Chapter 1643 The Troops Are Approaching the City

It turned out that after I went to Airui City alone, the Dwarf King contacted the dwarf legion branch stationed in Dashai City and mobilized all the dwarf legion elites from more than ten surrounding towns. A total of 300,000 troops were pressed against Airui City. boundary.

At the same time, the old Duke received the order from the Orc King and mobilized all the elites from several surrounding towns. He also assembled an army of 300,000 people and marched toward the border of Airui City in a mighty manner.

The sudden appearance of the dwarf army has caused panic in dozens of border towns in Airui City. Then the orc army's arrival at the city was like the straw that broke the camel's back. Everyone in dozens of towns was frightened, and even several city lords opened their doors. surrender.

It's not that they don't dare to fight, it's that they can't fight.

If the opponent is just an orc, it doesn't matter what happened in the last battle. Anyway, we are both close to the city, only a few hundred miles apart. Occasionally friction is normal. Even if we are facing your army of hundreds of thousands, as long as I close the city gate tightly and retreat to defend. City, what can you do to me?

But the situation is different now. The dwarves have also joined in, which is troublesome.

The city lords of the various branch cities in Airey City did not receive any letters related to Fort Vicky, let alone the matter of enmity with Fort Vicky.

Since there was no enmity, why did Fort Vicky send hundreds of thousands of troops here?

Could it be that there is some treasure hidden in Airey City that Vicky Castle must win?

impossible!

As everyone knows, the two towns with the most treasures are Moonlight City and Wychburgh, and the latter has even more treasures than the former.

How could such a large treasure house covet those inconspicuous so-called rare treasures in Airui City?

What's more, the current two kings of Wychburg are working hard to govern and develop the country. They are not at all the kind of hedonists who are greedy for pleasure and like foreign things.

So, in panic, dozens of city lords wrote a letter at the same time and delivered it to Carter Horton as quickly as possible. The staff who handled the copy at the time saw dozens of consecutive letters with different contents but the same meaning. After writing the letter, he was immediately shocked. He dropped his pen and hurried to Little Red Fish's custom shop. Regardless of the occasion, he barged in and told Carter Horton the content of the letter. This was how he developed the fierce hatred that followed. , even roaring angry words.

Don't blame him for being impulsive, it was just that it happened too suddenly and too violently.

If troops arrive at the city without warning, no matter how outstanding the general or the most powerful monarch, they will be caught off guard by the unexpected situation and will inevitably be thrown into confusion.

"Thanks to you, the negotiation will be very smooth," I said sincerely.

The old Duke chuckled and said: "Well, it's good to know. After you go back, you have to have a good drink with me to repay my old bones!"

I dare not refuse.

The next night, the old Duke, President Aulë, and President Steelhammer and I drank until dawn. At the end of the day, the three of us were lying around, inconspicuously drunk on the floor. Only I was not drunk and still sober.

It's not that I drink too much, it's just that the murderous intention in my body is too overbearing. I destroy any toxins I see, even alcohol. So after the murderous intention filled my body, I never experienced the feeling of being drunk again. taste.

The three drunk people were helped into the room by the waiters to rest. I walked out of the Duke's Palace and went straight to the palace.

When the Beastman King saw me, he frowned slightly and said, "How much have you drunk?"

I said hehely: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have been drinking with the old Duke and the two dwarf presidents from yesterday afternoon until just now."

The Beastman King said in surprise: "You're not drunk?"

"I don't know why, but suddenly I can't get drunk after a hundred bowls, and I can't pour out a thousand cups." As he spoke, he sighed deeply and said, "Speaking of which, I prefer the hazy feeling of drunkenness, but it's a pity that I can never taste it again. .”

"You kid." The Beastman King shook his head and said with a smile, "Forget it, since you're not drunk, let's talk about how the negotiation went yesterday?"

"Thanks to you, it went very smoothly."

Next, I described a series of Carter Horton's performances.

The Beastman King was surprised and said: "This old guy can even lose his temper. It seems that his persistence in authority far exceeds my imagination."

I sighed: "He is too obsessed with controlling and cultivating the strength of adventurers. He is even willing to sacrifice the poor to serve as stepping stones and paving stones for the rise of Airui City. However, as everyone knows, the power of the poor is also extremely terrifying."

"I agree with you on this point," the orc king said: "The people are like water, and the king is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?" The Beastman King asked in confusion: "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"No, you misunderstood." I waved my hands repeatedly and said, "I'm just a little surprised."

The Orc King smiled and said: "Why, don't you think that a rough guy like me only knows how to fight and kill monsters, and doesn't understand worldly philosophy?"

"That's not the case, it's just that I heard someone say something like this a long time ago."

"Oh? There is actually someone who has the same thoughts as me?" The Beastman King was very interested and said: "Xiao Yi, does he know where this person lives now? Can he be recommended?"

"Your Majesty appoints talents and appreciates talented people. It is really a great blessing for Dasai City. But the man I met was born to be a wanderer, and he likes to travel around. Even I have only met him once. After toasting and inviting us to chat, it only took an hour before he said goodbye and left, never to be heard from again."

After hearing this, the Beastman King sighed deeply and said: "There are many capable people but there are many hermits. Even if there are some who are willing to go out to help the world and assist the government, they are only one or two out of ten. It is really a loss to the country."

"I don't agree with what you said. It is a blessing for the country to have capable people who come out of the mountain and dedicate their strength to the country. As for those who don't come out of the mountain, they are just a speck of dust or a fallen leaf in the vast history. There are not many like him. Nothing less."

The Beastman King laughed loudly and said: "Your idea is very interesting. You are right. No matter how powerful and talented those talented strangers are, they cannot reach the ears of the monarch and cannot save the common people. What is the difference between having and not having such a person who has no sense of existence?"

After that, there was another burst of laughter, and the laughter was full of desolation.

The Beastman King is open-minded by nature and can look past many things and tolerate many injustices. However, he still feels disappointed when talented people cannot be used and powerful people do not come out.

The Xianyun Yehe people I mentioned just now were just made up to deal with him, but they unexpectedly aroused his despair. It is really a sin.

With a roll of my eyes, I changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, in four days, I will lead the guild and others to the public area to start a deadly battle with the Knights of the Round Table. I also ask your Majesty to send soldiers to help plunder the formation."

"It's natural," the orc king said, "Even if you don't say it, I will do it. That old guy Carter Horton is cunning and ruthless. He may not be able to hide an ambush. When the two guilds are fighting, they will suddenly attack him." Quickly kill this unstable factor like you."
