Chapter 553: The City Lord Returns

After the Lord of Death dropped these words, the Immortal Fire gradually retreated with countless ghost soldiers. As soon as he left, the Corpse King of the Northern Regions didn't have the courage to fight us, and he glared at us fiercely and turned to leave.

In an instant, the ghouls and ghost soldiers blocking in front of us disappeared without a trace.

I said to Chen Wuye: "Old Chen! ”

Chen Wuye shook his head at me and said, "Go back and talk about it!" During your absence, a lot has happened in the Exorcist City. ”

He rolled over and jumped down from the fanged beast, and commanded loudly: "Let the wounded go to the fanged beast first, notify the exorcist city, and answer us with lights!" ”

Someone raised his hand and shot a signal flare, and the light on the head of the Exorcist City suddenly turned around, showing us the way, and everyone simply cleaned up the battlefield at the moment, and surrounded the thirteen fanged beasts and returned along the long way.

In the battle just now, although I killed a lot of ghouls and ghost soldiers, some members of the Special Cases Division were also injured a lot. Perhaps it was because of the threat of the Lord of Death before leaving, which made the atmosphere of the team depressing.

I wanted to ask about the recent situation in the Exorcist City, but Zhang Wuren stopped me with his eyes and motioned for me to go back and talk about something.

Zhang Wuren has a very strong ability to observe words and expressions, and from Chen Wuye's face, he should have seen a lot of clues.

It wasn't a long way, and because the dead didn't stop us, we made it back to the Exorcism City without any problems. I saw that the true fire of the sun I left behind on the city was still burning, and the searchlight that could penetrate the darkness was still patrolling back and forth.

I noticed that both at the head of the city and at the gates, there were members of the Special Crime Division wearing combat uniforms, some of them were loaded with guns, others were armed with rune sabers and small round shields with strong electric currents.

In addition, there are also some exorcists in different costumes who patrol the city, some of whom they know and some who do not, but they can tell where they are coming from from their clothes.

He Zhonghua's eyebrows rose slightly, and he said, "Old Chen, has the war situation changed?" ”

Chen Wuye whispered: "After you leave, the Lord of Death, the Corpse King of the Northern Regions, Mr. Ghost of the Southern Regions, and the Ice Tomb have joined forces to attack the Exorcism City, and the other party is determined to win, and there are countless corpse ghost soldiers sent, and the Exorcism City is very difficult to resist." ”

A few of us looked at each other in shock, and then swept our eyes into the distance, only to see the dark underground space, a blue fire is facing the location of the exorcism city, if you look with a telescope, you can also see the corpse and ghost soldiers shrouded in the dark fire!

The city of exorcisms was full of the spirits of the exorcists, and when they saw us returning, they all let out a cheer. Someone shouted: "The lord of the city is back!" Open the gates! ”

The gates of the Exorcism City are cast from underground ice iron, a material that has not seen the sun since its formation, and it is also a good material for making Yin and Yang weapons.

It's just that the twelve cities of Xudu lack a method of forging equipment, and only a few masters who have mastered the Yin Fire can use the flame to forge the weapons they are used to, and ordinary lonely souls and wild ghosts don't even think about it.

I don't know how many years the gates of the Twelve Cities of Xudu have been built, not to mention the heaviness, but also extremely strong, even when opening and closing the door, it takes great effort.

But he said that we returned to the city, and we were warmly cheered by the ghost people in the city. To be more precise, I was the only one who was cheered on by the ghost people.

For these heroes and local ghosts, I am the one who took the Exorcist City, and I am the real master here. Those exorcists from the Yang World and members of the Special Crime Division were just passing by.

I smiled and greeted the cheering heroic spirits, this is the one who really supports me, although they are all exorcists who have turned into heroic souls after death, and have not yet grown up, but to put it bluntly, this exorcist city is what really belongs to them.

In the future, even if I control the Exorcist City, I will not be able to stay in this underground city for many years.

I wanted to have a good chat with this group of heroic souls who supported me, so I could also show my demeanor as a city lord. Who would have thought that Chen Wuye would whisper to me: "The enemy is now, not the time for you to emerge, the advanced command post has a meeting!" As the lord of the exorcist city, this is your unshirkable responsibility. ”

I was awe-struck, and then nodded solemnly, I didn't even have time to recuperate, I turned around and followed Chen Wuye towards the position of the temporary command post.

The so-called command office is actually the mansion of the original refining city lord. Ever since the death of the Refining Castle Lord, this stone building has become a place for the Heroic Souls to live for me.

It's just that the dead attacked the city later, and the exorcism city almost fell, but fortunately, the special case department and the reinforcements of the exorcists arrived in time to stabilize the situation.

Because of this, the mansion originally prepared for me became the temporary command post of the Special Crime Division.

I don't have much to do with this, but some of the local ghost people have complained about it, thinking that the reinforcements of the Yang World are just guests after all, so they don't even notify the city lord, which inevitably makes them feel guilty.

That is, the special case department is strong, and the local ghost people who are suppressed dare not speak.

But he said that Chen Wuye was not ready to let us rest at all, and as soon as he entered the city, he went straight to the temporary command post. I saw two members of the Special Crime Division wearing combat uniforms at the door, and when I saw Chen Wuye bringing people over, they raised their hands and saluted, saying, "Mr. Chen, Director Liu is waiting for you inside." ”

I was surprised and said, "Director Liu? ”

Chen Wuye explained: "Director Liu Guomin, who has long since retired, has reinstated the position of deputy director of the Special Cases Division because of the wartime state, and now he has the highest position in the Exorcism City. ”

As soon as I heard that it was Liu Guomin, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that in the past few days we have been in the abyss world, the special case department has changed the director again, if you really want to do that, everyone should stop doing anything, just pat your ass and go home.

Before we entered the house, we heard a "bang" inside, someone slapped the table heavily, and then Liu Guomin's angry voice came: "What? Lao Tzu's words are not good, are they? Now that the Exorcist City has been cut off from the outside world, can't we temporarily requisition you? ”

Someone said lightly: "Director Liu, this war has nothing to do with us. We are willing to keep our promise and hand over all 5,000 magic weapons to you, but that doesn't mean we have to fight for you. ”

I can hear this man as soon as he speaks, old man smoke! I was the one who passed on the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique to him in the first place, and then let them get out of the abyss and come to the Exorcism City.

When they came up, they were just in time for the dead to besiege the city, and under the chaos of the war, they couldn't leave the exorcism city at all, so they simply camped here.

According to the previous agreement, the Abyss Elders are indeed subject to the control of the Special Case, but it really does not say that they must participate in the battle and fight for the living.

It is estimated that Liu Guomin did not have enough manpower, so he thought of using this group of old men from the abyss. You must know that although they are old, they are all old monsters who have lived for thousands of years, and once they are united, they are definitely a force to be reckoned with.

It's just that the old man doesn't eat oil and salt, and he doesn't agree to get involved in the war. Think about it, they have worked hard, struggled for thousands of years to finally get out of the endless abyss, if they accidentally die here, who to reason?

I saw that Liu Guomin still wanted to be angry, so I coughed deliberately. The guards guarding the door shouted, "Report! Mr. Chen Wuye is back! ”

Liu Guomin replied crisply: "Yes, please!" ”

Chen Wuye stepped in and said, "Deputy Director Liu, the people have brought it back." ”

He dodged sideways, and then I, Zhang Wuren, He Zhonghua, and the underworld stood at the door.

As soon as the four of us appeared, the old man, who had just looked indifferent and didn't eat oil and salt, immediately got up from the chair in a hurry and said loudly, "Mr. Zhang Wuxin, you are back." ”

I ignored the old man, but glanced around. I saw that a temporary conference table had been set up in the conference room, and around the table, there were three or four members of the Special Crime Division wearing combat uniforms, as well as five or six older exorcists.

In addition to this, there is also the old man of the smoke and an old man of the abyss who he doesn't know sitting in it.

Seeing us come in, Liu Guomin and the others didn't feel anything, but the old man Yan and another old man in the abyss immediately stood up from the table, their faces were shocked, and they said respectfully: "Mr. Zhang Wuxin, you are back!" ”

Seeing these two abyssal old men being so respectful to me, where did Liu Guomin not know why? We must have done something under the abyss that scared him, so he was afraid of me from the bottom of his heart.

I looked indifferent and nodded slightly: "What?" I heard Deputy Director Liu say, aren't you very honest here lately? ”

The old man hurriedly said, "That's not the case! We and the other abyss refugees came to the Exorcism City exactly according to the original agreement! Absolutely you didn't do anything out of the ordinary! ”

My face soothed, and I said with a smile: "As for me, I am a person who abides by the rules, and I will definitely spare no effort to do what I promised you." The Special Crimes Division doesn't force you to do anything, you know? ”

The old man was overjoyed and said, "The Special Case Office won't force us to go out of the city to fight?" ”

I nodded and said, "That's right! The Special Crimes Division will never force you to go out of the city to fight! You are free to do whatever you want! ”

In order to verify the authority of my words, I smiled at Liu Guomin: "Isn't it? Director Liu? ”

Liu Guomin frowned slightly, and Buku and the others also exchanged heads, full of suspicion when they looked at me. But out of trust in me, they still didn't say a word, but nodded slightly in approval.

The old man saw Liu Guomin nodding, where did he dare to have the slightest suspicion? He hurriedly bent down and bowed: "Mr. Zhang is well aware of the righteousness, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the one hundred and eight abyss refugees in the Thirteen Villages of the Ninth District!" ”

I waved my hand: "Don't rush to thank you yet, I promise that the Special Case Department will not force you to do anything, but you should know that the Exorcist City is our city, right?" ”

Old Man Yan smiled: "Of course it's your city, that's undeniable, and I and other abyss refugees won't have the idea of taking the city......

I interrupted him and said, "Since it's our city, you live here, you have to pay rent, right?" Also, it's a time of war, and there is a shortage of supplies, so if you want to recover your body, you don't have to eat our military rations and drinking water, right? These things are transported from above to the Exorcism City, and the shipping cost alone is an astronomical amount. ”

"I'm a very talkative person, let's be the same thing, Director Liu, please calculate, how much is the rent and food expenses, plus crowd management fees?"
