Chapter 926 Return to Morvia ([-])

Chapter 32 Return to Morvia ([-])
After all, Morvia is the capital of the Principality of Moore, where the essence of the country resides. Moreover, Stannis did not send out reinforcements when facing the full-scale attack of the murlocs. Instead, he concentrated all the elites in Morvia. Although this approach is equivalent to abandoning other areas of the Principality of Moor, causing these areas to fall quickly under the attack of murlocs, it also strengthens the defense of Morvia itself. Although humans are an amphibious species, there are still many inconveniences in going too far into the land, and it is impossible to concentrate all the troops. Therefore, even if the city is besieged by murlocs, the situation in Morvia is not too dangerous, at least it is much better than Tanzan City.

However, the feeling of being besieged is not good after all, so the residents of Morvia had a hard time for a few days, so when the murlocs retreated, everyone rejoiced, even though the murlocs retreated It's inexplicable, and it's not even clear whether it's a trick or not.

In the Grand Duke's mansion of Morvia, Stannis stood in front of a large table, on which was a detailed map of Morvia, and there were exquisite wooden carvings for marking on individual key parts, such as barracks, armory, grain depot, The mage tower and so on are all available, helping Stannis to have an overview of the overall situation.

Some of his cronies were chattering away, most of them were discussing the retreat of the murlocs, because there was really no reason. But it's just a drop in the bucket, there's no injury at all, the siege has just begun, so it's time to withdraw?
"Your Highness, most of the scattered spies have returned, and the murlocs have indeed withdrawn, and it doesn't look like they left a trap."

The one who spoke was a burly middle-aged man with a sharp face. He was originally the leader of the famous mercenary group "Brother of Wrath" in the south of the Tanris Continent. Later, the entire mercenary group was secretly bought by Stannis and became his The secret army of Stannis played a decisive role in Stannis' usurpation battle. It was the "Brigade of Wrath" that ambushed Gwen Leia and captured her.

After Stannis succeeded in usurping the throne, the "Brigade of Wrath" turned into his Grand Duke's bodyguard, and its leader was also named a viscount under his reward. Although the title is not high, the power is very heavy. Seaworth, the mercenary leader who didn't even have a surname among the civilians, got his wish, and even rushed to the front in the ensuing purge, eradicating countless opponents for Stannis.

Stannis nodded silently, his face was as calm and stern as water, and he was completely different from the enthusiastic and even a little servile Stannis that Lin Yang and others saw in the Holy City of Guangjue, maybe this is his true face Bar.

Another middle-aged man dressed as a spell caster said: "One of my mages who is good at changing spells transformed into a murloc and mixed into the murloc army, but he is weak except for the transformation technique, so the murlocs are very weak. When the people retreated, they were coerced and couldn't leave together, but before that, he sent me a spell message. The message was very brief, saying that the murlocs seemed to become extremely confused all of a sudden, but he could only mix with the murlocs. No further information can be obtained from the periphery of the person."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man shook his head. He is the leader of the magic advisory group around Stannis. After Stannis spared no expense to recruit, he still gathered an advisory group mainly composed of warlocks and mages. It's just that the level of strength is not very good. The leader himself is only an extraordinary middle-level, and there are even mage apprentices in the advisory group, but this is quite rare for the Principality of Moore. There is no way that the country is too small and weak to attract Not enough.

Just like the sorcerer who was sent out to investigate, he was only level [-] and had just gotten rid of his status as a sorcerer's apprentice, and the spell he knew was just a transfiguration, so it was useless except for scouting , but now I'm afraid it's a miserable end, because his transformation technique has a time limit...

(Several murlocs who were eating a human corpse looked up)
In any case, the murloc siege finally retreated, and the spies who went out several times also reported that the murloc retreated cleanly, and there were no small troops left behind. This is always a good thing.

Stannis looked around the map with a cold gaze. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and raised his head and said, "Is there any news from Tanzan City? The murloc siege over there is stronger than Morvia's." Much more, did the murlocs retreat too?"

Because of the limited area of ​​the Principality of Moor, the distance between Tanzan City and Morvia is actually not that far, and the straight-line distance is only a few hundred miles. If you have a good horse as a mount, you can run a distance in a day. Back and forth, so the news on both sides is still very well informed, that is, the murlocs have blocked the road recently.

"The personnel sent to Tanzan City have returned, it's just their report..."

Seaworth hesitated for a moment, and said: "Their report is a bit unbelievable. I think it may be a rumor, so I didn't report it immediately."

"Unbelievable?"

Stannis stared, and said, "How?"

"The siege of the murlocs over Tanzan City has also been lifted, but it is said that the murlocs did not retreat, but were completely defeated."

Seaworth said: "There are rumors that the Marquis Selga received the favor of the gods, and the divine light of punishment descended from the sky, completely wiping out all the murlocs in one fell swoop."

As soon as this remark came out, the nobles present all laughed a little. The southern part of the Tanris Continent can be called a desert of faith. Even the belief of human gods is not widely spread here, and the power of the sect is very weak, and Selga The Marquis is even a well-known unbelievers, such a person will be favored by the gods... What a joke!
So it must be that the people in Tanzan City are just talking nonsense, maybe they are frightened by the fish-men.

Immediately, someone shouted: "Who are you, Seaworth, who are you sending? Can you believe such rumors, and even report them? How stupid is this? Hmph, after all, they are mercenaries with little knowledge. Maybe it’s true.”

There was a burst of ridicule all around, most of them were the nobles who took refuge in Stannis, and naturally looked down on Seaworth, the humble mercenary leader, and laughed when they got the opportunity.

Seaworth's face turned red immediately, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The people I sent were all very experienced and worldly veterans, and I swear that they went to the beach and other places where the murlocs landed. All of them are traces of being bombarded by powerful spells, and the range is extremely wide!"
