C243 What a Joke She Is the Original City Lord
"Impudent! All of you are impudent! I am the City Lord of Donglin City, and I will always be the City Lord." John stood up again and roared with all his might.
"You still dare to call me the City Lord?" The soldier's face showed a trace of anger and hatred. "When you gave up on Donglin City and everyone else, you had nothing to do with Donglin City. I don't know how much better Donglin City is now compared to when you were in power. I advise you. If you want to live a good life, go and be a rich man. Otherwise, there won't be any good fruit for you to eat."
"You!" John's eyes turned red. He suddenly turned around and said to the mercenary with a deep forehead, "Chop them up for me. One thousand Desolate coins per person!"
"One thousand Desolate coins!"
Hearing this, the mercenaries' expressions changed slightly. They looked at the four guarding the door and their eyes lit up.
"What are you doing? Do you want to rebel?" The guards were not ignorant people. They were all armed. As long as these mercenaries moved, they would attack.
"Captain, one thousand Desolate coins is our personal income for two months. After doing this, we won't have to worry for half a year." The mercenary group was a small group of over fifty people. Some of them who were interested had already started to speak to the captain.
The leader's expression changed. Then, with a fierce expression, he took the lead and walked forward.
John, who was in a rage, suddenly had a happy expression on his face. Then, he turned around and looked at the guard with a ferocious expression. He said in a cold voice, "Die, you traitors, all of you deserve to die!"
The expressions of the soldiers changed, but they did not show any signs of panic. During this period of time, the respect that outsiders had for Donglin City made them feel a sense of dignity. If they cowered in front of the adventurers hired here today, how could they raise their heads in front of their colleagues in the future?
The eight soldiers raised their swords and coldly looked at the dozens of adventurers surrounding them.
At this critical moment.
"What are you doing?"
A cold voice came from the City Lord's door.
Hearing that, both sides turned their heads to look.
The eight guards knelt down on one knee and said, "City Lord."
"City Lord??"
John narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed.
The fifty over hired adventurers were all surprised and bewildered.
Niu Li frowned and looked at the kneeling soldier. "What's going on?"
"City Lord Lord, these people besieged City Lord Mansion under the orders of the previous city lord John. City Lord, please make a decision."
"Former, City Lord?" A trace of surprise flashed across Niu Li's eyes. He looked up and down at the gloomy and scary John, then laughed lightly. "Indeed, you look more like the City Lord than I do."
John did not have a good expression on his face. He said coldly, "Donglin City is mine. Where did you come from?"
Niu Li smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "City Lord John, right? Do you know that the Gale Pirate is currently in Donglin City? As long as the matter in Desolate Star Ancient Road is settled, the Gale Pirate will immediately attack Donglin City."
"What?" John turned pale with fright. He looked around, but he felt that he was a little cowardly. He quickly straightened his face and said, "Don't scare me, Gale Pirate. Hmph, you don't even put me in your eyes. Now it's you, get the hell out of here! Otherwise, when I get angry, you won't be able to leave. "
Niu Li said with a disdainful smile. This bastard was just like what everyone had said. He was truly a pig.
Niu Li said, "You don't believe me? Look over there." Niu Li pointed his finger over.
John couldn't help but turn his head to look. His face instantly turned pale, and his entire body couldn't help but tremble.
"Swift Gale Pirate!"
John's face instantly became incomparably frightened, as if a devil was walking towards him with a ferocious smile.
At a corner far away from the crowd, a dozen or so silent swordsman were standing there.
They were no different from ordinary adventurers, but there was a white skeleton pattern on the left side of the swordsman's chest, and it was impossible to fake it. The Gale Pirate had a special symbol.
"How is this possible? Didn't the Elder Council suppress the Gale Pirate and prevent it from attacking the Donglin City? How could this be? " John had a blank expression on his face, and his whole body felt weak.
"Not attacking? That's because of me. If I leave, hehe." Niu Li glanced at John. "You might be lying in City Lord Mansion tomorrow, and you will never be able to get up."
John shivered again. Then he thought of something and said, "No, no, I can hire you. As long as you protect me, the Gale Pirate will not attack the city. Yes, that's right."
Niu Li was dumbfounded. This bastard must have been scared silly. He should have given up his position as the City Lord and protected him. F * ck you.
"Idiot! Someone come and chase them away!" Niu Li was a little disgusted. He had actually chatted with such a person for a long time. This was really insulting him.
"You dare?! I am the City Lord!"
However, at this moment, dozens of soldiers emerged from the City Lord Mansion. It was obvious that they were all valiant lords.
Seeing this, the mercenaries did not dare to move. They began to retreat one by one. John, who was roaring, was thrown far away by the two soldiers.
"Aiyo, you damn lowlifes. How dare you beat up the city lord? I want revenge. None of you will live." The fat City Lord was dizzy from the fall. He could only take advantage of them verbally.
Niu Li shook his head and could not be bothered with this guy. He turned around and left quickly.
At this moment, the mercenaries who saw that the situation was not right also began to quietly leave. Anyway, the employment fee had already been paid, and they had already sent the guards to their destination. This was considered as completing the mission they had accepted.
After a moment, in the vast open space in front of the City Lord Mansion, only John and his family looked around blankly, not knowing what was going on.
When Niu Li arrived at the Donglin City's command center, Mouch, Dam, as well as the higher-ups of Balu's princess hall, had been waiting for a long time.
"Lord, you are here."
Mouch was the first to greet him and said, "Currently, most of the forces in the development zone have gathered in Donglin City. A small portion of them have already entered Desolate Star Ancient Road. Do we need to do something? "
Niu Li looked around. Dam, Balu and the others all had eager expressions. He smiled and said, "Why? Do you also want to enter the Desolate Star Ancient Road to try your luck?"
Balu was the oldest among them, but he could not help but feel excited when he saw the rare gathering in the Desolate Star. He smiled and said, "I'm old now. I don't have many chances to take risks. Being able to participate in such a large-scale adventure today is not a waste of my life."
At the same time, some of the higher ups in the Hall of High Lords also secretly nodded in agreement.
Niu Li smiled. "Indeed. Although this was created by us, the Desolate Star Ancient Road itself has a great charm. Also, there should be some extraordinary existences in the depths of the ___. However, we need to make a proper plan. Otherwise, once we enter the Desolate Star Ancient Road, the Donglin City will lose its main strength. That will be bad. "
Mouch, Balu and the others' eyes lit up. Lord had decided to enter the Desolate Star Ancient Road as well.
"Lord, don't worry. I'm willing to stay in the Donglin City. The people in the city are here." Dam was the first to express his stance. His face was filled with sincerity.
To be honest, Dam, who had grown up here, was very curious about the Desolate Star Ancient Road. Furthermore, he was weak. Even if he went there, it would only drag him down. It would be better for him to stay in Desolate Star Ancient Road.
Niu Li nodded. "Alright. To show the authenticity of the existence of the Desolate Star Ancient Road, and to make our plan more perfect. Therefore, we have to go deeper into the ___. However, let me make this clear first. The interior of the Desolate Star must be filled with danger. Those who don't want to participate in it should withdraw as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late to withdraw after we enter the ___. "
Everyone looked at each other, but none of them said anything.
Niu Li nodded and smiled. "Alright, since none of you are willing to leave, then I will make some arrangements. I have decided to train hard in this trip to the Desolate Star Ancient Road. All of the people here are the cream of the crop. Every one of them has a cultivation base no lower than the Swordsman, and they have been through hundreds of battles. My vigilance is much higher than the others, so I have decided to split into two groups. "
"Please instruct me, Lord." Mouch said in a deep voice.
"The first group is led by Mouch. He leads 30 people, 20 swordsman, two mages, one High Mage (Elder Baru, Deputy Captain), six archers, and one assassin.
The second group will be led by himself. He will lead Elf, Fox Girl, Ms Pao, Myron and the Gale Devil Wolf. He will also lead Ebner, who just arrived yesterday.
Collect! Even a hundred is not enough! Sang Xin said.
