The rebellion in Jiamu County was put down in late November, and during this time, Fenghua City was besieged by 30,000 men led by Duke Monte. Poire seemed to have a strong idea of what he wanted, and he only drove the women and children up the walls day after day, intimidating the enemies stationed outside the city.

From the very beginning, Duke Monte believed that with the little strength in Poiwa's hands, even if he completely included the 8,000 garrisons of the original Fenghua City, plus some people who might secretly infiltrate the territory of the Shuka Kingdom, the troops in his hands would not exceed 10,000 at most, and the strength of these 10,000 people would definitely be uneven, and compared with the Xiongshi from the imperial capital, the strength difference was too far. Therefore, he would never dare to break through rashly without being sure. Because, even if he breaks through, the vast wilderness outside Fenghua City is likely to become his burial place. As it turned out, Duke Monte guessed right.

In that dimly lit room, Poisan was yelling at the moment, "Didn't you say there were reinforcements? Where are our reinforcements? You said they would retreat, it's been so long, why hasn't there been any movement at all? ”

The face of the person sitting in the corner was blue and white, but fortunately, he was able to suppress his feelings and said, "Don't worry, even if it can't be disintegrated internally, the army of the four northern countries can still capture the Shenfeng Fortress that is now strong outside and capable in the middle." ”

"Do you think the Divine Fortress is papier-mâché? If it could be conquered so lightly, it would not be called one of the four major fortresses of the Blue Frontier. ”

The person in the corner saw that Powa might turn his face, and felt that it was important to save his life, so he comforted: "Tell you a secret, this operation against the Blue Moon Empire." Not only the four northern countries participated. The Kalinkel Empire, the northernmost part of the Blue Frontier, is also our strong backing. ”

"Where can the distant water save the near fire." Powa said worriedly. "I'm worried about the reaction from Bo Yingte's side, as long as the Blue Moon Queen gives an order, regardless of the consequences, we will all die without a place to be buried."

"But we just have to maintain the status quo as much as we can, it's a boat, everybody's on board, and if we don't want to capsize, we all have to come up with a little bit of means."

"What's your idea?"

"A few more days. As soon as the people we are waiting for arrive, the enemy outside the city will be in chaos. ”

"I hope so."

Unfortunately, his "wish" was not realized, and on November 29, 2050, the special envoy of Bo Ying rushed to Fenghua City, and before his ass was hot, he summoned Duke Monte.

The next day, November 30, 2050 in the Blue Xinjiang calendar, was a day of bloodshed. Early in the morning, the loud military horn sounded in the camp outside the city, and the troops began to enter the city of Fenghua. Duke Monte couldn't wait for Lin Hong to withdraw 20,000 soldiers from Jiamu County. Ordered the siege of the city. The order also added the following sentence: Whoever sheds blood for the empire will be dyed with the radiance of God, whether he dies at the hands of the enemy. It's still in the hands of your own people.

What does this mean? Those who led the troops in battle knew that the middle and lower rank officers of the army stood in front of the soldiers under his command with tears in their eyes, and shouted: "Now, the glory of the empire is being tarnished by the thieves of Powa who stole the city of Fenghua, and we will use our blood to present the new glory of the empire to the queen standing in the clouds!" ”

The siege was reckless, with the soldiers rushing up to the city in waves like madness, slashing naïve, innocent heads into the air, and then swinging bloody knives at the real enemies who stood behind the women and children. Duke Monte did not relent, and he could not relent, and the siege decided from the beginning that it would be a "either you die or I live" situation, and he sent all kinds of heavy siege engines. As he watched the fragile limbs being knocked down, torn, and smashed into flesh under the heavy trebuchet, there was no expression on his knife-like face.

The resistance of Fenghua City was unprecedentedly stubborn, they threw boiling oil, sandalwood, stones, everything they could throw at the enemy, but their biggest barrier - those women and children had already died and wounded most of them, and the rest of the women and children were driven by them, and even with death threats and intimidation, they were unwilling to stand under the wall again, and some women had even begun to resist, and the city suddenly burst into flames, I don't know if it was ignited by enemy rockets, or by the residents themselves. The entire Fenghua City was in chaos.

Duke Monte overestimated Pois, and under his coercion, inducement, and intimidation, there were less than 4,000 people who really joined his rebel ranks, plus the 3,000 regular troops of the Kingdom of Huca who had secretly infiltrated the city, his total strength was less than 7,000 men. At the beginning of the siege, Powa was originally supervising the battle at the head of the wall, but when he saw that things were not good, he immediately slipped away with his personal guards.

When the light of the setting sun shone on the walls of Fenghua City, which was stained red with blood, the banner of the Blue Moon Empire had once again fluttered here. Duke Monte rode into Fenghua City under the escort of his own guards, and watched a prosperous city fall into ruins in less than a day, and he finally remembered the words of his old friend: Those who rebel against the dragon scales will be hanged. The wrath of the emperor was destined to be appeased with the blood of countless people.

Unfortunately, his exclamation was dispelled by the next news.

"Powa didn't catch it, how could it be?" Duke Monte felt a cold sweat break down his spine. The queen decided to capture Poisa alive, but now she didn't catch him, she didn't even see his figure. He couldn't imagine how angry the queen would be when she heard the news.

He shouted violently and said to a large group of soldiers around him: "What are you still doing in a daze, close the city gate, and search the whole city immediately." ”

Rick woke up in the morning, feeling refreshed. Last night, Qinglu taught him a set of true qi formulas, called "Emperor Moon Gong", he practiced for most of the night with the help of Qinglu, and he already felt that a wave of true qi was condensed in the dantian, and the whole person seemed to be as light as a swallow. Of course, there was one thing he felt was wrong, as if this set of True Qi mantras had a greater effect on his lower abdomen, and he began to feel that his lower abdomen was as hard as steel in the second half of the night, and unlike usual, there was always a feeling of swelling. Fortunately, when he finished his work, it seemed to be back to normal. However, there seems to be some differences, and he can't figure out what the difference is.

Out of the courtyard, Rick led the four phoenix attendants to the outer hall of the inn, and without stopping, he staggered up to the second floor. Tianxiang Inn is divided into inner courtyard and outer courtyard, part of the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard are used for accommodation, and the outer hall of the outer courtyard is also a restaurant.

There were a lot of guests on the second floor, but nearly a quarter of them were those black-armored cavalry. In the left window under their escort, a screen was placed, and through the fine yarn of the screen, a moving figure could be faintly seen. In addition to these striking black-armored cavalry, there were several groups of people upstairs that caught Rick's attention. First of all, at the table in the corner, two delicate-skinned scholars, one old and one young, were not strange, but behind these two scholars stood four big men with gloomy faces, and this discordant combination puzzled Rick. There was also a strange group of people, all dressed in nomadic attire, tall and rugged, who occupied three tables and were drinking with each other. The last group is Rick's old acquaintance, the blessed fat man who bids with him for slaves at the Fire Dragon Slave Auction, and it seems that wherever there is excitement, he is. The three groups of people mentioned above all brought guards with them, which was quite eye-catching. However, Rick's observations were not limited to them, and several others caught his attention: an old magician with a calm face sitting on the head of the seat closest to the Darkarmor Cavalry; a leisurely couple sitting in the corner on the other side; The last one was a little girl, who looked strange and elfty, and she sat at the window on the other side, munching on the case as if no one was around, and looking at her delicious food, as if she had never eaten in three lifetimes.

Rick and Sifeng sat closest to the little girl, and as soon as they sat down, Rick felt that the eyes of at least four groups of people fell on them. It's only openly, and secretly I don't know how much. It seems that Qingcheng is really a lot of dragons and tigers from all sides, and a big drama is about to be staged. Rick thought to himself.

Each of them ordered a millet porridge and a few plates of side dishes, and Rick and Sifeng were preparing to enjoy this rare and leisurely breakfast time. It's a pity that their wishes are going to be frustrated. They were about to dine here, and the people behind the screen had already put down their chopsticks. As usual, it was the girl in green who walked out with the woman covered with veils.

They were trying to go downstairs. Countless fireballs suddenly fell in midair, and the focus of the fireball attack was the two main maids. However, the person who unleashed the magic clearly underestimated the strength of the attacker. With a wave of the veiled woman's jade arm, the fireballs were included in her sleeves like moths to fire, but the sleeves were not burning, and there was not even a trace of sparks.

"What a beautiful trick mud cow into the sea! The Violet Luo family's demon-breaking skills really live up to its reputation. The old magician suddenly stood up.

"It's you—" The girl in green was about to scold, but her master stopped her. The veil-covered woman turned around slowly and said, "If the old man has an enmity with me, he can choose another place, this is the Tianxiang Inn, if I don't collect this fire rain in time, I'm afraid the entire inn will be set on fire." ”

"I don't care!" The old magician changed his previous calm expression, and said with a distorted face, "Kagassi, three years ago, during the battle of the border of the Lark Country, you forced the border guard of the Lark Country to hand over my son, and then cut him in front of the battle with your own hands, today, I want you to pay for your life." (Note: Skylark Country.) One of the four northern countries. ）

Kaghazi, the woman covered with the veil, said coldly: "Your son deserves it. In that border conflict, if he hadn't seen the money, he instigated the border guards to attack the caravan, and after robbing the caravan of its belongings, he also washed several nearby villages in blood, raped and plundered, and committed countless evils, they did not even let go of pregnant women, and several pregnant women were killed by their adultery. Killing him was the punishment he deserved, and from the moment he committed his heinous crime, he should have the consciousness to accept the punishment. (To be continued......)
