Chapter 8 Winter is really about frying cow dung and drying salted fish
The silhouette of Pinewood Town gradually appeared in the dawn, and it was more angry than before, and several people obviously rushed back overnight, although Bell repeatedly said that there would be no problem, and no one could stop the anemologist from running, but Leo and Fran were still a little worried.
Unexpectedly, Ral and Fran were swapped, and Bell knew from the beginning that he was the only one in the dark, but it was also a blessing in disguise.
The warlock itself is powerful, not to mention the wind technique known for its agility like Ral, when Leo and his party were in the end, Lal had already united with the guards to take down all the assassins, and what made Leo dumbfounded was that the other party was worried that he would not be angry if he was found out, so he could only shake his head helplessly, and decisively played Fran with a brain melon.
"Skimmed"
Fran just stuck out her tongue and took Ral's hand, and the few girls in the group quickly formed an alliance.
…….
"My lord, the thief who intended to assassinate the princess has been interrogated, please take a look"
Barrow submitted a confession, but there was no useful information, and what made Leo most concerned was that the person who led him committed suicide by poisoning himself on the spot, without a trace of hesitation, and such a problem also appeared among those who assassinated him.
It's not that Leo looks down on the four nobles, according to the information of the shadow guard, the style of these pampered nobles has always been stupid, and more importantly, these people seem to appear out of thin air, they can't find any relevant information, what are they hiding? Leo vaguely felt that the dwarf king's intention to let him do this might be hidden in it.
"And....the thing you commanded has also been frought... Would you like to take a look? …”
The ruins of the ranch behind Pinewood Town, although the temperature was very low to suppress the volatilization of the smell, it was still inevitable that the eyes of the smokers hurt, and Fran had long been far away, only the loyal old Barrow did not move a step, but he also covered his nose.
A large number of white crystals have condensed on the walls of the compost site, and when they are scraped off, they are nitrate.
Barrow has already prepared a nitrate-making pond, and in the past two days, it has been quite objective, and the charcoal is naturally needless to say, and the most famous thing in the land of iron is the underground fire veins and hot springs.
It is not difficult to mix, fill the pre-prepared paper tube with soil in proportion, add nitrate, and carefully thread the cotton thread soaked in fire oil with iron wire.
"Fran, do you know what art is?"
“???”
Without waiting for her to reply, Leo quickly lit a small prototype in his hand and threw it into the distance, a light rain falling in the sky with a muffled sound.
Looking at Leo, who was covered in cow dung, Fran laughed directly.
"Well, that's art"
However, it can be detonated normally, and Leo's hanging heart is also put to the bottom, and it depends on whether the nobles in the city will take the bait.
Only the elder Barrow felt that he should have submitted his retirement application earlier.
…….
Earlier, the two Assassins had sent secret letters, one was a warning letter in Leo's name without any code, and the other was a code, saying that he had gained Leo's trust and would respond if necessary.
It's also time to put the warnings into reality.
The mountain people had already assembled and would be stationed at the rear of the town at night, and although it was okay to be known, the Grands still helped and blinded the eyes and ears of the other families.
"Your Highness, I don't know if he agreed?"
Fran stretched out her legs and swayed, smiling.
"Of course it was done, although he was very unhappy, but when he heard that it was his father's intention, he immediately agreed"
"But only when you ask me for it, you will call Your Highness, hum~"
Leo smiled, but a cold sweat oozed from his back, it was the dwarf king's meaning, it was up to him to decide, it should also contain all the power that could be deployed, but whether this kind of sloppy eyes on the text would be investigated afterwards, Leo had no time to think about it.
……
A team of people quietly blended into Drifting Snow City, leaving a carefully prepared surprise under the east and west gates, and they didn't know where they went.
At dawn, the nobles of Drifting Snow City were still asleep, but the gifts had already been delivered, and with two thunderous explosions, the plan to force the palace Drifting Snow City fired the first shot.
The inhabitants of Drifting Snow City swore that they had never heard such a loud thunder in their lives, and there were vague rumors in the city that the four great families had angered the gods, and now they must have lowered the hammer of sanctions.
A large number of residents fled directly from the bombed-out city wall, intending to take shelter from the limelight for a while, and the situation in the city was extremely chaotic for a while.
It was still very early, and the nobles who didn't know the scale of the nightlife looked very embarrassed when they gathered, only the pupils of the head of the Grand family shrank slightly, and he smiled quietly.
"Newspaper!! My lord, the east gate and the west gate were attacked at the same time."
"Immediately organize personnel to garrison, seal the city gates and prepare to counterattack"
"Your Excellency..... this"
The herald looked embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it.
"What is this, don't go soon, rice bucket! What are you going to eat?"
"But ..... the gates...... Gone."
The atmosphere at the scene dropped to freezing point for a while, and if it weren't for this kind of juncture, the herald would definitely be beaten half to death and thrown out to feed the wild wolves.
"The city gate is no longer sealed....... and there is no one at the east and west gates of the ....., and the army of the new lord is waiting at the main gate... Said that he wanted to talk directly to the four major families"
"What the hell does he want to do!!"
The Dior family is already furious, regardless of that strange explosive method, it is difficult for the new lord to use such a small force to force them to submit!?
The herald swallowed and foamed, and added in a whisper
"He wants you to surrender, or ....."
"Or else?"
"I'll hang you up and hang it on the city wall to dry salted fish."
Boom! .......... good mahogany table was shattered.
Yes, the east gate and the west gate are gone, even a small section of the city wall is gone, this kind of pillar structure of the city wall, as long as the support is blown up, the whole will collapse, but Leo did not wait for the opportunity to attack, but took his ragtag army at the south gate to wait for the greetings of the four families.
When the personnel of the four major families climbed the wall of the south gate, they could only be described as jaw-dropping, the army of the new lord? It's a joke.
Just the dozens of people in front are wearing armor seriously, and the people in the back are simply savages in the mountains, not to mention the tattered ones they wear without armor, what are they in their hands? Kitchen knives, dung forks? Sharpened sticks? He just wants to use these things to fight with the regular army in the city?
The four great families were a little determined, even if there were no city walls and a good defense, such an army would not be able to capture Drifting Snow City if it was doubled.
Several people glanced at each other, and the Leif family nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the attendant immediately handed over a gray hole stone, which was the so-called amplification stone.
"This is Drifting Snow City under the rule of the Iron Country, please retreat quickly, otherwise it will be regarded as an attack on the Iron Country"
The guards on the city wall also set up bows and arrows with his words, ready to attack, but in the face of the cold arrows, Leo smiled, and still pretended to be garlic, first refusing to accept the letter from the new lord appointed by the king, and then intercepting the lord's convoy, the nobles of Drifting Snow City will kill themselves sooner or later because of their obsession with the power in their hands.
It wasn't sooner or later, it was now, Leo took a few steps forward, and Ral followed closely behind, the wind magic in his hand had been chanted, ready to shoot down the arrow.
There seems to be such a joke in the past world, and Leo feels that it is very suitable to describe the current scene.
Are you taking a step forward to try?
Try it!
