Chapter 595: March of Destruction (1)
There is no doubt that Julian, the mascot of Lopvin, must have a plan, so it is better to be careful.
But he doesn't have to be too vigilant, what he wants shouldn't conflict with the players.
An Yizhi really couldn't guess what was going on in his stomach, but he could think about it from his side.
If I were Julian, what would I want to achieve now?
It's simple, nothing more than four words.
Take back the right.
For Julian, the top priority is to find a way to firmly control the city of Lopwen left by his ancestors, and other purposes can be sidelined.
In this way, the Johnston family and even the city of Naua can be lost, and they will not care at all.
In other words, he does not have any conflict of interest with the Light of the Stars, nor does he have any conflict of interest with the Combine of the City-States of Sadmir.
As the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, everyone has different goals and the same process, so it is natural to move towards unity.
Perhaps Sirius also saw this and chose to cooperate with Julian.
Having said that, the light of the stars is really a dick, I really don't know how they got on the line with Julian, the city lord of Lopwen.
The four of them then checked the details of the plan to make sure that every step was not wrong, and with the help of Julian, who was familiar with the environment of Naua, the preparation for the battle was easy.
There was nothing left to say, it was still very early before the start of the operation, everyone was drinking and playing cards to kill time, and at four o'clock in the morning, Julian used the main control staff of the space beacon to teleport everyone to his foothold in the city of Naua. Quietly wait for the time to start.
āāāāāāāāāā
The city of Naua, built on a gap in the Heavenly Sword Mountains, is flanked on either side by towering peaks.
Compared to the four gates of the city of Amen and the three gates of the Ironforge Fort, which was built on the hill, the city of Naua, which had only two gates, was more defensible. It's like building a dam.
With fewer walls, they were able to concentrate their forces for defense, and with three fortresses similar to urn cities on the north and south sides of Naua, they all suffered a great loss when the demons invaded, and at that time, most of the city-states could only defend themselves, and only Naua's city had the spare strength to mobilize troops to rescue others.
If it weren't for the players in Naua City cooperating with the most elite Wyvern Knights of Lopwen to launch a surprise attack, and the strength in Naua City was greatly damaged due to the rescue of other city-states, even the most powerful Lopwen would not have been able to take this ironclad city.
Playtime, 7 a.m.
Because it is located in the valley, the city of Naua has little sunlight, and the shadow of the morning mist covers the city, and it is difficult to see the situation on the other side almost more than ten meters.
Layer after layer, the mist licked through the spacious and neat Temple Square, seeping down the sewer covers on both sides of the road, as if it had been sucked in.
Although the Overworld Dosu feels a lot like the tone of the European Middle Ages, there are still sewers, otherwise the streets should be used now, dirty water, pooping everywhere, Indian-like, these adjectives.
The tower in the center of Naua's city lit up with a golden light, and the magical energy quickly spread, dispelling the fog inside the city in an instant, and at the same time bringing a hint of warmth to the city that lacked sunlight.
It was something that originally belonged to the Temple of the God of Guards, Heim, and not only could it dispel fog and light, but it also disabled teleportation within its area of effect.
Players in Naua City have long been accustomed to this kind of scenery, and some of them have just come out of the dungeon, ready to join up with three or five friends to go out to fight monsters and upgrades, and they don't take the Sadmir coalition army just outside the valley seriously.
"Have you heard? There's a trial at eight o'clock later. ā
"I've heard about it, what's the name of the prisoner...... Johnston? ā
Several players are talking on the street.
"Speaking of which, a trial is a head-killing, right? What's there to see? ā
"Killing the head is the name of our Celestial Empire in ancient times, this is a world with a magical background, it should be hanged or burned at the stake."
"Let's go and see, I won't be able to delay much anyway, I haven't seen what the trial is like."
"Just look at it, how does this [beep--] execute criminals......"
As he spoke, a team of NPC soldiers passed by, and the system directly blocked the sensitive word game.
The players, whose chat was interrupted by the system, watched the soldiers belonging to the city of Lopven go away, and said hatefully:
"Sooner or later, get these guys out of here."
His words drew the approval of his companions.
The Johnston family will be judged today, and this is known not only to the players, but also to the NPC residents in the city, but they are not willing to join in the fun.
One by one, they closed their doors and windows, hid in their own homes and shivered, and at the same time complained about why they didn't have the courage to sneak out of the city with the wave of people yesterday, and now the city is too dangerous.
Whether you like it or not, time is advancing minute by minute.
Many soldiers set up execution tables and other preparations in the Temple Square in the center of the city, more than a thousand meters away from the Temple Square, on the roof of a small three-story building.
Dimensity and the two Starlight players are hiding here, and the first shot of the operation is fired by Dimensity, who is also responsible for directing and providing some fire support.
The soldier's movements were fast, and it didn't take long to get almost ready, when among the players hiding on the roof, a girl with cat ears patted Dimensity on the shoulder and reminded:
"Sister Dimensity, there's an airship in the sky."
"Be careful to hide and don't get discovered."
With that, Dimensity covered herself with a gray cloak and threw herself on the ground. The cloak is like a chameleon, simulating not only the colors around it, but also the cracks in the ground.
The other crouched against the corner, his body quickly covered in a stony color, turning into a mass of stone in the blink of an eye.
And the half-orc girl with the cat's ears recited a spell, and transformed into a white dove standing on the roof, and from time to time she looked left and right and cooed, like a real pigeon.
As the so-called Eight Immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, there are more strange skills and equipment among the players, and many things can refresh the three views of the NPCs.
The airship circled the sky twice, presumably to check for threats or something, and finally it slowly approached the Temple Square and landed in the wide square.
Dimensity quietly peeked out from under her cloak with black and white eyes, and she saw three middle-aged men with big bellies coming down from the airship.
It doesn't matter who the other party is, but their arrival means that the trial is about to begin.
Beckoning the two disguised companions to get ready, Dimensity took out a tripod and quickly assembled it, the weapon was a sniper rifle with a range of more than a kilometer, and with skill correction, her accuracy was no less than that of a sniper in the real army.
Dimensity took out her favorite weapon and placed it on her tripod.
98Kļ¼ Eightfold mirror!
Then he pulled out his telescope and looked at the target area.
At this time, the players who were ready to watch the excitement also began to slowly gather in the temple square, and it was human nature to join in the fun, and soon there were more and more people in the temple square.
The soldiers responsible for maintaining order can only block the player's approach with a human wall, which is not a good errand based on their expressions.
It didn't take long for the solemn Temple Square to become like a vegetable market, and it was better to expect the players to be disciplined than to be in the fun.
Dimensity moved the telescope to bring in more of the sight. A short time later, she saw a prisoner van coming in from the other side of the street, surrounded by many escorting soldiers.
She knew that the master was coming.
āāāāāāāāāā
Johnston was a mild-mannered-looking middle-aged man, who looked like a well-educated man. At this time, his face was covered with bruises, and there were still blood stains on the corners of his mouth, which showed that he had suffered a lot in prison.
But even as he was about to ascend to the gallows, he held his head high and held his wife and daughter behind him with open hands, fearing that the crowd of onlookers would throw rotten eggs at them or something.
Players aren't bored enough to get to that point, specifically looking for rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves to throw around, and most of them are improvising to join in the fun.
The prisoner car drove through the crowd, and the players were at most judged, what uncle was quite handsome, his wife was so beautiful, Lori Saigao and so on.
Uh, looks like there's something weird mixed in.
On the rostrum, the guests in charge of this 'trial' are ready, after all, it is a trial, so there needs to be a judge.
In addition to the three councillors who had arrived from Lopwen, the general who was temporarily in charge of the defense of Naua's city was also there, a total of four. But the players are curious, there are a total of 5 seats on the podium, why did 4 come?
"Hasn't the castle lord arrived?"
Not only are the players strange, but the three councillors are also quite strange, they are just here for a routine matter, even for the sake of 'face' justice, there must be a representative of the council at the trial. In fact, the lord of the city is the 'judge' level of the trial.
"I remember that the lord of the city came here three days ago."
One of the lawmakers wondered.
"You're right, Lord Castle is in the city."
The general explained, but with some embarrassment on his face:
"But since the lord of the city came to Naua, he invited the lady of the club to his mansion every day...... I have sent a soldier to call, but the soldier has reported that the lord of the castle has not gotten up yet. ā
The three chubby councillors glanced at each other and smiled like a man would know.
"Forget it, the lord of the city is still young."
This is also the virtue of the lord of the city in the time of Lopwen, and the council has long been accustomed to his inattention, or he is better off like this.
However, the city lord was not there, and his manuscript was about to be read to others, and the three councillors prevaricated for a while, and finally decided that the fattest of them would take the place of the city lord.
Conspiracy is wriggling in the dark, calculations of all parties are converging in the city of Naua, and it depends on whose plan is better who will die in the end.
At this point, the prisoner cart drove from the other side of the street into the Temple Square and stopped in front of the tripod......
The 'judgment' began.
