#1528 - Dinner party starts

The setting sun was blood-red. When Lei Xiao, Loris, Sina, Gary and his men stepped into the open area of ​​the canyon, a majestic and magnificent city had already stood there.

"The Giant Wall Canyon is located at the junction of the Broken Valley Alliance, the Half-Titans, and the Stone Giants. It is so steep that even the Giants cannot easily cross it, hence the name. The other party held the banquet here, and their sinister intentions are really obvious."

Xina frowned and looked at the towering stone walls around her, and then her eyes fell on the huge city standing in the center. That was where the banquet was held, the Shadow Market of Manager I.

"The premise is that they can really trap us."

Lei Xiao's face remained calm and he also looked forward.

The evening breeze was chilly, and the last ray of sunset dyed everything orange. As the two moons hanging high in the sky became brighter, the orange was fading quickly, and in its place, the depth and darkness of the night became more and more obvious.

Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze and looked at the powerful men around him.

There is no need to say much about the strong men from the three alliances, such as Loris, Sina, and Old Gary, and Broy, Fanny, Chris and others under his command are also accompanying them, as well as Jasmine, Fei'er and the stone elves. There are more than a hundred people in total, and except for a few dwarf elves such as Broy and Cornet, all of them are at the sixth level.

It is worth mentioning that both Jasmine and Fei'er, two half-step seventh-level warriors, used special secret methods to hide their strength under Lei Xiao's arrangement. On the surface, they are no different from ordinary sixth-level warriors.

In addition, the Ice Stone City, which has assembled the elite legions of the three alliances and a million-strong human army, is on standby not far away. Even our manager and the three managers K, L, and M of the Misty Shadow Market are deployed around it, constantly monitoring the opponent's army's every move.

As for the alchemical puppets above level five, they were all carried by dwarfs such as Lei Xiao and Broy.

In short, under the leadership of Lei Xiao, we have been prepared to the greatest extent possible without any negligence.

Even so, an atmosphere of tension and uneasiness quietly spread in the team, making everyone frown.

After all, the other side are two genuine second-rate forces, and it is well known that the gap between third-rate forces and second-rate forces is like a chasm that is simply insurmountable.

"Your Majesty is right. With Ice Stone City nearby to support us, nothing can stop us!"

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, Xi Na's fair face was full of confidence.

"Under the leadership of His Majesty, our strength is unprecedentedly strong. If the other party wants to wipe us out, they have to consider whether they have the ability to do so!"

Old Gary looked eager to fight and nodded heavily.

"That's right, we are not easy to mess with!"

Loris's fangs reflected a cold light and he echoed.

After Lei Xiao and the three leaders said this, the tense atmosphere in the team eased a lot.

Be it Lei Xiao or the other leaders, they all clearly understood that those powerful giants already looked down on us with a high opinion of themselves. If we make them feel that we lack confidence, we will undoubtedly become more passive and will make them even more aggressive.

When Lei Xiao and his group arrived at the gate of the Miying Market, it had already become completely dark.

Seeing the figures of Lei Xiao and his group, a powerful black-armored warrior with a majestic aura came over with a group of market guards: "Let me introduce myself. I am the manager of this Miying Market."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency the Administrator."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and looked at the other person calmly.

Compared with the brown heavy armor of our manager, the opponent's black heavy armor is much more textured, and there is not much difference in style. The opponent's strength is also better, obviously reaching the half-step seventh level.

In addition, the accompanying market guards are also more powerful. The leading guard captains are all at the peak of level six, enough to compete with our manager and the other three managers including K.

From this, it is not difficult to see that the ranking of the Movie Market is indeed proportional to the strength. To be more precise, a higher ranking means being able to obtain more resources.

"I have long heard that His Majesty is very capable. Not only did he drive away the giant dragons that had been lurking there for a long time, he also wiped out the lich a few days ago. I see today that he is indeed extraordinary."

Manager I laughed, and then looked at Loris and Xina beside Lei Xiao, nodded and said: "Thank you also to the leaders of the Rainforest and the Desert for coming. It is really an honor for me to meet so many important people today."

Although Manager I's words were very nice, any discerning person could tell that he was just saying some insignificant polite words and did not show any real respect.

After some polite exchanges, Manager I's eyes fell on Old Gary and the others, and asked in confusion, "Who are these people?"

"Broken Valley Alliance."

Old Gary did not hide anything and briefly introduced himself.

Old Gary's move was naturally discussed with Lei Xiao in advance.

Since the Lich has been wiped out and Old Gary and others have rebuilt the city, even if the opponent doesn't know it now, they will soon figure out the identities of Old Gary and others, so there is no need to hide it.

Furthermore, the Broken Valley Alliance once stood at the top of the third-rate forces, and it can more or less make opponents feel a little wary, especially when they don’t know the true strength of Old Gary.

"No wonder a new city appeared on the ruins of the Lich's giant city. It turns out that the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance have returned."

Manager I looked Old Gary and the others up and down, pretending to be surprised and said, "But according to the latest intelligence I got, there seem to be some remaining undead there. Didn't the old leader notice it?"

Needless to say, Manager I was referring to old Gary and others.

The reason why the other party asked this question was obviously to trick Old Gary into talking. He might have already linked the latter to the "remaining undead." After all, Old Gary and others had disappeared for a long time, and it was indeed a bit abnormal for them to reappear now.

"Those remnants have been completely wiped out by us."

Old Gary remained calm and said calmly, "I'm sure Your Excellency the Administrator also knows that we have an irreconcilable hatred for each other."

Old Gary's explanation was naturally the result of consultation with Lei Xiao.

The two of them clearly understood that the managers and market guards could not leave the Shadow Market. Even if they saw something, they could only see it from afar and did not know the specific reasons.

After that, Old Gary looked at Administrator I again, frowned and asked, "Doesn't the Administrator welcome us?"

"That's wrong. Since they are friends brought by His Majesty, they are naturally my honored guests."

Manager I stared at Old Gary for a moment. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still smiled gracefully and changed the subject: "In that case, please come in, the dinner will start soon."

After saying that, Manager I made a "please" gesture and began to lead the way.

Walking into this unfamiliar film market, Lei Xiao looked around and noticed further.

What is different from the Shadow Market managed by our side is that everything here, whether it is the buildings on both sides of the road, the street lights, or even the road itself, is obviously several sizes larger, obviously tailor-made for half-titans and stone giants, just like walking into the kingdom of giants.

It’s just that the city gates of the God-favored Land are extremely huge, so it is difficult to see any clues from the outside. However, on the extremely wide road, no semi-titans or stone giants were seen.

To be more precise, apart from our group, there was no one else on the huge street.

After noticing this, Loris, Sina, Gary and others couldn't help but frown.

Everyone knows that the real organizers of the banquet are the Demi-Titan and the Stone Giant. However, the organizers have not even shown up until now, and it turns out that they do not take our group seriously at all.

In the team, only the leader Lei Xiao still looked calm and composed, looking around with great interest.

I had anticipated this a long time ago. After all, the other party is a second-rate force with deep roots, so it is natural for them to look down on us. One of the purposes of my trip is to dampen the other party's arrogance.

"Hmm? You all seem to be in a bad mood. Did I neglect you in some way?"

Manager I was aware of the strangeness among our group and asked with a smile, even though he knew the answer.

"Your Excellency the Administrator is overthinking."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Sir, I'm afraid we are not the only guests at the dinner tonight?"

"Haha, it turns out that nothing can be hidden from His Majesty the Human Race."

Manager I's voice revealed a hint of joking as he responded, "That's right, but those guests are too distinguished, so I can only ask you to go and meet them."

"Meet in person? They are guests, and we are guests too, so how can there be a meeting?"

Loris crossed his arms and frowned slightly.

"The more distinguished the guest is, the more different the treatment he or she will receive. This is the iron rule of the Film Market. You should know this, right?"

Manager I said innocently, as if it was a matter of course: "Besides, I'm sure you've already guessed that I only provided the venue. The distinguished guests are the real hosts of the banquet. How can I interfere with the decision of the host? Please understand my difficulties."

"Since they are the hosts of the banquet, why shouldn't they receive the guests?"

Loris still refused to give in and snorted, "Are those banquet hosts a bunch of barbarians who don't know etiquette?"

"It's just a wild lion, how can you be so arrogant!"

A deafening low sound was heard, and a group of giant figures fell from the sky, causing the surrounding streets to shake instantly.

When the tremors of the earth gradually subsided, the giant figure at the head stepped forward, looked down at us and said, "We only show courtesy to the strong, but you are just weaklings, how can you talk about courtesy?"

Following the sound, Lei Xiao noticed it.

The leading giant was at least six meters tall, with a set of shining golden armor completely wrapping his burly body, especially the thick breast armor supported by muscles and the six raised abdominal armors which were quite eye-catching. The skin exposed at the links of the armor exuded a bronze luster. He was not wearing a helmet, and his rough bronze face was full of contempt and disdain.

Behind the golden-armored giant, the other giants were all dressed in uniform copper-colored armor and wore closed helmets with only one eye hole exposed.

For a moment, those giant warriors whose bodies were as big as mountains covered the sky and the sun. Their heavy and powerful breathing swept out like gusts of strong wind. They looked really strong and powerful, far beyond the ordinary warriors of the same level.

"Your Majesty, this man is Bissos, one of the half-Titan generals. We have fought him many times before."

Thomas, the deputy leader of the rain forest, stepped forward and whispered to Lei Xiao, "This man is extremely difficult to deal with. Even the leader has never taken advantage of him."

After saying that, Thomas also frowned tightly.

In fact, he gave Loris a lot of face. The reality was that every time the other party appeared, Loris had almost no choice but to run away.

"Peak level six? The other soldiers accompanying him are also at the level of level six. It seems that the other party is well prepared."

Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Why? Did I hit a sore spot?"

With Lei Xiao by his side, Loris was obviously more confident and did not back down.

"You are just a defeated general. You are totally overestimating your own abilities!"

After saying that, Bissos suddenly raised his huge fist and attacked directly towards Loris.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't expect that the other party would actually attack directly. This was obviously an attempt to intimidate us!

Especially the manager I, who did not make any move to stop the incident. Instead, he looked like he was enjoying the show and stood far away from the other market guards.

"Don't think this leader is afraid of you!"

Loris's reaction was also extremely quick, he stretched out his fist and met the attack.

boom!

With a deafening roar, Loris was knocked back several steps. Although the energy barrier was still there, his aura was obviously weakened, and he was obviously at an absolute disadvantage.

"You are just a bunch of insignificant and incompetent people. I will teach you a lesson first, you wild lion!"

Bissos's huge body continued to attack Loris like a mountain!

At this moment, a tall figure suddenly flew out and faced Bissos's giant fist directly.

boom!

There was another earth-shattering roar. This time, it was the giant general who was knocked back several steps. He almost fell to the ground with a fart, looking quite embarrassed.

"Who are you?"

After feeling shocked, Bissos's eyes suddenly darkened and he said coldly. (End of this chapter)
