Steel Chang'an

Chapter 94

Xiao Yuan unfolded the napkin with a gloomy face.A servant girl in a gray uniform set up a small stove and a stew pot in front of him.The stew had already been heated, the stove just kept it warm.After a day of chilly sea breezes on the sea defense wall, the steaming hot dishes look especially tempting.Xiao Yuan moved his frozen fingers, and the moment he picked up the tableware, he saw his face reflected on the brass stove.It was almost the appearance of a middle-aged man.He looked tired, with prominent red spots on the sides of his cheeks, the result of exposure to the sun.Soon I'll be as black as those sea folk.He cursed in his heart, scooped up a spoonful of stew and put it in his mouth.

It's been a rather difficult day.There are tens of thousands of sea people stranded in front of the coastal defense wall, and a notorious knight order passed by the border of the territory he guarded.All soldiers are in high tension.In recent days, most of the knights from the Xiao family's territory were transferred to Tianshou City, and almost all the knights from the Seven Great Masters of Donglin gathered there, preparing for entering the Yin Ruins.There are currently only thirty [-]-ton battle armors in this city. If the notorious knights plan to attack the city, it will be a fierce battle.But fortunately, the knights only stayed near the coastal defense wall for a while, and then took a detour to the East China Sea.Xiao Yuan guessed that they were going for the Crimson Devil's claws.Those claws were of too little value to the nobles, and it was not worth the risk to take the risk, which made these bandits cheaper.They were originally a group of desperadoes, and many of them had rewards from various nobles on their heads.

Fortunately, this difficult day is coming to an end.Xiao Yuan stared at the flame in the brass stove, but he still felt restless in his heart.From time to time, he thought of the armor that rushed into the sea wrapped in white light like a meteor, as if the dazzling light still remained on his retina.He believed that his soldiers, like him, could never get that light out of their minds again.The thought made him rather uncomfortable.Especially when he saw the group of sea people shouting the title of Knight of Light and worshiping the sea surface where the light disappeared, he sensed a hint of danger.He asked the soldiers to fire two cannons below the coastal defense wall, leaving behind hundreds of corpses, and the overly excited crowd stopped the ridiculous behavior that was close to superstition.Among the notorious knights, a reckless black ninja attempted to climb over the coastal defense wall, but in the end it was forced to retreat due to the power of the power grid and artillery fire.

He didn't believe that it was the incarnation of the light knight, it was just some kind of beam particle weapon, he thought to himself, even though he had never seen any kind of beam particle weapon that could split the sea and make the sea water pour back, it was only a knight in the legendary era It can only be done, but perhaps Teng Jiaxing can develop such a weapon.Wasn't that notorious Knights also bought by King Teng?The group of desperadoes rushed to the East China Sea suddenly, there must be some kind of connection with that armor, what he was worried about was...

His aide-de-camp hurried into the dining room to give him an instant report.Xiao Yuan frowned, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I'm just repeating the words of the head of the Knights of the Rose, sir," this usually clever young man has angered Xiao Yuan several times today, but he didn't seem to realize it, "They rescued Xiao Yuan in the red tide." Haitou, he discovered the whereabouts of the Skeleton Knights of the King's Legion on the bottom of the sea. According to them, this legion will land within ten days."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Yuan reprimanded.Thousands of years have passed since the demise of the Immortal King, but there are still various legends about the King's Legion in this continent. There are always people who claim to have seen traces of the Legion's activities. Mysterious Legion.Xiao Yuan always believed that it was just a deception.Only people like Haimin and the bandits think that this kind of lie can scare people.But what is the purpose of this group of people?Is there something worth plotting for them here?
"They hope to discuss with you face to face the joint fight against the Skull Knights," said his attendant.

"Those bandits want to join forces with the nobles? Have they forgotten the reward on their heads?" Xiao Yuan sneered, but he suddenly realized something, "Where are they now?"

"They are waiting for you at the bottom of the coastal defense wall facing the East China Sea," said the attendant.

"Have those sea people dispersed?"

"Most people still seem to be stuck behind the wall."

There must be a ghost in it.Xiao Yuan thought to himself.They hope to go to the coastal defense wall by themselves. This is probably a tactic to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Their real goal should be this city...

"Have you counted how many battle armors there are under the coastal defense wall?" He asked the attendant.

"Station 67." His attendant replied immediately.This is one of the reasons why he was optimistic about this young man at the beginning. He is very smart and knows which details should be grasped.

"How many battle armors pass by the coastal defense wall during the day?" He continued to ask.

"A total of..." The young man opened his mouth, "Sorry, I didn't count, I was distracted at the time." He finally said honestly, "But I think the number is closer to 65 or so."

Xiao Yuan knew why his attendants were distracted. He was also distracted at the time, and he didn't have the heart to count the number of battle armors. "At any time, you should keep your responsibilities in mind," he said to the young man, "every detail may be related to the survival of this city."

The young man bowed to his training in shame.Xiao Yuan frowned. Almost all the armor of the Knights of the Roses gathered under the coastal defense wall, which meant that they did not intend to play tricks. He thought that these bandits wanted to lure him away from the mountain and lure him to the coastal defense wall to attack the city gate.Did they really find traces of the Skull Knights at the bottom of the sea?
No, once he thought in this direction, he fell into the trap of those bandits.Xiao Yuan immediately warned himself not to take it lightly. He thought, no matter what, the Knights of the Roses hovering around the territory is a huge threat. They must have plans, not to mention there are hundreds of thousands of Haimin who may riot at any time. And now there are only [-] battle armors left in this city, and the number of guards on the coastal defense wall is quite limited...

If he wanted to defend the city before the city lord came back, he had to act first to eliminate all hidden dangers that might threaten the city.

At least, weaken them quantitatively first.

"Let all the battle armor guard the city gate," he said to the young attendant, "and transfer the two dragon and tiger cannons to the coastal defense wall."

The Dragon Tiger Cannon is a large high-speed particle cannon. It was built by imitating the naval guns of the seven starships from the human home planet. One shot is enough to destroy a [-]-ton battle armor.A piece of amethyst energy block can make a dragon and tiger cannon fire twenty shots in a row. When the bandits were caught off guard, two dragon and tiger cannons fired from the top of the coastal defense wall at the same time, and they could kill most of the Rose Knights.The coastal defense wall is suppressed by electric grids and artillery, and they cannot climb over the wall. As long as the bandit leader is killed first, with the strength of the mob who call themselves knights, even if they react, they will not be able to organize an effective counterattack.

The [-]-ton battle armor under this [-]-meter-high coastal defense wall is absolutely weak.

If there is no accident, he can wipe out this group of bandits directly on the coastal defense wall.

As long as he can delay enough time, transport the two dragon and tiger cannons to the Shanghai Defense Wall.

"There are still a lot of sea people stranded there." The young attendant said cautiously. He was indeed very clever, and he immediately guessed Xiao Yuan's intention for him to mobilize the Dragon and Tiger Cannon. "With the power and radiation range of the Dragon and Tiger Cannon, Even if it is launched with precise positioning, I am afraid that many innocent sea people will be injured by mistake."

"They colluded with gangsters, and they deserved to die." Xiao Yuan said lightly, "What's more, I have given them a chance to evacuate, and their lingering so far just proves that they have long wanted to riot. Don't you even think about this? Can't you see it?"

He glanced at the young man with an embarrassing face, "You heard my order, go and deliver the order."

After eating the last mouthful of stew, he carefully wiped his mouth with a napkin, picked his teeth for a while, and adjusted his knight's cloak in front of the brass stove before standing up and walking outside.

The wind was piercingly cold outside, and the last rays of the setting sun shone dimly on the coastal defense wall.

Mu Yun manipulated the armor West Wind to pass through the crowd.The sea folk carefully made way for them.When he approached the coastal defense wall, he saw rows of corpses of sea people placed under the wall, some corpses were covered in charred black, others were mutilated, and there were still wet bloodstains flowing on the ground.

There are over 300...or more corpses.The crowd blocked his view, and he couldn't see the situation further away.These people did not die in the tsunami, were not bitten to death by the red demon, but died in front of this coastal defense wall.Mu Yun raised his head and looked at the blood-stained coastal defense wall.There was a faint blue electric light on the gray wall, which was about the height of the five battle armors West Wind. From his angle, he couldn't see the people above the coastal defense wall at all.But he could see the instant holographic image, the figure in the knight's cloak suspended in mid-air, almost as tall as half the wall, looking down on them from above.

"This person is Xiao Yuan," Fei Ye said bitterly, "He is the one who ordered the artillery to be fired on Haimin."

A surge of anger welled up in Mu Yun's heart. "Calm down," he heard Zheng Quan's voice through the headset, "We're here to negotiate, Master Zhang and his brothers alone can't deal with the Skull Knights."

They manipulated the armor and walked forward.Lao Zhang's Vajra battle armor is in the middle, and Mu Yun and Zheng Quan's battle armor stand on both sides.The members of the Order of the Rose stood behind them.After a long period of red tape to announce their names and identities, Xiao Yuan finally expressed his willingness to hear their intentions.

"This old man found the Skeleton Knights of the King's Legion on the bottom of the sea, less than ten days away from here." Lao Zhang pointed to the Haitou standing beside Gran and said, "The Skull Knights are so powerful, You, Mr. Xiao, should have heard that when they come ashore, the entire East China Sea will become a battlefield and be flattened. Originally, the East China Sea was not the territory of the Knights of the Rose, and I, Zhang, don’t like to meddle in other things. But I have already received Haimin’s money and entrusted by Haimin. If I want to keep them safe, then I have no choice but to ask you, Mr. Xiao, to send a message to your Patriarch, so that I can think about it. Thinking about what to say...

"Let's put it this way! As long as the Xiao family is willing to send knights to fight against the Skull Knights together, and you, Mr. Xiao, agree to let these sea people pass through the coastal defense wall and temporarily take refuge in the city, then I will pinch my nose to persuade my brothers to treat you. Don't blame those who have committed crimes and killed them. Master Xiao thinks what I said is appropriate?

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I have so many brothers. I just got some red devil's claws after traveling all the way, but it's not enough for my brothers to go back and forth. I can’t squeeze out even one extra gold pound. If Mr. Xiao thinks what I just said is inappropriate, there’s no need to say it. My brothers can only go to your city to get some good things to restore blood.

"I'm a rough man, I'm impatient, I can't wait, let's not talk to the Patriarch of the Xiao family, Mr. Xiao, give me an accurate word first, do you want these 60 Haimin to enter the city, or do you want my brothers?" These more than [-] battle armors entered the city?"

Listening to Lao Zhang's loud voice talking non-stop, Mu Yun's heart also collapsed: Is this called negotiation?This is clearly a blatant threat, right?Now he began to doubt again: Could this old Zhang really be some kind of noble lord knight in the past?Could it be that I thought too much before?This mouth is full of gangster air, no matter how you look at it, you are a true bandit leader.

Moreover, his words sounded too bluff, can the ruthless and ruthless defense officer of the Xiao family accept his set?

"Master Zhang's acting skills are a bit exaggerated," Zheng Quan's voice came from the headset, "It's just that we didn't really come to negotiate with this Master Xiao, it's fine if we can trick the other party into showing up on the coastal defense wall." .”

"Why do I think that Master Xiao appreciates my acting skills?" I only heard Lao Zhang switch back to the private channel in his busy schedule, and replied, "Can you confirm that this guy is above us?"

"That's right, it's him himself, at three o'clock above your heads," said a rose knight in Yanshi armor manipulating a reconnaissance plane. "They seem to be installing some large weapons."

"It's no wonder Mr. Xiao appreciates Mr. Zhang's acting skills so much. It turns out that he is also delaying time," Zheng Quan said with a smile, "It seems that it is time to give him a surprise, are you ready?" Yun said.

Mu Yun took a deep breath, "Do it!"

On the coastal defense wall, while checking the installation progress of the Dragon and Tiger Cannon, Xiao Yuan signaled the soldiers to speed up with his gaze, and said casually, "You said that the Skeleton Knights will go ashore within ten days, what evidence do you have?"

The dragon and tiger cannons are too large, and the channel width of the coastal defense wall is limited, so they were dismantled and transported up.Xiao Yuan's attendant is really clever. It only took a quarter of an hour to transfer the two cannons from the city gate. Xiao Yuan calculated in his heart that there are about 5 minutes before the dragon and tiger cannons can be installed. .

And the only variable he was worried about was that the incarnation of the knight of light that Haimin had said did not appear.

According to Xiao Yuan's thinking, the battle armor and weapons used by this person should be the latest models made by Teng Jiaxing in order to exert such amazing power, so his armor model must be different and can be recognized at a glance.However, the more than 60 battle armors below the coastal defense wall are all common models. The two battle armors standing on the left and right sides of the King Kong armor are even more tattered. No matter how rich Xiao Yuan's imagination was, he would never have imagined that the glorious sword that split the sea would be such a broken thing.

From this point of view, the "Incarnation of the Knight of Light" might have fallen.Xiao Yuan thought to himself.After all, after that sword strike, no one saw that ray of light emerge from the sea again.

In this way, after 5 minutes, there is no suspense to wipe out these bandits!

While listening to the bandit leader's bluff, a sneer involuntarily formed on the corner of his mouth.

Just let you be arrogant for another 5 minutes!
But suddenly there was a strange noise from under the coastal defense wall!

Xiao Yuan poked his head out quickly, and saw that the bandit leader's King Kong battle armor was on both sides, and the left and right battle armors were swept up at the same time!

Xiao Yuan was startled, but he calmed down quickly. He told himself that with the height of this coastal defense wall, there is absolutely no armor that can jump up. There is a power grid on the wall, and the armor has nowhere to use it, let alone——

He shouted loudly: "The moat cannon fires!"

Although the Dragon Tiger Cannon has not been installed, the cannon on the coastal defense wall has been fully charged, and has long been eyeing the battle armor below!
But at the same time, there was a loud shout from the Vajra armor: "Puppet machine!"

The shells fired from the top of the coastal defense wall had just entered the air, and before they could draw an arc, they exploded in mid-air, as if hitting a transparent barrier, just like setting off fireworks!
Dare to feel that all the Yanshi battle armors in the Rose Knights have released all their puppet machines from the beginning, turned on the stealth mode, and have already clustered on top of these battle armors. Under the dim sunset, the coastal defense wall No one found out on the Internet!
At this moment, the puppet aircraft group rises at the same time to meet the artillery shells actively. It does not require a high level of operation. With such a dense aircraft group, the artillery shells are naturally blasted one at a time, and no one is wasted!
"We must find a way to get back the money for repurchasing these puppet machines today!" Lao Zhang muttered in the King Kong armor.Although these puppet machines had already run out of ammunition when dealing with the red tide, and had already lost their combat effectiveness, but so many puppet machines were lost at once, and it would cost a lot of money to buy them again. The zippers are not enough at all. When Lao Zhang gave the order, he was heroic, and he couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw the fireworks all over the sky!

The sky filled with fireworks concealed the figures of the two jumping armors, but with Xiao Yuan's strength, he could still see through the gap between the flames that the height of the two armors in mid-air had already surpassed the coastal defense wall Half of the height, close to 75 meters!

Even if the auxiliary wings or propellers are equipped on the back, this is already the limit height for a [-]-ton armor!
Seeing the figures of the two battle armors starting to fall, Xiao Yuan couldn't help letting go of the bad breath he was holding back just now, but suddenly his pupils shrank——

Because he found that the falling parabolas of the two armors were actually converging!

This is impossible!Although Xiao Yuan had already guessed what the two armors wanted to do, he still couldn’t believe it—the two armors of different models took off from different positions at the same time, and wanted to make their own coordinates overlap in mid-air, regardless of the take-off What kind of fine micromanipulation and hand speed are needed to achieve the explosive power of the body required in an instant!
The coastal defense wall is covered by a power grid, and the armor wants to climb up to the top of the [-]-meter-high wall, but it cannot borrow strength from the wall. The only way is to use another armor as a landing point in the air, borrowing Let's go!

But how can this kind of operation be done by just two armors!

What kind of people are in these two armors to have such confidence in their own operations!
Is it—

Although the flames were dazzling in the air, at this height, Xiao Yuan finally saw clearly the painting on the battle armor that was standing on the left side of the Vajra battle armor, which was so tattered that the cockpit door fell off——

Gale Armor!In Spring Hunting, only one battle armor broke through the defense system of Tengjia Bailing Pot's Gale Battle Armor!

The entire Donglin is talking about it, and it is said that the Gale Armor is operated by the fast sword Zheng Quan who is hiding in the Donglin!
And the zero-type armor that stood on the right side of the Vajra armor... Xiao Yuan finally remembered that when Li Jing fought in the Spring Hunt, he used a modified zero-type armor!
Could it be that the person in this Type Zero armor is actually Li Jing!

Xiao Yuan felt that he was about to collapse: If Zheng Quan and Li Jing were among the two battle armors, then this kind of operation could indeed be done, but who would have imagined that the famous Jinwu Guard Zuo Commander in Chang'an City used to be the second uncle of yours? , the number one knight in Megatron, would shamelessly ruin his battle armor, mix with a group of rookies in the Knights of the Rose, and pretend to be a younger brother beside the boss! !

Why are there such shameless people in this world!

I saw that the two armors did not live up to Xiao Yuan's fright at all. When they descended to a height of nearly 50 meters, the two coordinates smoothly overlapped in the air. The armor landed smoothly on the back of the Gale Armor, and the feet exerted force again——

In mid-air, Mu Yun also felt quite unbelievable in his heart.When he was formulating this plan, Lao Zhang and Zheng Quan reminded him that this is a plan with zero fault tolerance rate: the number of puppet machines is only enough to cover them for one take-off, which means that if they fail to take off this time, the No chance for them to do it again—

"This kind of cooperation, if it is two armors that have never been run-in beforehand, the success rate of execution is very low," Zheng Quan told him at the time, "If you are replaced by Li Jing, I am naturally sure of a success. , but if it is you, even if we agree on the coordinates in advance, the probability of success will not exceed [-]%!"

"It will succeed!" I don't know why, but Mu Yun has such confidence. Li Jing specially gave him special training on fixed-point coordinates in the air. He knows that for him, the difficulty of this jump does not lie in the two armors. At the same time, how to reach the coordinate point, but how to control your posture and landing point in midair, and at the same time complete the manual manipulation required for the next leap in a very short time.This series of fine micro-management needs to collect data and accumulate experience through repeated practice and error correction, and this kind of fine micro-management that requires a lot of accumulated experience is Mu Yun's biggest shortcoming.Among the seven moves of the sword taught by Li Jing, the seventh move contains a lot of fine manipulations of this kind, and it is also the move Mu Yun has mastered the worst.

But he had a faint feeling - this time, he would definitely be able to do it.The power in his body, although he still can't really control that power, it will always be exerted at critical moments, strengthening his body, but also strengthening his brain, enhancing his skills, It allows him to do things that he can't do normally, as if there is another hand controlling his sword, and another body operating in the armor Xifeng.

If there is a soul in this world, he will believe that it is Mu Chuan's soul guarding him in the dark.

But he knew that it was only the power brought to him by the tinder.

The kind of thing that Li Jing and the wolf master called the master's power.

He twisted his body in mid-air and pulled down the joystick at the same time, adjusting the direction and torque calmly, as if the time at that moment was stretched to countless moments, and he did not feel any discomfort caused by the feedback of manual operation It was as if he and the armor Zephyr had become one, as light as a bird in the wind, they landed accurately on the back of Gale, the foot thrusters were activated, pushed to the maximum, and the joystick moved forward two steps, Adjust the direction and torque again, and everything works with ease.He rushed to the sky again, and the countless puppet machines and the flame wreckage of the shell explosion above his head were like frozen fireworks. He passed through the flowers, and the wall shining with blue light passed in front of him. He saw When the last ray of the setting sun shines on the sea, hundreds of millions of golden ripples appear in the sea.

Then he landed, the battle armor Xifeng stood firmly on the top of the coastal defense wall, the last rays of the setting sun shone on the fuselage, the surprised soldiers backed away in front of this battle armor, he saw Xiao Yuan Standing in front of him, his face was ashen.

Zheng Quan fell back to the ground, and landed on the shoulder of the Vajra Armor precisely with a body receiving operation, which scared Lao Zhang to the side, and the Vajra Armor scratched his huge head, "Why can't I see Come out, don't you have a good face as a scholar, and you are willing to be a stepping stone for that kid this time?"

"Zheng has always been a low-key person. Since it is the plan that kid came up with, Zheng won't steal the limelight." Zheng Quan pushed his glasses and said with a smile, "Besides, that kid underestimates noble knights too much. If it wasn't for him to witness the actions of nobles with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't believe that his plan would not work."

"Hey..." Lao Zhang sighed, and scratched his head vigorously again, "You said that I went crazy with you, and burned so many puppet machines all at once, what is the plan?"

"Although I'm more curious about what your real plan is than Mu Yun, a kid who can see through it at a glance?" Zheng Quan still smiled, "But you insist on asking me what is the plan for going crazy with this kid... Maybe it is Instead of Li Jing, let him teach him a lesson. That guy's level of master is a little too low. He didn't teach his apprentices the knowledge of the world at all. He just taught him riding skills. Do you expect him to be able to be independent in the future? Yet?"

"Well, hearing what you say is so benevolent, I, Lao Zhang, can't help but wonder what your real purpose is when you follow us all the way?" Lao Zhang touched his chin, "It is said that you killed someone in Chang'an City There are quite a few people, and—”

A burst of exclamation came from among the Haimin, interrupting his words.

The King Kong armor raised his head and looked at the top of the coastal defense wall.

Gale Armor stood aside, and raised his head together, looking at the other side of the wall.

On the top of the coastal defense wall, the battle armor Xifeng stretched out a hand, and pinched a knight's cloak with two mechanical fingers. A struggling figure hung under the knight's cloak, it was Xiao Yuan.

"Turn off those two machines, and take out the energy block and give it to me," Mu Yun said, pointing to the two dragon and tiger cannons, and then he shook Xiao Yuan, who was hanging from the wall, "or I Just throw him down."

"Don't worry about me, keep loading the cannon!" Xiao Yuan yelled sharply, and the soldiers were dumbstruck, standing in place, at a loss for what to do in the face of the sudden change.The attendant quickly stepped forward, unloaded two boxes containing energy blocks from behind the fort, and threw them to Mu Yun without saying a word.

"Amethyst..." Mu Yun manipulated Xifeng, threw the two boxes with one hand, and stuffed them into the gnar box on the waist of the armor, "Then I will accept it bluntly."

"Do you know what you did!" Xiao Yuan struggled in mid-air, glaring at the attendant who was usually favored by him, "These two cannons can be fired in 5 minutes, you should do The most important thing is to let the soldiers rush up to withstand the firepower of this armor, and buy time to finish loading the cannons. As long as the two cannons can be fired, they can destroy the Knights of the Rose below. Can't do it!"

The young aide-de-camp paled.Mu Yun shook her head, "It seems that he is not as ruthless as you, at least he still cares about your life and the lives of these soldiers."

"Stupid thing!" Xiao Yuan scolded fiercely, "Compared with these things, you should care more about your duty!"

Xiao Yuan struggled and cursed in mid-air, but Mu Yun ignored him, "The Skeleton Knights are indeed involved," he said to the young attendant, "I want to talk to the head of the Xiao family."

This is the real negotiation in his plan.

He waited for a long time for the other end to connect to the communication, but what appeared on the screen was the figure of a young girl in a gauze dress, from the white crystal on her forehead, it could be seen that she was a servant. "The head of the family has a noble status, and civilians are not qualified to talk directly with him. I will convey the message on his behalf." She clasped her hands on her waist and said.

"I represent Haimin and the Knights of the Rose," Mu Yun said, and he transmitted the image taken by Haitou, "We have captured the highest defense officer of the Xiao family's territory, and now Crown City is under our control. But we have no malicious intentions, as long as the Xiao family is willing to let the sea people pass through the coastal defense wall, take refuge in the city temporarily, and send armor to fight against the Skull Knights with us, we will return this city."

The girl leaves to deliver the message.Mu Yun waited.Ever since he had seen the performance of those knights in Tengwang Pavilion, he knew that those noble lords would never send troops unless they encountered something related to their own interests.Although the territory of the Xiao family is remote, its area is not small, and there are quite a few people of the Xiao family on the territory. In order to keep this territory, the head of the Xiao family should be willing to send troops.Mu Yun thought to himself.According to the laws of this continent, noble lords are obliged to protect their subjects.

What's more, the threat of the Skull Knights is real.

He waited for a long time, and the girl finally came back. "Patriarch's words," she clasped her hands on her waist, and said in a melodious manner, "The Skeleton Knights said it was purely a lie to confuse the public. Xiao Yuan's defense is not good, and death is not a pity. They must be punished, and the rest of them, if they surrender to the bandit army and allow the Haimin to enter the city, they will all be treated as traitors, and they will be killed."

Mu Yun could hardly believe his ears, he wondered if he had heard it wrong: the Patriarch was threatening him in reverse, if he dared to take the city, the Patriarch would dare to directly declare his subjects as traitors , Massacre the city with them?Is it possible to do this too?
He looked at the soldiers and found that no one took the Patriarch's words as a joke, and Mu Yun felt a chill.

There was a dead silence on the coastal wall.The faces of those soldiers were ashen, and panic and despair appeared in their eyes.Like Mu Yun, they also heard the fatal message conveyed by the servant girl in her soft voice.The young attendant lowered his head and clenched his fists.

"You should understand what you have done by now." Xiao Yuan sighed. At first Mu Yun thought he was talking to himself, but after a while he realized that he was talking to the young attendant, "You You thought you could save my life by destroying those two cannons, save the sacrifice of soldiers, and save the lives of those sea people. Now you should understand that your cheap sympathy can't save anyone, you will not only kill Kill those sea people, and you will kill all the people here."

"I understand, I'm too naive..." The attendant said tremblingly, as if he had been slapped severely, "But what should I do..."

"Kneel down." Xiao Yuan said.Mu Yun knew that he should stop the cold and tough defense officer from continuing, but he couldn't open his mouth. Although those words were addressed to the young defense officer, they were like a slap on his face: It never occurred to him that what he thought was a perfect plan would result in such a result...

The young attendant knelt down, he seemed to realize something, his body was constantly shaking from excitement. "Listen," Xiao Yuan said, "it's not too late, the Xiao family's coastal defense wall is invincible, even the Skeleton Knights can't easily cross this wall, let alone the mob of the Rose Knights There are still [-] battle armors in the city, and you still have hope to defend the city."

"Everyone listen to the order!" He shouted sharply. Although he looked very embarrassed when he was suspended in mid-air, and even a little funny compared with his majestic expression, every soldier on the coastal defense wall stood upright and straightened his body. Chest, "Defending this city is your only chance to survive, your family's only chance to survive, and everyone in this city's only chance to survive! You have no way out, and anyone who dares to surrender will be shot! If Your companion wants to surrender, kill him, and you will be rewarded! If your superior wants to surrender, kill him, and replace him! Let everyone in this city know that surrender is a dead end, and the only way to die is to fight— —Only by fighting to the death can we win a chance!"

"My last order is for you," he said to the young squire, "if you have figured it out, stand up, become a knight, and succeed me as the city's defense officer."

The young attendant stood up, although his face was pale, but his expression was firm, Xiao Yuan nodded to him with satisfaction, "Very well, keep your responsibilities in mind, from now on, every order of yours will determine the status of this city. You are not qualified to make mistakes anymore. You are a kind young man, but only a hard-hearted person can guard what he wants to protect."

Then he looked up at the battle armor that grabbed him, and a sneering sneer appeared on his face, "I thought you were Li Jing, but it seems that I was wrong, the first knight will not be like you So naive, thinking that if you catch me, you are qualified to negotiate with the Patriarch of the Xiao family," he said, "but even if you are him, I have already said that you will never surrender against a battle armor alone. You can't do anything in the city."

"If what you said about the Skull Knights is true, you, those bandits, and those untouchables have no choice but to die. If you want to drag this city to be buried with you, just try it!"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand with difficulty to adjust the uniform on his body, and then unbuttoned the shoulder buckle of the knight's cloak.

"I'll wait for you in hell."

He fell from the top of the coastal defense wall, like a pebble falling from the sky, and fell silently to the ground. Only the vicious curse remained in the wind and passed into Mu Yun's ears.

Mu Yun glanced at the knight cloak held in the hand of the battle armor Xifeng, and an unprecedented sense of frustration rose in his heart: he already had the power, he defeated the tsunami, stopped the red tide, and he successfully designed the The highest defense officer of the city led him to the coastal defense wall and captured him. He once thought that he was sure of victory and everything was under control.

The Patriarch of the Xiao family... This person didn't even show his face, and with just one order, everything he did was disintegrated.

He looked at the soldiers. They were forming formations, preparing to charge against the armored West Wind under the leadership of the original attendant.Mu Yun looked at the weapons in their hands, calculated their number and positions, and thought that even if West Wind had limited remaining energy, he could kill them all without any effort.

For a moment, the anger of failure burned in his chest, and he really wanted to pull out the Bright Sword. He happened to have two amethysts in his hand, and he could even destroy the wall.He thought of the hundreds of corpses under the wall, even though Xiao Yuan gave the order, but these soldiers still carried out the order, they were all murderers, and they all deserved to die.

In his battle armor, he glared at the soldiers who rushed forward, their faces were full of tragic death, they knew that they would die, but if they could hold the city, their families might survive.

Those people are innocent.

Those soldiers wanted to hold the wall, just like the sea people wanted to pass the wall, they all wanted to survive.

Xiao Yuan was right.Mu Yun suddenly woke up, all he was doing now was dragging the city to be buried with him.

"You're going to kill everyone here."

Mu Yun pulled the joystick, and the armor Xifeng jumped over the heads of the charging soldiers and jumped down from the coastal defense wall.

"You should know by now that nobles will not negotiate with civilians."

This was the first sentence Zheng Quan said to him after he stepped out of the battle armor.

Mu Yun frowned, he suddenly felt tired, "You already knew that my plan would not work?"

"Obviously you don't trust Zheng," Zheng Quan said with a smile, "If I tell you that this plan won't work, you probably won't believe me either, not to mention that there are so many sea people who regard you as a knight of light." No matter what you do, they will absolutely support you, so what's the use of someone Zheng being against you?"

Mu Yun shook his head.He was too lazy to refute that he was not the incarnation of the Knight of Light, and even Gran was convinced of this now.He had a vague feeling that even if his power came from the same fire as the Knight of Light, the coincidence between him and the prophecy was too coincidental, as if an invisible person had arranged everything in secret.But he can't think about it now. "I don't understand," he said to Zheng Quan, "Why did the head of the Xiao family ignore the threat of the Skull Knights? He should have seen the video I sent over, but he would rather send troops to attack his own city later than fight with the Skull Knights now." We join forces to deal with the Skull Knights, what is wrong with this man?"

"There are many problems with noble lords, and suspicion is one of them." Zheng Quan said, "Just a single video can make a noble lord believe that the skeleton knights who have been sleeping on the seabed for so many years since the Millennium War have suddenly come out. For this reason, it was very difficult to mobilize a large number of knights to rush to the small town of Donghai. What's more, at the juncture of the opening of the Yin Ruins, the Patriarch of the Xiao family has more reasons to suspect that this is a conspiracy by other lords to weaken the strength of the Xiao family. The strength of other competitors is also behind the scenes."

"Having said that," Zheng Quan lowered his voice, "Even we ourselves cannot be 100% sure whether the Skull Knights really exist. After all, we only saw the video brought back by Haitou, and did not witness it with our own eyes." The whereabouts of the Skull Knights, and the image is easy to fake."

Mu Yun glanced at Zheng Quan, thinking that you are also seriously ill, right?If someone hadn't spotted Haitouman's barracuda submarine in the red tide at that time, and Xiao Yezi pulled the submarine back in time, the old man would have died.If the purpose of the Haitou people is to let them see such a forged video and deceive them into believing the news of the Skull Knights dispatch, then this is really a performance at the cost of their lives, and the success rate of this deception is too low. .

"Of course, this is just one of the reasons for Zheng's guess," Zheng Quan continued, "Even if the head of the Xiao family really believes that the Skull Knights will land in the East China Sea within ten days, before the other lords of Donglin decide to send troops, He would just sit back and do nothing. After all, the Xiao family's territory is not the only one near the East China Sea. If he really wants to fight against the Skull Knights, it's not just the Xiao's business. Didn't the Xiao family become a victim?"

Mu Yun thought that this was one of the situations he expected, so he wanted to threaten the Patriarch of the Xiao Family by seizing the city, but he did not expect that the Patriarch of the Xiao Family would rather lose a city than meet the Skeleton Knights. There must be a deeper reason...

"As for the real reason why the Patriarch of the Xiao family doesn't want to fight against the Skull Knights, in Zheng's opinion..." Zheng Quan pushed his glasses, and was about to make a fool of himself, but was interrupted by a loud voice from behind.

"It's very simple," I saw Lao Zhang walking out of his Vajra armor, "If my old Zhang guess is right, the reason why the Patriarch of the Xiao family didn't want to meet the Skeleton Knights is because this king's army probably has an owner. .”

what!Mu Yun was taken aback for a moment, but he immediately realized: Lao Zhang is right!The sleeping king's legion will not wake up for no reason. They have lost their immortal king and have been sleeping on the bottom of the sea for so long. If someone hadn't tried to wake them up...

He couldn't help but think of the conversation between Li Jing and the wolf lord that he overheard in the hangar. Li Jing's real purpose in coming to Donglin was to find the whereabouts of the King's Seal. According to them, the King's Seal could bring them a An army against the apostles, the King's Seal...the King's Legion... Could it be that the army they want is the King's Legion?
If someone summoned the Skeleton Knights through the King's Seal... Mu Yun couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that Li Jing has found the King's Seal?The Skull Knights are already in his grasp?Mu Yun clenched his fists: recalling the memory of the destruction of the White Horse City once again aroused the flame of revenge in his heart, but he knew that even if he had obtained the power from the fire, he would not be able to use it until he really mastered the method of using that power. , he probably won't be Li Jing's opponent, not to mention that his other target for revenge is the wolf lord of the Northwest Canglang. ...

He looked at Zheng Quan involuntarily, but he shook his head slowly.Mu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.He believed in Zheng Quan's judgment. He had been dormant in Donglin for so long and still hadn't found the whereabouts of the King's Seal. If Li Jing could grasp the clues so quickly, he wouldn't have to take the risk of training a team to enter the Yin Ruins.

But, then who is using the King's Seal?
"Duke Teng Wen." I only heard Lao Zhang say, "It has been rumored that he ascended to the throne of the Lord of the Eastern Forest with the help of a mysterious army. Now it seems that this army is the king's army."

No, not Teng Wengong.Mu Yun thought to himself, he remembered what Li Jing said to the Wolf Lord in the hangar, if Teng Wengong was an apostle like him, he would not be able to use the King's Seal.Mu Yun didn't know what the reason was. In fact, he still didn't know what the king's seal was.

"If someone really awakened the Skull Knights on purpose, it would be a very dangerous thing." Just listen to Zheng Quan said, "Except for the Immortal King, there is no one or anything that can command the actions of the King's Legion. This is why in the Millennium War, human knights wanted to destroy the Immortal King at all costs."

"Even if someone can use a certain method—for example, something that can send out a special signal—to summon the Skull Knights, it can only guide the Skull Knights to the source of the signal, and cannot control their other behaviors .”

Although Zheng Quan said it very cryptically, Mu Yun could still guess that the thing that "can send out a special signal" should refer to the seal of the king.Thinking of the iron spiders he encountered in the castle of death, he couldn't help but feel a chill: "When the king's army loses command and control, it will attack the living body indiscriminately. That is to say, before they reach the signal source, any obstacles Every town in their path will be destroyed!"

What does this person who awakened the Skull Knights want to do!Mu Yun cursed fiercely in his heart, what he didn't expect was that what Li Jing wanted would be such an uncontrollable army——

An army that will bring endless slaughter to this continent!

Is this what you want?Li Jing!Mu Yun clenched his fists fiercely, "No matter who awakened the Skull Knights, if we can produce enough evidence to warn those noble lords—to warn the Lord of Donglin, the Skull Knights will give Donglin a warning." What kind of disaster does Lin bring, can they continue to sit idly by?"

Zheng Quan didn't speak.Lao Zhang sighed, "Boy, do you still remember Fei Leng Cui?"

Mu Yun nodded, not knowing why Lao Zhang mentioned this place at this time.The first time he fought Lao Zhang was in Fei Leng Cui.This moldy abandoned city is like a green pustule growing on the gorgeous and bright Yongjiang River. He has never seen such an ugly city. He named it after one of the most beautiful cities that have ever existed on the human home planet. Almost like a vicious joke.

"That was a mistake I made when I was young," Lao Zhang said.Mu Yun glanced at him suspiciously. He had never thought about how old Zhang was. His bearded face made him look very vicissitudes. Thinking about it carefully, he should not be older than Li Jing, but listening to This tone... "So how old are you?" Mu Yun couldn't help asking.

"Well, that was a mistake I made when I first established the Knights of the Rose." Lao Zhang corrected, "At that time, Fei Leng Cui still deserved its name, and it was a very beautiful town. White houses, There are green trees, and there are fountains in the square made of whole pieces of marble with emerald patterns. There are large factories and small workshops in the city. There are complicated waterways underground, which can lead to the East China Sea. It is a good place to sell stolen goods. Back then, I, Lao Zhang, brought a few brothers under his command and made a few big deals. I pretended to be a nobleman from the countryside, bought a house in the city, hired several factories, and bought several warehouses. At that time, almost Half the people in the city are working for me. I also hired orphans in the city to run errands for me, intending to pick a few of them who have potential and cultivate them. Who would have thought that the leader of the orphan gang was the daughter of the mayor? I didn't know that big girl, and later became a guest of the city magistrate..."

Is it really okay to talk about your love history at this time?Mu Yun always felt that Lao Zhang had a gentle expression on his face when he mentioned the eldest sister, and if he continued to talk about it, he should be called the mayor's father-in-law, right?But when he thought of Fei Lengcui's final ending, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"According to what Zheng heard, you planned a rebellion in the city and hijacked the mayor and his daughter," Zheng Quan pushed his glasses. "Before the knights who suppressed the rebellion arrived, you ordered your subordinates to set fire to the city. City, took advantage of the chaos and fled, but the fire you set off detonated the factory, causing poisonous gas to leak, leaving countless casualties in the city, and Fei Leng Cui became an abandoned city.”

"I did that to keep the people in that city." Lao Zhang said, "At that time, my brothers and I robbed the warehouses of several nobles in a row, and the goods we got were sold in large and small factories and factories in the city. The workshop has been reprocessed several times, erased the source, shipped it out of the underground waterway, and then shipped it back from the Yongjiang River, pretending to be the goods I shipped from my own territory. The money after the sale was used to purchase armor and weapons, and it was stored in my In the few warehouses in the city where I bought. Most people in the city only know that they work for me. Only a few people know what I do. I spend a lot of money in the city. Even the mayor Being bribed by me, even though he was somewhat suspicious of my noble status, but for the sake of money, he didn't ask any more questions.

"It's a pity that the matter was exposed later. I lost a big deal, lost two good brothers, and even myself was injured. When I returned to the city, I was followed by someone. I knew I had It was exposed. As soon as the pursuers arrived and found the armored weapons in the warehouse, I was afraid that everyone in the city would be implicated. Therefore, I deliberately hijacked the mayor and his daughter, blew up the warehouse overnight, and then retreated from the underground waterway .I have already arranged in the city, and I have left manpower around those warehouses. After the warehouse burns out, someone will come to put out the fire immediately. The fire will never spread in the city, and no one will be burned. die.

"I walked in the underground waterway for three full days before I came out. At that time, I got the news that the lord sent troops to search the city, but he couldn't find my people, and he couldn't rush into the burning warehouse. He couldn't find this He quickly withdrew from the city as evidence of the rebellion and treason of the people in the city. But before he evacuated, he secretly ordered to kill the guys I stayed in the city to control the fire, cut off the water source in the city, and locked the fire again. The city gate is dead. People in the city can't put out the fire, and they can't get out of the city. Only a few people who know the entrance of the underground waterway escaped. Until I rushed back, the fire was still burning..."

"So that's how it is," Zheng Quan said thoughtfully, "The lord's method is very clever. When the Rose Knights just rose in Donglin, they were known as the rebel army. Many civilians either secretly joined or secretly Supporting the Knights of the Rose, many people were quickly recruited, and there were even many rumors that you were preparing to launch a large-scale revolutionary rebellion, but after the massacre of the city, the reputation of the Knights of the Rose was completely stink, For the sake of the bandits in people's mouths, even the people who escaped from that city at that time only knew that you set the fire. The lord only lost a small city, but completely extinguished the Knights of the Rose The signs of growing up in Donglin will save him a lot of trouble in the future."

Mu Yun felt chills all over his body when he heard, "What happened to the mayor and his daughter?" He blurted out and saw the expression on Lao Zhang's face before realizing that he had asked a question that shouldn't be asked.

"They were publicly executed on the charge of betraying the lord and surrendering to the bandit army." Zheng Quan told him, "This effectively warned the officials in Donglin who guarded the city for the lord, whether they were voluntary or forced, once Getting involved with the Knights of the Rose will only lead to death."

So Xiao Yuan would rather jump off the coastal defense wall.Mu Yun thought to himself.He knew that even if he surrendered, he would only die.

"The lord you mentioned," Mu Yun asked, "Who is he?"

Zheng Quan looked at him like an idiot, "Fei Leng Cui is the territory of the Teng family."

So that lord is the current master of Donglin?Mu Yun scratched his head, it didn't make sense, he thought to himself, regardless of whether Teng Wengong is an apostle or not, the Skeleton Knights have been sleeping on the seabed before that, and the barnacles on the skeleton warriors in that video are enough to prove that they have recently It hasn't been dispatched for several years.He didn't know why Lao Zhang believed that the person who summoned the Skeleton Knights was Teng Wengong, just because of the rumors that Teng Wengong ascended the throne of the Lord of the Eastern Forest...

But one thing is for sure, Mu Yun thought, if the person who summoned the Skeleton Knights was Teng Wengong himself, then it would be impossible for the noble lords of Donglin to send troops to meet this legion...

"I'm not sure if the person who summoned the Skeleton Knights was Teng Wengong," said Old Zhang, "but I, Old Zhang, can probably guess where this knights are going."

Yongjiang City!
Hearing these three words from Lao Zhang's mouth, not only Mu Yun was taken aback, but even Zheng Quan's expression changed.It was only then that Mu Yun remembered that Zheng Quan had said that the third battlefield in the Donglin Millennium War was in Yongjiang City, and there was a high possibility that the King's Seal was actually located there.

"My brothers found some interesting things on the way to the East China Sea by taking the trail." Lao Zhang said.In order to avoid alarming the noble lords, the Knights of the Roses deliberately divided into several groups to travel at night, taking the wild roads that bypassed the noble territories. This kind of road is quite inconvenient for the armor, and some places are even too narrow. It took a lot of effort to pass. Except for the "bandits" like the Knights of the Rose who are inconvenient to see, the noble knights who are upright will never take a walk on this kind of road.

But on such a narrow wild road, the Knights of the Rose also met people on a narrow road.Fortunately, the wild road was dark and there was no lighting at all, and the team was led by a few experienced veteran members such as Wei Laolin, so they were able to detect the other party's whereabouts in advance, turned on the stealth mode, and forcibly entered the road on both sides of the wild road ahead of time. They lay in ambush in the woods, only to find out that the ones who came were actually Teng Jiabing's special Teng Jia soldiers!

There were still a lot of Tengjia soldiers. The brothers of the Knights of the Rose waited in the bushes for a long time before they all passed. Looking at the direction, it happened to run in the opposite direction from them, heading for Yongjiang City.

As soon as Lao Wei, Lao Zhu and other six leading brothers met, they discovered that they all encountered Teng Jiabing on the road. Fortunately, these leaders were quite clever and did not reveal their whereabouts.They reversed the starting direction of the six teams of Tengjia soldiers, which was the location of the six branches of Tengjia Bank originally distributed in Donglin. Most of the Teng Jia soldiers in the big branch were secretly transferred to Yongjiang City!

what does this mean?This means that Teng Jiaxing's six branches in Donglin are now guarding the emptiness, which is a good time to rob!These brothers of Lao Zhang are all professional bandits, and immediately reported this important discovery to Lao Zhang.But Lao Zhang wanted a little more than they thought. As soon as he got the news, he realized that King Teng secretly mobilized Teng Jiabing. Brother is at war!

Mu Yun did not expect that even Li Jing, who is as shrewd as Li Jing, would be taken advantage of by the little Prince Teng: this young prince who seems to be able to cast armor is apparently under all kinds of pressure from Teng Wengong, and he does not hesitate to offend the Northwest Wolf. In exchange for a chance for Li Jing to make a move, enter the Yinxu to fight Teng Wengong, and Teng Wengong is naturally well aware of the purpose of his own brother who is so desperately trying to pull a team into the Yinxu, and the arrangement for him must be the same. It will be in the Yin Ruins, just as Li Jing predicted before, the Yin Ruins will definitely be an extremely dangerous trap.

Who would have thought that when the Yin Ruins were about to open, King Teng had secretly mobilized a large number of Tengjia soldiers to gather in the Yongjiang area!When Teng Wengong brought the Tianshou Knights and the rest of the qualified Donglin Seven Families into the Yin Ruins, the most elite knights in the entire East Forest were concentrated in the Yin Ruins, plus the seven masters who did not enter the Yin Ruins Xiao Teng Wang Mingming has already won over the Li family, and he doesn't know which ones he has bought in private. Even if the Teng Jiabing has limited combat power, he will cooperate with the knights of those big families to capture Teng Wengong's lair. In the main cities of several families, it is at least [-]% to [-]% certain that King Teng will be promoted to the position of Lord of Donglin.

"It's just that Little King Teng's actions are not as sneaky as he thinks," Lao Zhang said, "Since the Knights of the Roses happened to find out that he was mobilizing Teng Jiabing, Duke Wen of Teng must have noticed it too. After a while, it can be found that the time when King Teng started to mobilize Teng Jiabing was almost the same time as the time when the Haitou people discovered the Skull Knights. This shows that even if the one who awakened the Skull Knights was not Teng Wengong himself, he would still be separated from him. It doesn't matter!"

Mu Yun almost immediately thought of the beautiful long-legged female military adviser beside Teng Wengong. Could it be that the seal of the king has been controlled by the force behind her?Mu Yun frowned, "Now you should understand," he heard Zheng Quan say, "If the purpose of summoning the Skeleton Knights is to deal with the Tengjia soldiers of King Teng, then even if you summon the Skeleton Knights at the Chinese banquet If the ironclad evidence of the regiment's dispatch is thrown in front of Teng Wengong, I'm afraid it will be dismissed as nonsense, and no noble lord will dare to send troops to meet this legion."

"Isn't this too insane?" Mu Yun still couldn't believe it, "From Donghai to Yongjiang City, this is almost half the range of Donglin. As the master of Donglin, Teng Wengong planned to let an uncontrollable The legion has trampled over half of Donglin, just to deal with your own brother?"

"Boy, don't be so naive," Lao Zhang patted him on the shoulder, "This lord is willing to burn down a city of his own in order to discredit Lao Zhang's Knights of the Rose, in order to keep his Lord of the East Forest In order not to affect his plan to revive Donglin, let alone let the Skull Knights run over half of Donglin, even if he cut off his own brother's head, he probably wouldn't frown."

Regarding Lao Zhang's last sentence, Mu Yun had no doubts at all.It's just that he was a little bit guilty in his heart: the two apostles he knew, one is the master of Donglin, and the other is the young master of Eagle Castle. These two seem to be ruthless and ambitious guys. This kind of fire is really not picky. ...

"So, from the very beginning, you never wanted to join forces with the noble knights to fight against the Skull Knights?" Mu Yun suddenly realized that since Lao Zhang had already analyzed the reason why the Skull Knights were awakened, then Naturally, he also knew that it was impossible for the noble lord to send knights, and his plan could not be successful from the beginning?
"That's right, my old Zhang understands the nature of nobles too well, so I never thought of joining forces with the noble knights from head to toe!"

Lao Zhang hammered his chest and said firmly.Seeing Lao Zhang's tough answer, Mu Yun was speechless immediately, thinking that you two had expected my plan to fail long ago, but you didn't even have a warning in advance, so you just watched me in the tens of thousands I've suffered a lot in front of people, don't I want to lose face?

But Zheng Quan said with a smile: "Sure enough, what Zheng expected is not bad, what is Master Zhang's real plan, can you always tell now?"

"Not yet." Lao Zhang said to Zheng Quan with a serious face, then turned his head and gave Mu Yun a wink, and said, "My Lao Zhang hates scholars the most, this smiling guy has been following him all the time, rushing to catch up Don't go, it's really annoying, I punched him unconscious, don't you mind?"

Before Mu Yun could say the words "I don't mind", Lao Zhang had already punched Zheng Quan in the face.Zheng Quan originally reacted extremely fast, but he didn't expect Lao Zhang to do it as soon as he said it, with a smile on his face, and he just fell down straight.

"Your punch is really hard..." Looking at Zheng Quan's pair of glasses that flew so far and only now landed, Mu Yun couldn't help but feel pain for him.

"No way, this guy is too fast. If I don't knock him out with this punch, and give him a chance to fight back, I, Lao Zhang, can't control him." Lao Zhang shook his fist. With all his strength, Mu Yun sympathized with Zheng Quan again in his heart, thinking that even a red devil would be fooled by Lao Zhang's punch. It seems that Lao Zhang said he hates scholars, and he probably meant the truth.

"Okay, now we can talk." Lao Zhang said, "The reason why I didn't stop you from carrying out your plan was because I always wanted to see what purpose this guy has followed us all the way, but it's a pity This guy is too cunning, if I let him follow me, I'm afraid that my Lao Zhang's old bottom will be discovered by him. I still can't see what kind of board he is playing, so I simply punched him unconscious, Don’t worry about it so much.”

Mu Yun nodded, thinking about what Zheng Quan's real purpose was, he knew a little bit about it, but it was inconvenient to share it with Lao Zhang, so he asked, "Then you trust me?"

Lao Zhang looked Mu Yun up and down, "Although I, Lao Zhang, don't believe that you are the incarnation of a bright knight, you are a commoner knight, and I, Lao Zhang, have observed you until now, and you seem to be very different from your master. You don't seem to have learned anything about that guy Li Jing, you know how to rush forward when things happen, whether you say you are naive or naive, or reckless and ignorant, in short, you and your master are insidious, cunning, despicable and shameless. Your generation is completely different!" He lowered his voice, glanced into the distance, and winked at Mu Yun, "Plus, Xiao Yezi's attitude towards you is not bad, unlike ordinary stinky men who treat you indifferently, I almost regard you as my own younger brother, you must know that Xiao Yezi was only so close to me in the past, and I, Lao Zhang, believed in Xiao Yezi's vision, so I decided to take a gamble and trust you once!"

I can't be happy to hear that, can I?And even if you lower your voice, it's still loud, okay?Mu Yun was slapped hard on the shoulder by Lao Zhang a few times, and his internal organs almost came out. After finally standing still, he quickly stood a little far away from him, and asked seriously: "So you What is the real plan?"

Lao Zhang scratched his chin, "Actually, I have revealed something before, didn't you hear it?"

what tone?Mu Yun recalled what Lao Zhang said before, and couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Isn't it? Taking the opportunity to rob Teng Jiaxing, this is your real plan?"

"It seems that you are not so stupid!" Lao Zhang reached out to pat Mu Yun's shoulder again, but this time because Mu Yun stood a little far away, he simply punched Mu Yun's chest, loudly Approved, "That's right, although my Lao Zhang's Rose Knights were once stigmatized and framed as bandits and rebellious parties, but with my Lao Zhang's tireless efforts, the current mass base is still very good. Join Rose The brothers of the Knights are far more than the 60 people you see in front of you, but the number of battle armor is limited. Usually, everyone can only practice on the virtual machine, and there is no chance to touch the real machine. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the major branches of Teng Jia Bank to defend the emptiness, arm those brothers who have no armor, and fuck his second uncle's Skeleton Knights!"

What you said by doing your own thing, isn’t it just tirelessly robbing those nobles?Besides, since your brothers have never even touched the real machine, even if they get the armor, will they really have the ability to fight against the Skull Knights?Even if your command is good, the current group of old rookies is enough to command. At that time, add a group of new rookies. Are you sure it's not for the Skull Knights to cut vegetables?Mu Yun scratched his head vigorously, always thinking that Lao Zhang just wanted to take the opportunity to rob Teng Jiaxing, and the Skeleton Knights who killed his second uncle just added it casually?For such a group of guys whose main business is to rob nobles, they are full of gangsters but want to call themselves knights. Mu Yun is also very conflicted in his heart. After all, the real knights in his mind should be like Mu Chuan...

Mu Yun stopped her thoughts that were drifting away, cleared her throat, and asked, "How many brothers can your Rose Knights mobilize in total? Whether they have been on the real machine or only the virtual system, at least a little The kind based on riding and armor skills?"

"120!" Lao Zhang puffed up his chest and replied proudly.

Mu Yun scratched his head again.To be able to find 120 guys with a bit of knight blood among the civilians is indeed something to be proud of, but the 120 knights are not very good, and half of them are not at all. Those with actual combat experience will have to face the Skull Knights that swept across the continent in the Millennium War, which is still no different from going to death.

"No way," Lao Zhang said with a tragic face, "It's rare to have such a good opportunity, and I, Lao Zhang, also want to rob a few more armors, but there are only a limited number of people with knight blood among the common people. The number of people who happen to join the Knights of the Rose will be even fewer, and my old Zhang and his brothers have done their best, so you don’t always meet someone and ask him if there are any illegitimate children of nobles in the three generations of his ancestors, right?”

"But even if the number of people is limited and the strength is limited, Lao Zhang's Rose Knights will never back down!" I only heard Lao Zhang say loudly, "I often hear people say that our brothers are full of gangsters behind their backs. He is obviously a bandit who robbed his house, but he still dares to call himself a knight? My old Zhang will let those who look down on my Knights of the Rose take a good look at it, let them keep their eyes open, and see who are those noble knights at the critical moment Will they come forward, or will our civilian knights rush forward? Let them keep their eyes open and see who is protecting them! Who is the real knight!"

"Boss, well said!"

"Let those guys who look down on our brothers open their eyes and see who is the real knight!"

"That's right, if we can fight against the Skull Knights, our brothers will also be famous in history!"

"That's not true, as long as you come back with your life, the big health care street must give us brothers a free ticket!"

"If you can kill a skeleton knight, then you are a hero! Donglin's girls are all up to you, and you don't care about health care!"

"Speaking of which, how much is this skeleton knight worth?"

"It's a thousand-year-old antique, how much do you think it's worth? We're already well off after tearing down the bones and selling the roots!"

"I knew that following the boss would lead to success!"

It was still full of gangster shouts, but seeing more than 60 armors of various types slapping their breastplates together and making a clanging sound, Mu Yun suddenly felt a sense of enthusiasm, and he almost shouted "robbery!" Teng Jiaxing counts me in.”

Although he had a vague feeling that no matter how tragic what Lao Zhang said, given his brave and cunning character, he probably wouldn't go head-to-head with the Skull Knights, but his determination to face the Skull Knights was true.Especially those brothers under him, even though they said that they are girls and money, they are willing to take risks and rush to the East China Sea overnight, even if all they can get is a pile of value, even the ammunition they consumed. The scarlet devil's claws, which can't even reach them, are still fighting high, and no one flinches in the battle. This is enough to prove that they have chivalry in their hearts, but they can't change the habit of bandits in their mouths. They have to say a few words, maybe it's to deliberately flaunt the difference between them and those noble knights who are full of beautiful words!

Although these guys have no similarities with Mu Chuan at all, they can be called real knights... Mu Yun thought to himself.He suddenly felt a pang of sadness, because he soon realized that no matter what clever tactics Lao Zhang could come up with, if only these people were used to deal with the Skull Knights, most of them would die in the battle.

It's not fair.he thought.Why are those noble knights with no chivalry at all who have the blood of knights?Although he had already guessed that the so-called knight blood was just the result of genetic inheritance after being infected by the fire particles, he was still angry: why the most powerful knights on this continent that he knew were the most ruthless Despicable people?Whether it's Li Jing or the wolf lord, why do they have such a powerful knight blood?
This is not fair, Mu Yun thought, if these knights of the Rose Knights could have even a slightly stronger knight blood, their chances of surviving the battle with the Skull Knights would be a little higher...

His eyes widened.Suddenly, he realized that he could actually do something—he could increase the chances of these people surviving, he could increase the chances of these people defeating the Skull Knights.

He can keep more people alive.

He patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder, "When you rob Teng Jiaxing this time, you must remember to get a few more armors, the more the better."

"What?" Lao Zhang scratched his chin, "No matter how many armors you make, there are no knights and birds? This time, everyone will probably have to confess here. If your life is gone, you don't have to be greedy for money. Armors It’s not easy to sell, and if you really survive, you can’t make money, right?”

"There will be knights," Mu Yun directly ignored the words behind Lao Zhang, "You'd better ask the Haimin from now on if any of them have illegitimate children of nobles in the three generations of their ancestors, and pick them out. Come out, no, you don’t even need to be the illegitimate sons of nobles, even ordinary people who are smarter and stronger, start training them in armor and riding skills from now on, they will be useful.”

"Boy," Lao Zhang looked at him suspiciously, "You should know that the Skull Knights will land in ten days at most, right? You should also know that even if ordinary people have a little bit of ancestral knight blood, if they want to be in ten days It's basically impossible to control a real armor, right? Basically, you can't even stand firmly, and you can't even walk?"

"I know," Mu Yun said seriously, "but within ten days, I will find a way to change all of this."

As long as he has a way to get the fire, he can change everything.

He had seen firsthand the power of this change, in himself.

And he does know exactly where to go to get tinder.

At this moment, a call request came from a channel in his headset. After he connected, he heard the voice of Butler Ji, "Both, did you forget something?"

He saw that the black ninja of Feiye not far away raised his head almost at the same time as him, looking at the sky.

In the night sky, a gorgeous golden airship is approaching, and the logo of Tengjiahang is shining on the belly of the airship.

"The Chinese banquet is about to start in an hour, and Ji Yan suggests that you two take this airship to the castle tower, so that you can arrive at least before the last dessert is removed, and you won't stay hungry at the banquet." night."

Mu Yun raised his head and smiled at the sky, "The time is just right."
