Chapter 1352: Night Attack
Early in the morning, Lin noticed that there was an unusual atmosphere in the air, like the excitement of a big war......
No, it's not 'like', it's 'simply is'! Because someone could tell the unusual source of that smell of blood.
The room where I live alone is still in good condition, but what about the other places? Lin Shen calmed down, extended the scope of his magic detection, and immediately found that the elves were not staying in their respective rooms, but gathered in an open living room. Lin immediately flashed and went.
The living room, which could be used for small meetings, is now staggered with tables and chairs. and are consciously gathered together and stacked into a simple barricade bunker.
Except for the blood spilled everywhere, no enemies were seen. The elves hid behind bunkers and bandaged each other's wounds.
Lin's sudden appearance did not alarm the elves, because they were sure to judge friend and foe at the first time. And this human magician, they are already familiar with it, so naturally they will not be surprised.
However, Lin Ke couldn't be as calm as the elves. He saw that a group of wounded soldiers was not tight, and more importantly, although the number of elves remained sixteen, there were many people in it. Lin asked worriedly, "Someone was injured and sent back?" Is it serious? ”
A dress covered with bloodstains, Miriam stepped forward and said, "Sir, it is true that some people were sent away first, but they are not worried about their lives. Please rest assured. ”
"Well, what's going on? That group of nobles called? Can you confirm who it is? Lin asked.
"I'm sorry, sir. The people who came were supposed to be just a bunch of outlaws, with no recognizable coats of arms on them. Miriam replied.
"Didn't ask...... Oh, forget it. "Someone gives up asking because he has already discovered what happened to the intruder. At the main entrance of the State Guest House, there were a large number of broken limbs, which were stabbed together by spears, spears, swords and other objects, and were densely erected. Judging from the equipment, there is no unified standard armament, and it looks like a group of miscellaneous armies.
This also explains why there was a fierce battle in this meeting room, but in the chaos, there was no trace of the enemy. Dare to say that this group of elves has already cleaned the battlefield and sent out all the unsightly criminals to show the public.
After a little look, the elves who came with me changed seven or eight people. But this does not mean that the injuries are so serious that they must be evacuated, there are only seven or eight, and there may be unlucky people who are seriously injured and evacuated as soon as they come to support. So while Lin assisted in the treatment, he also asked about the details. He muttered and complained, "Everyone has come in, why don't you retreat first." Hurt in vain. ”
Miriam would like to explain. However, she sensed that the magician had moved his mind elsewhere, and she simply kept silent. The other elves had the same attitude.
The haughty elves are reluctant to talk to humans unless they have to. When this human being can be on an equal footing with the World Tree Majestic, maybe the elves are not proud, but they don't know how to talk to such a 'person'. So all along, although Lin was respected among the elven clan, there was still a sense of alienation.
Of course, Lin didn't care about this kind of thing, and he didn't think about changing the attitude of the elves. Anyway, the friendship between gentlemen is like water, and the elves ask for their own help, and they help themselves; I ask them for help when I need it, and they are willing to help, and that's enough. Someone's whole mind right now is figuring out which side they can use this attack to put pressure on.
The empress is definitely not good on her side, there is no reason to trouble her own people. But the enemy who came to attack has no proof of identity, and it is not easy to find a random wrongdoer.
Besides, it is not yet known who the number one enemy is. When I asked the empress last night, she said very loudly that all the nobles with titles could regard them as enemies, and they didn't have to worry about hurting their own people. Someone is also speechless about such a situation.
So, do you want to pick a random unlucky ghost to shake the pot? Someone thought very seriously. But before Lin could figure out which hateful-looking guy could get in his way, there was a burst of unrest outside the State Guest House in the early morning.
This time, there were nobles who set up their chariots and horses, led the army, and about a large number of troops surrounded the guest house. Although it is not enough to put on a posture of holding a flag to cover the air, a small guest house is covered like this, and it is also impassable.
Maybe the elves don't have the means to detect magic like someone else, but they have their own methods of warning. The movements of the group of soldiers outside were not ignored by the elves, and a few who were not injured and were fine at hand once again raised the mass-produced enhanced version of the Elven King's Bow sent by the World Tree, and came to the window to look at the scene outside the guest house.
Miriam, the only bare-handed man, took a step behind the others and didn't come to the window, just stood behind someone who also came to the window. She asked, "Sir, shall we retreat now?" There was an indiscernible smell in his tone. It's like throwing back to someone a complaint they just didn't have time to explain.
"Well, well, I was wrong just now. Now in this situation, I really can't retreat, I can only fight with the person opposite. If they retreat and let them have bad ideas, then the early laying will be in vain. How much effort will it take to get back to the current situation. What a hassle. Lin judged helplessly.
Previously, the bank of the gold coin goddess was somewhere else, and if it was attacked by the local lord, it would definitely leave directly. Then drag the other party's bank to carry out the time, see when the other party has remorse, and you are in a good mood. But the situation in the Karlsruhe Empire, the Imperial City of Neuquén, was different.
The position Lin chose was to stand on the same side as the empress and go against the nobles. If you turn around and leave because of the attack of some small people, the most proud of you are not those old stubborns who stand on a conservative position.
The empress will also disrupt the original cooperation layout because of her departure. In this way, it is light to offend this majesty; It is not impossible to lose all the preparations overnight, even with the empress in it. Simply the best example of a pig teammate.
As for the kind of retreat by yourself, wait for the other party to find nothing, and leave on your own, and then turn back to take over the guest house again. In fact, although this practice protects human life, it gives the other party the opportunity to contact the empty state guest house, and there is also the possibility of doing it.
It's like a big fabrication, a series of lies, and all kinds of strange things are all in one go. And because his own people are not present, he can only let others play freely, and only find a chance to remedy it afterwards.
To know the bank of the goddess of gold coins, what is most needed is people's confidence. This kind of opportunity to recruit blacks for yourself, and not to leak any of them to others is the most correct way.
It means that in the battle in front of him, he can only be reckless.
Sigh helplessly. Lin waved his hand and said, "You guys stay and prepare." The healing of the wounds, the collection of weapons of the collection of weapons. I'll take care of the things outside. ”
If someone takes the initiative, the other elves will not complain about the inconsistent attitude of a certain magician. Just because they're not injured or not seriously doesn't mean they won't get tired. A night of fierce fighting, all kinds of calculations, but it is very mentally and physically exhausting.
Without thinking much about it, Lin casually set up a giant light and shadow magic array and swirled in the sky above the guest house. Then he flashed to the main entrance of the building, opened the door, and walked out on two legs.
The giant magic array that rotated in the air did cause a commotion among the nobles' private army for a while. But they quickly calmed down. Because the magic array in the sky was just spinning very slowly, and it didn't play any role. If no one was staring, they wouldn't even be able to notice how it was turning.
The relieved leading nobleman only thought that the other party was scared and wanted to negotiate a good condition so that they could leave in peace. After all, the population of the elves is over there, and they can't afford to keep dying. Therefore, summing is the only chance for the elves.
As for the magician who came out, that confident appearance made the nobles who looked at him secretly sneer in their hearts. The only fate of this magician is death, which is an ending that many people can accept and look forward to.
However, the magician had not yet realized that his fate had been arranged, so he could still smile proudly. This made the leading nobleman want to see even more, when he knew his final fate, what kind of face would he become?
It's a pity that things are not what most people imagined. Lin walked past the special installation art that had been put on display, and came to the forefront, confronting the nobles and their private army. Instead of begging for mercy, he asked, "My lord, why have you come?" ”
The nobleman used the horsewhip in his hand to point to the mess behind Lin. He said: "Stirring up trouble in the Imperial City of Neuquén, and even murdering people, do you really think that the Karlsruhe Empire is a place where Your Excellency can come and go freely and without restraints?" ”
Lin glanced at the tragic situation behind him and said, "As a guest invited by the empire, staying in the place designated by the empire, under such circumstances, there are still lawbreakers attacking and harassing. I can say that the prestige of the Empire is lost in the eyes of this arrogant people. Since the empire has no prestige at all, what is wrong with us fighting back to protect our lives? ”
"Sophistry!" This nobleman, who was particularly loud, shouted and scolded: "It's not that you are acting to provoke the people's resentment, so there are people with lofty ideals who attack you and others in the name of eliminating harm." And that thou hast committed such a deplorable act as a sinner, and that thou hast committed such a deplorable crime. As a lord loyal to the Empire, it is my duty to put an end to all injustice. I will slay you under your horse today, and you will be known for the righteousness and prestige of my empire. ”
As he spoke, the nobleman waved his hand and gave the order: "March!" Enter! Capture the magician and the elves in the guest house. If there is resistance, it will be killed. ”
Are there three sentences here? Seeing that the negotiation could not be completed, Lin shook his hand and a fire meteor smashed into the magic array in the sky. Suddenly, a dark fog was released, like a bowl upside down, enveloping the entire State Guest House building, as well as the surrounding streets and open spaces.
Lin said: "The trespasser will die, and if you don't enter, you won't kill." If more than half of the people died, none of you would want to go back. No wonder I didn't warn you. With that, he stepped back and disappeared into the fog.
This strange move made the advancing army stop. At this time, in order to boost morale, the nobles shouted: "Don't be afraid, this is just a trick." Advance! Advance! Whether captured alive or beheaded, there is a reward! ”
The army is marching again!
