It was late at night, and with the arrival of the dry season, the nights became longer and longer.

The wind was blowing, and the strong wind swept across the savanna, making a tsunami-like sound, and the temperature plummeted.

This is the first cold snap since the beginning of autumn, and although it is already the end of the crossbow when we reach the extreme south, it is still terrifying.

At such a time of year, it should already be snowing on the Rocky Mountains!

I remember when I was a child, whenever the first snow fell, that gentle figure would always hold her little hand tightly and take her outside to "creak" and step on the snow.

Whenever this happens, she always "giggles" and laughs to her heart's content.

It's too far, the Rocky Mountains are too far, and the hometown is too far.

It's been too long, it's been too long since I've seen snow, and the gentle figure in the snow is gradually blurred.

But the warmth of holding her little hand tightly in the cold wind, the loving smile, but I can't forget it at all!

"I, definitely, must, see you again, Mother!" Garcia opened her apricot eyes and screamed, and the long pheasant knife in her hand slashed down like lightning, as if to cut off the raging cold wind.

"So, I must do my best tomorrow!" the knife in Garcia's hand danced faster and faster, and her body turned into a shadow.

In the shadow of the tent, the eagle-like eyes followed Garcia's flickering figure.

"Alas!"

A low sigh, relieved and sour.

......

When the rising sun jumped out of the horizon, the horns were already sounding on the shore of Luoxing Lake, and the people were noisy and neighing.

After a night of north winds, the temperature plummeted, the withered yellow grass blades were covered with dew drops formed by moisture and condensation, and there was a faint white gas at the mouth and nose between the breathing of people and horses, which was already very cold weather in the savanna.

In the center of the circular camp is a huge open space, where the armies of the Nine Liancheng are marching out of their respective camps and gathering here.

Luoxing Lake is located about a hundred miles east of Weishan City, far away from the upper four cities in the west, so there are relatively few people who come, except for Torrent City, where five hundred Akabane Guards came, the other three cities only came about four hundred.

The nearest lower four cities, near the water, get the moon first, and the people who come are almost two hundred more than the upper four cities, especially the main city of the last session, Yueya City, this time there are nearly a thousand soldiers.

You must know that Moon Cliff City has a total population of six or seven thousand, which is almost out of the nest.

Among the eight cities, the population of Riptide City is about the same as that of Moon Cliff City, and the other six cities are a little less, almost about 4,000.

In the past, the population of Weishan City was about 5,000, but now, its population is already the largest among the Nine Lian Cities of Suman.

However, the other eight cities are not clear about this situation.

This is related to the relative position of the cities of the Nine Connected Cities of the Lockman.

The upper four cities are separated by about fifty miles, and the lower four cities are similar, so they faintly hold each other, forming two clusters that watch and help each other.

However, there is a distance of almost two hundred to two hundred and fifty miles between these two clusters and Weishan City, so there is relatively little contact, and naturally little is known about the recent changes in Weishan City.

But the moment they saw the Weishan army, the eight city lords understood that the Weishan army in front of them was no longer a fish belly army.

Among the nine armies, the Weishan Army had the smallest number, only more than 200 people, but their momentum did not fall behind at all.

More than 200 people, a big man in the water, all fierce as a tiger, strong as a cow, moving neatly like a person, everyone looked solemn.

And their equipment is also unexpectedly sophisticated, with bright armor and bright guns, long knives and big knives, which are not inferior to the first-class legions of the Kingdom Army.

"Tom!"

With the sound of military boots stomping on the ground, the two hundred members of the Weishan Army stood at the same time and stood in the position reserved for them.

In the center of the clearing, a curtain more than half a person high was pulled to form a curtain, and eight city lords were standing in the tent, looking at the scene of the appearance of the Weishan army, revealing different expressions.

Some are surprised, some are curious, some are jealous, and some are uneasy......

Then they saw a young man with dark hair and lake-blue eyes, escorted by a heavily armed officer, walking towards the tent, his face completely expressionless and calm.

Is this the new city lord of Weishan City?!

As a city lord, he was a little too young.

......

As soon as Gao Ge stepped into the tent, before he had time to look around, he only heard a reprimand: "Are you Baron Gao Ge? Why didn't you come to meet the city lord of the main city yesterday, don't you know that the main city has the status to bind all the cities? Do you understand the rules!"

With a shy chest and abdomen, two whiskers, and smooth eyes, this is the Viscount Beckett, the lord of Eagle City in the lower four cities, and he is also the one who follows the Moon Cliff City the most.

The homework done in advance worked, and Gao Ge knew the identity of the victim at a glance.

"Viscount Beckett, I'm afraid you're the one who doesn't understand the rules. According to the Nine Cities Covenant, in any year of hunting, after the nine cities gathered, the position of the previous main city would be automatically lifted, and the nine cities would return to equality, so that the hunting could be held under the premise of complete fairness. Since everyone is equal, what obligation do I have to meet who I must meet first?, and I don't see you coming to see me!" Gao Ge squinted slightly and said with a light smile.

"You ......" Beckett froze for a moment, and didn't know how to refute it.

The flaming shadow cast a slightly surprised glance.

"Okay, for some small things, don't hurt the harmony of our Nine Links City. "Speaking unhurriedly, with gray hair and a cold face, it is Rosh, the city lord of Moon Cliff City, "After determining the position of the main city, let's get to know each other well." ”

He quietly accentuated his tone on the word "good".

Behind him, stood a young man in his twenties, who looked a little like Rosh between his eyebrows, young and handsome, but with a somewhat frivolous and unyielding expression, and frequently saluted in a certain direction.

Each of the nine city lords can bring a guard into the account, usually with their own son, oh, and one daughter, all so that their heirs can have more contact with some necessary scenes to increase their experience.

Gao Ge was carrying the Minister of Military Affairs, Zhuo Lanama, as the most important operation after the Weishan Army became an army, the Minister of Military Affairs should naturally go into battle in person.

Gao Ge didn't hear the unkindness in Rosh's tone, and after sitting down in his seat with a big grin, he asked, "How to arrange the battle method for the position of the main city this time?"

"I think according to the last method, everyone sent one of the strongest samurai under their accounts, and the one who won the most in the wheel contest was the main city. Boss said, waving.

Garcia's beautiful eyes, standing behind him, lit up imperceptibly.

The corners of Rosh's mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his objection loudly: "Now it seems that the use of one person to decide the winner is too fortuitous and not enough to represent the strength of a city. I suggest that this time everyone choose five samurai and use a knockout round to determine the top 10, and whoever has the most seats in the top 10 will be the winner. ”

"Lord Rosh, everyone knows that in the past two years, you have collected several warriors under your account, and you now have the largest number of warriors under your command, and you have the greatest advantage with five warriors to compete, so calculate!" spoke a thin old man with a wrinkled face.

This is Bernell, the lord of Taoyuan Cave City, old and wise, a staunch ally of Rapids City, the core city of the Upper Four Cities.

"What does the city lord mean by proposing to use the strongest man to decide the winner? I'm afraid this is already the highest martial artist in the realm of Jiulian City!" Beckett snapped-for-tat.

"Who's to listen to!" shouted Boshuran, who was nearly fifty years old but still fiery in his temper.

The news of Garcia's recent realm breakthrough is the biggest secret of Riptide City, but he didn't expect that he had already been informed by his opponent, and there must be a mole in the key position in the city, so it's no wonder he was furious.

This time the city lord of Bos was like lighting a powder keg, and the eight city lords quarreled.

From everyone's mutual accusations and quarrels, Gao Ge also slowly gained some understanding, Moon Cliff City, which has long held the position of the main city, has been unfair in handling many things, and has long made the upper four cities dissatisfied.

If only we could bring Silver Moon with us, then we would know what was true and what was a lie, and everything would be clearer.

But such a risk cannot be taken, if the identity of the banshee is discovered on such an occasion, the consequences are unimaginable.

Finally, everyone was tired of arguing, and their dissatisfaction was almost vented, and they were quiet again, but everyone was puffed up.

"Everyone, don't be impatient! Which way to choose, I think everyone should vote on it!" Gao Ge, who had been watching coldly, suggested loudly.

As soon as they talked about voting, the eyes of the eight city lords couldn't help but focus on Gao Ge.

Obviously, once the vote is made, these eight city lords will definitely be four against four, then, Gao Ge will become Mr. Key.

"Ahem!" Gao Ge cleared his throat, "Voting is also a helpless way, in fact, both ways are unfair......"

"Huh!" the young man behind Rosh, his son Diseto interrupted Gao Song with disdain, "It's unfair to you Weishan City either way, what can you do with it?"

"Shut up. Rosh faintly stopped his son.

"That's right!" Gao Ge seemed to suddenly realize, and said with a smile: "Then according to the method of the city lord of Rosh, let's decide the winner with many people, but I think five people are still too few, everyone will have nine people each, so there will be many fights and lively." ”

"There are too many people, and the number of sessions is not ......," Beckett just opened his mouth to refute, but was interrupted by Gao Ge.

"Either I'll just give nine people to compare, or I'll abstain and not choose either. Gao Ge rolled his eyes and said.

The expression on Rosh's face changed slightly, and finally nodded, and said, "I think the way to sing the city lord is good, I will vote for him." ”

I have five warriors, two of whom are fighters, and the other eight cities have the most warriors as far as I know, and Torrent City has one fighter and two fighters, so the winning rate is still a huge advantage for me.

Rosh thinks so.

With Rosh taking the lead, the other three cities in the lower four cities all voted for Gao Ge, plus Gao Ge's own vote, five to four, and the final decision was that the nine cities each sent nine warriors to determine the strongest in the way of a knockout match.

Gao Ge, as Mr. Key, was inevitably glared at several times by the fiery dazzling shadow.

Although Both and the others were angry, they had to obey this decision, otherwise, they would never want to decide the position of the main city.

Of course, Riptide City is not without a chance, if all three of its martial artists can make it into the top ten, and the players of Moon Cliff City have some accidents in the competition.

The list of recommended parties came out soon, and Gao Ge's name was also impressively listed.

"The Lord of the Singing City is personally in battle, what a heroic boy! Forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the liberty of asking you?" asked Beckett in a stalwart manner.

Everyone in the tent pricked up their ears, and a few of them even showed a sneering look on their faces, Gao Ge was a useless waste in the Golden Griffin, and such rumors spread very quickly.

"Yes, I'm a warrior. Gao Ge said lightly.

Everyone was shocked.

"You're a fighter?!" Becket couldn't believe it.

"No, I'm not a fighter, I'm a fighter. Gao Ge smiled.

The crowd was shocked.

"How many warriors do you have?" asked Beckett in a strange way.

"The nine people who went into battle are all martial artists, oh, there are still a few who didn't have to play, and a few others who stayed in Weishan City. In total, fifteen warriors. That's why I just said it's not fair — I mean, it's not fair to you. Gao Ge's tone was relaxed, and he grinned.

There was silence in the tent, and everyone looked at each other, inexplicably frightened.
