Chapter 54 53 Siege

Chapter 54 53. Siege

After some instructions, Chacha officially took the order and left.

This time, he will lead the army on behalf of the Goblin King and wage war against humans.

Looking at Chacha's leaving figure, the Goblin King sat on the throne piled with various metal coins, and the brilliance in his eyes gradually disappeared.

As the successor he chose, Chacha still could not meet his own standards, but he was already the best mage.

Chacha felt that flooding might be just a misunderstanding, not the intention of the king of the human kingdom.

However, the Goblin King scolded him loudly and taught him that he could not think about the problem from the perspective of a mage, and he could not have a fluke mentality towards humans.

Under the premise that it is not certain whether the other party knows his physical condition, coincidences should also be regarded as premeditated.

And flooding is not only a means, but also an attitude.

This behavior is directly related to whether the three border lords of the Kingdom of Yas have given up their so-called "morality".

Although the Goblin King has always felt that humans do not have the things they say.

If breaching the dam really becomes a feasible solution that humans have put on the agenda, and they think that offending the alien races living on the entire Luotan Plain is worth it...

Since humans are willing to pay such a high price to try, the Goblin King can only think that they intend to destroy the underground palace in one fell swoop.

Although the drainage system of the underground palace has been modified, and although several powerful magicians have emerged among the goblins, they are all stronger than he was at this age.

Although he is very confident that this underground palace he created is enough to make human conspiracies and tricks come to nothing, so that they will be buried here and become the food of the goblins...

But he is the king.

The king must be responsible for his people, and being willing to believe in the illusory possibility is irresponsible.

There is no way to judge this matter, and there is no effective information channel to prove it. The most appropriate solution is to take the initiative.

It is better to take action first than to wait for others to deal with you.

The trade of exchanging one generation of goblins for one generation of human border garrisons is very cost-effective. After all, due to the crazy surge of troops in recent years, the food gap has become larger and larger.

It must be fought, and it must be fought with great momentum.

The fight made the humans have no time to judge whether their end is coming.

The fight made both sides need to calm down and return to the previous back-and-forth duel.

As time goes by, the strength that has declined after his death will be compensated by the rise of the young goblin in the underground palace.

Lu Yu in Black Shield City did not leave the town for two days to seek safety.

In Black Shield City, except for the increase in the alert level and the increase in patrolling knights, everything is normal.

After waking up from a coma, Maroni found that two fingers on his right hand were cut off and was furious. He wanted to kill the healer in charge of treatment with a knife.

The nobles who suffered heavy casualties did not even eat the set meal prepared by Yas III, and their courage was completely broken.

No matter how the family confidants persuaded the recovered nobles, they were unwilling to continue to participate in this competition.

This made the knights and adventurers in Black Shield City particularly contemptuous. How many days have they been in Black Shield City?

In the first few days of killing goblins, everyone wanted to look up to the sky and look down on others. When they entered the tavern, they boasted about their bravery and said that the adventurers and knights in the frontline cities such as Black Shield City were worthless. If they refuted a few words, they would be ridiculed as inferiors.

If the Black Shield Knights had not taken a few away and conveyed Duke Guy's order, these nobles might have held a trial on the spot and punished a few inferiors who were not convinced.

Seeing these nobles like frost-bitten eggplants, the knights and adventurers felt comfortable. In the past two days, the streets and alleys of Black Shield City were full of various stories mocking the nobles.

What's more, someone heard the reason for the competition and actually came to Lu Yu with the head of the goblin, saying that he would give it to him.

Lu Yu didn't want it, but he threw it directly at his door.

Such a violent way of giving gifts, and the gifts were so visually impactful, Lu Yu could only accept it reluctantly.

Seeing that the outside of the city was calm, the patrol of the Black Shield Knights became routine, and covered the underground palace he had explored before, Lu Yu decided not to wait any longer.

Most of the nobles were killed, and those who did not give up were injured, so they needed to re-draw manpower from the families in the royal city.

This round trip was enough for Lu Yu to reach the top.

After checking the supplies, Lu Yu, who was seeking safety, chose to bring enough dry food for three days to prevent accidents.

And in order to prevent the nobles from secretly tripping him up, Lu Yu chose to travel late at night and avoid sight.

However, just as Lu Yu entered the underground palace again, on the other side of the vast Luotan Plain, a fast horse carrying a knight whose back was shot into a porcupine galloped into Luotan City.

"Enemy attack!"

With just this shout, the diligent knight rolled off the horse and died.

As one of the three major cities in the eastern border of Yas, Luotan City also has the most elite knights and magicians in the Kingdom of Yas.

The magician on duty and the leader of the Knights looked at each other in bewilderment.

The sentinels of the city of Lotan were densely spread on the east side of the Lotan Plain, exchanging information with the other two cities.

The range of this cavalryman's scouting was not far, only around the city of Lotan. He risked his life to come back to report the news. Could it be that all the sentinels outside...

The two people on duty shuddered violently, and cold sweat oozed from their foreheads.

The leader of the Knights ordered a messenger to inform the lord who had just fallen asleep, and shouted to the cavalry guards below to be alert and quickly close the city gate.

The magician condensed a ball of light in his hand and aimed it at the sky outside Lotan City and released it.

Under the illumination of light magic, the outline hidden in the darkness gradually becomes clear.

The hands of the well-informed magician were shaking.

The area within sight was filled with goblins.

They were like rising tides, rushing toward Lotan City from afar.

The leader of the Knights shook his head in disbelief and subconsciously took a step back.

"Why, after learning about the unusual movement from Black Shield City, we sent out several times the number of sentries we usually do, all over the east side of the Lotan Plain... As for them, why did only one knight who was on guard near Lotan City come back to warn? !”

The young magician recovered from his panic. This was a question that no longer needed to be asked.

The goblins have already reached the sight of Lotan City, which proves that every one of those sentries is dead.

Moreover, the purpose of these Goblins was not just to remove the sentries. They were able to approach Lotan City silently, thanks to the cooperation of the Goblin Priest and the Goblin Mage in the team.

If it weren't for the light magic he released that broke the stealth magic covering their forwards, these cunning guys would even be able to break out under their noses!

The warning bell sounded throughout the entire city of Lotan, and people who got up cursed and grabbed the objects on the bed and wanted to go out and curse in the street. However, after a while, their scalps became numb.

Along with the sound of the bell, there was an explosion.

The cavalry carrying the message galloped past the main road in the city, shouting loudly: "The Goblins are attacking the city. Adventurers in the city come quickly to meet the enemy!"

Soon, the news that Rotan City was attacked by goblins was passed to Black Shield City.

"Where are the number of goblins?" Duke Guy asked the messenger.

"I don't know. I just know that they are attacking the city of Rotan one after another. Now the east gate of the city is being stormed. The city wall is being bombarded by the explosive magic of the Goblin mage. I don't know how long it can last!"

The messenger knelt down on one knee and begged sadly: "Twenty-seven messengers broke out, and I was the only one left. All the magic messages were interfered by the goblin mage's magic power. Now Rotan City is in danger, Duke, please hurry up. Rescue!”

Duke Guy thought for a moment, waved his hand, and signaled the Black Shield Knights to join him in the battle. The deputy captain of the Knights temporarily acted as the defense of Black Shield City.

When everyone around was busy preparing for the rescue operation, the deputy commander came to Duke Guy and knelt down on one knee: "I beg the Duke not to attack!"

"The Goblin army has not fought with the Kingdom on the ground for a long time. It only used the underground palace to harass the Kingdom, making it impossible for us to successfully recover the Logan Plain."

"In the past ten years or so, the Goblins have only launched sieges and swept the Luotan Plain during the winter season when food was scarce. I have reason to believe that the Goblins sending troops this time is most likely related to the lack of food."

"At this time, the adventurers in the city should be mobilized, together with the Black Shield Knights, to launch a surprise attack on the underground palace. Large-scale troop mobilization, the defense force in the underground palace is weak, we can create a big noise in the underground palace, and the Goblins in Lotan City will naturally Will return to rescue!”

"If the Duke personally rescues Rotan City, his troops will be like a sea of ​​stones. It may not be effective. He may also be ambushed by cunning goblins. The risk is too great!"

Duke Guy looked at the loyal deputy commander he had promoted with one hand and sighed.

He personally supported the deputy commander and said with a smile: "Randy, you are very proficient in military affairs and your judgment is also very correct."

"But you don't understand politics."

Deputy Captain Randy's eyes trembled.

"The three major lords of the East are among the few direct descendants of His Majesty who can be entrusted with safety. We and our families swear to be loyal to Your Majesty to the death, just for the betterment of this country."

"The long-term confrontation with the goblins has proven that whether the Eastern Territory is defensive or offensive, on this vast plain, at least three cities need to take care of each other to be able to move forward slowly."

"If a city falls and a lord dies in battle..."

"The former will make the nobles in the royal city reach out to the East and question His Majesty's employment; the latter...the power vacuum left by the dead lord, his heirs may not be able to take over completely. Not everyone's loyalty can be swept away by the stars. Praise, more people just want to be the black mist that dims the stars."

"If the transfer of power in the Eastern Territory is turbulent at this time, all of His Majesty's plans will go bankrupt."

Guy patted Randy on the shoulder and said seriously: "I have to go. No city can be lost, and no lord can die."

"Although this is the best chance to destroy the Goblin Underground Palace...but unfortunately, I can't bet on it. If you want to blame it, blame those useless nobles for holding us back."

"Can't we do anything?" Randy clenched his fists, wishing to tear the nobles who were dragging him down into pieces and swallow them.

"There is one more thing that can be done."

Randy listened.

"Issue a commission to allow adventurers to enter the Goblin Underground Palace to carry out destruction. How far we can go depends on whether the stars in the night sky protect us."
