Chapter 230 In Mailan Town

Under Lin's guidance, Lei Xiao and his party of ten galloped forward.

Accompanied by the bitter wind whistling past in his ears.

It didn't take long for the outline of a town about the size of Kongqing Town to gradually come into view.

The one-and-a-half-day carriage journey for ordinary people is only a ten-minute journey for the fast-moving Lei Xiao and others.

"Reached?"

Seeing the barns and windmills gradually emerging in the distance, Lei Xiao, who was riding on the giant white wolf, waved his hands, signaling the subordinates to slow down.

When the team came to a complete stop, Lei Xiao easily jumped off Bai Wei's back. With a thought, he handed out the illusion cloak and said, "Let's go to the city and have a look."

"Obey! Your lord!"

The subordinates took over the cloaks, bowed and said.

Not long after, Lei Xiao and most of the subordinates put on the illusion cloak that could change their appearance.

The knotweed and Ye Cang were hidden under the invisibility cloak as trump cards.

After disguising as ordinary travelers, Lei Xiao and his party walked along the flat road that was neither wide nor narrow, and soon came to the outskirts of the city.

I saw a lot of green farmland around the city.

Inside and outside the field ridges, you can also see the figures of many farmers farming. There is a sense of busy farming season between coming and going.

"My lord, our Kongqing Town is mainly engaged in commerce, while this Mailan Town is an agricultural town."

Lin, who was only listening to the side, introduced respectfully.

After putting on the illusion cloak, although her sassy and delicate face became much more ordinary.

But between the brows, there is a bit of heroism added, coupled with the fair face, at first glance, he looks like a high-spirited young man.

"I see."

Lei Xiao nodded, narrowed his eyes, and continued to observe.

Behind the large green farmland, there is the city's towering stone city wall.

The city wall here is significantly higher than that of Kongqing Town, almost comparable to that of Songlin City.

There are many figures on it, the flags are fluttering in the wind, and the guarding force looks extremely impressive.

"My lord, unlike Kongqing Town, which has only emerged in recent years, this Mailan Town has been run by a family for generations, and has a relatively deep foundation."

Lin, who was following closely beside Lei Xiao, introduced again softly: "Here, there are a total of 4,000 regular garrison troops and 3 squadrons of second-tier elite guards, and like Kongqing Town, there are also 1,000 People's regular troops were transferred to the frontier battlefield."

"That is to say, there are 3 regular defense forces of brigades and elite defense forces of 3 squadrons here? In terms of strength alone, it is indeed stronger than Kongqing Town."

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, and while continuing to look around, he asked again: "Then how many strong people above the third rank are here?"

"Master Lord Hui, according to the investigation of his subordinates, including the city lord himself, there are a total of 9 third-tier powerhouses, and 2 of them are currently on the frontier battlefield. There is no fourth-tier or higher powerhouse."

Lin bowed slightly, and responded like a few treasures.

"Very well, Lynn, good investigation."

Lei Xiao nodded approvingly, and refocused on the surrounding scene.

Not long after, Lei Xiao and his party, who walked briskly, had already arrived at the gate of the city.

I saw the two teams of tall guards guarding the gate standing neatly, and the armor on their bodies gleamed under the sunlight.

But the faces of the soldiers were all sad, and they didn't pay attention to the pedestrians, let alone fulfill their due inspection duties.

"My lord, there is obviously something wrong with these guards, as if they have something on their minds."

Observing the listless guards, Lin frowned and whispered to Lei Xiao.

"Not only the soldiers guarding the gate, but even the local townspeople who come and go seem to be worried."

Lei Xiao looked at the simple farmers who passed by from time to time, carrying all kinds of farm tools, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that something unknown must have happened here recently."

"My lord, do you think that Kumbu was involved in this unknown incident?"

Lin looked around vigilantly and said softly.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out."

Lei Xiao quickened his pace a little, and said, "Let's go to the city and have a look."

After successfully entering Mailan Town, Lei Xiao immediately signaled the most perceptive knotweed to scan as usual.

Then, it started to continue to observe.

The streets of this town reveal an ancient atmosphere everywhere.

The shops and buildings on both sides, and many places with wooden structures, have many traces of new repairs.

Even the road paved with stones under the feet has mostly been smoothed, obviously after a long period of time.

From all aspects, this Mailan town is indeed a city with a lot of history, just as Lin said.

"The most important thing is that there is indeed a strange atmosphere here."

Lei Xiao looked at the pedestrians passing by calmly, and couldn't help thinking to himself.

"My lord, my subordinates found a total of seven third-tier auras here, and five of them are concentrated in the back of the city center."

After a while, the voice of the knotweed hidden under the cloak came through the words.

"If it's not as expected, it's the City Lord's Mansion."

Lei Xiao nodded, and continued walking on the street while muttering.

"My lord, what's strange is that the five third-order auras gathered together are very strong. They are obviously releasing their own energy, and they are in a fighting state, as if they are facing a big enemy."

The slightly puzzled rough voice of the knotweed rang out again.

"oh?"

On Lei Xiao's face, he couldn't help showing a meter of doubt, and asked: "Then what about the other two third-order forces?"

"Return to Lord Lord, the other two third-order forces have not changed in any way."

The respectful voice of the knotweed came to Lei Xiao's ears again.

"The five forces are in a state of fighting, but the other two have not responded? Coupled with the strange atmosphere that permeates the city, what happened here?"

Just when Lei Xiao frowned tightly and thought of this in his heart.

Without any warning, one after another dull horn sounds suddenly came from the center of the town.

Accompanied by the low sound of the horn, the city gate not far behind everyone began to slowly close.

At the same time, the sound of dense footsteps and armor clashing sounded, and a large number of heavily armed soldiers began to rush up the city wall.

The surrounding civilians also began to flee in all directions, competing to close their doors and windows.

There is no doubt that this strange city has obviously entered a state of war inexplicably.
