The Nine Suns of the Otherworld

In the reception room, Ye Ling met Roger, and the air messenger said indifferently: "I finally understand the real reason why Lord Ye Ling is unwilling to join me. I didn't expect Lord Ye Ling to be such a passionate person. It seems that we have not It is fate to become the manager of the same city."

Ye Ling touched his nose and said, "It's really a pity, I hope Lord Roger doesn't mind."

Roger smiled slightly and said, "Why, we are still friends. Besides, if we talk about how to cooperate so that both parties can get some benefits, Lord Ye Ling won't refuse anymore, right?"

"Cooperation?" Ye Ling's eyes lit up: "I'm very interested in this, but I'm just a small lord, how can I cooperate with Lord Roger?"

Roger stood up and walked around twice with his hands behind his back: "Lord Ye Ling, I plan to give you Manhattan, the third-level city under my jurisdiction!"

As soon as his words fell, Ye Ling's eyes widened: "What, give it to me?"

He almost wondered if he heard it wrong, but Roger repeated: "Yes, the whole city, including all the facilities in the city, except for my armed forces, will be taken over by you. If people are willing to stay, they are also your people!"

This **** is not cooperation, it is simply a selfless gift!

No, no, no, there is no such cheap thing in the world. No matter how generous Roger is, how could he give himself a third-tier city for no reason.

Among them, there must be some reason!

Thinking of this, Ye Ling suppressed the excitement in his heart, and tentatively said: "Lord Roger, we are all sensible people, so I won't talk nonsense. Is there something wrong with this city of Manhattan?"

Roger nodded and said, "That's right, this city has always been a bit troublesome!"

Sure enough, the sky will never drop pies for no reason!

The "little trouble" that Roger said was not small at all, otherwise he would not have given up on this city. It seems that he has to carefully consider this cooperation!

So Ye Ling said cautiously: "Lord Roger, can you explain in more detail?"

"The thing is like this," Roger said: "When I first occupied Manhattan, I discovered that there was a strange place in the city called the Evil of the Wind. This Evil of the Wind is not an alien force field, but always There are monsters running out of it, harassing the city of Manhattan!"

Ye Ling moved in his heart and said, "Lord Roger, the evil you mentioned should be a rift in another dimension, right?"

There are gaps in space on all planets, also known as different-dimensional cracks. If you enter the different-dimensional cracks, you will go to a world different from the main plane, the treasure of the fox demon, and the world where Vanessa is. The night devil highlands that the storm mercenary group entered during their internship are all cracks in different dimensions.

The situation of each different-dimensional crack is endless, it may be a blessed land rich in exotic treasures like the fox treasure, or it may be a disaster that people are afraid to avoid, and the evil of the wind is obviously the latter up.

Roger confessed: "That's right, it is indeed a rift in a different dimension. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cancerous tumor in Manhattan. It spits out monsters very frequently. I have to send people to guard the vicinity of the Evil Wind 24 hours a day." , as soon as a monster escapes from inside, kill it immediately! But in this way, I will waste a lot of manpower and material resources, especially now that I have a strong competitor who is eyeing my territory Next, I hope that I can concentrate my strength to fight against him, and not use it to suppress the Evil Wind!"

"So that's the case!" Ye Ling thought for a while, and then asked: "Then, Lord Roger, why don't you just give up and go directly to this city?"

Roger sighed and said, "Some things can't be given up just by giving up. Manhattan is one of the cities behind my territory. If I give up and let other people settle in, it's hard to guarantee that the new lord will have a different heart, or Bewitched by my competitors to become my enemy, let me suffer from the enemy, no matter who it is, they definitely don't want to plant such a time bomb behind their own territory, right?"

Ye Ling finally understands Roger's difficulties. The existence of the evil wind makes Manhattan a tasteless place, but it is also a hot potato. Roger is afraid of being raped by others, so he is very angry with the new owner of this city that is about to give up. There must be certain requirements.

Roger said again: "Lord Ye Ling, there are not many wise and righteous lords like you in the ancient wilderness. I believe in your character, and you also have friendship with Selena and Saiyan. Therefore, this The city, if it was given to you, would be perfect."

Ye Ling pondered for a while, and asked: "Lord Roger, before that, I need to know whether I can hold back the evil wind with the power I currently have!"

The city that annoyed Roger to give up, the monster that came out of the crack in another dimension must be very difficult, and it cannot be done by three or hundreds of people.

Roger said without even thinking about it: "Sometimes there are very few monsters that come out of the Evil Wind, and they are very weak. Maybe a few hundred elite guards can handle it. However, sometimes a large number of powerful monsters will come out, but With your manpower, Lord Ye Ling, plus those batches of magic cannons and mechs, it must be enough!"

Ye Ling hesitated a little. According to what Roger said, for the sake of safety, there must be a large number of people stationed in Yinfeng Zhie at any time. This group of armed forces cannot leave the city and be used for the redevelopment of the territory. This is a bit troublesome .

Roger continued to incite him: "Lord Ye Ling, I know this is a bit troublesome, but you can't get something for nothing, right? Besides, compared to the benefits you get from Manhattan, it's totally worth it. To put it bluntly In other words, Lord Ye Ling, if you really want to become a powerful man in the ancient wilderness, it is useless to just rely on the remote borders to make small troubles. Otherwise, you will always be just a spectator!"

Ye Ling had to admit that Roger's words were correct. There really wasn't much competition in remote areas like Ipswich. However, the environment in these areas was too poor, barren, and lacking in popularity. They would never be able to absorb too many powerful people. The former citizens joined, and now I have tried my best to make Ipsway flourish, but I have already encountered a bottleneck. There are too few idle forces nearby, and even if I continue to absorb it, it is very limited.

According to his knowledge of the history of the development of ancient and barbaric forces, there is only one person who can develop in such remote areas and eventually become a super lord, and that is the sky lord. This lord and his ancestors took over a large number of territories on the northwest border There are at least a hundred towns under his jurisdiction, but the Sky Lord is considered to be the weakest of the nine super lords, and even so, it took him and his ancestors 800 years to achieve what they are now. There is also a lot of accidental luck in it, which shows how difficult it is to become a king and dominate in a remote border.

Ye Ling doesn't have hundreds of years to spend on himself, and the turmoil in the gray forbidden zone is likely to happen in the next few years.

Therefore, when the opportunity comes, when it is time to gamble, you have to gamble.

However, before that, I have to seek other people's opinions, so Ye Ling said: "Lord Roger, this matter is not trivial, I have to think about it, in three days, within three days, I will definitely give you an answer, how about it?" ?”

Roger said without hesitation: "Okay, then I will wait for three days!"

After the meeting, Ye Ling immediately called the group of confidantes in the territory for a meeting. In the end, almost everyone supported the reception of Manhattan, because anyone who wandered in the wilderness in ancient times knew that it would be very difficult if they did not march to high-popular areas. It has become popular, but the competition for high-popular areas is fierce, and it is not so easy for you to squeeze in. It would be a pity if Roger missed this opportunity.

Not letting Roger wait too early, Ye Ling found the air messenger again in the early morning of the next day: "Lord Roger, a deal!"

Roger showed a satisfied smile, and he knew that Ye Ling's answer this time would not disappoint him: "Very well, Lord Ye Ling, if there is no accident, you will be the new owner of Manhattan in half a month!"

In the ancient wild southwest is Manhattan, a third-tier city, located near the Gold Coast, with a pleasant climate, rich products, high concentration of star power, weak monster disasters, and a good lord. People in this prosperous city, needless to say, are Very happy, they have been living a stable life.

However, in any place in the ancient wilderness, including the super territory, there are often unpredictable changes.

Manhattan has been in a state of panic for some time now.

Because in recent months, there has been a rumor spreading out of nowhere, which probably means that their lord, Air Messenger Roger, intends to abandon the city.

At first, people sniffed at it, because Roger had such a near-perfect image in their minds that no one believed he would do it.

However, the more the rumor spread, the more powerful it became, and it was well-founded. The evil wind in the city and the enemies from outside all made the impossible happen.

Finally, it was finally proven to be true!

Just over ten days ago, the lord Roger personally announced that the city of Manhattan would be separated from his territory, Empty County, and a new lord from outside would take over its ownership.

The news immediately caused an uproar, and huge turmoil occurred in the peaceful city, and people had to consider their own destination within a limited time.

Although out of helplessness, he did something that damaged his image for the first time, but Roger tried his best to make up for it. He only gave up Manhattan, not the people here. If anyone wants, they can still return to the empty county and be assigned to other cities. middle.

Many people migrated away, but most of them were rich people in the city, but many people finally made the decision to stay after hard consideration.Because if you change to a new city, you have to find a new job and face a new life. Those small businessmen have to overthrow all the foundations they have laid here, which is unacceptable to them.

Moreover, due to the departure of some competitors, a considerable market is left, which is a good opportunity.In addition, Roger has done enough work for the succession of the territory, vigorously publicized how good the new lord is, and can get his own support. He will maintain a good relationship with Kong County, and Manhattan will be stable in the future, so many civilians and The small businessman finally decided to take a chance and stayed in the city.

There are already a lot of citizens in Manhattan, nearly one-third of them left, and there are still more than 20, but it is a bit deserted compared to before, and the people who stay are all with a gambling mentality, so it is inevitable that they feel uneasy , the atmosphere of the city becomes more depressing.It was nine o'clock in the evening, the prime time of the day for leisure, and the usually bustling bars and squares seemed to be much calmer.

However, the sound of hooves entering the city broke the calm, and the sound of hooves was very loud. It spread to far away places at night, indicating that there were a lot of people entering the city.

Everyone knew what the sound of hooves meant, and everyone who heard it ran out of their homes and bars.

On Washington Avenue, the largest street running through the city, a large number of heavily armed guards appeared. They rode all kinds of beasts and moved mightily towards the center of the city. warrior.

"It's here, it's finally here!"

"Which one is the new lord, I don't know what kind of person he is!"

"According to Lord Roger, this new Lord is very good, I hope he didn't lie to us."

"..."

Needless to say, this group of outsiders came from the armed forces of Ipswich City, but the lord was undoubtedly the one who people paid the most attention to.

The Ancient Wilderness was not like the Federation Kingdom. The ruler had too much power and was not restricted by the parliament. He could cover the sky with one hand and determine the fate of a city.

Among the team entering the city, people quickly noticed a person, a young man wearing a red cloak, who was at the forefront of the team, surrounded by more than a dozen very imposing warriors who seemed to be elite forces. There are crowds in the middle, but there is also a certain distance between everyone and him, leaving ample space.

In this position of the team, with the elite lineup beside him, and that flamboyant red cape, anyone with a little common sense can confirm his identity.

"Look, is the one in the fighter uniform our new lord?"

"It looks like it should be, my God, how is he so young!"

"Yeah, at this age, how much ability can you have? It's over, why did Lord Roger invite a brat to take over Manhattan? Alas, it looks like we have to go too, there is no future in Manhattan!"

"Shh, don't say it so loudly, you think everyone is as good-tempered as Lord Roger, if you are heard by him, maybe you will be in trouble!"

"..."

The people who saw Ye Ling talked a lot, and most of them were very disappointed. Some people's determination to stay in the city has even been shaken. After this team passed by, people found that the number of them was smaller than expected, and they all sighed .

Ye Ling didn't have time to pay attention to what people think for the time being. He brought the team from a long distance, and the most urgent task was to complete the handover ceremony of the city first, so he led the team straight from Washington Avenue to the municipal office in the center of Manhattan. hall front.

Several people who looked like officials were waiting, all of them were high-level officials in Manhattan. The first one was a middle-aged man with white face and beardless. It is the current city lord of Manhattan, Pusen, and you are welcome!"

Ye Ling stretched out his hand and shook him: "Master Pusen, hello!"

When Pusen saw Ye Ling, he was also a little disappointed. He didn't believe in Ye Ling's ability, not to mention that he found that the manpower brought by the other party was relatively small. Before the handover ceremony, he couldn't help asking: "Ye Ling Lord Ling, may I ask, do you have other teams that will arrive later?"

Ye Ling shook his head and said, "No, these are all the people I brought!"

Pusen frowned immediately when he heard the words: "Well, Lord Ye Ling, maybe you don't know much about the situation in Manhattan. We have about 4000 people stationed next to the Evil Wind! I'm afraid your manpower will be less. Are you ready? Although our lord is willing to give you Manhattan, he has told you that the power you bring is enough to ensure the safety of this city, otherwise, we will not carry out the handover!"

Of course Ye Ling wants to bring more people here, but this is already the limit. Now the manpower of all his territories, including mercenaries, is barely close to [-], and Ye Ling has to keep some of them. On the Ipswell side, although the territory is remote, it can still absorb and send some talents to itself, not to mention spending so much energy on development, it would be a pity to lose it now, so he Only about half of the people were taken away.

Although there are not many left, if the forces over there know that they have a new city next to the Gold Coast, they should not dare to invade.

"I know, but, Lord Pusen, don't worry, in addition to these people, I also brought a batch of magic cannons and mechs, and the energy is quite sufficient, so it should be able to handle it."

After seeing the effects of magic cannons and mechas in Oregon, Ye Ling spent a lot of money to buy another batch of magic cannons and mechas from the Star Alliance during this time. Now this new batch has also come in handy .

Only then did Pusen feel relieved, even though Manhattan was about to leave Kong County, he still had deep feelings for the city, and he said seriously: "Lord Ye Ling, from now on, Manhattan will be handed over to you, I hope you can Treat the people here well!"

Ye Ling solemnly said: "I will!"

The two sides completed a simple handover ceremony, and Pusen said again: "Lord Ye Ling, your team has just arrived here and must be very tired. Let's have a good rest tonight. We will continue to suppress the evil wind until tomorrow." They were all evacuated in the morning, what do you think?"

"Okay, then trouble the Lord Pusen!"

There was no speech all night, and the team got a full rest.In the early morning of the next day, Ye Ling got up, and after the work was done, he sent someone to find Pu Sen, and personally led his team to take over.

I'd like to see what it's like to see this evil that made Roger's egg so painful that he had to abandon the city!
