"Lord, don't worry, the entire territory is now under our control, except that Murong Enchanting is missing..."
"Ah, how could it be? Tell me carefully..."
"I didn't see Murong Yaorao after I went out. Later, I specially led 400 members of our reclamation team to attack his 500 people. Murong Yaorao brought 500 people from the territory and was killed by Xue Shengrong.
A camp was arranged on the east side of the city.
But when I rushed there with the people, the place was already empty. Murong Yaorao must have seen that something was wrong and ran away with the people..."
"She actually ran away!..."
Zhou Zhenghao scratched his head,
"This is a bit difficult to handle. The information you gave me said that she is the Western envoy under Guiyin Patriarch. Is that right?..."
"That's right, she admitted this herself when she was chatting with Xue Shengrong, and I stood beside her and said it..."
"This is really troublesome..."
Zhou Zhenghao whispered, he sorted through all the information in his mind, and now he knew that Murong Enchanting was definitely a trouble for him.
The strength of her men is actually not weak. If she really brings 500 people and her own reclamation team members, it's hard to say who will win...
Unexpectedly, this woman saw the opportunity and ran away.
What made Zhou Zhenghao scratch his head even more was that he had no idea where this woman's territory was, not even Xue Shengrong knew...
This woman is so mysterious, but Zhou Zhenghao knows one thing, her territory is definitely not too far away from this territory.
This is the most troublesome part. This woman is like a poisonous snake lurking in the grass.
I am outside the grass. The enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear...
The enemy can bite you at any time, but you don't know where the enemy is hiding.
This feeling makes people like Zhou Zhenghao feel like a thorn in their backs and a stick in their throats.
But there was nothing he could do now. He could only focus on what was in front of him.
"What about the others? How about the other people in this territory below?..."
"Others are easier to deal with. In fact, we know that Xue Shengrong is from the Doomsday God Cult, and that is, the confidants around him, including this big sword and me.
After he talked with Murong Yaorao that day, he also talked with me and Zhang Dadao, as well as a dozen other cronies. But among his dozen confidants, more than half are from us.
It was all arranged intentionally by me. When we talked at that time, Zhang Dadao and I had already expressed our support, so he was able to carry out the plan with confidence.
In addition, among the people he transferred from other territories, there are indeed some of his people. These people themselves are not firm in their stance. After being fooled by him, they all decided to follow him and join the Doomsday God Cult..."
"How are those people doing now?..."
Zhou Zhenghao asked coldly.
"They have all turned into corpses..."
Qin Lan's answer was also very simple and cold-blooded, but it made Zhou Zhenghao very satisfied.
Then he continued to say to him,
"As for the others, they basically belong to the people who don't know the truth. They have no idea what happened tonight..."
"That's it. Then you should work harder and get ready. When dawn comes, we will hold a meeting and we must give everyone an explanation..."
"OK!……"
Qin Ran nodded.
The sky is brightening......
Throughout the territory, ordinary survivors who had been frightened all night were driven out of their wooden houses and rushed directly to a large square in the territory.
There are nearly 20,000 people here densely packed, surrounded by militiamen with no weapons and members of the reclamation regiment...
These people were eager to whisper in the square, and countless low voices merged into a buzz.
And at one end of this open space, next to the city wall, Zhou Zhenghao and several others are already standing on it...,
And there was a corpse hanging on the wall at their feet. This person was Xue Shengrong, a wolf-hearted scholar who was one of the five beasts under the Devil Tree of the Doomsday Cult.
The ordinary survivors underground were all panicked when they saw the lord who fell on the city wall. At the same time, they also saw that the black tower in the territory had shrunk again and was suspended in place...,
But no one dared to get close. There were ten members of the regiment guarding the black tower. They were all filled with murderous intent.
At this time, Qin Ran took a step forward and shouted loudly,
"Everyone, please be quiet and stop talking. The lord will speak to everyone..."
After shouting this three times, the buzzing below slowly stopped. After all, there were too many people.
Zhou Zhenghao took a step forward.
"Hello everyone, I am your lord Zhou Zhenghao. Everyone should know me. Let me briefly tell you what happened last night. This guy is from the Doomsday God. You don't have to believe that Qin Ran can testify.
.
He tried to assassinate me last night, but I killed him. In addition, his cronies and the doomsday god's men were all eliminated by my people last night.
So you have nothing to panic now. Whatever you have done before and will continue to do in the future, this territory is still safe. I can assure you here. You don’t need to worry. Besides!..."
Having said this, Zhou Zhenghao's voice suddenly rose and he shouted loudly, focusing everyone's attention again. Then he pointed at Qin Ran.
"From today on, your territory lord will be led by Qin Ran. From now on, you will work hard under the leadership of Qin Ran to build your own home. I will ensure your safety..."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
This sudden appointment made Qin Ran next to him a little confused and his lips twitched.
"Lord, I'm afraid I can't..."
"Haha, why not?..."
"I'm afraid of my abilities?..."
"It doesn't matter what your abilities are. What matters most is your loyalty. As long as you are loyal to me, you will be my stable lord as the lord of this territory. No one dares to say anything nonsense..."
Zhou Zhenghao's words were full of domineering and confident, and somehow they infected Qin Ran and gave him a sense of self-confidence.
Indeed, if you have any bad intentions, just follow the lord.
Then in full view of everyone, Qin Ran bound the black tower, making it bigger again.
Immediately following this incident, Zhou Zhenghao carried out large-scale rectification of this territory.
The militiamen were also redistributed and several captains were selected. It was Qin Ran's suggestion and all were replaced by his people. There are now nearly 2,000 militiamen in the entire territory, all of whom are under the leadership of Qin Ran.
As for those ordinary people, they basically just exploit basic resources, cultivate various farmlands, and raise pigs and sheep.
With the suppression of Zhou Zhenghao and 400 members of the reclamation regiment, this transition was surprisingly smooth and no one jumped out to resist.
Zhou Zhenghao stayed in this territory for three full days this time. When the situation was completely stable, he returned with 400 members of the reclamation group.
This time, although he solved one of his problems, Xue Shengrong, he also helped him clear out some resentful elements in other territories...,
This is also the reason why Zhou Zhenghao let him go in the first place. After all, his territory has developed too much, and it is inevitable that there will be people with ulterior motives among them.
This time, they were basically recruited into his territory by Xue Shengrong and secretly screened by Qin Ran...,
This time, the tumor was cleared away in one fell swoop, making Zhou Zhenghao feel refreshed.
But at the same time, a problem also arises, that is the escaped Murong Enchanting...
Zhou Zhenghao felt that this woman was definitely not simple. It would probably bring some trouble to him in the future.
But he was not afraid. Instead, he was vaguely looking forward to it...
After all, that first-hand tofu is really delicious and leaves people with endless aftertaste.
After sending Zhou Zhenghao away, Qin Ran couldn't wait to return to his house and started taking action immediately...,
In fact, during these three days, he was already ready to take action. He had already calculated that as soon as the lord left, he would take action. The purpose of his action was very simple. Like Zhou Zhenghao, he wanted to find the enchanting Murong's territory.
come out,
He even thought ambitiously that if he could capture Murong Yaorao alive and deliver it to the lord, it would definitely be a show-off...
There is nothing wrong with him thinking this way. There are three things a new official should do when he takes office...
What's more, Qin Ran was promoted a bit quickly this time. From an ordinary reclamation team member, he could be said to have risen rapidly. He only participated in an undercover activity and obtained a lord.
He can be on an equal footing with his old superiors, Shuangqiang Hou, Han Xingfa and others...,
Qin Ran also felt a little elated,
He has been managed by Zhou Zhenghao for three days in the territory, and everything is basically in order...,
The city defense that needs to be defended, the shifts that need to be worked, and even the training that needs to be done are all arranged for him.
Even the street scenes have been recruited, not to mention the logging guys...,
So he didn't have anything else to do right now, so he immediately recruited a team leader under him.
"Brother Qin, call me..."
This person was the reclamation team member who was lurking around Xue Shengrong with him.
His performance has always been very brave. He is also stout and has strong hands. Although he is not tall, only 1m7, his fighting ability cannot be underestimated.
His name is Su Xiuping.
After Qin Ran saw him coming, he frowned slightly.
"Su Xiuping, don't call me Brother Qin anymore..."
"Ah, then what should I call you?..."
"I am a lord now. Otherwise, you can call me lord. To distinguish myself from our great lord, you can call me Lord Qin..."
"Okay then, Lord Qin..."
The previous enthusiasm on Su Xiuping's face was gone. He knew that their identities had changed. They were no longer comrades in arms, but a superior-subordinate relationship. It was inevitable that he felt a little disappointed.
But his loss was well hidden, and Kieran across from him didn't even see it.
He doesn't care about any of this now.
So he said.
"Su Xiuping, hurry up and organize three teams to search outside and try your best to find Murong Enchant's territory. If you run more places, it's impossible that you can't miss such a big and tall black tower.
As long as you can find his territory and come back, I can officially promote you to squadron leader..."
"Really?...Okay!..."
Su Xiuping calculated in his mind, squadron leader, that is a captain who can manage 500 people. His current squad leader can only control 50 people. This is definitely a good opportunity to upgrade.
Just looking for a territory. There is no danger...,
So he turned around and immediately called two more brothers who were with him. These were friendships cultivated while working undercover together.
To be honest, Qin Ran's current management team are basically all members of the original reclamation group. Zhou Zhenghao has retained these people for him.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It was not taken away...
This is also the team he will use to manage this new territory.
Then each person picked ten ordinary militia members and walked along the road to the other end according to Qin Ran's instructions...
In addition, there is no need to survey that direction. That is the territory of Shuangqianghou and Han Xingfa. Of course, Murong Yaorao cannot be there.
This place happens to be a pass, dividing the road into two sides...
It is said that the strategic position of his position is quite important. It is equivalent to Zhou Zhenghao's gate to the south. As long as this place is guarded, the territory of Shuangqianghou and Han Xingfa inside will be as stable as Mount Tai.
The three teams were still walking together at the beginning,
After walking for more than ten miles, there began to be branching roads outside the highway, and there were also some small roads.
The three of them saw that the terrain was getting complicated, so one of them chose a direction and started patrolling. There were not many of them this time, and the average level of the ten of them was above level 20.
This also ensures that when encountering monsters in the wild, they can escape unscathed. This is a reconnaissance mission and they do not want to kill any monsters.
Therefore, there are fewer personnel and high agility.
Su Xiuping was responsible for the south direction, and the other two teams were responsible for one heading to the southwest and the other to the southeast.
Su Xiuping led the people along the road, and not long after walking they saw a rest stop. There should be a supermarket and other buildings here.
But now it seems that they have all collapsed and been abandoned, forming a ruins and broken walls. The remaining walls are less than half a meter high. It can be barely seen that there should have been some buildings here.
It had been almost more than an hour since we got here. Su Xiuping waved to the ten team members behind him.
"Let's take a rest here. After running so far, we haven't seen any black towers. If it doesn't work for a while, let's go up to the hillside and observe from a high position..."
As he spoke, he pointed to the east. The towering peaks were one after another, forming a winding line on the ground. It penetrated deeply into the flat land and created an obstacle that was difficult to pass. Only the valley floor sandwiched between the two mountain slopes faced human beings.
It is slightly friendly and releases a few parts that can barely be regarded as "roads". There is a not too high hillside there, it seems to be only more than a hundred meters high.
A few people sat down and rested here. They ate something, drank some water, and rested for a while.
The ten people walked towards the hillside again. The road on the halfway slope of the hillside was a bit difficult to walk. It could be said that there was no road. What they saw was desolation and silence. There was no trace of green among the large and small rough gravels.
They could only find a way to climb up. Fortunately, the hillside was sparse and there were some trees growing there, so it was not too difficult to climb up.
"Captain, can you really see it when you climb up?..."
While crawling, probably out of boredom, a militiaman chatted with Su Xiuping.
Su Xiuping shook his head helplessly,
"Who knows, but look at this, you have a wide field of vision in other places. As long as you climb this mountain peak and look around, at least within a large area, we can conduct accurate detection. Maybe after the investigation is completed
We can discover the enchanting black tower territory of Murong,
As long as I can find enough territory to go back, I will treat everyone to wine and meat..."
This soldier's usual method of acting as the boss and being a leader is to pay for such a trivial benefit, so that his subordinates will work hard. After listening to his words,
Immediately, these ten militiamen got up with much more energy. Wine and meat were in the territory, and they were still considered luxuries. Under normal circumstances, they really couldn't afford them...
Just as they climbed halfway up the mountain and were about to reach the top of the mountain, there were several big trees that covered the place a little densely, making the environment a little darker.
As soon as they walked into the woods, several arrows suddenly shot out from the woods without any warning.
"Puff!..."
Two militiamen were shot directly in the chest and fell down. Other militiamen were also more or less injured.
Su Xiuping reacted quickly and immediately took out a giant shield from his backpack to block it in front of him. He grabbed a Chimera machete with his other hand and knocked away a wooden arrow that was aimed at his face.
Then he shouted angrily,
"Everyone take medicine, who is attacking us? Everyone quickly find a place to hide..."
Before he could finish his voice, several more wooden arrows were shot out from behind. This time, more people were caught off guard and injured. Basically everyone was injured. Even he was shot with an arrow in his arm.
It was obvious that these people were surrounded, and at some point, the enemy cut off their retreat.
The Chimera sword in his hand fell to the hillside with a "clang!..." sound.
Then the crossbow arrows were fired non-stop from all around the woods. No one answered at all. They killed all the people they met without mercy.
These are basically wooden arrows, that is, crossbows that shoot wooden arrows.
Arrows with low attack power can't hold up in large numbers. The frequency of shooting is high. Everyone is hit by almost a dozen arrows, and the health bar is about to be emptied.
These people howled horribly in the woods, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, and the scene was extremely bloody.
Even now, they still didn't know who was attacking them. The arrows never stopped, and Su Xiuping had a look of disbelief on his face. He had been hit by countless arrows, and his whole body looked like a bloody hedgehog.
The little remaining body temperature flew away with the blood splashing,
It was obvious that he was being cared for.
It wasn't until Su Xiuping and the ten militiamen that no one made a sound, and they all fell in a pool of blood. At this time, dozens of people walked out of the woods. They all held crossbows and arrows in their hands, full of murderous intent.
The first woman with a hot body and enchanting face, who else could she be if she wasn't Murong enchanting?
