Chapter 477, Too Insincere

the other side.

A valley to the southeast from the Death Snatcher's Village.

A middle-aged man wearing leather armor, with a long bow on his shoulder and a dagger on his shoulder, quickly got into the dark valley.

After passing the secret sentry, he stood in front of a cave and softly shouted "Lord!".

"Is there any new news?" A female voice came from the cave.

The voice was crisp and clear, and the woman was not that old.

"Lord, when night fell, the stronghold of those guys was attacked by the undead, and there was chaos." The middle-aged man reported softly.

"Undead? How could there be so many undead in this place?" The woman's tone was full of surprise.

It wasn't that she doubted her subordinate's words.

It's just that her territory was originally in this area, but she has never heard or seen any undead.

The word "undead" was mentioned by others in the channel.

"Lord, my subordinates saw with their own eyes that those skeletons came out of nowhere and went crazy to attack the village. I guess those guys did something outrageous and provoked the undead." The middle-aged man continued. answer.

"Oh! Has the village been destroyed? Is Li Zhenhu dead?"

Women are very receptive.

His tone immediately became a bit gloating.

"There are a lot of undead. I'm afraid they will fight to the death. Li Zhenhu's subordinates didn't see him, so I don't know if he is dead or not." The man answered the woman's questions one by one.

Tap tap tap! !

Footsteps sounded.

From the depths of the dim cave, a small figure walked out.

Standing in front of the cave, he pondered for a while and said: "Notify brothers, follow me to attack tomorrow morning, take the life of the stronghold, and kill those damn beasts."

"Yes, Lord Lord." The middle-aged man replied in a low voice and walked towards the side of the valley.

The woman walked out of the cave, put her fingers in her mouth and whistled.

In an instant, beast roars rang out from the surrounding mountains and forests.

As if responding to the woman.

Her delicate facial features were reflected in the moonlight.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Li Zhenhu, I'm going to skin you this time!"

…

Early next morning.

The sky is dim and bright.

The originally bustling Death Snatcher's Village became deathly quiet.

In the open space in front of the main village, hundreds of surrendered bandits were kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Surrounded by the undead, they were like sculptures, staring at the people in the middle.

And these bandits, who used to be so murderous and ferocious, are more like well-behaved rabbits.

Kneeling here peacefully, not daring to make the slightest move all night.

There were thousands of people in the village, but only so many were killed.

They didn't know how long they would have to kneel, but they could only kneel like this.

…

noon.

A group of people approached the mountain stronghold from the main road in the north.

Originally expecting it to be a tough battle, before leaving, the mercenaries handed over their written wills to their injured companions who stayed in the city.

But until we reached the mountain village, it was deathly quiet.

Arrows were inserted up and down the city wall, and blood stains flowed down the city wall and were not dry yet.

As you can imagine, a fierce war took place here a few hours ago.

However, despite such a fierce battle, not a single body was seen inside or outside the city walls.

It's like this is a ghost town.

It is this city that is bleeding.

There was a weird atmosphere all around.

Fang Hao and his men felt fine. After knowing that Spencer had captured it, they cleaned up the battlefield as required.

But the Lysis City guards and mercenary group looked a little unnatural.

All of them had unusually solemn expressions and looked around warily.

"Sir, madam, I'm afraid there may be danger here, so why not send someone to investigate first." A mercenary leader quickly approached and said.

Another group leader also echoed, "Yeah, now that we're here, it's better to be careful."

Several group leaders proposed to investigate.

If a large team rushes in like this, there may be unknown dangers.

Fang Hao thought about it, and it didn't take more than a few minutes.

Then he whispered: "Scout, go and see what's going on in this stronghold."

"Yes, sir."

The team was already at the foot of the city, and there was a small mountain village in front of them.

Several scouts took the order and walked in through the open door while being vigilant.

Not long after.

The scout came back with a strange look on his face.

The report said: "Sir, there are traces of fierce fighting in the empty city, but there is not a single person inside. It is empty."

"How is this possible?" A group leader exclaimed.

Fang Hao acted relatively calmly.

He ordered softly, "The Lysis City guards and the four mercenary groups will go to the four small villages to search for loot. The rest of the people will follow me to the main stronghold in the middle."

"yes!"

Everyone responded, and the members of the four mercenary groups were assigned to each other and began to go to the four small villages.

The personal guards of Lysis City are mixed in the mercenary group and play a supervisory role.

Of course, there was not much loot in this small village. All the good stuff was looted by the three bandit leaders and brought to the main village.

The reason for this arrangement is to find something for these people to do and not get close to the middle area.

They each took orders to leave, and Fang Hao took his troops to the main stronghold in the middle.

As soon as they got closer, they saw the undead soldiers standing guard on the mountain stronghold.

all the best.

The team entered the mountain stronghold, and the lion-hearted knights and heavy sword infantry took over the work of the undead.

Start standing guard.

"Lord, the mountain stronghold has been captured, and 772 bandits have been captured. It can be confirmed that the two people are the tyrant and the greedy wolf." Spencer, following Fang Hao's footsteps, reported softly.

"Oh? Where's Li Zhenhu?" Fang Hao asked.

In comparison, these two aborigines were originally bandits.

Fang Hao paid more attention to Li Zhenhu, who was fishing to trap the time travellers.

This man is so scheming and ruthless that death will be a problem after all.

"There is no Li Zhenhu among the prisoners, and there is no one with similar facial features on the body. It is possible that he was not in the village at the time, or that he escaped during the battle." Spencer reported in a calm tone.

Fang Hao came to the middle hall and sat down on the chair.

His hands touched the armrests of the chair.

He said softly: "Anjia, take people to search the stronghold and collect all the valuables. Demitga, you take over the city defense. Assetti leads the cavalry to investigate the surrounding areas. Spencer has people bring the tyrant and the greedy wolf over."

"Yes!" The heroes took the order and left the room.

Not long after, Spencer came in with two people.

It can be seen that the two of them are very strong, but their faces are a little pale at this time.

After the two came in, their eyes scanned 4 weeks vigilantly.

When they saw the young man above them, they frowned.

With their thinking, they couldn't figure out what the relationship between the young man above and the undead that attacked the cottage last night was.

"Sir, the people are here." Spencer said softly.

Fang Hao nodded and looked at the two of them.

"I heard that you have done a lot of bad things. Did you think that this day would come to you?" Fang Hao looked directly at the two of them.

Tyrant and Greedy Wolf frowned at the young man above.

The two of them can confirm that this is a time traveler.

"My lord, I don't know what to call you. We have no intention of being your enemy." The tyrant licked his dry lips and said loudly.

They know that whether they can survive or not, the person in front of them has the absolute right to say.

Being tough is not a wise decision if you want to survive.

"My name is Fang Hao. I was ambushed by you a few days ago." Fang Hao said calmly.

Fang Hao?

The two were stunned again.

Immediately afterwards, his expression instantly changed from confusion to surprise.

They came up with the name.

Li Zhenhu mentioned me before that a time traveler named Fang Hao has a lot to do with Lysis City.

They didn't think much of it at the time.

At this moment, the scariest thing was not Rebecca, but the harmless-looking time traveler in front of me.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Fang Hao was stunned.

"What, you two have heard of me?"

"No, no." The two shook their heads hurriedly.

"Okay, let me ask you, where is Li Zhenhu? Where have the others gone?" Fang Hao continued to ask.

The two looked at each other.

Greedy Wolf replied, "Li Zhenhu is not in the village, he has gone to Jinmastu."

"Lying is not a wise decision. At this time, he still dares to leave?" Fang Hao's tone immediately became cold.

Greedy Wolf trembled and hurriedly explained: "I'm not lying to you. We were afraid of the encirclement and suppression of Lysis City, so we asked Li Zhenhu to take the money to Jinmastu to buy a way to survive, so we were not in the city."

Went to Jinmastu?

What a coincidence!

"How many days has he been gone and who has he been looking for to buy a living?" Fang Hao continued to ask.

Greedy Wolf replied, "Li Zhenhu said that if you have connections, you can contact the city lord of Jinmastu and give us a formal identity. Then Rebecca will have no reason to send troops."

"How much money did you take with you?"

"Most of the money he had saved in the village over the years was taken away by him," Tanlang said.

Fang Hao looked at the two of them strangely.

With Li Zhenhu's methods and ruthlessness.

Nine times out of ten, he just took the money and left.

It's possible that he bought himself an identity in Jinmastu, or he might just run away.

But it’s basically certain that I won’t come back.

Putting Li Zhenhu's matter aside for now, Fang Hao continued to ask: "Why did you attack the team in Lysis City?"

The two eyes dodge.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "We misidentified the team as an ordinary caravan, so we attacked the wrong one."

snort!

Fang Hao snorted coldly and reminded: "Oh? What you said is different from what I know. I heard that you were monitoring the movements of the Lysis City army half a month ago. Who asked you to arrest Li Beka's? Don't answer in a hurry. You only have one chance to answer. If you make a mistake, your life will be lost. Think about it before you speak."

The expressions of the two changed again.

They know that as long as they are caught by the other party again, their lives may really be in danger.

Beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, one by one falling on the carpet.

Greedy Wolf gritted his teeth and said, "A steward from the Marshall family found us and asked us to capture Rebecca."

The Marshall family?

Fang Hao recalled it carefully and received information about the Marshall family in his memory.

Grote Marshall, after coming to Lysis City.

Knowing that Rebecca's husband is dead, she asks Rebecca to marry him.

Later, in the middle of speaking, he was kicked unconscious by Arsetti.

It seems that the whole thing has something to do with him.

"What benefits did the Marshall family promise?" Fang Hao continued to ask.

"Well, a new identity, and a city, a city recognized by the federation." The tyrant added.

This Marshall family really understands the power of its members.

The bandit's identity can be washed away and become a federally recognized identity.

From bandit leader to a city lord.

You know everything you want to know, so you have nothing to say to them.

"Take them both down!"

There are soldiers who want to take the two of them down.

But the tyrant suddenly struggled and said loudly: "Sir, what happened a few days ago was our fault. We are willing to compensate and make up for our mistakes."

Greedy Wolf also hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, we are willing to compensate."

Fang Hao asked: "What can you give me?"

"Money, what do you think? All the money in the warehouse belongs to you." The tyrant said directly.

"If I kill you, the money will still be mine. If you take my money and give it to me, isn't it too insincere?" Fang Hao retorted.

Ah this….

The two of them suddenly stopped talking and knelt there in a daze.

His own money, is this his?

"Is there anything else you can bring out?" Fang Hao continued to ask.

The two thought for a while, and the tyrant said: "Sir, we can go and rob it, and we will give you all the money we get back."

Good guy, you really have some ideas.

Fang Hao was too lazy to talk nonsense to them, and waved his hand, indicating that they should be taken away.

The two were dragged away, and the tyrant's cry still echoed, "There are still people. Slaves can be sold for a lot of money. We can help you catch them..."

The sound grew farther and farther away, gradually disappearing.

…

The hall fell into silence again.

Fang Haocai called up the prompt for the appearance of the Book of Lords.

The architectural style of this cottage is very similar to the style of a traveler's territory.

But when he sat on the throne in the middle, the system prompt still appeared.

[The Death Snatcher's Village has become your affiliated city. You can 'rename' the city here, and you can control all the resources of the village and its affiliated villages. 】

The appearance of this prompt means that this place belongs to an aboriginal city.

It is not a city for travelers.

Fang Hao thought for a while, but he didn't have a good name, so he just called it that.

If you want to change your name later, you can do it in time.

【The Death Snatcher's Cottage】

[City level: Level 5 original city]

[Attributes: Combat power +5%, additional plunder +2%. 】

(Description: A city with attributes can bring various benefits and accelerate the construction and development of the city.)

It's a level five city, but its attributes are too low.

It's all nonsense. There is no bonus on collection and production attributes, not even tax bonus.

There is an additional plunder, which is in line with the bandit style.
