In this way, under Lin's guidance, a group of ten people galloped forward.
Accompanied by the biting wind that kept whistling past my ears.
It didn't take long before the outline of a town similar in size to Kongqing Town gradually came into view.
There is no doubt that a one-and-a-half-day carriage journey for ordinary people is only a ten-minute journey for the powerful men on our side.
"Reached?"
Seeing this, Lei Xiao, who was riding on the giant white wolf, waved his hand to signal his subordinates to slow down.
Immediately afterwards, he easily jumped off Bai Wei's back. With a thought, he distributed the illusion cloak and said, "Let's go to the city first and have a look."
"I obey! Lord!" On the other side, all the subordinates bowed and clasped their fists.
This time, in order to hide from others, all members of our team put on illusion cloaks that can change their appearance.
Polygonum cuspidatum and Ye Cang were used as trump cards, hidden under the invisibility cloak.
In this way, everyone on our side, disguised as ordinary travelers, quickly arrived at the outskirts of the city along the broad road.
At a glance, we can see a lot of green farmland scattered around the city.
Among them, you can also see many farmers working, coming and going, giving a sense of the busy farming season.
"Lord, our Kongqing Town is mainly engaged in commerce, while this Mailan Town is an agricultural town." At this time, Lin, who was listening to the side, introduced respectfully.
After putting on the illusion cloak, her delicate and neutral face became much more ordinary.
But the eyebrows add a heroic spirit, and coupled with the fair face, at first glance, he looks like a high-spirited young man.
"That's it." Lei Xiao nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes, and continued to observe.
Behind the vast green farmland are the city's towering stone walls.
The city wall here is significantly higher than Kongqing Town, almost comparable to Gelin City.
There are longing figures on it, flags fluttering in the wind, and the strength of the guards looks very impressive.
"Lord, this is different from Kongqing Town, which has only emerged in recent years.
This town of Mailan has been run by the family for generations and has a profound foundation."
Immediately, Lin, who was closely following Lei Xiao, introduced softly: "Here, there are a total of 4,000 regular garrison troops and 3 squadrons of second-level elite guards.
And, just like Kongqing Town, there are also 1,000 regular troops deployed to the border battlefield."
"That is to say, at present, there are still three brigades of conventional defense forces and three squadrons of elite defense forces here?
I have to say that in terms of strength alone, it is indeed better than Kongqing Town."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to look around and asked, "How many strong people are there at level three or above here?"
"Back to the lord, according to the investigation by my subordinates, including the city lord himself, there are a total of 9 third-level strong men.
Among them, two are currently on the border battlefield, and there are no strong men above level four."
On the other side, Lin bowed slightly and responded in a thoughtful manner.
"Very good, Lin, the investigation is good." Lei Xiao nodded approvingly and noticed.
At this time, a group of ten of our own had already arrived at the gate of the city.
I saw two teams of tall guards guarding the gate, standing neatly, their armors shining in the sunlight.
But the soldiers' faces were all filled with sadness, and they didn't even pay attention to the people coming and going, let alone perform their due inspection duties.
"Lord, something is obviously not right about these guards, as if they have something on their minds." Seeing this, Lin couldn't help but frown slightly and whispered to Lei Xiao.
"Indeed, not only the soldiers guarding the gate, but also the local residents who come and go seem to be worried."
Looking at the simple farmers passing by carrying various farm tools, Lei Xiao continued: "It seems that some unknown event must have happened here recently."
"Lord, do you think Kunbu may have been involved in this unknown incident?" Lin said softly while looking around cautiously.
"There is a possibility." Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, quickened his pace slightly, and said: "In short, let's go to the city and have a look first."
In this way, we successfully entered Mailan Town.
As usual, Lei Xiao immediately signaled the most perceptive Polygonum Weed to scan.
Then, I started to continue observing.
The streets of this town exude an ancient atmosphere everywhere.
The shops and buildings on both sides, and many wooden structures, have many signs of new repairs.
Even the paved road under your feet has mostly been smoothed away, obviously due to the passage of time over a long period of time.
All in all, from all aspects.
This Mailan Town is indeed, as Lin said, a city with a rich history.
"However, the most important thing is that there is indeed a strange atmosphere here." Lei Xiao couldn't help but thought to himself as he looked at the passers-by calmly.
"Lord, my subordinates found seven auras of third-level powerhouses here.
Currently, there are five groups concentrated in the back of the city center."
After a while, the voice of the knotweed hidden under the cloak came through the words.
"It seems that, if nothing goes wrong, that's the City Lord's Mansion." Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully as he continued to advance on the street.
"However, Lord, what is a bit strange is that the five third-order auras gathered together are very strong.
Obviously, they are all releasing their own energy and are in a fighting state, as if they are facing a powerful enemy."
"Oh?" After hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show doubts on his face, and asked: "What about the other two third-level powers?"
"Returning to the lord, the other two third-level forces did not move at all." Immediately afterwards, the sound of the tiger stick reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"The five forces are in combat mode, but the other two forces are not responding? Coupled with the strange scope that pervades the city, what exactly is happening here?"
Just when Lei Xiao frowned slightly and thought of this.
Without any warning, one after another, dull horn sounds suddenly came from the center of the town.
The next second, the city gate not far behind everyone began to slowly close.
At the same time, accompanied by the sound of dense footsteps and the sound of armor clashing, a large number of fully armed soldiers began to swarm up the city wall.
The surrounding civilians also began to flee in all directions, closing their doors and windows.
There is no doubt that this strange city has obviously entered an inexplicable state of war.
