Chapter 362: Gathering Troops

The Wentian Auction Conference is coming to an end.

Wentiancheng benefited up to 30,000 high-level soul gems through auctions, and the handling fee of auction items in each city benefited up to 20,000 high-level soul gems, minus the cost of the auction, and Wentiancheng benefited more than 20,000 high-level soul gems in this conference. It would take about fifteen thousand to repair the broken city walls, replenish the arrow towers and defensive equipment, and replenish the war consumption, which is more than enough income, and there can be some surplus.

During the auction, the orcs and sea people participated in several bids and bought several very good things, and Karui and Gobido were very satisfied with the auction.

A warrior walked up to Xiao Yu's side, approached him and said to him, "City Lord, Captain Wang Chao took more than a hundred elite tiger warriors to Burning Sky City. ”

Xiao Yu's face was expressionless, nodded lightly, and waved his hand to signal him to step back.

Hilaria asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yu shrugged, "There is a group of little rats harassing them, and they have almost been driven away at this time, so they are out of the way." ”

Hilaria turned her head boredly and continued to talk to Jiang Xiaowen.

The auction was coming to an end, and after the last auction item was sold, Xiao Yu stood up and slowly floated into the air and flew towards the stage, the conference was over, and he was ready to go on stage to say a few words. The famous Wentian City Lord appeared on the stage, Xiao Yu's reputation had already spread, and most people didn't know what his specific strength was, but through word of mouth, coupled with what he saw and heard after coming to Wentian City, Xiao Yu was almost demonized in people's hearts, and this mysterious city lord made everyone feel a little awe.

The nearly 1,000 people present are the elite of the human race, and they have extremely high potential. They are super-strong men who are admired in every city. But here, no one can see through Xiao Yu's strength. After all, Xiao Yu is close to the early stage of the fourth order, and the strength here is generally the middle stage of the third order, and there are at most more than ten people with the strength of the late stage of the third order, and the difference in strength is not more than ten times?

Xiao Bai was a little surprised, walked over and said to Xiao Yu, "Master, is there something wrong?" ”

Xiao Yu said: "I have something to say to the city lords, I have worked hard for you tonight, go down and rest." ”

Xiaobai wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Okay, master." After speaking, she slowly stepped down from the stage under the gaze of everyone.

"This Wentian auction has been successfully concluded, and I hope you can have a harvest." Xiao Yu floated in the air like a ghost, and said in his usual flat tone: "The next auction will be held as scheduled. But with all due respect, it's just that at that time, a considerable part of you here is probably no longer alive. ”

Xiao Yu's words were like a boulder thrown into the lake, and immediately stirred up a thousand waves.

Cao Fengyun frowned, and asked loudly: "Cao didn't understand, can City Lord Xiao make his words clearer?" ”

Xiao Yu said calmly: "It's a demonic disaster, and in the next month, the first demonic disaster will break out on the Chaos Continent." The order of order varies from place to place, and the difference will not exceed 15 days. The intelligent creatures and monsters of the Abyss World and the Dark Continent will fully invade the Chaos Continent, and the intelligent races of the Chaos Continent will also resist in an all-round way, and the Continent will definitely be chaotic and fall into war. ”

"How do you know?"

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Yu continued: "What I want to say is that we are running out of time to prepare. In this world, human beings are a weak race, with low strength and low reproductive ability, and they are scattered in all corners of the continent even if they are not numerous. We are in danger of being exterminated at any time. One must build on a firm foundation? I don't care how you fight in the open and in the dark, but I hope that after the outbreak of the demonic disaster, you can unite and help each other to fight the disaster together. ”

Xiao Yu didn't want to be a saint, but in the current Chaos Continent, there were only six or seven million human beings at most, and it was a well-deserved rare race. What's even more troubling is that the number of human beings increasing is far less than the number of decreases.

In the previous life, when Xiao Yu was dying, there were only more than 100 cities left on the mainland, only Han Kexin and Zhao Changping's first-class superfigures were still struggling to persevere, and the total population was only about one million, which had reached the point of extinction, and even the long-lived elven race was far more numerous than humans.

Even if Xiao Yu did not die, according to the situation at the time, he barely survived the demon disaster that lasted for several years, but the ten demon gods had just been born, and another more terrible catastrophe was coming, and mankind could not escape the fate of extinction, and Xiao Yu would eventually be unable to escape death.

Asking Heaven City has ten times more power than any city, and even Wind Cloud City is far from being the current opponent of Asking Heaven City.

Xiao Yu has never easily launched a plundering war, on the one hand, because of the long distance, in the form before Wentiancheng, he did not dare to easily lead the army on an expedition, and at the same time, the population of Wentiancheng is not large, and the strength should be used to fight against the demonic calamity, not the death and injury between the same clan. On the other hand, the war will inevitably bring casualties to both sides, and many potential people will die because of it.

Ask Tiancheng is full of talents, but every time you capture a city, in order to stabilize, the city lord, captain and other characters must be killed, just like Thundering City. The only result caused by this is the withering of talents, Xiao Yu must not send people from Wentian City to guard and manage, Wentian City is so big, there are only so many people, if each city is divided into a little, no matter how many talents are not enough, it will disperse the potential of the main city, and eventually lead to a decline in strength.

It is precisely because of various considerations that the war of plunder has not been launched lightly.

Xiao Yu explained the relationship between the dark crack and the demon disaster to everyone in detail, and everyone couldn't help frowning, asking the Heavenly City Lord if there was no need to lie to people, if what he said was true, then all nearby cities with dark cracks would probably suffer.

In the following period, the city lords of various cities desperately strengthened the city's defense construction, and the magic technology weapons and defensive equipment such as arrow towers, trebuchets, and bed crossbows in Heavenly City were simply in short supply. Even some city lords were very skeptical, was this Xiao Yu purely deliberately releasing the news, in order to make Wentian City make a lot of money?

No matter what, what Xiao Yu said was very influential. Soon after, Fengyun City, which had contact with high-level goblins, also released similar information, and the two famous city lords said this at the same time, so that everyone did not dare to be careless, and couldn't help but prepare, it was precisely because of Xiao Yu that the losses caused by the demon disaster were greatly reduced.

The Wentian auction meeting officially ended, and the city lords gradually left.

Xiao Yu came to the hall with a group of high-ranking members of Wentian City.

"You have done a good job today, and with your kind advice, I believe that many human beings will be spared." Hilaria seemed to be very satisfied with Xiao Yu's approach, and at the same time couldn't help asking: "You know a lot about the dark invasion, the dark rift is unstable, but it's not enough to accurately judge the time of the invasion, right?" The elves only understand it through prophecy, so can you also do it? ”

Xiao Yu shook his head, "It's a secret. ”

"Cut, I don't know it yet." Hilaria pursed her lips, and suddenly said: "There is one thing I have to tell you, I have been in the human city for several days, and I must go back, and I will come to play in a few days,!" ”

Xiao Yu was a little surprised, "Are you going back?" ”

"yes, what? You still can't bear me? ”

"Come on, you'd better go back early, so as not to get me into trouble."

"you! I won't tell you! ”

Hilaria said goodbye to Jiang Xiaowen, the two stayed aside and whispered for a while, and then hugged each other, Hilaria waved her hand and said: "Sister Xiaowen, my sister is leaving, I will come to see you in a few days, Sister Kexin is still in retreat, you can say goodbye to her for me." ”

Jiang Xiaowen nodded.

"I gave Kexin's sister the buds and leaves of the ancient tree of wisdom, I can't treat you badly, by the way, I will give you some practical gifts." Hilaria rolled her eyes, and took out three thumb-sized beads from the ring, emitting purple light, crystal clear and very beautiful, "These essence stones are useless to me, because I think they are beautiful, so I have always stayed by my side and gave them to you." I think you are very close to the Flower Fairy Clan, and I will introduce Aunt Hua to you when I have the opportunity, she is a super strong person, and her strength in the entire Tree Elf Clan can rank in the top five. If Aunt Hua accepts you as an apprentice, then your face will be big. ”

Jiang Xiaowen nodded lightly, "Thank you." ”

Xiao Yu's eyes widened on the side, "Purple Essence Stone? He cheekily said to Hillarya: "You have prepared gifts for Kexin and Xiaowen, why don't you have my share?" ”

"What do you want?"

"You can give me one hundred and eighty purple essence stones."

"Phew! You greedy villain, do you think the Purple Essence Stone is a jelly bean?! Hilalia almost jumped up, "People have already given you the Tree of Tranquility, you are not enough?" Insatiable, ignore you! ”

Xiao Yu looked at the elf king with an indignant face, and said with a wry smile: "I'm joking with you, you have helped me so much, I don't know how to thank you." ”

Hilaria is like a child, as soon as Xiao Yu said this, her face immediately improved a lot, "This is not in a hurry, anyway, as long as you don't die, you will become the king sooner or later, and I will slowly ask you for it back with interest in the future!" ”

"Then you have to keep me from dying, or you'll lose money!"

Hilaria waited for him to take a look, and finally said goodbye to Jiang Xiaowen, concentrated on using space magic and left Wentian City directly. Spatial magic is very mentally demanding, especially long-range spatial teleportation, even Hilaria cannot teleport repeatedly in a short period of time.

Jiang Xiaowen handed over the three shiny purple essence stones, "I'll leave these essence stones for you to use." ”

"No need, the essence of the three purple essence stones is just the amount of a fourth-order early-stage elite monster, which will not substantially help me improve my strength, but for you in the middle of the third-order strength, it can allow you to quickly reach the peak of the third-order and enter the bottleneck stage." Xiao Yu glanced at the purple essence stones, "Purple essence stones are very precious, usually produced in the abyss where magic mines are extremely rich, and the number of purple essence stones naturally formed on the Chaos Continent is scarce, and they can only be obtained in some special secret realms and trials. ”

Jiang Xiaowen was very happy, "Sister Hillaria is too generous, I must thank him well in the future." ”

After Hilaria left, soon after Du Tao and King Yan returned to Wentian City.

What happened is clear, and now that Hilaria is gone, the only thing that could be a hindrance is gone.

The first thing Xiao Yu did was to gather troops!
