Next to him, Renato's son who had just gone to pass the message widened his eyes in horror, his gaze fell on Kasa who suddenly appeared, and then extended along the arm that Kasa was swinging to his father.
He saw his father's head shattered into pieces, smashed by Kasa's punch. The red and white things that gushed out were like powerful brushstrokes by a painter, dragging a rich color track in the air.
Something fell on his head. The man in his twenties subconsciously reached out to touch his head and felt something round and soft. He took it down and saw that it was an eyeball with nerves still attached. His face, distorted by fear, was reflected in the eyeball.
"Ah, no... "
He threw the eyeball away in horror, sat down on the ground, and looked at Kasa. He was so scared that he lost control and kept screaming.
"So noisy." Casa kicked out suddenly and hit Renato's son in the head, causing him to end up with the same fate as Renato.
In a blink of an eye, there were two more corpses on the field, but Kasa still had no intention of stopping. He turned around and set his sights on Renato's other son.
"Mr. Casa, don't kill them all."
Tianyang's voice rang out. Kasa had just raised his arm, then put it down, grinning and patting the nearly thirty-year-old man on the cheek: "You have to thank Lord Tianyang."
The strong man in the desert withdrew his hand, turned around and went back to the villagers. Only then did Renato's remaining son finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The legs of this Ion man were weak, and he only managed to keep himself from losing his composure due to his own willpower. However, he could not feel at ease at the moment as his father and brother had died tragically.
He never dreamed that his father had two trump cards in his hand and described to them the bright prospects of the Pelikin family yesterday, but today one of his trump cards was easily broken and his life was lost.
Looking at Tianyang, looking at the young lord of Lieyang Castle, Ion felt a deep fear.
At this time, Ma Gaogan coughed, walked out, looked at Yaen with a smile on his face and said: "Now, what you, the Pelikin family, can do is to pledge allegiance to Lieyang Castle and serve Mr. Tianyang from now on. This is your only way out."
Yan's attention was first attracted by Ma Gao, then he passed by Kasa and Chiying, and finally landed on Tianyang.
A shudder ran through his heart.
Four... Four Heavenly Ranks!
This was something Pelikin could not resist at all. Ion smiled bitterly and was about to agree, but he heard a voice coming from behind.
"What a powerful method. I didn't expect that the agent we chose would be killed so easily, and even the family power could not be preserved."
"Then may I ask, Your Excellency, what are you going to do with us next?"
After turning around, Ion saw the colonel of Silver Dragon Castle with dark circles under his eyes, striding over with several officers. He was immediately delighted, thinking that this Colonel O'Neill represented Silver Dragon Castle. Although his combat power was not comparable to that of the Heavenly Rank, his status was there.
If Lieyang Castle attacked them, it would be tantamount to provoking Yinlong Castle. They might have to retreat today in order to avoid any consequences.
In this case, the Pelikin family can still be saved!
However, with the bodies of his father and brother still at his feet, Ion did not dare to openly stand on the side of Silver Dragon Castle. He just kept his mouth shut and watched how the situation developed.
Seeing the people from Silver Dragon Fort, Ma Gao quickly lowered his voice and reminded them, "Mr. Tianyang, they are from Silver Dragon Fort."
Tian Yang nodded slightly and smiled, "We have no intention of becoming enemies with Silver Dragon Castle, but if Silver Dragon Castle infringes upon our interests, I believe that the men in the desert are not afraid of fighting."
He looked at Ma Gao and then at Kasa.
The mayor of Lightning Castle immediately straightened his chest, looked solemn, and nodded heavily.
As for Kasa, how could a man who has been challenging his limits be afraid of fighting? On the contrary, he was looking forward to a clash with the strong men of Silver Dragon Castle. He immediately gave O'Neal a ferocious smile.
O'Neill looked at Tianyang nervously, calm on the surface, "So what do you mean?"
Tian Yang smiled slightly, looked around calmly, and said slowly: "Silver Dragon Castle chose the Pelikin Family as its agent simply to seek development. In this case, why can't it cooperate with our Lieyang Castle and Lightning Castle?"
"Soon, the power of the Galeon family and their mineral veins will be controlled by Lightning Castle. Our two castles have resources and people. Aren't they stronger than one Pelikin?"
"If your castle is willing to cooperate with us, I believe the potential for development will be greater than investing in a Pelikin family, right?"
Tian Yang put his hands behind his back, looked at O'Neill, and said calmly: "War and plunder can indeed make the fortress grow rapidly, but we are not the kind of soft bones that can be easily gnawed by others."
"If you want to annex us through war, Silver Dragon Castle must be prepared to bleed heavily. And even if you annex us afterwards, can you gain a foothold in the desert?"
"I don't think so. Besides, if the battle line is extended, can your castle guarantee that it will not be targeted by nearby fortresses and other wolf packs will not take the opportunity to tear flesh from you?"
"So you see, instead of fighting each other to the point of losing, why don't we cooperate and develop together?"
O'Neill looked at the other officers, several of whom had been persuaded by Tian Yang and nodded subconsciously.
O'Neill looked at the four Heavenly Ranks on Tianyang's side again, and sighed in his heart, although there were several Heavenly Ranks in Silver Dragon Castle, if most of them were withdrawn to conquer the desert, it would really be a loss.
After weighing the options again and again, he said in a deep voice, "Well, I will bring your thoughts back to the fortress, regardless of whether we will be enemies or friends in the future. But at least, today we at Silver Dragon Castle will no longer interfere in the affairs of this desert. I wonder if you can let us leave?"
Tian Yang glanced at Ma Gao, then turned sideways and said with a smile, "Please go ahead."
O'Neill nodded, turned around, and shouted, "Let's go!"
They returned to the chariot, and the convoy slowly passed by Tianyang and others, passed through the Lightning Fort's convoy, drove out of the canyon, and drove away.
As soon as O'Neill left, Yarn knew that the Pelikin family had no chance, so he made a prompt decision, knelt on one knee towards Tianyang, propped up the ground with one fist, lowered his head and swore loudly: "From today on, the Pelikin family is willing to be loyal to Lieyang Castle and serve Master Tianyang for generations to come."
Seeing that Yan had made his attitude clear, the other members of the Pelikin family dared not neglect them and knelt down one after another. Finally, even the soldiers on both sides of the canyon knelt down to show their submission to Tianyang.
Tianyang nodded slightly, accepting their allegiance.
At this point, the Pelkin family and the Star Sand Iron Mine they controlled all belonged to Tianyang.
On the same day, Lightning Castle swept away
The Leon family's territory. Their head had just been killed by Renato not long ago, and they had been arguing over the successor to the head of the family.
As soon as the army of Lightning Fort arrived, Galeon started to fight on its own and was unable to stop the attack of Lightning Fort.
It only took Lightning Fort one afternoon to defeat them. The remaining forces were naturally incorporated into Lightning Fort, and the mineral veins controlled by Galeon also became the industry of Lightning Fort.
In this way, Tianyang and Ma Gao divided the two families of Pelikin and Galeon, and then established a trade route connecting the desert and Lieyang Castle, thereby extending the influence of their two fortresses to the surrounding areas.
Upon hearing the news, the scattered forces and sand bandits that were originally active in this area either fled as far away as possible or took refuge in the two fortresses.
As for the Fengya Camp, it became a stronghold of Lieyang Castle in the desert, providing a resting place for caravans traveling on the trade route.
After that, the villagers protected by Kasa were taken to Lieyang Fort by Tianyang. There was no shortage of jobs in this emerging fortress, and under the protection of new regulations, even outsiders could be protected here.
Kasa himself felt that the Tianyang Fortress was very promising. If he stayed with him, there would be plenty of opportunities to challenge the strong. In addition, with the lobbying and agitation of the villagers, this desert strongman finally moved to the Lieyang Fortress.
Tianyang did not impose any restrictions on him, and even designated an area as a residence for Kasa and the villagers. In this way, Kasa and the villagers had settled down in Lieyang Castle.
If something happens in Lieyang Castle, Tianyang believes that Kasa will not stand idly by.
Thus, there was one more Heavenly Rank in Lieyang Castle.
... ... ..
East Land, Twilight Castle.
It was very windy tonight, and the sound of the howling wind could be heard throughout the fortress.
There is an unwritten rule in Twilight Castle that people are not allowed to go out after sunset. Moreover, the wind is so strong tonight that there is naturally not a single ghost on the street.
There are guards walking around on the city wall of the inner city. If someone observes carefully, they will find that these guards are not staring at the outside of the inner city, but at the inside of the inner city.
It seems that they are wary of something.
When several guards were walking along a section of the city wall, a creepy cry suddenly came from deep inside the city. The sound was intermittent and faint, but it made people's scalps tingle.
A younger guard couldn't help but ask, "What's that sound?"
An old soldier nearby pushed him and said coldly, "Don't ask, don't care, just pretend you didn't hear anything."
The young guard glanced deep into the city, opened his mouth, and finally chose to remain silent.
Deep in the inner city, in the square of the sacrificial hall, someone was running around in panic. He seemed to want to hide behind a pillar, but at this moment, a tentacle stretched out quickly from the square.
This tentacle seemed to be made of pure flesh and blood, without skin, and was wet and sticky all over. But on the tentacle, there were faces without eyes or noses, only a hole-like mouth.
It quickly wrapped around the man's feet and pulled him toward the square. The man fell to the ground but still tried desperately to grab something.
“No, no.”
With a scream, he was dragged away by the flesh-and-blood tentacle, leaving behind a few broken nails and intermittent bloodstains on the ground.
