City of chaos.
The majestic city gate.
The noise from the fight just now attracted a large crowd.
The dense crowds of people surrounded the place, making it impossible to get in or out.
As for the sudden appearance of the two lords, everyone present, whether they were civilians or merchants, or generals and soldiers, were all surprised.
Because Bai Lin's abnormal behavior at this moment made it impossible for them to be sure who the real lord was.
"My question is simple."
Bai Lin asked solemnly, "May I know what you said when I left that night when the Lord was assassinated?"
After saying that, Bai Lin stared at Lin Hao's eyes, trying to see the slightest change in the other's eyes.
Hearing this, Lin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and as he searched his memory, the scene of that night began to emerge in his mind.
From a certain perspective, if the lord dies, the person who can gain the greatest benefit from it will inevitably be the most suspicious.
As the city's chief steward, Bai Lin is equivalent to the second-in-command with power, so it is inevitable that he will be suspected.
That night, after the assassin was killed by Lin Hao, Bai Lin hurried over to report on the military situation.
In the memory, Bai Lin was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and said calmly, "My Lord, I have no other intentions."
Lin Hao replied calmly: "I believe you."
It was from that moment that the trust between the two reached a high level of tacit understanding.
"Do you know?"
Seeing that Lin Hao remained silent, Bai Lin patiently asked again.
Lin Hao raised his eyes, met Bai Lin's gaze, and said calmly: "I believe you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lin's reaction was just like that night, his hanging hands trembled slightly.
At this moment, all the suspicion in his heart towards Lin Hao disappeared in an instant.
"Lord, it is you!"
Bai Lin's eyes flickered as he stared at Lin Hao excitedly.
Immediately, he bent down slightly and bowed to Lin Hao in front of many people.
"this……"
Seeing this scene, generals such as Luohan of the city defense army were stunned for a moment.
Could this mysterious guy with unknown origins, who pretended to be the lord, be the real lord? !
Thinking of this, they turned their suspicious eyes to the black-clad 'fake lord' on the city wall.
"To judge the lord's identity based on just one verbal statement, don't you think it's a bit hasty?"
The fake lord's eyes were gloomy, and he said in a lukewarm tone: "Or maybe, Manager Bai has actually colluded with this person and wants to seize power and usurp the throne!"
Hearing this, Luohan and others' expressions changed.
But their originally suspicious expressions suddenly turned serious.
"Butler Bai, I also think your statement is indeed hasty!"
Luo Han said in a low voice: "We must use some evidence that everyone knows to prove the Lord."
"Rohan, you idiot!"
Bai Lin's eyes were filled with anger, and he rebuked: "After being with the Lord for so long, don't you know who is the real one?!"
Luohan's face turned stern, and he said calmly: "Everything you feel is false, I only look at the evidence!"
His attitude was obviously very firm.
After all, the lord’s identity, whether real or fake, is not a joke.
He didn't want to end up finding out that the lord he was loyal to was just an impostor!
"No defense."
Lin Hao waved his hand to stop Bai Lin who was about to continue arguing.
He actually didn't blame anyone for this.
On the contrary, I think Luohan's rigorous behavior is very desirable, as it can prevent the emergence of traitors in the city and the usurpation of power.
Although he could use force to directly resolve the issue of the true and false lord this time.
However, even if these two impostors were driven away, there would still be a certain degree of distrust towards this group of generals.
The only solution is to use evidence to prove his true identity and then deal with them!
"Bai Lin, just do as he says."
Lin Hao had a calm expression on his face. He immediately looked up at the 'fake lord' on the city wall and said coldly: "I want to see how many cards you know I have."
Bai Lin nodded seriously.
His IQ was not low and he quickly understood Lin Hao's intention.
Bai Lin hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Hao and asked, "Do you own an ant king?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces were slightly stunned, and they immediately agreed with Bai Lin's words.
As everyone knows, the last time the Xingyu Empire's army invaded, the victory in the first battle was achieved by relying on the giant ant king, who summoned a large army of ants and defeated the enemy.
In other words, even if the lord did not reveal his true face, the powerful ant king could symbolize his identity.
Lin Hao didn't say much, his mind moved slightly, and he directly summoned the Ant King from the system pet backpack.
However, in order to conceal their presence from the public, the designated location for their appearance was underground.
Immediately, countless eyes present noticed that the ground in front of Lin Hao suddenly moved rapidly.
laugh--!
Immediately afterwards, a giant fire ant covered in flaming armor suddenly jumped out from the ground.
The surrounding temperature also gradually became hotter because of its appearance.
"Yes, this is the Lord's fire ant!"
When they saw the ferocious appearance of the Ant King, Luohan and others' eyes lit up and they recognized it immediately.
"And you?"
A sneer appeared on Bai Lin's lips, and he looked up at the fake lord on the city wall.
Now, let’s see how you disguise yourself!
The fake lord narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say any more nonsense and waved his hand.
whoosh!
As the light surged, a giant fire ant suddenly appeared.
I saw it surrounded by flames all over, and its thick shell looked like armor, with a hard metallic luster.
"this……"
Seeing this, Bai Lin's face changed slightly, and a hint of disbelief flashed across his eyes.
Obviously, he didn't expect that this impostor actually had the same pet as the lord.
Judging from its shape, it is almost exactly the same as Lin Hao's Ant King!
Looking at the fake 'Ant King', Lin Hao's eyes darkened slightly.
This shows that these two guys undoubtedly came prepared.
As his mental power extended out, Lin Hao clearly sensed that this high-imitation 'Ant King' did not have the slightest breath of life.
"Beast Puppet!"
Lin Hao's heart trembled slightly, and he immediately saw the clue.
Only this method can make them so similar in appearance.
Otherwise, without the animal evolution system, how can we breed such unique pets?
Lin Hao was not too surprised about this.
After all, in the previous two battles, the Ant King was an exposed pet.
If you want to imitate it, it is not difficult.
"The lord's pet not only has the ability to clone itself, but can also summon a swarm of fire ants."
Bai Lin's eyes were solemn as he continued to add evidence.
"Ant King, show off."
Lin Hao's mind moved slightly, and he secretly gave an order.
There are two types of pet skills for the Ant King.
They are 'Ant Beast Summoning' and 'Hokage Clone' respectively.
Then, fire patterns surged all over the Ant King's body, and he instantly split into more than a hundred identical ant beasts.
However, at this time, the beast puppet 'Ant King' was also surrounded by flames, and suddenly transformed into a series of ant beast clones.
The number of both sides is almost the same.
Lin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that this counterfeit had even copied such skills.
Next, it was the Ant Beast summons.
