Chapter 674 Ink Soil Afterglow VI

  The loss of hunger and the fall of heroes has tormented the soldiers of Elegy Fortress for most of the day.

  From the morning, some soldiers didn’t even eat last night. In addition to getting a small amount of drinking water, their stressful mood made them feel hungry and painful.

  When they heard that they were going to be sent to the school grounds in the fortress, they couldn't help feeling a little terrified.

   Barbarians, want to kill prisoners?

   This is not impossible. At least when the orcs invaded the central part of the mainland, they burned, killed and looted along the way. The places they passed can only be described as barren.

  When more than a hundred soldiers of the Elegy Fortress came to the school grounds of the fortress one after another, they discovered that they were not the only ones.

  The school grounds of the fortress are large enough for nearly ten thousand people to gather in the school grounds.

  The soldiers in the fortress saw these people in the school grounds, and they looked familiar.

   is a soldier of Dirk City.

  Shu Yin spent one night transferring all the captives in Deke City to the fortress.

These captives spent the night starving and freezing in the school grounds like this. Now when they saw the soldiers of Elegy Fortress, both sides were embarrassed. There was nothing to say to each other because of the shame, and they were defeated by what they regarded as barbarians. Long Huiling, what else can I say...

   There were more than a hundred people standing at the Elegy Fortress in the school grounds. At a glance, all of them were officers of the fortress, and the youngest was a small leader at the level of a small captain.

  If all the non-commissioned officers in these fortresses are killed, before Emperor Rubik's reinforcements rush back, Long Hui will no longer have any worries in leading the hinterland of the empire...

   "Yeah, these barbarians are going to kill us!"

   "Are we just going to get caught like this?"

   "I, we're going to..."

   Before the words of resistance continued, they all stopped talking, because there were more than a thousand crossbowmen on the walls around the school grounds.

  Most people have already experienced the power of the Longhui crossbow array. When they saw the tip of the crossbow reflecting the light of noon, they could only choose to keep their mouths tightly shut when they were unarmed.

  Shuyin stood on the city wall and looked down at the disheveled low-level generals of the Motu Empire. Their future is no longer in their own hands, but in...

   "I will let you go!"

  Shu Yin's voice resounded throughout the school grounds.

  Even in the Longhui Territory, Xiu Yin rarely added magic to his voice, but now, Xiu Yin needs to make every soldier of the Motu Empire listen carefully.

   "What? He said he would let us go?"

   "My god, this is impossible!"

   The soldiers of the Motu Empire couldn't believe their ears.

  Xiu Yin raised his voice again, "Lead each of your subordinates and return to the place where you should go. I am here to announce that the southeastern part of the Motu Empire has belonged to Longhui Territory!"

  Although all the soldiers of the Motu Empire knew that Xiu Yin was talking big, no one dared to question it.

The city of Deke and the Elegy Fortress in the hinterland were occupied. Geographically, they separated the southeast of the empire. The main combat forces in the south of the empire followed Rubik the Great to march south. Except for some old and weak security forces in the southern towns There is no other combat power, and the garrison in the north has been dealing with the remnants of the Holy Alliance for half a year, and they are already somewhat exhausted.

  Currently, Elegy Fortress and Deke City are in the hands of Long Hui, it is true that the southeast of the empire is controlled by Long Hui, and most importantly, the intelligence system of the empire seems to have some problems...

  …

  The Motu Empire almost enjoys the most affluent central fertile land in the mainland. There are few mountains, many plains, and even more underground mineral deposits, allowing the entire empire to light the soul lamp day and night.

  On the flat and wide official road, two carriages can run in parallel, and four carriages can pass in opposite directions without hindrance.

  At this time, from the north, a group of fast horses galloped quickly on the official road, and the knights on the horses were dressed in imperial light armor.

  The logo on the chest of the armor is a golden war horse and shield, which are light cavalry from the royal family.

   Seeing him galloping southward, he thought he had something important to report.

   Whoosh!

  A silver light piercing through the air was accompanied by a muffled groan from the cavalry, and the cavalry flew off the horse and fell to the ground.

   "Boss, this is the sixth one in a day, and it is said that this empire is rich, and this armor is worth dozens of gold coins!"

  Several people emerged from the grass beside the official road, and one of them bent down and fondly touched the armor of the chilling knight. The badge inlaid on the armor was genuine gold.

The leader of these people, a burly man, Charlotte, who is in charge of Longhui's intelligence department, also bent down, put his hand into the gap in the knight's armor, removed the part of the breastplate, and found it in his underwear. sent a letter.

   "Just blind your opponent's eyes so they can't see anything..."

   This is what Xiu Yin said to him before parting with him.

  Charlotte didn't take it seriously at first, but since entering the Motu Empire, it has to be said that Xiuyin's strategy has plunged the Kinki region of the Motu Empire into a situation of extreme panic.

  Even Emperor Rubik, who was rushing back all the way north, gradually lost contact with the messengers of the imperial capital, and could only rely on the letters sent by the magic circle.

  But the small villages and towns in the Kinki area were not so lucky. They didn't have a small teleportation circle, and it was impossible to have one, so Charlotte's troops were ghosts active around the Kinki area, and they assassinated these messengers.

   Kinki, the imperial capital, really became blind!

  …

  The Elegy Fortress on the other side was even more lively at this time. The captured soldiers were released one by one. They went to find their captain, and then walked out of the fortress in a long line with the captain as if they were going home.

   "Just let them go back like this?"

  Standing together on the city wall and looking at the long line below, Chris felt that Xiu Yin's approach was unwise.

Not to mention the captives who totaled close to 30,000 people, Xiu Yin and Jiang Ran also ordered all the residents and merchants in the fortress to be driven out. Now there are only more than 3,000 people led by Long Hui in the Elegy Fortress, and it is instantly deserted. few.

Looking at the figures of the last batch of soldiers and civilians of the Elegy Fortress heading north, Xiuyin handed Martial's dagger into Chris' hands, "After taking down the Motu Empire, how about this fortress being handed over to you as your administration? "

"what?!"

  Chris thought he heard it wrong, but Huin's expression didn't look like he was joking, and the lords of Longhui Territory he knew would never make such jokes.

   "What? Too small? Hehe, this dagger is good enough, not to mention it's a trophy of a paladin, so it's enough!"

  Looking at the dagger in his hand, Chris's expression was extremely excited.

  After feeling the warmth of glory, Chris had a complete smile on his face.

  But immediately there was a solemn look on his face.

   "Glory be to the great Lord!"
