Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Crusade
Seven years later, the four men who had sworn revenge on the country in the tavern of Port Portsmo, and who had aimed to capture Port Maranster, gathered again. This time is different from the past, the four people who were down at the beginning have really made this step now, the country of Yaki is already crumbling, and the fate of Port Maranster is finally in the hands of these four people. The hardships and obstacles experienced during this period are self-evident, and the four people who reunited talked about wine, but they all burst into tears.
"Young master, we finally did it." Mueller wiped the tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
"I finally lived up to the trust of the young master, and my father must be very pleased." Elda raised her glass again.
"Congratulations, Boss."
Li Tianhao raised his head, swallowed back the tears in his eyes, and said, "It's too early to congratulate, Maranster hasn't taken it off yet, and the matter is not over yet." When everything is settled, let's celebrate! ”
Elda nodded deeply and said, "What the young master said is extremely true. It's just that there is a doubt below. Is your revenge targeting Port Maranster, or should you target Corbius and Sam? ”
Li Tianhao understood that Elda was actually interceding for the people in the city when he said this, so he said, "Both." Maranster must be taken, and the culprit must not be spared. If the main culprit and the accomplice can be caught, then I have no intention of harming the innocent. But we haven't been able to see the two enemies in person, so I can't promise to spare everyone in this city for the time being. ”
"It's not difficult, now that they're in a desperate situation, we can take the opportunity to negotiate and let them show up." Alam Dao.
"Sam I visited with my old master, and I will never forget his appearance. But Corbius can't do it, and he can't be sure if it's his real person. Mueller voiced his concerns.
"That's fine." Elda smiled: "Actually, I've been quite idle for the past few years, so I've done some work in secret. I have three spies here who once disguised themselves as caravans to present treasures to Corbius, and because the gifts were very valuable, Corbius personally met with these three people. I brought them with me, so that the young master could let them distinguish the authenticity. ”
"You're really getting more and more cunning, it turns out that you have already thought of countermeasures." Mueller said with a heavy slap on Elda's shoulder.
"Call it foresight." Elda laughed.
Li Tianhao laughed: "Very good, very good, tomorrow we will find a way to implement our plan." ”
In the early morning of the next day, Li Tianhao ordered his men and horses to come to the city of Maranster and announced loudly to the city: "I am Li Tianhao, Prince of Palci!" You are completely surrounded. Now there is no other way but to be captured! However, there are still many innocent people in the city, and I can't bear to let you burn the jade of this city, so I will give you another chance, and let your governor come out to negotiate with the prince about the conditions for the surrender of the city! If your governor doesn't agree, then you'll have to resign yourself to your fate! ”
Li Tianhao's words had already been reported to Sam, and Sam hurriedly came to the head of the city and shouted down: "Down there is Sam, the general of this city!" Now the affairs of the city are represented by the following! His Royal Highness the Prince has any requests, just mention it with your subordinates! ”
Li Tianhao turned his head sideways to look at Mueller, who nodded at him to indicate that this was indeed Sam. Only then did Li Tianhao turn his head and sneered: "General Sam, I know that you are a capable general. Unfortunately, you are not the Governor of Maranster, and you have no right to decide the life and death of the people of this city on behalf of His Excellency the Governor! Corbius is a coward, then he should at least do his duty as a governor to negotiate with me! ”
When Sam heard this, he was angry, but he was helpless. After all, the other party was not willing to discuss this matter with him at all, so he had to ask Corbius to go up the city wall. But that Kobius was killed and refused to run to the front to face the enemy general, for fear that he would be injured by the other party. In the end, Sam had to be coaxed. Explain to him that if he doesn't show up at this time, I'm afraid it will provoke a civil uprising. At that time, neither the walls nor the soldiers could protect his safety, which made Corbius have to agree to the request. However, Corbius insisted that he must wear two layers of armor. He also asked the forty-life heavily armored samurai to protect him in front of him in case of accidents, which Sam had to compromise.
Finally, when Corbius walked up to the city, he said tremblingly: "Your Royal Highness, if you have any requests, just mention it, as long as you can do it, you will definitely not refuse." ”
This time, Li Tianhao looked to the other side, and the three spies brought by Elda also nodded to him. Li Tianhao turned his head to Kobius with satisfaction and said, "Your Excellency is Lord Corbius, the governor of Maranster, right?" ”
"Yes, that's right."
"Very well, then I will ask the Governor to listen to a story. About eight years ago, a merchant from the Silk Country was raided by bandits west of Port Maranster with a caravan, killing all his entourage and robbing his goods, except for one of the merchant's personal guards. Half a year later, the merchant's son brought fifty warriors and successfully wiped out the bandits, but they discovered a surprising insider, that is, these robbers were not robbers at all, but Yaki's regular army! They are the privateer corps authorized by the governor of Maranster, Corbius, under the command of General Sam, to raid caravans and loot goods for themselves! After the bandit was destroyed, the merchant's son was attacked by two thousand regular Yaki troops led by General Sam! After suffering great losses, the merchant's son fled to Dils, where he became a rebel general, and later Prince of Palci, that is, me! Today, I'm here to get revenge on you! ”
Li Tianhao's words were sonorous and powerful, and they were as clear as thunder and entered the ears of everyone in the city. Seeing that his secret was exposed in public, Kobius suddenly blushed with anxiety, and didn't know what to do. In fact, Corbius was completely unaware of this matter, he only knew how much treasure he had earned, but Sam on the side was immediately shocked that this incident seven years ago flashed in his mind. He could only laugh out loud to dispel the fear in his heart, and said, "His Royal Highness is good at making up stories, and in all his years of service in Port Maranster, he has never heard of such strange theories. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if this is true, what evidence does His Highness have to prove it? ”
"Hmph, you really don't remember me, do you? Lord Sam? Li Tianhao raised his head as he spoke, his eyes of different colors staring at Sam deadly. The black of the left eye is as deep as the night, and the blue of the right eye has been dyed purple by the anger at the moment! (To be continued.) )
