Chapter 424 Double Threat
After bidding farewell to Tran, the city lord of Fenglong City, Lei Xiao took the two fifth-level powerhouses Huzhang and Hongye, as well as four fourth-level powerhouses Ye Cang, Chaoyan, Nanxing, and Nanyue, plus Bai Wei, A Ling and A Bing, three third-order peak powerhouses, a total of ten people, rushed straight towards Fanyin City on the other side of the Songyin Mountain Range.
As for Xue Ya, who has been promoted to a fourth-level powerhouse, she returned to her territory in the Shadow Forest to continue refining the Qi Condensing Pill and occupying her territory.
In the endless mountains and dense forests, chasing the wind and lightning, it didn't take long before the sound of "swish, swish" was heard speeding through the sky.
Bearing the brunt of the knotweed and red night, a group of ten people crossed out from the mountains and returned to the vast plains.
"Not bad, not bad. Compared with before, the team's movement speed has increased a lot."
Lei Xiao, who was in the center of the team and was riding on the giant white wolf, nodded with satisfaction.
Before this, the group was able to shorten the carriage journey that usually took more than ten days to only about two hours.
Firstly, it's because the main subordinates under Lei Xiao's command are incredibly fast.
Secondly, under the high-speed movement, the knotweed, which has been leading the way, opens the energy barrier and forms a fairing similar to the head of the satellite, which greatly reduces the air resistance of other members when moving forward and other problems caused by high-speed movement. Influence.
In this way, coupled with the energy wake formed by the knotweed when it advances at high speed, the other slaves behind it not only reduce their own energy consumption, but also speed up the original traveling speed of the team.
After all, as a fifth-level powerhouse, the vast energy contained in Tigerweed is far greater than that of other main slaves, so that after a high-speed march, the overall energy consumption of Tigerweed is even much lower than that of other main slaves. .
Now, with the two fifth-level powerhouses Huzhang and Hongye taking the lead, the resistance during the team's march has undoubtedly been further reduced. As a result, the team's overall speed will naturally increase again.
"In short, the functions of knotweed and red night are equivalent to propellers that drive the entire team."
Lei Xiao thought this while looking into the distance.
Between the azure sky and the emerald green plains, the waving flags on Fanyin Castle had already vaguely appeared before his eyes.
Feeling the crazy wind blowing around his ears, constantly rattling his eardrums, Lei Xiao, who was moving at high speed, lowered his body and continued to observe.
Under the bright sunshine, in the increasingly clear sky over the city, several commercial airships with different coatings were slowly descending or ascending.
On the avenue outside the city gate, it was obvious that groups of carriages loaded with goods were rushing towards the city, surrounded by mercenaries.
"As expected of Fanyin City, the commercial center in the eastern region of Lengyan, it is as prosperous as ever."
Looking at the prosperous scene, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: "Fanyin City almost controls the entire eastern region of Lengyan, nearly half of the daily commodities and food supply."
< br>
"If I can bring this place into my sphere of influence and then control this lifeline, it will be of great help to the future layout."
Lei Xiao had just thought of this. Under the lead of Huzhang and Hongye, the group had already arrived at the suburbs of Fanyin City.
All I could see were large green wheat fields all around. The fragrance of mixed plants and soil kept pouring into my nostrils, and there were vibrant scenery everywhere.
"Okay, let's slow down from here."
Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates beside him, and then ordered.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that even though his group were all wearing invisibility cloaks, there was almost no risk of being discovered.
However, the energy turbulence caused by the high-speed movement can still easily sweep the surrounding travelers and soldiers into the sky. In order not to cause unnecessary commotion, this is more secure.
After all, in the eastern region of Lengyan, Fanyin City is far more important than ordinary cities such as Shuiyue City and Fenglong City. It must have a large number of informants from several princes, not to mention hiding in the dark and ready to make moves. mysterious organization.
"From what happened when I came to Fanyin City to participate in the auction, we can know that the lord of Fanyin City, Orr, and the mysterious organization have reached the point of sworn hatred. In addition, the [Eternal Night Magic Box] took advantage of the chaos at that time. 】After I got it, I also put the blame on the mysterious organization.”
Lei Xiao thought as he turned over and got off the wolf.
"The thing that Fanyin City Lord Al and I have in common is that we both have the opponent of a mysterious organization. It's just that for the mysterious organization, Fanyin City Lord is in the clear, and I, unexpectedly, suddenly made a move to seize the [Eternal Night Magic Box] 】's "unknown forces suspected of being the Leng Yan royal family" are just secretly there. ”
Lei Xiao signaled his subordinates to continue moving forward and fell into deep thought again.
"Using this, if we can bring over Fanyin City Lord Orr, it will undoubtedly be a powerful and strategic new force for the territory, just like what I just thought."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao suddenly felt excited. Surrounded by his subordinates, he walked forward quickly while frowning slightly.
"But how to successfully win over Orr, I still need to wait for the opportunity and make detailed plans. After all, the other party is the lord of the big city who is in charge of an army of nearly ten thousand people. In terms of overall strength, he is no less than a A fifth-level powerhouse.”
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao's brows began to frown even more.
Another key point that cannot be ignored is the mysterious and unpredictable organization.
Although he has never had direct contact with Fanyin City since the last time he said goodbye, during this period, he has heard more than once, including Qin Qian from the Songyin Mountains, and the old mining area of Gelin City. Su Ru and other lords have mentioned it.
It is said that they are a group of men in black robes wearing white Gothic masks. They often massacre the gathering points of lords from other worlds. The methods are extremely cruel and happen almost everywhere, so much so that multiple alarms appeared in the chat channel. Channel, specializing in research and information aggregation in this area.
"I have asked Qin Qian and others to pay close attention to the information about the mysterious organization. If there is any progress, I will get the news as soon as possible."
"In addition, there are often reports in the chat channel that city lords in certain areas have taken the initiative to lead troops to eliminate nearby alien lords."
"It is not difficult to see from this that at least the lords whose territories are within the human race will suffer from dual threats from the mysterious organizations and surrounding indigenous forces in addition to Warcraft. To a certain extent, it is just like me now. The situation is exactly the same.”
Just when Lei Xiao frowned and thought of this, surrounded by his subordinates, he had already entered the gate of Fanyin City with a speed and skill that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Walking on the bustling streets, sniffing at a cotton candy stall on the roadside, Lei Xiao continued to think about the sweet smell coming from it.
"In short, the truth only exists within the range of the cannon, and dignity only exists on the edge of the sword. For me, who is also a lord from another world, the current top priority is still to accumulate strength."
"After all, in addition to the nearly a thousand subordinates and two surrendered tribes under my direct control, I also have a large number of cities under my command. Once a full-scale war breaks out, what I will shoulder is not just the population on the territory interface. It’s easy.”
Lei Xiao thought as he quickly shuttled through the crowd.
Not long after, we arrived at the most prosperous prime location in the south of Fanyin City, the gate of the Phytolacca Trade Fair.
On the simple wooden plaque, five large golden characters "Phytolacca Trade Fair" shined in the bright sunshine. The golden stag coat of arms next to it was also lifelike and looked very majestic.
Because at this time Lei Xiao had already taken off his invisibility cloak and was only wearing an ordinary hood, covering most of his face. Kelly, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw this and quickly came over with a look of joy on his face. , bowed and said: "See you, Lord!"
In order to deceive others, although Kelly's words were almost negligible in the noisy surroundings, her respectful salute and the cute expression on her pretty face like a kitten still aroused attention among the surrounding crowd. There was quite a stir.
Whether it was the two teams of trade fair guards standing neatly at the door, or the passers-by at the foot of the steps, they couldn't help but look sideways, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
You know, Miss Kelly, the daughter of the president of the Fanyin City Trade Fair, is a famous evil girl in Fanyin City... No, Little Pepper.
Even if Mr. Al, the Lord of Fanyin City, came here in person, he would not be treated like this.
From this we can see, where does this seemingly ordinary young man come from? It’s simply unbelievable!
"Okay, let's talk after we go in."
Noticing that he had unknowingly become the focus of the audience again, Lei Xiao curled his lips and nodded towards Kelly who was full of joy.
They went straight to the Phytolacca Trade Fair in Fanyin City. Under Kelly's guidance, Lei Xiao and his party of ten came to a large and elegantly decorated reception room.
On the mahogany coffee table in the reception room, all kinds of exquisite refreshments and snacks had already been placed, which immediately attracted the attention of the three foodies.
"Lord, please take a seat."
When Lei Xiao sat down, Kelly bowed again and bowed to report: "My father has already gone to the City Lord's Mansion in Fanyin City to make final arrangements and discussions with City Lord Orr before exploring the ruins."< br>
After a pause, Kelly added: "After the lord left, the angry Lord Orr searched the city for three days and three nights, but in the end he still found nothing. Now he is a little worried."
"It is understandable that the main purpose of holding the auction was to attract the mysterious organization to come and avenge the family members. In the end, not only did the members of the mysterious organization escape, their work was in vain, but I also took away the money by fishing in troubled waters. [Eternal Night Magic Box], it can be regarded as losing the wife and losing the army.”
Taking the fragrant tea from the maid A Bing, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Then, Lei Xiao picked up the white porcelain cup, took a sip of the steaming tea, and then said: "By the way, after the death of the direct vice-president and his son, was there any movement in the Shangluc family?"
"Back to Lord, just as you arranged, my subordinate and my father attributed their deaths to the mysterious organization, and it did not arouse the family's suspicion."
Kelly smiled at Lei Xiao, and frowned slightly: "However, these two guys who betrayed the family, not only joined the mysterious organization, but also led the wolf into the house, ended up with a good reputation, they are really cheap. ”
"Those are not important. What is important is that the current Phytolacca Fair in Fanyin City has been completely controlled by your branch of the Phytolacca family, and it has not aroused the suspicion of the family."
< br>
Lei Xiao put down the tea cup, smiled lightly and said: "As long as we consolidate our power, it will undoubtedly further assist my plan to support Lin in becoming the head of the family."
"What the lord said is absolutely true. In the past few days, my subordinates and my father have been secretly eliminating the remaining forces of those two people."
Kelly shook her fist, looking like a dragon roaring.
"Well done."
Lei Xiao's eyes wandered and he looked at Kelly's purple outfit.
It can be clearly seen from her increasingly powerful aura.
With the blessing of the Rose Gathering Pill, this girl has now reached the level of a third-level seven-star veteran.
Kelly, who was a little overwhelmed by Lei Xiao, quickly cheered up and reported again: "By the way, Lord, two hours ago, Captain Tina of the Blue Rose Knights and the Broken Blade Knight... Captain Ryan of the regiment has arrived here one after another, and his subordinates have arranged them in other rooms.”
I saw another look of reverence on Kelly's face: "When these two people came, they both looked excited, and kept chanting the lord's pseudonym in their mouths, which can make the two masters The leader of the independent knights with a large number of troops can do such a thing, only the lord can do it! The lord is really extraordinary!"
"Kelly, I can't refute what you said."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then showed a pensive expression again.
In addition to trying to win over Orr, the lord of Fanyin City, during this trip to the ruins, another important goal is naturally to deepen the relationship with the two independent knight captains, and then recruit them under his command.
"At that time, from the tone of the old auctioneer and Fanyin City Lord Orr, we could tell that the unknown hidden ruins seemed quite mysterious. I wonder what race left them behind? What does it look like inside? No precious treasures?”
"The most important thing is, is there any connection between this unknown ruins and the [Eternal Night Magic Box]? After all, I don't even know the race of the [Eternal Night Magic Box]."
Thinking of this in his mind, the expectant look on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious.
While looking forward to it, Lei Xiao stood up, nodded to Kelly and said, "Okay, let's go to the rooms of the two knight captains and say hello to them." (End of Chapter)
