Dangerous Peak City is the first city that Ashu Rufate has seen in the Chaos Realm for so long.

Yes, this is a city—even from the perspective of southerners. Ashu Rufate long ago believed that the Chaos Tribe had the technical ability to build cities, but this was indeed the first time he saw a city in the Chaos Realm.

The city is not particularly large, and the construction pattern is standardized - at least there is nothing incomprehensible. The entire urban pattern imitates the seven central countries (probably), adapts to local conditions and makes full use of the geographical environment. The shape of the city wall is also in modern style - that is, the city wall does not pursue special height, but has requirements for thickness. Scholars who are familiar with history know that this change in architectural ideas has emerged since artillery and magic were widely used on the battlefield. War left eye-catching marks on the city wall - even from a distance, you can see that the various defense facilities on the city wall are very complete. On some of the facilities, the traces of magic and fighting are clearly identifiable. Moats were dug outside the city wall, and they were not the trenches with sharp wooden stakes commonly found in the Chaos Tribe, but the real moat - wide and deep.

According to the standards of the seven central countries, this city can only be considered medium. The population of this size will not exceed 50,000. But in the chaos, this is already a large-scale town (the most populous place Ashrufate has ever seen). It makes sense that she exists - because it is a very rich valley (even by the standards of southerners). The mountains have become her natural shelter, blocking her from the north.

Severe cold and wind and snow. According to locals, the four seasons here are even, and the cold wind and ice and snow dominate the land very short. In addition, an underground river that gushed out from the mountains brings irrigation and drinking water sources and provides a rich catch. The land in the valley is fertile and suitable for farming and grazing, and the mountains can also provide various minerals. In a word, if described in the poet's language, it can be said that this city called Dangerous Peak City is a pearl in the chaos realm.

Such a beautiful territory is much more attractive than the mere salt pond of speechless panic. According to the law of chaos, such treasures will naturally arouse the covetousness of countless powerful people, so her change of ownership is not slow. About twenty years ago, a Chaos Lord Tsengchi named Astianna came here with his team and occupied the city. He was a powerful Chaos Lord. In the next twenty years, those guys who tried to seize land and power were mercilessly repelled. Then, according to the law of chaos, the conquered people were enslaved, and their lives and freedom were handed over to the hands of the target they had wanted to attack. As the population in the city increased, the city became more and more prosperous and powerful.

Until today, another Chaos Lord, Ashrufate, led his army to the city.

Although Asthurfate sent an envoy to clearly express that he had no interest in such a city. No matter what he said, the city entered a state of war ready at the first time. Finally, the Chaos Lord Astiana invited Asthurfate to enter the city for a sigh.

"Don't be good for me?" Ashu Rufate smiled. "Tarek, you're right. I guess they've arranged a whole team of assassins to find a chance to kill me."

"Since that's the case, why do you have to..."

"Of course it's because I don't think this will happen," Ash Rufate replied. "Communication...you have to understand that they have given at least a chance to communicate. With such an opportunity, we don't have to use a blade to solve problems that the tongue can solve, like the terror believers."

"But sir... this is too risky. And, you know, there are a lot more troops in this city than we do."

"Yes, it's because of this that I feel the need to go in."

"You don't think there is a chance of winning the battle, so you have to negotiate to solve the problem?"

"I think this matter itself implies that I can go in." Ash Rufate replied. "Why is a general who has an absolute advantage, the first reaction is to invite me to talk, and not go out of the city to set up a formation and take the initiative to fight?"

"He wants to win more easily. He set up a formation to face the battle. Although he has a greater chance of winning, there are still risks after all. But as long as he can catch you, he will not even have a little risk."

"Then why did he think I was so stupid? He walked in and was arrested or killed by him."

"Because that's a business without capital! Even if you refuse, he won't lose anything."

"No, he has paid a loss," said Ash Rufate. "He has retracted all his troops back to the city, which is a loss in itself, which means...he gave up everything outside except the city itself. Farmland, ranch, mine caves, etc. Give up all this just for a scam with almost no chance of success... It's really not worth it. Remember the news we got from the previous tribe?"

"Well, they said that the Chaos Lord Astiana was brave and good at fighting. Although he believed in the Lord of Clever, he was good at charging. He had previously seized the City of Dangerous Peak by virtue of his courage rather than his strategy."

"Yes, brave. But why is this brave Chaos Lord hiding in the city and relying on the city wall to protect himself now in the face of a much weaker enemy?"

"A trap?" Tarek answered hesitantly.

"A Chaos Lord will not set such stupid traps." Ashurufate replied. "What must have happened in the city... something we don't know. I have some guesses, but there is no evidence yet. Even so, I think the chance of entering the city is greater than the danger. Rafinia, we should leave." Ashurufate faced Tarek again. "It's rare that I saw a city in the Chaos Realm. If I don't see it well, I'm missing this opportunity."

"Are you going with Rafinia? Or change a few entourages...a few guards are more suitable?"

"What are you doing with guards? Even if I bring a hundred people... can I use a hundred men to deal with fifty thousand enemies?"

"But she will become your burden." When he said this, Tarik glanced at the woman. But Rafinia didn't seem to hear what he said at all. "If there is any conflict in the city, you can still find a way to escape alone, but with her..."

"I will not be the drag of my master." Rafinia replied immediately. Maybe it was her bloodline, maybe her childhood life, which made the girl look like a female slave. She was very arrogant, like any beautiful girl, high above, with a hint of contempt on the corner of her mouth. Only when she looked at Ashu Rufate, this ray of contempt would disappear. Moreover, if Tarik was right, there was never Rafinia in Ashu Rufate's eyes, but Rafinia's eyes were always on Ashu Rufate. This was an intuition that could only be understood but not expressed, and could not be explained - because from an objective perspective, there was no factual evidence to prove this.

"Take a drag over, at least it will make me harmless." Ashu Rufate said. "Let's go."

The process of entering the city was unstoppable. After confirming that there were only two people, Asu Ruffat and Rafinia, the people in the city opened the door. A large group of soldiers - mixed with several wizards - surrounded them into the city. Asu Ruffat unexpectedly discovered that the city's gate was also imitated in the south, and it was a classic hanging gate.

However, if he wanted to see this rare city in detail, his plan was at least not successful. Because before he even had time to look at the streets, he was surrounded by soldiers with wary faces around him and were taken to the central castle.

After a long and tide, Ashu Rufate entered a room. It was a conference room. There was only a large table with two chairs in the huge room. A man wearing a full set of delicate and exquisite chaos armor and not even taking off his helmet sat on a chair, looking coldly at Ashu Rufate walking in.

No need for anything else. Both sides confirmed the other's identity by just seeing the Chaos Armor on the other side. However, in order to show their respect, Astiana's helmet was not wearing a helmet, while Astiana's helmet tightly covered his entire face. Through the "T"-shaped opening, he could only see his cold eyes.

Astiana made a "Please sit" gesture. At the same time, he made a "Go out" gesture to the soldiers who followed in.

Asu Rufat came to Astiana and sat down, Rafinia stood behind Astiana, perhaps because she was able to see that she was a woman with little combat power, neither Astiana nor his men cared about her.

"Maybe I should say welcome, young people from afar." Astiana spoke slowly. "It is said that you are favored by the Lord of Deceit and favored by the Prince of Funny. But I promise you that you will not have anything to think of here. This is mine, and my power controls this place. Leave as fast as possible, otherwise you will regret it."

"I have no interest in your city...." said Ashu Rufate. "Maybe you know, maybe you heard that I was just passing here. The gods guided me in the direction of my progress, and this is far from my end."

I don't know if this sentence had an impact, Astiana's eyes left Ashrufate and stayed on Rafinia. As mentioned earlier, Rafinia is a very beautiful girl, and unlike ordinary timid female slaves, she is a bit arrogant. But even so, Rafinia's identity was still seen through by the other party at a glance.

"Your slave girl is very good." Astiana suddenly changed the topic. "It's just a little bit different."

"Do you think my female slave should have a collar around her neck?" Ashu Rufat smiled. "Many people have this prejudice against the believers of Prince Huanyu... We think that we are overly lustful, but if you really want to see it, I don't mind letting you see it."

"hehe……"

"Look, when a person is older, he will tend to circle around in various actions. He will not be troublesome to say some words that are indifferent to the topic."

Astiana smiled dryly. "Well, then let's get back to the point if we don't talk nonsense."

"Get back to the point," Ashrufati nodded. "Actually, my purpose is very simple. I need soldiers and supplies, and intelligence. I want to go east. It is said that it is the realm of the father of the plague, and I know nothing about it. It is said that you and the neighbors in the east who worship the father of the plague... are very unhappy. You must have a lot of knowledge about them."

"Why... why do you make such a request?"

"In the name of God? Well, I know that such words are not convincing. It's okay to bluff ordinary people, but it's definitely not enough to convince you. Then let's tell the truth, because I can protect you."

A fierce light suddenly appeared in Astiana's eyes. Although the helmet completely covered his face, this kind of gaze alone reminded people of his desire to swallow Ash Rufate alive.
