Section 12
The gods will bless the city, and the spirits of the ancestors will bless their descendants!" Magnab Tano bit down the sleeve of her left arm, revealing the circle carved on her left arm. The next moment, his entire right arm flickered and was wrapped in red firelight, and the short sword in his hand suddenly glowed as if it had just been fished out of the furnace.
"When" the brilliant dagger slashed the undead who rushed up in half with ease, and the flames attached to the neat incision instantly turned the corpse into a pile of black coal.
The surrounding councillors who were armed and willing to stay, as well as the surviving armored warriors, also shouted and attacked the undead who rushed up.
"Let's put an end to this farce. Penny's staff was raised high again, and circles of magic circles continued to emerge around the staff in her hand. After a few seconds, the walls, floors, ceilings, conference tables, and messy stools of the hall seemed to be filled with her cast.
"You go too!" the two councillors rushed to McGona's side, "The people of this city need to know the truth...", the two guarded McGonagall Tano behind them, "Don't let this madman fool the people of Sukh City!"
McGonault was willing to go, but as soon as he wanted to speak, he felt a huge force in his chest, and then his body flew backwards towards the gate uncontrollably, and the moment his back was hit and his spine was painful, he had already fallen to the cold ground of the corridor outside.
"Click"
The terrible voice sounded again, and before McGonault looked up, the scuffling council hall immediately became extremely dark, and the spacious room was covered in countless thorns in the blink of an eye.
Blood splattered from the hall into the hallway outside, and McGonault felt a heat on her face, followed by a fishy smell that shimmered from the doorway under the shaking fire of the hallway.
"Stampede" in McGonault's daze, and heavy footsteps sounded from the hallway leading to the rooftop defense.
"I need to get out of here. McGonagall Tano subconsciously thought of this idea, and with the pain in her spine and the burning sensation in her left arm, she staggered to her feet and jumped from the window next to her as she looked at the black-armored guard rushing towards her.
The thorns in the hall were peeling off like weathered stones as they had been at the beginning, and the hall, which had been unusually noisy a moment before, was now so quiet that you could hear the wind flowing through the windows.
The originally luxurious hall was now full of traces of the aftermath of the killing, the walls and floors were covered with bloodstains, countless broken wall stumps and disgusting internal organs were all over the ground.
"Is this hell?" Although Penny had experienced the battlefield and seen the undead army wreaking havoc, what was unfolding before her eyes at the moment still made her tumble with a low stomach.
Penny took a few steps, the viscous feeling of blood on the soles of her feet and the characteristic echo of this quiet environment made her stop again, "Burn everything here." Her voice trembled slightly at the moment, and deep down there was only faith and reality in her heart making a final struggle.
"Yes, sir. The sound came from a dark corner behind Penny, and with the rustle of a cellar rat running, a miserable white middle-aged man's face emerged.
Middle-aged people look like dead people, but they only look like them.
"It's been a long time since I've seen the sun, and it really makes me... Excited. "He's the middle-aged man who leads Penny in the underground lab, and he calls himself Glenn. As he spoke, he walked over to Penny's side and said respectfully, "My lord, please return my staff." ”
"There's nothing to ask for from you. Penny gave me back the staff she had used to disguise.
In fact, the series of methods just now was not used by Penny, after all, the construction of the magic circle is not something that can be learned and used in just a few days. The only way to quickly use powerful power is to change soul memories like Karen-Sibo and Malek, but what is the difference between that and becoming an undead?
Today, Penny has gone crazy like a gambler who has lost everything, but she still keeps the last of her senses.
...
At the entrance of the Plaza de la Victory commercial street, Woz Pedro and his young son got out of the carriage and walked into the café that leaned on the street entrance.
Like the other shops on this street, the café does not have a single customer.
"Hey, sir..."
"This is not the time for small talk, Your Excellency... I need to get out of town, and I can pay anything for it. Woz-Pedro looked solemnly at the attendant at the café, although he had a way to get out of the city, but after leaving the city, he had nowhere to go.
"I want to know what's going on!"
"Penny Danediv has gone mad and the city will soon turn into hell because of her madness. ”
...
The camp area of the Krurian Kingdom garrison outside the eastern wall of Suke City, after half a month of repair, the original humble garrison has now become a well-equipped stronghold fortress group.
The bombardment of the "boom" artillery began at dawn every morning, and each time it drew loud curses from the soldiers who had just finished their vigil and were about to rest, accompanied by the cheers of many soldiers watching the show.
In the command hall of the Chinese military barracks, the secretary general of the temporary military newspaper, Lang Ma, is making a routine report every morning:
"The Knight of Wren sent back news last night that they have now arrived in the southwest area of Suke City, where many villages and towns are willing to openly support the kingdom's rule and provide logistical support to our troops..."
"In addition, Mondstadt-Jean has indicated that it will take at least a month to capture the city of Napros, and that General Dory, the commander of Feld's command, who is on the left side of Mondstadt-Jean, has led his troops to our aid. ”
"Has the Jean family fallen to this extent?" said Sir Nut, the commander of the artillery, frowning, "and can't even take a city that has been built for less than two years?"
"The talented nobles of the Jean family had been wiped out in the previous 'Patricide War', and I heard that most of Duke Jean's troops were recruits, and generally no more than fifteen years old. Goblin Commander Kanai, like the other goblins, likes to look up information to improve his intelligence, "Over 90 percent of the wars fought against Suke City in the last three years, Fort Norma have ended in failure. ”
"They're afraid of failing again. Kanai shrugged, "People who are afraid of failure become so cautious that they forget how to move forward." ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't have Mondstadt-Jean's army. Pei Di's casual tone indicated that he didn't take this matter to heart, "Let the surrendered villages and towns send their representatives, and I will personally hold a banquet for them... It's in this camp. He is more concerned about the villages and towns in the southwest.
"What's been the reaction within Suke City lately?" asked Anse Zola.
Wolf Ma subconsciously replied: "There is no reaction, and now even the defenders of the city wall are accustomed to our shelling, and many citizens in the city even regard our shelling as their rooster crows when they get up." ”
"What a rooster crow!" said Kanai, an exaggerated expression.
Ans-Zora nodded lightly and was speechless, and the king standing in the middle of the crowd didn't seem to hear Wolfma's report, he lowered his head and looked at the direction of Tyre in the corner of the map, "The siege of Tyre must have begun. ”
"Yes!"
Pedi leaned on the edge of the table where the map was placed, staring at the battle situation in the entire Suker Plains on the map for a while, and then looked around to the left and right, "It's time..."
The "creak" log patchwork door was pushed open, and it was Minnie Vatu, who was in charge of military intelligence.
Minnie Wattle looked tired, her hair was messy and she felt terrible. There were only a handful of high-level commanders in the command hall at the moment, so Minnie Vatu's appearance was so abrupt that everyone had their eyes on her at the same time.
"I'm sorry... But Your Majesty, you have granted me the right to meet at any time. Minnie Vatu knew she might have slammed into an important meeting, but she had her own reasons.
"Looks like you've brought us an important piece of information. Pedi didn't care about her rudeness.
"Are you sure you want to report here?" Minnie Vatu said bluntly, and then looked left and right at everyone present.
"If it's information about Suke City..."Pedi had long been accustomed to Minnie Vatu's directness.
"Woz Pedro, Her Royal Highness Penny's retainer, is right outside the door, and perhaps you can ask him some questions yourself. ”
...
After much deliberation, Pedi left only his secretary-general, Wolfma, and allies Anse Zora and Woz Pedro to participate in the meeting, as well as Minnie Vatu, who is a skilled intelligence officer.
While in Sukh City, Pedi met Woz Pedro more than once, and his perception of Woz Pedro at that time was that he was a very talkative person and had a great deal of knowledge about art, masterpieces, history, military affairs, and sometimes even participating in discussions between magicians.
At that time, Pedi only felt that Woz Pedro was a very powerful person, and at the same time disgusting, and Pedi hated this person's smile at the time, because he felt that the other person's smile was a fake smile that seemed very sincere.
Woz Pedro was also feeling the magic of fate, as the five great military protectors of the empire, maybe others would care about the so-called 'second son of the prime minister', but he never paid attention, at least before the outbreak of the orc war.
But now, the 'second son of the prime minister', whom he has never looked favorably, needs to let himself offer the most sincere etiquette and humbly shout 'His Majesty'.
"Your Majesty!" Woz-Pedro, though his heart was full of thoughts, did not hesitate in the slightest, he prostrate on the cold floor, his face pressed to the ground, and shouted in his mouth, "The Pedro family offers you the most sincere wishes. ”
"Marquis of Woz-Pedro," said Pedi with a smile and the title of 'Marquis', "I grew up listening to the stories of your ancestors, and I'm glad to see you here, you... You can stand up and talk to me. ”
Woz-Pedro heard the young king's words like a handout, and an indescribable bitterness immediately filled his chest. At this moment, he suddenly found that he had spent almost all of his life dealing with the people of the Reagan family, before Nick Reagan, then the madwoman in Suke City, and in the future, he might be the king in front of him.
"My father once said you were the wisest nobleman he had ever met. Pedi pointed to the chair across from him, "We can sit down and talk, you look like... Tired. ”
"Compared to Duke Nick's intelligence, my ideas are at best clever, and many of my decisions have been proven wrong because... I can't put aside my own interests and consider the overall situation in the Ellan continent like Duke Nick did. "Woz Pedro was humble at first.
Pei Di smiled noncommittally, "Aren't you doing a good job now, I believe that you walked into this room to consider the overall situation in the Ella Continent..."
"Yes!" Woz-Pedro said, the modesty on his face immediately vanished, and a little fear flashed in his little wrinkled eyes, "Your Majesty, your sister is no longer the kind young lady she used to be, she can now walk in blood as if she were in her own back garden. ”
"What else?" Pedi didn't comment.
"You should probably take control of Suke City as soon as possible, or it won't be long before the city becomes like Karon. Woz-Pedro looked serious, "Penny... Her Highness has been tempted by death, and she is spreading the faith of death in the city. ”
Pedi frowned and glanced at Anse Zora beside him, both of whom had deep fear in their eyes.
"Are you sure?" said Pedy, taking a deep breath.
"I've seen it with my own eyes, but... One thing is very strange. Woz-Pedro was silent for two seconds as he organized the wording, "I'm sure Her Highness Penny is using evil powers, but strangely... Her Highness Penny is not immortal, and the evil energy they use requires the use of magic circles. ”
"Are you sure?" said Pedi, repeating what he had just said, only this time he subconsciously raised his voice.
"I was there, and Her Highness Penny used her magic to instantly bring a group of soldiers back into the arms of the Goddess. ”
"The magic circle is not something that can be mastered simply, without more than three years of study, even the most talented person will not be able to sketch the magic circle..."
"But I saw it clearly!"
"Perhaps... You should have a good chat with Archmage Leah, there is research going on at the Elok City National Laboratory. Pedi looked at Woz Pedro, "Now, we need detailed information on the defenders of Suk City, if your intelligence is detailed enough, maybe we can launch an attack on Suke City in advance." ”
"Of course, if that can stop Suke City from turning into a hell like Karen Collar, I'd gladly do it. Woz Pedro agreed without hesitation.
"I heard that Fipert Bob is presiding over the situation in Tyre right now?"
Woz Pedro was stunned, "He won't necessarily listen to me, but I'm willing to give it a try, after all, His Royal Highness Penny doesn't have any value to follow now." ”
