Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 492 The Fire of War 4
A group of people left the temple and headed towards the street.

Due to the outbreak of fighting, not only were the streets empty at this time, even the shops, big and small, were tightly closed.

"Zhang Cheng, I heard what Alicia said, you said..." The baron found an opportunity. At this time, the others were far away, and Zhang Cheng was the closest to him. "You want me to be the lord here?"

"Count," Zhang Cheng replied calmly. "You don't need to beat around the bush. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."

This naked title made the baron a little difficult to accept, a little embarrassing.In fact, he has no impression of Zhang Cheng at all, so he still can't believe that this young man named Zhang Cheng was once an ordinary Musketeer under his command.

These days, although the musket has become a general-purpose weapon because of its own advantages, it has not been taken seriously because of its own shortcomings (and the influence of traditional concepts).Musketeers in the army are usually served by soldiers with the worst qualities.

But it must be admitted that what Zhang Cheng showed was not at all the quality that a musketeer should have.

Although he doesn't have knight skills, Zhang Ben's own sword skills are even higher than his daughter Alicia's.

"I want to ask, how did you think of it?"

"I read some books," Zhang Cheng replied calmly. "If the lord has no legal successor, but can only be inherited by an irrelevant person, then the church's recognition is the key factor. Isn't it?"

"Well, in theory it is," said the baron.Anyway, he is so old, even if he is not strong, at least he has good knowledge. "But... as far as I know, Lulian City is not completely unprepared. I have heard before that there is an artifact in the city that contains divine power, which can be used to protect the city in times of crisis. Maybe the city owner or his family will Activate this artifact in time."

"Ha... Earl, you have already seen it." Zhang Cheng said in a calm almost cold tone. "The Archbishop used it against Connibal. Now the city has no guardian power."

"How is it possible..." the baron gasped.He now understands a little bit, and the dragon people are undoubtedly aware of this, so the attackers will attack long distances. "But Earl Gellert of Lulian City has an heir, and his family is flourishing!"

"It's okay, the dragon people will help us prune the branches."

"However, in my opinion, some successors will survive after all. This is unavoidable. No matter how powerful the dragon people are, this is unavoidable."

"Just deny it." Zhang Cheng said coldly.

"What? Deny?" The baron was puzzled. "How to deny it?"

"Let me tell you a story, Earl. Once upon a time, there was an ancient country." Zhang Cheng said. "It's called 'Zhu Ming', and it was conquered by barbarians because of the country's own corruption. In order to show its generosity, this newly established barbarian dynasty announced that it would treat the heirs of the Zhu Ming dynasty leniently. Of course, this is just saying Just talking, because everyone thought that the heirs of the Zhu Ming Dynasty had died in the war. But later, a surviving heir was found, and he was recognized by those old officials of Zhu Ming who belonged to the barbarians. What do you say What are these savages to do? If they recognize each other's identity, they add unnecessary risks to their own rule. If they refuse to honor the rash promises made before, it is tantamount to backtracking and losing credibility. Guess they How to do it?"

"Has that heir been recognized by many old people? If so... I really don't know what to do. It's wrong on both sides." The baron replied after thinking for a while.

"The group of barbarians did it very cleverly. They used 'cautious' as an excuse to send out one group of envoys to confirm the identity of the other party. It is said that they have sent three envoys successively... Of course, if they want, they can send four, five, six Even the [-]th emissary group. If the members of this emissary group choose to recognize the identity of the other party's heir, they will be executed immediately and the whole family will be killed. The crime is not important, anyway, it can be found in advance. The three batches of envoys were smart, they denied the legal identity of the heir, and believed that he was not that person at all, but just an imposter."

"Ah..." The baron understood instantly.

"Thus, those barbarian rulers happily accepted the opinions of the third batch of envoys. They added officials to those envoys, and by the way, put the unlucky heir to death immediately on the charge of 'impostor'. So everything Everyone is happy. So you see, Earl," Zhang Cheng said. "It's all just a matter of technique."

"Don't say that this matter will not be exposed afterwards. Even if it is exposed afterwards, it is not the fault of the barbarian rulers, but the fault of the third messenger group. Because the barbarian rulers themselves do not know the heirs, and do not know the truth. Fake or not." The Baron nodded. "A clever trick indeed. I see."

They had already walked on the street for a while, and Zhang Cheng had spent this period of time in the city, so he already knew the locations of some important shops.They came to the best and most expensive clothing store in the city.

In front of the clothing store, there were a dozen unlucky people who were nailed to the ground with guns.

These unlucky guys have no armor, and the weapons are not complete. They are obviously civilians rather than soldiers.

These are probably rogues in the city, who want to take advantage of the fire.It's a pity that there should have been a group of dragonmen flying through the sky at that time, seeing that they were a little dangerous, so they launched a wave of attacks.

There are quite a few shots that missed. Comparing the hits and the misses, it is almost one to one.That is to say, the skills of these dragonmen throwing guns in the air are quite good.

The door of the clothing store was closed tightly, and no movement could be heard inside.Apparently, after realizing that the Dragonmen were attacking the city, the shopkeepers here had already fled for their lives.But at least they knew how to lock the door before they fled.

Zhang Cheng motioned for others to come forward and smashed the door open.They carried a big ax for breaking the door - as long as it is a normal door, there is no reason why it can't be opened, it's just a matter of time.

Everyone was puzzled for a moment.

"What are you doing here?" Alicia asked.No one thought the clothing store had anything to do with their plans.

"I came here to see it." Zhang Cheng said.It was in this store that he bought his clothes. "Remember all kinds of clothes are sold here, including priest's robes."

He looked back at the shabby gray and black old robe on the alcoholic priest.Going out in this kind of clothes is not going to scare people.On the contrary, when he first met the archbishop, even Zhang Cheng admitted that the archbishop's clothes were very dazzling.

"You mean..." Alicia was even more puzzled. "To that...priest..."

"The acting archbishop," Zhang Cheng corrected. "Get me a decent suit of clothes."

Someone has already stepped forward to chop the door.No matter how strong the door was, it was not as strong as the prison door. It didn't take too long for the door to be broken open, and a group of people walked in.

By the time they came out, the drunken priest was in full glory.With his present attire, no one would believe that he was an ordinary priest.If his temperament changed a little bit, no one would doubt him if he directly said that he was the Archbishop.

Then Zhang Cheng turned to another blacksmith shop on the street - he remembered that it sold armor.

Then the baron also changed into a suit of the most beautiful (but not the most practical) armor.

After completing these two preparations, the group returned to the temple of the church.

Kim has already drawn his summoning circle here.

It's not an ordinary magic circle, but a "massive summoning circle" invented and modified by himself.

There is a big difference in the level of summoning circles.The authentic summoning circle needs a mixture of various rare metals, gems, potions, etc., and the most high-end ones even consume some jewels every time they are summoned.However, the requirements for temporary ones are very low.You only need to use some alchemy potions, draw out the magic circle, and temporarily allow the magic power to flow on it.

Of course, the performance of the two is also incomparable.The former allows you to quickly contact the person you need to summon, but the latter...it's completely hard to say.

Unless it's a contracted creature that has a good relationship with each other (say, the kind you offer sacrifices on a regular basis), generally don't expect to summon anything powerful.

The battle continues.The dragon people have gained an overwhelming advantage.

The specific details of the battle in the distance cannot be seen here in the temple, but the battle arrangement of the dragon man can be roughly inferred from the position of the dragon man hovering.

The biggest advantage of the dragon people is flying, so they made it very clear from the beginning that they would use the advantage of flying to kill and kill with the help of shooting guns in the air, and divide the human forces in the city, so that they could not support each other.

However, they deliberately condone civilians and deserters to flee, instead of chasing and killing them, so as to reduce resistance.

The first main goal is the city lord's mansion, and the goal is to complete the beheading operation.Then there is the wealthy district in the city - most of the nobles live here.These nobles basically have some private soldiers, and they may even be very elite.

The main battle is now taking place in the wealthy district.The dragon people eradicated the human resistance one by one mansion by mansion.Although it doesn't look fast, the pace is very solid and stable.Basically, it is to fight a war of annihilation with superior forces.

Due to the dragon people's use of air superiority to divide, the human side cannot support each other, nor can they retreat, so there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle.

If forced to retreat or support, the loss will only be greater.Because the dragonman's throwing gun is weak against buildings, but it is too deadly against humans on the street.No shield or armor can stop a spear thrown from the air.

In fact, if you calculate carefully, the number of dragon people is not very large, that is, less than two thousand in the early one thousand.But because of the flight, it was simply a mass of dark clouds, and people who watched it were terrified.

All in all, dragon people are very methodical in their tactics, they know exactly what to do and how to do it.Anyone can see that if there is no additional force to join, then the human side will lose.

"It's almost there," Zhang Cheng watched as the dark cloud made up of dragon people was shifting direction... The suppression of the rich district was over.The flames over there are soaring into the sky, and the mansions in the entire wealthy district should be burning in the flames.Along with this flame, almost all nobles in Lulian City were wiped out.

The dragon people began to turn their attention to the barracks.

The military camp is not very far from the temple where Zhang Cheng is at the moment, so it is easy to detect the dragon man's aerial movements.

In fact, a small group of troops suppressed the barracks from the very beginning.In the face of the enemy's air superiority, humans have no good way to do it, they can only fight back with weapons such as muskets and crossbows.Although it is said that a few dragonmen can be killed, they are always suppressed and there is not much achievement.

Now that there are more dragons, things become more dangerous.

The musketeers and crossbowmen suffered heavy losses, and the roar of muskets could be heard before, but now the gunfire has become more and more sparse.

Some dragonmen have already landed on the ground, and they are obviously rushing into buildings.It is only a matter of time before the human race is defeated.

And once the human garrison on the barracks is defeated, it will be the beginning of a battle royale.

With two legs, human beings are absolutely unable to outrun dragonmen who can fly.Regardless of the fact that most of the residents in the city have fled the city at this moment, most of them will not be able to escape the next pursuit of the dragon people.

There are only a dozen people in Zhang Cheng's group. If they want to attack the dragon people, they will only pay themselves in vain.Instead, it is time to seize the horses in the barracks (the dragon people have a high probability of ignoring the stables).

"Let's start." Zhang Cheng said to everyone.

He stayed where he was, while Baron Nomudane followed the alcoholic priest named Payne and several others to the central hall of the temple.Here, the statue of the Supreme Father stands. He is described as a brave and resolute old man in armor, facing all living beings with a disdainful attitude.

Here the drunken priest prayed to the High Father, explaining to him the situation: the dragonmen raided, and the city was at stake.Only a hero like Baron Nomodamen can save the city at this moment.And the city has no owner, so I request that this hero be canonized as the local lord in the name of the Supreme Father.

The god statue would not have any reaction: now the human gods, including the Supreme Father, are all in the state of divine descent, which is the weakest state.In this situation, even the clergy are difficult to control.But perhaps this raid of the dragonmen was highly concerned by the High Father, because at this time, the surface of the idol suddenly shimmered, frightening the alcoholic priest to stop his prayers coherently.

But the idol also glows slightly, signifying that the Supreme Father has received this prayer.

In the name of the High Father, a new Earl of Lulian City takes office.Since he did not come from a prominent family, he could take the name of the fief itself as his surname, or he could simply be called Count Lulian.
