Marcos and Li Xiu looked at each other and smiled. They knew that if they wanted to be on Wang Tong's side, they would have to change their mindset. Wang Tong's power was too much for them to handle, not to mention the fact that Wang Tong's strength was unpredictable. If they wanted to be on Wang Tong's side, they would have to make up their minds. Otherwise, they would have to leave with the army and continue to be the king of their own territory.
Marcos was a smart man, and he knew that there was only one way to go about it.
Just like this incident, other people could do good deeds without leaving their names behind, but the City Lord had to leave his name behind when doing good deeds. Since he had offended the Egyptian City, he had to get something in return.
At the very least, it was important to keep the city of Maersa united.
Marcos knew that Wang Tong was a smart man, and he knew that Wang Tong was a smart man as well. Marcos knew that Wang Tong had given him a lot of hints, and this was his answer.
A few minutes later, a soldier arrived with a message.
"Commander Marcos, the mayor wants to see you." It was Duo Lun.
Marcos smiled and said, "I'll be there right away."
"Oh, if you don't mind, Mr. Li Xiu, you can come with us."
"Me?" Li Xiu pointed at himself. It seemed that in the eyes of City Lord Wang Da, he was just a lackey military officer who couldn't be seen in public.
"Yes." Duo Lun answered with a serious face.
Wang Tong's personality was different from Tan Bu's. Tan Bu was more suited for active work, while Wang Tong preferred to be meticulous and unobtrusive. Yin Tianzong was the deputy mayor, and Lun Duo was the one who was responsible for the mayor's safety. Although Wang Tong felt that he didn't need anyone's protection, he still had to abide by the mayor's rules.
Everyone in Maersa knew that Duo Lun was Wang Tong's right-hand man. Li Xiu's heart skipped a beat as he wondered if Wang Tong was interested in him.
Of course, this was not the way to be taken advantage of. The son of the dignified city lord of Egypt had been kidnapped just like that. It was simply inconceivable. As long as it was an independent city, the rules were actually very clear. There was not much difference from before the war. Only in war-torn areas without a dominant city would such an unruly thing happen.
Of course, the city lord of Egypt was not a fool. He would not send an army to suppress them like what his son had said. Suppress who? Putting aside the fact that it was his son who broke the contract first, now was the time for unity. It was up to him what he wanted to do behind the scenes, but to deploy the army at the slightest provocation was child's play. The mayor was not stupid, but he had to look at the master before beating a dog, let alone his own son. This little guy from Maersa City was too unruly.
Actually, there was no need to send a large army. This kind of small thing often happened. It was not a competition of military strength, but another competition of strength.
"Boss, the people from Egypt City have arrived."
"Oh? Did you bring it? "Wang Tong smiled.
Ross shook his head. "They don't come with good intentions. I heard that there's a Legendary Realm guy in charge. It seems like they're here to cause trouble."
Ross's face was twisted with anger. He had been fearless ever since he had returned from the Dreamrealm with Wang Tong, but now he was being threatened by someone. What a joke.
"Hehe, very good. Make some arrangements. Since the guests have arrived, we should at least show our appreciation."
"Yes, Boss!" Ross tiptoed his buttocks and ran away. These guys had a different personality from Emir Sarkos. They just wanted to see the world in chaos. Since their strength had improved greatly, they had a good fight. However, they were just bugs. It was not just the Martians. Humans needed to be recognized through battle.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Maersa, a new city, was nothing more than a ruin. It was not even a big city, so it was not worth mentioning. How dare this motley crew provoke the city of Egypt? They must have a death wish.
A group of about a dozen people marched into the city hall. "Who is the mayor? Come out!"
"Sir, please wait for a moment. Our mayor will be here soon." The one who spoke was Tang Duo from the Court of the Templar. He had also come from the Dreamrealm, but the Court of the Templar was very strict.
The group of people didn't take Tang Ze seriously at all. "Get out of my way! Talk to me!"
Tang Duo was not angry. He still smiled and invited them in. The people in Egypt were all arrogant, but they would not slap someone who was smiling at them. They stood in the middle and waited. They did not even give face to the Heavenly Emperor.
Emir rushed over and said, "Everyone, please take a seat. The mayor will be here soon."
"Who do you think you are?" The leader of the group said disdainfully. His sarcasm was undisguised. Even Captain Emile, who had dominated Maersa for many years, had never been scolded like this before.
"My name is Emir, and I am in charge of the daily affairs of Maersa City." Emir said calmly. The smile on his face gradually faded, but he didn't lose his temper.
"Emir from the Blizzard Squad?"
"Hehe, that's me." Emir's Blizzard Squad had been the most powerful force in Maersa for many years. He was a level twenty fighter, and his name was on the list of the most powerful fighters in Maersa City.
"I'm General Levinsky of the City Guards of Egypt. I heard that your governor detained our young governor and even beat him up. Commander Emile, is this how you treat your guests in Maersa?" The man's expression softened a little.
Levinsky knew that Aamir was a wild man, so he was a little more reserved. However, he didn't understand why a powerful man like Aamir would submit to a kid like Wang Tong. Five years ago, Wang Tong was indeed powerful, but that was five years ago. Wang Tong wasn't even an Einherjar, and now, even legendary warriors were no longer rare. Was it really necessary for Aamir to submit to Wang Tong because of his worthless title?
It seemed like Emir didn't live up to his name.
"Captain Emir, what is your current position in Maersa City?" Lewinsky calmed down when he saw Emile. In his opinion, Emile was someone who could talk. Moreover, Emile was the one who pulled the strings for this deal. When the Castellan came, he also told him to see if he could take the opportunity to pull Emile over.
"I'm in charge of some miscellaneous matters, and I'll be the City Lord's assistant." Emile said lightly. If a tiger doesn't show its might, it'll think I'm a sick cat.
"Oh my god, Captain Emir, this is such a waste of your talent. Wang Tong is so stupid. Let's welcome Captain Emir and your buddies!"
Levinsky's purpose was clear; he wanted to bring the young master back safely, and at the same time, he wanted to make some money and teach Maersa City a lesson.
"You think too highly of me, Brother Levinsky. I am already satisfied with my current job." Emir's face was still cold. He was worried about Wang Tong's safety, but he had never been afraid of a coward like Wang Tong.
The people of Egypt took their seats impatiently. One of them, who was sitting in the middle, didn't say a word.
Just as the people of Egypt City were about to go berserk, Wang Tong arrived. Everyone in Egypt City stood up and greeted Wang Tong. Levinsky stepped forward and said, "Mayor Wang Tong, where is our young master?"
"Haha, you guys are fast. Did you bring our supplies?"
"What resources? Is there something wrong with your brain? Beating up our Young City Lord is a huge matter, and you still dare to ask about resources?"
Levinsky's face turned red as he realized that Wang Tong didn't know what kind of trouble he had gotten himself into.
Wang Tong shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's only right that you pay your debts. We have already paid you the money, and you have delayed the delivery for a long time. I don't want to make things difficult for you. How about another ten percent? We will pay for your son's food and drinks for the next few days."
"Haha, my lord, you are so generous." Li Xiu, who was sitting beside Wang Tong, started to flatter him. His flattery was enough to infuriate Wang Tong.
They were here to cause trouble. Since the other party had already ignited the flames, everyone's GN Force was unleashed. Most of them were at Level 17 or 18. Of course, there were still four of them who did not move, which meant that they were stronger than the rest.
Li Xiu had become one of Wang Tong's core members ever since he became friends with Wang Tong. Wang Tong knew that Li Xiu was a smart man who could make up for everyone's shortcomings.
"Wang Tong, hand over every single hair of our young lord, or else …."
"Alright, alright, enough with the pleasantries. Since we can't come to an agreement, we'll settle it by force. You guys make the rules, and we'll follow your lead." Wang Tong waved his hand, as if he didn't want to listen to the other party's opening remarks.
"You … You have guts. Let's win two out of three matches!"
"Mr. Levinsky, you are our guest. How can we bully our guests? How about this, if you can win one match?" Wang Tong said with a smile.
"You … Wang Tong, you have guts!" Levinsky said coldly. He didn't expect Wang Tong to be so arrogant.
The workers around Maersa heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they were worried.
"My lord, Maersa is in the process of rebuilding. To avoid further damage, I suggest we leave." Li Xiu said respectfully.
"Let's go." Wang Tong nodded, and Levinsky and the rest of the team walked out of the room with dark faces. Since they had already made their stand, they would have to fight with their real strength.
Everyone in Maersa became excited when they heard that a fight was about to break out, especially since it was for the sake of a citizen. Everyone swarmed out of Maersa like a swarm of bees. Since Wang Tong's popularity had skyrocketed, no one dared to cause a scene. Maersa was in a state of chaos.
"Cromwell, come out and have a taste of my strength. There are many masters in Maersa City. You have to give it your all!" Lewinsky said gloomily, obviously hinting to his men to be ruthless.
"Yes, my lord!"
Cromwell walked up. He was two meters tall and had a well-proportioned body. His muscles were jiggling, and he had a calm expression on his face. He was a warrior who had been through hundreds of battles. His cold gaze swept across the area as he waited for his opponent.
The Aegyptus' side was well-disciplined, but the Maersa side was …
"My lord, please give me a chance!"
"City Lord, give me a chance!" The market was as lively as ever.
