Chapter 124: The Steel Tower's Plea for Help
Just as Viren and the others traveled to the northern part of the Lightless Abyss to find a place to build a base for the Dragons, Lady Sigh was not having a good time.
Although they defeated the Apostles in this war, everyone knew that they would not have won this war without the participation of Viren and the dragons. And even if they won in the end, they paid a heavy price.
However, since the war has been won, it means that their tasks have been accomplished. So now that their mission has been completed, it means that they must return to the City of Armor to resume their lives.
It's just that the lady can't leave yet.
The current city of armor is in chaos, except for the steel tower and the lady of Warsaw who are still barely insisting, the management of the city of armor can be said to be in a state of complete paralysis. And in this case, Ms. Light Sigh can't go even more, even if she wants to go back to her life, she will wait until the current matter is dealt with.
It's a pity that the role that Lady Sigh can play is also limited, and she is not good at handling these government affairs at all compared to fighting. But now, Ms. Light Sigh is finally not so busy and anxious. Because while she was worrying on the city wall, several people suddenly appeared behind her.
"You're back. ”
"Yes, I figured out, we better get back here. ”
"Why? You know we're not fit to be a team here. ”
"No, we're not coming back because we want to form a team with you, but because the City of Armor is now our best bridgehead for a counteroffensive. ”
"Okay, since you're all here, we can go to Barrier I now. Lady Sigh exhaled lightly, although on the surface she was still talking to Viren and Ciel, but Lady Sigh was still happy that Viren and their presence.
Lady Sigh looked down at the city, the Tiger King and Shen Lin were decibeling to assist the Tiger King and the Warsaw Lady in dealing with the affairs of the City of Armor, and the most important thing was to stabilize the morale of the army here. While twenty dragons stationed outside the Armored City gave them a lot of self-confidence, the wounds of war were not so easy to heal. In fact, it is impossible to heal from the outside, and the only one who can heal the wounds of war in their own hearts is themselves.
"Are you sure you want to go back at this time?" Hill pointed to the numb Denoma soldiers in the city and asked, "If you want to go back to your life, at least bring the army back." But when you look at these soldiers, do you think it's right to take them back now? When the Emperor sees the state of these soldiers, do you think he will believe that you have won a battle? Especially with that knight now, do you want to exhaust her to death on the road?"
"I didn't plan to take Sir back. It's better for him to recuperate here. The lady sighed lightly and replied: "I will ask Sir to write a book and write the ins and outs of this war in it, including how you and the dragons have helped us, and I will also let Sir Scar write in it." And when the emperor saw this distraction, he would know what was really going on. ”
This is indeed a solution. But it had only been long since they had been reunited, and the lady was about to think about leaving. Although Hill didn't understand, she couldn't say anything. Just walk away quietly. And Viren, they don't have anything to say to Lady Sigh. They also dispersed.
It's the steel tower that is very enthusiastic about Viren. The steel tower is well aware that if it weren't for Viren and them, I'm afraid the City of Armor would have become a paradise for the Apostles. Moreover, there are twenty dragons brought by Viren who are guarding the outside of the Armored City. And these dragons are the greatest barrier in the City of Armor right now, which makes the Steel Tower believe that even if they face another invasion by the Great Wave of Apostles, they have the ability to defeat them.
However, he had also heard the previous information, and the entire Denoma Empire, not only the armored city, but also the city of watch in the east and the city of capital fortresses had fallen into the siege of the apostles. But judging from Ms. Sigh's performance, she doesn't seem to care about such information. This made the steel tower a little disappointed, but when you think about it, Ms. Light Sigh is not the kind of person who is good at handling political affairs, but the tiger seems to be born to be good at this.
The steel tower first placed Viren and them in a special post house in the armored city, and after dark, the steel tower quietly came to visit outside Viren's residence.
When Viren opened the door and saw that it was actually a steel tower, there was a little surprise. "Lord of the City, why are you here? ”
The steel tower gave a flattering smile that made Viren look a little hairy. As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you are either a traitor or a thief, and Viren thought to himself, is there any conspiracy in the steel tower?
It's just that the steel tower is not as evil as Viren imagined, and after closing the door of the room, the steel tower invited Viren to the upper seat, and said to Viren almost in a pleading tone: "Magician, I know, you are a very capable person. You can get the dragons, and we'll only be able to kill them. And, I heard that you were once alone ... ”
Hearing this, Viren hurriedly spread his hands: "Don't, don't, city lord, just call me Viren." I'm younger than you, so you don't have to use honorific titles on me. If there's anything you can do, just let me know. ”
The steel tower was a little squirming and said, "Mr. Viren, you also know that now our Denoma Empire is already in a dilemma both internally and externally. In addition to our current City of Armor, our other two fortresses, the City of Fortresses and the City of Watch, have also been attacked by the Apostles. However, His Majesty the Emperor has already sent most of the main force to the City of Armor to support us, so the City of Fortresses is also very dangerous now. But we don't have the strength to come to the rescue. What's more, Ms. Light Sigh doesn't seem to have this in mind. So, I beg you, if you can convince the dragons to help us. With the help of these dragons, we can easily lift the threat of a siege. ”
Viren thought about it with a blush, if what the steel tower said was true, then these apostles should have begun to launch a general attack. It's just that Viren himself is also very embarrassed, he is not familiar with those dragons, and the only familiar Nomaris and Teresa stay in the newly opened base of the dragon clan.
Looking at Viren's hesitant expression, the steel tower was anxious. If even Viren and the others didn't help themselves, then the Dnoma Empire would be finished!Besides, according to the normal marching speed, it would take several days to get from the City of Armor to the City of Barriers, let alone the City of Watch. "Mr. Viren, now we are also forced to do it! Now the entire Denoma Empire is on the verge of collapse, if the Denoma Empire dies, there will be no strength in the south of the entire continent that can compete with those apostles! If this continues, the entire continent will eventually become those apostles! Mr. Viren, the only people who can save this battle now are you and those dragons. Mr. Viren, I am not asking you to help us in the Denoma Empire, but I am asking you to help the world and not let them become colonies of the Apostles... ”
"Alright, alright!" Viren stood up and slammed the table, "I know, how could I not know?" Forget it, I'll give it a try tomorrow morning, and if it really doesn't work, we'll take the city of armor ourselves. Lord of the City, please show me the current topographical map of the Denoma Empire, I need to determine the detailed location before I can use the magic teleportation array. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll get it right away!" The steel tower was overjoyed to receive such a promise from Viren. Before Viren could react, the steel tower hurried out, and only ten minutes later, the steel tower brought back a map and placed it on the table, looking at Viren with a fanatical expression.
"Look, Mr. Viren, this is our current situation. Seeing Viren coming over, the steel tower immediately pointed at the map and said, "Sir, you can see that at present, the northeast region of our Denoma Empire has been occupied by the Apostles, which is a great loss for us. However, we reacted quickly, and relied on the three fortress cities that had been built before the war to compete with the Apostles, which are now the City of Armor, the Imperial Capital of the Fortress in the middle, and the City of Watch to the east. These three cities are at the front of the current battle line, and the three cities are horns of each other, and if one side is in danger, the other two can quickly come to support. In addition, in the rear, we also have a large number of troops who have been building new cities and patrolling the gaps between these three cities day and night, so as to avoid the infiltration of the apostles' small forces, and so far we have achieved very good results. ”
The steel tower paused here and looked at Viren, as if to determine if Viren was listening. When he found that Viren was very focused, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "But our troops are insufficient, and the quality of our individual soldiers is far inferior to that of the other party compared to the apostles, so things are still developing towards a worse and worse situation. The latest information we have so far is that, in addition to our armored city that has been relieved of the threat of the Apostles, both the Fortress City and the Watchful City are under siege by the Apostles, and there are tens of thousands of troops in each place. If the Fortress City hadn't sent troops to rescue the Armored City before, then it would still be no problem to protect itself. But with tens of thousands of troops deployed to support us, the city of the Fortress is no longer able to face such a formidable threat. And the City of Watch ... The steel tower didn't say any more, apparently he didn't have much hope for the City of Watch. "Either way, though, we're going to do our best to defend the walled city, so we have at least two more cities to support each other. It's just a pity that the city of watch and the soldiers and civilians in the interior, once the city of watch can't hold on, then we will have a large piece of land falling, hey... ”
"However, this is the result of normal development. Suddenly, the steel tower's eyes shone again, and he stared at Viren, and said fanatically: "Because, you have appeared! Mr. Viren, the appearance of the dragon clan has undoubtedly turned the tide of all this battle! And you and your companions have saved the dying armored city! To be honest, I am even more excited about your reappearance, which is a great thing for us! Because you are the second and only magician who can use space magic after that old gentleman! And you have those powerful companions! What's more, you are standing with our entire human world! Mr. Viren, even without the help of those dragons, I know that you can help us at least remove the threat of the Barrier City! The role played by those dragons is just icing on the cake! So, Mr. Viren, please help us no matter what, help us in the human world!"
"Rest assured, rest assured, I will. Viren didn't know why, his eyes dripping. This wasn't because of how touching the Tower's words were, though Viren was sure it was a heartfelt quote from the Tower. Maybe it's because Viren is really moved by this, maybe Viren is thinking about the entire human world. "Lord of the Castle. ”
"Don't, don't. The steel tower hurriedly waved his hand: "Mr. Viren laughed, I am not the city lord now, I dare not be ashamed." ”
"Don't worry, Lord Castle, I already learned about your deeds from the Tiger King and the Lady of Light Sighs. During this period of scar jazz disorder, there is still a lot of weight for you to bear. Besides, it's late at night, and the dragons should have rested. When the morning dawns, I'll go talk to the dragon over there. Try to be able to convince them to help us. But don't worry, even if they don't help us, I still have a treasure. Viren pulled out the scales from his clothes and continued, "These are the scales of one of the dragons, because the dragons have made a promise that they will send troops to help us if we are in danger. And this is the token. So, even if these twenty dragons don't come to help us, we'll have more dragons to help. I'm going to do what I can and do what I can. ”
"Thank you, thank you!" Although the man had gold under his knees, the steel tower still knelt down suddenly, and his voice began to tremble: "Mr. Viren, on behalf of the Denoma Empire, thank you!"
