Chapter 152: A Strange War
The wave of spies who came back was the fourth wave sent out by the patriarchs, and when they went out, there were ten people, and when they came back, there were only four people left, needless to say, the three family patriarchs all understood that the six spies who did not come back together would definitely never come back, and one thousand percent were already dead.
Even if these four spies escaped with their lives and came back alive, it was really miserable, their clothes were almost all burned black, and they were full of holes of different sizes and strange shapes, and their hair was all burned out, even the eyebrows on their faces and the eyelashes on their eyes were also burned.
The most pitiful thing for them is that their faces are as black as ink, as if they have just come back from digging a coal mine, and of the four people, only one of them is still wearing a shoe, and the remaining three are all barefoot.
Just after the four spies, who were seriously injured at different levels, were helped up to the city wall, Zai rushed in front of the three patriarchs and more than a dozen union branch presidents, ran to the side of the four spies, looked down at them who were sitting on the ground and drinking water frantically, bit the tip of his tongue, suppressed his chatty nature with severe pain, and did not ask for the time being.
When the four spies finished drinking the water and fell to the ground gasping for breath, and the three patriarchs and the union branch president all gathered around, the spies who took the lead sat up with great difficulty, his whole body twitching, not only with deep fear in his eyes, but also with a panicked gaze as if he had seen the end of the world.
"Tell me, what did you see?" XY couldn't help but ask, "Is it the Elven reinforcements coming?"
"No...... No," replied the leader of the scouts in a trembling voice, his jaw swaying uncontrollably like an electric motor as he answered, "Yes...... Refine...... Golden puppets. Countless...... Tool...... Alchemy...... Wood...... Evenly, it will explode...... The alchemy puppets are endless!"
"What!alchemy puppets?" the patriarch of the alchemist family, Yarman Hall, crouched down, furrowed his brows, and squinted at the spy leader. Shen Sheng asked, "Is it still an alchemy puppet that will explode, down there?"
Yarman Hall, who was interested in the alchemy puppets mentioned by the spy leader, wanted to go down and have a look, but after thinking that his strength was not as good as the spy leader in front of him, and he was so miserable, Yarman Hauer gritted his teeth, exhaled heavily, and decisively gave up his plan to go down!
"You mean. XY shook his head and muttered for a while, then asked the leader of the spies again, "A group of alchemical puppets that can explode rushed into the camp of the snowy orcs, and then, where did they explode?"
"That's right, and," after looking up and pouring another pot of water, the spy leader's mood stabilized a lot, and his voice didn't tremble much. "Or a serial explosion, after an alchemical puppet exploded. The other alchemy puppets around it will also explode, originally, the snow orcs still dare to fight with the group of alchemy puppets, but later, they were scared stupid and directly bombed the camp. Now, they're running in all directions, and besides, the alchemy puppets that haven't exploded yet are chasing them down, anyway. The army of the snowy orcs has been routed!"
"You've also been blown up by alchemy puppets?" asked Yarman Hall in a deep voice, he was already fifty years old, he couldn't squat for too long, and as soon as he finished asking, he stood up with his waist covered, and gritted his teeth in pain.
"Yes, that group of alchemy puppets does not distinguish between me and me, as long as they are people under the mountain, they will not let go, for some reason, they just don't go up the mountain, I guess, it is the group of alchemy puppets released by our friends, because, if you use that group of alchemy puppets to attack the city, then, in less than an hour, all the city walls will be blown down!" The leader of the spies looked back at the thick smoke under the hills with palpitations, and then, shivering on his body, and then, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, leaving a few sweat marks on his black face!
"How many puppets did you see?" Zay sat cross-legged across from the spy leader as he leaned on the battlements of arrows on the city wall, and asked him in a loud voice, "Are there a lot?"
"Many, as far as I can see, at least hundreds, plus the explosions I heard, I roughly counted, there were more than four hundred that exploded, so, I guess, there may be thousands of alchemical puppets that can explode, or tens of thousands, anyway, there are too many to count!" replied the leader of the scouts, shaking his head slightly.
"What! tens of thousands!" said the patriarch of the Engineer family, Bodwin Moore, with a dumbfounded sigh: "With this kind of strength, it can sweep through the entire territory of the Dark Mountain Range, in the Dark Mountain Range, there is no force that can stop this alchemy puppet force, whose subordinates are they, I really haven't heard that we still have this kind of friend!"
"I haven't heard of it either......" Liv Taylor pouted her pink and moist little mouth, biting her lower lip and whispering, "It doesn't matter who they are, since they're here to help us, they're our friends, and when the snowfield orcs retreat, we'll just entertain them." ”
What he said was hospitality, but what Liv Taylor wanted in his heart was to win over, if he could win over this alchemist with tens of thousands of alchemical puppets, then the entire Hill City would be up to his Taylor family.
The other two patriarchs are not stupid, their minds are not much different from Liv Taylor's, if Wang Xu knows the thoughts of the three of them, then, he will definitely laugh at them, these three people's horizons are too narrow, no matter how they toss, they can't get out of the small circle of Hill City, and they don't want to think about it, Hill City is a fart in the entire Loren world.
"I think of a person, if it were him, then, in terms of financial resources, it is absolutely possible to do this, and in terms of ability, it is not impossible to make so many alchemy puppets!" XY took a deep breath and muttered with his head down.
"Who?" the three patriarchs asked in unison as they looked down at Zai, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and when they asked, their eyes shot expectant glances at the same time.
"Wang Xu, he lives in your Hill City, don't you know, he is the owner of the first shop in the commercial street, selling magic potions!" Zay turned his head to look at the three patriarchs as he replied.
This look almost made Zay jump up in shock, only to see that whether it was the fifty-year-old gray-haired Yarman Hall, the forty-year-old wrinkled Badwin Moore, and the twenty-five-year-old Liv Taylor, who was as beautiful as an angel, all stared at him, and their expressions seemed to be frozen on their faces, and they had not changed for a long time.
"What's the matter, don't you know Wang Xu, he's the old man of your Hill City, I bought medicine from him fifteen years ago, and besides, he's the owner of the first shop, it's impossible for you, as the people who built this city, not to know him!" Zay observed the expressions of the three patriarchs as he held the arrow stack and stood up again.
"Know...... Meet ......" The three patriarchs swallowed a mouthful of spit at the same time, and replied weakly, their expressions still a little sluggish.
Of course, the three of them knew that their city lord Rio Wharton usually sold medicine in the city under the name of Wang Xu, and they also knew that their city lord liked alchemy, and usually, he could make some magic potions and other things, but they didn't expect that the city lord, who had never been very careful, would hide so deeply that he would ......
"You...... Do you know our city lord?" Liv Taylor took the initiative to speak to XY for the first time.
"I don't know, I haven't seen him come out, isn't he a half-elf, it seems to be called Julio or something, what are you asking me for, aren't we discussing Wang Xu?"
"They're the same person!" Liv Taylor said with a wry smile and shook her head
"What ......" This time, it was XY's turn to freeze...... (To be continued.) )
