The relationship between Titan City Lord Blackwood and the former Death Castle City Lord Dacrocodile has always been bad, and there have been several major conflicts between them.
The genetic evolution level of the two people is about the same, and their combat power is also about the same. Everyone loses every time, and no one can do anything to the other.
Over time, there has been a deadlock between the two castles, with no one provoking the other and no one afraid of the other.
When Yang Xiao killed Dacrocodile and captured the Castle of the Dead, Titan City Lord Hei Mu was secretly happy, feeling that his mortal enemy was finally dead.
When Yang Xiao took over the Castle of the Dead, it did not cause a big commotion. It was considered too stable. Heimu originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack the Castle of the Dead, but gave up after thinking about it.
Yang Xiao's Castle of the Dead was renamed City of Hope and announced that residents' protection fees would be halved. Blackwood still laughed at the news when he heard it.
“This is just a trick by the new city lord to win people’s hearts, but how long can he hold on?
Don’t the five thousand guards he raises need a salary? Doesn’t the construction and maintenance of the castle require funds?
Just wait and see, I don't think the new city lord can last three months. "
Now, three months have passed, and news comes one after another from the City of Hope.
Yang Xiao drastically reformed the City of Hope, established nuclear power, running water, and built new residential quarters.
Preparations are now being made to expand the city. On the west side of the City of Hope, ground has been broken for an area twice the size of the current old city.
The construction of a city requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Men and women in the City of Hope now have jobs. They are either involved in the city's infrastructure construction or engaged in the service industry in the city.
Yang Xiao used a large number of wafers in the vaults of previous generations of city lords to leverage the economic development of the entire city based on urban construction and real estate construction.
More and more people heard the news and came to the City of Hope to take a look. Some people immediately jumped into the arms of the new city, while others hesitated for a few days and came with their families.
Blackwood's Titan City is the closest to the City of Hope and has been the most affected. In addition to part of the population starting to migrate to the City of Hope, many people will also go to the City of Hope to buy rich daily necessities.
City of Hope has a wide range of products, and the prices are about 20% cheaper than those in Titan City. Those who purchased the products went back and promoted them, which attracted more people to come to City of Hope to shop.
The market in Titan City is getting more and more depressed.
City Lord Heimi has been quite upset about this matter recently.
Now, when he heard his subordinates report that 50,000 residents had left in just this month, how could he not be furious?
City Lord Kuroki said to his guard captain,
"Feihu, gather all the guards and follow me to the Castle of Death. Today, I will let the new city lord know how powerful I am, Black Wood.
Damn it, I keep putting up with it, I can't take it anymore. "
The captain of the guards was a giant man with an iron tower standing two and a half meters tall. After hearing what Lord Blackwood said, he immediately said,
"Yes, City Lord, I have been holding back my anger for a long time. Eight hundred of our guards have gone away. We are going to kill them today. We need to teach the new City Lord of the Castle of the Dead a lesson and let him know some rules. "
A moment later, Captain Feihu gathered more than 4,000 guards from Titan City.
"City Lord, are you taking them all away?"
Kuroki hesitated for a moment and said,
"Leave five hundred to guard the city, and the rest will follow me. This time, I will fight him to the death. He wants to destroy my job, and I will make it impossible for him to live in peace."
Kuroki said loudly to the four thousand guards,
"Brothers, you have been following me, Lao Hei, for decades, and the shortest time is three or four years. Do you think I, Lao Hei, have ever treated my brothers badly?"
Everyone shouted in unison:
"Brothers and I are all dependent on the boss to take care of us!"
"You also know that your monthly salary comes from the city protection fees paid by our Titan City residents. The residents need us to guard them day and night and pay some protection fees, shouldn't they?"
"That's natural. Which city in Central Continent doesn't pay protection fees?"
Feihu, the captain of the guards, shouted loudly.
"But now someone is poaching us and destroying our jobs.
In the nearby Castle of the Dead, a new city lord has arrived, tempting people with false promises and recruiting people everywhere.
We calculated that this month alone, 50,000 residents of our Titan City left and went to the Castle of the Dead.
Brothers, do you know that if 50,000 people leave, I will be short of 5 million wafers this month?
How can I pay you wages without money?
How can you support your family without a salary?
He is not just poaching me, he is destroying your jobs! "
City Lord Kuroki's logic was still very clear. With just such a twist, the conflict was directly transferred to the guards.
Feihu, the captain of the guards, shouted loudly,
"Brothers, the new city lord of the Castle of the Dead won't give us food, so we'll fight with them and won't let them have an easy time. At worst, everything will be dead and the net will be broken. Who is afraid of whom?"
More than 4,000 guards were guided by the Lord of Blackwood City and Captain Feihu. Their anger immediately burst out, and their roars shook the sky.
"Yes, fight them!"
"If you don't let me live, I won't let them live either."
"We have settled with the Lord of Blackwood City. The Lord treats us the best, just like brothers."
"City Lord, tell me, what do you want us to do?"
"Brothers, follow the city lord, kill the Castle of the Dead, and crush them!"
...
Seeing the angry expressions of the guards, Kuroki was very satisfied. He waved his hand and shouted loudly,
"Brothers, for the sake of your wives, children, and children, and for the future of our Titan City, I will now lead you to the Castle of the Dead for a fight to the death. Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"dare?"
"dare!"
"Set off!"
Heimi and Feihu took the lead, soared into the air and flew toward each other in the Castle of the Dead.
More than four thousand guards followed closely behind, and the sky was filled with darkness and murderous intent.
...
Qi Lao arranged spies in several surrounding cities two months ago to observe the hostility of the surrounding cities towards the City of Hope.
Qi Lao knew that recruiting residents as unscrupulously as Yang Xiao would sooner or later arouse hostility from other cities.
The situation in Titan City was reported to Mr. Qi very early, and Mr. Qi also sent a small team to sneak into Titan City to keep an eye on Heimu's movements at all times.
When Kuroki gathered his guards outside the city, the spies had already flown to the City of Hope to report.
Subsequently, two groups of people continued to fly back to the City of Hope to report on the latest situation.
At this moment, in the City of Hope, Yang Xiao, Qi Lao, Wan Yanbai, Fan Chen, Chen Peng, Le Ding and others are convening an emergency meeting.
Qi Lao said,
"City Lord, according to the investigation report from Titan City, the Lord of Titan City has gathered four thousand guards and is preparing to come and attack us. What should we do?"
Yang Xiao asked,
"How strong are Titan City Lord Heimu and his men, and what are their genetic evolution levels?"
"Kuromu is similar to the previous Lord of Dazu City. They are both at the beginning of the imperial realm. As for his guards, except for the captain of the guards Feihu, who is at the imperial realm, there is nothing special about the rest of them."
"Okay, if that's the case, then gather the guards immediately and prepare to fight."
"I have assembled the team. We are outside the city now, waiting for your order."
