As a pretext for sending troops, the noble armies outside the four city gates all found similar excuses, which was nothing more than talking about goblins, which was the safest. They were ready to go until about ten o'clock in the evening, when the agreed time finally came.

Sishanjue made the biggest mistake of his life - to supervise the army himself. He had a good reason, not only was it not trivial to pull out his teeth in the Heavenly Mage Territory, but also the warrior glory in the heart of Xishangjue was at work. Even he didn't realize how eager he was to prove that a warrior was stronger than a mage, and humiliating the Celestial Mage was the best way to do it, and he had to go into battle himself.

He was also the only one of the four Shang Jue who went into battle in person.

He naturally served as the commander of the battlefield of the joint column army. In this regard, Nan Shangjue was extremely vigilant, and North Shangjue scoffed, and as for Dong Shangjue, Nikeyide secretly snickered, thinking that it was great that there were fools willing to volunteer to jump into the cusp.

The wind is restless tonight,

There is a faint inexplicable stuffiness that makes people want to go crazy.

The moonlight appeared and disappeared, making the armor of Xi Shangjue, who was sitting in front of the bonfire, glow with a constantly changing brilliance, between cold and scorching. The bronzed face of the nearly sixty-year-old was as tight as steel, and a few scars told him of his bravery.

Clenching the hilt of the sword hard, Xi Shangjue looked up at the sky: "Is it time?" ”

"Yes, sir."

Really...... For a moment, perhaps out of the battlefield intuition of years of birth and death, Xi Shangjue hesitated about this plan.

No, don't think about it, this battle is not aimed at the Celestial Mage herself, but just the demolition of her territory. As we all know, the Celestial Mage did not care about his territory at all, and was helpless in the face of the Great Migration Event, and then he also became the shopkeeper and threw all the affairs of the territory to his henchmen, and finally even allowed a small chivalrous lord to lead the rioting people to burn the streets and negotiate. In the end, it's just a woman, and it's just rumors that she is brave and ruthless, and if you think about it seriously, the so-called Lord Yuhan Bed not only chose a difficult way to save many civilians in the Vermilion Grey Sparrow incident, but also never fought back in the face of Dai Xingquanli and Nikeyide's multiple provocations. To put it this way...... She's nothing more than a paper tiger.

Burn the city, if the rain and the bed are in a hurry, we will immediately withdraw our troops and enter the second step of the plan.

…… It should be safe.

Thinking of this, Xi Shangjue nodded vigorously, waving his worries out of his mind. Subconsciously, he chose to ignore the fact that the Celestial Mage had killed more than 200,000 enemies on the battlefield in total, and that the treacherous pit killing fire clan army and the lunar moon were always burning. No, in fact, these things were originally incomplete in the first place. Shang Jue has been sitting in a high position for too long, and he doesn't care so much about overseas intelligence.

Xishangjue turned his head and asked the general beside him: "Do you have any information about that woman's henchmen?" ”

"Yes, sir." The general said, "During the day today, Nocton of five people entered the territory, and his whereabouts appeared from time to time, and it was not good for his subordinates to follow him, and Nocton did not leave until the evening, it seems that he was heading to the Fire Clan Continent; Morbian, on the other hand, hurried to the Fire Clan continent in the morning, then lost our people, and returned to the Celestial Palace near the coastline in the evening, looking like they had exchanged with Noxon; The last place where Gran appeared was the city of the Teleportation Emperor, and then she was never seen again, the only certainty was that she did not return to the Celestial Palace or the Northwest Commercial City; Hilde's whereabouts are the most complicated, in order to the northwest suburbs of the Celestial Mage's territory, the mine, the territory, and the royal city, and finally to the remote area in the southwest of the continent, and then he is lost; Sophia has always been in the territory, and she has not set foot in her mansion in the afternoon. ”

Xi Shangjue frowned deeply when he heard this.

He's not a reckless man, but he's not smart enough to see what the hell the quint are up to. Maybe it's okay to see through the enemy's tactics, but it's too reluctant to see through this kind of conspiracy. In short, no one was raising an army or holding a city.

"Hehe, isn't that great? All of that woman's henchmen are out of the territory, and we can turn the world upside down. ”

"What your lord said is very true." The general added, "As for the movements of the others, Xiao Youxiang has always been in the Heavenly Palace, and his subordinates speculate in vain, perhaps because they learned that Yu Han's bed was really seriously injured and went to take care of them; The teleportation emperor, an ally of the rain culvert bed, never made any moves, staying out of the matter, which was quite in line with what the old slippery head had always done; The second prince was dragged in the royal city by the princes for an excuse; Lord Porta led hundreds of militia to camp around the Celestial Palace, seemingly intent on guarding the mortally injured Rain Culvert Bed; No one can save tonight's fire. ”

Xi Shangjue chuckled when he heard this, and everything was as expected.

"Just ......"

"Something to say."

"This morning, two women also walked out of the Heavenly Palace with the five, and they seem to be the new henchmen of the rain culvert."

What the?

Hearing this, Xi Shangjue suddenly frowned, and stood up: "What's the matter?" ”

"A weak little girl of the Fire Clan, who went to the territory of the rain culvert bed alone, hid in the barracks of ordinary soldiers and didn't know what she was doing. The other, even more effeminate, is the Aquarium Beauty...... Quite glamorous. Well, she also acted alone, and we kept tracking her, and found that she reached the riverbank about twelve kilometers south of the territory, and then set up a tent, and so far there has been no movement. ”

Hahaha. He was convinced that the Celestial Mage was truly down-and-out now. Regardless of whether it is seriously injured or seriously ill, in short, there is no one available, and even this kind of weak and impervious foreign girl is used. It seems that this mother-in-law is also running out of gas.

"Lead my war horse, haha!" Xi Shangjue suddenly felt that all his worries were superfluous, if he didn't burn this northwest commercial city to ashes tonight, he turned over his horse, drew his sword and shouted, "All the soldiers listen to the order!" ”

There was silence in the barracks, except for the violent vibration of the air.

"Everything went according to plan! Start the siege! ”

Kill!

The northwestern commercial city of Pinsuri closes at 9 p.m. and has a curfew at 11 p.m. Maybe attacking in front of the gate will save a lot of trouble, but Xi Shangjue has already installed his own people as internal responses, and opening the city gate is not a problem at all. The departure of troops at ten o'clock coincided with the time when the guards in the city were off duty in large numbers, and innocent people were still wandering the streets.

Pretending to kill as many civilians as possible by mistake, so that the possibility that the Celestial Mage would never make a comeback was one of the purposes of the plan.

For the nobles who have their own territories, the number of commoners is directly linked to everything, the source of troops, taxes, and the size of the market, which is why Nikoyid played a trick when he left, taking a large number of people with him. The houses were burned down only to prevent new civilians from moving in the future, and the most important thing was to take advantage of the chaos to kill more people.

I remember that when Nikoyid was promoted to the lord, he left a sentence before leaving: "If you don't go with me, your life will not be saved." "Seriously.
