In front of a luxury shop not far ahead, two teams of heavily armed soldiers were seen turning from pushing each other to fighting each other.
In the blink of an eye, there was a complete scuffle, making the whole scene a mess, with the sound of "clang, clang, clang, clang" of armor clashing and curses constantly heard.
Lei Xiao's eyes passed over the stirring dust, and he noticed further.
The stag emblem of the Shanglu family is engraved on the front of the breastplates of these soldiers. However, the armor of the side with more people is brown, while the armor of the side with fewer people is gray.
Although neither side drew out their waist weapons, they were just fighting each other with bare hands, seemingly to avoid further escalation of the situation.
But the ferocious faces, the helmets that were knocked to the ground, and the teeth and blood that kept flying out of their mouths showed that both sides were obviously not as restrained as they seemed.
As for the other vendors and passers-by around them, they immediately and skillfully gave up a large area without causing much panic.
From this, it is not difficult to see that this sudden fight is obviously not the first time it has happened.
"Lin, it seems that the Phytolacca family no longer cares about face so much."
Lei Xiao looked at the Shangluc family soldiers struggling together and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Lord, when I came to Lionheart City last time, such a situation never happened."
Lin's red lips were slightly opened, with an unexpected look on her fair face, and she whispered to Lei Xiao: "Soldiers wearing brown armor, belonging to the Guards Corps of the Shanglu family, composed of 5 elders who support Hanshui
Control, responsible for inner city protection and family law enforcement."
"The soldiers wearing gray armor are the city patrol regiment of the Shanglu family. They are controlled by four elders who are opposed to Han Shui and are responsible for the security and patrol of the outer city."
At this point, Lin's willow brows couldn't help but frown slightly: "Although these two legions have their own masters and often conflict secretly, as my subordinates said, they are still harmonious on the surface. Unexpectedly,
Now there are open fights in the streets."
"Then the matter is already very clear. It seems that the conflict between the opposing elders, Duke Hanshui and the supporting elders has reached an irreconcilable point."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, crossed his arms across his chest and said, "This is a good opportunity for us to intervene."
"Lord, the Guards are the elite among soldiers, while the city patrol is just a strong soldier. In addition, the Guards have a numerical advantage, and the winner of this fight has already been decided."
Gale's eyes narrowed slightly, while staring at the chaotic situation in front of him, he bowed slightly to Lei Xiao.
Just as Gale said, the city patrol soldiers in gray armor were quickly beaten with bruises and bruises by the Guards soldiers, and blood spurted everywhere.
Then, the Guards soldiers in brown armor took out a stack of thick seals and began to work separately, quickly sealing off an entire row of shops on this street.
"The east part of the city is an area controlled by four opposition elders, and the shops have just closed down."
Lin's fair face was full of surprise, and she said in disbelief: "This kind of thing could never have happened before."
"It's not just this street, it's also over there."
Gale raised his arm and pointed deep into the corner of the street.
It can be clearly seen that the place is crowded, many shops have seals, and they have obviously been closed down.
"This shows that the four opposition elders are completely at a disadvantage."
Lei Xiao looked at these unscrupulous guardsmen with a faint smile on his face: "I have to say, we came at just the right time."
"It's true. The four opposition elders are weak. This is the best time for us to win over each other!"
Ariel's face was full of excitement, and then she said doubtfully: "But Lord, how should we contact each other specifically? Should we visit directly?"
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's observe and observe first."
Lei Xiao waved his hand gently, indicating to his subordinates to spread out on the street and not attract each other's attention.
Just when the main subordinates had just dispersed around, a young woman wearing an orange robe hurried over with a group of Gray Armor City patrols.
The orange-robed woman's chest was also engraved with the Shanglu family coat of arms. Her fair face, dotted with freckles on both sides of her nose, was full of uncontrollable anger, mixed with a bit of condescension and unruliness. She looked simply
Exactly the same as Kelly back then.
"Lord, she is Laisili, the granddaughter of the opposition chief elder. She is an extremely unruly and domineering guy. She looked down on her subordinates and Sister Lin at first, and she was one of the main figures who bullied the side clan."
Kelly wrinkled her nose and came up, frowning at Lei Xiao and said: "Relying on the great elder's power and abundant resources, this guy has reached the third level of peak strength very early, and is making all the difference among the younger generation of the Shanglu family.
I never thought it would happen today!"
"Another eldest lady of the Shangluc family? She is also the granddaughter of the opposition elder."
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around Laisili, and said leisurely: "We have found a breakthrough point to contact the four opposition elders."
"You bastards, you actually do this cruelly in front of the street!"
Not far away, Laisili's fair face was filled with anger and annoyance. While ordering her men to carry away the wounded soldiers, she shouted coldly: "Why did you suddenly close the shops here?"
"Young, isn't this Miss Silly?"
A Guards commander took off his helmet, revealing a joking and distorted face of a young man. He said confidently: "I'm sorry, I just received a report that someone here is building dangerous magic barriers wantonly. I
When your responsibilities lie, you can't ignore them."
"Don't worry, after the investigation is completed, the Guards will lift the blockade here."
The commander with a distorted face raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "However, Miss Laisili also knows that the main force of the Guards has followed the family leader on the expedition, and it is a time when there is a shortage of manpower. As for when the investigation can be completed,
Then it depends on our mood."
Lei Xiao learned about it through Kelly's introduction.
This young commander's name is Lucas, and he is one of the five loyal followers who support the elders.
"Lucas, you bastard! I must teach you a lesson!"
Laisili's staff has appeared on the palm of her hand, and water vapor has begun to rise from the top. It is obvious that she does not intend to continue talking nonsense with the other party.
"Prison of Water!"
Laisili's fair complexion darkened, and a giant water ball quickly sprang out from the top of the staff, whistling and directly wrapping up a mocking Guards squad leader not far away.
As the Guards captain struggled and suffocated in the water polo, the two sides were at war with each other again, and soon they were fighting again.
On the neatly repaired streets, soldiers from both sides were torn together like enemies, rolling back and forth on the ground, stirring up waves of dust.
The fists as big as sandbags were hit hard on the opponent's cheek, causing the blood flowing from the nose and mouth to continue to fall on the surrounding ground, dyeing everything a shocking bright red.
This time, with the huge water balls that Laisili continuously shot out, all the main soldiers of the Guards were wrapped and suspended in the air. The city patrol had the upper hand for a while, and the battle began to intensify.
However, Lysil's advantage did not last long.
Lucas was obviously well prepared, under his sneer command.
More Guards soldiers armed with wooden sticks began to pour out from all directions on the street corners, and soon beat dozens of city patrol soldiers to bloody heads, screaming and unable to get up.
As for Laisili, she originally wanted to put up a final resistance, but unexpectedly, Lucas quietly walked around behind her.
"Haha, that's it for the unruly and willful Miss Laisili!"
Lucas suddenly threw out a punch, knocking the unprepared Laisili away from behind and falling heavily to the ground in front of her.
"cough!"
With several retching sounds and blood coming from the corner of her mouth, Laisili struggled to get up from the ground, but was already being held up by two tall Guards soldiers, unable to move at all.
"Lucas, how dare you do this to me, my grandfather will never let you go!"
Although Laisili's face was pale, she still said reluctantly: "When the time comes, I will kill you with my own hands!"
"Haha, come on, Miss Silly, stop talking to yourself."
Lucas looked confident and joked: "Your grandfather already has too much to take care of himself, how can he still take care of you?"
"You, you actually dare to attack the elders of the family council of elders?"
Laisili was stunned for a moment, then said with a look of surprise on her face: "Even the head of the family does not have the right to attack the elders at will!"
"If we find evidence that harms the family's main city, then we'll talk about it separately."
Lucas looked grim and said coldly: "Didn't I, the general, just say that? Someone has secretly built a dangerous magic barrier here."
"You insidious scum!"
Laisili reacted immediately, bit her lips and said: "This time the army went out, the head of the family took away almost all the strong men under grandfather's command, and the city patrol only left some old, weak, sick and disabled. It turns out that you have already
It’s all planned!”
"The Shanglu family's army will naturally clear away some obstacles. Not only the despicable outsider and the fifth princess, but also the old diehards in the family who have been opposing the family head. No one can disobey the majesty of the family head."
Lucas' distorted face was filled with a sinister smile, and he sneered: "As long as this general finds evidence of building a dangerous barrier, the four old diehards who have no more usable soldiers around them will be close to death, even though they
Now he is under house arrest."
"Or they will immediately try to flee in fear of crime, and then be shot and killed on the spot."
There was a touch of wretchedness in Lucas's solemn eyes, and he began to look up and down Sili's slender body: "Dear young lady, if you know the current affairs, maybe this general can protect you.
Poor life."
"Don't even think about it!"
Although she was extremely panicked in her heart, Laisili still had a cold expression on her face and said categorically: "I would rather die here!"
However, Laisili didn't notice at this time.
The giant city gate not far away has quietly closed, and the Guards soldiers have also drawn out the sharp blades at their waists. This undoubtedly means that a real killing is about to come.
"Then you should die for me first!"
Lucas did not continue to struggle with Laisili. He also pulled out the sharp blade from his waist and slashed at the latter without hesitation, just like a jackal finally showing its sharp fangs.
"The farce ends here."
A dull voice sounded.
The sharp long sword drew a path of death, pierced the armor and penetrated Lucas's chest, easily killing the Guards commander who had been extremely arrogant just now.
The person who spoke was none other than Lei Xiao.
The one who took action was Rei, who was a battle doll.
The reason why Lei Xiao chose to let Lian take action was because in the recent wars, Lian had been extremely low-key and would not be immediately noticed by his opponents.
Of course, Lei Xiao also understood clearly.
It was only a matter of time before he was noticed. After all, few people had the courage to take action in the main city of the Shanglu family.
As for the two soldiers who held Lai Sili up, they were shot dead by Nan Xing Nan Yue at the same time.
"Miss, it was the master who hired us to protect you secretly."
Following Lei Xiao's instructions, Lian used a mercenary's tone and nodded to Laisili, who was still in shock: "Follow me!"
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao and his team brought Sili and quickly disappeared at the end of the street corner ahead.
In the process of taking action, Lei Xiao also took care of the rest of the Guards soldiers and ordered Erza to create a large fog, trapping everyone present to prevent anyone from immediately reporting the news.
Not long after, following Lin's guidance, the group finally arrived at an abandoned alchemy workshop that was rarely visited by people.
"Thank you for your help and saving my life!"
Laisili just stood in the deserted factory, and then she bowed to the group of people, caressing her chest, and then frowned at the leader Lei Xiao and said: "Who are you? I have never heard my grandfather mention mercenaries.
things."
"It doesn't matter who I am, but you should be familiar with these three people, right?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, then nodded to Erza, indicating to the latter to remove Lin, Gale and Kelly's illusion clothes.
As a looming mist passed by, when Laisili saw the faces of Lin and the others clearly, she couldn't help but have a look of surprise on her face, and said in disbelief: "Why, how could it be you?"
Laisili never thought that one day she would be rescued by a member of the side clan whom she despised!
"Cousin Laisili, long time no see."
Lin smiled and greeted the surprised person politely.
Gale also smiled and nodded, but Kelly snorted softly, pouted and muttered: "Hey, if it weren't for a reason, I wouldn't want to get involved with a guy like you with his nostrils in the sky."
"But why do you want to save this lady?"
Laisili was still in a daze, and said with a face full of surprise: "Aren't you afraid of offending the family master, Duke Hanshui and other powerful guys? Those people are the ones you absolutely cannot afford to offend!"
"A mere duke? I haven't taken it seriously yet."
This time, Ariel released the illusion and appeared in plain clothes in front of Laisili.
