The Lord of Aixi City chose to trust Chen Feng and Luo Li, so he transferred the sentries and guards outside the city back to the Stone Statue City, and placed traps around the city. They were ready before the war and waited for the Skeleton Clan's attack.
If it were Luo Li alone, City Lord Ai Xi would not necessarily trust her.
You must know that urgently mobilizing sentries in the forest is equivalent to abandoning the defense lines and positions that have been painstakingly deployed for many years outside the city.
Once the intelligence is wrong, this move will undoubtedly push the Stone Statue City into a dangerous situation.
But Chen Feng, who was accompanying him, also acquiesced that the information about the skeleton attack was accurate. City Lord Ai Xi did not even have the slightest doubt and chose to believe him just because he was the king of the Monty Empire.
For a nobleman of this level, anything he says can become a famous saying that will be passed down through the ages. There is no need to lie at all.
The guards waited in the city for ten days but no surprise attack from the skeletons came.
"Wang Jue, is your information wrong?" City Lord Ai Xi was anxious.
These days, she has been guarding the edge of the city wall sleeplessly, with food and accommodation in front of the position, but she was in vain. Everyone complained about this, not just her, but the other guards who set up an ambush couldn't help but curse.
.
The weather is hot and dry, but they have to lie in front of the defense line at night, being bitten by mosquitoes and sometimes attacked by venomous snakes.
The weak elf had no choice in the face of a large snake several meters long. He killed and injured more than a dozen guards before he could barely drive it away.
Night is particularly dangerous for elves. They should be hiding in their lairs to avoid predators, but now they have to lie down on the grass outside the city.
This stay lasted for ten days.
"The Skeleton Tribe has indeed dug through the passages to the Snei Forest and the Stone Statue City. It is obvious that they want to carry out a sneak attack. It cannot be a decoration, but for some reason they have not attacked yet? Let's wait a little longer."
There was no movement at all outside, and Chen Feng was also a little confused.
Could it be that I made a mistake in my judgment? If I mobilized troops and mobilized people like this, it was inevitable that there would be complaints.
"Is it because I...the skeleton tribe was attacked, so their attack was delayed?" Luo Li reminded.
"It's possible. Let's wait. After all, it's a matter of life and death for the Stone Statue City. Be careful. It's still necessary after all."
"Well, just listen to the prince and wait a few more days. If the skeletons haven't attacked within five days, then General Hubert will definitely come to trouble you."
Lord Ai Xi lay down next to Chen Feng and whispered: "Before the fifteen-day period ends, please take Luo Li to escape from the Stone Statue City and go south. That is Sri Lanka, the capital of the Elf Kingdom."
At the beginning, the Lord of Ai Xi declared that the city was on alert and made an agreement with Hubert that if the skeletons attacked within fifteen days, Chen Feng and Luo Li would atone for their sins but failed to attack, then they would be executed.
"Mother, I can't leave. If I leave, Hubert will blame you and little Lorna."
Luo Li heard the whispers between Lord Ai Xi and Chen Feng, "You have taught us since we were young that we must be brave enough to accept our mistakes..."
"I am still the city lord after all. Even if I blame you, what can Hubert, a retired general, do? The worst result is to drive our mother and daughter out of the City of Stone Statues."
Half of the guards guarding the city were Hubert's cronies.
City Lord Ai Xi only hopes that the skeletons can attack earlier. The later the time goes, the worse it will be for Chen Feng and Luo Li.
But five days passed in an instant. At dawn, Hubert led the guards and surrounded the tent of the Lord of Ashe City.
"City Lord Ai Xi, the fifteen days have come and Skull has not launched a sneak attack. I arrested Chen Feng and Luo Li as agreed. But you, abusing your authority as City Lord and transferring the guards from the outer defense line back into the city without authorization, is also a felony.
.”
Hubert came to the Lord of Ash City alone and said, "Don't be dissatisfied. Although I no longer hold the rank of General of Sri Lanka, I am still a fairy and have the right to depose you, the Lord of the Flower Elf City."
"It is a matter of life and death for the Statue City. I hope you will allow me to stay here for a few more days."
"City Lord Ai Xi, don't think I don't know about the little tricks you do behind the scenes."
Hubert handed a secret letter to the Lord of Ash City and sneered: "You want to bring me down? Do you think I will kill you later? Sri Lanka is full of my cronies. Do you think your letter can spread?"
To the king or prince?"
Seeing this secret letter, Lord Ai Xi's face turned pale, and the hand holding the letter was trembling.
The letter listed Hubert's various crimes in recent years. It was originally intended to be reported to Prince Hemingway. This was a helpless move by the Lord of Ashe, risking his own death, but he never expected that the secret letter would be intercepted halfway.
The guards escorted everyone and were temporarily detained in the underground prison of Hubert's mansion.
This is a pure iron cage built according to the highest standards in Sri Lanka. It was originally used to imprison heinous elf criminals, but I didn't expect that the first guests would be the city owner's family.
Little Lorna was not spared and was dragged and thrown into a prison cell.
"Mother, what's wrong? Why do they want to arrest us?"
Little Lorna's face was full of grievances. She had gone to her best friend's house for vacation, and then she was taken away by two guards. She was tied up without any reason. The process was extremely simple and rough.
Suddenly she saw Chen Feng and Luo Li behind her, "Big brother, second sister, why are you back? Hubert is looking for you all over the city?"
"I still think the Skeleton Clan will attack the Stone Statue City!" Luo Li sighed softly.
"You're all in jail, don't think so much, just think about how to escape." Chen Feng hit the cage and found that it was made of pure iron and was very hard.
The underground prison is surrounded by rocks and sealed tightly, leaving no gaps.
"It's useless. No elf can escape from the underground prison of Hubert Mansion alive." City Lord Ashe returned to the corner and closed his eyes. He had been squatting outside the city these days without much rest.
It's just a good time to have a good sleep while being arrested.
Bang!
The sound of the iron door crashing sounded, and Aatrox arrived at the underground prison.
"Lord Ashe, how are you doing, old man?" Aatrox sneered: "My mother-in-law has a bad waist, so she removed the bed and let her sleep on the floor."
"Thanks to your concern, everything is fine with me." City Lord Ai Xi had no choice but to sit cross-legged and meditate.
"You could have promised me that you would betroth Luo Li to me, but in the end you let an overseas alien defile her body. Now the whole city knows that I have been cuckolded. How can I, a noble fairy, endure such humiliation?
Woolen cloth?"
There was a hint of chill in the corner of Aatrox's mouth, "The two clans have a marriage contract for a long time. Although it is not written in black and white, it is a verbal promise. If you break the contract first, don't blame me for being rude."
"What exactly do you want to do?" City Lord Ai Xi opened his eyes and asked.
Aatrox did not answer. After sneering, he opened little Lorna's cage.
