Chapter 289: Allocation of Areas

Speak of the devil, and he will appear.

As soon as Mu Liang finished speaking, he heard the sound of clothes fluttering behind him.

Everyone looked back suddenly and saw a dark crowd of people surrounding them. There were at least nearly a hundred people. Every warrior was confident and surrounded them in a mighty manner.

Li Hanxue and the other eleven people were as if they were facing a great enemy. They all showed vigilance on their faces. In front of this group of people, they were like trapped beasts, lonely and powerless.

Fortunately, this group of people was not a single force, but was composed of forces from three cities. These three cities were all third-class cities, namely Wangjiang City, Yuanzhao City and Jinghai City. Among them, Yuanzhao City ranked the highest among the third-class cities, ranking third. Wangjiang ranked second, ranking ninth, and Jinghai ranked the last, ranking twelfth. However, even so, Jinghai was far higher than Nanling City.

The muscles on Ji Shixiong's face twitched, revealing a trace of panic. He recognized the people from Yuanzhao City. They were all wearing purple long gowns with strange patterns and dragons and phoenixes entwined, which was very luxurious. The captain of Yuanzhao City three years ago was named Xie Jianwei, and he was still the same three years later. This man had a slightly handsome appearance, a thin and long body, like a stick, and not much muscle on his body, but he was almost as tall as Ji Shixiong. He looked very scary from a distance, as if he was stretched out by a person.

Li Hanxue noticed a trace of fear on Ji Shixiong's face and said, "Who is this person?"

"Xie Jianwei, the captain of Yuanzhao City. His strength is almost unmatched in the third-class city, and he must not be provoked!"

"Who are the leaders of the other two teams?" Li Hanxue said.

Ji Shixiong said: "The other team is from Wangjiang City. They have helped me before. As for which city the last team is from, I don't know."

The three forces approached Li Hanxue and others. Xie Jianwei glanced at Li Hanxue and others and said in a cold tone: "Which city are you from?"

"Hey, isn't this the brother from Nanling City?" Qiu He, the captain of Wangjiang City, found Ji Shixiong in the crowd, "Brother Ji, I knew that you Nanling City would come again this year. It seems that you have two more brothers this year."

Ji Shixiong stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Qiu, don't make fun of me. I am no longer the captain today. This is our captain."

Ji Shixiong pointed at Li Hanxue. Qiu He turned his head to look at Li Hanxue and smiled: "What is your name, brother?"

"Li Hanxue."

"It turns out to be Brother Li. Nice to meet you."

After the greetings, Qiu He and Ji Shixiong began to chat. Zheng Xian, the captain of Jinghai City, showed a hint of impatience and walked quickly past Qiu He.

Then Xie Jianwei followed with huge steps.

Qiu He smiled and said, "Let's not chat for now. I guess everyone is here to get merit points. If there is no good base, it will be difficult to kill a large number of beasts. Let's catch up with them."

Then Li Hanxue and eleven others and nearly thirty people from Wangjiang City also followed quickly.

Not long after, the four forces had arrived at a wide flat land. There was an unclear magic fog in front of them. A stone was thrown in front of them, and only an empty plop sound was heard. It can be seen that under the cover of the magic fog, there is another layer of abyss. Entering it may reach the transition zone mentioned by Ji Shixiong.

But no one dares to go in here now. Everyone is from a third-class city, and no one has the courage to challenge the unknown dangers ahead.

"Let's start allocating areas." Someone in the crowd shouted.

Xie Jianwei and his men had already occupied a piece of open space about 100 feet away from the magic fog. With a stroke of his finger, a red light shot out and formed a circle, representing that this place belonged to their Yuanzhao City.

Ji Shixiong quickly leaned over to Li Hanxue's ear and said, "Captain, quickly choose an area on the left and right sides of Yuanzhao City. Originally, the area of ​​Yuanzhao City was the best. The beasts would gather in large numbers in that area, and the first wave of attacks was blocked by the area in front, so their ferocity was weakened, just right to kill them."

This open space can be roughly divided into four areas. The first area facing the magic fog is the most vulnerable. That area is definitely the worst. The beasts rushed out from it, and it was the time when they were furious. Their strength and speed were the most violent. If they were stationed there, not only would they not be able to kill many beasts, but they would be attacked to death by the endless beasts.

The second area is where Yuanzhao City is located. After being buffered by the first area, the beasts' strength has been weakened, making them the easiest to kill, which is the best. The two areas next to it are the safest, but they can only pick up the missed kills in Yuanzhao City. Although it is not a good place, it is definitely a hundred times better than the first area.

Therefore, Ji Shixiong hurriedly persuaded Li Hanxue to occupy the two areas next to Yuanzhao City.

However, as soon as Li Hanxue moved, Zheng Xian, the captain of Jinghai City, raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Don't move, everyone. We are all summoned by the Lord of the Mansion to kill the beasts and protect the lives of the people. We are all well-trained warriors, so we can't be like wild monkeys without rules and occupy the land and set up camp randomly. In my opinion, whoever occupies this land first is the owner. We must discuss and reach a unanimous result and get everyone's consent. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

These words are irrefutable, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Xie Jianwei was a little unhappy. After all, his Yuanzhao City occupied the best position, but seeing that everyone had no objection, it was not easy to say no.

"Okay, since everyone trusts me, then I will tell you a way to allocate each area."

Zheng Xian glanced at Xie Jianwei, paused, and smiled: "The so-called order of seniority, and our three-class cities also have a ranking order. In my opinion, the capable ones will be assigned to the territories where they can kill the most ferocious beasts. This is the rational use of resources and the greatest benefit for the people. Among the cities belonging to our four teams, Yuanzhao City ranks first, Wangjiang City ranks second, Jinghai City ranks third, and Nanling City is the worst. So the Yuanzhao City team led by Brother Xie is in the center and deserves it. The Wangjiang City team led by Brother Qiu is on the left and right of Brother Xie, and Brother Qiu can choose it. The other area left by Brother Qiu belongs to our Jinghai City."

When Ji Shixiong heard this, he was immediately furious: "Then what about our Nanling City?"

Zheng Xian did not regard the people of Nanling City as human beings at all. Nanling City has always been at the bottom of Wuding Prefecture. Zheng Xian is afraid of anyone but not the people of Nanling City. Therefore, he laughed unscrupulously: "Of course, the worst of you will be assigned to the area closest to the magic fog. Is there any need to ask?"

"Why do you want us to be cannon fodder?" Ji Shixiong was very angry.

Qingluo was neither happy nor worried, just staring at Li Hanxue to see what Li Hanxue would do next.

Xie Jianwei, who was of a thin figure, looked down at Ji Shixiong and said: "I agree with this proposal, Zheng Xian also agrees, as for Qiu He, he has acquiesced by not expressing his opinion. You are a waste from a small Nanling City, not even a captain, what qualifications do you have to protest?"

Ji Shixiong was so angry that his veins bulged, but he did not dare to vent his anger. Xie Jianwei and Zheng Xian were obviously in collusion, and although Qiu He had some friendship with Ji Shixiong, under such circumstances, he did not dare to openly unite with Nanling City, which ranked at the bottom, to fight against Xie Jianwei and Zheng Xian. This was tantamount to seeking death, so Qiu He could only choose to remain silent.

In the past, the forces of Xie Jianwei and Zheng Xian were enough to crush the forces of Nanling City, let alone now that they are united. Therefore, even with the powerful Li Hanxue leading the team, Ji Shixiong did not have the confidence to resist them. He could only hold back his anger, his face flushed.

Li Hanxue patted Ji Shixiong's sturdy right arm and said coldly: "It doesn't matter, listen to their arrangements first, they will regret it later."
