In the afternoon, the blazing sun hung in the west, and waves of fiery air permeated the entire Black Earth City. The city guard brigade in Black Earth City was patrolling lazily and casually in the Black Earth City, along with some poor soldiers. Standing on the wall basking in the sun.
"This ghost weather, it's terribly hot in the sun, and terribly cold at night!" A burly man in tattered armor was cursing in a low voice, and beside him were nine other companions, who were the city guards. One of the squads of the brigade.
When some civilians around saw these soldiers, they all retreated a little in fear.
Seeing this scene, one of the warriors scolded in a low voice: "Being under the greedy fat pig, some of my elders look down on me, that fat pig is so greedy!"
"Damn, if it wasn't to keep my son and wife full, I wouldn't do this!" The soldier next to him also echoed.
In the city of black soil, the fat city lord has a really bad reputation. The soldiers who joined the army in order to feed their families or themselves also secretly scolded the abominable city lord, but they did not dare to resist, because the city lord had a A powerful and domineering son, his son is said to be at the peak of the seventh level, and this kind of strength already has the strength to dominate in an ordinary small town.
"Drive, drive!" The knight riding a steed not far away rushed over quickly, and when he saw the squad in front of him, he immediately shouted, "Brothers, go and see the new city lord. That greedy fat pig is dead. Come on! Go and meet the new city lord!"
The ten people in this small team were startled, looked at each other, and immediately laughed excitedly.
"Haha... Quick, go to the City Lord's Mansion."
In a place like the Chaos Territory, the people have almost no sense of belonging. This month, this person is the city owner, and the next month may become another person. The people's requirements are not high, they just hope that they can have enough food and the family is not hungry.
The City Lord's Mansion of Black Earth City can be regarded as a city within a city.
The entire Black Earth City army consisted of two high-level brigades, each with 1,800 people, one of which was the City Guard. The other brigade was the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. Use half of the military to protect the city lord's mansion, so it can be imagined that the city lord is afraid of death.
At this moment, a large number of soldiers had gathered in the City Lord's Mansion, and almost all of the 3,600 soldiers rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion could easily accommodate 1,800 people. At this moment, more than 3,000 people poured in. It is not crowded. On the wide training ground, the five Buck brothers stood in the center of the training ground. The cast body made these five people look up like a god of war, especially with the terrifying black battle axe on their backs.
Many soldiers stood around in silence.
"Brothers," a blond short-haired strong man roared loudly, "that hateful fat pig and his son have been chopped into pieces by the giant axes of these five adults. These five adults are great The ninth-level powerhouse, the invincible ninth-level powerhouse!!!"
As soon as the shout of the ninth-level powerhouse came out, all the soldiers were shocked.
"The ninth-level powerhouse? The ninth-level powerhouse will come to a small town like ours?" There were whispers among the soldiers.
"Peng!" Gates took a step forward, and the demon-like aura made the soldiers take a step back, Gates opened his mouth and laughed, "Listen to me one by one, from today on, the black soil The city belongs to our five brothers. My elder brother Buck is the new city owner!"
Gates pulled out the giant axe behind him and looked at the group of people around him: "My eldest brother Buck is the city lord. Anyone of you who has an opinion can give me a try!"
Compete with this terrifying god-of-war figure
The son of the city lord who was famous in Black Earth City was killed by Gates with an axe. Of course, most of the soldiers here did not see that scene. The sturdy folk customs made these soldiers look at Gates. Tall, but not necessarily strong!
"This giant axe of mine is made from countless precious materials and weighs 5,300 catties!" Gates casually waved the giant axe. on the boulder of power.
The over 10,000-pound boulder didn't move, and the soldiers around were startled: "Is that axe made of wood with a layer of dye on it?"
"Peng!" The boulder burst open abruptly and turned into powder.
Lightweight!
All the soldiers present were stunned and smashed 10,000 catties of boulders. These soldiers had also heard of it, but they wanted to turn the 10,000 catties of boulders into powder at once. It's not just about power... All the soldiers looked at Gates admiringly.
Gates grinned triumphantly, a trick he was used to in the Eighteen Principalities of the Northern Territory. A place like Chaos Territory, like the Eighteen Principalities of the Northern Territory, worships the strong.
"It seems that everyone has no opinion." Gates said loudly, "Well, from today onwards, you are all my elder brother's soldiers. There is an advantage to being my elder brother's soldier. In the future, everyone's military pay will be your military pay in the past. three times!"
Triple pay
The more than 3,000 soldiers around were stunned for a moment, but then there were monstrous cheers—
"Long live Lord Buck!" "Long live Lord Buck!" "Long live Lord Buck!"…
What are they not satisfied with, five powerful and incredible powerhouses, and high military pay, this kind of leader is their favorite.
…
There is a new city lord in Black Earth City. This great city lord, Lord Buck, has four brothers. All five of them are great ninth-level powerhouses, and their weapons alone have 5,300 catties! With such a powerful leader, the people of the entire Black Earth City cheered.
What excites people the most is-
The Lord of the City announced publicly that as long as he is under his leadership, the people of Black Earth City will never be taxed!
Never tax! In the entire Chaos Territory, it can almost be called a miracle. After all, there are no taxes, so where does the money come from to support soldiers? But this problem was nothing to Linley. He possesses the terrifying wealth that the kingdom of Finlay had accumulated over thousands of years.
Just taking out 100 million gold coins is absolutely enough.
A powerful leader, high military salaries, and never taxation... With these three points, the people of Black Earth City quickly formed a centripetal force, and they all wanted to live under the rule of such a leader forever. Because of the high military pay, more people want to join the army.
At the same time, some civilians around Black Earth City immediately migrated into Black Earth City after knowing this.
…
Half a month after the new city owner of Black Earth City.
In the Lord's Mansion of Black Earth City, the newly elected housekeeper 'Nimi' is introducing everything about Black Earth City to the mysterious 'Master Lei'. As the manager of the trivial matters in Black Earth City today, Nemi knows... The name of the city lord of Black Earth City is 'Buck', but in fact the top leader is the mysterious Lord Lei.
"Sir, there are nearly 80,000 residents in the city of Heitu City, and there are a large number of townships and other residents around the city, adding up... Under the rule of Black Earth City, there are more than 700,000 people in total. Now the army is also expanding, reaching five The brigades. They are all high-level establishments, with five brigades, a total of 9,000 people." Nemi said respectfully.
Linley, who was sitting above, nodded slightly when he heard this.
"Okay, Nemi, you can step back." Buck said with a look at him.
"Yes, Lord City Lord." Neimi immediately left respectfully.
Sitting in the living room at the moment was Linley and other core members. According to the original plan of Cessler and Linley, they just said that the city owner was Lord Buck. The name 'Buck' was very common, and no one knew who Buck was.
"Sir, you really surprised us. Just taking out a magic crystal card is 100 million gold coins." Buck said with a smile.
Lin Lei smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about money!" Lin Lei back then had robbed the Finlay Kingdom of thousands of years of accumulation.
However, Cessler said: "Linley, we are so good to the residents of Black Earth City now, we want to make Black Earth City the most solid foundation for us in the future, and let the people here absolutely support us! That's alright... As for the future, at most low taxes should be implemented. Moreover, the operation of a country must allow it to form a good cycle, and it cannot always rely on external financial resources. It must be self-sufficient!"
lei nodded.
"I don't know much about managing the country. I'll leave this to Zessler and Jenny." Linley gave Jenny a smile. Cessler was also in charge of a principality in the Chaos Lord, and when Jenny was in Chier County, he also replaced his younger brother in charge of Chier County for several years. For management work, he is more proficient than Linley.
Jenny nodded and smiled, "Brother Linley, as a leader, you only need to know people and make good use of them, and leave everything to us."
Cessler also agreed: "Jenny is right, Linley... You are our flag. In Chaos Territory, a peerless powerhouse has a very strong influence. Look at the god of war, he doesn't care about anything in the Mountain of Wushen for a long time. But everyone understands! As long as the Valkyrie is there, the O'Brien Empire will never fall."
"My lord, in the future, your role in our forces will be the same as the Valkyrie's role in the O'Brien Empire." Buck also said.
Linley nodded slightly: "I understand the truth, yes, I went for a walk around Heitu City yesterday. About tens of miles northeast of Heitu City, there is a hill called Heiwu Mountain. I plan to practice there. "
Whether it was the laws of the earth or the elements of the wind element, Linley felt the vastness of them, and Linley was eager to spend a lot of time immersing in them, comprehending and absorbing them.
…
In a county town that accommodates hundreds of thousands of people in the central and southern part of Chaos Territory, in a room on the fifth floor of a five-story hotel, a gray-haired old man was opening a letter and carefully reading the contents of the letter.
"I'm really afraid of what's coming!" The gray-haired old man frowned, "The Pope ordered not to deal with Linley, he just kept monitoring. Some time ago, I knew that Linley and his group had entered the Chaos Territory, and I thought this Linley was Traveling. I didn't expect it to occupy a city. What is he going to do?"
The old man had a bad feeling in his heart.
Linley was a great enemy of the Holy See of Light, an enemy they were unwilling to deal with.
But now...
"I hope this Linley is just here to play with the Chaos." The old man frowned. What he was most afraid of was... Linley came to the Chaos to deal with the Holy See of Light, "We don't want to mess with him, but if he doesn't To provoke us, we have to take action."
As a high-level figure of the Holy See of Light in the Chaos Territory, the old man was very clear about the strength of Linley's side.
"As for now, we can only monitor and see what Linley is going to do."
…
Outside the city of Black Earth, on a hill more than a thousand meters high near the forest of darkness, Linley was sitting cross-legged on the canopy of a big tree. With the wind blowing, the branches and leaves of the canopy swayed, and Linley was like a leaf. Usually shakes slightly.
There was also a heavy sword on his back.
Carrying a 3,600-pound Heiyu epee on his back, he can still sit on top of the tree canopy. Linley had indeed reached an extremely high level of control over the wind.
"Slowness and extreme speed are not that simple either." Linley kept demonstrating the trick of 'the rhythm of the wind' in his mind. The rhythm of the wind was actually a perfect presentation of the two forms of wind in one move. On the contrary, the air blade appeared on the blade.
But Linley discovered that the slowness and speed of a single study was also surprising.
"Slowness is the ultimate meaning, speed is the ultimate in research..." Linley was completely immersed in his understanding of the laws of the elements. This understanding was entirely based on a flash of inspiration, or when he suddenly understood one of the principles of the laws of the earth, Linley would study the earth. law. Suddenly discovering a truth of the law of the wind system, lei will also understand it.
The days of ascetic cultivation and comprehension in Heiwu Mountain passed very quickly...
