Suddenly, blood began to flow from their necks.
Everyone stared in astonishment at their necks: "What, what happened to this?!"
A soldier clutched his neck in terror, but blood kept flowing, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't stop the bleeding!
They panicked, and at the same time, several figures suddenly appeared behind them, leaving them stunned.
He turned around and exclaimed, "How...how is this possible!"
Guest returned to Luo Chen's side: "Master, I have completed all the tasks you instructed me to undertake!"
Luo Chen looked at the corpses on the ground and nodded in satisfaction: "Good, you five hundred people, I'll give you one hour. I don't want to see any ability to resist left in this city!"
Gou Li was filled with worry and couldn't sleep all night. He stood up and looked outside, but saw nothing. A servant placed a cup of tea in front of him.
"Master, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Gou Li took the teacup, looked at him, sighed, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with me, I've been restless all night!"
The servant said doubtfully, "Master, why don't you just do the math and you'll know?"
Gou Li smiled and said, "You understand me best."
The servant smiled and said, "It's not that I understand you, but you are troubled and confused. Sometimes, it's better for others to see things more clearly!"

Gou Li nodded: "What he said makes sense."
So Gou Li closed his eyes, and his soul resonated directly with the stars in the sky.
However, it seemed that none of them could have any effect. He opened his eyes and remembered the celestial phenomenon he had seen that afternoon. He cried out in his heart, "Oh no!"
"Quickly, have the guards increase their patrols; something big might happen tonight!"
The servant was still tidying up the teacups: "Master, what's going on?"
Gou Li said directly, "You don't understand! Just quickly relay my orders!"
After saying this, the servant quickly ran downstairs, found the head guard, and relayed Gou Li's words exactly as they were.
0 ... .......
Although the head guard agreed verbally, he thought to himself, "That crazy old man is here again. He's said so many times in the past month that something terrible is going to happen. Everyone was a little worried about Youyou at first, but nothing has happened."
He returned to the barracks, where several soldiers approached him, took out a wine jar, and placed it in front of him.
"Hey bro, have a drink!"
The soldier placed a wine glass in front of him, and he shook his head: "It's best if everyone doesn't drink. Lord Gou Li said something bad might happen tonight!"
His words caused the soldiers present to burst into laughter. The guy who had toasted him earlier said with a smile, "Brother, you know that old man always says something big is going to happen, but what happened? Nothing of the sort happened. So tonight, brother, let's just go through the motions!"
He thought to himself that it was true; it had been so long since he had touched any alcoholic beverages.
So he picked up the wine glass in front of him, closed his eyes, and drank it down.
The man clapped his hands and said, "Brother, you're solid! Another drink, please!"
Just as they were drinking and playing drinking games, Guest transformed into a black shadow, and together with the two men, knocked all the guards at the gate to the ground, and then opened the gate.
More than 500 people rushed into the city.
Looking at the moonlight, Luo Chen thought, "This time, even the gods cannot save you!"
Chapter 296 Despair
Inside the weapons shop.
The boss had just fallen asleep when he suddenly heard some noises outside the door. Could it be a thief breaking in?
That was his first thought. He stood up and walked straight to the door, only to find there was nothing there.
When he turned around, a figure appeared in front of him and held a dagger to his neck.
His hand quietly reached behind him, but unexpectedly, a hand grabbed his hand.
"Don't move!"
The man said coldly, and the other person looked at him and immediately took all the weapons from his hands.
This scene was playing out in weapon shops and mercenary camps of all sizes throughout the city. Many people were still asleep, and all that awaited them was a single sentence: "480".
"Would you like to join Luo's army?"
There has never been a shortage of people with their own beliefs, but now integrity is no longer a consideration for the world. Perhaps after everything is over, they will have a nice grave to be laid to rest.
But now, only death awaits them!
In the military camp, several officers had been drinking together for so long that the head guard was also slightly drunk. He stood up and said, "Alright, alright, brothers, that's enough for now. We still have a mission to complete!"
Several soldiers, slightly tipsy, said, "Boss, why are we even going out? Let's just stay here and get some sleep. It's not like we'll cause any trouble!"
Seeing their calm demeanor, the guard officer felt slightly relieved, but this was just the prelude to death!
Suddenly, the gate to the guardhouse was kicked open.
A drunken soldier banged on his table and stood up at the same time: "Insolence! Don't you know where this is? How dare you act so disrespectfully here!"
However, the men in black robes outside the door seemed unmoved. They glanced inside and asked, "Who are your officers?"
The head guard heard that this guy seemed to be here for revenge, but since he had the numbers, he wasn't afraid. He stared at the man in front of him and said, "That's me. What do you want?"
The man sneered: "You're the one who's right, brothers, let's get started!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the black-robed men moved with incredible speed, appearing directly in front of them and snatching all the weapons from their hands. Everyone was stunned, completely unprepared for this scene.
Just then, Luo Chen walked in. Looking at the head guard kneeling on the ground, Luo Chen went over, patted his head, and said, "Brother, you're not doing a good job as the head guard at all!"
He was terrified. Who was this person who had suddenly appeared before him like a god?
He took two steps back and asked Luo Chen directly, "Who, who exactly are you?"
Luo Chen laughed loudly: "Who am I? Don't you guys have any fresher lines? How about this, you tell me where Gou Li is, and I'll spare your life?"
At this moment, the head guard realized that this guy had come to take his life. He took two steps back and stared straight at Luo Chen: "Don't even think about it!"
Luo Chen glanced at the people around him, and a fist landed on him. He felt a sharp pain all over his body, and he clutched his chest and knelt on the ground.
Even if you beat me to death, I won't tell!
His eyes were filled with determination. Although he would occasionally slack off, he was still a competent head guard. Luo Chen was never afraid of being challenged. As soon as he turned around, Guest immediately understood what Luo Chen meant and raised his hand.
Several men in black robes suddenly appeared behind them, carrying two children in their arms.
Luo Chen wiped the dagger in his hand: "Comrade guard, if you don't reveal their whereabouts, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Hearing Luo Chen's threat, the head guard closed his eyes, his gaze filled with despair.
"Okay, I'll talk about it, but I need to look at my own child!"
Luo Chen thought to himself that even if he showed the child to this man, nothing would change; he was confident of that. So he nodded and agreed. The men in black robes released their grip, and the child quickly ran to his father, crying.
Luo Chen looked at them, and for some reason, a feeling of irritation arose in his heart: "Now, can we talk?"
The head guard comforted his child for a few words, then raised his head and looked at Luo Chen: "That's enough. You must be the leader of the Luo family army, but I can tell you very seriously that you are wrong. I will not betray Lord Gou Li!"
A cold glint flashed in Luo Chen's eyes: "Are you courting death?"
He smiled slightly, and at the same time quickly grabbed the two children by the neck. The two children lost all signs of life in an instant. Luo Chen stood up and looked at the two corpses on the ground: "You're ruthless!"
After saying that, he quickly flung the dagger in his hand, and the dagger went straight into his throat. Luo Chen looked at the soldiers who were squatting on the ground crying and said indifferently, "Do you want to be as courageous as him? I don't have a hard time knowing where your families are. And remember, since I'm here, Chenxing will be in my hands today!"
The soldiers exchanged glances. What Luo Chen said was absolutely right. If they continued to be stubborn, they would be the ones who harmed their own interests. However, there were still one or two people who would stand up and resist Luo Chen.
However, their lives were pierced through in that instant. Luo Chen turned around and said to the crowd in front of him, "This is the consequence of resistance!"
The remaining soldiers dared not object, for they had come to this military camp solely for the money.
So they told Luo Chen all the answers he wanted. Luo Chen listened to them and nodded in satisfaction. Then he walked out to the other side. However, as Luo Chen walked out, all the guards were killed.
Gou Li still felt uneasy, so he went to the balcony. What was wrong with the city tonight? There wasn't even a single flame to be seen. Just as he was about to call his servant, suddenly, the whole city became bright.
However, over five hundred soldiers appeared before him.
Chapter 297 Too Lazy to Waste Words
Gou Li was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the group of soldiers that he couldn't even speak.
He turned his head and said to the servant beside him, "Quickly, release the signal fire, and where is the guard?"
Luo Chen came to the front of the group of soldiers and looked at Gou Li, who was calling for the guards on the balcony.
"Lord Gou Li, there's no need to call anymore. I'm here, which proves that your men won't be showing up!"
Gou Li naturally understood what Luo Chen meant.
Luo Chen looked at him; the atmosphere was incredibly quiet at that moment.
However, the swords in the soldiers' hands gleamed coldly, and Gou Li laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that, Luo Chen, I would lose this time. Kill me or widow me, it's up to you!"
Luo Chen looked at him and said, "Why do you want to die? If you kneel down, I guarantee you will gain a higher status within our forces."
Gou Li's lips curled into a smile, but it was a smile of disdain!
"Luochen10, what do you take me for? I'd rather die standing than live on my knees!"
Luo Chen couldn't help but applaud his heroic act: "That's courageous, but people with courage usually die young!"
Luo Chen lost interest in talking to him. If he wanted someone to serve him, there were plenty of ways. He wouldn't be polite to these guys who would rather die than submit. But just then, Gou Li called out to Luo Chen, "Wait!"
Luo Chen looked in his direction: "What? Are you scared?"
Gou Li snorted and stared straight at Luo Chen: "What do you mean by that? A real man doesn't even flinch when he's about to die, but dying like this is too humiliating. I challenge you to a duel!"
Luo Chen didn't even glance at him again: "Many people come to challenge me to duels every day. If I have to accept every single one, won't I be very busy?"
Gou Li never expected that Luo Chen would take the promises between fighters so lightly.
He glared angrily at Luo Chen: "You, what kind of devil are you? Luo Chen, let me tell you, your actions will only lead to the gods in heaven destroying you, crushing you, and finally turning you into dust."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen immediately unleashed a burst of flame, causing everyone to stare wide-eyed at him, asking, "What, what is this?"
Before they could even react, flames had already engulfed Gou Li's body. Luo Chen walked up to them and said, "This is what happens when you oppose me. And no matter who it is, you are never allowed to mention the word 'God' in front of me again!"
The five hundred men immediately knelt down. Just like that, the entire city of Morning Star, guarded by tens of thousands of troops, was taken over by Luo Chen. Luo Chen turned around, and everyone went up to him.
“Master, we have now captured the city, but the Stormcloaks will soon find out. With only five hundred men, we are no match for them to defend it!”
Luo Chen knew that they were outnumbered and that no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't kill tens of thousands of people in a short period of time. So, when he came, he had already arranged for Toldif to mobilize Agur.
The messengers who have been hidden within the empire should also be coming into play by now.
Elisif sat on her throne, looking at the letter the messenger had handed her, and asked with her head bowed, "Did you really get this from the Stormcloaks?"
The messenger thought to himself, "Of course not, would I tell you?"
However, he still wore a humble smile and said directly to Elisifer, "Yes, my Queen!"
Alicia's expression was completely hidden in the letter, making it impossible to see any change in her demeanor. She said calmly, "Go down now, and go to Governor Maggie later to collect your reward!"
Upon hearing this, the messenger nodded happily. Western customs weren't particularly strict, and the man scurried off. After he left, Elisif said to Tullius beside him, "You can lead the troops later!"
Tullius looked at Elisif in surprise. Why would he be ordered to send troops based on just a simple letter? He voiced his doubts, but Elisif turned around and stared at him fiercely: "Sometimes, you have no right to ask why. General Tullius, I have always believed that a general's role is to obey the lord's orders and fulfill one's duties!"
Her words startled Tullius, who immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty's orders will be carried out to the best of our ability. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
After he finished speaking, Elisif nodded in satisfaction and looked up at the sky: "Luochen, Luochen, even if you got the better deal this time, you're mistaken if you think there will be a next time!"
Just then, the messenger outside arrived at Governor Maggie's room. He knocked on the door, and it opened. On a table not far away, there were some gold coins, enough to drive anyone crazy.
He sat down excitedly: "It was Her Majesty the Queen who sent me to collect my reward!"
Maggie smiled, and from any angle, she looked like a fairy, even now.
But as a streak of blood drifted toward the snow-white window, I wonder if you can still imagine it this way!
At this very moment, 483, inside the Storm Cloak in the distance.
"What? Say that again!"
Originally, Stormcloak's territory was limited, consisting of only three cities. With the fall of Morningstar, all that's left is Valley Rift City. Damn Fallen Dust, damn it!
Why are you pushing me so hard when I've already backed down so many times?
