The location of Mondona is in our southeast direction, about a 5-day walk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe land there is the best in the Union, and the towns there are among the richest in the Union. With a sufficient population and generous finances, Mondona became the capital of the region during the kingdom period, and after the establishment of the Free Cities Alliance, Mondona also became the most powerful city in the alliance, so most of the meetings of the Three Cities Council were held in Mondona. For the Free Cities Alliance, without Mondona, the entire alliance would simply collapse.

I hadn't been to Mondona before, but I was tired of hearing about Mondona's name. This is not only because of Mondona's wealth and power, but also because of the high degree of "short-sightedness" and selfishness of the city's leadership group. Actually, I don't really have a good impression of Mondona, and I don't care about the heavy taxes imposed on the towns under my rule when the robbers attack. As for the city of Amur, which is its ally, no real reinforcements were sent until the Amur was occupied. I've always been unhappy about negotiating with the bad leaders in the city. If it weren't for the fact that we're so strong now that they don't have a chance to refuse, I wouldn't want to get involved in the of these alliances.

But it has to be said that Mondona is indeed the largest city in the Alliance, and from a long distance, you can see the tall buildings and magic towers in the city, the walls are tall and large, and the buildings are well planned, more than one level stronger than Amur.

"That's the difference between a big city and a small city." Looking at the tall, sturdy stone walls, the dense defenses at the head of the city, and the many orderly Mondona guards, I knew why the Legion had not been able to take Mondona for ten years.

We didn't have a lot of people, but we were very strong. Especially the prince, even if he doesn't fly, it will give people a strong sense of oppression. So when we were still a long way from the city, the soldiers at the head of Mondona were already full of bows and arrows, and even the defensive magic array was activated.

Having been promoted to a trainee mage, I felt the defensive barrier over the city like a thin film. The first impression I had of that barrier was that it was solid, and I could feel that the defensive power was so strong that even Louie, a high-level sky battle master, couldn't break through it. This is what the Alliance's so-called magical defense mechanism really looks like, and this is the vast magical legacy left over from the Kingdom period.

This magic barrier can well resist the attacks of strong people above the battle master, and sufficient defensive equipment can also deal with low-level opponents well, which provides a very good guarantee for the alliance and is the biggest capital for the alliance and the kingdom to fight. Of course, there is also a huge problem with this system, that is, the magic array is divided into three parts, and each city is breached, and the effect will be greatly reduced. Since the fall of Amur, the magical defenses of the other two cities have been weakened by thirty percent.

"Guards of Mondona, we are the escort of the Archon of Tibetan Soldier City, Lord Xiao Pan * Li, who has come to participate in the Council of the Three Cities." Mei Long took a step forward and shouted in the direction of the city with all his strength.

"Mondona is in a state of emergency right now, we need to see enough evidence, otherwise we won't open the door." There was an echo from the other side of the city.

"Why is Mondo still in a state of emergency?" Meron and I were puzzled, for the Legion had now failed, and although the invasion of the kingdom was near, it was not their usual behavior with Mondona's usual style. And from the tone of the other party's voice, I could tell that they were surprised by our arrival, which was a little wrong.

However, out of the spirit of respect, I asked Meron to show the letter, and the door to Mondona was opened.

"Welcome to Mondona, Lord Archon. I was a little offended just now, and I hope to forgive me. "The officer in charge of the city's defense came to apologize to us and was very respectful.

"The Legion has been defeated, why hasn't the state of emergency been lifted?" I asked.

"The order of the consul is said to be afraid of the counterattack of the legions, and now our troops are in the city in case of accidents."

"The legion simply does not have the strength to counterattack, this reason is too far-fetched." I frowned and asked tentatively, "Is there any news from the kingdom?" ”

"Kingdom?" The officer shook his head: "What news will happen to the kingdom." My lord, is something wrong? He asked, a little nervously.

"It's nothing, it's not easy for us to hear from the kingdom over there." I made a prevarication and headed into town.

"It's strange that they don't know anything about the kingdom, and the rulers of Mondona must be hiding a lot of things." I told Mei Long this.

"That's right, but it's a pity that none of us have been here, so we can't see anything too obvious." Mei Long said: "I can only act at the opportunity, my lord." ”

"Welcome to Mondona, Lord Archon." While we were talking, a somewhat thin-looking Mondona officer approached us with a group of burly soldiers.

"I am Miron Pobot, Adjutant of the City and Governor of Mondona, and I have been sent by the Archon to meet you." The tall, thin man bowed and said very respectfully.

"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Pobot, and I wonder where the Archon of Carthusian is?" I replied with a salute and asked.

"Ah, Lord Archon suddenly became ill the day before yesterday, so I can't come to greet you in person, so I hope you will forgive me." Milon Pobot replied very simply, but I clearly saw her eyes rolling.

"In that case, let Mr. Pobot lead the way and take us to see the Archon Carthus." I said this on purpose.

"I'm very sorry, my lord, the Archon of Carthusia needs to recuperate now, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to meet people, please go to the mansion with me first, and wait until tomorrow the Archon is better before going." The guy prevaricated.

"It's okay, I'm sorry for you."

In this way, we quietly followed him to the mansion, and naturally passed through the bustling streets of Mondo on the way. But I noticed that the guy in front of me had been walking away from people, and the residents of the neighborhood were looking at our army with curiosity and seemed completely unprepared.

.............

In the mansion, Mei Long and I sat in chairs, discussing today's strange events.

"Mondona's message seems to be lagging behind a lot, and the Archon is suddenly ill, which is not right." I told Mei Long.

"Yes, sir." Mei Long nodded, his expression very serious: "A deputy city defense officer and interior officer, it is a bit unreasonable to let him come to greet him, and the whole of Mondona does not seem to know that we are coming. ‘’

"That's right, Merlon, and most importantly, which Poporter keeps calling me Lord again, it's not the Union's habit. And his team of soldiers is also a bit eccentric, their military posture and appearance are more like the direct troops of Subic under Kuba. "I'm also very confused at this time.

At this time, a goblin walked in and tinkered for a while, and Mei Long's expression became more cautious:

"Your Excellency." Mei Long stood up: "Our goblins have observed, the rooms of our troops are scattered, and there are no representatives of Amur in the mansion at all!" ”

"Mei Long, something happened to Mondo!" At this time, even I noticed the problem.
