Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

"City Lord, the king is really strange... the wharf was not built outside the city, but was directly led into the city..." Tommy, the captain of the guard who was responsible for observing the enemy's situation, said suddenly, "The wharf was built directly in the city."

"Oh?" Harvey was a little surprised, but when he turned around, he felt that it was normal. After all, Jinhui City was in the central part of the continent where the situation was already peaceful and stable. In addition to the evil orcs that occasionally harassed in the northern border area, it can be said that the city has been built for more than a hundred years. Never experienced war.

In addition to being the royal capital of the Principal of St. Valen, it is almost twice as large as the "upgraded version" of Fengyuan City.

Moreover, St. Valen's previous Grand Dukes and the Glorious Church have a close relationship. They have always been crowned by the Pope to serve as the Grand Duke. The Glorious Cathedral in Jinhui City is the most magnificent building in the central part of the southern region, and its reputation is comparable to the holy city of Gores. The Cathedral of God.

But such a prosperous capital city that rarely experiences war and people live and work in peace and contentment, has repeatedly caused a corruption plague that spreads across the country, causing countless civilians to suffer unrestrained disasters, and then took the initiative to launch and cast the spells. The wars and conflicts between the people have suffered from heavy taxes and labor in the war with neighboring countries.

From the perspective of a spellcaster, Harvey naturally could not understand what the intention and purpose of St. Valen and the church were to join forces. He would not believe it in any way. of.

Only kings and grand dukes who stand in high positions of secular power will not be so foolish and pious.

Now, from the capital intelligence personnel, the Grand Duke, like Duke Ralph, was assassinated by the spellcaster. Harvey and Asdaren judged that the entire Jinhui City King might have completely fallen into the control of the church. Among them.

According to the agreement between the three chiefs of the Federation before sending troops, the purpose of Harvey's fantastic military operation was to capture Jinhui City as soon as possible and force the lords and princes of the country on the border to retreat to the capital without having to deal with the mortal army. The Federation of Mages can focus on dealing with pressure from the church.

But the chiefs also issued a serious reminder to Harvey that if Jinhui City could not be captured for a long time... within half a month, he might have to welcome the judges sent by the church from Goreth or Eisengard to assist. At that time, the Federation will not be able to pull out his hands to rescue him from both sides.

"Can't be able to attack for a long time? Within half a month?" Pierce sneered with a gloomy face. "Being attacked from both sides? Those mages from the Federation really put you down."

He clenched his fist and hammered it on his chest, knelt on one knee and asked Harvey, "Sir, please allow me to take command immediately. It will only take half a day after arriving in the capital at dawn... I will directly attack you. The gate of the royal capital."

Harvey also felt a little amused and said that the Federation would despise him... He dared to hand over such a heavy responsibility to attack a king, and said that he would pay attention to him... He was worried that he would fail in the war and fell into the siege of church reinforcements.

"There is no need to underestimate the enemy for the sake of arrogance. When you arrive outside the capital at dawn tomorrow, I want you to keep your troops still... just do one thing."

Pierce frowned and wondered, "What do you want me to do?"

"Knock on the door with a cannon."

...

The night was heavy, and the warships in the northern border were still driving at full speed on the Ralph River, more than ten miles away from the capital, a faster "special surprise soldier" had already arrived in the outskirts of Jinhui City in advance.

After completing the annihilation war against the Alva River, the ironclad ship temporarily landed on the dock to lay down a team of 50 blood warriors, and a special combat team led by Vaughn and Duff rode on an extremely fast off-road magic motorcycle. He arrived at the royal capital in a breeze and lightning.

They came to detect the situation in the capital and survey the battlefield terrain in advance... If necessary, they would also come into the city to meet with intelligence personnel to cooperate.

"Boss, there is a group of militia-like people outside the city gate, who seem to be busy transporting and burying something."

Vaughan nodded, "Are there soldiers stationed on the river bank?"

"It's also a militia. Like us, there's no armor. I think their weapons are not fully equipped, so many people carry a sharpened wooden spear."

Duff rubbed his hands and suggested enthusiastically: "How about we just practice our hands with these little mice? Crushing them to death is as simple as pinching an ant."

Vaughan immediately shook his head and refused, feeling something was wrong.

The news of Duke Ralph's death in battle had been deliberately passed back to the capital by them. Logically, the nobles of Jinhui City would set up defenses along the riverside where they entered the city to prevent the city lord's fleet from entering the capital directly.

Even if there is no heavy troops to intercept the river bank, there should be someone guarding the waterway gates entering the city, right? Isn’t these traditional means of aristocrats to fight against the enemy, a large number of crossbowmen and turbulent oil and wood, or even scattering machines to counterattack on the city wall?

But at the moment, the opponent seemed to have given up the terrain advantage of the first line of defense and retreated directly to the inner city to reserve a safe landing place for them. No matter how you look at it, it seems unreasonable.

"Wait a minute, after they leave in the second half of the night, we will see what traps these militia have landed on the river bank."

And things were indeed as Vaughn expected. After the civilians and soldiers left in the second half of the night, they sneaked on the river bank near the Shuilu City Gate and dug buckets of black encapsulated from the buried pits. powder.

"Wow! Dragon Flame Powder!" Duff widened his eyes and stuck out his tongue, "The nobles of the royal city have really invested a lot in order to resist our attack!"

The dragon flame powder made by the Alchemy Secret Society is complex in formula and expensive. It is not expensive to add a small amount of spell casting materials and magic ammunition, but in this way, the entire bucket is buried underground, and it is as rough as a "land mine". It is a waste of use.

Vaughan scratched his head and guessed, "I heard that when the spellcasters were expelled from St. Valen, the alchemists were also cruelly persecuted. It is estimated that these were confiscated by the church and the nobles... They must not know that they are really. The purpose of this will only be used as a simple detonator."

"Let's dig them out and take them away!"

Vaughan shook his head, "How can I take away so many hundreds of barrels? Take this information back... The city lord and commander naturally know how to deal with it."

Nympho

As soon as the sky was dawn, the soldiers on the wall of the capital immediately discovered dozens of thick white columnar smoke floating on the Ralph River in the distance - the mage lord from the northern border led his iron armored fleet to rush towards the capital. The swaying attacked.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

News of the discovery of the enemy quickly came back to the royal court in the inner city.

Archbishop St. Valen stood beside the throne with a gloomy face, looking at the miserable ministers and powerful people below.

"What are you panic?" He snorted coldly with great impatientness. "Our city wall is strong and sufficient troops. The only waterway gap has also laid a large amount of dragon flame powder. As long as the pagan fleet dares to pass through the water and land gates, we will immediately detonate and blow up the walls on both sides, and collapse his flagship Buried directly under a thousand pounds of gravel!”

As long as the king is held, the reinforcements sent from the Holy City will arrive at most ten days. At that time, he will see how the mortal soldiers under the wizard lord compete with the extraordinary warriors in the Holy City Judgment Army!

Before he could continue to scold these powerful ministers like headless flies, a dull rolling thunder suddenly came from the direction of the outer city in the distance, and a rumbling explosion occurred in the sky.

Soon, a cavalryman of the royal city guard rushed into the royal court and fell at the feet of the Archbishop.

"Master Bishop! No! They... did not enter the city directly from the waterway, but did not know what method they used to directly detonate the dragon flame powder buried on both sides of the river bank, and then exploded a section of the city wall. .”

What?

The nobles present took a breath of air conditioning.

"They... don't plan to enter the city directly from the waterway?" The Archbishop also swallowed his saliva with difficulty and asked in disbelief.

The knight said tremblingly: "The waterway has collapsed. They landed directly outside the city. Thousands of soldiers in black went around the land gate half an inside and set up a siege."

At this time, a high-level priest in white robe hurried in and handed a snow-white letter paper to the bishop. The envelope was also stamped with the unfamiliar emblem of the Union seal and the tower castle and the Venus shining shape. ——This mage lord from the North is clearly telling them that the attacking king was working with the Federation this time.

The bishop tore open the envelope with a stern face, unfolded the thin letter paper, and found that there was only an extremely simple, but extremely arrogant and dazzling word written in the common language of the Southern Kingdom.

"Open the door!"
