The undead legion's attack did not stop because of what happened in the city, and at dusk of the same day, the tide of the dead legion came up again, relying on the hedras that had been installed in the towers, including some of the low-level hedrons transported from the palace, the towers continued to exert great destructive power.
The night was still peaceful, but at dawn, the undead army did not retreat as they had done in the previous two days, but launched an attack on the city without hesitation, and the undead zombies who had been weakened by the influence of the sun became even more vulnerable.
This part of the undead were all transformed by the former royal capital garrison, and the number itself was limited after all, and the number was further reduced by the bombardment of large defense towers for several days, until this morning, when the last undead soldier who had rotted to the point of skeletal collapse staggered, everyone erupted in the most enthusiastic cheers.
The undead legion was finally wiped out, and the thousands of soldiers defending the city paid a tiny price, which filled them with a great sense of accomplishment.
And Xiao Lin and Luo Jianhui, who participated in the command, could only look at each other and smile bitterly, the price of today's victory is all the energy crystals they have left at the end, from tomorrow, most of their defense towers will lose all their effects, obviously the enemy also expected this, the purpose of the undead legion has been achieved, so today will not count the casualties and put the last undead legion into it.
This day Xiao Lin fell asleep in a restless mood, and when he was pushed to wake up again, he received the more unexpected news that the king had committed suicide.
Liang Taibai told him alone about this in the office, and the king's body was found in his bedroom earlier, because the prince had already arranged for people from the Dawning Academy, so the possibility of assassination was basically ruled out.
Liang Taibai whispered, a little regretful, but it didn't sound like an accident.
"I should have expected this."
Xiao Lin was silent for a long time before he spoke, after leaving yesterday, he was thinking about how the king would give up the throne to his own granddaughter, but he didn't expect that it would be such a direct way.
"It's the best outcome."
Liang Taibai sighed softly: "Although it is not too appropriate for the king to die at this time, if the siege is over, it is not up to us to decide who will succeed the king."
He understood this very well, so he chose to commit suicide at the most opportune time, which was the best ending to save the kingdom of roses. ” "This is a suicide note he left behind, saying that he was going to pass it on to Ibeya."
Xiao Lin took a piece of paper from Liang Taibai's hand and said that it was a suicide note, but only a few words were scribbled on it with blood: Rose is handed over to you.
"Will there be any changes on the side of the army?"
Xiao Lin asked.
"Don't worry, the main departments of the basic military, political and financial affairs have been hollowed out by us, although there are a very small number of people who swear allegiance to the king, but this part of the people has long been controlled by us, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation."
The two communicated briefly for a while, and they gave this matter so easily, when they came out of the office, even Xiao Lin himself felt a sense of being at home, but everything was so realistic, he suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the king, and at this moment he could really feel that the Dawning Academy had a deep penetration into the country, as long as they were willing, this kind of abolition could completely depend on their mood to make a decision.
Although Ibeya didn't have any feelings for her grandfather, she was also stunned for a long time after Xiao Lin got the news here, looking at the suicide note with a few numbers, she suddenly whispered: "I will do better than him!"
Definitely!
” "Yes, I believe so."
Xiao Lin was not sure if Ibeya had this experience, but as the sole heir to the Saint Cro family, he believed that Ibea must have been instilled with this concept by his father and uncle as a child, and that her future was destined to be the supreme one, not the queen, and certainly the patriarch of the family.
Although it may seem a little too early, Ibea did not feel any unpleasant, and after the initial inexplicable low, she showed a very high level of enthusiasm, and quickly threw herself into the role, taking on the link between the embassy and the dark family.
Later that day, Xiao Lin accompanied Ibea to the Succubus Sisaiah House again, and after hours of negotiations that bordered on a tug-of-war, various preliminary agreements were reached, including raising the Dark Family's status in the royal capital, providing more residency rights, and reducing the taxes they paid.
The enthusiasm of the dark family is very high, but they also understand that Ibeya is just a link, and it is the embassy that really calls the shots, but Liang Taibai has delegated a lot of power this time, as long as it does not involve the three main rights of military, political and financial affairs, all other administrative powers are left to Ibeya to decide freely.
Liang Taibai also explained to Xiao Lin what is the right to arbitrarily decide in wartime, because of the high cost of space communications, they are expatriate diplomats, if they are faced with urgent matters and it is difficult to contact Dawn City at any time, they have the right to make decisions that are in line with the situation according to their own judgment.
The Dark Clans were also very efficient, and after reaching an agreement with Ibeya, each clan quickly sent personnel and equipment to temporarily recruit an army of more than 6,000 people.
There are dozens of families in the royal capital, with fewer people from small families and more people from large families.
Coupled with the original defenders of the royal capital, the number of defenders of the city exceeded 10,000, and in the past few days, through the mobilization of the whole city, a legion of more than 20,000 people was temporarily pulled out, but this legion was composed of civilians, without any military training, but only joined part of the earth's merchants in it, which was also the result of coordination with those merchants.
In this way, the royal capital also has more than 30,000 troops, although the combat effectiveness is a little worrying, but relying on the strong city wall, it can still fight.
The rebel troops soon arrived under the city, and after losing the long-range bombardment of the towers, these rebels swaggered and stationed the barracks at a close distance from the king, but they were soon bombarded by crazy spells from the city, although there were no towers, but about one-fifth of the more than 6,000 people in the army composed of the dark family had good spell attack capabilities.
The number of rebels is not as much as imagined, about seventy or eighty thousand people, although they have a batch of siege equipment, but there are no too high-level magic equipment, in this world full of magic, the defense of the city is still dominant, so in the next few days of fierce battles, the rebels did not take any advantage.
