When Ling Xiao met Li Fanghua, the lord of Hongyan City, in the city, he knew that the battle had begun.
When he followed Ling Tianyi to the city lord's mansion, Ling Xiao glanced at the sky. The bright color above the sky had disappeared almost. Instead, it was slightly dimmed. The guys with Kun's strength would not cherish every second of the battle after the sun set. Although he didn't know why they could not fight under the sun, as long as they entered the night, they would be their world.
Ling Xiao vaguely felt something. One day in the future, a person with Kun's strength would definitely be defeated by the shackles that could not act in the daytime.
When he saw the city lord Li Fanghua, Li Fanghua was sitting upright in the hall. Although he had a calm expression on his face, the expression on his face when he saw Ling Xiao betrayed him. The flash of eyes contained surprise and a slight anger, which made Ling Xiao even more convinced of his previous judgment that Li Fanghua, the city lord of Hongyan City, wanted his life in 70% of the 100% of the city lord Li Fanghua.
When he set foot on Qiankun Island, he never cut off his enemies. Ling Xiao said in his own contempt.
"You have seen all the things outside the city?" Li Fanghua said in the first sentence when he met, and he asked directly with some bad intentions.
This was said to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao also lit his head when he heard this and said, "Well, I saw it all."
"Since you are a hero from Shanyang City, you naturally know what you should do. If this matter is heard by the people in the city and causes panic, don't blame me for being ruthless." The Hongyan City Lord was not very polite in his speech, and his tone was indebted.
Ling Xiao also lit his head when he heard this and said, "I know this naturally. Please rest assured that the city lord is, we will definitely keep our mouths tight."
The Lord of Hongyan pulled his cuffs, and this action was obviously a little disrespectful during the conversation. Ling Tianfang frowned, but it didn't happen. Only Li Fanghua said, "I know what you are in Shanyang City, and I know that you have made a good reputation with the forbidden spell scroll you picked up. However, if the scroll is used up, it's better not to tell your identity in the city now. Anyway, you can't resist so many ferocious beasts now. This battle is not something you can do for you."
Li Fanghua was also a little afraid of Ling Xiao. In front of this great enemy, what comforted the people was the hearts of the people. If the city was in chaos, then his own resistance would be useless. At this moment, if the uninformed people knew that Ling Xiao’s “big hero” came, it would inevitably shake the morale of the army. The people didn’t know, but he knew that the scroll was not as good as waste paper after it was used up.
Moreover, Ling Xiao could not participate in this battle to defend the city. Not to mention that his city family is very powerful, the old man Mu Xingtian has been stolen by this unfilled guy, but he will not repeat Mu Xingtian's mistakes.
Ling Xiao never knew that Li Fanghua was in his heart, but he had already had a strategy in his heart, and he immediately followed Li Fanghua's thoughts.
Then, Li Fanghua spoke and added, "In addition, since you are the ones holding the Seven Stars of the Universe Seal, I will give you the corresponding courtesy, and with my guards, I will arrange accommodation for several people."
Ling Xiao bowed his hand and smiled, "Since that's the case, then thank you for your kindness."
Li Fanghua slapped his palm, a young man came in from outside the door, nodded at Ling Xiao and the others, and spoke angrily: "Someone, please follow me."
Ling Xiao nodded his head, Ling Tianfang and others followed behind him, and also went with him.
When Ling Xiao and others left the door and the footsteps gradually faded away, Li Fanghua waved his hand, and the door of the house suddenly closed. Ling Tian stood in front of Li Fanghua, with his hands behind him, looking like you would beat him and scold him.
Li Fanghua picked up the tea bowl next to him, took a sip, and said, "Do you want me to speak out first, huh?"
Ling Tian spoke, and his tone was a little bad: "You told me before that he was an unforgivable person, but he did not say that he was the one who saved Shanyang City before. You deceived us first."
Li Fanghua put down the tea bowl, looked at Ling Tianyi with his eyes, and said, "So what? Isn't the iron rule of your mercenary group just to fulfill the employer's order?"
Ling Jie said out loudly: "City Lord, you are right, but you do whatever you want. We have already understood your thoughts and actions. So now we will take the initiative to withdraw from all the mercenary groups in Hongyan City. The world is vast and there is a place where you can fight. This is the decision of our mercenary group leader and the decision of our members."
After saying that, Ling Tian said, "I'll say goodbye." Then, the group turned around and didn't want to talk too much with Li Fanghua, but heard Li Fanghua's voice sounding quietly behind him: "What, are you going to leave? But you can't leave anymore. The curfew has been implemented in this Red Rock City, and the tide of ferocious beasts is waiting for you outside..."
Ling Tian turned his head, snorted coldly, then pushed the door out, and when he closed the door, he threw a calm word at Li Fanghua, "There is no need for the city lord to worry too much about this. After all, our mercenary group grew up in this city, so it will naturally help protect your city. After this war is over, we will leave, and you will not have to worry about it."
At the end of the words, the door creaked and closed.
In the hall, Li Fanghua's face looked ashen and said, "You can't leave if you want to leave."
On the steps outside, Ling Ming took a step forward, caught up with Ling Tianyi, and asked, "Captain, we have broken our faces with the city lord so much. What are we going to do now that the ferocious beasts attack the city?"
"Watch the changes." Ling Tianyi said.
"How to wait and see what's going on?" Ling Ming was a little confused.
Ling Jie answered Ling Ming's question instead of Ling Tianyi: "This Red Rock City is well protected. The defensive ban set up by the first city lord has a total of four levels. The defense ability is unprecedented. It will never happen that it was broken after three nights like Shanyang City. In addition, the strength of the defenders and the Red-clothed Imperial Guards in the city, it should be no problem to block the waves of ferocious beasts."
"We have already had a quarrel with the city lord, and with our strength, we cannot compare with the military-oriented strength of the Red-Clothed Imperial Guard, so it is better to watch the changes. This defensive restriction can last for a long time, less than one ten thousand, and we cannot take action."
"But those people are fighting hard. If it were us..." Ling was obviously elm-headed. He didn't understand Ling Tianyi's decision clearly and was still asking relentlessly.
Ling Jie was also a little annoyed with explanation and spoke directly, "What is the purpose of the city that is mainly to kill Ling Xiao? Isn't it because of fear and jealous? When we can still hold on in the city, we volunteer to do it, not to mention whether we will die there. If we steal their limelight, what do you think of City Lord Li Fanghua? Hum?"
After Ling Ming was said this, he understood what he meant. He immediately became silent and stopped talking.
The group walked forward and prepared to find Ling Xiao and others.
Li Fanghua wanted to push the door out, but the door in front of him was pushed open. The next moment, a spear was directly stretched between his neck. Fang Tianheliang, the captain of the Red Guard, had a fierce expression on his face. The tip of the spear was almost half a finger away from Li Fanghua's neck. Li Fanghua raised his hands and said with a smile on his face: "It would be bad if we saw this look for people outside. I thought we were going to fight for power and profit."
Fang Tianheliang raised his gun and walked up step by step. Li Fanghua also stepped back with great awareness. The gate closed behind Fang Tianheliang. Fang Tianheliang said, "Have you hidden all the destruction of the fourth ban on the city gate?"
Li Fanghua had long expected Fang Tianheliang to ask such a question, and then he chuckled and said, "That's right."
"You!" Fang Tianheliang said as he sent the spear in his hand towards the front. Li Fanghua quickly took a step back so that his throat would really pierce the spear. "How dare you do this? The four-level ban on the outermost periphery is the most important one. If this is missing now, do you know what consequences will be!"
"Of course I know what the consequences are, but you, a soldier who only knows how to kill, must not know what the consequences will be if the news is about to go out." A sneer floated on the corner of Li Fanghua's mouth, and he dodged sideways, put his hands behind him and stood there.
"Shaking the morale of the army, this is a fatal matter. This time the tide of ferocious beast attacks is much more powerful than the one in Shanyang City, not to mention that the nine-headed Xianglong is helping. What would the soldiers think if they know that their defense is gone?"
"Every soldier who fights, he has a red rock mark that freely travels between the barriers, and will be eliminated when he dies. They go out to hunt and resist the ferocious beasts, and they are determined to do so because they have the red rock mark on their bodies. So..." Fang Tianheliang stopped talking as he said, unable to continue. He looked at Li Fanghua coldly and said, "So you want to do this."
Li Fanghua still had the same expression of disagreement: "Ha, what I want to do, you should also say it."
"Use my soldiers to rush out to serve as the first wave of human city walls. They were sure that their mark could lead them to the barriers, but what they didn't expect was that the fourth barrier had long been destroyed, and their end was death." Fang Tianheliang said coldly.
"It seems that your brain is not too stupid," Li Fanghua smiled and said, "That's what I think."
"That's a thousand..."
"Shut up!" Li Fanghua rarely used words to push Fang Tianheliang back: "If you can find a better way, then you can do it! I took the lives of hundreds of soldiers, and I deceived them. If I don't do this, we will not last the second night under the attack of these ferocious beasts. Now, it will take two days for us to turn defeat into victory as long as we have these two days!"
Fang Tianheliang suddenly spoke, "You mean, the stuff that has the bottom of the box has not been used."
Li Fanghua lit his head and said, "I want to use the Red Rock Array."
Fang Tianheliang had a stunned expression on his face. After a while, he spoke: "You... are you crazy?"
Li Fanghua walked to the edge of the table, picked up the teacup on the table, swallowed a sip of tea with a shallow mouthful of tea, and smiled and said, "That's right, I'm crazy, why? If you can think of a better way, the lives of your thousand guards can be preserved."
There was a solemn meaning in his tone, but the tone sounded a little uncomfortable in Fang Tianheliang's ears.
