Chapter 556: Ultraman in the World (8) is like a rainbow
Those aristocrats who are usually high-spirited did not expect that there had only been a mob in the legend who ignored the status of the nobility, and they actually appeared in their vicinity, only one distance from the city wall, the children were crying, the old and weak were holding their heads and trembling, and the young and middle-aged stood on the city wall with weapons in fear, and the two strands were weak.
"No, don't worry, that mob doesn't know how to form formations, and they can't break through Radivo without heavy weapons," the temporarily elected defender of La divo stood on a high platform and used amplification magic to boost morale, but judging by his trembling tone, it was difficult to say how much encouragement there was.
A few days ago, the thieves had appeared on a scale not seen in many years, south of La Divou, where the model village of Nataro I was most concentrated, and where the mountain people had rebelled and fled the most.
As for the appearance of the gangsters, Nataro I explained to the inhabitants of Radivo in this way: after all, it was after the autumn harvest, and there was a lot of grain in the barns of the villages everywhere, so the raids of the gangs at this time were convenient to seize a large amount of grain immediately, and second, to concentrate the last manpower to fight to the death.
Everyone felt that Natarot I's statement was very reasonable, so they regarded the "army" led by Nataro as a desperate villain, so the whole of La Divo boiled.
Many young aristocrats happily signed up for the army assembled by Nataro I, ready to take advantage of what was estimated to be the biggest battle of the Principality of Savan in recent years, in exchange for merit to pave the way for themselves and win the hearts of the ladies.
The merchants were also very excited, although most of those mountain people were mud legs and couldn't squeeze much oil and water, but as long as they were people, they could be slaves and call, and they could get a lot of benefits from this battle.
Some of the full-time ladies who do not work have mixed feelings, on the one hand, they rejoice and bless the honor and merit that their sweethearts may receive, and on the other hand, they can't help but lament why people should hurt each other when they think of the many people who will die, even if they are mobs despised by the aristocracy.
As for the most numerous commoners in the city, those who were honest and indifferent felt that this was just another activity of the nobles, while other self-motivated commoners planned to take the initiative to enlist as coolies to see if they could make a fortune on the battlefield.
In short, in such a chaotic situation, Natarot I, with elite troops as the core, led a patchwork rabble, and rushed to the south. In fact, Natarot I was not willing to take these rabble, who I was afraid would only be able to pull back, but there was no way, the most combat-ready foreign army had already left, and it could only rely on numbers to save the emergency.
The group left La Divo with the cheers and flowers of the inhabitants of the city, and walked majestically out of the city gates (in the eyes of the inhabitants of La Divou) with the cheers and flowers of the inhabitants of the city, and gradually disappeared into the horizon.
Since then, the news has been continuous, and one good news after another, the official army and the rebel army have come into contact, the official army has defeated the rebel army, the official army has pursued the rebel army, and when the nobles in the city have begun to plan a ceremony to celebrate the victory, those troops have lost the news, and only a small number of troops who have not followed the pursuit can still communicate normally.
Radivo was a little uneasy, but more people remained optimistic, after all, how could the dignified army be defeated by a handful of desperate thieves, and how optimistic they were at that time, how panicked they were when they learned that the thief king Su Weili was going north with a large army and would soon besiege Radivo.
After Nataro I pursued into the mountains with a large army, there was no news for several days, but now Nataro I did not come out, but a group of Kou came out, so there is no need to mention what happened to Nataro I's army. The most fatal blow to Ladivo was that it marked that Radivo had lost all its field capabilities and could only sit in an isolated city.
After the king of thieves came out with the crowd, it took two days to defeat the small army of the model village like a duck, and then went north to La divou, besieging the city, and the nobles sent messengers to try to contact the other party, at least to redeem the captured nobles, such as Nataro I and others.
However, this group of gangsters is really a group of gangsters, they actually cut off the ear of the envoy and drove him back, without giving him a chance to speak, the angry nobles scolded, and the untouchables just don't understand the rules of diplomacy. However, they may have forgotten that the officials and rebels never had to talk about diplomatic aristocracy, and in the past, whenever the officials and soldiers arrested the leaders of the gangsters, they would torture and kill them and hang their corpses for public display.
Since the negotiations did not go on at all, the inhabitants of La Divo had to start defending, but strangely, the thieves did not immediately annex them, but only besieged them.
This makes the defender feel very strange, after all, if the defender feels that he is the leader of the thieves, he should understand that compared to Isafranro, the thief is a little finger-like force, so at this time, he should be quick and decided, either attack quickly before the reinforcements arrive, or simply not attack, what is this posture doing now?
At this time, the news came that they had begun to build a certain artifact, which made the guards very nervous, could it be that this object was quite mysterious, so that the thieves could be so confident?
After a few days of the utensils were built, the guard general fixed his eyes to see that it was actually a small trebuchet, or the kind of trebuchet without any magic blessings, and while wondering, the guard general encouraged the city: "Don't worry, although I Ladivo is not a big city, but it is a main city, not to mention that the autumn harvest has passed, and the group has no means to siege the city, so it is not afraid to hold on for three or five years."
Just when the guards were talking, the trebuchet of the group was launched, and a watermelon-sized stone was shot with a bang, and the guard was startled, although this trebuchet was a small trebuchet, but it could not only throw such small stones, and the defender told himself that he was afraid of fraud, so he ordered the shooter to shoot the projectile.
There are still some elite ones left in the city, such as the private soldiers of the nobles of various provinces, and at this time they also went up to the city tower, and several elite archers drew their bows and arrows, and when the throwing was only halfway through, the throwing object was directly exploded with a brush.
The projectile exploded after being shot, splashing out some juice that had already solidified, which made the guard wonder, and invited the mage to probe, the mage turned his head tremblingly, and said to the guard, the projectile is probably a human head.
What are they throwing human heads for? Is there poisoning in this man's head or is it ...... So the guard's pupils also widened suddenly, and he thought of a terrifying guess, and in an instant, it was like the sky was spinning, and his mouth muttered slightly: "How dare they, how dare they!"
The other side began to throw again, at which point the guard suddenly ordered the archers not to shoot the projectile, and then ordered the mage to catch the projectile with levitation magic.
When the throwing object was presented, the guard took a closer look and was shocked, wasn't this head a document of Nataro I!"How dare they kill the nobles!Who gave them the guts!" The guard couldn't contain his anger and fear and roared, and also revealed the news to the inhabitants of La Divou.
Previously, the last line of defense to support the nerves of the inhabitants was to hope that the King of Thieves would not dare to slaughter the nobles because they were intimidated by the titles of the nobles, and then no matter how much ransom was paid, the captives would still be sent back to the city, but as these heads were projected in, the last line of defense suddenly collapsed, and in an instant Radivo cried out to the sky.
Radivo was crying, the mountain people were laughing, how many years had passed, and the resentment that had arisen from the old demand for patience had disappeared in an instant.
"Send envoys again, we can't let the dignity of the nobles be desecrated by them like this," said the guard Tie Qing, behind him were countless crying family members, since the relatives could no longer return, at least they should not be cut off and thrown into the city, worse than the humblest serfs.
This time, you didn't refuse the envoy rudely, after all, the first time you refused the envoy, first, for the sake of prestige, and second, you knew that the arrogant nobles at that time would not bow their heads, and this time they should accept the envoy and start to negotiate the conditions well and seriously.
The envoy came back trembling, and at this time the rear was still throwing human heads from time to time, and the only thing that relieved the nobles was that now they were throwing the heads of lowly commoners, but the nobles also knew that if they didn't negotiate again, then the human heads that would be thrown immediately would become those of the noble nobles.
"He, he said that he wanted a million tons of grain and good seeds, and the soldiers and armor," the envoy could not finish the conditions of the grain when he was interrupted by the angry roar of the guard: "How dare he ask for so much!
"He, he also said that now the nobles have not been beheaded, and the corpses are stacked on wagons and transported, if we don't agree to his conditions, I'm afraid, I'm afraid."
"Oh, the god of the wetlands," a noblewoman fainted with a scream when she heard that the noble corpse of the nobleman was stacked on the carriage like an object, without dignity, so that the cry that had just stopped for a moment because of the negotiation sounded again.
As for the civilians, those who have joined the army have sad faces, while those who have not participated in the army are probing their brains in the rear, looking at the unlucky picture of the nobles who are afraid that they can only see once in their lives, so that when they are old, they can boast to their grandson.
At last, several young nobles could not bear the humiliation of the gang and shouted: "How dare a mere pariahs deceive people too much! General, please let us go out of the city, peel off the skin of this bastard, and hang it on the city wall for three days and three nights!"
"Then at least wait until the old man redeems the body first!" said the guard, "Now that the remains of the nobles are still in their hands, you rush out like this, do you want them to burn the bodies!"
Therefore, despite their reluctance, the nobles still frowned and collected the ransom for the remains, which opened the eyes of the mountain people, it turned out that the remains of the nobles were so valuable, and only the nobles sneered and said: "Prepare for defense, these people pay so neatly and don't bargain, they must be planning to break out after getting the body." ”
Several of his subordinates were a little worried, but one of them came up with a good idea: "We will mix the remains of nobles and commoners to hand them over, so that we are not afraid that they will riot halfway." ”
However, he did the opposite: "No, the remains of the nobles are all gathered in the front, since they want to repent, I will give them a chance." ”
As expected, when most of the nobles' bodies were handed over, the defenders of La Divo suddenly attacked the mountain people, but they were resisted by the mountain people who had been prepared for a long time, and they also transformed into Tiga, so that none of the elites of La divo could escape back.
"The rest of the body doesn't have to be handed over, and the rest of the ransom is not going to be asked, just put it on the trebuchet and throw it out at one time, which will be considered to return the body to them!"
The quip caused the mountain people to laugh, and some of the mountain people, blinded by greed, looked at Radivo and swallowed their saliva, and suggested, "Shall we go to the city and grab a handful?"
"No, we don't have any ranged weapons or heavy weapons, and we can't take down a city with regular walls, even if it's just a small Radivo," the still calm man refused, not getting carried away by the existing achievements, and drew a perfect end to the operation.
"Your corpses could have been returned in full, but because of the nobles' breach of the covenant, they can only be returned in this way!" The amplification magic was transmitted into the city, and with the sound came the corpses that had been stacked like haystacks and then thrown into the air and scattered, and suddenly Radivo (the nobles) mourned.
"Withdraw," said to his fellow mountaineers, "we can't plunder Radivo, but we can take revenge on the invaders and traitors!"
"Revenge, revenge, revenge!" thunderous cheers spread throughout the southern suburbs of La Divou, and then the elated mountain people, accompanied by the wails of La divo and the setting sun, embarked on the road back to their homeland.
