After listening to Carlofil's words, the mercenaries suddenly seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, he said very reasonably, it is not a joke to break through under the heavy siege of the enemy, and to run away while fighting, and to wait for the lighter the things on their bodies, the better, where is there still the strength to carry these many treasures, and then crawl slowly like a turtle?

Everyone was speechless for a while, and their emotions fell to the bottom like a roller coaster.

Elrence smiled and said indifferently: "Don't worry, how can you carry the treasure on your back?" Of course I have another way, you look at the mage tower in front, a long-distance magic teleportation device has been installed in it, which can teleport people and objects directly from here to Illyria. Although Pella's treasure is abundant, we have taken the time to deliver it day and night these days, and we should be able to take most of the most valuable things!"

Then Asopos turned his sorrow into joy and said, "Great! Then we have nothing to worry about, and ten days is enough time to knock out all the most valuable treasures in the city of Perra, and Illyria will be gone!

The evil dragon thought for a moment and said, "There shouldn't be any worries about this, now that the people in Pera City have almost gone, the rest will also leave with the breakout army." They can't break through with too many items, at best they only take the most important ones. We're going to target the ones that are too big to take with us! I'll start by saying hello to Queen Mother Olympias and Prince Regent Perdiccas. Rather than leaving a large amount of treasure in Pera to fight the enemy, it is better to leave it to us to deal with, and burn it out with a fire that cannot be disposed of!"

Early the next morning.

The Northern Dragon Mercenary Regiment is assisted by the Theban warriors and Periande's Moon Elves Northern Legion. It is divided into four teams of people in the southeast, southeast and northwest, and each sets off separately with the magic academy as the center. Each team consisted of about 500 people, led by several mercenary leaders, and some experienced old mercenaries were also appointed as squad leaders, and launched a large-scale search of the whole city!

By this time, the city had become empty, and the ordinary merchants and wealthy families had long since fled, and the princes and ministers who remained behind had packed up and left their mansions. Moved with the family to the barracks. There were only soldiers in the city left in the large and small barricades and sentry posts, and Elrens had already prepared passes for each team of mercenaries, and they could travel unhindered along the way

The first targets they looted were the major buildings in the city. For example, in the current magic academy, there are a large number of treasures hidden in the major laboratories and libraries, and many magicians leave only in time to hastily bring the most precious magical items with them, while the larger ones or those of slightly lower value have to stay. I thought that after the war was over, I could get it back unharmed. Now it can only be cheaper, Ellens and others.

The Grand Palace of Pera to the east has a large number of royal treasures, and the Empress Dowager Olympias, who can only take her precious magical ornaments aboard the floating ship, but cannot take away the countless famous paintings, master sculptures, antique utensils and tributes from various countries hanging on the walls of the palace.

The Twelve Main Shrines in the south, the glorious hall is filled with a dazzling array of golden magic weapons, which are not only of extraordinary value but also contain divine power. High Priest Eurymedon decided to lead some of the clergy to stay here and live and die with the Temple. When Scarface Bakas arrived with a team of mercenaries, Eurymedon had already received news from the Regent. He was also very happy to ask the mercenary group to take away the magic weapons in the temple, after all, if he stayed, he would only let the enemy snatch it!

In addition, there is the Central Bank to the west and its underground Alliance Vault, the Great Alchemist Guild to the north, and so on...... Elrens has already entrusted the Queen Mother to greet the various departments. There is no need to use violence to snatch, and any items that cannot be taken away by others but are of high value and cannot be discarded will be handed over to the mercenary group. If the value is not high or it cannot be handled, it will be burned along with the building, but it cannot be left to the enemy!!

After the first few days of the main buildings, the next few days it was the turn of the residential area of Pera. The neighborhood is home to a large number of wealthy mansions, most of whom were evacuated before the siege of Pera. Due to the haste of the escape, many people only had time to pack up some of their belongings, leaving the rest of their possessions at home. The rich had planned to return home after the war, but that was no longer possible.

Some of their valuables are kept in safes, some are hidden in secret rooms, and some are buried underground, requiring experienced mercenaries to unlock, blast, and excavate them one by one. Although the amount of property that can be found in each mansion is not much, the wealthy areas here are connected and looted row by row, and the number of zuihou gathered is quite staggering.

From this day on, the city of Pera was full of beacons. The Academy of Magic, the Grand Palace, the Main Sanctuary and other magnificent and sacred buildings that took many years to build, these glorious figures in the past, once the holy places that countless people of the Olympia League longed for, are now engulfed in the skyrocketing fire one after another, and Zuihou is burned to ashes. Even if the enemy occupies Pera, in the face of this ruin, he can only sigh......

A few days later, the defenders of the bottomless lake line, which had been miserably divided and surrounded, could no longer hold on, and although the reinforcements on the periphery tried their best to help break through, the Teutonic Knights, led by the enemy's commander Archduke Wallenstein, were very elite and brave, and they played the banner of revenge for the commander-in-chief, and their morale was even higher. The hopeless defenders of the bottomless lake collapsed in despair under the enemy's repeated attacks, and the Zuihou commander Pei Song had to lead the remaining 20,000 men to lay down their arms and surrender.

At this point, the combined forces of HRE and Nicaea have completed the clearance of the perimeter, and the gate outside the city of Pera has been opened, and the enemy has already pointed directly under the city walls. On the second day of Pesson's surrender, the penultimate day of Perdiccas' general breakthrough to Jihua, the armies of Nicaea and the HRE launched an onslaught from the east and north, respectively.

In the early morning of the same day, outside the fortress of Titan Gate, which towered on the north wall of Perra, Holy Rome concentrated more than a hundred heavy magic cannons and several times this light magic cannon and mage regiment, and concentrated their fire to bombard the fortress. After a morning of indiscriminate bombardment, the defenses of the Peri City Locks were greatly weakened, and at this time, the Habsburg Royal Wizards of Holy Rome appeared, and they used the Haode magic circle that had already been placed outside the city to release a powerful and large forbidden spell

A series of doomsday-like thunderbolts pierced through the thick clouds and slammed through the sky above the fortress, a huge explosion rang out with a dull explosion, and the light of the fire that soared into the sky illuminated the entire city of Perra.

When the explosion occurred, Elrens and the members of the mercenary group were in full swing carrying looted supplies within the Academy of Magic. Countless wooden chests were stacked one on top of the other in the open space outside Cleo's Tower, and at first glance they looked like they were piled up!

These chests contain many large magical machines that Perdiccas did not have time to take with them, such as production lines and various parts for making high-quality magical armor and weapons, unassembled magical trebuchets, large crossbows, etc., as well as a full arsenal of new magical equipment that can equip tens of thousands of troops. Some of the supplies could not be bought even if money was available in wartime, and after transporting them all to Illyria, it would certainly increase the war potential of this territory by several notches.

In addition, there are a large number of various scrolls, magic stones, adamantite gold, mythril and other magical raw materials, which are important strategic materials and have a wide range of uses. Zuihou is a myriad of famous paintings, carvings, utensils and other handicrafts, most of which are made by masters, and can be sold for large sums of money to finance military salaries in the future. As for the gold and silver coins, there are countless of them, and the inferior copper coins have been burned down due to their low value and heavy weight. The only fly in the ointment is that the real high-level magic equipment has already been taken away, and the rest are mostly standard weapons.

As Elrens and the mercenaries were in full swing, a mutation struck.

First, a dazzling flash of intense light suddenly appeared in the sky, and everyone was startled, and they all stopped their movements and looked blankly at the north where the big explosion occurred. Immediately after a deafening loud noise, the mercenaries hurriedly covered their ears with their hands, but it was still difficult to resist the shocking sonic impact, and the limbs and bones were aching faintly!

It was as if there were ten thousand rays of light in the sky, and smoke rose from the astonishing flames, forming a hellish and terrifying black mushroom cloud that rose several kilometers high! Everyone was shocked by such a supernatural spectacle, but what caught them off guard was still to come. After the fire and the loud noise, a strong vibration came from a distance, the earth seemed to be boiling, everyone could not stand still and fell to the ground, the temporary stacked wooden boxes fell down, and many mercenaries were crushed or even crushed to death.

When the effects of the explosion finally wore off, chaos reigned in the Academy, with a large amount of supplies scattered all over the ground, and screams and wails of pain continued to be heard. The pale-faced princess Cleo and Ellens looked at each other, and they both felt a strong uneasiness in their hearts.

The city of Pera is broken!
