Chapter Ninety-Seven: An Expensive Price
The military camp is built a few miles away from the edge of the Black Mist City, which is actually a little disturbing for the residents of the Black Mist City, but so many soldiers are on the edge of the city, but it makes every citizen feel at ease, the Territory of Chaos is not a peaceful place, war will come at any time, there are a large number of soldiers, even if it is disturbed, the people don't care much.
In the Black Mist City, every person who walked on the street had a smile on his face a little more joyful than before.
Now you may not have received much favor from the city lord, after all, the time is still short and you can't see it, you only need to wait for a month, when you don't need to pay the poll tax that you used to need to pay every month, and after waiting for three months, you don't need to pay half of the wheat after the harvest in the field to the city lord's mansion, so ...... The people who have received the favor will definitely support the city even more, even if they will fight for their lives.
In Baron Orn's mansion, the blonde-haired and long-haired Formart walked around impatiently in place, his face impatient and heavy.
It's been a few days, and the Duke's order hasn't arrived yet, and they don't dare to retreat on their own, or do that attack mission, because they are very worried about the news that Wright Cloud automatically delivers.
A ninth-level powerhouse at the extreme level, not to mention two eighth-level warriors and four seventh-level warriors, even if they are replaced by four elementary ninth-level powerhouses, they may not be able to take each other.
The ninth-level powerhouses of the extreme level, the other party has already stepped into the holy realm with one foot, whether it is attack or fighting spirit, they are not people who can be compared with the ninth-level primary at all, let alone these eighth-level powerhouses, that is one counts as one, and it is not much more difficult than killing chickens.
How can you be called a ninth-level extreme powerhouse?
That is a strong man who has comprehended the power of heaven and earth, even if it is fur, it is not comparable to ordinary ninth-level powerhouses, attacking out ...... The power of heaven and earth will be oppressive, and it will be very difficult for ordinary ninth-level powerhouses to fight against it...... It's like nine to seven.
…………………………
300 miles away from Black Mist City...... Morrill City, the center of Maple Leaf County, the administrative core of the Ice Blue Duchy.
In the vast hall, Duke Jace is on the throne, a few steps below the throne, there is a chair, on the chair sits an old man with gorgeous hair and a thin body, and under this chair, all the power classes of the entire Ice Blue Principality stand, but at this time, everyone's faces are heavy, the atmosphere is depressed, this meeting has been discussed for several days...... I didn't come up with a good charter, and no one came up with a good plan.
"Don, it's been five days, do you have a plan for the Strategic Department of your military department?" Duke Jace is about 40 years old, with long blonde hair, blue eyes, a pointed nose, thin lips, and a thin face. At this time, his eyes were staring directly at an old man in his fifties standing in the front row of his left hand in the line below, his face was cold, and the latter's forehead was oozing a little sweat.
Jace has a tyrannical personality, and if it weren't for his strength, he would have been overthrown long ago.
"Lord Duke......" Tang En swallowed his saliva secretly and said respectfully: "After a few days of discussion, our military department suggests, first, and a relatively cheap strategy, to give orders to Fumart and their attack team, let them test the strength of the other party, if the news is false, then we can take down the other party at the lowest cost." The worst part of this strategy is that if the information from the other side is true, we will lose the strength of two eighth-level warriors and four seventh-level warriors, which will be very detrimental to the next war. ”
Duke Jace frowned, he himself was unwilling to test these six people, so he didn't give a follow-up order, after all, the strength announced by the other party was a powerhouse at the ninth level limit level, two eighth-level warriors, and four seventh-level warriors, basically no different from going to death.
Don't look at the strength of the Ice Blue Duke seems to be very strong, but there are many wolves around the Maple Leaf County City, and the strength of each Duchy is not much worse than that of the Ice Blue Duchy, and the two eighth-level warriors are already one-tenth of the combat power of the Ice Blue Principality, how can he be willing to do it.
When Donn's proposal came out, everyone also talked about it, and they all shook their heads, not appreciating, if it was really that simple, they still needed to discuss it here for five days?
"Veto!" Jace shook his head, stared at Donn, and said coldly, "Let's talk about other strategies." ”
The latter wiped his forehead, secretly gasped, held the fear in his heart, and continued: "Then we can only use the last plan, which is to directly wage war against Black Mist City, Lord Duke...... According to the information transmitted back from the front, the other party has recruited 200,000 recruits during this time, and is training, obviously eyeing us, we can't wait for their huge group of soldiers to complete training, and then start a war against us, because the other party uses a huge amount of resources to train this batch of recruits regardless of the cost, and gives the breathing method, and the city lord also promised that only need to reach the first level of soldiers will issue the Dou Qi Secret Codex, and it only takes three months for this batch of recruits to become elite soldiers, We'll be at a disadvantage then. ”
(Modify a small place in the previous chapter, recruit training to reach the first level of the soldier can cultivate the low-level Dou Qi Secret Codex!) )
"We all know the information you mentioned, and it is also the purpose of our meeting in the material." Jace's face was serious, already suppressing his anger, "What I need is a strategy against them, not listening to you say these words here to shake the hearts of the military." ”
"Lord Duke, this is also the result of our discussion, we don't care whether the information he released is true or not, we just need to start a war and destroy the other party's regime in one fell swoop, because I am concerned about the strength of the other party, there is no good strategy, and what we have to do is to attack the prestige of the other party." Tang En calmly analyzed: "Since there are not many strong people in Black Mist City, our side is besieging in all directions, it is the best way to use many strong people in my Ice Blue Principality to deal with that city lord, and in the end, it can drag the other party to death, no matter how strong the strength is, you can't fight hundreds of thousands of soldiers alone!" ”
"What you said, I naturally understand, but to fight a war, it's not a matter of two lips touching up and down, patting the head and deciding, after all, there are a large number of wolves around us, if I transfer all the strong ones, those wolves will let go of such an opportunity and not pounce on them and bite them?" Duke Jace frowned.
Before Tang En could answer, the old man with Hua Fa who was sitting on the chair under the throne interjected: "Your Excellency, I agree with Don En's proposal, this is already the point where I have to move, while the training of the opponent's recruit soldiers has not been completed, we have mobilized the strong and the strong, and destroyed this regime in one fell swoop. As we all know, a single ninth-level powerhouse is not terrible, what is terrible is the elite army led by this strong man, if the other party is ready, then we will have to be passive, and if we start a war now, maybe we will be in pain for a while, but as long as the other party is destroyed, it will be the best result. ”
Duke Jace nodded, thought about it for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said with a strange look on his face: "You say, could this matter be made by other principalities to make us misjudge and have many worries, and finally let us have to start a war, mobilize the strong, and finally lay it up and bite us hard?" ”
The bodies of the people below trembled, and cold sweat almost flowed out of their faces.
The old man Huafa's expression was also on the spot, and he smiled lightly: "Good guy, it's dark under the lights, I'm almost fooled." ”
He and Duke Jace, who was sitting at the top, looked at each other and smiled.
"But Lord Duke and Lord Leo, according to our information in the past few days, the other party has purchased millions of gold coins of materials, and according to the report of our spies, this city lord is not a strong person in the surrounding principalities." Jace said respectfully, "I still recommend using my strategy to mobilize strong men to besiege each other. ”
"Resources, if you buy it, you don't have to use it on this group of people, after all, the materials that the other party buys, we can also use it in the Ice Blue Principality, since we can use it, other principalities can naturally use it, I know what you mean." The old man of Huafa looked indifferent: "The strong can sometimes be invited, give a sum of money, and the strong can also act for you, understand?" ”
"But ......" Don wanted to say something, but Duke Jace interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Okay, let's do it, give them news to Format, and say let them try the other party's strength as soon as possible, and if they are allowed, they will take the other party, if it is really as the other party announced, it is better to preserve the strength." ”
"Rota, several of you generals are ready, mobilize the army, the three elite legions under your command are ready to go to battle, as well as my and Leo's personal guards, Ohm, Yin Heng, you are also ready." Duke Jace gave the order, and the following echoed again.
Don sighed secretly in his heart.
………………………………
The next afternoon, the Vormat people in the Mansion of Baron Orn in Black Fog City received an attack order from Duke Jace and were also making preparations.
"This mysterious city lord is really powerful, he even made those city guards who originally belonged to some nobles fall to him, I really don't know how he did it, and no news came out at all." Vormatt wiped his weapon, his face unfazed by the impending adventure.
"It's likely that some benefits that the city guards can't give up, or the secret archive or something." The gray-haired man was also wiping his sword, staring at the knife with an affectionate face, and said without replying, "What people can't refuse is nothing more than this." ”
The 10,000 city guards of Black Mist City, of course, have many subordinates who belong to the aristocratic class, but loyalty is sometimes very cheap.
When night came, when the sky was completely dark, and in the middle of the night, the whole land was dark, and everyone in Black Mist City was already asleep except for the four city gates and the city guards patrolling the streets.
In Baron Orn's mansion, six black shadows suddenly flew out, and as soon as these six black shadows came out of Baron Orn's mansion, they immediately ran silently towards the City Lord's Mansion. Baron Orn's Mansion was only a few hundred meters away from the City Lord's Mansion, and in less than a minute, these six black shadows climbed over the walls of the City Lord's Mansion several meters high and entered it.
These six dark shadows were very familiar with the route of the City Lord's Mansion, as if they had lived in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, they passed through the corridors, and soon came to a very luxurious courtyard, which was the courtyard where Orma used to live.
As soon as they stepped into this courtyard, whether it was Wright, Sercia, or Xiong Er, they all woke up.
The moonlight shone through the window into a very beautifully furnished room, and on the large bed covered with pink mosquito nets, Celcia opened her huge tiger eyes, which seemed to look through the window into the room where her master was, and finally let out an inaudible whistling sound, "Someone is coming to die." ”
Celcia stretched out her tongue and gently licked the cheek of the little girl sleeping beside her, closed her eyes again, and continued to sleep.
"Click!"
Six figures crashed in through the window, and suddenly the magic lamp in the room turned on, and Cheng Buyun sat on the bed wearing a pajama Dama Golden Knife, looking at the six people who crashed into the room with indifferent eyes.
And Xiong Er also glanced at the six people who disturbed his sleep with an unkind face, and his face looked very angry.
"Target's face confirmed, on, Blair, you drag this bear, and his men follow me to catch him." Fumart snorted softly, the fighting energy on his body exploded, and he rushed towards the step-by-step cloud sitting on the bed with a big sword.
These six attackers didn't even say a word, and as soon as they saw Wright, they immediately started fighting, which made Swayoyun's face a little different, and immediately judged that these six people should be sent by the Ice Blue Principality, and only the other party would want to arrest him, not kill him.
After all, he killed the son of Duke Najace, and it is reasonable for the other party to want to capture him and take revenge with his own hands.
"Roar!"
Xiong Er let out a low roar, and a bear paw had already swung at the gray-haired man, and the huge bear paw slammed straight towards the opponent's head with a strong and fierce momentum.
The gray-haired man reacted very quickly, his running body stopped instantly, and the tip of the sword that flashed with fighting spirit was aimed at the bear paw that Xiong Er struck over, and his purpose was mainly to drag the bear.
But he obviously had a strange feeling in his heart, why did this bear fight on its own, instead of guarding its master's side?
His doubts hadn't gone away, Xiong Er's bear paw attack didn't allow him to think too much, and suddenly, the bear paw slap changed to a dial, and his battle knife was pulled out to the side, and the powerful fighting qi attack suddenly smashed the furniture placed next to him into pieces. And Xiong Er's bear paw also accelerated to his chest.
"It's not good, the ninth-level demonic beast ......" The gray-haired man's eyes contracted, and he let out a soul-shocking roar from his mouth, and with a 'boom', Xiong Er's bear paw had already slapped on his chest, directly beating him to vomit blood and hit the wall, and the wall that was built very thick and made of big bluestone was also broken by him and opened a huge hole.
The gray-haired man's chest was sunken in a large chunk, and the shape of the depression on the chest was very similar to Xiong Er's bear paws.
Received Xiong Er's violent blow, the gray-haired man was already seriously injured and lay on the ground unable to move, and the breath in his nose was as if he was dead.
Fumart was holding a big sword and slashing at Stepy, when he heard a loud explosion from behind, Blair screamed and stopped moving, and couldn't help but look back, and found that Blair was already lying on the ground and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the bear was also eyeing the back of himself and others.
"Buzz!"
Wright Cloud pulled out the heavy sword from the space ring and swung it directly forward, and in an instant, he also scared half of Fumart's soul away, only to feel that his body was hit, and then he softened, and his body fell directly to the ground, unable to exert any strength, as if he had been blocked by someone in an instant.
Then he only saw the sword light flashing in front of him, and the four seventh-level warriors he brought with him didn't even have the strength to resist, and they were slapped to the ground by the other party, just like himself, and there was not any scar on the outside.
All captured alive!
This thought flashed through Fumart's mind, and a pair of eyes couldn't help but look at this young man in horror, he was too young, his strength was so strong, and the news announced by the other party was true!
But it was the definite news that he and others exchanged their lives for.
