Chapter 219 intensifies
Things are not moving in a positive direction.
On the second day of the murder, the entire Highlands City ushered in an uproar again. In the same place and in the same way, two merchants who came to Highlands City from the Land of Light were killed, and then the body was hung on the stone tablet again, which made Shan Lide furious. He could never imagine how the other party did this through his own blockade. However, in the same place and in the same way, this was a complete provocation to himself!!
As the actual ruler of Highland City and the second-person of the Holy Snake Society, Shan Lide was not a fuel-saving lamp. He immediately decisively ordered martial law throughout the city and gathered the merchants to send heavy troops to protect them. Although Shan Lide did not actually take these merchants to heart, it still made him unable to get over the face if such a thing happened on his territory. It is still secondary to the difficulty of getting over the face, but in this way, his status is likely to be loose. Originally, Highland City was just a bitter cold on the border before.
No one was stupid enough to compete for his position with him, but now it is different. Highland City is a hot spot in the eyes of many people. Not to mention the Holy Snake Club, even in the Irangnik family, Shan Lide also knew that many people tried to replace him. Now that such a thing happened to his territory, once someone caught him and passed him out, his position would be unstable. But for Shan Lide, he did not have the idea of giving up his position. Therefore, he had to do everything he could to get this matter and capture those damn murderers!!
However, there is another reason why Shan Lide felt irritable, that is, he had heard some merchants retreat in the face of such a threat of death and had already begun to prepare for leaving. He did not want the Miss Miranda to leave because of this, and he had been guarding this ghost place for so many years. He finally saw two beauties he liked, how could they just run away?
Fortunately, based on the information I obtained, the "Miss Miranda" had not intended to leave here, which also made Shan Lide breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had to think of some ways to keep the lady here, otherwise, if the cooked duck flew away, it would be a pity.
But before Shan Lide came up with any way to deal with the lady, the murder happened again.
The same time, the same place, and the same method, the only difference is that the corpse hanging on the stone tablet this time turned into three.
The entire Highlands fell into panic as a result.
Some timid businessmen have already planned to leave. If they were still waiting and watching at the beginning, they can no longer support them. If they just kill people, it would be fine. At worst, the merchants would hire a few more bodyguards. After all, the profit here is very rich. As the saying goes, for money, capitalists can sell the rope that hangs themselves. But the problem is that this method is really weird. Since the first murder, Shan Lide has sent private soldiers to surround the entire square.
And in the second murder case after that, the soldiers in charge of the guards were three layers inside and three layers outside. But even so, they could not detect how the other party came in. This made many merchants feel panic. What was even more terrifying was that while hundreds of soldiers surrounded the entire square, no one saw how the three corpses were hung up. It was like the darkest moment before dawn. After a moment of dimness, three corpses were added to the stone tablet that was originally empty.
This made Shan Lide feel more and more confused. He was sure that the other party had very powerful power. It was possible to easily pass through the blockade of hundreds of private soldiers without being discovered. This is something that ordinary people would definitely not be able to do. Even organizations like the Dark Brotherhood, no one could do this. However, Shan Lide did not give up. He strengthened his security again. He even sent his black elves to secretly assist. This time, Shan Lide swore that he must catch that bastard!!
But unfortunately............... He seemed to have expressed his feelings wrong.
"It's almost done."
Standing in front of the window and looking at the deserted street outside, Rhode's mouth slightly raised, everything was as expected. Now Highland City has begun to become chaotic, but it is not enough. Such chaos is only one aspect, not to the level he expected. Just hunting merchants is almost over here, because hunting merchants is just a means, not an end, and they are killed too many times, which may make people suspect that they are on their own. Although Rhode doesn't care about being blackened by the Kingdom of Light, from the moment, he doesn't want him to be exposed so soon, right?
Then, the next thing is the balanced game.
"Angelint."
Thinking of this, Rhodes restrained his expression and called softly. When he heard his call, Angelint stepped forward half a step.
"What's the matter? Master?"
"This goal is left to you. Do you understand how to do it, right?"
"Of course, master."
Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Angerinte's eyes revealed a glimmer of excitement. She bowed slightly and then retreated. Soon, the shaking black shadow swayed and wrapped the girl's petite figure in it, and then disappeared.
It's already the third day.
The old man stood up and looked at the letter in front of him with a worried look. Now Highland City is becoming more and more uneasy, and Cliff is under strict surveillance. This is definitely not a good sign. Although he doesn't know who is the one who killed the merchant everywhere, if this continues, it is very likely to destroy his plan. Cliff is still too young. Although he has won a lot of people's hearts, he still has no chance of winning once he faces Elannick head-on. Although he comes to ask for help, in terms of the current situation, the help he can give him is very limited.
First of all, we must find out the person who attacked the merchant, otherwise, maybe Shan Lide would use this as a reason to attack Cliff and the others. In this way... things will become very complicated.
Thinking of this, the old man stood up, opened his mouth and wanted to call someone's name. And the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and there was no sound in his mouth, which was supposed to make a sound.
"That's the end, sir."
A white and tender little hand stretched out from the shadow of nothingness and strangled the old man's throat. The next moment, Angelinte, wearing a black and white maid outfit, walked out of it, and the girl's beautiful and delicate face showed a look of pride and arrogant expression. She smiled and looked at the old man who had to kneel on the ground half-kneel because she was strangling her throat, as if she was looking at an animal.
who is she?
Looking at the girl in front of him, the old man opened his eyes wide in horror. He struggled desperately, trying to break free from the other party's control. However, the slender and delicate arm was not loose at all like an iron gate. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the other party, but soon the old man discovered that he seemed to be completely attracted by the bright red pupils... His world began to change colors, and everything seemed to be rendered bright red, including his reason, everything was melted into it.
The next moment, the old man's consciousness was interrupted.
Night falls.
The whispering merchants and local residents on weekdays are no longer visible on the deserted streets. Instead, teams of fully armed soldiers, holding weapons, staring around vigilantly, patrolling everywhere. Everyone knows that their immediate boss is anxious because of the past few days. Now they have no other choice except patrolling around and ensuring that something happens.
And at this moment, suddenly, a scream broke through the tranquility of the night.
"ah----!!"
Hearing this scream, the soldiers patrolling nearby were stunned. Then they hurriedly turned around and ran towards the place where the screams occurred. Soon, they arrived near the southern area where the merchants gathered. Soon, they found a man holding a short knife in his hand and wrapped in a black cloak. At his feet, a businessman covered in blood was lying on his feet. At this moment, the man in black was waving the blade, mercilessly splitting the other screaming woman into two from the middle!
"Catch him!!"
Seeing that the murderer had finally been found, the soldiers in charge of the guards were immediately excited. They waved their weapons and rushed towards the man in black in front of them. When they saw the guards, the man in black not only did not turn around and escape, but instead, he waved his blade to welcome him and fought with the guards. He had to admit that the man in black was very strong, and the guards had no way to do anything to him. Not only could they not catch him, they were connected by the man in black and killed several colleagues. And just when these guards were timid and were about to retreat, suddenly, several strange black shadows emerged from them.
"Does go, this is not an opponent you can deal with."
Although they could not see the other party's appearance, the guards quickly saw from the marks inlaid on the black leather armor on the outside that the other party was directly under Shan Lide's special force, and the man in black in front of them was obviously not something they could deal with, so they quickly retreated and handed the battlefield to the four strange beings in front of them who were also wearing black clothes.
He noticed that his opponent had changed, and the man in black seemed cautious. He held the blade in his hand and stared at the four people in front of him vigilantly. Then the battle began.
In just a moment, the shining cold light cut through the night sky. The strange soldiers drew out their long swords in an instant, blocking the other party's way. The man in black struggled hard and barely avoided the other party's attack. Not only that, he even took advantage of the situation to counterattack, wielding the blade to stab one of them in the opposite direction. Soon, the two sides fought again.
It was obvious that these four people were much stronger than those guards in terms of skills and combat experience. Most of the time, the guards around them could only see their silence, and the man in black was not weak. Faced with the four people joining forces, he still waved his blade and attacked forward with great force. He even injured two of them. But......... He also ended here.
No matter how hard he tried, there was only one person. While he was slashing the other two people took advantage of the situation to launch an attack. Four cold lights passed by. Then, with the sound of weapons fighting, the man in black began to tremble violently, and then flew backwards and lay down to the ground. It was obvious that he had already stopped here.
"Catch him!"
Seeing this scene in front of them, the guards who had been playing soy sauce immediately rushed over and tried to catch the man in black. But what happened next made them stunned. Facing the guards rushing towards them, the man in black picked up the dagger in his hand and then inserted it into his neck with force.
And the next moment, he turned into a corpse and fell to the ground.
"this……………"
Seeing the scene in front of him, the guards widened their eyes in surprise, and at this moment, accompanied by the fire, others rushed to the scene.
"What happened? Who is he?"
Cliff rushed over, looking at the man in black lying on the ground, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, and soon, a guard answered.
"He is the prisoner who attacked the merchant before!"
"Criminal?"
Hearing this, Cliff frowned, then he stepped forward to the man in black, reached out to take down the black cloth wrapped in the man in black. Then, an old face appeared in front of him, and when he saw this face, Cliff widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Teacher............How is this possible..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. Read.)
