Zhang Lisheng's words were baffling, but the malice in his words had been vividly displayed.
Most of the rich merchants in the surroundings had blank expressions on their faces, but there were also some smart people who realized that the situation might not be good. They couldn't help but quietly take a few steps back.
Of course, there were those who avoided evil, and there were those who stood up for it.
In the distance, a middle-aged man dressed as a paladin, who was wearing a heavy red armor that seemed to be made of hollow wood, with two slightly curled mustaches on his handsome and delicate face, suddenly leaped to stand beside the young man and said gently, "Mr. Scholar from a foreign continent, it seems that you're not unfamiliar with the invaders who raided the Sea Haines City tonight, right?"
As soon as his voice faded away, Yaj, who was inadvertently looking up at the ceiling of the Furoh Hall, absent-mindedly saw a lion-headed monster riding a land dragon that was taller than two people brandishing a giant sword to cut a city defense soldier in half from the waist in the projection. A ferocious and carefree smile appeared on his face in the splashing blood. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
"The ones attacking the Sea Haines City are Hellfire tribesmen who are wearing improved god-bestowed shells and riding unknown 'war partners'! This is not the invasion of the mysterious army but … It's the 'barbarian disaster'!" The female merchant blurted out loudly.
A few seconds later, a tycoon who had also sailed in the Nutao Sea before broke the silence and retorted in confusion, "Miss Yaj, that does indeed look like a Hellfire tribesman wearing a God-bestowed body, but those ogres can't build a steel fleet, an armed kayak that can fly in the sky, or a cannon that can destroy the majestic city walls of the mainland …"
"What if someone imparts this knowledge to them?" Yaj, who felt that her mind had never been so clear before, interrupted the doubt. Staring at Zhang Lisheng with eyes that were about to spit out flames, she said word by word in a hoarse voice, "What if there's a person whose wisdom and knowledge are so profound that we can't even imagine it?
At the same time, there's a person who's insane to the point of imparting extraordinary knowledge to those Hellfire people for the sake of power and personal gain … "
The young man's legendary experience and great influence in the Hellfire tribe were no longer a secret in the Sea Haines City. When the female merchant's words left her mouth, the crowd gradually dispersed amidst the exclamations of realization. Only the mustached middle-aged man and the expressionless Yaj were left by Zhang Lisheng's side.
"Is this lady's bizarre guess correct, Mr. Scholar from another continent?" The middle-aged man asked in a deep voice as he gently drew an inverted 'V' in front of his chest with his right hand that was like a sharp mountain range. His palm was faintly glowing with a scorching crimson light.
At the same time, someone summoned the sergeants guarding the Furoh Hall. More than a dozen heavily armored warriors with heavy swords in their hands walked out of the crowd under the leadership of a red-eyed city defense officer and surrounded the youth group.
"Sir, you're now suspected of colluding with the enemy. Raise your hands in front of your chest and stretch them out. Otherwise, the Sea Haines City's defense army has the right to kill you in such an emergency!" The lean and capable city defense officer also warned Zhang Lisheng.
"Raise my hands? Of course I can …" Zhang Lisheng looked around and frowned. Then, a faint smile crept upon his face as he slowly raised both of his hands. As he raised his arms, the base of the entire Sea Haines City began to shake slowly. Millions of tons of compacted soil combined with the underground water impacted the stone pavement and cracked it, instantly turning the city into a swamp.
Then, when the young man straightened his fingers, the wet mud in the city seemed to have a life of its own as it gathered by the city wall and transformed into two giant palms that abruptly inserted into the magic formation that was still shining brilliantly in the muddy water.
"It's obvious that they've already been defeated, but they're still struggling on their deathbed. How disgusting! But this gives me a chance to tear my prey apart with my own hands …" Zhang Lisheng looked up at the giant palms made of muddy water inserted deep into the ground and muttered to himself. With both hands stretched out in front of his chest, he slowly made the final tearing action.
In an instant, the giant palms on the city wall began to slowly tear the crust with a mighty force that ordinary people could not imagine. Under the desperate gaze of millions of mainlanders, it took thousands of lives and split half of the city into two.
The magic formation extinguished in an instant. Then, a big metal bird suddenly flew out of the ruins of a collapsed tower on the edge of the city. Before it could even rise into the air, it was already turned into ashes by the Wizard Li's biological weapons. Just like this, after losing its last reliance on the magic formation and alchemy tower, the Sea Haines City had already become a howling lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of the Wizard Li army.
At this moment, most of the city defense soldiers surrounding Zhang Lisheng had already fallen to the ground in horror. It was apparent that the almost miraculous power of the enemy had already destroyed the will of these elite soldiers.
"What else do you need me to do, Mr. City Defense Officer?" Zhang Lisheng stretched out his arms and looked down at the Sea Haines City officer under his feet as he asked in a mocking tone. However, all he got in return was a shudder.
The young man shrugged in satisfaction and turned his gaze to the mustached middle-aged man not far away. "What about you, sir? If I answer yes, do you have anything else to ask?"
"Sir, the Grand Knight of the Fran Palace, Johnson Dawton, pays his respect to you." The middle-aged man clenched his left fist in front of his chest and bowed deeply. "I'm ordered by the Sun King to escort Prince Edo and Princess Seliya to travel around the Kattaman City State. If you can let the two Royal Highnesses leave safely, you'll receive the gratitude of the Fran King.
If you want to take us captive, please give us the courtesy suitable for the identity of the prince and the princess. "
"You look like you're very powerful. Don't you plan to resist?" Zhang Lisheng was slightly stunned and asked with interest.
"An ant may have the courage to resist a terrain dragon, but a smart 'hound' will never do so, especially when it's protecting its master," the middle-aged man said as his body trembled. At once, the armor on his body cracked into a few pieces and fell into the muddy water with a muffled 'bam bam …' sound.
"Listening to the sound of it falling, your armor is as heavy as your wisdom." The young man pondered and nodded. "It's impossible for me to let His Highness Edo and Princess Seliya go, but I'll give them the courtesy they deserve."
"Thank you for your humanity, Sir!" Johnson said gratefully with relief. The instant his words left his mouth, the only warrior who was still standing in the city defense army suddenly took a step forward silently. Wielding his heavy sword with all his might, he slashed it horizontally towards Zhang Lisheng.
This sudden attack caused the thousands of people in the Furoh Hall to be surprised at first, followed by hope. Unfortunately, when the sword was less than an inch away from the young man's neck, it was suddenly struck away by a spear that flew over like lightning.
Immediately after, a black shadow swayed, and a five to six meter tall earth dragon with blood flowing out of its wrinkled skin leaped down from the sky. It opened its bloody mouth and bit the city defense soldier. Ignoring the soldier's screams, it began to devour him alive.
"Great God, your glory has shone on every corner of this city!" At the same time when his' partner 'was eating, the ferocious native chief warrior with four feathers on his head on the back of the land dragon jumped down from the dragon's back and kneeled down at Zhang Lisheng's feet. Devoutly kissing the muddy water in front of his toes, he said respectfully.
"It's just a not-so-glorious victory. Pass my order, exterminate the city defense army that is still resisting stubbornly.
Demote the surrendered city defense army and all the Sea Haines City tribesmen who have picked up weapons in the battle to slaves. Follow the Wizard Li army and continue to march inland. Let them be the vanguard when we attack the city, "Zhang Lisheng frowned and ordered," There's also a change in the plan. Increase the number of Wizard Li warriors guarding the city by 50%.
The rest of the expeditionary army must push the war to the border of Yassen and Fran within three days before the mainland powers can react. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Wizard Li chief warrior stood up and jumped on the back of the land dragon to run away. At this time, some of the merchants who understood the Hellfire language had already snapped back to their senses. Dumbfounded, they looked at Zhang Lisheng again. The reason was not only because of his brutal order but also because of the way the Wizard Li tribesmen addressed him as' Your Majesty. '
Zhang Lisheng ignored the horrified gazes cast on him and walked up to Yaj in two steps. Looking straight into the female merchant's eyes, he said, "Yaj, it's already late so I don't want to waste any more time.
Now, please tell me, are you still willing to keep the promise that you've made last night that you'll always obey my will?
Before answering this question, I can tell you a piece of news first. This time, the Wizard Li expeditionary army did not only attack the Sea Haines City but also all of the coastal city-states in Kattaman. In other words, if you answer yes, then all of your surviving relatives after the war will get … "
"You evil spiritual monster who claims to be a god! No matter how decadent the aristocrats of Kattaman are, they'll never succumb to the barbarian faith!" Suddenly, someone interrupted the Wizard Li god's words with a roar. "Straighten your back! Sea Haines City people, this is not a war that can be compromised! It's a war between barbarism and civilization …"
As this impassioned and old voice that Zhang Lisheng had long expected but was most unwilling to hear resonated in the Furoh Hall, many of the frightened mainlanders gradually had a change of expression. The blood feud of the tribe could actually make the most greedy merchant muster the courage to resist. One could not help but marvel at the great power of the word 'hatred.'
If it was another Conqueror, he would have long killed the person who shouted. However, Zhang Lisheng only quietly looked at the skinny old figure in the distance and vented his anger with a hoarse voice. Not only that, he even used his hand to stop all the Wizard Li warriors who rushed into the hall from making any strange movements.
It was only until the old man finished his words without any strength and looked back at him while coughing hoarsely that the young man pointed at the old man and ordered, "Fierce Wolf warrior, bring all of his tribesmen to me."
"Yes, Great God!" Several wolf-headed monsters with jagged teeth that revealed their lips jumped down from the giant millispiders and walked up to the old man who was talking nonsense. After reaching out their sharp nails to scratch his body, they sniffed with their huge noses for a while before jumping on their mounts and leaving the hall.
