To complete the task smoothly, Stoff brought a full 3,000 black armor soldiers this time, but in order to rush to Visen Town quickly, the supplies he brought with him were far from sufficient. There was not enough food, no warm clothing, and even the replenishment of consumed weapons and armor was far from sufficient. It was precisely because of this that he had to impose heavy taxes as soon as he took office.
Although he understood that the heavy taxation would be extremely disadvantageous to his subsequent rule, faced with the increasingly tense food supply and the approaching harsh winter, he had no choice but to resort to this inferior strategy. However, he believed that in front of his 3,000 elite black armored army, no townsmen dared to have any riots, not even the powerful Yang Ling would be an exception!
In the imperial capital, one can have wind and rain as desired. Stoff believes that Visen Town will not be an exception either. As long as he consolidates his rule in Visen Town, he can choose a day to return to the imperial capital to enjoy life, and this remote territory of Visen Town will naturally have servants to take care of it for him.
As long as the empire is constantly supplied with beast crystal nuclei, minerals and wood materials, the king's grace will not be far away. I believe that His Majesty, who has always been generous, will not begrudge an earl's title. In this way, his position in the family will rise to a higher level.
After a moment of contemplation, Stov didn't beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "Brother Yang Ling, I came in a bit of a hurry this time, no money, no food, not even a place to stay. Would you mind lending me a few crystal coins to help me out?"
"No problem, sir. How many do you need? Just let me know!" Looking at Stov's insincere smile, Yang Ling knew that this guy had finally shown his true colors and hypocritically said: "It's my honor to serve the lord!"
At the negotiating table, the one who makes the first move is not necessarily the loser, but the winner will never make the first move and will never reveal his bottom card all at once.
Zhen Si Tuo, this so-called lord, first lost his patience. Yang Ling smiled coldly without a trace. The opponent was confident in his own strength and not only allowed his soldiers to smash his own wine shop and brewery but also personally led a large group of warriors to extort him, simply forcing himself to oppose him. For now, let him be proud for a few days, but one day he will make this pig leader know what suffering is, what it means to be in unbearable pain.
A gentleman takes revenge, ten years later is not too late!
Kassy and the others were still resentful about losing the tavern and brewery, but Yang Ling didn't mind, knowing what it meant to be light and heavy. Either don't move at all, or strike with full force, making the opponent never able to turn over again. For now, act low-key, eliminate the enemy's hostility and guard, and then give him a fatal blow at the critical moment, believing that by then, Stoff, this so-called lord, would have no tears to cry.
Yang Ling was secretly calculating, but Stov was very unexpected. Originally, with Yang Ling's outstanding strength in Visen Town, he thought it would take some effort, but unexpectedly, this guy Yang Ling was so decisive.
After a moment of contemplation, he decided to go all out and take advantage of the situation to make a big gain. With a pretentious calm tone, he said: "My demands are not high, just 100,000 Purple Crystal Coins will do!"
One million amethyst coins?
When Sutorof said that, Kassy and Garluk were shocked, they didn't expect this guy to open his mouth and ask for 1 million purple crystal coins.
"Yibi Li, one million purple crystals, you're not even worth robbing, you're just a bandit!" Yang Ling remained calm and composed, but the barbarian Galuk was furious, waving his massive axe that was as big as a cartwheel, wanting to split Stov's pale face in two with a single swing.
"Hum, how dare you!"
Kagaru raised his axe, and Stov's guards did not show weakness. With a 'whoosh' sound, they drew their weapons one after another. Several magicians whispered a few words, and a huge magical power condensed in the air instantly.
At the same time, with the mysterious man in a cloak whispering inaudibly, Yang Ling felt a cold air descending from the sky, like a poisonous snake writhing around his body. Soon, he felt his limbs becoming increasingly numb.
Sorcery?
In a state of great shock, Yang Ling did not dare to be the slightest bit slow and exerted all his strength to activate the protective magic. The violent magic collided with the cold and gloomy chill, producing a series of faint crackling sounds.
After missing the first strike, the mysterious figure in a cloak gritted his teeth and began to mutter again. Soon, Yang Ling felt an intense chill spreading rapidly throughout his body, crazily piercing through him from head to toe. In an instant, his pores shrunk extremely, a thin layer of frost condensed on his skin, making it hard for him to breathe, as if all the blood in his body had frozen into ice blocks.
At the critical moment, Yang Ling quickly swallowed a few magic beast blood beads, and with all his might, he operated the fusion of green life energy in his body to drive out the cold air bit by bit. At this juncture of life and death, the precious and practical magic beast blood bead once again fully demonstrated its value, rapidly replenishing the consumed magic power.
Soon after a crisp "bang" explosion, Yang Ling successfully dispersed the eerie and cold air. At the same time, the mysterious person wearing a cloak opposite him shook his whole body, as if he had been subjected to some inexplicable attack.
After a hum, the mysterious person wearing a cloak looked at Yang Ling in an unbelievable way, pondered for a moment and whispered a few words to Stov's ear. The latter listened, immediately shocked, looking at the mysterious person with a serious face, then looking at Yang Ling on the opposite side who was calm and composed, his face became more and more gloomy.
He had originally wanted to let the warriors give each other a warning shot, so as to get more benefits. But after realizing that even the powerful Guardian Warriors were secretly defeated by Yang Ling, he had to reevaluate their strength. The more crystal coins they could get, the better, but if it meant both sides would suffer greatly or lose heavily, then it wasn't worth it.
"Hmm, impressive. The lord is indeed powerful. However, with such a majestic display of magic power, I wonder if the lord finds the lighting here insufficient and wants to create an opening in the roof?"
After taking a deep breath, Yang Ling stopped the impulsive Kasi and Garuk and other barbarians with disdainful words. It's not time to take action yet, and he believed that the other side was just testing his strength, and now it would be detrimental for anyone to tear their faces apart.
As expected, Yang Ling was unmoved by the offer, and Stoff's face fell as he clenched his teeth. He took a swig of rum to calm himself down before gesturing to his guards to lower their weapons. "Sir, if it's really difficult with the crystal coins, we can also just allocate a place for us to live within the castle walls. That way, my brothers won't have to suffer from the cold every day!"
The heart of Sima Zhao is known to everyone on the street!
When Stoff said that, Yang Ling knew that this guy had finally dug out the old bottom. Wanting money was fake, forcing himself to hand over Visen Castle was probably his real purpose for coming here.
"Lord, the crystal coins are no problem, it's just a mere 1 million purple crystal coins, take them as you please!" Yang Ling said with a mysterious smile. "However, accommodations might be a bit difficult, recently the town's food supply has been dwindling, I plan to raise a batch of salo pigs within the castle walls. If your esteemed brothers can't eat due to being neighbors with a group of pigs, I'd be guilty!"
Ready to raise a batch of duroc pigs?
Kassy and Garluk wanted to laugh but didn't dare, their stomachs cramping up from holding it in. Stov was so angry he was grinding his teeth, not daring to directly turn hostile or lash out, wanting to retort but unsure how, his face growing darker by the second.
