Blood Dragon

Chapter 250 five benevolence

"Even if Lord Bloodfang makes a request, Luo Jin may not necessarily agree." Ma knew his opponent very well. "He is a perfectionist...all the believers of Nurgle are like this. Especially in this kind of thing, as long as he feels that it is not perfect enough, he will not accept the order of Lord Bloodfang...Even if Lord Bloodfang is the supreme commander .”

Another reason is because Luo Jin controls the Chaos Eggs of Khorne one by one.Luo Jin is a smart person, he will never show up in front of Lord Bloodfang with this thing.Of course, on the other hand, he would not easily give up such a useful guard.

But this reason need not be said.

"Master, but maybe we can take this opportunity to know where Rokin is." The servant suggested. "We just need some clever ... channeling techniques."

"Okay." A smile appeared on the corner of Ma's mouth. "I'll leave this matter to you. See Lord Bloodfang in my name. If this is done, it will be a credit to you."

……

Countess Marianne was sitting at her easel, with paint in one hand and brush in the other.

She was faced with an almost completely finished painting, a portrait of a man.A man stands in the street, dressed in armor, holding a helmet in one hand, a shield in the other, and a sword hanging from his waist.Beside the man are facilities on the battlefield such as cannons and repelling horses. In a further place, you can see the city gate.

The painting is now almost complete.Almost all the details that need to be depicted are depicted, including some dents on the armor shield, blood stains, everything is meticulous and extremely detailed.If anything is missing, the man's face has never been drawn.

The paintbrush in Aunt Mary's hand was pointing to the blank face of the man, and it was obvious that she intended to draw the face of the character.But for some reason, her paintbrush was always hanging in the air, but could not fall down.In fact, if one were to observe her face closely, one would notice that her eyes were not focused on the canvas.

When did things start... getting out of hand?

By the way, it seems that there have been some signs a long time ago, maybe this day will come sooner or later.After all, the other party is the queen.The will of kingship cannot be resisted by a little trick or trick.And all this without the Queen herself being involved.In fact, the queen only needs a hint, and someone will naturally handle everything for her—you must know that those who are eager to please the little queen may easily form a legion.

And, long before Scadella came to the door, there were enough signs to hint at this situation.Among other things, the one in the palace gave her obvious hints.Not just that one, Aunt Mary has had enough information from some of her "old friends".There has been a noticeable change in the attitudes of many.Her original plan may become meaningless.Sure enough, I still couldn't handle this matter well.What went wrong?Did I choose the wrong method?Avoiding the difficult little queen herself, and attacking the wider aristocratic social circle... Is it wrong?When did it become like this?

No, you can't say it's wrong, it all started... by asking him to go to Falcon City to earn a knight title.Sure enough, am I too stupid?At that time, there were obviously other choices... No, it should be said that a lie is a lie.Facts will always rise before the world, and it would be futile to suppress it with all the dirt in the world.

Aunt Mary's heart was surging, and the brush in her hand trembled slightly.At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The old woman got up and opened the door.It was one of her servants who came—today was the day when the queen and Belleel had a formal meeting, and she specially sent the servant to inquire about the news.The results of such discussions are not deliberately kept secret, so it only takes a little patience and skill (and maybe a little money) to find out.

"How is the situation? Has the agreement been successfully concluded?" Aunt Mary returned to her normal expression in front of the servant.

The servant told the truth.Things went even smoother than expected. In fact, before his return, Belle had already signed an agreement in black and white on behalf of Tiberius.Ashurfat was elected as the commander of the coalition, and Belle as the deputy general.In addition, the two sides also reached agreement on other aspects.Although some details (such as military pay, subsidies, and pensions) are a little surprising, overall there is nothing too unexpected.

In a word: The troubles of the followers of Chaos have not affected the friendship between the two countries. Now, the two countries will form a coalition to fight against the invading Chaos Legion.According to ordinary people's understanding, the two countries combined have an army of [-], while the number of Chaos Legion is no more than [-] at most, and they have already consumed a huge amount of strength in the siege battle.In addition, one of the coalition forces is the well-received and well-known contemporary general Beller.According to normal logic, the chances of victory in this war are certain.

"Well... Ashurfat has become a general." The old woman didn't know whether she should be happy or disappointed.With this identity, the previous public opinion turmoil can no longer hurt him in the slightest, but on the other hand, he has also become more distant.

……

"Well, Ashurfat has become the general of the coalition?" Essien sighed slightly.He picked up the wine bottle from the table, "Another glass?" The wine they were drinking now was not the kind of common wine in the pub.The date on the bottle recorded an ancient vintage, and this kind of thing can only come from a private cellar-Essien got it from the cellar of a nobleman's castle.

"Okay." Cleo didn't object at all to having a few more sips of such delicious wine. "Just learned."

"It's good to have a magician," Essien sighed softly.At least, relying on magic communication, he can easily understand the movements in Falcon City.Although Essien's location is a bit far away from Falcon City at this time, he knew what happened in the afternoon at dusk.

There is no suspense about the outcome of the civil war.Essien's army is not only getting bigger, but more importantly, there is a group of magicians provided by the church.At the beginning, the church chose to stand, and the armies of both sides of the civil war lacked magical support, but the situation is completely different now.Essien has five magicians who serve him, and he can even communicate with Falcon City magically when he is free.And his enemies had nothing.The surrounded castle is cut off from the outside world.

"By the way, Essien, are you unwilling to launch an offensive?"

"Offensive? Me? I don't need it for now." Essien replied lazily.He turned his head and glanced outside the big tent door, and with the brilliance of the setting sun, he could see the castle in the distance.This is a fortress-type castle, strong and dangerous, with a complete range of defense equipment.In addition, according to intelligence and battlefield observations, there are about [-] soldiers gathered in the castle, with a posture of fighting to the end.

A distant voice could be heard faintly. It was the loud voice of the soldiers specially selected by Essien from the entire army, announcing the queen's policy to the rebels in the city.

"Only punish the chief evildoer...the threat will not be punished...resist to the end...a dead end..."

"Catch the traitor... meritorious service and no crime... bounty and knighthood..."

"Essien, although I don't know anything about the military, but... what do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, I just want to avoid a meaningless battle." Essien replied. "Cleo, you know, sometimes fighting is very important, and sometimes fighting is meaningless. Take this situation for example." He pointed to the castle in the distance. "To be honest, you, me, the people in the city, or anyone else, knows the outcome of the battle. They have no hope of winning. The suspense is not the outcome of the battle, but how much they will cause our army casualties, no?"

"I don't object to this. However, Earl Lamas intends to fight you to the end! He has decided that surrender will not end well. Maybe our method of dealing with Duke Aditya is too vicious, so he is determined to rely on his own family The castle is fighting to the last stand." Creo paused. "This is the first resistance we have encountered since we defeated Duke Aditya more than a month ago."

As Essien had guessed, the ensuing battle went very smoothly due to the use of traitors to easily capture the fortified city defended by Duke Adiyas a month ago.In fact, those are hardly battles anymore.Essien divided his forces and attacked, and those lords who were listed as rebellious by the queen almost all accepted Essien's conditions-that is, a clever adaptation of the little queen's decree-handed over their castles, troops and those who could not bring The wealth that went away left with gold and silver.Rather than saying that it was a war against rebellion, it is better to say that it was just an armed parade.

Since defeating Duke Aditya, Earl Lamas is the first person who is determined to resist by force.Of course, Essien immediately led all his troops to surround the earl's castle.The latter obviously intends to rely on this strong castle and resist to the end.

After this series of battles or compromises, Essien's troops have been further expanded.This is also the benefit of civil war. Once the outcome is determined, the loser will rarely fight back.Soldiers who were captured or surrendered to the flag could easily be incorporated into the victor's army, and the general didn't need to worry too much about their loyalty.If it is a foreign war, there will be no such good things.

The soldiers with loud voices were still shouting, but the city seemed unresponsive.

"Cleo, Count Lamas, do you know him well?"

"Essien, I'm not a know-it-all. I don't know Earl Lamas, and I don't know much about him. The only thing I know is that he seems a little neurotic."

"Nervous? He is indeed a little nervous." With that said, Essien slowly took out a document from his pocket.That was the decree promulgated by the little queen, and there was a list of more than 500 great nobles who were listed as rebellious.A large part of it was ticked off by Essien - which means that the little queen's order has been implemented.After part of it was checked off, an extra cross was marked, which meant that the unfortunate lord adopted a wrong policy in the face of Essien's crusade, which resulted in his own death. "He only has [-] people, while our army is nearly [-]. No matter how strong this castle is... as long as you are prepared to attack the city and attack at any cost, he will definitely not be able to last for three days."

"What do you want?"

"I feel the need to show kindness if I can," Essien mused. "After we defeated Duke Aditya, we slaughtered all his family members, relatives, and buddies, and even flayed his skin for public display... This may be a bit too cruel. Now it is necessary to show our kindness."

"Didn't you say that only the most brutal methods can be used to deter these evil-minded nobles? Only in this way can they feel fear. I remember what you said."

"My dear Cleo, you don't understand war. There are some things that go too far."
