Chapter 246: The Tiger Guards Return
Under the moonlight, strings of silver light appeared in the canyon leading to the advanced map of the Bone Eater Wasteland
Under the surprised gaze of Li Xu and the two NPC beauties, a string of figures slowly walked out of the canyon, and the two columns marched in unison, marching neatly in the direction of Gunsmoke City.
"Fighting against fate, what is that?" Bing Xue Xinjiao stretched out her jade hand and pointed into the distance
"Ah, are they Sister Bingwan coming back?" Midori was pleasantly surprised.
"It's not clear yet, let's see how it goes." Li Xu stood on the city wall and looked at the situation at the mouth of the canyon in the distance
At this time, the team was still far away from the city, and he couldn't see their identities clearly for the time being, but he had already subconsciously guessed in his heart that this team might be the Tiger Guards led by Wei Cheng and Bingwan!
Two black lines slowly appeared outside the canyon, and the vanguard of this team, about a few dozen people, took the lead out of the canyon and headed straight for the direction of the city.
At the front of the team, a plump female figure immediately attracted Li Xu's attention and made the two beauties beside him coquettish
"It's Sister Bingwan, I saw her!" Midori exclaimed with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go meet the eldest sister." Bing Xue Xin took Xiao Green's hand, and the two women quickly rushed down the city tower, opened the city gate and set off towards the outer city.
Li Xu also followed behind the two women, walked through the city gate and stepped on the stone steps, all the way to the outer city.
He summoned his mount, carried the two women, and under the two fragrant winds in front of him and behind him, he drove the mount to rush towards the north gate at a gallop.
At this time, General Wei Xin led more than a hundred storm knights, and also stood on the north tower, nervously watching the situation outside the city.
"Lord of the City, what's going on?" Wei Xin asked suspiciously from the castle tower.
"Open the gates, it's our own." Li Xu explained loudly to the city tower with a smile.
"I know it's my own people, but how did they come back from the direction of the Storm Abyss and bring so many Storm Marines with them?" Wei Xin asked in surprise.
"These warriors should be the remnants of General Wei Lin, and I asked Wei Cheng to summon them to help defend the city." Li Xu explained.
"This can't be done, the Tiger Guards belong to the major general, and even more so to the general, how can they leave the barracks at will and let them go back." Wei Xin scolded.
"Weixin, this is my territory, my affairs are not your turn to worry about, hurry up and open the city gate." Li Xu said coldly.
He had long understood that General Wei Feng had sent the commander of the pro-guard army here to help him defend the city, and in the name of help, he was actually here to monitor the movements of the Gunpowder City.
In order to avenge his son, General Wei has used Gunpowder City as a bridgehead for the follow-up attack on Tianmeng City, which is a very important place, as long as it is not occupied by the Terran royal family and the Orc Legion, he doesn't care about the players fighting each other.
In other words, no matter which player can occupy Gunpowder City, they will be able to receive the important task of General Weifeng at that time!
Therefore, Wei Xin led his troops to guard here, not only will he not participate in the competition between players, but he will always be on guard against which route the master of the city wants to take next
Although Li Xu can't guess the situation for the time being, a gunsmoke may really spread to the Terran camp based on the city
Li Xu yelled, and Wei Xin was stunned on the city tower for a few seconds, and finally ordered the city gate to be opened.
Even if this group of NPCs does not open the city gate, with Li Xu's rights as the city lord, they can easily open the city gate and expel these NPC soldiers from the city.
"This group of people, it's really annoying." Xiao Lu muttered softly behind Li Xu's back, as if he had not looked at them very well in the past few days.
"Midori, don't talk nonsense." Ice Heart warned.
Li Xu watched the city gate open, glanced at the soldiers on the city tower, and understood in his heart that if he didn't establish his own defense guard as soon as possible, he was afraid that he would be very sad in the future.
But now it's okay, the return of Wei Cheng and Bingwan, and the seemingly large number of soldiers in the column, Iqiē worry can finally be put down temporarily.
Riding his mount and rushing out of the city gate, rushing towards the two columns of figures at the mouth of the canyon, as the distance got closer and closer, Bing Wan's delicate figure and Wei Cheng's tower-like body all appeared in front of Li Xu's eyes.
Sure enough, it's them!
Li Xu was overjoyed and rushed straight in front of the large army
Closer, the burly figures of all the warriors were all in Li Xu's sight
I saw that behind Wei Cheng and Bing Wan, the five rows of soldiers in front were dressed in silver armor and silver helmets, and they were the ten soldiers of the Flying Snow Army they had brought with them.
But behind these ten silver-armored warriors, there were two long rows of soldiers, each wearing black armor and wearing a grinning tiger-headed goggle on their chest
In the long formation, there are Tiger Guard soldiers with black heavy armor and heavy helmets, holding halberds and spears; There are also shield warriors with heavy armor cloaks, long swords and heavy hammers at their waists, and shields on their backs; There are also archers wearing black wallets, leather boots, short cloaks behind their backs, and longbows on their backs
On the top of the heads of these black warriors, there are three big characters of the Tiger Guard!
Unexpectedly, Wei Cheng and Bingwan returned from this trip, and they really returned with the remnants of the Tiger Guard
"Lord of the city, Wei Cheng returns to the city to restore his life!" Wei Cheng bowed and saluted from afar, and said loudly.
"Miss, Lord Castle, we're back." Bingwan smiled and rushed forward
The two beauties immediately jumped off their mounts and chatted excitedly together, and Li Xu also turned over and landed on the ground, walking quickly in front of Wei Cheng.
"Lord City Lord, this time we went to the Storm Abyss to summon the old department of the Major General, but the Great General is already working on the reorganization of the Tiger Guard Army, and we went a little later, just bringing back five hundred people." Wei Cheng said in a panic.
"Ah, tens of thousands of Tiger Guards, only five hundred people came?" Li Xu said in surprise.
He understood that after learning of the tragic death of his beloved son, General Wei Feng immediately began to reorganize the Tiger Guard, but fortunately he asked Wei Cheng and Bingwan to summon quickly, but it was still a step too late.
"Lord of the city, if you don't do your job well, please punish you!" Wei Cheng lowered his head and said.
"You don't blame you for this, you've done your best." Li Xu smiled and helped him up and said.
"Lord City, this trip, we have made a lot of efforts to temporarily snatch back the Tiger Guard soldiers who have been incorporated into various armies, but General Wei is rectifying the Storm Legion, and it seems that he is preparing for the work before the war, and I am worried that the war will start soon." Wei Chengyu reports.
"Leave this aside for the time being, General Wei can fight anyone, our task is only to keep our own territory." Li Xu said with a smile.
He didn't need Wei Lin to die, he already understood that the tragic death of General Wei Lin laid the foundation for a big war!
After meeting General Wei Feng last time, Li Xu felt the raging anger of this old general, but it was buried deep in his heart and not all of it was vented.
This time the general returns to the Storm Abyss, and he will definitely prepare for a big battle, but the opponent will definitely be the orc legion.
Li Xu thought differently, if he was in the position of a great general, he would take action against the beast clan army as soon as possible, beat them to the abyss of the storm, and then prepare for the next revenge plan
"Wei Cheng, bring all the soldiers back to the inner city, and form four teams after slight corrections to guard the four gates of the inner city." Li Xu said.
"Understood, Lord Castle." Wei Cheng nodded and turned around, leading two columns of Tiger Guard soldiers behind him, and quickly marched towards the city gate.
Looking at the posture shadows passing by, although it is too far away from the goal of incorporating tens of thousands of Tiger Guards, but at best, this is also five hundred elite soldiers, and it should not be too dangerous to guard the inner city.
I remembered that Wei Cheng once said that when General Wei was stationed in Gunsmoke City, he only took a hundred people to defend the city to resist the onslaught of tens of thousands of beasts.
Now that he has a powerful army of 500 people, how can he resist it for a while?
But Li Xu understands that the attack against NPCs is different from the attack against players, if the four major legions attack the city, what should they do then?
Looking at the Tiger Guard soldiers passing by one by one, Li Xu fell into deep thought
"City Lord, are you willing to send us back to Ice and Snow City?" Bing Wan's crisp voice sounded beside her.
"Huh?" Li Xu was thinking about things, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words.
"Fighting against fate, I just told Sister Sù about what you said about sending us home." Bing Xuexin said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I promised to send you back to Ice City, but it will take a few days." Li Xu said with a smile.
"Okay, as long as you can go home, it doesn't matter how many days you wait." Bing Wanjiao smiled and was unusually happy.
"Let's go, let's go back to the city first." Li Xu took the three beauties and followed the end of the team and walked towards the Gunsmoke City.
The long procession passed through the castle tower, and under the surprised attention of Wei Xin and a group of cavalrymen, they walked towards the center of the inner city.
Back in the inner city, Wei Cheng lined up five hundred Tiger Guard soldiers in the square and divided them into four squads.
Li Xu stood in front of the team and added all these soldiers to the City Guard, and in the blink of an eye, all the five hundred soldiers were shrouded in a halo, and the Tiger Guard logo above his head disappeared, replaced by the words "Gunsmoke City Guard".
"Lord of the city, please give the order!" The moment the five hundred soldiers joined the Gunpowder City, they suddenly erupted in a neat shout.
A loud roar shattered the quiet night sky, seemingly sending the black smoke above the inner city scattered in all directions.
Li Xu was taken aback by the sudden situation, but what shocked him even more appeared, these former Tiger Guard soldiers, the moment the names on their heads disappeared, the armor and weapons they wore on their bodies actually disappeared in an instant!
Looking at the sturdy bodies of the five hundred recruits, and now everyone was actually wearing novice-like cloth clothes, Li Xu felt that something was wrong
Their classes and levels have not changed, but all the equipment on them has disappeared!
"What's going on?" Li Xu hurriedly asked.
"Lord of the City, they are all ordinary Tiger Guard soldiers, and now they have lost their legion establishment, and the Tiger Guards have been stripped of all their standard equipment, just like us." Wei Cheng explained.
"What's the matter?" Li Xu's head was suddenly extremely big, how could a warrior without weapons and equipment fight in the future?
"Don't worry, Lord of the City, I will take the craftsmen to make all the weapons and armor to restore their combat effectiveness, but it will cost a certain amount of gold coins." Wei Cheng said.
"Well, no matter how much it costs, you have to do everything you can to restore their combat effectiveness." Li Xu said speechlessly.
NPC Soldiers cannot equip the player's weapons and armor, they all have fixed standard armor that needs to be purchased at the armory shop in the main city, or paid for a system craftsman to build it.
A set of ordinary level 10 NPC warrior equipment, Li Xu seems to have seen it in the weapon store before, it is a high price that requires hundreds of gold coins!
