0161 Self-protection or rescue
After hastily cleaning up the battlefield, Jialan finally used the communication mirror to contact the Dragon's Lair Adventure Hall, only to learn that it was not just Doom Castle that was in crisis last night!
The street gangs, thieves' guilds, smuggling alliances and other forces lurking in the city of Corran, coupled with a large number of private armed forces lurking in the city, suddenly broke out and launched a rebellion last night when the city's combat power was empty, and attacked the headquarters of the major guilds, the civil council, and the city guard headquarters in one fell swoop.
(Lao Shao's note: Street gangs, thieves' guilds, smuggling alliances, and private armed forces are all illegal underground forces.) However, because of the special form of city-state politics and the relationship between interests, the existence of these underground forces is tacitly acquiesced, but their public activities are not allowed. )
And outside the city, it was also attacked by a large number of war goblin legions, and the city defense troops stationed in Koran City were caught off guard, with extremely heavy casualties, and the city was in chaos because of various vicious attacks!
The only place in the city that has not been harassed is probably the only area of the Kemo University that is regarded as the tiger's den in Longtan, and the Dragon's Lair Adventure Hall outside the city, because of the convening of the Kemo Adventure Competition, has gathered a large number of mercenary group members and the team of magicians who participated in the adventure, so no one feels to brush the tiger's whiskers.
The War Goblin Legion adopted a strategy of "one encirclement and one dozen" against the Dragon's Lair Adventure Hall and Koran City, while sending a large number of goblin legions to surround the Dragon's Lair Adventure Hall, restricting the mercenaries in the Dragon's Lair Adventure Hall from returning to Koran City, and attacking Koran City with all their might.
As for the city of Koran, because the city gate was opened by Neiying, which was lurking in the city, it is currently in a state of fall.
It's shocking. This time it was not only the Corran City area that was attacked, but also the garrison of the Sea Wall Pass at the border checkpoint was also attacked by a large number of lizardmen. So much so that it was impossible to divide the troops back to the territory.
And in the territory of Koranbang, in addition to the war goblin legion with hundreds of thousands of troops, a large number of barbarian and orc bandit groups have emerged from there, and with the war goblins swept the entire territory of Kolanbang!
When the news came, Commander Kenmet hurriedly formed a team, planning to bring nearly a thousand mercenaries with his combat strength intact to rush to the aid of Koran City. was stopped by Jialan.
"Your Excellency Jialan, Fort of Doom should no longer be attacked by war goblins, why ......"
Head Kenmet was a little anxious and puzzled. He thought that Jialan stopped him from rushing to the aid of Koran City because he was worried about the safety of Doom Fort, but with those golden skeletons there, where did he need their more than 1,000 mercenaries to guard Doom Fort.
That's thousands of gold-level combat power!
Their Golden Two-Headed Dragon Mercenary Regiment is in Koran City, and it can be regarded as a large mercenary group. But he has reached the gold level. Including himself, it is only a palm, and in such a large-scale war, the role that high-level combat power can play is extremely weak.
Moreover, in last night's invasion, the War Goblin Legion has more than 500 silver-level combat power, more than 50 gold-level combat power, plus 100,000 War Goblins, and it is not the same as the attack of the "Holy Land Guard".
"No, I'm not trying to stop you from coming back to Coran City. But even if you lead more than a thousand tired mercenaries now, it won't be of much use to rush back to Coran City. Instead, it will sacrifice everyone's lives in vain!"
Jialan frowned and analyzed: "According to the analysis of the intelligence collected by the scouts sent by the Mercenary Guild, the 'Razor Crown War Goblin Legion' of the 'Gardar Emirate' of Dagon County has mobilized about 500,000 goblins, 100,000 lizards, 200,000 orcs and 200,000 barbarians this time!"
"With such a huge number of troops, it is almost the scale of launching a national-level war, but in advance, whether it is the city defense army of Coran City, or the joint garrison of Sea Wall Pass, or even the mercenary guild, adventure guild and other institutions, they have not noticed any clues!"
Jialan looked at the head of Kenmet: "What does this mean? It means that this aggressive attack, in addition to the long-term planning of those goblins who intend to 'restore the country', also shows that there are people acting as internal ...... for them in Corland City, Coran State, and even the entire Gilargo County."
As for who this "Neiying" is, Jialan didn't say it explicitly, and there is no need to say it explicitly, people all over the continent know it.
"Moreover, after last night's delay, the goblins' goal has been achieved, they have partially occupied the city of Koran, disintegrated the defense strength of the city defense army, and divided and surrounded part of the combat power of the mercenary guild and the adventure guild in the Dragon's Lair Adventure Hall and many places in the city. ”
After pausing for a moment to allow Captain Kenmet to digest what he had said, Jialan continued: "If you go now, you will not be able to do anything except have a head-on conflict with hundreds of thousands of goblins, lizardmen, orcs, and barbarians!"
Captain Kenmet understood that Jialan meant to tell him not to take his mercenaries to death.
"But ......"
Kenmet was anxious: "My uncle is still trapped in the Dragon's Lair Adventure Hall!?"
"But you don't have to worry about President Clark's comfort, he'll be safe in the Dragon's Lair Adventure Hall. ”
Jialan shrugged his shoulders: "If my guess is correct, the Mercenary Guild, the Adventure Guild, the Eternal Hammer Auction House, etc., these world-level institutions will not be damaged too much, the goblins will surround those areas at most, as long as they don't resist, they won't attack, and the goblins can't afford to provoke these world-level institutions." ”
These are all summarized by Jialan after reading a large number of historical documents of the Apocalypse Calendar, and a world-level organization like the Mercenary Guild can open branches in every city on the seven continents, so it naturally has their own unique way of survival.
Different mercenary groups under the same mercenary guild can be hired by both warring parties at the same time to fight each other for the mercenary money paid by their employers, but once the winner is decided, the mercenaries can choose to surrender to save the strength of the team and avoid additional casualties.
Therefore, in history, no matter which city-state is attacking and conquest, it will not choose to offend these world-level institutions in the hostile camp with a relatively neutral attitude to death.
After all, the branches of a city-state are easy to destroy, but the strength of the people is all over the world, once the other party is provoked, it is very likely to cause the other party to attack in groups, it is definitely not a blow that the city-state of a city and a country can withstand.
Kenmet cursed a few times in annoyance, "Damn, what the hell are these goblins trying to do?
"Who knows! Maybe they still hold on to the glorious glory of restoring the ancient times and the high goblin civilization!"
Jialan speculated: "Their main purpose is to occupy and not destroy, so it is enough to dismantle the rule of the civil council and the defense organizations such as the city defense army and the city guard, and there is no need to massacre civilians......"
Kenmet was also concerned about the chaos, and after listening to Jialan's inferences and explanations, he also calmed down, and now almost the entire Corland State is occupied by the War Goblin Legion, and the vicinity of the besieged Koran City is where the main force of the War Goblin Legion is located.
He rushed over with more than a thousand mercenaries who had been fighting all night, and indeed as Jialan said, there would be no result except for death.
Moreover, the information obtained with the communication mirror shows that the Dragon's Lair Adventure Hall has a large number of mercenary guilds and adventure guild warriors, plus there are many mage teams from all over the seven continents, the goblins do not dare to act rashly at all, and the safety of President Clark is very guaranteed.
As for what to do with Coran City, it is not something that the head of a mercenary group needs to consider, even the regular city defense army can't resist it, but what can the mercenaries with the obligation of public security and defense do.
"So what do we do now?"
Kenmet, who had figured it out, still asked a little reluctantly, although he didn't say it directly, but if Jialan could lead the group of golden skeletons under his command to participate in the battle, there would be no chance to expel the goblins from Koran City.
Of course, he just thought about it, the Jialan mage didn't have that responsibility, and he risked being mistaken for an evil necromancer to do this.
"Wait!"
Jialan thought for a moment and said simply: "Things will definitely change, other cities in Gilago County can't sit idly by and watch the fall of Coran City, even if we plan to rush to the aid of Corland City, we need a suitable time......
Kenmet thought for a moment, nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around and hurried to settle the injured subordinate.
Jialan stood on the walls of the Doom Fortress, looking at the flames and smoke billowing in the direction of Koran City, and after thinking for a while, she also turned and rushed towards the ruins of the Dragon Worship Sect.
The hired workers who had been housed in the ruins had regained their composure and resumed the production of potions, and the war may have been a disaster for the civilians, but for the Kolai Potion Company, which produced healing potions, it meant a large order.
The ruins of this temple of the Worship Dragon Cult were large enough to house a large number of hired hands and potion production lines, and the golden skeletons were placed deeper.
Entering the hall specially opened for the Golden Skeletons to store, Jia Lan immediately saw thousands of Golden Skeletons raise their heads at the same time, "looking" at him with their eyes that shimmered with soul fire.
Involuntarily, Jialan smiled self-deprecatingly, and walked in front of the Death Summoner, the skeleton mage silently faced Jialan, for a long time, slowly pressed the bone hand to his chest, and lowered his head slightly.
Jialan, who breathed a sigh of relief, circled around the skeleton mage a few times, rubbed her chin, and went to call a few dwarf elders of the Uga clan, pointing to the golden skeleton and said, "Can you find a way to 'arm' them?"
"Arranged?"
A dwarven elder was stunned: "Your Majesty, the Holy Land guards don't need to be armed, they have special dragon armor!" (To be continued......)
