Chapter 421: Woe II

On the fourth day of the occupation of Gumu Castle, an envelope representing the most urgent military situation was delivered here.

All the lands in the kingdom that had been occupied by the empire were recovered, and Varane III took the opportunity to expand his army, anyway, the inhabitants thought that they could no longer eat at this time, and it was better to join the army and still have a good meal.

In addition, many residents of Navarran who have lost their homes have also chosen to join the army, in addition to providing food and clothing, but also finding a place to vent their anger.

Varane III gathered an army of 50,000 men, followed him in his golden chariot, and went straight to the city of Gumu......

......

"Are you sure, Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing Varane III's order, an officer looked at their king with bewilderment.

"Huh, don't you hear me?"

Varane III began to be very dissatisfied, and his royal decree began to be questioned, it seems that he really needs more glory, otherwise there will be people who question the strength of his Varane royal family.

"This, this ......" the officer hesitated.

Varane III had just ordered the use of heavy siege weapons to attack Gumu City......

Although the ancient wooden city is not large, there are still soldiers in the army who live here, and the ancient wooden city is full of subjects of the Navarran Kingdom.

"The letter of surrender has been sent out for half a day, and this is the path they have chosen. ”

Varane III didn't care about the inhabitants of the city, he didn't even care about the slaughter of the royal city, he wanted the last glory of life.

All those who stand in his way to glory are enemies!

"Attack!"

Varane III personally gave the order to the besieging forces.

The king's command is absolute.

The besieging troops, though frowning, cut the hooks and locks of the large trebuchets in front of them.

Bang Bang –

The powerful clasp of the trebuchet made a loud noise, and smashed it towards the ancient wood city with a huge flint that was still burning.

"Lords, they're attacking!"

Needless to say, Xiuin also saw it.

Hmph, Varane III really did it......

Xiuin silently sweated for Varane III, this small city should obviously belong to the Navarran Kingdom, but Varane III actually directly used large siege weapons to attack this small city with a measly two meters high parapet wall......

The range of the large trebuchets was very long, and some of the flints they threw smashed into the city walls, causing a very large gap in the already old city walls to appear at this time.

And more flints flew into the city.

Rumble!

Rumble!

When the flint landed, a large sea of fire was ignited.

It's fine if it falls in a place where no one is around, but once you hit the houses in the city, they will be turned beyond recognition in an instant, leaving behind a burning ruin.

"Quick, go put out the fire, you, you go over there, you go there, quick!"

Standing in the middle of the town's streets, Hans was directing the city's inhabitants and a part of the convoy to join in the work of treating the wounded and preventing the flames from spreading.

It didn't take long for the town to be filled with smoke.

"Stop attacking!"

Varane III had enough of the visual pleasure it gave him, and the next step was the main thing.

"Next, let's go into town!"

Varane III sat outside his golden chariot to see for himself the destruction of the lord of Morrowind, Thuin Neumann.

"That kid, if he really lets it go, I'm afraid he might really make some fame. ”

Varane III began to admit that Shuin had some abilities that would make him a star in the southern part of the continent.

"It's a pity, sometimes it's not good to be too confident, if you obediently return to Morrowind at this time, maybe you can live a little longer. ”

Varane III felt that he could guess the intentions of Xiuin.

Although Gumu City is inconspicuous in the southern part of the kingdom, the remoteness of this place has always made the residents here somewhat disobedient to the assignment of the royal capital, and even the tax ministers sent by the royal capital are often coerced and lured by the local landlords to become accomplices of the city's rebellion against the royal city.

Xiu Yin chose to entrench here, there must be the idea that the people here will not reject them too much, and Varane III also knows that from Gumu City to the eastern border, it is a relatively short distance to the southern region of the Great Loran Empire.

"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's just a hairy boy after all, naΓ―ve, hehe!"

Varane III had his men lift him into the carriage of the Golden Chariot, and he was going to sit higher, and the angle from which he looked down made Varane III feel closer to being the first in the southern part of the continent to create history in the Age of the Seven Dawns......

......

"Isn't this Lord Xiuin?!Your Excellency is in danger here, go to a safe place!" In the street, an old woman rushed up to him when she saw Xiuin, and said to him, the old woman's house had been smashed by flint, and she had to find a clean street to complain that Varane III would attack the small city.

Seeing the old woman's enthusiasm, he knew that all this was what the Morning Breeze had done here to make the townspeople feel good.

Tax exemption, help the lonely elderly here, settle jobs for the idle, and at this time, a large number of Morrowind soldiers are braving the fire to save the property of the residents of the small town.

Morrowind and Navarran's two very different ways of doing things immediately made the inhabitants of the area think completely differently about the two sides.

"Lord Xiu Yin won't abandon us, will he?"

"Yes, Lord Xiuin, this battle is too difficult to work, please take us with you!"

"Yes, yes, Lord Xiuin, please don't abandon us!"

......

Xiuin appeared in the street and was immediately surrounded by the inhabitants of the city, who knew that outside the city was the army of Varane III, and that Xiuin's army here was only 10,000 men, and the difference in combat strength between the two sides was too great.

Hans hurriedly asked the guards to isolate Xiuin and the inhabitants here, Hans wanted to consider Xiuin's safety, this is not Morrowind after all, and the inhabitants here may still want to serve the king of Navarland.

"Don't worry, Neumann never gives up on anyone loyal to him!"

Xiu is blessed with amplification magic by his voice, and although he is not very good at speaking, it is still possible to say something that makes these people feel more convinced of him.

"The glory of Morrowind will be with you!"

There is nothing more important in this world than glory, and Xiun trades the glory of Morrowind for the loyalty of these inhabitants.

In the eyes of the inhabitants, Xiuin's words have enough weight, and glory is the most important thing in a family.

But in Xiuin's eyes, he was a costless deal, because there was no glory in his worldview.
