The city lord praised him several times, his face extremely excited. "Xu Mu, well done! My original plan was to secretly bring a monster to Horn Island and have you defeat it. I would then arrange for a press conference to capture the scene and publish it in the newspapers. But I really didn't expect... you would actually accomplish such a feat! Hey, saving 8,000 vanguard soldiers, you deserve a medal for that!"
trivial.
trivial.
Xu Mu said, "This wasn't my credit. I just stumbled upon it by accident. It was the island god and the strange bird that truly saved the vanguard."
The city lord shook his head. "Basic facts are still facts. Journalism and media work require a clear stance, but my weekly magazine and I don't have such things as stances. We're more flexible... In short, I'll be in charge of publicity, you don't have to worry about it. Besides, don't you, Xu Mu, have any credit? If you hadn't lifted the seal, who knows what the situation would be like now!"
"..."
Xu Mu opened his mouth but said nothing.
Fine.
It's a basic fact, so be it.
Anyway, it was the evil done by the Canglan bandit, and has nothing to do with me, Xu Mu.
The city lord stood with his hands behind his back, as if considering how to launch a public opinion offensive.
Xu Mu felt strange. He looked at the army outside the window and asked, "Lord City Lord, why don't you seem to be in a hurry at all? You still have time to think about hype and publicity? The troops on the Crab Patroclus just had a close call! Didn't you notice that energy just now? The whole island is glowing and about to explode! If it weren't for the strange bird's superb skills, severing the connection between the Flesh and Blood Island and the mastermind, the consequences... Tsk tsk, unimaginable!"
The city lord glanced at him and asked, "Are you nervous?"
"Why should I be nervous? I don't care."
"Don't worry. First and foremost, we have to admit that the 'Island of Flesh and Blood' was an accident, a tactic we didn't know about beforehand. If it weren't for that great white bear, the worst outcome for our Central Land wouldn't be the loss of 8,000 soldiers, but total annihilation!"
Not bad.
The Sea Fog Demon King only revealed his trump card after being forced.
The old city lord is very sober.
He understood that if the bear demons had not intervened, the trump card of the Flesh and Blood Island would have to be left until the distant future.
Once the main forces of the central land are within his grasp, the Sea Fog Demon King will overturn the table and capture them all in one fell swoop!
Now...
The city lord remained calm and his tone steady: "The Sea Fog Demon King has a good hand, but don't we in the Central Land have any other tricks up our sleeves? If we weren't fully prepared, who would dare to launch a war against demons? Life would be miserable. Xu Mu, relax—fate is on our side, and you're a lucky guy! Look, have we ruined the Sea Fog Demon King's plan for no reason? If nothing unexpected happens, this war against demons will be over within a month!"
"..."
Xu Mu remained silent.
It is right to despise the enemy strategically. If we are facing a powerful enemy now and are at a loss as to what to do, then what is the point of fighting the war against the devil?
However, it is also necessary to pay attention to the enemy tactically.
Defeat the Sea Fog Demon King within a month?
Xu Mu hesitated and said, "A month, are you sure?"
The city lord smiled slightly and said, "We have been actively preparing for this day for fifty years. What do you think?"
Chapter 168 #165 Save, save, save!
The Central Government’s confidence is also a good thing for Xu Mu.
Although it has only been a month since Xu Mu came here, he has already established some preliminary interpersonal relationships. If he is forced to move, all his efforts will be wasted.
Furthermore.
The elf is still locked in the basement. We can do without the house, but we can’t do without the elf, right?
"If you have confidence, then I have confidence too. Right here—I wish you success!"
Xu Mu looked around.
He groaned, then continued, "Lord City Lord, I've taken care of things for you on Horn Island. What's next? The front line is quite far from the Free City. I'll help you with any publicity tasks I can."
The city lord waved his hand and said, "There's nothing more to cooperate with. If you want to go back, go ahead. If there's anything else, I'll send someone to communicate with you."
Row.
The Owl and Bear Demons have arrived, and it is estimated that the Rose Demon King will be arriving soon.
I haven't seen her for a year, and I don't know what the Demon King has become. To be honest, I miss her a lot.
Xu Mu was about to leave when the city lord thought of something.
He clapped his hands and said, "No...Xu Mu, the Xifeng Young Master of the West Lord's family may be in a very dangerous situation now!"
"?"
what?
Xu Mu frowned and said, "Tell me in detail."
……
……
"Boom boom boom——"
A small ironclad ship was speeding across the ocean. Xu Mu and the woman in black skirt stood at the bow, feeling the sea breeze.
The time is six hours later.
Six hours ago, Xu Mu left the Krabby Patty. To avoid suspicion, he didn't go to see the Bear Demon and the Owl, but simply asked the black skirt to send a fax to inform them of his itinerary.
As for the people seeing me off...
There were only the city lord and a guard beside General Doug.
The guard said that General Doug was busy with official duties and could not come in person, but he sent a sword as encouragement.
[Dulongjiao]: With fine workmanship and high-quality materials, this sword is sturdy and sharp, and even has the rune "Flame Enchantment", making it even more lethal when swung.
can only say.
not bad.
After the game information was displayed, a purple weapon appeared, which was just okay. Xu Mu's current weapon was still the novice sword bought by the military police. The Dulong Horn was at least much stronger than the novice sword.
There is no apparent danger in this outing, but after all, we are going to the territory of a demon king.
In addition to the four-piece suit and the Demon-Slaying Armor, Xu Mu also brought the artifact "Power of Dagon" - not for any reason, but to bring peace of mind.
The woman in the black skirt stood next to Xu Mu. She lowered her head to look at the documents in her hand and said, "Captain Canglan, the maze on the Turning Island is an Abyss-level maze. The maze leader is unknown, but it is speculated that he is a powerful subordinate of the Sea Mist Demon King. According to the intelligence above, General Doug has given the task of conquering this maze to the first heir to the position of Commander Xi... Abyss-level mazes are extremely difficult, and I don't know if Young Master Xifeng and the heir can withstand it."
is it?
Xu Mu took the information and glanced at it casually.
Make sense.
Although Xu Mu was unwilling to take risks, he was not afraid of taking risks at all.
An abyssal maze...
what?
Xu Mu's current attributes can fight against the Demon King on equal terms, so a small Abyss Lord can only be said to be ridiculous.
Young Master Xifeng is a kind person. If they encounter any difficulties, there is no need to just take a few photos to pretend. Xu Mu plans to go out personally and scatter the ashes of the maze leader!
After reading the documents in his hand, Xu Mu had a better understanding of the matter.
After Master Xifeng returned home, Commander Xizhi immediately asked him to join the army and follow the vanguard troops to the front line.
Xifeng did not refuse and accepted the task resolutely.
He followed his eldest brother - the first heir of the Xifeng family, the eldest brother of everyone in this generation, Sicily, the Young Master Xi - to the Whirlpool Island to carry out the operation.
According to the predetermined plan.
The main task of Sicily and Zephyr is to establish a reliable defensive stronghold and, if they have spare capacity, conduct limited exploration of the Abyss Labyrinth in order to create offensive conditions for the subsequent main force.
As an elite of the Xizhi family, Sicily is mature and prudent, without any reckless ideas.
He performed very well in carrying out the task in the most stable manner.
however……
An accident happened.
After Xiao used the "Cranial Seal" to break the Sea Fog Demon King's annihilation plan centered on the "Flesh and Blood Islands", the Sea Fog Demon King did not hesitate and directly activated all the Flesh and Blood Islands to attack the human army on them!
The Spiral Island is not within the "core defense circle", but the Sicilian team was also attacked by the "Flesh and Blood Spiral Island"!
In desperation, Sicily sent a final report to the headquarters:
"My unit has come under attack from an unknown source. This island has come alive! The earth is breathing, the trees are tentacles, and there's no place to stand on Whirlpool Island! My unit has suffered heavy casualties and is unable to break out. I've decided to lead the remaining personnel into the 'Abyss-level maze' in search of a glimmer of hope! I hope the command center will rescue us quickly! Rescue us quickly! Rescue us quickly!"
Tsk tsk.
How miserable.
But relatively speaking, Sicily and Zephyr are lucky.
They were not the only ones sent out to consolidate the island's defenses. Some teams went to an island without a maze. When the tentacles snapped down, they had nowhere to hide and could only jump into the sea to survive.
Xifeng and others were able to hide in the maze and wait for rescue, which was another way to survive.
Now, General Doug and his command are mobilizing troops to rescue the troops that have lost contact.
Although Xu Mu was not under their command, the reputation of "Blue Bandit" was still very prominent.
General Doug acted decisively and immediately revoked his title of "Commander-in-Chief of Horn Island" and appointed him as "Captain of the Rescue Team of Whirlpool Island". In addition to the black skirt, he also assigned him two healing adventurers to go to the rescue.
On the speedboat, the two girls felt uneasy.
They are twins, one has red hair and the other has blue hair. They look obviously different. Otherwise, no one would think they are twins.
Their names are Ruby and Sapphire, and they are level 50 healing warlocks.
"Captain Canglan, look! That's probably Whirlpool Island!"
What do you mean by probably?
Xu Mu followed the guard's finger and saw a...
Uh.
One...
Ok.
All in all, it looked like a giant green turtle swimming in the ocean with a gleaming portal on its back.
Countless tentacles paddled the water back and forth, pushing the island towards the Sea Fog Demon King's Palace.
The speed is quite fast.
Xu Mu looked at it for a while and said, "Guards, lower the speedboat."
The guard nodded. "This ironclad ship will be hovering around the island. Captain Canglan, if the rescue is successful or if retreat is necessary, please release a signal flare. We will drive the ship closer and pick you up."
Xu Mu nodded. "Be careful and don't rush ahead. If the ship is sunk, even if I rescue the people, it will be useless."
"Please do not worry."
Bang bang.
The guard thumped his breastplate and bowed his head in salute: "Captain Canglan, I wish you success in this battle!"
The guards on the side cooperated and put a speedboat into the sea.
Xu Mu looked at the Ruby and Sapphire sisters and said, "You two, follow me."
PS: Although there are only 12 chapters left to go, I will still add more chapters after I pay them off. My fellow book friends, would you mind giving me some votes?
I write very hard every day! !
