- His eyes stayed on the horizon divided by the wall outside the city for a while, and Anna Sui shook her head slightly. ¡Ö
The dangers of actual combat are somewhat unpredictable - in this area where various forces are intertwined, a single message error may cause heavy losses to the team, and may also be regarded as a dangerous provocation to certain forces. If the number is too large, people will be found. If there are no suitable opponents, and if there are too few, they are likely to be surrounded and annihilated by various forces on alert everywhere.
Although there are many new weapons called artillery, they are not inferior to mages. But now Burgundy is very lacking in the use and manpower to make these things¡ª¡ª
If possible, Anna Sui also hopes that they can travel with artillery. But weapons like artillery are not perfect The biggest problem is that the production of those shells is very time-consuming. A senior mage can only make a dozen rounds at most every day, and the mages still need to build a complete main defense array. , as well as the anti-teleportation array in the new city, etc., so our current storage capacity is about more than 2,000 rounds, and these are used on more than 200 artillery pieces, which can only support about two battles at most. "
So the purpose of showing the power of those artillery pieces to Tuminis is still just to scare people
In addition, there is food
Most of the food is purchased from the New Empire using armor, but the price is completely disproportionate. A set of armor can currently only be exchanged for about three hundred pounds of food, and the New Empire continues to lower the price. Due to the war, the harvests of several major grain-producing areas in the empire have been greatly reduced this year, so the grain that can be exchanged is now very limited.
If it really doesn't work. We can only use the 'secret weapons' made by him, however. That thing lacks more operators than the artillery, and it is not suitable for the formation of highly capable mages. Unless there is a powerful enough mage to accompany him, once a huge impact is caused, he will easily become the opponent's target.
To put it simply, this is a very powerful cavalry, with strong mobility, thick armor, and a certain amount of magic, but it also has shortcomings that are almost different from the cavalry. There are certain requirements for the ground. If you encounter a magician's formation, you will fall into a certain passivity.
¡°Moreover, this thing is not easy to produce, so several old mages have suggested it as a final killer
What's more, Tuminis also has those metal chariots - they still have a huge advantage in quantity. Of course, you can also let them bring earth elemental creatures with them, but such a high-profile method will also attract unnecessary attention.
certainly. War does not necessarily come immediately.
In such a confrontation, no matter which side the enemy is, they must consider the risk of sending troops rashly, as long as they know it. Even if they can capture Burgundy, they will definitely lose more than they gain and lose their troops. Is this enough? However, the troublesome thing is that the relationship between the city of Burgundy and Tuminis is too close. With the sudden advance of Tuminis, the empire's nervousness towards the city of Burgundy also grew day by day. How will they react? Will they attack first?
If they launch an attack, it will definitely not be on a small scale Burgundy now has fifty high-level mages, as well as a group of mage apprentices, plus the Dark Lady's priest group, and the group of druids. In terms of the number of spellcasters, it can be regarded as a powerful city-state with few rivals on the mainland.
However, the number of mages that the New Empire alone can produce is at least three times this value, and the most important thing is that it has the two imperial electorate legions of Withered White Phoenix and Fei Yan. Each of those elite magic knights has They can almost compete with a mage, or even exceed it. In terms of killing, mages cannot compare with those knights. Although their side also has a great knight, and he is also a dragon, but the other side can't. There are two knight leaders, one of whom is also a spellcaster
¡°It would be nice if there weren¡¯t these refugees.¡±
reflected in the half-elf's eyes, but she was obviously just complaining - refugees are the easiest source of faith. After ensuring food and clothing, it is easy for them to fix their faith. The priests of the Dark Goddess are occupying an increasingly important position in the city. The more important it is, treating the injured, appeasing the people As the price of these tasks, it is extremely necessary to show goodwill to Her Majesty Bellena.
But have you gone too far?
"If it was the Lord of the City, he could probably reject Miss Lisa's request without hesitation. He has never had a good impression of God
In fact, everything is generally running according to what he left behind. I am just clearing and managing the details of the operation., but even so, it was still very hard. A large number of problems that she had never thought about appeared one after another, making her tired to deal with them. And every time, things deviated from the tone he originally set, which often brought trouble. It seemed that It's not difficult to solve, but in the end there will always be problems of one kind or another.
This city really belongs to him but without him, it's like a body without a heart and a brain.
Or to be precise, it should be a body that lacks all important organs. This city, from beginning to end, is just an accessory to him.
Anna Sui couldn¡¯t help but stretched out her hand and pressed her chest. There, a small piece of delicate crystal is hanging quietly under the clothing.
Amidst the subtle tremors, the earth element creature had already stepped onto the city wall, bringing a large expanse of blue sky under the bright sun into view. Anna Sui exhaled gently, and then raised her gaze
She was suddenly stunned.
Right in the center of the field of vision, very close, is the figure of a man standing on the broad city wall. The afternoon sun outlined a hazy golden edge around the black clothing, but it seemed to make the black more gloomy. He stood there with his head slightly bowed, as if he was overlooking the entire city
Edward?
At that moment, the staff lady almost screamed, but she immediately suppressed her voice from the bottom of her heart.
That person is certainly not Edward, although he does look a bit like
This is a very tall man. His broad shoulders and strong waist made him look even taller than he actually was. He was wearing a long black coat. But it fell down to the knees, revealing the boots underneath. And the hair is black, a bit like Edward's hair color but it is different from the hunter Psion who likes to be gloomy, indifferent, and always looks inconspicuous. He is taller and stronger, and even wears a long sword.
No, it¡¯s completely different What happened to me?
Why did you suddenly reflexively think it was him? It's just a piece of clothing of the same color. Do you really want to see him that much? That damn, cunning one. Another cold bastard?
The staff lady shook her head slightly, as if to get the ridiculous idea out of her mind. At this time, the man turned his head and met her eyes.
"Hello, this beautiful lady." He nodded his chin slightly, and then, as if he noticed Anna Sui's difference, showed a gentle smile and his angular features. Let this smile be quite charming: "Excuse me, I was attracted by this beautiful scenery, so I walked up unconsciously. Then I found that it actually looks better here"
¡°Of course this is just a lie.
Although Burgundy¡¯s inner city wall no longer assumes the first layer of defense tasks. But it's not a place where people can wander around at will. After all, when you come here, there are at least many ways to threaten the safety of the inner city, so there are usually two or three soldiers taking care of the watchtowers on the side. Except for a few people with special status like myself who came up through the only way, everyone knew them. No matter who they are, they will be subject to certain questioning, even soldiers who manage the same city are no exception.
Is this guy a spy?
If so. He was probably a very skilled spy, but also the stupidest one - although one could have an unobstructed view of all the surrounding situations on this unobstructed city wall walkway, it would also be seen by others
So, why was he not discovered?
The earth element creature wavered and placed Anna Sui on the ground. In an instant, it had transformed from a horse into a small ball, curled up in her hand - as long as the staff lady moved her mind, it could turn into a ball. A strong shield or a sharp blade, or even a row of stone edges protruding directly from the opponent's feet that could crush people.
"Civilians are not allowed to come up here at will."
Anna Sui said coldly, but did not directly order the stone elemental creature to capture him. Or maybe it was the other party's calm attitude that made her hesitate a little.
The man's smile didn't seem to be pretentious at all, as if he had no idea what the consequences would be if he came to this city wall - but on this continent, I'm afraid there are no city walls that can tolerate strangers. People climb freely unless they have a clear identity.
"Ah, yes, but I probably can't be considered a civilian." The young man was stunned, and then his expression became a little embarrassed. It seemed that the staff lady's answer was beyond his expectation: "It failed for the first time. " He murmured in a low voice, shook his head, and straightened his expression: "I'm looking for your city lord, Your Excellency Edward."
"The Lord of the City went out and did not return."
"I guess you are probably the acting city lord, Miss Anna Susanna Zolgen? I've heard about her name for a long time." The man smiled.
But Anna Sui was suddenly shocked!
Her own name, the one who worked in the empire and carried two prominent family titles, was rarely mentioned even in the empire, and even she herself was a little unfamiliar But this person said it, Who is he? What do you want to do?
She raised her hand upward.
Amid a harsh roar, countless rock spikes suddenly protruded from the ground! The last time in her memory, the affairs of those empire spies were entangled with the arrival of the incarnation of the Lord of the Dawn, leaving an indelible impression on Anna Sui, so she almost did not hesitate to use the earth element's attack power at this moment. The protruding rocks on the city wall covered an area of ??nearly twenty feet like sharp blades, and were ten feet high, stabbing the man directly!
Oops!
The staff lady's eyes shrank. She didn't expect that the murderous intention she had just conveyed to the earth element was so strong, but in her eyes, the pierced figure was suddenly coated with a layer of bright color. of silver. Then it was afraid of exploding and turning into countless flying crystal fragments!
"What a fierce and terrifying young lady" That person's voice. It came leisurely from behind the ridge of a rock, and followed the sound. He had slowly risen from behind the stone sword, and looked at Anna Sui condescendingly: "I just called your name, you're not going to stab me to death, right?"
"You have violated the city'spublic security management and punishment regulations. According to the laws established by the Lord of the City, I have the right to make any punishment against you!"
Anna Sui slowly took a few steps back, reached out and took out a few chess pieces from her waist, and threw them out casually - it is still unclear what the origin of the person in front of her was, but he was able to survive the sudden stone sword without any warning. A harmless existence will never be harmless.
With a slight gurgling sound. Several chess pieces have expanded separately, occupying all four directions. The silver queen raises her staff, the black iron castle spreads its blade-like arms, the bishop's staff flashes, and the knight's mount steps out a string of fire on the rocks on the ground. !
"Oops, this is really Okay, I'm rude, I introduced myself late um. I'm Stellan Silver Ryan Fernandez." His eyes passed over the murderous structure. Pretending to be creatures, the young man floating in the air shook his head, seeming to feel something was absurd: "I want to see Edward Vincent, my mentor. So, is this reason enough for you to cancel your treatment of me?" Accused? Ms. Anna Sui?"
"What?"
"Ah, I didn't lie this time? I am Stellan Silver Ryan Fernandez. I think. Maybe not many people are willing to fake this name, right?"
Anna Sui raised her head, her light gray eyes wide open. Surprised by that name - Stellan Silver Lane Fernandez, anyway. I'm afraid this name cannot be repeated. It is also difficult to be counterfeited because it represents not only a person, but also a family and a country!
His Majesty the Fourth of Fernandez, a young and promising monarch, a man who started a war on the continent, and a butcher who captured more than a third of the empire's territory and killed tens of thousands of imperial civilians. , the executioner's king?
Is it fake? Or is it real?
Anna Sui had to take a deep breath to calm down the waves in her heart.
"Is there anything that can confirm your identity?"
She asked, while carefully looking at this man's appearance - it had nothing to do with the established impression of a king, without any luxury or magnificence: a simple black long coat with some hand-embroidered patterns, but under the It was blurry in the afternoon sunlight. The sword at the waist was just an ordinary knight's style, without a cage handle, and the brass carving patterns were even a little blackened. It looks like something commonly used by small nobles with certain assets in the countryside of the empire.
But in his case, these things seemed to have a different meaning. Without the narrow-mindedness and vulgarity of those little nobles, it felt like it was completely suitable for him
An idea suddenly came to Anna Sui's mind - the similarity between him and Edward was not in appearance, but in something inside. What he possesses is a dignified demeanor, as if he looks down upon all things and regards the world as his own.
Should I say it¡¯s confidence or arrogance?
"Even if I can get it, how are you going to verify it?" The young man sneered: "Forget it, if Edward is not here,Then, I have no choice but to ask you to tell him that I want to borrow his city teleportation circle to transfer a group of soldiers and resources. "
"this¡¡"
Anna Sui was silent for a moment Yes, in name, this is Tuminis' city. Of course he has the right to issue orders, which is understandable. But this reason is of course extremely absurd here. You must know that Burgundy has already left the territory of Tuminis at this moment. In essence, Edward is no longer a subordinate of the king at all.
"What is the reason for your hesitation? Because this is no longer Tuminis, or because you want to get appropriate benefits from me?" The young king was silent for a moment, and then asked. "How interesting, I should say, you are indeed worthy of being his?"
Anna Sui smiled slightly.
Of course, she is psychologically biased towards the Empire, but she is also very clear that this city does not belong to her Although now, the ratio of Empire people has greatly exceeded that of Tuminis and Tuminis who originally lived in the city. Half-elves, but they control the management of the city after all. Whether they can accept the empire psychologically is a very important question.
"The empire won't give you much of what you need, especially food."
The words of the young king made Anna Sui narrow her eyes slightly - in terms of food production, although the empire's land is quite fertile, it cannot be compared with Tuminis who can generally harvest food twice a year, not to mention the mage. Regarding the control of weather and the growth of crops. In addition, the empire's food storage and collection is a protracted activity - although lords from various places can plunder at any time under the banner of collection, their results will not be quickly gathered into the hands of the upper class. after autumn
During the process of conquest, their efforts to collect food were obviously higher than those in the empire.
As conquerors, they can (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! - Didn't finish reading?
