The chaos and massacre lasted for forty minutes until the Lord retreated with the remaining troops to a narrow cliff near the cliff, and then built a breast wall with stones and corpses, which barely resisted the crazy attack of the monsters.
Feeling the strong smell of blood in the air, he was finally a little relieved with blood on his face and armor, and asked without looking back: "how many soldiers can we fight now?"
"If the people who can afford weapons are included, there are about 500 people. However, many people have been injured, and no more than 300 people really retain their full combat effectiveness. The most important thing is that we have lost almost all our supplies due to the chaos just now. At present, we only carry dry food for no more than three days. Of course, this is not the worst. The worst What's more, we can only keep the drinking water for two days at most. "The slightly old knight lowered his voice and said the current severe situation.
It can be said that the sudden attack of monsters directly knocked down this greedy generation with high morale and a desire for wealth and strength from the cloud to the bottom.
Now, no one will consider plundering the priceless treasures in the tower, but rack their brains and try every means to live.
Because they know that there is no second way to go except death.
Nothing else, just no water and no food can make a person starve and die of thirst.
In addition, outside the breast wall, those ferocious monsters did not leave, but waited patiently around. In the dark forest, you can often see pairs of scary eyes with green light.
"Damn it! What should we do now? Wait to die?" the Lord shook his fist and smashed the hard trunk. The expression on his face was full of resentment and unwillingness.
He never dreamed that such a terrible accident would happen to his secure plan at the last minute.
In particular, the number of monsters hiding in the woods is so large that it is not clear. If he had known that it was so dangerous, he would not risk his life to get close, so that he would end up like this.
The knight shook his head helplessly: "sorry, sir, I can't think of any way to help us get out of trouble. Maybe you can try to communicate with the owner of the magic tower and see if you can ask him to let us go."
"Communication? How do you want me to communicate with him? Tell him it was an accident and we didn't come to rob him of his property? Don't be silly! I can guarantee that he must know something about the reason why he dealt with us so recklessly." the Lord growled angrily.
"But this is our only chance to live, my Lord. Anyway, you are an aristocrat and Lord of the city. As long as you are willing to make a certain degree of concession, I think the other party should not dare to do anything to you." a strange light flickered in the knight's pupil.
Not only him, but all the surviving soldiers around him looked at the LORD with similar eyes.
There is no doubt that they want to live, even in humble humiliation, than the so-called "glorious war death".
Aware of this, the Lord's pupil suddenly contracted and asked with vigilance: "what do you want? I'm your Lord! My family and I have ruled this land for more than 300 years!"
"Sir, we have no intention of challenging your rule and authority. We just hope to leave this ghost place alive. Anyway, you are our leader and should stand up and take responsibility at the critical moment, shouldn't you?" a guy who looks like the leader of a mercenary stood up, clutching the hilt of a sword in one hand, as if he could pull out his weapon at any time.
Normally, for such threatening actions and language, knights and guards should stand up for the first time, yell and arrest each other.
But this time, like collective blindness, they deliberately pretended not to see anything and allowed each other to approach their loyal object.
Although several young people tried to stop, they were stopped by their older companions.
For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became quiet and strange to the extreme.
"Responsibility?" the Lord narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at this small role he wouldn't care about in ordinary days.
"That's right! Responsibility! It's you who caused this disaster. It's you who angered the powerful casters in the magic tower that led to our current tragic experience. Now, there are two ways in front of you. One is to take the initiative to negotiate with each other to ensure that the rest can or go home. As for the other, of course, we cut off your head and use it It came to ask the tower master's forgiveness, "said the mercenary leader, slowly pulling out the blood stained sword, and the whole person gave out a dangerous smell.
Even a fool can feel that he is definitely not joking, but intends to really put it into practice.
After all, as mercenaries licking blood at the edge of the knife, these guys don't care about the majesty of the Lord. As long as they have enough profits, they even dare to rob the noble manor.
Anyway, it's a big deal. Do one vote and start over in a place where no one knows you.
In a world where information is transmitted very slowly, you can completely change your map and face almost two or three hundred kilometers away from a city, and the probability of being recognized is negligible.
The Lord, who was used to being high, was obviously angered by the other party's attitude and trembled with a sneer: "good! Good! Very good! I will remember you and you."
After that, he glanced at the expressionless knights and soldiers around him, turned and strode over the breast wall, shouted madly at the depths of the forest: "my name is Kelvin Oren! Lord of this land! Master of the tower! I now ask for face-to-face negotiation with you!"
"Negotiation?" when Zhang Cheng, who was on the upper floor of the tower, heard this sentence, he immediately showed an interested expression and ordered the young people waiting in the forest: "Ellens, go and see what's going on."
"Yes, master." after the young man summoned him, he came out slowly from the depths of the forest.
Of course, he was not alone. He was closely followed by thousands of monsters.
But when he saw the Lord's familiar face, he finally couldn't help sneering and said sarcastically, "ah! I thought it was a noble Lord."
"Are you Ellens?! the lucky apprentice?"
"Yes! But I am no longer an apprentice! With the generous gift of my great master, I have more power than you think."
"Master? Have you taken refuge in the master of the tower?"
"Why not? Anyone who sees the power of his master will become his most loyal servant and believer. Now, kneel down and let me see your awe and obedience to his master, otherwise I promise you won't even have a chance to see him."
