Chapter 228: Lie Cang(1/2)
In just less than an hour, the city gates were broken by the grassland cavalry. The defenders in the city were completely unable to resist effectively, and at most they would just spread the news of foreign invasion to the rear.
"Is this the town of the Central Plains?" The red-haired young man led the grassland cavalry rode a unicorn horse and slowly walked into the city, curiously looking at the street buildings that were very different from the grassland tribes.
The Canglan Domain is divided into five major domains, but the area of each area is not equal. The proportion of the Eastern Domain Continent accounts for much more than other domains, and is more like the center of the world. For the grassland people in the Northern Domain, the locations of the Eastern Domain Continent that borders it can be called the "Central Plains".
"How was the suppression in the city?"
"The defenders have all killed."
"Very good!" The red-haired young man looked at the scattered street scene in the city, and a hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I inform you to arrest the young women and children who are less than the horse's belly and take good care of them. All the others will be killed! Only before today's sunset, everyone is allowed to indulge in pleasure, but scramble is prohibited! Violators will be punished severely!"
"yes!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The grassland cavalry cheered loudly when they heard this, and then rushed towards the residents of the city like hungry wolves.
"Aren't you going?" asked the red-haired young man looking at the guards around him.
"Your Highness's safety is the most important thing!"
The red-haired young man smiled and said, "Okay, after repairing tonight, you can go to the prisoners to choose goods that you like and relax."
Ignoring the indulgence of my subordinates, the red-haired young man urged his mount and came to the lord's mansion in Blue Bird City with his personal guards.
Unceremoniously, he walked into the main house and sat on a high-backed wooden chair with sandalwood and soft animal skin. The red-haired young man felt the comfortable touch with satisfaction, reached out to knock on the desk table, and looked curiously at the lord of the Blue Bird City who was kneeling on the ground by the guards in front of the table.
"Are you the lord of this city?" After looking at the prey, the red-haired young man asked, "Why don't you look so strong? You're not as good as the guards on the previous city gate."
"Are you from the Northern Region Grassland Tribe?" asked the Lord of Bluebird City in a hatred, his clothes were a little broken, and there were a few traces of blood on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he was beaten some times when he resisted before.
The red-haired young man sneered: "I'm asking you now, right?"
The eyes of one of the two guards who held the city lord were also cold. Suddenly, he raised his fist and hit the city lord hard on the back, making his eyes thrust, and he opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of blood, which made the floor look eye-catching.
"Puff cough cough..."
"I thought that as the highest-ranking person in this city, I should have the strongest strength, but the result is really disappointing."
The Lord of Bluebird City asked with a painful expression: "Cough cough... I remember, don't you grassland people pay the most attention to the oath of witnessing the sky? Our country and you should have signed a contract for business and agreed not to violate each other. Why are you now..."
"Ha?" the red-haired young man thought for a moment, then sneered: "Is there any? I don't remember having promised that kind of thing!"
"How could it be!" The Lord of the Blue Bird City Glazed in anger: "The book of contract between the Qing clan leader and my king is clearly written!"
"Ah, you said that?" The red-haired young man suddenly realized, and then smiled disdainfully: "What does that have to do with us? Who told you that we are from the Qing tribe?"
“What…what?”
The red-haired young man pointed to his red hair: "Remember, the one who captured this city and soon swept across the eastern region is the warriors from the grassland led by the great priest, the king of the blood wolf, the king of the contemporary great prairie! It is your honor to be allowed to join the rule of the noble people of the heaven... Although, you no longer have the chance to see the sun tomorrow morning, it seems meaningless to remember it or not."
"The Lord of the Grassland...? Lie clan?" The Lord of the Bluebird City eyes shrank slightly, as if he had recalled something: "So, has the Northern Region grassland really been unified?! And that red hair, are you... the young leader of the Lie clan in the rumor, Lie Cang?"
"Oh? Has my name been passed here?" The red-haired young man smiled happily and waved his hand: "I heard the pleasant news. Forget it, let's talk about the serious business. You are the city lord and the highest-ranking ruler of this city. You should know some useful information, such as the military defense deployment of your country? Let's listen, if it is valuable, you can let you live a life."
The Lord of Blue Bird City cursed fiercely: "Don't think about it! How could I compromise with you barbarians!"
"Oh, then you are useless, kill me. By the way, because of your attitude, your families who are still in the city will not have a good end. Although they are hidden, they are probably found by my subordinates now."
"you--"
The guards ignored the shouts of the Bluebird City Lord whose face suddenly changed. After Lie Cang finished speaking, he directly reached out and grabbed the Bluebird City Lord's head, twisted his strength and rubbed his neck into an exaggerated angle that a living person could not do.
"The Central Plains is indeed different from the grassland. Such a weak person can become the lord of a city. It's ridiculous." Lie Cang grabbed a fruit on the table and threw it into his mouth and chewed it. "The defenders are the same. After all, it is a border city of a country. This defensive power is too weak. I am looking forward to the first battle to enter the Central Plains."
"Your Highness, with the tens of thousands of elite warriors who gathered on our grassland, to deal with this mere small city, this result is natural."
"That's why I'm bored." Lie Cang whispered disappointed: "There are no more peers in the grassland who can play well with me. I heard that there are two young geniuses in the Central Plains who are about the same age as me. They are very strong. If you have the chance, you must compete in person."
"How long will it take for the follow-up troops to arrive?"
"It should be able to arrive before dark."
"Then wait until they arrive, hand over the spoils before continuing to march. Huha..." Lie Cang yawned: "I'm going to rest, you can do whatever you want."
"Do you need a maid who arranges the night?"
"No."
"Then, please let me know." The guards all bowed and left the room to wait at the door.
Lie Cang took off a bag of animal skin on his waist, pulled out a recliner like a magic trick inside, covered it with soft skin, and lay on it. While closing his eyes, he muttered softly: "It's really much more convenient to have this thing called 'Summer Bag'. Sure enough, there are too many good things in the Central Plains that we don't have on our grassland. This time we have to grab it to your heart's content."
But before he could fall asleep, a few minutes later, a faint noise came into Lie Cang's ears.
If it was just a normal noisy, it would be fine, but Lie Cang would ignore it directly. There are fighting everywhere in the city now, so it would be strange if it would be quiet.
But it would be unusual if it was accompanied by the screams of a large number of grassland soldiers, because in theory, the soldiers would not encounter any need for many people to scream.
In particular, the noise from the soldiers coming had lasted for more than a minute and had not stopped, which shows that the situation cannot be solved in a short period of time.
"What are you doing!" Lie Cang, who was in a state of unrest, stood up and walked out of the house to go outside to see the situation.
"What happened? It's so noisy!"
"This..." The guard at the door replied with a shameful expression: "Sorry, Your Highness, your subordinates are incompetent. There is a shop in the city that is resisting our soldiers. The other party's methods are a bit strange. Ordinary soldiers are unable to solve the problem. So... Please give us some more time, the elite warriors have passed."
The so-called elite warriors refer to the soldiers in the grassland cavalry army with good cultivation, most of whom have the strength of the seventh level or above in the acquired level.
"I believe it will be solved soon--" the personal guard said halfway...
"Roar--"
"Bastard, what is this?"
"Damn, this kind of monster...ah--!"
"Is that what you said will be solved soon?"
Lie Cang raised his eyebrows, looked at the embarrassing expression of Qin Wei, and suddenly smiled.
"It seems quite interesting, I'll go and see it myself."
...
As the sun sets, the city of Bluebird City is full of scenes of soldiers on the grassland committing violence against the residents in the city. Corpse and blood are everywhere, and cries with women and children are heard one after another, making people fully realize how vicious it is when the army loses its constraints and turns into a mob.
But on one street in the city, there is a different scene than other places.
A group of grassland soldiers with frightened expressions surrounded a two-story shop with scimitar weapons in their hands, covering an area of 60 to 70 square meters. Everyone looked like they wanted to get close but were timid.
This is a shop that looks like it is not much different from a restaurant and a teahouse. The plaque of the shop is quite special. The black background is a font made of a unique material that looks like crystal, and the bright orange-gold light shines in the sunset.
The three common fonts of the Canglan Domain written on the plaque fully illustrate why this place is different from other places in the city and why the soldiers are flinched.
Buzzing-
A large group of blood-red alien bees were circling and flying in front of the shop's door. The shocking blood-red color in the originally crystal-colored insect body indicated that these alien bees had just had a full meal of blood.
More than a dozen white skeleton frames on the ground, which were still wearing armor of grassland soldiers, but could not even see a trace of flesh and blood, and the fearful faces of the soldiers surrounding here who collectively retreated ten meters away and dared not get closer, fully telling the horror of these blood-colored hornets.
Therefore, the grassland soldiers who dared to invade ten meters around this shop have all been gnawed by the blood-colored alien bees, sucked the blood, and become one of the bones on the ground.
In the gate of Hongyulou, the store manager quickly put the last bottle of elixir on the shelf into the Sumeru bag, then tied the bag tightly into a metal box, then looked up at the soldiers outside the store, and sighed.
"I really didn't expect that this country's border city would be broken so quickly."
"Time is urgent, please pack up as soon as possible." A middle-aged man in black and cold-faced face urged coldly next to him.
"I know, just wait for the backstage... Oh, it seems that it's good."
At this time, the six waiters all walked out of the back door of the front hall with a metal box similar to the foot of the shopkeeper behind their back.
"Shop manager, the backend and warehouse have been all stored."
"I've confirmed that there is no omission?"
"Let the intelligent brain confirm it."
"Okay." The store manager nodded and said, "Let's go. I'll bother you." The latter sentence was said to the middle-aged man in black and cold face.
"Um."
As a member of the Hongyulou Imperial Guard, the middle-aged man's emotional fluctuations were extremely subtle. At this time, he just nodded slightly and then walked out the gate first, and the other seven people followed immediately.
Although they were carrying a heavy metal box on their backs, all of them, including the store manager who was close to fifty years old, did not show any difficulty, and they obviously had some cultivation.
"Someone is out!" The grassland soldiers started to stir.
"Get out of the way, let's take them!"
At this time, two elite grassland warriors with innate realm power arrived here and flew directly from the soldiers' heads to the black-clothed guard who walked out of the store.
Both warriors stretched out their bodies to protect their true qi masks, and looked at the red jade blood bees in the sky. One of them condensed their true qi and bent their blades and slashed towards the black-clothed guards. The other one's true qi surged out into a large piece of red flames and rolled towards the red jade blood bees.
"Two Qihai Realms? Get out!"
The black-clothed guard who walked outside the store shouted angrily, and a crystal-colored armor appeared on his body and ignored its attack. He waved his hands and two crystal-colored blades that were as solid as substance slashed over.
Bang! "Puuu..."
The blood spilled, and the black-clothed guard did not move for a moment. The two men's body-protecting true energy was broken, and the blood in their mouths flew backwards.
This scene made the prairie soldiers who were originally excited almost stunned.
To be continued...
