Chapter 202 The sunset of the Frank Principality
Wang was about to say that the problem was solved now, when Elzam said: "But when I cast a spell to wake up the undead, I need gestures. Just a skull won't do it. Tomorrow's limited wish spell also requires you to assemble it."
.”
Wang looked at the broken bones and debris on the ground and couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Even if it is broken into pieces, a lot of bone residue is still mixed with other things, and some are stuck to the ground by things like plasma. It is not easy to recover from this.
The skull on Wang's hand began to open and close its mouth to make clicking sounds, using this method to make his own unique laughter: "Have you ever played a jigsaw puzzle? Let's do a three-dimensional puzzle this time!"
Wang: "How do I remember that the last time I killed you, your body assembled itself?"
"Ah, that's a perfect body. This body can't do it. Lich is like this. If you kill it many times in a short period of time, it will become weak. If I hadn't become weak, I wouldn't have been killed by a newly promoted person.
A young man with so little time in Jiuhuan will be defeated!"
Elzam said swornly.
Xiaobai, who had turned into a griffin and was about to carry Nini to carry out the mission assigned by the king, changed back and complained: "I smell lies! You are really weak because you can't fight, right?"
Skull: "You should worry about how to put me together, otherwise you won't be able to pull the undead against the Catalan army, and you won't be able to resurrect your dwarf teammates."
Wang: "No need to fight, like this."
After that, he put the skull head on his head, and took the skeleton's arms with both hands: "This way you can cast spells! Let me be your body! Don't worry, I will definitely be able to coordinate with your movements!"
The skeleton was silent for a second and exclaimed: "Is this the fantastic idea taught by the Tower of Planeswalkers? I can tell you, I have never cast a spell in this situation, and it is none of my business if the spell fails!
"
When the skeleton was talking, because its mouth opened and closed, it fell directly from the king's head, fell to the ground and rolled under the cabinet next to it.
"Hello? There are so many of you who are agile and talented, including elves and drows. Can't you just pick them up halfway?"
Nini: "No, picking up a talking skull monster is disgusting."
The skull under the cabinet was silent for a second before shouting: "No matter, dig me out quickly! Isn't the situation very urgent now?"
Wang: "Marika, I'm sorry to bother you. Nini, you and Xiaobai go to the rescue quickly."
Xiaobai pouted, raised his hands to hold the back of his head, and looked like he was passive and passive at work: "Eh? What happens next here seems to be very interesting."
King: "Your meat is stored underground in the floating city."
"Ah? What a fool!" Xiaobai turned into a griffin, then tapped the ground with his paws and screamed twice at Nini.
As soon as Nini mounted Xiaobai, the griffin rushed out of the airship pod.
Marika also took out the skull at this time. She said to Wang: "I think we can take a helmet strap and pass it through the ear hole of the skull, and then you can wear it as a hat."
Elzam: "Wait a minute! Where is my dignity! I am also a nine-ring lich after all!"
Wang: "You are right, act quickly."
After a while, the "skull cap" was ready. The king put it on and held a section of the lich's arm in one hand.
Elizabeth looked at this look and burst into laughter: "Hehehehe..."
Wang: "Don't laugh! You were hit by the withering spell and I have to wear this equipment to restore your body."
Elzam: "I originally thought that after the salvation crisis entered the third stage, I would be at least a member of the rescue team, but I didn't expect that it would become a piece of equipment or a suit."
Wang: "We haven't reached the third stage yet. You can be a piece of equipment and experience what it's like to join a rescue team."
Elizabeth: "It's better to do this. We can't let people see our rescue team resurrecting the undead. It won't be good to spread the news. You can get a robe to disguise it, and you can claim to the outside world that it was a terrifying lich who is 1.8 meters tall and has hands and knees."
Wang: "I think it's okay."
Elzam: "I don't think so. I resurrected the undead to fight against the Catalan invasion. If you act like this, Catalan might become a hero of justice. I will take all the blame."
"Don't you remember too much?" Wang asked back.
The lich was directly fucked into silence.
King: "Quickly tell me where to cast the spell."
While he was asking questions, Elizabeth, who was full of energy, began to take off the robe of the master of the order. Marika hurriedly stepped forward: "Wait, let me do it. After all, I don't know if this beast is wearing anything underneath. It's not suitable for a princess to see something."
thing."
"Oh, that's up to you."
Elizabeth took a step back and turned away.
Later it turned out that Marika's worries were unnecessary. The master was a decent man and was well dressed underneath.
After the robe was covered on the king, he looked like a skeleton with hands like a gibbon.
Elizabeth: "Well, very evil."
Wang: "Let's try to perform a trick first, let's do a light spell."
**
While Wang and the others were preparing, the Imperial Legion on the ground was launching an attack on the dock area and the Grand Duke's Palace of the Frank Principality.
Generally speaking, the nobles of the country live in castles, but this is not the case in Qianshui City.
The main shallow water city is on the edge of a shallow swamp. There is no hard ground on which to build a solid stone fortress. Therefore, although the Grand Duke's Mansion has defenses, they are reinforced with wooden walls and a little stone. In other words, the walls of the Grand Duke's Mansion are made of lime.
It's built of bricks, but the roof is still wood.
As soon as the Catalan Legion came up, they fired a row of rockets on the roof of the Grand Duke's Palace. If the wood for the roof of the Grand Duke's Palace had not been bought from upstream, the yew wood was not easily ignited, and the Grand Duke's Palace would have been turned into an oven.
.
The legionnaires lobbed fire into the wooden wall and slammed the wooden door of the Grand Duke's palace with a battering ram.
Archduke Frank looked out worriedly on the second floor of the Duke's Palace: "Sir, Lancelot, what are you going to do in Catalonia?"
The intelligence chief said quietly: "Obviously they want this country. Yi Songzuo and the others were relatively gentle in their actions before, but they stopped acting this time. They must have seen through that the countries in the river region are soft persimmons, and they can be manipulated at will."
Archduke Frank: "Then if we surrender now, is it possible to become Catalan's agent here?"
The intelligence chief shook his head: "With the precedent of Yi Songzuo, I'm afraid it's impossible."
After Yi Songzo was annexed by Catalonia, the original ruler became Catalan's agent. He played a shady game and took advantage of the contradiction between the Catalan royal family and the national teacher to play both sides.
.
With the precedent of Yi Sonzo, Catalan would probably directly send a governor to the Principality of Frank.
At this time, the Chief Financial Officer said: "There is no chance at all. Even if the governor comes, we still have to rely on the local people to manage the affairs below. Jisi rule."
The Grand Duke turned to look at the Financial Controller and said angrily: "You bastard, you have already started to figure out how to get along with Catalan after my downfall, right?"
"No, no!" The Financial Controller waved his hands repeatedly, "But... a man who knows the current affairs is a wise man, and His Excellency the Grand Duke should have made plans in advance."
The Grand Duke scolded: "Look at the military commander! Look at you again!"
Financial Controller: "I didn't have an affair with my wife. It's not my fault."
"What?"
The Grand Duchess immediately lowered her face: "This is slander! Come on, arrest him! At this time, he is deceiving the public with his monstrous words, and with the remarks just made, I'm afraid he is already a workman from Catalonia!"
The Financial Controller smiled and said, "That's me."
The door suddenly opened, and soldiers wearing Catalan armor poured into the room.
The Financial Controller drank a bottle of invisibility potion and disappeared.
Among the Catalan soldiers who came in, the one with a dog's head on his helmet shouted: "The bearded one is Archduke Frank! Whoever beheads will be rewarded heavily!"
The Grand Duke drew his sword: "Guards!"
Eight guards drew their swords and stood in front of him.
In the Principality of Frank, soldiers will never lack opportunities for actual combat. After all, this place is full of murders and intrigues. Many of the Grand Duke's guards are veterans who have been licking their blood for a long time. They want to retire and live a stable life before being recruited by the military chief.
The centurion from Catalonia shouted: "We will not kill everyone. After all, this will also be the territory of the empire in the future, and it will also be the front line of the confrontation between the empire and Monrovia. You will have plenty of opportunities to serve the empire when the time comes. There is no need to waste yourselves on dying nobles."
life!"
The effect of this was extraordinary. Just now, the eight guards felt that they were going to die and were ready to fight. Now that the centurion said this, at least half of them were obviously hesitant.
Then someone put away their swords and stepped aside.
Grand Duke: "Think clearly! It is impossible for Catalonia to reuse someone who has betrayed the master!"
However, these words could not change the decision of those people, and the Grand Duke's guard was simply reduced by half.
Grand Duke: "You betrayed me today, and you will pay the price in the future!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the intelligence chief's knife was accurately inserted into his body through the gap in the armor - this technique was a skill that the intelligence chief was also very skilled at.
Intelligence Director: "I think the Finance Minister was right just now. Can Catalan wipe out all the local middle-level people? In a place like Qianshui City, the cost of re-establishing control over the lower-level people is too high."
The Grand Duke stared at the steward with his eyes widened.
Intelligence Chief: "Don't bother, my knife is poisonous, and you will be dead when I get stabbed. I know you... your swordsmanship is very good, so I won't give you a chance."
Then the intelligence chief's body suddenly trembled, and he turned his head and cast a shocked look at the Grand Duchess.
The Grand Duchess put away her crossbow: "The Catalan rule is none of your business."
After speaking, she stepped forward, pushed the stiff intelligence chief away from her husband, and supported her husband who could no longer speak.
"What the Financial Controller told was a lie," said the Grand Duchess. "The Military Controller fought only because he longed to be a pure soldier."
As she spoke, the Grand Duchess gently closed her husband's eyes and faced the Catalan soldiers with her head held high.
She said to the four remaining loyal guards: "Stop resisting too! Think of your families."
The guards looked at each other, and finally put down their swords and stepped aside.
The Grand Duchess raised her head high and proudly faced the Catalan legions: "They all said that we are not nobles at all. Today we can at least die in the same way as nobles! Come on! Catalan bastards!"
At the last moment, the Principality of Frank finally had a female Grand Duchess who could be called a noble.
