Chapter 718 The Shadow Man and Princess Shirahoshi

Iron Ridge City, Duchy of Sterdam

Tieling City, which was originally built on the mountain, has completely turned into a huge military camp at this time. Teams from different places were stationed in the barracks clearly.

Among them, the army of the Principality of Stedan was at the front, while the army of the Black Iron Dwarves was on the left, and the army of the Southern Army of the Fire Phoenix Empire was on the right.

In front of Tieling City, a city wall that is tens of meters high stands here, and the flag of the Fire Phoenix Empire is flying high on the wall. Although the flag is a little dirty and even a little damaged, everyone who sees this flag will Involuntarily paying attention to him.

Below the flag is a group of troops armed to the teeth, and they are staring at the prairie outside the city wall with serious faces.

Next to them is a group of head-sized magic crystal cannons. These medium-sized magic crystal cannons point their black muzzles at the prairie outside.

Once they find the figure of the orcs, they will definitely unleash their anger and blow those orcs to pieces!

Hall had also been here before, but at that time the city wall seemed to be only about ten meters, but he did not expect that in this short period of one year, earth-shaking changes would have taken place here.

The black blood stains left on the city wall and the bumpy ground outside the city wall seemed to tell others that there seemed to be many battles here before, and the traces of the battle showed that the battle scene was very cruel.

But now it seems that everything is so quiet. If it weren't for some traces that couldn't be cleaned up, it would be as quiet as if nothing had happened.

In a dilapidated house in Tieling City, a black-robed man glanced at the patrol team, and after they had all left, he then looked back to a dark place aside.

I saw a figure also wearing a black robe here, but if you look carefully, you will find that this person seems to be trembling all over, as if he is afraid of something.

The man in the black robe walked over slowly, but the black robed figure leaning against the dark corner stopped trembling.

"Hehe, you are smart. If you are honest and obedient, I think you can still meet your father. After all, Charles is still very willing to see your niece!"

The person who spoke was none other than the black shadow that snatched Shirahoshi from under Takiwang's nose, and the man in black robe opposite him was none other than Shirahoshi Hall was looking for.

It seems that Hall's guess is correct, the black shadow is thinking about how to take Bai Xing from Tieling City to the prairie.

"Hmph!" Bai Xing's speaking ability was sealed by the black shadow man, so she could only hum to express her dissatisfaction.

By the way, Shirahoshi also felt very depressed during this period of time. She had already arrived in Ellen Continent and saw Takinomo, but she didn't expect that just when she wanted Takinoko to take her to see Hall and give him a surprise. when.

Neither she nor Takiwang expected that a black shadow would snatch Shirahoshi away at this moment.

At that moment, Shirahoshi felt that she was so useless. She learned from the conversation between Takimono and Somiko that at her own expense, Somiko turned out to be Hall's enemy. In this way, her arrival did not bring Hall any surprises. Instead, it brought more trouble, and she was annoyed for a long time.

Fortunately, apart from just not letting her talk and walk around, the black shadow man didn't do anything outrageous to her the rest of the time.

Now that he knows that he can't escape from here for the time being, the smart Bai Xing knows that for now, the most correct way is to cooperate honestly with the black shadow man and wait for an opportunity to escape.

Her trembling just now was not actually fear. She was trying to break the magic restriction placed on her by the shadow man, but unfortunately she still couldn't break it after a long time.

The black shadow man is not a fool either, he can naturally see what Bai Xing is doing, although his strength has plummeted after using the secret technique twice, but he is still very confident in his magic restraint, there is no way to break it with Bai Xing's strength .

Since Bai Xing wants to play, why not let her play enough? As long as she is honest and doesn't make trouble for herself.

They just came to Tieling City yesterday. Originally, the black shadow man wanted to go from the tunnel to the prairie through the Black Iron Fort, but he didn't expect that it was sealed off, and he wanted to climb over the high snow mountain to reach the other side. The strength of the injured black shadow man is still somewhat difficult.

He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. Tieling City was the closest and most suitable place so far.

What the black shadow man didn't expect was that Tieling City is no longer allowed to pass through here casually, and some civilians have already left here to take refuge in the capital of the Duchy of Stedan, so apart from soldiers here are some businessmen and some people who have received missions. Mercenaries.

This made it very difficult for the black shadow man to take Bai Xing through these few places to reach the prairie.

In fact, the black shadow man still has a way, but the price is too high, and he will not choose that way if it is not necessary.

In addition to this method, during the period of contact with human beings, the black shadow man has deeply understood a truth, money can make ghosts turn around!

He has already investigated, and despite the fact that Tieling City looks like six iron walls, there are actually big loopholes here.

First of all, there are three different factions here. Although they are all headed by the Southern Army of the Fire Phoenix Empire, in fact, as long as there is no war, the three factions still operate independently.

This provides a favorable condition for him to leave!

Moreover, he also found out that, especially the Duchy of Stedam, which is at the forefront, they are not monolithic. The eldest prince Nan Can and the second prince Aituo are already in dire straits, but because of the current enemy, they It's just a secret rivalry.

The black shadow man got the news from a prisoner using the secret method of the demons. Of course, after getting the news, the soul of the prisoner became the food in his mouth. People who are useless to the demons naturally have no survival necessary.

If it weren't for his fear of being discovered, the shadow man would have captured more humans to replenish his lost soul power.

Now that he has heard the news, the purpose of what he will do next is very clear.

Gold, silver and jewels are useful or useless to the demons. They are all plundered anyway, and the black shadow man doesn't feel sorry for how much they spend.

And the first step he has to do is to bribe the logistics officer of the Sterdam Duke's team, who is from Nan Can.

The black shadow man believed that through him he could get in touch with Nan Can, and as long as he got in touch with Nan Can, the next thing would be easy.
