Beast Throne

Chapter 548 Strikes Again
The siege of Bender City has been lifted for many days, and daily life in the city has basically returned to normal.Residents acted as if nothing had happened, doing what they did before, and even merchants in several surrounding provinces began to purchase goods in large quantities to make up for the loss of trade in the previous period.

This is really a very strange performance, Wu Tong has been surprised from ear to ear for the past two days.They all knew that Su Tu's side was tantamount to rebellion, and not long ago, the two sides really fought with swords and guns. As a result, as soon as the lords left, they secretly sent gifts, and then the caravan came. up.

After much deliberation, Wu Tong could only sigh inwardly that this kind of political system of enfeoffing land was really unacceptable. On the surface they all defended the royal family, but secretly they kept making small moves and did not work hard.The three lords who brought troops to attack were probably also afraid that Su Tu would attack them if they really succeeded in the future, so they simply flattered both sides, not seeking merit but seeking no fault. location.

What Wu Tong didn't expect was that on the one hand, he was surprised by the situation in the city, and on the other hand, others were also frightened by him.Originally, Wu Tong thought he would become a hero, the idol of the residents of the city. After all, we were the ones who saved the whole city, so we should give some reaction.

Wu Tong even saw himself walking on the street alone in his dream, the residents of the city lined up to welcome him, the girls gave them sweet kisses, and the children and his wives hugged their newborn babies who couldn't speak and let him pat their heads, etc. of.It happened that Mu Xing was here, and when she came with the elves, they wouldn't be so surprised.

After all, there has never been an elf king who can enjoy such a high reputation among humans.

It's just that Wu Tong was wrong. When he really walked on the street the next day, the residents of the city saw him, and instead of welcoming him, they were a little afraid.It's not fear, it's just pure fear of powerful creatures.

This made Wu Tong very depressed. Walking around the city, not only the residents, but even the soldiers had the same reaction.After walking all the way to Su Tu's side, the situation got a little better. Those strong people who were more or less hostile when they saw Wu Tong before now saw Wu Tong as if they saw a ghost... Satisfied with this response.

After sitting with Su Tu, Su Tu sincerely expressed his gratitude to Wu Tong on behalf of the people of the whole city, and then he was busy with his own business.Wu Tong endured it for a long time, but in the end he was too embarrassed to ask.

What Wu Tong never thought of was that this was actually the reason why his performance was too exaggerated.A powerful forbidden spell struck, and if Wu Tong tried his best to block it back, even if he was scarred and half dead, he would definitely be regarded as a hero by the soldiers and people in the city.

However, not only was Wu Tong not injured at all, but he even vomited it back.No way, no way, Wu Tong shouldn't have used the method of vomiting to fight back.At that time, there were countless pairs of eyes who saw it. Wu Tong threw Su Tu back first, then covered his stomach and opened his mouth, and then that gorgeous and colorful flame magic hodgepodge appeared, burning the masters on the opposite side. Not in human form.

It was precisely because of this weird movement that the soldiers and civilians in the city knew that Wu Tong had swallowed the destruction magic, and then spit it out again.As a result, everyone's performance towards Wu Tong changed from amazing to frightened instantly, from Ultraman to Godzilla. Although they all did the same thing, it was tragic that they could only scare the residents.

After all, it is definitely impossible for a human to eat a piece of destruction magic... Everyone firmly believes in this.

But this also brought an advantage, that is, Wu Tong's reputation is getting bigger and bigger.Although Wu Tong's identity has not been disclosed to the public, there are quite a few people who know his name and origin.After being passed on by these people, within two days, the whole Bender City knew that Wu Tong was an elf named Suzaku, and he was also the legendary elf king.

One spread ten, ten spread a hundred, Wu Tong's prestige quickly spread to several surrounding provinces. After all, many people on the opposite side saw the scene of Wu Tong's "power". Even more surprised by his ability.

Then, Wu Tong soon became a peerless monster who could swallow flames alive and breathe out fire clouds, and the abilities of the elves were also sublimated in the rumors.Originally, some people who don't want to kill people are just as Wu Tong guessed. As soon as they heard about elves, they immediately thought of the business of capturing elves and beautiful women as slaves.

There is such a terrifying elf king, who knows what the other elves will look like. Between profit and life, those people still choose the latter.

This can be regarded as an unexpected benefit, and another thing happened later, which deepened this impression.

Evening star didn't come back for a long time. Su Tu asked twice, but Wu Tong was not in a hurry.With the luxurious plastic surgery at home now, the elves themselves add a bunch of powerful monsters, plus a golden dragon and a weird white dragon, even if the demon king comes in a team, they can easily deal with it.

In order to let Su Tu understand more clearly, Wu Tong even gave an example: If the elf forest rebelled now, he, the legendary elf king who was rumored to be miraculous, would also suffer when he returned.

Wu Tong refused to disclose, so Su Tu naturally couldn't ask more, so he had to continue to help him with his own affairs.There was no war during this period, and the busiest thing was the information systems of all parties. All kinds of messy information, true and false, were gathered and sent to Sutu in a steady stream. He and his think tanks were busy all day sorting out and analyzing , Wu Tong occasionally feels tired watching from the sidelines.

However, Su Tu's mood was much better than before, because after the previous battle, more lords fell to him.Firstly, it was because Su Bolai did not win the battle, and on the other hand, it was because Su Bolai ordered the army to return to the vicinity of the imperial city.

It was only after listening to Su Tu's explanation that Wu Tong understood the tricks: In each province, there are usually two armies, one is the lord's private army, and the other is Tianyang's regular army.

Among them, Tianyang's regular army is equivalent to the reserve force of the Tianyang Empire. Every year, Marshal Nimitz will select the elite from these local armies to supplement his ten major legions, and then let those who cannot continue due to injuries War veterans with rich experience are sent to these units to serve as instructors and cultivate fresh blood.

This Wu Tong understands very well. This approach is very good. On the one hand, it can be rotated, and on the other hand, it can also play the role of monitoring the major lords.For example, the army that Wu Tong met in Raja City before belonged to Tianyang's regular army, and Wu Tong did not see the big lord come out to mediate at that time.

But because of Tianyang's long-term military and government separation, this originally good move gradually failed.Especially in the past ten years, since the three princes competed with each other, in order to win over local tyrants from all over the country, Prime Minister Hippoly gave the lords more power in exchange for their support.

But the greater the lord's power, the more money, and the more and more private troops they have, they gradually extended their hands to the Tianyang regular army stationed on their territory.

Over time, these regular troops gradually moved towards the local lords. After all, their soldiers came from other people's territories. As long as the lords were not too stupid, it was too easy to control them.

But now because of the demon invasion, the great lords only hate that there are not enough troops stationed in their territory, so how can they be willing to let them leave?But they couldn't blatantly come forward to stop them, and they could only watch helplessly as the Second Army, which had paid a lot of money and spent a lot of effort, left. At the same time, they were naturally dissatisfied with the royal family's actions.

In contrast, these people also felt that Su Tu was more reliable than Su Bolai, at least he was more powerful, so he could fight himself.As for who is the king, the lords are not particularly concerned about it, anyway, their status is at best like this.

In fact, in Su Tu's eyes, none of these lords with too much power is reliable, but now he also needs to rely on their strength and cannot make enemies with them.

But while gaining something, Su Tu also has his own depression, that is, there has been no news from the inner line of the imperial city for a long time.Because the cost of arranging this kind of eyeliner is very high, in order to avoid losses, Su Tu asked them not to send back information if they did not find something important.

The fact that they haven't received information for so long may be because there is really no news on the one hand, and it may also be because they exposed their identities and were caught and killed, but the second possibility is relatively small.

In short, after going through the previous tense battle, it suddenly became extremely relaxed, which made many people feel a little uncomfortable.But even Wu Tong, who is on the outside, knows that Su Tu, who is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, must never be the first to attack, and must wait patiently for the opportunity.

But what Su Tu and Wu Tong didn't expect was that a change would come soon.On this day, Su Xiang began to sort out the information as usual, and Wu Tong also habitually came over to waste time.The two had just sat down, and before they had time to talk nonsense, there was a loud bang, and the door of Su Tu's special office was pushed to the ground with a palm, and Su Tu almost tore the letter he had just written with a trembling hand in fright. Lose.

The simple and honest Su Hun stood at the door panting heavily. He probably wanted to knock on the door just now, but he couldn't control it with too much force, and even pushed the door down.

"What's the matter?" Su Tu looked at the wooden door sympathetically, not angry at Su Hun's actions.The latter was brought up by him alone, and he would never do this if there was no urgent matter.

"His Royal Highness, I just received an urgent military report." Su Hun handed Su Tu a piece of paper that looked a bit like waste paper. Then I randomly tore a sheet from another place, wrote a few words in a hurry, and sent it over.

Su Tu stretched out his hand, and the piece of paper flew into his hand automatically. He took a closer look before realizing that it was really a piece of waste paper, and the information was actually written on the back.But when he turned the piece of paper and glanced at it, his body shook violently, like Su Hun, he didn't control his strength well, and the piece of paper was cut in half by the wind.

"What's the matter?" Wu Tong rubbed his head, not ashamed to pick up the paper, and asked cautiously.

"Oge, personally led the two armies of the Royal Knights, the Scorpion, and the Violent Bear to attack." Su Tu let out a heavy breath, and then said word by word.
