The sun gradually rose, and as time slowly passed, it finally ...... The sun had risen in the sky, and it was noon, and after a whole night, it finally ...... At noon, the last mercenary collapsed beside me in pain......

It's not that I don't want to let them go, but I know that I can't do this, I can't give the enemy this problem, I want everyone to know that if you want to move the Phantom City, you have to think about the consequences!

The purple-red blood, sticky to the bluestone slabs of the street, under the noon sun, gradually a thousand tears rose, exuding a smoky smell, smelling nauseous!

Corpses, weirdly twisted, all the streets and corners of the city, are full of corpses full of wounds, some of the corpses are not dead, they are still convulsing, and there is still blood flowing from the wounds......

When the original inhabitants of the Phantom City, as well as the tens of thousands of slaves came out of the abandoned mine, what they saw was the scene in front of them, along the streets, countless corpses lay on the streets, especially in the small square, and at the gate of the city, the corpses were piled up into hills, the blood was gathered into rivers, and everywhere was the groans of the enemies who were still not dead, although the blazing sun was in the sky, but everyone felt the cold to the bone, this is still the world, this is simply hell!

Finally...... Everyone gathered in the small square in front of the city gate, and on the small square, as well as on the surrounding streets, and at the city gate a hundred meters away from here, the blood of two or three thousand corpses gathered here, and on the entire ground, there was a thick blood water ten centimeters deep!

Looking at the blood under their feet, and the corpses soaked in the blood water, all the people held their breath, they knew that all this was made by the city lord, and their city lord came back to rescue them!

Smack...... Smack...... Smack......

At this moment, a footstep sounded, stepping on the blood on the ground and walking towards the small square, and when everyone turned their heads in amazement, they saw four blood-red blurred figures, walking towards the small square with blood waves!

Suck!

Looking at the few figures that seemed to have come out of hell, everyone couldn't help but gasp, their eyes locked on the five figures, and watched them slowly walk onto the stone platform in the center of the small square.

Bah!

Taking out the sweat towel from my arms, I wiped my face vigorously, wiping off the blood mixed with sweat on my face, but I didn't expect that the blood, which was close to drying up, stubbornly stuck to my face.

The killing has come to an end, and I don't care if I'm disgusted or not, I turned my head and looked around, at this moment...... The small square was already crowded with people, and tens of thousands of people almost filled the small square.

Smiling slightly, I raised my right arm slightly, and shouted: "People of Phantom City, I am your Yicheng Lord!

Oh, oh, oh......

Hearing my voice, everyone was silent for a moment, and then the next moment...... Everyone shouted frantically, cheered, and jumped, and if you look closely, you will find that everyone's eyes are full of tears, and the more emotional people have already burst into tears.

Stretching out his hands slightly, he pressed them down, signaling everyone to calm down, and seeing my movements, everyone gradually stopped cheering, and looked at me excitedly, waiting for me to continue talking.

Smiling at everyone, I continued: "I know everyone is excited, but now there is something more important to do, everyone sees, the invaders, have been completely exterminated by the five of us, and now...... Everyone must carry away the corpses as soon as possible and bury them to avoid the occurrence of the epidemic, so let's act immediately, gather all the corpses, and burn them together!

Roar!

With my order, all the people went into action, and more than 10,000 strong laborers scattered around, dragging the corpses one by one, and rushing out of the city gate according to my instructions!

Looking at the people who rushed to a stone platform with a diameter of hundreds of meters outside the city like a river, dragging the corpses, I couldn't help but laugh, since I took over the Phantom City, this is the second time someone has invaded us, the same thing, I definitely don't want the second time, the development of a city, the most important foundation, is stability and unity, if even the sense of security is not satisfied, how can everyone be in the mood to develop the city?

Thinking of this, I summoned a dozen strong samurai to come over, gave them large swords, and ordered them to cut off the heads of all the corpses.

Although I didn't understand why I did this, a dozen strong guys did not hesitate at all, and struggled to decapitate the dragged corpses one by one, and then threw all the heads on the stone platform according to my instructions!

With the efforts of tens of thousands of people, more than 4,000 corpses were quickly carried out of the city, and at the same time, the city began to be cleaned up, cleaning the ground and walls of the bloodstains, and trying to restore the city to its original appearance!

Subsequently, all the corpses were piled up together, and then ...... More than a dozen fire guards continued to shoot fireballs at the corpse pile, and after a while, the entire corpse pile burned violently, and the thick black smoke reached the sky, even if it was hundreds of miles away.

Command the ten holy guards to continue to add fire, and I will command hundreds of strong men with craftsman skills, and begin to pile up those severed heads, I will pile up a skull tower to warn those who try to disadvantage the Phantom City, before they invade the Phantom City, this huge tower made entirely of skeletons, will give them the best warning!

At ten o'clock in the evening, all the corpses finally burned into ashes, and the wind blew, the black ashes fluttered in the wind, and under the blood-colored sunset, everything looked so gloomy and weird!

All the people of the Phantom City gathered again in front of the stone platform outside the city, and I ...... He stood high on the skull platform made up of skeletons, and looked coldly at the people of the Phantom City below!

For a while, the whole world was quiet, even the wind seemed to stop, the black ash in the sky began to fall slowly, the blood-colored sunset, gradually falling from the top of my head, facing the sunset, my figure in the blood-red sunset, it looked so weird, so tall......

No one spoke, or rather...... No one dared to speak, all the people of the Phantom City stared blankly at my feet, at his skull platform built from human heads, which was built from more than 4,000 skeletons with flesh and leashes, and at the skeletons on the pedestal with pain, hideous, fear, or sadness, all of them didn't even dare to come out!

"Ruthless enough! really ruthless enough......" On the city wall in the distance, Elder Feng muttered, his self-muttering was completely approved by the other three elders, such a ruthless method, it was the first time they had seen it in their lives.

Call......

The wind rose, and the black ash rose again, and at the same time, with my back to the setting sun, I said coldly: "People of Phantom City, I'm back, I'm sorry...... Because of my mistakes, you have suffered so much, but ...... I have avenged you!"

As I spoke, I gently stepped on the skull platform under my feet and said coldly: "Everyone has seen that this skull is made of the skulls of those who oppressed you, and it is here...... I promise you that all the enemies who dare to invade the Phantom City, their heads, will become the cornerstone of the Skull Platform!"

Everyone was silent in the face of my speech, looking at the terrifying skull platform in the setting sun, looking at the viscous, purple-black plasma slowly sliding around the skull platform, everyone could hardly even breathe, let alone speak.

Yin Yin smiled, and I said evilly: "You don't have to be afraid of me, unless you betray me and betray the Phantom City, otherwise, I am your best friend, and I will never harm you, I will only be ruthless to the enemy, for my relatives and friends, how can I do it?"

Hearing my words, I finally ...... Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at me, especially those old residents of Phantom City, they have all spent a year under my hands, who I am, they know best!

All right!

With a shout, I continued, "It's getting late today, so ...... Let's find a place to spend the night and wait for tomorrow...... I will give you back what was yours!"

Oh!

When I heard this, I finally ...... All the people of the Phantom City cheered, but ...... The tens of thousands of slaves, but they didn't say anything, they were slaves, and all this had nothing to do with them! For them, it was just a change of master, and ...... This master is even more ferocious and tyrannical than the original master, and it has reached the point of giving them nightmares!

If they still have the heart to run away after following the previous master, then this time, in the face of such a murderous method, they don't even dare to escape, this is too terrifying!

After a few more words, all of them, under my command, returned to the city one after another, and began to rest everything, and after a long day's work, they were all tired, and it was time to rest.

However, they can rest, but I can't, so Mario and Rocca, who is still in charge of the construction of Phantom City, have started a high-level meeting in Phantom City!

In the small conference room in the City Lord's Mansion, I frowned coldly and said, "Mario, what is going on with all this? How did everything happen, tell me about it!"

Kindness......

Mario stood up respectfully and said respectfully: "City Lord, less than two months after you left, these guys discovered the huge economic resources of Phantom City, so they ...... These guys are thinking crookedly!"

Speaking of this, Roca said: "That's right, two months after you left, the mercenary group we hired contacted the other three mercenary groups and completely occupied the Phantom City, that is, from that day on, the entire Phantom City fell, and all the Phantom City people were reduced to slaves......"

Listening to the words of the two, I couldn't help sighing, now that I think about it, my decision at that time was really stupid enough, fortunately, everything had time to recover, although the loss was there, but after all, the damage was not too big, it just made these people of Phantom City suffer!

Castle Lord!

While thinking about it, Mario said: "After they took over, they worked overtime to make the batch of armor set by the Holy See, and then transported it in large quantities in exchange for a large amount of money, but don't worry, the messengers I sent out have received a large number of orders in various cities, and these documents are well hidden by me, and they have not found it!"

Kindness......

After listening to Mario's words, I couldn't help but nod appreciatively, then turned to look at Rocca and continued to ask, "What happened later?"

Listening to my words, Roka said respectfully: "City Lord, since I know more about infrastructure construction, I ...... They're still going to take care of me, and I'm sure ...... The city lord will definitely come back to rescue us, so I will continue to build according to our original plan!"

Speaking of this, Rocca smiled slightly: "City Lord, speaking of which, although the people of Phantom City have suffered too much, I have to say that the past year has definitely been an extremely valuable year for the entire Phantom City!"

In my puzzled gaze, Rocca continued: "The money I got from the Holy See was used for construction, and you have also seen it the city lord, compared to when you left, the Phantom City has been very different!"

En'en'......

Listening to Roca's words, I couldn't help but nod my head again and again, indeed...... Compared to when I left, the Phantom City is really very different, so many buildings are uplifted, how much does it cost!

Looking at my admiring expression, Rocca continued, "That's right, City Lord, in fact...... The money earned was used for the construction of the city, not only that, but the savings of the four major mercenary groups were also taken out, and the city lord saw that the more than 10,000 slaves were bought by them at a great price!"

Hum!

Listening to Roca's words, Mario couldn't help but snort coldly, and said angrily: "Of course you kid is comfortable, you can move your mouth every day, but do you know how much suffering we ordinary people have suffered? We get up at four o'clock in the morning every day, and we have to wait until seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and we are so tired that we can't even straighten our waists, and I am almost exhausted to death after fourteen or fifteen hours of labor a day!"

Ay......

Listening to Mario's words, Rocca couldn't help sighing, and said helplessly: "I know you've suffered, but you have to know that even so, it's the result of my great efforts, if it weren't for my pain, let them understand that if they are too harsh on everyone, the armor production workshop will riot, and the people of Phantom City don't know how much they will die of exhaustion!"

Speaking of this, Roca looked at Mario without shame and said proudly: "Although I know that I haven't done enough, but this year, I have worked hard as much as I can!"

Ok ok......

Looking at Roca's excited appearance, I couldn't help but interrupt them with a smile, and said lightly: "The previous ones have passed, and I am not allowed to mention them in the future, now...... We're going to talk about the future!"

Hearing my words, Roca turned his head to look at me and said respectfully: "City Lord, the income of the Phantom City is in the warehouse at the back, I saw it with my own eyes, I want to ...... We have to come up with the money first, and then let Mario go buy some food and vegetables and come back, and then arrange everyone's accommodation, and everything can be back to normal!"

Kindness......

Nodding slightly, I very much agree with Roca's proposal, but ...... If I buy grain and vegetables, I don't seem to need to go to the warehouse, and the money on me is enough.

After thinking about it, I took out a pocket containing 100 crystal coins, gently handed it to Mario and said, "Okay Mario, here is 100 crystal coins, you go to some people, buy more food and vegetables, it's best to set a contract and let them send it to the Phantom City on time, you know?"

Looking at the money bag in my hand, Mario's eyes couldn't help but light up, and after taking the money bag excitedly, Mario quickly ran out, and after a while...... In a burst of cheers, dozens of strong men left the Phantom City with Mario and went to buy food and vegetables overnight.

Standing on the balcony on the second floor, Roca and I watched as Mario led the crowd out of the city gates, quickly disappearing into the night, and the next moment...... I couldn't help but sigh.

Turning around slowly, I looked at Roca apologetically and said, "I am to blame for everything, my thoughts were too naïve, I shouldn't have left Phantom City!"

Listening to my words, Luo Ka smiled slightly, and with a flash of divine light in his eyes, Luo Ka smiled and said: "City Lord, although your departure has made the people of Phantom City suffer, but I have to say that for Phantom City, this may not be a good thing!"

Kindness?

Listening to Rocca's words, I couldn't help but frown in confusion, not understanding why he said that.

Looking at my puzzled expression, Rocca smiled and said, "What I pay attention to is not only the immediate gains and losses, but also the future of Phantom City, and the future generations of Phantom City!"

Speaking of this, Roca smiled and muttered: "In the past year, under the supervision of the brutal mercenary gate, all the people of Phantom City have made 200% efforts, plus tens of thousands of slaves have worked hard day and night, the development of Phantom City this year is simply amazing! This year alone, the foundation for the rise of Phantom City has been laid!"

Listening to Roca's words, my eyes couldn't help but light up, yes...... Although everyone has suffered, the construction of the Phantom City has been much faster than I originally expected, and the development of this year has cost more than one billion.

Although we have developed very quickly, in the past year, the development speed of the Phantom City has been dozens of times faster than the original, and the development of one year has accelerated the process of the Phantom City for twenty or thirty years! Otherwise, how can there be dozens of meters high, thousands of meters long city walls, how can there be such a group of buildings that cannot be seen at a glance!
