Chapter 15: Vic's Death
Li Zhan, who escaped from the manor, ran directly to Vic's official residence, and in the entire town of Karst, Vic had the command of the army, and he had to tell Vic about the Persian soldiers when he found them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Zhan knew very well that this could not be a simple robbery of Persian soldiers, and it was very likely a signal for the Persian Empire to go to war with the Roman Empire.
There were four soldiers guarding the gate of the official residence, and when they saw Li Zhan and them rushing towards the official residence, they also drew their weapons vigilantly, and shouted at them: "Stop! This is the official residence of Mayor Vic, what are you doing here! ”
"Hurry up and report to Mayor Vic, I found ten Persian soldiers in the manor!" Li Zhan, who was running wildly, was out of breath and shouted to the soldiers guarding the guard, "I'm Li Zhan, and my manor is in the east of the town!" ”
"Stop! Don't come any closer! One of the soldiers showed his weapon and shouted at Li Zhan, "What Persian soldiers, our Kast town is in the province of Dacia, and it is still far from Persia!" ”
"If you lie about the military situation, you will be beheaded!" Another soldier chimed in.
"It's true!" Before Li Zhan could answer, Heita shouted at the soldier, "Madar, it's true, I saw with my own eyes ten Persian soldiers, and they used broad-backed scimitars!" Now in the manor of Li Zhan in the east of the town! ”
"Black Tower?!" Madar frowned and looked at Heta, his face was still a little incredulous, but he knew that Heta would not lie, because he and Heta had been friends since childhood, "Is it really a Persian soldier?" ”
"Really!"
At this moment, the door of the mansion suddenly opened, and a big fat man staggered out, his face was flushed, and he was full of alcohol, if it wasn't for the official uniform, no one would really be able to recognize him as the mayor of the town, Vic.
"Fart!" Vic burped, pointed at Li Zhan and Heita and scolded, "You two untouchables, you dare to make trouble in front of Lord Ben's mansion, and you dare to lie about the military situation and take them down for me!" ”
Apparently Vic was already drunk, and when he saw Li Zhan, he suddenly became angry, and that day Li Zhan and Walton were fighting, and the fans bragged in front of him how powerful Walton was, and asked him to bet on Walton as well, and as a result, he placed 1,000 gold coins on Walton.
In the end, Li Zhan killed Walton, causing his 1,000 gold coins to be wasted, and he hated Li Zhan to the core, and now he saw Li Zhan come to lie about the military situation, and he was even more angry.
"Persia is 500 miles away from our province of Dacia, and if you want to enter my town of Karst, you must land at the port of Guardland, and you say that you have found Persian soldiers on your estate? I see you are a spy of Persia, take it for me! ”
As soon as Vic gave the order, Madar and the others surrounded Li Zhan and them, and the four of them faced them with their weapons.
"Lord Vic! Oh no! At this moment, Mario's figure suddenly appeared in the night, followed by two big men with tigers on their backs, who were his bodyguards at a glance.
Mario was also out of breath and shouted at Vic, "Lord Vic, the Persians have taken the port of Guardland, and my butler told me that the Persian army is now heading in the direction of the town of Custer!" ”
"What?!" Hearing Mario say the news of the Persian army's march towards the town of Custer, Vic's wine was also awakened, he suddenly felt the soles of his feet slip, and suddenly sat on the ground, "What do you say, the port of Guardland has fallen!" How many people are there in Persia! ”
There are two main ports in the entire province of Dacia, one is the Port of Guardland and the other is the Port of Madaga, which are located in the east and southwest of the province. Both ports are thriving commercial ports, and the town of Custer is a gateway to the inland part of the province for commercial trade with the Port of Guardland.
Therefore, as long as the port of Guardland falls, then the Persian army will definitely take the route of the town of Karst if they want to further take the province of Dacia. Once he is targeted by the Persian army, then he will be the main mayor of the town.
"But didn't the Empire sign a peace agreement with Persia three years ago and stop fighting?" Vic shuddered, "No, I have to hurry up!" ”
Vic had only one thought in his head, that is, to flee quickly, even the port of Guardland had been captured by the Persian army, and his small town of Custer could still withstand the attack of the Persian army, and now the only way was to get out of here quickly.
The obese Vic ran into the mansion with a wit and shouted to his family: "Hurry up and pack your things, the Persian army is coming, let's hurry to Adria!" ”
Mario watched in surprise as Vic ran into the mansion, he didn't expect Vic to run away.
At this time, Li Zhan was completely disappointed in this Vic.
"Mr. Mario." Li Zhan greeted Mario, and then asked him, "Since Vic is going to escape, do you want to follow him too..."
"Such a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, how can I, Mario, run away with him?!" Mario reacted and spat fiercely at Vic's mansion, "My grandfather was a general in the province of Dacia, and my grandfather was the first to rush into the battlefield when the empire fought with Persia, if I escaped now, wouldn't I lose my grandfather's reputation?!" ”
Li Zhan looked at Mario differently, he didn't expect Mario to be a descendant of the general, looking at him dressed luxuriously every day, he thought that he had been the owner of the manor for generations, or a nobleman.
"Stupid Vic, since you don't dare to fight the Persian army, then don't blame me!" Mario's eyes became very fierce, and then he whispered to the two big men behind him, "You go and fetch Vic's head, you go to the clock tower to ring the alarm bell, and I will get the call order from the army, and prepare to fight Persia with me!" ”
"Yes! Master! One of the two men rushed into Vic's mansion, while the other ran in the direction of the Colosseum, for the clock tower was behind it.
"Li Zhan, you will join me against the Persian army!" Mario walked over and put a hand on Li Zhan's shoulder, "After I get the summoning order, I'll give you a squadron of soldiers for you to command!" ”
Li Zhan's surprise at this time was not Mario's behavior, but the level of his two bodyguards: both of them were fighting warriors, which was one level higher than that of senior gladiators.
Mario doesn't have a rank, he just shows a simple manor owner.
"Li Zhan?!" Mario saw that Li Zhan didn't react for a long time, and thought that he was frightened because he was going to take off Vic's head, so he shook his shoulder and said, "It's okay." Even if I replace Vic now, no one in Dacia will dare to do anything to me. ”
There were a few screams in the mansion, and it wasn't long before the big man walked out with Vic's head in his hand, and at the same time, the alarm bell of the castletown tower rang, and the dull sound spread through the night, and everyone woke up from their sleep.
It was the first time they had heard the alarm bells being sounded, representing the coming of war.
There were many panicked people on the street, most of whom had already packed up and headed to the gladiatorial arena to gather.
At this time, Mario took the summoning order from the big man's hand, and then removed his coat, and the bright silver armor was particularly conspicuous in the dark night under the light of the fire.
And what made Li Zhan astonished was Mario's level: Battle Commander!
He has never found out Mario's level, or maybe because the level gap is too big, he can't check it, and now Mario has directly exposed his level, which is to show Li Zhan his strength.
"My grandfather was Max, the commander of the Second Legion of the Roman Empire's Dacia Province, the thirty-seventh rank of imperial gladiators, and was named the king of the empire." Mario unabashedly told Li Zhan his identity, "In addition to being the owner of Mario's Manor, I am also the reserve commander of the Eastern Squadron of the Second Army in Dacia Province. ”
After speaking, Mario took out a golden token from his waist, lit it in his hand, and said to everyone, "Everyone come with me to the square to assemble!" ”
The tower's alarm bell is a signal to call everyone to the square, and Mario and Li Zhan hurry to the square.
The huge square was full of all the people of Custertown, panicked or confused, all worried that something bad was going to happen.
At this time, Li Zhan followed Mario to the most prominent position in the viewing platform, and Mario's two bodyguards were also by their side, as for Blacktower and Emile, they were stopped behind the stairs.
"Sons of the Roman Empire! I am Mario, the commander of the Eastern Squadron of the Second Legion in the province of Dacia, and the mayor of Vic has been killed by the Persian assassins, and now I take his place! Dressed in bright silver armor, Mario raised his summoning order and his official order in the air, and shouted to everyone in the square, "The Persian army has conquered the port of Guardland, and our town of Custer is their next target, and now I order all those above the slave fighter to participate in the battle, and the others are responsible for logistics and city defense." ”
"In three hours, the Persian army will arrive, escaping is a coward's choice, the empire doesn't need cowards, whoever wants to escape, I will definitely cut off his head with my own hands!"
There was a lot of conversation in the square, and many manor owners began to attack Mario, especially the fans, and he took the lead in provoking Mario: "You said that the Persian army has conquered the port of Guardland?" There are three caravans in my estate that are going to Guardland Harbor today to make deliveries, and they didn't say anything about the Persian army when they came back, Mario! How the hell did Lord Vic die?! ”
"I heard you had him killed! It's that Li Zhan next to you! ”
At this time, Li Zhan was very wronged, obviously Mario asked his men to kill Vic, how did he become himself in the mouth of the fans?
Mario looked fierce and said to the bodyguard behind him, "Kill him!" ”
