Chapter 1500: Under the castle

In April, the spring breeze warmed the earth, and the first flowers in early spring were still blooming. .
Originally this season should be a good time for the nobles to go outing and hunting. The animals that slept in the cave for a whole winter were hungry and yelled.
But in this beautiful season, the Atrens city guard mansion was in chaos.
Originally, they should have appeared in the forest on the outskirts of the city.
Even the passers-by outside the castle mansion felt the tension wafting from inside.
Groups of officers rushed back and forth, in and out.
The servants were all panicked, and their horrified eyes glanced at the hall of the mansion from time to time, hesitating whether to flee here first.
Across the high exterior wall, there was a burst of melodious and cheerful music from the street, and the people in the city were celebrating the development of Chunhua.
The hustle and bustle outside the wall is in sharp contrast with the tension and panic in the castle mansion.
In the hall of the city guard mansion that has been attracting attention, General Perros sat in his chair, covering his face with his hands, in painful contemplation.
In a short period of three days, Lorraine led an army of humans swept in like a frenzy.
At the rate of one building a day, the three important towns of Klamath, Al, and Thados have been broken one after another. These three passes are the outer defense lines of Atrens City.
The tens of thousands of defenders deployed by General Pieros at the pass did not last for a day, either defeated or surrendered.
To lay them down is like tearing off the last coat of Atrens City.
The striker of the human coalition is now only thirty miles away from the city of Atrence.
Maybe within a few minutes, the people on the head of the city will be able to see the banner of the coalition forces.
This time the human coalition is known as one million, even the most conservative estimate, the human army attacking the city of Atrens is as high as 200,000.
Just relying on the current defenders in the city, it is not even enough to stuff people's teeth.
General Perros also made the same mistake as the generals in the Imperial City of Akadrien.
When Lorraine led his army just landed in the Caribbean, General Perros was also on the verge of an enemy. After all, his Atrens city was not far from the Caribbean.
General Perros immediately took action, recruited a large number of soldiers, prepared for war, organized all the right-age youths in the surrounding villages, issued them weapons, and incorporated them into the militia or garrison.
Determined to turn this place into a sincere and benevolent Stalingrad...Bah, a bah, a sincere and benevolent Ruman city. A steel line of defense was forged with blood and flesh, which blocked humans for a month, waiting for reinforcements from the rear to come up.
But one month, two months, three months...
Four months have passed, and the weather has changed from winter to spring. General Perros is like a watchman's stone, standing on the head of the city eagerly waiting for the army of mankind, and will probably say "Lorraine, why are you not here? Not coming yet..."
The of Lorraine has been lying motionless in the Caribbean, just not coming, and there is not even a sign of a military march, which makes them very puzzled.
Therefore, he also guessed that Lorraine came across the sea and this logistical supply had a problem.
Think about it, too, a Caribbean region with a population of more than 100,000 cannot support millions of humans. Logistic materials must be shipped by sea. Winter is a time when storms on the ocean are frequent.
How wise as the high priest, he has already laid chess pieces on the human continent.
At best, mankind is like the first time mankind landed in the Caribbean hundreds of years ago. They can only stand on the coast, unable to make progress, relying on the strong defenses of the city, and stick to resistance.
This was confirmed by various investigations and spies afterwards.
Mankind has been hoarding materials, building fortifications, and establishing a defensive circle in the Caribbean city. It has shown a very obvious intention to build the Caribbean into a strong fortress.
This made him extremely contemptuous: What kind of flying eagle war god, is completely blowing the rhythm of the little cow flying in the sky. What an idiot~!
Human beings are really no one, and sent such a little boy with a white face.
If you are landing your army, you will inevitably expand your territory as soon as your morale is in full swing, combining feints and detours, and catching your opponent by surprise, taking the opportunity to expand your battle results and plunder the resource population.
Then he continued to siege the city and plunder the land, and launched a frontal decisive battle with the Semitic army to destroy the enemy's vital forces, and finally captured Akadrin.
But this little white face has a million troops, but he has been nesting in the Caribbean and can't come out, like a mouse hiding in a hole, he is a coward.
Such a person can be called a of war?
General Perros believes that the so-called God of War should be 3,000 to 10,000, and with 20,000 to 30,000 people can chase the enemy and run around the world with hundreds of thousands.
Instead of sitting in the room all day, approving documents and looking at maps, it's like a maiden.
At that time, he wanted to send troops to attack the Caribbean, even if he didn't hit them, he would scare them.
But... But as the governor of the province of Morendo, he does not have the power to cross the zone and initiate a war on his own initiative, which must be approved by the highest political axe.
In addition, Madolins had been engaged in a major purge, and he was also very frightened, afraid to take a step beyond the thunder pool. The fear attracted Madolins's attention.
At the beginning of the year, because the regional situation had almost completely eased, he was paralyzed, and even the tens of thousands of soldiers recruited urgently were disbanded-so many soldiers, people fed by horses, even if they don’t have to give them. They pay military salaries, but they also need a lot of money.
Moreover, due to the great purge, the various departments of Akadelin's political axe were almost completely paralyzed, so the money and food cannot be reimbursed by the government at all, and can only be digested within the province.
It means that he has to pay for the money.
As the province of Morendo, like other vast Semitic regions, the people are already in poverty, and the annual taxation, worship, and apportionment tasks have long drained their blood.
The people simply can't afford such expenses, they can only compulsorily find the rich to share.
In this case, it is okay to support the army for a while, but for three to five months, it seems that it is a little weak to support. The nobles and rich people also complained.
In addition, after the mud legs found from the countryside got the real guy, they suddenly became sideways. There were more than a dozen riots that attacked nobles and robbed grain and money banks, as well as robberies in the city. The number of murders suddenly increased.
Therefore, seeing that the humans had not come, General Perros would disband them, but retained the organizational system. In this way, even if something happened, he could recruit them again in a short period of time to get the best of both worlds.
But the hurricane of the human army rushed forward and made rapid progress, which suddenly broke his wishful thinking.
In three days, in just three days, he had already attacked the city of Atrence, 500 kilometers from the Caribbean.
This is equivalent to that they have to walk one hundred and sixty kilometers every day.
Such a fast attack is rare in the world, it is almost like flying, and the most powerful cavalry can't run so fast.
When you think of it, you can't help but be frightened.
It really deserves to be the Flying Eagle God of War~!
How did humans do it? Is it that the wings are all on the back?
Thinking of this, Pieros couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Although he is also a professional soldier, he also knows countless military battles, but by looking at Lorraine's fierce offensive, this can be regarded as knowing what the so-called "soldier is expensive" is.
When he got the news and wanted to recruit soldiers again, Lorraine had already occupied half of the province of Morando, and couldn't react at all.
Now, although there are still several armies in the city, Perros knows the quality of those armies very well, and it is only enough to suppress the gangsters holding wooden sticks in their hands.
Compared to the human army of millions, it is simply throwing stones into the sea, and even a splash of water will not splash.
I can't win the fight. The key question is now...what should I do now?
At this moment, there was a faintly distant sound of ‘woo woo’, and Perros could not help but shake.
Because of his many years of experience in the army, he immediately responded: This is the horn of the army~!
The human army is already approaching~!
He hesitated for a moment, and then a firm gaze flashed in his eyes, then he adjusted his clothes, fastened his own style, and wore a waist knife, and then stepped out.
At this moment, a guard suddenly came in to report: "My lord, there are guests visiting."
Pieros couldn't help but stunned, "Guest? What guest?"
The guard also had a strange look, he hesitated and said: "He...he said, it's an old friend of an adult. As long as you see it, you will know."
A cold light flashed in Piero's eyes, and he looked at the guard coldly: It was an emergency now, how could he suddenly come to report such a small matter?
A cold sweat broke out on the guard's forehead, and he trembled: "My lord, he said that you have been friends with him for many years, and the villain dare not call the shots casually, so..."
"The same... classmate..." Pieros was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered, and finally said: "Please come in..."
The guard agreed, then turned to leave.
At this time, Pieros' heart suddenly turned, and the ghost said in a special way: "Please come in through the side door, so that no one can see it."
The guard froze for a moment, then agreed, then turned and left.
After a while, I heard a sound of footsteps, and then, under the guidance of the guards, a burly middle-aged man strode in.
Just by looking at his even pace, you can know that this is a well-trained professional soldier.
Seeing the man swaggering in, Perros could not help but stand up suddenly, but then realized his gaffe, calmed down a bit, raised his chin to the guard, and said: "You can go out. By the way, and don't let it. Others come in."
The guard agreed and then retreated.
Only Perros and the mysterious man remained in the hall.
Pieros looked at him coldly, and after a while, he said slowly: "Mello, it really is you."
The man raised his head, the sun shone on his face, showing a firm face. It was General Merlot, the commander of the Semitic Expeditionary Army under the city of Ryder, and the commander of the 5th Division of the Imperial Guard who led the uprising before the battle.
Melo looked at him and smiled: "Why? Not welcome?"
Piero said in a deep voice: "What are you doing? I really have nothing to say with a traitor like you."
Melo couldn't help but smile, and then said: "If there is really nothing to say, you would have drawn your sword long ago."
Pieroston was lagging.
Melo smiled and sat down, and then said: "Come today, there is no other meaning, just come to chat with you, persuade you..."
Pieros snorted coldly, interrupted his words, and said, "If you come to persuade me to surrender, that's fine."
Melo stopped for a while, and then smiled: "How is it possible? I'm here to persuade you to revolt before the battle."
Pieros froze for a moment, and said, "Is there any difference between the two?"
Merlot sighed and said: "The difference is naturally big. The uprising before the battle is considered a renunciation. As long as the past is considered a success, but surrender, there is nothing."
Pieros hesitated.
Melo sighed: "Why are you still hesitating? The guards of the three cities of Klamath, Al, and Sados were not as hesitant as you. When I said at the time, they immediately revolted."
Pieros couldn't help but shook, and then he understood: Why did the Lorraine army attack so quickly.
He slapped the table vigorously, and shouted sternly: "That gang of traitors~! I swear against them~!"
Melo snorted coldly, and said, "Open your eyes and see who is the traitor. The high priest has enslaved the Semites for two thousand years and has adopted a policy of stupid people. All classes are convinced, even the royal family has nothing to do with it. He had no human rights and dignity, and he was beaten by him.
The tax and silver collected each year are worth 200 million gold coins.
But for your official position, you help the abuser and the tiger. Who is the traitor of the Semi?
And the human army has traveled far across the ocean, only to destroy the undead high priest. Help me rebuild freedom, reading ability, and equality. Break free from the iron-fisted prison of the high priest.
Who is the loyal minister? "
His words exploded in the hall like thunder, and there was a buzzing echo in the shaking room.
Pieros was stunned for a long time, but in the end he could only say in a quiet voice: "I admit that the undead high priest is indeed enslaving my race. Every year two hundred million gold coins are paid to the undead, which is indeed too much. But. ..."
Having said that, his words changed, and he said: "But do you believe that humans will help us? Too naive, right?"
Melo smiled bitterly and said, "You are too naive. Can't you see the predicament we are in now?
We can only reduce conflicts and civil wars as much as possible, preserve our strength, and accumulate strength. In order to destroy the high priest with the humans and break free from the shackles on his body.
that time……"
When he said this, he couldn't help but pause, and then asked, "No matter how powerful a human is, it is easier to deal with than the high priest? Isn't it?"
Pieros couldn't help thinking.
Melo was not in a hurry, but sat across the table and drank tea leisurely.
After a while, Pieros was still difficult to decide. Although Merlot spoke beautifully, it was still unacceptable to him to cooperate with humans...and the enemies of the Semitic for thousands of years.
At this moment, I heard a sound of footsteps suddenly, and then, under the guard of several guards, a middle-aged man strode in.
He was tall and thin, with potholes on his face, and looked extremely cold and brutal.
As soon as he came in, he yelled, "Perros, the enemy is already coming down, why don't you issue an order to resist? Do you want to treason and surrender?"
Believe it or not, I'm slashing you right now? "
With that, he pressed the knife at his waist aggressively.
Pieros looked at the man and sighed.
That guy's called Karud.
Even though he was the governor of a province, it was a headache to meet that person, because he was a running dog supervising army sent by Madolins.
Because Hawks, Pat and other high-ranking officials of the Semitic political axe defected, although Madolins also tried to promote remedy and weaken the influence as much as possible, it is undeniable that they brought the Semitic political axe to Heavy blow.
Madolins learned from it painfully, and was also afraid that high-ranking officials in other places would also defect to the enemy, so he went up and started purging and eliminating unsettled elements.
In order to stabilize the overall situation, Madolins did not mobilize the local political axe officials, but sent the prison army to the place, like the province of Morendo, which is close to the Caribbean and may be hit by the enemy at any time. Strictly monitor their every move.
Pieros said in a deep voice, "Karuder, be honest, I have a guest."
Karud froze for a moment, then rolled his eyes and saw Merlot sitting across the table.
Two flashes of light flashed in his eyes, and then he said in a nonchalant voice: "What I said."
He paused, then touched off his horse, and said to Merlot, "Where did you come from? Why do I find you so suspicious when I look at you?"
Melo looked down at his clothes in surprise, and said, "You can see all of this? You are really amazing. It really deserves to be called the Dog Nose Karud."
Karud was startled and said in a deep voice: "Do you know me? Who are you? Where are you from? Say it quickly."
Melo looked at Pieros and saw that he was sitting there without any reaction. He sighed and said: "My name is Melo. Strictly speaking, I am from the west, but this time I am from the east. of."
Karud hesitated and said, "From the east..."
He suddenly realized that, "You are the JXi sent by humans~!"
Melo laughed immediately and said: "You got it right~!"
Karud couldn't help changing his color, and hurried back two steps, reaching out and pulling out the long knife from his waist.
Pieros stood up nervously and shouted: "Stop..."
Before his words fell, Melo immediately lifted his right hand and pulled out a strange iron block the size of a palm.
Immediately after hearing a crisp sound of ‘pop’, there was a fire from the iron block.
Immediately he saw Karud's body tremble violently, and something seemed to be lifted off the back of his head, and countless red and white liquids sprayed out from it and spilled all over the floor.
He fell to the ground with a plop like a stone tablet.
When Pieros saw this, he couldn't help taking a breath.
You know, Karud is also a high-ranking knight with extraordinary martial arts, but he didn't expect that Merlot just moved his fingers, and he was blown out.
Is this the power of the lightning spear that chasing souls in the sky?
It's really sharp~!
At this moment, several guards of Karud looked at them, immediately roared, pulled their weapons, and rushed towards Merlot.
But Melo didn't panic, squeezing the trigger in front of them.
After hearing a series of crackling sounds, all the guards fell to the ground like rocks.
At this moment, she saw Melo take a gentle blow at the barrel of the green smoke and put it on the table.
He smiled ~EbookFREE.me~ and said: "Perros, time waits for no one. You know that every human being is equipped with this weapon. In addition, they are more powerful than magic cannons. Powerful heavy artillery, continuous rain-splashing machine guns. A large exploded rocket that is as powerful as a curse, and countless war forts.
Even if you want to resist, you will never last longer.
Why let those Semitic men die in vain? "
Pieros was still sitting at the table, watching Carus's body silently.
At this moment, I listened to the muffled sound of ‘rumble’ above my head.
Immediately there was a great chaos among the people in the city, and some people cheered enthusiastically.
Pieros couldn't help but shook. He turned his head and looked out the window, and saw dozens of strangely shaped war fortresses lined up in neat rows, slowly coming from the horizon.
They are like dark clouds, wherever they go, they leave a huge shadow on the ground.
Melo pointed to the war fortresses outside, and said, "Perros, you can make your decision quickly. When those war fortresses are loaded with terrible heavy bombs. When they reach the wall, there is no signal on my side, they will Blast through the walls."
Pieros hesitated, and finally said: "I surrender~!"
Melo smiled and corrected: "It's an uprising, my friend, it's an uprising."
With that, he walked outside the door, then raised the flare gun in his hand and fired a shot into the sky. (To be continued)
