Chapter 744: Truce
By the time the first rays of sunlight hit the fortress of Lost Canyon, it was already morning. The temperature in the air made the smell of blood permeate the entire battlefield. This smell of blood was different from anything Wei Xuzhi had smelled of blood, and there was a strong stench in the middle of the fishy smell, like the smell of rotting dead fish.
"Quick! Hurry up and get rid of these things! Tolan raised his eyes and saw that Wei Xu was standing in the distance, and hurriedly stepped up his command. The Vigilante's talent tells him that there is also a slight toxin in the smell, and if one is not careful, anyone who smells it can be harmed.
After handing over the command of cleaning up the battlefield to Skrdoff, Tolan walked in the direction of Wei Xu, approaching him, and did not forget to release a Standar spell to remove the remnants of toxins around his body.
"How?" When Wei Xu saw Tolan's first sentence, he directly asked.
"Lord Hui, in this battle, we have successfully reduced them all because we have formed a siege of the undead army, and now we ......" Tolan replied respectfully, but he didn't know that this was not the answer Wei Xu wanted.
"I'm asking about the casualties of the vigilantes......" Wei Xu looked at the old man in front of him helplessly. For the deceased, the bereavement will not be less. Wait, remember to count ......"
Hearing Wei Xu's question, Tolan was obviously shocked. But he soon recovered: "Thank you, Lord Lord, for your concern, although the Warden are killed in battle, their souls will live forever with the glory of Standa." ”
"Okay...... I know that your Standa will not give up on you, so remember to go to Otte's side to inform the pension list when the time comes. Looking at the old man in front of him with a touched, Wei Xu waved his hand helplessly, and swallowed all the comforting words he wanted to say.
The Standar vigilantes are now equivalent to the special forces of the undead army of Evosis, and Wei Xu is distressed if such a person dies. Therefore, after the repeated battles to the death, Wei Xu naturally wanted to appease them, at least to let these vigilantes know that the lords they served still cared about them......
The southern border of the White Ground Territory, Fort Castle.
Basking in the early morning sun, Ufrik gently patted the battlements of the newly built wall, which had been much taller, and frowned, not knowing what to think.
After the previous retreat of the gecko's broken tail, the army of the undead behind never caught up. Maybe he had caused enough damage to them that caused Efcisis to give up on his actions, or maybe it was ...... Is there any other conspiracy they have?
But now, since he and the others have arrived at this Kastaafburg safely, if they come over again, then they don't have to worry about anything at all. The fortress was located between two mountains, and the height of the walls alone was much higher than that of the Winter Castle. Guarding this place is much easier from any point of view than keeping Wintercastle.
"Your Excellency!" Gamma's voice rang out from behind Ufrik.
Ufrik had heard Gamma's footsteps early, and without looking back, he asked, "What's going on now?" ”
"The scouts we sent to reconnoiter the front all returned safely, and none of them had an accident, let alone been controlled." Gamma whispered beside Ufrik, his tone revealing a hint of lightheartedness: "Wintercastle has been burned to ashes, and there are traces of the retreat of the undead army nearby......"
"Did they finally give up?" Hearing this, Ufrik's heart was also suddenly relieved. After all, according to his current situation, although the number of warriors under his command was about to exceed 10,000 after integrating the original troops of Baidi, it was a bit of a void to deal with thousands of undead warriors for nearly 10,000 people. If there is really a fight at that time, if you don't command it properly, you may give all of these 10,000 people to Eposis. After all, that damn undead toxin is not a joke, although he now has an antidote, but this amount is far from the consumption of 10,000 people.
"It should be...... We also received news from the rear that the people of the Half Moon Leader had recaptured the pass of the Broken Rock Canyon, and they also directly took control of Ruichi's Lost Canyon. They've completely blocked the undead army on Rich's side......" After Ufrik sighed, Gamma's voice came again.
"What? They actually fought hard with those undead warriors? What other means is this Wei Xu hiding? Isn't he afraid of the undead toxin? Hearing Gamma's words, Ufrik's heart moved slightly.
"My lord, the news says that the Half Moon Leader hired the Standar Warden to work for them, so they dare to fight against the undead army......
"Ah...... The Vigilant ...... "Ufrik also knew the Vigilant, and what he didn't expect was that the Vigilant, whose memory had faded to a certain extent, could actually help in this kind of battle. "If it's a vigilant, that's understandable. After all, those guys are dedicated to dealing with the undead, and the toxins of the undead army are of little use to them. ”
"So what do we do now?" Gamma looked at Ufrik and waited for him to make his next decision.
"What to do? Build the city, garrison ......" the corners of Ufrik's mouth curled slightly. "Then wait for Ephris to negotiate peace!"
"What? Waiting for Ivsis to negotiate peace? That guy is ......."
"Eposis, she's just using this army of the undead as a tool...... If she really wants to build an empire of the undead, then we will be in a much more difficult situation now......" Ufrik directly interrupted Gamma's question. "And...... Do you think if we don't agree and keep fighting, we will win in the end? If we don't negotiate peace, we can only defend the city in fear until we have enough antidote......"
Ufrik's blunt words directly silenced Gamma. It is true that the undead army is not a small harm, but where do they still have the ability to destroy Ephris now? Even the division of the court is also a disadvantage......
Blue Palace.
Eposis's face had been gloomy for a while, and all the necromancers were cautious and silent, and none of them dared to touch Efcis's head at this time.
"Sataka......" After a long time, the silent Epsis finally spoke.
"What do you command?"
"Send a messenger to the Xueman Linglong Hall...... Tell them I've decided to negotiate and make peace in five days at Lori Sted! ”
"Your Excellency...... Are we going to have a truce? ”
"Hmm...... It's time to stop for a while, and it's time to release the Imperial officials who have been held in custody and let them help me govern my territory...... Well, also, let the bard academy guys be honest and don't make a noise. Also, send people to try to confuse the fact that we use the undead to participate in the battle...... I don't want to end up leaving only the undead in my territory......"
