Chapter 445: Just over there
Speaking of the situation, when you read this chapter, I should have been on my way to the airport, flying home, and this chapter was also written in a hurry yesterday when I was still in the company.
The home is too far away, more than 12 hours by plane, it will be there in the early morning, and then I will go back to the grave tomorrow, and I will be busy for a day, so it is likely that there will be no update tomorrow, so I will take a leave in advance.
It will continue to be updated during the Chinese New Year, but it is not guaranteed every day, so it depends on the situation when the time comes.
....................................
Have you ever seen the sight of hundreds of people taking prisoners and thousands of enemies?
Such a scene was in front of Langdon now.
As the defender of the city, when the lord and the commander are killed by the enemy, and the enemy attacks from all sides, the morale of the enemies in the city is completely broken.
There may still be enemies who want to resist, but their resistance is completely suppressed by the sudden opening of the city gates and the entry of strange enemies who can easily pick their arrows away.
Although it's not a bloodless blade, it's not much different from a bloodless blade.
Of course, there were more defenders in the city than those on the walls, and although they had been consumed a lot during the initial attack on Yuanwang Town, there was still a garrison of nearly 2,000 men in the city - this was originally intended to continue to increase the number of troops in the area of Jumas, and even to prepare for the attack on the Hovlans.
Now, however, not only have they lost their comrades who had gone to attack Yuanwang Town in the early days, but they themselves are now prisoners.
Nearly 2,000 troops were struck into a clearing in a corner of the city, and under Langdon's orders, not only were they disarmed, but they were all stripped naked and monitored by the lizardmen spearmen and the evil breakers.
The wicked, on the other hand, followed Langdon into the city and began to plunder the city.
Don't disturb the people, this is the basic rule, after all, it is a civilized person from another civilized world, and Langdon is not in the habit of slaughtering cities.
In this case, gold coins, which are difficult to circulate in the underground world, have become the best loot materials, plus some relatively rare materials that are not large in size and weight, as well as the supplies needed for the next operation of the troops.
So much so that when Langdon led the people on a round of plunder, many of the city's inhabitants were still confused—they weren't even among the targets of the plunder.
From the time the city was attacked, to the city being breached, to the besieging enemy starting to plunder, until finally they left after plundering, it had nothing to do with these ordinary residents.
In this underground world where the law of the jungle eats the strong, it is definitely the first time to attack a city like this and plunder like this......
Seeing Langdon returning with the troops again, Lu Zijing took the lead to greet him, and a plate of beautifully shaped cakes was placed in front of him.
"This city lord is still a woman, and she actually has the habit of eating at night, isn't she afraid of gaining weight?" Langdon's slightly puzzled voice explained Lu Zijing's doubts, "We happened to see this when we went to search the City Lord's Mansion, it seems that she ran into us before she could move, this cake looks very beautiful, it should be delicious, and it is a waste to stay, so it is better for us to help her solve it." ”
Zhu Lingqi also came over on the side, and was also gagged by the cake without opening his mouth.
"My lord, you still want to eat at this time, isn't it appropriate?" Lu Zijing's eyebrows fluttered while eating, but she still didn't miss the opportunity to complain, "Moreover, after the robbery is over, isn't it time to study what to do with those guys?"
She pointed to the two thousand "light pigs" huddled together one by one in the distance.
"They...... They are the biggest takeaway from us this time. Langdon touched his chin and looked at the captives with a look of ill intent.
Seeing Langdon and a few people eating here from a short distance made the captives feel unusually angry, but they were also even more frightened, daring to completely ignore them in front of them to do these things, these people must have no fear, and even probably did it to provoke them, once they did something out of control in anger, it gave the other party an excuse to slaughter them cleanly.
With the help of brain holes, they became more honest one by one.
"Remember the Hovlans' guide who showed us the way?" Langdon asked, then said, "If I'm not mistaken, she should be on her way back by now, and then, it won't be long before these captives become their captives, and possibly even their soldiers, and we'll have a lot of supplies." ”
"I knew it was. Lu Zijing's eyes were full of smiles, she preferred to make deals to war.
The siege was launched in the middle of the night, according to the time on earth, and by the morning of the time on earth, the besieging force had already breached the city and left with two thousand prisoners.
Such a speed is simply a miracle in this world, but this miracle is destined not to be known by too many people.
A few days later, Langdon, who had returned to the border between the Ethan Hawke and Hovlan families, waited for the Hovlan family, and the one who led the way was the one who had guided them before, and the leader of the group was also an acquaintance, the woman named Zora who had first brought the Hovlan family delegation to his territory to establish trade relations with him.
Seeing hundreds of men on Langdon's side carrying thousands of prisoners and many carts full of equipment, even the well-informed Zola almost stared at her.
She still remembered that Langdon had gone to the Ethan Hawke family through the Houffland family half a month ago, and as an old acquaintance, she had also visited Langdon.
At that time, she was very opposed to Langdon wanting to trouble the Ethan Hawke family with only 800 troops.
This is not the beginning when Vivien ran to find trouble with a force of 100 people, it was clearly for diplomatic purposes, so she didn't think about really starting a fight.
And Langdon is purely looking for trouble, and even to put it bluntly, he is really waging war against others, and it is towards the Ethan Hawke family, which has quite good military strength, so his 800 troops are quite insufficient.
But after only ten days, and now that she looks at it, she only feels that she has underestimated Langdon too much, and at the same time sighs for the strength of Langdon's troops, and there is no other superfluous thought.
This prisoner handover is actually equivalent to a transaction, and the Hovlan family obviously has external worries, coupled with the shock caused by Langdon's battle, it really shocked the Hofland family.
So, without much haggling, the Hofland family agreed to Langdon's terms.
And then......
"Lord Langdon, are you sure you won't come with us?" Zora looked at Langdon in surprise, originally thinking that Langdon should go back after avenging the Ethan Hawke family, since it was the Houfflan family when he came, of course he should go from this side when he went back, but now it seems that Langdon obviously didn't mean this.
"Of course. Langdon smiled: "There are two things to do when I come out this time, and now I have only done one, it's time to do the other thing, and it's ......."
Langdon glanced up in the other direction, then said, "If you want to go back, it's better to go over there." ”
Zola was stunned again, of course she knew where Langdon was looking.
There, it used to be called the Chivita family.
And half a year ago, it has changed owners, and now it is renamed the Bedasta family!
