Aldrich looked at the numb slaves and slowly frowned: these people are from the Baier tribe, yes, they are from the Shilan Empire.The city lord said: There has been a war in the Shilan Empire recently, so there are some people who have sold these abandoned Baier people to us at a low price, but to be honest, the Baier people are not suitable to be slaves, they can't stand the climate of the Northern Alliance, and they are always very lazy about the war of the Shilan Empire?
Is it the Church of Chaos and the Church of Light that are finally at war?
A great source of slaves was precisely the prisoners of war.Ivria stopped the city lord from going any further, and she said, "Lord the city lord, I don't mean to disturb you, but the topic of the banquet will be talked about later."
We are here today because of the beast tide.The city lord repeated in confusion: Beast tide?
Efria looked at him in shock, then took a deep breath: the monsters of the Barney Canyon and the Snazena Mountains had already poured out, as well as the monsters of other places, their targets were humans.A hundred years ago, the beast tide once destroyed most of the countries of the Northern Alliance hahahaha.The city lord laughed: A hundred years ago, I was not born yet, don't you laugh, I was telling a joke just now.Efria: The sixteen-year-old eldest lady looked at the castle lord with a blank face, and for a moment she didn't know if he had a problem or if she had a problem.Aldrich took a step forward and said, "Lord of the City, the beast tide has arrived, and two days ago, we arrived at the Thorium Outpost, which, as far as I know, is under your jurisdiction.Now the beast tide must have reached the outpost, and the soldiers are fighting to defend the people, waiting for Dawn City's help.The City Lord twitched the corners of his mouth: "Please stop joking, Miss Efriya, if you are here for a banquet, I invite you very cordially, but such old-fashioned jokes are not welcome here.Lord Castle, if you don't respond immediately, I'm afraid you'll have to have a banquet on people's corpses and in front of demonic beasts.Efria smiled and said, "I'd be interested in seeing this kind of banquet."
The city lord's face slowly sank, he looked at Ivria, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then said, "Please come with me to the council chamber."
The attendant brought two glasses of wine, and the lord asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
But we've never seen a beast tide, and my father's will never told me to be careful about damn beast tide books, not just history books.Evria pushes away the drink: and you'll soon be able to see it for yourself.The city lord shook his head and said: Even so, we have soldiers in front of us, but some magical beasts.Miss Efria, are you too nervous to relax with some drinks?
Efria was already anxious, and according to their estimates, the tide of beasts was closing in on the outpost, and the soldiers were probably fighting with their broken weapons and armor, and were waiting for the reinforcements she had brought with them.Once the outpost is destroyed, the monsters will go straight to Dawn City, destroying all the villages, farmlands, and innocent villagers in their path.Lord of the Castle, you must immediately send soldiers to the outposts to provide support, and inform all the outposts to prepare for joint operations.Efria said sincerely: Once the outpost is destroyed, there will be no more barriers in front of Dawn.And they need your support, Lord Castle, the most important thing to do with soldiers.The city lord waved his hand, sighed, and said, "Miss Efriya, you are still young, and you don't understand that this kind of thing is very complicated.Even if I am a city lord, I need the consent of many parties to transfer troops, and I am not an arbitrary person.Efria said coldly: now is not the time to show off bureaucracy.This is the glorious system!
Then you should at least arrange for the people to evacuate immediately and tell them that the beast tide is coming.They only need to go south to reduce their losses, where the beast tide is smaller.Miss, you're saying it so easily!
And we must not tell them that the foolish people will be terrified!
When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to manage, and they will take advantage of this opportunity to commit crimes, and I have already seen through them.You mean, you're not going to care about it, are you?
Efria asked.Miss, what you said, how could I mean this, but we still need to observe the situation again, and then discuss it with many parties to come up with a correct decision, which will take time!
The so-called correct decision-making is a decision for which no one is responsible, and of course the effect is often very poor, and even leads to the situation becoming more serious and irreparable.But in any case, it is good that there is no need to be responsible, and in the end, it will definitely not be the turn of the nobles to bear the consequences.The soldiers at the outpost didn't have much time.The city lord smiled: "Miss, you have to believe them!"
And it is their honor to be able to fight and die for the country.But they died in the betrayal of their companions.Efria held her forehead and felt her head dizzy for a while: You only need to provide strategic supplies, and I will send the people of the Degar family to the front line, so it's okay, right?
After she finished speaking, the city lord suddenly screamed in his heart, feeling that this eldest lady was really nosy to the point of being bored.But after thinking about it, he thought that this was a good opportunity, and if he could make some more money, he could escape before the beast tide came.Later, the fault for the loss of the beast tide was placed on the soldiers at the outpost and on Ivria, who had fought with all his might to escape, and in this way, he might still be appreciated by the king.It would be better if Efria could die in the midst of the beast tide, there is no proof of death.He showed a hesitant expression: "Miss, you are really kind-hearted, you want me to distribute supplies to the outpost, but I really can't take it out."
Efria asked irritably: Why can't you take it out?
In fact, Degar Bank has been reluctant to lend me any more recently.The city lord's eyes rolled: "Miss, it's better for you to guarantee and take out another loan from the bank, it's all to protect the soldiers at the outpost."
Trust me, I can mortgage more!
What else do you have to pledge?
Titles, antiques, civilians and slaves, I'm the lord of Auroville!
Ivria suddenly had a feeling of utter absurdity.Every time she said a word to the city lord, her head hurt even more, and the fire in her heart almost made her burn.In the process of doing business, she has met all kinds of people, shameless and selfish, full of selfishness, and the shirking of responsibility, this city lord has almost all the characteristics.If it were anything else, Efria wouldn't be so angry and anxious, but she had seen the tide of beasts, the overwhelming beasts coming at her head-on, and anyone's life would be crushed in it, death was close at hand, and her breath could be heard.Something must be done to save this, Efria thought so desperately.The city lord shook his head and approached Efriya: "Miss, think about it again."
Efria stood up and said coldly: I have thought it very clearly.Seeing her indifferent expression, the city lord shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Let's go back when you've had enough, eldest lady, we will hold a meeting to discuss the matter of the beast tide."
It was only because of Count Degar that she had given her some face, and a sixteen-year-old woman had made such a point of criticism to him, which made the lord of the city very disgusted.Standing at the door of the council chamber, Evalia pointed to the slaves in the garden, and suddenly asked, "City lord, how much did you spend on these slaves?"
One silver plus dollar, and a good quality one more money.Is the eldest lady interested in them?
Lord of the Castle, I guess there is a price for all life here.Efria smiled and said, "Do you know, with me, your life also has a price.What?!
Before the city lord could react, a cold light flashed in front of him, and the silent man just now stood beside him, a sharp and cold sword against his chest.You!
As soon as the city lord spoke, Aldrich's sword stabbed into it, and a wound appeared on the city lord's body in an instant, and blood gushed out like a tide.Don't talk.Aldrich whispered: "I've heard enough of you."
The lord looked at them in horror.Efria shuddered: You looked a bit like Noah just now.Noah's words had already killed him just now.Aldrich spoke of Noah in a much softer tone: I am more indecisive than him, so the lord of the city is still alive.If it was him, he would have been ready to kill the city lord on the way to Dawn City and replace him.Hehe, that's true.Evria looked at the city lord: Lord of the city, you seem to have something to say, oh, don't be in a hurry to speak yet, what you can say next is limited.The city lord trembled, but he didn't dare to tremble too much: What do you want to do?!
Evria, how dare you kill me!
I'm the lord of Auroville, and I'm a marquis!
As I said, your life has a price for me, and I can afford it.Ivria said: We don't want to kill you for the time being, as long as you cooperate with us to complete the next matter, you will still be the lord of the city, otherwise, this position will be left to your son.I am just a businessman, and I have always paid attention to mutual benefit and win-win cooperation.Lord of the Castle, let's do some business.The author has something to say: Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2020-07-0417:56:59~2020-07-0420:52:32 ~ Thank you to the little angel who voted for the mine: SaraC1; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 106: Efria and Aldrich quickly take over the operation of Dawn City.Aldrich found a book on the beast tide from a hundred years ago, and found some experience in how to deal with the beast tide at that time.In addition to the solidarity and cooperation of the front-line warriors, the rear also gave full material support, and all the adventurers joined the army to resist the beast tide for free, led by the legendary magician Joe Garcia.In addition to these, it was the Orc Empire that provided quite important assistance, giving the beast tide a fatal blow from behind, causing the beast tide to collapse completely.Efria quickly arranged the next thing to do, summoned the people to move, strengthened the city defenses, sent people to pass the news to the entire Northern Alliance, and issued a commission order in the Adventurers' Association, all adventurers rushed towards the border like a tide, and from the sky, the beast tide and the human tide were like two rapids about to collide.Aldrich made a trip back to the Ark during this time, bringing Julian from the Ark to Auroville.After the initial panic, the people obeyed orders to leave Auroville, and some who did not want to leave were taken away to work in quarrying.There are indeed a lot of troubles, such as the materials they need to migrate, how to accommodate so many people at the destination, and the planning of migration routes, and there are indeed some people who fish in troubled waters.Fortunately, the Degar family already had trade routes throughout the Northern Alliance, and Efria gritted her teeth to deal with these things, and three days later, a young soldier burst into the city lord's palace and handed her a bloody gemstone necklace.Support caught up, but it was too late.All the men of the Thorium outpost were killed, and I was the only one who escaped.The captain said that you can't live up to your expectations.The young soldier said, "But we have not resisted the tide of beasts, it is terrible, they have destroyed all defenses, gnawed at the corpses of people, there is blood everywhere, they are coming soon, if death comes, please Miss Efria leave quickly."
After he had finished speaking, he fell to the ground, silent, and Efria knelt beside him for a moment to examine him, and found a claw print of a monster on his body, which nearly tore him in half.A tear fell silently to the ground, and Evalia took a deep breath, stood up, and said: Bury him, the Thurium outpost has bought us time, and we cannot retreat.That night, they heard the sound of the horde of monsters, Aldrich standing on the wall, dressed in armor and holding the winter wind in his hands.Julian was beside him, holding a magic potion in his hand, and he said: "Spread the smell of this potion, ordinary Warcraft will be afraid of this smell, but it will not last long, and it will not be effective against high-level Warcraft."
He poured out the magic potion, and then the breath that humans could not perceive drifted towards the beast tide, and the monsters visibly became hesitant and frightened, and they lingered where the smell came from, never moving forward.Remember, it doesn't last long.Julian staggered back: But I can definitely make a magic potion that solves the problem more well.When you're tired, take a break.Aldrich whispered, though he himself had been standing on the wall without closing his eyes.Julian waved his hand and walked away.Two days later, the effect of the medicine wore off, and the high-level demonic beasts also rushed over.Aldrich led his army into the tide of beasts, leading the way, and the winter winds reaped the lives of the beasts like the winds swept by the orc empire.The battle lasted for a month, and countless reinforcements continued to pour towards Dawn City, but there were also more and more demonic beasts, among which the number of high-level demonic beasts increased dramatically.The strength of high-level demonic beasts is equivalent to that of magisters, they are either flying, or submerged, or as large as a mountain.It takes ten adventurers at the level of the gold squad or above to kill a high-level demonic beast, Aldrich is in the middle of the battle, the grasp of time is getting stronger and stronger, and he can fight against multiple high-level demonic beasts with the strength of one person, and his performance on the battlefield is gradually eye-catching.During the break, some soldiers smiled bitterly: I have never seen so many magical beasts, if I can survive, I can show off for the rest of my life.Then you have to tell your grandson about your heroism in the Battle of Dawn.Aldrich smiled as he passed by.The soldier scratched his head and said shyly, "Captain, I don't even have a wife."
They didn't know Aldrich's exact position, so they followed the others and called him captain.As the fighting intensified, Aldrich's prestige grew.Unlike other noble lords, Aldrich would give them solid armor and sharp weapons, knives, and shields.Generally speaking, when the nobles' servants and small soldiers, these have to be prepared by themselves, if not, there will only be physical combat.The other soldiers laughed, and the soldier whispered to Aldrich: "Captain, in fact, I am just going to eat as a soldier, the beast tide is too terrifying, the lord of my city has fled, I lost contact with them halfway, and unknowingly entered your team."
The beast tide is indeed terrifying, but the fact that you are in the way every time, Captain, makes me feel less terrible.He looked at Aldrich sincerely, and Aldrich patted him on the shoulder.In the course of his battle with the Beast Tide, Aldrich also made a trip to the Orc Empire.He met with Diana and bluntly said that this beast tide was an opportunity for the Empire and the Alliance to work together again, if the Orc Empire could help.The orcs have already suffered in this matter, Aldrich.Diana said.Your Majesty, the orc empire, which has been fighting all year round, needs friends, not enemies.Aldrich said: "Charcoal in the snow is particularly valuable.Diana smiled: Presumably, the Northern Alliance is no longer the Northern Alliance of a hundred years ago, and I am not the king of a hundred years ago.Take me with you and go to the leader of the Northern Alliance.The headquarters of the Northern Alliance is located in Emerald City, but in the 100 years since the alliance was founded, its control over the member countries has gradually weakened.The reason for the unity of the people in the first place is gone, the competing interests have once again prevailed, the alliance is almost falling apart, and many kingdoms want to be independent, and there are many small conflicts and frictions.The alliance struggled to maintain this balance, and this dilemma reached its peak in the face of the beast tide.
