Doomsday Mage summons the undead.

Chapter 256 Kane
In this backward village, people live in extreme poverty and are overwhelmed by heavy taxes.

Residents often have to rely on bark and grass roots to feed their hunger.

However, in this difficult environment, the richest man in the village held a grand engagement ceremony, and the scene of preparing the banquet was bustling and lively.

On that night, the home of the richest man, Lao Tian, ​​was decorated like a paradise.

Colored lanterns decorate every street corner and eaves.

Some relatives and friends came to help and prepare the blessings for this special day.

The chefs started cooking delicious meals early on, far surpassing the rough food that the villagers usually eat.

The table is filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, like a series of fragrant temptations.

Although those dishes are better than the bark grass roots that the villagers usually eat, they are still a luxury treat for ordinary people.

There is grilled meat, the meat is tender and juicy, and every piece seems to be exuding an alluring aroma.

There are also stewed soups that are fragrant and bring a feeling of warmth and satisfaction.

In addition to meat and soup, there are also a variety of colorful vegetables and fruits placed on the banquet.

Bright colors and attractive smells stimulate every relative and friend present.

The richest man in the village has carefully selected the best ingredients to showcase his wealth.

The banquet scene was full of laughter from relatives and friends, people toasted and blessed, and talked freely.

Festive music floated in the air, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

A small song and dance performance was held in the courtyard of the richest man's house. The warm and joyful atmosphere made people forget about poverty and injustice.

As for the richest man, Lao Tian, ​​when he saw his daughter and son-in-law toasting to his relatives and friends in business or relatives, a smile appeared on his face full of vicissitudes.

"Old Tian, ​​we are leaving." Cheng Xiao came to Lao Tian's side and said softly.

Lao Tian was a little surprised, why did the newlyweds leave before their toasts arrived at their table?

Qi Lin took a step forward, watched Lao Tian hand over an ordinary constitution potion, and said politely: "I still have something to do, so I won't bother you any more."

Lao Tian looked at the potion that Qi Lin handed over in surprise, and the magic pattern that happened to flash across it told Lao Tian that this is an extraordinary potion!
"This..." Lao Tian hurriedly shook his hands, and said with a little panic on his face: "You will not be rewarded for your merits, and you have not been treated well, which is impossible."

"The three of them arranged such a sumptuous table for us. It's just a little thought." Qi Lin smiled lightly, and stuffed the medicine into Lao Tian's hands.

Seeing that Lao Tian was about to refuse, Qi Lin said directly: "Your health doesn't seem to be very good, so don't be too polite."

The investigation panel shows that Lao Tian's condition is in decline.

Lao Tian frowned slightly, but still shook his head stubbornly, and stuffed the potion back into Qi Lin's hand: "It is for Lao Tian's face that guests can come to visit, and we must not ask for anything from guests anymore."

When Lao Tian refused, a group of uninvited guests arrived.

The wind blew through the grass, trembling slightly.

In the distance, the sound of horse hooves sounded, gradually approaching here with a heavy rhythm.

The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer, echoing on the ground, as if it indicates who is coming.

Every step on the ground made the relatives, friends and guests who participated in the banquet look a little flustered, and even Lao Tian's face showed a serious expression.

"Master, according to the school's deduction, if this is Natasha's game, then the first important node should be this team of the mayor's personal armed forces."

Old Ten's voice appears in Soul Link.

Qi Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, looked into the distance, and replied softly in the soul link: "Don't care about it anymore, it will be artificial if you care too much, just be yourself."

With the sound of horseshoes, the whistling sound also followed.

The mayor's personal armed forces, the Flower Guards, shouted slogans in unison with loud and powerful voices, as if announcing their arrival.

On this quiet land, yellow smoke began to rise.

It rolls in the distance, as if it is a symbol of the aura of the city of yellow sand, and is also the mark of the horses driven by the knights roaring past.

The yellow smoke brings a special atmosphere, which seems to closely connect the horses and knights.

Rumor has it that these mayor’s executioners kill people every time they appear.

And their horses come from the distant city of yellow sand, which is a hybrid product of a monster. The horseshoes emit the smell of yellow sand, which is a kind of extraordinary power, and has the ability to walk on the yellow sand , can be regarded as a unique product of the city of yellow sand.

The panic on the faces of the guests became more and more intense.

It was known that the arrival of the knights meant a kind of class dominance and domination.

Every time these yellow sands come, they will change the fate of some people in this land, so as to show the majesty and strength of the town, and deter those who dare to offend.

The yellow sand filled the air, and people couldn't see their figures, but their sense of existence was everywhere.

The sound of people arriving before anyone arrived, the sound of horse hooves, the shouts of knights and the billowing of yellow smoke, seemed to tell of an upcoming turbulent moment.

Didn't these flower guards go outside the town to clear up the horse bandits?
Why are you here suddenly?

Are they going to kill again?
But this is Lao Tian's house!

Lao Tian is a person with connections in the Yellow Sand City. The mayor has been polite to Lao Tian for 30 years. Even the taxes were handed over by Lao Tian on his own initiative!

Such a good relationship.

Why did the Flower Guard come here?
However, no matter how complex people's expectations are, the arrival of the Cavaliers has become an irreversible reality.

As a person in the game, Qi Lin ordered the ghost to report the information of the Flower Guard again.

Flower Guard, the mayor's personal armed force.

The war horse was brought by the mayor from the barracks in the city of yellow sand under the banner of the apostle.

The reason why it is named Flower Guard is because.
They wore helmets made of fresh flowers, each one of the most beautiful wild flowers in the poor village.

That's right, wild flowers, not precious flowers.

No one knows why the flower guards in full body armor wear flower helmets that have no defense at all.

The defensive effect of this thing is almost nothing!

And no one knows, why wildflowers?

Rumor has it that the mayor likes wildflowers because they symbolize hope and resilience.

The total number of members of the guard is about 200 people. Except for Kane, the commander of the heroic soul, the rest of the members are all gold top ranks.

They wore light armor and exuded a menacing majesty.

Wearing standard steel swords symbolizes their power and glory.

Because this is not an armament that ordinary people can have.

The action of holding the whip is firm and strict, demonstrating their strict requirements for discipline.

The knights' mounts were equally impressive.

The knights rode high-quality war horses from the city of yellow sand. These magnificent mounts were bred in the barren and harsh desert.

They are purebred warhorses, clad in smooth brown fur, exuding an aura of nobility and power.

These war horses are long-legged, tall, strong and muscular, with agile movements and amazing speed.

The warhorses are equipped with ornate saddles and shiny copper bells, and the melodious sound of bells echoes in the air with the sound of their hooves.

The knights hold the reins of the horses with great skill and grace, and drive them to slaughter all those who dare to resist. .

They are powerful, swift as the wind, exuding an unparalleled majesty and strength in the night, especially when the horseshoes emit yellow sand.

Commander Kane has a grim expression on his face all year round, and his dark brown eyes reveal endless arrogance and contempt.

He likes to wave the horsewhip in his hand, make a sharp and powerful whipping sound, and punish those poor people who are unwilling to pay taxes.

His movements were haughty and cruel, mercilessly beating the poor who were powerless to fight back.

The poor people bled and groaned under the suppression of the knights.

They were whipped mercilessly by the knights, and the sound of the whips resounded throughout the village in the night, like a proclamation of the shame of poverty and disobedience.

The desperation and helplessness of these vicious actions made the poor tremble, but they could not resist these tyrannical knights.

With their own power and the strength of their equipment, the knights treated the poor at will and trampled them underfoot.

The absurd injustice makes people angry and rebellious, but they are powerless to fight against this fierce oppression.

The sound of brutal whipping came to the face, and each whipping was accompanied by the cry of the poor and the wail of pain.

The Supreme Knights are indifferent to their suffering, only concerned with their fulfillment of their tax obligations.

This barbaric and ruthless behavior has further widened the huge gap between rich and poor, pushing the poor people in this area into an even darker abyss.

When Kane, the leader of the Flower Guard, shuttled through the yellow sand to everyone.

He glanced casually, and saw the dignified or frightened guests.

Some even had a guilty conscience and started to climb over the wall and run.

All this happened in the eyes of the leader Kane.

As the representative of the power in the town, he was ordered to settle Lao Tian's family this time, and plundered all the property that the mayor had raised for more than 30 years.

The day when the mayor had said the great man would arrive was fast approaching.

Kane didn't know what kind of big shot the mayor was welcoming. He only knew that he was a big shot who could decide the lives and deaths of many people with just one look.

One look can determine the super big figures in the city of yellow sand, including the city lord!

For this reason, Kane became even more angry and tried hard to suppress the mud-legged people with force.

If there is no tax, where will the money come to buy magic patterns? Without magic patterns, how can the road of flowers to welcome big shots keep in full bloom?

If the flower path that the big shot likes is not in full bloom, how can the big shot be happy?
Just as Commander Kane was about to throw the bloody bag in his hand to the ground, he suddenly discovered a heresy.

Beside the richest man, Lao Tian, ​​stood a thin figure wrapped in a black robe.

Kane didn't pay much attention to Qi Lin when he glanced at him for the first time.

He focused more on those guests, which ones he could use to enrich his own pockets and kill them by the way.

As the richest man, Lao Tian's family, who is armed, connected, and wealthy, is also on the mayor's tax collection list.

However, Kane followed the order of the mayor and put it last.

As for the reason?

Maybe the mayor is worried about Lao Tian’s connections in the Chamber of Commerce in the City of Yellow Sand?

Or maybe, the mayor is going to raise the old farm again. Who would have thought that the Road of Flowers would require too many magic patterns, so the mayor would do it in advance?

Kane doesn't know either, for Kane.

It does not matter.

What about the contacts in the city of yellow sand?
As long as they kill everything, Hun'er can still go to the city of yellow sand to file a complaint?

Even if the complaint is filed, as long as the affairs of the Flower Road are done well, even the mayor of the city, Kane thinks that the mayor can sit down for a while.

But now, Kane's battle premonition told him: This man wrapped in black robes is not as thin and simple as he looks on the outside.

"Hey!" Kane lightly urged the horse, came to Lao Tian, ​​looked down at Lao Tian and smiled, "Is this Lao Tian's friend in the city of yellow sand?"

Before he finished speaking, the war horse suddenly felt a terrifying aura lingering underground!
That was the breath of the Crypt Demon deliberately exuding under the order of Lao Jiu.

As underground killers, their breath can be called the natural enemy of these war horses!

The war horse screamed, suddenly raised its body and turned around to run away.

Kane, who was sitting high on the horse, didn't know what happened, he just threw the bag to the ground, then got off the horse and held down the horse tightly with one hand!

"what happened?"

Kane looked at the frightened war horse. For some reason, although the war horse was firmly pressed to the ground by him, it still kicked its limbs and wanted to escape here.

Seeing this scene, Qi Lin frowned slightly and said to the soul link: "That's almost enough, Lao Jiu."

Following Lao Jiu's promise, the Crypt Demon gathered his breath and lurked again.

The war horse then became quiet.

After Kane asked his men to take the horse away, he might have lost face in shame. Kane picked up the bag and asked Lao Tian again: "Your friend?"

Old Tian's face showed confusion, he knew the purpose of Kane's coming here.

Lao Tian didn't want to implicate the innocent, let alone Cheng Xiao.

After weighing it in his mind, he gritted his teeth and said to Kane: "Travelers who are lost in the distance, seeing that I have a happy event here, come here to ask for a wedding drink."

As soon as Lao Tian's voice came out, Qi Lin was slightly taken aback by his words.

He originally thought that Lao Tian would involve him.

Because according to the ghost's intelligence, these knights surrounded Lao Tian's yard from all directions, and they seemed to be coming with bad intentions.

In Lao Tian's face, it seems that he also has psychological expectations for this.

In this kind of drowning situation, most people will grab anything at will, they only hope that what they grab is a life-saving straw, and they don't care whether it will hurt others.

But Lao Tian didn't do that.

Qi Lin doesn't think it's his own personal charm, it should be the reason why he doesn't want to involve Cheng Xiao.

"Oh."

Kane's eyes flickered, and the proud expression resumed on his face,

do not know.

It means that either this person is not strong enough, and Lao Tian doesn't want to get involved.

Or, really don't know.

It seems that this accident will not affect the progress of our planned plan.

With a relaxed expression, Kane raised his head slightly and untied the blood-stained cloth bag. The mouth of the cloth bag was facing down, and a dead head fell from the cloth bag to the ground.

bang bang
The human head slowly rolled down to Lao Tian's feet.

The blood-stained head made the guests around who dare not move rashly exclaim, but they all covered their mouths and bowed their heads not daring to look.

That was Wang Dali's head.

Cheng Xiao, who hurriedly covered Alice's eyes, recognized at a glance that it was Wang Dali's head!

And Qi Lin also remembered that it was the head of the principled robber from before!

"When I came back from paying off the robbers earlier, I happened to see the robbers carrying weapons and dirty money to buy talisman water."

Kane smiled, and casually said to Lao Tian, ​​"This man's name is Wang Dali, from your village."

"I remember him, he used to work in a factory." Lao Tian nodded slightly and replied.

"That's right, his wife was begging in the town earlier, and her leg was broken." Kane kicked Wang Dali's head casually, and laughed as if he was talking gossip: "I heard that his wife was seriously ill. It was so heavy that the family didn’t even have the bran noodles the pigs ate.”

"Hey!" Kane stepped on the human head with a slight force on his toes.

Yellow and white things splashed on Lao Tian's hem, while Qi Lin who was around had already retreated to the side and survived.

"Old Tian, ​​how do you think he got these nineteen coppers?"

Kane raised his head and looked at Qi Lin strangely, not understanding how this person reacted so quickly.

But thinking of the traveler's rhetoric that Lao Tian said, Kane knew in his heart, after all, how can he travel around the world without two brushes.

As long as the other party does not hinder the plan, Kane will not intentionally trouble Qi Lin, let alone try it.

Kane, who used to be a mercenary, knew very well that temptation sometimes means starting a war, and no one wants to add trouble for nothing.

"I don't know." Lao Tian replied softly.

"Hey." Kane shifted his gaze back to Lao Tian.

After looking carefully for a long time, Kane said with a smile: "In my opinion, he should have stolen money from your house, right?"
