Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 498 Unexpected visitor
Alicia checked everything in the basement—more precisely, the underground warehouse.

There are no hidden traps here. In fact, so much property is piled up here, and so many people are arranged to guard it, there is no need for traps.

It is not clear why all these belongings are gathered here, it seems that the group of smugglers are planning to leave here.Considering that the dragonman's attack had just been repulsed, and the entire city was shuffled into chaos, it was understandable that this place was no longer suitable for smuggling.

Who was the most in need of smuggling in the past?Who are the consumers of those contraband?Fools also understand that the ultimate consumers of these actions can basically have some relationship with the aristocratic class.

But the dragonmen have wiped out the nobles in the entire city-so thoroughly, you only need to look at what used to be called the "Noble Quarter" and now can only be called the "Ruin Quarter" to know.Whether it is a family that has been passed down for a long time or a new upstart, no family can survive this catastrophe.

The dragon people cleaned up everything here, and then came to deal with the barracks.First easy and then difficult, eat beef brisket first and then walnuts. This is a completely reasonable tactical idea, and there is nothing wrong with it.

So this group of people is quite discerning, not the kind of land rich man thinking, but knowing that this place will lose the conditions for smuggling at least in the next few years, so they chose to leave.

But no matter how discerning they are, it's useless... Maybe they didn't expect the new lord to do such a thing.It's almost like a mouse trying to move, only to be caught by a hunter.

Because it's in the basement, I can't hear the movement outside.Alicia waited for a while, and saw Zhang Cheng came back again.

"How about it?"

"Only a few thieves have been dealt with by me." Zhang Cheng said. "More than that, I also found their smuggling route. In fact, they were able to enter and leave the city freely because they accidentally discovered an underground river." Zhang Cheng explained. "They use a special kind of boat to go back and forth between the city and the city, which is convenient and fast. And because the entrance and exit are far away from the city, even patrols can't find it."

"So that's how it is..." Alicia understood. "However, because they accidentally send people in and out of the city...why haven't they been exposed?"

"Because there are people in need, and they are more cautious. Besides, these smugglers themselves are not weak." Zhang Cheng said, leading Alicia all the way forward.

Ahead is the Lower City Cemetery... one of the most desolate places in the city.

There is a cemetery hut next to it, and there should have been at least one cemetery here.It is a pity that the damage caused by the previous plague to this urban area is far from over. There are not many people in the entire lower urban area, and even the cemetery has been abandoned.Of course, it is only temporarily abandoned, and this place will definitely be used again in the future.

"Look, here it is!" Zhang Cheng pointed to a nearby well.It's a big well, and there's even a circular ladder to go down.However, the circular ladder is very dilapidated, and a large piece is missing in the middle. It is more dangerous for ordinary people to go down.

It feels like it was built in a very old age.Not only that, although it is not clear at night at this time, it can also be noticed that there is only a pool of stagnant water in the well, exuding a stench of rotting animals and plants.

If you say that this place leads to a tunnel... no one really believes it.

"Here?" Alicia asked puzzled.This place is one of a kind.

"Well, it's here." Zhang Cheng said. "Originally this was an ancient well, but it became like this because the underground water source was blocked. At first, a group of people tried to repair this dead well, but the rock layer directly below was too hard to dig down. So they came up with a genius way to see if they could dig a hole on the side. As a result, they made a horizontal hole at the bottom of the well...we can't see the horizontal hole from this position, in fact Even down there it's hard to tell. But the hole is there."

"The horizontal hole was dug, but it was found that there was an underground river underneath?"

"Yeah, the water level of the underground river is relatively low, and it is impossible to supply water to the dead well. And the water flow is very fast. So it can only be used as a backup water source at best... Going down the well to fetch water, this kind of old and broken ladder is very dangerous. Everything is going to So far, but surprisingly, someone discovered that this underground underground river can actually connect with the outside world. And there is no danger in this section of the river. Because of this accidental discovery, a smuggling channel was established in this way. Usually this circular The ladder was not accessible at all, but it was deliberate. The smugglers made a wooden ladder and put a wooden ladder here to fill in the gap when needed. So it became an unobstructed staircase."

"So that's it, I understand..." Alicia said.Very clever plan.

"However, if it is destroyed directly, it is unnecessary." Zhang Cheng said. "Everyone who knew about this secret passage is dead, and now there are only two of us. Of course, if it must be destroyed, it is not impossible, just quietly fill up the entrance and exit with stones and soil. Even with a little big action, directly destroy it. The whole well can be sealed off."

Alicia nodded. "In this case, father's plan will be completed."

"It's done." Zhang Cheng said.He knew that after tonight, there would never be a relative of the previous lord in the city as an heir to claim the territory from the current Earl Lulian.Even if they want to come, they will be relatives from remote places.

As for the outcome of these relatives in remote places...

Zhang Cheng felt that he had already explained everything with examples.Obviously, our new Earl Lulian didn't understand, but he was not opened up.Now that Zhang Cheng has opened his mind, it is no surprise to deal with such problems.

Anyway, in this era of turmoil, the need for war overwhelms all other rationalities.Needless to say, the theocracy, the Supreme Father has come forward to blame Earl Lulian.Sovereignty definitely didn't want to cause extra problems - just winning this inevitable battle and repelling the dragon people's record is enough for every reasonable person to think about it.

In other words, it's all done here.

"Alesia, you go to the underground warehouse to watch, lest anyone take the opportunity, those properties will be of great value to the reconstruction of the city." Zhang Cheng said.

"Okay." Alicia turned and left.

Zhang Cheng left the lower city along the street, and when he returned to the Worm's residence, he found that there was a faint light inside.

It seems that the magician didn't leave the city either... Zhang Cheng smiled slightly, but he didn't do anything more in the end.

He easily found Captain Alexei in the city.The latter is on patrol.

Yes, he was no longer Captain of the Musketeers, but he had become a captain of another kind—had been made Captain of the Peace, as his loyalty had been approved by Lulian.At present, he is already a genuine captain with dozens of subordinates.Anyway, in this social environment, there is basically no difference between the army and the police.

Speaking of which, it all started with Alexei, and it seems more appropriate to end here now.

"Zhang Cheng?!" Captain Alexei noticed the appearance of Zhang Cheng, and the surprise on his face was not feigned.

How could Zhang Cheng be here at such a time?And this person... This person named Zhang Cheng is very mysterious.I can't figure out his origin at all, and I can't figure out his motivation.

After going through these things, no matter how stupid Alexei was, he would never think that this young man who called himself Zhang Cheng was an ordinary person.

Alicia may make mistakes, but Alexey's vision accumulated over the decades cannot make mistakes.It can even be said that he has vaguely noticed that Zhang Cheng is an extraordinary existence.

If it was the past, you wouldn't think about it at all.But it seems normal in this day and age.

In the era of turmoil, according to the ruling of the God of God, human beings are about to be involved in a war that will determine the rise and fall of the race.In the face of this life-and-death test of gods and all things, everything is possible.It is a matter of course to know that in the time of life and death, unscrupulous means are taken for granted.At this time, some inconceivable existences came to the mortal world, wearing the faces of mortals, wandering between the mortal worlds, and carrying out mysterious missions that are difficult for mortals to touch... That's what it should mean.

So now Alexei's attitude towards Zhang Cheng is completely different, rather than respect, it is better to say that he is in awe.

"Captain Alexei," Zhang Cheng said. "Alesia has discovered a group of illegal smugglers in the lower city, and seized a large amount of illegal property, and is waiting for reinforcements."

"Ah," Alexei nodded. "Okay, I'll go there right away... where are you going?"

"I have something else to do." Zhang Cheng said.

"You want..." Alexei hesitated for a moment, but asked anyway. "Leave?"

"Well, there's one last thing to attend to."

"Are we going to win?" Alexei asked.

"It's hard to say, I can only say that I have worked hard. Those who help themselves, God will help them." Zhang Cheng replied vaguely.He was already walking forward as he spoke.

The city is very quiet tonight.It didn't take long for him to come to the ruins area, or the former aristocratic area.

There were originally luxurious villas and manors everywhere, and the city lord's mansion was also here.But now the flames of war destroyed everything.The dragon people obviously have a very good understanding of the structure of human society, and they are very clear about the principle of "capture the thief before capturing the king".So they attacked the city lord's mansion immediately, and then immediately targeted other villas.

Almost all the high-end combat power in the human world is hidden here.If they are combined with ordinary soldiers, it will be more difficult to deal with, but in this case, they will be raided, forced into a building and cut off contact with the outside world, and then it will be easier to annihilate them.

There is no mercy or surrender options in race wars, these are unique to civil wars, so the final result of this battle is death.Everything was destroyed.

Then the new Lulian can take over his new territory without any burden.

But Zhang Cheng didn't come here to commemorate the war dead, or to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield.This kind of death of thousands of people is nothing to him at all.He himself has worked on a larger scale.

It's that the place is quiet now.

If it is said that there are only few people in the commercial area and few people in the lower city, then this ruined area is completely empty now.At least there was absolutely no one around.

No one knows what happens here now—and no one cares afterwards.

After all, so many corpses have been cleaned up in one day, and if a few more corpses are found tomorrow, it will be regarded as yesterday's fish that slipped through the net and will not attract anyone's attention.

Zhang Cheng stopped, and then looked back at a small forest behind him.

The aristocratic district must be beautiful, with many trees dotted in it.Almost all the buildings were burned by the draconians, but most of the trees survived.Even dragon people are not too leisurely to get along with plants.

"It's really interesting... so I think it's a bit weird." Zhang Cheng said.It's not like talking to yourself, it's talking to another person.

"There are still many secrets that I haven't noticed. I have been thinking, can Planeswalkers carefully hide their identities, avoid contact with gods, and then spend many years in a world quietly?"

"Now it seems that the answer is no. We have disguised as much as possible, and we can even say that we have not made anyone suspicious, but we still attract unnecessary eyes. Is this accidental? Or is it inevitable?"

"Come out!" Zhang Cheng suddenly turned his head and said to a tree.He reached into his bosom, and when he took it out, there was already an extra pistol.

Xiao Huihui was beside him, also looking vigilantly at the direction Zhang Cheng was facing.

But this is just a warning, not a real danger.If there is a real danger, then what comes out at this moment is not a pistol, but Yan Bi and Hu Chen.

The female elf deftly jumped down from the tree. "I thought you wouldn't find me."

Zhang Cheng really won't find out, but he has a very useful card "Dream Worm".This is the best scout he has so far.

It's been a while, but the female elf's dress is the same as before.

She has a beauty that is incompatible with the ruins, but harmonious.Bright and mysterious, like a red rose blooming in a pool of blood.Standing proudly amidst the scars, yet full of mystery.Compared with her, Alicia is completely different.It is calm, calm, and tenacious, just like a winter plum that has been tempered by the cold winter, it can cut through all obstacles without delay and bloom in full bloom.

Zhang Cheng didn't know why he suddenly thought of Alicia, but he did think of her.

There is also the little girl... that is the unique blend of youthfulness and sweetness of a girl in the blooming season, full of vitality like a newly bloomed flower.

Well, that's too far off.Zhang Cheng sorted out his thoughts and looked at the female elf in front of him.

"What do you want to do with me?"

"I have to say... I'm a little curious."

"I think I should kill you." Zhang Cheng said, a new smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to represent the emergence of some kind of desire.
