Chapter 282 Blackmail

Yan Xing knew the reason why Earl Theodore suddenly fell ill.

The old count's biggest hobby was to hold banquets and brag to the guests about his great achievements in the past wars.

The enemy he fought was naturally the orcs.

Marquis Anderson is the son-in-law of the old earl. In order to support him in obtaining the Windy Heights, the old earl can be said to have pressured the entire family.

Now that it is known that Marquis Anderson has colluded with the orcs for a long time, this blow to Count Theodore is more serious than a big defeat.

But then I thought about it again.

This outcome is most beneficial to Marquis Anderson.

By breaking the alliance between the Snow Elves and the Principality of Silvermane, the orcs had to give up attacking Storm City, and he could free up his hands to stabilize the military power of the Wind Highland Legion.

Regardless of whether the orcs can capture the elves' Frostleaf City, they don't have the strength to attack Storm City.

Winter is coming soon, and the windy highlands will usher in a few months of calm.

It is impossible for the Silvermane Principality to fall out with Marquis Anderson for the strategic location of Galewind Highlands.

There are only two players left on the Stormy Highlands, and the orcs taking Frostleaf City are equivalent to carrying a heavy burden.

Marquis Anderson is more comfortable balancing on the windy heights.

"Brilliant, really brilliant!" After figuring out the meaning of this series of actions, Yan Xing couldn't help but exclaimed: "Marquis Anderson really killed three birds with one stone this time, turning defeat into victory, and firmly grasped the initiative in Gale Highlands. .

We feel at ease in New Tower City. "

After knowing that Yan Xing had figured out what was going on, Count Theodore couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I don't know what path Anderson will take us on... He has already crossed the bottom line of being a human noble.

I can’t see what the future holds for the Theodore family, and the honor may be far away from me. "

Yan Xing patted the old earl's hand and said comfortingly: "Only when a person is alive can he have a future. Marquis Anderson must have a bottom line when doing things with the help of a short spear.

Tutor, your illness is caused by overwork these days, it’s nothing serious.

I will ask my people to bring you some potions and food. You can recover quickly if you eat them on time.

The most important thing now is to bring Miss Siebel back as soon as possible. "

Count Theodore didn't know when Yan Xing would see a doctor, but after hearing his last words, he realized: "I was confused! Atli, send someone to pick up Sibel immediately.

Even if you rob, you must rob people. "

Marquis Anderson did not tell Count Theodore about his connection with the orcs because he knew his old father-in-law very well.

Count Theodore also knew Anderson equally well.

I also know my daughter.

In order to prevent any trouble, it is better to take Sibel back as soon as possible and keep him by his side.

Storm City, let’s wait until the storm dissipates first.

Yan Xing bid farewell to the old count and left the city lord's mansion.

Count Theodore's health is not as optimistic as Yan Xing said. The man in his seventies has been working tirelessly and even went to war himself.

It adds a huge burden to the already bad organs.

What the old count needs most now is careful nursing.

Yan Xing plans to buy some medicines for the old count from the real world for his elderly diseases. In the future situation, New Tower City will not be able to survive without the old count.

Returning to his embassy, ​​Yan Xing saw Ligeia who was concentrating on her work.

The sun shines in through the window and shines on her face, and the charm of her profile is heart-warming.

Yan Xing sat in his seat.

"Ligeia..."

Ligeia raised her head and looked at Yan Xing and said, "You are back... The Lord of the City is looking for you. Is there something urgent?"

"It's nothing important. We are just discussing how to quickly restore order in the city." Yan Xing did not tell Ligeia about the old count's illness. After thinking about it for a while, he asked instead: "Can Prince Elledo come to Frostleaf City now?" ?"

Ligeia originally wanted to inquire about the situation in the City Lord's Mansion.

But after hearing Yan Xing's inquiry, her face instantly turned pale.

Ligeia hesitated and said: "I don't know what you are talking about? Who is Prince Elledo?"

The change in the situation made Yan Xing temporarily decide to have a showdown with Ligeia.

"Ligeia, it has been a great pleasure for me to spend these days with you, although you have other motives for approaching me.

I didn't want to expose you so quickly, but the question I asked is very important.

Can Prince Elledo go to Frostleaf City now? "

Ligeia's whole body was tense now, ready to release magic to fight at any time.

She didn't know when her identity was revealed by Yan Xing, but since he asked Prince Elledo, it meant that he knew about the elf emissary coming to meet with Mrs. Carol.

How much does he know about the content of the interview?

"Please send me back to the Rose Garden..."

Regarding Ligeia’s request, Yan Xing said: “I can ask Mrs. Carol, but she will definitely ask me something that I can’t say yet.

I need to first determine where Prince Elledo is now, and then decide what to say to Mrs. Carol?

It's up to you to decide whether to say it or not, but you can't leave here without answering. "

Ligeia looked at Yan Xing, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "Prince Elledor is definitely not in Frostleaf City now. He should be in the battle zone between the elves and the Stormy Highland Legion at the moment, and he will restrain the main elves to retreat and repair.

Knight Yanxing, you should know that the principality has reached an alliance with the snow elves.

The Duchy will regain control of the Windstorm Legion.

Lady Carol admires you very much and is willing to promote a harmonious and mutually beneficial relationship between the duchy and Thunder Swamp. "

Prince Elledo is not in Frostleaf City. Frostleaf City didn't know the news about the enemy's change, so it was very likely that it would be attacked by the orcs and fall.

Then the main elven force became a lone army that was cut off from the mainland.

Even if the orcs and humans don't attack them.

When winter comes, a heavy snowfall can completely destroy the main elves who have no winter supplies.

And the only one who can save the elves is...

Mrs. Carol.

A extortion plan quickly took shape in Yan Xing's mind.

Yan Xing took a cloak from the coat rack and threw it to Ligeia, and said, "Let's go, take me to see Mrs. Carol."

Ligeia didn't know what Yan Xing meant, but seeing that he looked very happy, she probably didn't want to ask Mrs. Carol for the crime.

With a question mark on her face, Ligeia followed Yan Xing out, got on her mount and went straight to the Rose Garden.

The damage suffered by the Rose Garden in the riot was not great, especially after the werewolves moved in, and the rebels did not launch any decent attack.

At this time, the servants of the Rose Garden were cleaning up the remnants of the battle, while Mrs. Carol was drinking tea in a pavilion in the garden.

And waiting for news from Storm City.

Storm City is on lockdown, and I heard it's very chaotic inside.

It should be Earl Feo, the newly appointed commander of the Stormy Highland Legion, who is seizing control of Storm City.

Angelik Castle is still under attack by the orcs. It is estimated that Marquis Anderson, who is busy defending the city, does not know what is happening in Storm City.

Prince Elledor should have taken over the command of the elven army, and they will march towards the orc mountain city with a little repair.

The orcs in Alpine City don't know that their elven allies have turned against them, and they will definitely be defeated by the elves in one fell swoop.

At that time, even if the orcs captured Anjik Castle, they would still have to face the fortified city of Storm City.

With enemies on both sides, the orc army has nowhere to go.

When winter comes, a heavy snowfall can wipe out the orc army without winter supplies.

Ally with the Snow Elves; assist the Principality in controlling the Stormy Highlands; severely damage the orc military power.

For such a great contribution, I wonder what reward the Duke will give me?

I'm one step closer to revenge.

Mrs. Carol picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She looked at the blooming chrysanthemums in the garden with a smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with hatred.

When she saw Ligeia walking over with Yan Xing, Carol immediately put down her teacup, and her expression returned to its previous noble state.

"Knight Yanxing, I want to thank you for your support of Rose Garden." Mrs. Carol stretched out her hand. After Yanxing kissed the back of her hand, she said with a smile: "I didn't know I ordered from you. Have the quilts arrived... If it hadn't been for this riot, you should have delivered the goods.

Sit down and talk. "

Yan Xing and Ligeia sat down.

Carol poured tea for the two of them, and also noticed that Ligeia looked unnatural.

Yan Xing said: "I don't dare to have any delay in what you want. Two hundred thousand sets of quilts are in my warehouse. I will deliver them as soon as I see the money."

Also provide door-to-door delivery.

I just don’t know whether these quilts are being sent south or north? "

Mrs. Carol was stunned and took another look at Ligeia's expression.

He smiled and said: "It seems you know. At this time, I don't need to hide it anymore.

These two hundred thousand quilts were indeed given to the snow elves.

I have signed an alliance with the snow elves on behalf of the Principality of Silvermane, and now the elven army should be on its way to attack the mountain city.

Earl Feo also blocked the Storm City and seized the military power of the Stormy Highlands.

The war is over.

I am the final winner.

You should reconsider your relationship with Silvermane and Count Theodore. "

Yan Xing was glad that he asked Ligeia first. Just relying on Mrs. Carol's words that were 50% true and 50% false would really make him misjudge.

Prince Elledor has already led the elven army to attack the orc mountain city, but Ligeia said that the elven army will retreat and then reorganize, and will march to the mountain city as soon as tonight.

If the elven army really moves westward, away from the Thunder Swamp and near the Alpine City, it will be difficult to save them.

There's no point in taking this job if you know you can't save him.

What Yan Xing wants to talk about is something else.

"The war is indeed over." Yan Xing picked up the tea cup and drank it slowly, then put it down slowly: "But the information I got is... Marquis Anderson killed Earl Feo for colluding with the orcs."

"What? This... this is impossible!" Mrs. Carol stood up in shock: "The orcs are besieging Fort Angelick, and there is no way Anderson can return to Storm City at this time.

You lie to me again! "

Yan Xing poured tea for himself with a teapot and said: "I got the news from Earl Theodore. The people he sent to Storm City met Marquis Anderson. I don't know if your people were seen in Storm City. To Count Feo.”

Mrs. Carol sank back into her chair.

Storm City is on lockdown, and the information inside cannot be transmitted at all.

But since Earl Theodore can send people in, it means that Storm City is under Anderson's control.

He, why is he in Storm City?

He is in Storm City, how can Fort Anjik block the orcs' attack!

unless……

unless……

Mrs. Carol thought of the most terrifying possibility.

"Anderson colluded with the orcs..."

Yan Xing immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. However, if the main elves are really on their way to Gaoshan City, they probably won't be able to get them back.

There is a fortified city in front of them, and if the way back is blocked, they will not be able to be saved even if they want to.

It's just a pity that my two hundred thousand sets of quilts will probably end up in my hands. "

Mrs. Carol originally thought the orcs were simply retreating, but Yan Xing told her a more serious possibility.

If, if the orcs attack Frostleaf City.

Then the game of chess on the windy highlands was completely lost.

When he returns to the capital, what fate awaits him.

Mrs. Carol thought of the details in Yanxing's words and asked: "You say, you say... can the elves' army be saved?"

Yan Xing continued to drink tea slowly, and Mrs. Carol waited patiently no matter how anxious she was.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yan Xingcai said: "If the elf army has marched towards Gaoshan City, there will be no way to save it.

If the elven army is still near the front line, head east to be protected by the Thunder Swamp. "

The situation was urgent, and Mrs. Carol told Yan Xing the truth.

"I just panicked. The elven army probably hasn't marched west yet. If the orcs really occupy Frostleaf City, can Thunder Swamp really protect this lone elven army?"

"Yes, why not?" Yan Xing waited for Carol's words and said: "Thunder Swamp has a friendly attitude towards any race and is willing to make friends with anyone.

If the elves are willing to enter the swamp as guests, I will definitely protect their safety and entertain them well.

But... you also know that the products in the swamp are barren, and raising so many elves is a very large expense.

Moreover, we also need to open up a place suitable for the elves to live, and clear and drive away poisonous flies and monsters in the swamp.

Also appease the disturbed werewolves and swamp people.

well……"

Yan Xing let out a long sigh, looking like he had more than enough ambition but not enough energy.

"As long as Thunder Swamp is willing to accept this elf army and protect their safety in the swamp, Silvermane Principality is willing to pay all expenses."

Seeing Yan Xing's appearance, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net Carol knew that there was no problem, it was just a matter of money.

For the Principality of Silvermane, with such a large-scale elf army in the Windy Highlands, there is a possibility of a comeback.

They are a constant threat to the orcs and Marquis Anderson.

You can work from it yourself.

As for the cost of raising this elf army.

Didn’t Silvermane Principality promise to give the snow elves a winter allowance every year? The snow elves certainly don't want to see all of this elven army die on the windy heights.

Also thinking about recapturing Frostleaf City.

Then convince the snow elves to spend the winter expenses on this army of elves.

Hearing Mrs. Carol giving money so straightforwardly, Yan Xing smiled and said: "That's no problem. The elf can live in the swamp as long as he wants."
