Chapter 357: Returning with Victory

After actively preparing for the war for a few days, there was no movement on the side of the Human Empire, but his subordinates brought good news.

"Lord Keane," the soldier who came to report looked excited, "General Dolma, General Alvin, General Moses, General Michael and General Leo have returned with tens of thousands of horses and horses, and they are currently waiting outside the fortress!"

"They're back?!" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly left the work in hand, handed it over to the kobold craftsman to continue building equipment, and left the factory in a hurry, "But you can wait for me to death! Wait! You said tens of thousands of horses? Isn't it? When those guys went out, didn't they only bring three or four thousand city guards?"

"Eh~ I don't know!" the soldier shook his head blankly.

"Hurry up and let them into the city!" Jia Zhengjin said excitedly, "No matter what, our army is finally back! By the way, calculating the time, Karl's convoy should be about to return, right?"

"Then I'll go and inform General Varien at once!" the soldier immediately turned.

"Wait!" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment and hurriedly chased after him, "I'll go to meet them personally!"

But it was said that outside the fortress gate, the five generals of Dolma, Alvin, Michael, Moses, and Leo lined up.

Behind them, in addition to the nearly 4,000 city guards, there were more than 6,000 soldiers who didn't know where they came from, all in leather armor.

Varion stood condescendingly on the walls of the fortress and watched the army. Although he already knew from the other people's mouths that they were actually troops sent out by the Holy Dragon City, he would definitely not open the door easily until he received an order from Lord Kean.

However, Varien was a little envious of the second-order demonic beast mounts under Dolma and Alvin's crotch, and such a strong creature was used as a mount, which was full of temptation for him.

Varion was watching the five generals under the city, and the people below were watching him.

"I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Lord Kean would build such a majestic fortress, and also add so many generals and troops!

"But this time things are a bit serious," Alvin said from the side, "and the forces on all sides are mobilizing troops, which is quite unfavorable for us!"

"What are you afraid of? There's a dragon anyway, it's a dragon with almost divine power!" Dolma laughed, "We're fighting side by side with dragons, what else is there to be afraid of?"

"It's you, I don't know where you got such a big confidence!" Alvin couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at him.

At this moment, a giant dragon suddenly appeared in the airspace above the fortress. Isn't it Lord Keane standing on top of the dragon's head?

"Whoa!!" all the generals and soldiers, both inside and outside the fortress, subconsciously fell to one knee. The faces of the more than 6,000 people who followed behind the city guards were stunned for a few seconds before kneeling.

However, this kneeling revealed some abrupt roles in the troops.

Jia Zhengjin didn't let the fake dragon land, flew directly over the fortress, came to the sky above Zhuoma and the others, looked at the group of people standing in the middle of the crowd behind him, bound by the Ring of Confinement, and asked, "Who are those?"

"Lord Keane," Dolma turned his head to look, then raised his head and replied angrily, "On the way to send the elf princess home, the lord of Sea Dragon City, Duke Fairman, actually sent troops out of the city to intercept and rob people! The princess has now been safely sent back to the Elven Forest, because we heard that the forces of the major human empires are changing and are preparing to deal with the Holy Dragon City, so we rushed to the starry night, and took the messenger from the Elven Forest to escort thirty-six officials and nobles, including the Duke of Fairman, back!"

"I asked you to send people home, and asked you to ask Duke Fairman for ransom, what do you mean by arresting people for me?" Jia Zhengjin was speechless for a moment, "Also, what happened to the troops in the back?"

"Lord Keane," Dolma replied, "these are the righteous men who followed General Owen in the uprising! General Owen asked them to help escort Duke Fairman and the dignitaries of Sea Dragon City first, and will stay behind to help us garrison Holy Dragon City for the next possible battle!"

"Lord Keane," Varion suddenly spoke on the city wall, "beware of deception! If the enemy army coerces our soldiers and uses this as an excuse to deceive the city, then there will be endless troubles and it will be impossible to prevent it!"

Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin glanced back at Varion with some surprise, and then laughed and said, "It's good that you can think like this, but it's too much to worry about! You don't know Zhuoma and them, but I know very well." They are not the type to be subdued by enemy forces and follow orders. Hurry up and open the gates and welcome our victorious division!"

"Yes!" Varien persuaded him, but he still relied on Jia Zhengjin's orders.

"Lord Keen!!" Zhuoma and the other five generals were all excited, and their hearts were extremely warm for Jia Zhengjin's trust.

The gate of the fortress was soon opened, led by Dolma, Alvin, Michael, Leo, and Moses, and the city guards led the troops from Sea Dragon City, escorting Duke Fairman and the dignitaries of Sea Dragon City through slowly.

"Lord Kean, what to do with these captives?" After entering the fortress, Zhuoma found Jia Zhengjin, who had landed.

Jia Zhengjin didn't bother to look at it: "Put it in prison first, but remember to be separated from the others, so as not to be infected and become a blood slave." I'll talk about them tomorrow, and I'll give you a good story about my experience in Sea Dragon City today! And what's going on with that Owen? He sent these more than 6,000 troops, really just to assist us?"

"Lord Kean, please talk to the elven envoy first!" said Dolma, "We can talk about it in the evening, this envoy was personally sent by the elf king, ......and we must not be lazy!"

"What else?" asked Jia Zhengjin.

"Because Duke Fairman refused to pay Lady Natasha's ransom, we stormed Sea Dragon City and ransacked their vaults on the spur of the moment. And I took it upon myself to leave half of the gold coins for General Owen and only ship the other half back. I beg you to punish this without Lord Keane's consent!" said Dolma, bowing her head.

"Vault?" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly reached out and grabbed him, "How many gold coins?"

"Lord Keane, the dozen or so carriages behind the troops are all pulled!" Dolma said in a low voice, "There are more than 200,000 gold coins in the vault of Sea Dragon City, and we pulled 100,000 back! The remaining 100,000 will be used by General Owen to rebuild the city's facilities, pacify the people, recruit more soldiers, and build more weapons and armor." ”

"200,000 ah......" Jia Zhengjin clenched his fists and almost died of anger, "Why don't you pull it all back? What is it left to that Owen called? He is not our person!"

"Eh~ Lord Keane, General Owen has already surrendered to me!" Dolma scratched his face, "I agreed to his surrender on behalf of Lord Keane, and it was my fault that I failed to consult Lord Keane in advance!"

"Then you should directly bring back all the people and money!Why are you staying in Sea Dragon City?" Jia Zhengjin said speechlessly.

"What a pity to give up the city that we have managed to defeat with great difficulty?" Dolma replied, "Having General Owen run Sea Dragon City for Lord Keane can ensure that the Elven Forest is not intruded. This time, the envoy of the elven clan came, firstly, to thank Lord Keene for saving the elven princess, secondly, to thank Lord Keane for taking in the children of the elven clan, and thirdly, to form an alliance with Lord Keane, and form a line with the Elven Forest, Sea Dragon City, and Holy Dragon City to form the most stable offensive and defensive alliance!"

"Damn! I can't even take care of my own Holy Dragon City......" the corners of Jia Zhengjin's mouth twitched, "Then have you ever looted the homes of those officials and nobles?"

"Lord Keane, that's too inhumane!" Dolma shook his head, "It will cause resentment among the people of Sea Dragon City, which is quite bad for us!"

“...... What I care about now is not the people's grievances, but the gold coins!" Jia Zhengjin let out a long sigh, how much he needed gold coins now?
