The temperature is already about the same.

Looking at the gradually burning bright red around him, and the smell of burning in the air, Rhodes hid his figure in the shadows, and a little smile appeared leisurely. The current Highland City is like a pot of boiling water that gradually boils under the flames, and as the temperature gets higher and higher, the water will boil faster and faster. Some things that were originally hidden underneath will be turned over, and there is no problem in leaving this matter to someone else to do, such as Seven Love, which will definitely be able to do well. However, Rhodes still likes to do this kind of thing by himself, no matter what, he is a player, and the nature of the player is to love adventure, so he can't let Rhodes stay in Grantia all day.

And now, my arrangement is almost starting to have the effect it should have.

Rhodes didn't believe that after his dragon soul sheltered in Highland City, the Council of Light would not move at all, it would only be verbal support, the strategic and political significance of Highland City was very clear and important, it was impossible for the Council of Light not to think about solving this trouble early, especially after they sent someone to inquire, they couldn't think that these people were capable enough to disobey them now. So wouldn't the other side be prepared for this?

Rod doesn't think so, and besides that, he needs to clean the city well.

That's right, it's cleaning.

It's like Lydia did to the reformers, indulge, indulge until they start to go crazy to the point of self-destruction, and then make those stupid idiots realize what they've done, and then obediently obey. That's why almost no one on the southern harbor now dares to disobey Lydia's orders, and only those who have experienced the horror and cruelty of war will abandon those flowery rhetoric and turn back to the most desirable and instinctive desires of people, and then be honest and obedient. In the most literary and artistic words. Only those who have experienced war know the value of peace.

The current Highland City also needs to be cleaned, he doesn't know what kind of attitude these people in front of him have towards his rule, but Rhodes himself doesn't care, and now, it's already time. The news from Seven Love is normal, and I think Little Bubblegum and Canary can't wait.

For Rhodes. Letting the Highland City fall into complete chaos is just a means, the previous Highland City was too rigid, like a pool of stagnant water, the backwater means that there is no change, but no change does not mean that it cannot change. Let the Highland City fall into chaos, riots, and when they have had enough, they will start to face a mess that they can't clean up, and then it will be much easier for Rhodes to take control of the city. Not only that, but the chaotic Highland City can also make those things hidden under the water roll up, maybe only for a moment, but for Rod, as long as those hidden rats dare to show their heads, then it is a perfect opportunity for him. And that's not all.........

"Boom !!"

Another explosion sounded, and the merchants in the meeting hall finally began to panic, and they looked around in surprise. I don't know what's going on in the road. And at this time, Shan Lide, who had not appeared all along, finally appeared on the balcony of the manor.

"Please calm down!"

His voice was not loud. But it overpowered the noise and noise in the banquet hall, and soon everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction where Shan Lide was. As everyone watched, the de facto controller of Highland City smiled confidently and raised his hands. A slight gesture.

"Please calm down! It's just a small accident, and now there's a little problem outside, and for everyone's safety, I suggest everyone go back inside first and wait for us to take care of it all! I can assure you. With a little time, all this troublesome thing will be over, and now, please go back to the house! ”

Although there were some doubts in their hearts, most of these merchants did not show it, but obediently followed the guards back to the house, not because they had no judgment, but it was obvious that the situation outside was very wrong now, and seeing those heavily armed soldiers blocking the entire manor——— as long as they were not stupid to a certain extent, they could naturally understand that their current situation was not good.

"Humph!!"

Seeing that the originally lively manor became deserted after a while, Shan Lide could no longer hold back the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart, and snorted coldly with a pale face, and then he turned his gaze to the bright red fire not far from the manor, and the flame reflected in his eyes looked like the anger burning in Shan Lide's heart at this time.

"Is it all set up?"

Thinking of this, Shan Lide turned his head and asked. Hearing Shan Lide's inquiry, I don't know when Lu Dao appeared behind Shan Lide, and the black-robed visitor who was wrapped in a cloak nodded slightly.

"Hey——— everything is ready, Young Master Shanlide——— hiss, those humans won't be rampant for too long, please rest assured, they will fail in the end, everything is as you planned."

Very good, hearing this, Shan Lide nodded, and then he turned around and walked into the room.

"Remember, don't leave a single mouth alive, since they want death so much, let them embrace death forever! We're never short of slaves anyway! As for these people, I want them not to see the sun tomorrow! ”

"Of course, hiss——— my master."

Hearing Shan Lide's words, the black-robed man bent down slightly and saluted him respectfully, but his voice was filled with unprecedented enthusiasm and joy. When he turned around, the flames had begun to approach closely, and he could even faintly see the figures holding torches alof, raising the torches in their hands, roaring and roaring forward, towards the heavily armed soldiers in front of them, towards the enemy they hated the most.

But...............

"Slave ......... After all, it's just a slave........."

The black-robed man whispered, stretched out his right hand, and the wide sleeves fluttered lightly in the air, and soon, with his movements, the torches that were originally burning around the manor were suddenly extinguished. Then a dark shadow enveloped the entire manor, and then, I saw that the dark shadow on the ground began to sway wantonly, whether it was the shadow of a tree, the shadow of a person, or the shadow of a house, it seemed to be blown by an invisible wind at this moment. It trembled, then entangled, and fused together to form a new, terrifying appearance.

Seeing this scene, the black-robed man smiled contemptuously, and then he raised his right hand.

A low, eerie chant sounded, accompanied by this eerie chant. The eyes of the stone statues that looked like they were merely decorative on the roofs and walls of the manor suddenly shone bright red, and then they rose to their feet and leaped off the walls like great beasts, and with a ferocious roar, they swooped into the night............

Damn it! I'm still a step slower!!

Hiding in the depths of the alley, looking at the bright red flames in the distance, listening to the faint roar of rage. Cliff gritted his teeth, his face pale. He didn't expect these people to move so quickly. This completely wasted his previous plans. Just yesterday. He managed to secretly meet with representatives from the Void Realm under the arrangement of his cronies, convincing them to help him take control of the city, and in order to show his loyalty, Cliff was even willing to accept the bondage of the soul contract. But what he didn't expect was that these guys were moving so fast, and maybe he still underestimated how crazy they were——— he might be. They have completely lost their minds, and in such a situation, damn it...............

Thinking of this, Cliff bit his lip and clenched his fists. He didn't know what would happen next, but he knew very well that if he continued like this, then he was afraid that everything would be beyond his plan. Originally, he thought that these people would have some plans no matter what, so that it would take some time for them to start a rebellion and confront the Alanic family, but he took advantage of this chaos to open the city gates and bring the troops of the Void Lord to suppress the rebellion, and at the same time uproot the strength of the Alanic Consortium from the Highland City. He could then rely on his henchmen to regain his status in Highland City, and then declare himself to submit to the Void Lords on behalf of Highland City before the Light Nation could send troops.

Cliff was not without political acumen, he knew that the current military power of the Nation of Light had been greatly reduced in the previous battle with the Night Nation, and if he could secure the ownership of Highland City before the Nation of Light attacked, then the Nation of Light would not dare to risk a war with the Void Lord. In fact, this can be regarded as another reason why Cliff is unwilling to choose the Realm of Light, in addition to the fact that Highland City itself is under the protection of the Void Dragon Soul, another reason that prompted him to fully surrender to the Void Realm is the current situation in the Realm of Light itself. If the country of light is strong and strong, and the country is rich and the people are strong, then maybe Cliff is still hesitant. But right now, the Land of Light, which has been greatly damaged after the war with the Night Nation, has a lot of messes in itself, and if Highland City doesn't abandon the Land of Light, maybe it will be even more squeezed by them, and coupled with the danger brought by the protection of the Void Dragon Soul above his head——— Cliff is not too difficult to make a decision.

But now...............

Looking at the crowd below, even Cliff couldn't help but start trembling, he wondered if the entire Highland City was gathered here? Damn, if the Elonics realized that they couldn't handle all of this on their own, then Cliff would definitely turn to the Land of Light for reinforcements, and if they couldn't get the Void Lord's aid before the reinforcements from the Land of Light arrived, then it would be all over!

But what made Cliff uneasy was that the Void Realm was a nascent territory after all, and what made him even more troubled was that it was much farther to get here from the Void Realm than from the Land of Light, would they really be able to get here?

"Wait a little longer."

Standing by the window, looking at the deep night and firelight outside, the corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly, and a somewhat weird smile appeared. Now is not the time, the Elonic family's hole cards have not yet been out, and they don't need to worry about dealing with these guys at all. That's right, you don't need to worry about changing Rhodes, even if he doesn't have the bonus of dragon soul power, even if he only has the legendary power of early sixty now, there is no pressure to face these people. Don't look at these mobs menacing, but in this world, individual force can sometimes really decide everything. Don't talk about Rod, it's just that Marlene is here before she awakens, and it doesn't take much effort to deal with these mobs. Because no matter how many they are, they are just ordinary mobs, they don't have soul power to protect their bodies, and they can't release their sword qi. There are no precious magical equipment to wear, and no powerful magic weapons. Such a populace is simply delivering food in front of a mage who has mastered powerful spells. If the group of NPCs in the game will gather and rush forward stupidly, waiting until the blood bar is over before choosing to escape, then Rhodes can be sure that as long as Marlene looks at the three fire storms among the mobs outside, they will immediately disperse. When the time comes, Angelinte's hints will not be of any use.

So...............

Finding balance is an art.

Rhodes stretched out his hand, and soon, with his movements, two cards flashed out of Rhodes' hands.

"I'll leave it to you, little princess."

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-..............."

With a crisp laugh like a silver bell, the window behind Rhodes suddenly opened, and then the curtains quietly dispersed to both sides, and soon, two beautiful laughter left his side. Disappeared into the darkness of the night outside.

"Stand up, brothers!!"

Looking at the manor on the hill in front of him, and the soldiers who were fully armed and blocking in front of him. The man standing in front of him roared loudly, his eyes were completely red at the moment, he held a torch in his left hand, and a blood-stained sword in his right hand behind him. It was a people who were also full of anger and murderous intent, most of them young and middle-aged. Most of them were miners, and even some soldiers who rebelled against the guards were among them. They looked up at the manor in front of them, and once upon a time, they were terrified of this place, as if it were the lair of the devil lord. They didn't even dare to look at it halfway. But now, they are no longer afraid of those who enslave them, and they will use their blood, their weapons, their lives into the cry of their souls. Let those bastards know their anger and strength!!

"I want you to stop and get out of here!!"

Looking at the dark crowd in front of him, even the captain of the garrison standing at the top of the watchtower couldn't help but tremble a little, he held the crossbow in his hand tightly, trying to make himself look calm, but he couldn't calm down at all, looking around, he could see that the streets in front of him were filled with crowds and firelight, they were like flowing magma, slowly but unswervingly moving forward. He could already see that even the soldiers under his command were starting to get a little nervous at the moment. Damn it! They're not the hillbillies, they're the elite of the Holy Serpent Society! What is there to be nervous about in the face of this group of slaves who can't even dress neatly!!

"Give me forward, block the gates, and get ready for battle!"

Viciously kicked his subordinates, the captain of the garrison shouted angrily, and hearing his angry shouts, the subordinates next to him hurriedly crawled away. Soon, the defense line was arranged, and you must know that the soldiers stationed here are not those ordinary garrison soldiers, but Shan Lide's direct subordinates, the elite of the Holy Snake Society!

"Hiss————"

And just as the captain of the garrison shouted angrily, suddenly, a dark and cold voice sounded from behind him. This made the captain of the garrison shudder, and he hurriedly turned his head, and what he saw was a man whose body was completely wrapped in black robes. And seeing this black-robed man, the captain of the garrison, who was still fierce just now, suddenly turned into a docile sheep at this moment, and he respectfully lowered his body and got out of the way.

"Your Excellency."

"Are these pariahs still refusing to leave?"

The black-robed man glanced at the crowd below who were shouting slogans and getting closer and closer, and there was a cold gaze in his eyes wrapped in black robes.

"Yes, my lord, I have warned them many times, but they are not willing to leave. These damn mobs, I don't know where they got so much courage today..............."

"Hmph."

With just a cold snort, the captain of the garrison immediately closed his mouth in fear, he cautiously looked at the black-robed man in front of him, and then asked uneasily.

"Your Excellency, are you going to ...............?"

However, the black-robed man did not answer the captain's inquiry, instead, he just stretched out his right hand and waved it forward.

"Boom!!"

Several huge, pitch-black stone monsters suddenly fell from the sky and fell heavily in front of everyone. And seeing these strange monsters that suddenly appeared, the people who were originally heading towards the manor couldn't help but stop at this moment, no matter how angry they were in their hearts, they still felt surprised and frightened in the face of these monsters that suddenly appeared.

"Stupid, lowly, cheap."

The black-robed man looked coldly at the people in front of him, as if he was looking at a group of animals with no intelligence at all.

"Although I don't know where you low-level pariahs got the courage, but that's the end of it, you have crossed the original boundary, so let's die to apologize."

The black-robed man's voice was so cold and gloomy that it even brought an unprecedented cold wind. Then, he waved his hand casually. Snorted softly.

"Kill them all."

Then, the black-robed man coldly gave an order. And with his command, the gargoyle trolls opened their mouths and roared and pounced on the crowd in front of them.

The killing began. (To be continued......)
