To the east of the imperial capital of Longshan, a block of three avenues from the Imperial Palace, this was the residence of the top wealthy merchants of the Yongshan Empire.
Today, as in the other streets, at the crossroads of every street in this sprawling neighborhood of thousands of top wealthy merchants, there are large groups of entertainers performing.
Clowns, magicians, witches in ugly masks, dancers, singers, wandering crystal ball fortune tellers, and so on, all kinds of strange entertainers were hired by the Longshan Empire at high prices to add luster to today's court banquets.
When Lin Kaixuan crushed the crystal ball in his hand, he was on the stage at a crossroads, wearing simple leather armor, pretending to be in a troupe performing a bloody love story between a noble young master and a commoner girl, and all the actors suddenly became excited.
The sonorous sound was endless, and the nearly 100 actors of the troupe tore off their bloated costumes at the same time, revealing the tight leather armor they wore close to the flesh, and pulled out their shiny weapons.
A few magicians who were teasing children passing by with small magic tricks such as fireworks suddenly changed their faces when they were smiling, and with a wave of their hands, an extra wand that emitted powerful magic fluctuations suddenly appeared in their hands.
With a piercing whistling sound, they poured all their magic power, instantly entering all their magic power into their wands, and sending out the simplest but most practical magic of magic missiles.
Hundreds of human-skull-sized magic missiles of various series brought up long flame tails and smashed towards the surrounding high-ranking households.
These magicians clearly have the strength of the pinnacle of status, and they are only one step away from stepping into the threshold of a heavenly mage.
Together, they were enough to smash all the buildings on half the street in a very short time.
And the actors who jumped off the stage and got out from behind the stage, chanting the slogan of their mercenary group, killed the civilians on the street.
In their eyes, these ordinary people are not people, but the people behind the glittering gold coins who hired them have already said that killing a civilian of the Longshan Empire is a gold coin For these mercenaries, killing a civilian is just a matter of a knife, a knife is a gold coin, this price really can't be considered low, as for killing an ordinary soldier of the Longshan Empire is ten gold coins, a ten-man captain is a hundred gold coins, a hundred-man captain is two thousand gold coins, and a thousand-person captain is ten thousand gold coins If you can kill any of the court worship magicians of the Longshan Empire, it will be at least a price starting from 100,000 gold coins, and the nobles of the Longshan Empire, even if they are a meritorious knight with the lowest status, can be exchanged for tens of thousands of gold coins So, let's kill, kill by all means, no human head is a human head, it's all golden gold coins The clowns who were playing tricks with cards screamed sharply at the same time, and the cards in their hands turned into square blades made of iron sheets, and one after another roared out, and countless thin pieces of iron cards shot out, shooting towards the dozens of soldiers of the Longshan Empire standing on the corner of the street and nearly a hundred people in bronze hats, rangers, dragoons and other security forces who maintained order.
The wandering fortune tellers, who had set up small square tables with black tablecloths and used crystal balls for divination, smashed the crystal balls to the ground, and then extracted from under the tablecloths a powerful crossbow that was obviously made by the army.
The clattering sound was endless, and the three-linked and six-linked pure steel crossbow arrows brought a little cold light, and shot indiscriminately towards a few magicians who were flying past this street entrance on a magic energy frisbee.
Everything happened so suddenly, these wandering artists who were still smiling just now, they suddenly became demons who wanted people's lives.
But what horrified these wandering entertainers was that compared to the sudden killers, the citizens and soldiers who watched their performances on the street seemed to be the real demon incarnation.
A girl with a thick rouge gouache on her face was holding a short sword and stabbed a girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.
This fierce girl is the youngest daughter of the leader of the mercenary group disguised as a wandering troupe, although she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she already has the strength of the lower rank, in this mercenary group, she is one of the best genius girls In times of peace, in times of peace, civilians who can reach the level of status warriors at the age of fifteen or sixteen will certainly be valued by the official organs of various countries.
Maybe she still has a chance to become the concubine of a nobleman, but now that the entire Western Continent is in an uproar, and there are wars everywhere, such a genius girl can only kill another innocent girl for a gold coin When the tip of the short sword had already touched the skin of the frightened little girl in front of her, the ruthless mercenary girl had already shown a smug smile.
Of course, a gold coin is not a lot of money, but as long as a few civilians who have no power to resist, a good gouache from the mysterious Eastern Continent will be in hand The mercenary girl who was quite a bit of a gesture of "death" smiled proudly, she couldn't wait to feel the wonderful feeling of her short sword piercing the little girl's heart.
But to her horror, the little girl's face...
Her face was a little black no, no, no, it was her face, and it suddenly turned a weird black red Countless tiny scales came out from under the little girl's skin, and this little girl who was still smiling, enjoying the clown's change in the company of her grandfather, and clapping her hands with joy, suddenly became a firstborn horn, covered with countless ugly black and red scales, and constantly spewed out a trace of black smoke and sparks from the sky With a loud bang, the short sword stabbed on the skin of this little flame demon who at least had the strength of the heavenly rank, and the demon's scales were not damaged in the slightest, but the short sword forged from steel broke with a little spark.
Before the girl mercenary could come to her senses, the little flame demon was already grinning, and then slapped a paw on her head.
With a muffled sound, his head shattered, and Xiao Yan Demon screamed and shouted to the sky: "Ten gold coins."
At the same time, dazzling magical flames flashed on the walls of the surrounding high-ranking mansions, and hundreds of magical missiles that bombarded in all directions collided with the magic enchantment and exploded into the sky.
The powerful impact knocked a large part of the crowd on the street to the ground, including many of the soldiers of the mercenary group who rushed out like a fierce god, all of whom were knocked over by the exploding magic bullets.
The mercenary captain dressed as a tavern owner on the stage hissed, "What's going on, how can there be a magical enchantment here," but before he could get any explanation, a rapid arrow had pierced his throat and reaped his life.
Several Abyssal Grey Elves in black tights stood on a tower not far away with longbows in hand, looking down coldly at the movement in the surrounding streets.
Any enemy whose strength has reached the upper level of status will be choked by them with one arrow.
Poor soldiers of these mercenary groups didn't even have the slightest chance to react in the face of the sniping of these gray elves who had reached the heavenly level of strength and had been bathed in dragon blood.
Arrows and scythes like death's scythes tore through the air, and the best players in the mercenary group were constantly sniped, and none of them escaped the fate of death.
Those rangers and dragoons who were originally standing on the corner of the street, as if they had nothing to do, put down their masks at the same time at the moment when these mercenaries attacked, wrapped the scarlet cloak with a certain defensive ability behind them around them and wrapped the lower half of the unarmored body, and then picked up the cavalry spears and rushed towards the street in a charging formation.
The mercenaries who rushed to the front were still a dozen paces away from these rangers and dragoons, and they bore the brunt of the dragoons' crossbows.
Dozens of special armor-piercing crossbows easily tore through the rudimentary leather armor on their bodies, shot through their bodies, and broke through transparent holes the size of goose eggs in their bodies, and then continued to fly forward more than a dozen steps away with hideous blood water, and fell to the ground unwillingly.
Then the Rangers' rifles whistled and stabbed, and a few of the self-proclaimed mercenaries had just raised their swords with their daggies, and the light spears had already pierced their throats and hearts.
These rangers, who had also been strengthened by dragon blood and whose physical strength was comparable to that of saints, flicked the cavalry spears in their hands lightly, and the corpses of these mercenaries flew high and were easily thrown dozens of meters away by them.
A group of Longshan Imperial city guards stationed at the corner of the street, who were chatting with a group of bronze hats, also put down their masks, and they raised their shields in their left hands and held one-handed swords in their right hands, forming three horizontal formations, and marching along the street with rumbling steps to this side.
Any mercenary who dared to approach them was cut in two with a single sword and leather armor, and the strength of these city defenses far outnumbered these mercenaries, and none of them could escape under their hands.
As for the group of bronze hats wearing black uniforms, half-cloaked cloaks behind them, and round helmets, they blew the high-pitched police whistles, and pulled out specially lengthened one-and-a-half-meter-long metal sticks out of nowhere, and cooperated with these city guards to launch an attack on the mercenaries.
Compared with the long swords and short knives in the hands of those mercenaries, the one-and-a-half-meter-long metal long sticks in the hands of these copper hats undoubtedly have an absolute advantage.
And even the bronze hats of the Longshan Empire, they are all soaked in dragon blood, even if they don't have any fighting spirit at all, each of them has at least two or three thousand catties of divine power in their hands.
These ordinary mercenaries, even if they have a ground-level fighting spirit, it is impossible to beat them in strength.
