“They can know.”

Although he didn't understand what was in Gu Xi's mind, Rhine still spoke up at the first opportunity.

“Okay, you must find a way to let the troops still alive in the city know that if they continue to fight like this, they will be finished in two to three hours.

Once we take this city, it will be time to attack the castle on the hill."

After hearing what Gu Xi said, Rhine thought about it and understood what Gu Xi meant.

"Sir, do you want to lure out the guards in the castle to fight?"

"It's always a good idea to give it a try, just in case they run away."

Although Gu Xi didn't know whether this plan was feasible, it was clear that the battle would still have to last for two hours. This was not a difficult task and could be accomplished quickly as long as one was willing.

If successful, it would become much easier to attack the castle on the mountain later.

"I understand, sir. Please wait a moment."

Gu Xi nodded, took another look at the situation in the city, and began to release the liches.

The appearance of each group of liches means that the time for the city to be captured will be advanced.

As groups of liches were sent out, some liches also began to head out of the city.

The city before us could be taken quickly, and in the end only a castle would remain in the kingdom.

So Gu Xi had to make some preparations in advance. After all, in addition to destroying the country, the mission also required dragging the entire kingdom to the underworld.

For things like this, Gu Xi can directly use the power of the Nether Spirit Flower to do it.

But Gu Xi knew very well that the key to binding the Nether Spirit Flower lay here.

There is a difference between whether he controls the Nether Spirit Flower to do this, or the Nether Spirit Flower controls him to do this.

What Gu Xi wants is complete control over the Nether Spirit Flower.

Instead of being transformed by the Dark Spirit Flower, it finally becomes what the Dark Spirit Flower wants.

So it’s okay to do tasks, but you must have your own ideas and ways of dealing with them.

The Dead Wizard's force field can be used right now, so Gu Xi naturally cannot waste it.

Rhine, who retreated back to the battlefield, has also assigned the task. Although it has not been long, the news that the city is about to be captured has already spread.

The guards in the city are not stupid. Of course they will look at the current situation. Now one third of the city has been taken.

With this pace of time, two hours is still a high estimate. In their opinion, I'm afraid I can't last even an hour.

"How to do?"

For a moment, all the commanders were thinking about this matter.

Or ask for help.

The number of troops on their side is actually not that large. It includes normal night watchmen, patrols returning to the city, guards in the city, and militia organizations in the city. In fact, these people are less than the previous city.

This is easy to understand. The previous city was isolated for them, but behind the city in front of them is the king's castle.

The king's guards, the knights, the regular army and so on all stayed in the castle. If anything happened, they just had to ask the king to send troops.

But now, the commanders hesitated.

Is it feasible to ask the King's Guard to send troops at this time?
They did not lead Gu Xihui to carry out tactics such as besieging a point and attacking its reinforcements.

After all, Gu Xi's look at the moment showed that he had no intention of surrounding them and not fighting, but wanted to kill them directly.

Their current thought is, if they ask for help, will the king send troops?

At this juncture, none of them were in the mood to guess what the king was thinking.

They just want to survive.

The king in the flower castle has also seen what is happening in the city below.

As the Black Blood Knights and the Undead Servant entered the city, the king saw purple petals floating in the sky above the city like butterflies.

Only the king can see these petals, because the strange flower the king used to change his body has this color and shape.

At the same time, he is the only one who can see it.

Looking at the petals flying in the sky above the city, the king's expression turned quite ugly.

He remembered that he had retrieved all the seeds.

He also ordered that no flowers should be planted in the city ahead.

This is to prevent someone from secretly leaving seeds and ruining his plan.

But what is the situation now?

This body is obviously only in its twenties and can be used for at least another fifty years, until all the generations have died and everyone has forgotten about this matter.

How could the situation become like this? How could someone use the power of this flower?

Thinking of this, the king's expression became quite solemn.

He stood up and prepared to go to the basement of the flower castle, where the flower given to him was stored, as well as the seeds that had been collected.

But just as the king was about to go down, the Minister of War arrived.

“Your Majesty, I’m afraid that Green Leaf City won’t be able to hold out for much longer. In two hours at most, Green Leaf City will be taken over.

We have lost hope.

Your Majesty, please do not act rashly. It is too late for us to send troops now."

"I understand. There is nothing for you to do here. Go and organize the troops and do a good job of defending the Flower Fort."

The king also knew that the cities below were beyond saving, so he would not send out his limited military forces.

The key is to defend the flower fort.

In the king's mausoleum behind the Flower Castle, there are dozens of generations of kings. These are the king's confidence.

Sending troops to rescue those civilians is really overthinking.

The king now had only one idea, which was to go to the basement to check on his flowers to see if there was anything wrong with them and why so many of the same petals appeared at the same time.

After saying this, the king turned and left.

The Minister of War was also a little embarrassed, but it was good that the King was willing to listen to advice.

As long as they don't send out troops, they can still hold out for a while.

So the Minister of Military Affairs turned around and went out, ready to give orders.

But at this moment, heavy footsteps were heard outside.

"My Lord, something terrible has happened."

The Minister of Military Affairs was speechless upon hearing this. What could be more important than defending the city right now?

"Is there anything that can't wait until I finish arranging things?"

"Sir, something serious has happened. The troops in the castle have mutinied. About half of the soldiers have left the city and are heading towards Green Leaf City."

"What did you say? Are they crazy?"

The Minister of War jumped up when he heard this. "Don't they know we need people now?"

"The problem is that there is a massacre going on in Green Leaf City. Those are the relatives of the soldiers. They can't stand it anymore."

Hearing this, the Minister of War didn't know what to say.

At this time, Gu Xi's plan was considered successful.

The arrangement he made just now was not based on the king or the high officials' sudden change of mind, but on the hearts of the people.

Although the result is not perfect, it does work to some extent, doesn’t it?
