Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

"Leoric!" Blose stood in front of him with an excited expression.

"whats the matter?"

"That man is Targosus, right?"

Blosser's eyes were red, his voice was choked,

"That's the soul of the old king from 200 years ago, right?"

Leoric pondered for a while, then nodded.

Then, Blose said solemnly: "I can understand some ancient languages ​​of the plateau people, and I heard what he said..."

Startled, Leoric immediately said, "Stop!"

Blose understood, he kept those words in his heart, and then gave an ordinary military salute.

"Master Leoric..." He said with trembling lips, trying to suppress his voice, "I would like to serve you for the rest of my life, please give me this chance."

Leoric nodded and said, "Of course, Commander, you will be used more in the future."

The spring breeze blew across the land, dispelling a trace of blood; looking at the corpses all over the ground, the winner didn't have much joy in his heart, and the loser didn't feel much sadness in his heart, only the awe of life remained, and he was glad that he was still alive.The elves reorganized their troops, the barbarians were at a loss, and the people on the plateau looked at the wilderness in the north and imagined...

A crow landed on the Crow King's corpse, pecking at his dull eyes.

Leo Rui said loudly: "Okay, clean the battlefield and treat the wounded. I don't need to teach you how to do these things, do you?"

"Yes, my lord!"

……

Ten days after the end of the Wolf City battle, the Great Swamp, the Green Plains, and Wangbei City——

Wangbei City is the capital of the swamp, and it is also the main gathering place for people from the plateau.Although the prosperity of its city is not comparable to that of the rich Middle Earth, it is still a pearl in the mud in the swamp, and it is also a "colorful vortex".

Colorful swirls - this word is an allusion to the residents of the swamp. It is said that colorful swirls can always be seen on the ponds of the swamp.The ignorant fishermen will be attracted by the beauty, and they will prop up the bamboo raft to find out, and then a giant python with two heads or a dragon with long horns will appear in the whirlpool, devouring people in one bite.

The colorful swirls are the traps used by Warcraft to hunt animals, and later they are also used to describe those beautiful, attractive, but very deadly things.

Wangbei City is like this, it attracts everything around it, and devours everything greedily.Peasants came in with loads of rice, sugar, and linen, and walked out with sore shoulders and a few copper coins; young laborers came in with all their strength, but went out with a cane, so thin that only their bones remained; The beautiful girl came here to look for her prince, but she could only get an illegitimate child, and she didn't know who the father was.

When good people come in, they lose their goodness; when bad people come in, they are like ducks in water.When the poor come, they can suck the bone and suck the marrow; when the rich come, they can enjoy luxury and leave in style.

The big rich make the money of the little rich, and the little rich suck the blood of the common people. The common people look down on the poor, and the poor spit on the "despicable race" and curse: "Bah! Where are the bastards, get out of our city!"

Although there are "status pyramids" in every city, it is rare to see such a naked one like Wangbei City.

At five o'clock in the morning, there was a one-eyed newspaper boy running and shouting in the street.

"Good news, good news! Good news from the front line!"

The newsboy was a one-eyed man, small and thin, with gray-green skin and only one eye sticking out from his forehead.Legend has it that Cyclops are the descendants of Cyclops, but the barren swamps cannot support strong Cyclops, and some degenerate individuals among Cyclops have intercourse with goblins, so this kind of creature was born.

The status of the one-eyed man is inferior in the "despicable race", but it is not the worst, so he can still do "decent jobs" such as newsboys.

Every time he sells five newspapers, he can get a copper horn, ten copper horns are one copper plate (copper coin), and a few copper coins can eat a good meal with meat and wine.If a newspaper boy sells well in a day, he can earn three copper coins. Compared with his peers, this job is already considered a lucrative job.

However, it was too early to sell newspapers at five o'clock.The more prosperous the place, the more nightlife, and the later people get up.

The newsboy's voice was sharp and harsh, like a chicken that was stabbed but not dead, flapping its arms and making harsh sounds.He ran from the street to the alley, from the alley to the stairs, across bridges, squares, and new fairs, yelling.

Suddenly the window above his head opened, and a basin of cold water poured down.The newsboy hastily covered his only eye.

A rough bartender poked his head out, waving his arm covered with black bristles and cursed: "What do you call your mother's mourning? You little bastard! It's not even five o'clock, and chickens think you're noisy! You Blind tonight! Blind tonight!"

Then the owner of the tavern also squeezed his head out, and shouted: "You bastard with an open forehead, with sores, assholes, and worms on the top of your head, I am dreaming of a big girl from the Sun Demon Race. Let you wake up, how the hell are you going to pay me?"

The one-eyed newsboy was splashed with water and scolded, but he felt lucky. After all, it wasn't boiling water or feces, and it was better to be scolded than beaten.

He shook the water off his body, then took out a crumpled newspaper from his waterproof bag, and said:

"Good news! Check it out, fresh and hot newspaper, gentlemen wrote it overnight!"

The bartender rubbed his scarlet wet eyes and asked, "Jie Bao? What do you mean? What is 'Jie Bao'?"

The newsboy shouted: "Good news! It's a good news, it's a good news that the front line has won the battle! Leoric, Arkad, and Shia!"

"Oh, it's Leoric's newspaper!" The bartender's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The bartender said excitedly: "Oh, it's theirs? Hahahaha, bring it up quickly, my little brother! Hurry up, I want to buy three copies!"

"One piece for two copper horns! Thank you for your patronage!"

The newsboy said as he approached the back door of the tavern.

After a while, the newsboy came out from the main entrance, holding six copper coins and a glass of beer - this was invited by the boss, the owner of the tavern was a pure-blood plateau man, no different from a nobleman in the eyes of despicable races .The pure-blood plateau people like to hear the good news from the front line the most. When they hear the news, they will be as happy as having a son.Even the most stingy iron cock will reward the servants with a few copper horns or a glass of beer.

The one-eyed newsboy also liked "Jibao", even happier than the plateau man.

Although the newsboy doesn't know who is fighting with whom, who Leoric, Arkad, and Shia are, and he doesn't know where the battle took place, but he knows one thing - people like " Good News", as long as he shouts "Good News", today he can sell three times, five times, or even ten times as many newspapers!

The newsboy drank the remaining beer from last night's drinkers, then put the glass back to the door and put it on the table.

At this time, the sun had risen in the east, and the newsboy looked at the beautiful sunrise with his one eye.He cleared his throat, like a wizard begging for rain, and shouted:

"Good news, good news! Good news from the front!"

Chapter 62: I don't want to stay in this city for a moment!

The news of the Northern Expedition's victory over the barbarians quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Wangbei City. By noon, almost half of Wangbei City knew about it.Those names reappeared repeatedly in the conversations in the streets and alleys, especially Leoric's.People love to talk about heroes, and especially to describe their feats—even if they haven't seen them with their own eyes.And people with eloquence will bring their descriptions to life, allowing the audience to be on the scene.

They are willing to talk, and some are willing to listen. At this moment, they can get closer to the hero invisibly, as if they are also heroes, or the attendant leading the horse beside the hero.There are many smart people in Wangbei City. Someone caught this business opportunity and invited bards to tell stories for everyone, and then earn ticket money by themselves.The bard has already prepared a new song to match this great story. As long as you fill in the words, it will be a fresh and warm heroic epic.

So the victory of the Northern Expedition first supported the newspaper office and newsboy, and then supported the bard.Bards of different races control different instruments, but tell the same story.

There was a highlander poet with a fine organ, and he sang in the best halls, and they sang stories of Leoric, how he raided the enemy camp at night, and how he won the hearts of the girls.He speaks the most elegantly, charges the most, and has few guests.

Poets of the Marshmen roamed the taverns, theater halls, and marsh temples, playing flute or piccolo.They talked, half sang, of intrigues, intrigues, and deadliest battles.Their stories have climaxes and librettos, and anyone with money is willing to buy a ticket to sit down and listen to them.

Orc poets are the wildest and most lively, performing in the square, dancing in the marketplace, or simply using the street as a stage.They are a group of four, one talking, one playing the drums, and two dancing. They only talk about the most exciting battles, and describe those exciting scenes with superb rapping and furious speed. The latter will play Leoric and the Crow King, and the two will fight with swords and guns.They don't need tickets, but the audience is the largest, and many people voluntarily donate, and the chipped broken bowl is full of coins.

But no matter who it is, they are using unique ways to spread the name of that man.

When the men heard this, their eyes sparkled, and they asked excitedly where they could enroll in the army?

When the girls heard this, they all chattered about whether Leoric was married?Or what kind of girl do you like?

After hearing this, the old people lamented that time is ruthless. If they were 20 years younger, they would go to Wild Wolf City to kill a few barbarians.

The children listened, and played war games, the most domineering kid had to play Leoric, and the unpopular boy had to play the Crow King, who chased and beat him with sticks.There are also some teenagers who will make a wish in their hearts, and when they grow up, they will also become a person like Leoric.

On this day, Wangbei City was immersed in the joy of victory.However, the official announcement has not yet been made. The king did not show up, the princess did not speak, and the priests, priests, and propaganda chiefs did not participate in the carnival.

Princess Teves was standing by the window of the castle, and the noise from the square could also be heard here. In fact, even if you didn't look outside, you could hear people's discussions inside the castle.

The minister of intelligence stood behind him, looking at his nose, nose, and heart, with an expression like an old monk in meditation.

The princess said: "The whole city is in an uproar, why hasn't the intelligence office handed over the documents yet?"

The minister still had the same expression and said: "Our people are counting the numbers..."

The princess asked: "The efficiency of our intelligence department is not as good as that of the old man who sells newspapers?"

The minister raised his head and looked at the back of Princess Tevis - the gorgeous clothes, complicated gestures, and the "female powder" painted on her neck. Most men don't know the names of those cosmetics, and they don't care , That is to say, they are all called "female fans" - At this time, the minister couldn't help showing a contemptuous expression.The old king is old and frail, so this one who hasn't grown hair... oh, sorry, can only be ruled by this virgin princess, then the decline of royal power has become an established fact.

The decline of royal power is not necessarily a bad thing for ministers.

At this time, the Minister of Etiquette thought for a while and said: "You must know that the intelligence department puts rigor first, and it must not be like the pheasant newspaper outside. Oh, and they have limited funds and are still short of people, ah, But the most important thing is the lack of money, because with money, there will be no shortage of people...

Speaking of this, the Minister of Intelligence rolled his cunning little eyeballs, like a mouse thinking about food.

Tevis glared at him over her shoulder and said, "Your name is Miller, isn't it?"

"Uh, yes, Your Highness."

"Let's go." Teves said and walked forward alone.The minister of intelligence froze, then sneered, turned and left.

"Miller, Miller, Miller..." Teves muttered to herself while spelling Miller's name on her palm.

Teves remembered almost every minister's name, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Etiquette, the Minister of Agriculture, the Chief Justice, the High Priest... She remembered them all.Teves was not born with such a good memory, most of her ability to memorize extensive knowledge was acquired through training.

She has two lists, one black and one white, with names already written on them.Some of these names were told to her by her father, and some were added by herself, which will be useful in the future.

In the afternoon, the report from the intelligence service finally arrived.

It’s not too late for a good meal, Devis took the report with great anticipation, and browsed through it at a glance.However, after watching for a few seconds, she frowned.

"These guys are fooling me for a fool!" She angrily threw the report into a ball.

This report describes the process of the Northern Expedition's victory over the Crow King in more detail. However, as long as it involves the achievements of Leoric and others, the words become extremely restrained and conservative; The Crow King, one of the Four Great Barbarian Kings, is just a bandit leading a mob.

Looking at the "detailed report" of the Ministry of Intelligence, it seems that the defense of Wild Wolf City has become "a battle between cowards and idiots."They spared no effort to belittle everything the Northern Expeditionary Army did. They falsified data, distorted facts, avoided the most important, and avoided conflicts... If the kung fu of the quill was used on the battlefield, it would kill three thousand barbarians at least.

The authenticity of this information is not as good as the report written by the folk newspaper, or even the ballad compiled by the bard that day.

However, the princess has no real data to question them—the intelligence from the people exaggerates Leoric's achievements and bravery, and the data obtained by the Minister of Intelligence avoids the contribution made by the Northern Expedition Army, neither of which is objective .

The minister of intelligence, as well as other ministers attached to the noble forces, didn't like the Northern Expeditionary Army, let alone Leoric.

Now the plateau nobles are divided into two factions, the royalist faction and the aristocratic faction, which can also be said to be the contradiction between the royal family and the two dukes.

The Northern Expedition Army represented the royal family. If the Northern Expedition Army won the battle, it would deal a great blow to the dukes.

This Northern Expedition was the death struggle of the plateau royal family, and the bet was that General Akkad could turn the tide and win a city like he did when he was young.

As long as the Northern Expeditionary Army wins, it will be able to extend the life of the royal family for at least 20 years, which will prove that the royal family of the plateau people and the royalists still have overwhelming strength. The remaining prestige, clear some obstacles.

Therefore, many nobles of the plateau people were very reluctant to see the victory of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The weather was still hot and humid as usual, Teves returned to the room, she asked the servant to open the window, and picked up a cold drink to drink.Just when the princess was about to take a nap, the eunuch guard outside knocked on the door.

Mammy didn't open the door, she asked through the opening, "What's the matter?"

The guard said: "The princess's personal guard knight has something to report."

"Wait." Nanny Ring Ruler turned her head and said to the princess, "Your Highness, your knight is here."

The princess sighed. She asked the maid to help her tidy up her clothes and clear the table before saying, "Let him in."

"Let him in!" said Mammy.

The princess' knight came in, saluted, and said:

"Your Highness, the town guard is arresting the bard, and even put a seal on the newspaper, should we take care of it?"

"Ridiculous!" Tevis sneered suddenly angrily, "These bastards are really low, they don't think their own country is any better."

The knight saluted and said, "The brothers of the personal guard are on standby, Your Highness."

The princess said: "Young man, you are all good, you are the pillars of the country." She stepped forward, like a general, and patted the knight on the shoulder heavily.The princess was already tall, but after wearing high heels, she was half a head taller than the knight. If she was wearing armor now, she would be about the same as a real general.

"Your Highness, thank you." The knight saluted.

Then, Princess Tevis had a bitter look on her face, and she looked away, not daring to look into the soldier's enthusiastic eyes.

"But the guard group is not under my control." She said, "The captain of the guard is the son of Earl Bain, and the minister of public security is also the cousin of Earl Bain. The security maintenance of the entire Wangbei City is controlled by the Bain family. And Bain The En family is the minions of the Nicholas family..."

Teves noticed the blank expression on the knight's face—these knights only know three things: justice, fighting, and loyalty.Political struggle is too foreign, too complex and too disgusting for them.

Tevis said: "Anyway, even if I give the order, they still have a way to deal with it. In the end, after a few days of tossing around, this matter will be settled."

"Then let's kill them all!" the knight shouted angrily.

The young knight had reddish-brown hair, a protruding forehead, and a pair of piercing round eyes. He looked like a bad-tempered man.

After the knight shouted, he was also stunned. He stayed for two seconds, then quickly knelt down and said, "Forgive me! Your Highness."

The princess shook her head and said, "I don't blame you, young knight." In fact, the princess was two years younger than the knight, "I also thought about killing all those rebellious officials and thieves with one blow, but we couldn't do it. Because my knights are still too few. If the rebels and thieves unite, their land, wealth, and population will be much larger than mine, and I have only a few of you under my command. In other words, if there is blood, there will be war , then can we defeat them? Presumably not.”

The knight was stunned by the princess's words, and he said, "We just killed a few arrogant guards."

The princess said: "They represent the power of the nobility, and you represent me. Wars start with partial bloodshed." She sighed and said, "Wait a little longer, soldier, wait a little longer, I'm thinking This situation won't last forever." Teves felt that it was boring to say this, she had said it too many times.

The soldier nodded helplessly, and then left.

The hot and humid wind came in from the window, and Princess Teves was wrapped in the baggy clothes, feeling the sweat dripping from her pores.The princess' clothes still retain the style of the nobles of the ancient plateau people. Although they have undergone some improvements, they still look like winter clothes.
