Chapter 711: Everyone is in the process of being promoted
The Crimson City, during the period when it was known as the "Black Mist City" for more than a thousand years, the inhabitants of this ancient city, in addition to those undead armies who wandered around the streets of the city without sleep, or gathered in the square in a daze and didn't even dance, only had a hundred castles of necromantic knights, a shadow tower of one hundred and fifty lich elders, plus the mansions of eight blood families including the Moonlight family, a prince and seven dukes.
In addition to this, most of the undead lords are scattered in every corner of the Henas Peninsula. Although this is only a peninsular country on the edge of the world, compared to the number of undead lords in the tens of thousands, the land area is actually quite sufficient.
Because of this, the removal of the undead on the entire Henas Peninsula may be another mega project that will last for several years and cause countless damages.
The Patriarchs of the Blood Clan, Duke Cyrilt of House Haocoon and Duke Vestelsen of House Valya have been killed on the spot by Miss True Ancestor. It is foreseeable that their families will soon be subjected to a very brutal purge, neither the Federation nor the Nords, nor the nations of the Black Earth Hills and the Dragonclaw Peninsula, nor even the relatively friendly and disciplined High Elves will never allow the birth of these two families to continue. However, there is no way to do it, since you are in the wrong position, and you have a stiff mind to go all the way to the dark, you and your family must pay for your misjudgment. Political activities in this ancient world, especially during the period of dynastic change. It's always been so realistic, and it's cruel.
In addition, some families chose to take sides in a pinch. It will inevitably be subject to a lot of repression and various "unfair" treatments. For example, the Harleincht family, who disembarked at the last minute. Of course, survival is more important than anything else, and this famous wallgrass family of the blood clan was able to surrender to the Plague King back then, and now it is natural that they can also "set things right" under the deterrence of floating warships and dragon teeth. Anyway, since ancient times, history has never lacked this kind of steer, never valued by its allies and enemies, but always lived a very healthy life.
Other than that. It's the Blood Clan warriors who have risen up with Miss True Ancestor's Moon Banner. Before the darkness shattered and the coalition arrived, they endured a frantic counterattack from the undead. The losses are not small, even the high-level blood clans that are directly subordinate to the command of Moonwright, there are also very rare heroic martial arts factions in the blood clan like Count Andwak who died in battle, in addition. Abel, who is the chief retainer of the Moonlight family? Marquis Savile and Miss Awen's female officer, Irene? Countess of Korut. In the end, he had to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, and he was injured a lot.
β¦β¦ Of course, they also lost their last true ancestor forever.
They did get the victory and their long-awaited liberation...... But the price paid will also move any hard-hearted veteran. Perhaps, this is exactly what the nations want to see.
It is said that the most powerful necromantic knight among the necromantic knights, Kiguril after the Black Duke Angmar, has indeed fulfilled his style as a martial artist to the last moment. He fought bravely, even in the face of the combined fire of the Federation Floating Ships and the Knights of the Sun, and finally rode a bone dragon into the sky. The officers and men of the coalition were very touched by his majestic expression. In order to show his sincerity, the jade dragon tore the bone dragon under the crotch of the human belt to pieces with the shockwave attribute dragon breath that could directly collapse the mountain.
Kiguril died a very magnificent death. In comparison, the final moment of the ringhead Gitiller is very aggrieved, and the life box is found by the wind like a rabbit hole from some hidden corner, and he dies silently.
All in all, in this great battle over the Crimson City, most of the Necromantic Lords were ambushed one by one, and a few fled in all directions. The die-hard necromantic knights may continue to fight against the new masters of the Henas Peninsula like the national heroes who resisted the invaders, and such resistance may last for years or even decades; It is unlikely that the lichs who have managed to have eternal life will be able to do so, knowing that they are not destined to be tolerated by civilized society as the living dead, but they will certainly not be able to die for their supreme leader, the Lord of the Plague.
This group of veteran spellcasters, who have lived for an unknown number of years, will definitely try their best to escape from this doomed peninsula, and then may hide in any corner of the world to survive. In fact, based on the current civilization of this world, even with the super-sized occult weapons such as dragon knights, elves riding pegasus, and magicians, it is impossible for the army of the Cold Weapon Age to really block a large peninsula to the point of leakage, even if it is an army of millions of people.
As a result, these lichs who escaped with great difficulty must have lofty ideals to become the next plague king, and they will continue to create all kinds of small-scale undead disasters in remote areas where the control of some large churches and state agencies is relatively lax. Perhaps in the next few hundred and thousands of years, the group of necromancy and necromancers will not be truly exterminated, which is really like a plague virus, eliminating one wave, and there will always be the next wave slowly brewing in the hot spring and humid summer places.
Of course, in any case, according to the history textbooks, the necromancer community, as an independent political force, no longer exists. As for whether there will be that lich or necromancer, the protagonist is possessed by an aura, and there are clichΓ©s such as getting Kazan's inheritance and becoming the next plague king, it can only depend on the development of the fate of this world, and the efforts of everyone who hates necromancy.
Lu Xi pondered the above content like a historian full of wisdom, and at the same time looked at the Black Mist City, which was many times more noisy and noisy than when he first came.
The floating battleship hovered above the zenith, like a group of jailers watching the city's every move. Silver Pegasus, carrying the High Elf Sun Knights, patrols the skies in groups, watching every move around the city. The main force of the allied army has also broken through the Namoa Pass. The Iron Fortress, which took the Undead Lords a hundred years to build, fell and was burned to the ground by the Coalition. Orcs who have been battered, and Black Flag Wingers, who have always been on the same level as bandits. At this time, they naturally did not hesitate to turn their backs on their former allies.
Most of the coalition soldiers have already begun to carry out the first batch of undead eradication work under the unified deployment of the headquarters that has not yet been disbanded, and many have already entered the Black Mist City.
Lu Xi saw the giant shield crossbowmen of the Kingdom of Milan, the hook and sickle of the Kingdom of Kroll, the giant axe guards of the Duchy of Vickel, and the heavy sword stormtroopers of the Duchy of Hilminster. It's a pity that when the siege of Black Man City was formed, these Federation allies who should have appeared a long time ago. But until the end, the snakes and rats were trembling, and they had to wait until the dragon knight and the high elf's silver pegasus were the first to trigger. Only then did he follow the rear and send troops...... And, of course, the valiant Highland Knights of the High Court Kingdom. Of course, during the siege of the city, they were under the onslaught of another army of the undead, led by the Necromantic Knight Captain Sheld. Of course, there is no room to rescue the black man.
This time. The ancient city, which was originally inhabited only by the undead lords for more than a thousand years, is being turned into a live-action military museum. If there are fanatical military fans of cold weapons here, they will definitely be so excited that they can't stop for days and nights.
While thinking like this, he followed the federal officer in front of him and walked quickly, and before he knew it, Lu Xi had already arrived at the central square of Black Mist City - of course, the name "Black Mist City" should have completely entered the countdown, but the name after that would not necessarily be changed to the ancient name of "Crimson City". It is said that some people have already begun to ask whether yì is going to be renamed "Friendship City" or "United City". If I'm not mistaken, when he and Tempest teamed up to fight the ringhead Gintil. A huge sinkhole was once carved out of this square...... So, when Lu Xi saw the curtain and engineering wooden shelves in the center of the square, he didn't feel strange, but was somewhat embarrassed. Elven engineers and Federation shapeshifters point around the curtain, commanding the army's baggage guards.
"There is a very, very much work to be done to rebuild to the point where people can live there." A familiar voice sounded in Lu Xi's ears, and then what caught his eye was a handsome figure with a chic and uninhibited demeanor that fulfilled the dreams of all the uncles and girls. Lieutenant General Dandy Lane, Lu Xi's theoretical direct officer.
"Ah, Your Excellency, Commander." Lu Xi gave a not-so-standard military salute while looking at the other party with surprised eyes, this was not acting, but he really felt obvious surprise: "You actually came to the front line in person, instead of sitting in Heiman City, which really surprised the lower officials!" β
"You're such a slick young man, Lu Xiqing." His Excellency the General smiled incomprehensibly, "Actually, you're trying to say that a scarecrow in gold armor like me (Oakland slang, synonymous with "embroidered pillow") should stay in Black Man City honestly and not run to the front line to get in the way, right?" β
"Look at what you said. The lower official means that the son of a daughter will not sit down, and the safety of His Excellency the General is not only related to the gains and losses of Heiman City, but also as the military representative of your country in the coalition army, you also represent your country's right to speak in this war, and you should not rush to the front line no matter what. Lu Xi said in a serious way, with a demeanor and tone, saying very similarly: "Leader, I want to criticize you, how can you not rest well, how can you not rest well, how can you lead us to continue to progress, how can you lead the people to continue to get rich", certain bureaucrats.
"The front line? The Lord of the Plague has been defeated, the Lich and Necromantic Knights are gone, and most of the Blood Families have gone anyway. If we have won a brilliant victory from the perspective of war, how can this be considered a front line? β
The little officer who had brought Lu Xi with him hid in the corner, silently looking at the sky, trying to think of himself as a scarecrow with no sense of zΓ i, until His Excellency the General made a thoughtful gesture, and then he left as quickly as if he had been amnestied.
The general kept watching the back of the junior officer run away, and then continued: "Of course, no great commander or how elite an army can kill all the enemies at once, and the Henas Peninsula may not be peaceful at all for a certain period of time. However, after all, this peninsula is mostly plain and hilly. It's easier than fighting the Black Flag Wingers in the Namoa Mountains, which stretches for thousands of miles. I'm sure it won't be long. Here the peace of more than 1,000 years ago will be restored. With the nascent Henas Bloodline Kingdom as an ally, the Black Flag Wings of the Namoa Mountains will gradually lose their greatest support, and the day of their demise is not too far away. In this way, the eastern border of the Federation will be as stable as Mount Tai. β
He nodded with a very serious attitude, as if he was really moved by this expected goal that sounded full of positive energy: "Lu Xiqing, now you know what you have done. How important is it to the Federation, right? β
ββ¦β¦ You are really a false praise, and the lower officials are really ashamed. β
Yes, that great human hope country in my hometown. The same should have been thought when they entered Afghanistan and Iraq with near-crushing military superiority.
It seemed that Lu Xi's insincere modesty was not in his intended goal, and a hint of surprise flashed in General Halda's eyes, but he hid the past with a very clever smile. He patted Lu Xi on the shoulder. As my gaze moves. Soon the latter also turned his attention to the busy construction site in the center of the square.
"The Coalition soldiers have reached a consensus to renovate the central square of the city and erect a Yawen there? The 20-meter colossus of His Royal Highness Moon Wright. Well, you know, this large stone statue, the craftsmanship of the high elf friends is the most trustworthy...... Half a year ago, His Royal Highness the True Ancestor of that Blood Clan still had a place in the top ten of the Great Sanctuary Bounty List, but now. But it is a legendary hero who is revered by the nations and crusades against the demon gods. Such a strange woman. It deserves to be remembered by history. β
Whether it is the "memory of history" or the colossus that will be erected in the center of the square, it is for the living, not for the dead. Lu Xi felt that saying this would definitely make him look secondary, but he really thought so in his heart. It took him a lot of effort to hold this sentence in his throat with difficulty, and he almost vomited blood in frustration.
"I know a little bit about the relationship between you and Her Royal Highness Yawen, well, and Her Highness Selena who is still cultivating." General Halda said: "Lu Xiqing, you are also a senior officer of the Federation, if you can, I hope you can make good use of your connections, stand on the position of the country, and do what you can." β
Lu Xi glanced at the other party, a little wanted to laugh, wanted to be angry but couldn't get angry at all, more of a deep helplessness.
"After all, I have to get a salary of a few hundred gold coins a year from the federal government, Your Excellency. It is true that the subordinate is not an excellent soldier who loves his job and is dedicated, but he is not so undisciplined as to be a salary thief. β
"No, no, no, you've done far more than the amount of gold you paid by the federal government." General Halda showed a sincere and steady expression, and said in a serious tone: "I must criticize you, Lu Xiqing, being too modest will make you seem too harmless and kind." You are a high-ranking officer of the Federation, the best young man in the Alliance, and occasionally you need to show the domineering you deserve. β
Is this another version of "Leader, I want to criticize you, how can you not rest well, how can you lead us to continue to progress, how can you lead the people to continue to get rich"? What a newspaper from the present world......
"Speaking of which, General Astre doesn't seem to be here, does he?" Lu Xi looked around, but he didn't smell the smell of the "thunder light" that was pretending to be forced across half the street, but the Arras was hovering over the Crimson City now.
"He was an idle man, and when he heard that there was a permanent passage to the dungeon on the outskirts of the city, he went with a group of elite soldiers to investigate." Halda said, "Hey, compared to you, I'm really a salary thief." β
"You're really being too humble. No matter how small the credit we make, it is done under your leadership, and as you said earlier, too much modesty can make people lose their aggressiveness and domineering......"
How long will this kind of mutual praise of "leader, I want to criticize you, how can you not rest well, how can you lead us to continue to make progress, how can you lead the people to continue to get rich" will continue? Lu Xi deeply despised himself and the other party in his heart, and then he barely squeezed out a smile: "If we can be rewarded, Your Excellency the General deserves to be rewarded even more." β
To Lu Xi's surprise, he was obviously just saying a polite word, but His Excellency the General, who should obviously have a great sense of humor, puffed up his chest very, very without a sense of humor, and his face showed obvious pride: "I still have some connections in the Ministry of Military Affairs, and it is said that I will soon wither back to Elichar and serve as the deputy commander of the Military Department and the admiral of the Central Fleet, and be promoted to the rank of general." In addition to this, the sixth ...... Uh, that is, Gary of the Eastern Legion? General Agrol will also return to Elichar as Commander of the Praetorian Guard, responsible for the reorganization of the 1st and 2nd Janissary Corps, which had suffered heavy damage at the Battle of Farahals. Of course, he will also be promoted to general. β
ββ¦β¦ Uh, congratulations, and congratulations to General Agrol. Lu Xi didn't know where the other party got the information, and he didn't want to judge whether it was true or false.
The key question is, what does this have to do with him?
"I just want to ask you, Lu Xiqing, are you interested in returning to the capital to work, whether it is the position of the Military Command Department or the Central Fleet, you can choose." (To be continued......)
