Chapter 416: Assassination
As soon as he received the World Tree entrusted by the Wolf King, Lin Lei decided to return to the Bronze Blue Manor.
The elven mages would go back with him, but there was one thing they were carrying that caught Lin Lei's attention.
"What did you bring with you? Who was in there?"
On the way back to the manor, Lin Lei stared at the large bag carried by several mages, which contained humanoid objects moving violently, and from time to time there would be a low moan of "hmm".
"Women?"
Lin Lei's eyes were surprised: "Your spring heart is moved, why are you arresting women?"
"Your Highness, it's not to arrest, it's to please!" the mages said righteously: "If she doesn't agree to go back with us, we can only pretend to be her." β
"That's the catch. Lin Lei looked at them with disdain, and then was a little curious: "What kind of woman will interest you?"
He had a hard time believing that these mages with eyes above the top would have their eyes on a human woman.
"This is the fiancΓ©e of the little nobleman in that estate. β
"He knew she was in the rocky harbor and was on his knees begging us to help find her. β
The mages said, "We saw that he was pitiful, so we helped him." β
Lin Lei immediately remembered that the young nobleman among the refugees had indeed said that a woman had been separated from him: "She is not dead yet." β
He was a little surprised, this woman was too lucky.
"It's not dead, but it's pretty much the same. The mages patted the bag: "She has drunk the medicine, lost her mind, and killed anyone she saw." β
Lin Lei's eyes widened: "Then you still bring it back?"
"Always show the human nobleman, we always mean what we say. β
"We have sealed the strength of this woman, and now she is about the same as an ordinary person, so she has more strength, and she should not be able to kill that little nobleman. β
The mages replied.
Of course, Lin Lei didn't believe that they were so kind, and the real reason only had to look at the schadenfreude on their faces - they wanted to watch the bitter drama of falling in love and killing each other.
Lin Lei is also interested in this kind of drama, but he cares more about his little sapling.
After the Bronze Blue Manor appeared in view, Lin Lei found that the wind wall was missing, and the mages said that it was because Leo had been in a state of suspended animation for too long, which made the spell have a loophole, and Andun took the opportunity to destroy the wind wall.
Back at the Copper Blue Manor, Lin Lei dug a hole in the square in the center of the manor, and then carefully planted the saplings in the ground.
He has done a lot of things and never planted a tree, which makes him feel fresh.
And the sapling grows very quickly, when it is planted, it is only a fist high, and in less than half a day, it is about the same height as Lin Lei's calf.
But Lin Lei still felt that it was too slow, he wanted to add some fat, and he took the same action as in the rocky harbor: meditate.
The rich life energy began to gather in the manor, and when night fell, the whole manor could see the light in the square, as if there were countless lights.
The mages set up an enchantment for the square, but by this time there were tens of thousands more refugees in the manor than when Lin Lei left, and the enchantment was set up to cause Andoon's displeasure.
"Can you tell him to do something serious?" Anduon was dissatisfied that Lin Lei didn't do business as soon as he returned: "We still have a lot of work to do. β
"If you don't have a job, just send these people away. β
The mages have been ordered by Lin Lei to send the refugees away before the World Tree matures.
Anduon was surprised by the order: "No more safe zones?"
"There is no point in the safe zone anymore. β
The mages replied that in the original plan, Bronze Manor was indeed supposed to be a long-term safe zone - but the plan could not keep up with the change, and there were no survivors left nearby.
Immediately after the assassination of Leo, the Demon King intensified the slaughter of humans in the Anser Plains, the core of his plan, and after three days of hunting and slaughter, almost no ordinary people survived in the entire area.
Lin Lei no longer has the luxury of saving more people.
"Your Highness tells us to retreat as soon as possible. β
The mages are willing to assist Andun and the Elven Capital, and if these refugees stay on the manor for too long, they are likely to be wiped out - the breath of the World Tree, if discovered, will inevitably attract a frenzied attack from the new humans.
However, if the assassination of the Demon King had gone well, the outcome could have been different......
But the mages weren't that optimistic, and based on what they knew about demons, those guys weren't so easy to die.
Outside a small town not far away, the forces that assassinated the Demon King had already begun to move.
"Are you sure it's here?" Josie looked at the town with a skeptical expression, the town had no army, not even many guards, and it was hard for her to imagine that the Demon King would hide in such a small place.
Leo was sure: "It's inside, he's not gone yet." β
He had already sent the mages to lay a net around him to prevent the demon king from escaping: "When my mages set up the barrier, we will rush in!"
Leo and Josie waited for the enchantment to be completed, but after ten minutes, the enchantment was not completed, and when they were about to wait any longer, a mage teleported back with a pale face.
"Your Majesty......"
As soon as he finished saying two words, he fell down in distraction.
"Cluck-cluck-"
There was a soft laugh in the air, and Josie rushed to the mage's side, only to see a trail of blood slowly dissipating from his throat, and his throat had been cut.
"It's too late. She stood up suddenly: "Whoever is there, has the ability to come out!"
But the laughter never came again.
Leo walked up to the mage, his eyes gloomy, the wolf king was right, the demon king knew everything about those who approached him.
The laughter just now was a woman's voice, and it should be the moon rabbit next to the demon king.
"Your Majesty!" the three mages hurriedly returned, "We have lost contact with other people's spells. β
"They're all dead. β
Leo looked at the three mages and replied, he brought fifty of the best of the mage troops, and in the end, only these three were leftβthe moon rabbit was too strong.
The expressions of the three mages became a little flustered.
"Your Majesty, our whereabouts must have been discovered by the Demon King. β
"Will this really be a successful assassination?"
"There will definitely be a way!"
Leo looked at the town with hatred, and since the Demon King had found out about them, he was still staying in the town, obviously trying to humiliate him.
"Demon King, I must kill you!"
Leo yells at the town that since he has been discovered, there is no need to cover it.
"Leo, are you here to make me laugh?" A fluttering voice came from the town, not loud, but very clear: "It's your fate that you're still alive, but I never kill a person twice, you give me some acquaintance!"
Leo and Josie glanced at each other, and sure enough, the Demon King was inside.
"I'll go first!"
Josie rushed towards the town with a sword in both hands.
Leo followed, flying into the night sky with the mages.
