It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Xiaxin City struggled to resist foreign invaders.

The desperate battle of Wangdong Camp yesterday was effective. At least for the people in the city, it greatly strengthened their determination to defend the city. With the work-for-relief program and the minimum living allowance, their families have more or less saved some spare money. In the past, they hoped to use this money to buy their lives from the soldiers of Yunyang, but now they suddenly found that they really had the possibility of repelling them and keeping their property. Who wouldn't want to give it a try?

They are just needed to transport supplies for defending the city, and they don't need to go to the front line in person.

The Propaganda Department of Shao Yuying had already posted various slogans on all the propaganda boards in the city:

"The rise and fall, everyone is responsible!"

"One person defends the city, the whole family is honored!"

"Instead of just watching, why not give it your all!"

"The army goes to the front for me, and I provide security for the army!"

"Yunyang's gang of bastards are nothing but that—"

People don't need flowery sentences, and they don't understand complicated principles.

But someone has to tell them what is the right thing to do, someone has to awaken the courage in their hearts.

They were able to face the surging waves of Yunyang soldiers, grit their teeth and stick to their work, and carry the heavy wood and stone to the front amid slogans. The people lined up in long queues, sweating on the bricks and stones under their feet. Whenever they found it difficult to hold on, they could see their companions fighting hard.

No one wants to be a deserter, and no one wants to be laughed at.

The Black Armor Battalion was holding on to the front line, and their heavy armor had become scarred after half a day of fighting. Most of the attacks fell on them, and even with the protection of the military formation, their armor became tattered in such a long battle. During this period, I don’t know how many Yunyang soldiers rushed to the top of the city under the heavy reward, but they were quickly blocked by them. Xiaxin City looked full of crisis and shaky, but it always managed to escape danger.

Outside the city, Lord Yunyang looked at Xiaxin City, which he had been unable to capture, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

Although Fang Shisan's defense was sophisticated, it was not fatal. She was indeed very successful in defending the city, but the Yunyang Lord still had two trump cards that he had not used. The Yunyang Guards and the guest officials of Yunyang were beside him and did not take action because the Yunyang Lord was still waiting. He was waiting for Fang Shisan to lose her patience first and release her hidden killer move first.

The rolling stones and falling wood will eventually run out, and Lord Yunyang also brought sufficient siege equipment, so the pressure faced by both sides is similar.

At present, Fang Shisan's layout is enough to withstand the attack of most armies, but the elite troops under Lord Yunyang are far different from the army of the city lord level. At present, most of Fang Shisan's experience in defending the city was accumulated in Zhaochen Territory. At that time, she fought with other city lords. When she came to Yuxi City, she still fought with other city lords. So far, she has never really been an enemy of an entire territory.

Lord Yunyang did not underestimate Fang Shisan's ability, so he believed that Fang Shisan's preparations were definitely not limited to what he had in front of him. He had to wait for Fang Shisan to make the first move.

The army brought by Lord Yunyang was enough for him to try and make mistakes, so Fang Shisan needed to carefully guess his thoughts, but he did not need to figure out Fang Shisan's tactics. He only needed to offer a high reward to lure his soldiers into a trap and exhaust Fang Shisan until he was exhausted. Manpower was limited, and any conspiracy was insignificant in the face of absolute strength.

As expected, at the moment when Xiaxin City changed its defense, the already precarious defense line became even more precarious. Yunyang's army took advantage of the situation and pressed forward in one breath, almost forcing a gap in Xiaxin City's defense line.

Seeing the fruits of victory, the soldiers of Yunyang worked harder to climb the city wall and climb to the top of the city wall, grinning and drawing their swords at the already exhausted soldiers of Yuxi City. But before they could show off their power for long, the people hiding in the parapet rushed out.

The members of Evil Valley have been waiting here for a long time!

Qian Teng, the "Smiling Devil" who joined the group at the same time as Pingzi, stretched out his hand and a large sword flew from the air and fell into his hand. With another swing, the heads of several Yunyang soldiers were separated from their bodies. He had a signature devilish smile on his face. After killing someone, he licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and said:

"Don't worry, it won't hurt. Death will come in just a moment."

【Ghost Hand】Wal, 【Broken Sword】Awen, 【White Face】Jade Owl, 【Fugitive】Seth, these villains who were already ranked high in the Valley of Evil followed closely behind. The Yunyang soldiers who had just climbed over the city wall were all killed in just a few breaths, and Yunyang's offensive suddenly stagnated a little.

Lord Yunyang, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though Yuxi City has done a good job of keeping secrets, the existence of the Evil Valley cannot be concealed. The reason is simple. The villains who make up the Evil Valley have all come to Yuxi City from all over the world, so naturally there are countless eyes watching them. Similarly, the Hero's Guild is no longer a secret. Many territories have begun to follow suit, but because they cannot learn the essence, they have never been as large as the Hero's Guild in Yuxi City.

Lord Yunyang knew that this card would be among Fang Shisan's trump cards.

This card was originally supposed to be used against Yunyang Guards or Yunyang Guest Officials.

Using experts to fight against experts is a common way of fighting. Fang Shisan has now launched the ambush troops of the Evil Valley to clear out the ordinary soldiers of Yunyang, which means that the situation is not as optimistic as she imagined. In yesterday's battle, about two to three thousand people on the side of the Yunyang lord died, but this was far from a serious injury to him. Yunyang's soldiers still maintained a very high numerical advantage on the battlefield, and the siege facilities they brought also eliminated the natural disadvantages of the attackers to a certain extent.

"Yunyang Guard."

Lord Yunyang's eyes revealed a hint of coldness, and he gave the order:

"Attack the city. Tie up those heinous criminals so our people can successfully attack the city walls."

The average strength of the members of the Evil Valley is higher than that of the Yunyang Guards, but unfortunately this is not a one-on-one fight. The Yunyang Guards have an advantage in numbers and have received professional training. They know how to form a formation to fight the enemy, which is something that the members of the Evil Valley who are used to fighting alone do not have.

"Dear guests."

Lord Yunyang spoke again and said:

"If you are interested, you can go and kill them. Yunyang is not rich, but with such a large territory, it is easy to satisfy your selfish desires. The bounty promised to the soldiers before is just a bunch of grapes that cannot be eaten. You are the ones who have the ability to kill the high-level generals of Yuxi City... and the city lord."

As soon as the words fell, someone stood up and said, shaking his head:

"I want two hundred thousand gold coins, one price."

"I only want one hundred thousand, plus the three beautiful concubines in the lord's mansion."

"The [Dragon Dance] in the treasury belongs to me, and I'll bring that kid's head back to you—"

Amidst the countless noisy voices, Lord Yunyang stared at Xiaxin City and replied in a cold voice:

"Okay. But a person only has one head. You... must be quick."

27. Come out to recruit people

Following an order from Lord Yunyang, several streaks of light streaked across the sky, and Yunyang's guest officials finally rushed to the top of the city wall.

The army of Yuxi City had no time to stop them. The Evil Valley wanted to meet them, but the Yunyang Guards had already rushed up the city wall. Qian Teng only had time to draw his sword before he was surrounded by the Yunyang Guards. Although he swung his sword perfectly, it was impossible for him to break through the Yunyang Guards and stop the guest officials from Yunyang.

He raised his voice and yelled to the back:

"These people's target is the city lord—"

He had to concentrate all his attention on dealing with the siege of Yunyang Guards.

In the past, he often heard the City Lord and Fang Shisan discuss that individual heroism would one day be replaced by collectivism, and he was a little bit skeptical. But now, seeing that several Yunyang Guards who were not as advanced as himself were relying on Yunyang's most powerful formation to pose a huge threat to him, although Qian Teng had a smile on his face, he had already raised his alert level to the highest level in his heart.

No wonder people said that when the Ten Hells of Hell joined forces to assassinate, the sky and the earth would change color. Lingwu's formation must be much stronger than Yunyang's. It's a pity that most of the members in the Evil Valley are loners, just like those high-minded guests in Yunyang. It's basically a pipe dream to expect them to get together to practice hard and cooperate with each other.

Seeing countless strong men rushing over here, Lid patted Uncle Cheng's shoulder affectionately and said:

"Lao Cheng, you can't just stand by and watch someone die, right?"

Uncle Cheng had a cold face, and his handsome appearance left no room for negotiation:

"I only agreed to come to protect the safety of the military."

Lid put his arm around Merlin's clone's shoulders and said:

"Mr. Mei, when you see these heroes rushing forward, don't you want to deal with them casually?"

Merlin smiled and said:

"If I use swords, I won't be able to stop so many people, and if I use magic, my identity will be exposed. My lady and I have been in the border areas for many years, and we are not enemies with most of the territories. Lord Mayor, please handle it yourself."

Reed nodded, turned and ran.

You must be kidding. If he really fights with so many eighth- and ninth-level guests on the city wall, his glorious deeds will spread all over the country tomorrow. By then, he might be called the "Pineapple Group" together with the Yunhai Baifeng in the south, and be at the top of the alert list of all the big territories.

The problem is that Bai Feng has a good father, and she doesn't need to develop at all, she just needs to wander around and wait for the team fight. Li De has worked hard to make two pieces of equipment after fighting in the wild for a long time, so he naturally doesn't want to be targeted before he can even warm up his hands.

He took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, jumped off the city wall, and then ran away.

This scene was quite familiar. This was how he dealt with various assassins in Lingyun City. He dragged the pursuers behind him until they were exhausted and collapsed, and then went home to have dinner with Alayya as if nothing had happened. The guest officials of Yunyang might not have seen it, but if Li Yi came and saw this scene, he would probably beat his chest and stamp his feet and call him an expert.

Lide fled frantically around Xiaxin City, with a bunch of eighth- and ninth-level guest officials chasing him. During the time, countless buildings were smashed by the flashing of swords and sabers, and the broken bricks and tiles covered the sky. Lide felt that he had muscle memory when he ran. His body, which had not been exercised for many days, became extremely light in an instant. The more people chased him, the faster he ran.

This scene seemed extremely thrilling to outsiders, and the city lord's head almost fell off several times, but Li De himself was just strolling in the garden. Unfortunately, Yunyang's guest officials were not as sneaky as the assassins hired by Li Yi. After discovering that Li De's escape speed was obviously faster, a group of people took the approach of encircling him, and Li De chose to lead them to a sparsely populated area.

Reed leaned against the wall deep in the alley, looking warily at the many guests from Yunyang who were walking towards him. He now looked like a delicate girl surrounded by strong men, and no one would come to rescue him even if he screamed at the top of his lungs.

Most of the guest officials from Yunyang also had malicious intentions:

"I'm sorry, Fourth Young Master."

"The Lord has ordered that we take the Fourth Young Master's head."

"Anyway, there are many people in this world who want to kill the Fourth Young Master, not just us guests. Rather than letting others take advantage of it, why not give us this opportunity? We will help take good care of the Fourth Young Master's family."

"With the death of the Fourth Young Master, the people of Yuxi City no longer have the idea of ​​resistance, and the Yunyang Territory does not need to kill people anymore. If the Fourth Young Master still cares about the people of Yunyang, he should stay there and not run away. The Fourth Young Master should be proud of the fact that such a large territory is peaceful with the death of the Fourth Young Master alone."

The guest officials from Yunyang said all kinds of things, but their bodies quietly blocked the area around Li De.

When they thought of the value of this head, the guests from Yunyang were very excited. Of course, they would not be so stupid as to kill each other before killing Lide. After all, they had just learned Lide's escape skills. This guy was slippery and slippery. If they had an internal fight at this time, he might really escape. But with so many people surrounding Lide, everyone felt very safe, so they were also on guard against the people around them.

In the tense atmosphere, the distance between the two sides shortened little by little.

Reed looked at them; some of them looked familiar.

Because of their superior strength, the guest officials and the Yunyang Guards were completely different. The Yunyang Lord could punish the Yunyang Guards as he would whip pigs and dogs, but he did not dare to be too rude to the guest officials. He basically followed their wishes. As long as they did not go too far, the Yunyang Lord would turn a blind eye in most cases.

The reason why Lide didn't like them was that many guests thought that he, the fourth young master, was not very popular. They stopped Alaiya and said a lot of dirty words. Some people relied on their strength to be stronger than Alaiya and wanted to make a move directly. Of course, Lide had buried all those people. He was not only experienced in escaping, but also good at burying people. Once, Alaiya said strangely that there were blood-colored flowers blooming in the yard. Lide smiled and pinched the flowers and put them in her hair. Alaiya wore them for a long time, until the flowers completely withered.

Even if this had not happened, Yunyang's guest officials had committed enough dirty deeds in Lingyun City.

Many maids who were already helpless were toyed with by them and then abandoned at will. Some who didn't want to get into trouble afterwards would often stab the terrified girls with a knife after pulling up their pants. Throwing them into the river, anyway, there were so many beautiful maids in the lord's mansion, it didn't matter if a few were lost. Even if the Yunyang lord knew about it, he wouldn't be angry. He almost laughed out loud in private that sacrificing a few servants could keep these masters.

During the years that Lid was in Yunyang, he had seen too many people die at the hands of Yunyang's guests. He took some revenge easily, but he was not a member of the Avengers, so it was impossible for him to think about how to kill Yunyang's guests every day to bring justice to his subordinates. Besides, if he really took action in Lingyun City, it would cause even greater unrest, and he might not even have the chance to come to Yuxi City.

So Reed was quite happy to meet these old faces today.

After all, these people were more capable of bullying the locals than he was, which made him, a dandy young man, look completely useless.

Many of the blood debts on the hands of these people have been forgotten by no one, but Lid believes that there must be many people who were tortured to death by them, who are eagerly waiting in hell for the day when they will meet again.

As the saying goes, it’s better to do it today than to wait for a day, so don’t make people wait any longer... let’s do it today.

When the distance was shortened to a certain extent, the guests from Yunyang rushed forward.

Various masters, various body techniques, and various magical weapons.

They are vast and powerful, converging into one place.

Lid smiled, patted his arm gently, and said only one sentence:

"Little ghost, come out and collect people."

28.Shenjiying

Thunder and lightning split the sky, and the gloomy air seemed to be torn apart.

On Lid's left arm, a complex magic circle alternated between light and dark. A small white figure holding a sign emerged in the soft white light. There were no cool special effects, nor any background sounds such as "I hate it so much". It just floated beside Lid, yawned, looked around, and said quickly:

"You called me out with so few people here. You, you are not interested in me, are you? [Σ(っ°Д°;)っ]"

"Wow, I'm just a little ghost. No matter how passionate your feelings for me are, I can't respond. [(；?д｀)ゞ]"

"But is this what humans are like? I took a look at the desires in their hearts and I feel that this is totally unacceptable. Not to mention you, they are far from that woman. But I'll take care of it for you. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep. If you are satisfied with this service, please remember to give Little Ghost a good review. Thank you, boss~[(〃'▽'〃)]"

After returning from the secret underwater realm, the little ghost woke up several times and had brief exchanges with Reed.

When Clenus's soul entered Reed's body, the aftermath caused her considerable trauma. However, she signed a living organ contract with Reed, so as long as Reed didn't die, she could slowly recover. She was still dormant when the war just ended, but in the blink of an eye, almost two months had passed, and the little ghost had almost recovered to the level when the two had just signed the contract.

For ordinary human masters, unless they have a very strong mind or are selfless, there is basically no possibility of escaping from the illusion. Although there were many guests from Yunyang, they stood there neatly at this moment, like rows of wooden stakes. When the cold wind blew, many people fell to the ground, looking like dead people.

Their life signs still exist. Perhaps in their dreams they are still continuing their journey of bullying men and women, holding Lid's head in one hand and countless treasures in the other, with countless beautiful women kneeling at their feet. The bright future of defeating the emperor and fighting against the sky seems to be waving to them.

It is their paradise and others' hell.

But reality is their hell and others' paradise.

Lide looked around and found that several Yunyang guests who came later were so frightened by the scene that they stayed where they were. They had no idea what was happening here, but they wisely chose to run away after sensing danger. Unfortunately, the air exploded, and the tentacles that emerged from Lide's back swung out like a long whip. Every Yunyang guest who saw this scene was dragged back. They did not have the good luck to live a life of drunkenness and dreams of death, and were easily dealt with by Lide.

The power of the little ghost is still limited. She is like the artificial intelligence in a computer. How much she can do depends on the computing power at the current stage. Every time she drags a person into the illusion, she needs to independently calculate a realistic virtual world. The reason why she didn't deal with all the Yunyang guests around her is obviously because these people in front of her are her current limit.

Lid put his hands behind his head and slapped any guest who made him unhappy.

The Yunyang guest official who was still alive and kicking just now was now like a sandbag, falling to the ground after being hit, completely unable to resist. Judging from what Lide and Lingwu Lord had experienced, it would not take long for these people to completely lose their vitality, and slowly reach the end of their lives in endless happiness.

The Yunyang Guards are naturally more than just these, and new people will be added soon. However, the first batch died inexplicably, and the people behind them have to weigh their own abilities. The loyalty of the guests in different territories is also different. For example, in Yunhai or Xiqin and Nanchu next door, let alone the guests around the lord, even most of the masters gathered around the princes are loyal, because the people they follow have a kind of personal charm.

As for Yunyang... forget it.

When the Lord of Yunyang and Li Yi planned to hold the Hongmen Banquet, they only dared to bring the Yunyang Guards, not the guest officials, because they were afraid that the guest officials of Yunyang would use this as a threat to harm them after knowing the scandal of the father and son killing each other. The host and the guest are usually like this, so it is not surprising that they will break into pieces when they fight.

Sometimes Reed felt that these self-proclaimed upright people were not as good as the Valley of Evil. At least those bad people knew they were bad.

Lid walked out of the alley and looked up at the top of the city wall. If nothing unexpected happened, the result there should be known soon.

The Yunyang Guards were holding onto the Evil Valley, and the pressure that had been relieved with great difficulty on the Wangdong Camp, the Black Armor Camp, and the Shaoyu Camp rose again. The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. The Yunyang army had just seen their own guest officers being dispatched, and they thought that the war had already turned to their side, and their morale was immediately boosted. Many gaps began to appear in the defense line of Xiaxin City, especially after a falling rock injured the commander of the Black Armor Camp, Luger, Xiaxin City became obviously less easy to defend.

People's hearts are unstable, which also affects the effectiveness of the city defense formation.

The improvement effect of the city defense array weakened, the decline of the defenders became more obvious, and the people who originally participated in the defense became more hesitant. This is the most feared snowball effect on the battlefield, and it is something that every commander must worry about.

The soldiers of Yunyang could sense the changes in the defenders, so they rushed forward even more fearlessly.

Looking down from the high city wall, they were like cockroaches swarming towards this side. Originally, in order to deal with the rolling rocks and falling trees from the defenders, the attackers would not really crowd together, but now no one cared about this. Fang Shisan and his men were about to flee, so if not now, when?

The tempting bounty is right in front of you, if you go too late you will lose everything!
