Unexpectedly, Chen Rui's first sentence was not to stop the battle, but to incite: "The strongest blade of the dark moon, the elites of the Flame Army, answer me, you can easily destroy the defense in front of you and level the ground." Is this town?"
"Yes!" The orderly and resonant voice revealed strong determination. The high morale displayed and the invisible pressure made the soldiers and civilians in Pesa Town even more nervous. The guarding force completely vanished.
"If we are facing the enemy, our legion leader Athena will immediately order the whole army to attack and instantly turn the enemy into powder! However, she, who has always been brave and decisive, did not give the order. Although this territory was invaded ungratefully not long ago invaded our territory, slaughtered and plundered our relatives and properties, but it was only their rulers who were wrong, not the innocent soldiers and civilians in front of you! The invaders have paid the price in blood, we are the strongest in the dark moon The army will be the strongest army in the Demon Realm in the future, we don't need to prove our courage by slaughtering innocent people!"
The sound amplified by human beings through some kind of magic props is sonorous and powerful, as if people saw the brave man who rushed to the Red You army first: "Tell me, the princess sent her strongest flame army, the purpose of coming to Lan Rong What is it?"
"Help Lanrong!" Under the leadership of Athena, thousands of people roared out in unison.
Chen Rui nodded in satisfaction, stepped forward on his horse, and shouted to the guards in Pesa Town: "Soldiers and civilians in Pesa Town, I am Chen Rui, the financial officer of Dark Moon. Courage pays tribute, but we came to Lanrong today not to invade your homeland, let alone for revenge and killing, but for peace and friendship! Our eldest princess, His Royal Highness Shea, received an invitation from Chandler, the acting lord of Lanrong. The emergency distress letter, considering that the people of Lanrong are suffering in dire straits, so we don’t care about the past and send us to support! We will help Lanrong put down the rebellion, restore the economy and prosperity. Please remove the magic circle, Put away your hostility, we will not let any soldier or citizen be harmed."
The soldiers and civilians in Pesa Town looked at each other in blank dismay. The name of Chen Rui had been heard before, and it seemed that it was an important task for the development of Dark Moon, and he was still a human being.
— This human being was right before. With such a disparity in strength between the two sides, it is indeed impossible to resist. In this case, the opponent can completely sweep away the pitiful defense strength of one's own side. Why is it so nonsense
No one wants to die, and hearing that there is hope of survival, many people's eyes fell on the mayor Ryan. Old Ryan is a dark elf, over three hundred years old, and has great prestige in the town.
After learning of the arrival of the Dark Moon Army, the captain in charge of the military defense fled early in the morning. It was he who mobilized the townspeople to participate in the defense with all his strength to buy time for his daughter and children to escape.
Although old Ryan is old, it does not mean that he is not afraid of death. On the contrary, the older the person, the more afraid the last moment will come. However, the dark elf still cautiously asked loudly: "I am the mayor Ryan, My lord, you said that you were entrusted by the lord to help Lan Rong put down the chaos, why didn't we receive the order from the lord?"
"Mayor Ryan, do you think that with the current chaotic situation of Lan Rong, the order can still arrive on time?" Chen Rui shook his head and said: "Your lords have encountered difficult troubles themselves, otherwise they would not be pulled down. The son asked for help from the neighbor who had just attacked."
The mayor of the Dark Elf groaned for a while, but did not respond—withdrawing the magic circle would be tantamount to giving up resistance completely. If the other party turned against him, this terrifying army could kill everyone without restraint. Disobeying the lord's order, the other party can still slaughter without scruples, at most it just adds a little resistance, the problem is that the women and children should not have escaped yet...
Seeing that the other party fell silent, Chen Rui added: "We came here with a sincere friendship regardless of previous suspicions, and we don't want to see unnecessary bloodshed and conflicts. To prove this, you withdraw the magic circle, and I will now go alone come over."
This already means taking the initiative to be a hostage. When the Dark Moon Army is sure of winning, this human financial officer actually made such an "unwise" risky move. Could it be that Lord Chandler really asked them to come to support
Now Chen Rui's reputation has gradually spread in the Fallen Angel Empire. Although this human being has no power, he is the most trusted financial officer of Princess Dark Moon Xia, and is also the lover of Athena, the leader of the Flame Army!
Many Flame Army's eyes are on the Legion Commander Athena. Although the other party is weak, but the financial officer's action this time is too risky. You must know that Lan Rong's 100,000 troops died in the dark moon , who can guarantee what those guys who show strong hostility will do? It's just that the legion leader Athena's expression was firm and calm, and she didn't stop her lover.
Seeing that Chen Rui rode over by himself, Old Ruien immediately asked the soldiers to withdraw from the magic circle.
Chen Rui entered the checkpoint, looked at the soldiers and residents who were still suspicious, and said, "Everyone, from your faces, I can see fear, panic, and a trace of hidden hatred. There should be no conflict between us. Some wars have resulted in undue hatred. This kind of hatred may be hard to forget for a while, but just because the dead have died, the living should live better. This time we worship the White Night Emperor According to the order of His Royal Highness, the eldest princess Xi Ya, who is the first relative of the family, come to help Lan Rong with sincerity to resolve hatred, and will help Lan Rong to get out of chaos and famine, and restore the stability and prosperity of the past just like assisting other territories."
These words moved many people, and Old Ryan finally nodded and said: "My lord is able to take the risk to come here alone, which is enough to prove everything."
After hearing the news, the soldiers and townspeople in Pesa Town put down their weapons one after another, and then the checkpoint opened wide, and the Dark Moon Army entered Pesa Town smoothly. What reassures Old Ryan and the townspeople is that this army did not burn, kill and loot as imagined, but chose a suitable location with strict discipline, and did not cause any harassment to the townspeople. Under the leadership of Chief Athena, donated some food to relieve some particularly difficult townspeople.
Qiu didn't commit any crimes, and even rescued him righteously, even Lan Rong's own army couldn't do it.
Only then did Old Ryan feel completely relieved, and exclaimed, "You deserve to be an elite soldier in the strongest territory of the empire!"
In fact, this kind of discipline is produced through strict training and a strict reward and punishment system. Once, during a military dispatch to support a small territory, a small leader couldn't hold back the male hormones. Slapped a dark goblin woman in the territory, and it turned out that the little boss was beheaded by a military judge in front of the entire army.
(According to unreliable gossip, the leader's body was finally buried by the dark goblin woman)
After several incidents of killing one as an example, coupled with ideological indoctrination in addition to hard training, the discipline of the army has been significantly improved, and these elites have been able to truly obey the four words of order and prohibition.
"Mayor Ruien is over-rewarded." Chen Rui thought for a while and said, "In fact, our eldest princess just received a letter of plea for help secretly sent by Lord Chandler's cronies. I thought it was a forgery. We just heard that there were many strange events in Luping Town, and the deputy commander of Zhanlan, Sumen, rebelled. We don’t know anything about the specific situation, so we ask the mayor to let us know.”
Old Ryan thought for a while and said, "Lupine Town is at the southernmost point of Lanrong. After passing Lupine Town, going south is the Sea of Death. It's far away from us. I don't know the specific news, but I heard that many townspeople have disappeared there, and the lord ordered Lupin Town to be closed and no one is allowed to go out. As for the matter of General Sumen... it seems that there are other secrets. At present, the Azure Legion has almost disbanded in name only. , we have soldiers brought back from there, it is said that General Sumen has an important relative in Lupin Town, the so-called rebellion is probably related to this... "
Chen Rui asked old Ryan a few more questions, and the answers he got were similar to the dark demon's information. However, judging from the conversation between old Ryan and some townspeople, the exorbitant taxes were already quite serious when Teutonic was in office. , Now Chandler's excessive extortion is even more miserable. In order to quell the voices of dissatisfaction in the territory, Chandler instituted rather cruel punishments, intending to use bloody means to stabilize his prestige and status as the temporary lord.
It's just that this method seems to have the opposite effect to some extent. From the reaction of the townspeople and Sumen's separation from the Azure Army, it should be seen that if Sumen chooses not only to leave the Legion but to truly rebel, I'm afraid the response There will be more people.
While Old Rui En was talking with Chen Rui, a soldier came to report that a large number of poisoned people suddenly appeared in the town, their bodies were black and swollen, and they were unconscious. People are poisoned.
There are rumors that someone from the Dark Moon Army intends to poison and wipe out everyone in the town silently. At present, many townspeople who don't know the truth have already surrounded the barracks.
Old Rui'en and Chen Rui were startled, and hurried out, only to see a large group of people gathered around the outside, and under the instigation of caring people, they shouted the sound of the dark moon people getting out of Lan Rong.
"Everyone be quiet!" Old Ryan shouted loudly, the prestige of the dark elf's old mayor made the noisy voice suddenly quiet down.
"If the Dark Moon Army really wants to destroy us, there is no need for poisoning at all! Even their own soldiers will be poisoned!" Old Ryan shouted. Because of this, Yuezhen turned his face and made a move, and it was the townspeople who suffered.
Seeing the same poisonous soldiers carried out one by one, the townspeople fell silent immediately. There was no such stupid trick, and even their most elite soldiers were buried together.
"Who knows if this is some kind of conspiracy? Maybe even the old mayor was bribed by them! Before they came, this kind of thing had never happened in the town!" A voice called out, this leader, many people Also followed the yelling.
"Huaimi!" The old mayor saw the guy who took the lead and said angrily, "You damn scum! When your father brought you to the town, he was about to starve to death , who rescued you, let you, an ungrateful white-eyed demon wolf, live to this day? Now you are framing me and being bribed?"
For a moment, all eyes fell on the dark elf named Huaimi, who couldn't speak for a while, and Pagliu's voice came to Chen Rui's ear: "This dark elf's waist The smell of that kind of poison is coming out, it should be the poison that has not been used up, and I probably want to poison it again."
Chen Rui said a few words to Old Rui En, and Old Rui En was furious. He rushed forward, parted the crowd, and grabbed Huai Mi: "So it turned out to be you who poisoned me!"
Huai Mi was taken aback: "Nonsense, why do you..."
Before he finished speaking, Old Ryan grabbed his belt and immediately grabbed a bag of things: "What is this?"
Huai Mi's gloomy face turned pale all of a sudden, he hesitated and couldn't speak.
Old Ryan has ruled the town for many years, so he naturally has his own prestige and methods. He shouted, "Would you like me to feed you now?"
Huai Mi knelt down with a thud: "Mayor, please spare me! A guy in black asked me to do it! He said it was to avenge the soldiers who died in the dark moon..."
Athena made a decisive decision and immediately ordered: "Flame Army, immediately block the entrance and exit of the town, and no one is allowed to enter or exit!"
Old Ryan was eager to clear Pesa Town's innocence, so he hurriedly asked, "What does that guy look like?"
At this moment, Pagliu's figure in a cloak appeared in front of his eyes like a ghost, and his two fingers clamped a sharp crossbow bolt that appeared behind Huaimi's forehead like lightning.
Only then did Huai Mi realize that he was on the verge of life and death without a sound, and cold sweat broke out on his head.
Everyone was taken aback. Almost at the same time, Pagliu's figure disappeared again, and then a black figure fell to the ground.
The dark elf Huaimi who was still in shock jumped up immediately, pointing at the shadow and shouting: "It's him! He bought...threatened to poison me!"
Old Ryan saw that it was an unfamiliar face with a fierce look in his eyes, but he couldn't move, as if he had lost the ability to resist.
"This matter is already very clear. Someone used tricks to frame the Dark Moon Army and provoke the friendly relationship between us," Chen Rui took the opportunity to say loudly: "Everyone, please rest assured that we have the best military doctors with the army, and I myself Proficient in poison art, I will definitely help those poisoned townspeople get rid of the poison!"
Chen Rui's proficiency in poison is naturally a cover. With Pagliu around, it is definitely not a problem to cure this poison.
At this moment, the townspeople exclaimed. It turned out that the real murderer's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose emitted silver light at the same time, and his whole body exploded. It's just that the power of this explosion has not yet spread, and it has been destroyed. An invisible force field was under control, unable to pose a threat to the surrounding townspeople at all.
After the power was exhausted, the invisible force field disappeared, leaving only the powdered limbs scattered with dust, and it was Pagliu who pretended to be "Agulie" who shot.
Chen Rui's eyes narrowed slightly. This kind of self-explosion is quite familiar. It seems that this trip to Lan Rong is likely to meet "old friends".
