Chapter 215: A Sudden Turn of Events

Deadwater Oasis, Deadwater Village.

After receiving the black smoke signal, the construction of the city wall has stopped, and all the construction workers on the construction site have evacuated.

Mojimus led the craftsmen of the Defias Brotherhood to Thunder Peak as soon as possible, and then the ogre slaves and kobold slaves were also escorted to Thunder Peak by the murlocs.

On the other side, Benbolba led all the murlocs except the fighting murlocs to gather at the lake of Deadwater Oasis. He was directing these murlocs to carry the construction wood and push it into the water, and to move the food in the warehouse built by the lake.

This time, even if the centaurs came with a large army, they could not take away any food.

Slark stood at the unfinished city gate entrance on the north side of Deadwater Village, holding the [Light Body Staff] snatched from the Storm Prophet of Kokar.

Slark kept scolding the restless fighting murlocs, asking them to keep quiet in the large group.

In front of Slark were three hundred neatly arranged fighting murlocs. This time, Yang Yi did not arrange a team of murlocs to ambush outside to attack the flank of the centaurs. He asked all the fighting murlocs to organize a defensive line and defend the Dead Water Village.

Yang Yi himself stood on the top of the unbuilt city gate, where the view was the best and he could maximize the effect of his Eagle Eye.

"I didn't see a single centaur. What's going on? Could it be that the centaurs that the murlocs found were not coming for the Dead Water Oasis?" Yang Yi muttered.

Dead Water Village had made preparations for the war, and even Yang Yi had made pre-war mobilization, but the enemy was slow to come, which made Yang Yi a little puzzled.

Yang Yi did not know that it was Brak who held back the centaurs, so the centaurs had not appeared for a long time. If Yang Yi knew that Brak chose to risk his life to hold back the centaurs, he would definitely stop Brak immediately and scold him.

What's a wall? Talent is the most important thing!

However, Yang Yi didn't know what happened to Brack and the Centaur team. He stood on the unfinished city gate and looked again and again with the Eagle Eye Technique. After half a day, he still didn't see a centaur.

The body structure of the murloc is not suitable for standing straight all the time, because the murloc's head is too big and the center of gravity is very unstable, so the murloc usually likes to walk with a bent body.

After Yang Yi stood up and looked for a while, he soon felt sore in the waist and back. Seeing that the centaur had not appeared yet, he sat down on the top of the unfinished city gate.

Yang Yi sat with his feet dangling in the air. The city gate was five meters high. He climbed up the log scaffolding with great effort. At this time, sitting on the top of the city gate and being blown by the strong wind in the barren land, he felt a little afraid of heights.

At Yang Yi's feet was a line of murlocs. These fighting murlocs had been trained, but their quality was still not high. After waiting in line for a long time, many murlocs began to get impatient. If it weren't for Slark suppressing them in the team, the team would have been incomplete.

The direction from which the first black smoke rose was the west of the Dead Water Oasis. Yang Yi estimated that with the speed of the centaurs, if they were heading directly for the Dead Water Oasis, they should have arrived by now, and there was still no sign of anyone in the west until now.

Yang Yi didn't know that Lu Xiaoming had changed his mind. This time, it was not the large force sent by the Great Chieftain of the Centaurs, Kokar, who was planning to come to the Dead Water Oasis.

If Yang Yi knew that it was only the 100-man centaur team led by Shi Qiang that was coming, he would definitely not be so nervous as now to let the fighting murlocs organize a defense line, but would find a way to eat all the 100-man centaur team.

Yang Yi sat on the city gate and waited. Not long after, several people slowly walked towards the city gate.

Yang Yi looked down from above and saw that it was an old acquaintance.

The people who came to see Yang Yi at this time were from the Qin Kun Society, but not Lu Xiaoming and his group, but Mu Xiaolan.

As a member of the Qin Kun Society, Mu Xiaolan was the most well-informed. She had long been aware of the connection between Lu Xiaoming and his group and the Centaurs. When she heard that Lu Xiaoming had changed his mind, she immediately came to the Dead Water Oasis to find the fishmen.

"You came to me to talk about investing in Dead Water Village?"

Yang Yi climbed down from the city wall. He was surprised to hear that Mu Xiaolan was planning to invest in Dead Water Village at this time.

After Dead Water Village was looted and destroyed by the Centaurs, those investors came and clamored to withdraw their investment. Although Mu Xiaolan did not do so, she did not express her support for Dead Water Village like the Holy Sword Knights did.

Why did Mu Xiaolan plan to invest in Dead Water Village at this critical moment?

"Is it because she saw that this lord led the fishmen to build a high wall, so she wanted to come and hug her thighs?"

Yang Yi thought about it. These people were the kind of people who would not release their eagles until they saw the rabbit. Perhaps they really thought that Dead Water Village would be stable after the city wall was built, so they came to talk about investment again.

In fact, those adventurers who had planned to invest in Dead Water Village saw the earthen walls being built quickly, but they all heard rumors that Lu Xiaoming and his team had tipped off the centaurs, so they all doubted whether the fishmen in Dead Water Village could stop the centaurs again.

The incident of the centaurs attacking Dead Water Village and setting fire to the village was still vivid in people's minds. At this time, most people who had previously wanted to invest in Dead Water Village were still waiting and watching.

Mu Xiaolan got the news from Qin Kunhui and knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the wall of Dead Water Village could be built safely this time, so she said: "Yes, we will continue to invest in Dead Water Village, and we plan to increase investment."

Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "Investment is fine, we can allocate more houses in the future, but from now on, there is no need to talk about shares."

Yang Yi made a decision this time. All the risk-takers who invested in the village were just grassroots. From now on, it would be safer to keep the backwater village in his own hands. From now on, he did not plan to divide the shares.

Mu Xiaolan didn't expect Yang Yi to change her mind, but she finally agreed after thinking about it for a while.

It's hard to say what the backwater village will develop in the future. It will take a long time for the shares to be profitable. Now that she has more room to live in, she can recruit more members, which will be more beneficial to the rapid development of the Qin Kun Association.

Not long after Mu Xiaolan left, Lu Xiaoming also came.

The whole world knows that Lu Xiaoming has been cooperating with the Kokar Centaur and also tipped off the Centaur who attacked the backwater fish village. But at this moment, this kid didn't hide anything and walked towards the backwater fish-man village without any fear of being seen.

"You also want to invest in the backwater village?" Yang Yi became more doubtful. Didn't Lu Xiaoming follow the centaur?

"Invest, I want to invest." Lu Xiaoming sneakily moved his body closer to Yang Yi, then took out a money bag from his body and put it in Yang Yi's murloc hand, "Mayor murloc, I felt special when I saw you. Kindly, apart from investment, these are my greeting gifts.”

Yang Yi had already been interested in money. He shook the money bag in his hand, and the sound of coins colliding and the weight came from the money bag. He immediately estimated that there were about a hundred gold coins in it.

"You see, there will always be a sequence of houses being built from now on. Can you give us a few rooms to live in first?" Lu Xiaoming asked with a sly smile.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I'm very friendly when I see you. You will definitely have a share in the first batch of houses." Yang Yi also opened his fish-like mouth with a charming smile.

Lu Xiaoming stuffed the red envelope and wanted to go through the back door. When Yang Yi saw how smart this kid was, he immediately accepted the bribe with a smile.

When Yang Yi heard that Lu Xiaoming said he planned to invest in Backwater Village, he immediately understood the general idea. Lu Xiaoming plans to betray the Kokar Centaur and help the Backwater Village, so the city wall construction is probably stable.

Yang Yi saw that Lu Xiaoming was so interesting and even stuffed him with red envelopes as soon as he came. He and Lu Xiaoming "hit it off" and soon they started chatting about investment.

…

This is really a turn of events. Due to Lu Xiaoming's betrayal, the Kokal Centaur chief of Sweetwater Oasis was fooled by Lu Xiaoming with false information.

Yang Yi asked the fishmen to continue to be on defensive alert, and then ordered the fishmen patrolling the beach to go to Thunder Peak to call back the builders of the city wall. He did not want to see any accidents happen before the city wall was completely completed.

The fishmen in the Backwater Village had been paying attention to the movements to the west where the black smoke was rising. At this time, a few fishmen with their eyes wandering accidentally discovered that a large army appeared in the northwest direction.

The fishman quickly reported the situation to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi ran to the front and used his eagle eye technique to see that there was something wrong. This large force seemed to be coming from the direction of the crossroads towards the backwater oasis.

"It's an orc!"

"A large group of orc soldiers are coming, and there seems to be a large group of humans. They are marching towards the backwater oasis!"

The tribe and the alliance are still at war, so the humans who can get together with the orcs of the tribe are naturally not the humans of the alliance, but the adventurers.

Yang Yi was a little panicked. Before the centaurs came, the orcs came to the backwater oasis first, and they seemed to bring adventurers as helpers. Judging from the current situation, they didn't look like they were trying to drive them away. Centaur just showed up.

Could it be that the target of the orcs is the fishmen in the backwater village?

Since the last fight with the orcs in the backwater oasis, the relationship between the fish and the orcs has been forged, but Yang Yi has no regrets. According to Yang Yi's temperament, it is impossible for him to keep his head down like a bastard and a turtle when others come to his territory and run wild.

Yang Yi didn't want to let himself and the Ratchet fishman be the grandson of a turtle, even if the other party was an orc from the tribe.

Panicking, Yang Yi knew that as a murloc lord, he couldn't show off to the fighting murlocs below. So he calmed himself down first, and then told Slack the situation, asking him to quickly stabilize his defense.

"Come if the orcs come, whether it's an ox or a horse, come out for a ride. We rattlefish people are not vegetarians either."

Yang Yi was worried, but he was no longer so panicked. He thought that he should first see what the other party was doing here, and then think about other things. .
