After receiving her orders, her personal soldiers ran out of the yard without hesitation and went to the town to carry out her instructions.
When the last personal soldier left the yard, Fang Jin let out a long sigh and turned to look at the four Mithril-level adventurers of her own race behind her.
It was Yu Fengchen, Jiang Dian, Inaba Yun and Yin Lu who had delivered the information about the Demon King's army's attack to this place not long ago.
And a tall figure leaning against the wall wearing a white hood, with his entire body hidden under a white cloak and his face covered, with only two brown rabbit ears visible.
"Mr. Mayor, it's great that you are willing to believe what we say."
“Your response to this crisis is much better than that of many mayors of other towns we have visited.”
The one who spoke was the captain of this team of adventurers, Yu Fengchen. He was holding the scabbard of an unsheathed sword in his hand, and his tone was filled with sincere gratitude and admiration.
After they drove into Xueying Town, they happened to meet the militia who were gathering urgently, so they followed the militia and came here.
Yu Fengchen was surprised to find that the mayor Fang Jin had not rested at this time, and hurriedly told Fang Jin the intelligence they had obtained about the Demon King's army's attack.
After witnessing Fang Jin's very calm response, Yu Fengchen and his teammates couldn't believe that in this remote Xueying Town, the mayor could remain so calm in the face of danger.
But as soon as Yu Fengchen finished speaking, Fang Jin's cold words made him stunned on the spot:
"It's just that after the Adventurer's Guild branch is gone, as the mayor, I have to grow up in order to protect the townspeople."
"We in Xueying Town no longer have much money to entrust you with, but I still thank you for coming to inform me."
"I still have to go and direct the townspeople to evacuate. Please do as you please after this."
After saying that, Fang Jin didn't even look at them again. The rabbit-eared mayor, who was wearing the same plain jacket as the ordinary residents of Xueying Town, turned around and prepared to walk out of the yard.
"Ah... Did she know that the Demon King's army was coming?"
While Yu Fengchen was still in a daze, Jiang Dian was already confused.
He blurted out this sentence.
Jiang Dian’s words immediately expressed the thoughts of Yu Fengchen and the other two.
Yes, no wonder they always felt so uncomfortable staying here.
It felt like even without them, Fang Jin had already known that the Demon King's army was about to attack.
After all, which mayor would have nothing better to do than to urgently gather his personal soldiers at five in the morning?
What's more, after hearing the information they brought, Fang Jin's expression never changed from beginning to end except for a little surprise at the beginning.
However, before Yu Fengchen could say anything, Fang Jin, who had taken two steps, suddenly stopped.
The black-haired mayor with rabbit ears turned around and looked at them coldly:
"Yes, I did know that the Demon King's army was about to attack, but your appearance brought me some surprises."
"I don't think there will be any adventurers passing by our remote Xueying Town at this time. Tell me, who commissioned you and what is your purpose in coming to Xueying Town?"
"Yes, I just heard the sound of a car. Are you sent by Tianou Group?"
Fang Jin said this in a bad tone, slowly pulling out the sword from his waist, his eyes already showing a hint of coldness.
Faced with the sudden hostility from the other party, Yu Fengchen and others suddenly held their breath.
They had never expected that the mayor would be so perceptive and began to question them about the purpose of their visit.
Yu Fengchen only realized at this time that it was indeed unreasonable for them to appear in Xueying Town at this time.
Especially on the street outside the yard, there were cars parked that were lent to them by Tianou Group.
It is obvious that there is some conflict between Fang Jin and Tianou Group.
The mayor of Xueying Town thought they were adventurers sent by the Tianou Group to come to Xueying Town to carry out some ulterior motives.
Chapter 703 Do you think we are sirens? (3000 words)
Chapter 702 Do you think we are sirens? (3000 words)
But what frightened Yu Fengchen the most was not simply the hostility Fang Jin showed towards them.
You have to know that they are Mithril-level adventurers who have experienced countless life-and-death crises at sea and outside the ancient island core ruins.
As members of the Rabbit-Eared Tribe, they have an instinctive sense of dangerous enemies.
But now, they actually felt a strong sense of threat from the mayor of Xueying Town who drew his sword.
This means that Fang Jin's fighting ability far exceeds that of any of them, and he may even be able to fight one against four without any problem.
Yu Fengchen's expression kept changing. Facing the aggressive Fang Jin, as the captain, he actually took a half step back for a moment.
Not to mention that the other party is the head of a town.
Even in the circle of adventurers where strength is paramount, Fang Jin's aura is already on par with those top-level steel-level team members.
What kind of person is the mayor of Xueying Town? With such strength, why doesn’t he go to explore the ancient ruins of the island core, but is content to stay in such a remote town?
"Mayor Fang, please calm down. We were indeed commissioned by the Tianou Group in Awajin City to come to Xueying Town to investigate whether there are any traces of the Demon King's army. We absolutely do not have any other intentions!"
Just when Yu Fengchen was in a dilemma, Inaba Yun behind him came forward and took out a pendant representing the Inaba family from her jacket.
Inaba Yun's expression was complicated, and her tone was filled with deep helplessness and sincerity.
In fact, she doesn't like to show her identity to outsiders.
But it was obvious that in this urgent situation, she could only resolve the other party's hostility by showing her identity as the island owner's family.
After hearing Ina Yeyun's sincere explanation, Fang Jin's expression softened a lot, and he put the sharp blade back into its sheath with a hand.
"Girl from the Inaba family, if you are not the island owner at your age... are you Inaba Yun?"
To everyone's surprise, Fang Jin actually called out Inaba Yun's name.
Even though she was wearing a simple coat, the bunny-eared mayor could not hide her mature appearance and sexy figure. A look flashed in her eyes as if she was recalling the past:
"I was surprised that you chose to embark on this dangerous path of adventure."
"Mayor Fang, you..."
Daoye Yun also didn't expect Fang Jin to know her, but before she could ask, Fang Jin had already returned to his previous cold expression and ordered her to leave:
"You just said that the Tianou Group commissioned you to investigate the whereabouts of the Demon King's Army. Now you can go back and collect your rewards. Xueying Town does not need you to worry about it."
Seeing that Fang Jin no longer had any intention of talking to them, Yu Fengchen gritted his teeth.
Well, their mission has been completed and the message has been delivered. No matter what happens in Xueying Town next, it has nothing to do with them.
"Okay, in that case, Mayor Fang, we will not accompany you any longer."
Just as Yu Fengchen finished saying this and was about to return to Sujin City with his companions.
Suddenly, a countdown sound from a woman with a soft smile sounded from behind them:
"Ten...nine...eight..."
The countdown sound attracted the attention of Fang Jin, Yu Fengchen and three other team members.
force.
It was not until this time that Yu Fengchen realized that there was a stranger in the yard.
Jiang Dian and Yin Lu were so frightened that they took their weapons and pointed them at the rabbit-eared woman who was leaning against the wall of the house inside the yard, with her whole body hidden under a white hooded cloak.
If the other party had not made a sound, they would not have noticed that this person was still in the yard.
What a terrifying ability to conceal one's breath is this?
But then, Fang Jin seemed to have guessed something, and shouted with excitement:
"Gods! Could it be that the gods are willing to help us?"
God?
Yu Fengchen and the four others' pupils shrank sharply, and even their hearts stopped for half a beat.
Could this rabbit-eared woman with a strong ability to conceal her breath be the god of Xueying Town mentioned in the rumors that Yin Lu collected in the slums of Sujin City?
Moreover, Fang Jin was talking about the “gods”. Could it be that there is more than one god?
But before they could react to this extremely shocking situation, the countdown from the mysterious rabbit-eared woman's mouth had come to an end.
"Three...two...one."
"clatter."
The "God" didn't say much, just raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The next second, as if in response to the snap of fingers from "God", rumbling thunder suddenly sounded in the night sky which was cloudless.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."
One after another, low thunder came from the direction of the ocean, like the earth trembling during an earthquake, and it seemed as if the entire space was shaking.
Such a commotion even made the townspeople in Xueying Town who were originally fleeing stop in shock and turn to look at the deep ocean.
But unfortunately, they could only see the faint flickering orange-yellow flames in the distance on the sea in the night.
It was as if the gods in the highest heaven had mobilized a power that did not belong to this world to judge and punish the oncoming disaster.
"What on earth is that sound? Is it the sound of a warship's guns? How is that possible?"
Cold sweat had soaked Yu Fengchen's clothes, and the sound of thunder was still echoing in his ears.
The strange situation in Xueying Town has caused him, who considers himself a veteran adventurer, to completely lose his ability to judge.
He and Inaba Yun had seen the Tianou Group's fleet training, and the sound was almost exactly the same as the main guns firing on those iron-frame warships.
Jiang Dian's face was pale, and her whole body was trembling as she shouted, which made Yu Fengchen gasp:
"Siren? This sound is the same as a siren's attack!"
That's right!
Sirens!
Yu Fengchen suddenly recalled the terrifying sound of artillery fire from the Sirens attacking monsters that they had observed from afar when they were guarding at sea two years ago.
At that time, the humanoid Siren used thunder-like artillery fire to blow a terrifying large sea monster to pieces with one strike!
"Hoohoo~ As expected, the commander has come in person. Are Lady Kamiko and Senior Mikasa coming as well?"
"Hmm, I see...Okay, Canglong, I get it~"
Just as Yu Fengchen and the other three were wondering what had happened on the sea with panic on their faces, this "god" who seemed to be talking to someone,
With a calm smile.
After saying this, the masked "god" slowly walked over from the wall, looked at Fang Jin with his brown eyes, and said calmly:
"Mayor Fang, the Demon King's army will no longer come to Xueying Town. You can arrange for the townspeople to return."
"Thank you so much, gods. I don't know how many times I have thanked you. I really don't know how to repay you..."
Upon hearing that the crisis of the Demon King's army had been resolved, Fang Jin didn't care whether it was true or not. In front of the shocked gazes of Yu Fengchen and others, he knelt on the ground with great piety to the masked "god".
"Hey, we've told you many times, Mayor Fang, please stop calling us gods."
"But our leader, whom we told you about before, has now returned. He should come to visit you soon, hehe~"
The god's lithe figure passed by the four people, walked in front of Fang Jin, bent down and helped the mayor of Xueying Town up.
At the same time, she took off her hood and the veil that covered her face, revealing her beautiful long brown hair and a stunningly beautiful young face.
If Lin Lan were here, he would definitely recognize who this gentle rabbit-eared ship girl is at a glance.
The second ship of the Tone-class heavy cruiser of the Edo period, and the Edo period's strongest intelligence officer, Chikuma.
"Lord God, you are so polite. To us in Xueying Town, you and your friends are the living gods in our eyes."
"I will pay homage to the leader of the gods with the highest etiquette, please rest assured."
Facing the gentle Chikuma, Fang Jin was still stubborn and unwilling to change the way he addressed her, his tone was filled with the utmost piety and respect.
Compared with when he faced his personal soldiers or Yu Fengchen and others just now, Fang Jin's attitude was completely different.
In response to this, Chikuma just smiled helplessly and didn't try to dissuade him any further.
At the beginning, the mayor of Xueying Town treated them with the same resistance as he did to the four adventurers.
However, later on, as they dealt with the monsters that attacked Xueying Town several times, Shiranui used the Rubik's Cube technology to heal Fang Jin's old injuries.
There were many other things that made the mayor sincerely recognize them.
