Chapter 135: Captain Westin
A few days later, the administrative hall of Morton City.
A huge venue has already been noisy. The elders, you and I have a word, and there is a lot of discussion, insisting that Bilolinli will not send troops. They looked agitated and eloquent, as if their opinions were all for the sake of Morton.
Bilorin, who was sitting in the position of the city lord, had a red face and could no longer speak. Only on the rostrum, a tall swordsman figure was silent, silent from beginning to end. He is the leader of the Wind Wolf Mercenary Regiment, Han Westin. A tenth-order Sanctuary powerhouse, the strongest in Morton City.
"Captain Westin, what is your opinion?" Bilorinli turned to ask Han Westin,
"As a military expert, you should know where the alliance is now. The Wind Wolf Mercenary Regiment is the most important military force in Morton City, do you also think that if you defend Morton City and let those lizardmen break through Haruman City, these greedy bandits will be able to retreat to the Dark Swamp by themselves after plundering it?"
"Just call me Han. Your Excellency, Lord of the City. Han-Westin stood up, bowed to Beloline, and replied.
The head of the Westin regiment is in his thirties, and he is tall, more than two meters tall. But he has a white face that is completely different from his figure, like a learned scholar. It is said that Captain Westin has a rare special bloodline in his body to reach such heights at this age.
"Honorable City Lord, and Elders. As a Morton, I have been guarding Morton City for five or six years since I inherited the legacy of the old leader. I asked myself that in the past few years, I have fully obeyed the sacred covenant and guarded the safety of the entire city of Morton. ”
After a pause, Captain Westin continued,
"Lizardmen have always been a big problem in the Alliance, and successive city lords have also reported to the elves many times, but they have always not been taken seriously by the elves. This time the lizardmen poured out of their nests and besieged Haruman City, which was definitely not a coincidence, but a war that had been planned for a long time. There's no way to retreat into the swamp so easily! Perhaps our next target is Morton. ”
Bi Luolinli's eyes lit up, and she sat up straight, staring at the tall warrior.
"But, my lords. How much do we know about the lizardmen?Where are their territories?Who is the leader?How many troops they have? We don't know anything! Let's take a look at the attitude of the other Union cities, so far, none of the city-states have officially sent troops! Although I do understand the importance of rescuing Haruman City. However, Your Excellency, under such circumstances, even if I bring more than 2,000 brothers of the Wind Wolf Mercenary Regiment to the battlefield, I am afraid that I will not be able to save the crisis of the Alliance. ”
"But are we just going to sit back and die?" asked Belorine angrily.
"Of course not, but Your Excellency can use some personal connections. I heard that Your Excellency and the Sea Elves maintain a fairly good friendship, so perhaps we can ask for their help. In addition to this, you should urge the other cities, and if we send troops together, there should be a good chance that these lizardmen will be repelled as well. The head of the Westin regiment said eloquently. It seems that he does have a very detailed understanding of the current situation, but it is clear that he is not in favor of sending troops to rescue the city of Haruman.
In the political system of the Southern Free City-States, the greatest task and right of the city lord is to help the elves collect taxes. The lord of the city was only a representative of the lord of a manor, and had no right to mobilize these mercenaries except for certain administrative powers.
When she returned to the house, Bilorinli was furious, but there was nothing she could do with them. I had to call Zuode over again to discuss.
"Brigit, maybe I have a solution to this alliance crisis. Zode said suddenly.
"Oh, whatever, it's impossible to count on the elves. Is there anyone else who can help us?" asked Belorinli, curiously.
"Of course not, we still have to solve this matter on our own. Zode said,
"As far as I know, this army of lizardmen is led by a legendary lizardman known as the 'Lord of the Swamp', who has established a kingdom dominated by lizardmen in the depths of the dark swamp. And this time, in order to defeat Haruman, the most powerful man in the alliance, this legendary powerhouse personally went out. Well, I think, or the current swamp kingdom, there shouldn't be much defense......"
"You want to sneak up on the lizardmen's lair?" asked Belorinli, whose mouth grew incredulous,
"However, we are unfamiliar with the swamp terrain, and we don't know where the lizardmen's nest is or how much defense there is. What's more, it's an area where humans can tuck!What's more, we don't have enough armed forces to sneak attack!" Bilorinli asked all the questions in one breath, completely disapproving of Zod's plan.
"It doesn't take much of an army, just more than two hundred mercenaries are enough. This sneak attack is mainly relying on the power of wizards and our church, and the mercenaries are just trying to protect these people. Zuode slowly explained,
"We have the strongest wizarding institution in the entire alliance, with more than thirty official wizards, plus the priests in the church, enough to complete this mission. As for the swamps, we also have a good guide who can easily lead us to the lizardmen's lair......"
......
When he saw the dragonman prince Tacneo again, Zod didn't even recognize him.
The original strong physique and ferocious flesh are now completely invisible. The trembling dragon man in front of him could barely support his weight, and although he had not yet lost weight to the point of being skinny and bones, he had completely lost the sharpness and strength of a strong man. Even if Zode lifted his power seal, this dragon man did not fully recover. In just over a month, this once arrogant dragon man prince has lost his unruly personality, and after seeing Zuo De, he hugged Zuo De's thigh and cried,
"Please spare me, sir, I know I'm wrong. I will never dare to come to human territory again. It's horrible here! I could pay the ransom, a lot of it!"
"How much medicine did you give him?" Zode whispered to Fianna behind him.
Fianna blushed and stuck out her cute little tongue and said nothing.
