Chapter 36 Legendary Sword(1/2)
"With the inside and outside, Twilight City was captured overnight." Myrcella told Brian:
"This is the news I just received, and you may be surprised, but the clergymen of the Good God and the Templar Knights in the city bravely resisted the enemy in the temple tower, and resisted to the last moment on the wall assigned to them. Because of this, all the defenders and citizens were massacred, with a total of at least 5,000 people. After the news came out, the great escape began. The defeated army and civilians fled to Mashanbo, and a large number of refugees fled to the direction of Leiming Peak in the eastern border. But not everyone could escape, some were chased by the cavalry and their escape routes were blocked... Do you understand what I mean?"
Brian nodded silently.
Twilight City was originally just a sea-to-sea fishing village in the southeastern direction of King Cormier, called Morning Light Village. The nearshore of the village is composed of a group of small islands, and the archipelago is connected to each other through bridges.
These islands were once a popular place for the Cormier nobles to have picnics, trysts and secret meetings.
With the growth of the Kingdom of Cormier, the expansion of the naval fleet.
The importance of Chenguang Village as an excellent port is fully reflected because it is located at the junction of the Kingdom of Sambi, and it is a must-pass place from Longhu to the Sea of Falling Stars.
The naval base was established here. In order to resist pirates, renovated docks and crossbow turrets emerged. The existence of these military buildings means that merchants have a sufficient sense of security and expand their business.
This led to the rapid development of the village, making Chenguang Village the Kingdom of Cormier, second only to Mashanbo’s large port city: Twilight City.
But even such a city was attacked overnight by pirates in the Weihong Sea and the believers lurking in the city.
"I'm talking about captives, slaves." Seeing Brian remain silent, Mycella continued to tell him: "The pirates hope to capture as many captives as possible, and this is the cheapest labor force for the believers of the Dark Monarch Bann and the Santalin Society."
"Who is the master messenger behind the scenes?" asked Brian.
Even without thinking, an answer popped up in his heart.
"It's Prince Selante, the uncle of Hiseya." A purest disgust flashed in the female lord's eyes. "It was him who colluded with the pirates in the Weihong Sea, the army on the Dragon Coast, and the support of the Dark Monarch Church, which made him think he had the strength to fight against the entire Kingdom of Cormier."
"The prince's timing of taking action is quite accurate." Brian analyzed calmly: "It's not stupid. I know that we are now being dragged by Sakros rising from the ghost city and dare not act rashly. The army in the East is now fighting with the Kingdom of Sambia. This is indeed the best opportunity to replace the Kingdom."
"But what he didn't expect was that the floating city had been temporarily shot down by us." As he spoke, a few cold lights flashed slightly in his eyes, "and the army led by the female university also had to retreat from the eastern border because of the resistance of the valley."
He knew that Prince Selante would rebel, and prepared many preparations in advance, and even specifically reminded Shisiaya and the royal wizard Sandrakot.
After hearing this news, he was not surprised.
This made him feel relieved. Although the timeline changed a lot, the overall framework is still there.
The enemy who hides is the most terrifying thing. If the enemy jumps out of the darkness, their deterrence will be reduced by at least half.
"So, I just received new information." A faint spell aura light flashed in Mycella's beautiful eyes. She pondered slightly, as if she was checking the message through some kind of magic.
"The rebels led by Prince Selante have set out from the port of Twilight in advance and arrived at Mashanbo, preparing to take down the largest port city of the kingdom in one fell swoop, and then march into the imperial capital Susar."
"Obviously, they didn't know as much about the situation in Sambiya and the floating city of Sachros as they imagined." Brian said:
"Or the other side of Sambiya, someone deliberately passed on false information to Prince Selante, making them mistakenly think that we were still dragged by the Ghost City and could not be separated."
The ghost princes are all old fried dough sticks who have lived for thousands of years. Even Sister Huiyao, who assisted the commander of the Sambian female university, is not a good deal of fuel.
It is easy for them to kill a Prince Selante.
Brian even guessed that the Yinhun City was likely to have an invitation to Prince Selante, expressing his willingness to dispatch Sambiya's army and the "unfallen" floating city to attack the eastern border of Cormier and Mokou Town together.
Then Prince Selante jumped out happily and exposed his long-hidden ambitions, uniting with the pirates in the Simon City and the Weihong Sea on the Dragon Coast, as well as the Bain Church, who was suppressed by the Kingdom of Cormier, to prepare to divide Cormier's territory with the Ghost City.
In the game world, this prince did, but now, he has been on guard against this prince since Brian was preparing to help Cormier.
Even so, he still allowed him to attack without any defense, seize a city, indulge the pirates and the people of the Bain Church, and carry out a tragic massacre.
"What just makes me curious is why Prince Selante believes that his army and strength can win the imperial capital guarded by the Mage Tower and the Royal Mage." Brian expressed his second doubt.
Since the royal wizard Sandrakot was attacked by Ferin Demon Aoi and was seriously injured, he was invited to the semi-plane. Like Myrcella, he condensed the magic pivot and his strength has also been slightly improved.
Moreover, through the ability of the semi-plane, he established the ability similar to the spiritual link between the three mage towers in the Kingdom of Cormier. Once one of the towers is in danger, the other two can be sensed instantly and provided the fastest support.
Therefore, even if Mashanbo fell, Brian did not think that Prince Selante's army could capture Susal.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Based on the information I have." Mycella frowned slightly and said, "When Twilight was captured, there seemed to be traces of the devil."
devil?
Hearing this, Brian immediately put away his contempt.
He knew that the timeline was indeed as he guessed. Although there was no problem with the main trunk, there were huge changes in the details.
As for why the devil's traces appeared, he suspected that this was likely related to the current bloody battle chief commander, "Daughter of Destruction", Zariel.
The military adjutant of the Devil's Grand Duke died at his hands.
This can also explain why the massacre occurred. After all, for the devil, the soul is hard currency in the Batto Hell.
"How is Mashanbo's current situation?" Brian asked with a slightly worried look.
…………
Susar City.
"Old Wizard." Regent Queen Sisia met Sandrakot, the royal wizard who came over, "Tell me what happened in Twilight."
"Didn't Prime Minister Fefarier tell you?" The royal wizard, who walked over with a stick, coughed gently and asked.
"Tell me, but I want to hear your version." said Shisiah.
"Dear child, if you listen to the version of Fifalil, then you should know more comprehensively and perhaps more credible than me. The purpose of my visit to you is mainly to tell you the news about Mashanbo from the Mage Tower."
Xisaiya's heart broke out, and a trace of bad premonition filled her heart.
She had already learned from the old prime minister that after Prince Selante's rebels occupied Twilight City, they led the navy to head straight in, with clear aims to point directly at the largest port city in Cormier: Mashanbo.
"Mashanbo." She whispered, "What's wrong with Mashanbo?"
"You can't know nothing?" The Royal Mage looked at her in surprise, "Is there no news coming to the palace?"
"Yes, but I want you to tell me everything you know." Xisaiya replied, "Say it."
"Prince Selante's rebels." The royal mage was silent for a moment and finally spoke, "attacked Twilight City and Huailun City, and fought undeclaredly. The reason should be to claim that your identity is by no means a descendant of the Obaiszier family, because your hair color and eyes are different from any member of the Obaiszier family."
Xisaiya nodded deeply.
She can still remember the Red Dragon Rebellion in Mokou Town in a profound way. Although she survived the dragon flame, her fragile life was in danger.
If her sister Myrcella had not sent her to the fairy wilderness in time and used the secret techniques of ancient and elegant spirit to save her, she would not have stood here.
But the price paid was the original sunny blonde hair and blue eyes, which were replaced by the influence of the Yaling bloodline, for the present appearance.
Obviously, for her Uncle Serant, this was indeed a reason to deceive the public, but a discerning person could tell at a glance that this was just an excuse for his rebellion.
"Anyway, the rebels' attacks were rapid and fierce." The old mage continued:
"They set out from the Ximen Port of the Dragon Coast, crossing the border was a regular army. In terms of scale, they gathered at least for weeks, or even months on the Dragon Coast. Twilight City and Huailun City were captured without any resistance. The consul of Mashanbo was prepared to be besieged by the enemy for several months, but on the next day, they were assassinated. The defenders opened the city under the pressure of the Merchant Guild, because the rebels promised that as long as they gave up resistance and paid a ransom, the city would not be robbed..."
When Shisiaya heard this, she was shocked, but she quickly calmed down and asked, "Have they kept their promise?"
Mashanbo is the largest port trading city in the Kingdom of Cormier and the most wealthy businessmen. It can be called a city of wealth.
What made her feel incredible was that it was really as Brian told her that if Mashanbo fell, it would definitely be attributed to the merchant.
"Abide by it." said the royal wizard slowly.
"It's really interesting." Xisia sneered with her eyes down and said in sarcastic words, "In such an era, there are people who believe in the promises. Those who keep the promises are actually believers of a group of pirates and dark monarchs. In the past, merchants never opened the doors of the fortress. They only helped the defenders, and each chamber of commerce even had its own towers and guards."
"But money does not distinguish between national boundaries, children, as long as those merchants can make money, they don't care who the ruler is, and those pirates don't care who the person who pays the taxes. The dead merchants can neither make money nor pay taxes." said the old master:
"You have to know that during the Orc War, the merchants of Mashanbo raised the price of food at least ten times, and even refugees spent the night under the eaves, with blood and dirty things dripping in their pores."
"It's good that at least it will save the Mashanbo civilians from the massacre." Xisaiya breathed a little relieved and said, "We must eliminate these rebels as soon as possible, otherwise, when the floating city of Sacros is launched again, it will be a disaster that is even worse than the orc rebellion for the entire Kingdom of Cormier."
Not only could she not hold back her legs, she also led the Purple Dragon Knight and the Battle Mage to Mokou Town to support him when the floating city invaded.
Therefore, she must eliminate Prince Selante's rebels at the fastest speed.
"That's right." The old mage nodded slightly, "Auglas will lead the Blue Dragon Fleet to fight to the death with the pirates in the Weihong Sea on Longhu, breaking the rebels' retreat, and you are responsible for leading the army and capturing Mashanbo."
"I will guard the imperial city and use the mage tower to assist the Blue Dragon Fleet." He then added, "As for you..."
The old mage hesitated for a moment, showed a mysterious smile, and the staff gently tapped the ground.
A light from the teleportation array emerged.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xisaiya widened her eyes and was surprised to see a slim woman in a black robe walking out of the gradually restrained magic circle.
She was wearing a black robe, and was wrapped in linen behind her back. She couldn't tell any material. Her long golden hair was simply tied into a ponytail, hanging around her slender waist.
When Shisiaya met the burgundy eyes of the woman in black robe, she called out her name without hesitation, "Karadena!"
"Oh my God, it's really you!" She quickly met her, "I thought you had..."
"Do you think I'm dead, right? My good sister, the Regent Queen of Cormier." The woman in black robe opened her arms and gave a warm hug with Shisiaya.
“It turns out.”
She smiled, her burgundy eyes flashed slightly, and the violent magic energy suddenly filled the air, and was quickly restrained by her, whispering, "Did you see it? No matter how wild native magic is, it can't control my will!"
Xisia showed an undisguised smile.
She studied in Susal's War Academy for a while, and Karadna, the sorcerer who masters wild magic, is one of the good sisters she met.
She is both a warlock and a powerful combat mage.
He once lost a secret stronghold of the Dark Monarch in Chenhai Town alone, and was able to escape from the pursuit of several Dark Knights.
This is precisely this reason, which made her disappear without a trace and no longer hears because she was unable to master the wild magic in her body.
Seeing Karadna's return, Shisaiya couldn't help but recall her other good sister, Bethrina, the moon elf from Hurek Forest.
