In a relatively ornately decorated building in the city of Kolos, more than a dozen singers twisted their bodies and danced in the center of the main hall, and the powerful figures of the city sat on either side. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Ladies and gentlemen, the singers who just arrived at our Crystal Palace Kolos branch today are not bad! they will stay in our branch for a month, and then they will go to other branches of the empire to rotate. ”

"Today I will invite you to appreciate it together, if you are interested in the future, you have to hurry up and visit our branch, after all, our branch can only be turned once a year!"

Taking advantage of the gap between the performance of a song and dance, a middle-aged man with a big belly wearing a silk robe got up and raised a glass to sell to everyone present.

"Your Crystal Palace's consumption is not low, if I come often, I will not be able to pay it!" The stout man who was also dressed in a fancy robe sitting next to him couldn't bear to laugh.

"Where, where! Lord Zhao Wu don't be joking, if adults can't afford to consume, then others can't afford to consume. ”

"I really don't have any money! You see, when I come to be the lord of this city, I can only take the money issued by the empire, and the surrounding areas are poor and remote and there are no taxes, where do you say the money comes from, this is a chore!"

"Your Excellency is a junior earth knight and still serving in the army, and he is the lord of a city, I don't believe it when I say I have no money!

"Your Crystal Palace is rich and rivals the country, as long as there is a city, there is a Crystal Palace, so you are also responsible for managing this branch, I don't believe that the Crystal Palace will treat you badly! My little family went to buy a heroic grade heavy sword a few days ago and spent 5,000 Pope coins, and now the pocket is empty. ”

Although Zhao Wu also liked these singers, he had no money in his pocket so he had to express it vaguely.

"Lord Zhao Wu said it earlier! This is not a matter, the adults will come to patronize the small shop in the future, and it will be good to help introduce some distinguished guests!"

The shopkeeper didn't know what this meant, so he hurriedly catered to him. After all, if you want to make good money in this territory, it is still important to maintain a good relationship with the former city lord, which is also the way Crystal Palace has always been doing business.

"Report!"

While the two were talking, one of the guards rushed in.

"What kind of system is in a hurry!What is the matter in such a hurry?" was chatting happily, but was interrupted by the guards, and Zhao Wu was a little displeased.

The guards hurried over to the city lord and whispered, followed by a purple-gold badge carved with a tree branch.

Seeing this, Zhao Wu's face suddenly became solemn, and he didn't have time to say goodbye and immediately got up and walked out.

......

Outside the city lord's mansion, Ping'an sat in place to recover his energy, surrounded by dozens of soldiers on the side, standing as if facing a great enemy.

"You're the little doll?"

Zhao Wu rode a furious earth dragon to the front of the mansion, and saw that the person in front of him looked like he was in his early tens.

"It's me. ”

Ping An opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and he was a little shocked when he saw the earth dragon for the first time, but he could be regarded as having seen a lot of big scenes, and he quickly calmed down. In front of him, the earth dragon was larger than a rhinoceros, with an eight-legged body shaped like a lizard, a head like a dragon's head, a pair of degrading fleshy wings on its back, and a body covered with blue-green scales. I once heard that Master Kane said that this kind of strange beast has a trace of ancient dragon blood in its body, has a strong reproductive ability, thick skin and thick flesh and is easy to domesticate, it is one of the few magical beasts that can fight against alien insects, and is deeply loved by the strong.

"Let's go, let's go quickly, Master Yuanzheng, please." Zhao Wu was a little surprised to see that Ping'an was so calm, jumped off the earth dragon and took the lead in striding towards the mansion, while commanding the guards on the side.

Ping An didn't care about being tired, and hurriedly followed.

In the City Lord's Mansion, an old man was wearing a bachelor's gown with a bronze badge carved with tree branches on his chest, and it was obvious that he was the only scholar in the entire city of Kolos.

"Where did you get this badge?"

Master Yuan Zheng took the purple-gold badge handed to him by the city lord and asked questions while observing.

"At noon today, Master Kane handed me the badge, and asked me to take this token and rush to the county seat to inform the city lord to prepare for it! The rest of our village should arrive at the county seat later tonight, and hope that the city lord will open the city gate and let him take refuge. ”

When Master Kane was exiled to this point, the Yuan Zheng Scholar and the city lord also knew about this, and of course they also knew that only the Auxiliary University Scholar would have this purple and gold badge symbolizing the highest bachelor's achievement. The last Lord Guardian of the Realm had secretly instructed that they should take care of Master Kane, otherwise they would not have taken this matter so seriously.

"What's the matter with the invasion of insects?"

Ping An explained the experience of the past two days in detail, and Zhao Wu and Yuan Zheng's faces became more and more gloomy.

"If it's true as you say, it's been more than two days since the wormhole appeared, and the insects must have attacked. In previous years, I had never heard of wormhole attacks appearing in such a remote place, and they would usually be discovered quickly, so this is a big trouble!

Zhao Wu was a little anxious at the moment.

"How many people are there in our city now?"

"We are only a small county near the frontier, and the daily imperial garrison is usually maintained at 3,000 people. Among them, I am the only beginner earth knight, and there are more than a dozen adjutants whose strength has reached the Golden Knight, and hundreds of sergeants whose strength has reached the Silver Knight, and the rest are soldiers who only have the strength of the Bronze Knight. In an emergency, we can temporarily recruit mercenaries and mages in the city, but our county is too small and there is no mage union, so it is estimated that there will not be many mercenaries. By the way, there is also your Holy See's office in the city, and there should be an elite team of 100 Holy See Templar Knights stationed every day, and those people are at least the strength of the beginner Silver Knights. ”

As the lord of a city, Zhao Wu still has a very detailed grasp of the forces that can be mobilized in the entire Kolos City.

"Even if this person is protected by the city wall, I'm afraid it won't last long in front of the alien insect swarm, so we have to call for help quickly. ”

"Although there are millions of troops stationed on the eastern border of the empire in the entire Xiangdong County, it is thousands of miles away from us, and it will take no less than three days to arrive at the earliest, I'm afraid it's a little late!"

"Now only by hurrying to ask for help and desperately resisting can we take a glimmer of life, hurry up and rescue!"

"What the bachelor said is true! Someone will pass my order, and immediately the flying eagle will send a message to the county town to ask for reinforcements, and at the same time, martial law will begin now, and all the soldiers will return to the team to prepare to defend Kolos, there must be no mistake!"

"Yes, sir!"

The guards knew the urgency of the situation and hurried to deliver orders.

"Master Yuanzheng, as for the Kolos Holy See Office, please go and communicate with the Bishop stationed here, after all, the elite team of the Holy See Templar Order is also a force to be reckoned with, and you know that I have no authority over them. ”

"This, uh... I'll try my best to persuade you!"

Yuan Zheng also knew the consistent style of the Holy See, and he did not dare to guarantee it.

"Just do your best!"

"Lord Castle, please open the city gate in a moment, let our village take refuge in the city. ”

Seeing that the city lord had arranged peace, he hurriedly reminded him.

"I'll arrange it, now you go to the door and keep guard!"

Zhao Wu also heard about Ping An's amazing performance tonight, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment.

"Thank you, sir!"

After receiving the answer, the big stone in Ping'an's heart finally let go, and ran out of the house towards the city gate.
