The Duchy of Steddam, Iron Ridge

Tieling City, which was originally built on the mountain, has completely turned into a huge military camp at this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The info barracks are lined with teams from different places.

At the front of them were the army of the Duchy of Steddam, while to their left was the army of the Black Iron Dwarves, and on the right was the army of the Southern Legion of the Fire Phoenix Empire.

I saw that in front of Tieling City, the city wall with a height of dozens of meters stood here, and the flag of the Fire Phoenix Empire was fluttering high on the city wall, although the flag was a little dirty, and even a little damaged, but everyone who saw this flag would involuntarily salute it.

Underneath the banner was a group of troops armed to the teeth, staring at the steppe beyond the city walls with a serious face. Re-read, the update is the fastest.

Next to them were a number of magic crystal cannons the size of a human head, and these medium-sized magic crystal cannons were all aimed at the black hole hole with the muzzles of the prairie outside.

Once they find the presence of orcs, they will definitely send out their anger and blow those orcs to pieces!

Hall had been here before, but at that time, the walls of the city seemed to be only about ten meters, but I didn't expect that in just one year, there would be earth-shaking changes here.

The black blood stains left on the city wall and the potholed ground outside the city wall seemed to tell people that there seemed to be a lot of fighting here before, and the traces of the battle showed that the battle scene was very cruel at that time.

But now it seems like everything is so quiet, and if it weren't for some traces that can't be cleaned up, it's as quiet as if nothing had happened.

In a dilapidated rent in Tieling City, a black-robed man glanced at the patrol team, and only after they had all left did he withdraw his gaze and look at the dark place on the side.

I saw a figure here who was also wearing a black robe, but if you looked closely, you would find that this person seemed to be trembling all over his body, as if he was afraid of something.

The black-robed figure from before walked over slowly, and the black-robed figure who was originally leaning against the dark corner was no longer trembling.

"Hehe, even if you are smart, if you are honest and obedient, I think you can still meet your father, after all, Charles is still very willing to see your niece!"

The person who spoke was none other than the black shadow that snatched the white star from under Taki's nose, and the black-robed man opposite him was none other than the white star that Hall was looking for.

It seems that Hall's guess is not wrong, and the Black Shadow is thinking about how to bring Shirahoshi from here in Iron Ridge City to the savannah.

"Hmph!" Shirahoshi's ability to speak was sealed by the Black Shadow Man, so she could only use a hum to express her dissatisfaction.

It is said that Bai Xing also felt very depressed during this time, obviously he had already arrived in the Allen Continent, and he also saw Takiwang, but he didn't expect that when she wanted Takiwang to take her to see Hall and surprise Hall.

Neither she nor Takiwang expected that a black shadow would take away the white star at this time.

At that moment, Shirahoshi felt that she was useless, she learned from the conversation between Takiwang and the Black Shadow that the Black Shadow at her own expense turned out to be Hale's enemy, so that her arrival did not bring surprise to Hall, but brought trouble, for which she was annoyed for a while.

Fortunately, except for the black shadow man who just didn't let her talk and walk around, the rest of the time the black shadow man did something out of line with her.

Since he knew that he couldn't escape from here for the time being, the clever Shirahoshi knew that for now, it was the most correct way to honestly cooperate with the black shadow man and wait for an opportunity to escape.

Her trembling just now wasn't actually scared, she was trying to break the magic ban that the shadow man had placed on her, but unfortunately she couldn't break it after a long time.

The black shadow man is not a fool, he can naturally see what Shirahoshi is doing, although he has used the secret method twice and his strength has plummeted, but he is still very confident in his magic ban, with Shirahoshi's strength, there is no way to break it.

Since Shirahoshi wants to play, why not let her play enough, as long as she is honest and doesn't make trouble for herself.

They only came to Tieling City yesterday, originally the black shadow man wanted to pass through the black iron fort from the tunnel to reach the prairie, but he didn't expect that it would be sealed there, and it was still a little difficult to climb over the high snow-capped mountains to reach the other side, with the strength of the currently injured black shadow man.

There was no way, he had to retreat to the second, Tieling City is currently the most suitable place for the nearest place.

It's just that what the black shadow man didn't expect was that now Tieling City is no longer allowed to pass through here casually, and some civilians have long left the capital of the Duchy of Steddam in front of here for refuge, so in addition to the soldiers, there are some merchants and some mercenaries who have received tasks.

This made it very difficult for the Black Shadow Man to think of taking the White Star through these to reach the prairie.

The Black Shadow Man actually has a way, but the price is too great, and he won't choose that method if it wasn't necessary.

In addition to this method, during the time that the black shadow man was in contact with humans, he deeply understood a truth, money can make ghosts grind!

He had already investigated, don't look at this Tieling City, it looks like six copper walls and iron walls, in fact, there are big loopholes here.

First of all, there are three different factions of troops here, although at present, they are all led by the Southern Legion of the Fire Phoenix Empire, but in fact, as long as there is no war, the three camps are still working separately.

This provided a favorable condition for him to leave!

And he also investigated, especially on the side of the Duchy of Steddam, which is at the forefront, there is no monolith between them, the eldest prince Nancan and the second prince Aituo are currently like fire and water, but because of the current enemy, they are just secretly competing.

This news was learned by the black shadow man from the mouth of a captive using the secret method of the demon race, of course, after getting the news, the soul of the captive became the food in his mouth, and there was naturally no need for the useless people of the demon clan to survive.

If it weren't for his fear of being discovered, the Black Shadow Man would have captured more humans to replenish his lost soul power.

Now that he has learned the news, the purpose of what he will do next is very clear.

Gold, silver and jewelry are useless for the demons, they are all plundered anyway, and the black shadow man is not distressed how much he spends.

And the first step he has to do is to bribe the logistics officer of the Stedam Gong **, this person is Nancan's person.

The Shadow Man believes that through him, he can reach Nanchan, and as long as he contacts Nanchan, then the next thing will be easy.
