Chapter 268: The City Lord's Mansion under siege

At this time, Count Theodore was wearing military uniform and was sitting in the lord's seat in the lobby of the city lord's mansion, holding a magic wand with multiple magic gems inlaid with both hands. The other end of the magic wand was the counterweight and the spearhead of the weapon.

The rebels outside are attacking their castle.

Without reinforcements, the defenders of the City Lord's Mansion could only resist with their only troops.

Even the elderly Count was always ready to join the war.

The old butler Atley also changed into a set of chain mail and had a long sword inserted on his waist.

"Master, I didn't expect that one day we would wear armor. I really remember the days when I followed the master to fight everywhere!"

The butler standing beside the old earl looked at the empty hall and couldn't help but sigh.

Earl Theodore said with a serious expression: "The temple has prepared a riot. The leader who led the rebels to attack our leader must be an experienced commander.

He knew that our troops were empty and he had been urging oppressive harassment attacks on us, consuming our troops and energy.

It's the time for them to launch the general offensive."

The old housekeeper followed the count for his whole life to fight. Even if he was not good at strategy, he could see the current situation clearly when he heard and looked at him.

If he and the Count were twenty years younger, they would not be afraid of this rebel army at all.

But time is unforgiving.

The old housekeeper said: "The embassy of the Knight Yanxing seems to have repelled the rebels who attacked them. The guards of the North Gate rushed in before the rebels surrounded him and reported that the 3,000 guild mercenaries arranged by Yanxing in the northern suburbs manor have entered the city.

I think the Knight Yanxing will definitely come to support us.”

The old count shook his head: "I hope he will not rush to support us. The city lord's mansion is the focus of the rebels' attacks, and there is no idea how many troops there are hidden in the surrounding city areas.

Blindly providing support to us will only fall into the trap of the rebels.

Yanxing and I both miscalculated the rebel forces.

Or rather, too many people have lost confidence in Storm City. If the empire comes forward to negotiate with the orcs, after handing over Newta City, many people can be saved."

"These hateful traitors!" The old housekeeper couldn't help but curse, and he suggested: "The swamp army of the Yanxing Knights is on the border. As long as the master ordered them to support Newta City, he could easily quell the rebellion in the city."

Earl Theodore was thinking seriously about the old housekeeper's suggestions this time.

The road from Newta City to Eternal Territory has been built, and Eternal Territory's army has been deployed on the border. With just one order, the vanguard can enter the city within a few hours.

The nature of allowing Eternal Leader to the Army to pass through is different from that of allowing Eternal Guild mercenaries to enter the city.

Since war will inevitably lead to accidental injuries, there will inevitably be various crimes committed.

But no matter how cruel the rebels are, they are still human races, and no matter how light the mistakes of leading the army are, they are still foreign races.

Earl Theodore can die, but the title is still there, the family is still there, and the fief is still there.

No matter how cruel the power political struggle within the Silver Mane Duke was, the Earl of Theodore did not betray the Principality in name, so the Grand Duke of Silver Mane had no reason to take away the honors and fiefs of the Theodore family.

The crime of offering a city to foreign tribes is different.

If Storm City falls again...

No power, no right to speak.

Under the criticism of those political enemies, the Theodore family will bear the infamous for generations.

"Wait a little longer." Earl Theodore sighed.

He was worried about too many things and could no longer make the decision as he used to.

The old housekeeper also sighed.

In the past, when fighting, there were only enemies and us.

But at this time, there are enemies in Newta City and me in the enemy. On the surface, they should be enemies, but they are allies that can rely on; on the surface, they are enemies who want my life.

I don’t know how many forces in Newta City participated in the rebellion at this time. They each had their own purposes, but they definitely wanted the Count to die.

At this time, a guard ran in from outside.

"Report to the Lord, the Knight Yanxing is leading a team of griffins to attack the rebel blockade."

Soon another guard rushed in.

"Report to the Lord, the Knight Yanxing was intercepted by the rebels, and he has led his griffin to retreat to the embassy."

"Report to the Lord, the Knight Yanxing led the griffin to break through again."

"Report to the Lord, Knight Yanxing was blocked and has retreated to the Embassy."

"Report to the Lord, Knight Yanxing is at the Southeast No. 4 Fortress." A man dressed in a crossbow gunner rushed into the hall of the city lord's mansion and said happily: "Knight Yanxing said that he brought reinforcements and asked the Lord to go to the Southeast No. 4 Fortress to discuss the counterattack of the rebels."

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Didn’t you just say that the Knight Yanxing led his griffin was intercepted by the rebels and retreated towards the embassy?

Why did he suddenly run to the Southeast No. 4 Fortress?

But a small crossbow gunner would never lie about this matter.

Earl Theodore stood up happily, handed the staff to the old housekeeper, and quickly walked on the road to the Southeast Fort No. 4.

At this time, Yan Xing was holding a telescope to watch the enemy situation around him on this commanding height.

There are more people attacking the City Lord's Mansion than the Embassy, ​​and they are more elite.

They were scattered in the urban buildings around the city lord's mansion, attacking from all sides and retreating quickly, making it difficult to grasp their exact number and distribution.

Around a distance of more than a thousand meters to the east of the city lord's mansion is the square occupied by Eddie.

The square from the city lord's mansion is full of dense buildings, with extremely complex terrain. If you don't want to get stuck in the streets and fight for people, you need to find a suitable opportunity to advance.

"Notify Orff and lead all werewolf warriors and werewolf thunder in the embassy to support the square.

Transfer a squadron of tactical unmanned bombers to Newta City to stand by.

The artillery inside the embassy was moved to a position that could support the square."

After seeing the environment around the square on the spot, Yanxing felt that it was not safe to defend there by just mercenaries who had only received preliminary training.

When the square artillery bombards the rebels around the city lord's mansion, the rebels will definitely think of getting rid of this artillery position.

For a mercenary composed of children of the business association, the fighting will be debated. It is better to transfer the werewolf warriors to add an insurance policy.

The battle situation in rescuing the Earl of Theodore to Newta City is related to the battle situation. If the city lord can come out of the city lord's mansion, it will be a great shock to the rebels.

It can also increase the morale of friendly forces.

At the same time, avoid going beyond fences to the rebel side.

The sooner the Earl Theodore was rescued, the sooner the riot would be ended.

The core focus of whether the siege of the city lord's mansion can be lifted is the artillery positions located in the square.

There are no mistakes in this place between the beginning and the end of the shelling.

Yan Xing issued orders to continuously strengthen the protection of the square artillery positions.

Earl Theodore also boarded the fort at this time.

"My mentor..." Yan Xing saw that the old count was safe and had nothing to do, so he stepped forward and gave him a big hug.

Without talking about the interests of eternal leadership, Yanxing respects this mentor who takes him on the right path of heroism.
