The eight-edged black iron club swept across with thunder and lightning like a beam, and several figures were flung into the air and fell heavily. The frightened soldiers screamed and rushed toward the figure in a panic from a distance.
The black-winged birdman raised his bow and shot arrows, but was blocked by the wind wall surrounding him.
Several mid-level mages hurriedly chanted spells and tried to use "Ice Storm". The "Black Tentacle" slowed down the movement of the black-winged birdman. Unexpectedly, its speed was extremely fast. It even grabbed a soldier's thigh and used it as a throw.
The weapon was thrown out, causing the mages to panic.
After the death of the Red Earl, Xuan Weizi gave Hengzhi an order to launch an attack in Chaidui Town. Hengzhi, who was disguised as a crow, was never discovered. After receiving the order, he directly designated the Red Earl.
The apprentice who was the overseer had his neck broken.
Heng Yizi is as tall as two people. He is like a terrifying demon statue that is as strong as nine oxen and as fast as an eagle. Equipped with a mind blade weapon, it has both the effect of thunder and lightning storms and is protected by wind and fire. In the town of Chai Dui
A surprise attack was carried out, and the main leaders were beaten to death in a blink of an eye. Their bones and flesh were smashed to pieces under the big stick, and even the whole body could not be saved.
The mages and soldiers who encountered the surprise attack had not yet figured out the situation. Some people hurriedly went to find the Red Earl, but they did not expect that their superiors had already left during the night.
Without a superior to give orders, and more importantly, a lack of senior mages to take charge, everyone's morale collapsed completely. The remaining mages looked at each other in shock. They did not dare to fly into the air at all, for fear of becoming Heng Yizi's target, so they could only hide in a section of stone that had just been built.
Build a wall behind it.
However, facing an enemy that can fly freely, any wall is meaningless!
"Run away quickly! We have used up the scrolls in our hands. With our few spell slots, we can't defeat this birdman at all!"
"But, doing so is tantamount to leaving one's post without permission, retreating from the battlefield, and the Red Count killing people without regard for mercy!"
"Fuck! He doesn't even know where he went. He must have taken those sycophants to find some ruins. He doesn't care whether we live or die!"
"What if we wait for him to come back? Aren't we going to have no place to stand?"
"I'm too lazy to take care of it. Let's go back to Lagen City now, pack up and run away... Look above, that thing is flying back again!!"
Heng Yizi killed several mages and warriors who resisted fiercely, and made a sharp bird call that could be heard clearly in the whole town of Chai Dui, as if it was a warning siren, making the remaining mages tremble with fear. As for the soldiers who were accompanying him,
, the mages are too lazy to care about their life and death.
Seeing Heng Yizi holding a big black iron stick, with the wind blowing all over his body, and the three-eyed bird's beak looking ferocious and ferocious, the wizards were so frightened that they used their last courage to cast various spells, trying to find a way out.
But Hengzhizi did not take action. Instead, he raised his head and looked away, fluttered his wings and flew away quickly, sparing the remaining group of timid mages.
"Quick! Now! Leave Chai Dui Town first!" Seeing this, the mages used "obscurity" and "invisibility" on themselves, and sneaked away through a gap in the wall.
However, after walking for a while and climbing over a gentle slope, I saw several people walking towards me. One of them, a strong man, threw a head straight into the arms of the mages.
"Hey, are you looking for him?" Wolf chuckled, carrying a double-edged axe, with a malicious look on his face.
Seeing the head of the Crimson Earl, these mages were so frightened that their hands and feet were weak. The Crimson Earl was a high-ranking mage who mastered the eighth-level arcana! His status in Laigen City was that of the absolute ruler who no one could disobey and resist. Moreover, he wore
High-end equipment, even ten or eight mid-level mages are not enough to see it, okay? How can you say that you will die?
At this time, Xuan Weizi stepped forward and said with a righteous expression: "The Red Count carried out tyranny and made the people under his rule miserable. Now he has been killed by the righteous Sir Salemi!" After saying this, he raised his hand.
With a finger, Sir Salemi's head began to glow faintly, like a saint walking on the ground.
Sir Salemi was stunned for a moment. Before he could figure out why Xuan Weizi blamed himself for this matter, he heard the other party's spiritual communication in his mind: "Don't you hope to overthrow evil and demonstrate justice? This is the only way.
If we do this, people will trust the church more, right?”
When Sir Salemi thought about the innocent people who were trapped under the cruel tyranny of the Red Earl, and how many people suffered under the greedy behavior of the evil magician and were unable to feel the glory of the Lord, he could not help but feel a strong sense of responsibility in his heart.
, as if only he can save the general public.
Just thinking that he did not kill the Red Earl with his own hands, and had to rely on deception to gain everyone's recognition, Sir Salemi felt an unbearable sense of guilt in his heart, which conflicted with the idea of saving everyone, making him suffer.
Very contradictory.
"Look! How humble our hero is. Even if he cuts off evil with his own hands, he is not proud at all. He is humble and follows the ancient virtues of knights. The sword at his waist has drunk the blood of the wicked. He is the holy Lord.
It has shown its brilliance on the earth! Lost people, you should repent, give up useless resistance, and devote yourself to construction and dedication to the people!"
Xuan Weizi used his psychic powers to add layers of "special effects" to Sir Salemi, including a halo above his head and wings on his back. He wished he could become a prophet on earth, a gospel for the world, and a guardian.
Angel.
The conflicting feeling in Sir Salemi's heart gradually faded away. He didn't know whether it was because of his psychic powers or because he really felt that he should guide the future for those who were lost.
On the other hand, the other two people were dumbfounded. Theus asked in a low voice: "Is Dr. Olanso crazy? Why did you blow that magic stick like this? Simply, simply...even more magic than the magic stick!"
Wolf sneered and said: "I guess this is what... what kind of 'praising'? The doctor once told me that in order to bring down a person and make him stink, it is best to lift him up and let his problems and
The flaws will be exposed more conspicuously, and more people will target him."
Theus nodded: "I understand, Dr. Olanso doesn't like this gangster either, but it's not easy to take action directly. But by doing this, isn't Doctor Olanso afraid of expanding the power of these gangsters?"
"Then I don't know." Wolf shrugged his shoulders. He never liked to think about these things.
As for the mages under the Red Earl, they have been begging for mercy for a long time. They don't care whether Sir Salemi did it or not. Anyway, the Red Earl is dead, so what ability do they have to resist? They might as well quickly beg for mercy, maybe they can find another way.
Thigh hug.
So when Sir Salemi returned to Chaihei Town, the townspeople came out to greet him and cheered as if they saw the great hero who saved themselves, leaving aside the tall and majestic Hengmasiko standing on the wall.
Outside the chapel in Chaidui Town, there were more than two hundred people standing or lying, all magicians and soldiers under the Red Earl. They were all captured or injured by Heng Mashizi, and some simply refused when they saw something bad going on.
Throw down their weapons and surrender. In short, they are piled together, waiting to be dealt with like prisoners.
Sir Salemi came to this group of people, and was about to say that he would execute all these people to completely eliminate the evil, but Xuan Weizi said first: "Your Excellency, these people listened to the wrong words of the Red Earl and lost their way.
Instead of killing them, why not continue to build the wall of Chai Dui Town as punishment?"
"That's it...okay!" Sir Salemi just nodded numbly, and then he heard a peasant woman rushing out and screaming: "Sir Salemi, you can't let that executioner go! He killed my husband and son.
!You must seek justice for us!”
"Justice! Justice!" the townspeople shouted in unison. They had been oppressed by the Red Earl before, and now they could finally take revenge.
Sir Salemi glanced at Xuan Weizi, who smiled and raised his hand. The fat, fat-faced executioner was pulled out of the crowd by "mind control throwing" and fell directly into the angry crowd.
At feet.
"No, no! I'm just following orders, I...ah-" The executioner struggled to crawl away, but was kicked hard in the crotch by the peasant woman. Then the townspeople rushed forward, and the executioner only said:
There were a few screams, but they soon died out.
Sir Salemi nodded with satisfaction. Xuan Weizi took out the forged head of the Red Count and said to the prisoners: "Your master has been killed by Sir Salemi himself. Now I recommend Sir Salemi."
Who among you is in favor of becoming the interim governor of Lagen City and who is against it?"
All the prisoners looked at each other. Most of them were just soldiers and followers of the Red Count. They just wanted to make a living and settle down in the colony. Even his apprentices didn't have much loyalty, not to mention that they even killed the Red Count.
With my little ability, I'm afraid I can't even run away.
Sir Salemi did not expect that things would be completed so easily, so he had to ask: "Isn't this inappropriate? Doctor, didn't you say before that it is difficult to rule a city?"
"Of course! But these difficulties will be completely overcome in front of the devout believers led by Your Excellency!" Xuan Weizi said passionately, making the whole Pile Town boil. The people cheered and lifted Sir Salemi high.
, everyone tried to touch his body, as if witnessing the arrival of the saint.
Xuan Weizi looked at this scene with a smile on his face and said nothing. Tius and Wolf came closer and asked: "Doctor, do you really plan to let this magician become the governor of Lagen City? Can he do a good job?
?”
"Whether he does well or not has anything to do with me?" Xuan Weizi smiled, glanced at Tius, and said, "Your opportunity has come, do you want to fight for it?"
Theus's eyes were bright and his excitement was obvious, and he asked: "What opportunity?"
"Two things. First, lead this group of people to continue building the wall of Chai Dui Town, and expand the city area twice as much." Xuan Weizi said: "Second, you can contact the Pentagram Tower now."
The first thing was not surprising to Theus, but the second thing surprised him: "Doctor, do you want me to take the initiative to contact the Tower of Pentagram? What should I say?"
"Say what you have to say. Tell you the truth about what you have seen and heard these days...if you are willing."
Construction and construction are also welcome here.”
After all, Titus has seen the world. He knows that the early construction of many colonial towns requires heavy investment at any cost. Building towns and opening roads are all light tasks. If long-term development is to be achieved, communication towers need to be built. Naturally,
It also requires a group of mages and mysterious knights to be stationed for a long time, and what follows is the consumption of various magic items...
In short, there is a lot of money to be made here, and Titus has now received Xuanweizi's permission to contact the Pentagram Tower. Then any communication in the future will probably have to go through him.
Theus couldn't help but think of those brokers and middlemen who rely on personal connections to lobby between governors, wealthy businessmen, and mages. Which ones don't go in and out of high-end clubs with jewels and are surrounded by people? They spend money lavishly and throw money around. There are even more people who are surrounded by people.
With high-level warriors and mages as consultants and bodyguards, they can even spend money to marry the daughter of a duke in the old continent, and suddenly gain aristocratic status. Even though the status of aristocrats these days is far less than it used to be, the feeling of being superior to the common people with wealth,
Who wouldn’t want to try it?
"I~I will definitely work hard~" Theus imagined a bright future. One day he would possess arcane magic and psychic powers, and be promoted to the legendary realm. He would be as stalwart as a god and accept everyone's kneeling, and he would be surrounded by arrogant youth.
The princess, the mature and sexy countess, the intellectual and gentle rich woman, the long-legged and perky female knight... Oh, and there is also the "missile queen" Mephisetis. I will conquer this queen one day!
"By the way, I'm afraid I can't restrain this group of people in my current situation." Theus rubbed his hands with heat and said, "I wonder if you, doctor..."
Xuan Weizi snapped his fingers and said: "I have lifted all your seals and returned the dimensional pocket to you. Since I have expressed my attitude, I hope you will behave accordingly."
"I know! I will try my best to live up to your expectations!" Titus felt that his fortune had turned around. The return of his spell slot made him feel as if he was once again experiencing the excitement of being promoted to a mid-level mage. He immediately said to the prisoners: "
Get up! Get up! I've left you a life. If you don't want to die, get up and work! Don't pretend to be dead!"
Xuan Weizi added: "If you can't get up, just let me treat you." Then he walked over to bandage the injured and cast healing spells.
Seeing Theus taking away the group of soldiers and mages like herding sheep, Wolf asked: "Doctor, are you planning to rebuild Pile Town?"
Xuan Weizi nodded and said: "The time and place are favorable, now we are waiting for someone."
"Who are you waiting for?"
"All kinds of people." Xuan Weizi turned to look at Wolf and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to be the mayor anymore?"
Wolf shook his head like a rattle: "The situation is getting more and more complicated now. I don't have a brain like Theus, and I'm not as popular as Salemi. It's better to stay with you, the doctor, with peace of mind."
"That's fine. Now you come with me. We're just going to meet a group of people."
