Chapter 160 Thief, thief
Wuming and the young slaves of the Fallen Eagle Legion rode the manhole cover in batches and finally left the underground, which was not dark but not dark, and returned to the surface.
"See the sun again!" Wuming stretched his body and cheered in the foggy forest.
The little slaves had been underground for too long and were even a little uncomfortable with the environment on the ground. They covered their eyes and felt the surrounding environment.
But it was so, and they were very excited.
"Master... thank you." The little slaves said incoherently, "What do you need us to do?"
"Don't call me master, call me boss." Wuming said energetically, "What are your specialties?"
"Our shield is special," the little slaves said, "and we also know some simple tactics."
"Not bad." Wuming did not dislike them, but was quite satisfied, "I have already thought about your work. Come on, follow me back to Stonewell."
The slaves of the Fallen Eagle Corps felt a little emotional when they heard Stonewell.
When they went down to investigate the Eternal City, the Storm King had just fallen. Now, the Golden Dynasty has begun to decline.
"What kind of job do you do?" the employees of the Fallen Eagle Legion were curious.
"Go work underground!" Wuming announced.
The employees collapsed on the floor: "Going underground again?"
"I think you guys haven't adapted to life on the ground yet." Wuming said thoughtfully, "Don't worry, you won't be here for too long."
Fallen Eagle Legion staff say:
"The person who asked us to investigate the Eternal City said so before..."
"If you don't worry, I can put a portal for you." Wuming said, "Even if you are trapped underground, you can still come back."
The nameless promise made the little slaves feel relieved:
"I didn't expect you to have a portal..."
Wuming smiled slyly and turned over the large treasure box on his shoulder. A portal was attached to the bottom of the treasure box, emitting a hidden light.
The little slaves were stunned: "Where does this... come from? Why haven't I seen it before?"
"This is the portal next to the Chair Temple, the main road leading to the activities of the people of the ancestral spirits." Wuming explained, "In other words, it is the portal leading to the Eternal City."
In the Eternal City, Amastasia, the night man, looked at the empty space where a portal was originally placed next to the chair temple, and looked up at the blue-black rock sky and roared:
"Nameless! I——"
But Wuming is not a nameless name. Even if Amastasia wanted to curse people, she was a little unable to do so, and she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Amastasia lost her temper, but she was unwilling to accept the thought that the portal leading directly to here had been stolen.
"I curse you to be stolen too!" Amastasia shouted and punched the rock formations in the sky.
On the rock formations, the little slaves were dumbfounded when they heard Wuming's words:
"To the Eternal City?"
"What? If you don't accept my arrangement, then you don't have to follow me. Everything will just go back to the starting point, and you won't lose." Wuming said.
Although Wuming said this, he was confident that no one from the Fallen Eagle Legion would be willing to return to the Eternal City.
The teachings of the sun guided him - if they had never seen the light, they might not have the extravagant hope, but if they had the opportunity to return to the surface, they would not give up this opportunity.
As expected, none of the little slaves wanted to go back. They were almost crying:
"Didn't you promise not to return to the Eternal City?"
"I promised." Wuming said frankly, "But what does this have to do with me stealing a portal that can lead directly to the Eternal City?"
The little slaves were speechless, not knowing what to say.
Wuming said earnestly:
"And if you think about it, I promised not to reveal the secret of the Eternal City, but I'm not the only one who knows this secret - you guys are too.
"Then taking you back, not only did you not violate my oath, but it also helped Ye Ren reduce the risk of leaking the news - I still did a good thing."
Wuming concluded: "Since I helped Yeren, you have not lost anything, and I have kept my promise. It's a win-win-win situation."
The employees of the Fallen Eagle Legion gave up. They obviously couldn't defeat this boss.
Seeing that the Fallen Eagle Legion gave up their struggle, Wuming let them stay where they were and returned to Hyde Fortress to prepare carriages for the young slaves.
His golden carriage cannot carry so many people.
"Where have you been?" Hyde looked very anxious when he saw Wuming finally appear.
"I went down into the Shivla River from the entrance shaft." Wuming also complained to Hyde, "No one came to find me, so I was trapped for a long time."
"How can I take care of you now?" Hyde said anxiously, "The coalition of lords has not been completely wiped out."
"It is impossible to annihilate all the enemies." Wuming said, "There are so many people, you have to run a lot to kill a pig. What I said at the beginning was to make them retreat, not to annihilate them all."
Hyde covered his face: "They have retreated - now they are going directly to Stonewell City. At least half of them ran away, and now half of the lord coalition is heading straight to Stonewell, threatening to fight King Neferi."
"Neferi is a woman, so there's no need to kill her, right?" Wuming said.
"Is this the point?" Hyde raised his voice, "The point is that even half of the coalition forces are larger than Stonewell's garrison. Those lords seem to have come out in force this time, calling out all the troops in their territory.
It’s a desperate move, King Neferi is in danger!”
"Is Neferi afraid of siege warfare?" Wuming wondered, "With her strength, it wouldn't be a problem to directly punch through the opponent's army and tear a way out, right?"
"I'm afraid it won't work this time." Hyde said, "It is said that the lords' coalition forces recruited a large number of perfumers to join the war. An army with perfumers is very troublesome. Back then, the royal city sent perfumers to join the Shattered War, and the casualties caused were horrific.
.What they faced back then was not the coalition of lords, but the coalition of kings."
"Is there any difference?" Wuming asked.
"Now these lords are just small country lords who are suppressed by Greg and dare not breathe, and in the King's Alliance Army, Greg is not even ranked high." Hyde told Wuming the difference.
Hyde made a quick decision:
"We need to return to Stonewell immediately, and rush back before the coalition forces occupy favorable terrain and block the surrounding arteries. Your chariot is very fast, and even if you circumvent the marching team, you should still be able to do it in time."
"I'm afraid you will be disappointed." Wuming said, "I have recruited a group of employees to work in Stonewell. They don't have golden chariots, so they won't be able to go back quickly."
"How long have you been working?" Hyde was shocked and angry.
"I'm just a businessman. If you want to fight, just fight." Wuming said, "It has nothing to do with me."
"Aren't you a subject of King Neferi?" Hyde said, "Your business is also done in Nimgefu."
"The lords won't let me do business, right?" Wuming said.
Hyde looked at Wuming in shock, feeling horrified by his disloyalty.
But after watching it for a few seconds, Hyde suddenly remembered what Wuming had done and vaguely understood the logic of Wuming's actions.
Hyde said: "Then I will prepare a carriage for you, free of charge."
"I'm just waiting for your words. Wouldn't it be over if you said this earlier?" Wuming said, "Then let's set off."
While Hyde was preparing supplies, he told Wuming about the situation:
"We have received the news for a while. Although we have to take a detour, we cannot go too far, otherwise we will not be able to catch up. The most troublesome thing is to break through the blockade."
"Is there still a blockade?" Wuming asked.
"The lords are going to attack Stonewell, and the fog forest is behind them. In order to prevent their rear from being attacked, they will definitely leave some troops to monitor us." Hyde said, "Although these are just surveillance, we are not leading the army back this time.
If we don't, those people monitoring us may seriously delay us."
"Neferi really can't deal with them?" Wuming said.
"A lot of people will die, which she doesn't want to see. But I believe in the power of King Neferi." Hyde said, "I'm worried about the fire in the city - so I have to rush back."
Wuming nodded: "Okay, I'll help you get back."
The two left Hyde Fortress with their carriage and chariot, picked up the Rebel Eagle Legion, and headed straight to the east.
"What are we doing?" Hyde looked at the direction of the carriage, "This is the wrong direction!"
"No problem, let's go from Galid." Wuming said, "There is a teleportation gate there that can be transferred directly to the Wailing Sand Dunes."
Along the way, the two met the Red Lions who were building a wall of smoke and fire. The Red Lions were familiar with Wuming, and after saying hello, they let him enter Galid.
Wuming went straight to the Ionian swamp, followed the Silk Road portal back to Airei Church, and then returned to Stonewell through the portal of Airei Church.
"Look, this is the importance of building roads." Wuming said proudly, "If you want to be rich, build roads first."
Haide had no time to argue with Wu Ming. He got off the car and rushed to the city to report the news and understand the current situation in the city.
=============
Wuming saw that Hyde was busy, so he arranged the young slaves of the Fallen Eagle Legion to work, and then walked around the city.
Wuming felt that the energy in the city had improved significantly. Many people walked onto the street with bruises on their noses and faces, but they were in good spirits.
