Chapter 128: The "Artifact" Invented by Lin Lei (Second Update)
The next day, in the early morning, the sun dispelled the night, and what could not be dispersed was the thick bloody atmosphere that enveloped the entire city, and the mercenaries, who had fought fiercely for most of the night and were busy until the morning, could finally stop and rest for a while.

One of the indescribable advantages of fighting with the demon dwarves is that they don't have to worry about the trouble of disposing of corpses at all, unless they win a big victory, otherwise, whether it is the corpse of the demon dwarves or humans, the demon dwarves will take them away without leaving any trace when they retreat.
As for the bloodshed all over the city, it was only after a day's rest that water was slowly drawn from various water sources in the city to clean up.
The sky had just completely brightened, and in the direction of Citizen, a red magic fire rose up, reaching a height of more than 1,000 meters, and after hitting a thick white cloud, it exploded, dyeing the entire cloud into a brilliant red, which never dispersed for a long time.
This is a special "Red Cloud Demon Fire", when each city is established, you can unconditionally receive one from the Imperial Political Registry Department, which is free of charge, representing the official recognition of the new city territory by the Empire.
However, no one will ever want to show it off, because a city has only one chance in a lifetime to release it, but it is better never to have such an opportunity.
"Red Cloud Demon Fire" represents a city...... The complete fall means that henceforth, the city will no longer exist on the official map of the Empire, and it means that tens of thousands, even, hundreds of thousands of human beings living in this city, are gone.
The red clouds floated silently, turning into pale red droplets one after another, dripping into rain, as if they were the blood of countless dead people, as if they were the tears of countless people who were still alive.
I don't know who discovered the red cloud first, someone on the city wall shouted loudly, and after a while, the six cities of Lin Liucheng, which was resting, were boiling, and countless people roared, yelled, howled, and wept, and some people fell to their knees, at a loss, and panicked.
Those who are familiar with the Western Regions will know that this is not the first city that mankind has fallen, but the first big city that has fallen in the past hundred years.
The significance of a big city is equivalent to the resource supply place of the surrounding small and medium-sized cities, as well as the source of a sense of security, within the radiation range of dozens of kilometers of the big city, it is the dependence of all small and medium-sized cities, especially for Lin Liucheng, it is all dependent.
Knowing that Citizen City is all relied on by Lin Liucheng, it is by no means a few. The mercenaries who dare to go to Xincheng are all bold and experienced old mercenaries, but if they don't have the backing of Citizen, and give ten times the commission, Lin Xiong will never want to hire them to join.
Only the little hairy boy who has just entered the industry and doesn't know how to write the word "death" dares to go to a lonely city within a radius of 100 miles and no other alliances.
In fact, many mercenaries have criticized Lin Xiong's delay in opening up the passage between him and Citizen, but Lin Xiong has always agreed to it first, and then changed his tricks and delayed it again and again, and there is a lot of work to be done in the new city, and it is indeed difficult for the existing mercenaries to draw out manpower, so it has been delayed until now.
If he had known that Lin Liucheng had even opened up the "lifeline", I am afraid that Lin Xiong would have been able to pull a lot fewer mercenaries.
It was nearly noon, in a big house in the center of the city, Lin Xiong, Lin Lei, Dani, the old and new bosses of the mercenary groups, and the heads of the living facilities in the city, all gathered here, sitting around a long table, intending to discuss various practical issues in the future.
Of course, everyone knows that the biggest and most realistic problem is undoubtedly how to survive.
After the demon dwarves got the Citizen City, it was impossible to let go of Lin Liucheng, the "nail household", the reason why he hadn't killed it back until now, was just digesting the fruits of victory after the capture of Iron, after all, it was a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands, even if it was just plundered, it would take a lot of effort.
The demon dwarf is a race that is not good at manufacturing, but it is not completely without requirements for the standard of living, and the various life conveniences invented and manufactured by humans are the favorite things of the demon dwarves in addition to food.
Therefore, after the capture of the city, it is not just to take away what can be eaten, but also the many daily necessities and utensils made by human beings are also the resources that they must plunder.
And those weapons that they can use, such as bows and arrows, javelins, will also be plundered, and there are so many that it will take two days to really sweep the whole city, so the time left for everyone to prepare will be about two days.
The atmosphere in the conference room was rather somber.
After Citizen City was wiped out by the demon dwarves, everyone became lifeless, if they didn't leave Lin Liucheng, they would only die faster, I believe that at this time, Lin Liucheng was already empty.
"Okay, everyone, everyone knows the situation, I won't be verbose, now, what we want to discuss is the future planning direction of Lin Liucheng, as well as the next action plan. ”
Lin Xiong's calm face and flat tone seemed to have never happened before the fierce battle and the fall of Citizen.
"What's the use of saying that now?"
"We have a future, where is the future?"
"The future is in the belly of a big mouse. ”
"It's insane. ”
"Indeed, there is no crazier proposition. ”
As soon as Lin Xiong's words came out, the listless bosses suddenly became enthusiastic - enthusiastically mocking Lin Xiong, the ignorant and idiotic city lord, if it weren't for Lin Xiong's seventh-level solidified strength, these big men who like to drink and touch women's butts with their big hands would definitely have been swearing a lot.
"Is that true, guys, do you think I'm still talking nonsense with everyone here?" Lin Xiong's majestic gaze swept over everyone one by one, until they all closed their mouths, and then said slowly: "Do you think that if I want to flee to another city, I won't be able to do it?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire chaotic conference room fell silent for a moment.
That's right, the "Death Incarnation" solidified by Lin Xiong's seventh level, even if it is surrounded by the army of demon dwarves, not to mention coming and going freely, but it is absolutely possible to escape back to other cities in the Western Regions alone.
No one who can be the boss of the mercenary group will be stupid, Lin Xiong said this, and everyone understands - this city lord who pushes back everything that costs money is not because he is reluctant to put oil on the soles of his feet.
After all, no matter how important the city is, where is its own life important, a seventh-level solidified warrior can stay alive, no matter what, he will be better than anyone present.
"Okay, now, let me introduce to you first, Your Excellency Lin Lei, the new Second City Lord of Lin Liucheng, the following matters will be handed over to the Second City Lord. ”
Lin Xiong looked at the silent bosses with satisfaction, and after dropping a sentence, he immediately pushed Lin Lei out, looking like he was in charge.
The bosses looked at each other, obviously not understanding when a second city lord came.
However, after all, the people who can be the boss are relatively calm, although no one knows what is going on, but there is no further coaxing, especially that this "second city lord" is also surnamed Lin, and everyone subconsciously thinks that they are members of the Lin family in the Western Regions.
"Magician?" a crisp voice came from the room.
Lin Lei followed the prestige, but it was two girls with beautiful faces and identical appearances, staring at him in unison. Just now, the two of them spoke together, but the frequency of their speech was exactly the same as that of their voice, and it sounded like they were just talking alone.
Although he was surprised that there were also twins in the Forgotten Land, Lin Lei didn't show too much surprise, just smiled and nodded kindly.
Lin Lei is dressed as a demon warrior, as long as his eyes are not blind, he can see the identity of the magician, but no one who was present just now had the heart to pay attention to other people's affairs, even if he saw it, he couldn't see it.
"These two beautiful ladies are Alyssa and Miss Elijie, they are the sisters of the fallen Captain of the Blue Rhinoceros, Alyssa is a fifth-level fire demon warrior, and Alyssa is a sixth-order solidified wind warrior, the two of them are the new leaders of the Gray Rhino Mercenary Group, the Blue Rhino Mercenary Group, and they will be taken care of by the two of them in the future. ”
Wind Warrior is a special system for solidifying warriors.
The average solidified warrior focuses on physical strength, durability, and ontological defense, but the Wind Warrior is an exception.
The Wind Warrior does not focus too much on physical defense, but instead puts most of the solidification potential into the dual explosion of speed and power, and for the mage, the Wind Warrior is the most feared assassin.
Without deliberate precautions, the sixth-order wind warriors, sneak attacks on ordinary seventh- and eighth-level magicians, are all one-kill, and the general-purpose version of the fifth-level space shield cannot block the full force of the sixth-order wind warrior's blow.
Lin Xiong dutifully introduced on the side, as for how the leader of the cangxi regiment died, he looked like he didn't know at all - although it was indeed not Nina's doing, Lin Xiong's memories were all inherited to Nina, in a sense, it was no different from Nina's killing, it was difficult for ordinary people to be so casual.
Lin Lei couldn't help but secretly slander - a guy who is not a human being, he really has no humanity, and it is impossible to have a sense of shame.
"Which of the two of you operated last night's 'Fire Demon Crossbow'?"
Alyssa, who was dressed as a demon warrior, looked at Lin Lei, and then looked at Dani sitting next to Lin Lei, with a curious expression.
Dani was sitting next to Lin Lei at the moment, although her face was still veiled, she had already changed into the robe of a great magician, and at this moment when she needed to stabilize people's hearts, there was no need to hide her strength.
"It's me. ”
Lin Lei responded.
"Hello, I'm Alyssa, and the other 'Fire Demon Crossbow' that guarded the same direction as you last night was the ...... I operated" Alyssa took the initiative to reach out and touch the back of Lin Lei's palm, making a "hand-touching gift" equivalent to shaking hands in the earth world.
"How many levels of magician are you, and why do you have so much magic power?" The wind warrior on the other side, Alyssie, glared at Lin Lei and said: "I see that you have shot fifty times, this is the limit of the 'Fire Demon Crossbow' to reload the magic crystal at one time, Alyssa is the peak magic power of the fifth level, and she can only shoot thirty times at most, are you above the sixth level?"
"Well, it's just magic. ”
Unexpectedly, he would be exposed, and Lin Lei replied a little speechlessly.
"Okay, dear Miss Ellie, if you are very interested in His Excellency Lin Lei, you can find him alone later, now, let's ask our Second City Lord to show him his latest invention of the artifact against the demon dwarves, I think, this is what everyone is most concerned about now. ”
Lin Xiong on the side was righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Okay. ”
Ellie shrugged and spread her hands. I don't know if this "good" means that he will find Lin Lei in private to understand, in short, Nina let out a strange laugh with bad intentions in Lin Lei's conscious mind.
This proves that Lin Xiong is really not a good thing, and in less than a day, Nina has already learned badly.
Lin Lei stopped talking, took out a modified wand from the ring, turned to face the wall behind him, and with a movement of his mental power, the wand made a "poof" sound, and an extremely dazzling white light flashed in the entire room...... (To be continued.) )
