In the reception room, Ye Ling saw Roger, and the air envoy said lightly: "I finally understand the real reason why Lord Ye Ling is reluctant to join me, I didn't expect Lord Ye Ling to be such a deep person, it seems that we are not destined to become the managers of the same city." ”

Ye Ling touched his nose and said, "This, it's really a pity, I hope Lord Roger doesn't mind." ”

Roger smiled slightly: "How come, we are still friends, besides, if we talk about how to cooperate so that both parties can get some benefits, I think Lord Ye Ling will not refuse again, right?"

"Cooperation?" Ye Ling's eyes lit up: "I'm very interested in this, but I'm just a little lord, how can I cooperate with Lord Roger?"

Roger stood up and walked around twice with his hands in his hands: "Lord Ye Ling, I plan to give you Manhattan City, a third-level city under my jurisdiction!"

As soon as his words fell, Ye Ling's eyes widened: "What, give it to me?"

He almost wondered if he had heard it wrong, but Roger repeated: "Yes, the entire city, including all the facilities in the city, except for my armed liliang, is all taken over by you, and if the people in the city are willing to stay, they are also your people!"

This TMD is a cooperation, it is simply a selfless gift!

No, no, no, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world, no matter how generous Roger is, how can he give himself a third-level city for no reason.

Among them, there must be some reason!

Thinking of this, Ye Ling suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said tentatively: "Lord Roger, we are all understanding people, so let's not talk nonsense, is there anything wrong with this Manhattan city?"

Roger nodded: "That's right, this city has always been a little troublesome!"

Sure enough, pie will never fall from the sky for no reason!

The "little trouble" in Roger's mouth doesn't seem to be small at all, otherwise he wouldn't have given up on the city, it seems that this cooperation will have to be carefully considered!

So Ye Ling said cautiously: "Lord Roger, can you tell me in more detail?"

"Here's the thing," Roger said, "When I first occupied the city of Manhattan, I found that there was a strange place in this city, called the Doom of the Yin Wind, which is not an alien force field, but there are always monsters running out of it and harassing the city of Manhattan!"

Ye Ling's heart moved: "Lord Roger, this Yin Wind Doom you said should be a crack in another dimension, right?"

On planets of all sizes, there are some spatial gaps, also known as interdimensional rifts, if you enter a different dimensional rift, you will go to a shijie that is different from the main plane, the fox demon treasure, and the night demon highland that Vanessa's Storm Mercenary Group entered when he interned, all of which are interdimensional rifts.

The situation of each crack in another dimension is endless, it may be the blessed land of the fox demon treasure that is rich in exotic treasures and is coveted, or it may be a disaster that people can avoid and avoid, and the evil of the yin wind is obviously the latter.

Roger confessed: "That's right, it is indeed a crack in another dimension, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cancer of Manhattan City, it spits out monsters very frequently, I have to send people to guard the vicinity of Yin Wind Misfortune twenty-four hours a day, and as soon as a monster escapes inside, it will be killed immediately!" But in this way, I will waste a lot of manpower and material resources, especially now that I have a strong competitor who is eyeing my territory, I hope to be able to concentrate Liliang on him to fight, instead of using it for the suppression of Yin Wind Doom!"

"So that's the case!" Ye Ling thought for a moment and asked again, "So, Lord Roger, don't you just give up this city directly?"

Roger sighed and said: "There are some things, it is not that you can give up if you give up, Manhattan is one of the cities behind my territory, if I abandon it and let others settle in, it will be difficult to ensure that the new lord has no different intentions, or become my enemy under the bewitchment of my rivals, let me suffer from the enemy, no matter who it is, I definitely don't want to plant such a time bomb in the rear of my territory, right?"

Ye Ling finally understood Roger's distress, the existence of the bad luck of the wind made Manhattan a chicken rib, but it was a hot sweet potato, Roger was afraid of being exploded by others, so he had certain requirements for the new owner of the city that was about to give up.

Roger said again: "Lord Ye Ling, a wise and benevolent lord like you is not many in the ancient wilderness, I believe in your character, plus you and Selena, Saiya also have a friendship, so, this city, if it is given to you, it will be very suitable." ”

Ye Ling pondered for a while and asked, "Lord Roger, before this, I have to know if with the Liliang I currently have, can I suppress the Yin Wind Doom!"

The city that annoyed Roger to give up, the monster that came out of the crack in another dimension must not be simple, and it can't be done by three or a few hundred people.

Roger didn't think about it and said: "The Yin Wind Doom sometimes runs out of a few monsters, and it is also very weak, maybe a few hundred elite guards can do it, but sometimes a large number of powerful monsters will run out, but with Ye Ling Lord and your manpower, plus those magic cannons and mechas, it must be enough!"

Ye Ling hesitated a little, according to Roger, for the sake of insurance, a large number of people must be stationed in Yin Feng at any time, and this group of armed liliang cannot leave the city and be used for the redevelopment of the territory, which is a bit troublesome.

Roger continued to incite him: "Lord Ye Ling, I know it's a bit troublesome, but you can't get it for nothing, right? Besides, it's completely worth it compared to the benefits you get from Manhattan City. To put it mildly, Lord Ye Ling, if you really want to become a powerful man in the Ancient Barbarian Wilderness, it is useless to just rely on the remote border to make a small fuss, at least you have to occupy a place in some popular areas, and you can be regarded as stepping onto the big stage of the Ancient Barbarian Wilderness, otherwise, you will always be only a spectator!"

Ye Ling had to admit that Roger's words were right, there was indeed not much competition in a remote area like Ipsway, but the environment in these areas was too poor, barren, and lacking in popularity, and they would never be able to absorb too many strong citizens to join, and now they tried their best to make Ipsway prosperous, but they had already encountered a bottleneck, and there were too few idle liliang nearby, even if they were absorbed, it would be very limited.

According to his knowledge of the history of the development of Shili in the ancient wilderness, there is only one person who can develop in this kind of remote area, and Zuihou becomes a super lord, and that is the Sky Lord, this lord and his ancestors have collected a large amount of territory on the northwest border, and there are at least hundreds of towns under their jurisdiction, but the Sky Lord is considered to be the weakest of the nine super lords, and even so, it took him and his ancestors eight hundred years to have their current achievements, and there are also a lot of accidental luck elements, which shows how difficult it is to become a king and dominate in the remote border。

Ye Ling didn't have hundreds of years for himself to squander, and the turmoil in the gray forbidden area was likely to happen in the next few years.

So, when the opportunity comes, when it's time to gamble, you have to gamble.

However, before that, he also had to ask for the opinions of others, so Ye Ling said: "Lord Roger, this matter is not trivial, I have to think about it, three days, within three days, I will definitely give you an answer, how about it?"

Roger said without hesitation: "Okay, then I'll wait for three days!"

After the meeting, Ye Ling immediately convened a meeting of the group's henchmen in the territory, and almost everyone in Zuihou supported the reception of Manhattan, because everyone who was in the ancient wilderness understood that if they did not march to the popular area, it would be difficult to become a climate, but the competition for the popular area was fierce, and it was not so easy for you to squeeze in, Roger's opportunity, if it was missed, it would be quite a pity.

didn't let Roger wait too early, and in the early morning of the next day, Ye Ling found the air envoy again: "Lord Roger, deal!"

Roger showed a satisfied smile, he knew that Ye Ling's answer this time would not disappoint him: "Very good, Lord Ye Ling, if there is no accident, in half a month, you will be the new owner of Manhattan!"

The ancient wilderness southwest is a third-level city of Manhattan, located near the Gold Coast, with a pleasant climate, abundant products, high concentration of star power, weak Warcraft disasters, and a good lord, the people in this prosperous city, needless to say, are very happy, they have been living steadily.

However, everywhere in the Ancient Wilderness, including the Super Territory, there are many times when unpredictable things happen.

For a while, Manhattan has been in constant fear.

Because in recent months, there has been a rumor that their lord, the air envoy Roger, intends to abandon the city.

At first, people scoffed at this, because Roger had a near-perfect image in their minds, and no one believed that he would do it.

However, the more this rumor spreads, the more powerful it becomes, and there is a well-founded basis, and the bad luck in the city, as well as the external enemy, have made the impossible happen.

zuihou, it has finally been proven to be true!

Just over ten days ago, Lord Roger himself announced that the city of Manhattan would be carved out of his domain, the Empty County, and that it would be replaced by a new lord from outside.

The news caused an immediate uproar, and there was a huge upheaval in the calm city, and people had to think about their fate in a limited time.

Although he did something bad for his image for the first time out of desperation, Roger tried his best to make up for it, he only gave up Manhattan, not the people here, and if anyone wanted to, he could still return to the empty county and be assigned to other cities.

There were quite a few people who migrated away, but most of them were wealthy people in the city, but there were also many people who, after difficult consideration, made the decision to stay. Because if you change to a new city, you have to find a new job, and in the face of a new life, those small businessmen, all the foundations they have laid here have to be torn down and rebuilt, and they can't accept it.

Moreover, due to the departure of some competitors, leaving a considerable market, this is a very good opportunity. In addition, Roger has done enough work for the succession of this territory, vigorously publicizing how good the new lord is, and being able to get his own support, and maintaining a good relationship with the empty county, and Manhattan will be very stable in the future, so many civilians and small merchants Zuihou still decided to fight and stay in the city.

There are already a lot of citizens in Manhattan, nearly one-third of them have left, and there are more than 200,000 people, but it is a little more deserted than before, and the people who remain are all gambling, so it is inevitable that they will be apprehensive, and the atmosphere of the city is more depressing. It's nine o'clock in the evening, the golden time of the day for leisure, and the usually lively bars and squares seem to be much calmer.

However, the sound of hooves entering the city broke the peace, and the hoofs were loud and carried far away at night, indicating that there were a large number of people entering the city.

It was clear to everyone what the hoofs meant, and those who heard it ran out of their homes and bars.

Running through the largest street of the city, on Washington Avenue, a large number of heavily armed guards appeared, they rode all kinds of pet beasts, moving towards the center of the city, and there were also some dark shadows in the sky, but there were groups of mecha warriors.

"It's coming, it's finally here!"

"Which is the new lord, I don't know what kind of person he is!"

"According to Lord Roger, this new lord is very good, I hope he didn't lie to us. ”

“......”

This group of outsiders, needless to say, is an armed liliang from the city of Ipsvi, but the people are most concerned about the lord.

The ancient barbarian is not like the federal kingdom, the ruler has too much power, is not restricted by the parliament, etc., can cover the sky with one hand, and also determines the fate of a city.

In this team entering the city, people quickly came up with a person, a young man, wearing a red cloak, at the front of the team, surrounded by more than a dozen very imposing warriors who seemed to be elite Liliang, but everyone also kept a certain distance from him, leaving a spacious space.

In this position of the team, the elite battle beside him, coupled with the red cloak that pulls the wind, anyone with a little common sense can determine his identity.

"Look, isn't that one in a fighter's suit our new lord?"

"Looks like it should be, my God, why is he so young!"

"Yes, at this age, how much ability can you have, it's over, how could Lord Roger invite a hairy boy to take over Manhattan? Alas, it looks like we have to leave too, and there is no future for staying in Manhattan!"

"Shhhh

“......”

The people who saw Ye Ling talked a lot, most of them were disappointed, and some people's determination to stay in the city had even been shaken, and after this team passed by, people found that their number was less than they imagined, and they sighed.

Ye Ling didn't have time to pay attention to what people thought for the time being, he came from a long distance with the team, and the top priority was to do a good job in the handover ceremony of the city first, so he led the team straight from Washington Avenue to the city hall in the center of Manhattan.

Several official-looking people were waiting, all of them were high-level people in Manhattan, and the first one was a middle-aged man with a white face, he walked up to Ye Ling, who came out of the ranks, and stretched out his hand and said: "Lord Ye Ling, I am Pusen, the current city lord of Manhattan, welcome to your arrival!"

Ye Ling stretched out his hand and shook it with him: "Pusen City Lord, hello!"

When Pu Sen saw Ye Ling, he was also a little disappointed, he didn't really believe in Ye Ling's ability, not to mention that he found that the other party brought relatively few people, before the handover ceremony, he couldn't help but ask: "Lord Ye Ling, may I ask, do you have other teams that will come later?"

Ye Ling shook his head and said, "No, this is all the people I brought!"

Hearing this, Pu Sen immediately frowned: "This, Lord Ye Ling, maybe you don't know much about the situation in Manhattan, we are now stationed next to the Yin Wind Doom, there are about 4,000 people! Your manpower, I'm afraid it will be a little less, right? Although our lord is willing to give you Manhattan, he once told him that the Liliang you brought is enough to ensure the safety of this city, otherwise, we will not carry out the handover!"

Of course, Ye Ling also wants to bring more people over, but this is already the limit, now the manpower of all his territories, including the mercenaries, is barely close to five thousand, Ye Ling still has to stay part of it on the Ipsway side, although that territory is remote, but it can still continue to absorb and send some talents to himself, not to mention spending so much energy on development, if he loses it now, it would be a pity, so he only took about half of the people.

Although there are not many left, Shili over there should not dare to invade if they learn that they have a new city next to the Gold Coast.

"I know, but, Pusen City Lord, don't worry, in addition to these people, I also brought a batch of magic cannons and mechas, and the energy is also quite sufficient, so I should be able to handle it. ”

After seeing the role of magic cannons and mecha in Oregon, Ye Ling spent a lot of money to buy a batch of magic cannons and mecha from the Astral Alliance during this time, and now this new batch of them also came in handy.

Pu Sen was a little relieved, although Manhattan was about to break away from the empty county, but he still had a deep affection for the city, and he said with a straight face: "Lord Ye Ling, from now on, Manhattan will be handed over to you, I hope you can treat the people here well!"

Ye Ling said solemnly: "I will!"

The two sides completed the simple handover ceremony, and Pu Sen said again: "Lord Ye Ling, your team has just come here, it should be very tired, let's have a good rest tonight, we will continue to suppress the Yin Wind Doom, and we will not all evacuate until tomorrow morning, what do you think?"

"Okay, then it's going to trouble the Pusen City Lord!"

The night was silent, and the team was well rested. In the early morning of the next day, Ye Ling got up, and after finishing his work, he asked people to go to Pu Sen, and personally took his team to take over.

This yin wind misfortune that makes Roger so painful that he has to abandon the city, I want to see what it looks like!
