Chapter 239 Field Investigation
In my thoughts, I waited for two days, and in the two days, I first went to the adventure union and issued a mission, the task was very simple, that is, to investigate the reality of the adventure group, a city is not a military fortress after all, so it is impossible to refuse outsiders, the information I want, and I quickly collected it.
Judging from the information collected, at this moment...... Phantom City is in the hands of four mercenary groups, namely the Aoyao Mercenary Group, the Deception Mercenary Group, the Earth Mercenary Group, and the Deep Blue Mercenary Group, these four mercenary groups are all small and medium-sized mercenary groups, with a total number of about 1,000, and the four mercenary groups combined, the defense force of the Phantom City has reached more than four thousand!
The situation is much more severe than I imagined, and I have to admit that for the time being, there is no good way, after all...... The people of the Phantom City are still there, once the fight really starts, if the other party threatens the people of the Phantom City, what should I do? It is impossible to ignore it, once I really ignore it, then even if I succeed in taking it, I will lose the hearts of the people, and that is a mistake I will never make.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided that it was okay to be ambitious, but before I could do so, I had to protect the people of Phantom City, otherwise, we would not be able to take revenge.
After thinking about it carefully for two days, I finally ...... The four rookies rushed to the hotel, and successfully got together with me, judging from the calm momentum of the four guys, in the past month, their progress is not small!
Especially Betty, although I don't know how much strength has progressed, but it can be seen from her usual walking movements that her footwork has greatly improved, and the most gratifying thing for me is that this girl is now okay to release the fog, although it is very hidden, but when she looks at her at any time, she seems to be shrouded in a layer of mist, which makes people feel that they can't see clearly.
Not only that, but this girl's brain, probably also in constant thinking, a pair of eyes, always patrolling around other people's bodies, frowning slightly from time to time, and then thinking about what to do, smiled, I know...... She was pondering, pondering how to deliver a sharp blow, in an impossible situation, successfully hit the enemy's vital point l As for the blood wolf, he has changed even more, although he is already a master, but after seeing my irresistible sword, this guy's self-esteem has been greatly hit, and now ...... He is aiming for my sword every day, and although he doesn't know how to make progress, there is no doubt that this guy is the most attentive one, which can be seen from the sad expression on his face, this guy ...... Always looking for the possibility of breakthrough!
As for Alanx, that's not to mention, this guy...... In the past, you were the commander of the corps, when did you fall behind, but ...... Since the gathering of the five rookies, his seat has dropped to third place, behind me and the blood wolf, which is acceptable to the arrogant Night Elves, although I have not seen his efforts, but I believe that he will not be worse than the others.
At last...... It's the honest Mustafa, this guy is a monster, with well-developed limbs, but his mind is not simple, he is the kind of monster with a big man, but he has great wisdom, and not only that, but this guy is probably the most gifted person I've ever met, because ...... His combat skills are basically created by his own experience, and from this point of view, he has become the most powerful of our five rookies.
Looking at the four rookies, I couldn't help but feel more confident, with the help of these guys, what else do I need to worry about? As long as I successfully evacuate the people of Phantom City, the next ...... It's the other person's turn to suffer!
While thinking silently, Betty said coquettishly, "Didn't you say that you were going to take us to your city? When are we going, and how far is it from here?"
Listening to Betty's words, I couldn't help but shake my head and smiled bitterly, looking at the other three rookies who looked at me because of Betty's words, I briefly recounted what happened, and when I heard that my city was actually occupied, the four rookies immediately burst into anger, and they all said that they would do their best to help me recapture the Phantom City!
After nodding with a smile, I took the four rookies to the restaurant for a big meal, and then ...... Let everyone sleep well, and after everyone recovers, I gave the task to the four rookies.
I can't go back to Phantom City, I know this, as soon as I enter Phantom City, I will be besieged immediately, this is the only result, but as a city, it is impossible to close the city, they will inevitably have to interact with the outside world, such as purchasing food, buying and selling goods, etc., this is absolutely unavoidable, otherwise, everyone will not starve to death!
In view of this, I asked Alanx to pretend to be a merchant who purchased armor, and let Blood Wolf and Mustafa pretend to be an entourage, and as for Bei Di, I kept it, and if she went, it would only be a bad thing, not that she was not strong enough, but once the other party was suspicious, let him unveil it, and when he saw Bei Di's appearance, it would be strange if there was no chaos.
As for me, of course, I have to go, although I don't know how to do transfiguration, but I always have basic makeup, first glue myself with a big beard, and then use white dye, dye my hair, and dye it into a white hair, so that even people who know me well may not recognize who I am.
After everything was ready, I told Bei Di to stay and gather information, and then ...... Our four rookies rushed towards the Phantom City together, there was no delay along the way, and at noon, we finally arrived outside the Phantom City!
Wow!
Looking at the city wall outside the magnificent Phantom City, Alanx couldn't help but admire with his eyes shining, and muttered in admiration: "The defense system of this city is really strong enough, as long as the soldiers are sufficient, even if it is a million army, it will not be able to conquer here!"
Listening to Alanx's words, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, yes...... The defense here is indeed strong enough, but ...... Now that they've all fallen into the hands of the enemy, it's really depressing......
Seeing that I didn't respond, Alanx suddenly remembered something, smiled awkwardly, and continued to lead us towards the city, looking at the city gate that was getting closer and closer to us, my heart beat involuntarily began to accelerate, will this operation go well? Stop!
As soon as we arrived at the city gate, the guards at the city gate stopped us with a serious face, and when we heard the guards stop drinking, Alanx frowned violently, and at the same time, the blood wolf and I couldn't help but clench our weapons at the same time.
Before we came here, we had already made up our minds, nothing was arranged, it was all up to everyone to improvise, and now we ...... It's up to Alanx to react!
While waiting silently, Alanx snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "Do you know who you are talking to? Don't say that I won't give you a chance, report me immediately, and say that a big deal has come to the door! Otherwise, be careful of your little life!"
The guys who can be the guards are obviously fine and oily, seeing that Alanx is so strong, how dare they be lazy, while letting go of the guardrail at the city gate to let us enter the city, while sending someone to contact the regiment commander, they know very well that if they really delay the big thing, even if they have eight lives, they can't afford it.
Originally...... According to what I mean, you should be careful, but I didn't expect that Ranx was so arrogant and domineering, but he received such a magical effect, which was really unexpected!
Looking at my surprised expression, Alanx smiled and said: "There's nothing to be surprised about, these gatekeepers are the best at looking at people, if you keep your voice down, they will make it difficult in every way, if you don't take some money to dredge it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get in, but once you get tough, they will be afraid, after all...... Their status is too low, and they can't afford to offend people with a little bit of strength!"
Nodding admiringly, I didn't say anything more, followed closely behind Alanx, and walked towards the city, not far...
... In the distance, a large group of people turned out of the street corner, and greeted us, looking at the team, I couldn't help but swallow nervously, and secretly begged God to bless, don't let them recognize me, otherwise it will be trouble!
In our thoughts, a blue-robed warrior, leading hundreds of mercenaries, met us head-on, and at the same time, the eyes of the blue-robed warrior slid brightly across the faces of the four of us, and the next moment...... The blue-robed warrior shook violently, revealing a shocked expression!
Blood...... Blood...... Blood wolf!
Hearing the other party call out his name, the blood wolf couldn't help but smile slightly, and said with a gloomy face: "What? You know me? But ...... It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry about me, I'm here with a friend to buy some armor this time, I heard that ...... Your armor here is the best on the continent!"
When Li Li heard the words of the blood wolf, the blue-robed warrior couldn't help but put his mind at ease, no longer looked at us carefully, and enthusiastically ordered the mercenary door to get out of the way, and at the same time said enthusiastically: "Since you are here to discuss the deal, then please come in and talk, you can rest assured, the battle armor of our Phantom City is absolutely the best in the world!"
Pouted slightly, looking at the proud appearance of the blue-robed warrior, I was so angry that I couldn't pounce on him on the spot and strangle him, all this is my credit, what kind of pride is he!
It's a pity that reality doesn't allow me to do this, at least not yet, so I followed the team depressedly, and we walked towards the City Lord's Mansion together.
Next...... Alanx pretended to negotiate with the other party for a while, and then paid a deposit of tens of millions, ordered a large number of armors, and received such a large order, the blue-robed warrior Le's face was smiling, and he diligently instructed his subordinates to entertain us well, and he himself took the order and went to arrange the production!
Obviously, because of the relationship between the blood wolf, the other party was completely relieved of us, leaving the city lord's mansion, our group wandered around the street for a limited time, on the surface, we seemed to be admiring the scenery of the city, but in fact, we were just looking for someone I knew, and then passing on a message.
It's a pity that along the way, although I met a few people I knew, it was ...... Those are all low-level Phantom City people, and they can't be relied on at all, so we have no choice but to wander around the city.
Suddenly......
A familiar figure moved out of a building with difficulty, this person was none other than Mario I at this moment...... He was dragging a large basket of gravel with difficulty, moving outward!
Looking at the unusually thin and pale Mario, I almost couldn't recognize him, this is still the high-spirited Mario at the beginning, at this moment, he is simply the most ordinary little old man, or the most hard-working kind!
"Horse ...... Mr. Mario?" After cautiously looking around and making sure there was no one else around, I whispered.
It's a small voice, but I'm sure Mario can hear it at such a close distance, but ...... Contrary to my expectations, this guy was probably tired and dizzy, sighed and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and didn't hear my call at all!
glanced at the blood wolves, and followed behind Mario without a trace, after all...... It's a street, and it's not suitable for talking, so it's better to follow him and get to a safe place before it's too late.
Along the way, Mario almost struggled to drag the big basket full of gravel and clods, big pieces of sweat, constantly flowing down his thin body, looking at poor Mario, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, the former richest man in Phantom City, proud Mario, when did he suffer like this for a long time, and finally ...... Mario pulled the basket to a depression behind the building, and struggled to lift the basket, trying to lift the gravel and clods of earth in the basket into the depression!
Looking around in admiration, this place is already directly behind the building, and no one will notice it, but ...... Even here, it has been cleaned up and organized, I have to admit that the construction of this city is really good, I am afraid that if I have to personally supervise the construction, it will not be able to build like thisl turned his head and glanced at the blood wolf and others, and suddenly ...... The three rookies walked out with a good understanding and took the wind for me, and I ...... He slowly walked towards Mario's side.
Walking to Mario's side, looking at Mario's tanned skin, looking at his thin body, I couldn't help sighing, stretched out my hand, and helped Mario lift the giant basket up, and lifted the stones in the basket into the depression l Seeing someone helping, Mario turned his head to me in horror, looked at me for a long time, and found that he didn't know me, Mario said humbly: "This gentleman, thank you for your help, thank you so much!"
Looking at the groveling Mario, my nose was sore, and I almost cried on the spot, gently holding Mario's shoulder, I swallowed hard: "Mr. Mario, it's me!
Small...... Xiaoyi!
Look at me stupidly, and the next moment...... Mario's shrewd mind came into play again, and although I had a fake beard and dyed my hair white, anyone who knew me well would definitely be able to tell if they looked closely!
Thump......
The next moment...... Calling out my expectations, Mario knelt down excitedly, bowed down with tears on his old face, and said in a low voice, "City Lord, you are back, you have to make decisions for the people of Phantom City!"
Hurry up!
Seeing Mario so excited, I hurriedly pulled him up, and at the same time whispered: "Mr. Mario, now is not the time to sigh, I came back this time just to understand the situation, don't worry...... I will not sit idly by and watch the people of Phantom City be persecuted!"
With my support, Mario finally stood up slowly, looking at me excitedly, Mario trembled and said: "City Lord, it's great that you can come back, you say, what do you want me Mario to do! As long as I can do it, I will do my best to complete it without risking my life!"
Patting Mario on the shoulder, I said in a low voice, "I'm ready to aspire to these bandits who have taken over the Phantom City, but ...... I was worried that they would affect the people of Phantom City because of our ambitions, so I sneaked in to see if there was a way to evacuate everyone!"
This one......
Looking at me hesitantly, Mario said bitterly: "It's difficult, city lord, these guys are afraid that we will escape, and at night, they will seal us up in the abandoned mine like those bought slaves!"
Listening to Mario's words, my brows couldn't help frowning slightly, the so-called abandoned mines, I've been there, but...
... With a slight wave of my hand, I said in a deep voice, "Can there be people living in that mine?" I remember, it was dark and damp, and the air was extremely bad, so how could it be inhabited!"
Sighing in pain, Mario said angrily, "The city lord is not mistaken, it is indeed the case, the city lord does not know, in the past year, the old people who are relatively weak have almost died, even the strong people have died a lot because of diseases!"
Hmph Listening to Mario's words, I couldn't help but snort angrily, these guys are so cruel, so lawless, if they can't be punished in the most cruel way, then how can I make up for my mistakes I thought about this, I thought quickly in my heart, and the next moment...... I said to Mario, "Let's go...... Right now...... Take me to the abandoned mine at once, I'm going to check out the terrain!"
In the face of my request, Mario did not hesitate at all, threw down the huge basket in his hand, and led us in the direction of the abandoned mine......
Nothing to say all the way, and soon ...... We came to the abandoned mine, looking at the four soldiers guarding in front of the mine, our group stopped helplessly, it seems...... It's not so easy to get into the cave!
Turning his head to look at Blood Wolf and Alanx, these two guys have probably been together for too long, and they actually made a tacit understanding at the same time!
Gently stretch out your right hand, stretch your palm out, and swipe it fiercely in your throat, that's right...... This is the action drawn by Alanx and the Blood Wolf Ratio!
Seeing the movements of the two, I couldn't help but smile and said in a low voice, "Okay...... I'll leave it to the two of you, but remember, don't make a noise!"
Miles listened to my words, and the blood wolf ran towards the dark place next to him with a sinister smile, and at the same time, Alanx leisurely took out the golden bow and lightly mounted four sharp arrows, and the four sharp arrows gradually locked the throats of the four guards!
With a slight whistling sound, four golden rays of light, wrapped in four sharp arrows, crossed a distance of nearly 50 meters like lightning, and all of them sank into the throats of the four guards!
This!
In a low voice, the four guards clutched their throats in shock...... At this moment, he is trembling with a sharp arrow, and the next moment he ...... The four guards collapsed to the ground in unison!
I gave Alanx a thumbs up in admiration, and I said in admiration: "Awesome, shoot with all arrows, arrow throat, your progress has been not small recently!"
Hearing my words, Alanx couldn't help but laugh gloomily, and muttered: "If you don't improve, you can't make progress, everyone is improving, especially Betty Nanizi, who is making rapid progress now, and Mustafa, it's even more desperate training, if I don't improve, I'm going to be caught up!"
Listening to Alanx's words, I couldn't help but smile slightly, and now ...... Inside the rookie adventure group, a good competitive atmosphere has been formed, everyone is unwilling to be caught up by the people behind, and at the same time they all want to catch up with the people in front, in this way, a good competitive relationship has been formed, except for me, the other four rookies, all of them are trying their best to exercise themselves.
While thinking about it, the blood wolf walked out of the shadow next to the guard with a wry smile, and said with a wry smile: "Alanx, you are too uninteresting, no matter what, leave me a half, you can do it, you will destroy it all!"
Listening to the blood wolf's words, Alanx couldn't help laughing, and while silently putting away the golden bow, he replied, "No way, you can't let me shoot crookedly!"
"Who's there, what's the noise!" Just as we were laughing, there was a loud snort from inside the cave, and then ..... A high-ranking mercenary has stepped out of the cave!
Seeing the corpses of the four guards lying on the ground, the high-ranking mercenary couldn't help but show a shocked expression, and the next moment...... This guy jerked out a whistle from his arms and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, it seeming...... It's time to send a signal!
Seeing this scene, the blood wolf couldn't help but snort coldly, his body was straight, his body didn't move at all, but his right hand waved fiercely, and he suddenly ..... A sharp cone-shaped ball of light, lightning-like across a distance of more than ten meters, shot into the chest of the mercenary captain at the same time that he put the whistle in his mouth!
Only...... Only......
The next moment...... The mercenary's chest burst open, blood spurted, and the whistle in his mouth made a faint whistle, but unfortunately, no one but us could hear it, after all...... The lungs have been blown up by the blood wolf, where does the gas come from to blow the whistle!
looked at the blood wolf in shock, I haven't seen him for a month, this guy's strength has improved again, no longer as fancy as before, it has become more practical, and the power is greater!
In the past, the blood wolf's combat skills could be called a cool word, super gorgeous, super magnificent, but now, after fading the flashy appearance, the blood wolf's attack is inconspicuous, but it contains a deadly killing machine!
Just now, although the blood wolf only emitted a fiery red cone-shaped light cluster the thickness of a thumb, it ...... Don't underestimate this light cone, he is a blasting energy cone after being strongly compressed by the blood wolf, once it is shot into the body, the consequences are simply unimaginable, in a way, this is the compressed violent fireball of the samurai board!
didn't say anything, Alanx and I didn't hesitate to extend a thumbs up to the blood wolf, just with this hand just now, Alanx has to honestly continue to stay in the position of the third!
With a smile, we quickly pulled the five corpses to a hidden place, then cleaned up the blood on the surrounding ground, and then ...... A group of five of us walked into the abandoned mine.
Tick...... Tick...... Tick......
In the dark and damp cave, there are crystal water droplets dripping from the roof of the cave from time to time, the environment in the cave is really damp, looking at the dark environment around me, I can't imagine how to survive here!
Through the narrow passage, finally ...... We entered a huge cave hall and the next moment ...... Looking at everything in front of us, we couldn't help but open our mouths wide in amazement!
"Damn! This is too exaggerated! These grandsons are so ruthless!" looked at everything in front of him, and the blood wolf couldn't help but curse angrily.
In front of us, in a huge cave hall with an area of tens of thousands of square meters, ...... It was covered with all kinds of animal skins, and underneath the animal skins was the damp ground, and looking at the muddy and damp passage, we simply didn't have the courage to step into this cave hall!
However, since we came, we must move forward, with a heavy heart, we slowly approached the cave, looking at the animal skins arranged in the cave hall, due to the dampness, these animal skins have rotted, and many white maggots have grown on the rotten animal skins, these wriggling maggots continue to crawl on the muddy passage, and at a glance, a piece of white flowers!
Now...... There weren't many people in the cave hall, and when they saw us come in, no one cared about us, and they lay there like corpses, white maggots, crawling on their clothes, but they didn't pay any attention to them, unless they crawled on their faces, otherwise no one cared at all.
Bah!
As he was walking, a guy next to him snorted violently, and at the same time ..... A white shadow squirted out of his mouth, and looking down the white shadow, it was a particularly fat maggot, looking at the guy disgustingly, obviously...... This big white maggot crawled into this guy's mouth just now, so he came out.
Walking in the cave hall with a heavy heart, my mood is getting heavier and heavier, what is the place where people live, even if it is a pig, I'm afraid they won't come to live here! These guys are really too vicious, I really don't understand, in this world, how can someone be vicious to this extent, I turned my head coldly, and I said to Mario in a low voice: "Mario...... Will all the people of Phantom City be here at night?"
Nodding affirmatively, Mario said categorically, "Not only more than 2,000 people of Phantom City, but also tens of thousands of slaves bought by the mercenary group are also here, after all, ...... There is only one exit from this mine, so it's easier to guard!"
Nodding slightly, I probably understood, actually...... You can't blame these mercenaries for being vicious, in order to prevent everyone from escaping, locking them up here is the only way, otherwise, how will the 4,000 mercenaries guard more than 12,000 laborers?
In our thoughts, we slowly walked around the cave until we finally ...... I stopped, and I thought of a clever plan to retreat from the enemy, since they had all the people locked up here, then just kill all the guys guarding the entrance to the cave, and ...... What is the use of sending people to guard this abandoned mine, no matter how many people there are? In the narrow tunnel, no matter how many people there are, they have to be sent to death one by one!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh bloody, turned around, and quickly walked towards the outside of the cave...... I need time to think through and refine my plan, and I'm sure ...... Retribution for these vicious guys is coming, and I will definitely not let them go and order Mario to continue to work without showing his flaws, and then ...... We're heading in the direction of the main street, and tonight, we'll be back in the area again, and once we're sure of the situation, we're about to begin!
Boom, boom, boom......
I just turned the corner, and suddenly I ...... There was a loud bang in the distance, stunned, I exchanged glances with a few other rookies, and then ...... We hurried curiously in the direction from which the loud noise had come from, and if we heard correctly, there was a fight not far away.
Running all the way and ...... soon We came to the main street, near the gates, and when I looked around, I almost screamed, and then ...... Two or three hundred mercenaries, six people were besieged, and the six people who were besieged turned out to be ......
