‘Boom~’ The wall of Pittsburgh Fortress finally could not withstand the bombardment of huge rocks, and a large hole was smashed by a heavy trebuchet. The soldiers attacking the city from outside the city immediately poured in like a tide, and the shouts of killing were loud.
On a high ground five miles outside the city, several well-dressed noble lords watched this scene quietly.
"There's no need to look any further, the overall situation has been decided." A tall, thin old man at the front spoke.
The fortress city of Pittsburgh fell, and behind it was a vast plain, all the way to Red Dragon Castle, the capital of the Helm Kingdom.
The tall and thin old man's name is Hansen, the younger brother of King Sithis, the Duke of Sithis, and the marshal of the Revenge Army.
After he finished speaking, he turned back to the big tent behind him, and everyone else stopped looking and followed him.
When he arrived at the camp, Hansen sat down at the top, clasped his hands on the table, looked around everyone, and said, "It's time to formally decide on the placement of the Queen of Helm."
"Didn't we discuss before that we should send her to the guillotine?" A young man said. He was the eldest son of the Duke of Ross, the younger Duke of Ross.
Duke Hansen shook his head: "Our agreement is that unless Queen Tolia resists to the end and refuses to surrender, we can forcefully break through the Red Dragon Castle and then execute the queen. So, what happens depends on Queen Tolia's attitude."
Another young man said: "What's so interesting? Even now, the woman still hasn't issued any surrender letter, which shows that she is ready to fight to the end!"
This guy is the successor Marquis of Olanto.
Duke Hansen nodded: "So far, I have indeed not received it. It seems that the queen is very proud, and she does not want failure to tarnish the glory of her family. We will move forward until we arrive at the Red Dragon Castle. If we have not received the letter of surrender, then
I can only let you take revenge as agreed."
"I also want to ask, what should we do with Russell?" asked the young Duke of Ross.
"Obviously, there is nothing we can do about it." Duke Hansen spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is news that ten days ago, he had left the Red Dragon Castle and returned to the Sky City. As a great magician, he retreated
It’s enough, I’m embarrassed, that’s enough.”
"What a painless punishment, you damn untouchable!" Little Duke Ross gritted his teeth.
Marquis Drok on the side suddenly said: "It's too easy for him to leave like this. At least we must humiliate him, peel off his face and throw it to the ground, so that those traffickers and lackeys can step on it. Let this
It will become a lifelong shame for him. This is the real price!"
"What do you want to do?" Everyone looked at him.
"I think Queen Tolia will surrender in all likelihood, because resistance is meaningless. She surrendered. As a former king, we should have given her courtesy. But we can make demands and ask Tolia to surrender.
Tolia will definitely not be able to reveal the real murderer. She harbored the murderer, so she will naturally be punished."
"How to punish?"
"She is Russell's wife, so strip her naked, tie her to a horse, and walk around the streets of Red Dragon Castle. Let the lowest people see her body!" Marquis Drok
The tiny eyes sparkled with an extremely shameless light.
Seeing that everyone was silent, he continued: "We all know that Russell is the real murderer. Since Tolia wants to protect her civilian husband, she has to pay the price. When parading on the street, if Russell, as her husband, still
If he can't avoid it, he will lose face and become the laughing stock of the entire continent."
This can indeed greatly humiliate Russell and the Lucio family, but doing this always makes people feel that it is a bit too much. If you don't do it right, big trouble may happen.
Young Duke Ross frowned and said: "I heard that Russell has a bad temper. If you do this, it will definitely anger him completely. He will definitely be desperate and it will not end well."
"What's the point?" The successor Marquis of Olanto was no longer silent and said with a smile: "If Russell can hold back when something happens, it means that he is a coward and has nothing to fear. If he rushes to Red Dragon Castle to rescue him,
That's right in our ambush! Isn't that right, Mr. Hansen?"
Hansen did not answer immediately. He tapped his fingers on the table and was deep in thought. After a long time, he said, "To be honest, this is indeed a good idea. If I take the opportunity to arrange for the Battle Mage Group to set up an ambush, I will indeed get rid of Russell directly.
Even if he is a great magician."
But the losses would be huge, which made him very hesitant.
"That's what it means." Marquis Drok laughed: "Mr. Hansen, you don't have to worry about the loss. You should know that if Russell is not eliminated, Sitis will never have peace."
Hansen nodded, and then said: "In this case, you go back first and let me think about it carefully."
The lords nodded and walked out of the camp, and the camp became quiet.
Hansen suddenly said to himself, "Sir Simon, do you think this is a good idea?"
After a while, a figure emerged from the shadows in the tent. The figure took a few steps forward and was revealed in the light. It turned out to be the great magician Pierre Simon.
"Sir Simon, you have observed Russell up close. Do you think this idea is feasible?" Hansen continued to ask.
With a sneer on his face, Simon shook his head and said: "It won't work. From Russell's past analysis, this person has a decisive character, but he is not a reckless man. If you kill Tolia directly, the situation will be better. If you deliberately
Humiliation...he might not come
Instead of saving Tolia on the spot, he would go directly to the fiefdom of these three idiots and kill all their family members, and then go to the capital of Sithis and carry out another killing. You have to know, a great magician
The sneak attack was very, very terrifying."
Hansen imagined the scene where a seventh-level destructive magic was secretly planted in the Palace of Sithis. He shuddered unconsciously and said thankfully: "Sir Simon, thank you for reminding me. I almost fainted."
"You're welcome."
"But... I do want to eliminate this big threat to Sithis."
"Haha, Your Majesty the Duke, you actually already have a plan and are already implementing it. Otherwise, we should have received the surrender letter by now, wouldn't we?" Simon smiled.
"Uh~~ Haha, Your Majesty the Great Magician has really sharp eyesight." Hansen said with a smile: "I really don't want Red Dragon Castle to surrender. I hope they will fight to the end. In this way, I can take the opportunity to eliminate the root cause!"
Therefore, he sent people to intercept all letters of surrender from the Red Dragon Castle and secretly destroyed them, creating the illusion that the Queen was prepared to resist until the last moment.
"A perfect poisonous plan." Simon commented.
He continued: "Of course, I also know that there is no right or wrong in political matters, only victory or defeat. It is not a bad thing to completely wipe out the Kingdom of the Holy Helm. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. This will also save wars in the future. Already."
"So, where is the great magician Russell?" Hansen asked tentatively.
"He is a proud man, and he should have some feelings for Queen Tolia. According to your plan, when you attack the Red Dragon Castle, Russell will never stand idly by and will definitely rush to the Red Dragon Castle to support. I will be here
Stop him on the road." Simon said.
"Thank you very much. However, as long as Russell is still alive and we kill his wife, this will eventually be an extremely terrible trouble." Hansen's face showed worry again.
"Ha~" Simon smiled lightly: "I understand what you mean very well. You want to eliminate all unstable factors. Queen Tolia is not enough. You also want me to help you kill Russell?"
"Haha, any lord would think the same as me about eradicating the grass and roots." Duke Hansen smiled awkwardly.
"Then select the ten most powerful magicians from your battle mage group and come with me to intercept Russell." Simon said quietly, his eyes extremely deep.
"Do you agree?" Hansen was very surprised.
A great magician unites with ten powerful magicians whose average level is above five stars. This power is enough to kill another great magician!
Simon nodded slowly: "The sooner this war ends, the smaller the losses will be. I just hope that the mainland will stabilize as soon as possible."
"Your Excellency, what the mainland needs is a sage like you who can take the overall situation into consideration!" Duke Hansen praised without hesitation.
Simon waved his hand and said calmly: "It is not a glorious thing to threaten someone's wife. I can't bear the name of a sage like this. You don't need to praise me, just make sure that there are no flaws in the plan."
"Don't worry, I will carefully arrange the details of the plan and make sure to lure the great magician Russell out of the Sky City." Hansen laughed. (To be continued...)
