  Chapter 632 Kill all! (6000, first update)

   "There has been a change in Nanling. Barton Henriel has not returned, but our secrets have been completely cleared."

Feiyandi Nanling Special Operations Headquarters is located inside the gap on the north side of the Baisen Mountains. Its main part is located in the natural karst cave deep in the mountain belly. It was expanded and transformed by the earth system sublimator. It has a built-in information room, a small alchemy laboratory, and a signal base station. , arsenal and other functional facilities, it can be said to be a small war advance base.

Here, Nanling Captain Naimo of Feiyan's Special Operations Brigade sent an urgent message to Feiyan's spies and hidden personnel located throughout Nanling: "Nanling should have a strong psychic, he/she can Seeing through the disguise of the lurkers directly, Nauman City has been fully mobilized, and until our intelligence network is rebuilt, we don't know their movements and goals."

   "All parties are on alert, you may encounter a surprise attack at any time!"

Naimo Narek, the second energy level "Frost Erosion Guard" true form, "Will Projection" psyker, in charge of Feiyan's intelligence work on Nanling, except to act with the steel pterosaurs to fight against Nanling Except for the third-level powerhouses of the Patrolling Knights and the Marquis Knights, they can basically mobilize all the people in the Feiyan Land here.

This is a kind of honor, but also a kind of responsibility. Once something happens, this meticulous psyker, even with obsessive-compulsive disorder, will definitely notify everyone he should notify to ensure that they can deal with it in advance. Respond appropriately to possible hazards.

  —But not even a prophet can save everyone, let alone a mere reminder from a psyker?

  Really smart people can detect the danger without others, but even if someone wants to rescue him from the sea of ​​suffering, the stupid thug will turn back three times.

  For example, some mountain people in Lai'an territory.

   "The son of a **** over Flameland wants us to be careful of the raid by the imperial bastards."

  Lian City, a mansion of a wealthy businessman, the original owner has been driven away, and the person sitting on the main seat is a burly, bearded middle-aged man

  He was wrapped in black bearskin, his bare right hand seemed to be covered by a layer of blue rock, and a huge iron rod hung on the left waist, with sharp protrusions on the top, and a little blood stained on it.

His voice was not rough, it sounded generous, but his mocking expression was in great contrast to this voice: "They said that someone is coming to surprise us—maybe from Nauman City, maybe from Indigo Mountain. Anyway, it’s dangerous, so be on your guard.”

   "Are they trying to scare us into running away and giving up this filthy rich place to dogs who are more obedient to them? Huh?"

In the hall, many mountain hunters and warriors also laughed loudly, and the burly man smashed the iron rod in his hand to the ground, throwing up flying debris: "I only saw that guy Lapole (Baron Ryan) back then. Occupying the holy land of the ancestors, but being treated like dogs by the imperial people, treating the herbs and elixir left by the ancestors as commodities, planting and selling them like weeds, I feel angry."

   "He died at the hands of the imperialists, really a good death! He told us the result of believing in the imperialists, and also told us the fate of the traitors who are close to the empire!"

   "This is the end!" The mountain people shouted in unison.

   "But Boss." But after that, some members of the group asked: "Then what should we do? The sons of Flameland are so serious, something will definitely happen."

"What are you worried about? Anyway, it's not that no one is with us." The burly man sneered: "Raporte's tribe is firmly guarding the castle. If we don't leave, they will definitely not leave either. We'll stay here .”

   "We guard the entrances and exits of the Holy Land. Everyone doesn't have much food, so they are running out. They are not like us, who take advantage of them to send supplies."

   The other party.

   "There is another news from Feiyandi."

With a bronze face, the three-meter-tall giant stood on the top of Lai'an Castle. His dark blue eyes overlooked the entire Lai'an City. Behind him came a respectful report from his subordinates, but he did not respond immediately. .

  The dark gray hair proves that this sublimated person is old, but there is a light of wisdom in those eyes.

  He stared at the small town in the forest that was originally quiet and peaceful. Lai'an City has become desolate now, not only the famine and the chaos caused by the loss of the lord, but also the struggle between the independent mountain people and their pro-imperial side is the main reason.

  If the Huaiguang Church had not warned them not to involve civilians in their battles, the battles between the two sides in the city in the past few days alone might have caused hundreds of deaths and injuries.

   But it's the little things. Compared with how the tribe recovers its losses in this opportunity, or how to truly seize the initiative from the empire, this group of mountain people who have been domesticated by the empire long ago and became imperial people is not a pity to die (Lyan The residents of the collar are half and half of the mountain people and the imperial people, and because of the long-term mixing, it is basically impossible to distinguish).

"Say." He said in a steady voice: "Could it be another set of 'support us as the chairman of the Mountain Federation after independence'? Tell Fei Yandi, I don't believe that the mountain people can really be independent, don't make a big deal, They also lied to the group of idiots in the mountain pass, and the stones in the mountains have no idea what kind of power the empire has."

"But if the price is sufficient, I don't mind stumbling the imperialists secretly, such as destroying the spiritual soil of the Holy Land, so that they can't get back the origin of this alchemy material in its entirety. As long as they can afford the price. "

"No, Patriarch." The voice of the subordinate who reported was trembling. Obviously, destroying the "spiritual soil of the Holy Land" was beyond his imagination: "They said...the empire may take action and ask us to be careful Be cautious and shrink your defenses."

   "The people in the Yamaguchi and the Hard Valley have also received the notification from Flameland, but they didn't respond..."

   "Ridiculous."

  The Giant Mountain Man laughed, and his voice was even a little heroic: "If the imperial people make a move, we will retreat? With such a little courage, how dare you do anything?"

   "It's better to say, if we don't beat the actions of the imperial people back, what face do we have to pay a high price? And if we don't show our strength, how will we be recruited by the empire?"

   "Compared to this, it is better to prepare the materials."

  He concluded: "This morning, I'm going to speak to the entire city of Laian, telling them who is their real enemy, and who is the one who really takes care of them!"

At this point, the giant mountain man stuck the big sword at his waist into the solid rock of the castle, his eyes on Lai'an City became cold, and his tone was serious: "If Lai'an City doesn't support me, there will be no more Laian City is gone!"

   "I can't get it, and no one can get it!"

  There are more than one faction in Le'an territory now.

  —Professing to follow the Dragon God Code, supported by Feiyandi, but despise Feiyandi and the Empire, a mountain dweller who is determined to be independent.

——The Legacy of Baron Laian and the clan "Xuanfeng" behind Baron Laian (the clan of the mountain folk blood of Baron Laian) combined to support a mountain knight knight conferred by the empire as the leader, in fact as a A puppet, claiming to be orthodox in the Lean collar.

  —Several other conferred mountain knights gathered together. They were cut off from the empire, unable to ask for help for a while, and could only gather together to protect themselves.

  The demands of all parties are not the same. Lai'anling was one of the sacred places of the mountain people in the past, and Xiahui grass and other various economic crops were the unique raw materials of medicines for the mountain people at that time.

Later, when the empire came and conquered this place, they expanded the planting of the rosy radiance, turning 'the solitary rosy radiance that was originally located on the cliff into a wild flower planted in nurseries and around the city', and the rare rosy radiance became available for use. Onboard Alchemy Substrates (still expensive though).

   For fundamentalist mountain folk, this is intolerable blasphemy!

  —Even if they really want to blaspheme, they should do it. Why do the Imperials make so much money? !

There is only one independent request of the mountain people, that is, like what happened in other imperial colonies and mountain people autonomous regions, they want to take Le'an as their own, as part of the future mountain federation—yes, support in Flameland Now, they have already begun to think about how to build a country.

This side also has the strongest force, with two second-level teams leading the team. Kari Yamaguchi is responsible for leading the team to occupy Laian City, while Xisang Jiangu and the special commissioners of Feiyandi are collecting the surrounding map data, collecting The purpose of plant biological samples is self-evident.

  As for the family that claims to be orthodox in Laian City, their purpose is to take advantage of the rebellion of the mountain people and regain the holy land lost by Baron Laian

They are a line of mountain people who tend to cooperate with the empire. Naturally, they do not intend to rebel with the independent mountain people. However, the empire recently took advantage of the excuse of Baron Laian to deprive him of his fief and title of nobility, and deprived him of the title of nobleman. The legitimacy of clan rule behind Baron Ann.

   Therefore, they plan to take this opportunity to defend the city of Laian, take advantage of the situation and raise prices, ask the empire back for the right to co-operate the Leian territory, and even simply rehabilitate the Baron of Laian, and completely regain the legitimacy.

   Moreover, it is really impossible, they also plan to join hands with other mountain knights who are fiefs here, secretly inciting the local residents, not in name, but in fact to rule the Laian Territory.

  In short, you must hold this superior alchemy plant planting land in your hands no matter what.

  They also have a second level—Martin Xuanfeng. In terms of kinship, he could even be regarded as Baron Ryan's uncle.

Although he is alone, he has advantages in inheritance, weapons and equipment, and even has many psionic accessories collected by the mountain people. For the mountain people who do not have a third energy level for the time being, this is already considered a treasure in this area. Top combat power.

   And this group of people has some faint connection with Dragon Worship Sect.

  Third party... The third party is just other mountain knights holding together for warmth, and other forces have no time and spare energy to deal with them.

   "Is that so?"

  Lianling, Golden Leaf Forest.

Marching at high speed, all the staff rode dragon horses and rushed all night. It can be regarded as reaching the vicinity of the destination. Ian pointed his sword at the captives he had captured, and asked in amazement: "It's okay for those guys from the Independent Mountains to go crazy. Fengbu actually dared to stir up this muddy water, and wanted to overturn the case of Baron Laian, secretly occupy Laian City and be recruited, so he would be the lord again as a matter of course?"

   "Where did he get the guts?!"

   "You, I don't know if you ask me, my lord..."

The mountain captive who was tied to the tree said to Ian with a smile on his face, and also to the 30 people in armor behind him who lined up silently: "I am not in the same group as them. See if there is any oil and water to fish around here, so I made some preparations..."

   "Interesting." Ian retracted his sword, and he pondered for a while: "Scott, come and ask this friend for details."

"Yes!" Iron Man stepped forward, and he stood in front of the discolored prisoner, his eyes lit up with a dark amber light: "I advise you to tell me a little more detail, otherwise, use the information you provided to compare the voyeuristic For the crime of our march, there is a high probability that we can only choose between beheading and drowning."

  The mountain man asked cautiously: "Can I choose old age and death?"

  Scott gave him a face with the scabbard: "Now there is a new option for you to dismember and throw away. Tell me."

   Didn't care about Scott's interrogation, Ian frowned slightly.

   Grabbed a tongue and obtained the information in Ryan's territory, but the result was not as simple as imagined.

  Obviously, in addition to Feiyandi and the independent mountain people, the pro-imperial faction and the mountain people of the Zhaoan faction also have ulterior motives.

  Although it seems that they only want to take back the Lean Territory and cooperate with the empire again, this is essentially to deny the legal right of rule of the knight lords such as Ian.

To put it simply - if the group of mountain people who actually occupied the territory of Leian took advantage of the rebellion of the mountain people succeeded in driving out the independent mountain people, then the empire would not be able to let them go, and could only elect a Baron of Leian again hang in there.

  As for the other knight lords... just wait. You didn't defend your territory anyway, you deserve it.

  Hearing the news, Ian’s first reaction was ‘what the hell, mountain people, you should be killed! '!

  What is pro-imperial and not pro-imperial? The independent mountain people are just a group of mobs, and the Zhao'an faction headed by Martin Xuanfeng is their real enemy!

   "Sir."

He is currently on a military operation, so Scott called Ian the officer. After interrogating some new information, he came over and whispered to the boy: "This mountain man is indeed a dirty hand who wants to steal a fortune, but he Said that he knew the patrol route of the mountain people, so he could avoid the spies in Lai'an City."

   "Should we trust him?"

   "Avoid the patrol route? We are not sneaking in, but attacking."

After recovering from his own thoughts, Ian shook his head slightly, looked towards the direction of Laian City, and said in a deep voice: "What we have to do is not to avoid it, but to eat the patrolling troops first, and then directly smash them into pieces." The head of the enemy."

   "Also, I'm going to do more than just get rid of the mountain people..."

  At this moment, Scott noticed that the eyes of the young white people in front of him were as cold as the permafrost glaciers in the extreme north, and his voice was indifferent.

  That is the disregard of human life as total garbage and numbers.

He said: "Our goal is to get rid of all the leadership groups in Lai'an Territory. Whether it is the independent mountain people, the Hanging Peak Department, or those mountain knights who don't know how to count. Except for us, there is no one left. "

  Scott froze for a moment, but he didn't feel any discomfort, and even said happily: "Your will!"

  —This is the normal state of Terra.

  He turned his head and issued an order: "Everyone is ready! Keep going!"

  In the early morning light, the huge armor was activated again.

  The white people's team followed closely behind.

   "Didn't kill me..."

  The mountain thief watched blankly as the team disappeared into the distance, but he was still tied to the tree—he didn't dare to ask the other party to put him down.

   "What should I do now..."

  …

   Steward Moda woke up from his chaotic sleep.

  He woke up in a daze from an extremely exhausting dream, and sat blankly by the bed, unable to tell whether it was reality or a dream for a while.

  Half a year has passed since the Laianling incident, but the old steward still hasn't gotten out of the reality of a nightmare that was worse than a nightmare.

  —The child I have taken care of for many years is actually a resentful spirit... The young masters and ladies I have been close to are all monsters who can kill without counting...

  —The lord whom I am loyal to... That young man with bright eyes who I have watched as a growth assistant all the way, actually went astray under my own suggestion... step by step on the final road of madness.

   "Master..."

  The white-haired old man raised his hand and pressed it on his eyes. He groaned in pain and weakness, not knowing how to get out of this nightmare-like painful memory.

  【All the residents of Laian City, all the people living in the mountains, please listen to us...】

There was a very penetrating announcement sound outside the window, which was obviously amplified by some kind of sublimation item. This sound even made Steward Moda recall that after Baron Lean completed the resonance bag, he was showing off in the castle. Singing at the top, and I euphemistically told the other party that he had been out of tune since the first sentence.

  The moment this beautiful memory emerged, an inexplicable doubt came to my mind again.

-is this real?

  —Isn’t this really the memory that Master Yila modified for me?

Unable to distinguish the truth of the past from the present, Manager Moda only felt that the voices outside the window were noisy, but there was no way to prevent the other party from continuing to declare: [We are the last Baron Lai An, relatives of Laporte Lai An, he Shan The source of the people's bloodline]

  【Now, I want to tell you that Baron Leanne is not an utterly evil villain as the empire advertised—don’t be deceived by the empire’s unilateral lies. In fact, this is a conspiracy! 】

  【It is the Imperial Institute of the Intellect, using psychic power to control Baron Lean and his children, intending to use their psychic power and power to plan a huge conspiracy. Of course, they failed, so Baron Ryan became their target, as long as he is knocked down, the Imperials will be able to evade all responsibility]

  【Those children who died in vain over the years, those who disappeared, and those who died early without a sound, their deaths were buried together with the death of Baron Ryan—but who is the real black hand behind the scenes? Can the Imperials tell us the answer? 】

【Do not! They protect their own people, they have never been of one mind with us! 】

  【At least we, fellow mountain people, can guarantee your vital interests and give you real personal safety! 】

  Martin Xuanfeng's thick voice came from Laian Castle, resounding throughout the city, and what he said this time was more interesting than the previous few times.

   This mountain giant, who joined forces with the old ministry and guards left behind by the master, claimed to support the master, but didn't care about the city ruled by Baron Lean, actually started to speak for the master, and used it to attack the empire?

The numb eyes of Manager Moda gradually became a little colored. He raised his head, frowned and looked out of the window, muttering in his heart: "What nonsense, is it true that the master is crazy? Why are there different opinions from all sides? ?”

   "Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?"

   It is neither Moda who is in charge nor the world who is crazy. Each party's statement is in its own favor, and each party will choose the reality and part of the truth it wants to mix.

  There is not so much clear truth in this world.

   "Destroy the traitor!"

At this moment, the old man has already heard the simple and brutal battle roar from the other side of the city. It is the voice of the soldiers from the Yamaguchi and Jiangu tribes. It is obviously impossible for them to allow the Xuanfeng tribe to continue to confuse people like this. That old man Martin is about to proclaim himself the sole and orthodox ruler of the Lean Land!

The fight between the two sides will start again, and the numb residents of Lai'an City no longer want to think about who is right and who is wrong... They just want to end this nightmare that has lasted for an unknown amount of time, and usher in a patriarch, a boss to rule them, bring them peace and tranquility.

  They can only choose from these two, and they are forced to choose a ruler among this group of mountain people who don't know good and evil, and be their lord.

  If there are no accidents.

   But accidents always happen.

  For example... there is one more choice.

  Choose another lord who is younger.

  Terra 773, October 24th, at 9:25 a.m., Cyclops Armored led his troops to arrive outside the city of Laian.

The mountain patrol team outside the city didn't even have time to warn at the first time, because their bodies and minds were all armored by this roaring and loud armor, and walking with it, thirty people were fully armed and held giant alchemy guns. The soldiers were shocked.

  —Whose army is this? Why is there armor? What are the weapons in their hands...

  The spread of the fear potion made them unable to think rationally. The only patrol captain who was barely awake was struggling to press the alarm button in his arms.

   But at this moment, the beam lights up.

  Three scorching beams of light focused on him, instantly turning a living person into fly ash.

【very good】

In the armor, Ian took a deep breath. He stared at the city of Laian in front of him. The cyan halo in his eyes flowed, reflecting all the cyan mist: [Scott, you help me shoot the key target, create chaos]

  【At the same time, your own safety comes first, understand? 】

   "Yes, sir!" Scott's message sounded inside the armor, and followed the signal of the bone nerve signal into the brain. This familiar feeling made the boy show a cold smile.

【Now】

  He whispered: [The siege begins]

  【Kill them all, leave no one behind】

   "Kill them all!"

  The soldiers echoed in unison, their voices full of enthusiasm and courage: "Not one left!"

   Then the earth began to roar.
