Of course, for Edward, it was a bit of a fuss for Edward to apply a word like a demon to such a small strategy.

In the history of his memory, this simple method has long been used by many rebels and bandits, and as long as everyone who rebels has a blood debt on their hands, it is naturally not good to betray them again, and they can only go to the dark with an iron heart......

However, what he had expected was the woman's control over the city—the rebellion, which was supposed to be settled within two hourglasses, lasted from evening to dawn, and according to the final count of the number of men who had just been counted, there were only a little more than 3,000 of the original 5,000 soldiers in the city, and the rest were all dead at the hands of his own people.

The city lord and nobles of a city, the control of his subordinates is so poor that Cheng dù is really a bit appalling, maybe if it weren't for the peace of the empire for hundreds of years, plus she has a father with good ability, I'm afraid this city would have been in chaos a long time ago?

But no matter what, after a busy night's work, all the voices of resistance in the city have finally disappeared......

"...... Cui Fandi's teleportation circle is very ancient, in fact, it was already semi-abandoned before the teleportation magic mutation, if the city's protective spell is not lifted, it can only teleport about fifty troops to the city within a radius of three hundred miles at one time, but the price is at least ten high-level mages All the five-ring spell slots, even if the number is reduced to less than ten, at least five mages are needed to cast spells at the same time, but now we don't have enough mages, they have lost more than half of them in the last battle, and almost all of the high-level mages have died......”

Sitting on the second floor of the castle, in her own small hall, the Marquis carefully filled Edward's cup with warm and fragrant rose tea, and seemed to be very good at this kind of thing—twisting the thick fingers of the silver kettle, but controlling the dark red tea that was just poured into the cup, and the delicate silver teapot was placed back on the walnut table with gold rim, and there was not even a sound of collision.

After taking a sip of the slightly hot tea, the Psychic Warlock stretched his somewhat tired body in the lord's wide bench: "There is such a magic tower in the city, but there is no money to build a magic array?

"The mages of this city are directly under my father's orders, and in normal times, I can't tell them what to do...... But most of the city's tax revenue was taken by them. As a result, they got such a completely useless thing, and a large number of unknown creations, they swore that with this magic tower, the city would not need any reinforcements at all, and it would be able to hold it even in the face of a siege of 350,000 people, but now, ...... Hum. ”

He snorted twice as if he had a toothache, but it wasn't just a contempt for the mages.

If you talk about greed, I'm afraid that those mages together can't be half as good as this guy in front of you! Now, all kinds of props in that magic tower have been looted by him, and he hasn't even let go of some of the gems on the magic circle...... sounded those things that were originally purchased with the taxes she had paid, and the marquiss was so heartbroken that even the fat on her body trembled vigorously.

But this kind of thing is naturally impossible to say...... So, she just sighed.

Pretending to be pitiful is originally an innate ability that most women are good at, but unfortunately this marquis is obviously not among them, especially after a busy night, the tension and fatigue of killing, so that on her white and fat face, the two dark circles under her eyes are very eye-catching, and no matter how resentful the expression is, it will only make people feel ridiculous, and then regurgitate, and it is impossible to bring half of the benefit to herself.

"What's in there?" the Psychic raised his eyebrows as he took a sip of the drink from his glass—the taste of roses didn't seem to be as sweet as usual, but more importantly, it had a pleasant, familiar taste.

"The roses of Helan in the valley, and ...... The dried leaves of some plants are a spice. It has certain benefits for the stomach and intestines, and it can eliminate the greasy in the meal, and it can also make the sweetness of the roses a little lighter, which is my current tip. Do you like it?"

The overly plump Marquise smiled at Edward like a dog eager to show her loyalty—betrayed the Empire, betrayed her family, severed from everything, and now her only hope was pinned on the man in front of her.

"It's a good thing, but unfortunately, you did it the wrong way...... Otherwise, a year's worth of money from selling this thing alone will be enough to buy your city. ”

The Psychic frowned as he looked at the dry leaves that the woman had taken out...... The leaves are small, and their ovoid appearance and jagged edges are somewhat similar to those in memory. I don't know if it's a real tea tree leaf, but at least in terms of taste, it's still seven or eight points similar. It's a pity that this thing is obviously made by boiling the method, and most of the aroma is lost, and the taste is a little strange.

The Marquis's eyes widened unsurprisingly at this explanation.

Buy a city? With these leaves? Is this some kind of strange magic material? Will a mage pay a lot of money to buy it?

Unfortunately, whether it was true or a casual lie, it was not her concern now - the most important thing at the moment was the shelter of this traitor of hers.

If Tumenes could not defeat the Imperial army, her city would become an island hanging over the Empire, and as soon as the Imperial army arrived, the troops and subjects that were maintained by fear alone were almost more vulnerable than straw, let alone besieged by a large army, and I am afraid that as long as a force of a certain size shouted under the city, the civilians would have to organize themselves to take the gates.

So after hesitating for a moment, she cautiously opened her mouth to probe: "Your Excellency, ...... the support of the kingdom?"

"Nope. ”

Edward simply interrupted her thoughts. Let the fat man shake habitually again.

Even without careful discernment, Edward could feel the woman's thoughts, tangled and then cursed fiercely. But when the Psychic Warlock lifted his eyelids, the cluttered thoughts in the other person's mind were gone. All that was left was fear, and desperately turning around to ask for help.

"Although all the warriors have now sworn allegiance to me, most of their families are in the city, so there is no need to worry about their loyalty...... But now there are less than four thousand warriors left in the city, if the family ...... The counterinsurgency forces of the Urdu family have arrived, and we may find it difficult to support them. ”

There was silence for a while, and now the whole mind of the man before him was resting on the tea, and there seemed to be no interest in proposing a solution, and the lady reluctantly spoke again, trying to piece together words in the hope of getting a little more hope from him.

"Okay, your old man, do you think it's possible for him to give up on the front line and run back?" Edward smiled indifferently, breaking through her little calculation: "At least, if I were him, I wouldn't do that, it would be tantamount to suing someone else...... I'm back in a hurry, I'm not well equipped for a long run, and I can't necessarily take the city, so take advantage of this opportunity to kill me. ”

The woman grinned.

She doesn't have much experience in military affairs, but at least she's not a fool, and she can figure out how to think clearly about the gains and losses of a small city like herself, as well as the thousands of second-line cavalry, for her father, really not so important that she needs to put down the decisive battle against the enemy and return to rescue or quell the rebellion.

But if he doesn't come back, won't there be anyone else to do this? Although he is now strictly controlling public opinion and strictly anyone talking about the so-called surrender, it is obviously impossible to suppress this kind of thing, and within three days, the relevant information will be transmitted to her father's ears by the Falcon.

"You once said that the three great cities of the Urdu family. The Psychic Warlock said, "Tell me, how many garrisons are there in those three cities?"

"Each of these three cities has a city guard, roughly maintained at the number of four thousand teams, a garrison knighthood, the number is about two thousand, but the number of horses is four times the number of horses, the city guard has been trained in equestrianism, and can be converted into light cavalry with just one order, and two five hundred, to eight hundred Jin Jinhua knights, although Urdu claims to have only a thousand, but I estimate that he has definitely hidden several times the number of heavy cavalry. And this time, he will bring some of it, but the city defense will not be too empty, and the training of the peasant soldiers of the Urdu family is far longer than that of ordinary nobles, so when necessary, he can recruit multiple peasant soldiers, although these peasant soldiers have uneven abilities, but the equipment that can be provided to them is good, at least the short bow and arrows are enough, and there is also a certain threat to the knights in street fighting......"

The countess knew everything about Edward's inquiry, but unfortunately she had the lowest status among the duke's children, and she could only know the secrets of the three cities.

Judging from these superficial numbers alone, the two cities were well defended, and although they were not invulnerable, it was probably impossible to capture one of them without more than 6,000 troops—if Edward were to go all out, with a fire, or a few clouds of death, it would not be a big problem for the city defenders to be solved, but it was already a large city in the empire.6 If you want to occupy it, you still have to take into account the problem of civilian backlash. It was not necessary to learn the demon wolf's method of burning the city and burn it clean, but counting the nearly 100,000 lives, Edward still had no chance of choosing such a plan in the end.

It's not because of some frieze of justice and mercy, it's just that I don't want to be the target of public criticism.

It seems unlikely that other things would have been able to achieve the goal.

Kashka and Caledon, two cities, were governed by the duke's younger brother and one of his sons, both of whom were not rookies, and had the energy to fight against the orcs in the northwest of the empire, and the time to govern these two cities was six years, one fifteen years, and there were many staff officers, reasonable taxes, and strong city defenses, and it was difficult to have any problems.

"So, what about the main city of Wharton Krama?" he asked, "this time he went out on his own expedition, and the emptiness in the main city was inevitable?"

"You...... Are you serious?" the dames's eyes widened in disbelief.

Wharton Klama...... It is one of the few large cities in the empire with a population of more than 150,000! Even if there are only civilians, can you still fight his idea? The Urdu family has been operating there for five generations, not to mention the permanent troops, even if it is the direct descendants of the Urdu family plus the private army, there are more than your miscellaneous armies!

The fat on the lady's face trembled again, as if the courage in her heart had been almost exhausted, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The woman's instinct told her that the person in front of her had no interest in herself or the city...... His aim seems to be to occupy, but he loses interest in the place he occupies - what he needs is only the process of occupying.

Or rather, the process of killing?

And the question just now obviously proves that what this terrible guy wants is to ascend to the sky in one step and directly occupy the core hinterland of the Urdu family with the help of the power of the enhanced teleportation circle!

If someone else had come up with such a plan, then Siphus would only wonder if his brain had been pierced...... Do you want to fight those two giant cities with a population of 100,000 people, and treat the knights and mages in the city as idiots? But after seeing the army, strength, and way of doing things of the person in front of her, Siphus has a vague feeling in her heart, this young mage, maybe he really has a way to accomplish this,

His strength is terrifyingly strong......

The marquis's narrowed eyes seemed to reveal a few more blue-gray faces—belonging to a few fellows who had been mages.

Just a few hourglass hours ago, the three remaining high-level mages of the mage group fiercely opposed Toucheng and wanted to kill her, but the person in front of him shook the situation just by appearing there-the three invincible spellcasters had already fallen straight down like wood when they met his gaze, and they had just died! And when they were examined afterwards, there was not even a single scar on the corpse's body......

A mage who can silently deprive others of their lives? Isn't that the so-called demon king in those epic stories?

"That won't work, Your Excellency...... In addition to the heavy cavalry, there is also a division of the Urdu family, and it is too unrealistic to want to bet soldiers to occupy it. ”

"Division, how come I don't remember which of the Empire's three divisions wasn't in Illyria?

"The three divisions are actually just the three most famous divisions in the empire, but there are actually not a few of the various dukedoms that have divisions. ”

The Baroness explained, "Although it may not be as good as Tumenis, in fact, the number of divisions in the Empire is not small...... Because the evaluation criteria for the division are usually for the mastery of the eight-ring arcane, but generally speaking, the mages are more cautious figures, and they don't value false names, and many people in history will only claim the identity of their division after they have actually mastered the nine-ring spell, and even some mages are not interested in announcing it to the public at all, and they are just inferred and speculated by bystanders. Of course, the Third Division of the Empire does have a strength far above them."

Wait a minute.

The temple of Lansendel in the city was very small, with only four or five priests, five or six warrior believers who were not even holy warriors in charge of guarding and doing chores, and they had no room for resistance to Edward's subordinates who were intent on assassination, rs!.
