......

"You're already in town?"

Ye Xiao frowned slightly, thinking to himself, how could these knights move so fast? Could it be that he left some clues for them to track down?

If that's the case, it's not going to be easy.

"Did they find anything?" Ye Xiao picked up the fragrant morning tea and took a sip.

"No, what happened last night, those knights can't easily track down the clues, but they have to do something to deal with the errand, this is not routine, come to our town for a walk. ”

Henry, the lord of the town, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and said with palpitations: "Your Excellency, you don't know, that fortress is only more than a hundred kilometers away from our town, after being slaughtered, it was so bloody that even the knight's war horse did not dare to enter, and now I don't know what force did it, but it's really terrible......"

Ye Xiao interrupted Henry's timid chatter and asked, "Where are those knights now?"

"I am a relative of the lord of Sotan City, you know, the knight captain knew me, and after meeting me at the gate of the town, he told me to be careful, and left without staying too long. "Henry now hopes that the knights will stay longer, and maybe keep the town safe.

Ye Xiao wanted to laugh a little when he heard this, if he told him that the Mithril Mine was done by himself, would he be scared to pee like this?

"Those knights are trivial, how many gold coins do you think this batch of elven equipment I transported?" Ye Xiao asked, he now needs to exchange for a large amount of money, and use the most direct and fastest way to buy a large number of rare metals in human society.

As long as he can collect the scarce resources of the Zerg base, he is willing to use any means.

"These seem to be the elite equipment of the elves, good things, the value will not be very low, put on the black market, a total of about 1,500 gold coins, or even higher. Henry then said with some embarrassment: "But the surroundings have not been very peaceful recently, and it may be a little troublesome to transport them into Sotan City, if you want to rush to make a move, you can probably only sell for 1,000 gold coins." ”

"Well, 1,000 gold coins, that's almost enough. Ye Xiao estimated that so many gold coins were already a lot of wealth, and it was more than enough to buy this town.

"Take your three chests of treasure with me. ”

"My lord, where are you going?"

"Sotan City!"

There are several small towns like Linxi Town, which are surrounded by Suotan City, which are considered to be satellite towns, and if danger is approaching, these towns will sound the alarm as soon as possible, so it is not very far from Suotan City.

Starting from the morning, we arrived at the gates of the city of Sotan just after noon.

As the western city of the human empire of Eastmanton, it has a population of more than one million, and there are more than 100,000 regular troops alone, plus the elite knight legion and the famous Magister legion, which is enough to deter any enemy who dares to attack the idea of this city.

Ye Xiao stood at the foot of the fortified city, and couldn't help but feel the generosity of the human beings in this world, as well as the strong defense of a real city.

Thick rock walls, like mountain cliffs, surround the city. Ye Xiao even saw horses running on the city tower, which showed the degree of generosity and solidity.

What Ye Xiao cared about the most was that it was not the soldiers patrolling the city tower, but a large number of heavy ballistas fixed on the city wall, with sharp black iron edges, emitting a cold light in the sun. At the four corners of the city wall, there are also four minarets that shine with a magical luster.

Although Ye Xiao didn't know how powerful these defensive facilities were, after seeing these things, a strong sense of danger had already surged into his heart.

He secretly figured out in his heart that if there were no large-scale siege facilities and heavy troops, with the Zerg troops he had now, even if there were thousands of troops, he might not be able to capture this city.

Speaking of which, what he has now is only light insect soldiers, and there is no problem at all in using them to fight in the field, but besieging the city is simply going to die.

The thickness of this city wall, even if it is the bombardment of the Bone Splitting Worm, it can't be blasted open without a hundred or ten rounds, and there are actually three city gates, if you want to break through the three city gates, it is even more difficult to rush in.

It seems that after upgrading the Zerg base, it is still necessary to prepare for war as soon as possible, such as heavy siege insect soldiers, which must be cultivated and hatched.

Ye Xiao thought all the way, the carriage had come to the city gate.

As the western city of the empire, Sotan was also an important city for both commercial trade and slave trading. In addition, the tragedy of the bloody storming of the Mithril Mine Fortress last night made today's inventory extremely strict, and even the faces of the soldiers defending the city were shrouded in a layer of haze.

"My lord, I have already taken care of the officers and soldiers who are inspecting, and there is no problem with the goods we hide under the apples, but the personnel must be tested by magic, even I am no exception. Henry leaned into Ye Xiao's ear and whispered, "This is an order given by Lord Cyber himself." ”

Originally, Henry was a relative of the city lord, and the city gate guards were more familiar, plus a little money, these city gate guards wished he could come a few more times, after all, smuggling and the black market have long been strange in human society.

It's just that the tragedy that happened this time is really too big.

After accompanying the prince on the elf mission, Cyber planned to wait for the elf princess who had been sent to the royal academy in Sotan City, and then bring it back to the country with this batch of Mithril that was about to be mined. Then at the grand welcome ceremony, he handed it over to Prince Rosso with his own hands.

This is simply the best way to promote the country's prestige and power, and in this way, the capital of Prince Rosso to compete for the throne will also increase a lot.

And he Cyber will also rise to the throne after the future Prince Rosso ascends the throne and become the Grand Duke directly under the king.

But just last night, not only was the Mithril Mine Fortress robbed, but everyone was slaughtered, and not even a single living mouth was left.

Such a tragedy happened in front of his eyes, and he couldn't even find out what forces did it, and he was simply slapped in the face in front of so many nobles in the imperial city.

Therefore, before returning to the imperial capital Doan, he must find even the slightest clue no matter what, even if he blames the necromancer or the abyss demon for this tragedy.

Of course, blame is only a last resort, and before that, Cyber believed that such a tragedy was definitely related to necromancers and demons.

Therefore, the detection of magicians and large-scale searches have become necessary means.

"Magic detection, what is being detected?" Ye Xiao asked curiously, although he used some small means of the Zerg system to change his appearance, he had not experienced any magic detection.

The entrance to the gate in front of them is divided into five teams, and both entering and exiting the city need to be tested by magicians.

The magicians would shake their wands at each of them, cast a spell, and a crystal clear glow would envelop them.

However, what kind of judging criteria it is, Ye Xiao does not know.

"It's a detection of its own magical attributes. Henry leaned over and explained, "It is said that the necromancer's body is full of dead energy, so the magic detection will appear gray. The Abyss Demon does not belong to this world, so people or things with demonic breath will appear black. ”

"If it's an elf, it will have a green glow, and ordinary people won't react in any way, only foreign objects will. My lord, let's go, the guards won't embarrass us. Henry made a gesture of invitation to Ye Xiao, and then walked towards the magician himself.

"Safe, go ahead. The magician motioned for Henry to go over, and then raised his eyes to look at Ye Xiao and the others.

Ye Xiao frowned slightly, he entered the city this time, and only brought Johnson and Qinglong, as well as 10 Zerg elites who escorted the carriage.

Although the Zerg elites have all been humanoid, he is not at all clear what the consequences will be if they are tested by magic.

If it is considered a heresy, it is likely to be surrounded by a large number of soldiers, which will be a very dangerous thing.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, Ye Xiao was ruthless, put her hand into her pocket, and then walked in front of the magician with 12 subordinates.

The magician shook his staff, and a crystal light shrouded Ye Xiao and the 11 Zerg subordinates.

If it is really regarded as a foreign object by these humans, then it is planned to fight these guards directly, and then withdraw to the Zerg base through the wormhole.

Anyway, there is already an enemy of elves, and there is not much more, it is a big deal that the fish die and the net is broken, and the Zerg he rules now are not vegetarians.

The brilliance of the detection magic sent out a flash of crystal.

"Colorless, go ahead!" the magician waved his hand, undoing the spell and declaring it safe.

Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his Zerg was the top civilization of biotechnology, so naturally he would not carry any dead or demonic energy.

Ye Xiao arranged for his subordinates to re-erect the carriage.

Suddenly, a scream rang out from within the city of Sotan, shattering the silence of the scene.

"Oh, another pagan fool has been found. The magician smiled disdainfully, then looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Go in, the investigation has been tight recently, you'd better not cause any trouble, otherwise no one will be able to save you if you become a scapegoat." ”

It seems that human society is not peaceful now, Ye Xiao did not stop long, and led the convoy into the city quickly.

Coming to the spacious street of Suotan City, Ye Xiao's mood also improved.

This is not only a war city, but also a border trading city, the streets are lined with people of different races, coming and going, and horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods.

Ye Xiao's miniature scout worm played a big role at this time, and a large amount of information was passed back.

In this process, Ye Xiao finally saw the barbarians with black hair and wearing animal skins, but these barbarians were tied together with several injured and unclothed elves, led by iron chains, and walked towards a market.

This is also the place where Henry is going to sell his goods, the rotten and filthy black market.
