Arthur did not hesitate to reject the other party's ultimatum to withdraw from the army.

The three well-dressed heralds rode to three hundred meters in front of the other party's castle, and puffed up their mid-strength to a demon general wearing black armor and four spiral horns on his forehead at the head of the castle, loudly conveying Arthur's will that it is impossible for the noble Prince of Beihai to withdraw his troops, and all the abyssal creatures in the castle must surrender to Arthur, otherwise once the castle is breached, all the abyssal creatures will be burned at the stake.

The demon general's urn snorted angrily, and then he waved his hand.

Above the castle's gates, three heavy stones suddenly retracted, revealing three black arrow holes. There was a loud and muffled sound, and a pure steel crossbow bolt more than two meters long shot out from the arrow hole, accurately hitting the chests of the three heralds, shooting them off the backs of their mounts, flying out more than a hundred meters with their bodies, and firmly grounding them on the ground.

The castle was filled with the unique laughter of the demons, and the towers at the four corners of the castle were lit up with black fires, and a viscous, eerie black halo like the footprints of the dead gradually emerged from the castle walls, turning into an extremely strange circular magical enchantment that enveloped the entire castle.

"I can already smell the smell of your flesh and blood, and I wait quietly for the moment when you will be served to the table after you have been grilled until you are medium-rare. A low, hoarse, very ugly voice came from inside the castle: "Creatures of the ground, you are killing yourselves. ”

Lin Qi stood at the window of the tower, looking at the herald in the distance like a butterfly specimen on the spear, and then shook his head slightly.

Arthur was already roaring angrily: "They refuse to surrender? Get everyone ready, wait for their reinforcements to arrive, and then, we will annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”

By the time Arthur said this, Lin Qi had already seen dozens of black flags waving in the wind in the distance. It was a large group of abyssal creatures coming from all directions. According to Lin Qi's estimates, in two hours at most, these abyssal creatures would be able to rush here.

Perhaps Arthur had made the right decision, to wait for all the enemies to gather and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

But according to Lin Qi's idea, it is better to raze the small castle in front of him before the enemy's reinforcements arrive. Although Arthur's forces are incomparably strong, where is it convenient to deal with a front-line enemy alone in a two-front battle?

It's just that Arthur is in charge, so Lin Qi didn't say any nonsense, and after bowing to Arthur, he walked out of Arthur's headquarters with his own people. Before going out, Lin Qi couldn't help but glance at the 'Esther, Miss, who was sitting next to Arthur, the red succubus was really a terrible creature, look at what poor Arthur has been squeezed into?

Leaving Arthur's headquarters, and just after walking out of the castle made of magic, a beautiful girl in white soft armor had stopped in front of Lin Qi: "Wanen." Mr. Longshan, Miss Esther invites you to come over and discuss important matters with you. ”

Lin Qi raised his eyebrows, he hesitated for a moment, and then he glanced at Mr. Mo.

Mr. Mo smiled, he quietly took Edithy's little hand, and the father and daughter followed closely behind Lin Qi. Coupled with the day and night brothers who never left Lin Qi far, they already possessed the strength to deal with most of the changes.

What's more, with the two girls Yun and Paradise accompanying them as close guards, their weird abilities are enough to make all those who underestimate them suffer.

So Lin Qi smiled brightly and nodded to the girl: "Then, please lead the way!" I think I also have some business cooperation matters, and I would like to discuss them carefully with Miss Esther. ”

At the heart of the castle, earth magicians raise boulders and use their magic to shape a small, beautiful palace. Esther lived in this fine palace, all furnished in the finest of luxury, not unlike Arthur's Prince's mansion on the ground.

When Lin Qi led the people inside, Esther was teasing a beautiful and cute little golden chipmunk. It was no more than the size of a baby's fist, and the little thing with fine hair and golden light was turning over in her palm, and from time to time she took a crispy kernel from Esther's hand and quickly took it into the pouch on either side of her mouth.

Seeing the person she had invited walk in, Esther's silver eyes swept over the large group of people behind Lin Qi.

Lin Qi saw the surprise in the other party's eyes, and he spread his hands very frankly: "Dear Miss Esther, this is the abyss world, and there are dangers here, so my minions, they are always worried about my safety. ”

After a slight pause, Lin Qi chuckled: "No matter what you have to say to me, just make it clear." They are all the most loyal retainers of the family, and they will definitely not betray the interests of the Longshan family. ”

Esther frowned, she put the little golden chipmunk in her hand on the bed beside her, stared deeply at Lin Qi for a long time, and then said slowly: "Alice's death, you notified the Silver Iris family?"

Lin Qi looked at Esther in surprise, he shrugged his shoulders, and said disapprerovingly: "Of course, we always have to fulfill the last wish of a poor beautiful girl before she died, she wants us to pass the news of her death back to the Silver Iris family, so we did it." ”

Esther said coldly: "Therefore, the Longshan family also intervened in this operation. I don't believe that the Longshan family has plans to open up a business path in the Fourth Abyss, and I don't think anyone with a bit of brains will believe your excuses. ”

After being silent for a while, Lin Qi bowed slightly to Esther: "The Longshan family is a family that pursues interests. ”

The palace fell into a state of dead silence for a while, and Esther was questioning, "Wan En Longshan, bringing people to the Fourth Abyss is to get a piece of her plan, and Lin Qi is confessing to him as Wan En and Long Shan, the Dragon Mountain family is here to take advantage! No matter what Esther has plans in the Fourth Abyss, anyway, the Long Shan family knows about this matter, so he has come to take advantage."

Lin Qi's attitude is that I have made it clear that I am shameless to take advantage of it, do you dare to turn your face with yourself at this time?

Although Arthur's military strength is huge, the Longshan family brings elites. 10,000 powerful dwarven warriors, 5,000 even more powerful Warcraft warriors, and 30,000 battle-tested mercenaries, such a force certainly can't fight with Arthur's huge legion, but such a force has enough qualifications to act as a '-stirring stick'.

I can't help you get things done, but there's always something to break you.

Therefore, either everyone's interests are equal, or they are scattered one by one, and Lin Qi is such a shameless attitude.

A treacherous glint flashed in Esther's eyes, and she said slowly, "For this operation, the family has been preparing with His Highness Arthur for a long, long time. The place I want to go to is only beneficial to the family, and the Longshan family, I'm afraid I won't be able to get any benefits from it. ”

Lin Qi smiled reservedly, he nodded to Esther, and said lightly: "We don't peek into the secrets of the Silver Iris family, but such a large legion can always get some benefits in the Fourth Abyss." I have given His Highness Arthur thirty percent of the net profits of his future business as a reward, so I have asked for the exclusive possession of all the wealth of all the Abyssal Creature Castles that I have conquered along the way. ”

Esther pursed her lips and smiled, "No way, Arthur can't agree to your conditions." ”

Lin Qi spread his hands: "We are not interested in floating wealth, all the ready-made wealth is yours, but all the ore veins belong to the Longshan family." Of course, of course, if it's a Mithril vein, it must be yours. ”

Esther was silent for a while, staring at Lin Qi deeply for a long time, and then finally showed a smile as bright as a spring flower.

"As you wish, Count Longshan is a shrewd man, and you are a respectable old gentleman. Well, as you wish. All the veins we capture will become the wealth of the Longshan family. Of course, the ownership of those veins is up to you to take care of by yourself, and I won't give you any help in this regard. ”

Lin Qi bowed to Esther, then pulled out two magical contracts drawn up from the skins of the beasts.

Esther signed a contract with Lin Qi without changing her face, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then Lin Qi picked up a contract and led people out of the palace.

Quickly leaving the castle where Arthur's headquarters was located, Lin Qi came to the outside of the city, and directly took out the magic contract and crumpled it into ashes: "What a treacherous woman, what effect can a magic contract signed by a red succubus be?"

The group all looked at Lin Qi silently, and the other party used a red succubus to sign a magic contract with Lin Qi, but didn't Lin Qi sign this contract with his original identity?

Waving his hand, Lin Qi said with a hint of a smile: "Go back, get ready to watch the excitement, the war between the creatures of the abyss and Prince Arthur, this is a good show!

As soon as Lin Qi finished speaking, the ground around him suddenly cracked, and the six scorpion long tails brought a black cold light towards his body. A black shadow burst out from the shadow under his feet, and two sharp daggers stabbed fiercely into Lin Qi's kidneys.

The terrible howls of dying human beings can be heard everywhere near and far.

The attacks of the creatures of the abyss came so quickly, so quickly! They brazenly launched an all-out assassination raid on the leading figures of Arthur's army!

The war has begun.
