Chapter 592
The night wind howls above the sea, and in the dim and huge ceiling projection of the rich hall, the two gods climb to the peak step by step with the movement of the clock one by one.
Zhang Lisheng looked up at all this, his breathing unconsciously became a little shorter, and at this moment, a suppressed angry voice suddenly came from behind him, "Mr. Zhang Lisheng, may I ask if you are a nobleman in your hometown, if so, please allow me to throw the sword scabbard at your feet?"
In the culture of the landers, a nobleman throwing his sword scabbard at the feet of another nobleman means an invitation to a duel that never stops, and Zhang Lisheng heard this custom when chatting and couldn't help but look back in surprise.
When he saw that the stout man behind him who was wearing a crisp blue uniform at the masquerade, and his face was the businesswoman's lover, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then realized that it was probably his speech at dinner yesterday that leaked out, which caused him to be so hateful.
If he was usually provoked by Cayman Luo like this, the young man would not mind giving him an unforgettable lesson, but at this time, the 'poor dagger' was already close at hand, but Zhang Lisheng had no intention of being entangled by some ridiculous misunderstandings, laughing silently, turning his head and continuing to look at the ceiling.
It's a pity that the trouble won't be easily dispersed as long as it is found, Zhang Lisheng's casual smile fell in Cayman Luo's eyes, which made him even more angry, but relying on his deep temperament and good cultivation, the city defense officer did not lose his mind, but forcibly endured the churning anger, and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth, "If you don't accept the identity of my scabbard, then it's best to understand the difference between dignity and inferiority."
Don't be delusional about getting 'treasures' that you don't deserve. His voice fell to the ground. Someone next to him suddenly said in a disdainful tone: "The difference between dignity and inferiority, isn't the only criterion for distinguishing the noble and the humble in 'Cataman' is the amount of wealth, from this point of view, I really can't think of any 'treasure' that cannot be possessed by His Excellency Li Sheng." β
Hearing this, Cayman Roe looked in the direction where the voice came from, staring at a beautiful woman wrapped in light silk embroidered with falling petals, and asked in a cold voice: "Lady Nia Keventer, do you say this to make the 'Mermaid Firm' lose my friendship and the friendship of the entire Horton family?"
"Cayman Law City Guard, why do you want to say that, I was just stating a fact. The woman smiled. walked to Zhang Lisheng's side. "Your Excellency Li Sheng, we meet again..."
"Look, zero o'clock is coming soon. Zhang Lisheng interrupted Niya's words inexplicably and said quietly.
"yes. The new year is just around the cornerβ" The woman chuckled and nodded. was about to vaguely test the young man for a few words. But he was suddenly choked by the majesty and hideousness that Zhang Lisheng's raised side face inadvertently began to slowly reveal.
At the same time, in the projection of the ceiling of the hall, the 'Goddess of the Sea' and the 'Emperor of the Three Seas', who have reached the top of the cliff, hold torches aloft. Strolled to an ancient bronze hanging bell that was more than three people tall and covered with blue rust spots, and grabbed the thick hemp rope tied to the hammer.
There were only a few seconds left in the old year, and the projection of the Hall of Richness began to slowly pull away, raising the angle to absorb the entire vast offshore sea, and suddenly on the dim sea illuminated by the moonlight, a row of huge ships appeared side by side.
"That, what is that..."Rubbing his eyes, he realized that it was not his hallucination, and someone shouted in dismay, and as soon as the exclamation came out, it was drowned out by the sound of a brass bell ringing the bell.
Then the dazzling firelight in the whole projection flashed non-stop, and the loud 'rumbling...' that shook the heavens and the earth accompanied by the shaking of the mountains descended on the city of Heinheimman, and the noisy cannon fire poured on the city walls rendered the entire night sky as if it were a sea of fire.
"Enemy, enemy attack
No, no, it is the army of the gods, only the gods, only the gods can have such a terrible army, certainly, it must be the greed and ugliness of the Catamanese who have finally angered the gods, and that's why the end will come...";
"Is it the devil, is it the devil who has passed through the gates of hell and is coming to destroy 'Heinheimman'...";
"God, God, such an army is not something that the city defense army can resist at all, we, we should flee immediately, yes, escape, flee immediately..."
On the deck, countless humanoid monsters riding huge poisonous insects, evil dragons, and fierce beasts swarmed ashore;
The black leather ships that floated and sank on the surface of the sea as if they had life broke free from the shackles of the sea water and hung in the air, cracking thousands of hollow mouthparts all over their bodies, spraying strong light and acid streams, and a large part of the nobles in the rich hall quickly collapsed and wailed.
Seeing that the chaotic crowd was about to scatter and flee, and that it was likely to trample each other to death without the enemy's action, the city lord of Heinheimman, dressed in blue robes, jumped to the center of the hall with a leap, and the wand in his hand slammed to the ground, making a long loud 'bang' as it shattered.
"Everyone calm down and stand still," Sayero shouted in a quiet voice, "Look at the speed of those monsters' march, there are no riding beasts in Heinheimman City that can escape their pursuit, and leaving the city now is tantamount to suicide."
Our city is protected by the magic array and the alchemy tower, even if the real god and demon army is coming, it is not so easy to fall, such a huge siege battle will definitely alarm other city-states, as long as you persevere, I believe that reinforcements will arrive soon, the most important thing now is not to mess with yourself.
Now I order the city guards in the Hall of Fertility to divide them to the left and right from the center point where I stand, with those on the left to gather your troops to guard the order of the city, and those on the right to reinforce the city walls. β
The voice of the strong-willed and unfazed power gradually calmed down the hearts of the people in the hall, and the city defense officials shouted in unison, "Obey the orders of the city lord." No one fled in terror.
As a member of the city defense officer, Cayman Luo naturally had no intention of making trouble with Zhang Lisheng at this time, clenched the long sword at his waist, showed a resolute look on his face, turned around and walked out, but suddenly saw a longing figure break into his eyes.
Stopping and smiling dryly, the city guard hesitated for a moment, strolled up to Ya Ji and whispered, "I've been looking for you throughout the celebration, but, but...
Forget it, I should apologize to you for being too impulsive just now, it may have caused trouble for your trading firm, I know that's not right, but I can't help it, I can't help it..."
"Come back alive," the businesswoman whispered as she covered Caymanro's mouth with trembling hands.
"You've always been so proud, and you've thought of yourself so much," replied the city guard in a pretended manner, "I'm not that vulnerable, because I deliberately seek death because I lost you..."
"Come back alive, I just ask you for this one thing...", Ya Ji continued to demand.
"I really want to answer you 'good', I want to be able to answer you 'good' no matter what you ask me to do," after a few seconds of silence, Cayman Luo reached out and touched the tears from the corner of the businesswoman's eyes, smiled and said, "But I am a warrior, a warrior who will go to the battlefield to face the fiercest enemy and defend my homeland, so I can't answer you like that."
I'm sorry, Jagi...", and strode away.
Yaji's body stiffened, and she stood like a sculpture for a while, and suddenly her body was shaky and gradually collapsed, "Oh, my poor Yaji..."
Zhang Lisheng, who was not far away, naturally didn't care about all this, and at the same time as the businesswoman and the city defense officer staged the 'love tragedy', he looked up at the projection, and saw that the originally collapsed city wall ruins suddenly lit up with mysterious multicolored formations, and the rubble rolled and re-built together as if it had been given life.
The Wuli warriors who raided into the city drove their 'partners' into the magic circle, and their movements immediately more than doubled, and the strength of the 'shell' wrapped around their bodies was also greatly weakened, and they suffered casualties in the fight with those heavily armored city defenders who were not afraid of death.
However, in the increasingly tragic offensive and defensive staggering, the Wuli Expeditionary Force still occupies an absolute advantage, even if groups of inanimate alchemy warriors like robots continue to reinforce the Heinheiman City Defense, it is already doomed to be unable to save the defeat of the landers.
But even so, the occupation of the city without a single blow still made Zhang Lisheng frown, "A merchant city-state of a land-man is so difficult, how strong should the strength of a continental military power like Yasen and Flange be.
It's no wonder that even a powerful and superior civilization like 'Atlantis' did not dare to easily set off a 'battle to conquer the world'."
He was muttering to himself, when he suddenly heard someone behind him say in a slightly sad tone: "Your Excellency Li Sheng, the love story between Ya Ji and Cayman Luo is really an iron man who will cry when he sees it, Your Excellency Li Sheng, it is really cruel for you to break up such a couple." β
"Serinya, I said long ago that things are not what you think. After Zhang Lisheng came back to his senses, he glanced at Princess Fran and pouted, strolled to the side of the businesswoman who was surrounded by people and had a pale face, and said: "Yaji, do you remember what I said to you, as long as you obey me, all your troubles will no longer be troubles, and now it's time to really choose." β
"What is for me, you have always to tempt and persecute me, I am just the daughter of a merchant's family, what is this for, what is it for..."
"Because in my hometown, the first condition for conquering foreign races is to find a surrenderer with enough influence," Zhang Lisheng replied calmly and unscrupulously: "Your bloodline and talent allow you to have such influence in Heinheimmann City;
'Heinheimman' also has a pivotal position in the city-state of Cataman;
And 'Cataman' is a big country for the entire 'Green Leaf Continent', if you have played a game called 'Dominoes', you will know that the first card that is knocked down does not have to be full of weight, as long as you can knock down the second card just right. (To be continued......)
