“Just as I said before, how can I sleep soundly on my side of the bed?
This sentence applies to us, and also to these local forces.”
He smiled faintly and pulled the knotweed to a secluded street and alley.
Lei Xiao, who was half leaning on the wall, then said, "Kukakusawa, do you think what would he choose to do when this city lord discovered that there was our power in the Demon Shadow Forest a few kilometers away?"
"Go back to the Lord, according to the other party's ruthless nature, he may gather all the power in the city under coercion and inducement, and launch an attack on us regardless of everything to eliminate the threat that is close to you."
On the other side, the knotweed thought for a moment and replied with a fist.
"Yes, if that's the case, the situation will be very troublesome."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "After solving the crisis of half-elves in the barrier and the half-orcs, the number one threat we are currently facing is undoubtedly this Kongqing Town.
Therefore, what we need to do is naturally to take action first and avoid the worst-case scenario.”
"So that's it. Lord Lord is indeed far-sighted!" After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the kohsiung looked admiring.
He signaled that the knotweed was not to be complimented, Lei Xiao asked again: "Knotweed, if it were you, according to the information we just obtained, how would you play this game of chess?"
"Go back to Lord Lord, since the city is 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 lord as much as possible."
After pondering for a moment, the knotweed clasped his fists again.
"Very good, keep talking."
While stroking his chin with his hand, Lei Xiao nodded.
"The subordinates believe that the power in the city that can be disintegrated is divided into three components in total.
First, there are those oppressed mercenaries besides the Blood Scorpion.
As long as we can use this part of our strength for our own use, our combat power will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
The second is the Shanglu Trade Fair. Judging from the description just now, the relationship between the two is obviously not harmonious.
Even if it is because of the other party’s huge background, it cannot be used by me.
At least it must keep the other party neutral. Judging from Fang Hai's previous performance, it should not be difficult to do this.
Third, those ordinary soldiers with low treatment can be allowed to turn to our side, and then, in cooperation with the mercenaries, their subordinates believe that this city will definitely be broken."
"You have a good idea, but you have overlooked two key points."
When we arrived at the entrance of the alley, two shaking drunk men walked by.
Lei Xiao then spoke: "First point, if we are trying to win over mercenaries or ordinary soldiers, once the city lord forces discover it, wouldn't we be alerted directly?
The second point is also the most critical point.
In terms of personal combat power alone, your strength is already the absolute combat power ceiling here. Do we still need to attack the city honestly?"
"Lord, what do you mean?"
Hearing this, the knotweed was stunned and then showed a sudden expression.
"That's right, it's the beheading operation!"
Nodded slightly, Lei Xiao smiled and said, "While killing the city lord's extremely loyal minions directly, cooperate with the three measures you just mentioned.
With such a two-pronged approach, this Kongqing Town will naturally fall completely under our control at the lowest price."
"Lord, wise!"
Hearing this, the knotweed couldn't help but reveal his sudden enlightenment: "Lord, when will we start to act?"
"Don't worry, it's not the time."
Motionally silence the scepter to lower his voice, Lei Xiao continued: "At this stage, even if we conquer this city, we do not have the ability to defend it.
After all, this Kongqing Town is one of the cities in this human country.
If blind actions attract a large army from this country, they will undoubtedly cause greater disasters.
Therefore, before this, I need to make two more layouts.
One of them is to obtain as much information as possible about this country, and the breakthrough point is the young president of the Shanglu Fair."
"I understand. Even if it is a side branch of the empire's wealthy Shanglu family, the information about this country that the other party has in his hands is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people, and even ordinary nobles."
Hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared on the thick face of the scepter.
"Yes, do you remember the description of this young president just now, Kombo?"
Directly opposite, Lei Xiao was tidying up his illusion cloak that was as thin as a cicada's wings and continued: "Because it is a sideline, the other party does not seem to be favored by the direct lineage who is in control of the Shanglu family, so he was assigned to such a remote place.
And this can be a great opportunity for us to connect with it.”
"What the Lord Lord said is that as long as you show your strength a little, you will promise to help the other party gain real power in the family."
Following Lei Xiao's thoughts, he thought for a moment, and the kohsiung pondered: "In this way, it will be a win-win situation for us and this young president.
Moreover, from a long-term perspective, it will be of great benefit to the future development of our territory.”
"Of course, this is just an ideal situation. If it really doesn't work, then you can only force the other party to submit."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao said again: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, then let's return to the Commercial and Land Fair just now."
Speaking of this, the two walked out of the alley on the corner of the street again and began to walk towards the block when they came just now.
At the same time, in the center of the city, somewhere in the lord's mansion.
In a spacious and bright hall, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe sat on the throne at the top, faintly exuding an extremely cold aura of a strong man.
On the left and right sides of him, there were a row of handsome young maids standing respectively.
At this time, despite the middle-aged man's expression, he looked gentle and unaggressive.
But the dozen maids around them were all trembling slightly because of fear, and they didn't even dare to breathe evenly. They were obviously very afraid of this middle-aged man. It seemed that the next second, the middle-aged man in front of them would turn around and tear them apart.
Just as the middle-aged man in brocade robe was leisurely closing his eyes to rest, a thin man in black trotted in from outside the door.
This person also exuded a fearful force, causing the already trembling maids to tremble again.
"Qi Bicheng Lord, the leader of the Blood Scorpion Mercenary Group, Squid Bone is asking for a visit."
