While Chen Xing was "playing games" with Su Na, a big event happened in Beauty Town, more than a hundred kilometers away.
Orchid Town, Roast Duck Town, and Beauty Town are distributed in a triangle. They are about 100 kilometers away from each other. They share a dirt road leading to Longshi Town. The bifurcation is at the "Hanged Skeleton".
The three towns are joint defense towns, which means they help each other in times of danger. After all, this place is more than a thousand kilometers away from a big town like Longshi Town. We are really going to run into trouble. It will take a week to mobilize troops from Longshi Town, and the day lilies are even cold.
The three towns usually have business contacts and some human contacts. For example, when Chen Xing took over Orchid Town, the other two mayors came to give gifts and congratulate him.
When this happened, the mayor of Beauty Town, An Bixi, was moving his slightly fat body, leaning on the desk in the study room to check this month's accounts with a magnifying glass.
As a middle-aged man, Anbixi is facing a mid-life crisis. Thinning hair, obesity, and declining strength. Being immersed in trivial matters all day long, lacking exercise and entertainment, causing physical and mental exhaustion during leisure time, chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and high blood lipids are eroding the body.
He was born into a declining aristocratic family in Crow City, and was promoted to guard at the age of twenty-seven. Because his family was in ruins, he was sent to this desolate place where birds did not lay eggs to serve as the mayor.
To put it nicely, it means guarding one side; to put it worse, it means dispatching troops to the frontier. However, after all, he is the leader of a town, and in this remote area, he is the emperor of the country.
His only hobby is women, so he named the town Beauty Town in the hope of attracting many beauties to stop here. He married three wives and gave birth to nine children. The eldest has gone to college in Gray Point City, and the youngest is still nursing.
The eldest wife was introduced by her family and she was brought here when she took office. The second and third eldest children were all female mercenaries passing by. His status is not high, but as the mayor of the town, he has everything he needs.
Originally, he wanted to marry a few more, but he was short of money, and now his family was almost struggling to make ends meet.
There are only a few sources of income in Edge Town, and the tax revenue generated by hard work for one year is less than 10,000 gold coins. Although it seems like a lot, that's for a bachelor. For such a big family, they are barely even well-off.
The eldest son said that he was looked down upon by others in the city, and he was afraid that he would not be able to find a good wife in the future, so he wanted to buy an armed Cricket to support his appearance. No kidding, that's a third of the town's tax revenue for the year.
Fortunately, a big benefactor came from the neighboring Orchid Town this year. The mayor of the town, Chen Erliu, was extremely rich. He spent tens of thousands of gold coins to build a mansion, and all the high-end equipment made him dizzy.
As for Chen Erliu, he knew the details of the other party. His former name was Chen Xing, and he was the captain of the third team of the Orchid Town Public Security Team. I had offended the Yang family of Gray Corner City before, but I didn't expect that the old mayor of Orchid Town was actually a hermit master.
Later, I heard that I had offended some noble person and was exiled to the Black Death Continent. I don't know how I got this bad luck, but I came back brazenly and brought back a large sum of money. The people who invested this and that were really envious.
But speaking of it, Mayor Chen Da is quite generous. Last time he sent two boxes of red wine, the other party immediately responded with a big gift. He is rich and will have to move around more in the future.
Compared to the iron rooster in Roast Duck Town, he is simply in the sky and on the earth. Look at people, this is called a mayor.
Thanks to Mayor Chen Da, the three towns are relatively close to each other. If one town develops, the other two towns can also benefit. Just saying that the mansions were built some time ago, and the pockets of the craftsmen in the two towns were greatly enriched.
The people below have become rich and their spending power has increased, so naturally there will be more tax revenue.
He made a rough calculation and found that this year's tax revenue was three to five thousand more than in previous years. But you still can't buy armed crickets. They are toys for rich people, not for little ones like them.
Aristocrats can spend money. Even he, the mayor of the town, rides in a pickup truck. How can a little brat still want to buy a sports car?
He told his eldest son that if he wanted to find a beautiful wife, he had to work harder. The strength has improved, what woman doesn’t?
"S-lord!"
The study door was suddenly pushed open, and the assistant ran in in a panic.
"What are you doing?" Anbisi moved down from his desk and looked at the middle-aged assistant who had been with him for more than 20 years with some displeasure.
"The patrol found a corpse... a corpse..." The assistant ran quickly and was out of breath. He held it in for a while before shouting, "King of Corpses!"
The Corpse King is a giant living dead who walks aimlessly in the wilderness. He has lord-level strength and moves a little slowly. He feeds on the living dead or other mutated creatures and generally does not leave the depths of the wilderness.
From the assistant's panicked expression, we could guess that the Corpse King was heading towards Beauty Town.
"Fuck you!" An Bixi couldn't help but yelled, how could such a misfortune happen to him? However, he is the leader of a town after all. He has guarded this wilderness for more than 20 years and quickly regained his composure.
"Have you found out the cause of the abnormal movement? How far is it and when will it arrive?" He asked a series of questions with a gloomy face.
"The reason is unknown. We are still two hundred and seventy kilometers away from the town. We expect to arrive tomorrow morning!" the assistant replied.
"Okay, I understand." Anbixi paused and ordered, "Immediately arrange vehicles and escorts to send the three ladies and children to Longshi Town for refuge, and then notify the deputy mayor and the city garrison captain to come to Lanhua , Roast Duck Town asks for help.”
"Yes!" The assistant trotted away.
At the same time, in the wilderness two or seventy kilometers away, a huge figure was moving slowly.
The skin ulcerated, exposing the red muscles underneath. The muscles were intertwined like a python, full of power.
It looks slow, but only visually. The movements are clumsy and slow, but they are not slow at all. The giant took tens of meters in one step and reached a speed of more than thirty kilometers per hour. With every step he took, the ground shook, and the gravel jumped half a meter high, leaving huge footprints behind him.
There is a raised earth mountain behind the giant. There were two figures standing on the top of the mountain, which looked particularly abrupt in this deserted place.
Both of them were wearing robes, and they were both standing with their hands behind their backs, and their posture was somewhat proud. The robe is bright in color, obviously made of high quality and of great value. The rope around the waist seems simple, but it is strung with various colored gems and small gold and silver rings. The silver is like water, and the gold is dark. It must be rare mithril and fine gold.
If Chen Xing were here at this moment, he would definitely curse secretly, "Why is this an old dog!"
One of them was Leandre Ralph, the elder of the Red Dragon Principality. He met Chen Xing twice. The first time he was beaten stupid by the former mayor, and the second time he was honest and polite, but he didn't like him very much.
"Old guy, in my impression you have always had a quick temper and tough methods. Why do you like to use such dirty tricks now?"
The speaker was another old man with white hair and a slight mockery on his face.
Leander snorted, rather unhappy, "You mean to say that I have a simple mind but strong limbs?"
The white-browed old man laughed and said, "Old friend, you are serious. I am just curious. There is just a small town guard in that town. Even if you lose your arm, you can kill him with just the new one. What's more, I'm here. Here, as the eldest son is handling matters, do you think I will stand by and watch?"
Leander relaxed his frown and sighed, "Elder Miao, some things are not as simple as you think..." He looked at the huge living corpse walking slowly in the distance, "You are right, we are indeed You can walk into the town with swagger,
Kill that kid on the spot, but do you remember what the eldest princess said? "
The white-browed old man looked hesitant, as if he was thinking carefully.
"She said don't make it too easy for that liar," Leandre said.
"Yes, the eldest princess means to kill that kid." Elder Miao said angrily, "These ants have offended the eldest princess, and they will not be able to escape the guilt even if they die!"
"Then have you ever thought about it, since you want to kill that kid, why don't you say it directly and clearly, instead of beating around the bush?" Leandre asked.
"The eldest princess is kind-hearted and can't bear to kill." Elder Miao looked up at the sky with a righteous look.
"The eldest princess is indeed kind-hearted, even flowers, plants and insects cannot bear to be harmed..." Leandre also looked at the sky, but unknowingly, both of them covered their chests with their right hands.
After each expressed their loyalty to the Lord, Elder Miao asked, "Are you worried about the Legend of the Deep Sea?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued, "Is the Flame of the Red Dragon stronger than the Deep Sea Warship? What’s more, there is that adult sitting in charge, and even if I give him ten courages, he won’t dare to show his face.”
"Since that Lord took over the Red Castle, the Legend of the Deep Sea has long been a thing of the past, but let me tell you..." Leander approached Elder Miao and lowered his voice, "The problem lies with that Lord."
"What do you mean?" Elder Miao's voice was even lower, as if he was a thief.
This was a wilderness, and there were only two of them as far as the eye could see, but they both deliberately lowered their voices, which showed how deep the fear of that adult was.
"Before that gentleman entered the Holy Land, he opened a weapons shop in the town..." Leander became smaller and smaller, as thin as a mosquito.
"That boy is from the local security team. Although he looks ordinary, not to mention handsome, he is also upright. He is young and quite calm in dealing with things. He is young and mature, quick-thinking, and has a little sense of humor. This kind of person is very attractive to little girls. It was quite lethal. You have to know that the adult was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, so..."
"You suspect they have an affair!" Elder Miao was shocked. He raised his voice unconsciously and then lowered it quickly, "Impossible. How can a giant dragon like an ant? A sow can climb a tree?"
"Who hasn't been confused when they were young?" Leandre sighed, as if remembering the green years of those years.
"But things are no longer the same as they used to be. Even everything that happened back then is just a thing of the past, a dream gone by the wayside." Elder Miao said. How can the giant dragon soar through the sky and the earth with the ants? That is absolutely impossible.
"Oh, it's hard to say..." Leandre waved his hand and said, "Poets always say that women are made of water. No matter how powerful they are and how high their status is, they are still emotional animals. If one day the old love resurfaces, get out of here. To put it bluntly..." His voice dropped a little lower, "It's not unusual for the eldest princess to sleep next to her and push her back."
Elder Miao suddenly looked solemn.
Leandre continued, "You know the character of that adult. He behaves erratically and is moody. He never plays by the rules. He also holds a grudge. He burnt down a whole city for her adoptive mother. If she knew someone was killing her lover, she would be obsessed with him for a moment. , recalling all the past..."
Having said this, Leander didn't say any more and showed a "you know" expression.
Elder Miao's face first changed from solemn to pale, with sweat dripping from his forehead, and finally he nodded as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Then Princess can say innocently that I just want them to cause a little trouble, and we..." Leandre pointed at himself and then at Elder Miao.
After a long silence, the latter took a long breath, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, please save my entire clan..."
