Chapter 173 Inspecting Liwen Fortress (1)
Lu Ping entered the castle and was about to find Bill and Mo Shi, but the housekeeper sent him a note, which wrote all Solo's activities during this period, including the number of times he went to the toilet.

Solo stayed in the room most of the time, only talked to the hotel owner once, went to the Victory Chamber of Commerce once, went to the door to "bath the sun" twice, and never talked to any dark knights or necromancers living in the hotel .

It looks normal on the surface, but it is very abnormal. He is in the same group as Bill and Mo Shi. Why doesn't he even say hello?This is too contrived, right?

Originally, Lu Ping planned to leave some dark knights and necromancers to deal with Taris, but now he changed his mind. Taris is just a turtle in a urn, and he will definitely not escape. If he sends someone to deal with them, Solo will know his actions.

Lu Ping said to the steward, "Ask Mo Shi and Bill to gather their troops. I need their guards as I'm going to inspect the territory."

The steward asked: "My lord, you have to go for a few days. The messenger from Erasia is still waiting for your investigation results."

"I know this, I will arrange it, you can rest assured."

"But...you really have a way to send them away?"

Lu Ping waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this matter, just do your own thing well."

The butler didn't dare to say any more, and hurried out. After a while, Bill and Mo Shi gathered at the door with the dark knight and necromancer. Lu Ping didn't say much, took them and left.

All the way to the door of the hotel, Lu Ping said to Mo Shi: "Tell everyone inside to come out and follow us."

Now Mo Shi was also a little surprised. The day before yesterday he made a big noise to ask people to vacate the room to live in, but today he left again. What kind of tricks did he want to play?But he didn't say anything, and immediately sent someone in to call out all the dark knights and necromancers who were staying in the hotel, and joined the team and walked towards the gate of the city.

Leng Wa came over closely: "Brother, I heard that you are dispatched with a gang of thugs, what are you going to do?"

Lu Pingdao: "I didn't do anything, just go shopping and inspect the territory."

"What about us?"

"You can do whatever you want, you can pick up girls, you can farm monsters, you can go to the three major guilds to do your best, whatever you like."

"I still want to go with you. With so many talented people going out, I must do something."

Lu Ping was secretly surprised, Leng Wa could guess it, and others could guess it, but no one could guess that he had colluded with the elves, right?No one should know about this matter. If the Griffin Empire is prepared, it will not work well.

When the team arrived at the gate of the city, Bruce, the captain of the guard, stepped forward and asked, "My lord, where are you going?"

Lu Ping pretended to be mysterious, and said in a low voice: "I received a secret report that some generals in the Liwen Fortress have been bought by the Griffin Empire and are planning to treason and defect to the enemy. I must take someone to suppress it. You don't want to spread this matter."

Although he had lowered his voice, Bill, Mo Shi and several city gate guards nearby still heard it. Even Bill, who had never expressed any expression, rolled his eyes and looked at Mo Shi beside him. Both of them were a little surprised. They looked at each other.

Bruce took a few steps closer, and glanced at the direction of the hotel in the city: "What if they want to leave?"

"Uh, maybe they won't be in a hurry to leave if things don't work out, and we won't be able to keep them if we really want to leave, right?"

"Yes, I understand."

Lu Ping smiled, and took a hundred dark knights and a hundred necromancers out of the city. He had already stated the purpose of the trip, so Bill and Mo Shi stopped talking, and the hundred dark knights sat neatly. On horseback, necromancers cast flying thaumaturgy on themselves or their companions.

Mo Shi personally released a flying thaumaturgy on Lu Ping, and Lu Ping regained the flying state, and his movement speed increased by 160% while in the air, which lasted for 32 minutes.

It turns out that necromancers are best at dark magic, and elemental magic cannot reach the master level, so Mo Shi's air magic is only at the master level, and it is not as effective as some top-quality scrolls.

"Wait for me……"

Someone was shouting from the direction of the city gate, Lu Ping looked back, but it was Qiuye Tingxue running towards this side.He just felt that it was too lonely to be alone, and it was inappropriate to take someone else with him. He didn't expect her to come, but he asked, "Why don't you go to upgrade?"

Qiuye was a little out of breath when Tingxue ran so fast, she winked mischievously at him: "Levels can be practiced slowly, but there is only one chance to have fun."

Lu Ping suddenly remembered what happened last night. Why was he still making out with her in his dream? Could it be that she is still in love with him?No, no, maybe thinking about someone has become a habit, and it is not easy to change it.

Qiuye Tingxue seemed to see the affection and pain in his eyes, her body couldn't help trembling slightly, avoiding his gaze: "Are you taking me there or not?"

"Okay, let's go."

Lu Ping calmed down, added her to the team, and asked the necromancer to add a flying thaumaturgy to her, and the two flew up first.

"Ah, I can fly, I can fly!" Qiuye Tingxue jumped up and down in the air like a child.This is a game with a high degree of fidelity. People in the game are just like in reality. Suddenly, their bodies become lighter and they can fly. It feels really amazing.

Lu Ping shouted: "Let's go!"

"Boom..."

The dark knight rushed out like a stream of black iron, and the iron hooves hit the ground, making a thunderous sound. Although there were only a hundred riders, the momentum was like a thousand horses.Lu Ping looked down from the sky and saw that they were as fast as arrows out of the bow, unstoppable, dragging a cloud of dust behind them, which was quite spectacular.

Looking at the back, the necromancers have already taken off collectively, walking in the air with very elegant steps, neat and fast.Although they are ruthless and unsmiling, their movements are always very elegant.

Lu Ping couldn't help feeling in his heart, it would be great if this team really belonged to him!
Qiuye Tingxue said in the team channel: "I really admire you, you can command such a powerful NPC army."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Lu Ping's mouth: "I don't know who is directing whom. They follow me with ill intentions..." He briefly told her about the relationship between Harmondale and surrounding countries and the current situation.

Qiuye Tingxue said: "I really didn't expect the situation to be so complicated. The NPCs in this game are too smart, and they will intrigue just like real people."

Lu Pingdao: "My acting lord is still in name only, just a puppet. It is difficult for Harmondale to survive in the cracks, and sooner or later there will be wars. Instead of passively waiting for slaughter, it is better to take the initiative to do a big wash. By using their relationship to provoke them to kill each other, I have the opportunity to truly establish my own position and establish my own power."

"I really admire you more and more, but what if the elves defeat the Griffon Empire and occupy Harmondale? Or the elves retreat after losing the battle, and the Griffin Empire will definitely not let you go ...then what should I do?"

Lu Ping nodded: "This is possible, and I don't have a good solution, because my power is too weak-in fact, I don't have any power that really belongs to me. It's hard to do anything with nothing. In case of failure, I will not be the lord and wander the world, there are still many places in this world, and many things are worth exploring."

Qiuye Tingxue said: "I also think that being a lord is very tiring. It's more comfortable to roam the world as you said, but being a lord is also very beautiful. It would be great if you have many elite troops like this. "

"Well, take your time."

"..."

The two were chatting while flying in the sky. Although the dark knight below was running fast, he gradually fell behind, and the necromancer followed closely behind.Anyway, they could find their way, so it didn't matter if they arrived a little later, so Lu Ping didn't slow down and continued to move forward.

There were players who couldn't come and go on the road. When they saw the two "flying together", with a large group of necromancers behind them, they all looked up and whistled sharply.

After flying for more than ten minutes, the necromancers added flying thaumaturgy magic and continued to move forward. After half a day, they saw the city wall of Fort Levin. They didn't see the dwarven team along the way, so they should have arrived.

The guards in the fortress were not notified in advance. They suddenly saw a group of necromancers flying towards this side, and they all became nervous. The swords were unsheathed, the bows and crossbows were stringed, and the magic fort was shining with light.Since the defense of the fortress is mainly aimed at the outside, now that an unknown army suddenly came inside, they seemed a little confused.

Mo Shi caught up with Lu Ping in three or two steps: "My lord, they are preparing to attack us, they should fall to the ground first to avoid accidental injury."

Lu Ping asked: "Are you afraid of them?"

"No, of course we are not afraid of them, but the magic fort is very powerful... They are our own people, so it would be wrong to accidentally injure them."

"Then you go to the ground, walk to the city gate and wait, I will fly over first."

Mo Shi said: "My lord, if some of them are really planning to rebel, it may be dangerous for you to go there alone."

Wherever someone rebelled, it was just an excuse for Lu Ping to take them on a trip, so he said with a smile: "Don't worry, they won't attack me before they start to act. Just wait for my notice outside the fortress."

Mo Shi had no choice but to follow suit. Lu Ping and Qiuye Tingxue continued to fly forward. The people in the fortress saw that there were only two people flying over, so they became less nervous.

Lu Ping's title of acting lord had already been revealed. When he flew close to the fortress, the guards saw it, and they were completely relieved. The people on the top of the city retreated one after another, and vacated an open space to welcome the lord.

When Lu Ping and Qiuye heard the snow falling on the top of the city, three people who looked like generals stood in a row and bowed down to salute them: "See the acting lord!"

"Ok!"

Lu Ping was a little displeased. In Harmondale, out of "respect", people generally don't add the word "dai" in person, but these three guys insisted on adding the word "dai", obviously looking down on him.

Standing in the middle is Gene Gawain, the guard of Fort Levin. He is tall and strong, with a beard. He is about fifty years old. His eyes are shining, and he is not angry; the lieutenant on the left is named Clive Bray. Dun is a handsome young man in his 20s; the lieutenant on the right is named Al Brown, who looks a little short and fat, also has a big beard and several scars on his face, looks cold and fierce, Very unflattering.

The three of them didn't mean to welcome him warmly at all, and even the soldiers standing around had uneasiness and frustration on their faces, and they didn't look happy about his arrival at all.

Jean Gawain looked at Lu Ping expressionlessly, and Al Brown seemed to be hostile or guarded. Only Clive Brayton smiled a little: "May I ask what's the matter with the lord coming here suddenly?"

Lu Pingdao: "I heard that the Griffin Empire has assembled a large number of troops outside the fortress, preparing to attack us. Of course I want to inspect the defense situation."

Jean Gawain asked: "Excuse me, my lord, is it true or false that they said you stole the heart of the griffin?"

Lu Ping was secretly angry, these guys are really arrogant, dare to ask him like this, he spread his hands: "Of course not, don't you, as soldiers, don't you know that you need to find an excuse when you want to attack other countries? Their national treasure Will it be easily stolen?"

Gene Gawain didn't speak, Al Brown said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, what matters is that they are really going to attack us this time, what are you going to do?"

Lu Ping doesn't have any prestige in the army, these people are not familiar with him, and compared with NPCs of eighty, ninety or even hundreds of levels, his strength is really too weak, so not only the three generals look down on him, but even the people next to him look down on him. There is no trace of respect on the faces of the soldiers.

Lu Pingdao: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover us, if they dare to attack us, we will beat them to hell!"

"Chick!" Many people sneered and snorted disdainfully. They are really ignorant boys. How can these people fight against the army of the Griffin Empire?

Lu Ping said seriously: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days is a short time. What are you doing with a lot of gold coins? Are you ready to give up before the enemy attacks? Could it be that the enemy threatens the territory, and you are not thinking about how to fight? Are you thinking of using me, the lord, as a shield?"

The faces of the soldiers immediately changed, some were ashamed, some were angry, and some shouted: "Who said we have to give up?"

Jean Gao Wen's face was ashen: "My lord, you have no idea how strong the enemy is. Talking about war on paper can't solve the problem."

Lu Ping immediately asked back: "So you have a solution to the problem?"

Jean opened his mouth and closed it tightly again. No one dared to contradict Lu Ping again, because it was their duty to guard the fortress. No matter how strong the enemy was or not, no matter what excuses the enemy used to start the war, they would live and die with the fortress!

Lu Ping secretly screamed that it was not good. Before the fight started, he was already demoralized and demoralized. Fortunately, he had other arrangements for how to fight this battle. Otherwise, these people would not be able to stop him for a day. The acting lord's throne is about to step down before it's hot

Lu Ping said loudly: "Since I have become the acting lord, I have the responsibility to protect the safety of the territory and all the people, and I will never let the invaders' plot succeed, so I will definitely be able to solve this crisis, you must have confidence in me! "

This time no one laughed, but the expressions on each face were more embarrassing than ridicule.

Lu Ping suppressed his anger and asked, "Have the dwarves sent by Baides arrived?"

Jean Gawain said: "When it's here, it's right below. Digging a well when you're thirsty won't help much."

Lu Ping wished he could slap this bearded man. As the chief general, he would talk in frustration before the battle started.

Chapter 170 Four hidden dangers
Lu Ping and Qiuye Tingxue walked down the stairs of the city wall and found the dwarves craftsmen in the northwest corner of the city. They have been here in less than five days, and they have worked very hard.

The dwarves were sitting on the side of the road, and their vehicles and luggage were parked on the road. Nunu looked very angry, and when he saw Lu Ping, he asked, "You don't need Nunu, what are you calling Nunu for?"

Lu Ping was puzzled: "Who said you are not needed anymore? We welcome you very much and need you very much!"
