Chapter 204: Withdrawal

This time the secret escape is a good opportunity, losing this elite army, the strength of the Black Stone Territory will inevitably be greatly reduced, and there will be more benefits leaked out of it at that time.

Not only that, but it can also eliminate its threat to the royal family, which is a few in one fell swoop.

As for the other party to develop again?

A kingdom that has had a lesson once will definitely not let the Blackstone Territory have such a chance.

There are many calculations in his heart, but Mammon never thought of asking for Marlon's life, although he has such and such problems, and even sometimes does not deal with the royal family, leaning towards the temple, but his ability is undoubted.

To be able to develop the Black Stone Collar like this in less than ten years, Ma Long's ability should not be underestimated, and now the orc invasion is the time to use people.

He believes Malone can make a huge difference......

As for Nordington, he was against it purely because of Elijah.

Elijah's special status may have been of little use in the past, but now it may give the kingdom another way to live.

There can be no surprises!

Several people took turns to admonish, hoping that Ma Long would leave with them.

If nothing else, with him, the security will increase a lot.

It's a pity that once Ma Long made up his mind, where was it so easy to waver.

A few people did not hesitate to reason and make powerful statements, but they were useless.

The soft one is not good, Mammon thought about the hard one, but after comparing the strength of the two sides, she gave up very wisely.

As the night grew darker, the sporadic fires in the city gradually faded away, and they turned from darkness to darkness.

A group of men and horses marched from the city lord's mansion to the northern city wall.

The secret passage was not in the castle lord's mansion, and in order to save manpower and consider the concealment, it was opened in a private house not far from the north city wall.

The citizens who can leave the city have already left, and the rest of the people dare not go out when they hear the movement, and now they are in a panic, once they see something they shouldn't see, they will lose their heads!

Citizens have their own survival wisdom.

Everyone's family members have already arranged to send them off, and this time they left, they also took some escort knights, a team of hundreds of people, not huge, quietly, all the way to the north of the city.

In order not to attract the attention of the defenders, the houses where the secret passage is located are still a little far from the city wall.

When the group reached their destination, Wood pushed the door open and entered the house.

He then arranged everything to leave.

"You're really not going with us?" Mammon turned her head and stared at Marlon with a serious look on her face.

Nodding, Ma Long replied softly: "It's impossible for me to give up my subordinates and leave alone." The tone is understated, but it is indescribably firm.

"Ah......" Mammon sighed, "be careful, then. ”

He reached out and handed out a token, "This is Wood's badge, it can take charge of the defenders of the city, if possible, I hope it can help you!" ”

Marlon's eyes lit up and he took the military card from Mammon's hand.

It is heavy to start with, and it is made of metal all over the body, which should be rubbed for a long time, and even has a feeling of pulp.

"Thank you!"

Ma Long's thanks were sincere, no matter what the other party thought before, this helped him in the end.

"If only I could help you!" With that, he turned and went straight into the room.

Nordington looked at Marlon, his expression was a little complicated, his lips squirmed, and finally he only sighed, leaving a sentence of "Protect Ilia!" Then he turned and left.

Fei Lun said "take care" and entered the house.

Behind him, the guards also followed.

Eventually, everyone left, leaving only the Blackstone Collar and the others.

"Looking at their appearance, it seems that we are dead, and I don't know what their expressions will be when we meet again in the future?" John couldn't help but gloat as he watched the passage being covered at the end, and seemed to be looking forward to a future meeting.

"Especially when you find out that we may still be ahead of them, I wonder if you will regret it?" Jack is also not willing to be lonely.

"That's it!"

Ma Long interrupted the conversation between the two, "Let's go and arrange it according to the plan first, we don't have much time." ”

"Yes......"

"Jack." Marlon took out the military card he had just obtained, "You take it and go and gather all the troops in the city." ”

"Yes!"

"John, you take our people to maintain order, don't let them make trouble."

"Good!"

"If you don't obey, ......" Ma Long gestured to touch his neck, "We are saving their lives, if someone makes trouble, directly and forcibly suppress it, no need to spare your hands." ”

"Understood!"

A square in the center of the city, where a large number of people gather.

Although they were very anxious in their hearts, they didn't dare to move, and the scene was unusually quiet.

These were the soldiers whose weapons had been confiscated, and they were picked up from their beds by the knights of the Black Stone Collar, and when they found that they could not find their own commander, they knew that something had happened.

The disappearance of a commander can be said to be an accident, but none of the people in the upper echelons are gone, and even the knights who used to be powerful and lucky do not know where to go.

Lying in bed, being picked up by the people of the Black Stone Collar and gathering here together, this is definitely something big happening.

The hearts of those who don't know what happened are full of fear of the unknown, and they are full of worries about the fate they will face.

It's not that no one wants to resist, but the dozens of corpses left aside have not yet cooled down, and the blood is still flowing, reminding everyone to think twice.

"My lord, everyone has gathered in the square according to your wishes." Jack enters the house to report.

Malone is thinking about his plan in his heart, constantly patching up possible loopholes.

Wen Yan took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's go!" ”

Arriving at the newly built platform in the square, Malone glanced at the abandoned soldiers below, and also saw the corpses that had been thrown aside.

Even in the dark, he could see clearly.

The soldiers below were also watching Malone, and the torches around the high platform provided them with light.

When they saw that the person who came was neither the city lord Fei Lun nor the general Wood, some people immediately changed their faces, and combined with what happened before, they thought of some possibility......

There was a bit of noise in the crowd, but it was quickly overwhelmed by the knights of the Blackstone Collar.

Marlon nodded in satisfaction, ran the lion's roar, and said loudly, "Some of you may have thought about why I am here. That's right, your commander ran away. ”

"What?"

"How so?"

"How can they do that?"

"I have long known that nobles are unreliable!"

"So what do we do?"

The crowd burst into an uproar......

"But don't worry, I have gathered you together to save your lives." Ma Long didn't speak loudly, and he didn't come far, but he completely suppressed the noise of the crowd below, so that everyone could hear it clearly.

That's where the lion's roar comes in!

"Why am I staying?"

Malone didn't care about the crowd below, he only cared about himself and said his own.
