The Earth Supplier of the Wizarding World

Chapter 281 Counterinsurgency

Ligeia had been hiding the identity of Prince Elledo from Yan Xing, and Yan Xing also pretended not to know.

After a few casual greetings, Yan Xing took the elves and the principal spies out of the city.

With the cooperation of the guild mercenaries deployed at the north city gate and outside the city, the group's process of leaving the city was very smooth.

After confirming safety, the spy leader took the remaining spies to escort the elves north.

Yan Xing took Ligeia back to the city.

Thank you... Ligeia thanked Yan Xing sincerely after completing the task.

Yan Xing replied: You're welcome... I use money to do things. When the things are done, I will take over the account at some time.

Although Yan Xing asked for a high price for this task, Ligeia knew that the price paid by Rose Garden was too insignificant compared to the interests of the principality and what was paid for it.

Please rest assured that I will have the money ready soon. Thank you again. I think you will soon know who is rescued and the impact of this rescue on the situation in the Windy Highlands.

One more story will be added to your legend.

Yan Xing smiled...

Sir, of course I know what extraordinary things I have done.

Isn't he just a shabby elf prince?

Hahaha, if you really want to thank me...let me see your true face. My intuition tells me that you must be a very beautiful woman.

Yan Xing's words made Ligeia lower her head immediately.

This kind of teasing made her a little overwhelmed.

I'm sorry, Lord Tran. I admire you very much. Your strength and command are worthy of your status as a legendary thief.

I shouldn't have refused your request, but I have an important mission that prevents my identity from being disclosed.

Please understand...

It's okay...just pretend I didn't say anything. Yan Xing said magnanimously.

After busy work, acting with a beautiful woman is also a good way to relax.

Ligeia saluted Yan: Your Excellency Teran, I am going to report to my superior that the elves have been successfully escorted out of the city.

I will notify you as soon as your gold coins are ready.

As soon as possible... Yan Xing, standing on the roof, looked at the dark city and said pointedly: The wind is going to blow. After the storm, it will be sunny...

Yan Xing and Ligeia parted ways.

Return to the embassy after confirming that you are not being followed.

After nightfall, weapons from the Eternal Territory are still being transported to New Tower City in a steady stream.

The number of artillery pieces was increased to 200.

Other weapons and ammunition are also enough to consume the guild mercenaries for three days of fierce fighting.

Yan Xing is preparing for the worst.

If Storm City really changes hands and is occupied by the orcs, its own army will have to shoulder the responsibility of defending New Tower City.

It must have been an extremely tough battle.

Fortunately, when winter comes, the orcs will be unable to attack and can only defend for a month.

But in the future, facing the long-term blockade by the orcs, his life will definitely be difficult.

Yan Xing prepared for the possible tough war in the future.

Ligeia reported to Madame Carol what had happened that evening in the Rose Garden.

Two hundred thousand gold coins is a lot of money.

You can buy 200,000 sets of high-quality quilts from Yan Xing.

It can allow the Stormy Highland Legion to spend a winter comfortably.

The safety of Prince Elledo is the most important thing. You have completed this task very well. Mrs. Carol has no intention of defaulting on her debt. Being able to have a good relationship with such a powerful thief will only benefit the principality and not harm it. After Carol praised Ligeia, she said: Tell me about Tran. From the time you met him, I have been very interested in this legendary thief.

So Ligeia briefly described the process of getting to know Teran to Carol.

The assassination of Yan Xing...

The robbery of the orc treasury...

And the process of rescuing Prince Elledo this time.

Madame Carol listened very intently, interrupting Ligeia from time to time to ask for more details.

He thought in his heart that if he could be used for himself, he would definitely be able to enhance his strength.

One night...

It is estimated that few people in the entire New Tower City can sleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, Count Theodore began to deal with the rebellion.

He first issued a city-wide magic announcement, asking everyone in the city who was still loyal to the Theodore family to immediately launch a counterattack against the rebels.

Then he led the farmers who had been mobilized overnight to attack a nearby military camp.

After gathering the soldiers in the barracks, continue to attack the next place.

Yan Xing mobilized 70 artillery pieces and 700 guild mercenaries to follow the old count's army.

When the count's army encounters a building that is difficult to conquer, it will send people to notify the artillery team behind it.

The artillery team that receives the support information will contact Fubuki. If Fubuki gives accurate information about the target, the artillery group with adjusted angles can smash the rebel strongholds.

With the assistance of artillery, a siege weapon that can follow the movement speed of infantry, the count's army cleared the rebels very smoothly.

One stronghold after another was breached, and the count's army expanded rapidly.

In the afternoon, the defenders of Newta City began a full-scale attack on the rebels.

Those mercenaries who participated in the riots for money surrendered one after another when they saw that their side was defeated.

In the end, the backbone of the Far Lion mercenary group fled into the temple.

The leader of the Jufeng mercenary group was assassinated, and the remaining members fled without a trace.

Those who are still causing trouble are bandits taking advantage of the chaos to plunder, let alone causing a big disturbance.

By evening, Count Theodore had essentially regained control of the city.

On the one hand, he sent people to put out the fires in the city and rescued the injured civilians and those who had lost their houses.

On one side, they sent troops to surround the temple and asked the high priest to hand over the members of the Far Lion mercenary group.

At the same time, a group of griffins left New Tower City and flew towards Storm City.

In the past two days, the connection between the two cities was interrupted.

Earl Theodore urgently needs to know if anything important has happened in Storm City.

He also invited Yan Xing, who had made a significant contribution to the suppression of the rebellion, to come to the city lord's mansion to have dinner with him.

In the huge restaurant, only the old count and Yan Xing were sitting at the dining table.

There are only four servants.

The battle in which the city lord's palace was besieged caused heavy casualties to the servants and guards. During the next battle, the earl's followers rushed to the front.

This certainly accelerated the rebels' defeat, but also brought great losses to the city lord's palace...

It’s not just the city lord’s palace.

The entire city of New Towers was severely damaged in the two days of riots.

The city defense army, which was already under-strength, was now cut in half, leaving less than half of the soldiers that could fight.

Moreover, this small half of the city defense force not only had to maintain order in the city, but also guard the prisoners, and finally, guard the temple.

If there is any bad news from Storm City.

How can New Tower City in this state resist foreign enemies?

Count Theodore and Yan Xing were both cutting the steaks on the plate silently, and the metal knife collided with the porcelain plate, making a very pleasant sound.

But the atmosphere inside the restaurant was very solemn.

Butler Atlee carried a plastic bucket and poured red wine into their glasses.

Count Theodore picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, breaking the silence of the restaurant: I hope nothing happens to Sibel. If I die, she will inherit my title and lead the Theodore family.

The butler hurriedly said: My lady is under the protection of Marquis Anderson. She will be fine. Master, you will be fine too. If Master feels that the matters in New Tower City are bothering you, you can ask Mr. Yanxing to help you share more affairs.

After experiencing this rebellion, it is enough to prove that Master Yanxing and you, the master, are of the same mind.

Count Theodore waved his hand and said: I know my body. If it weren't for Sibel and my family, I might not be able to hold on now.

But at my age, I have nothing to regret even if I die.

The only thing I'm worried about is Sibel.

She is young and impulsive and has such strong strength. I'm afraid that without me taking care of her, she will be taken advantage of.

The housekeeper followed the old earl's words and said: Then find a young man of the right age, with brains and strength as soon as possible to be the young lady's husband.

With the two of them sharing your worries, the master can enjoy himself to his fullest.

Alas... Count Theodore sighed: Such an outstanding young man is not easy to find.

You also know Sibel’s character.

Yan Xing gnawed on the meat and listened to the conversation between the old count and the housekeeper.

I thought to myself: Where are you two old foxes singing oboe with me?

Do you think I'm a diamond prince? Are you asking me to marry into your family?

What a joke!

With Sibel's character and strength, being a good brother is definitely a friendship that can cut both ways.

Be a wife.

Will I be able to support myself at home in the future?

I will never accept the good calculation you two made.

Yan Xing changed the topic and said: Teacher... now you have surrounded the temple. If High Priest Lancelot doesn't hand over the members of the Fal Lion Mercenary Group, what should we do?

Seeing Yan Xing talking about the temple, Count Theodore could not continue to guide him on the topic. He thought for a moment and said: The military in the temple is very strong. We must preserve our strength and try to avoid conflicts with the temple. direct conflict.

How to resolve this matter still needs to wait for news from Storm City.

If the orcs capture Storm City, the temple will definitely protect the Farl Lion mercenaries.

If Storm City is in the hands of a marquis or duchy, High Priest Lancelot knows how to resolve the dispute.

Without catching the elf emissary, the Fal lion mercenaries were of no use to the temple.

The reason why Donald is protecting the mercenaries now is actually to express his stance on the various forces that are leaning towards the temple. Just serve the temple, and the temple will protect them.

Of course, the temple will not be an unconditional guarantor.

If the Principality of Silvermane still has considerable power in the Windy Highlands, the temple will take the initiative to reconcile with Count Theodore and continue to drive nails here.

At that time, High Priest Lancelot will take the initiative to send the heads of the Fal lion mercenaries.

Therefore, Count Theodore invited Yan Xing to dinner this time just to wait for the news from Storm City together.

Countermeasures can be formulated as soon as possible based on the changes in Storm City.

Yan Xing analyzed the situation in New Tower City in his mind and said to Count Theodore: I want to go into the temple and talk to High Priest Lancelot.

Count Theodore did not expect Yan Xing to make such a request. He asked, What do you want to talk to him about?

Let him hand over the members of the Fal Lion mercenary group. Yan Xing said: Whether the temple protects the Fal Lion mercenaries or kills them all in the end, the result is that the temple becomes the cause of this rebellion. winner.

They can do whatever they want in New Tower City, and there is nothing we can do about them.

The rebels were hiding in the temple, protecting them if they wanted, and killing them if they wanted.

Although you seem to have put down the rebellion, your prestige has suffered a huge blow.

The temple will do the same thing in the future.

We may not be so lucky next time.

Count Theodore understood what Yan Xing meant. Only by forcing the temple to hand over the people now could he attack the temple's arrogance.

“But the temple’s excuse for accepting the Far Lion mercenaries is God’s protection for his followers.

Behind the temple is an empire with its own army. If we launch an attack on the temple, it will inevitably lead to direct intervention from the empire and the temple.

Neither you nor I can afford to do this.

Yan Xing smiled and said: Teacher, you can't bear the consequences. But I can...

Withdraw your troops surrounding the temple and replace them with my men.

I will go and talk to High Priest Lancelot about reparations now.

Yan Xing's suggestion caused Count Theodore to think for a while. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally agreed: Okay... you can try it, but I hope you know the bottom line.

Now that the situation in Storm City is unknown, New Tower City cannot suffer any more major turmoil.

I know what to do. Yan Xing picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, stood up and saluted the old count: I will go see the high priest now and try to get the matter done before dawn.

After saying that, Yan Xing left quickly.

Count Theodore and the old butler were left looking at each other.

Master, didn't we agree to discuss the marriage between Master Yanxing and Miss Yanxing?

Only then did Count Theodore come back to his senses: That's bad. This little fox must have seen something, so he found an excuse to run away.

Then what should we do?

The old count drank the red wine in the glass and said: Forget it, let's talk about it next time when we have the opportunity. The most important thing now is to solve the temple's affairs. I hope this boy can bring me another surprise.

At this time, a guard hurried in from outside.

Reporting to your lord, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net News came from Storm City. Marquis Anderson arrested Earl Feo who had just arrived in Storm City on the charge of colluding with the orcs, and executed Earl Feo at noon today.

Count Feo's body and charges have now been brought to the capital.

Hearing the news, Count Theodore was first surprised and then happy. He asked again: Are Sibel and the Marquis together?

The guard replied: Miss Siebel is still fighting against the orcs at Fort Angelk.

The smile on the old earl's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked urgently: What is the situation at Fort Angelick now?

Back to my lord... Marquis Anderson only said that Fort Angelique is still resisting the orc attack.

You mean... you met the Marquis, and he is still in Storm City.

Back to your lord... yes, your lord, the Marquis, is still in Storm City reorganizing the army and hunting down the traitors who colluded with the orcs.

After I arrived in Storm City, the Marquis met me in person. The Marquis asked me to tell you, please don't worry about Miss Hibel, she is safe.

The old count was stunned.
