Abel. Aldrich had made up his mind, and the twin siblings couldn't say anything more. Hensel and Greda looked at each other with unease in their eyes.

Big Brother Simon. Aldrich, along with Larry, the beastman loyal to the two, are now in Gordon's hands, which is a huge hidden danger. But now, there is nothing the two of them can do. What worries them even more is that Gordon has now reached the southern part of the Hayven Peninsula and sealed off the Isthmus of Cork.

And that once in a decade day is coming. When the time comes, Hensel and Greda must head south into the mountains of Wesura in search of the legacy of the ancient mage.

"Judging from the battle in Moruru Village, although they are both five-ring mages, Gordon's strength is far beyond imagination. I'm afraid my sister's strength and I alone won't be enough to compete with him. For the sake of the future, it seems that my sister and I must find reinforcements......" Hensel made up his mind.

…………

Right here in Abel. When Aldrich, the king of Haiwen, thundered, the team of the Freeman family finally arrived at Cloud Scale City, the seat of governance on the Haiwen Peninsula.

Gordon looked up at the sky and immediately understood why the city was called "Cloud Scales".

Probably because of the special topography or climate, clouds that look like fish scales are always fluttering in the sky over this coastal city for many years.

This peculiar landscape stretches all the way to the distant place where the sea and the sky meet. It was evening when the sun was setting, and the fiery red sun burned the strangely shaped clouds to the brim. The whole sky looked like a giant goldfish. This scene amazed not only Gordon, but also the other outsiders in the team, who were also from the north.

"If you just talk about the scenery. It's a good place to be. Chuck exclaimed, "At least this is a better place for my daughters than in the north, where the wind blows for five months twelve months a year." ”

"But there doesn't seem to be anything here but the landscape." With only food in his heart, Rufus, who was not interested in the beautiful scenery, hummed dissatisfiedly, "This so-called 'city'. It's so desolate that I'm afraid that the wine and meat in the city won't satisfy me alone. ”

Although the Hammer Warrior was exaggerating, Gordon had to admit it. This Cloud Scale City, the so-called "Peninsula Governance Office", is indeed not very decent. Not to mention compared to the Blue Water City where he once lived, even compared to the Black Iron City. It's not as good as that.

The Black Iron City is under the rule of the King of Hyperven. At least there is the concept of "order". But when Gordon stood on a small hill overlooking Cloud Scale City, he only thought of one word: clutter.

The city, which was built in six salients and is surrounded by the sea on three sides, has almost no planning. Colourful shacks made of palm fronds or tarpaulins are mixed with a variety of wooden and stone buildings. There is no main road for at least two carriages, and a variety of paths connect the intricate structures of the city like spider webs. The only two-story building in the city, which apparently unfolded without any planning. It is a town hall located in the downtown area.

It was a two-story building in the typical Ferreton Empire style, except for the platinum dragon statue in the plaza in front of the building. But it has already been damaged by the erosion of wind and rain, and even one of its wings has been broken.

"Brother, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to build such a city." Xie Ona's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Gordon shook his head: "I think it's better to find a blank piece of paper and paint again than to tinker with a poor painting." ”

"I agree." Douro didn't know when he came up. It took a lot of effort to climb this small hill with his fat body. He panted and continued, "I think the land near that castle is very good. The terrain is slightly higher and does not suffer from flooding; The land is flat and sturdy, suitable for large-scale construction; There is a river nearby and the forest is very close, so it is easy to get water and building materials. Most importantly, you can rely on that castle as a place to live, and control the entire city with ease. ”

Duro's mention is indeed very good, and even after seeing the current situation of Cloud Scale City, Gordon also plans to build a new city directly in a more suitable place nearby. However, the castle mentioned by the other party made Gordon have a trace of doubt in his heart.

"Could it be that the Strindberg with its terrible legend that Larry spoke of earlier?"

Gordon used his eyes to observe the building in the distance that was built on a cliff by the sea. The spire tops are very gloomy Gothic, perhaps because they have been uninhabited for a long time, and all sorts of vines have climbed the castle's façade. The occasional cool-toned wall tiles peeking out of the green, even in the warm afterglow of the setting sun, give people a cold feeling, as if staring at it for a while will make you feel cold.

"It's a bit weird, indeed." Gordon remembered all the legends he had heard about this Strindberg along the way, and opened the eyes of truth and warning.

He immediately saw the strong aura of negative energy emanating from the castle. These gloomy, dark, death-smelling auras enveloped the entire castle, and grew larger as the sun set and night fell.

Gordon nodded, and his amber pupils reverted to black again. He said to himself, "No matter how outrageous those legends are, at least this castle is indeed occupied by evil spirits. And I'm afraid it's quite a powerful evil spirit. ”

After the death of a living being, the soul that remains in the main material realm for some special reason, such as a powerful obsession, is transformed into an undead, and generally has two forms of activity. They are either attached to a specific object or move around in a particular area.

In Ancient Era, the first type of undead attached to an item often becomes something like a "portable grandfather", providing the player with quest information and even helping the player in battle. The second type of undead is mostly a regional wave-like SS.

This is the kind of undead who have been active in a specific area for a long time. We will continue to use our own power to transform the environment and make it its own field. Fight in this environment. These undead are able to gain a great advantage.

"Let's go to the city first, as for other things, whether it's a new city or that Strindburg, we will deal with it slowly." Gordon said.

The chaotic and crowded Cloud Scale City would definitely not be able to accommodate the large team of six hundred people that suddenly appeared. Gordon ordered the artisans and the army to camp outside the city, and then took Chuck, his sister Sheona, and twenty redstone guards into the city. The priests such as the female knight and Lady Dina are still taking care of Miss Ji'er who is in a coma, and there is no way to separate them.

That's fine. Otherwise, if you let the quick-tempered female knight follow you, I don't know what will happen.

When such a completely differently dressed team walked into Cloud Scale City, it naturally immediately attracted a lot of attention. But whether it's a curious and probing gaze. Still looking up and down with bad intentions, living in this chaotic city after seeing the elite guards in bright armor and neat movements—or more bluntly. The inhabitants of this giant garbage dump. They all retracted their gaze with interest.

"Sister, it seems that almost no one of these inhabitants knows about the arrival of me, the Earl of Hyperven." Gordon laughed. In Cloud Scale City, he didn't expect that he would encounter a completely different situation from Black Iron City. But he didn't take it to heart. The ill-intentioned welcome of the King of Hyven is not as good as this kind of indifferent treatment.

Xie Ona looked at the citizens on both sides of the narrow street, hiding from the war horses under her crotch, shook her head and said, "Brother, look at their clothes and faces. These are people who are struggling on the brink of poverty and hunger. We don't have the heart to bother with the power struggle between us and the Aldrich family on the Hyven Peninsula. ”

"It's a bit of a lack of compassion to say that, though." Gordon paused before saying, "But I think it's a pretty good situation. Compared with those who live in abundance and have no worries about food and clothing, aren't these forgotten and abandoned people more likely to be bought by us? I believe that it will not be long before we will be able to recruit a large group of laborers with a small amount of food. ”

"Will the Aldrich family grant your request to ransom Simon?" Xie Ona asked.

"Of course. My condition had been carefully considered to satisfy my own needs without being so harsh as to be rejected by the King of Hyperven. Don't look at the dignity of Young Master Roshan, he is the heart and soul of the king of Haiwen. Gordon laughed a little gloatingly.

Xie Ona said angrily: "Brother, please don't use 'heart and liver baby' to describe that piece of meat." You're going to ruin the word. ”

The Freeman siblings chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the city hall in the heart of the city.

The building is said to have been built by the first Earl of Stirling, the first special governor of the Hayvon Peninsula, and is a building that is indistinguishable from the town halls of other cities in the empire, and looks quite grandiose. Unfortunately, it is now in a dilapidated state due to a long-term lack of repair.

According to the records of the Imperial Documents, when the Empire had not appointed administrators, all the qiē jobs in Cloud Scale City were managed by an acting administrative officer named Quincy.

Arriving at the square in front of the town hall, Chuck rode his horse to two guards with spears in hand, leaning against the gate and chatting.

"What about Acting Quincy? Emperor Xià canonized the lord of Hywen, Rob. Inheritor of Antero, nemesis of the Orcs, and savior of High Rock, Gordon. The Earl of Freeman arrived, and was not quick to call him to meet him. ”

"Brother...... What's the deal with that long list of titles? Xie Ona asked.

Gordon held his forehead, helpless: "I guess it was Chuck's own idea." Chuck and the five of them always chattered, saying that I am a big lord with a whole province territory now, so when announcing the name, I should be more formal and not fall behind. But it's a pity that those guys are just soldiers who don't know a few words, and they don't understand the aristocratic etiquette in this area at all. ”

It is normal for nobles to list a long list of titles when they announce their names. For example, the emperor who is now in the imperial capital, His Majesty, whose full title is "the believer of the favor of the dragon god Bahamut, the orthodox heir of the Anduin family, Taber. Son of Anduin, owner of the Platinum Dragon, Lord of the Five Rivers, Conqueror of Forest, and the noblest king of the Big 6...... "Balabala, a whole bunch of them."

"Actually, Chuck did a good job," Sheona chuckled. "It's quite majestic to read out so many titles in one go."

"You think it's good, then my brother will help you think of a long list of titles. Let you feel this shame. Gordon smiled.

"Brother, you want to trick me again!" Xie Ona gently slapped Gordon's shoulder, this kind of embarrassed and annoyed look is really indescribably cute.

Just as the siblings were laughing, there was a commotion in Chuck's direction. After two snaps, the two guards screamed and ran into the town hall with a curse.

Chuck hit the horse and ran back. With an apologetic face, he said to Gordon, "My lord, I messed up. ”

"What's going on?"

Chuck told him what had just happened.

When the two janitors received Chuck's briefing, they didn't immediately go in and inform Acting Governor Quincy. Instead, he said contemptuously, "Gordon. Who is Freeman? I don't know. Get out of here, don't yell here to disturb our rest."

So Chuck gave each of them a whip.

Gordon didn't think there was anything wrong with Chuck. In this situation, the majesty of he, the Count of Hypernín, needs to be maintained even more.

"It seems that the situation is a little complicated." Gordon heard a commotion in the town hall. There seems to be a large number of people mobilizing. "Chuck, get the guards in line and ready for battle."

For Gordon, although the Black Iron City is dangerous, it is in an orderly state under the control of the King of Hyperven. But now that this Cloud Scale City is in this city, the situation is even more special.

Gordon had heard of the situation before he arrived in the city.

Compared to the Aldrich family in the north of the peninsula, it is dominant. The situation in the southern part of the peninsula is much more chaotic. There were rebels who were hunted down by the King of Hyven and fled from the north to the south; There are originally people who live in the south. local tribes that are unruly and xenophobic and very hostile to outsiders; Others were bribed by the King of Hayven to secretly join the Aldrich family, and did everything possible to disrupt the situation in the southern peninsula and weaken the power of all parties.

The shape in front of Gordon now is like a tangled twine, and it is not easy to sort them all out.

Well, there's an easier way to solve these problems. That is, to cut off all these twines directly.

Gordon took out the magic scroll, blessed the Freeman soldiers with the brute strength of a group of cattle and the grace of a group of cats, summoned the activation shield, and began to wait quietly.

Xie Ona also pulled out the pure gold sword given by His Majesty the Emperor.

Soon, a large group of heavily armed men rushed out of the town hall. As you can tell from their appearance and clothing, these people are the natives of the peninsula.

And the acting administrative officer, Quincy and his people, were all outsiders from the Central Bank Province of the Empire, and it was impossible for them to have such physical characteristics.

"Where's that guy Quincy? Is it dead? But on the day of the dragon god's blessing, he also sent a congratulatory message to His Majesty the Emperor, how could it be that in less than two months, there was an accident? Gordon wondered.

"Know who we are? You outsiders, you dare to hurt our people, ...... today"

Among the men who had been slaughtered from the town hall in a rage, a man with the tallest build, a dark complexion, and a bunch of pigtails on his head, roared angrily at Gordon. However, before he could finish his words, he was stabbed in the throat by a flaming arrow from the latter.

Before the remaining flame energy on his fingertips dissipated, Gordon raised his hand and ordered, "Shoot!" ”

The military crossbow that had already been wound was aimed at the redstone guards at the gate, and immediately pulled the trigger.

In the dim light of the evening, only a swift afterimage was seen, and the hapless aboriginal warriors were swept away.

Gordon was not polite, and took advantage of the opportunity for the redstone guards to wind up and perform another fireball spell.

After the loud bang, the scorching flames once again took more than a dozen lives. Even the large, sturdy main entrance to the town hall was blackened.

The sudden continuous attacks made those aboriginal warriors completely stunned. The survivors inside the house looked at the mountain of corpses at the door, all of them turned pale and hesitated, and the weapons in their hands began to be unstable.

It was only then that Gordon blessed himself with a sound amplification technique, and then shouted: "Listen to the bandits in the town hall, I have two hundred reinforcements about to arrive outside the city, and I can easily raze this place to the ground." If you want to ask for my mercy, lay down your arms, walk out of the town hall, and kneel before me. ”

Gordon's series of merciless attacks just now had completely shocked the people in the town hall.

After a brief period of hesitation and arguing, the more than 20 people who were weak-willed to resist obediently laid down their weapons, walked to the square, and then knelt on their knees and prostrated in front of Gordon.

In addition, staying in the town hall, a few who still wanted to resist were wiped out by the redstone guards blessed with buff spells with zero casualties.

"If you treated your lord respectfully from the beginning, how could you have fallen to this point?" Gordon looked at the Aboriginal warriors kneeling in front of him and asked, "Okay, explain your identity, why do you live in the town hall?" What about Acting Administrator Quincy? ”

"Your Excellen......cy," said one of the highest-ranking surrenderers, in a lingua franca with a strong local accent, "we are the Salous. This great house was taken from Quincy by our patriarch. The patriarch said that the big house was very imposing, and it was suitable for his mansion. (To be continued......)
