Peerless God of War

Chapter 1956: Tragedy in Stormwind City

"Damn it! How dare he develop the Black Stone Forest?"

"He was able to conquer the demon clan in the Cold Stone Wasteland?! If he is allowed to successfully develop the Black Stone Forest, then..."

For a moment, everyone in Stormwind City couldn't sit still.

Some people were furious and wanted to unite with others to attack Chen Xiao.

Some people are planning secretly, hoping to take advantage of the situation and seize the opportunity.

In their opinion, Chen Xiao was just lucky before. In addition, this unmanned land has not yet outlawed the slave policy. Chen Xiao, who controls a group of monsters, will only find trouble in the end.

But they are different. They have elite human forces in their hands. As long as they take action, they will definitely be able to take more advantages and get more benefits than Chen Xiao!

All forces from all sides took action upon hearing the news and wanted to take the opportunity to develop the Black Stone Forest and seize the cultivation resources, making the entire border area become popular.

The first ones to bear the brunt are not the various elite talents, but the maps already in the hands of those adventurers!

The Blackstone Forest is full of ferocious beasts and is full of dangers.

Anyone who wants to develop the Blackstone Forest must first have a map, and the more detailed the better!

With a map, you can know where there are dangers and where there are precious cultivation resources, so that you can make more accurate plans and get the most benefits with minimal or even no losses!

Chen Xiao did not ask people to purchase maps, but the major forces called Storm Continent (the divine domain is divided into major regions, and the major regions are divided by names such as continents) did not have so many scruples.

In less than a day, the price of a very ordinary map has more than doubled, and the price is still skyrocketing.

Buying is still the best situation. Some powerful forces or individuals, relying on their own strength or the forces behind them, simply start snatching!

In Stormwind City, the Adventurer's Guild, which was usually a bustling guild, has become deserted, and almost all the adventurers have gone into hiding.

Developing the Blackstone Forest is a big deal, and the adventurers are already excited about it.

However, faced with solicitations from major forces, those adventurers had almost no chance to refuse.

If they defected to some force, that would be the best result. After all, it would be equivalent to them finding a backer.

And those adventurers who still have no backing have become the targets of oppression by major forces.

Just for the sake of some maps, those adventurers were almost suppressed and did not dare to come forward, and even did not dare to stay inside Stormwind City!

Not only Stormwind City, but even the entire Stormwind Continent!

…

"What are you doing? We don't have anything in our house, you can't break in!"

Outside Stormwind City, in a small village, a young boy wanted to stop the bandits who rushed into his house, but he had no strength to resist.

His grandfather had fallen ill and lost consciousness. He only had his last breath left.

"Search!"

A bearded man with beards glanced around and shouted: "This old guy has entered the Black Stone Forest before. He must have a map at home!"

Several men and women in bright armor immediately took action, and some even rolled the old man out of bed and started groping around him.

The dying old man simply couldn't stand this kind of torture. Those people had already died before the search was completed.

"No!"

The young man screamed, but those people ignored him at all. Instead, after finding a map, they left with a ferocious smile.

Similar scenes happened in many places in Stormwind Continent. Anyone who has a map related to the Blackstone Forest may be targeted.

It would be better if it were automatically contributed to the forces behind it.

But if they don't have anything to rely on and don't want to take the initiative to take it out, what's waiting for them is an unreasonable robbery.

Of course, few forces dare to act blatantly, and they basically try to keep a low profile.

However, even if some people are unscrupulous, no one dares to hold them accountable.

The reason is simple, the background behind them is very powerful!

Moreover, the most unscrupulous ones are the children of the city lord and the forces that cooperate with them!

This is hard to imagine, but it is a naked fact.

Those with some strength either resisted or fled.

As for those without strength, if they cooperate, they can still save their lives.

But if they dare to resist, what awaits them is extremely miserable torture.

"Map, map..."

The young man's face was full of tears, his eyes were red, and his body was shaking as he held the body that was gradually becoming cold, and suddenly thought of something.

He inspired the weak, almost non-existent Qi in his body, and a map appeared on his wrist.

Different from the ones those people took away, the map on his wrist was more detailed and even had a secret and safe path.

"I want revenge!"

The young man roared like a madman.

In Stormwind City, the Lord of Stormwind City frowned. He looked at the news reported by the spies, and a terrible murderous intention surged in his heart.

"City Lord, we..."

The shadow's voice was still so cold, as if nothing could cause his emotions to fluctuate.

However, before he finished speaking, the Lord of Stormwind City had already raised his head.

"Send the order, gather all the victims! I will settle accounts with them in person after a while!"

The Lord of Stormwind City tried his best to suppress the anger and murderous intent in his heart, and with a casual grip, all the jade slips were shattered into powder.

The Lord of Stormwind City was filled with unspeakable anger for the absurd behavior of his children and servants.

If he didn't want Stormwind City to be without an heir, he would have wanted to kill them directly and punish those useless people who were used by others and didn't wake up at all!

At the same time, he was also a little annoyed because of Chen Xiao's decision to develop the Black Stone Forest!

He is the biggest Lord of the entire Storm Continent. Who around him doesn't want him to bow down to him? This kid who jumped out of nowhere is so arrogant.

If it weren't for his series of actions, how could this place fall into such chaos?

However, the Lord of Stormwind City didn't know how to deal with Chen Xiao. After all, it wasn't Chen Xiao who was truly lawless and cruel to others.

Moreover, now, Chen Xiao has not only subdued most of the monsters in the Hanshi Wasteland, but he has also wiped out the bandits who have been plaguing the Hanshi Wasteland for many years. In a sense, he has done what countless city lords in the Storm Continent cannot do!
