Chapter 234 The Black Soil City Lord's Conspiracy!
"We've almost reached Dragon City. This time... let's stay here!"
The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains, atop the mountain peak opposite the Salt Mine.
A man dressed in black gazed at the salt mine several miles away, his expression inscrutable.
He was a towering figure, standing two meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, as majestic as an iron tower.
But his eyes were narrowed to slits, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking, and instead giving him an extremely gloomy appearance.
This was none other than Mo Yan, the fearsome Lord of Black Soil City.
A powerful fire and earth elemental awakener capable of controlling the explosion of black rock and soil.
Few can rival him among the same eighth-tier awakened beings.
Even Xiao Ting, the city lord of Yan City, had never gotten the better of him.
"Lord of Dragon City, you have repeatedly challenged the authority of my Black Earth City, and you are doomed! But rest assured, after your fall, I will take good care of your rare treasures..."
His subordinates were all a bunch of unruly scoundrels, so the Black Soil City Lord was certainly no pushover.
He already knew that Longcheng had stolen his glowing tree.
They have repeatedly provoked Heitu City and extorted money from it...
She also stole his eleven concubines, including Chu Ling Shuang, the young lord of Shenbing City.
The hatred of having one's concubine stolen is irreconcilable!
None of these things were things that Mo Yan could swallow in silence.
However, Longcheng's behavior also made him somewhat wary.
And coincidentally, the orcs' salt mine was discovered by accident, and the Black Earth City Lord set up this scheme.
Lure the people of Dragon City to the Beast Mountain Range, inciting them to fight the orcs...
When both sides are severely weakened, or even perish together.
When that time comes... that's when he'll step in to pick up the pieces and clean up the mess.
"Hahaha... This is what happens when you, the mere city lord of Dragon City, go against my Black Soil City!"
Thinking of this, the Black Soil City Lord smiled smugly.
Although I haven't been to Dragon City yet, my subordinates have been sending back intelligence continuously.
It also made him realize that Dragon City's treasures were not limited to the glowing tree.
There was also a huge mulberry tree, a bodhi tree, and several mythical beasts...
In short... Dragon City has so many treasures!
After this battle, everything will belong to Mo Yan!
"Lord City Lord!"
Just then, a subordinate rushed over and shouted anxiously.
"What is it?" The Black Soil City Lord frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping over him.
"The plan has failed!"
"What happened? Did those orcs discover it?" The Black Earth City Lord's face immediately darkened.
Previously, he had mobilized dozens of shadowy figures to climb the cliff face, attempting to ambush the orcs from behind.
Once the raid succeeds and the mountain path is occupied, an ambush force can be laid.
With a pincer attack from both inside and outside, taking over the salt mine will be a piece of cake.
Even if the sneak attack fails, they can simply retreat to the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Because...the direction of their evacuation was precisely the route that the bearded man had taken from Longcheng.
In other words, if the orcs send people to hunt them down, they will directly confront Dragon City.
At that time... a great battle between the two sides will break out at any moment!
As for Heitucheng, he only needs to sit back and watch the show.
But now...
“We investigated the scene. The opponent probably eliminated all the shadows with just one move. That must be at least a seventh-tier ice-type awakened being... Orcs are mostly known for their strength and speed talents, so it doesn't seem like an orc did it. Moreover, the orcs are also investigating that area now, looking for traces of their companions..." The subordinate thought for a moment and then spoke again.
"If not orcs, then who are they?" Upon hearing this, the Black Earth City Lord's face darkened.
"Lord City Lord..." the subordinate suddenly realized something and asked suspiciously.
"The chief of the Anhui Salt Tribe hasn't replied, and the 'Returning Incense Insects' on his body have lost their sensitivity. Therefore, I suspect that Longcheng may already know about our plan and might interfere..."
Hidden on the body of the chieftain of the Wanyan tribe is a larva of the fragrant insect.
These small insects have a telepathic connection with their mother; they can sense each other as long as they get within a certain range.
By sensing the return of the fragrant insects, one can feel that Dragon City is rapidly approaching the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
But now... just as Longcheng arrived at the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, the Returning Incense Insects lost signal.
This suggests that the leader of the Wanyan tribe may have died!
"People from Dragon City?" Upon hearing his subordinate's words, the Black Earth City Lord's face grew even more gloomy, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "So... those three little rats who escaped were from Dragon City!"
He knew from his previous intelligence that there was a group of flying mounts in Dragon City.
However, orcs also have similar methods for controlling ferocious beasts.
Therefore, the Black Soil City Lord believed that it was very likely that the orcs had sent them to gather intelligence.
But now it seems... it's more likely to be Dragon City!
"Lord City Lord! Now that Dragon City has intervened, the situation has become complicated. What if..." the subordinate said with a worried expression.
Strictly speaking, Dragon City should belong to the human camp.
However, Black Soil City and Dragon City are like fire and water.
No one can guarantee that Dragon City won't collude with the orcs.
"Attack the salt mine immediately! Catch the orcs off guard and take the salt mine before Dragon City can make a move!" The Black Earth City Lord's pupils contracted, and he waved his hand, issuing the order directly.
Given the strength that Dragon City has demonstrated, if it were to cooperate with the orcs, even if Black Earth City were to win, it would suffer heavy losses and be reduced to a third-rate force!
Therefore... we must seize the salt mine before Dragon City makes its move.
"With so many shadowy figures around, taking over the salt mine in a short time shouldn't be too difficult."
The Black Soil City Lord glanced indifferently at the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain were hundreds of humanoid monsters bound by thick iron chains.
Those people looked like humans, but their entire bodies were pitch black, and their eyes were also pitch black.
All they do is instinctively tear apart any living thing...
At this moment, all of these shadowy monsters had vacant eyes and looked drowsy.
This is precisely the method for controlling the shadow recorded in the secret technique obtained in Black Earth City.
After all... these shadowy figures, while troublesome, could also easily injure their own people.
Even with basic control measures, the Black Soil City Lord wouldn't use them so easily.
Now... these monsters that everyone fears like tigers are his strongest trump card!
As for tearing the spatial rift ten or even a hundred times larger, with endless black energy surging out...
What does this have to do with Black Earth City? Anyway, this is the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and those orcs are the ones who should be having a headache!
The Black Soil City Lord had a sinister smile on his lips, and his narrowed eyes were full of malice.
He waved his hands, and two lumps of clay the size of human heads flew into his palms.
The next second, two balls of black flames surged from his palms, enveloping the clay.
Then it crashed violently down to the foot of the mountain.
boom! boom!
Two fireballs enveloped in black flames exploded at the foot of the mountain.
The shadowy figures, who had just been dozing off, were instantly awakened, their dark eyes widening as they roared wildly.
"My pets, you must be hungry. Go and eat!"
