Chapter 74： deep alley

"As I said before, on the side of the couch, there is no room for others to sleep soundly.

This sentence applies to us, and it also applies to these local forces. "

With a faint smile, he pulled his knotweed to a secluded alley.

Lei Xiao, who was leaning on the wall, immediately said: "Huzhang, what do you think he will do when he discovers that there is a force like ours in the shadow forest a few kilometers away? "

"Lord Lord, according to the other party's ruthless temperament, I am afraid that under the coercion and temptation, they will gather all the forces in the city and launch an attack against us desperately, in order to eliminate the threats that are close at hand."

On the other side, Hu Zhang pondered for a while, then responded with clasped fists.

"That's right, if that time comes, the situation will be very troublesome."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "After solving the crisis of the half-elves and the half-orcs in the barrier, the number one threat we are currently facing is undoubtedly this empty green town.

Therefore, what we need to do is to start first to avoid the worst. "

"It turns out that the Lord is really looking forward to it!" After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Hu Zhang had a look of admiration on his face.

Signaling that there is no need to compliment Huzhang, Lei Xiao asked again: "Huzhang, if it were you, according to the information we just obtained, how would you play this game of chess?"

"Go back to the lord, since the city is now full of complaints.

Then, the first thing we need to do is naturally to disintegrate the power in the city from the inside, and weaken the strength of the city owner as much as possible. "

After pondering for a moment, the knotweed clasped his fist again.

"Very good, continue talking."

While stroking his chin with his hand, Lei Xiao nodded.

"My subordinates believe that the forces in the city that can be disintegrated are divided into three components.

First, except for the blood scorpion mercenary group, those oppressed mercenaries.

As long as we can use this part of our strength for our own use, our combat power will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Second, it is the Shanglu Trade Fair. Judging from the description of Kunbu just now, the relationship between the two is obviously not harmonious.

Even if it can't be used by me because of the other party's huge background.

At the very least, the opponent must remain neutral. Judging from Fang Hai's previous performance, it shouldn't be difficult to do so.

Third, those ordinary soldiers with low treatment, if some soldiers can be transferred to our side, then they should cooperate with the mercenaries inside and outside. The subordinates believe that this city will definitely be broken. "

"The idea is good, but you have overlooked two key points."

At the entrance of the alley, two wobbly drunks passed by.

Only then did Lei Xiao open his mouth and said, "The first point, if we are in the process of attracting mercenaries or ordinary soldiers, once the city lord forces find out, wouldn't it be a direct shock?

The second point is also the most crucial point.

In terms of personal combat power alone, your strength is already the absolute ceiling of combat power here. Do we still need to attack the city honestly? "

"Lord Lord, what do you mean?"

Hearing this, the knotweed was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly showed a bright look.

"That's right, it's the beheading operation!"

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao smiled and said, "While directly killing the city lord's extremely loyal minions, we will cooperate with the three measures you just mentioned.

With such a two-pronged approach, this Kongqing Town will naturally fall under our control at the least cost. "

"Your lord is wise!"

Hearing this, the knotweed couldn't help showing an expression of sudden realization: "Lord Lord, when will we start to act?"

"Don't worry, now is not the time."

Signing the knotweed to lower his voice, Lei Xiao continued: "At this stage, even if we capture this city, we have no chance of defending it.

After all, this Kongqing Town is one of the components of this human country.

Blind action, once the army of this country is attracted here, will undoubtedly lead to even greater disasters.

Therefore, before that, I still need to make two layouts.

One of them is to get as much information about this country as possible, and the breakthrough for this is the young president of the Shanglu Trade Fair. "

"Understood, even if it is a collateral line of the kingdom's wealthy Shanglu family, the information about this country in the hands of the other party is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people and even ordinary nobles."

Hearing this, Hu Zhang's rough face showed a thoughtful look.

"That's right, do you remember what Kumbu said about this young president?"

Directly opposite, Lei Xiao tidied up his thin illusion cloak and continued: "Because it is a collateral line, the other party does not seem to be favored by the direct line that controls the real power of the Shang Lu family, and this is why he was assigned to such a remote place. land.

And this is the perfect opportunity for us to connect with him. "

"So that's the case! The Lord said that as long as he shows his strength a little, he promises to help the other party gain real power in the family."

According to Lei Xiao's idea, after thinking for a moment again, the eyes of the knotweed lit up: "In this way it is a win-win for both us and this young president.

And, from a long-term perspective, it will be of great benefit to the future development of our territory. "

"Of course, this is only an ideal situation. If it really doesn't work, then the only way is to use force to force the other side into submission."

Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and Lei Xiao said again: "Okay, since we have made up our minds, let's go back to the business and land trade fair just now."

Having said that, the two walked out of the alley at the corner again and started walking towards the block where they came from.

At the same time, in the center of the city, somewhere in the city lord's mansion.

In a spacious and bright hall, a middle-aged man about forty years old, dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, sat on the throne in the upper position, faintly exuding an extremely cold powerhouse breath.

On the left and right sides of him stood a row of handsome young maids.

At this time, despite the middle-aged man's expression, he looked gentle and inoffensive.

But the dozen or so maids around were all trembling slightly because of fear, and they didn't even dare to breathe. Obviously, they were very jealous of this middle-aged man. It seemed that the next second, the middle-aged man in front of him, It would turn around and tear them apart.

Just as the middle-aged man in the brocade robe was leisurely closing his eyes, a thin man in black trotted in from outside the door.

This person also exudes a frightening power, making those maids who were already trembling tremble again.

"Reporting to the city lord, the head of the blood scorpion mercenary group, and the squid bone."

With a scornful look on the body of the maids, the skinny man smiled.
