Chapter XVII - Alive
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Because of the dust, Lichard, like the other surviving elven soldiers, was coughing violently, but unlike them, while Lichardt was choking on the dust and coughing, he was still using special powers to control the Dark Cursed Ones, allowing them to take advantage of the opportunity for Lu Ming's people to hide behind the battlement wall, climb the city wall, and surprise them.

Soon, however, Lycart heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and he could sense that one of the ghostly cursed people he could control was missing!
It didn't take his eyes to see for Lichardt to know that something had knocked down the walls of his dark cursed.
He originally thought that Lu Ming had gotten up from behind the battlement wall and cut down the Cursed One, but when he heard the sound of more and more heavy objects falling to the ground, he realized that Lu Ming was not the only one on the city wall who was killing the Cursed One.
So after learning about this, Lykat called all the Dark Cursed Ones back, and at the same time, Medivin Ames, who was far away from here, also used rudimentary wind magic to blow away the dust that filled the battlefield.
At this moment, Likat found that the elven soldiers under his command who could be used had already lost one-third of his rivalry with Lu Ming at this moment, and the morale of the remaining soldiers had disappeared.
"Damn it!" Seeing that it was impossible to capture Mordred Fortress today, Likat couldn't help but grit his teeth and glared at Lu Ming on the city wall.
However, it made him know what had knocked his dark cursed man to the wall.
That's more than fifty cheetah-like puppeteers with sharp claws!
Licat glanced at the soldiers on his side, and then at Lu Ming and the others on the city wall, who were looking at him coldly, gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and then snorted coldly, turned around and left here with the Gloomy Cursers, going to rest for a while and prepare for the next attack.
"Let's go!!"
Hearing Lichard's order, they didn't really want to attack the city, but the elven soldiers who were forced to attack the city immediately picked up their wounded and quickly retreated with Lichard, the Dark Curser, and Mediven Arms and other dark forces.
In this regard, Lu Ming and the others did not take this opportunity to attack, but watched them leave.
There are two reasons why there is no attack on the mixed army of Alpha and the Nether, who are already defeated, one is that Licat's half-Netherworld cursed guy is too strong, and if he forcibly launches an attack, he may not be able to kill thousands of people, not to mention the Netherworld Curser who can spit out cursed death clouds. The second reason is that the elven reinforcements have arrived in the small city, and when Likat and the others go back, they will inevitably have a big battle with them!
Therefore, Lu Ming and the others did not launch a surprise attack, so that Licut's army was defeated, after all, instead of continuing to fight with them, it was better to let them fight among themselves, so as to consume the strength of the elf clan and the darkness, and let Lu Ming and the others get a little respite.
Seeing Likat and the others leaving, Lu Ming and the others arranged the work of reconnoitring the enemy army, and then went back to rest.
It's just that Lu Ming, Miral, and Raman Lace just returned to the room when they saw Kate sitting by the window, looking into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Do you say, 'Will my mother survive that man's scheme?" Probably finding that Lu Ming and the three of them had returned to the house, Kate suddenly turned around and asked them.
"I don't know. But I think it's hard for her to survive its conspiracy. After all, she is too strong, and for so many years, she has no intention of passing on the throne to your sister, so the nobles are very disgusted with her, and hope that the person in power is a little softer than your mother! Lu Ming said to Kate while taking off his dusty armor and clothes.
"Is that so......" Hearing Lu Ming's words, Kate paused slightly, and then looked out the window again, but this time, she was not thinking about her mother, the empress of the elven race, but her two sisters on the battlefield of Tartarus and Amp respectively.
Looking at Kate like this, Lu Ming and the others didn't say anything, but after locking the door, they took a shower with a large wooden barrel, washed off all the dust and sweat on their bodies, and then changed into clean clothes, ready to go to Touris and others to discuss the next step.
But what people didn't expect was that Kate took the initiative to start helping Lu Ming get dressed, as if she had already accepted her fate.
This surprised Miral slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what you're doing?" You're a ......."
"I know!" Without waiting for Miral to finish, Kate interrupted her and said angrily: "Anyway, I'm just a bargaining chip to win over other people's giveaways, so why should I do things for that family that only wants power!?" Why can't I speak for myself! Why should you go and be abused, beaten and killed by others for the sake of that family's face!? β
"......" Hearing Kate's words, Miral was silent, because Kate just wanted to live, and didn't want to be tortured by Lu Ming or others......
"If I really just took you as a trophy, you would have been given away a long time ago." Stretching out his hand and touching Kate's head, Lu Ming said with a light smile.
"......" Hearing Lu Ming's words, Kate looked at Lu Ming in a daze, and after a while, she said: "I can give you the deployment of troops and the main combat strategy of the Alpha Empire, but you have to promise me one thing!" β
"What's the matter?"
"I hope you don't send me back to Alpha, I want to stay with you, at least so I don't have to worry about dying at the hands of my sisters and mother......"
Hearing Kate's words, Lu Ming couldn't help but think of what he saw and heard when he was in the imperial capital, the royal family did not recognize the six relatives for the sake of power. So it makes sense that Kate wants to stay with his soldiers and live in peace.
So when he was persuading her before, Lu Ming had been tempting her with the condition that she could live in peace.
"Yes!"
-----------------------------------
During the night, Licat was escorted by several sword masters to an elven general, and was kicked down by the elves twice, kneeling in front of the elven general. Like him, who was forced to kneel, was Medivin Arms.
Just as Lu Ming and the others thought, as soon as Licat's army returned to the vicinity of the small city, it was attacked by the main army of the elven race.
Although they also managed to kill seven or eight thousand Elven soldiers under the desperate counterattack of the Cursed Cursers and the curse of the Cursed Clouds, causing heavy losses to the Elves, he and Medivin Arms were captured by the Elven General's men who had exhausted their energy and magic power.
Looking at Lycutel and Medivin Ames, who were no different from monsters, the commander-in-chief of the elven race's last main army to attack Erepos, the elven duchess Taftiel Casranka, asked coldly, "Monska, you killed that guy, right?" β
"Yes." Knowing that the other party already knew everything and had nothing to deny, Licat nodded and said, "It was we who pushed the soldiers of General Monska Wicktutassar from behind when the Erepersians' trickery made them suspicious of them, so that the conflict between them broke out, so that we could make a profit!" β
Hearing this, General Tafertiel couldn't help but glance at Licat lightly, and then threw out an olive branch and said to him and Medivin Ames: "Now I give you two a chance, whether you want to survive or want to be executed by me now, it's up to you to choose!" β
β......ββ......β
Taftiel got up from his seat, walked around Lycutt and Medivan, and said, "It was my and the other two dukes' idea to let Eldridge come to Alpha, which means that you can survive in the Alpha Empire because we want to give you a way to live." If you or Eldridge go too far, we're more than capable of taking out all of you, including Eldridge! β
"It can't be! Lord Eldridge's strength is not comparable to yours at all! When Madison Arms heard Tafertiel's slander against Eldridge, she screamed.
To this, Tafertiel just sneered and did not say anything.
But Lichardt thought of a possibility at this time, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that you have fireless ashes on your hands?" β
"Hahahahaha~!! Clever! Tapfertiel laughed and tapped Lycart's forehead with her slender finger, and then said, "Do you think our elves of Alpha are fools? Without making any preparations, an evil force like yours will be brought into the country, and you will be given a territory to develop freely? β
"Nope! On the contrary, we are well prepared to deal with Eldridge, and the weapons to rid you of the monsters of your shadowy forces! Suddenly, Tarfertier's expression became gloomy.
"I can tell you why Eldridge does not allow, and does not dare to let your people, eat our Alpha nobles! That's because he knows that every one of our nobles in Alpha is holding more than two fireless ashes at home! Once you make a move on the nobles of our Alpha, we release so much of the fireless ashes, and then what will happen to your Eldridge, your Shadow Sage? β
β......ββ......β
Looking at the silent Lycart and Medivan, Tafertiel reached out and patted them on the shoulder, and as they listened to the sweat, he suddenly said, "Do you still think that your Eldridge, you Shadow Sage, are amazing?" He, like the other pay-grooms, was afraid of the fireless ashes, and he was afraid of death! So now you choose! Will you continue to follow your Eldridge, or will you choose to follow me and Her Highness the Grand Queen? β
Hearing this, both Licat and Medivan couldn't help but swallow their saliva. The two of them never thought that the elven race, who had always been arrogant, would be so cautious that they would plan everything as early as when Eldridge had not yet entered the Alpha Empire!
Hearing this, both Lycart and Medivan understood that the reason why Eldridge and Yu Yu were able to enter the Alpha Empire was only because the nobles wanted to replace the empress with a weaker empress, rather than the reckless elven empress who continued to sit in that seat.
And Eldridge and his seclusion are just weapons that the nobles don't want to get their hands dirty, so they bring in weapons that are only useful to kill the Empress. Once the Empress has been eaten by Eldridge, it is time for the nobles to turn their backs on the Church and Eldridge!
So for the most primitive desire in their instincts, 'to live', Lycutt and Medivan chose to betray Eldridge, the Netherworld Sage, the salary king of the Netherworld Church, and became the two dogs of the Duchess of Taftière!
"I'm Lycutt Devensland......" "I'm Mediven Arms......"
"Willing to be loyal to you, honorable master, Duke of Casranka! This loyalty, unswerving! β
Lycart and Medivan knelt on the ground and swore to Tavertière that they would never betray her!
Seeing this, Tafertiel couldn't help but laugh and said, "Now I give you the task, that is, to control all those ghostly cursers. I hope that tomorrow when my army attacks Fort Mordred, you will be able to get them to do the same thing as they do today! It's just that I don't want to see them fill the moat with living elves! Do you understand? β
"Yes, sir!" Compared to Eldridge's insidiousness, Tarfertielle gave the two Lichards a more terrifying feeling, so the two of them did not dare to refuse any of her requests.
"Very well, then I'll wait for tomorrow when we have a banquet in the Mordred Fortress, which is ten thousand times better than this dilapidated town!" Seeing that Lichardt and Medivan agreed to their request without hesitation, Taftiel smiled and said a word, and then left the place, accompanied by her two personal guards.
In this way, Licatt and Medivan breathed a sigh of relief. The momentum on Taftiel's body was too much like a poisonous snake, and the two of them couldn't breathe at all. Even Licat, an old monster who doesn't know how many years he has lived, is the same!
After taking a few breaths on the ground, Lycutt and Medivan got up from the ground and swaggered out of the room where the two of them had been humiliated, and went to the place where the Elven magically imprisoned the Dark Cursed were located, and used the power of their former masters to control the Dark Cursed Ones for their current masters.
At the same time, Taftiel was arranging for spies to spy on Lichardt and Medivan at all times, lest the two of them play any tricks!
"Lord Duke, if you don't believe them, why do you use them?" Seeing that Tafertiel didn't believe in the two of Lichard, but used a lot of effort to recruit the two of them, her adjutant was slightly puzzled and couldn't help asking.
"You know what!? These two guys are ambitious, and if they are put to good use, they will be a weapon when we counter Eldridge! Moreover, both of them are from the Principality of Erepos, although they have already betrayed Erepos, they still know some secret ways! Once we have conquered Mordred, they will be our guides, allowing us to make a direct attack on Agamemnon as quickly as possible! β
