Slow 28.16: Drag Away
·
An extremely chaotic battle broke out in an instant.
Due to the fact that everyone stood too closely, the casualties were extremely heavy, and a large number of people on the opposite side were killed within seconds. Several of the enemy leaders tried to take advantage of the chaos to snatch the body of Viscount Polz, but all of them were taken back by your side! The difference in numbers is so great that there is no suspense at all.
Maybe I was just waiting for the tsunami.
The few enemies who were desperate gave up the fight and jumped off the rooftops, and the tsunami approached before your eyes. The huge impact slaps on you, and the sky spins, but fortunately, your position is already the highest area in the town, and it is not easy for the tsunami to reach this point, so the power is greatly reduced.
You get so wet that you can't get any weter, cough a few times, and get up from the water at waist height. Didn't faint and wasn't injured, just two streets away by the big waves. The water level quickly receded.
The companions are not far from each other.
Except for the cacophony of the viscount's mansion in the distance, there was no longer any movement of battle around. You sit down and are finally able to catch your breath.
Familiar faces gather around you one after another, some people are excited, some people are tired, some people are stunned, some people are relieved, and gradually even unfamiliar faces are standing around you.
Before the war, you were surrounded by countless rebels you had never met, and when it ended, you had countless new supporters you didn't know. In one day, the changes were drastic, the surrounding streets were full of holes, and corpses were floating everywhere, and the only thing that remained constant seemed to be the innocent laughter of the crazy girl coming from the sky.
People are starting to piece together the bodies of Polz piece by piece in front of you. Not even a small piece of scum is missing, it's all here.
And then
Corroded by strong acid, it was wiped out, and only one finger remained. From today onwards, you will never see Porz again unless a top priest comes forward.
The fighting continues, but yours are over.
Viscount Polz is dead, so is Blood Barnacle, and any fighting around the Black Street no longer makes sense, and even if there were, the guards would be responsible for sweeping and looting.
Some of them scattered and disappeared into the rain,
Some people follow you towards the guild.
Their battle is over, and there's a brutal bloodless fight that you have to face alone.
Since the army of the marquis's son has come, the court will be convened within three days at the latest, and you will definitely not be absent. It's completely different from when it was in the ancient city, and now it's not someone else who is taking risks, it's yourself. You decided the life and death of others, but now it's the other way around.
"Look, what is this, Lord Grown?"
Tong En saw that there were fewer people around, basically all of them were the guild's own people, and took out a crystal clear dark sapphire from his arms and placed it in front of you, dangling it: "It's the material for soul binding." ”
She hummed imperceptibly, staring at the jewel and muttering, "Well, I'm ready to run away with Boltz's soul." ”
...... Yes?
"Otherwise, wait for death?" Tong En carefully took the dark sapphire into his arms and said to you very seriously, "Objectively speaking, Viscount Boltz's character is okay, and he rarely treats his subordinates harshly, even if the wall is down now, everyone is pushing the trees and scattering, there must be many desperate street killers who will find a way to regain the body and soul." I've already figured it out, I'll go to the camp right away, ask the professional killers to pull Bolts's soul out of the corpse and seal it in the Dark Sapphire, and then ask the plane mage to hide me in other planes along with the gems, at least to survive the Inquisition event. Otherwise, once Viscount Polz opens his mouth, your chances of winning in the Inquisition will be "even lower". ”
"Please send a private soldier and a squad of adventurers to protect me, and when the trial is over, I'll come back. ”
It is better to choose the imitation adventurer for the private soldier, and as for the adventurer squad......
A, "Blade Shield Moon"
B, "Rainbow Shadows"
C, "The Witch's Sigh"
D, "Elk Stalker"
Even if you provide a dark sapphire, the cost of soulbinding is as high as 500 gold, which is the commission for professional killers to secretly use their connections to ask evil mages above level 17 to go to the cave and cast spells. The otaku mage may also bind the soul, but this kind of dirty work is not suitable for him.
1. Approve Tong En's proposal to bind the soul of Bolts and never be able to live beyond the life (-500 gold)
2. Just hide his body, at least during the trial, it is impossible for his remnants to invite a top priest
Speaking of which,
Tong En cast a spell and teleported to the camp, taking Bolts' finger with him. Well...... Why is it that everyone can't get along with their fingers?
You walk down the street on the way back.
Most of the wounded rebels were in the vicinity of the ballista position, and they were miserable, but those who did not die on the spot were largely saved. There were also a small number of people lying in front of the treatment center at the entrance of the guild. To put it bluntly, they are nothing more than slightly stronger fishermen and laborers.
The real slaves, though not as big as the big collars, survived. They are malnourished but motivated, unlike these poor people who have suffered defeat and still have a way to live. When the death statistics were counted afterwards, it became the greatest irony of this "slave uprising".
The guild was also in shambles.
Not only caused by flooding, but also because of the sneak attack of the Black Street Killers. A group of crazy people, their hometowns have been beaten, and they still want to take advantage of the chaos to kill your hometown. At that time, there was not half of the combat strength in the guild, only a group of wounded and nurse private soldiers who were unable to resist, if it wasn't for your original order "don't be reluctant, don't go to the front line", Fiertin and other private soldiers were slightly injured and returned to the guild, the consequences would be unimaginable. In fact, it can't be beaten at all.
can only be regarded as a miracle,
Fieldine battled against a dozen of the Black Street Killers - the same group of people who climbed onto the roof and stood in the wrong line. Her charm has emerged since the large-scale job fair in the ancient city, and she is very subtle and weak.
We're all elves. Many people can't understand why so many elves are enslaved by Viscount Polz, but at the same time there is another group of elves who follow him to work, doing some shady deeds and aiding in abuse. Having lost their homes, they are all wanderers, and their integrity and faith are gradually not as important as they are to survive. Without a sense of belonging, the friendship between the same clan becomes as ethereal as a cloud in the sky. There is a saying in the market, mom is here, home is here, and it is changed to this group of elves...... The family is here, the blood is there, otherwise it is like the mother A hundred years later, the brothers and sisters have rarely interacted with each other, indifferent.
Hathaway and the others retreated from the camp to the guild.
She touches your cheek, confirms that she is safe, takes two steps back and salutes respectfully, and begins to report to work.
This morning, too, it was raining lightly in the camp, and soon the guards found themselves gathered an unusually large army, estimated at nearly a thousand. Their first reaction was "the Marquis's army." Except for the Marquis, there is no one in this area who has an army of this size. However, since the other party did not hold the marquis's heraldic flag, it means that the other party lacked a legitimate reason to send troops, and it may also be that Clementine Walter concealed the marquis's ...... without authorization
Wait a minute!
You reach out and stop Hathaway and ask, "Who?"
Hathaway was stunned and continued, "Leading the way is a close associate of the old marquis's granddaughter, Lady Sylvana, Clementine Walter. It is estimated that the granddaughter of the marquis led the troops to avenge her personal revenge. Samuel foresaw the general situation in advance, there was an enemy army coming, but he did not expect so many people. In short, we can only fight back. Fortunately, the other party did not raise the heraldic flag of the old marquis, otherwise any resistance of ours would have been a rebellion. ”
"Although both the otaku mage and the retired old bishop tried to protect themselves, the enemy was outnumbered, and eventually they fought into the camp and turned into a chaotic battle. Our group of people are all lacking in combat power, and the newly arrived plane mages are very weak and unable to fight when they have just been resurrected, so we are fine. The captain of the guard that you personally appointed...... Died heroically, along with the vice-captain. The army of the Count of Anulyn also lost more than half. ”
"But we captured Clementine Walter and are being held in the camp at the moment. ”
As he spoke,
Leia, whose wings are finally dry, crawls out of your hood and flies to Fiertin's shoulder, casting a spell...... Healing.
"Thank you. ”
Fielting touched his healed shoulder, and after ten seconds, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with Pike's magic spell.
One of the Changeling Maids walks up to you and nods meaningfully, suggesting that you've got it.
According to the plan, they took advantage of the uprising to turn into the staff of the council hall and the professional killers of the camp to kill all the speakers and parliamentarians of the Porz faction, and destroyed their bodies, and the matter was done very cleanly and neatly, without anyone finding it, leaving no trace. It's a full five, and for that, you pay
1. 2,000 gold, including the cost of soul binding.
2. 500 gold. No one but a madman would spend 5,000 gold to use a top priest to completely resurrect the insignificant little speaker, a political puppet.
Suddenly!
The door to the guild is kicked open!
Rushed into the regular army of fifty or sixty marquises, murderous.
The man at the head calmly shook off the rain on his body, took off his cloak and threw it in the center of the floor of the guild hall, and reached out to take a new dry cloak from the soldier next to him.
Put it on leisurely.
Then his gaze scans around, and finally stops on you: "Well, I guess, you are the Baron?...... Let's go?"
Where to?
The man smiled and saluted you lightly: "I, messenger of Lord Earl, I would like you to go to the local court. ”
...... it!
So fast?
The man covered his mouth and chuckled, "You ask about the uprising? You ask those who led the rebellion? Fourteen people have already been executed, and the others will be interrogated slowly, and not one of them will be able to escape. You ask Viscount Polz, who is a good man, and is already waiting for you in the courtroom. You ask if the evidence has been collected? Why did you take you to the courtroom, you ask? This, I'm afraid...... You know better than anyone else, hehe. ”
"When will the rain stop, you don't have to worry about tomorrow. ”
With that, he raised his hand and motioned for the soldiers to come forward and arrest him.
Hathaway stretched out her arms in front of you, shouting, "Wait a minute! Is my president convicted?"
"It's a matter of time. ”
That's the "suspect." If you don't want to lose your head, you should have the least respect for a nobleman, and it's still raining outside, so let's prepare a cloak for the president!
The man frowned, slowly lowered his hand, and looked at the hall where there was no shortage of masters. He ran his fingers through the gorgeous collar, pondered for a moment, and smiled: "Oh, it's okay, don't worry, please change your clothes slowly, Lord Baron." Be sure to choose carefully. Almost imperceptibly, he added: A baron is still so particular about shrouds.
They forbid you to leave the hall and go back inside to change your clothes, right here, not anywhere.
It's too fast, the army suppressed the uprising, collected evidence, and held a trial, thinking that it took two or three days for the old marquis to open the trial!
Hathaway began to deliberately delay, and the other party didn't care too much, the important thing was to keep an eye on you and not run away. It's better to run away.
"President...... Although we all know that the trial court must be passed, we did not expect this to be the case. Hathaway pressed her face to your arms and said in a low voice, "However, that guy at Tong En expected that this might be the case. ”
"Suppose Viscount Polz is even more sassy than we expected, then Lady Sylvana will cry to his father, begging to kill you and make the decision for Polz. Recently, it has been rumored that the old marquis is unwell, sick, and old, and when he can get out of bed with this disease is two theories. Now it is his son who is in charge of this land. He is not as wise as the old marquis, and he will believe whatever his daughter says. Looking at this situation, the courtroom is just a formality, in fact, it is tantamount to ......"
Go crazy. Poltz is dead, and it's still so tricky.
Therefore, all that you have prepared for the Inquisition is now useless. The situation changed completely, and the Marquis's son was completely on the side of Polz.
"Tong En has said that if the worst happens, which is the current situation, you must try to escape death with the "Phantom Sophistry" she saw in the Wang Li Library. ”
Fantasy...... What?
"There is only one person in history who is good at this and wrote this book in his twilight years, of course, it is a forbidden book, and ordinary people can't see it at all. Hathaway recalled Tong En's entrustment, "To put it simply, it is "several crimes are linked, and they are reversed together", which is only applicable to a one-sided trial where several crimes are punished together, and the more crimes there are, the more the effect of this sophistry can be exerted. ”
To sum up, the sophistry that Tong En saw was similar to playing cards:
If two options are the same in a row, the two charges can be exonerated together.
If three options in a row are the same, not only can you get away with it, but you can also bite back.
If three selections in a row turn into a straight, you can even turn into a merit-taker, i.e., ABC or BCD, but not CDA.
That's what he said, but Tong En never learned it, and it was only theoretical on paper. There are only those who can really do it.
"Enough of the lingering words, right?"
The man waved,
The soldiers immediately rudely set you up and dragged you into the icy rain like a thief who was dragging away the thief from the market. What awaits you is that the words "just trial" are pronounced "public executions".
