Pioneering

Chapter 191 Defection and Preparing for a Sneak Attack
Edgar firmly held down the struggling Mardo, so that his grudge could not exert any effect, and said to Uld:

"Viscount Ould, Mardo is suspected of colluding with the enemy, betraying the military situation in the city, and betraying the Principality. What? Do you want to participate in it too!"

"Forgive me, spare my life!" Mardo cried and begged for mercy, "Stop beating me! Your Excellency Edgar, I just whispered some gossip behind my back. You wouldn't want to beat me to death like this, would you?"

"So you don't recognize it?" Edgar asked with a frown.

"I haven't done anything. What do I know?" Mardo protected his crotch, barely blocking half of the crotch kick of the blue-haired witch Shalan, but he was still hurt by the force.

"That's right, Your Excellency Edgar, is there some misunderstanding in this? Although Mardo is a little out of touch, he is definitely not a traitor." Uld defended his friend.

"Not such a person? Hey, you can see for yourself." After that, Edgar threw the letter he got from behind the mural just now to Uld.

Uld took the letter, scanned it briefly, and suddenly changed his expression.

Edgar pointed to the hidden grid and said, "If you don't believe it, there is still a lot of evidence of Uld's collusion with the enemy in this hidden grid. Go find it yourself."

As Mardo's friend, Uld naturally would not fail to recognize his friend's handwriting, he rushed to the hidden compartment in disbelief, grabbed a letter and read it again.

Mardo, who felt that the atmosphere was not right, said:

"Uld, we have known each other for so many years, we have studied together, we have gone to the battlefield together, we have shared the spoils together, we have recruited prostitutes together, you don't really believe this brat's slander!"

"False accusation? You really can support it! Why, it's written here in black and white, what are you pretending to do?" Shalan hooked her hands, and the wizard hand took a letter and threw it at Mardo's face.

While being trampled under Edgar's feet, Maldo struggled to look through the letter, and immediately turned pale.

This envelope, this paper, this wax, this seal, this handwriting, if he hadn't clearly remembered that he hadn't written it, he would definitely consider himself a traitor.

"Ahh! I really haven't done it! I haven't done it! Uld, believe me! Believe me!" Mardo struggled and shouted crazily.

Before Uld could speak, he heard the sound of fierce fighting outside the mansion.

"Are you Fengshen Church crazy? Stop, why are you attacking the nobles of the Principality!"

"Rebellion! The Fengshen Church has rebelled!"

"Shut up, you are the ones who betrayed!"

How can the family power of a mere viscount withstand the elite troops of the Fengshen Church?
After a while, Viscount Mardo's subordinates were killed, wounded, and arrested.

After a while, the prison cars took Viscount Maldor's family and Viscount Ould to the dungeon of the castle.

Before distinguishing whether Viscount Ould was involved, Edgar could only control him.

"It's bad! The troops under Mardo and Uld's rebellion, opened the city gate, and fled to the Asshai military camp outside the city!" A panting orderly conveyed the terrible news to Edgar. news.

"Damn!"

Edgar was startled and frightened, regretting why he didn't think of taking down Mardo and Uld's power in the army.

At the same time, I was a little thankful that I reacted decisively and did not give them the opportunity to conspire with Yasha, so that these rebels could only escape instead of opening the city gate and joining forces with Yasha to seize the city.

Edgar's face was cloudy and uncertain, and his thoughts were beating. After a long time, his expression suddenly became ruthless, and he arranged:
"I can't help it, I can't keep it going like this. Everyone, take a gamble with me!

If we win the bet, we can seize the magic cannon and turn defeat into victory;
If you lose the bet, prepare to retreat to the capital! "

Edgar turned his head to look at the priest with a gray beard, and said:
"Bishop Moran, please take over a thousand church troops to take over the remaining standing army in the city, pack up supplies, defend the city, and be ready to meet us and escape at any time."

Morane looked at Edgar, who was exuding a different kind of leadership, and nodded silently.

"Claire, go and tell the remaining church troops to bring three days' rations and be ready to go with me at any time!
Fansha, Tracy, Shalan, Mayu, I'm sorry, although I really want you to take a good rest, but I urgently need your strength now! "

The girls looked at the sincere Edgar in front of them, and nodded one after another, but they still remembered the scene of Edgar walking down the city wall from time to time...

Following Edgar's order, the entire city of Talodan turned slowly like a huge war machine, preparing everything quickly.

Edgar had the idea of ​​attacking the team transporting the magic cannon before Salter could react, and seized the idea of ​​imitation research on the magic cannon.

If it can be done, it will not be a loss if the city of Talodan is lost.

……

At this time, outside the city of Talodan, several anxious young people surrounded John Tucker asking non-stop:

"Your Excellency John, why don't you just take the city of Talodan together?"

"Your Excellency, our relatives are still in the hands of those magic sticks. I don't know what you promised..."

"What does the Grand Duke of Assia think of our group of 'betrayers'? No..."

It turned out that when Salter and Ryan had a banquet, John led the army to attack the city of Talodan again.

During the melee, John put on the equipment and clothing of the defenders by night, and boldly sneaked into the city.

Then John sneaked into Viscount Maldor's house with the magic props of invisibility and shape-changing given by Sartor, and gave Viscount Maldor a big gift (letter).

Then he hid in Tibet, touched the camp of the army controlled by the Mardo and Urd families, put himself at risk, and told the Aeolus Church that he wanted to attack them, so he would turn to Asshai instead.

Of course, the children of these families didn't believe it, but at this time the signal of the green-haired witch appeared in the sky, and they were not unaware of the movement of the church army, plus John's convincing words.

They sent people back to the center of the city to check, and they saw that the church army surrounded the residences of the two families.

This is ironclad proof.

The children of these families wanted to lead soldiers to rescue their relatives, but John tried to persuade them.

The way to dissuade them is probably to list the current strength of Edgar's side. If you go, you will send your head to seek death. Why don't you escape first, and Yasha will definitely rescue them in the future.

Under the onslaught of Asshai, the hearts of the people in the city were fluctuating, and John's hype promises overwhelmed the reason of these family children, and they escaped from Talodan City with the army they could control.

Before leaving, he destroyed the city defense facilities of Ximen and set fire to it.

In fact, if he just stirred up internal strife in the city, caused the bombing of the camp in the city, and took the opportunity to lead the army to attack the city, then Taalodan could be easily captured.

But John's plan is not just as simple as taking the city!
