"You should have just killed all those guys! Especially the baron whose name is Cred, he is obviously the mastermind! β
When there was no one around, Lei Yiming couldn't help but complain to Bai Gang.
Cao Yu said: "The Liwei just now is enough, don't you see that those aborigines are walking around when they see us now?" If we have to aggressively kill those lords in this case, it will not only cause unease among the aboriginal nobles, but also make the aborigines at the bottom too afraid of us, which is very detrimental to the subsequent exchanges. β
"Humph! I'm afraid that Kadean will let the whole group go! β
Bai Gang sneered: "Hehe, do you think that old man of Kadean is his innocent daughter?" Look at it, the wrist of that old fritter is black! β
As if to confirm Cao Yu's judgment, it didn't take long for the rumors of Cred's gang wanting to stir up trouble in order to become deserters spread in the camp, and many people didn't believe it at first, but when Cred's private soldiers stood up and "showed up", people couldn't help but disbelieve it.
The previous "artillery execution" had completely destroyed the already unreliable spiritual defense line of those private soldiers, and they were dragged underground by the Marquis of Cardian's people to the ground of the track, and all of them were recruited when they were asked.
After the confession, Credder and the others became rats crossing the street, and the next day they were sprayed with thick phlegm at the public trial. Although he was not executed because of his status as a nobleman, he was stripped of his title by the Marquis of Kadean in the name of "Guardian of the Western Frontier of the Holy Duze Empire", and then banished from the army.
However, everyone knows that this kind of exile is actually no different from the death penalty, how can you live without any defense and only provide dry food for a week in a place full of undead around!?
Credder left the camp with a stinging gaze, but no one would have anything to do with a dying man.
As for Cred's private soldiers, they were all dispersed by the Marquis of Kadean and swallowed into his own team, and the large amount of support provided by White Steel gave him the capital to win over people, and after a combination of grace and power, the army magically did not make any trouble.
After clearing the remnants of Cred, the army set off again, but the rest of the journey was far less smooth than beforeβthe undead finally reacted to their army.
"Marquis of Cardian, I'm afraid we can't move on."
Bai Gang frowned and stared at the screen in front of him, above was the situation in front of the reconnaissance plane, a large number of undead had completely blocked the road, if you wanted to continue to move forward, you could only kill a bloody way out of it. But this is not what Bai Gang wants to see, because if he continues to move forward, it means that his troops will become a wall between the undead and Yunfeng City - rescue is rescue, but blocking the gun is really forgotten!
Marquis Cadean's eyes were full of envy for the magical reconnaissance equipment of drones, and he was reluctant to take his eyes off the screen even when he spoke.
"It's true that we can't move forward, but it's enough to get here, and the rest is to wait for the ship from Yunfeng City to pick up people."
Bai Gang looked at the wide river not far away, as long as he followed this river all the way to the east in less than half a day, he could reach Yunfeng City, and then enter the city through the Water Gate. When it was besieged, Yunfeng City relied on this method to obtain supplies from the outside world.
While the two were talking, one of the Marquis de Cadean's attendants hurried over with a letterbox, and the Marquis de Cadeon opened it and laughed.
"Yunfeng City's fleet has already set off, and it will be here in the afternoon. His Majesty the Emperor has agreed to your request that your troops not enter the city, but His Majesty wants you to enter the city to discuss the fight against the undead. β
Bai Gang nodded and said, "Since I came, I naturally want to go to meet you, so I'll go and prepare." β
In the afternoon, Yunfeng City's fleet really arrived.
The ships sent by the Holy Duze Empire were all warships, a kind of wide-body ship with sails and oars, the materials were very thick, and the sides were also covered with a layer of copper armor to strengthen the defense, and there were obvious raised ramming angles in the bow of the ship. The sail is not the soft sail used in Europe, but the hard sail used in China.
The deck of the battleship was equipped with a small crossbow machine, and there was a box above the crossbow machine, which seemed to be convenient for quick reloading, and even when docking, there were soldiers on these crossbow machines who were vigilantly aiming at the sky.
The holes and blood in the sails of several warships show that this trip is not so risk-free, but fortunately, only a few flying undead can pose a threat to the ships in the water, and it is not too difficult to deal with.
A richly dressed noble minister disembarked from the ship, surrounded by the guards, and as soon as he saw the Marquis of Cardion, he went up and gave him a bear hug.
"Kadean, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are still the most reliable! His Majesty the Emperor was very moved when he heard that all of your troops were wounded but still came, and deliberately asked me to bring people from the Royal Priesthood to treat them. β
As he spoke, the priest behind the noble minister nodded to the Marquis of Carden.
Marquis Kadean returned the salute and said, "Let's talk about the old topic in Yunfeng City, it's too dangerous here, and we still have a lot of things to do." Ah, by the way, is your ship enough, in addition to the troops, I also brought some food, and they will all be transported into Yunfeng City together. β
"Grain!? That's great! β
The aristocratic minister laughed excitedly, food is an extremely important material when it is besieged, although Yunfeng City has a lot of food stocks, but the population is also large, it is always good to have a little more reserves. Moreover, now that the price of grain is rising year by year in this situation of chaos and undead, which lord doesn't regard food as more expensive than gold, and those who are willing to take out food to support Yunfeng City are all proper irons!
At this time, the aristocratic minister saw Bai Gang and immediately greeted him.
"This must be the Count of Monte Cristo of Huaguo, thank you very much for your assistance to Du Ze, His Majesty the Emperor specially mentioned to me, I hope you can come to Yunfeng City with the Marquis of Cardian, and discuss the next war by the way."
Bai Gang nodded: "This is exactly what I wanted, but before that, I have a small request that I don't know if it can be met." β
"Say it, as long as we can do it, we will do our best."
"I'm afraid there will be a lot of communication between us in the next period of time, but I can't be resident in Yunfeng City, so I hope to be able to send a team of envoys, I don't know if it's okay."
"Envoy? Of course, this is no problem, even if I don't ask Your Majesty, I can agree to come down now, isn't it very normal for the two sides to exchange and send envoys? β
"Then I'll let them go to Yunfeng City with the ship now."
"No problem, Lord Count."
