"Chapter 160: Mondona's Return"
The battle is almost over, and with the 120 barbarian fighters, 60 regular and 20 sister marksmen, and our guards at my call, the kingdom's infiltration forces and the rebels in the city are no match at all. The troops outside the city www.biquge.info finally got the order to march into the city, and what awaited them was a street full of corpses and groups of prisoners. They looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, they didn't expect that in the past hour or so, such a big thing had happened in Mondona, and they didn't know anything.
"You're late, we've done the work for you." This is what a rugged knight told when he saw the stunned Mondona guard. I was finally able to walk out into the street with peace of mind, and I looked at the corpses and torches scattered in the street, and suddenly I felt a little uncomfortable. This is war, this is the consequences of war. You don't want to see the consequences of war, but you have to accept it.
Some of the windows in the houses on both sides of the street were open, at first only a crack was revealed, but most of them were opened after Mondona's troops shouted "It's all right". I couldn't see the expressions on the faces of the citizens, but I could see their fear. Many people immediately retreated, and many threw up directly at the window. These citizens live in a place where fighting is frequent, but this does not indicate how resistant they are to war. They are ordinary people, and I don't think the war has ever been so close to them in these ten years. Unfortunately, this is only a prelude to the Great War.
"Send our goblins (there are several high-ranking goblins and goblin pitchers in my guard, I just summoned some more) and the troops in the city of Mondona, and capture all the kingdom troops and rebels who are hiding in the city, interrogate them strictly, and be sure to ask about the possible details of this war!" I commanded my knights. For me, Celax has escaped, but he still has quite a few troops left in the city, and if caught in time, it will be very helpful for our future battles.
"My lord, the Archon of Carthusia is here, and he wants to see you." Just then, a fourth-level knight under my command came up and reported to me.
"This is Mondona, his city, of course I want to see him, and invite him to come quickly."
Less than a minute after I finished speaking, I saw a group of people in various clothes walking towards us. Some of them are dressed very formally, some are very messy, and the inside is still the pajamas of this world. However, these clothes are luxurious, which shows their status and status in the city. And the middle-aged man who walked in front of them, wearing a dress similar to that of a Subic nobleman but much simpler, the hair on the top of his head was already a little gray, and he walked unhurriedly, similar to some of the leaders I had seen on TV or in reality before, and I had already guessed his identity.
"Hello, Governor Li Xiaopan, I am Judge Fielde Carter, Governor of Mondona, and it is a great honor to meet you, you are a role model in the hearts of all young people." Carthus led the men up to me, saluted, and then held out a hand.
What a familiar handshake, what a familiar etiquette. I saw the hand, and it was the first time in my world that I had seen a local official use this kind of etiquette in a formal setting. My heart was touched, and at that moment I thought of my hometown, the great eastern country on the blue planet. I was stunned for a moment, but I immediately shook the hand, because I knew it was a matter of etiquette and I couldn't let up.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Archon of Carthus, and I am honored that I received your invitation to a meeting of the Three Cities Alliance, and that I was able to unexpectedly help you defeat the rebels. Are you okay? I asked.
"I'm really ashamed of this." Carthus seemed to be a little emotional, and his expression changed a little, as if he was indeed a little ashamed: "Who would have thought that those traitors would actually find the kingdom to help them, this is really terrible. If it weren't for your help, Mondona's independence would have been over, and I'm very grateful for that. ”
"It's okay, Archon Carthus." I know Carthus is an old fox too, but his current rhetoric doesn't seem to mean to trick me, so I'm a little more relaxed. "That's what I'm supposed to do as part of the Alliance, we're a community, aren't we?" I smiled and said, then offered my opinion at this opportune time: "I think we should hold a new meeting of the Free Cities Alliance after we are done, the kingdom is now eyeing us, we need to be ready, we should discuss this matter properly." "I put forward my idea, and the idea is clear, I want to hold a new meeting of the City Alliance, and then I will put forward a proposal at this meeting that they can't refuse, to integrate the alliance's army, and finally to hold the most important military with all its might, and then the alliance will be equal to ours. I thought that Carter would have agreed to me even if he understood the situation, but what I didn't expect was that the reaction of the officials in Mondona was completely unexpected.
"There is no need for the Three-City Conference, Master Li Xiaopan." Carter and the official behind him looked at each other and replied.
"Why?" I didn't believe my ears at this point, not only because they had rejected my offer, but also because Carter had used a term for me that the League had long since abandoned--- "sage."
"Yes, my lord, there is no need for the meeting, because from this day onwards, you are the supreme consul of Mondona, and all of us and all our troops are at your disposal!" After saying this, Carthus and the officials behind him stood up and bowed to me very respectfully, which is the etiquette when meeting the king.
"Hurry up, why would you do this? I am a member of the Alliance, and I am doing this for the Alliance, not for the sake of this land and rights! "Though my heart was shocked and rejoiced, even though I did not believe what I said. But I quickly stepped forward to help them up, saying something disagreeable.
"Only you can save the Union now, and only you can keep the rights of the people of the Union! The magical defenses could be breached at any moment, but you're more than capable of making up for it! Please do not shirk, your instructions from now on are the way forward for Mondona! Carthus's expression was still serious, but I could already hear the meaning of his words.
The defense system has been breached, the alliance's reliance is gone, and only by relying on my strength can the rights of these magnates continue to be maintained. The League has been in existence for ten years, but these officials have forgotten their vision of independence. For them, as long as the big rules and their rights remain unchanged, even if the other party is a kingdom, it is not impossible to consider.
"It is up to the people of Mondona to decide this matter, and I have no right to decide it myself. But don't worry, no matter what, I'm with you! In this way, I secretly agreed and promised their suggestion, and made another "suggestion".
"In addition, the city council still has to be held. We should bring the Archon of Grandel over and discuss this important matter for the future of the Alliance! I smiled at them.
