Text Chapter 736: The Code of the Great Nobles

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Standing on the watchtower in the city and looking into the distance, His Excellency the Duke could clearly see the steady stream of red waves coming.

    Looking at those dark red monsters and the smell of sulfur floating in the distance, His Excellency the Duke, who had never experienced a battlefield, was shocked and almost fell down with weak legs.

    Fortunately, the loyal guard captain's net supported the noble Duke.

    "Otherwise, the Atayal Kingdom will have to leave a joke that everyone can talk about.

    It is really embarrassing for a dignified Duke and city lord to be so frightened that his legs weakened when he saw the enemy, and he fell to his death under the watchtower.

    Seeing the ugly expression on Duke Parmalat's face, the guard captain hurriedly reported: "I see that those monsters are not strong. If we use all the guards and use the city defense army as bait, we will be able to protect you and break out of the siege!"

    To be honest, the guard captain was also a senior officer drawn from the front-line army in actual combat. He had good eyesight and could see through the strength of those little evil monsters at a glance and made a plan.

    You must know that as the guard that protects the safety of Duke Parmalat, Duke Parmalat is not stingy at all. He throws a lot of gold coins down. Regardless of the strength of the guard members or the equipment, in the Kingdom of Atayal, except for the royal guards,  It's the strongest outside.

    The total number of guard members remained at 300, which didn't seem to be much, but all of them were high-level knights, and there were three distinguished mages sitting in the formation. The weapons and armors were also magic suits. Such a guard was pulled out to kill these little lemures.  It is impossible to annihilate, but it is easy to carve out a bloody path.

    After hearing the report from the captain of the guard, the Duke of Parmalat did not praise the captain of the guard for his bravery.  Instead, his face darkened and he snorted coldly.  Without saying anything, he turned around and left the watchtower.

    "Are you kidding me? I am a rich man. How can I rush into monsters like brave men like you?"  If anything, wouldn't this Duke's good life be ruined in the hands of idiots like you?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If this Black Grass City comes to an end, even if your Duke I escape, I will probably have to be dismissed from office and lose my title.  It would be more refreshing to just jump into a group of monsters and die!

    Compared with the bravery of these guard members, it is impossible for Duke Parmalat to take risks. After all, the defense of Black Grass City looks pretty good. Even if he wants to run away, he must make arrangements to minimize the risk. How?  Maybe he would just stupidly rush into the sea of ??little lemures.

    A body of gold.  This is the principle of not sitting in danger, and as a high-ranking nobleman, Duke Parmalat is a practitioner of this principle.

    Not to mention there are countless monsters outside, even if there are only a few hundred monsters, if you want the Duke to leave the city, please destroy all the monsters outside first.  The Duke will rest for a few days. If no monsters appear again, then the Duke may leave the city under heavy protection.

    ¡°Don¡¯t laugh, this is the style of great nobles.

    The two noble words of heroism and sacrifice have nothing to do with them, if possible.  Eliminating all dangers is their kingly way.

    After leaving the watchtower.  Duke Parmalat immediately ordered the accompanying mage to pass on the news of the monster siege, and inadvertently revealed that this year's taxes from Black Grass City had not yet been escorted back home.

    Well, Duke Parmalat just used a small trick. If it were just the news that he was under siege, I am afraid that the news would spread to the royal city, and many people would secretly applaud, and some might even hinder the rescue of the army.  .

    But if the news of the tax spreads, I'm afraid His Majesty the King will become anxious. Duke Parmalat knows the financial situation of the kingdom well.

    At present, the taxes from Black Grass City account for almost 30% of the entire kingdom's tax revenue. If this money cannot be recovered, I am afraid that the kingdom's finances will fall into an embarrassing situation of bankruptcy.

    This is not alarmist. As the second most powerful country in the human kingdom, King Atayal also ranks among the top three in the human kingdom in terms of the number of troops. The huge number of troops has already overwhelmed the kingdom, not to mention the industries of major churches due to theocratic power.  It is higher than the royal power and is tax-free. In addition to the tax reduction policy for noble industries, the burden on the kingdom's finances can be imagined.

    After spreading the news, Duke Parmalat went straight back to the city lord's palace, held a grand banquet, and invited all the nobles, wealthy businessmen, and all kinds of ladies in the city to have fun.

    To be honest, Parmalat's pretentiousness was somewhat useful. Seeing the city lord calmly holding a banquet, the panic in the whole city suddenly weakened a lot.

    The captain of the guard followed the order of His Excellency the Duke and summoned the top brass of the city defense army and even the leaders of the caravans to carry out city defense arrangements.

    To say that the whole thing at this timeThe number of troops in Cao Cao City is quite considerable.

    Heicao City was originally a border city, so the number of city defense troops exceeded three thousand, and the major caravans stranded here also had a lot of mercenaries, totaling two thousand.

    ¡°Besides, Duke Parmalat¡¯s guard has three hundred high-ranking knights. With such a military force gathered together, in the mind of the guard captain, there is no problem in escorting the Duke away.

    "It's a pity that the Duke doesn't care about his plan. It's a pity."

    Under the arrangement of the guard captain, half of the troops were deployed on the towering city wall of Black Grass City, and the other half of the troops were stationed in the Tibetan Soldier Cave under the city wall. As for the guards, except for No. 100 who protected the Duke,  Apart from the others, the remaining two hundred knights are full of maneuvers. Wherever there is danger, these knights will be deployed there.

    The little lemures were determined to kill the enemy when facing a city wall about twenty meters high, but they were unable to do so. After all, although they had a pair of small bat wings, they could only bounce up to four meters at most, which was not even half of the city wall.  If you don't arrive, how can you rush up to the city wall?

    In desperation, the little evil demons could only surround the Black Grass City, looking at the humans appearing on the city wall from time to time, licking their tongues greedily, dreaming that they could kill on the city wall and get a piece of delicious flesh and blood.

    After being surrounded for a day, there was no movement either on the city wall or under the city wall. The only movement was that the senior knights pulled their strong bows from time to time and shot the little lemures under the city at will, in an attempt to intimidate the enemy in this way.

    But these humans don't know much about the habits of demons. If they charge head-on, they may be able to kill these little evil demons until they are terrified and run away. However, such shooting can only make the little evil demon's simple brain think  These human beings are very cowardly. They only dare to hide on the towering city walls and make sneak attacks. They do not dare to come down to fight.
