No matter how troubled he was at this time, Hailuk, who understood the ways of aristocratic politics, did not dare to show any strong points or objections. Because this would not only affect his own life and death, but also affect the survival of the entire Senbo family.
destroy.
"What's the current situation of the Senbo family? It's not easy for you to be able to persist so far."
Without letting the middle-aged man at his feet stand up, Moriarty just asked in a condescending tone. As a superior, when should you be courteous to a corporal and when should you be dignified? You cannot make mistakes by mistake, otherwise you will make people laugh.
, disgraced.
"Because my family's territory is remote, it was not affected by the first wave of large-scale attacks by the demon army. Your Lordship also thought about taking his family to the Rhineburg for shelter, but later he heard that the castle had fallen and gave up the idea.
"Fortunately, our family has an ancestral castle in the Ardennes Forest. Although it is not big, the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since then, we have been sticking to it and persisting to this day." Lowering his head, the mid-level knight reported respectfully.
"It turns out to be the remaining shadow of our ancestors."
Moriarty nodded clearly. If it was really in the plains, and there was no majestic city like Rheinburg to rely on, then the Sember family would have been submerged into rubble by the demonic craze.
"What's the current situation?" Moriarty then asked.
"It's very bad." Hailuk raised his head and looked at the superior with hope: "After more than a year of hard fighting, although the demon's attacks have been repelled many times, the food and medicine have been almost exhausted. And the people left behind are almost gone.
All the soldiers are also injured, and their combat effectiveness has been severely reduced. It is already difficult to hold on any longer."
"The city cannot be defended! Unless there is foreign aid or there is an internal change within the enemy, any high city and fortress will collapse one day after a certain period of time." On the other side of Moriarty, White nodded.
"That's what the Lord said." Hailuk immediately nodded to the sixth-level warrior: "That's why the Lord made a desperate move and sent me to risk a breakout to find reinforcements. Fortunately, today I really met the Lord's suppression force, and finally
I saw a glimmer of light in my despair! Sir, please save the Senbo family!"
As he spoke, the mid-level knight leaned down and bowed in front of Moriarty. This was the most humble gesture a mortal could make.
"Approximately how many demon legions are surrounding your home? How strong are they?" Moriarty thought for a moment. He did not reply directly, but continued to ask.
"There are about two hundred little demons, led by a few mid-level horned demons." Hailuk replied hurriedly: "Because our territory is relatively barren and the population is not large, the demons have never paid much attention to us. They only pay regular attention to us.
The attacks continued."
"The Senbo family's 'martial name' in the past was just ordinary. There were only two mid-level warriors including Hailuk." At this time, Hadro added from the sidelines.
"Yeah." Moriarty nodded.
A private soldier of the Lord's family. With the cooperation of two middle-level human warriors and the protection of a dangerous castle in the mountains and forests, there is really hope to persevere. Of course, this is also a relationship that the devil does not take seriously as Hailuk said.
.Otherwise, just a high-level demon will be enough to defeat all of Senbo.
"What do you think?" Moriarty looked at White and Hadrow on the left and right respectively.
"A few horned devils plus two hundred little devils are nothing. But the wolf cavalry is not suitable for fighting in the mountains and forests. I want Guderian's Warhammer Squad to be the vanguard, and cooperate with the War Iron Fist Company and Bruno's point kills.
, we should be able to win completely." As if he was confident, White smiled directly, and the demon army that had besieged the Senbo family for a year seemed to him to be nothing more than fish on the anvil.
"Sir, although the Senbo family is not big and has limited strength, it is the main branch of the nobility of this county. Now, although I, Rheinburg, have a strong foundation and are determined to be unyielding, we still lack the embellishment and support of vassals.
So if Lord Senbo can be saved this time, it will be very beneficial to the post-war political situation and your prestige." The old steward stated the pros and cons to the Lord from another angle.
After hearing White and Hadrow's speeches, the middle-level knights below also had a look of surprise. Especially the sixth-level one-armed warrior's confident tone of understatement and treating two hundred demons as if they were selling out the first bid, which immediately shocked Hai.
Luke with great faith and hope.
"Knight Hylok." After a moment of silence, Moriarty finally said to the seeker.
"Yes, sir!" The middle-level knight suddenly froze.
"I can send troops to rescue Lord Senbo, but there are conditions."
"Sir, please speak."
Hailuk's voice trembled, but he didn't know what harsh conditions the other party would put forward. The most difficult thing was the claim for territory, which was an inseparable foundation for any noble of Erathia. But now the entire Senbo family
With my life hanging by a thread, I really have no room for bargaining. I can only hope for the mercy of the superiors.
"Haha, don't worry, I don't want your family's land." As if he could see the anxiety of the knight at his feet, Moriarty smiled softly.
"Don't dare." Hailuk immediately shook his head.
"My request is very simple. After the Senbo family is rescued: 1. During the anti-magic war, the private soldiers of the Senbo family, including you and another mid-level warrior, must be reorganized, deployed, and commanded by me; 2.
, after the war, Lord Senbo must regard me as the lord and become a vassal of my family; third, regarding the expenses of sending troops to rescue and entertaining the Senbo family afterwards, we can settle the expenses in a unified manner, and the Senbo family will repay them in installments after the war. Specific matters
Let Hadro handle it." After saying this, Moriarty paused deliberately, as if giving the other party time to think about it, and then said: "What do you think?"
"As for the second and third items, I think Lord Senbo should agree. But the first item..." The middle-level knight hesitated to speak.
"Now the whole of Erathia is fighting against the invasion of the demon army, and the Sembo family will take refuge in Rheinburg after being rescued. So is there anything wrong with us having full authority to command the war against the demons?" Immediately, White shouted, as if
Hesitant and dissatisfied with Hailuk.
"No, that's not what I meant." The mid-level knight immediately defended: "In a state of war, it is most reasonable for you to unifiedly command the anti-demon battle. My family will not have any objection to this. It's just that after the war, the original
Soldiers belonging to the Senbo family..."
"Don't worry about this. Once the anti-demon war is over, we will never make it difficult for the soldiers who want to return to the family. Of course, if anyone wants to stay, Lord Senbo will not make it difficult." Mori smiled slightly.
Artie said cheerfully.
"This is natural. If this is the case, I think your lord will definitely agree to your terms." As long as the soldiers are allowed to return to the family after the war, Hailuk doesn't have much to worry about. After all, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and Sen.
Most of Bo's private soldiers are from local peasant families, and most of them will go home once the war is over.
"Then, I will send reinforcements to rescue the Senbo family early tomorrow morning. The specific actions will be directed by White." Seeing that Hailuk had no doubts, Moriarty said decisively.
"Thank you, sir!" The mid-level knight immediately thanked him heavily.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" White also agreed loudly. He has been staying in Rheinburg all this time, and he is quite excited to get an opportunity to go out to fight this time.
"Hadro."
"Here, sir!" Upon hearing Moriarty's call, the old steward immediately bowed.
"You can also go with White tomorrow. Some words and some things are better left to you to tell Lord. In addition, I also want to tell Lord Semblance about the current situation in Kent County. I think we can communicate better in the future.
It’s more convenient.”
"Yes, I understand." Hadro nodded understandingly.
"Knight Hailuk, you have worked hard too. Hadro, take him down first to entertain him, take a bath, eat something, and then we have to take action tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, sir!"
Immediately, the old steward left with the mid-level knight.
"White, to be on the safe side, you will take Zhukov and Chekov with you tomorrow. With Naga in charge, you won't suffer a big loss even if you encounter a high-level demon." After the two left, Moriarty followed him again.
The person takes care of the way.
"Okay, in that case let Naga charge. Chekov has complained to me several times, saying that he couldn't get a job with the wolf cavalry when they went out to 'grain grain'." White said with a smile.
"Well, let's do it like this." Moriarty also smiled, then slowly took out a potion from his sleeve and handed it to the other party.
"This is?"
Taking the transparent test tube, I saw that there was mostly a pink clear liquid in it. Although it was transparent, it seemed to contain some indescribable bright spots. And between the tentacles, the test tube was actually warm, as if
The temperature of blood.
As if he suddenly understood something, White raised his head and stared at Moriarty.
"This is the alchemical potion 'Hydra's Fountain of Death' prepared with the Pearl of Hydra. It was finally completed with great difficulty." Moriarty smiled at White: "Because the blood and saliva of the Hydra monster contain
It is highly poisonous, and if you take its crystals directly, you will probably be poisoned to death, so you can only slowly reduce its toxicity through the alchemy array. But no matter how hard I try, the last bit of poison cannot be removed. Although it seems
It shouldn’t be too harmful, but it’s hard to say whether there will be any side effects.”
"If you drink this, you can grow your arms again!?"
Holding the potion in his palm like a baby, White said with a trembling voice. As for the residual toxicity, he no longer cared about it at all.
"According to the records left in the alchemy books, taking 'Hydra's Fountain of Immortality' can indeed regenerate a person's severed limbs, and can even give the drinker a strong life restoration power. Therefore, even if you don't consider the arm, this potion
It is also the perfect match for your 'Shield of Thorns'." Moriarty nodded. (To be continued...)
