Chapter 34: Cannon Fodder

Aldric also looked at the Demon Horse, quite intensely as he wanted to hear the idea as soon as possible.

"We can go back to the city and kidnap the city's ruling family. I'm sure he'll surrender if we do this," said the Demon Horse.

"This is a very good idea!" The Dead Fish responded instantly. His eyes seemed to glow.

"With the city lord out, kidnapping his family won't be difficult," he said.

"Boss, let's do it," he added as he looked at Aldric.

From the looks of it, this was the only solution.

However, Aldric wasn't sure if the time they needed was enough as the time it would take for the city lord to kill his clone would probably be faster.

However, he got an idea as he thought about it.

"I leave this task to you two. For now I need to help my clone add the city lord," he said.

If he and his clone worked together, then he could hold the city lord for longer.

Hearing his words, the two men seemed to become hesitant.

Perhaps they were worried if Aldric suddenly told the city lord about this when they arrived in the city.

The city lord would be so worried about his family that he would return to the city first. At that time, Aldric could take the opportunity to escape alone.

"Hurry up and go!" When they hesitated, Aldric suddenly gave an order in a high tone.

They could only roll their eyes.

Since he gave the order, they could only leave reluctantly, having to refrain from getting angry because Aldric had something that could bring them more harm.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

They moved towards the city at high speed without the city lord noticing as he was already quite far away from their location.

Aldric did not move immediately, he waited for a while, waiting for the two raiders to get further away. Only then did he lunge towards the middle-aged man with the giant body.

Even though he was far away from his location, he could still see his striking figure.

When he approached him, only then did he realize his arrival.

Whether it was because he was too vigilant, he instantly knitted his brows when he saw that he was alone.

"Where are they?" The city lord couldn't help but ask him with cold eyes, clearly he suspected something with the departure of the two robbers.

After all, they were two people he could not forget.

Even if he was only focused on Aldric, he kept remembering them.

"They will kidnap your wife and child in the city," Aldric replied, not hiding this.

He thought the sooner they left the better. Hence, he told the lord of the city this, hoping that he would pursue the two raiders.

If it was only them who suffered the disaster, he did not care at all.

Their favor could be forgotten considering he had a clone now. That was a better favor.

"What?" The city lord looked extremely shocked at his answer.

His eyes looked like he was losing his mind.

"They really have some nerve, I'll definitely kill them!" he said with a clear tone of anger.

After saying that, he jumped to the side, then started running towards the city with his huge body.

Aldric deliberately did not make his black hole not follow him or he still would not have been able to run.

As for himself, he ran in the opposite direction at high speed with his clone.

By the time he was far enough away, he was sure the city lord wouldn't be able to look for him anymore.

Meanwhile, the Dead Fish and the Demon Horse still continued to run towards the city, occasionally glancing back.

"I don't know why I have a bad feeling," said the Demon Horse.

Dead Fish was silent. He himself also had the same feeling.

Ever since the Demon Horse spoke, he had been staring back more often.

Only moments after that, his heart thumped suddenly.

This was because he suddenly saw the head of the city lord appear above the 20-meter-tall trees.

His head could appear there because his body was taller than the trees.

"Bastard, that boy made us as sacrifices, this is because of your stupid idea," said the Dead Fish, full of anger, also cursing the Demon Horse because he had the idea of kidnapping the city's ruling family.

"Why are you blaming me?" The Demon Horse looked offended at being blamed.

"Think of what we should do to escape now," replied the Dead Fish.

"What else can we do. We have to go into the city and wreak havoc."

That was the only way the Demon Horse could think of.

There would be so many people in the city. They could create chaos to get the attention of the city's rulers.

If there was a chance, they just needed to take off their masks and robes and pretend to be ordinary people as usual.

***

Aldric did not think about the fate of the two robbers.

They seemed to have disappeared from his memory.

That they could lure away the city lord was his good fortune.

He stopped beside the river that led towards Spring Hill, throwing himself into the river but not into the water.

He stood on the rocks in the river together with his clone.

The sensation of having two bodies was still strange to him, especially when he looked at each other with his own clone, he felt funny.

"This clone should have a different appearance," he said.

He put on a wig that was a head of hair, put on a mustache, and then made lines that resembled cat whiskers on his clone's cheeks with paint.

All these items he found in the Storage Artifacts belonging to the two robbers.

What was actually funny was that the most items in their Storage Artifacts were items for disguise.

It seemed that they liked to change their appearance in their daily activities so they bought a lot of such items.

In addition to putting on a fake mustache, Aldric also put a fake thick beard on the clone. He even placed a large sword on his back, similar to Eliot.
