Chapter 686: Ink Afterglow VI
The loss of hunger and the fall of heroes has tormented the warriors of the Elegy Fortress for most of the day.
Since the morning, some of the fighters have not even eaten the previous night, and apart from receiving a small amount of drinking water, they have been forced to feel the pain of hunger.
When they heard that they were going to be taken to the school grounds inside the fortress, they couldn't help but feel a little frightened in their hearts.
Barbarians, to kill captives?
This is not an impossible thing, at least when the orcs invaded the middle of the continent, they burned and looted along the way, and the places they passed through can only be described as desolate.
When more than 100 soldiers of the Elegy Fortress came to the fortress school yard one after another, they found that they were not the only ones.
The school grounds of the fortress were large enough for nearly 10,000 people to assemble in the school grounds.
The soldiers of the fortress saw these people in the school yard, and they were a little familiar.
It's a warrior from Dirk City.
It took Xiun one night to transfer all the captives of Dirk City to the fortress.
These captives had been starving and freezing all night in the school yard, and now when they saw the warriors of the Elegy Fortress, both sides were embarrassed, and they had nothing to say to each other because of their sense of shame, and they lost to the dragon leader who was regarded as a barbarian in their eyes, what else was there to say......
The more than 100 people who stood in the Elegy Fortress in the school yard, at a cursory glance, they were all officers of the fortress, and the youngest was also a small leader at the level of squad leader.
If all the non-commissioned officers in these fortresses are killed, Long Hui will no longer have any worries in the hinterland of the empire before the reinforcements of Rubik the Great rush back......
"Yes, these barbarians are going to kill us!"
"Are we going to just be tied up?"
"I, we're going to ......"
Before the words of resistance could continue, they all stopped talking, because on the walls around the school yard, there were more than a thousand crossbowmen.
Most people have already seen the power of the Longhui crossbow array, and when they saw the tip of the crossbow reflecting the glory of the noon sun, they could only choose to close their mouths tightly when they were unarmed.
Xiu Yin stood on the city wall and looked at the disheveled low-level generals of the Motu Empire below, their future was no longer in their own hands, but in ......
"I'll let you go!"
Xiuin's voice resounded throughout the schoolyard.
Even in the Dragon Radiance Realm, Xiu Yin rarely blessed his voice with magic, but now, Xiu Yin needed to make every warrior of the Ink Earth Empire listen carefully.
"What? He said he was going to let us go?"
"My God, it's impossible!"
The warriors of the Motu Empire couldn't believe their ears.
Xiu Yin raised his voice again, "Lead each of your subordinates back to where you belong, and I am here to announce that the southeast of the Motu Empire has been owned by the Dragon Hui Territory!"
Although all the warriors of the Motu Empire knew that Xiu Yin was talking big, no one dared to really question it.
The city of Dirk and the Elegy Fortress in the hinterland were occupied, and geographically it was indeed separating the southeast of the empire, and the main combat forces in the south of the empire followed Rubic the Great to the south, and there was no other combat power in the southern towns except for some old and weak security forces, and the garrison in the north and the remnants of the Holy Alliance had been circling for half a year, and they were already a little exhausted.
Now that the Elegy Fortress and Dirk City have fallen into the hands of the Long Hui Lord, it is true that the southeast of the empire is controlled by Long Hui, and most importantly, the intelligence system of the empire seems to have some problems......
......
The Motu Empire almost enjoys the richest central fertile soil in the continent, with few mountains, many plains, and even more underground mineral deposits, which can allow the entire empire to ignite the soul energy lamp day and night.
Two carriages can run parallel on a flat and wide official road, and four carriages can pass in opposite directions.
At this time, from the north, a group of fast horses galloped quickly on the official road, and the knights on the horses were dressed in imperial light armor.
The emblem on the chest of the armor is a golden horse and shield, which is a light horse from the royal family.
Looking at the way he galloped south, I thought there was something important to report.
Sou!
A silver light broke through the air with a muffled grunt of the horseman, who flew off his horse and fell to the ground.
"Chief, this is the sixth in a day, and it is said that this empire is rich, and this armor must be worth dozens of gold coins!"
A few people came out of the grass beside the official road, and one of them bent down and touched the armor of the knight who was already cold, and the badge inlaid on the armor was real gold.
The leader of these men, the burly man and Charlotte in charge of the intelligence department of the Long Hui Collar, also bent down, put his hand into the gap in the knight's armor, removed the part of the breastplate, and found a letter in his underwear.
"Just prick your opponent's eyes and they won't see anything......"
These were the words that Shuin had said to him before he parted from him.
Charlotte was unimpressed at first, but since entering the Motu Empire, it has to be said that Xiuin's strategy has plunged the region of the Motu Empire into an extremely panicked situation.
Even Rubic the Great, who was rushing back all the way north, gradually lost contact with the envoys of the imperial capital, and could only rely on the correspondence of the teleportation circle.
However, the small villages and towns in the region were not so lucky, they did not have small teleportation circles, and they could not have them, so Charlotte's troops were ghosts that roamed around the region, and it was these messengers that they assassinated.
, the imperial capital, has really become blind!
......
On the other side, the Elegy Fortress was even more lively at this time, and the captured soldiers were released one by one, and they went to find their captain, and then walked out of the fortress in a long line with the captain as if they were going home.
"Just let them go back?"
Standing on the rampart of the city and looking at the long line below, Chris felt that Shuin's approach was not wise.
Not to mention the nearly 30,000 captives, Xiu Yin Jiang Ran also ordered some residents and merchants in the fortress to be driven out, and now there are only more than 3,000 people left in the Elegy Fortress, which is a lot colder in an instant.
Looking at the figures of the last group of soldiers and civilians of the Elegy Fortress heading north, Xiu Yin handed Martial's short sword into Chris's hands, "After taking the Ink Empire, how about handing over this fortress to you as a governor?"
"Huh?!"
Chris thought he had misheard, but Xiuin's expression didn't look like a joke, and the lords of the Dragonlight Lords he knew would never make such jokes.
"What's the matter? Hehe, this short knife is good enough, not to mention the Paladin's trophy, that's enough!"
Looking at the short knife in his hand, Chris's expression was already extremely excited.
Chris felt the warmth of the glory and a smile completely spread across his face.
But immediately there was a solemn face.
"Glory to the Great Lord!"
