The city wall, which is about seven or eight feet high, can be considered magnificent. At least in cities of the level of Kuocheng, there are very few city walls built to this level.
However, compared to other counties and cities, Kuocheng only has one gate, which is the south gate located in the south of Kuocheng. For such a huge city, there is only one gate, which will obviously make the residents in the city extremely nervous.
It's inconvenient, but it hasn't changed at all over the years.
The reason is also very simple. When Kuocheng was first built, a matching formation was built. If the city gate is rebuilt, the formation will inevitably need to be readjusted. And the defense formation of Kuocheng,
No one could transform it, so to this day, Kuocheng still has only one south gate.
At this moment, on the top of a hill in the south of Kuocheng, there are two figures looking at the city wall of Kuocheng. One of them is as big and strong as a violent bear, and the other is slightly skinny, especially against the strong man beside him.
Make the person look thinner.
That sturdy and burly man was naturally the Great Blood Slaughter Minghai of the Nether Clan's Blood Slayer Army. And the person standing next to him was the Lin family's chief shopkeeper in Kuocheng.
In fact, the current big shopkeeper is very conflicted. He had never and dared not imagine that things would develop to this point. The exposure of the old streets in the west of the city made him lose his original escape route to deal with emergencies. The Mu family has been
The people led by Captain Lin turned against each other, leaving themselves vulnerable to enemies from both sides at the critical moment.
Originally, he was ambitious and had unlimited confidence in controlling Kuocheng, and he had no intention of relying on external forces, especially the power of the Netherworld beast. But when he was really pushed to the last step, the big shopkeeper found that he had only the Netherworld clan as a way out, otherwise
Not only does Kuocheng no longer have any relationship with him, but the family's plan that has been hidden for nearly a hundred years may also be in vain.
After thinking of this, the shopkeeper sighed softly in his heart, and at the same time slowly took out a small cyan flag from the storage crystal, raised it high and waved it twice in the air.
Not long after, a cyan flag suddenly appeared on the top of the city, waving twice in the same way.
Ming Hai could see the changes in this scene even more clearly than the big shopkeeper, and the gloomy and tense face finally showed some relief. But when he spoke, his voice was cold.
"Since you have made arrangements at the city gate, why didn't you find a way to break open the city gate from the beginning and lure my Netherworld clan into the city?"
Faced with Ming Hai's question and the aggressive gaze, the big shopkeeper did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately began to explain. "The original defense of the city gate was completed by the four ghost painting families of King Su, and the real power was in their hands.
After all, the people I arranged are only a handful, and there is no way they can do anything.
Later, the Ghost Painter was defeated miserably, and the defense of the city gate was completely taken over by the Su Wang family, and even my number was immediately reduced by half. Under this situation, I did not dare to act rashly, so I could only try other tricks again."
Seeing that Ming Hai's expression softened slightly, the big shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "If the secret place where we were hiding had not been discovered and we were suddenly attacked by the enemy, I would have been able to welcome the bloody massacre within a few days.
Your Excellency and your people enter the city.
Although the situation has changed now, fortunately, your tribe has been sent into the city, and with the cooperation of my lurking men, the city gate will probably be captured soon."
When the big shopkeeper explained, his attitude was obviously very sincere, and when he spoke, he was very careful in speaking. The truth and lies were mixed together, so that even those who knew the inside story would have a hard time hearing the lies.
"Then how can you be sure that the following plan will not fail as idiotically as before?" Although Ming Hai's tone was cold, his face was a little less solemn than before.
There was no immediate answer. The big shopkeeper took out a small red flag from the storage crystal and waved it twice in the air. Then the figure on the wall paused for a moment, and then a red flag appeared and waved once before disappearing.
There was movement.
The big shopkeeper withdrew his gaze and quickly explained, "The red flag refers to another group of people. They were originally ghost painters and warriors who ambush among the city gate guards. Later, the ghost painters were defeated and they immediately left.
City guards were lurking everywhere in the city.
Now that Master Minghai's kinsmen have entered the city, among the various forces in the city, there must be those who are willing to compromise and cooperate with the Netherworld clan in order to protect themselves. As soon as the time comes, they will attack together and seize the city gate directly.
The red flag has only moved once, which means that those people are still in the process of persuading the various forces and everything is going well. If the red flag wavers twice, it means that preparations are complete. If it is contrary to my flag language, the flag is used.
A blue flag indicates that the action has encountered problems and obstacles."
After hearing the big shopkeeper's explanation, Ming Hai's expression really softened, and when he looked at Kuocheng in the distance again, there was already a touch of heat in his eyes unconsciously.
At this moment, there was a lot of excitement outside Kuocheng. Just a dozen days ago, the Nether Beasts operating near Kuocheng were attacked one after another.
The squads of Nether Beasts that followed orders and patrolled the mountains disappeared one after another. Later, under the investigation of some high-level Nether Beasts, they discovered that there were indeed traces of fighting and the blood of Nether Beasts on the patrol route.
After this change occurred, the Nether Clan immediately began to organize larger-scale patrols, and several times more Nether Beasts were deployed near the location where they were attacked.
However, this approach did not achieve very good results. Even if the sixth-order Nether Beast participated in the patrol, there was still no big gain.
Apart from some traces of human settlement in the mountains and forests, nothing else was found.
The biggest characteristic of this group of people is that they have no fixed abode, and they will be very careful to hide themselves when staying in a certain location. As long as the patrolling Nether Beasts are killed nearby, these people will move around in a large area.
, and leave no trace behind.
These people fought cleanly, not even giving the Netherworld Beast any chance to report. They also evacuated cleanly, leaving no clues for tracking.
Facing such a group of humans gave the Nether Beasts near Kuocheng a headache. In the end, they even began to shrink their teams. Each team was led by a sixth-level Nether Beast.
However, in this way, although the strength of each team of the Nether Beasts has been strengthened, the scope of search and patrol has been shortened instantly. In this case, the hope of finding the group of humans is even slimmer, and the Nether Beasts have given up hope.
If it weren't for the eighth-level Nether Beast Minghai, which focused most of its energy on Guanmen City, this group of human warriors wouldn't be able to stir up trouble in the area near Kuocheng.
In fact, after killing more than a dozen teams of Nether Beasts in a row, these human warriors have also become aware of the danger. In their subsequent actions, they will deliberately avoid the open city and move towards a wider area as much as possible.
Until early this morning, the entire southern Xuanwu was covered by thick fog. This group of humans happened to want to move when they got up in the morning, but they did not dare to move around because of the fog.
It wasn't until the sky was bright and the thick fog had almost dissipated that everyone suddenly felt a fluctuating aura appearing in the distance. Because the fluctuating aura contained an obvious smell of space power, it immediately caused a stir.
got everyone's attention.
Then a raging wind blew by, which not only had a faint fishy smell, but everyone could also feel the violent and domineering atmosphere mixed in it.
Because the sun has risen, everyone can use this to identify the direction, so it was immediately determined that whether it was the fluctuation of space energy before or the hurricane with a violent aura later, it was coming from the direction of Kuocheng.
Come.
"The situation seems to have undergone some special changes?" Li Xiao, who is somewhat short in stature, deliberately straightened his body a little when speaking, but he was still a bit shorter than his brother Li Lei next to him.
The two brothers had been together for a long time, and Li Xiao's small movements no longer attracted Li Lei's attention. Instead, he turned his attention to Kuocheng in the distance and couldn't help but say.
"There must have been some changes in the situation. It's just that we can't determine whether it's for better or worse. It seems we'll have to ask our seniors for some advice on what we should do next." At the end of the sentence, Li Lei's eyes were unconscious.
He looked towards the middle-aged man who was sitting cross-legged and meditating not far away.
Although the middle-aged man only wore coarse linen clothes and had very little spiritual energy fluctuations outside his body, when Li Xiao and Li Lei looked at the middle-aged man, they both had a sense of awe in their eyes that could not be concealed.
During this period of time, they had been dealing with the Netherworld Beast in the mountains and forests, waiting for news from Zuo Feng. However, not only did the news not come, they also discovered that the entire Kuocheng was completely closed, and all contact with the outside world was completely cut off.
Brothers Li Xiao and Li Lei acted steadily, but they had never had the experience of leading a team, and they didn't know what to do at such a time. In the end, it was the middle-aged man who stood up and directed everyone's actions.
It turned out to be a disaster, and it never failed.
Zuo Feng has never introduced the identity of the middle-aged man to everyone. Firstly, it is for the safety of the middle-aged man, and also because of the internal agreement in the ancient wasteland.
This middle-aged man is of course Huan Kong from Duotian Mountain. He has been following Zuo Feng's team. Due to changes in Kuocheng, he and Zuo Feng's men can only move around temporarily.
When Li Lei and Li Xiao looked at each other, Huan Kong slowly opened his eyes as if he had realized something. Li Lei and Li Xiao were no longer surprised by Huan Kong's ability to seem to know everyone's movements. It was mysterious.
Seniors, naturally they have mysterious methods.
"The situation in Kuocheng is very delicate right now. Let's set off now and lurk near Kuocheng. We should be able to help you, the Lord of Feng City."
After hearing Huan Kong's words, Li Lei and Li Xiao did not hesitate for a moment. They stood up and greeted their companions around them, and immediately began to move towards Kuocheng.
