Chapter 229 The Disappearance of Kumbu

After a while, Guan Zhong waited for the five garrison commanders to react one after another.

Amidst the ecstasy, the determined faces quickly got down on one knee and thanked Lei Xiao in unison: "Thank you very much, Lord Lord, and I am willing to go through fire and water for Lord Lord!"

"You don't need to be too polite, just get up."

Lei Xiao raised his hand and said with a smile: "Since all the equipment is in place, then all the brigades, including the guards, must also be trained. We must not let down our vigilance. After all, there are still strong forces around us." The enemy is all around."

"Obey! Your lord!"

There was a crisp sound of armor clashing, Guan Zhong and the other five bowed in salute.

"By the way, there is one more important thing."

Lei Xiao took a step, walked out of the equipment warehouse, and murmured: "Although Kongqing Town has a complete city defense system, the city wall is only less than 3 meters high, which is a bit too thin. Build the city wall to a height of more than 5 meters, build more arrow towers and magic fortresses in case of emergencies, and the required funds can be spent from the city lord's mansion."

"Obey! Your lord!"

Hearing Lei Xiao's instructions, Lin, Guan Zhong and the others immediately bowed down and said.

"By the way, Lin, how is the matter of collecting potion materials going?"

Straight out of the equipment warehouse, Lei Xiao turned his head slightly and asked again.

"Returning to Lord Lord, my subordinates have used all the authority that I can use in the Shanglu Fair to collect them with all my strength. At present, there are already many rare potion materials, which are in the process of being transported to Kongqing Town one after another."

Lin, who was dressed in white knight casual attire, straightened her chest, and responded, "Especially the star-pattern magic pill that the lord has entrusted, the progress of material collection at this stage has been completed more than half."

"Very good, this is critical and must be dealt with as a top priority."

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and said to the burly old man with a red face beside him, "Mr. Fang Hai, how is the collection of equipment forging materials?"

"My lord, the blueprint of the third-order bright silver bright light armor that you gave to my subordinates before, all the materials needed will be delivered to Kongqing Town in a few days. At that time, my subordinates can start forging!"

A look of excitement suddenly appeared on Fang Hai's old face, and he said: "And, according to the lord's previous order, the subordinates have moved all their original forging shops to the inside of the city lord's mansion, ensuring , will not be disturbed by anyone."

"Very well, if you have any difficulties, please mention them to me in time."

While speaking, Lei Xiao had already stepped into the main hall of the castle next to him, striding towards the throne at the head.

Wait until Lei Xiao sat down on the throne.

Lin, who was in the lower position, took a step forward and reported: "My lord, all the collections of the former city lord have been processed, and a total of more than 1 million golden dragons have been obtained. At present, all of them are stored in the treasure house of the castle. "

"Very good, let's store this part of the funds here. It can be used to strengthen the city wall and other expenses. I will give you some more materials to sell later."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and said with a faint smile, "For me, the problems that can be solved with the golden dragon are not problems."

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao looked at the subordinates at the next position, and continued: "Okay, let's talk about our business today. Regarding the disappearance of Kumbu, what happened?"

"My lord, what happened is like this..."

I saw Lin cheered up first, and then began to describe.

It turned out that this morning, the young guy who was originally traveling with Kumbu hurried to find Lin and reported the situation in detail.

A few days ago, after Kunbu and his party of more than 50 people successfully purchased the white jade ore, they rushed back non-stop.

Because I passed by a small village that had business dealings with Kumbu before, the other party happened to have a demand for goods.

So in order to save time, Kumbu left the young man alone to record the list of items needed by the village for the convenience of next supply.

Moreover, before leaving, Kumbu made an appointment with the young man to meet up in Mailan Town on the way back.

However, when the young man finished his work and hurried to Mailan Town, he found that Kunbu and his party had never been here at all.

After waiting for a day without any results, the anxious young man returned to Kongqing Town overnight and reported the matter to Lin in the morning.

"My lord, that guy has followed Kumbu for many years, so there should be no doubt about his authenticity."

After saluting to Lei Xiao, Lin then added: "All in all, Kunbu and his party of more than 50 people, including the goods, seemed to disappear out of thin air on the way."

"So that's how it is."

While rubbing his chin, Lei Xiao thoughtfully said, "Is it possible that you were stopped by bandits or robbers on the way?"

"My lord, my subordinates think that this possibility is not very high."

Lin shook her head lightly, and responded respectfully: "For one thing, there are no remote paths between the starting point of Kumbu and our Kongqing Town. They are almost all flat plains, and business travel is frequent."

"Secondly, it is the golden signboard of the Shanglu Trade Fair, plus an elite guard team of more than 50 people, including a large number of second-tier senior players."

As she spoke, Lin frowned, and concluded: "With this kind of combat power, even a Tier-3 powerhouse would have to come back, let alone those ordinary bandits."

"In this way, Kumbu really seems to have disappeared out of thin air."

Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then frowned and said: "What is certain at present is that the area where Kumbu disappeared is between Mailan Town and the first small village. Let's start the investigation from that Mailan Town. If there are a lot of business travelers, maybe someone there may have seen traces of Kumbu, but it is still unknown."

"Returning to the lord, the thoughts of the subordinates are exactly the same as the lord."

Lin nodded, still maintaining a respectful posture and said: "Mailan Town is located in the south of Kongqing Town, and its scale is almost the same as here. It takes about a day and a half of carriage ride, and it is one of the large towns nearby. As for The specific strength and military deployment, the subordinates have already investigated clearly, let the subordinates come down to lead the way for the lord."

"Very good, without further ado, let's start now."

Nodding to Lin, Knotweed and other subordinates, Lei Xiao waved his hand without hesitation and said, "Let's go! Go to Mailan Town!"
