Chapter XVII

Recently, there have been many disasters in Baicheng, and the city lord is anxious about it.

A large group of ferocious manticores emerged from the Black Canyon, and the Black Canyon was the main transportation route of the White City, once this place was blocked, it would undoubtedly choke the throat of the White City. In order to exterminate the snake and scorpion beast, Baicheng invested a lot of military and financial resources, which made Baicheng's strength lose a lot. Finally, after many efforts, the Black Canyon was finally opened, but the negative impact has not disappeared until now.

Recently, the orcs in the north are about to move, and one of the most elite wolf cavalry, bypassing the monitoring posts of the Luohan Mountain Range, is harassing the marginal areas, almost seizing the town of Baisong, not to mention, but also wantonly attacking villages and caravans, civilians and merchants have suffered great losses and injuries, so that the people are resentful, as the lord of the city, he naturally suffers great pressure for this.

"Lord of the City!" At this time, an assistant walked in, holding a stack of materials on the table, "This is the recent situation in the White City, and there is also information about your evaluation. ”

Although I haven't seen it yet, I can already guess one or two, Baicheng has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters, and its political performance has declined rapidly in the past few months. All kinds of rumors have been spreading for a long time, many industries have been impacted, several chambers of commerce have abandoned investment and business activities in Baicheng, and the price of food and weapons in the city has skyrocketed.

That's it.

Natural and man-made disasters are inevitable, and the lord will not blame them for this.

The most important thing is that it is difficult to quell the people's grievances.

The wolf cavalry caused the slaughter of several villages, and each village always produced one or two talents, who became merchants, soldiers, officials, or warlocks. When the news of the slaughter of the village and the revenge of their relatives came, how could they not lose their minds?

They all want to destroy the orcs and avenge the dead.

The city lord felt a great deal of pressure, but the wolf cavalry was very mobile, how could it be easily tracked? Therefore, he could only station a few thousand black armor troops in the main town to temporarily protect the town's safety, but this practice was considered too conservative, and countless people criticized and criticized it.

For this reason, the reputation of the city lord has plummeted, and many people think that the city lord is cowardly and incompetent.

The lord picked up the report.

"The statue of the city lord was splashed with dog blood!"

"The inaction of the city lord of Baicheng led five hundred people to protest in the streets!"

"The three major chambers of commerce announced that they would abandon Baicheng investment, and one chamber of commerce withdrew from Baicheng, and some experts predicted that Baicheng's finances in the first half of the year would shrink by at least 5,000 gold coins!"

"The city lord's approval rating has declined!"

"The prestige of Baicheng has decreased, and several nearby cities have benefited from fishermen, ushering in a development climax!"

“......”

It's all *, and there's a lot of news coming from a few surrounding cities. Other city lords deliberately fanned the flames and sneered, and even spread rumors that the orcs were going to attack the White City with a large army, which made many merchants daunted, and there were originally many projects in the White City, but they were all canceled.

The city lord crumpled the information and angrily smashed it against the wall: "Ignorant fart!"

The assistant cautiously said, "What should we do?"

The city lord took a few deep breaths and asked helplessly: "Let's talk to the Hound Mercenary Group again, if it really doesn't work, let's follow their price!"

The Hound Mercenary is a mercenary group in White City, with different mercenaries and different structures.

This is a mercenary group whose main business is intelligence, responsible for collecting magical beasts, herbs, minerals, or other intelligence, and selling it to the military, merchants, mercenaries, and adventurers for profit. The Hound Mercenary Regiment raises a large number of low-level magical beasts that detect wolves, dogs, and eagles, so it has outstanding search capabilities.

The reconnaissance ability of the Baicheng army is far inferior to that of the Hound Mercenaries, and if you want to track the wolf cavalry, you have to have the Hound Mercenaries!

What is a mercenary?

Mercenary means mercenary!

This kind of army is an unruly free force, don't expect the Hound mercenaries to do their jobs, and the lord of the castle is prepared to pay a high enough fee. But he never expected that the captain of the Hound Mercenary Group seemed to see the situation that the city lord had to do not do it, and directly offered a sky-high price of 2,000 gold coins.

What is this concept?

This is 50 times the normal price, at least to dig out the financial surplus of Blank City this month! After a few battles in Baicheng, its own finances are already very tight, and the Hound mercenary still wants to make a fortune at this time?

This practice of calling fire and robbing made the city lord very angry, but the mercenaries were a free force, and the city lord of Baicheng couldn't do anything to the other party, and the first negotiation broke down directly.

Now that the situation is forced, if the wolf cavalry is not destroyed, the loss will be more than two thousand gold coins.

The assistant to the city lord was very helpless and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Sudden thud.

One of the guards broke through the door and shouted with joy on his face: "Good news, good news, good news! The wolf cavalry has been completely annihilated." ”

The city lord's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

"Good news from White Pine Town, the 500 elite wolf cavalry of the half-orc clan have all been annihilated!"

The city lord stood up with a "whoosh", and couldn't believe that the wolf cavalry, which had been bothered for many days, would be destroyed by a small town. This is a tricky problem, so it is solved?

"What's going on?"

"What the hell is going on?"

The city lord hurriedly confirmed the details, and finally verified the news himself, he laughed excitedly, and shouted: "Well done! Well done! Hound mercenaries?

The assistant hurriedly patted his ass and said, "God bless Baicheng!"

The city lord waved his hand: "Let Liu Qian hold a press conference!" I want the people of the whole city to know the good news!"

At the end of the official press conference, the news spread throughout the Baicheng area, and countless civilians, businessmen, and soldiers admired Baisong Town. Half-orcs are born with racial advantages, half-orc warriors are already stronger than Terran warriors, and wolf cavalry, as one of the most elite troops, if they meet ordinary Terran troops, their combat power is enough to be ten!

How many defenders are there in White Pine Town?

Even if you add the black armor army sent, you can only protect yourself!

Snow Wolf Mercenaries have made outstanding contributions!

Mu Yun, the action planner, was once again exposed.

Baicheng was boiling, and when people learned about it, they immediately heated up.

After reading the newspaper, a certain citizen exclaimed, "Damn, why is this guy again!"

The boss of a certain media said with a wry smile: "Why is this kid again, is he the headline killer?"

A girl exclaimed, "Wow, it's an idol again!"

Undoubtedly, Mu Yun has made messy media headlines again.

"Baicheng Daily": "Mu Yunzhi fights half-orcs and annihilates the wolf cavalry at the lowest cost!"

White City Warcraft Magazine: "The Gibbon is a ferocious and brutal beast with very strong combat ability, and the materials it produces are of limited value, making it unpopular with mercenaries and material merchants. Therefore, it takes extraordinary courage to deal with them!"

There is a military magazine called "Frontline" that analyzes it from beginning to end with a whole page, and finally writes at the end: "Mu Yunqiao used the black-armored army to lure the enemy deep with a feint, and then used the demonic beast to severely damage the wolf cavalry, and finally joined forces to encircle and annihilate.

The media exaggerated the facts, and Mu Yun did not have the ability to calculate.

This encounter was purely accidental, Mu Yun set a trap just to hunt and kill the gibbon, and it had nothing to do with the orcs. Moreover, if it weren't for the wolf cavalry division of troops, Cheng Wu's black armor army would have been wiped out in a few rounds of attacks, and there would be no time to retreat, and there would be no chance to send a distress signal for the mercenaries and Bai Songzhen to see.

Don't dare to do anything.

Brilliant results are in front of you. The wolf cavalry was removed, the hidden danger no longer existed, the iron gibbon was removed, and the environment of White Pine Town was more stable. At the same time, the entrenched land of the iron gibbon, rich in herbal ores, has a lot of commercial value!

Mu Yun's role in it is self-evident!

............

In Baisong Town, Mu Yun has just finished his cultivation, and he is one step away from the 11th ring, and he is expected to reach it in three or two days. No matter the wind and rain in the city, Mu Yun always puts himself out of the way and does what he needs to do every day.

"Baicheng has sent a letter!" Qin Yue saw Mu Yun come out and sent a letterhead, "The city lord has reported the matter to the lord, this time a big reward will definitely not be able to run! In addition, the city lord invites you to become an official in Baicheng." ”

"Forget about being an official, I'm not interested. ”

Qin Yue showed a smile and said, "I guessed!"

"But I'm going to leave White Pine Town and move to the city!"

Qin Yue showed joy, "Really?"

Mu Yun nodded and said, "I will be able to advance to the Practitioner right away, the equipment in Baisong Town is too poor, there is not a decent laboratory, we need a better living environment." ”

Qin Yue nodded again and again and said, "You should have gone a long time ago! Your talent can be better displayed in Baicheng!"

Mu Yun's reputation in Baisong Town was too high, which not only made Wei Nan block, but also made his life uncomfortable. Now that the orcs are temporarily retiring, Mu Yun has nothing to worry about, he wants Ying'er to live a better life, and at the same time, he also needs a better environment, so he naturally has to move to the city.

White City is a place with a population of two or three million.

Various families, different mercenaries, chambers of commerce, companies, major forces, various institutions...... Its structure is far more complex than that of White Pine Town, and its prosperity is ten times that of White Pine Town, which is far more suitable for showing off its hands and feet than White Pine Town.

Mu Ying'er walked out of the room, holding a snow-white cloak, "Young master, the mayor of the town has a celebration banquet tonight, and you, as the protagonist, must dress well and write." ”

This cloak was sewn overnight by Ying'er and made of a whole piece of wolf skin, which was snow-white and flawless, soft and warm.

Mu Yun put on his cloak, and the whole person looked heroic!

Ying'er was very satisfied and said, "Sure enough, it's a good match for the young master!"

Mu Yun scratched her nose and said, "Of course, it doesn't depend on whose work it is! You go to change your clothes, and we will go to the banquet immediately." ”

The two daughters changed into the costumes of the banquet, Ying'er was young and cute, Qin Yue was beautiful and charming, and the completely different big beauties followed her, which was enough to make any man jealous. The three of them boarded a bright and luxurious carriage, and Meng Hu wore brand new armor and drove for Mu Yun himself.

Four people attended the celebration banquet.

Mu Yun was followed by two charming beauties, plus a giant man with a bear-like figure.

It's hard not to even attract attention!

"Lord Muyun!"

"Inside, please!"

The guards respectfully took over the carriage, and then took Muyun to the field, and the banquet was held in a hall, with colorful lights, very festive, far more than the New Year's Festival. The whole air was filled with the enticing smell of wine and meat, and a long table was filled with silver cutlery, wine, delicious food, and more.

Mu Yun and the mayor sat side by side.

Others sit at long tables on either side.

Wei Nan personally came up to greet him, shook hands warmly, and said excitedly: "You are indeed the lucky star of Baisong Town! Those half-orcs are ferocious, the old people and children do not let go, and the methods are extremely cruel, and the people have long been angry! You still have a way! No matter what today, please accept my worship!"

Wei Nan stood up and bowed to Mu Yun.

The mayor of the town was like this, and the other merchants all stood up and saluted Mu Yun to show respect.

Mu Yun's prestige in Baisong Town has reached the point of reaching the peak.
