Chapter 179: Phoenix Rebellion (Part II)

At a time when the Phoenix nobles were noisy. Qin of Guderian City was overwhelmed by his army and entered the territory of Phoenix. This has never happened in Qin Yin's history.

In addition to being in charge of the royal territory and the army of Shengyan City, the Qin Yin royal family also commanded the army of the border town. In other words, the army of Guderian City was directly under the command of the Qin Yin royal family. This army invaded Phoenix, and the empire was in an uproar. Some of the local nobles even began to question the legitimacy of the Holy Rock City.

Everyone knows that the current emperor has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and until he was a minor, he has been living in the magic tower, relying on the magic of the royal magician to continue his life. The emperor's body bones are not to mention practicing martial arts, and even after studying for a long time, he will faint. Such an emperor is obviously unable to convince the public.

At this time, the local nobles believed that the Holy Rock City was actually controlled by Prince Sephiroth, who did not dare to be emperor himself, but wanted to plot the territory of the Grand Duke of Phoenix.

The nobles of Phoenix resisted even more fiercely, because if the Duchy of Phoenix was abolished, they would have nothing. Sephiroth will definitely give the land of Phoenix to his descendants, cronies.

Although hundreds of years of peace have slackened Phoenix's armament, Phoenix is a part of Qin Yin after all, and the martial spirit still remains. The nobility of all places united. Temporarily halted the offensive in the city of Guderian.

The Qin Yin army in Guderian City dispatched a total of four swordsman battalions and a mage regiment. Divided into two parts, one army went north, invaded two hundred miles, and captured the city of Grant, and the other went west, captured the famous Castle of the Sun, cutting off the connection between Phoenix and Garulan.

Although Phoenix is a principality in the north, it depends on food for its survival, and the land here is fertile. The defect of the entire duchy was the lack of metal deposits, most of the weapons had to be purchased from outside, and the army of Guderian City cut off Phoenix's road to the outside world, and the nobles of Phoenix panicked.

It is winter, and the army is moving with difficulty, so it can maintain the situation for the time being, but by the spring, the imperial army will definitely launch a large-scale offensive. The road to the outside world has been cut off, and the supply of weapons is not available, so the emperor ** team does not need to be in a hurry, and can slowly erode the land inch by inch.

What frightened the Phoenix nobles the most was that they heard that Holy Rock City had created a war puppet and would send it to the north next spring to attack the cities of the principality.

When Pijak heard about this, he did not dare to continue to stay in the town of Shenlin, so he immediately took his possessions and fled all the way to the northeast according to the map given by Saleen. He kept an eye on it. Just go straight to Salin and throw away his town, and Salin may be angry and kill him. On the way to escape, he went to meet two friends, namely Suha and Peter.

The two viscounts had already received definite news that the war puppets of Holy Rock City had arrived in Guderian City without waiting for the beginning of spring. If they don't leave, with the more than 1,000 troops of the two of them, they will be directly wiped out by Qin Yin's army.

Salen listened to Piac's narration and analyzed the above things, and sighed in his heart. These nobles were too bold, and before the war puppets of Holy Rock City arrived, they abandoned their territory and fled. Is it better for such a person to be thrown out? It is useless to stay around.

Salin did not hide his disappointed expression, and the two viscounts looked at it in their eyes, their hearts beat wildly, and they felt extremely depressed.

"Master Mage. Suha mustered his courage and shouted.

"What?"

"It's not that we don't want to resist, but there are no mages in our territory. When the war puppet arrives, it can't be resisted at all!"

"Without a mage, you can't resist a war puppet?" said Salin, in a bad tone.

Zola said behind Sarah, "My lord, it is true. Unless with the help of a Grand Mage, the War Golem can easily tear through the fortress's defenses. ”

Saleen thought for a moment and felt that there was some truth to this. Since the death of Chanak the Great, Sephiroth has been busy making war puppets, and it's been two years, right? With the strength of the country, it takes two years to create war puppets, and the power of this thing is certainly not small. But isn't Holy Rock planning to use war puppets against the Holy See?

Holy Rock City, what the hell is going on?The Emperor ** team attacked the territory of the local nobles, this is a move to shake the foundation of the empire, Sephiroth can't be so stupid, right?

Seeing that Salin was still silent, Suha was a little panicked, he wiped his sweat, and said grovelly: "Master Mage, we are willing to be loyal to the King of Rex, and specially brought the elite soldiers of the family, as well as the land contract. ”

"Oh? That's good. Salin smiled. The two guys have invested a lot of money. With the land deed, if Rex has the strength to fight for Phoenix in the future, he will have a de jure advantage. However, it is impossible for the Kushui Monarch to fight with Shengyan City now, after all, the situation on the Garulan side is getting worse and worse.

However, Guderian's army cut off Phoenix's access to the outside world, so he had little hope of entering Skocchia by land. If you go from the sea, the sea in the north has a period of ice for nearly half a year, and even warships can pass for no more than eight months, and the journey is extremely dangerous. In this way, his city can only go to Lianyun City through the port.

This is not a good thing for a newly established city. But against Holy Rock City. I don't have that power. Saleen clearly remembered how powerful the army of Holy Rock City was. His only reliance was on the Three Undead Kings, but the power of the Three Kings was severely suppressed, and Holy Rock City only needed to send a ninth-level mage to make the Three Kings flee for their lives.

Salin didn't know if there was a powerful mage like Joey in Holy Rock City, and thinking of this, Salin found that his promise to return to Holy Rock City to see Joey had not yet been implemented.

Salin didn't want to repay the debt, if he upset Joey, this strong man who surpassed the ninth level, even Shreig Island couldn't resist it.

Seeing that Salin didn't speak again, the two viscounts rubbed their hands together anxiously. Salin raised his eyelids and glanced at the two people, these two middle-aged nobles were a little blessed, but they were not as fat as Baron Piac, and the calluses on their hands had not faded, so they should continue to practice martial arts.

Maybe these two guys weren't so cowardly, but they just didn't have the help of a mage, so they had to run away.

"What if ......," Salin lengthened, and Suha and Peter immediately listened to him, and Salin said, "If you are loyal to the king, what do you want?"

"My lord, we want to keep our sons here, please keep them safe. It doesn't matter if the county king can help us recover the territory. The swordsmen of both of our families will always be loyal to the king. ”

Salin listened to the plea of the two, and his heart softened. If it was anything else, he wouldn't have taken it to heart, but...... This is the prayer of the two fathers. If his father were still alive, he would definitely do anything to protect himself.

And the two guys knew each other very well, and they didn't ask Saleen to send troops, but just said that they would wait for the future. In the future, if Rex has the ambition to dominate the world, they may be able to reclaim the territory. If there is no such day, the two guys only hope that their son can live well.

"Okay, I'll call the shots. But your soldiers, leave them to me. Let the sons of the two of you come to me tomorrow. I'll take a look and find them a teacher. As long as they don't leave the city, I guarantee their safety. ”

"Thank you, Master. Suha and Peter saluted at the same time. The two of them are now down-and-out nobles, and all they have is humility in front of a fifth-level magician. Salin wanted to take away their military power, and they had to surrender it obediently. Before they came, the two of them had thought that if Saleen's strength was not enough, then they would be robbers and occupy this new city.

However, Daniel, who greeted the two of them, gave too much shock to the two nobles, the necromancer, the undead army. It was obviously unwise to confront a mage with such power, and the two men believed Pijak's words and chose to obey.

"As for your money, keep it. If you want to live in the city, you also need to buy land. Seeing that the two nobles were nervous, Salin finally gave them a smile: "Don't worry, you came early, I will give you a cheap price." ”

"Zola, you will be in charge of the soldiers of the two viscounts in the future, arrange a place for them to live, and tomorrow you will receive the soldiers. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Pijac, you stay. Saleen nodded the fat man, and Pijak stayed in the barracks with a twist, and when Zola took the two viscounts, Saleen said, "You took their money, right?"

Pijac was dumbfounded, his face pale.

"Are you still saying that if you open your mouth, I can take them in?"

Pijak popped and fell to his knees. If Phoenix didn't mess up, he could naturally come here generously and wait for Saleen to fulfill his promise. But now that Phoenix is in a mess, his usefulness is gone. He definitely can't hold the town of Shenlin, and now Salin can't get it, so he can only wait for the soldiers of Guderian City to receive it.

"Your Excellency, spare your life. Pijak burst into tears, definitely not pretended.

"Spare your life, why send scouts when you let them come and defect. Are you planning a sneak attack?"

"My lord, it's none of my business, I only have ten soldiers, and each of them has hundreds. Pijak lay on the ground, took two steps forward, grabbed Saleen's thigh, and almost kissed Saleen's foot.

Salin kicked him away and said, "There's no one here, and if Zola is here, if you try to get close to me, he'll cut off your hands and feet and hand you over to the necromancer." ”

Seeing that Pijak was speechless, Salin said, "If you eat both of them, spit them out and give them to me." This time I spare you. ”

"Thank you, sir. Pijac finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, I'm not done yet. Salin looked at Pijak coldly, and Pijac's head lowered again.

"I'll go back and give you a hundred soldiers, and when the county king returns, I canonize you with a new title, and you will take these hundred soldiers back to Shenlin Town, which is already the territory of the county. If the people of Holy Rock want it, you tell them all about it. ”

"Huh?" Pijak was dumbfounded when he heard Salen's arrangement.
