Xiao Ling's explanation was naturally accepted by the townspeople. The suspicion is gone. Even Wen Di, Li Tianxiao, and Ling Wulin behind him were treated preferentially.

With penance with him, Xiao Ling will definitely be innocent. For the guilty will surely be punished by God.

To doubt this is to question God's power, to question the Lord! Who would dare?

But in fact, this is just a trick in the contract realm to delay the effective time of penance, so that Xiao Ling seems to have been abiding by the precepts with the Lord, not only the punishment is delayed, but even the pain is delayed. Although he had Jack's cleaver, in this world, cleaving knives were banned.

At this moment, he opened his eyes in public and told nonsense, and he no longer knew how many commandments he had committed; No, from the moment he swore penance to the priest in the realm of the contract, he continued to violate the precepts......

The words for violating the precepts were simply tailor-made for him, and it is estimated that God has never seen such a blasphemous believer as him.

In short, he was completely in a desperate situation, and a turmoil that seemed impossible to get through was resolved by Xiao Ling in this way......

"These hateful robbers, before they died, were not honest and tried to slander a devout believer like Xiao Ling!"

"Yes, it's really hateful to use such clumsy means to drive a wedge between us! The hangings seem to be cheaper for him......"

"That's right, if it weren't for Xiao N, ww ≮ w. Ling pious asceticism, their plan would have been achieved. Be sure to teach them a good lesson! ”

The situation was reversed in an instant. The townspeople, who suddenly came to their senses, rushed to the torture platform, rushed to the robber who tried to "slander" Xiao Ling, and smashed them with their fists. Step on it with your feet and bite it with your teeth...... The robbers wept bitterly and forgively. A hoarse howl, a moaning like a gossamer. It was completely drowned out by the shouts of the crowd.

But in the blink of an eye, it turned into a pile of flesh and bones gnawed by piranhas in the Amazon River......

Even if she is not a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, she can resolve the soldiers by untying her clothes, Xiao Ling did it!

The townspeople on the stage were beating around the robbers, Wen Di, Li Tianxiao, and Ling Wulin looked at Xiao Ling with terrifying eyes, they didn't know when Xiao Ling went to tie such a belt, and it was notarized by the priest.

But at this moment, he seemed like an unpredictable prophet. I anticipated today's situation in advance, so I made special preparations.

Xiao Ling squinted his eyes and looked at their incomprehensible expressions: "I'll say now, I almost took the black blood of the evil god last night and poisoned those holy light horses, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Faith! Letter! Letter! A few people nodded like pounded garlic.

Xiao Ling raised his fingers: "Actually, these two things are not difficult to think about...... The presence of those Holy Light horses in the stables shows that the Juggernaut has reserved a plan to expand the scale of the war; The identity of the undercover agent is obviously also a time bomb. The Juggernaut wants to embarrass us and cause trouble. It couldn't be easier to start with these two aspects. ”

"In that case, wouldn't it be strange to have a few moves in advance so that the townsfolk don't suspect us at all?"

"Hmm. We know this. The three nodded in unison, "Think about it, there are traces to follow." We're weirder. How do you do that...... Not how did you come up with this trick, but. How to hide from the so-called Holy Light. ”

This one...... When it comes to one's own abilities, it's not good to leak it casually. Xiao Ling touched his chest. Teleportation topic: "You want to know?" Okay, too. I also have a few penance belts here, so you'll know for yourself. ”

"Forget it then!" Looking at the flickering cold light of the penance, the three of them shook their heads in unison.

"Really not trying? I can guarantee that strapping this thing to clear the game will definitely make the final reward even more! ”

The three of them hesitated, Ling Wulin was relatively straight, and tentatively took the penance belt. Lifted the clothes and bundled them on his body, without much force, "Ah! Yes! Yes! A tidal wave of pain swept over him. Tears came out in an instant. Thankfully, he's good at stamina and has expertise in manipulation.

This is a bit similar to Xiao Ling's blood-sucking immortal body, which can increase the speed of recovery and reduce people's pain. But......

After the instinctive activation ability reduced the pain, the next second he pulled out the penance belt like an electric shock and threw it to the ground.

His power in this world is called heresy, and the power of the Light is like fire and ice. Once the ability is activated, the power of the Holy Light of the penance belt instantly burns, like a soldering iron.

"Hahaha......" Someone in the distance saw his movements, and couldn't help but laugh, laughing at his incompetence. Apparently penance belts are not something that one or two people have tried.

Ling Wulin dropped the penance belt like an electric shock, and looked at Xiao Ling in a daze, like a ghost. Extraordinary power can't be used at all, and the more you use it, the more it hurts, how did Xiao Ling suffer such pain?

"Actually...... I am a true believer! Coughing lightly, Xiao Ling Zhengse said.

"Hell if you believe you!" The three of them complained in unison, although they didn't understand Xiao Ling's methods, they could still see this.

Anyway, that's how it was resolved.

Oh yes. There are also system rewards after surviving the difficulties

[Congratulations, you have successfully passed on the information that Clermont Town is asking for help from other places, and you have kept the secret of your undercover identity! You have received 300 world currencies. 】

You have gained 3000 XP. You have received 1 Silver Mandate of Heaven. 】

It is still 2.5 and 1.5. However, in terms of experience points, Xiao Ling did not move at all. The Juggernaut has complied with him, erasing his experience gains.

At the same time as the system reward popped up, Wendi also received a message from Li Sheng

They received a heroic post from the bandit forces, summoning the heroes of the three mountains and five forests to gather in their lair to discuss the task of attacking Clermont Town and seizing the treasure of the Golden City.

However, this mission is completely different from Clermont's rescue mission. Clermont Town is an official unit, asking for help is really asking for help, taking the system route, there is no need for the player to do anything at all, the bandits' hero posts, in fact, are to send their subordinates, both soft and hard to coerce other bandit forces around them, large and small.

The weak ones are directly swallowed up, and the strong ones are lured to their advantage, and the team is expanded as quickly as possible. Since Clermont had an unexpectedly large number of troops, the firepower of their attack had to keep up.

Li Sheng went back like this......

The plot has advanced to this point, and both sides are already accumulating strength for the final battle. Until then, there shouldn't be any moths.

The situation on Xiao Ling's side has stabilized. The bandits' side is not very manpower, Li Sheng takes this team back, maybe he can recruit one or two more reinforcements, so that the bandits' strength is stronger, and only then will he have a chance to compete with Clermont Town, which is going all out. That's always good.

==========

Time passes in a hectic way......

In just one day, the defenses of the outer circle of Clermont Town were completely changed.

The semi-low stone walls and pit lines behind which people are hidden, and the arm-thick sharp wood is tied up to resist horses...... Row after row, almost filling the passage below the town of Clermont.

Not to mention the hundreds of people stationed, just look at the gopher-like hole, thousands of people can be accommodated. Stick to the line of defense, if the line of defense can't be held, you can retreat to the next line of defense and continue to hold on, and if you can't hold it anymore, you can continue to retreat.

There are three lines of defense outside the village alone, not to mention the careful arrangement of the village according to the terrain.

But that's not all, in addition to the fortifications, the armaments and firearms, there are actually three cannons in the town, and I don't know where they came from. It was fixed high up, tightly guarding several major roads leading to the town.

From the next morning, reinforcements also arrived one after another. Of course, it's not like Clermont Town, the old, weak, sick and disabled have everything, all of them are young and strong!

The first team had about 100 people, and at noon the second team came, still 100 people, and in the afternoon the third team and the fourth team...... A total of six teams of reinforcements. The total strength of Clermont was expanded to 1,200 or 300 men.

Among them, more than 900 are young and strong, and only a small part of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Nine hundred young men were stationed in the almost finished defensive line, and they were filling in the direction that seemed to be a little empty. When it was evening, all the reinforcements were in place, and then more than 1,000 people buried the pot to cook, which was really a grand sight......

Of course, while the strength of Clermont Town continues to grow, the number of bandit cavalry on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain is also increasing. They came from all directions, dressed in different costumes, horses and weapons, and the only thing they had in common was the greedy eyes of Clermont on the hill.

Before you know it, it's getting late. A bright moon rose into the eastern sky, illuminating the earth as bright as day.

"Hahaha...... How stupid it is that this group of robbers, who do not come to attack during the day, but slowly gather together at night! In the moonlight, the defenders of the mountain pointed to the bottom of the mountain and laughed.

Attacking a city is already more difficult than defending it, and it is even more difficult to attack a city at night. Even if the moonlight is as bright as day, it is not really daytime after all.

The defenders laughed at the bottom of the mountain, and from time to time someone said: "Brothers, why don't we take advantage of the night to attack the mountain and steal the camp?" This rabble, as long as they are caught off guard, they will definitely collapse. ”

"Shhhh Hush! Hush! Someone stopped the gang from talking nonsense, "If you want to steal the camp, you can steal it, why do you say it so loudly, for fear that the people below won't hear it?" ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" A group of young soldiers suddenly realized and covered their mouths and silenced.

The morale of the defenders on the mountain was high, and they pointed out that the enemy was smiling proudly on the mountainside, and the enemy under the mountain looked up at the camp on the mountain, and looked up from the afternoon to the evening, and the neck of the looking up was sore......

"The legend of the Golden City, when I was a child, I did hear the adults in my family talk about it. However, this Clermont Town is not easy to deal with, it is the most difficult bone to gnaw in the nine villages and eighteen villages nearby, how to fight? ”
