I'm a villain, not a devil

Although it is called a satellite city, Shawu is still of considerable size, and its population of over 500,000 allows it to be self-sufficient.

Of course, it is still far worse than the legendary main city, the City of Sand. People living here have to look at the wind and sand above their heads every day, and life is just barely manageable.

I heard that the residents of the main city live in an oasis and have a daily supply of fruits and vegetables. Not only is the scenery there picturesque, but it is also not affected by wind, sand and the bad dome, and you can see the sun hanging high above your head every day.

The biggest goal in life for the residents of Shawu is to enter the main city and obtain citizenship. Of course, if that is not possible, it would also be great to be able to enter Shaer and Shayi, which are closer to the main city.

The entire City of Sand was built by people sent by the former City of Sand. Not only does it have a mysterious power that blocks wind and sand from entering the city, there are also many fertile farmlands in the city. It is said that some kind of magical power also transformed the original desert land.

Both the Sand City and the Satellite City are closed to the outside world, and the people here are accustomed to staying within the city, with basically no changes in their daily lives.

However, what should have been a normal day changed when a shrill warning sounded in the city.

Many people looked up in surprise, and many put down their work and walked towards the city defense square - Shawu's city defense forces abide by the "Acropolis System", half of all city defense forces train and patrol, and half do farm work, and they are replaced at fixed times, and when the signal is given, they all gather and prepare for battle.

Looking at the city defense troops who put down their work and rushed to the assembly point, many people showed envy.

In Sand Five, the City Defense Force is a position that many people envy. Food and lodging are provided during training, and contribution points that can be used to enter the City of Sand are regularly issued. There is no need to pay taxes when working as a farmer. If you choose to hand over excess resources, you can get half more contribution points than normal.

As for the danger posed by the city defense forces, the residents of Shawu could only shake their heads and smile.

Everyone knows that the satellite city of Shawu is located in the gray sea and is surrounded by sandstorms. It is said that there is a powerful country called the Empire in the outside world. The Empire has sent troops many times, and the most tragic one was just when they had just climbed the city wall of Shawu.

The army, which was equal to half of the population of Shawu City, couldn't even camp in the wind and sand, and finally fled in disgrace, leaving behind a large number of corpses and armor? The losses of the Shawu City Defense Force were almost negligible, and those who were unfortunately injured or killed also earned considerable contribution points and subsidies for their families.

Who wouldn't want to do such a good job?

The shrill signal sound in the city did not panic the residents. They just looked at the city defense troops rushing to the square and talked about them with some envy.

"The life of the city defense army is so good..."

"Isn't it? Half of the year is spent on training, and the rest of the time you can do some work and earn all the money. Their chances of entering the City of Sand are much greater than ours."

"Hey, what do you think the signal is for this time?"

"What could it be? Maybe there are some crazy beasts active nearby, or some strange phenomenon of the Gray Sea itself has appeared, and someone needs to be on guard against it. However, the whole city is recruiting soldiers, and it looks like the scale is quite large."

"What's the point of having a large scale? Even if we can't solve the problem, won't everything be fine if we retreat back to the city? In my opinion, this is a good opportunity to earn contribution points."

"good chance?"

"That's right. My neighbor's distant cousin, Xiao Ke'er, had one of his legs eaten by the crazy beasts last month. As a result, the government gave him a prosthetic limb and awarded him contribution points. Now his whole family has moved to Shasi."

After hearing this, the people around him all showed envy. One leg could be exchanged for so many things, that was really a good deal...

The residents were chatting leisurely, and the city defense troops who had gathered showed no urgency on their faces.

The towering city walls and natural geographical environment meant that Shawu was an impregnable city. The fact that so many people were gathered this time probably meant there was some large-scale crazy beast or a large-scale gray sea phenomenon.

That’s not a big deal. Just follow the main force. If it doesn’t work, retreat back to the city. No one can attack us anyway.

The city defense forces assembled and after waiting for a moment, the city lord in casual clothes came out.

Seeing that the city lord didn't even put on his armor, the city defense soldiers were no longer nervous and thought that there shouldn't be any big problems.

The mayor of Shawu is a brown-haired man with a beard. He is tall and strong, with thick hair. From a distance, he looks like a brown bear - many people in the city secretly call him the Brown Bear Mayor, and his name just happens to be Zong Xiong.

Zongxiong was uncharacteristically silent, and after a while, his loud voice rang out.

"The survey team in the city has discovered a mineral vein. There is a group of crazy beasts near the mineral vein. Everyone, listen to the order and go out of the city to clean up the crazy beasts."

So that's it... The city defense soldiers suddenly realized what was going on and immediately responded in unison: "Yes!"

"The spies reported that the group of crazy beasts will release some kind of toxic gas. In order to ensure their safety, everyone should take the antidote in advance. This time, we will distribute the long-acting antidote collectively to prevent another idiot from taking a bottle of antidote and drinking it in a panic."

The crowd suddenly burst into joyful laughter.

A huge water tank was pushed up, and the city defense soldiers stepped forward one by one and all took a sip.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Okay, everyone, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Zong Xiong did not set out with the team. He just watched the city defense troops leave. When he returned to the room and was the only one left, a few drops of sweat slid down his forehead.

"Your Excellency controls me and gives orders. Is there something in the water?" Zong Xiong said through gritted teeth.

A leisurely voice sounded, and a man and a woman walked out from the shadows of the room.

"Control? Lord City Lord, I just gave you a choice. Do you want to save your life or give your soldiers something to drink?" The man showed a mean and shameless smile. "Obviously, you have made your choice."

The person who spoke was Sean!

When discussing with Bai Ye, Sean set his sights on the City of Sand. However, given that there was basically no information leaking out of the City of Sand, he decided to attack the satellite cities of the City of Sand first.

The sand and dust in the sky is the geographical feature of the Gray Sea, and it is also influenced by mysterious forces. But for Sean, as long as he can find Sand Five, everything will be easy.

This time, Sean directly used the "dumbest" method, which was to follow the underground water veins. He and Bai Ye started directly from the underground water veins of the imperial capital and found the largest underground river in this territory.

Coincidentally, the Grey Sea was once the territory of the high-ranking officials, and Sean also knows a little bit about the "divine means".

Without much effort, they followed the water veins of the underground river and found Shawu above their heads.
