assassinated many enemies and made great achievements for the family. Now they have all disappeared silently in Orrank, and not even a single one has escaped.

The strength of the Shadow Self-Defense Force to assassinate a third-level powerhouse, there is no reason for this to happen, after all, the strongest person in Orlanke is only second-level.

In addition to investigating the matter and finding the person who killed the patriarch's grandson, Jonathan's biggest purpose on this trip is to secretly force the city lord to submit and become a subordinate force of the family.

As the patriarch of a powerful family, it is naturally impossible to be less ambitious.

Now that the troubled times are coming, the dominance of the Qianna Kingdom is getting weaker and weaker, and it is expected that when the Abyss Demon Clan is about to come on a large scale, the entire kingdom will collapse in an instant, and then I don't know how many heroes will take advantage of the chaos to rise and become the overlord.

The Hobson family is already secretly plotting and starting to plan their sphere of influence in advance, and they don't even mind directly killing the city lord of Movol when the time comes, and establishing themselves as kings!

But if they want to become a hegemon, they can't just rely on a lonely city in Movor, and all the surrounding cities are their family's goals. Jonathan came with this mission in mind, not simply to help the other side solve the crisis.

"That evil man in the north is becoming more and more arrogant, we must exterminate him this morning, otherwise sooner or later it will become a big hidden danger and threaten the safety of Orrank!" A short and fat nobleman suddenly snapped.

Someone immediately chimed in: "That is, now that guy dares to claim that the Death Swamp is his territory, this is clearly self-established as a king, what will become if he is allowed to do so!" ”

Next, the discussion quickly shifted to the powerful forces that were rising in the north.

That force has suppressed the entire Death Swamp from nothing to the present, and has frequently made big moves, first silently collecting the scattered ravens of the entire Death Swamp, and then the army has wiped out the lizardman tribe in the north, and then cut off the black market that has been hidden for a long time in one fell swoop, and stole a large number of supplies.

Now they openly claim that the Death Swamp is their territory, and adventurers are welcome to enter the adventure hunt, but they need to register.

What made everyone present feel the most haunted was that the other party didn't know what means they used, so that the adventurers went in groups to serve him, and nearly half of the adventurers in Ollanke almost became the other party's private soldiers!

The evil man also took the opportunity to set up a trade bazaar, which did not charge any taxes, provided trading venues and security management, and hired various refiners, alchemists and other professions at high prices, using the abundant resources of the Death Swamp as the starting capital, and the entire trade activity has gradually risen.

The other party drove thousands of kobold slaves to build a huge trading area in just a few days, providing elaborate site facilities and services, even larger than the commercial trading area of Orrank, and the ambition was clear at a glance!

As a result of the sharp decline in the profits of the Orlanke aristocracy, some chambers of commerce are already considering whether to contact each other and cooperate with them in trading.

The arrival of the Abyss Demon will only appear one or two in a day, most of them are less than the first level, and it is difficult to threaten the forces of all parties at all, and what they are most worried about now is their own benefits.

The lord of the city sat on the throne, his face was pale, full of tiredness, and he did not have a good plan. Since Brent's death, the family seems to have given up on him completely, and no one has been sent over until now.

The Movol City Lord's Mansion photographed a few people, but unfortunately the strength was too weak, and he tried to empty his power, so that he had no choice but to reuse the rookie captain, wanting to use this to last until the day when he fully recovered.

He turned his gaze to his henchman: "Hardy, what do you think?" ”

"The opponent's strength is too strong, and the strength of the city guards is not enough to destroy him, and it is easy to lose both." Li Shi bent down slightly and solemnly replied.

This is true, if you want to destroy the other party in one fell swoop, you must dispatch all the strong men in Orrank, but ...... Is it possible?

The Temple of Nature, the Temple of Light, and others only participate in the battle when the army of the undead is attacking the city, and the rest of the time they all take the opportunity to promote their beliefs and win over believers, and they will not be used by them at all.

At this moment, Jonathan, who had been silent, stood up and said lightly: "I can go out with the army and kill the evil man who dares to provoke the kingdom with my own hands!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at Li Shi as if provocatively, but Li Shi was indifferent and did not respond to his provocation.

Next, everyone present echoed him with anticipation, and a decision had been quietly made to prepare for a war......
