Chapter 31: Enlightenment
The moment he saw the earth dragon, even with Lin Xuan's indifferent character, his face changed.
"Let the men of the other three gates speed up - wait, press all the captives through, and the gates will be thickened when they are blocked!"
"That, sir, thickening is ......"
"It's as thick as you can! If the materials are not enough, all the close ones will be demolished! β
"Yesβ" The soldier left in fear.
Lin Xuan frowned, and ordered the other soldier: "Gather all the men over the age of fifteen and under forty in the city - just in the central square, and seal the north gate immediately, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order."
The soldier hesitated and replied, "My lord, there are some civilians outside......
"I don't want to repeat it a second time," he glanced at coldly and walked away without looking back.
After Lin Xuan left, the soldier trembled as if he realized it, and his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.
One of the guards couldn't look at it and pulled him to a sheltered place from the rain: "Don't you want to die, you dare to talk to that demon like that......"
The soldier was mixed with fear and fear: "But those people still asked me to take care of them in the morning, why do you ...... now?"
"Alas, it's not good to count their fate, and they still do this kind of thing at this time......"
The discussion between the two soldiers was not mentioned, and their eyes turned to the square in the center of the Olds.
The soldiers who got Lin Xuan's order ignored the heavy rain and "invited" everyone out from house to house, of course, the process would definitely not be very pleasant.
didn't have time to take into account the reactions of these people, three hours later, after Lin Xuan received the news that the assembly was completed, he came directly to the central square.
The total number of people reached nearly 30,000, crowded in the square, from the height of the view is a black oppressive piece, I have heard that there are more than 1,000 soldiers, there is no extension, there are 10,000 soldiers, grounded in the sky, this time it is exactly seen.
When Lin Xuan stood on the high platform, the noisy atmosphere suddenly quieted, looking down, through the rain curtain, it was a pair of fear, anger, and hateful eyes, it can be said that all this was caused by Lin Xuan's own behavior, originally, he could also choose to be like him Warun, become a hero of the country and the nation, but in the end, he still chose this road with no way back.
"The enemy's army is coming" facial expression, the first sentence of his mouth made the people below uproar, Lin Xuan let almost all the soldiers follow Lyudmila to Bujito The news, but he never tried to hide it.
Before those people could stop, Lin Xuan threw out another bombshell: "The enemy has Tenardiye's troops, of course - those 'dragons' are indispensable."
Immediately, not only civilians, but even the remaining 1,000 soldiers also caused an uproar.
If it is just an ordinary soldier, relying on the walls of Ortz can still resist one or two, waiting for reinforcements, but with the addition of "dragon", it is completely two concepts.
Not to mention the city wall for the time being, the city gate, which is less than half a meter thick, can't even withstand the several collisions of the "dragon". At this time, some of the soldiers finally understood why Lin Xuan had sealed the three city gates except for the north city gate, so another question came to mind - why didn't all the city gates be closed?
It's a fluke to say that Lin Xuan's decision to close the city gate was not to deal with the "dragon" in the first place, after all, at that time he didn't even know that Tenardiye would make a comeback, just in case, after all, Zhan Ji also has the ability to break the city with one blow.
"Quiet" commanded in a low voice, his cold gaze swept over the crowd of black oppression, forced by Lin Xuan's bloody methods in the past, the crowd quickly quieted down, only the gray sky, and the raindrops were still falling.
"Now, there are only two choices left before you - whether to wait quietly for the city to be destroyed and let the enemy plunder your property, or to take up arms and fight to the death"
"How can we fight to the death?! The other party has a dragon! There was a rhetorical question of breaking the jar in the crowd, which also aroused the same feeling of many people, according to the convention, the one who can face the "dragon" head-on, except for the battle queen, is a large-scale knight charge, according to the current situation of Orz, the war queen does not, and the large-scale knight charge is not even thought about.
Thinking of this, the people below simply coaxed.
Lin Xuan looked indifferently at the distorted faces below.
"Those dragons, I'll get rid of them" was not a high-pitched voice, and it was heard far away in the rain. "North City Gate, I will guard it" in a flat tone, as if narrating something that is normal.
"Are you kidding?"
"Who does he think he is?"
"How dare a cripple say that......"
"I think he's trying to take advantage of the chaos to escape......"
After a brief silence, the crowd burst into flames again, this time mixed with mockery and disdain.
Lin Xuan was indifferent, just silent, until the crowd quieted down a little: "I'm in front of the north city gate, you only need to guard the other three closed city gates - if I escape, you can surrender directly, or ......" tone "Do you think Tenardiye will accept a traitor who killed their family heir?" β
Everyone looked at each other.
"It's not that it's unacceptable......"
"If he really ran away in front of so many people, we will have a reason to face Senhime-sama after we surrender......"
"But he's a traitor, and he may regret what he said......"
"Just because he is a traitor, all the people of Tenardier should not accept his surrender......"
In the end, the 30,000 civilians of Orz and Lin Xuan completed the agreement.
Ness Isser will defend the northern gates alone, and if he escapes or dies in battle, Orz will surrender unconditionally, and if he does not die or flee in violation of the agreement, then the 30,000 civilians of Orz will hold out until the last moment.
Dramatically, Lin Xuan was not trusted by anyone because of his betrayal, and now he is "trusted" by the commoners of Orz because of his betrayal.
In any case, Tenardier's advance would not be halted by what had happened in Olzli, and the next day, the repaired army of Tenardier had arrived in front of Olds and surrounded the ancient city. And those hideous and strong "dragons" also appeared in front of everyone in Orz.
on the city walls.
A man wearing a half-body cloth armor that had been made overnight stared at the huge body of the earth dragon below in horror, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and his body was trembling constantly, almost losing the courage to fight.
Whispered to the other man beside him, "Otherwise, let's surrender...... This kind of enemy can't be defeated no matter what, even Senhime-sama should understand it......"
The man next to him was also terrified, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "The man in Olds is not a traitor!" Since the agreement has been signed, there is no going back! Or are you not even as good as that demon?"
The man hurriedly retorted, "Who...... Says who! I'm just confused for a moment......" Glancing in the direction of Tenardier again, he stammered, "Who knows...... You know, that despicable rebel...... Traitor, are you already running away......"
As soon as these words fell, a piercing creak came from the heavy three-meter-high city gate, and a gap that allowed one person to pass through was opened.
The figure shrouded in a pitch-black cloak slowly stepped out.
Slowly dismantling the bandage on his right hand, at this moment, the mood was not as fearful as expected, or nervous, some, just as calm as ever, or even indifferent.
(Since it is your own choice, you should have the consciousness to suffer the consequences...... οΌ
Looking up at the still gray sky, the rain was still falling.
(I guess it's the last time...... οΌ
