Chapter 172: I see
The abyss usually doesn't matter whether the miscellaneous cannon fodder lives or dies, in addition to the fact that it is easy to make, the enemy's inability to recycle the corpses of these miscellaneous soldiers is also a reason, but it is better to say that the more miscellaneous soldiers die on the enemy's territory, the more headaches the other party will have. In other words, the abyss does not deliberately prepare any enhancement spells to use on the miscellaneous soldiers, and this time's energy burst is no exception for everyone on the city wall, but there seems to be a little accident in the middle.
The result was a situation in which the large group of miscellaneous soldiers had been strengthened, and although the number was not too large in general, the problem was that they were in the front row of the line, and they were the closest to the city walls.
Faced with this situation, the shopkeeper, who was always paying attention to the battlefield, couldn't help but sigh and sighed: "This kind of development doesn't seem to be quite consistent with the plot of the royal road, said that the good pretending to kill countless miscellaneous soldiers in seconds with a wave of his hand attracted the attention of all the girls in the audience and then was eaten by dogs, why is the final result a large group of monsters strengthened?"
"As long as you're here, there's no royal plot at all. The blonde girl who was the main palace said unceremoniously, making the other party's head instantly full of black lines, "In addition, most of the girls present have a relationship with you, and they are attracted by Nangong Rong, a real husband?"
"Husband, anyway, I will soon be able to use more pretending means to win a game, such as grabbing people's heads, grabbing people's heads, and grabbing people's heads. Ah, what I just said was grabbing someone's head, it should be killing the boss in an instant, right?"
"It turns out that you still have the consciousness that doing that is equivalent to stealing people's heads, I thought you were so brazen that no one else had ever seen it. β
The conversation between the two did not deliberately lower the volume, and Nangong Rong, who was standing nearby, chose to give up even though he tried his best to pretend not to hear it, and turned his head to interrupt them with a dark face in the mood of the FFF members who hated to burn the heterosexuals: "I said, can you two restrain a little, you are still fighting." No one will blame you if you don't plan to help, but it's your fault to blatantly take the initiative to show affection. β
The shopkeeper looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, and raised his hand to scratch his slightly red cheeks, looking embarrassed by this, but his sister in the main palace was extremely calm, and casually brushed the hair on her shoulder with one hand on her waist and replied very domineeringly: "This is not a show of affection, this is a sister." β
"On the contrary, the character image of the two of you is completely reversed, hey!?" Nangong Rong, who couldn't cry or laugh, first stomped his foot a few times, and then took a deep breath to calm down and speak, "I admit that you are stronger now, so I won't mention this first." If you're ready to retreat, it's a very good time now, do you want to run away?"
Without answering the boy's question directly, the shopkeeper turned his head to look at a girl with short blond hair not far away: "Saria, what do you think?"
The named horse monkey shochu shook his head helplessly: "I can indeed block them, but only to block them, it is difficult to eliminate them who have been strengthened." After all, my earth-based spells change the terrain to strengthen the defense, but they don't have a strong killing ability, and they need to have a high output to cooperate in the back. β
However, the store manager does not have this kind of high output in the team, and even if someone can make a cameo, it will consume a lot of energy, which is contrary to the purpose of preserving strength in this battle, and it is impossible to implement it.
Lin Weiyin staggered back to the city wall with the old black smoke behind her, her engine obviously too bad to continue fighting. Seeing this, Nangong Rong made a decision very decisively, and said categorically: "Then, let's abandon the city." β
Sure enough, it is completely impossible for such a few people to hold the city in front of such an army, and no one is willing to protect it, although Nangong Rong did not have much expectations at the beginning, but when things really evolved like this, he still felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Because of this, the boy realized that if he wanted to fight against Shen, it was not only necessary to find someone to form a team to push the boss, but also to face a large army of tough enemies. The shopkeeper naturally doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing because they have the backing of the alliance, but Nangong Rong's side is different, they need to rely on themselves no matter what they do.
Through this unsuccessful defensive battle, Nangong Rong figured out many things, and even made him make up his mind.
It's just that now the boy can't do anything and doesn't have time to let him pose to cheer himself up, and everyone is hurrying away from the city wall at the moment, intending to leave Ledana and retreat to a safe place. Although some of the girls in the team looked at the panicked crowd on the street with unbearable expressions, everyone did not stop because of this.
"We can't save everybody. β
The shopkeeper said this to the girls, and none of them refuted anything, because the former was right.
Although it is running, it will not really rely on two legs to rush, first of all, whether the road is smooth is a problem worth exploring. Therefore, everyone did not go directly to the city gate, but first returned to the compound of the office mansion as the starting place, and then ......
"Can anyone tell me what the hell it's like to hold hands like this?"
The friends who gathered around held each other's hands and stood next to each other, Nangong Rong said that his thinking was a little out of rhythm, so he stared at the store manager who was the initiator and asked this question.
And the other party's answer was also very simple: "Of course I'm playing a game, is it possible that you haven't played such a classic circle chase game?"
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Weiyin was pulled with his left hand and his right hand was pinched by an uncle who was rescued by a certain black chief, Nangong Rong felt that he would definitely immediately pick up a stone from the ground and throw it at the store manager's handsome white face.
"Sorry, just kidding. Perhaps seeing that the young man's face was not very friendly, the shopkeeper coughed lightly and changed to a serious expression, "I have a means to teleport in groups, but if you stand too far away, you can't use it." So this is the last time you can confirm it, and let's see if someone has been left behind?"
"It seems like there's one less person. Saria lowered her head and muttered for a few seconds, then looked at Nangong Rong and asked, "Now, what about your classmate who showed us the way before?"
Being reminded by the golden red short hair, Nangong Rong found out that Merlin had disappeared at some point, and he couldn't be seen nearby at all: "Strange, it stands to reason that he is the most active in escaping for his life, and he will only arrive early and will never be late or even lost?"
Naki Liston, who was holding hands with Lin Weiyin, tilted his head: "I saw that guy's words, when everyone passed through the entrance of a gloomy alley, he took the initiative to slow down and fell to the end and then entered the alley." β
The information provided by the snake girl Lori explained a lot to those with better brains, and the shopkeeper's sister in the main palace immediately showed a sudden realization expression, but Nangong Rong was obviously concerned about other things: "Why didn't you report this matter to me immediately?"
"Ah, I thought he was going to pour a soak of urine and get a strategic mark in case he got lost......"
"Stupid dog, do you think everyone else has the same stupid dog physique as you!?"
"It's really excessive, people are not stupid dogs, they are obviously huskies. β
A certain fluffy white spherical unknown creature lying on top of the shopkeeper's head suddenly burst out with an extremely unbridled laugh, and his movements were quite exaggerated.
Zhou Yi, who was the shovel officer, did not stop drinking the small things, but put on a very serious expression and said: "I see, so that the energy explosion outside the city before can be somewhat reasonable." Anyway, that guy probably won't come, let's go straight away. After leaving the city, can anyone recommend a temporary place to stay in the future?"
Nangong Rong replied without hesitation: "Yes, there are lakes outside the city of Derimper." β
ββββββββββββββββββI'm a dividing lineββββββββββββββββββ
In the slightly eerie alley, Merlin unsurprisingly meets the mysterious cloaked man. It seems that the other party has long known that he will come, and is waiting here for the arrival of the little noble.
"You've screwed up. β
The first sentence of the meeting was not very friendly, but Merlin was not surprised at all, let alone nervous, and spread his hands very indifferently to justify: "To be reasonable, if you tell the real effect of that thing, I will naturally consider a better way." And hasn't it already strengthened those monsters outside, forcing Zhou Yi and the others who don't want to fight a war of attrition to choose to retreat, this result is somewhat reasonable for you, right?"
"Since you know what I am, you dare to talk to me in such a tone? Human, do you not know the height of the sky or have you not graduated from secondary school?"
Merlin casually raised his hand to straighten his neckline to make himself look more dignified, and then replied unhurriedly, "Neither." I'm just going to talk to you about business, and if you want to talk about business, you have to be at least on an equal footing, right?"
"Talking about business?" the cloaked man couldn't help but snort coldly after carefully looking the little nobleman up and down, "I don't see anything you can trade with us, and it's probably boring to throw you outside among the low-grade cannon fodder to amuse Lord Rogge." β
"Message, what I can provide is news and intelligence, which should be a very good trading item. β
Perhaps it was the calm attitude of the little nobleman that played a wonderful role, and the cloaked man's original fierce and unfriendly tone gradually calmed down: "Intelligence, if it is about Zhou Yi and the others, our side has even investigated what they usually like to eat." β
"No, no, no, the information I want to provide is not such a thing, and besides, it won't help you conquer the whole world. Merlin said this, and suddenly tilted the corners of his mouth and showed an evil smile, "I think you should have collected a lot of information about this country before, although it is full of holes and crumbling, but after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and it will not be easy to solve it for a while, so your large army will turn around and deal with the alliance that is estimated to have been infiltrated into the bones a long time ago, right?"
"Getting to the point. β
Merlin could only stretch out his hands helplessly and sighed: "I'm really impatient, you may be very suitable as an errand runner, but you are not good at negotiating business with people......"
A purple-red skinless and eerie tentacle directly exposed to the air suddenly shot out from under the cloaked man's gray cloak, with silvery-white sharp metal claws growing on the top, and the sharp tip was facing the Adam's apple of the little nobleman.
"Do you want to die once?"
"This line is more suitable for a straight girl with three no-black lengths, you tentacle monster or save it. Also, I think you'll be interested in the whereabouts of His Majesty Ley, who is still nominally in charge of the entire empire. Although the lords of most regions have begun to disobey the royal family, the status of ruler is still there, and the country will not fall into chaos casually, not to mention the threat of you as a foreign enemy. But what if all the royal family is gone?"
The tentacles silently retracted into the cloak, and nothing unusual could be seen from the outside, as if it were a normal person inside. However, the slight chill that still lingered on Merlin's neck showed that the scene just now was not a hallucination.
"Do you know where the emperor and his sister have gone?"
"I wanted to charge extra for the information of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, but it seems that the two siblings are planning to rendezvous, and if you find His Majesty Ley, you will naturally be able to find His Royal Highness Octavier. Merlin raised his hand and touched his Adam's apple to dispel the uncomfortable chill, and continued to maintain a wicked smile on his face, "And I also know how to bypass the outer defenses of their area and go deep inside, but that will be discussed separately." β
The cloaked man sneered disdainfully, "Bypass the external defenses, we won't need to, we'll crush everything that stands in our way!"
Merlin wisely did not mention Zhou Yi and the others and yesterday's failed siege battle at this juncture, which would 100% make the other party completely fall into a dangerous state of annoyance and anger, which would be harmful to himself: "It doesn't matter, I just need to exchange the benefits for you by pointing out the location to you anyway, and I don't care about the rest." So, what is your answer?"
"Wait a minute. The cloaked man raised his hand and covered his left ear for a moment of silence, then beckoned softly to the little nobleman, "Lord Rogge has agreed to your request for a trade and is willing to talk to you about it in person." What a lucky fellow, knowing that the humans who live to see Lord Rogge up close can be counted on two hands. β
"I thought I could do it with just one hand?"
β...... Zhou Yi: They have a lot of shares in it. β
"Ah, I see. β
