Chapter 146: The Rout of the Black Crow City Garrison

  Because Lang Ning had to prepare for war, he didn't have time to send a message in person and instead entrusted several people with the task. After the fall of Black Crow City, the garrison left behind in Rhein Castle immediately fell into chaos, with almost half of the troops fleeing Rhein Castle in an attempt to escape to the underground city and reunite with Zha Gu Nade. Unfortunately for them, Lang Ning had already set up two cavalry brigades and four infantry brigades outside, and these fleeing soldiers only had one fate awaiting them - that of being ruthlessly annihilated.

  Although the situation in Lain City was very chaotic and it seemed that sending out a small force could easily take it down, Lang Ning was a cautious person. He believed that war was something that couldn't be taken lightly, and one had to go all out, no matter how weak the opponent was. Therefore, he had many things to arrange in a practical manner.

  However, everyone with discerning eyes knows that Lang Ning has no way of meeting Le Zhe. Le Zhe's departure leaves people with the impression that he was squeezed out by Lang Ning. If Lang Ning were to show up again to see him off, heaven knows what kind of rumors would appear.

  To avoid the turbulent area, Han Jin and his party passed through the gorge from the original road, and after a few days, they arrived at Nuremberg. Now Nuremberg has become a ruin, the power of nature's water and the magic released by the magician are completely different, the magician only temporarily borrows the power of the elements, the impact caused by the magic will soon disappear. Lang Ning was diverting water to flood the city, and after the fact, he did not re-route the Rhine River, the wheat fields around Nuremberg have become a vast swamp, while Nuremberg looks like an isolated island in the ocean, the scene is very desolate.

  As for how many cave dwellers can survive in the city, this question is no longer important. Finding food in the swamp is too difficult, and most of the deep-sea races cannot swim, they can only die of hunger.

  For the past few days, perhaps it was because he had felt the harmonious atmosphere of the team, or perhaps it was because he was by Han Jin's side, this lifesaver who made him feel safe. Lei Zhe's mood had gradually become more cheerful, but when he saw the scene in front of him, his face began to darken again. Guessing that Lang Ning had done something and actually seeing Lang Ning do something were two completely different things! The desolate atmosphere was stimulating his eyes, stimulating his heart.

  Han Jin and others circled around a big circle, entered the Bait Alliance, and in one month, the Bait Alliance had undergone earth-shaking changes. The Chief Security Officer of Bait City, Woodro, had already launched a war, but for him, the situation was extremely unfavorable!

  Han Jin's appearance has disrupted the rhythm of many people in a certain area, and Woodrow is undoubtedly one of them, and also one of the more painful ones. Strictly speaking, both Lord Disemark and Zaguined are victims of Han Jin. Without Han Jin, the secrets of the underground city would not have been revealed, and Disemark would not have been so passive. As for Zaguined, in order to protect the underground city, his own lair was occupied by others, and his pain is imaginable. Unfortunately, some people have already realized Han Jin's existence but do not take it seriously because Han Jin is just a small figure, while others remain completely unaware.

  Woodrow's original plan was to wait until the four city lords' armies and Zagunede had fought each other to a standstill, then suddenly launch an attack, allowing him to seize control of the Beit Alliance without expending much effort. The heavily damaged Zagunede would be forced to retreat deep into the underground city and wouldn't pose a threat to him for some time. Woodrow wasn't stupid; although he was currently cooperating with Zagunede, he knew exactly what kind of person Zagunede was. Therefore, he had not only calculated against the four city lords but also against Zagunede, knowing that he would eventually clash with Zagunede.

  His plan was perfect, but unfortunately, plans never change faster than his schemes were exposed in advance, the four city masters had already detected his ambition, in this situation, he could only launch ahead of time, because the ruling city master can rightfully strip him of all his power!

  The army cards and civilian cards that were originally prepared can no longer be used, the four city owners posted notices everywhere, exposing the conspiracy between Woodrow and Zagunede, of course, their words would definitely be very exaggerated, so as to arouse the fear and hatred of the people.

  A perfect plan. Was foiled by a single hand. Turned into nothing but a wisp of smoke. Woodrow's situation is extremely passive. What was supposed to be effortless, what was supposed to sweep across the entire Bite Alliance, now seems so ridiculous. Now all Woodrow can do is shrink back into the city and struggle to catch his breath.

  However, there is a saying that goes like this: "When the country is in chaos, the people suffer." Woodrow, although struggling militarily and politically, was after all a great magician. He had gathered many high-ranking professionals around him and secretly accepted many students. He sent these people out to engage in guerrilla warfare with the four city lords' armies or to raid supply towns, causing many civilian casualties. The harm caused was not much different from that of the Vampire Guard.

  All the way. Han Jin and others encountered many refugees with their families. They also learned about the situation in Bait Alliance. But they had no intention of interfering with the direction of Bait Alliance. The border town was always going north. Finally, they walked out of Bait Alliance.

  Relying on Han Jin's earth escape technique, they traveled at an extremely fast speed this time. Moreover, it was very comfortable. Sitting on the giant turtle's back and enjoying the scenery was enough. It only took half a month from start to finish before they arrived at Gou Ya City.

  What?

  Time has passed. The isolated city of Lone Cliff remains unchanged. No matter how fiercely the outside world is, the people here continue to live in tranquility. Holding the highest power in the city are the Merchant Guild Alliance and the Mercenary Association. They have never intervened in external disputes.

  Xier's home has been mortgaged out, according to Mo Xinkai, it takes a series of complicated procedures and a lot of time to get the house back. Han Jin and others can only live in the hotel for the time being. The next day, they went to the Mercenary Guild again, took on several tasks that were not too difficult or too easy, all of which were hunting 7th or 8th level magic beasts, then casually found a place to eat something, preparing to rest for a day, and tomorrow morning go to the Tala Xia mountain range through the transmission array.

  As a city that stands alone, the prosperity of Lonely Cliff City is not inferior to that of Holy Crown City. On the contrary, the consumption level here is much higher than that of Holy Crown City.

  Many mercenaries gather here, their money comes and goes quickly, they spend their days in danger seeking survival, they urgently need to release their emotions, encountering what suits their mind, such as fine wine, beautiful women, some people even spare no expense.

  The place where Mo Xinke was looking for was very quiet, with no messy things, just for people to eat. The hall had about a dozen tables, all of which were filled with people at this moment. The situation of the few tables near the window was very unique. The guests were composed of more than 20 boys and girls, the oldest of whom looked like they were only 23 or 24 years old, and each of them wore a magic robe.

  Actually, Han Jin is not that old either. Xian Ni Er is an elf and a special case, can't be viewed with human perspective, but they have a mountain-stabilizing treasure, Mo Xin Ke this guy if he grows a goatee, saying he's already thirty would be believable!

  Among the group of young people, the most eye-catching was a woman with her back to the hall. She sat alone at a table, and those young people chatted very enthusiastically, but no one came to disturb her meal.

  Magic. The cloak and long robe covered her body, nothing could be seen from behind, but every time she stretched out her hand to hold the wine glass, grasped or put down the utensils, a pair of white and delicate hands would be exposed, her fingers were slender, the back of her hand was crystal clear, emitting an enticing glow.

  Several mercenaries beside Han Jin's table couldn't help but glance at the woman from time to time, and even her hands were so delicate, how could her appearance be?

  Just then, a young man wearing the same magic robe rushed in hastily and exclaimed breathlessly: "It won't do, no one is willing to go!"

  "We're already open for business. The prices aren't low anymore, are they?" a young man who looked like he was of high status frowned and said.

  "Isn't it said that there's a red vanguard squad with great strength? Have you found them?" another young man asked.

  "I found one, but they heard we were going to the Nine-Headed Snake's Nest and immediately refused to sign with me...". The young man showed a hesitant expression.

  "How is it?" asked the young man of high status.

  "They also said we're fed up with living and want to go seek death."

  "What a disappointment." The high-ranking young man let out a light sigh: "Someone so timid and weak will become a mercenary? They're not even as good as us rookie mages who have just started training!"

  Those young people burst out laughing, but apart from them, the other tables were all occupied by mercenaries. However, no one was willing to mess with a group of obvious rookies, so they all pretended not to have heard.

  "Go back to the Mercenary Guild and cancel our original quest. Hmm... we can get a higher reward this way. Take us to the Nine-Headed Snake's Lair, 5,000 gold coins as the reward, no matter what we gain, we'll split it with them."

  "If we still can't find a mercenary like this, then we should consider changing cities." another young man said.

  "I told you so at the time, don't come to Guanyu City, but you didn't believe me! I think we're going to waste this trip." a female magician added.

  "Do you want to earn this money?" Lei Zhe suddenly said in a low voice.

  "Stop messing around! Go to the Nine-Headed Snake's lair! Even the Red Spearhead Squad doesn't dare to take it on, let alone us." said Xian Ni'er.

  "You think I became a 7th rank professional like this? Ray smiled: "Tara Xia mountain range... Hehe, I'm more familiar with it than you guys!"

  "What can proficiency prove? Can it prove you can knock down a nine-headed snake?"

  "I know of an abandoned nine-headed snake lair, why don't we just take them there?"

  "This... isn't this cheating?" Mo Xinkuo said.

  It serves them right.

  "Lei Zhe chuckled and said: "Later, I'll follow that fool out and find an opportunity to chat with him. If his contract only mentions the Nine-Headed Snake's Nest, then I'll take the task! What do you guys think?""

  "But they're looking for a mercenary group, aren't they? At least a small squad of mercenaries." Mosiko said.

  "This is easy, let's go out together, I'll follow that fool, you guys go register a mercenary team immediately."
