The city lord of the Immortal City does not have a very high official position in the whole hell, but he still has considerable authority in the local area.
Now that a small envoy is so arrogant, if he welcomes the Mad Lion Legion into the city, won't he be in trouble in the future?
"Hmph, my general also said at that time that the Lord of the Immortal City could take on a big responsibility.
Under the pressure of the Yins, he could still hold on to the city and not succumb to them.
Originally, the general wanted to seize the trapped city and hand over the 300-mile radius of the trapped city to the city lord, but now it seems."
Upon hearing that the three hundred miles radius of the trapped city was handed over to the city lord of the Immortal City, all the ghost kings in the city lord's mansion, including the city lord, couldn't help but look happy.
What is the concept of a radius of three hundred miles? That is all the jurisdiction around the trapped city. The profits brought by it are enough to make any force jealous.
Because of the special geographical location of the trapped city, between the Underworld and Hell, most businessmen traveling in both worlds gather here, and the profits are extremely huge.
The masked messenger glanced around the hall, then sneered, turned around and walked out the door.
"The messenger stayed..."
Seeing that the envoy was about to leave after a disagreement, the city lord quickly stood up to persuade him to stay.
"Why, does the city lord want to kill me?"
The envoy wearing a mask, with his back to the city lord, was full of arrogance.
If it were in the past, the city lord would definitely kill him without hesitation, but today he had to bow to the opponent.
"Haha, messenger, don't be angry, this is just a misunderstanding.
The Mad Lion Legion has come to my Immortal City. This is the blessing of my Immortal City. How can we let the envoy salute?
This subordinate of mine does not know the rules, so I ask the envoy to forgive me."
As the city lord spoke, he came down from his seat and clasped his fists at the envoy, his face full of eagerness and flattery.
"Hmph, I will decide this matter for General Ming. Let's see how he handles it. If this matter gets out, where will the face of my Mad Lion Legion be put?"
The man wearing the mask is still unyielding, and the meaning in his words is very clear, that is, he will never give up unless he takes it seriously.
"Don't be angry, envoy. This ghost leader has angered the envoy. Then I will kill him directly to vent my anger for you."
After the city lord finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the ghost general of the Immortal City who had just spoken. He pinched him gently and his soul was instantly gone.
"Is the envoy satisfied with this?"
The city lord held a will-o'-the-wisp and said with a smile on his face.
For a city lord, there are not tens of thousands but thousands of ghosts under it. Sacrificing a ghost to gain the favor of others in the future feels very cost-effective to him.
Since the other party had achieved this step, the messenger didn't say anything more, but nodded.
"Since the city lord expressed his loyalty to this, let's just forget about it. This is the general's handwritten letter. Please read it."
A letter flew out of the messenger's hand and landed directly in front of the city lord.
The city lord quickly browsed through the letter, his face full of ecstasy.
"Haha, okay, the Mad Lion Legion is indeed one of the top ten legions of hell, and they do things quickly.
I have a few mid-level soul stones here, which are not valuable, so I will give them to the envoy. The envoy will pay a visit and tell the general that I will live up to everyone's expectations."
The messenger had a few more stones that emitted a faint blue-red light, which made all the ghost kings around him swallow their saliva.
"That's very good. I'll take my leave now."
The messenger waved his hand and put the few soul stones into his soul weapon, then cupped his hand and walked outside alone.
Seeing the other party getting further and further away, the city lord smiled even more like a maniac.
"Come here, hurry up and find out if the Mad Lion Legion is camping and resting five miles away.
Also, go quickly to inquire about the military situation in the besieged city, and report as soon as you have any news."
The Undead City Lord sent away several imps one after another, then he rubbed his hands and looked at the confused ghost kings behind him.
"Everyone, there is no need to doubt!
It is indeed the Mad Lion Legion. The conditions they gave us are very simple, that is, stationed five miles away from the Immortal City to help us resist the harassment of the trapped city.
This time they have 450,000 troops and horses from all walks of life, mainly to attract the attention of the soldiers trapped in the city.
After all the troops trapped in the trapped city were dispatched to the Night City for rescue, we launched troops from both sides and captured the trapped city in one fell swoop.
After the besieged city is captured, I will send a large army to protect it. At that time, the position of city lord will be handed over to me, because they have to go elsewhere.
Everyone, do you think this is a great joy?"
After the city lord finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed, looking extremely proud.
“A good thing is a good thing, but I don’t know if it’s true or not!
If they really give us the trapped city, it will indeed be a great thing for us!
However, if they just want us to send troops to waste the troops in the trapped city, and use us as pawns to capture the trapped city, but they don’t give us the city master’s order, what should we do?”
It was the old man named Deadwood who spoke.
As soon as he said these words, the originally happy city lord suddenly became quiet again.
"Ku Mu is right, but I didn't expect this. So, can you tell us what we should do next?"
At this time, all the ghost kings in the city lord's palace focused their attention on Kumu.
"How about we hold a big banquet tonight, invite their main generals to come to the banquet, and then find out the truth at the banquet.
If they are sincere, we will believe them this time. If there is a ghost, it would be better..."
Kumu made a cutting motion, and everyone present could understand that it meant beheading.
"City Lord, I think Kumu is right. We can't obey their mercy. We still have to seize the opportunity ourselves."
Another ghost king also nodded in agreement.
"I also agree..."
"I also agree..."
Each ghost king immediately expressed his own opinion and agreed with Kumu's meaning.
The city lord thought for a moment and finally nodded.
"Okay, Deadwood, then I'll let you do this.
Remember, only invite their most important person in charge, and do not invite anyone else."
"yes……"
Kumu bowed to accept the order, then clasped his fists and retreated.
"City Lord, this dead tree was once captured by the trapped city. If we trust him like this, is there any fraud involved?"
After Kumu left, the young man who had talked to Kumu before cupped his fists and reminded him.
"It doesn't matter, after Deadwood entered the trapped city, he pretended to surrender, and finally escaped on the way back, only to reach us.
Moreover, he is the lord of Night City, and his city was taken away. He hates the Yin people so much that he will not help the trapped city.
There is no doubt in employing people. Since I have entrusted him with important tasks, you can only act in secret without leaving any gaps in your mind."
"yes……"
Seeing that the city lord was so steadfast in his vow, the young man who just spoke didn't say anything more, but instead cupped his fists and saluted.
The Mad Lion Legion was stationed five miles away from the Immortal City, and then practiced their military horses, which seemed to be in good shape.
In the big tent, Wu Xuan sat in the upper position, listening to the report of the envoy who had just returned to the military camp, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"When Xiao Yu made a good move, I told him why he asked me to let go of the Lord of Night City. It was because he let the other party sneak into the Immortal City early.
It seems that this time, the Immortal City is also within our grasp."
"Hehe, the Taoist Master is so clever. I was almost scared out of my mind when I faced so many ghost kings in the Immortal City just now.
Fortunately, the Taoist priest explained it in advance, otherwise I would be afraid that the trap would really be revealed!"
The person who spoke was the envoy who went to the Immortal City. Now that he has returned and is standing below, he still has the arrogant momentum from before!
