Chapter 9 The Crisis Is Coming
Wang Fei's strength was recognized by the leaders of the mercenary regiment present. After that, he also officially joined the Lingyue Mercenary Regiment and other united alliances. However, each regiment leader had their own affairs, so after a short confirmation, they left one after another.
More than an hour apart, they appeared on the streets of Stone City again. The surroundings are deserted, and there is still no anger to speak of. The hurried pedestrians all looked worried.
The Stone City is about to change greatly. Even ordinary pedestrians have understood it, and Wang Fei has to think about the future.
Although a mercenary alliance has been formed, it still can't dispel his worries. After all, the power controlled by the owner of the Stone City is much more than theirs.
Unconsciously, Wang Fei came to a familiar building. The small house looks dark and depressing, but the decoration at the door gives people a refreshing feeling.
Sha Widow Hotel, Wang Fei entered the settlement of Stone City for the first time.
Looking at the spider web hanging at the door, he knew that no one had been in the hotel for a long time. This is the opposite of the lively scene more than four years ago. Has there been a change even here?
The Widow Hotel has almost become a gathering place for mercenaries in Stone City. However, nowadays, some scattered mercenaries are almost controlled by the owner of the Stone City, and the hotel has naturally lost the capital to survive.
Wang Fei slowly walked to the edge of the hotel and then dialed the spider web hanging on the lin top with his hand. No matter what the situation is, at least he has got the help of Widow Sa and should have tidy the hotel.
The lock of the gate has no trace of destruction, which makes Wang Fei a little relieved. At least, it shows that Widow Sha left after she was locked.
"Young man, you are..."
When Wang Fei finished cleaning and wanted to leave. A white-haired old man with only one hand appeared in front of Wang Fei and asked weakly.
Wang Fei looked at the other party carefully, and the weak star fluctuation had not yet exceeded the star level. He should ignore the other party, but he replied politely, "Grandpa, I've been here before. Seeing that the hotel was so depressed today, I couldn't help cleaning it.
"Alas, at least 80% of the mercenaries in the whole Stone City have come to this hotel. Countless mercenary regiments received help from Boss Sha. It's just that anyone can imagine that it will look like today!"
"What happened to Aunt Sa? Do you know?" Wang Fei couldn't help asking, and his eyes showed some urgency.
The old man showed a look of embarrassment, as if he were making a major decision. And Wang Fei did not disturb him and let him make his own decision.
After struggling, the old man finally made a decision. After a firm look, he replied, "At the beginning, Boss Sha fought against the Lord of the Stone City in order to help those trapped mercenaries. Finally, he was directly imprisoned in the prison in the west of the city by the owner of the Stone City.
There are only one or two simple words from the other party, but Wang Fei learned a lot of information from it. He guessed that the owner of the Stone City must have used his power to force some scattered mercenaries. And those mercenaries, in the final desperate situation, may be rescued like Widow Sha.
And with the help of Widow Sha, the plan of the owner of the Stone City was shattered. The latter should have arrested Widow Sha in anger.
On the one hand, it is for the smooth implementation of her plan; on the other hand, it is also for Widessa to threaten some mercenaries. After all, Widow Sha still has a certain reputation among the scattered mercenaries in Stone City.
After figured out this matter, Wang Fei looked at the old man gratefully and said, "Old man, it's lucky to have you this time!"
“......”
The old man was confused, and Wang Fei did not make any explanation. He moved forward rapidly directly towards the station of the wind-ride mercenary regiment.
"Hight!"
Before Wang Fei ran far, he was stopped by a team of patrol guards. He looked at each other doubtfully and asked, "Guys, what are you doing?"
"Who are you? Why are you still running around when the Stone City is on emergency alert!"
"Wang Fei, the head of the mercenary regiment, has just returned from outside. Sorry, I really don't know the rules here!"
As soon as the guard heard Wang Fei's mercenary, he immediately became nervous. While taking out the weapon, he issued a warning and said, "Gun over the weapon, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
"Hmm! I said, the Stone City is too wide! The weapon of a mercenary is a second life. Even in various cities on the mainland, I have never heard of the saying that weapons should be handed over!" Wang Fei replied with a straight face. He didn't know what the other party's intention was, but obviously he would not easily submit.
"There are other places, this is Stone City. The words of the city lord are the will. You just need to hand over your weapons as required. Of course, after the warning, the weapon will still be returned to you!"
The patrols are almost all ordinary soldiers who dare not collide head-on with Wang Fei. Seeing Wang Fei's tough attitude, his tone was obviously much softer.
However, even so, Wang Fei will not give the sword to the other party. He stared and replied rudely, "My weapon is my life. If you have the ability, come and get it!"
The alert has just begun. Wang Fei is confident that the owner of the Stone City is not ready to lose his temper. After all, 300 missing stars are enough to explain this problem.
The soldier retreated nervously for a few steps, afraid that the other party would take action against them.
"It's all the regulations of the lord of the city, and we just implement it. It's just a weapon, which won't affect you much at all. Besides, the alert may end in two days, and the weapons will still be returned to you!"
"Stop talking nonsense, come and get it if you have the ability!" After Wang Fei left a sentence, he went straight to the distance without any words.
Seven or eight guards stood still. Today is the first day of vigilance, and this is the first time they have encountered this situation. For a moment, I didn't know what to do.
Wang Fei, who left with his chest out, stepped on steady steps until he was blocked by the building around the corner and breathed a sigh of relief.
He should be glad that the patrol guards are on duty for the first time. If a guard had been bolder just now and called loudly to attract more guards, he would have left his weapons and run away.
After all, the power of Stone City is not something he can fight against.
After seven turns and a few circles, Wang Fei returned to his residence. However, he is also worried that after reporting his name just now, he will be recorded by the guards. At this time, he can no longer control so much.
The Stone City has been fully alerted. Except for the soldiers on patrol, it is only allowed to enter and not go out. Fortunately, it has been united with the Lingyue Mercenary Regiment and other mercenary regiment teams, at least when the crisis came, the strength of one side has been improved to a certain extent.
"Big boss, you're back. What's going on?"
Looking at Gu Li and others with an eager look on his face, Wang Fei finally showed a faint smile on his face. There are a group of good brothers around, what else is there to be afraid of? If there is any difficulty, let's face it together!
"Good news! I have reached a joint alliance with the Lingyue Mercenary Regiment. As soon as the gate opens, everyone will leave the Stone City together! Of course, first of all, you need to ensure your own safety and not be broken by the owner of the Stone City in various names!"
When Wang Fei said the results discussed with the leaders of the mercenary regiment, he immediately won the laughter of Gu Li and others. There is no need to fight alone, which means that there is no need to face the powerful Stone City forces alone.
"Finally, I can rest assured! Boss, you don't know! When we saw the guards on the road today, we were almost extremely nervous. Now, with the rest of the mercenary regiments, after uniting their forces, there is no need to be afraid of the owner of the Stone City!" Gu Li is also rarely nervous, but now he has forgotten all his previous troubles.
But Wang Fei was here, and his face immediately calmed down and said calmly, "However, we can't relax our vigilance. On the way here, something happened that might be bad for us!"
Immediately, Wang Fei explained what happened to the guards and the people present and apologized.
