Lord Chronicle

Chapter 141 Brainwashing Expert
But these refugees, let's be honest, Saul kind of hurts.He thought he felt sorry for them, even though he took them in with the idea of ​​increasing the labor force, he was absolutely benevolent in providing food and housing, and taking care of the elderly and children who were unable to work.

But I didn't expect that when the territory was in danger, the refugees would also make trouble.Sol understood that it was because they were terrified, afraid of any further danger.

But is that the reason?Obviously not.Therefore, Thor crushed their idea with absolute coercion, and let these people understand that there is no free lunch in the world, and there is no free peace.

Without waiting for the refugees to argue, Sol waved his hand: "The undead are just outside the city. Anyone who doesn't want to stay here can try to escape and see if they will let you go. Who wants to be protected?" , then contribute your own strength, if you protect the territory, the territory will also protect you, which is fair, because Lovell does not need people who get something for nothing!"

Refugees, you look at me and I look at you, all silent.Finally, Del lowered his head in shame: "We understand, Lord Lord, please forgive our ignorance and cowardice. From this moment on, we will defend your territory to the death."

Sol smiled slightly: "Very good. But there is one thing you said wrong. You are not protecting my territory, but your own homeland."

Hearing that Sol's words meant accepting them as official citizens, all the refugees raised their heads in surprise, their eyes full of emotion.

After solving the refugees, it's time for Sol to do some ideological work for the original residents of Lovell.He stood on the edge of the higher pool and looked around slowly.

"Everyone in Lowell, after several years of hard work, we have completely changed the face of poverty in the territory. I believe everyone can see the changes today." Sol spoke slowly.

"Whether it is an era of peace or a time of war today, we Lowell people have a peaceful and peaceful life. Now, someone wants to destroy our homeland and break this tranquility. Do you agree?"

"No!" At first, only some people said sparsely.

"Promise?" Saul shouted again.

"No!" This time, it was the answer of most people.

"Yes?" Saul asked again.

"No!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Originally, the loyalty of the residents of Lovell was high enough, so Sol didn't need to speak too much, as long as they aroused their hearts of hatred, and this was obviously what he was best at.

"I bring you wealth and development, are you willing to help me protect him?"

"willing!"

"We have repelled the attacks of those undead before, are we confident in repelling them again?"

"Have!"

"Lowell will win!" Thor shouted.

"Lowell must win!" Everyone greeted.

"Let those undead go to hell!"

"Yes, to hell with them!"

"I am the most handsome!"

"The lord is the most handsome!"

……

Under Saul's successful brainwashing, the scene seemed to have turned into a grand MLM conference. Everyone raised their arms and shouted excitedly, even Kress who knew the truth was no exception...

At the same moment, on the city wall outside the town, Tavia and Walsa looked at each other as they heard the loud sound resounding through the sky from inside the town: "It's unbelievable, how did this guy do it?"

************************************************** ********************
After the residents were dealt with, before he had time to catch his breath, Sol, who was born to work hard, rushed to the branch of the Adventurer's Guild in Lowell without stopping.In order to deal with the attack of the undead more effectively, he also needs the assistance of some adventurers and magicians.

"It turns out to be the lord, what can I do?" The person in charge of the left-behind branch is still Sog. Since the Klan team was completely wiped out last time, he felt a little guilty when he saw Sol.

"How many people are here now?" Saul asked.

"Not too many, especially the lack of Warcraft capture team." Sorge said somewhat unnaturally.

Sol doesn't care what the monster capture team is, he said: "I'm asking about adventurers, especially archers and magicians, how many people are in the territory?"

Seeing that he wasn't here to track down the Klan team, Sog felt a little relieved.He said: "Rarely, you also know that the current situation is chaotic, and many people have gone to other territories to find opportunities to make a fortune."

Sol also knows that for adventurers and mercenaries, the more chaotic the situation, the easier it is for them to make money, so fewer people are willing to stay in Lowell.

However, there were much more necromancers attacking the territory this time than last time, and it was absolutely difficult for Walsa alone to deal with them. Thor urgently needed more mages and priests to fight against the undead.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Help me gather all the idle adventurers currently in the territory, I want to hire them. In addition, I need to talk to the people in the relic forest, please help me arrange it."

"Relic, relic forest?" Sog said in surprise, "I'm afraid I can't make the decision."

"Really?" Saul said again: "Then who is in charge now, help me find him."

Soge still shook his head: "This... I can't tell you."

Saul was a little impatient: "Then what do you know?"

Soge said with an aggrieved face: "I can't help it, I'm only in charge of the daily work of the branch, and I have no right to intervene in the matter of the relic forest."

In an emergency, Sol couldn't care so much anymore, he waved his hand: "I don't care, anyway, find me someone who can talk, or I will have to go in by myself."

Soge turned pale with shock: "This is absolutely not possible, you have an agreement with the guild, and you must not interfere with the affairs of the forest..."

Sol grabbed his collar: "Now the army of the undead is outside the town, I don't care what agreement or disagreement, I will do it immediately."

"This... this..." Under Sol's persecution, Sog was sweating profusely, but he still refused to agree.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Don't embarrass him, this matter is really not up to Sog."

Sol turned his head and saw a man standing at the door at some point, it was Raul, the leader of the Adventurer's Guild in the eastern part of Dinar.

He nodded to Sog: "Go down, leave this to me."

Heaved a sigh of relief as if he had received an amnesty, Sog hurriedly left the room and closed the door respectfully.

After there were only two people left in the room, Raul first motioned Sol to sit down, and then said: "I saw it just now, the lord did a great job."

Sol was taken aback: "Are you also in the square just now?"

Raul nodded and said, "Of course, that's why I was able to witness the wonderful performance of the lord. To be honest, it's really admirable."

To Saul, this fact was not a glorious one.He coughed in embarrassment: "Cough... don't talk about this yet. Now that you know what's going on, it's easy to handle. I need you to lend me some adventurers."

Raul shook his head without thinking: "I'm sorry, this won't work."

"Why?" Saul asked in surprise.

Raul spread his hands: "I think you should be very clear about our agreement. The relic forest is completely under the responsibility of the guild. No matter what happens, Lovell has no right to intervene. We also regret this invasion of the undead, but this It's your business and has nothing to do with the guild."

Unexpectedly, the other party was so unfeeling, Sol couldn't help but said: "But we also have an agreement, once the territory is in danger, your guild is obliged to help me."

Raul said: "Of course I remember, but this does not include the people in the relic forest."

As he said that, he got up calmly and walked out: "Forgive me for not being able to agree to your request, and I apologize for that. However, we will fulfill the agreement and immediately help you gather idle adventurers who are still in the territory."

"Is it okay for the undead to attack?" Thor said behind him.

Raul stopped, but didn't turn around: "This is Lovell's problem, and there is nothing we can do to help."

"Really? Then there's nothing I can do." Sol sighed deliberately: "If Lovell is finished, it will be difficult for me to guarantee the safety of the relic forest."

Turning around like a whirlwind, Raul stared at Sol with sparkling eyes: "What did you say?"

"Ah, didn't I tell you?" Sol shrugged his shoulders: "I met some necromancers last time, and they seemed to be looking for the thing kept by Bravella. I was just about to say, this time Maybe that's what they came for."

As he said that, he stood up with a relaxed face, and walked towards the door: "So you are not worried at all, it seems that I am thinking too much."

"Wait!" Raul quickly stopped him: "What you said is true?"

"It's up to you to believe it or not." Sol said lightly.

"This..." Raul's face gradually became serious.

To be honest, he didn't really believe Thor's words, but the things in the relic forest were too important to the Adventurer's Guild, so he couldn't help but be careless.What's more, the necromancer suddenly came to the door this time, and the matter itself was weird. Who can tell whether they really came for that thing?
In the end, the interests of the guild prevailed.Raul said helplessly: "I will send some people to you, please repel the undead."

The guardians in the relic forest are all adventurers directly under the adventurers guild. They are much more powerful than ordinary adventurers who can be hired with money.

The secret channel is really walnut-tempered, cheap, and he has to be beaten to get enlightened.Sol turned around with a smile on his face and said: "Thank you for the generous assistance of the Adventurer's Guild. Your Excellency is indeed a good friend of the people of Lowell."

Now that this is the case, what else can Raul say?He said dumbfoundedly: "Your lord is overrated."

************************************************** **********************
After Saul left, Raul did not leave the room, but stood there thinking about something.

"Mr. Raul..." After a while, Sorge appeared at the door.

"Is that you, come in." Raul beckoned to him.

"Do you think what he just said is true?" Sogg asked tentatively.

Raul snorted: "I have dealt with this guy before, and I can only believe half of what he says. However, there have been rumors recently that the Necromancer Guild played a disgraceful role in this war, and even the Magician Guild They are also secretly investigating them. These undead are obviously brewing a rather huge plan, so it is not impossible for them to focus on things in the relic forest."

After a pause, he continued: "So no matter what he said is true or just a bluff, we can't let the undead threaten the forest. Well, let him be proud now. After the excavation of the ruins is completed, there will be another It's of no use."

"The subordinate understands." Sog nodded knowingly.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want you to do." Raul gestured for him to move closer.

After Sog came closer, he whispered: "The last time I asked you to catch that girl named Mira, it seems that there is no result yet."

Soge lowered his head in fear: "This subordinate is incompetent, but that girl is too difficult to deal with, and we can't do it blatantly, so..."

"It doesn't matter, because there is a good opportunity for what is ready." Raul smiled secretly.

"You mean?"

Raul snorted softly: "Don't you understand? After the battle starts, the whole territory will be in chaos. Who will pay attention to the whereabouts of a little girl?"

Slightly startled, Sog reacted immediately.He nodded again and again: "This subordinate knows what to do."

Patting him on the shoulder, Raul emphasized his tone: "But remember, you must not leave any traces. This is your last chance, it's best not to let me down."

"Yes, the subordinates must do their best." Sog bowed his head deeply.

************************************************** ****************
By the time Sur came out from the Adventurer's Guild branch, it was almost dusk.Under Jessica's call, many young and middle-aged people joined the ranks of aiding the frontline. The town was full of figures carrying sandbags, iron brazing tools and other tools, rushing to the entrance of the town.

So far, the city wall has been quiet, showing that the undead have not yet launched an attack.But under the surface calm, there is a breathless and oppressive air quietly covering the town. Whether it is civilians or soldiers, everyone's face is tense. This kind of psychological pressure can even make people look forward to it. The battle begins quickly.

Although he was hungry, Sol didn't bother to find some food. Under the escort of the guards, he also hurried to the entrance of the town.If you can seize a moment now, it is a moment.

Just turning the corner of the street ahead, a group of people suddenly came in front of them. It was the engineering team led by Manson.A group of craftsmen drove a few carriages, also heading towards the entrance of the town. The carts were full of iron pieces, weapons, forging equipment and other things. It seemed that they had received Jessica's mobilization order and were ready to go to support .

"My lord." From afar, Manson saw him when he walked to the front.

"It's Manson." Saul ran to him in a few steps, and sat in the carriage unceremoniously: "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death."

Without a word, Manson handed over a piece of bread, and Saul took a bite, almost breaking his tooth.He spit it out with a bah: "What is this, is it flour ground with iron sand?"

Manson snorted: "Pampered humans, we dwarves eat this when casting."

Sol curled his lips, secretly thinking that I don't have such a good appetite as you, so I'd better go to Jessica for some human food later.

Throwing the bread back into the basket, Saul asked Manson, "How about it, do you think that wall can stop the undead?"

Manson said proudly: "Don't underestimate the skill of the dwarves. Although it is only made of sand and mud, we are very confident in terms of its strength. Besides, it is equipped with many defensive weapons. With an enemy of that size, it is impossible to take a step over the wall."

Saul was overjoyed at first, and when he heard the last sentence, he smiled wryly and said, "Can we only defend against an attack of the same scale as last time?"

Manson looked at him with big eyes: "Why, are there many people this time?"

Sol sighed: "There are many more, and there seem to be many powerful monsters."

"That's it." Manson fell into deep thought: "Then there is no other way. This outer wall was built from the beginning to defend against ordinary attacks. It seems that I need to discuss with the patriarch to see how to make it last for a long time. a little."

"Please, the safety of the territory depends entirely on you." Thor said to him.

In the case of an absolute advantage in the number of enemies, the defender can only rely on solid defense facilities to have a chance of winning. Diviji Castle is the best example.Without the dangerous terrain and strong walls of the castle, it would be impossible for them to defend so many Lulin enemy troops.

The problem Lovell is facing is the same now, but Sol is obviously not as lucky as Gein. All he can rely on is a five-meter-high outer wall.And the wall wasn't even made of stone, Thor couldn't think about it.

Now we can only hope that these dwarves can perform supernormally.

"My lord, don't worry, we will definitely win." At this time, a craftsman walking beside the carriage said to him.

"You said it very well in the square. Our homeland must be defended by ourselves. Even if the city wall really collapses, we will take up the hammer and join the battle." Another craftsman patted himself strong chest.

"Yes, please don't forget that we are also a member of the fighters."

"We will never let those undead step into the territory."

……

For a while, the craftsmen around said one after another.

"Big, everyone..." Saul looked at these enthusiastic and heroic craftsmen with emotion.

"Hmph, although I don't like you, I have to admit that you are a good lord." At this moment, Manson patted him on the back.

"it is good!"

Sol got excited, and he climbed onto the roof of the carriage in twos and threes.Stand still in lunge, with one hand on hips and one hand pointing to the sky, and make the following declaration:

"Everyone, I'm here to assure everyone that no matter how many undead come, I will keep our territory standing!"

"Lowell will never fall!" The artisans below were incited with enthusiasm.

At this time, I saw the wheels of the carriage knocking on the stones on the road...

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Quick, catch him!"

Looking at the people rushing around behind the carriage, Manson stroked his beard helplessly: "Oh, I think it's already fallen before the fight started..."

************************************************** ********
"You, what's going on with you?" Jessica looked at Sol with a bruised nose and a swollen face, still bleeding from his nose.

"It's okay, is everyone here?" Sol deliberately didn't think about the embarrassing thing just now.

This is the temporary headquarters on the front line, and the city wall is ahead.In the tent at this moment, Jessica, Kress, Tavia, Leo, Lesta, Volsa, Elliott, Poch and other Lovell command staff have gathered.On the table in the center of the tent is a sand table made by Manson.

"Kip hasn't come back yet," Jessica said without taking her eyes off Sol's face.

Frowning, she stood up: "I'm still worried, I'll call Kafir to treat you."

When she reached the door, she poked her head out and yelled something, and soon Kafir walked in.Seeing Sol's face, she exclaimed, "Sol, what's the matter with you?"

"Don't make a fuss, I just..." Sol was still avoiding the question.

"I said it's okay after bleeding so much, I'll help you heal immediately." Kafir hurried over, facing his face with his hands, a soft white light quickly lit up.

"This is the dispatch report of the personnel and material report." Jessica handed over a piece of paper while Kafir was healing.

Taking a casual glance at the densely packed data above, Sol put it aside, anyway, as long as Jessica was doing things, he would be at ease.

He asked Kress, "How many people do we have available right now?"

Kress quickly said: "There are 114 garrison members, 326 dwarf mercenaries, and 207 cavalry from the Royal Knights, a total of 647 people."

Among them, most of the defenders are veterans who have withdrawn from Diviji Castle, and they are powerful.The combat effectiveness of dwarven mercenaries should not be underestimated, and the Royal Knights are the elite cavalry.

This is probably the only lucky thing. This time, whether it is the number or quality of soldiers, it is the strongest in Lovell's history.

Sol nodded: "In addition, I also borrowed a group of adventurers from the Adventurer's Guild. There are many mages and priests, and they should be able to play a big role."

"Great." Walsa said, he knew very well the role of magicians in dealing with the undead.

The dwarf patriarch Leo said: "If necessary, our dwarf artisans can also go to the battlefield."

Sol waved his hand: "Thank you, Patriarch, but it's not used yet."

Just kidding, dwarf craftsman, I have been looking forward to this for a long time, how can I let the necromancer ruin it so easily.

At this time, Kafir had finished treating Sol. She didn't interrupt when everyone was talking, but stepped aside obediently, and stood quietly behind Sol.It has to be said that after training in Diviji Castle, she has also matured a lot.

"So, now we're waiting for Chip to come back." Thor pondered, "It's very troublesome, and I don't know the details of the enemy at all."

Before the words finished, a person walked into the tent: "I'm back."

"Chip!?" Everyone looked at the person in surprise.

He still looked calm and calm, except for some dust on his body, it was impossible to tell that this person had just walked into the enemy's formation.

"It's good that you come back, how's the situation?" Saul asked Kress to move a stool.

Chip sat down unceremoniously: "Basically figured it out."

As he spoke, he took out a simple map of the territory from his pocket, pointed and said, "Most of them are here..."

"Use this." Manson pressed his palm on the map, and then pointed to his masterpiece.

Only then did Chip notice the sand table, and he smiled: "I forgot about this, it's really much more convenient."

Standing up and walking to the sand table, he was about to speak when he suddenly heard Kafir say, "Um...do you want me to go out?"

Before Sol could answer, Jessica said, "The medical team will play a big role in the battle, so please stay."

Unexpectedly, it was her who said this, Kafir couldn't help but glanced at Jessica gratefully, and then happily stood beside Sol, embracing his arm.

At this moment, Chip pointed to the sand table, facing the mountains in the small town of Lovell, and said: "Most of the enemies are gathered in front of us, except for what can be seen now, there are still many hiding in this valley. "

"How many?" Kress asked.

Chip shook his head: "It's difficult to get close, but the estimated number should be more than 5000."

Hiss... Everyone gasped at the same time.At present, the number of people gathered under the city is already astonishing, and there are more than 5000 hidden in the valley. These necromancers are really willing to spend their money, and who knows how many difficult things there are.

"Is there any more?" Tavia was a little calmer.

"In addition, there are a few zombies on this side, this side and this side, but their number is not enough to attack. It seems that they are only used to defend the flanks of the large army." Chip pointed to several other zombies on the sand table. Partially tapped.

Due to the intuitive effect of the sand table, everyone quickly saw the current situation clearly.Necromancers are not good at strategy. They always like to use the "corpse sea tactic" to destroy the opponent simply and directly. This time is no exception. It seems that they still plan to use the old tactic.

While Chip was explaining, Manson continued to fill in numbers on some small flags, and then inserted them into the corresponding positions.Staring at the entire sand table, Jessica murmured: "Tell me, will they attack the territory from other directions?"

With the number of undead, it is not difficult to do this, they can even come to a comprehensive siege.On the contrary, Lovell's forces are scarce, and it is much more difficult to defend on all sides.

Chip shook his head: "I don't think so. First of all, Lovell's complex terrain is not suitable for the use of a large number of troops." As he spoke, he gestured on the sand table.

"The northern and western sides of the territory are the Mario Mountains and the Western Mountains respectively. The forests are dense. After the city wall is built, there is very little room for the enemy to deploy their troops. The south is the Yire River. It is currently in the flood season, and the water flow It's fast, but the undead have almost no troops that can fight in the water. Therefore, the only way for the enemy to show their hands and feet is the east, which is our front!"

"In addition, the zombies and skeleton soldiers that constitute the main force of the undead army, as well as the large ghouls, all move slowly and have no intelligence at all, so it is difficult to cooperate with each other. So it's not that the necromancers don't want to use strategy, but they It is determined by the characteristics of their units that they can only attack from the front." Finally, Chip said.

He slapped his chin, and Walsa praised: "It's amazing. This is exactly the same as the analysis of the undead by the Magician's Guild. This is their biggest weakness."

Although he was praised, Chip just nodded calmly: "Therefore, I suggest that only a small number of people need to be put on guard on the other three sides, and we should concentrate our troops on defense here."

Sol and Jessica looked at each other, and then decided: "Then do this, the specific deployment will be arranged by Kress."

"I understand." Kress, who received the order, walked out.

"Kafiel, I will hand over the doctors to you to command. After the battle starts, you must ensure the survival rate of the wounded as much as possible." Saul turned to Kafir.

"En!" Kafir nodded heavily.

"Materials..." Saul looked at Jessica again.

Before he could finish speaking, Jessica said flatly, "With me here, there will be no problem."

"Then the engineering team..."

Leo took the words: "In this regard, please feel free to leave it to the craftsmen of the Ik tribe."

Everyone is very confident.Thor breathed a sigh of relief: "Then please everyone. Before the battle, eat something..."

woo...

At this moment, there was a dull sound of horns outside the tent, followed by many people running and shouting.

"finally come."

Looking at each other, everyone thought at the same time.
