Chapter 109: Plan
After a moment of conversation.
Lu Yu also had a general understanding of what was happening in Baicheng during this time.
Just a month ago, two major events occurred in the White City, causing panic among the residents of the White City.
The first major event was Miss Sarah's runaway.
And the reason why Sarah ran away from home was also because her brother Archduke Wood did not let her leave the castle, and Sarah's purpose of leaving the castle was very simple, she wanted to help those who were displaced by the war, for Archduke Wood, he did nothing to blame, but apparently Archduke Wood underestimated Sarah's determination.
Although Sarah successfully left White City with Hilton, the two immediately fell into a predicament, because not long after the two left White City, they were discovered by Duke Borg's men, and then they were chased and killed all the way, but fortunately, the two were lucky to meet Lu Yu and others, and they were rescued.
If the first thing just made the residents of the White City panic a little, then the second thing made the residents of the White City completely panic.
Then the second major event that made the residents of the White City panic was that not long after Miss Sarah ran away from home, there was a rumor in the White City, that is, Archduke Wood suddenly fell ill, and the condition was very serious, and he was so sick that he was about to die!
When they first heard this rumor, the civilians in the White City still scoffed at this rumor, but it didn't take long for the civilians in the White City to find out that something was wrong, first of all, the White Castle where Grand Duke Wood lived suddenly became martial law, and at the same time, the servants in the White Castle were also restricted from leaving the White Castle, and the walls of the White Castle were also full of soldiers.
When the people in the White City saw the strange situation in the White Castle, the people in the White City also believed more and more in the news of the Grand Duke's illness.
As the situation in the White City was confused due to rumors of the Grand Duke's illness, the nobles of the White City also banded together to meet the Grand Duke, who had been living in seclusion in the White Castle for a long time.
However, the White Castle did not respond to the nobles' request, and everyone waited for several days without waiting for any response from the White Castle. At this time, the nobles in the White City also discovered that something was wrong.
Just three days after the nobles made their request, many of the nobles in the White City began to pack up their possessions and leave the White City with their families. Seeing the performance of the nobles, the merchants and commoners also found out that something was wrong, and a large number of merchants and commoners also began to pack up their belongings and flee the White City.
And seeing the fleeing crowd in the White City, the long-reclusive Grand Duke made his voice again.
With the order of the Grand Duke, the army within the White City began to operate.
Under the orders of Archduke Wood, the army in the White City set off quickly, chasing the people who wanted to escape, and when they saw the army in the White City, the fleeing civilians were completely panicked, knowing that they were not as fast as the army.
Just as the civilians stood in despair waiting for the army to capture them, they realized that the army had not seen them, ignoring the civilians and galloping towards the merchants and nobles who were walking ahead.
Then the commoners saw the army ignoring them, and when they saw the ranks of the nobles and merchants, they quickly took up their weapons and began to mercilessly kill the merchants and nobles.
Seeing the scene in front of them, all the commoners breathed a sigh of relief, because they knew that Grand Duke Wood did not mean to kill them, and what Grand Duke Wood really wanted to kill were those nobles and merchants.
With the killing of a troop, heart-rending screams rang out one after another on the plains outside Baicheng for the next few days.
All the merchants and nobles who tried to escape were brutally killed outside the White City, and all their possessions were confiscated by the Grand Duke of Wood.
Although Grand Duke Wood made a very cruel move, Lu Yu did not see the angry look on Roger's face when he learned the news.
You must know that Roger is very sensitive in some aspects, so Lu Yu curiously asked Roger about his thoughts on what Archduke Wood did this time.
After hearing Lu Yu's question, Roger replied.
"Grand Duke Wood has done nothing wrong! If he kills even civilians, then he is a tyrant, but if he only kills nobles and merchants, then he has done nothing wrong! You must know that both nobles and merchants have a certain obligation to help the city lord protect their city, they enjoy the power, but do not want to fulfill the obligation, then they deserve to be killed! ”
For the nobles and merchants in the other world, they can gain a lot of power in the city where they live, but when they enjoy power, they also have to pay corresponding obligations. For the nobles and merchants, there were no obligations that they were required to do in ordinary life, because the time when they were required to fulfill their obligations was usually the most dangerous time in the city, and only when the city was in real crisis would the nobles and merchants be needed to fulfill their obligations.
And it is clear that there are people everywhere who only want to enjoy power and do not want to fulfill their obligations. In modern times, it may only be necessary to go to jail or pay reparations, but in the Otherworld, it is not easy to escape responsibility, and in the Otherworld, only the cost of one's life can compensate for what has been done.
With the massacre of Archduke Wood, the remaining nobles and merchants in the White City also understood their situation. You must know that although many nobles and merchants have fled before, it is obvious that there are still many nobles and merchants with evil intentions in the White City, although they want to escape very much, but obviously they still want to have a bird to test the price of doing these things.
Although there are still many people who want to escape among the nobles and merchants in the White City, there is obviously a bad side and a good side, among these nobles and merchants, there are still many nobles who are loyal to the Grand Duke, as long as the Grand Duke of Wood makes good use of these nobles now, then the chaos in the White City Principality is believed to be resolved soon.
After the nobles and merchants finished speaking, then we have to talk about the commoners who are still living in the White City, many of them may have left the White City, but there are still many civilians who have no way to leave the White City for various reasons, obviously there are still many of the remaining commoners who are loyal to the Grand Duke, and these people are obviously the same as those nobles and merchants who are loyal to the Grand Duke, and they are all good winning weights of the Grand Duke of Wood in this battle.
After everyone finished discussing, Lu Yu said to everyone.
"Now that you know all about the form within the White City, do you have any ideas?"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Roger said on the side.
"Judging from the rumors that have been circulating in the city before, I think it should have been arranged by Duke Borg!"
Hearing Roger's words, Lu Yu and the others nodded, because everyone had roughly guessed who was behind this incident.
Just then, the jackal added from the side.
"I caught a sneaky guy last night, and after a good discussion with him for a while, I also learned from him that a month ago, someone in the White City hired him to spread some news in the White City! And this news is the news about the Grand Duke's illness! ”
Hearing the jackal's words, Lu Yu laughed.
"Looks like this battle is coming to an end!"
Hearing Lu Yu's laughter, Blood Eagle asked curiously on the side.
"Boss, isn't the reason we came to the Duchy of White City this time because we need a chaotic Duchy of Baicheng? Now that the Principality of White City is going to be pacified, what else do you have to be happy about! ”
Hearing Blood Eagle's words, Lu Yu said with a smile.
"Of course I know that our target this time is a chaotic White City Duchy, but obviously the plan is not as good as the change, then we only need a weak White City now! Apparently both the Duke of Borg and the Grand Duke Wood helped us with this project, and if I can meet them, I would like to thank them! ”
Hearing Lu Yu's words, the vulture asked puzzledly on the side.
"Commander, now the battle form of the two sides has completely fallen to Duke Borg, and the next battle is also overwhelming, I think there will not be much attrition in the Duchy of White City at that time!"
Hearing the vulture's words, Lu Yu explained with a smile.
"The current situation is indeed overwhelming, but don't forget that there are still many diehards in the White City! With the addition of our weapons, although we don't have many weapons, but with the weapons of the nobles and merchants who fled before, I think it is enough for the two sides to fight in the White City for a long time! All we need to do is talk to Miss Sarah about how they fight, and I think she'll will! If we really can't, we can only artificially create a war in it! ”
Lu Yu said, and finally had a terrifying smile on his face.
When they saw Lu Yu's smile, the vulture and the blood eagle shivered fiercely, while Roger sighed deeply alone, and the expressionless jackal on the side also laughed strangely.
For the vulture and the blood eagle, Lu Yu's plan is really terrifying, because as long as it is carried out according to Lu Yu's plan, then the possibility of the people still living in Baicheng after a big war is almost zero, yes, Lu Yu plans to let the Duchy of Baicheng lose a person from the capital to complete his plan. As for Lu Yu's chance, the vulture and the blood eagle had no other feelings than to feel the horror.
And Roger only sighed deeply after hearing Lu Yu's plan, although he wanted to stop Lu Yu's chance very much, but Roger also knew that it was impossible for him to change Lu Yu's intentions, because no matter how cruel Lu Yu's plan was, the final beneficiary would always be the people of the Calamity Mercenary Group, so Roger could only modify part of the plan, at least so that some people in the White City could survive.
And the jackal was excited after hearing Lu Yu's plan, for him, only such a terrifying plan could make him excited.
While the people of the Calamity Mercenary Regiment were thinking about their chances, Sarah, who had just completed the inheritance ceremony in the underground graveyard of the White Castle, wept in Hilda's arms.
Not far behind Sarah, a brand-new stone coffin filled with flowers was placed in the cemetery.
