Carry the Ring of Elden with you

Roland actually believed most of the news told by the businessman, but he was still a little confused as to why reinforcements from the Charles Empire could arrive so quickly.After all, with the help of Yaqir and the Troll Knights, he broke through the wall of Pulin City very quickly.If the normal siege time and soldiers were used, when reinforcements from the Charles Empire arrived tomorrow, the Allied forces might not have even entered Pulin City.

Then the situation of the Allied forces will become very dangerous.

Therefore, the Charles Empire must have known early on that the Allied forces would attack Pulin City, so they deliberately transferred the dragon knights originally stationed in Pulin City, so that when the Allied forces attacked the city, they would not be frightened by the dragon knights and dare not attack. Just withdraw your troops and run away.

It can only be said that the Charles Empire did not expect that the Golden Dynasty would also participate in this Allied military operation.

But this time, the Holy Empire of France arranged the Allied Forces' military operation to attack Pulin City and did a good job of keeping it secret. At least judging from the news from [Death Sleeping Girl] Fia, who is still in the capital of the Holy Empire of France, The residents of the city did not know that their empire was preparing for a general offensive in cooperation with the Allied forces.

Then there is only one possibility, and that is that someone among the powerful leaders of the Holy Empire of France "betrayed" their own due to some kind of interests and "sold" this operation to the Charles Empire.

But why did Charles' empire want to eat this confederate army?What impact will their escape have?Roland frowned and thought quickly in his mind.

A map emerged from his memory. Roland calculated bit by bit the situation of the war between the Charles Empire and the Holy Empire of France after the Allies were eliminated. An attack route looked like this on the map that emerged in his mind. conspicuous.

If the Allied forces in Pulin City are destroyed here... The Charles Empire can pass through the direction in which the Allied forces came, and directly go around to the side of the main army of the Holy Empire of France that is currently advancing towards the hinterland of the Charles Empire!If the support army came out from the side when the battle between the two sides was in full swing, the main army of the Holy Empire of France would definitely be defeated.

So that's it.Roland finally felt a lot more comfortable after clarifying the doubts in his heart, otherwise he would have always thought that the Emperor of Judah was sick again and took the opportunity to come over and give him a tug.

Although it won't lead to being beaten to death, it is really annoying to keep doing this.

"Well, Lord Roland? Do you think this news can buy my life and the lives of my wife and daughter?" The businessman saw that Roland was silent, and his expression sometimes tightened his brows and sometimes relaxed and nodded. He felt a little uneasy and unsure about the theoretical situation in front of him. What is the man who was the first president of the Lulan Chamber of Commerce thinking?

Roland was brought back to his senses by the businessman's voice. He glanced at the businessman with an embarrassed smile and said with a playful expression: "Well, this news is indeed useful."

Before the happy smile appeared on the merchant's face, Roland was thrown into the abyss by what he said next: "But it's not enough to buy the lives of your whole family. Well, let me think about it, this news can buy the lives of your wife and eldest daughter. . I am true to my word, so I will let him go."

Then Roland pointed at the merchant's charming and mature wife and young and beautiful eldest daughter. The exiled soldier escorting them behind them immediately put the long sword in his hand back into its scabbard, pulled them up to stand, and was about to pull them away.

The exiled soldier responsible for guarding the little daughter was not idle either, and continued to slash downward with the sharp sword in his hand.

"Mom and dad, save me!!" The little daughter was so frightened that she closed her eyes and screamed, crying emotionally.

The businessman also turned pale with horror and shouted: "Don't kill her, don't kill her!! I can still help! I still have something to say!"

Roland waved his hand, and the executioner's movements immediately stopped.

"Husband! Husband! Save my daughter." The wife said helplessly with a panicked and pale face. Then she struggled to break away from the exiled soldier and knelt on the ground, but failed because the latter was too strong and made a rather funny posture. , begged Roland: "Lord Roland, please, my daughter is only 13 years old and doesn't know anything."

Then the wife remembered something and cried while shouting: "Exchange my life for hers, please, Lord Roland. My daughter really doesn't know anything, she is innocent."

"Madam, when I was killed 35 years ago, there was a boy named 'Qatar' who loved to study who was with me. He was also innocent." Roland looked at the businessman's wife and said, then shook his head: "Forget it. It has nothing to do with you, and you don’t understand it either.”

Then he looked at the businessman and said: "Speak quickly, what else have you not said? This is the last chance. Aren't you a businessman? I once said to Lu Yi that businessmen should be able to speak well so that customers will buy. Your account. Let me hear if what you have to say will tempt me to buy your life and that of your little girl."

Facing Roland's questioning, the businessman broke out in cold sweat. He felt that this was the most difficult customer to serve in his life.The businessman was wailing in his heart why this Roland's character was completely different from the information collected before.

"I know a small road that can bypass the guards of the defenders and enter the center of the city. But the number of people cannot be large. You can only bring up to 5 people, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered by the defenders." The businessman said in a voice that was about to cry: "I am willing to take you there myself, I just ask you to let my family go first."

After Roland heard the news, he immediately raised his head and looked at Edgar who was standing aside. Edgar happened to also look at Roland, and the two nodded.

Although the limit of five people does not seem to be much, the strength of the homeless knights under his command is far beyond ordinary people.If there is no problem with the path mentioned by the businessman, carefully arranging the selection of these five people can play a decisive role.

Roland looked at the nervous businessman again and smiled happily: "Congratulations, I bought you and your daughter's life. I can see that Lu Yi taught her well and you learned well. I am very satisfied with this deal. "

When the businessman heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was about to escape from the void.If the exiled soldier hadn't been tugging on his back collar, the businessman would have collapsed on the cold ground.

"Bring this businessman's wife and daughter to our resting place and keep them under strict guard." Roland ordered the three exiled soldiers. Then he looked at the businessman who looked a little panicked and said, "Don't be nervous. Wait until the generals are captured." Naturally, they will let your family leave when they arrive in Lingcheng. Now there are not only the Golden Dynasty’s troops in the Xicheng District. You also saw the residents on the streets outside, right? They came here to avoid the soldiers of Gunther Kingdom. Weren't you also caught by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Austin when you brought your wife and daughter out? With the appearance of your wife and daughter, I'm afraid that they will be raped by the soldiers of the Gunther Kingdom within a few steps of letting them go out."

"You are a businessman of the Lulan Chamber of Commerce and the branch president of a city. You must have read what the Lu Yi woman recorded about me. Although I don't know how she will arrange me, I can assure you that I will not offend. Kill the donkey." Roland approached the businessman, patted his cheek that was red from the cold and said, "And I also want you to help me bring a few words to Lu Yi, a woman who likes to betray, so I will definitely not let him. You're dead."

The businessman asked tremblingly: "What message do you want me to bring to President Lu Yi?"

"What did you say? Well, let me think about it." Roland thought for a moment, then said with a smile that looked very scary to the businessman: "Just say 'I will visit you personally soon'. Can you remember this sentence?"

The businessman was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly: "Remember, remember."

After the merchant was taken down by the exiled soldiers to rest for a while, Edgar came over and asked, "Lord Roland, what do you think of the trail the merchant mentioned?"

Roland nodded: "I already have a candidate in mind. According to the merchant, the trail can only allow up to five people. Excluding the merchant who leads the way, there are only four places. And the other party has a legendary mage in the general's mansion. If we don't deal with this mage, the Allied forces will definitely pay a lot of casualties when they attack the central area of ​​the city later. So the purpose of entering the city center through the trail this time is to behead the enemy's legendary mage and General Lu Si'en who is in charge."

"I have already heard from Rodia about how to break the magic barrier, so among these four people, I will definitely arrange for Rodia to be in the team. The second step is to select the two most powerful homeless knights to join the team. . As for the last candidate..." Roland looked at Melina, who had never left his sight since she was summoned, and gave her a smile: "The last candidate is you, Melina. I want you to deal with that legendary mage."

Melina also smiled and nodded silently.

Chapter 93: Let’s watch the meteor shower together

The dark and narrow tunnel that only allowed two people to pass side by side was suddenly illuminated by a beam of blue light, causing the small creatures that originally lived in the darkness to scatter and hide their bodies in the gaps between the walls.

Then there was the sound of heavily armored footsteps "katakata" stepping on the stone slab that had not been taken care of for a long time. The lost knight White carefully raised the lost knight shield in his hand and walked in front.The sword of the lost knight that he was good at using had not been drawn out, and he held a good-quality dagger in his other hand.

After all, it would be very inconvenient to wield a sword if you encounter an enemy in this small space.

Another homeless knight, Harold, also stood at the end of this team. She and White helped the three people in the center of the team one after another.

"You can go directly to the underground warehouse of the Lulan Chamber of Commerce in the central area of ​​the city when you walk out from here." The businessman leading the way pointed at the tunnel that had not been cleaned for a long time and said, his voice causing subtle echoes in the tunnel.

The businessman looked back a little worried, fearing that soldiers from Pulin City would secretly follow him on the way around the entrance with these people.

Rodia, the pyroxene mage from the Kallia royal family, wears starlight magic on his head. The blue light is emitted by the starlight on his head. The bright light makes his pyroxene stone cover look a bit weird. .

Melina put up her hood to hide her face, nodded slightly, and made no other response to the merchant's words.

To be honest, she was a little surprised that Roland asked her to perform the beheading operation this time. After all, she was just responsible for following Roland most of the time.

But for Roland, Melina can be regarded as the strongest combat power he can currently use.

Knowing that the enemy had a legendary mage and was preparing to use mass destruction spells, Roland could not stupidly let the enemy general complete his plan.

As the saying goes, if the enemy wants to accomplish something, I have to stop him to make it easier for him.And this was also done to reduce the casualties suffered by the Allied forces when they attacked later.

Don't misunderstand that this is because Roland is concerned about these allies, and he is keeping them to fight against the coming reinforcements from the Charles Empire.Although it is not expected that these allies can defeat the subsequent allies, they can at least take part of the opponent's energy and prevent the opponent from focusing all their attention on Roland's army and causing excessive casualties to their own soldiers.

To sum it up simply, these allies are kept as cannon fodder.

Four of the five people in the group covered their faces, which made the only businessman who didn't cover his face shudder. He stopped talking and continued to move forward.

The tunnel was neither long nor short, and it soon came to an end.The tunnel that the businessman said did not encounter any ambush, except that some rats that originally lived in it were scared and ran away.

After the businessman opened a door lock with a key, the five people arrived at the underground warehouse of the Lulan Chamber of Commerce in Puling City.

"This is the underground warehouse of the Lulan Chamber of Commerce." The merchant swallowed nervously and said: "Before the attack, the operation here stopped and the door was closed. The merchants of the Chamber of Commerce also returned to their homes, leaving only a few jobs. Personnel are responsible for guarding this passage. It’s just me and the branch president.”

The environment of the underground warehouse basically proved that what the merchant said was true. It was filled with various sealed goods, and the five people standing inside even felt a little crowded.

"Are you saying there are still staff on duty outside?" White's face under the armor frowned.

The businessman immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Knight, I will go out and order those employees to go back, and I will never find you."

Just as White nodded and wanted to say something, his tone suddenly changed. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Someone broke in outside. The footsteps were soldiers."

The businessman's face suddenly turned pale, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Eh? I didn't tell the truth! Sirs, you have to believe me! How can I tell you when my wife and daughter are at your place?"

The merchant became more and more anxious as he spoke, and the footsteps outside were now loud enough for him to hear them.

"Master White, what should we do now?" Harold, another homeless knight, also chose to draw his dagger and came to White's side and asked.

White glanced at the businessman who was about to cry, and said to Harold: "Let's retreat to the tunnel first, and make sure to ensure the personal safety of Ms. Melina and Master Rodia."

Then White grabbed some helpless businessman and patted his cheek to bring him back to his senses: "Hey, listen, I believe you are not the kind of man who casually sacrifices the lives of his wife and children. You first clear the tunnel Open it, let’s go in and hide to see what happened.”

"Okay, okay." The businessman nodded quickly and opened the hidden tunnel door again, and the five people immediately hid in it.Then the door closed automatically and fit perfectly with the floor, making it impossible to tell that there was a secret door.

Soon, the door to the underground warehouse of the Lulan Chamber of Commerce was opened, and Pulin City soldiers cursed and roughly pushed several employees with frightened faces in.

One of the leading soldiers pointed to the goods sealed in the underground warehouse, especially the valuables, and said, "Isn't there a lot of stuff here? Do you dare to lie to me and say that there is no good stuff left in the Chamber of Commerce?"

The employees of Lulan Chamber of Commerce lowered their heads and did not dare to answer.

"Talk, talk. Yes, it's you. Didn't you have a loud voice just now? What are you telling me? Everything here belongs to the Lulan Chamber of Commerce. Why are you pretending to me?" The leading soldier grabbed a young male employee and knifed him. He hit his head with the handle and cursed unhappily: "I tell you, during the war, everything in Pulin City belongs to our Pulin City army. Do you understand?"

The employee's head was hit with the handle of the knife and blood flowed down his forehead, but he did not dare to say anything and nodded and begged for mercy: "I know, I know."

Hearing the employee's words of resignation, the leading soldier loosened his collar and pushed back. The employee fell to the ground, and the people nearby did not dare to come over to see how serious his colleague's injury was.

"Brothers, move all valuable things away!" The leading soldier waved his hand, and more Pulin City soldiers immediately poured in from the door behind him and moved all the things in the warehouse away with a smile.

White, who was hiding in the secret door, kept listening to the movements above. Some dust fell on everyone because of the movements. He did not retreat from the secret door until he could no longer hear the sound at all.

"We were not exposed. It was just soldiers from Pulin City who came to loot the Lulan Chamber of Commerce." White also breathed a sigh of relief.Although these soldiers would not cause trouble to himself and others, exposing himself would make it difficult to carry out the subsequent beheading act, so White was quite worried about his group being discovered just now.

White even thought in his mind that if he was discovered, he would kill these soldiers as quickly as possible, and then rush all the way to the general's palace while the defenders in the center of the city did not react.

The businessman was relieved after hearing what White said. He was really afraid that the knight in shining armor in front of him would think that he was a whistleblower and would be executed by him without saying anything.

The secret door of the underground warehouse was reopened, and Melina and her party walked out again.

Different from the previous scene of piles of sealed items, the current underground warehouse can be said to be a mess. The ground is littered with things that the soldiers of Puling City have randomly discarded and considered to be worthless. The merchants’ hearts are bleeding as they look at this. How big is the loss.

But it was a lot better for White and Harold. The two homeless knights wearing full body armor could finally move around in a more spacious place. At the same time, their weapons were replaced by the swords of the homeless knights and the daggers. Put the sword back into its scabbard.

White called to the businessman who was mentally counting the losses and said, "Go and attract the employees who are still staying in this chamber of commerce, and then you can go back."

"Uh, don't you need me to guide you here to retreat from this tunnel?" the businessman asked subconsciously.

White shook his head: "No, I will kill you with one strike in this operation, and I don't need you to lead the retreat. Just save your own life and bring Lord Roland's words to the woman who betrayed him."

The specific arrangements for this operation will definitely not be disclosed to the businessman. Roland arranged for Yakir to pick up White and others.

It's more of a support than a guide.More specifically, after Yakir saw that the magic barrier outside the general's palace was destroyed by Rodia using pyroxene magic, he would immediately rush down to help Melina and the others.

Then Roland would directly order his soldiers to attack and shout "Lu Si En is dead" to disrupt the morale of the enemy defenders.

The businessman nodded and was about to open the door of the underground warehouse and go out, but Melina stopped the businessman.

When Melina faced other people, her voice was not as gentle as it was with Roland.Although her words were very polite, her tone became cold: "Please wait a moment, I also have something to ask you to bring to the woman named Lu Yi."

When mentioning the word "Lu Yi", Melina's pronunciation was deliberately accentuated. She took off her hood and smiled politely at the businessman: "Just tell her that as a betrayer, I will personally defend her." Deliver your destined death.”

The businessman quickly smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, I understand."

After Rodia heard what Melina called out to the merchant, he glanced at Melina, who exuded a low-pressure aura, shook the glowing stone mask and said: "Well, in that case, I will ask you to help bring one." That’s good.”

Ah, are you coming again?The businessman kept complaining in his heart, but on the surface he still acted like he was listening.

"Please inform your guild president that the moon princess 'Rani' from the royal family of Caria has informed the traitor Lu Yi. Soon the army from Caria will set foot on her country, under the light of the dark moon. Bring her judgment." Rodya gracefully performed a mage's etiquette and said.

Melina looked back at Rodia: "Is the magician of the Kaliya royal family now able to send messages on behalf of his princess?"

Rodia replied politely: "I don't dare. It's just that we were ordered by Princess Lani not to let Prince Roland's son-in-law suffer any injustice here."

The businessman was worried about his chairman.President, how many horrible guys have you provoked?

As for White and Harold, they were not interested in the conversation between Melina and Rodia, so White coughed slightly and interrupted the friendly exchange between Melina and Rodia: "Please complete Lord Roland's Let’s discuss these things after the mission.”

Pulin City, the central area of ​​the city.

Since most of the defenders were sent by Lu Si'en to defend the Allied forces in the direction of Xicheng District and Beicheng District, and the remaining soldiers were also arranged to expropriate private houses, there were not many soldiers on guard on the streets from Lulan Chamber of Commerce to the General's Mansion. During the patrol, White and the others easily arrived at a house near the General's Mansion and took cover.

Perhaps Lu Si'en felt that he would not be assassinated if he stayed in the general's palace protected by the barrier, so the security force was so lax.Moreover, there is also the legendary mage Anthony in the house. Whose assassin is so obsessed with it that he comes to assassinate him.

As a member of Charles's empire, he usually saw from the reports which country His Majesty Judah's shadow assassinated someone, and he would never have thought that someone would specifically assassinate him.My country is used to being domineering, so Lu Si'en doesn't have this awareness at all.

But these people sent by Roland not only smashed Lu Si En's turtle shell, but also the legendary mage.

White looked at Melina, Rodia and Harold, and told them the assassination plan: "After Master Rodia uses pyroxene magic to destroy the spell barrier, Harold and I will rush into the general's mansion. Create a bigger commotion to attract the attention of the guards. At this time, please take the opportunity, Miss Melina, to sneak into the general's mansion and assassinate the mission target."

After seeing the three people nodding, White looked at Rodia: "Then I'll leave it to you, Master Rodia."

Rodia nodded happily: "Leave it to me."

The pyroxene magician who was loyal to the royal family of Calia raised the staff in his hand. The azure light covered the entire room, and the magic runes condensed on the wooden floor became the holy emblem of Rhea Lucalia Academy.

[Pyroxene Magic - Realm of Magic]: The magic circle of the academy can be drawn on the ground, and the characters in the magic circle can increase the power of magic.

There are also black magic patterns here.jpg

Rodia felt the ether cheering in his body, and began to wave his staff to cast another pyroxene magic, the most difficult magic taught in the Olivias classroom.

——[Meteor Shower]

Rodia felt the ether being crazily squeezed out of his body, and the look under the cover of Olivenis' pyroxene stone shouted enthusiastically: "Come on, people from other worlds! See the power of the pyroxene stone derived from the amber of the starry sky!"

Different from the six weak-looking meteor showers in the game, there is a huge blue magic circle emerging in the sky above the General's Mansion. Roland can also see this magic circle as far away as Xicheng District.

The Pulin City soldiers who saw this magic circle fled back to the magic barrier of the General's Mansion.They didn't think the sudden appearance of the magic circle was a joke.

"The enemy mages have invaded the General's Mansion!!! Protect General Lu Si'en!!" An alarm sounded in the General's Mansion.

The legendary mage Anthony immediately appeared in the garden of the General's Mansion, feeling the ether in the air with a solemn expression.

He immediately chanted high-level thunder magic to fight against it, because Anthony's intuition told him that the mage barrier could not swallow up and resist this magic that he had never seen before.

At this time, the huge pyroxene magic array in the sky and the azure blue magic gravel formed by six huge ethers swayed their tails. In the frightened eyes of the Pulin City soldiers on the ground, they seemed like real meteors from outside the star, falling towards the protection. The mage barrier surrounding the General's Mansion and nearby buildings.

Suddenly, the earth screamed and the whole city trembled.
