Chapter 475: Siege
Han Yun stopped the bleeding and healed the injuries of the two captives, and then Bai Ye took them away.
Everyone knows that these two people fall into the hands of the angry Bai Ye, and there must be only one result.
The high priest Lin Jian also hurriedly led people to come, and he had already rushed into the temple to preside over the Hanukkah activities in the outer hall open to the outside of the temple. However, Bai Ye's second spiritual power pressure came, which made him feel relieved, and he turned his head back to finish all the activities of Hanukkah, and then returned to the temple to check the situation.
Knowing that someone was ambushing Bai Ye from inside and outside, Lin Jian immediately made the same judgment as Jacques, this matter could not end here.
So Lin Jian immediately arranged for people to confirm the situation in various places, notified the Zhenguo and Shenxiang armies in various places, maintained combat readiness, and wrote a letter about what happened in Royol, and arranged for the clipper ship to be sent directly to Tavaré.
In his opinion, the biggest possibility is that the Stuarts are ready to fight back, and the target is the central region of the New World that has been snatched away by the Bright God Kingdom, and the assassination of the Light God is only one of the links, of course, it may also be the most important link.
Who would have thought that Stuart's spies would be planning a shadow against the Kingdom of Light ten years ago, and it was their handiwork that Lychard could be sent back to the Kingdom of Light.
Jacques remembered that when he first passed by the Jinyin Mountain Range, it was said that the Mandrill Clan had the use of the Four Elements Source Energy Technique, but it was not the two guys of the Ugin Clan, and everyone didn't care much about it at the time, but now that I think about it, maybe it is also inseparable from the Western Sahara Empire, and King Kui has been against the Ugin Clan because of their bewitchment.
The eight grandmasters quietly infiltrated and sounded a wake-up call to the upper echelons of the Bright God Kingdom, and both natural barriers and artificial blockades needed to be checked.
Jacques stayed in Royol for another three days, waiting for news from the cities on his home turf.
In Royol, he can't contact Fat Orange directly, so once something happens, he needs to move to Fat Orange's ruins as soon as possible to inform the real boss of the Kingdom of Light.
What Lin Jian, Jacques, and Bai Jia feared still happened, and by the evening of the third day, the messengers sent to the northern border cities still returned.
It is possible that the initial inference was wrong, and the enemy target was the native of the Kingdom of Light.
Despite the telegram feedback, everything was fine on the northern border.
But Jacques believed that the telegram could not be trusted, and that if someone cracked the telegram code and cut off the communication line, they would be able to reply to the telegram in disguise.
Lin Jian felt that it was unlikely, but Bai Jia was very much in agreement, she was very distrustful of trains, steam cars, telegraphs, and even muskets and artillery.
If the messenger does not return, it will be difficult for everyone to feel at ease.
In the past three days, several formation nodes hidden under the blown up temple have been raised one after another, but unfortunately Jacques and the others are in a state of half-understanding of the formation, and they can't see the characteristics and operation of this formation at all, so they can only put it away and wait for the opportunity to hand it over to Hei Ye to study.
There was no breakthrough in the interrogation of the two captives, and Director Michelle went on a nervous breakdown without providing any useful information. Although Bai Ye's spiritual invasion methods can dig out the secrets of the other party's heart, if the other party resists with a strong will, it will directly cause brain damage, and then nothing can be gained.
The female grandmaster who had her arms cut off was just acting on orders, but her identity alerted Jacques that she was actually the deputy captain of the city guard in the capital of Saxony, and was she involved in the assassination of François back then?
It is a pity that François was plotted to die in the end, is this the fate of the reformed royals? It seems that this is not an isolated case in history, the most recent being Prince Antony, who disappeared into the jungle with his loyal army.
Jacques is not sad for the imperial royal family, his current position is completely on the side of the Bright Divine Kingdom, and even looks at the Bright Divine Kingdom as a fat orange from time to time, could it be that this is the sympathy generated by the partial fusion of souls?
On the third night, without waiting for a reply from the messenger sent out, the chaos outside the city would speak for itself. Standby station
Fortunately, the Shenxiangwei made preparations for war in accordance with the instructions in advance, not only closed the city gates, carefully checked the people coming and going, but also strengthened the night shift, and miraculously stopped a group of grandmasters who forcibly broke into Royol.
The source energy fluctuations of these flying guys exposed their whereabouts, most of them were forced to descend outside the city by strong crossbows, and the other part was immediately discovered by the people's ocean, most of them were hard to lower their fists and countless hands, and after being surrounded, they were either killed on the spot, or captured, and only a few people came in and successfully withdrew.
When it was dawn the next day, standing on a higher vantage point in the city of Royol, you could see the dense sea of people outside the city.
The city of Royol was surrounded.
Jacques and Lin Jian stood at the top of the main hall that had been blown up, and they could see the neat army outside the city.
As far as the eye can see, there are no less than 300,000 people, which is more than the current population of the city of Royol!
How did so many troops enter the Kingdom of Light?
There should be only one place, and it is considered a desert of death that humans cannot cross.
What the expeditionary forces of Western Sahara were able to accomplish back then, there is no reason why his descendants could not do it.
The difficulty lies in how to find a safe way, according to the habits of sand scorpions, after living in an area for a period of time, go back to a new territory to earn a living, and wait for more than ten days before returning to the old place.
If you're lucky, you'll be able to connect a few sand scorpion colonies of abandoned territory, and you'll be able to find your way.
It's just that this kind of temptation depends on people to test, and after the test is successful, you must act immediately, otherwise there will be nowhere to avoid once you catch up with the sand scorpion swarm and return.
Encountering a sand scorpion will attract all sand scorpions farther away, for an endless period of time, until one side is eliminated or retreats.
With such a large number of people, it is really difficult to pass safely, and the more people there are, the larger the safe area needed.
300,000 people, the difficulty of passing through the Desert of Death can be imagined.
Then again, how did the Western Saharan Empire gather so many troops?
There are only 90,000 men in the Nine Legions, and maybe there are troops from Duchyes such as Stuart, so who is here? Or maybe everyone is here!
Bai Ye also came to Jacques's side, she knew a little more than Lin Jian, and understood that only Jacques could inform Fat Orange Royol of what happened the fastest.
Since being trapped by the formation that day, Bai Ye has also become cautious, and he does not dare to rush out at will to test the other party.
It is difficult to guarantee whether the other party still has the kind of formation that can trap the beastmaster, and it is even possible that this formation has more than one in the opponent's hand at this time.
The situation that Royol encountered this time was similar to the situation when Western Sahara attacked here a thousand years ago, but it was different, and the Beastmaster-level combat power could not control the entire war.
Bai Ye didn't say it, Jacques also understood that Bai Ye needed Fat Orange here now, she really couldn't protect the city alone, she would charge into battle under the command of Fat Orange, but she was worried that she couldn't afford to save the Light God Kingdom.
