Chapter 83: Killing

Today, Kingston has a resident population of 60,000, surpassing the 200,000 number of people before the war. The population of Kingston Lords is close to 50,000. The population is still growing rapidly, and many people who have only heard the name and story of Kingston are shocked by the thriving city rooted in the middle of nowhere. They couldn't believe that a city rooted in barren and barren land could be so prosperous. Compared to Memphis, there are less atmospheric, orderly, neat, and multicultural elements here, and more crowded, noisy, and dirty. But both have one thing in common, that is, the noisy crowds, the busy streets, the exchanges and bazaars all over the city, and even the air is the same ———— copper smell!

Under these circumstances, it is no longer enough to support a city with a growing demand for land on the current land in Kingston. If there is no new supply of land, it will be a fatal wound to the industries that are now being told to grow, and it must not be transferred to other city-states? Wouldn't that be a dowry for others? Although Anthony, who owned a large area of land in the Salz region, and his staff saw the current predicament of Kingston, and also offered preferential policy conditions, hoping to impress the commercial organizations in Kingston to transfer some of their industries to Salz City or several city-states under Antony's rule.

However, Zabas, who has an extremely sensitive sense of business, immediately came up with several emergency plans with his management team, and got Aaron's approval. The biggest bottleneck restricting the development of Kingston is the land, which is barren and mountainous. Flat, fertile land that can be cultivated and used to build houses is scarce in Thailand.

Zabas's contingency plan was to temporarily stop the operation of the magic suit production line, so that the alchemists could produce a large number of thunder bombs to open the mountain passage as soon as possible. The last time the Amester Stone Mine was excavated, Alun, who had eaten fresh once, knew that this kind of power called thunder bomb was the most suitable for digging mountains and opening roads. The cost is also dozens of times lower than hiring some magicians, and those arrogant magicians don't bother to do this for themselves. Anyone who takes the path of magic will never worry about money, especially high-level mages.

According to those alchemists, these civilian thunder bombs can be used in battle with a slight modification. An ordinary military thunderbolt is as lethal as a mid-tier fire-type group magic. What's more, these thunder bombs can be produced in large quantities, and the cost is nothing compared to the large casualties that can occur at any time for mages on the battlefield. You know, the time, money, and effort it takes to train a mid-level mage who can fight, that's simply a series of numbers.

The first thunder bombs came out soon, and the follow-up ones are also being built in a hurry. In just a few days, three or four small hills and a hill several kilometers in radius were blown apart into countless small dirt bags under the roar of thunder bombs, and the rest of the clear soil bag work was naturally the work of the construction team.

A new city is emerging, echoing the already overcrowded town a few miles away, breathing new life into Kingston's development.

For the Old Town, people have become accustomed to calling it Kingston. Therefore, the name of the new city is "New Kingston", which means that his territory has a new take-off.

New Kingston covers an area of about three miles, adjacent to the Magic Forest, separated by a canyon about sixty or seventy meters wide, and the connection between the two is the gradually flattening depression on the west side of the canyon.

Salaryston is divided into two by a thoroughfare about 40 meters wide that runs east and west. Seven civic squares were built inside, forming seven squares with different functional characteristics. Unlike Kingston, where there are many pubs and inns, the new town is a complete gathering place of commerce and services, and although the old city is still thriving in service and commerce, under the conscious guidance of Zabas, various business organizations have gradually begun to move to the new town.

On the west side of the avenue is an administrative square of ten acres, where the newly built lord's mansion is located. Kingston, full of legends of overnight riches, has also spawned two enduring and drunken industries: brothels and casinos.

Whether it is a mercenary who has been paid for the end of the mission, or a rich man who spends a lot of money to win a smile, or the children of a famous family, they can all be found on these occasions.

Before night falls, a noisy noise is already coming from a tavern next to the administrative square, which caters to socially high-ranking consumers such as aristocrats and wealthy merchants. Many middle and high-ranking business organizations and nobles from the Salz region have already come to report here early. They punched loudly and drank heavily, these sanctimonious and gentlemanly guys on weekdays were here to wander around, kneading the crisp breasts and buttocks of ** with one hand, grabbing the wine glass rippling with wine with the other, and talking foul language in their mouths.

On the second floor of the tavern, by a window facing the street, sat three men and one woman. Unlike the rest of the tavern, the four of them ate their snacks in great silence, spending most of their time looking out the window around the Lord's Mansion, except for the occasional whispered conversation.

The tavern has four floors and is one of the few civilian high-rise buildings in the entire Salz region.

The foul language that came down from time to time through the floor from upstairs and downstairs made the only woman at this table frown, and said to the oldest middle-aged man sitting opposite with some disgust: "Commander, we have been guarding here for three days in a row and have not found a target, so it is better to retreat temporarily!"

The woman's ears are narrower and pointier than those of ordinary people, and she is clearly an elf.

A man sitting next to her, who was also an elf, also agreed: "Leader, Haiya is right. There isn't much time left until the employer has given us, so it's better to rest early tonight and get enough of the spirits to kill him early tomorrow morning when he goes out......!

The regimental commander raised his voice a little angrily, and said: "Shut up, what nonsense! According to the intelligence, the target has often supervised the work around the eastern wall of the new city during this time, which is exactly the same as what we saw, but there are not many civilians nearby, and there are many guards, so it is difficult for us to succeed. However, I've observed that the target doesn't bring too many guards with them when they return to their mansion every day, which is the easiest time for us to get started. ”

"But Commander, we can't just wait here all the time, in case the target doesn't live in the new city these days, then we don't have much time. The burly warrior sitting next to the regimental commander said worriedly.

These four belong to a killer organization in Memphis City, but they also work privately and earn some commission fees like mercenaries. I can't help it, who makes prices skyrocket now, and I'm not as rich as the fat bastards next to me!

"Don't worry, Quinn. Today, the target has been busy working on the eastern city wall for a long day, and now that it is so late, he will definitely return here. Sharpen your axe, and cut off his head for me in a moment, hehe!" said the regimental commander with great ambition.

The four of them ordered a few more dishes and fruit wine with low alcohol content and ate slowly, and waited for a long time to see that it was almost late at night, and suddenly the female elf shouted: "It's coming!"

The other three threw themselves to the window to take a look, and their faces showed a few obvious hints of joy at the same time. I saw a gust of wind suddenly sound in the sky above the spacious avenue, and a shadow more than seven meters long fell from the sky, and the cold glow of the moonlight pulled the shadow of the shadow that resembled a demon dragon to the old elder.

"Guys, get ready. I believe that I don't need to repeat the specific actions, everyone should go all out, I believe this goal will not be too difficult. The regimental commander excitedly clenched the dagger hidden at the sides of his feet, and added a few slightly dry lips before whispering.

Regarding the name and deeds of the target, the four of them can be said to be familiar. A soldier who walked shit in the Shining Fortress and survived his death gained a knighthood and a territory, and then discovered the Amethy Stone Mine in his own territory, and relied on this to make his fortune. Eighth-level combat power, occupation unknown, cultivating dark power, can summon an eighth-level manticore, and there is an undead servant by his side.

That's all they know so far, but it's enough for them, it won't be too difficult to complete this task with the strength of four people, and the reward is extremely rich, the employer already has 500,000 Orray for the first deposit alone, and 3 million Orray after completing the task.

The identity of the employer is mysterious, and the men only vaguely guessed that it might be from the Memphis area. With such a generous offer, the employer's background must be extraordinary, and there must be some kind of bitter hatred with the target.

Aaron jumped off the Shadow Phantom and gently patted the Shadow Phantom's flesh wings before sending it back to the Underworld. This Shadow Phantom was discovered by Aaron near the Chaos Crystal Mine, and was later subdued by Aaron as his usual riding pet, plus the benefits of the Sonic Attack of the Shadow Phantom, it is not useless in case of any battle.

Immediately behind him was a ninth-level corpse demon that had transformed into a demonic attribute, and its burly body compared to Aaron made it "equal in beauty and strength"! The two zombie minions were now guarding the normal mining of the Chaos Crystal Ore at the border without being around.

The construction of the new city exhausted Aaron, the town of Kingston was an unfortified city without walls, and many of the planning projects at that time were in charge of Zabas and others, and Aaron had not yet experienced the hard work of building the city. Now that he can't spare the energy to be here in New Kingston, Allen, who is in charge of it, now knows that this is not an easy job. All kinds of unexpected accidents emerge one after another, and they are almost annoying to death.

If it weren't for the fact that his physical strength and mental strength were different from ordinary people, I'm afraid that Aaron would have fallen down a long time ago.
