Chapter 551 Reinforcements

No matter which world it is, official violent organizations such as the police and the army always arrive late. This is not simply a plot requirement, but it takes a lot of time from receiving intelligence and calling the police to understanding the situation and mobilizing forces.

A sound organization, excellent training, and leading equipment can shorten this emergency response time, but it is impossible to completely eliminate it. It can be said that the time to arrive at the scene also directly reflects the overall strength of the organization.

For the residents of Xingmu City, it is at least a good thing that the reinforcements from the Kingdom who have been waiting for many days finally arrive. anger.

After all, at this time, a war has been over for half a month, and the reinforcements are long overdue. The reinforcements have still fought a battle on the road, and the battle damage is still over 50%, and the reinforcements are still exhausted when they arrive. And injuries, the ranks are full of stretchers and wounded soldiers, not so much reinforcements as disaster victims waiting for rescue, it is really unacceptable.

"Get out, are you here to rescue or kill each other?"

"...The Marquis of Stanley is much stronger than you. We were protected by "Bloodspear" Saliman, and what did your lord do! He colluded with the undead and murdered the prince of the royal family! Let everyone fall into a trap." in danger."

The unconventional way of welcoming the residents of Starwood City made the leader, Earl De Baron, furious, and even privately considered hanging a few mercenaries and civilians who uttered wild words.

"Those filthy untouchables, if it weren't for helping you, we wouldn't have been ambushed by those traitors, and you still dare to yell at me."

The case of the murder of the little prince is still ahead. It is also a big trouble if it is not handled well. De Baron considered whether to use the reason of hunting down the murderer to vent. Anyway, according to the usual practice, there will be many more funerals in the past when the royal family is murdered.

Unfortunately, this time it won't work...

On the city wall, there are not only human defenders, but the little elves patrolling back and forth have taken over everything. The huge magic flower and ancient war tree occupy the entire extension of the city wall, and the wood spirits have already controlled the city.

If it's just the wood spirits on the periphery, it's nothing, the fleet of warships in the sky puts invisible pressure on people. If there is any luck, the ancient tree covering the sky in the middle of the town has already explained everything.

"The Tongtian Tree in the Forest of Dreams? What are they going to do..."

Tongtian wood is the extension of the mother tree of the wood spirit family. Only when the towns belonging to the wood spirits are built, such precious trees will be planted. Through this, the wood spirits can get the support of the forest of dreams, regenerate wood spirits, and many other things. A magical effect unknown to foreigners.

And as the reputation of the wood spirit clan became more and more famous, the Tongtian tree, which had achieved great results in the battle against the undead, was not only regarded as a powerful weapon of war, but also the area where the Tongtian tree was located. It was directly regarded as the sphere of influence of the wood spirit.

The wood spirits are not too far away from the Principality of Sara, and De Baron certainly knows what the giant tree that covers the sky represents.

It was still a dilapidated small town in front of me. This is already an out-and-out fortress city, and it is also a fortress established by other countries and tribes.

"Invasion? This is a naked military invasion!"

If he is a pure soldier, he should draw his sword to defend his family and country now, but he who can gain the trust of the royal family to handle such a big matter is not so much a soldier as a statesman.

"What are they for? Is the rumor about the treasure true?"

But even with many thoughts and guesses, he can't do anything. At most, he can only report his conjectures to the Grand Duke, but the royal family behind him... probably can't do anything.

This is the tragedy of a small country, especially a small country in a civil war or a world war. When the original order is shattered by the war, the rule of the weak is so obvious and cruel.

If the wood spirit clan really wants to bite down a piece of territory here, what can they do other than condemn a few words when they are caught in the civil war. Could it be that the royal family faction army that is in the civil war is fighting against the wood spirit clan that is powerful enough to rival the undead emperor.

"...you don't worry too much, we have no interest in such a dilapidated city, and our peace-loving people will not take the initiative to initiate aggression. In fact, we have another reason for establishing an outpost here..."

The sudden voice interrupted De Baron's thoughts, but this calming psychological induction did not reassure him, but he was terrified because he was seen through.

What appeared in front of him was a black-haired dwarf wood elf, whose young figure was very similar to a young elf. De Baron had seen such a young elf slave at a banquet held by a big noble in another country, so he could buy it. The sky-high price of this dilapidated small town.

But the wood spirit in front of him looked extremely weak, and he seemed to be able to subdue it easily, but he didn't dare to do any dark deeds. After all, the average combat power of the wood spirit clan was far higher than that of humans and ordinary elves. Girl, she will definitely not be inferior to a silver rank warrior.

And the gentle smile of the wood spirit suddenly became sinister, and the mixed contempt and angry killing intent were swept away,

"Could it be that you are also a despicable slave holder? Or, what are you planning to do to me?"

For some reason, the wood spirit in front of him saw through the dark thoughts in his heart, De Baron was really frightened, and quickly denied it.

"No, no, thank you for your support, I'm just thinking about how to report to the Grand Duke..."

In the midst of the chaos, the black-haired wood spirit also completed his main task, and explained his own behavior of building the fortress, saying that the wood spirit clan did not intend to invade, but the situation was somewhat special.

"A gate leading to the lower plane appeared in the ruins. A large number of demons poured out. The gate of the plane is out of control...Damn it, it doesn't mean that this place will be captured by demons sooner or later."

This is not good news. De Baron already regretted taking the initiative to ask for military service. If the demon army suddenly appeared in front of him, what would his half-crippled legion be able to do.

He is already considering whether to find a reason to run away, but he has suffered a heavy loss without an inch of merit. Going back in despair is probably the same as dying in battle here. Maybe he will pay honor points for dying in battle, "Noble points ".

But the wood spirit named Mu En shook his head, and did not make the most difficult but natural request for De Baron—asking his legion to station here. Protect your own people.

"Out of control means that both the enemy and us have lost control of the plane gate in this area. Now the gate leading to the lower plane has become a random legendary gate. Every once in a while, it is possible to throw a resident of the lower plane up. , but it is impossible for a large army to invade, and in order to prevent these demons from harming the residents of Xingmu City, and to block the possibility of demons entering other areas, we built this fortress."

This reason is good enough. Hearing that the demon army will not come, De Baron calmed down a little. But I feel that there are a lot of tricks in it, but with his ability, he can't tell the truth from the fake... With the strength of the Principality of Sara, even if he knows it is fake, what can he do.

Mu En paused for a moment before continuing.

"It happened so suddenly, we haven't had time to inform your royal family, please apologize to the Grand Duke on our behalf."

The wording in international diplomacy is very particular. "Notification" and "expression of apology" seem to be very polite, but in fact it is enough to inform you. I don't care what you think.

"Yes, I took your place. Sorry... what? Do you want me to take it back? Are you awake from the dream? Saying 'sorry' is enough to respect you."

Building a fortress in another country, he was so exaggerated and domineering, he was already pinching the other party's neck and asking "Are you convinced", but when he heard this domineering "apology", De Baron was secretly relieved, this is what he is used to If the wood spirit in front of him is really careful to explain the reasoning method of a big country, he will have to carefully evaluate the true meaning behind it.

Of course, in this relaxation, there should be a mentality of "I can't take care of this big thing, let the royal family have a headache", it should be indispensable, maybe there is also "In such a big thing, no one will hold me accountable" Defeated, really lucky" fluke mentality.

As for the rumored treasures and ruins? You can't give up, your own spies and thieves will be sent out, but you don't need to think about the frontal conflict until you get further information and instructions from the top.

On another level, his own safety can be regarded as guaranteed, just for the sake of the wood spirit's face, as long as he is near this fortress, it is impossible for the Marquis' rebels to continue chasing and killing him.

He didn't know that the wood spirit in front of him couldn't read minds, but there was someone on the city wall over there who could read minds. His little thoughts had already been fully revealed.

"Tsk tsk tsk, although it is basically in line with expectations, but sending such a person to act as a battlefield commander, if he hadn't met us, it would be like sending soldiers to the undead."

I am a little helpless, although it is a good thing for us to send such a guy officially, but if we really expect such an army to fight against alien invaders like Heng, it is better to expect Ashe to be resurrected suddenly.

"Not necessarily. Although that guy is thinking about himself the whole time, he is also from a formal military academy, and he still has a level of war command. As for the character of selfishness, timidity, and fear of responsibility... aren't all nobles like this?"

Amyra made no secret of her contempt for the aristocratic class, and seemed to have forgotten that she was also born in the royal family, or, further, she had long since ceased to regard herself as a human being.

In front of Roland, she didn't need to hide her ability to read minds, but just explained her thoughts as usual, and she couldn't even remember when she was seen through.

Originally, she had already made psychological preparations to be distanced. After all, no matter how good the relationship with the former insiders was, they either ran away and never saw each other again, or they were worried that the secrets in their hearts would be leaked out, so they simply tried to kill people to silence them. Roland's answer , but it made her remember fresh, refreshed the lower limit of comprehension ability, and made her wonder if Roland's head was normal.

"It's such a convenient ability. Then when I communicate with you, I can speak, and I don't have to worry about unclear explanations. It saves time and energy."

Lies are meaningless to Amyla. The truth that Roland told at that time shocked Amyla even more than the seamless lie. He was really not worried at all about being mind-read, or even regarded as a communication channel.

It should be said that it is better to be open-minded than to be short-sighted. He is obviously full of bad things and is obviously not a good person, but Roland is not worried about being seen through by others. This kind of "trust" surprised Emily secretly, and also made the relationship between her and Roland Chatting has become her favorite entertainment.

"This feeling of being able to be trusted and say what you want, probably, can only be when you are with him..."

But this time, Roland was still full of vicious plans about how to dig holes, but Amyra became an accomplice without hesitation.

"When will our real reinforcements arrive?"

"Hurry up, counting the distance, if he doesn't get lost, he should arrive within three days..."

"So, are we ready?"

"No, his footsteps are very fast, but he is lucky if he can come within ten days, and the normal speed is about two months. It still requires him to insist on leading the way too much, listen to advice..."

"I can find it within two months. We are separated by half a continent, so it's not too far-fetched...Pfft, I get it."

Emira covered her mouth and smiled lightly. She had already seen the epic journey across the continent from Roland's instant memory. From this perspective, it was really not easy for Captain Luo Luo back then.

"Well, the first month made him give up and admit the reality that he couldn't find his way, and the second month made him fly back even if he went to the end of the world..."

My face was full of pain. This was a lesson made of blood and tears. Road idiots are not scary, and road idiots who don’t look at maps and don’t ask people are not scary. Only those who firmly believe that they are the world’s best wayfinding masters are really helpless. (to be continued..)
