Chapter 398: The Inevitable Decline of the Evans Family

After Rebecca integrated all the troops, Wang Xu and several of their decision-makers took the lead, surrounded by eleven mercenaries, followed by the nobles of the Baker family, and then three thousand elven heavy armored cavalry in shining armor. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

While heading towards the dry gate at the northeast corner of Iris City, Wang Xu looked at the layout of the defenses of Iris City, and while looking, Wang Xu shook his head helplessly.

From the loose layout of the city defense to the city wall whose building structure is easy to be breached, without much analysis, Wang Xu clearly realized that the city lord of Iris City is a mediocre talent, not to mention expanding the territory, even if he keeps his homeland, the city lord is estimated to be unable to do it, and the fact that Iris City has not been breached until today can only be explained by the fact that the Evans family has always been lucky.

This also makes sense of one thing, that is, why the title of the Evans family has been reduced again and again, from the original Grand Duke, to the current lowest-level title, Baron, judging from Franken's ability, in the future, it is estimated that he will not even be able to keep the title of Baron.

At this moment, Wang Xu was very emotional in his heart, what the ancestor said was very right, the sheep brought out by the lions were no less powerful than the lions, and the lions brought out by the goats were at the level of the sheep.

Although Wang Xu didn't look down on the Evans family at all, he didn't say it explicitly, after all, this was Nilou's family, and if he spoke up to belittle the Evans family, he might hurt Nilou.

Just when Wang Xu felt in his heart that the Evans family had no talents, the team marched outside the dry gate in the northeast corner of the city of Iris.

Suddenly, Wang Xu found that a white marble stone statue was pulled down at the gate of the city, and this stone statue looked like it had just been pulled down, and it seemed to have been made by the centaurs who had eaten enough to eat and had nothing to do, and had returned to heaven at this time.

The snow-white stone statue was broken into five or six knots, and the mountain-like head of the stone statue rolled aside, and from the size of the head, Wang Xu judged that this stone statue was really huge enough, and it seemed that it was estimated to be more than a hundred meters high, two or three times higher than the wall of Iris City.

Wang Xu, who was scolding the city lord Franconian in his heart, had time to repair the stone statue and not have time to strengthen the city defense, and suddenly found that the stone statue's unbroken and relatively complete head looked quite familiar, and in an instant, Wang Xu recognized it from the amazing beauty of the stone statue's head, which was Nilou's appearance.

Secretly glancing at Nilou, who was watching the surrounding natural scenery, Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: Fortunately, Nilou did not find that her own stone statue was knocked down, otherwise, no one knows what she would do when she was angry, it is estimated that in order to vent her anger, she will completely refine the charred centaur corpses into flower fertilizer, so that their bones will be gone.

Just when Wang Xu was a little worried, the head of the stone statue was recognized by Nilou, and she was about to start tossing again, and then wasting time, Zana suddenly gently twisted Wang Xu's waist and eyes.

Wang Xu turned his head to see that Zana raised her eyebrows at herself, blinked her left eyebrow, and then pouted in the direction of the stone statue's head, and it was obvious that Zana also recognized it as Nilou's stone statue.

Wang Xu gave Zana a wink, suggesting that she hurry up and distract Nilou from discovering the identity of the stone statue.

After receiving Wang Xu's hint, Zana nodded slightly to Wang Xu, indicating that she was clear, so she took the initiative to get close to Nilou and began to talk to Nilou about magic cultivation.

In the blind spot of Nilou's vision, Wang Xu secretly stretched out his thumb to Zhana and praised her, and then, Wang Xu turned his head to look at Baker and Rebecca, and ordered: "Rebecca, you order the soldiers to camp outside the city, don't enter the city, I'll take them in, we'll come out within an hour, we don't have time to delay, here, soon there will be 300,000 enemies around, we can't hold this small city, and we can't hold it when the whole army is annihilated, so we can't waste any more time." ”

"I know, leave it to me......" Rebecca nodded in response, tugged at the reins, turned the unicorn's head, and prepared to carry out Wang Xu's orders.

"Tell the warriors that in order to compensate for the regret that the warriors were unable to enter the city, I will give each of them ten gold coins!" Wang Xu commanded Rebecca's back.

"Good ......" replied, and Rebecca rode the unicorn into the midst of the knights dressed in steel rune armor that reflected the harsh midday sun.

"Captain Ince," Wang Xu called to Ince, the deputy head of the mercenary group, and after he rode to his side, Wang Xu ordered: "You and your mercenaries will stay outside the city, I will give you one thing to do, I have some money here, you send it to your mercenaries and all the soldiers, ten gold coins each, and in the end, it is estimated that there will be more than a hundred gold coins left, which will be yours." ”

"Okay, I understand, Your Highness!" After nodding slightly, Ince received a black iron space ring from Wang Xu that contained more than 30,000 gold coins.

"Yaheng people, General Berg, your father and son accompany me into the city, okay, let's go in!" After Baker and his son responded, Wang Xu led the four daughters of Nilou and Baker and his son, and rode into the city gate.

As soon as he came out of the city gate, Wang Xu saw that an elven youth dressed in the silver aristocratic robe of the standard elf clan, and an elven girl dressed in ordinary warrior costumes, each sitting on a snow-white war horse, stood side by side at the door, welcoming his group.

Just when the city lord Franconian was about to open his mouth with a sneer, Wang Xu raised his hand to stop him, and ordered: "Lord Franconia, you don't have to be polite to me, we are a family, hurry up and lead us to the secret meeting hall, we have something important to say, 100,000 urgent." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Rio, please ......" Although it was the first time I saw Wang Xu and the first time I heard Wang Xu speak, when Franconian heard Wang Xu's "family", he was still quite moved, and unconsciously, his favorability towards Wang Xu immediately rose dozens of steps.

Yuri, who followed Franconia, suddenly found that the sixth prince, Rio Wharton, who had recently become famous, was really not an ordinary person, and as soon as he came up, he bought his brother with just one sentence.

In fact, the truth is just the opposite of Yuri's analysis, Wang Xu did not intend to buy Franconia, but really regarded Franconian as a family, after all, Nilou is in the Evans family, and belongs to the existence like an ancestor, which can be seen by seeing the white marble statue outside the city gate, and Nilou is his own woman, so, to put it mildly, now as a Nilou man, in the Evans family, the status is the ancestor, so now the patriarch of the Avans family and himself are definitely a family.

While following Franconian towards the secret meeting hall he prepared, Wang Xu introduced Baker and his sons to Francon, as for his own women, Wang Xu did not introduce them to Franconian, at this point, Franken's head was still bright, and he did not ask Wang Xu about the identities of the women around him.

At the same time, Franconia also introduced his sister to Wang Xu, who only politely said hello and ignored Yuri.

After walking for five minutes, Wang Xu and the others came from the bluestone road to the bridge deck that extends in all directions, and through this short observation of about five minutes, Wang Xu found that although there are some stone houses in the city of Iris, most of those stone houses are commercial buildings, such as taverns and weapon shops.

As for the houses where the residents of the city live, most of them are wooden treehouses built on top of tall metasequoia trees, and most of the metasequoia trees that carry the treehouses have their roots soaked in water, which looks like this is the kind of standard elven city.

The only difference is that there are metal pipes of different colors erected on many water surfaces in the city, and the sound of the water flow can be clearly heard from the pipes.

Obviously, these pipes are used for pumping water, so it can be seen that the city of Iris is a dangerous city that can easily be flooded by heavy water, and without pumping, it will not be able to live here.

Just as Wang Xu was talking to Franconian to understand his basic abilities and observing the scenery of this dangerous city that would become an underwater city without pumping, Nilou suddenly asked Franconia, "Is Paul Evans still alive?"

"Hmm......" Franconia, who was stunned by Nilou's sudden question, turned his head to look at Nilou, looking at her expectant and worried eyes, Franconia asked sincerely, "Do you know my grandfather......" (To be continued.) )
