Chapter 495 The crowd is raging
They shouted, partly to attract Xu Lai's attention, but partly because they were worried that Roland and the others would be stimulated before and charge with another horse stampede without saying a word.
No one has come to clean up the corpses trampled by war horses on the grass so far.
Roland quickly ordered that all the paladins formed a row outside to block the incoming crowd.
"Mr. Xu, do you still recognize me? We met in Stone Castle!"
"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, palace jade liquor..."
Okay, there are still people who have the right password, but Xu Lai may not know where these people come from.
When Xu Lai was in Stone Castle, he saw the most heroes descending.
But it was only half a year, but Xu Lai felt that it happened in the last century.
Looking at the faces in the crowd again, it is obvious that the memory has become very powerful due to the improvement of intelligence. He can even recall many things from his childhood.
But seeing these people, Xu Lai didn't feel anything at all, as if they had never appeared in front of him.
"Lang Jun, I can't tell, but you are quite popular."
Leina took away her troops, and Yu Lan asked her to take the mage troops back with her. She hugged her lover, whom she had not seen for a long time, and refused to let go.
Xu Lai patted Yu Lan's straight buttocks gently and said with a smile: "If you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
Ignore them, let's go back. ! ”
This group of people coming up did give Xu Lai some ideas, but at least Xu Lai didn't like any of the people in front of him.
With the paladin blocking him, Xu Lai was not worried at all.
Holding Yu Lan onto his horse, Shi Shiran prepared to return to the city under the envious eyes of everyone.
Seeing Xu Lai about to leave, Roland frowned, drew his long sword with his backhand and struck it on the shield.
The sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong sound instantly overwhelmed the noise on the scene, and the rest of the Paladins and Holy Light Knights also drew their swords together.
"Anyone who takes another step forward will be killed without mercy!"
After that, the first person turned over and rode up to follow.
Behind Roland, the Holy Light Knights and Paladins also mounted their horses and followed closely, taking the captured assassins with them.
After being so frightened by the Paladins, this group of people really didn't dare to move.
The blood on the grass has not dried yet, and there may be fragments of a corpse hidden under their feet. No matter how much courage they have, they would not dare to actually collide with the swords of the Paladins.
These are all 7th and 8th level paladins. Xu Lai took off his luxurious equipment. Even with the specialization, he didn't dare to say he could beat them.
After the military parade was completed, the morale of Qingfeng City surged.
Especially when the golden prayer light is triggered to fall, all the residents of Qingfeng City are enveloped by the power of prayer.
The caravans, mercenaries, and refugees who have not yet been accepted by Qingfeng City all look at the residents of Qingfeng City with envy.
Actually, this is the first time that the Angel Alliance's prayers have been prayed to these residents, but when Xu Lai first formed the Angel Alliance, many people here felt inexplicably inspired.
The previous one was just the morale effect of the Angel Alliance. Qingfeng City has always been populated by elves from the barrier and mages from the tower.
Because of the Angel Alliance, the negative impact of multiple camps has been eliminated by the Angel Alliance.
However, this time, what enveloped them was the purest Holy Light spell.
The prayer will last for 2 hours, even after the military parade is over, there will still be nearly an hour.
After Xu Lai and his paladins were far away, someone finally stretched out comfortably and said excitedly:
"It's so comfortable. It is said that the spells of those priests are very effective and fast.
Today's spell should be much more powerful than those of those priests. I think I have been using it for many years. "Lao Han's legs have been cured."
Someone next to him immediately retorted: "You are a newcomer. There are only a few priests in the place where you used to be.
There are only a few priests who focus all their attention on the nobles. How can they have time to take care of us commoners?
Our Qingfeng City is different. There are many and kind-hearted priests.
They will be on the street almost every day, treating us civilians for free. It is said that the treatment costs are subsidized by the city lord. "
The older man just now said immediately: "Really? "
The person who retorted earlier slapped his chest and said: "Can it still be false?
Don’t the priests of the temple always say that casting spells consumes a lot of money? When we go to the fields to swing two hoes, we still have to consume a bowl of rice. How can a life-saving spell cost so little?
This is the only time you have met such a good city lord as us. When several brothers from our village came here, the city lord gave us houses and land.
Fuck, I haven't been able to save a piece of fertile land for several generations. Even the ancestral house where we worked hard all our lives was smashed by that old bastard Aini. "
"Shen Yan, do you want to bring trouble to the Lord of the City? "
A companion immediately reminded him.
However, the man said indifferently: "Don't you know that you are the city lord?
Who in the entire grassland doesn’t know that it was our city lords, the paladins of the United Temple, who drove away the orcs. It can be said that the Lord of the City is kind to our entire grassland. Who among us grassland people will assassinate the Lord of the City?
In my opinion, apart from Aini and his gang of thugs who would touch our city lord, there would be no one else who would want to touch our city lord. "
The person who spoke first also nodded and said: "That's right. I heard that Qingfeng City only collects 30% of the tax, so I defected here.
Except for a few people from our village, there were many people from next door and even the town who came with me.
Count Aini sent knights to intercept us, but unfortunately there were too few of them. Even the 7 or 8-year-old children in our village could ride horses, so he couldn't stop us at all. ”
"Brother, you are considered to be fast runners. We are the real newcomers here.
Those nobles have gone crazy. They also know that they have few people and cannot possibly accommodate everyone.
In order to prevent the refugees from escaping, they not only kill people on the way to pursue them, but it is said that as long as they find someone leaving the territory without permission, all the relatives of that person will be beheaded. ”
< br>The first people to come to Qingfeng City roared:
“Are these guys crazy? What do you mean by refugees? They have no land and no houses. If they don’t wander, do they have to wait to die?”< br>
The person who spoke just now shook his head and said: "How can those nobles who are above us care about our life and death.
I ran this way, and in every village I saw, there was not a group of people hanging at the entrance of any village. A dead person.
I am alone, and I will starve to death even if I am not caught.
Only our city lord is so generous, not yet. After confirming your identity, I will give you food to fill your stomach first.”
This man’s words were like a silencing spell, instantly calming down the heated discussion around him.
After a while, someone said: "Damn old Aini, if he really succeeds, all of us will probably starve to death."
Immediately someone said: "That's absolutely right. , how could there be so many things when we first came?
It is said that the old guy Aini sent countless spies here and passed a lot of confidential information back, and he has harmed our city lord several times. "
The man who was still waiting for review slapped his thigh and said: "That old bastard, you just don't want to give people a chance to survive.
I heard that being a soldier can give priority to review. They are also allocated better houses and rent more land than ordinary people. Are any of my brothers willing to sign up with me? ”
The military parade has just ended. Not to mention young people, even some middle-aged people in their 30s and 40s are a little excited to see it.
Hearing this, someone immediately responded: "I'll go with you, my archery and riding skills are both good.
I heard that our city lord doesn't need us to pay anything. The price is not even for the military industry. As long as you pass the assessment, you will be paid for employment."
"Yes, you should join the army and kill that bitch Aini. My whole family was forced by him. Dead!”
“That’s right, I know a few of the assassins just now. I saw them when I was at Conaston Castle. They were all attendants in Aini Castle.
< br>
The one who wants to kill our city lord is definitely that old guy Aini. "
"I heard that Count Ani is also colluding with the orcs! "
"Have you heard? I've heard it too, and it sounds like it has both nose and eyes. "
" Damn it, how many lives of our prairie people have been on the hands of the orcs? That old bastard Aini is still colluding with the orcs. Doesn't he even want his ancestors? ? "
The more he talked, the more angry the crowd became, and someone took the lead. They immediately responded. Many people who had no idea at first followed the crowd and rushed to the recruitment office.
Looking at the huge flow of people, several advent heroes gritted their teeth, stamped their feet, and simply followed.
Looking at Xu Lai's attitude, he must look down on those of them who use the back door.
But if they go up through formal channels and rely on the natural advantages of heroes, they can still get leadership positions.
In addition, not to mention coming from the same place, at least coming from the same ball, there are more opportunities than others.
Xu Lai did not know everything that happened outside the city, nor did he know what he had done. The residents of Qingfeng City spread word of mouth to the point of complete distortion.
Even if he knew, it was unlikely that he would care about such a trivial matter.
Now he just wants the sky to get dark quickly. Yu Lan, a little fairy, kept twisting her butt on the horse during the few steps back to the city, which made Xu Lai very angry. .
But the more he wanted it to get dark soon, the sky kept getting gloomy and never got dark.
Moreover, even if it gets dark, he has no chance to steal jade and incense.
Although the appointment just now is refreshing, not all of the leaders who have just taken office know each other or are familiar with each other.
For a while, after arranging his soldiers, they all swarmed to Xu Lai's base camp.
Xu Lai had no choice but to hold a banquet for these guys and introduce them to each other.
However, in addition to themselves, Xu Lai also invited someone else to this dinner.
