Infrastructure Throne

This night, for the people of Nanji City, is destined to be engraved in memory forever.

First, the sky was full of lightning and thunder, as if the gods were angry, and then an inexplicable explosion crashed the city wall.

The people who didn't know the truth were awakened by the noise in their sleep, subconsciously thinking that the orc army was attacking again!

They lay tremblingly in front of the window, waiting to die in despair.

But after waiting and waiting, the city quieted down, and nothing happened, as if all the chaos just now was everyone's nightmare.

Only the great nobles who participated in the Three Cities Alliance plan know that Nanji City—from today onwards, will change their surname to Shen!

In the inertial thinking of these nobles, they always felt that the heavily guarded city lord's mansion was the safest, and they stayed with the Antarctic city lord one after another.

Who knew that Shen Qingze alone turned the City Lord's Mansion into a battlefield. In the entire Nanji City, only the City Lord's Mansion suffered heavy losses. Except for a small part of the city wall being bombarded by the fleet's artillery, the rest of the city was intact. , and there were no casualties among the people.

The nobles who hid in the fort with the city lord of Nanji were directly taken over by Shen Qingze from the inside.

They were so regretful that their intestines were green. They knew that the fake surrender would turn into a real surrender, so why did they provoke Yuanliu City?

Isn't it good to be your own nobleman honestly?He actually invited a plague god into the house, and lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot!

Compared with the fear and despair of the Antarctic city lord, the wizard of Pearl City sat on the ground in a daze, facing the scorched black eyes, his heart was beyond shock.

Seeing that the city lord had surrendered, the few remaining soldiers on the periphery could no longer feel any resistance, and their blades fell to the ground.

After the city wall collapsed, the billowing smoke and dust engulfed the stone bricks and mud, and piled up at the foot of the city into ruins. The soldiers guarding the port were like ants on a hot pot, panicked and at a loss.

Until a group of distraught nobles came out of the city lord's mansion with disheveled faces, their hands bound one by one, they lined up obediently, and boarded the fleet of Yuanliu City dejectedly.

Behind them, there was only a man in white, holding a half-person-high wooden staff, slowly at the end of the line, like an overseer escorting prisoners, indifferently directing them to board the ship.

The aristocrats who were usually high above and domineering were completely out of temper and did not dare to say anything. The soldiers in the port were dumbfounded.

The city lord of Nanji was still holding his last breath, supported by his personal guards, trembling every step, when he boarded the boat, he turned his head and gave Shen Qingze a vicious look, now, he can only pin his hopes on the army of Mingzhu City.

"Go ahead and be arrogant now. When you go back, you will find that Yuanliu City was crushed by Lord Lot's iron cavalry. The humiliation suffered by the Lord of this city today will be repaid to you!"

Jin Da, who was doing resettlement work with the ship, overheard his curse, and couldn't help but sneer: "Old City Master, don't feel unbalanced, after all, soon, Mingzhu City will enjoy the baptism of gunfire just like you .”

"If that Young Master Lott survives and escapes back to Pearl City, maybe he can understand the state of mind you prophesied!"

The corners of Nanji City Lord's slack eyes twitched, thinking that his last hope was in jeopardy, his eyes darkened, his chest couldn't be lifted up, and he was so angry that he passed out.

If I had known earlier...it would be better to surrender earlier, maybe I could still keep the position of the city lord...Before losing consciousness, one last thought appeared in my mind, and then I fell into darkness completely.

The wizard in Mingzhu City was the last one to board the boat. Shen Qingze snatched his magic staff away, and his heart suffered an incomparable shock, even his back was bent a bit.

Shen Qingze stopped him: "Your Majesty Wizard, haven't I asked for your name yet?"

"Tag."

The old man cast a sleepy glance at him. Although he didn't like him, he couldn't bring up any trace of his superiority as an enshrined in the Pearl City. The only thing left was exhaustion and self-deprecating.

[Tag, wizard, proficient in divination and spells, good at alchemy, comprehension 430]

Shen Qingze glanced at the results of the investigation, and paused for a moment on his comprehension, instantly feeling unreal as if he had picked up a treasure.

He nodded slightly to the other party: "Master Tag, you have to act in a hurry, and you have offended me just now."

Tag did not show a good face because of his changed attitude, but said coldly: "If you lose, you lose. This old man is willing to gamble and admit defeat, and I will go back to Yuanliu City with you. But don't expect this old man to help you."

He looked a little awkward, turned his head to the side, and said quickly: "This old man never owes favors to anyone, even though you saved me just once, don't expect me to repay you!"

Shen Qingze was taken aback.

Tag seemed unwilling to talk to him, and he didn't even bother to ask for the staff, so he turned his head and left.

Shen Qingze was speechless for a while: "This old man... wants to save face."

[System: Alert!Your capital city is under attack!The city recall skill can be used, whether to use it? 】

Shen Qingze's main panel sounded the system's red warning prompt, and he looked up at the night sky to the west, where the stars twinkled and flickered among the flowing clouds.

"I don't know what's going on with Yan Zui..."

※※※

The thin cloud layer was cut into two sections by the blade-like moonlight, and slowly spread out from the middle. The pale moonlight cast a majestic shadow on Yuanliu City, lying quietly between the dark world.

The army from Mingzhu City arrived in the evening, accompanied by a thousand miscellaneous troops from Nanji City and Beiji City, their armors were uneven, and some soldiers even wore cloth armor.

There is a clear distinction between the regular army and the miscellaneous army. The contempt and sarcasm on the faces of the soldiers of Mingzhu City are undisguised. The soldiers of Nanji City and Beiji City are just waving flags and shouting to make up the number. They may be the first to escape when they go to the battlefield. It is of no use at all.

The Allied Forces of the Three Cities camped in place for dinner, and after resting for a while, their physical strength has recovered to a good degree.

Lott stood on a small hill, holding a binoculars in one hand, looking at the city wall of Yuanliu City from a distance.

This thing was snatched from a police post in Abyss City - when the other party was lying in ambush on the top of a tree to spy, he happened to be shot by an arrow, fell from the tree, and fell into Lott's hands.

The police post couldn't bear Lot's torture, and revealed a lot, but his knowledge was limited, and the more he said, the more mysterious it became, and the really valuable information was almost zero.

Although Lott said he was extremely contemptuous of Abyss City, since he was defeated by the orc army last time, he was much more cautious. This time, he had defeated the Abyss City of the orcs in this thousand-mile raid. Information, many preparations have been made.

I thought that I had paid enough attention to Yuanliu City, but I didn't expect that when he saw this expanded new city with his own eyes, the shock in his heart would not be the slightest bit.

The tall and solid outer city wall is not inferior to the Pearl City, and there are dense bastions on it, like the thorns protruding from the back of a giant beast. Just looking through a telescope, it feels very penetrating.

But this little accident was just an accident after all. Lott still had enough confidence in the iron cavalry armed to the teeth in Pearl City.

"Master Lott, are you going to attack the city at night?" The adjutant stood behind Lott, his iron-gray armor reflecting a cold luster in the moonlight.

Luo Te nodded: "In a poor earthen city like Yuanliu City, nine out of ten soldiers have night blindness. It is more beneficial for us to attack the city at night."

The adjutant was ordered to leave, and in less than a moment, the [-] troops in Mingzhu City were ready to go.

The long stretch of iron-gray battle armor slowly unfolded on the top of the mountain, with no end in sight at a glance. In the cold night, there was a chilling tranquility.

Lott rode on a black horse, drew out his long sword and pointed at the city wall of Yuanliu City: "Charge!"

The eight thousand iron cavalry from Mingzhu City rushed to the front, and the miscellaneous soldiers from South and North Jicheng hung slowly at the end to eat ashes.

This imposing three-city allied force quickly alarmed the guards on the walls of Yuanliu City.

After a short period of panic, the soldiers restored order under the command of the leader. On the top of the city, mobile archers took their positions between each battlement, as if they had been waiting for a long time, and they responded extremely quickly.

The dense rain of arrows is like a waterfall, enveloping the enemy!

Holding up the binoculars, Lott frowned when he saw this scene.

Countless shields shining with metallic luster were lifted high up. Under the moonlight, it was like a carpet made of gray iron was spread out, easily blocking the rain of arrows from Yuanliu City!

There was a continuous sound of tinkling and clanging. The steel arrow pierced the iron shield, making countless dense shallow marks, and was immediately bounced away. Such a long distance could not cause any damage at all. At most, the arms of the shield soldiers I was numb from the shock.

The Allied Forces of the Three Cities held up their iron shields, turned a blind eye to the arrow rain, and continued to swagger towards the walls of Yuanliu City!

※※※

On the top of the city, Xiao Meng pressed the hilt of his waist and stood under the flag, his back straight as a javelin.

He was beside him, Yan Zui was dressed in a black and gold military uniform, and his long jet black hair was tied behind his head, flying in the wind.

Facing the well-prepared coalition forces, he calmly ordered: "Replace the archers."

Yan Zui handed the binoculars to Xiao Meng, and took a god-armed crossbow made by goblin orcs from his own hands. Holding the crossbow with one hand and pressing the string with the other, he tilted his head and quietly aimed at the approaching enemy. Fang Dajun.

His hands were extremely steady, and under his full concentration, there was a solemn and persistent force, transmitted from his eyes, and following the galloping arrows and crossbows, he shot an indomitable posture!

The range of the divine arm crossbow is extremely long, and it even leaped over the shield formation in one breath, and shot straight at the miscellaneous soldiers behind!

The unprotected miscellaneous soldiers were suddenly strangled by crossbows and turned into gourd strings!

Amidst the screams and screams, the end of the army immediately caused a commotion.

On the walls of Yuanliu City, the morale of the soldiers is greatly boosted!

Lott snorted heavily. Seeing that the opponent had withdrawn the archer, he yelled at the messenger in a low voice: "What are you waiting for? Charge with all your strength!"

"Yes!"

Following Lot's order, the army withdrew their bulky shields and attacked at full speed!

The mighty iron cavalry galloped like thunder, and the whole earth trembled.The soldiers on the city wall swallowed their saliva nervously. Although the opponents were not beastmen, the prestigious reputation of Mingzhu City was not much better than that of beastmen.

From nowhere, there was an inconspicuous whining sound, which was drowned out by the galloping horseshoes.

In an instant, clusters of golden sparks exploded from the front row of the coalition forces, dazzlingly bright in the night!

With deafening roars, scalding airflow, splashing iron pieces, and berserk explosions, the enemies who will attack in the future will be blown up instantly!

The frightened horses ran around, no longer listening to people's commands, and the front row and the back were crowded into a pot of porridge. Many soldiers were even thrown off their horses and trampled to death.

On the top of the mountain, Lott was taken aback: "What is that? Quick! Tell them to withdraw!"

Luo Te's ashen face was bombarded by the explosions of landmines from time to time, making his complexion cloudy and uncertain. He gritted his teeth fiercely: "Order, let the mob in Nanji City and Beiji City go first! Anyone who dares to back off will be beheaded on the spot!"

"Yes!"

※※※

Nanji City, Chiyuan River.

The fleet filled with the upper-class nobles of Nanji City set sail again and embarked on the journey back to the city overnight.

"Master Officiant!"

Shen Qingze's silver sacrificial robe was particularly eye-catching under the moonlit night. After Jin Da had been busy, Dian Dian'er rushed back, seeing that the other party's eyes were blank, staring at the unknown dark place in a daze, he couldn't help calling out.

Shen Qingze came back to his senses, and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "I'll leave this to you, I'll take a step first."

Jin Da scratched his head, looking blankly at the dark water surface all around: "Where are you going, my lord?"

When he turned around, there was no one in front of him.

Jin Da's face was numb: "...the gods..."
