Chapter 668 Chapter 680 The Battle of Motu City III
Le Song’s nervousness is not unreasonable. Now the entire city of Deke has been controlled by Xiu Yin, and the thousands of war regiments stationed directly surrendered. Now most of the citizens in the city don’t know about it for the time being. If they knew…
Le Song suddenly had a flash of inspiration, it would be a big riot!
Thinking of this, Le Song definitely has his own solution, but now he has to show extreme surrender to Xiu Yin.
What Le Song was thinking, Xiu Yin didn't know, but Xiu Yin knew one thing, that is, this person would never serve him sincerely. Of course, behind it was the stronger Motu Empire, and he was just lucky to occupy it. Dirk City only.
Moreover, it is not completely occupied, there are many captives, in order not to cause tens of thousands of citizens to panic, Xiu Yin ordered his subordinates to do their best to maintain the stability of the entire city.
Not long after the morning, there were reports from the guards at various city gates. A large number of businessmen asked to leave the city, and caravans outside the city also asked to enter the city.
Xiuyin looked at the generals who came to discuss matters, and suddenly felt that it would be great if more administrative officials were brought here.
These warriors don't know how to govern the city. If there were not so many people from the chamber of commerce to assist them, the city of Deke would probably be paralyzed, but now it is not far from being paralyzed, and many locals are unwilling to obey Long Hui's leader Yes, the reason is very simple, what is the Longhui collar? Can it also be compared with the empire?
Xiu Yin recruited many people like Le Song, and Xiu Yin knew in his heart that most of these people are ulterior motives!
…
The gate of Deke City was opened according to Xiu Yin's order, and the caravans inside swarmed out as if fleeing, making the caravans outside the city waiting to enter the city look dazed.
The abnormal Deke City, abnormal caravans pouring out of the city, the caravans outside the city began to be suspicious, and some caravans also got some wind.
The first thing merchants think about is their wallets. When they arrive at the gate of Deke City, they pull the goods back. The loss is unbearable for many merchants. After all, most merchants are actually only at a well-off level. Unable to do business, his family will soon go bankrupt. Compared with laborers, these businessmen are only superficially glamorous.
The caravans in the city came out, and the caravans outside the city came in immediately. At this time, anyone who is not a fool can see the strangeness of Deke City.
First of all, it is the troops defending the city, and the uneasiness on the faces of the merchants in the city. Of course, the merchants who enter the city are more concerned about exchanging goods for money or other commodities of equivalent value as soon as possible.
"Elegy Fortress should get news at this time."
On the second floor of the administrative hall, Huin looked down at a busy street in Dirk City and said, "If you were that paladin named Martial, what would you do?"
"Of course it is to recover Deke City immediately and annihilate us!" Abisa said.
"Why?" Xiuyin turned around and asked Abisa instead of looking out the window, "What made him do this?"
"Of course it's the disparity in combat strength. They have tens of thousands of troops, while we only have a combat strength of less than 10,000 at present. Now we have to allocate a lot of manpower to maintain the law and order of this city."
Abisa's answer is very thorough, the combat power is the reason why Martial will directly crush them.
"Of course there's Marland." Hans shrugged. He was right. Marland was Martial's nephew, and revenge was also a reason.
Another point, they don't know, Xiu Yin knows, that is glory, for the glory of the knights of the Motu Empire, he will come here with a murderous look, even in the current meeting hall, Xiu Yin can smell the fuss killing intent...
…
By the time Martial's army surrounded Dirk City on three sides, it was already the afternoon of the second day after Dirk City changed hands.
It was not much different from what Xiu Yin thought. After the matter of Deke City, Elegy Fortress immediately began to worry about the combat power in the Kinki region. According to the efficiency of the empire, 30,000 combat power in the Kinki region were assembled in half a day, leaving Five thousand guarded the Elegy Fortress, and the Marquis Marshall personally led 25,000 people to surround Deke City.
But it was only surrounded on three sides, and there was no defense on the east side of the city.
"My lord, why don't you surround the west side as well?" the adjutant asked puzzled.
"Hmph, as long as they dare to break out from that direction, what awaits them will be doomsday!"
Marquis Marshall thinks he understands the art of war, but the Emperor’s Southern Expedition did not take him with him. Marquis Marshall must justify his name and come to a battle full of art...
But when the night began to fall, Marquis Marshall did not see a team coming out of the city, and even he sent five envoys in a row without getting any reply.
The gates of Deke City were not closed, and even the gate guards could not be seen on the city walls.
When Martial started to prepare for the siege before dark, the five envoys who had been sent out to persuade them to surrender all returned.
"How did the other party reply!"
The envoy returned empty-handed, and Martial naturally did not hold a good result.
"My lord, this is a letter for you."
One of the messengers handed Martial a piece of paper tremblingly. There was no envelope, so anyone could see the contents of the paper, and so did the messenger.
Martial took the paper and looked up.
"To Marquis Marshall, a heroic imperial knight: I am really sorry. When your army came to Deke City, I chose Elegy Fortress. How about Elegy Fortress for Deke City? Are you satisfied with this deal?— Yours sincerely, Lord Dragonhui, Huine Neumann."
"how is this possible!"
Martial crushed the paper excitedly and threw it on the ground fiercely. He didn't believe that the Elegy Fortress was captured by these people, and the captain who had just stayed at the Elegy Fortress reported to himself...
Martial suddenly felt that something was wrong.
When or where did they come to occupy the Elegy Fortress?
How did Deke City fall? The answer Martial already knew from the person who sent him the letter was that he was disguised as a caravan!
The daily flow of business travelers in Deke City is huge. If these thousands of people go out of the city pretending to be businessmen again and pretend to pass through the Elegy Fortress...
"Not good, the whole army retreats!"
Martial's body began to tremble. Losing Deke City is a trivial matter, but losing Elegy Fortress is a disaster!
Elegy Fortress was a fortress that did not fall even under the siege of orcs and elves. It saved the human family and gave hope to the human family. It is exactly the same, giving the Qiyao family enough time to mobilize the army.
Elegy is glory, a glory that cannot be defiled.
As the sun set, Martial looked at the outline of the Elegy Fortress and murmured, "Yes, the glory of Elegy must not be dimmed by me..."
