After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1301: Unhappy Retribution
The black-armored leader put away the soul box, pointed to the cauldron, and said to the villagers: "He is yours now."

The group began to leave as abruptly as they had arrived.

The villagers of Liuping looked at each other, not knowing what had happened here and why the Black Armored Army came.

The old woman stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

They had never heard of such a powerful, mysterious, and extremely cruel existence nearby.

"I am the punishment from heaven for these evil people!" the black-armored knight said leisurely, "They are causing trouble to the world, and I come to save them with my own hands. This is called retribution!"

God's punishment? Redemption?
The entrance to the market was completely silent as everyone was trying to digest this information.

What exactly is retribution?
The yellow-haired girl came back to her senses first, and looked at him incoherently: "You, but, Liu Ping?"

These black-armored cavalrymen came only for Zhao Guangzhi? Aren't they going to occupy Liuping?
There has never been such a precedent before.

Wasn't the person who boiled Zhao Guangzhi more violent and cruel than him?
This is also the reason why everyone is trembling with fear, but now this black-armored army is planning to leave?
The leader in black armor said, "Zhao Guangzhi was defeated by Shi Zhoutou tonight. Those who defeated him will arrive here by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

There was a murmur among the crowd:
"The Zhao army was in a mess tonight and they were defeated as expected!"

"I heard that the Shizhoutou army was led by their local garrison."

He Lingchuan squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the mount continued to move forward: "How to treat them is up to you to decide."

The yellow-haired girl asked, "Why did you come here tonight? Just to execute Zhao Guangzhi in public and let us avenge you?"

After capturing Zhao Guangzhi, this black-armored army did not kill him with a single blow. Instead, they brought him to Liuping and asked the villagers to retaliate by boiling the ogre alive.

Their methods were so cruel, but their motives were so... She didn't know how to describe it.

The horse walked past her, and the black-armored leader walked eastward without looking back:

"God will punish you for what you have done. This is what you deserve."

These words also echoed in everyone's heart, as if the lingering sound was still lingering after surrounding thousands of mountains.

The first rays of morning light just appeared in the eastern sky.

Its daybreak.

This chaotic and bizarre night, in which absurd reality and the joy of revenge were intertwined, finally passed.

A brand new day, a day not oppressed by ogres, has arrived.

People looked towards the east, and the backs of each black-armored knight were coated with a layer of soft golden light by the morning light.

There was a rustling sound behind.

Dong Rui looked back and reported to He Lingchuan in real time: "Hey, many people have knelt down and kowtowed to you... Oh, many more people have also knelt down and cried uncontrollably."

He Lingchuan corrected: "Not just for 'me', but for 'us'."

These words were not just said to Dong Rui.

"That's right." Dong Rui straightened his sore shoulders, "It's for us."

The black-armored knights couldn't help but look back, and saw a large group of people kneeling down behind them.

So many villagers bowed their heads to the ground and prostrated themselves in front of them to thank them for saving them from suffering.

When the villagers looked up, the black-armored knights saw genuine gratitude on their faces.

In this night of passionate fighting, they rescued civilians from two cities and gained the kindness of thousands of people.

The cavalrymen all puffed out their chests.

They had to take a deep breath to suppress the pride in their hearts and continue riding forward.

Wanqi Liang inexplicably thought of the boy in the dark alley of Shizhoutou. When the Bailong tribe escaped from Ya Country, they hid from place to place along the way, with no food to eat. Many children in the tribe were pale and thin, just like that boy.

Some weak children disappeared without a trace.

He Lingchuan could hear the whispers of the crowd behind him without even turning his head.

It sounds like gratitude, like supplication, and like prayer, and it becomes particularly clear through the magnification of the Qianglong Armor.

He seemed to hear every word, even if it was just mumbled.

He Lingchuan closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.

The power of wishes collected by the Qianglong Armor has indeed increased.

Before he even left Liuping, new aspirations began to gather in from all directions, bit by bit.

He could clearly feel that they came from the two places he had just passed.

Although the number was small, He Lingchuan was in a particularly good mood. Because in addition to the two experiments of Liu Chengshou and cooking Zhao Guangzhi, it can be proved that doing something that pleases people can indeed quickly accumulate willpower.

This experiment also proves that what he wants to win from now on is people's hearts.

This actually coincides with his strategic goal of entering the Golden Plains!

He Lingchuan pressed the divine bone necklace and said, "Well done. The recasting of the Qianglong armor was of great help to him."

However, he also felt that the karma attached to the Qianglong Armor had increased a little bit.

This is a nasty thing, it follows you everywhere and you can't get rid of it.

The recasting of the Qianglong Armor is like a double-edged sword, it is impossible for him to only have the positive effects.

At this time, Wanqi Feng also rode over to report:
"I just interrogated two Zhao army prisoners. They both said that there was an elite team in the army. They were brave and invincible, and they were well-organized. Zhao Guangzhi used them to fight the enemy and was always successful. But more than 20 days ago, this team suddenly collapsed for some reason, and its performance on the battlefield was mediocre."

"More than 20 days ago?" Dong Rui suddenly realized, "The business scope of the Xuanlu Ghost King is very wide. Even Zhao Guangzhi is involved with it."

He Lingchuan sneered: "One is the Ghost King, the other is an ogre, they are birds of a feather."

They all love to eat living people.

More than 20 days ago, He Lingchuan destroyed the Ghost King Xuanlu. So the Ghost King's clone placed with Zhao Guangzhi would of course be destroyed as well.

Calculating the time, it was exactly when Zhao Guangzhi attacked Shizhoutou.

"No wonder Zhao Guangzhi suddenly retreated!" Dong Rui took off his gloves and snapped his fingers. "The Ghost King's clone suddenly disappeared, disrupting Zhao Guangzhi's position. The Stone Helmet Head's resistance was particularly fierce. It doesn't look like they can be defeated in a short time."

The team trotted forward, getting farther and farther away from Liuping.

Passing through a deserted valley, the scout returned and reported: "There is no human habitation within three to five miles."

Everyone immediately put away their armor and weapons and changed back into their regular clothes.

The black armored army was fierce and fierce. In the blink of an eye, they turned back into Yang Shan's guards, and they all looked like ordinary people. Dong Rui pounded his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief. He finally took it off. He was really not used to wearing it!
"Disperse." He Lingchuan ordered Wanqi Feng, "Don't let anyone associate it with you."

"Yes." Except for He Lingchuan and Dong Rui, the remaining dozens of people immediately divided into three groups and dispersed like flowing clouds.

Their mission in Shizhoutou and Liuping has been completed.

"There are still too many people coming out to carry out the mission." With more people, the target is bigger, which is not conducive to dispersing afterwards. He Lingchuan looked at the backs of the people, "We should do fewer large missions like this in the future, and we need to reduce the number of people."
