The next day, the whole town was covered with a gray shadow. The mayor was killed in the street, and the method was extremely cruel!
It was too rampant!
Oscar came to the scene after hearing the news. Wang Jian's body was taken away by his grief-stricken family. A captain of the guards said to him: "There are no living people in the houses next to him. He was killed before the town was killed."
The ground was covered with coagulated blood.
Oscar bent down and picked up a bloody black leaf, which was filled with wood energy. It was not a leaf that grew naturally.
At this time, a cold and sad voice sounded in his ears: "Why did he do it?"
Oscar raised his head and stood in front of him. A slender and plump beautiful woman in white clothes, Lin Bairong's eyes were slightly red, her face was as pale as paper, and her fists were clenched tightly. Obviously, she was silently enduring great pain.
"Please tell me the truth!"
Oscar didn't want to hide it, and sighed and said: "Six guards with good skills, but they didn't even have time to send out a distress signal, and were killed by magic in an instant. I think in the whole Baisong Town and even Baicheng, only Liu Rufeng has this kind of magic power."
Lin Bairong's body swayed, and she took a step back, barely standing still.
Heartbroken, extremely painful!
What echoed in Lin Bairong's heart was not resentment, but the picture of the three of them playing together when they were young. That was a warm picture that she often missed, and it was the most beautiful memory in her life. The lively figures of three innocent children were forever fixed in her memory.
In the past twenty years, the memory has gradually faded away... It has become so strange, cold, and cruel!
Why did it come to this! ?
Lin Bairong suppressed her grief and said, "What are you going to do?"
"After Liu Rufeng attacked me, he didn't leave the town!" Oscar raised his head and looked at the gray Baisong Town, his eyes became unusually solemn, "This basically confirms one fact, someone in the town is helping him behind the scenes! We must find out the mastermind first!"
Lin Bairong said in a firm tone: "I will help you find them. I want to make a personal end to this matter."
Oscar nodded. There was a kind of firmness in Lin Bairong's eyes. Since the matter was caused by three people, let's end it together!
Lin Bairong is not an ordinary person. She practices martial arts and is not weak. The division of warriors is similar to that of warlocks. The strength of warlocks' mana is determined by the magic vortex, and the strength of warriors' true qi comes from the strength of the sea of qi. The mana vortex is composed of a ring of spiral arms, and the sea of true qi is composed of stars.
1-10 stars are martial artists.
11-20 stars are warriors.
21-30 stars are martial artists
…
One-eyed has reached 21 stars, a martial artist-level master, and Lin Bairong has 18 stars, a leader among martial artists. She can also temporarily serve as the mayor, providing convenience for Oscar and protecting Oscar's safety.
The central square is surrounded by heavy forces.
Qin Yue walked up to Oscar and said excitedly, "It's basically done."
Oscar checked and said, "Find some large live animals, such as cows or horses, at least 30, and feed them well. Add some ghost grass to the feed."
Qin Yue couldn't understand and couldn't help asking, "Why is that?"
"Liu Rufeng's magic power is not weak, but he can't control three thousand zombies for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, he just wants to bring zombies into the town and let the dead demons kill the living demons on their own. These livestock eat the ghost grass, and then they are slaughtered in the Yin Gathering Formation. They can act as bait and attract zombies to gather here."
Qin Yue was not afraid at all, and asked excitedly, "How are you going to deal with the zombies?"
"This requires another formation."
Oscar kept it a secret.
At this time, the one-eyed man hurried over and said, "We have found some clues. There are painted trademarks on the weapons of the masked men. We restored the trademarks and identified them. It is basically confirmed that they are products of a regular military equipment merchant in Shicheng."
"Who is dealing with this military equipment merchant?"
"I haven't found it yet."
Now it is basically confirmed that Liu Rufeng's sponsor is from Baisong Town.
In the entire Baisong Town, except for military mercenaries, the Du family has the largest number of warriors. Only the Du family has the channels and ability to order a large number of military equipment.
Oscar murmured, "Could it be the mysterious sponsor, could it be Duan?"
There is one thing that does not make sense!
How could the Du family get the corpse of the half-orc?
Lin Bairong showed deep hatred: "I'll let the soldiers search the Du family!"
"Slow down, don't alert the enemy." Oscar frowned slightly, "The Du family is a small family. It shouldn't have such a strong power. I suspect that there are people behind Duan... Get the Du family information first."
This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Lin Bairong fully cooperated.
Oscar soon got detailed information about the Du family, hoping to find clues.
Duan was very cautious, and there was nothing in his business records that could arouse suspicion. The Du family's industries in the town are mainly gambling houses, hotels, and brothels, which are far less profitable than military weapons and materials, giving people a feeling of lack of ambition.
The Du family happened to be a martial arts research institution, with a large number of warriors going there to seek refuge, and supporting some powerful guests.
This is very problematic.
Those warriors who came to seek refuge and stayed at the Du family on the surface are probably the direct lineage warriors trained by the Du family, and the identity of guests is just a cover. But even so, the strength of the Du family is limited.
What happened to the orc corpse?
Oscar felt a little embarrassed. It was not right to take action now, and it was not right not to take action.
Suddenly, Oscar noticed a piece of information and immediately pointed it out and asked: "What is this record..."
"This is a record of purchasing meat food." One-eyed didn't care much. "The cost of training for warriors is not as high as that of warlocks, but in order to ensure a strong body, a large amount of fresh meat is consumed every day, plus medicinal supplements to strengthen muscles and bones and increase strength."
"Isn't this a bit too much?"
"It seems to be a bit."
Oscar estimated from the purchase volume that the Du family has 400-600 warriors, which is not a large number, but not a small number.
"The fresh meat purchased by the Du family all comes from a slaughterhouse in the south of the town. The Snow Wolf mercenaries and major hotels and taverns basically purchase meat from here. It is the largest meat market in the town."
Oscar put away the information and said to Lin Bairong: "I can now basically confirm that Duan is the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Lin Bairong showed a ruthless look: "Let the city defense army and mercenaries attack directly!"
"The Du family has a lot of hidden masters, plus Liu Rufeng. I'm afraid they are well prepared at this moment. The risk of direct attack is too great. We must think of a way they can't think of." Oscar paused and continued: "I have one... poison!"
One-eyed hurriedly said: "This won't work. The Du family will definitely check the meat before using it. Besides, poison is a banned item, and we can't buy much."
"So we need to make a special poison that is not only colorless and odorless, but also can't be discovered in advance."
"Is there such a Dingxi?"
"Just let me do it. I need the materials."
Lin Bairong opened the material warehouse in Baisong Town and let Oscar choose whatever he wanted.
Baisong Town is a town with a large flow of mercenaries. The materials are frequently traded in the market, so they are naturally not scarce.
Oscar found a herb called [Breathing Grass], which is non-toxic in itself. It will only temporarily close the Qi Sea, thereby slowing down the flow of true Qi, and also has the effect of lowering heartbeat and slowing breathing. It is generally used when lurking.
Oscar can use it to refine [Splitting Qi Powder], a special poison for warriors.
Splitting Qi Powder will not harm the body, so there are no symptoms. It targets the true Qi. Once the poisoned warrior circulates the true Qi, he will immediately find that the true Qi is like a wild horse running away, escaping everywhere, uncontrolled, and eventually tearing the meridians, causing great damage.
This poison will not be fatal, but will only make the warrior extremely painful and eventually lose his combat effectiveness. The toxicity will remain for about three or four days and be excreted from the body with metabolism. If the warrior does not use the true Qi during this process, then there will be no problem.
When Oscar was refining [Splitting Powder], he added several materials, which can be dissolved in water and are colorless and tasteless.
That afternoon.
One-Eye deliberately brought a dozen mercenaries to the house to find fault on the pretext of buying inferior meat. He searched almost the entire meat farm and injected poison into the fresh meat ordered by the Du family. When the plan succeeded, Oscar was relieved.
Everything is ready.
Tomorrow night is the night of the full moon.
There was silence in Baisong Town, and there was no sign of a disaster.
That night, Mu Alice, who had been in a coma for several days and nights, finally woke up!
Oscar put down a big stone hanging in his heart. He immediately ran to the hotel to visit. Alice didn't remember anything about the one or two days before she fell into a coma.
This is good.
So as not to leave a psychological shadow.
Alice was very weak. After drinking a few bottles of potion, some blood color returned to her pale face.
"Master, what's wrong with me?"
"It's okay. Rest for two days and everything will be fine."
Alice lay on the bed, her whole body as soft as noodles, she didn't even have the strength to sit up. Although Oscar kept silent, Alice knew in her heart that it was most likely another strange disease, and this time it seemed to be more serious than before. She was worried that she would fall into a coma one day and never wake up again.
This scared Alice.
Mu Alice asked pitifully: "Master, will Alice die?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Oscar didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and gently hugged the girl before saying: "You will not only live, but you will live better than anyone else."
Alice felt Oscar's body temperature, her heart was full of fear and fear. She was not afraid of death, but she became more and more dependent on Oscar. If one day she had to leave him, what a terrible thing it would be!
Oscar comforted Alice a few words and had to leave.
Because the duel is about to begin!
This is a duel between an apprentice and a master!
…………
This is a dark secret room, with a two-meter-high magic platform in the center, and sixteen candles placed beside it, all burning with strange blue flames.
Duan said in an unhappy tone, "Your impulsiveness almost exposed the plan! I suspect they have already found me!"
"So what?" Liu Rufeng leaned on his staff and walked up to the magic platform step by step, saying hoarsely, "Nothing can be stopped."
Duan thought so.
Even if they found out, it would be too late!
A total of 3,000 bronze-skinned and iron-boned zombies, including 500 orcs, are enough to destroy 10,000 regular troops. The armed forces in Baisong Town, even if the Snow Wolf mercenaries are included, are only four or five thousand. The strength of the two sides is very different, and with the Du family as an insider, Baisong Town is powerless even if it knows the plan.
Duan stared at the wall, which is the family's venomous snake totem.
The whole plan has no reason to fail.
I just don't know why, but I always feel uneasy.
Footsteps sounded outside the door.
Du Jian walked in and reported: "All 500 zombies are hidden, and 500 family warriors are on standby. Everything is ready, just waiting for orders."
"Good!"
Du An breathed a sigh of relief.
Baisong Town must not have thought that the battle would start from the inside.
Liu Rufeng stood on the magic platform with a hunched figure and said in a hoarse voice: "After the city gate is opened, I will guide the zombies outside in. On the night of the full moon, the soul fire is strong, and the zombies will become extremely cruel. Then there will be a massacre. It will only take one night to kill the whole town!"
"It's finally about to start."
Du An showed ecstasy.
It's finally time to reap the results!
Liu Rufeng was also very excited.
His ideal is right in front of him.
After tonight.
There will be no more pain here!
There will be no more hatred here!
There will be no more deception here!
Baisong Town will become a kingdom of death, and everyone will be sublimated and immortal in death!
Liu Rufeng stood on the magic platform and suddenly raised his hands high. The blue flames on the candles around him suddenly became extremely vigorous, and the whole secret room was reflected in a layer of blue.
"My army!"
"Wake up!"
In a certain forest, arms stretched out from the cold soil, and stiff and terrible bodies stood up from the forest, covered with black soil or white snow. In just a few minutes, the whole grove was full of zombies. These zombies were wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands, almost armed to the teeth.
The shrill howls echoed in the woods.
One after another, lingering.
The black clouds gradually separated, revealing a bright full moon.
In the dull eyes of the zombies, blue flames suddenly emerged, blooming with fierce, terrifying, and cruel light. They felt the evil call of the dead magician, they felt the breath of countless living demons, and they began to act!
The zombies advanced silently, in a mighty force, heading straight for Baisong Town.
This is a silent army.
This is a dead army.
Hatred, anger.
This is the will instilled by the manipulator!
He will pay tribute with his life and blood!
This battle started by two lunatics finally broke out unstoppably!
