Chapter 271: Opportunity
Duke's City in the South, a suburb.
The pitch-black armor made a regular metal crashing sound from the neat steps.
The dark procession spread from the path through the forest and stretched into the distance until it disappeared into the green, with no end in sight—a long line of sixty thousand.
At the front of the line, the regent of Tiamat was in a particularly good mood.
He knew that it wouldn't take long for him to get rid of the word "regent" in his name.
Now, almost the whole of the South has confirmed that the Duke's City is indeed a prince;
Then as long as you take him back, the blood of the royal family will be completely in your hands!
As for what to do after receiving it? Kill it? How unreliable it is, no~
Take it back to the capital first, take care of it for a while, and show everyone how "loyal" he is to the royal family;
Whatever he wants to eat, what he wants, what he wants, Jumbo Beauty arranges everything, as long as he wants, he will change his tricks to give it - of course, there is one thing that must not be given.
Power.
Just let him dissipate his mind as much as possible and stop thinking about resisting, so isn't the throne still his own?
When the loyal nobles with swords in their hands let their guard down, then the next step can be promoted;
There were many magicians of all kinds in the palace, and let them use a little of the delirious magic on His Majesty, and let him give some ridiculous orders himself, and break the hearts of the nobles completely;
The next step is for him to give up the throne to himself.
What if he doesn't agree? That's easy to deal with.
Anyway, he is the only one left in the royal family now, just give him some magic powder that can be sterilized, mix it in the food, and find a few more beauties if he has nothing to do, let him indulge in pleasure, hollow out his body, how long can a strong person last?
When he dies, who else will control the country?
Thinking of this, Tiamat's heart blossomed with joy.
"Lord Regent," asked one of the nobles, "you don't look good." ”
"Haha, naturally!" the regent replied with a smile, "After all, the majesty who has been looking for a long time has finally been found!
"According to the scouts' report, there are only seven thousand weak troops in the city, and they are far inferior in terms of quantity and quality...... Even if you have the Duke City of the South as your backing, it is definitely not your opponent, ahahaha......"
The nobleman said with a smile, but suddenly changed his words again: "It's just ...... Do you feel that something is not quite right?
The Duke of the Southern Territory has always been at odds with you, and now in this situation, how can you not be on guard at all? More than 100,000 troops have been placed in Cangshan City without any movement, if we really take the city...... Isn't he at all at all?, I hope the Lord Regent won't blame him......
"I'm glad you're so cautious!" said the regent, who didn't mean to reproach him, "I didn't missee anyone...... You're so much better than those who only know how to flatter!"
"Ah...... The lord is overrated, ahaha......" The nobleman laughed embarrassedly;
"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. The Regent's smile was a little smug, "Do you know how many spies I've arranged in the south to spy on relevant information?"
"This ...... The truth is unknown. ”
"Oh, you don't need to know. The regent continued, "In short, the South...... In particular, I watched every move of the two armies, and they were the ones who could really threaten me.
Now, in the direction of Cangshan City, as long as there are more than 500 troops moving, I will know within an hour. ”
"Your Excellency...... It's unpredictable!"
"Indeed, their soldiers are hoarded there, and there is no sign of them being mobilized or conscripted near the Duke's city...... This means that there are indeed only so many defensive forces in the city. ”
"This ...... Why did the Duke of the South arrange this?"
"It must be because the hatred between the two of them goes beyond the south and the capital. The regent smiled and said, "Marquis of Black Cliff...... He really had some means, and he did not expect that he would be able to pass on the news of His Majesty to me under the pressure of the Duke, and hold out for three days under the pressure of the army. ”
"Is the hatred already so great that it is impossible to withdraw troops?"
"It's a dead bite. The regent said, gesturing, "The Marquis of Black Cliff has sent me a secret letter! He told me that there are already soldiers in ambush in the forest near Cangshan City, as long as the duke's team dares to leave, they will be dealt with directly, and if their whole army retreats, it will be better, taking advantage of the chaos and the low morale of the duke's command, they will definitely be able to win a big victory!"
"That's why you attack so confidently......" the nobleman nodded, "But you don't doubt the Marquis of Black Cliff?"
"He and the Duke have always had a bad relationship, don't you know! Besides, let's look at the facts...... Now the fact is that those soldiers really didn't move much! 7,000 people...... If I am defeated by 7,000 men, it will only mean that I am not worthy of this position!"
"The gods always give people a chance! whether it's the Duke's mistake or the Marquis's ability, now ...... It's a great opportunity!"
As long as you can take the Duke's City...... Tiamat looked at the walls in the distance, expanding in his vision;
You will be able to get enough chips from the southern realm to overwhelm the entire kingdom! The western realm, the royal realm, and half of the southern realm are enough to compete with the rest of the world!
Thinking of this, Tiamat became more and more excited-
No, the more you get to this point, the more you should calm down and think about whether there is anything that threatens you.
As a duke, the strength of a single person is incomparable to that of ordinary soldiers, and there is no need to worry about the problem of assassination by small teams;
The only threat is a head-on confrontation with the army...... However, now the Duke's City has no strength to resist at all!
It's imperative ......!
"Huh?" Tiamat looked down at his mount with some curiosity;
It doesn't seem to be very willing to move forward.
"Hey, old man, what's wrong with you?" the Lord Regent knew very well that it had already gained a little humanity in its long-term companionship, "Maybe this long journey has made you a little tired, but it doesn't mean that you want to stop and rest halfway, right?"
The horse still did not want to open its hooves, but neighed quietly;
...... How does this guy sound, a little sad?
"Well, if your horses are tired...... If you don't dislike it, how about exchanging things with Zai Xia for the time being?" the nobleman next to him asked tentatively, "It doesn't matter if the speed of Zai Xia slows down a little, right?"
"Well, then...... Huh?"
What made Tiamat feel a little strange was that when he was about to exchange, the mount was moving forward normally again;
Sure enough, it's just a little lazy......
