The much-anticipated royal road plot was not successfully staged in the end, and although Nangong Rong used his housekeeping skills and received the help of his cheap sister, he still couldn't compete with thousands of massive miscellaneous soldiers and couldn't stop the other party from attacking the city. Of course, the boy didn't care about this outcome, he was only one person, so at best he could only do his best to have a clear conscience, and at the same time, from the beginning, the boy had no responsibility to defend the city, and it was none of his business to lose the city.

When the royal family abandoned the city and fled, Ridana was already doomed to be unable to hold on. What Nangong Rong did was just throw a stone into the oncoming waves, which could make some splashes, but it couldn't stop the other party's advance.

The alliance has gathered a large number of troops, equipment and supplies, and the empire has repeatedly fought a tug-of-war for nearly a year, completely turning the plain outside the city into a flesh mill, but the imperial capital of Ledana, which has never even been able to touch the city walls, has finally fallen today, but it is not the alliance that has paid a huge sacrifice and price for this city, but the uninvited and dangerous alien race from the void outside the world.

No one knows what happened to Redana after the occupation and what happened inside the city, because the people who were able to escape were those who were close to the city gates, and they did not see what the monster did when it entered the city, and those who saw the monster did not escape, it was as simple as that.

The Salturin Empire still exists tenaciously, but it is only on the surface, the army belonging to the little emperor Ley has been completely destroyed by the demon king of another world, and the lords who have been trying to get rid of the control of the royal family because of their own ambitions have finally waited for the long-awaited opportunity, and the era of division within the empire has finally come.

As for the imperial capital, it would be no good for the heroes to take back the city that was destined to be returned to the royal family, and it would also provoke the army of the demon king of another world, so after the fall of Ridana, the nearby lords did not send troops to save them, but retreated to their own territory for fear of avoiding it.

Therefore, on the way when Nangong Rong made a large puppet to carry everyone back to Dressper, he did not encounter any interrogation at all, and there were not even bandits who would normally appear from the defeated soldiers [transferred to another class], after all, ...... Few people were able to escape from the battlefield back to Ledana.

By the way, everyone went back by land, not in a flying puppet like when they came to the imperial capital before. Because Nangong Rong would gather his compatriots to rush with him every time he went to a village, town or even city, and he had a lot of time to organize a team of nearly 100 people, and more importantly, the young man's approach was not opposed by Zhou Yi and others, although there was also no overt support.

Since Nangong Rong and the others were riding in puppets, and the speed was much faster than that of those who escaped from Ledana, the people in other cities who did not know the situation on the front line did not believe what the boy said, and no one was willing to join the escape team except for the compatriots who trusted the boy. Nangong Rong was not reluctant to do this, and after leaving these guys to fend for themselves, he finally arrived at the lake camp outside Dresspel at noon on the fourth day.

"The country is almost finished. After seeing Nangong Rong, Di Siya neither picked up the dust for everyone nor carefully checked Lin Weiyin's physical condition, and directly said to the young man, "After Ledana was captured, the abyss began to purge in an orderly manner, and they always retreated in the city without going out, and their main force did not suddenly kill back as everyone feared, and directly entered the territory of the alliance and went on a rampage inside. Faced with this situation, guess what those lords in the country are preparing to do?"

The situation seems to be very serious, otherwise Di Siya would not have been in a hurry to discuss it before Nangong Rong and the others settled down and met directly.

The young man suddenly chuckled in his heart, and had some rather bad premonition: "Could it be that they are going to trouble Octavir?"

With the total destruction of the main army, the authority of the royal family has become as thin as the presence of Nakiris, but the siblings are still the overt rulers of the country, so some of the most intelligent heroes among the lords will plan to [welcome] them back in order to grasp the name of righteousness. Originally, Nangong Rong was completely ignorant of these things, but Lin Weiyin's world has the Internet and various film and television works with related themes, and then there is no then.

"Well, Sao Nian understands pretty quickly. At present, there are three lords who have sent troops, and the rest either think it is not worth it or choose to wait and see, although it is not a rush to the top, but it is still not easy for a certain old duke who has also lost the main force to deal with. ”

A blonde girl with a beautiful side ponytail walked from the back of the group, raised her hand to interrupt Disya's mouth and said, "Although I want to sigh that chaos has begun to arise in the interior so soon, but in comparison, I am more curious about where did you get this information?"

"Courtesy of the lord of Dresspel. The eldest sister spread her hand very casually and pursed her lips, and the expression on her face looked a little painful when she explained, "That guy is from the royal camp after all, and he knows the situation of Ledana very well. In addition, he had a special way to contact the imperial capital, and after sending his subordinates outside the city and even sneaking into the city to investigate, he got the relevant information about the current imperial capital. As for the three lords who have taken action, they have always been the objects of the eldest princess's vigilance, so it is strange that there is no surveillance. ”

Although he is a guy with the potential of wall grass who needs to send someone to [pacify], the city lord is still relatively loyal to the royal family before completely falling to one side, and he does not forget to provide support for the royal family while preparing for his own retreat.

This support is to find a way to ask Nangong Rong and the others for help, because at the moment, even if the city lord gritted his teeth and endured the pain and took out the money in his small treasury and donated it to Octavier, it was impossible for the eldest princess to reorganize a well-trained army in a short period of time, and it was almost the same to recruit a group of rabble. So Nangong Rong, who was a ready-made combat force, entered the sight of the city lord, but unfortunately or fortunately, the young man was not in the camp, and the task of negotiation fell on Di Siya.

As for how many pieces of meat the eldest sister bit off from the other party's head, let's not discuss this issue for the time being.

Seeing that Emilina showed a look full of understanding and didn't seem to plan to continue asking, Nangong Rong next to her hurriedly raised his hand: "I'm sorry, please wait a minute, I don't understand a question, what do you mean by the cleaning you just mentioned?"

When the eldest sister heard this, she couldn't help but suddenly nodded her head and said seriously: "Yes, you shouldn't have seen it on our Internet over there, after all, those things have been clicked off by Lord River Crab." The so-called purge refers to the organized and systematic infecting of a city by the Abyss after it has been captured, lasting anywhere from a day to a month, depending on the level of resistance of the survivors. To put it simply, it is to turn the citizens into abyssal monsters, men, women and children, without exception, because the abyss does not need the population of other races to work for it. ”

"I thought that even if those citizens who didn't have time to escape would die in the end, they were killed by a monster when they were forced to go out after running out of food at home, didn't I expect the abyss to do such a thing in an organized manner?"

The blonde girl raised her index finger and replied with a very serious look: "To the abyss, the local population is the reserve force, and they are very good at transforming these populations into monsters in their own camp. That's right, just like in a game where you can take over an enemy planet and make all the population of the opposing race into canned food in an orderly manner, although the transformation is a little different. ”

After an eerie moment of silence, Disya decisively gave the girl a thumbs up: "Very good, wise daily bombing star gamer +100." ”

Nangong Rong was calm about this, but Zhou Yi, who was a good blonde girl, was obviously unbearable, and immediately rushed to Zhenggong's side and slapped her on the shoulder: "You guys got the wrong line book, okay, even if you haven't updated to the fried star version now, okay, can you be a little more serious!?"

The girl pretended to be "I'm cute" and agreed sweetly, which made the shopkeeper couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, while on the other side, Di Siya lit a cigarette and bit it in her mouth to change the topic simply and casually: "It doesn't matter what kind of thing happens, the key is that the city lord has made a commission, hoping that Nangong Rong can go to the old duke's domain with the name of the eldest princess to help the eldest princess repel the enemy." During this period, the city lord said that he would take good care of the people in the camp, do you want to take orders?"

"What's going on with this kind of statement of winning the first and even winning streaks, why don't I know when I became a big man? In addition, the city lord's guards were still thinking about how to dismantle me not long ago, but now they came over to send a commission to tease me?"

"It is precisely because the city guards not only failed to dismantle you but were beaten to the point that your identity as a big man was confirmed, and thanks to this, the other party is seriously entrusting, not asking you to do things with a condescending attitude and just throwing two dollars away, and they even have special preparations for written documents. ”

Unlike the others, the lord of Dresspel was a merchant, and it was not surprising that he would choose to do so for the sake of profit. Despite this, Nangong Rong still felt very relieved, even if he was only a young man for the time being, the big men of the empire put him in an equal position to discuss matters, instead of calling around casually with no one in his eyes, which was already an improvement.

Even if it's not a big step.

"Alright then, let's take a look at the reward prepared by the city lord first. Nangong Rong tried to calm down and maintained a expressionless face, and said in a deep voice, "To be reasonable, I still have hundreds of compatriots to resettle, and now that there is chaos within the empire, there will definitely be more people who choose to flee here, I feel that I should not leave, unless the city lord can offer enough compensation to make my heart move." ”

"The three thousand slaves, most of them Han Chinese, who were supposed to be sent to the mines in the southern part of the empire, were bought by the lord of the city at great cost when the caravan passed by Dresspel yesterday. Disya took a leisurely puff of green smoke and then tilted the corners of her mouth and smiled, "How about it, it's a reward that your kid will never refuse, right?"

“...... It really is. The young man with black lines on his head couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and sighed deeply, "But where did such a large number of slaves come from at this time?"

"A few days ago, the Imperial army prepared a deception on the side of the Echo Canyon, and it is not clear how it happened, but in any case, they managed to trick the people who were stuck in the canyon out, and then defeated them, and these slaves were the prisoners of that battle. The above is an explanation from the city lord, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, anyway, they are right in the city of Drynpel. ”

Disya's explanation made Nangong Rong shut his mouth, the young man knew that most of this matter was true, otherwise, how could the Han people, who were already called an ethnic minority in terms of the overall number of people in the empire, easily gather three thousand people, and only the other side of the Echo Canyon could do it.

In other words, Nangong Rong could not give up helping these slaves no matter what, they can be said to be the last strong Han people in the Salturin Empire, and they are also the hope that only many old, weak, sick and disabled young people have gathered at present, and will revive the nation in the future.

"Well, I'll admit it was the city lord who won. After being silent for a long time, Nangong Rong finally spoke again, "But leaving the Razfeld plane is a doomed thing, what if I'm not here, what will happen to the portal?

Nangong Rong feared that Octavier would take advantage of his compatriots to play tricks and even reneg on the cooperation between the two sides, using the juvenile as an excuse to completely wipe out the Han people from the empire. The empire had done it many times, and Nangong Rong didn't think that he would be the lucky one to escape this kind of catastrophe.

"In that case, we can lend you a makeshift one-time portal that is easy to set up. The blonde girl nearby suddenly stopped selling cuteness to the helpless shopkeeper and joined the conversation instead, "Of course, the teleportation location needs to be adjusted, because the default teleportation destination is a mobile fortress in the Alliance. Well, but we also have a request on our side, after all, this is a reciprocal deal between the two sides, isn't it?"

The young man was very surprised by this, tilted his head suspiciously, and said, "Didn't I already agree to participate in your boss crusade, as long as you find where Rogge is, you can call me over at any time." ”

"No, quite the opposite. I hope you can quit the group and then form a team on your own. ”
