Chapter 256: No Winter and Rain Five

"What do you do? Why are the gates of the city blocked and our men not allowed to enter? Countless people were blocking the city gate, boiling over, and several Luskan commanders rushed to the city gate and questioned the reptile commander.

Seeing that the Neverwinter City is broken, you can immediately rush into the city and swallow the whale! Those treasures placed in the Blue Palace, those mountains of gold and silver hidden by merchants in the cellars, I don't know how long it has been for a few commanders who have come from the Shuai Army to be red.

When they had nothing to do in the barracks, they kept arguing, insulting, and even conspiring together for an unknown number of days before they finally managed to divide their interests clearly. Even this everyone is still dissatisfied, feeling that they have paid too much for this family.

Who knew that Neverwinter had just been captured, and the reptiles immediately made the besieging army block the three city gates, and then let the other part of the army directly climb the wall into the city and occupy various important places...... Anyway, there is no way for human soldiers to directly pick at the cracks in the wall and climb the wall.

This is tantamount to directly ignoring the past agreement, which is simply shameless!

"This is the city that our reptilian empire has defeated, why should we give it to you? Even if it's a friendly army, it's also reasonable, right? "The commander of the Reptile Empire has three heads, and his three mouths are foaming at the mouth." How many soldiers did we sacrifice in the fight against this city, 10,000 people! Ten thousand brothers have fallen under this city! And what about you Luskan, do you have a thousand? ”

"But we've got a legendary ...... on our side"

"That's his bad luck! Who made him stand so high as a mage? Isn't it deserved to be dead? ”

"Fart! My lord, that's to help with the siege! Do you think you could take Neverwinter without adults? ”

"Of course we can! Don't think you're the only ones who have legends, so do we! ”

……

Several commanders were dizzy from the quarrel, and while reasoning with the reptilian people, they hurriedly sent people to ask the legendary tower master who was resting in the back camp.

Thinking about the vast wealth in the city, being plundered by the ugly claws of the reptiles, it hurts so much that I can't breathe! Although there is still a way to go at sea, in this rare stormy weather, it is a life and death to take that road.

They definitely didn't expect that the reptilian race, which was only worthy of living in a mud pit, would actually have a peep on Neverwinter! What's the use of them wanting cities?!

However, it is indeed useful for the Reptilian Empire to have cities - they are also a civilized race, and even once a unified feudal state. Such a country naturally has a part of it that does not need to produce, can live in clean houses instead of swamps, and can soak the body in clean water instead of muddy water.

Not to mention the fact that there was a more important part that had to be built in the city, because the buildings were exceptionally tall and needed a solid foundation—the temple. The reptile queen is already a demigod, and she is still the racial god of the reptilian race. She wants to climb up the path of divine power, and the temple and population are indispensable.

Therefore, Neverwinter has long been regarded as a bag by the Reptile Queen, which is the fundamental reason why the Reptile Empire is not afraid of sacrifice and wants to attack the city desperately.

*****

Leaving eleven thousand corpses under the city, the guards of Neverwinter really did their best.

Not only them, but later on, ordinary citizens who were not even professionals were distributed weapons and rushed to the city walls. From paladins to priests, thieves to gangsters, one can never know how many people died fighting for Neverwinter in those few days.

Several temples in the city were empty, and all the major guilds were killed, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, and even Nasher's Blue Palace was finally left with only four guards...... The rest were all on the walls.

But no one expected that the biggest result achieved was actually created by Arthur and others!

At first, they were despised by everyone in the city, and they could not even fight on the walls. Because the commander clearly told them that they would affect morale at the wall, several people had to leave in disgrace.

Frustrated, squads roam the city, trying to help solve a series of troubles caused by the war, and contribute a small amount of power to the city. Who knew that they were unexpectedly (actually not unexpected, the protagonist) found signs of Luskane's activity in the city! Several people followed the vine, and after a series of coincidences and accidents, they finally successfully solved Lu Sicane!

Then, several people were accidentally transported out of the city, crashing headlong into the construction site where the lizardmen were building a portal to the secret plane......

They operate in the shadows like a stirring stick, killing a group of people by exploding the portal, and killing another group by instigating a conflict between Luskan and the reptilian soldiers...... Since the reptilian soldiers and the Luskan people did not know each other, everyone looked similar in the eyes of the reptilians, and the gap on the battlefield was terrifyingly large.

Therefore, they are like fish in water, although there are no specific statistics, but out of the total of 11,000 corpses, Arthur's team should be able to account for one-fifth!

That's how the Adventurer Squad should be used - let them play freely to do wonders. Letting Arthur's squad defend the walls is like sending an ace sniper to the musketeer team to line up and shoot him.

Unfortunately, although Arthur and the others succeeded in delaying the fall of Neverwinter, they were unable to save the city's fate in the end......

The biggest problem is the cold rainstorm for days!

The reptile soldiers, who had long been adapted to the harsh environment, fought in the rain in a natural scale armor, and at most felt that the heat was running out too quickly. But for the soldiers of Neverwinter, it is almost not far from death to garrison the city wall in iron armor under the freezing rain, not to mention the extremely difficult battles!

This freezing storm caused even more damage to the soldiers of Neverwinter than the reptiles outside the city.

The second factor, of course, was the delayed arrival of reinforcements......

If you didn't see reinforcements from Waterdeep in the first three days of the siege, it can also be explained that Waterdeep got the news too late. Then on the seventh day of the siege, when any army was still seen in the south, even the most determined soldiers began to despair.

In this case, the legendary powerhouse has become a secondary factor.

Because of Erebes's earth-shattering sword, both the tower master and the legendary powerhouse of the lizardmen on Luskan's side chose to sit quietly on the battlefield and watch—for fear of provoking that killing god again!

"We promise not to actively use the Legendary Powerhouse, and you don't call it Erebes." This became an unspoken rule on the surface, and it spread all over the battlefields inside and outside the city overnight, and there was no way for Neverwinter to passively accept it. It's not that there are no legends in Neverwinter, but there is no kind of legendary combat power that can really "die with the city" as the mainstay. The remaining legends are only tied to the interests of Neverwinter, and they are good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, and to put it bluntly, they can only fight with the wind.

In this kind of great adversity, people can see that even the Lord of Nasher has the intention of escaping, so who will come to this troubled water? It is impossible to be a fool to live to become a legend - it is not a fool to inflate yourself after becoming a legend.

*****

In the Luskan barracks, the two legends who got the news looked at each other.

In fact, in the past two days, news about the "Luskan Incident" has been coming in a steady stream, and this is a magical world after all. But all these messages were suppressed by the two of them and kept secret. The reason is very simple, the situation on Kurigarius's side is still unclear for the time being, and rash response will only put him in a more disadvantageous situation.

So in the past two days, while studying, they withdrew all the Luskan soldiers who participated in the siege of the city to preserve their strength. This 10,000-strong army accounts for six or seven percent of Luskan's strength, and there is an army in the palm of his hand.

However, it was precisely this "steady" behavior that caused them to not even have a gate in their hands when Neverwinter fell!

Now they have a splitting headache......

As for how to recapture Luskan, they have developed four or five strategies. However, each strategy requires Neverfall to act as a "bloodsucking engine", looting money to boost morale, and securing food and logistics! In war, it is simply not necessary to say how important a solid rear city is.

But what now?

Don't look at the four or five legends on the opposite side, there are only two on this side, but the two tower masters really don't pay attention to the opposite one!

Those legends have just come out of the cracks of the subplane, belonging to the old antiques (or descendants) of hundreds of thousands of years ago, and the Elven Empire has not yet reached its peak when they left! If you think about the parallel legends of the Al Elves in the wizarding world, you can know that the legendary powerhouses of modern times are outdated long before them.

What really embarrassed the tower owner was the army, and the remaining army of about 10,000 people was their basic plate.

The lizardmen on the other side have already built a dimensional portal, it was 70,000 before the war, and now it has skyrocketed to 100,000 after 10,000 deaths!

If you turn your face now, can you fight it? The two tower masters glanced at each other, and they both knew the answer.

Especially if you compare the strength behind it, in the past, there was only one demigod reptile queen behind the reptile empire, and behind the seven tower masters of Luskan, there were demigods, abyss lords and gods, and they were not afraid of the other party turning their faces at all.

But now it's all gone, and with the coup d'état instantly reduced to the weaker side, they grit their teeth even more when they think about it!

"What now?"

“…… Neverwinter tosses it to those filthy bugs, and we're back! One of the city lords slapped the table and said through gritted teeth.

"Let's go back to Luskan! There are still our people there, and our soldiers' families are all in the city, and it is impossible to cut off the connection with the city! Tell the soldiers that we are not going back to attack the city, we are going home, I see if the black galus dare to stop us! ”

……

Hearing that Luskan had finally given up, the reptile queen sitting in the makeshift temple finally showed a terrifying smile.

In fact, all of this was planned and contributed by her behind the scenes-even at the expense of letting the reptilian army kill more, deliberately delaying the capture of the city, just to let the news ferment for a few days - in order to make the Luskan people suffer more gains and losses, and finally accepted her conditions.

"Give all our food to the Luskan people, and make way for them to leave." She commanded, now was the time to take a step back.

Luskan can be offended, but he can't become a mortal enemy.

Hundreds of thousands of years later, the Reptile Empire returned to the main plane, but this area has long been a master land. Just think about it, the next reptile empire must be the enemy of the whole world. Even if there were ports, no one would do business with them! Waterdeep City in the south, and the ten towns in the north, all longed for them to die.

At this time, the evil force of Luskan has become a breakthrough again - befriend Luskan, so that the Reptile Empire will not be trapped in this area.

Neverwinter, Luskan, Waterdeep, Milkan...... Fingers move across the map, and the bigwigs are nervously watching the situation evolve, analyzing the next move of those huge armies.

Can the Luskan Expeditionary Force counterattack the Luskan Expeditionary Force? Where is the reptilian empire going next? Is Waterdeep going in or out? Is the Silver Moon Alliance going to launch a second combined expedition? What does the League of Harpers think about the current situation?

Envoys and messages travel like crazy from country to country and city!

Everyone subconsciously ignored the small fortress between Neverwinter and Luskan.

Crossroads Fortress?

Wasn't that place razed by Luskan a long time ago?
