Chapter 157: Standard Image

Walking out of the valley road, whether it was Nilou and Zana, old Warren and others, and even the knights, they all came to the small area of the valley plain where Hill City was located for the first time.

They saw that the plain was about thirty or forty square kilometers, surrounded by bare black granite mountains and emerald green hills full of plants.

The land of the small plain is crawling with rivers like blood vessels, among which three wide rivers and countless small streams one step wide flow slowly on the rectangular fertile land.

There are also a few small villages with only a few wooden houses scattered among the vibrant fields, and at the end of the fertile fields is a hill with a strange shape, and a small city on the hill.

Originally, everything around them seemed so beautiful, but at this moment, after a closer look, they found that the scene in the small plain after the war was like a sea of swords and fire in the eighteenth layer of hell, filled with an atmosphere of despair and fear.

The small villages that were once cosy and scattered in the fields have now been eroded by fire, and the villages are full of burned wooden houses.

Similarly, the snowy orc barracks that surrounded the hills, which were originally filled with neat white military tents, were now in ruins, most of which were burned to ashes, leaving only wooden fences that had not yet been extinguished, still flowing in the breeze.

The patches of fertile fields are covered with countless circles of large circular pits of different sizes and depths, some of which are lonely in an area, and some of which are connected by seven or eight of them. It's a bit like a hidden pit, in every big pit. It's all black, scorched, obviously. These craters were blown out.

Inside and outside the pit, there are the corpses of the snowy orcs everywhere, most of the corpses were killed, and the bodies were full of scorched marks, and what is even more terrifying is that almost every corpse is incomplete, some are missing an arm, some are missing two, and some are missing the lower half of their bodies. Some of their heads were blown up, and some even had only one hand left......

Along a gravel avenue sandwiched between two square fields, the team headed towards Hill City, the path under their feet, which was supposed to be earthy yellow, but now, it was stained red by blood. It was covered with broken weapons, armor, and various slimy corpse parts.

Inadvertently, many people found that several streams in the small plain were blocked by corpses. In those places, a circle of puddles that are not too big is magically formed, and it is scary. The water in the puddle is blood-red. I don't know, it's left in the pit. Is it blood or water.

"Quack, quack, quack......" Countless vultures, happily flapping their wings and screaming excitedly, circled around the small plain, some had begun to gnaw at the charred corpses on the ground, and some were still looking for their own place to eat, anyway, every vulture knew that today, they would be able to eat a full meal.

In addition to Wang Xu's subordinates, the rest of the people, the more they walked forward, the more complicated their thoughts became, looking at the tragic hell around them, they didn't know whether they admired Wang Xu, or feared Wang Xu, some people slowly understood their own thoughts, they understood, perhaps, fear and admiration are one, and they admired him because they were afraid of Wang Xu.

Every few steps, old Warren had to look up at Wang Xu, and his eyes swept out inexplicable glances, at this moment, even old Warren didn't know how he should look at Wang Xu.

Old Warren, who has lived for more than a hundred years, has participated in hundreds of wars, but he has never seen such a strange war.

From the dense corpses around, old Warren judged that at least thirty or forty thousand people had died here, but he clearly knew that Wang Xu had killed so many people in less than an hour, how did he do it, and what were the countless pits left behind by these explosions, could it be that Wang Xu had buried countless alchemy items that could explode in this underground?

Although old Warren's brain was full of all kinds of questions, he didn't dare to ask Wang Xu, he was afraid, really afraid, at this moment, he made up his mind, he must stay away from Wang Xu, and he had to be separated from him when he went to the city, otherwise, if he accidentally offended him, then the death of his own people would only be a matter of moments.

Halfway through the journey, they found a troop of cavalry coming out of the city, and the number was about fifty.

Just when the others were attracted by the cavalry, there was a "......", and in less than a second, Wang Xu changed his clothes.

Originally, he was dressed in black, from head to toe, with a black hood, a black scarf, a black cloak, black trousers, black cloth shoes, and a black belt.

However, at this moment, he became a gold, simply shining gold: on his head, a melon skin hat sewn with gold thread; on his upper body, a gorgeous leather sewn from a golden fox skin; around his waist, a pure gold belt wider than a plate brick, the belt was made of gold bricks connected by a piece, carved with various magical beasts, and inlaid with colorful gems, under the illumination of the noon sun, Wang Xu's waist flashed with rainbow light; the lower body, there were trousers sewn with gold thread, and the surface of the trousers was embroidered with protrusions, like a sculpture-like snowflake pattern with the green tendons of fifth-order magical beasts; at his feet, a pair of shining Mithril combat boots, the boots, were covered with gold sheetsOn the toe cap, there are two small golden figures.

What blinded everyone's eyes the most was not Wang Xu's clothes, but the jewelry he carried: around his neck, he wore a gold necklace with a circle of engraved flowers, which was thicker than his neck, and on each of his ten fingers, he carried a ring, each ring of different materials, gold, silver, copper and iron, and each ring was inlaid with different gemstones, ten rings, ten colors, extremely luxurious.

After being stabbed in the eyes by the glow reflected by Wang Xu's body, Nilou raised her hand to block her eyes and roared, "You are insane, why did you suddenly change your clothes while walking, and you changed into such ugly clothes!"

"No, this is my standard image in the city, no matter what, I can't destroy my image of a local tyrant. Wang Xu reluctantly replied to Nilou.

"Why, everyone in the city knows that you are an alchemist, why are you still dressed like this?" Zhana stared at Wang Xu's strange outfit, and shook her head slightly, she was already at a loss for Wang Xu's local tyrant costume.

"Actually, I wear it for the people in the city, and when they see me so extravagant and ignorant, then I won't put pressure on them, and they will be able to take power with a lot easier. Wang Xu replied with a wry smile, explaining his good intentions.

"Then what are you wearing this for now, everyone in the city knows that you killed all the enemy soldiers, and you can't pretend to be weak!" Livka said from behind Wang Xu.

"I have to wear it like this," Wang Xu explained, looking at the cavalry team next to him, "because of ......" (to be continued.) )
