Wow! The explosion rate is really high

Everyone thought they heard wrong.

The leading city lord looked at the strange man in front of him in confusion, "Comrade reinforcements, what did you say...?"

Bai E's eyes were cold and he repeated it calmly, "I said, change the city lord and come and talk to me again."

There was an uproar among the crowd who confirmed that they heard correctly.

Someone immediately yelled, "How dare you! Do you know who you are talking to? The person standing in front of you is the Lord of our Thorn City!"

But the scolding voice was lonely, and there were no more voices to echo him.

Under normal circumstances, the ashes of anyone who dared to speak to their city lord like this would have been scattered.

But today... after having just seen the other party's terrifying power of destroying the entire insect nest by himself, no one dared to pursue this little detail.

They were just wondering, was there some misunderstanding?

Or even if there was a little conflict in the past, it can be completely reduced to a major issue. The minor matter can be reduced~

They are all allies, why bother?

The corners of the city lord's eyes twitched slightly, "Your Excellency... Your Excellency, I don't quite understand what you mean? I am the city lord of Thorn City. I am the real deal. If you have any opinions, you can tell me clearly. If we can do it, we will all do it. Cooperate!"

Bai E frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "What I said is not clear enough? I will ask you to change the city lord!"

Then the city lord's face turned completely gloomy, "Your Excellency, your hand is stretched a little too long!"

Bai E ignored him and just looked behind him, "Someone, come forward! Just say one thing and you will be the new city lord from now on."

"Your Excellency, you have gone too far!" The city lord's face was as gloomy as water, and he almost growled a threat, "We in Thorn City are not afraid of you!"

However, there is a strange situation behind him.

Although most people don't know what kind of feud there is between the adult who came to help and their own city lord, they don't care about the details, or even about right or wrong.

All they knew was that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The old city lord can become the city lord, of course because he has the most power and resources in Thorn City.

But that doesn't mean everyone agrees with him.

Even because of the despair when facing the insect nest, the city lords in recent years have almost completely failed in the development of the city except for being more concerned about their own dominance.

Many aspiring officials have long been dissatisfied with such a city lord, but there is no room for resistance in the face of the city lord's iron-blooded methods to maintain his rule.

And now...

This opportunity for resistance may have come.

In the past, they had never considered how much influence one person's power could have on the layout of the city.

Even if it was an existence of the level of the rumored God of War in the Imperial City, they expected that they would have to hang out in the city for a few years and reach a truly high position before they could have a certain impact on the city's pattern.

But right now...

A true God of War who could easily destroy the insect nest by himself could also easily destroy their Thorn City.

Facing a being who can destroy a city by himself, what pattern can the city have?

It’s not just what the other party wants, what does the city have to become?

Such a person who wants their Thorn City to change its city lord should not just pay lip service to it, right?

The only thing they need to consider is whether the true God of War who comes to support them just treats the candidates who stand up as disposable pawns.

If the other party sincerely supports him, then even an unknown person who has no foundation in Thorn City can instantly become the actual person in charge of the entire city!

Between the iron-blooded methods of the old city lord and the powerful human allies who came to support, countless people in the team behind the city lord looked at each other, ready to make a move.

Knowing that any attitude towards the strong support in front of him was incompetent and furious, the city lord turned to look at the team behind him. He also noticed the strange atmosphere in the team with an angry look on his face, "What are you doing?! What are you all thinking? ?! You...want to be my enemy?"

These words seemed to arouse some people's rebellious intentions, so a man who was still wavering took a step in an instant.

He directly ignored the city lord in front of him and looked directly in Bai E's direction, "Sir, if you are really willing to protect me from death, then I will be the new city lord of Thorn City!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a chorus of voices in agreement.

"Sir, I am also willing to be the city lord!"

"Sir, I can also be the city lord!"

The drummer of the honor guard next to him also raised his drumsticks and shouted loudly, "I want to be an adult too!"

Bai E, however, just looked at the man who stood up first, with steady eyes and nodded vigorously, "It's you."

"Crazy! You are all crazy!" The old city lord swept his fingers in all directions, "You are causing trouble! You! You all must die! Where are the guards?! Where are the guards? Take them all down quickly! Execute them all on the spot! Not a single one of you! Keep!"

The guards of the Guards quickly came up from all around, but looking at the lonely foreign figure, no one dared to take action.

Those figures wearing standard armor were eager to try, but hesitated.

The city lord, who knew what they were thinking about, suddenly turned back to stare at Bai E and warned: "This is our own matter in Thorn City and has nothing to do with your Excellency in Blackwater City! Even if it goes to the Alliance Council, we will be the ones to be justified! I hope Your Excellency is somewhat self-aware!”

These words were both a warning to Bai E and an instruction to his own bodyguards.

After all, the other party was just from outside the city. Even if the matter got serious and ended up with the Alliance, he, the real city lord, would be the one to take charge.

"Do it!"

"Who dares?" Bai E narrowed his eyes and released his spiritual aura.

Killing was far easier than intimidation. He just hoped that these people would not be ungrateful.

Seeing that the guards who were about to rush stopped again in the blink of an eye, the city lord jumped anxiously, "Come on, what are you waiting for?!"

The fat finger even pointed directly at Bai E, "He is not in the mecha now. Even the strongest pilot's body is made of flesh!"

Before he finished speaking, a dark shadow instantly shot out from his fingertips.

Bai E, who had always maintained the utmost vigilance, shook his hand with a sword. The enchanted sword that appeared in his hand at some point instantly deflected the jet-black claw blade that came from it.

"clang!"

The terrifying sound of gold and iron clashing stung the eardrums of everyone present. Bai E, holding his sword, just looked at the human-looking city lord in front of him with a sneer, "Finally, can't you help but show up?"

His Zerg nemesis had warned him early in the morning, but the group of people coming out of Thorn City was so dense that it was difficult to pinpoint them.

Bai E has been waiting for this...or this group of insects to show up.

I just didn’t expect that the human being transformed into an insect would be the city lord himself!

The incident between the two caused the teams that were still in chaos to move away in panic. Everyone looked at the dark claws growing out of the hands of the old city lord in horror.

That was not the physical organ that humans should have, it was the chitinous carapace texture that had only been seen on insects in the past.

A small number of insiders instantly remembered the information brought back by the team that had gone to form an alliance——

Mutated bugs have disguised themselves as humans and blended into human society.

At present, it is only confirmed that this mutant Zerg exists in Eternal Night City in the far north.

And now...

These mutated Zerg have actually blended into their city of Thorns a long time ago, right?

And the city lord who was completely exposed no longer cared about his disguised identity.

The identity of the city lord is of course the best disguise, but now that the other party is determined to abolish his position as the city lord of Thorn City, there is no point in maintaining the disguise of this identity.

Seeing that his identity is useless, he must take this opportunity to achieve the greatest results.

As he said himself, in his eyes, Bai E left the mecha when it thought the opponent was the weakest.

As long as he takes advantage of this moment to kill the opponent, he will eventually rise again.

The identity of the city lord was exposed? The worst that can happen is to change your identity.

Change takes time, but there is plenty of time.

The premise... is to kill this human being who has just wiped out its nest and is full of deadly threats!

"Swish, swish, swish!" The dark bone blade flickered in the dusk, and every attack was full of threats.

Bai E kept evading, only occasionally using the enchanted Star-Eating Blade in his hand to block.

There are bugs in the city of Thorns. It must be displayed for a longer period of time so that these people can really take it seriously and make it easier for the whole city to cooperate with it later.

It is indeed convenient to act alone, but when cooperation is required, it will show the disadvantage of not having a team to follow.

This is the first city he has rushed to for help, and everything he encounters will be absolutely useful for reference in the rest of his journey.

The officials of Thorn City who were watching from a distance stared at the electric-moving two-person battlefield with fearful eyes, and exclaimed in amazement.

"City Lord, why did you become like that?"

"Is that some new type of human body modification technology? How come I've never heard of it?"

"I didn't expect the city lord to be so strong?"

"What city lord? That's a bug!"

"insect!"

"A bug!? How could it be a bug?! How could a bug look like a city lord?"

"You haven't read the report of the team that came back from the imperial capital... The latest mutants have appeared among insects, which can perfectly transform into us humans and lurk into our human society. I heard that they are forming alliances. At the conference, a contestant from one city discovered his true identity, and everyone in the entire league learned about this brand-new news. "

"Then why didn't we know?!"

"Of course you don't know! Except for a few of us, the city lord who learned the news immediately has strictly ordered all the insiders to keep silent."

"Oh~ no wonder!" Someone suddenly realized, "The city lord himself has been replaced and disguised by insects a long time ago. No wonder he would completely keep silent about this kind of thing."

"No wonder this gentleman targeted our city lord like this when he came. It turns out that he has long seen that our city lord is disguised by a bug! Wait! If a bug can disguise itself as a city lord, can it also disguise itself as any of us?! "

The moment someone said this frightening speculation, the welcoming team that had been hugging each other for warmth instantly fell into pieces.

Everyone tried to keep a certain distance from other people around them as much as possible to prevent the people around them from being disguised as bugs and launching an irresistible attack on themselves in an instant.

Didn't you see that the outer city master who could destroy the insect nest alone only fought back and forth with the city lord disguised as an insect? If other disguised bugs attack them, how can they resist it?

However, Bai E did not let their fear last long.

Indulging this bug disguised as the city lord was just to make everyone in Thorn City more impressed by it.

After seeing that everyone had realized this fact, his subordinates no longer held back.

The enchanted Star-Eating Blade cut out a continuous sword shadow, and the terrifying blow that instantly killed a hundred heads cut the incarnated mother lurker into a flower-like sausage almost instantly.

In the end, the figure with dozens of cuts on its body lay helplessly on the ground, and the iconic octopus head clearly appeared in front of everyone present.

The officials, big and small, who saw this scene clearly no longer had any doubts in their hearts, "Sure enough!"

"The old city lord is really a bug!"

"Insects have really blended into our human society!"

All the officials, big and small, looked frightened, and for a moment they all seemed a little confused.

Countless eyes were looking at the foreign figure in front of them, hoping that this foreign reinforcements man who first destroyed the insect nest and then recognized the fake city lord would come to their aid in Thorn City and help them completely escape from the shadow of the insects. .

Bai E approached with the octopus-headed body in one hand and threw it in front of everyone. He glanced at the dark-colored and frightened people in front of him and said in a deep voice: "You should all know the current situation, right?"

"I know, I know!"

The man who was the first to stand up took the initiative to walk to the front of the crowd, looked at Bai E and respectfully replied, "Sir, we just learned about what happened in the Imperial Capital Alliance Competition."

He pointed at the octopus-headed corpse on the ground, with a look of fear on his face, "We were all deceived by this fake city lord before, and had no idea about it. I also hope that for the sake of the alliance, you will give us a hand in Thorn City! I represent The entire Thorn City thanks you for your help today!"

"This is exactly the purpose of my coming here." Bai E nodded and strode towards the direction of the city. "I can identify whether there are other lurker bugs in your city, but the premise is that I need all of you. Everyone in the city cooperates very well.”

"Of course!" The man followed Bai E step by step.

At the same time, he glanced at the former bureaucratic colleagues who were looking at him with pleading eyes, and asked Bai E carefully: "My lord, I have another unkind request..."

"explain."

"I also hope that you will tell us if there are any mutant Zerg species among us... Otherwise, even if we are doing things, everyone may be afraid."

Bai E glanced around and gave everyone a comfortable answer, "No here." (End of Chapter)
