The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 163 Head Rain

In Alley Church, the sound of tinkling iron can be heard endlessly.

Wuming sat opposite the mountain demon blacksmith, watching the blacksmith grab a huge mallet and lightly tap the iron on the petite anvil.

"What I want, do it as soon as possible." Wuming said to the mountain demon.

"Other orders have stopped, so I will make it for you." The blacksmith of the mountain demon said, "But your demand is too high, what exactly do you want?"

"Business secrets." Wuming said.

"Aren't I an employee of our caravan?"

"That's not okay, you have a big mouth and a loud voice, in case you leak your words, the whole world will hear it."

The mountain demon blacksmith was a little angry, and he exerted his strength, and with a groan, the unformed iron plate broke.

Before Wuming could speak, the mountain demon blacksmith suddenly glared at Wuming:
"It's all your fault, if you hadn't come to chat with me, would I have been distracted and made a mistake?"

Take the lead in fighting back, and won the true biography of the boss.

"How can I be blamed for this? Even if I have 90.00% of the responsibility, then the iron is not [-]% of the responsibility? This is obviously the fault of the metal, if it is properly beaten to remove impurities, it will break if it is knocked too far—hypocritical!"

The mountain demon surrendered, and the boss's shamelessness was obviously better.

Wuming got up: "Then I won't bother you anymore, this is a big order, so I have to trouble you."

"A batch has been prepared here, do you want to take it away first?" Shan Yao blacksmith asked.

"Just send someone to deliver it, I'll pick it up at another place." Wuming said, and went from the teleportation array to the west bank of the lake area.

==========
In Stonewell City, Nefeli took Hyde to inspect Stonewell's fortifications.

"Why does it feel that the city is so deserted?" Nefeli asked Hyde, "The breath of the wind is different."

"It's not peaceful in the city recently, and there are always people who can't bear it." Hyde said, "If you can't bear it, you can only run."

"That shouldn't be so few people." Nefeli said, "When you were not there, there were quite a lot of people."

Hyde said: "There is also the impact of the war. Many people should have heard of it—the coalition forces of the lords are coming to besiege Stone City."

Nefeli was suspicious: "That's not necessary, is it?"

Stonewell's geographical location is quite superior. It is located at the pass of the Nimgfo and Lienia lakes, surrounded by cliffs, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Ningmgfu in this terrain is extremely difficult to conquer, because no matter how many lord coalition forces there are, they can only encircle half of Stonewell.It is simply impossible to cut off supplies and logistics like for Fort Hyde.

Just like ten giant birds and a hundred giant birds besieging a fading person, it is useless to have a large number, because it is impossible to get in front of the fading person.

Hyde said: "You can't expect the people to be as sane as we are, and you can't expect their loyalty. Stonewell is yours, but not theirs. Life is theirs. Just as you are responsible to Stonewell, they are also responsible for it. Take responsibility for your own life."

"No." Nefeli said, "That's not right either, it's just that many residents have fled, so it won't be so deserted."

During this time, Nefeli has been building files on the residents, and she has developed a sensitivity to data.

Nefeli took Hyde to the statistics officer at the gate of the city and asked about it. Sure enough, there were other reasons.

Now almost no one enters the city, only going out but not entering, the city is so deserted.

Nefeli asked about the number of people leaving the city, and found that not all of them had escaped, and a considerable number were still in the city, but they were all hiding.

"Why are you hiding?" Nefeli was puzzled.

"I don't know." The official in charge of counting the population said, "But this kind of thing happened in Stone City before."

"Is there?" Nefeli looked at Hyde, "I don't remember such a thing happening."

Hyde didn't remember either.

The official said: "It happened during Greg's time. People would hide in remote huts or basements in order to avoid being taken by Greg for limb grafting."

Neferi was stunned: "I am treated the same as Greg?"

"I'm afraid there is something hidden." Hyde said, "I'll go and ask for you."

The answer came out soon, and a rumor began to spread among the people. People outside would no longer dare to enter Stonewell after hearing such rumors.
After the people in the city heard about it, they also began to hide in the basement and never went out again.

"Huh? I'm working with a corrupt family?" Nefeli couldn't believe it. "How could there be such rumors?"

Hyde said: "It should be the legacy of the incident last time. The news spread from the outside, and it is likely that the lord coalition forces are doing something."

"But after all the troubles last time, people shouldn't easily believe these news, right?" Nefeli wondered, "I don't understand at all."

"There are some things that I would rather believe." Hyde said, "Especially the common people who have experienced the Gregorian period, they are too afraid of a second Gregor appearing again."

"How to get them out?" Nefeli asked.

"You just have to keep being yourself," Hyde said. "It's time to see people, and over time, they'll recognize who you really are."

"Why do you trust me so much?" Nefeli asked.

"Because I know you," said Hyde, "even in the arena you are dim. You are not their friend, but a silhouette—a king's silhouette—that knows you only from one side. , I am in awe of you. Most of the tragedies at the junction stem from this, no one can empathize, we are doomed to be alone."

"So there is a need for communication," Nefeli said. "I'm going to call them out and talk to them again."

"This..." Hyde wasn't sure if it was a good idea.When there are too many people, the sound will become chaotic, and if the sound is chaotic, you can't hear anything clearly.

"You can't let people outside slander me, can you?" Nefeli said, "I want to clarify the misunderstanding and face the rumors. As for whether those people believe it or not, you have to judge for yourself."

As soon as he said it, Nefeli summoned the residents of the whole city to gather in the arena again.

There were a lot fewer people this time, and Nefeli didn't care.

Those who came heard it, and they would naturally tell those who didn't come.

Nefeli is very frank and confident.

Because she announced it in broad daylight, the effect will naturally be more powerful than those secretly circulated behind the scenes.

Although it is true that some people are more willing to believe the news in the shadows, thinking that the things on the table must be untrue, and that there are almost no things that should be made public.

But people must live in the sun after all, and it is impossible for human beings to sleep in the dark forever.

With this belief, Nefeli once again stood in the arena and publicly expressed the ugliness of the rumors.

"I'm a warrior, and I don't know too many twists and turns." Nefeli said, "I will wait for the arrival of the lords, and then there will be blood and fire to prove everything."

The combination of Nefeli's purity and her recently honed eloquence can still move the inhabitants.The blood in Neferi's bones is like a warm sun, which inspires the residents and makes people want to believe in her.

The people shouted in support of their queen, and the waves gathered in the ring arena, breaking the thick clouds in the sky.

Another piece of obscurity was revealed.

A group of crows flew around, covering the sky and blocking the sun, blocking people's sight.

"What is this?" People were surprised.

The crows flew low above the arena, and many black weapons fell from mid-air.

That's definitely not poop, because it's too big.

Soon people found out what it was that had been thrown down by the crows, and someone screamed.

Human heads, densely packed, tumbled down from mid-air like hailstones, accompanied by bloody wind.

Some of the fragile heads hit the hard ground, splashing dark red marks one by one.More heads landed in the arms of the residents, causing screams.

Nefeli's face was ugly like never before.

She knew all the faces of these heads.

It was the expedition team that had been sent to the Wulin earlier.

From a quantitative point of view, almost one is not bad.

That means the expedition team has been wiped out.

Accompanied by the rain of heads, there are also letters flying, which are still the denunciation of the lord coalition forces, accusing Nefeli of colluding with corruption, taking in Platinum, and ignoring the Golden Dynasty's decree to restart the arena.

The lords also searched out the past when Nefeli was imprisoned in Greck's kitchen, proving that she was by no means orthodox, but she pretended to be orthodox and had the audacity to do so.

"How is it possible..." Nefeli was furious, and Neferi completely ignored the content of condemning her. All her thoughts were on those heads, "How could it be possible to meet them and be wiped out..."

The lord's coalition forces are indeed strong, but it is impossible to spread them throughout Ningmgfu like dumplings.It is still difficult for them to meet the expedition team. Even if they meet the expedition team, it is impossible to encircle them in advance. How can they be completely wiped out?
Although Nefeli really wanted to send the restless elements in the city to the border, she deserved the best equipment.The best armor, the fattest and strongest horses, as well as the tireless puppet logistics, and the leader of several lost knights who have rich combat experience but don't accept her.

Such a team, Nefeli believed that they would mutiny, but did not believe that they would be wiped out.

Nefeli's contemplation also aroused the fear of the crowd, and the blood that had just surged was completely extinguished by the blood rain.

There were also many relatives and friends of the expedition team present, who cried bitterly when they saw the heads of their relatives and friends.

The storm returned to the arena, blowing away the strong smell of blood, but it couldn't blow away the haze in people's hearts.

============
The teleportation array on the west bank of the lake area is located in the middle of the long road on the left, which is in front of the ruins of the royal family.

It is the blacksmith of the Kalia royal family, the knight who served Lani, and the seat of the troll Iggy.

Now the ruins of the royal family have been repaired by Wuming into one of the commodity distribution centers, and a large amount of pig iron was sent here for Iggy to help forge.

"Yo, brother Iggy, I'm here to pick up the goods." Wuming greeted Iggy.

"It's all over there." Iggy blacksmithed with one hand, and flipped through a book no bigger than his thumb with the other.

"How is your princess?" Wuming greeted, "Still looking for her mother?"

Iggy nodded: "I feel that Lady Lani is too tense. Appropriate tension can improve efficiency, but excessive pressure can destroy people. Just like iron, ceramics and puppets. I even doubt that she is like Master Full Moon, I was hit so hard that I lost my mind."

"Abnormal?" Wuming asked, "She also picked up the egg?"

The mountain demon knight was a little worried: "Miss Lani is so angry that there are several more cracks on her body. The princess has already let the word out that no matter what the price is, as long as the other party is found, even if the other party is the king of a domain, she must cut it off with her own hands. His head, carve him that never-healing wound."

"Curses for killing? It's terrible." Wuming said, "I don't bother, I'm leaving."
