"Wright, everything in the city has been sorted out. You can lead the soldiers to Mike's village and help Mike and the others." Vito found Wright at the city gate and said to him.
"Okay, Brother Vito, I understand. We are ready to leave now." After hearing Vito's arrangement, Wright turned around to gather the soldiers, and soon led the team outside Terra City to go to the Goblin Village.
Already.
Vito looked at Wright's retreating figure and felt a faint feeling of distress in his heart. He was still his immature brother, but in just a few days he had become the pillar of the village. His belief in making Lin Li's blood stronger became even stronger.
Get up, we can't let these little guys endure so much anymore.
"Have Wright and the others already set off?" Lin Li took Xiaojin and the others to Vito's side and asked as he looked at the team that had left.
"Well, we have already set off. We just need to wait for their good news." Vito said while looking at the city gate with a smile.
"Well, let's deal with the mess in the city these days." Lin Li said as he looked at the dilapidated buildings in the city.
"Lord Lin Li! But I've found you!" A hoarse shout sounded in the distance from Lin Li. Lin Li squinted for a long time before he saw clearly that it was Jerry, the owner of his old friend's ore store.
"No, this is Jerry, the owner of the ore store who helped me help the refugees in the city. He used to be a big profiteer, and I almost fell into his trap." Lin Li looked up at Jerry, who was running towards him from a distance, and smiled.
Said Vito.
"I know him. These businessmen in the city hand over a large amount of gold coins to the city lord every month, so everyone has become mercenary and has no human kindness at all." Vito nodded and said.
"Huh, I'm exhausted." Jerry ran to Lin Li and bent over, breathing heavily, "Huh? Mr. Vi... Mr. Vito?! Why are you here too?" Jerry looked up and saw clearly.
Vito, who was next to Lin Li, shouted in surprise.
Vito didn't say anything, and looked at Jerry in front of him with a smile. His smile was a bit strange with his face covered with scars.
Jerry looked at Vito, then at Lin Li and murmured in his heart, "Didn't Lin Li just overthrow the city lord? Why did the city lord's capable military advisor appear next to him again? How could these two people still talk about each other?
He looked like he was smiling."
Lin Li looked at the confused Jerry, stopped teasing him, and said with a smile: "Your Lord Vito has another identity, that is, the leader of the Flame Demon Clan."
"Ah?!" Lin Li's words completely overturned Jerry's understanding. This person who had been by the city lord's side for many years was actually the leader of the Fire Demon Clan who had been fighting against the city lord? Jerry looked carefully again.
With the scars on Vito's face, I began to sincerely admire Vito in my heart.
"Okay, don't be surprised. Why are you so anxious to see me?" Lin Li asked, interrupting Jerry's admiring look.
"Ah, Lord Lin Li, the citizens in the city are asking around who overthrew Duke Tyral's rule over us. They all want to know who you are with such great power, but now many citizens are saying
It's just that changing the city lord will not have any impact on their lives. I told them that Mr. Lin Li is a good man and will definitely not oppress us like Duke Tyral, but now they don't believe it." Jerry said indignantly.
As he said this, he was very angry that they doubted Lin Li's character.
"How can I control what they want to think, and I won't be a city lord." Lin Li said with an indifferent expression.
"You don't want to be the new city lord?" Jerry shouted again in surprise, wondering why Lin Li had spent so much effort to overthrow the old city lord if he didn't want to be the city lord.
"Well, I think there is someone more suitable than me, so I'd better leave all this mess to him." Lin Li said, looking at Vito beside him.
"You want me to be the city lord?" Vito asked slightly surprised.
"Who else can I leave it to? I'm afraid that if I leave it to someone else, it won't change at all from before. Then I'll suffer all this in vain." Lin Li spread his hands to express that I can rest assured that you can handle the matter.
"Well, I understand, and I will definitely live up to your trust." Vito said firmly without any further evasion.
"Okay, let's see what we can do. Let's gather all the citizens who are fine in the city and let them come and see their new city lord." Lin Li patted Jerry who was stunned when he heard the conversation between the two.
Said with a smile.
"Ah, okay, okay, I'll go right away." Jerry agreed in a daze and ran to the city. "Everyone who has nothing to do, go and gather in front of the city lord's palace and wait for our new city lord!" Jerry said at the scene.
They kept shouting in the streets and alleys, and soon their voices were almost hoarse.
"The new city lord? Who is he?"
"Whatever, just go and see and you will find out."
"I hope this new city lord will consider us."
"I don't think so... I'd better go and have a look first before talking."
The citizens in the city began to talk about it one after another, and they all walked towards the palace in the city.
Now half of the city lord's palace has sunk into the ground, and the lava beast is dragging around it. A large open space has been cleared, allowing citizens to gather in this open space.
At this time, Vito was standing on the steps of the abandoned city lord's palace. Lin Li, Xiao Jin and the others were standing in the open space in front of the city lord's palace. Behind them, there were tens of thousands of densely packed citizens, all talking excitedly and thinking.
Let’s see who this new city lord is.
"Ahem!" Following Vito's two coughs from the city lord's palace, the citizens in the open space became silent.
"Hello everyone, my name is Vito. I believe everyone is familiar with my name."
"Vito? That's not the city lord's strategist? How could he be the city lord? Isn't it the same as before?" When the citizens below heard Vito's name, they started talking again.
"Everyone only knows that I am the strategist of the city lord. In fact, my true identity is a member of the Fire Demon tribe. For the sake of my tribe, I cut off my horns and lurked beside the city lord. The strategies I devised for him were all
The strategy of minimizing the damage within my ability, and all these years of lurking, are just for today, to overthrow this cruel city lord, return my people, and bring justice to those who are oppressed. And if all of this can succeed, it is also
Thanks to Master Lin Li for your help."
As Vito spoke, he turned his attention to Lin Li, who was standing at the front.
"Today, I was also entrusted by Lord Lin Li to be the city lord of Terra City. I also followed his ideas and my wishes to change this city, reduce oppression, reduce tax burdens, and reduce everyone's burden. Let's work together
