"He and I already knew each other. We got drunk together countless times. I just promised to treat him to a drink tonight, but now he is just a cold corpse."
This was the first time Zhang Mu had seen such a sad emotion in Hachimu. He did not say anything, but just listened quietly as he knelt beside Badar and spoke Mongolian, which he could not understand.
However, the ignorant people outside did not stop attacking just because of the appearance of one more person. In their hearts, anyone who was with the pagans should be killed, so they dared to attack Hachimu, not to mention this young man they had never seen before.
However, Zhang Mu's second-level mental shield could not be broken by these tickling attacks. As long as he could withstand the first wave of attacks, his subsequent mental power would be endless and he would not suffer any damage at all.
Mental power is invisible. From the outside, all attacks disappeared in front of this strange mysterious young man, as if they were swallowed by an invisible beast. This is more terrifying than being directly crushed by visible attacks.
The more mysterious something was, the more afraid people were. They looked at each other and stopped what they were doing. The crowd instantly quieted down, but because the bodies of the pagans had not yet been cremated according to God's will, they were unwilling to leave. However, they were also unwilling to attack because of the strength that Zhang Mu had revealed.
The square in front of the Great Temple fell into an eerie silence. Even those who were causing trouble did not dare to speak. They did not know where Zhang Mu came from and were waiting for instructions from their superiors, so they did not dare to act rashly.
It was quiet inside the mental shield. Hachimu gradually came out of his grief. The calm Hachimu was extremely terrifying. He picked up the giant axe on the ground and stood up suddenly.
"He was fine just now, why is he now..."
Seeing that Hachimu's emotions had stabilized, Yuan Rui wanted to ask him clearly. He was a living person just now. Yuan Rui was very impressed by this Mongolian man who had let her enter the city.
Zhang Mu glanced at her, signaling her not to ask anymore. Yuan Rui stopped talking when she saw Zhang Mu's gaze.
"Brother Hachimu, how do you want to solve this?"
Needless to say, Zhang Mu saw from Badar's death and Hachimu's reaction that this matter must be related to him. The only intersection between Badar and himself was
I put myself in the capital, but now I am dead.
The calm Ha Chimu was extremely terrifying. He said slowly, "There is no other way. These people attacked me with ordinary people, thinking that I would fight back. If you, brother Zhang Mu, hadn't arrived in time, I would have been tricked. It is true that after my second-level ability is activated, my emotions are easily affected."
"Who is the mastermind behind this?"
"I don't know. It could be Xiao Nan, or someone from the Caravan Alliance. It could also be the four war cavalry leaders of this capital, who have teamed up with the Caravan Alliance. Their target is me, Ha Chimu, and also you, brother Zhang Mu.
By the way, brother Zhang Mu, you saw An Ge just now, right? He is a member of the caravan alliance with the same status as you. "
Ha Chimu glanced at the densely packed crowd outside the ravine, trying to find any clues, but there were too many people, and he couldn't find the person who had just instigated the people to fan the flames.
Zhang Mu nodded slightly and said, "Well, that person's strength should have just been promoted to the second level not long ago. Although his ability is rare, it is mainly used for auxiliary functions and is not a big threat."
Ha Chimu shook his head slowly and said, "Although this An Ge is not very strong, his ability is extremely strange. However, he is also the weakest in the entire caravan alliance. He has appeared in public the most times and is responsible for many external affairs. Brother Zhang Mu, don't underestimate this caravan alliance."
"Well, I know that this caravan alliance has big problems."
At this moment, Zhang Mu suddenly turned his gaze to the southeast and whispered, "Someone is coming."
"It was Xiao Nan's aura. He didn't hide it at all and rushed over so boldly. I don't know what role he played in this matter."
Ha Chimu also looked in the direction of Zhang Mu's gaze and spoke slowly.
"You'll find out soon."
A team of fully armed swordsman and axemen marched in neat steps to the front of the great temple. The crowded crowd finally made way. They were not fools. They were the sword and axe guards of City Lord Xiao Nan.
Xiao Nan is different from Ha Chimu. He is the lord of a sub-city in the capital of Hohhot. Ha Chimu has no authority, but Xiao Nan is not subject to this.
If they are not restrained, no one will come to their rescue even if they are chopped into meat paste.
When this team of swordsmen and axemen cleared the crowd to create a passage, a green figure appeared in everyone's sight.
He was dressed in a green shirt, holding a long sword at his back, and he was in surprisingly good harmony with the swordsmen and axemen beside him.
It was murderous intent. Xiao Nan's murderous intent had already merged with the murderous intent of his team of swordsmen and axemen.
Ha Chimu looked at Xiao Nan who was walking slowly in front of him. He had no other emotions. He just looked at him and said, "Xiao Nan, give me an explanation."
Xiao Nan took out the sword behind him, seemingly not hearing Hachimu's questioning. He just tapped the tip of the sword with one finger, then tilted his ear to listen to the slight sound coming from the sword.
"I have received an Epoch Order to arrest the fake Messenger of God. Badar is my subordinate. He colluded with outsiders, released prisoners privately, and threatened the safety of the capital. According to Article 1 of the Capital Criminal Law, anyone who endangers the safety of the capital will be killed without mercy!"
Xiao Nan seemed to be talking about a trivial matter, as if he was talking to his sword, or to Ha Chimu.
"Am I an outsider? Xiao Nan, you have forgotten the oath established by the Eight Riders. You do not recognize the oath of the Eight Riders, but recognize the Epoch Order of the Caravan Alliance. You have actually fallen to this level."
Hearing the oath of the Eight Riders, Xiao Nan's eyes flickered for a moment, but soon calmed down. This time, he put down his sword, looked directly at Hachimu and said, "Why bother pretending to be confused when you know the truth? The Eight Riders will soon be in name only, and I am just making some plans for the future.
Ha Akagi, the Eight Riders' Oath is over, it's over, you know that?"
Hearing Xiao Nan's clear words, Ha Chimu's voice remained unchanged, because he had already guessed that Badar's death was enough to explain a lot.
Kill Badar to serve as a warning to the monkey Hachimu.
Ha Chimu just said calmly at the end, "I will avenge Badar."
Hachimu's voice was so cold when he said this that Xiao Nan unconsciously tightened the sword in his hand.
Realizing his own gaffe, Xiao Nan said with a smile, "They will be back tomorrow, but when you lose your supplies, how much trouble can you make?"
