In the Holy Roman Empire, Lothair's death still caused a lot of repercussions, and Zhao Yougong ordered Lothair's head to be sent to Hohenzollern, on the one hand, to return Lothair to the arms of God, and on the other hand, to deter the Germanic nobility. Looking at Lothair's head, Dorle and the others could only smile bitterly, the state affairs are difficult, and there are many things. The Orientals are also bad enough, they will be killed if they are killed, and they will send their heads over, which is obviously a demonstration. Dolle will not be stupid enough to provoke the Orientals, recently the Eastern Romans are about to move, the devil knows when to make a move against the Holy Empire, and if he provokes the Orientals at this time, it is to find death. The Franks can't count on it, although the Louis family nominally belongs to the Holy Empire, but has always been aloof, in the past two years, and has been bent on occupying LinkedIn Gran, where can they have the heart to compete with the Eastern Romans? It's just a pity that Lothair, a figure who once moved the empire, didn't even make a splash after he died.

After nearly eight days of fighting, the southern part of Merlin City has been reduced to ruins, and the Luke family has roped in the Weilan family and the Matisse family, and the Weiting family has repeatedly fought for the southern city gate. Luo Weidenov's fishing plan was quite successful, but the Weiting family did not destroy the Luke family's soldiers and horses in one go, but the Luke family united with the Weilan family to occupy two streets from the west, and under the frantic counterattack, they almost defeated the Weiting family's soldiers and horses. For a while, the two sides confronted Nancheng, and no one could take the south gate, the only good news was that the south gate was still in the hands of centurion Fabian, Fabian belonged to the Lucas family, although the Lucas family belonged to the South Lorraine aristocratic system, and was a trusted ally of the Weiting family, but after all, it was not the real Weiting family. Therefore, at present, the attitude of Fabian and the Lucas family has become the key to deciding the battle for Merlin City. I have to say that the times create heroes, two months ago, who would have thought that a small person like Fabian would become a figure of the year who affected the belonging of Merlin City? Holding the South Gate in his hand, the Lucas family is also rising, and even Hornan has to concede three points.

There is nothing good to do about it, he thinks that this is a mistake by Khornan, the key position of the city gate, it should be garrisoned by the people of the Weiting family, how can it be distributed to others? But the battle for Merlin has entered a critical moment, and he can't say anything about Holnan. The two sides are at loggerheads, and at the same time, the battle outside the city of Merlin is also in full swing, the soldiers and horses belonging to the royal family and the cavalry of North Lorraine are in a group, and there is a big fight inside and outside the city, and the most unlucky is the people of Merlin. Since the start of the battle in Nancheng, there have been two riots on Meilin Avenue alone, many people ran to Meilin Avenue to smash and loot, and the city patrol soldiers paid more than a dozen casualties to suppress the riots. Troubled times produce heroes, and troubled times are also rich in mobs. Now the situation in the city of Merlin is so erosive that Hornan could not have imagined that the battle at Nuremberg has ended hastily, and both sides have chosen to retreat after beating the vicinity of Nuremberg, and the local residents are still suffering. Outside Merlin City, the royal army relied on the strength of the people, coupled with the ease of waiting for work, the North Lorraine cavalry who rushed to the aid of Merlin City suppressed the head could not be raised, and the North Lorraine cavalry still continued to ask for help, hoping that the Wei Ting family would quickly clear the rebel forces in the city. Hornan has a big head and two heads, and he is a little anxious, although the Luke family is weak, but the old thing Laford is too cunning, he concentrates all his troops and horses in the southern city, does not expand the combat area at all, and reduces the disadvantage of troops to the minimum as much as possible.

Rafford is definitely scheming, and when the army is at an absolute disadvantage, he insists that the South Lorraine family cannot advance or retreat. Lafford saw Holnan's weakness from the beginning, no matter how he fought, Holnan's bottom line was to save Merlin City as much as possible, of course, there was nothing wrong with doing so, who wouldn't want to control a Merlin City that was as perfect as possible? If he were in power, he would choose to do so. However, in this way, there is a problem, and the patrolmen will be tied up when they attack. Jommie, Moore and the others have all gathered in the Nanlin Manor, since the start of the Merlin City War, these people have lived in the Nanlin Manor, Moore is the first time to experience such a major event, and he is a little flustered, "What should I do now?" The delay in opening the south gate is very bad for us. ”

Jommy and the others also nodded with sad faces, Raffor smiled slightly, and pointed his finger at the wine glass on the table, "Didn't you notice?" Up to now, the people of the Lux family have a tendency to be self-contained, hehe, it seems that the people of the Lux family have also become greedy, but this is only good for us, no harm, whether we can take the South City Gate, it depends on whether we can impress the Lux family. ”

"How is this possible? The Luxes family is an old South Lorraine noble, how can they help us? Moore and the others naturally refused to believe it, and Raffle shook his head and did not explain further. In fact, the messenger who persuaded the Lux family had already set off, and as for what price to pay, it would depend on the negotiations. Unlike Nanlin Manor and Varro Manor, Valener Manor is quietly located on the grassy slopes of the West City, surrounded by green grass and the occasional goat walking by the river, which is like a paradise compared to the chaos of the city. Since the beginning of the war, Valener Manor has become the focal point of Merlin. The current head of the Lux family is the Count of Lalenque, Lalenque is frivolous, when he was young, he often flowed on the belly of women, and when he was older, not only did he not converge, but he was simply unhappy without a woman, according to the family of Valene Manor himself, the Count of Lalenque must be accompanied by two women every night, otherwise he will not be able to sleep. A person like Lalenk generally doesn't attract the attention of others, and similarly, he can't be a threat to others, so there should be no problem in living an absurd life in peace. However, the war between the Luke family and the Weiting family has bred Lalenque's ambitions. When night fell, Lalenk's bedroom kept coming from the sound of a woman's humming, and it was not one, there were four women in the room, naked, Lalenk enjoyed it to the fullest, and even fought four women, Lalenk was also talented.

Bang bang, there was a knock on the door, "Lord Earl, Lord Senna wants to see you and want to continue talking to you". Lalenk patted the woman's snow-white buttocks, and scolded a few words very unpleasantly, this Senna really can't pick the time, is there anything that can't be talked about tomorrow? Lalenk is frivolous and simple-minded, but not really stupid, and the longer it drags on, the more benefits it will gain. At first, Senna looked arrogant, but now he still whispers?

When he came to the hall, a man dressed in a red aristocratic costume greeted him, "Senna has seen the Earl, and he has come to visit late at night, and there are many disturbances, so he really has something important to discuss." ”

"It's okay" Lalenk wrapped in a wolf's skin, sitting on the side, the four women are still just following alongside, in their own manor, there is a private residence, so the four women are just wearing a thick coat, there is not an inch inside, one of the women is not well-chested, revealing a white flower. Nowadays, most of the Western aristocracy is wrapped in a life of extravagance, like the Frankish royal aristocracy, and sometimes women do not even wear clothes in their own residences. In addition to being a little envious, Senna was also not surprised, Lalenk motioned for Senna to sit down, and smiled slowly, "Did Lord Rafford agree to the conditions discussed before?" ”

"Lord Earl, those conditions, Lord Raffle can basically agree to, only one, Merlin Avenue and Miss Marina can't give it to you" Senna had already consulted Raffle, and Raffle thought about it for a long time before giving a reply, he couldn't give up Merlin Avenue and Marina, this is the bottom line of the Luke family. How much tax does Merlin Boulevard create in a year, and fools know that this is a hen that lays golden eggs, how can it be given to Lalenke? Marina can't even give Lalenk, even if she finally defeats the Weiting family, it will be defeat, not real extermination. The Weiting family has led the Red Grape nobles for hundreds of years, and their power is huge, not only in Merlin City, but also in Túrin, Hohenzollern, etc., there are many Weiting family forces, so even if the core forces of the Weiting family Merlin are defeated, they still have to keep Marina. It can be said that whoever marries Marina will be able to make those Weiting family forces outside of Merlin City allegiance, which is a good opportunity to expand the family's power. Who Marina should marry, Rafford had already figured out, and as long as he had the opportunity, it must be a descendant of the Luke family. As for Lalenk, this kid is completely insane and wants to marry Marina. Senna was resolute, Lalenk twitched the corners of his mouth with a displeased face, and his right hand groped around the woman next to him. In fact, Lalenk is not hopelessly stupid, and he also knows that asking Merlin Avenue and Marina is tantamount to pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth, and proposing these two items is just to increase the bargaining chips.

"If Lord Raffle doesn't agree, then I can't force it, but the taxes at the bayou will go to the Lukes," Lalenque duly threw out another condition, which was more acceptable than Merlin Avenue and Marina. Senna kept smiling bitterly in his heart, Lalenk, a lewd man, is sometimes really a little clever, and the interests of the estuary dock must be given up, otherwise Lalenk will have to turn his face, because he has been rejected and lost face. Frowning and thinking about it, Senna finally pursed his lips and nodded, "Okay, the estuary dock can be given to Lord Earl, and in addition, Lord Rafford has also prepared twenty Salas beauties for Lord Earl." ”

Salas is the inhabitants of the east coast of the Baltic Sea, also known as the amber group, and the local Kroni, Latjialian, Thuronia and other ethnic groups are rich in beautiful women, even in later generations, Latvia and Estonia, which inherited the amber group, are still famous for their rich beauty. Since the defeat of the Polish Dynasty by the Church Legions, the Crusaders of the Church have entered the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea, and since then, the Germanic nobility has had a tradition of keeping Salas beauties in captivity. It just so happens that Lalenk is another lustful person, twenty Salas beauties, which is really appetizing. Lalenk didn't care if the twenty Salas beauties were sent by Rafford, but he looked at Senna, which was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, and this Senna was really good at doing things.

Lalenque negotiated secretly with Senna, and in the Varro manor, Hornan was not idle, strengthening the surveillance of the Lukes family on the one hand, and summoning the nobles of Southern Lorraine on the other to discuss countermeasures. Under close surveillance, after all, the cat between Lalenke and Senna was discovered, and the news reached Varro Manor, and the nobles of South Lorraine were all angry and blushing and thick-necked, and some people even scolded, "This Lalenke is really a species of miscellaneous fish, if he lets go of the South City Gate, we will all be unlucky." ”

Although Huo Nan was mentally prepared, after getting the exact news, he still couldn't accept it. The Lux family is an old South Lorraine aristocracy, and they would do such a thing that harms others and themselves, and the Lux family has come to an end with a family head like Lalenke. Lalenk, an idiot, really thinks that if he helps the Luke family, they will fulfill their promises? When the nobles of South Lorraine are defeated, the Luke family and those emerging forces will be greatly strengthened, and the Lukes family will be taken into account when the time comes? Without the threat, the Lukes family is not even a fart, and at that time, even if they promise all kinds of benefits, they just don't fulfill them, what can you do? Hornan didn't even bother to reason with Lalenk, if this guy could understand why, he wouldn't have done such a thing. It can be said that from this moment on, the Lux family has been led to a dead end by Lalenk, the Luke family will not really regard the Lux family as an ally, and the nobles of South Lorraine also regard the Lux family as a traitor, no matter who wins Merlin City in the end, the Lux family will definitely be very unlucky. An old nobleman of South Lorraine trembled and said angrily, "Lord Duke, this dog thing will die sooner or later, but now is not the time to tear his face." In any case, I can't let him fall to Lappord's side now, I suggest sending someone to negotiate with Valenre Manor, and we will promise double the price as much as the Luke family promises, this idiot is bent on taking advantage of the South Gate to play games, but he doesn't know if he can swallow the gold bricks. ”

In the face of a traitor like Lalenk, the nobles of South Lorraine can be said to be united in their hatred of the enemy. The head of the previous generation of Lux's family was also a highly respected person, and his successor turned out to be this stinky virtue. There is no better way for Holnan, although he wants to kill Lalenk immediately, but he must rely on the other party for now. What is surprising is that there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the crowd was excited, but Lovednov, as the representative of the Eastern Empire, was unusually quiet and did not say a word. Hornan hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at Luo Weidnov and asked in a low voice, "Lord Luo Weide, what do you think?" ”

Lovednov looked as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating, but in fact he had been thinking about the affairs of the Lukes family, and when he heard Hornan ask, he nodded lightly, "Lord Duke, I don't recommend going to Lalenk, this Lalenk is just a little clever, in the choice of big things, like a stupid pig, he can have close contact with the people of the Luke family, which has shown that this person is hopeless." Just ask, how much benefit can we give him, and no matter how much benefit we have, it will just be thrown into a bottomless pit. Our appearance only increased his bargaining chips, and as soon as we showed up, he turned around and went to the Luke family to ask for more benefits, and it didn't make a big deal to pull it around. So, let's just let Lalenque open the gates, and when they open, it's not necessarily a bad thing for us. ”

Hornan's expression moved, he knew Luo Weidenov, this person was far-sighted and broad-minded, and if he could say such things, he must have relied on it. However, the other South Lorraine nobles were a little confused, and they all looked at Luo Weidenov with strange expressions. Feeling the doubtful eyes around him, Luo Weidenov shook his head with a wry smile, stood up and whispered in Holnan's ear, "Lord Duke, I received news a few days ago that there is still a large army in North Lorraine that is rushing to the aid of Merlin City, so opening the city gate may not be dangerous for us. ”

Huo Nan was stunned, his eyes were full of doubts, from North Lorraine to South Lorraine, only the cavalry could rush to the aid in a short time, but as far as he knew, 3,000 cavalry was already the limit that North Lorraine could take, and the Red-Capped Knights suffered such heavy losses, where did North Lorraine go to get so many cavalry? It's not that Lorraine lacks knights, no matter how weak the nobles of Northern Lorraine are, it is not a problem to get together a few thousand knights, the key is war horses and equipment. Since the founding of the Kingdom of Lorraine, it has not been good at military affairs, and there is a serious shortage of war horses and ordnance reserves, and sometimes it is useless to have people, and if there are no war horses, is the cavalry still called cavalry? Luo Weidenov nodded, and gave Hornan a reassuring look, Hornan was puzzled, but he could only choose to believe Lauvednov, so he straightened his mood and looked at the surrounding South Lorraine nobles, "Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Rovid has already made arrangements, so there is no need to discuss the issue of Lalenk." From this day on, all the troops and horses will be withdrawn from the Nuremberg area, and we will fight the rebels in the city. ”

Even Huo Nan said so, and the other nobles naturally did not speak out against it. There was a lot of discussion in the castle, and there was also a group of people outside the castle, Marina was dressed in a small red leather armor, her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was heroic. Royce was like a servant, following closely behind Marina. Recently, the nobles of South Lorraine and the Luke family have been at war, and there have been many wars in the city, but Miss Marina is not willing to be lonely, "Royce, you really disappointed me, you are also the heir of the dignified Sousa family, why do you do things for that Oriental?" Merlin City became like this, it was you who made it, what kind of Eastern Emperor is also a bastard. ”

Royce was full of grievances, blinking pitifully, this violent girl is really unreasonable, how did the matter of Merlin City become the fault of the Eastern Empire? "Miss, you have a lot of misunderstandings about the regent, the affairs of Merlin City have nothing to do with him, and the contradictions in it were buried a hundred years ago. But don't worry, the regent will definitely not sit back and watch the power of South Lorraine be weakened, and the royal family will just be brave for a while. ”

"Well, what about you? You give Miss Ben a momentary bravery, if you have a little bravery, Miss Ben can also say admiration" Marina's face looked disdainful, and the slender jade fingers poked through the air, and Royce's face became extremely distorted. After this period of contact, although I have some understanding of Miss Marina, I am often angered by Miss Marina. Immediately, Royce wanted to cry again, Miss, Miss, are you really stupid or fake, this is Merlin City, not North Lorraine, how can he Royce point fingers, this has nothing to do with courage? However, reasoning with Miss Marina is almost looking for abuse, and Royce can only keep his mouth shut. At this time, the aristocratic deliberations also had a result, one by one South Lorraine nobles came out one after another, Marina stood on tiptoe and kept looking, and after seeing a middle-aged bearded man, she immediately ran up and grabbed the bearded sleeve and asked anxiously, "Uncle Norrick, are you going to fight, tell me quickly, where to fight?" ”

Marina's eyes lit up, her fighting spirit was high, like a heifer with a strong hair, Norrick almost didn't sit on the ground, shook off Marina's hand, and said with a wry smile, "What to fight, just decided, all the outer city patrols retreated, waiting for the decisive battle in the city." ”

"What?" Marina immediately quit and ran over excitedly, waiting to show her female power and kill all sides, but people said that she would not fight, "How can this be, are you afraid?" That little old man in Holnan, is his head in water, why do you want to abandon the periphery? Why did this happen, Miss Ben was not convinced. ”

The nobles of South Lorraine had not yet dispersed, and when they heard Miss Marina's bold words, they suddenly collapsed, stopped one by one, and gave Marina a thumbs up. In Merlin City, Marina dared to be so arrogant, and even ridiculed Huo Nan as a little old man in front of everyone, and if she was someone else, she would have been chopped into meat sauce by the city patrol soldiers. Royce was sweating profusely, if the eldest lady wants to be so shocking, it is simply scared to death. Hornan was walking out with Lovednov, and as soon as he arrived in the corridor, he heard his daughter shouting such a sentence, and immediately the face twisted into a twist, and Lovednov laughed in his heart, pretending not to hear. Miss Marina is really a living treasure, no matter how dull the atmosphere, she can be amused. I don't know if it was stimulated, Huo Nan unconsciously straightened up, strode out, stood on the steps and yelled at the audience, "Marina, what do you want to do." ”

When others saw that Huo Nan's face was full of frost, they must have been so frightened that they bowed their heads and didn't speak, Marina was not afraid at all, she pulled out her short sword and raised her neck, "What about you, you little old man, why don't you fight, are you afraid?" ”

"You.... Do you say another little old man? I'll kill you...."As he spoke, Huo Nan snatched a broadsword from the guards, he was not a little old man, but a real knight, the broadsword slapped over, Marina shrunk her neck, squeezed through the crowd and ran out, and ran out of a dozen steps in a blink of an eye, "Stinky old man, broken old man, if you have the ability, you will chase!" ”

With Marina as a living treasure, it's hard not to laugh, Huo Nan's father and daughter acted in this play, and the rest of the people no longer felt how oppressive the atmosphere was. Huo Nan threw away the broadsword in his hand and glared angrily, with such a daughter, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a tragedy. Marina fled back to her lodgings as if nothing had happened, and led her female soldiers to a new round of training. Not far away, Luo Weidenov and Royce stood side by side outside the fence, looking at the eldest lady's sassy and heroic posture for a long time, Royce smiled a little wryly, "Fortunately, I didn't directly agree to the marriage, and with Marina's temperament, I can't toss His Highness crazy." ”

"I can't say that, this eldest lady is not as simple as it seems, she looks like she has a bold personality and a big grin, but in fact she is like a mirror in her heart" Luo Weidenov has his own opinion, taking today's events as an example, it seems that Marina opposes Holnan's resolution, in fact, she has already accepted the reality in her heart, otherwise she would not have made a fuss and went back to her residence to train the army. Lalenk's matter is no secret, if Marina really carelessly behaves, it is estimated that she has already led the city patrol to Valenk Manor to take Lalenk's head at this time. The eldest lady seems to have no ink, but in fact she is very smart, but people know very well how important she is, and she will not venture outside the Varro Manor.

The eldest lady is actually a little witty, but her personality on the surface has confused many people. Luo Weidenov touched his chin and watched Marina train for a long time, "Although the marriage is dispensable, it is better to marry, the resources behind this eldest lady are rich enough, which is very beneficial to the empire's westward expansion strategy." ”

Lovednov and Royce pondered Marina's affairs, while inside the castle, Yakuta and Norrick sat in Khornan's study. It is not known what Lovednov said at the meeting, so Norrik waited for the others to leave, and then returned to the Varro estate. He and Holnan have a very good personal relationship, not only because of the family alliance, but more importantly, because they are from the same family, so compared to other nobles, the relationship between the two is much closer, "Hornan, what happened just now, let go of the city gate, it is obviously not good for us, why did you agree to Luo Weidenov?" ”

There are no outsiders here, the two have always called him by his name, and the two sides have long been used to it, and Yakuta is naturally not strange as a close confidant of Holnan. Pouring a little vermilion wine, Huo Nan smiled and said, "There are no outsiders now, it doesn't hurt to say it, according to Lord Luo Weide, there are two batches of reinforcements from Northern Lorraine, and a group of cavalry will arrive in Merlin City in the near future, so it is beneficial for us to open the city gate at this time." ”

Norrick put down his glass, reached out and knocked on his forehead, he still knew the situation in Northern Lorraine, when North and South Lorraine were called by the royal family, they barely managed to put together tens of thousands of red-capped knights, and after the battle of the Istrian heights, the red-capped knights suffered heavy losses. Although many people survived in North Lorraine, three thousand cavalry was already the limit of North Lorraine. It really makes people wonder how North Lorraine can form more cavalry? Noric had doubts in his heart, he was afraid that Luo Weidenov was using some tricks, Luo Weidenov was an outsider after all, although the Eastern Empire intended to absorb the Lorraine Kingdom, they would not send a single soldier. In the final analysis, even if Merlin City is in shambles, the Oriental people will not feel distressed, "Huo Nan, do you believe Luo Weide's words?" This person is scheming, we must guard against his scheming, you know, what will happen to Merlin City in the end, the impact on Luo Weidenov is not great, so, I suggest that Luo Weide be controlled in the next few days, in case of any accidents, we at least have some leverage. ”

Norrick also proceeded from the overall situation, considering the interests of the nobles of South Lorraine, Huo Nan shook his head with a wry smile, "It is estimated that it is difficult, people like Luo Weide are too smart, if we put him under house arrest, it is estimated that it will backfire." I also thought about the issue of reinforcements before, Luo Weide was so sure that the reinforcements would come, he must have confirmed the news in advance. Relying on the strength of North Lorraine, it will definitely not be able to take out more soldiers and horses, but with the help of the Orientals, it is different. From Hohenzollern and the Danube, the Easterners had completely taken over the kingdom of Saxony. The Kiev base camp also moved the council to the castle of Suprin, and after so many days, it is impossible for the Easterners not to know about the situation in the city of Merlin. In the Oriental way of doing things, it is impossible to say and do nothing. If the Easterners provided horses and ordnance, and Northern Lorraine provided soldiers, it would not be a problem to pull up a cavalry in a short time. After the Battle of the Eastern Crusade, the lords of Northern Lorraine had nearly 100 personal guards under their commands, and these people were equipped and climbed on their horses to be a cavalry. ”

Speaking of this, Huo Nan couldn't help but envy the wealth of the Orientals, and the resources in their hands were strong enough. The reason why the Easterners were able to defeat Kiporos in a short period of time and make the Holy Empire unpeaceful relied on the cavalry under their command. The Oriental people actually have nearly 50,000 cavalry under their command, which is terrible to think about, and raising such a group of cavalry is not just about having money. War horses, iron ore, all the same. The Kingdom of Lorraine is rich, but the iron ore is strictly guarded, and you can't buy it even if you have money. If it weren't for the need for Lothair and Dolle to have a knight order in the Kingdom of Lorraine to defend against the Franks in the west, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to pull up the red-capped knights. It seems that there are countless rich and noble people in the Kingdom of Lorraine, but in fact, they are all big fat sheep in the eyes of Haoqiang. Norrick knew that what Holnan said was very reasonable, but reason told him that the Orientals were not really so kind, "The Orientals came to Saxony like a flood of beasts, and they really didn't know whether it was good or bad for us." ”

"Norik, you sometimes just think too much, so it doesn't make sense, at least for now, it seems that befriending the Oriental is very beneficial to us" Hornan is a person who can afford to let go, the so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, and now all aspects have to rely on Luo Weidenov, if he is still under house arrest, it will definitely not have any good results. As he spoke, he felt that something was wrong, looked at Yakuta, and asked aloud, "What about Luo Weide?" ”

"It seems to go to the west" Yakuta is still very concerned about Luo Weidenov, the west is the residence of the eldest lady, heavily guarded, and he is not afraid of anything happening to Luo Weide, so Yakuta did not follow, "It should be to go to the eldest lady's side, Royce is also with him, and the chief of the Morino guard has been following, and nothing can happen if he wants to." ”

"Strange thing, what are you doing at Marina's?" Hornan felt that he couldn't understand Luo Weidenov more and more, judging from the previous situation, Luo Weidenov had always had a dispensable attitude towards marriage, why did he care so much about Marina now? If you want to say that Luo Weidenov really wants to marry, Hornan doesn't believe it, if it was before, it is still possible, now, Merlin City is in chaos, the Orientals have already gained the upper hand, there is no need to use marriage as a link, the alliance of interests of the two sides is already very strong. Norrick thought for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Perhaps, Lovednov really has a heart for Marina." ”

Whatever, Huo Nan smiled bitterly and shook his head, for now, it was important to solve the trouble of Merlin City first. Now that the situation in Merlin City is tense, every move of the Wei Ting family involves the interests of many parties, and the city patrol soldiers retreated in a big way, completely giving up the entire southern city. On the surface, it seems that he is afraid of the alliance between Raffle and Lalenk, so Lalenque did not have the slightest suspicion, and in the name of the lord of the Lukes family, he ordered Fabian to open the southern gates. On the twenty-third day of the first month of the sixth year of Taikang, after more than ten days of hard fighting, Meilin City finally ushered in a key point, and the royal army that had been waiting outside the city immediately drove into the city. At the same time, the cavalry of Northern Lorraine also bypassed the valley of Mount Lubo and entered the city of Merlin through the north gate. Merlin City ushered in a more tragic fierce battle, the two sides opened the city gates, more soldiers and horses entered Merlin City, so that the battle expanded rapidly, from Merlin Avenue to Lishui Bay, the Luke family and the royal family soldiers and horses divided into several roads, many attacks. With the help of the elite soldiers of the royal family, the rebels gained momentum, and a group of soldiers led by Jomi came from Merlin Avenue and rushed all the way to Varro Manor. Attacking Varro Manor is a plan made by Raffle and Moore together, and now that the troops are sufficient and they have the advantage, they must fight quickly, as long as they take Varro Manor, they can directly crush the will to resist of the old-fashioned nobles in South Lorraine. The addition of the royal family directly led to the fall of Merlin Boulevard, and now Varro Manor has become a key target, and the entire South Lorraine nobility finally feels a trace of danger.

Inside the Varro Castle, the judges and guards came and went, and it was a busy scene, with Hornan and Lovednov sitting in the hall, directing the battle of the manor. Luo Weidenov didn't expect to lose Merlin Avenue so quickly, so the situation became a little passive, "The top priority is to hold the two streets near Varro Manor, Lishui Bay has lost its defensive value, Lord Duke, I suggest that the defenders of Lishui Bay be transferred back." ”

"Okay" Hornan's deep approval of Lovednov's proposal, before the order was given, a personal guard hurriedly ran in, "Lord Duke, the rebels have broken through the first line of defense on the perimeter, and are now attacking the second line of defense. ”

"So fast" Luo Weidenov also felt a headache, did he believe too much in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Weiting family? The first line of defense, defended by nearly 800 soldiers, was broken through in less than an hour, which was really disappointing. If you have 2,000 Imperial soldiers in your hands, why are you so passive? The Kingdom of Lorraine is really not a military kingdom, and the aristocratic soldiers of Zhejiang and Western China have not been trained in war for a long time, so they seem too immature. Disappointment is disappointment, but we must find a way to resist it, "transfer the defenders of Lishui Bay back as soon as possible, pass through the flank and rear of the first line of defense, and strive to attack the rebels from the flank streets." Captain of the Yakuta Guard, please also lead the Guards Battalion to the last line of defense. ”

Yakuta didn't immediately agree, but looked at Hornan, and saw that Hornan didn't object, so he nodded heavily. At such a critical moment, there is no need to care about the suspicion of dominating the hosts, Luo Weidenov quickly entered the state, as if returning to the situation of the conquest of Festak and the siege of Yumsburg, "Everyone, no matter what kind of festival everyone had before, but now it has come to the moment of life and death, and I hope that everyone will abandon their previous suspicions and jointly resist the enemy." I know that many of you have a fluke mentality, and if there is, it is best to dispel this caution, the Luke family and the royal family have joined forces to want the whole of South Lorraine. If the royal family is allowed to win, none of our inherent forces will be able to stay, and no one will survive. ”

The gaze like a substance seemed to pierce people's hearts, and some of the South Lorraine nobles chuckled in their hearts before they reacted. In fact, many people are holding a fluke mentality, thinking that this is just a power struggle between the royal family and the Weiting family, and the royal family may not be wiped out. However, Lovidnov's words completely dispelled the illusions in everyone's hearts. Huo Nan secretly miscalculated, he should have thought of this a long time ago, he must block everyone's back road first, so as not to do his best when he gets it.

At this time, outside the Varro Castle, it had already been beaten into a pot of porridge, and Lovednov personally mobilized, coupled with the fact that Hornan led by example, the nobles of South Lorraine had no reservations. Obviously a restless man, Marina heard that the rebels were almost outside the Varro Manor, so she led her women's guard and broke out. Royce was like a little follower, protecting him every step of the way, which made Marina very dissatisfied, "What are you doing with you?" ”

"On the orders of Lord Royce, protect the safety of the eldest lady" Royce's face remained unchanged, he would not back down if he was killed anyway, Marina looked at it, and there was nothing to do with Royce, so he could only accept his fate.

On the last line of defense, Jomi was dressed in silver armor, with an iron helmet over his head, revealing only two eyes. The attack was quite smooth before, but on this line of defense, the royal army suffered a loss, and the conservatives got so much fire oil from nowhere, and sealed the street with a fire, and after a fight, more than 200 people were damaged, "Come on, let me break through the wall next to me, and bypass it from behind, I don't believe it, and the living can still suffocate urine." ”

With Jomi supporting behind, a group of people had no scruples, and tried their best to smash the wall next to them, where could the people living inside stand it, several people ran out and knelt directly on the ground and cried bitterly, "My lord, you can't smash the wall, you smash this place, how can our family live?" ”

A few people were lying on the ground crying, Jomi was indifferent, still with a straight face, if he wasn't forced to be helpless, who would want to do this kind of thing that didn't have a child? The nobles of South Lorraine heavily defended the road in front of the Varro Manor, and the means were endless, and they attacked several times, all of which suffered heavy losses. Look not far away, a new round of attacks has been pushed back, and many soldiers are depressed, and if this continues, morale will be hit. Jomi glared angrily, looked at the men and women who were crying, and yelled vigorously, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way, if anyone dares to stop them, they will not be spared." What are you still doing in a daze, go and get the wall through, and before evening, I'm going to launch a new attack. ”
