Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

Someone shouted hoarsely: "What if Leoric still bombs us with cannons?"

Harun's eldest son sneered, "He didn't dare! Because I still have a trump card."

People asked, "What trump card?"

"The eldest son of Harun" sneered, and said, "You guys will know soon!"

With that said, he walked towards the depths of the palace.

Chapter 98: "Deal!"

Leoric had half of the army guard the walls and the other half follow him into the city.The fortress wall is relatively short, even if 2 people are pulled in, it will not be able to expand for a while.So Leoric simply brought fewer people, and the remaining people guarded their backs on the city wall and managed the captives who surrendered.

The castle of Changxia Palace is tall, big and strong. There are archery towers and ballistas, and there is a moat below which boats can walk. It is not impossible to attack by force, but it will definitely pay a lot of casualties.

Leoric's army adhered to the principle of emphasizing quality over quantity, and everyone was elite, so even if a soldier died, he would feel very distressed.Right now, he was discussing with the group leaders how to attack the city. Everyone brainstormed and contributed many clever strategies for attacking the city, but Leoric was not very satisfied after hearing it.

He said: "Our victory is already a certainty. Since this is the case, we must win the victory with the most beautiful and perfect posture, and we must minimize casualties and consumption as much as possible."

Sir Milan asked him: "General, what kind of battle damage do you think is acceptable?"

Leoric thought for a while and said, "It's best not to go beyond the time of attacking the city wall."

"You said this number?" Sir Milan made a gesture of 6 and said with a smile, "This is unlikely, unless Harlan's eldest son comes out to give the head himself."

Even Shia persuaded him: "General, it is impossible to fight without death. We are now attacking the first fortress of the plateau people - Changxia Palace! There will definitely be some losses. I think that if you want to win, you must die." Some are unavoidable."

Leoric didn't think so, he said: "I know this is the strongest fortress of the first city of the plateau people, but you also have to see what kind of waste is guarding the fortress! The opponent is the crow Wang, I can accept thousands of casualties, there is nothing I can do about it; but in this group of idiots, I will feel bad if I die a brother! Leaders, although there is an old saying that 'kindness does not command soldiers', However, if the lives of soldiers can be saved, they should not be made unnecessary sacrifices. Every soldier is a real person. They may have parents, wives, children, and their own small families. They fought with me, I have to be responsible for them, there is no way to fight hard, there will inevitably be sacrifices, but it is too unjust to die in this kind of place."

"Whether the soldiers defending the city or the soldiers attacking the city are all plateau people and our compatriots. And because of the ridiculous ambitions of a few nobles, the compatriots will kill each other? I can't accept these people who are loyal to the country Warriors die that way."

In the current era, Leoric's words are deafening - human life is worthless in troubled times, and people often fight for the sake of fighting. It is not easy to survive. If you can survive and win, it is worth cheering It's a big deal, no one will care about other people's lives.

As a commander who leads troops in battle, while enjoying the supreme honor of victory, he can also think about the safety of the lowest-level soldiers. This kind of kindness is very rare.

The group leaders all knew what Leoric was like, so they were only moved, but not surprised.But it was the first time for Teves to see such a general. Although she had seen people who talked about pity before, it was still a headache for someone like him who was willing to stop in front of victory in order to save the lives of soldiers. See you soon.She couldn't help thinking: No wonder people are willing to follow him. If it were me, I would too.

Well, this is the power of righteousness, I have learned.

At this time Shia said: "General, you are right, but we have no way to attack the city now."

Leoric looked at the city wall and said, "Why can't it be done, 'The cannons are firing, hit his mother'!"

Shia reminded: "We don't have many shells. If we use up all the shells here, then the next few cities will be difficult to fight."

Leoric nodded, thinking to himself: What Shia said is indeed reasonable, the shells we seized are quite a few, and there are only two boxes in total.I used more than half of the box to fight the city wall just now, and there are more than one box left. There are at least two cities to fight in the back, so save it!

Leoric thought for a while and said, "Well, let's fire the air cannon!"

"Fire... the air cannon?"

Leoric said: "It takes courage to fight, and I don't think the enemy has much courage. No need to shoot, just pull the cannon under the gate, and they will surrender."

"Well, there is such a possibility."

So Leoric ordered the major legions to surround the castle, making sure to block the drawbridges on all sides, and then pulled the two lava cannons to the "King's Square" at the north gate of the castle.In this place, the cannon can attack the castle, but the firepower inside the castle cannot threaten the cannon.

Just waiting for the cannon, Leoric rode Mortready to the gate of the castle, and said loudly: "Nags, the eldest son of Harlan! Your Excellency wiped out six enemies and occupied the palace, you are a hero! You see my cannon Do you think the walls of the Changxia Palace can hold me back? If you surrender now, I can spare your life! Otherwise, when the cannon fires, you will definitely die!"

I saw the "Eldest Son of Harun" leaning his head on the city wall, saying: "We will resist to the end!" Then he shrank back.

This idiot still hasn't surrendered yet?I don't think he's such a strong person.

At this time, Teves also came to Leoric on horseback. Leoric saw her coming and asked, "Your Highness, this place is dangerous. What are you doing here?"

Teves said: "To persuade you to surrender, you need to be reasonable and emotional. I happen to know some details about this guy. Let me try. Don't worry about my danger, I have this." She shook the metal in her left hand shield.

"Well, tell me, I'll protect you too." Leoric said as he stood in front of her.

So Teves fucked her "royal voice" and exclaimed, "I am the princess of the Highlanders, Teves Nashrut!"

Volume MAX!

The sound made Mortread stand up, and Leoric almost fell off his horse.But he didn't blame Mo Tready, the volume of the royal voice was too loud!It's as if someone next to you is yelling "fuck you" into your ear with a megaphone, it's really scary.

A loud voice is a good thing, it can be heard when giving orders, and it can also deter the enemy.It's just that a girl's voice is so loud, which makes Leoric very worried whether her future husband will suddenly be frightened, or whether he needs to install a super soundproof wall in the bedroom or something.

While Leoric was thinking wildly, Teves had already started her persuasion.

Just heard her say: "Nags! 'Nags, the eldest son of Harlan'! I remember you, you are the third son of Nien Binard, the patriarch of the Binard family, and your mother is a rich family of Green Marsh The eldest daughter of the Havant family! Your father is a kind old man, and your mother is a lady of a famous family. The ancestor of your family is a marshal of the North Plateau, named Karastov, who once served in the North The royal family is also a famous military strategist in history! I have read his "Fortress Offense and Defense" and "Mountain Field Battle Art" written by him since I was a child. Say, your family has a strict family tradition and is full of loyalty, why did you become a traitor like you? Answer me, Nags! Did your parents teach you to betray the country, or did your ancestors write a tutorial on rebellion? "

These words directly poked "Harlan's eldest son" Nags on the sore spot, he roared angrily:

"You fake princess, don't deceive the public here! I am loyal to the country and my ideals, and I have not wronged anyone! If you want to say sorry, you are the ones who are sorry to me!"

Teves nodded and said, "Then, why did the loyal Nags choose this path? Did you go astray, or were you blinded by thieves? If you are being blackmailed, just tell me If it’s unspeakable, you can write a letter to me, and I’ll make the decision for you! There’s a wrong and a debt, I swear, I won’t hurt a person who is forced to be my enemy, Nags! I only We will find the culprit to settle the score."

Leoric listened to the side, and couldn't help nodding his head approvingly—the princess's method of persuading surrender is indeed better than mine, and she understood it with reason and moved her with emotion, and in the end, she helped this guy find a step down to clear him of the crime .Damn, I want to vote for it!

Unexpectedly, the guy was very moved, but he refused Teves' persuasion to surrender.

"No, you fake princess, my determination will not waver! I don't even know about you? Say one thing and do one thing, with honey in your mouth and poison in your hands! You don't have a single good thing!"

Teves frowned, feeling a little puzzled, thinking: This guy seems to have been shaken, what gave him his determination?Moreover, the "eldest son of Harlan" is not a very backbone person, so why would he choose to fight to the death?

Leoric didn't care so much, and roared: "Okay, then you want to eat cannonballs, right? Come on, bang the fuck..."

The guy suddenly said, "Fire? Hahahahahaha... Leoric, open your eyes and see what this is!"

Four soldiers came out carrying a high chair, and an old man in a golden robe was tied to the chair.

Teves' expression changed immediately, and she said, "Father?"

Harun's eldest son nodded and said, "Yes, this is your king."

He drew his sword, put it on the old king's neck, and said, "I know it's a bad thing to do, but who let you scumbags cheat first? If you didn't use that cannon, we could have had a fight." Enter the battle in the textbook! Even if I lose at that time, I will be convinced, but you cheated! You used that evil weapon to destroy my city wall, what is that? The power of the demons? You bastards People, you actually use the power of the demons to deal with your own compatriots!"

He grabbed the old king's hair and roared, "Get out of this city at once, or I'll kill the king!"

Leoric thought now: Damn it, this idiot is holding me hostage with the king!What should I do?

Seeing this scene, many soldiers were very angry.Shia pointed at the guy's nose and called him a treacherous and despicable person, but Harlan's eldest son was so brazen that this level of insult couldn't even pierce the cuticle of his face.Then several officers came up to scold him in turn. They were all big bosses, and the swear words in their mouths were naturally vicious. Harun's eldest son jumped up in anger and threatened, "If you scold me again, I will cut off one of the king's fingers." !” Upon hearing this, everyone had no choice but to shut up.

Teves was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She rode close to Leoric and said, "This kind of guy can be regarded as one of the three famous generals of the plateau people? Damn, it's really disgusting."

Leoric sighed, and pondered: "Your Highness, look at this situation..."

If you nod, I'll shoot your father with one shot!

Teves thought for a while, and said: "First of all, you can't fire the cannonball. That bastard Nicholas has already framed me as a traitor. If you kill the king with one cannon, wouldn't you be a real traitor? Then The next battle will be difficult.”

Leoric thought to himself: Tevez is really calm, seeing the knife on her father's neck, she didn't panic at all.But after thinking about it, the average person in this world is a dutiful son. Compared to the big beast under her buttocks, Tevez is at best a little dutiful.Oh, of course, it may also be that Her Royal Highness is in a good mood.

Then Teves said: "Well, let me talk to him again and see what other conditions he has."

Leoric nodded and said, "Okay, then please Your Highness."

So, Teves stepped forward to negotiate with that guy.

Teves' side has the superiority in military strength and the moral high ground, plus Her Royal Highness is eloquent, and within a few rounds, the other side is red-faced and angry.That guy simply started swearing, the viciousness of the words in his mouth was unbearable.The general probably thought that Teves was a well-bred princess who could debate, but he definitely wouldn't pull himself down to swear and quarrel with him.Unexpectedly, Teves is also a master of cursing, and she very cleverly changed a language to scold him.

The language Tevis uses is the ancient language of the plateau people. For example, it is equivalent to classical Chinese.

This kind of speech sounded vigorous and rhythmic, and people outside couldn't understand it. They would think that Teves's quarrels were very elegant, and she was worthy of the elegant and easy-going princess.If you can understand, you will know how ugly Teves's scolding is, but "the eldest son of Harlan" has learned "classical Chinese" because of his family background, so he has no choice but to accept all the scolding.

It was noon, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and there was no wind in the air. The hot and humid summer in the swamp was the most unbearable.Everyone was drenched, and their clothes were wet and stuck to their bodies.Teves didn't care about her demeanor anymore, she put one hand on her hips and held a water bottle in the other, cursing while drinking.Although she still uses classical Chinese, people can guess what she is talking about by looking at her momentum.Shia murmured at the side: "I'm so glad I don't understand ancient languages."

Leoric could understand it completely, and he thought to himself: If this voice of Teves was recorded, it would be an abstract bible for people from the plateau.

The weather made people more and more irritable, and Harlan's eldest son became more and more impatient, and finally, after breaking through a certain critical point, he broke out and roared in a crazy voice: "You fake princess! Fuck you, I put the words here, I can't let the king go! I only have one condition, and that is to retreat! As long as you retreat fifty miles, I will let the king go immediately!"

At this time, Xi Ya whispered from the side: "Don't believe his nonsense! Even if we retreat to Wild Wolf City, he won't be able to let us go."

Teves's answer was even stronger, and she shouted: "This condition is impossible! I would rather fire than retreat!"

"Harlan's eldest son" said: "That is... but your king! You cold-blooded fellow!"

It's not that Teves is really cold-blooded and ruthless, it's just that in this situation, she must try her best to speak harsh words.There are two advantages to speaking harshly. If the opponent feels that the hostages are worthless and surrenders, that is of course the best;

"It is the destiny of every member of the royal family to shed the last drop of blood for the country, and it is also our eternal responsibility! It has been like this since ancient times! Don't say that the person above is my father, even if it is me, I will let the general fire!"

Harlan's eldest son obviously didn't believe Teves had such courage, so he choked on her and said, "How about a change? You put yourself up on a gondola, and I'll send your father down!"

The princess didn't get angry, instead she frowned and said, "Change! But, don't you say I'm a fake princess? Could it be that the head of a fake princess can be bought at the same price as the real king?"

The eldest son of Harlan dug a hole by himself, blushed in embarrassment for a moment, and said: "Yes, you are a fucking fake! Your head is worthless, oh, but Leoric's head is worthless." It’s worth it! How about this, you guys bring Leoric up in a bundle, and I’ll pass the king and let him go!"

Tevis was annoyed this time, and scolded, "Don't even think about it!"

"and many more!"

However, Leoric, who had been silent all this time, suddenly turned on the mic and said loudly, "You said, as long as you tie me up and hang me up, then you will put the king down, right?"

Harun's eldest son frowned and said, "Ah, if you really do this, I will definitely let the king go."

"OK, deal!" Leoric gave a thumbs up.

"Huh? Deal?"

At this moment, no matter whether it was above or below the city wall, all people with normal hearing were stunned.

Chapter 99: "Into the Urn" by Harlan's eldest son

"No!" Shia jumped off the horse, opened her hands and blocked Leoric, and shouted, "You are going to do this kind of risky thing again! You are not allowed to go!"

Immediately afterwards, the elf sisters who had been in the back row also ran over on horseback.Elder sister Romila got off her horse and saluted, saying, "Prince Regent, I don't doubt your wisdom, but please also take care of your own safety."

Serawi had seen "Leo/Rick" before, but he didn't care. He just ate melons beside him with an excited face, waiting for Leo Rick's big job.

Teves looked at Leorick suspiciously, walked over, and murmured: "Here, General Leorick, you must have some deep meaning in doing this, right? You don't really want to go up and give away the head, do you?" ?”

Leoric said loudly: "What tricks can you come up with? I am a general who is loyal to my country, and I am a knight who swears allegiance to my kingdom! Isn't it a matter of course to protect the safety of the national army with my life?"

What he said was heroic, but it frightened the people around him. Shia lowered her voice as much as possible and said, "You crazy man who is not afraid of death! Leoric, I know what tricks you have, but you can't do it every time. Take your own life as a bet! You... didn't you promise me that you will protect yourself?"

Leoric also got off his horse. He lightly pressed Shia's arm and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure. Look at how many times before this, how have I ever let you down?"

Shia said anxiously: "It's not a matter of being disappointed or not! It's... What if you have something to do?"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I promise you'll be fine..."

At this time, the group leaders also advised him not to be impulsive.Leoric originally wanted to explain to everyone, but then he thought, talking too much might make the eldest son of Harlan on the city wall suspicious. If the other party changes his mind, wouldn't it be bad?

So he didn't explain to the legion commanders, but said in a very excited tone: "Do soldiers need any reason to die for the king? I, Leoric, just eat the royal salary and receive the king's grace, so I can have Today's status and honor. Now I trade my life for His Majesty's safety, at best I just return everything I own to him." Damn, what a dog I am speaking! "I have made up my mind, you are my soldiers, as long as you obey the order!"

Seeing Leoric being so righteous, everyone was moved to tears, and said in unison: "Yes, General!"

"In case I never come back, Shia! You will command the Northern Expedition Army on my behalf and complete the next mission—this is an order!" Leoric said loudly.

Shia cried and replied, "Yes, General!"

Teves watched this scene from the sidelines, and felt an indescribable shock in her heart—at first she thought Leoric had some tricks, but now it seems that he simply wants to sacrifice himself to save the king!

Although Teves had seen loyal and brave soldiers before, it was the first time she had seen someone as loyal, brave and fearless as Leoric!Leoric, he is not a soldier with nothing!He is the general of the Northern Expedition, a young hero, and a miracle for the plateau people!He has an army, wealth, power, honor and beauties like Shia and Pushila on his left and right, he has almost everything!You know, the poorer and whiter the less afraid of death, because if they die, they will not lose anything except a difficult life, but those rich people are very sorry for their lives - how can people die before their money is spent? Woolen cloth?

So, Leoric, an extremely "rich" person, can actually give up everything for the oath, and choose the invisible and intangible "loyalty"?What kind of quality is this?Compared with his noble qualities, the self-cultivation, demeanor and education I have accumulated in the past twenty years are meaningless!Leoric, this is the real gentleman, the real knight, and the real hero!

At that moment, Teves felt something soft in her chest was touched.

what does it feel likeIt's amazing.

Could it be the kind of... that kind of feeling written in knight novels, right?

Damn it!I am the woman who is going to be the king!How can there be such weak feelings... Really.And a boy so much younger than me!I thought my future man would be taller and stronger than me.

She quietly looked at Leoric's side face, thinking: Although I don't like him, it is undeniable that he is quite handsome...and a little cute.

Thinking of this, Her Royal Highness's face turned red. Fortunately, the weather was so hot that she was already flushed with heat, so she couldn't tell.

Obviously there is a war!I was thinking something!

"Leoric!" she cried, "you must not go!"

"Your Highness?"

Teves said: "Since you swear allegiance to the royal family, you should listen to me, the princess, right? Leoric, I order you as a princess, don't go! The old king is old, and the new king is about to take the throne , this country and I, the princess, need you more than the old king. You can call me cold-blooded and ruthless! But for the plateau empire, for the royal family, and for the people of the plateau, I must do this! Leoric, hear Is it? I order you not to go!"

Leoric bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness."
