Chapter 670: Containment
Just a few hours ago.
"We can't just let the vicious woman of Efcisis control the Empire!" In the secret room, the Great Elder looked at the few elders beside him and said fiercely.
"But now we are all infected with that guy's soul toxin, and many times we have to do whatever she wants us to do!" The only female elder among the several said with a gloomy face.
These words directly plunged the scene into an embarrassment. The authority of the Senate? It's ridiculous that Efcisis is so unaware that he doesn't know how to use to secretly control all of his people, and the current Senate is completely in name only!
"I remember that the new officer of Hawkeye was an old comrade-in-arms of Turius...... We may be able to ......" The second elder spoke at this time, and his face was very gloomy.
"Are you crazy? This spell is a soul toxin that has been lost for many years, and if we do anything to reveal the situation of Eposis, the toxin will explode! The third elder listened to the second elder's proposal and said angrily.
"We don't tell that Hawkeyed Epsis that he is in full control of the Senate, we just need to pretend to leak our arrangements to him inadvertently......" The second elder gently clutched the glass of water in his hand, and his tone was terrifyingly low.
"This ......" Hearing the second elder say this, the third elder couldn't find anything wrong with such an arrangement for a while, the toxin was still relatively mechanical, and theoretically speaking, there would be no mistakes in such an arrangement.
"We can also get a few more patrols on the outside of the city without reporting to Efcis...... Fortunately, at a critical time, I helped Tulius ......" There was a proposal from the second elder, and the great elder also said as if he had suddenly realized at this time. "We can only Iturius now, hoping that he will discover Epsis's schemes and give him more chances to escape...... If Tulius can escape, he will definitely go to the Snowman Territory to find Baglouf, and Baglouf still has a certain affection for the Empire, he will definitely not watch Evsis usurp the power of the Empire like this! ”
……
"What?! Tullius actually found out! "In the council hall of the Senate, Ephris sat on the throne with a gloomy face." Launch the second plan and let them get their hands on the Imperial Guards on the city walls! ”
"Okay, my lord......" Next to her, a black-robed mage bowed slightly, and then a dark energy mass condensed in his hand. From the energy group, you can faintly see a few figures sneakily opening a door, and a group of Imperial soldiers neatly walked out of the back door. They walked up the stairs to the city wall, and the guards on the wall saw their comrades from a distance, and at first did not pay much attention. They just thought that today's changing of the guard was brought forward. However, after this group of "soldiers" passed by the Imperial guards, their vision was wrong, and a puff of green smoke suddenly rose from the place where the normal Imperial soldiers were illuminated by the sun, but this situation ended quickly, and the soldiers continued to pace slowly on the city wall, "serious" patrol......
The undead warriors of these layers did not have much constraint on Tulius's escape, after all, none of the officers selected by Tulius rushed out of the sea of corpses and blood, and the quality of all aspects of combat skills naturally did not have to be said. After a few rounds of grappling to get rid of the more than a dozen undead warriors in front of them, they already had an extra shield and a long sword in their hands. More than a dozen men, under the command of Tulius, formed a shield formation and advanced out of the city at a slow pace.
Finally, the city wall was close, looking at the armor of those familiar imperial soldiers on the city wall, Tulius finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I am the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Legion, Tulius, open the door quickly!" ”
But as soon as these words were shouted, a cold light came straight towards the door of Turius. Tulius only had time to tilt his head slightly, but the edge of the arrow left a deep black mark on his cheek.
"Protect the General!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Governor Riggie directly ordered everyone to form a circle, and shields were used around and above to protect turtle shells.
In the next second, arrows fell on the tall city wall as if it were raining, hitting the shield with a clanging sound. At this moment, the hearts of all the officers of the Tulius faction fell to the bottom one by one. There is an interception in front, and there are pursuers in the rear. Now this situation is at the end of the road!
......Just when everyone present was in despair, the rain of arrows suddenly stopped, and the closed city gate was suddenly opened.
"General Tulius, what the hell is going on inside? Why are they going to attack you? On the city wall, an officer leaned out and asked in a loud voice to the few people below.
"Eposis, with the power of the undead, has taken control of the Senate, and now most of the Hawkeye Guards have been replaced with undead warriors! They're hunting us now......" Regie shouted as she commanded a dozen officers to escort Tulius through the gate. "Close the door! Those Hawkeyes in the back are all undead warriors! ”
"What?" The officer was obviously a little confused by Ricky's answer, but in the instinct of obeying the order, he still subconsciously gave the order to close the city gate......
"They actually broke through the city gates?" In the hall, Eposis, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, listening to the news from the black-robed mage beside him, and his eyes looked at the few elders beside him. "Shouldn't the elders say something to me?"
Originally, his own people had already completed the occupation of the city wall, but a team suddenly came out halfway, which had to make Evsis wonder if these old fellows were still doing something in it.
"Ah...... Lord Efosis, I just remembered that in order to allow all of your men to take over the internal defense of our Senate, we had the team that was originally responsible for today's defense temporarily withdrawn...... Maybe they happened to run into Turus and them when they retreated......" The Great Elder spoke as if he had remembered for a moment when Efcis's cold gaze came.
"What? You're actually letting that Imperial Guard force withdraw from this direction?! Evosis, listening to the Grand Elder's reply, was angry. They must have done it on purpose! Must have deliberately stumbled himself here! But the problem was that she could clearly feel that the Great Elder was not panicking about herself, so everything seemed as if it was a coincidence.
"Your Excellency...... The rest of the gates in the plan are now under construction, and the road on that side is completely inaccessible to the Imperial garrison base......" Seeing that Efsis was about to erupt, the Great Elder replied with a strange expression.
"So you're blaming me for delaying the construction of the city with a few orders from before?! You ......" Evsis was about to say something, but the Great Elder's next words silenced her.
"Your Excellency...... The top priority now should be how to get Tulius back as soon as possible...... We can't just let him run back to the Kas Delta...... Now that we're arguing here for a second longer, the probability of Turlius being or, by one point......"
"Humph!" Evosiss glanced at the Great Elder coldly, snorted coldly and turned around without looking at him anymore. If it weren't for the fact that I were going to use these old guys now, their lives would have been gone!
"Order, let the troops stationed in the stronghold outside the city immediately start a siege, and make sure that Tulius can't go back alive!"
