Chapter 6: Bloodless Opening of the City
Needless to say, the fixed portal near the Pure White City has long been taken by Okad.
And now they have also taken the portal of the Norwegian Collar of Murcha......
"What are you looking at?" As the "Musket Battalion" and "Spellbreaker" passed through the giant portal, Wei did not stare at the troops, but looked at the huge stone arch, which seemed to make Levi a little curious.
"It's a lot like a legend from my hometown." Wei said softly. Instead, he remembered the Dark Portal in the classic online game World of Warcraft, which was about the same size as this one—but the portal was bare and didn't even have any decorative carvings.
"I guess in that legend, we weren't playing a good role." Levi said with a smirk.
"After all, I don't want to rule the old tribe, and I don't want to be the Lich King." Wei muttered to himself.
"What's that?"
"Nothing." Only then did Wei realize that he had said what he was thinking from the bottom of his heart.
Calm down, Wei Yuanhe, you won't, he said to himself. Things aren't that bad. I would never ......
As for Levi, the dangerous guy...... Wei made up his mind that this must be the last time he would work with him.
……
Led by the "Musket Battalion" and the "Law Breaker", the mighty army of the dead marched into Murcha Norway. Levy, who is good at necromancy, is naturally the supreme commander of this army. Nicholas also reciprocated the favor for Levi, who was the first to come to him, making Levi the first person outside of himself to have the power to manipulate the army of the dead.
There are two places that can be targeted.
In addition to the legal power ** camp dozens of miles away, there is also the city of Gottlieb, the capital of the territory that is slightly closer. Ninety percent of the grain and grass of the army of the French power was accumulated in the city of Gottlieb.
"Let's go and take the city." Wei had already made a choice.
Even if the undead army and the Okadian front camp were to strike back and forth, it would be a terrible price to annihilate the entire Elrios army. And in order for the vast majority of Elrios' troops to be in the camp to guard against the sudden outbreak of field battles, only a small number of troops remained in the city of Gottlieb.
He still wants to surrender without a fight...... Probably because sooner or later this was his own territory, he didn't want his territory to bleed......
Excessive weakness also fails to demonstrate the skill of the Federated heirs. Wei was struggling to find a balance at this time.
……
The defenders of Gottlieb were only two thousand men. But the highest-ranking person in the city at this moment is not any of the generals of Elrios, but Sigur of the "Wild Rose".
Sige, a junior mage of the Blue Ocean, is shrewd and good at fighting, and with the help of magic props, he can even exert his strength close to the advanced level of the Blue Ocean, and is one of the strongest mercenaries in the Continental Mercenary Guild. In this war, only some old and sick people were left in Gottlieb City, and even the burden of maintaining law and order fell entirely on the "Wild Roses" of the Mercenary Guild.
Sigurt is also one of the first masters that the girl met when she crossed into this world. By this time he was married to his fiancée, Kirvis, the guild in Gottlieb.
on the city walls.
"'Lawbreakers', 'Musket Battalion', and 'Necro Troops'......"
Sigurt understands that the lion fights the rabbit with all his might.
Okard is the lion, and Gottlieb is the fragile rabbit.
Looking at the growing number of Okad soldiers under the city, Sieg shook his head. The fall of the Giant Portal left Gottlieb City completely exposed to Ocard's direct attacks.
And as long as the opponent relies on the numerical superiority to attack, he may not even be able to wait for the support of the large battalion......
Even if he has a combat power close to the blue ocean level, the opponent has "Eternal Blood" and "Pale Moon", which is enough to completely contain him.
Seeing that the enemy army had completely surrounded the city, Sigurt knew that the city could no longer be defended.
The tragic plight of the dwarven capital came to the mercenary's mind.
No.
The city is its second home. It must not be allowed to suffer such a catastrophe!
He dodged and disappeared from the city.
……
Mercenary Guild.
Cervis was anxiously waiting for her husband to return. A girl with short brown ear-length hair was beside her.
"It's all right," said the girl gently, "we'll be able to keep going." ”
"Thank you, Wendy." Cervis barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
This girl is naturally the student president of Solidar Academy, Wendy, who fled from the pure white city? Stewart too.
With a soft creak, the door of the Mercenary Guild opened. Seeger, dressed in white, walked in.
"How's it going?" Cervis stood up eagerly.
"It's an army of the undead, and there are more than 10,000 out there," Sigurd said in a low voice, "and counting." Leading the way are 'Eternal Blood' and 'Pale Moon'. ”
Cervis slumped back in her chair. There was dead silence in the room.
She's not the kind of woman who doesn't understand anything. She knows it all too well...... What Seeger means by that.
The fall of Gottlieb is just around the corner!
That's when it happened.
"Please hand me over." Wendy? Stuart Horan stood up.
"Wendy?" Stervis opened her mouth wide, "What are you talking about?" ”
"If the undead fall into this city, I am afraid that this place will become the death of one in ten living people," Wendy said calmly, "I am not an official, nor am I a 'wild rose', but I am also willing to give my life to protect those innocent people, just like ...... My father. ”
"Silly boy! Even if you ......"
"I'm under pressure today, and I've broken through to the Blue Sky Elementary," Wendy said, "The sixteen-year-old Blue Sky Elementary must be of use to Okade." Let me go. Take me as an exchange for the Holy See and negotiate with them...... In exchange for the safety of the people. ”
Wendy said it extremely tragically.
But Sieg still caught the flash of cunning in Wendy's eyes.
Say?!
"Uh-huh......!"
The young mercenary couldn't help but clench his fists.
He had already guessed that the "White City Mages" who had fled to Gottlib in the afternoon might not all be loyal to Elrios. However, he had no reason to refuse their defection by nature. Especially the most respected of them, Wendy, the daughter of the archon Stewart, he directly handed over to his wife to take care of.
Stewart's old fox is cunning, but he's absolutely loyal to Elrios......
"Sig?" Seeing that her husband bowed his head and was silent, Cervis said, "You should also persuade ......."
"No need." Sieg shook his head.
"Sig!" Cervis was dumbfounded, "Do you want to ......?"
"I'll go with her to negotiate with the Eternal Blood," said Seeger, his face sinking as if it were dripping, and Gilvis had never seen her husband look like that, "please let me protect her." We'll ...... There will be good news. ”
……
Negotiations went well.
In the presence of the "Eternal Blood" and the "Pale Moon", Wendy fell to her knees and begged to trade her life for the lives of the people of Gottlieb. Levi's face was full of shock (Eternal Blood couldn't see his expression while wearing a mask), and he helped Wendy to her feet, saying that he had never meant to harm civilians on French territory.
"In the French fighting, we didn't target civilians," Lévy said, "and in the pure white city, only a few people who helped defend the city were attacked." We will never hurt ordinary people for no reason. Therefore, the two of them did not have to exchange anything for the safety of the city. We will definitely keep it safe. ”
Nicholas's purpose was to deter, not to forge a blood feud with everyone. I have to say that he calculated the mentality of the Elrios who had been peaceful for a long time very accurately......
After hearing the news of Wendy's breakthrough to the Blue Sky Division, the two geniuses took turns to persuade the new golden generation to submit to Ocard. It wasn't until the apparition of Speaker Nicholas himself came down and invited Wendy that Wendy finally bowed her head and said that she was willing to serve the newborn Elrios, but never Okade.
Speaker Nicholas naturally fully accepted her terms.
Seeger knows...... Soon, the story of her "exchanging her life for the whole city, and the speaker himself treated her with courtesy" would spread throughout the continent.
The old fox died trying to protect his lair. And what he was thinking about was a little fox who was even more hypocritical and cunning......
……
In the wee hours of the morning, an hour after Sig and Wendy left the city, Gottlieb officially declared a bloodless city. The Errios guards who tried to resist to the end were all subdued by Okad.
And just as Wei had promised, the army of the dead did not enter the city.
Returning to the city with Wendy, Sigurt went to the Mercenary Guild on his own. That morning, it was discovered that Sieg and his wife had disappeared from the city.
Two rank-and-file soldiers reported the news to Wei. Contrary to their expectations, Wei was not angry.
"Everyone has their own ambitions," he shook his head helplessly, "the 'Wild Rose' can't make any waves...... Let him go. ”
