Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning
Chapter 726: Persuading Surrender (Part )
"Uncle, we must make plans early." A young knight came behind Ifri and reminded him in a low voice.
Looking at the scene in the distance, Ivli said nothing.
The king ordered him to defend the city of Rostock for half a month, but facing an army of 200,000, he could not even hold it for five days.
Ifriy put his hands on the battlements and looked at the moat below, which was five hundred meters wide. In the water, there were countless Barbary piranhas, a kind of gregarious magical beasts that could devour a three-thousand-pound beef cattle in just three minutes.
"Pass the order down. From now on, armor and weapons must never be put down. Two thousand soldiers must be maintained on each wall, day or night."
"The city of Rostock is under total lockdown. Except for the military, no one is allowed to leave their homes. Anyone who is suspicious will be killed without mercy."
"Notify the Beast God Church to be ready to activate the divine shield at any time to stop the enemy's strong forces from attacking Rostock City."
"Yes, General."
The herald officer saluted with his chest and quickly left the city wall.
After standing there for a while, Ivli put his hands behind his back, glanced at his nephew, and said in a deep voice, "Come to my study after 11pm."
"Yes, uncle." The young knight replied.
Inside the 15th Army camp, Weilin looked at the documents in his hand, which recorded in detail all the information about the Rostock defender Ilf Means, including his family background, fighting style, and leadership characteristics.
"The Means family has been passed down for three hundred years and exists under the auspices of the German Kingdom's army. Ivli is the current head of the Means family. Forty years ago, the family was involved in the rebellion of the eldest prince Doberman. The previous head of the family and his eldest son committed suicide to prove their innocence, but the family was still hidden for more than thirty years and was reactivated five years ago."
"Tell me, is it possible for this man to surrender to us?"
Kyle took the information about the Means family from his master, took a quick look, and said uncertainly, "It should be possible, but we still have to test it out."
"Then I'll leave it to you. This is the best option if we can take over Rostock without losing a single soldier."
"My subordinate understands."
Late at night, Kyle split out a clone, attached his thoughts to the body, and then used a transformation spell to transform into a gray bird and flew towards the city of Rostock.
The most powerful shadow assassin is only at high silver level and cannot carry out this kind of mission, so he has to do it himself.
In addition, he also wanted to test the effectiveness of the combat skill [One Thought, Multiple Uses] to see if there was anything that needed improvement.
The gray bird flew to the parapet, looked at the dozing soldiers, stayed there for two minutes, and then flew into the city.
After flying around the city of Rostock, the gray bird arrived at an ordinary building based on the deployment of troops and the aura of the strong men in the city.
The gray bird flew to the window, turned into a leaf, and attached itself to the potted plant, observing the master assassin hiding in the dark, while listening to the conversation between the two people in the room.
"Uncle, it's only a matter of time before Geman City falls. For the sake of our family, we have to leave here as soon as possible."
"That's easy to say. Except for you, me, and the other six people including Polite, the rest of the family are under house arrest in the royal capital. If we show any rebellious behavior, they will be beheaded." Iliff looked at his nephew and said in a deep voice.
The young knight clenched his fists and continued to advise, "Uncle, if we defend Rostock City to the death, our family will eventually be destroyed. As long as we escape now, our family still has a chance of survival. As for the family members in the city, I believe they can understand."
"I am the clan leader. I cannot abandon my people. This is what I promised your grandfather." Ilife rejected his nephew without even thinking about it.
"Uncle, can't you see the situation clearly?" The young knight shouted at Iliff, unwilling to give up.
Iliff looked at his nephew who was like a madman, and said expressionlessly: "Well, don't let me hear such words again, otherwise even if you are my nephew, I will behead you in public and use your head to stabilize the morale of the army."
Seeing his uncle's fierce eyes, the young knight was shocked. There were people around him, so he quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake and didn't dare to say anything else.
"Okay, go down and have a rest." Iliff patted the young knight on the shoulder three times, softened his tone, and spoke.
"Yes."
The young knight bowed and saluted, then left the study.
Kyle, who transformed into a leaf, watched the two people part unhappily. He was not in a hurry to show himself, but secretly observed the master assassin's every move.
From Iliff's tone and attitude, Kyle could sense that the other party had discovered that someone was monitoring him, and was pretending to be disappointed in his nephew in order to protect him. As for how much sense of belonging he had to the German Kingdom, further testing was needed.
After seeing his nephew off, Iliff studied the map for two hours, wrote down on paper the areas where the city defense needed improvement, and with a tired look, he passed through the inner door at the side and went into the room to rest.
Half an hour later, Kyle felt the assassin's aura disappear, moved his body slightly to let the moonlight shine on the leaves, and then continued to wait.
In the next two hours, the Master Assassin went back and forth three times to observe whether Iliff would conspire with his nephew in the middle of the night. Seeing that the other party was sleeping in bed, his doubts dissipated and he left Rostock and went to the capital to report.
Outside the city, Kyle's real body opened his eyes and looked at the assassin leaving Rostock. He subconsciously wanted to summon the Spear of Putlanck, but when he thought of the plan to persuade the enemy to surrender, he resisted the urge to act.
"It's time to act."
After saying this, Kyle closed his eyes again and projected his consciousness into his clone.
The leaf slowly changed its shape under the moonlight, turning into a black bird. Its figure became illusory, passed through two stone walls, and came to Iliff's bedroom.
On the bed, Iliff felt a strange breath and suddenly opened his eyes. A small black bird was hanging upside down on the beam, staring at him.
"Who are you?" Iliff secretly prepared to escape from the bedroom at any time.
Kyle landed on the floor, shed his black bird appearance, and revealed his true face. He asked politely, "General Iliff, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. On behalf of the 15th Army of the 4th Corps of the Expeditionary Force, I want to express my sincere greetings to you."
"You are so generous that you just send an Eight-Seal Assassin into the city. Aren't you afraid that I will leave you here?" Iliff stared at Kyle with a sinister look on his face and his tone was full of threats.
"It's just a clone. If it's gone, it's gone." Kyle had a smile on his face, but his tone was cold. "If you destroy my clone, Rostock will be washed in blood when the city is breached. I guarantee that no one will leave the city alive."
