readx; Outside the wooden fence of the regular army camp, more than two thousand mercenaries were making a noise.
"Give money! Give money! If you don't give money, you will rebel!"
"Where is the promised commission? You are blaspheming the God of Contract!"
They held up various weapons and shouted more and more uniformly. The momentum frightened the soldiers in the regular army camp and nervously grasped the weapons in their hands.
"How much money do we have left?" Effie asked the Duke nervously.
"We've used it up a long time ago." The Duke smiled bitterly. To assemble a large army that could confront the coalition forces of two duchies that had been plotting for a long time was simply not something that his dukedom's finances could bear.
If you ask other nobles for money, most of them will hesitate.
"What should we do?"
The prince was silent.
At this time, Lexus suddenly stepped forward: "Princess, let me help you solve your first problem first."
[Styling line]
Lexus suddenly flicked his hand and threw out a bunch of barbed strings like lightning, crossing a distance of thirty meters and stabbing into the arm of the leading gold-level mercenary.
Lexus flicked his dexterous fingers, and the barbed wire quickly circled the mercenary several times, each barb piercing deeper and deeper. With a wave of his hand, the unlucky guy fell to the ground like a dog eating shit, and then
He was dragged into the military camp gate several times.
"Ahhhhhh--" A scream shocked everyone.
Just when all the mercenaries woke up to what had happened and were about to start a fight, a large number of mechanical monsters suddenly rushed in from the outside, each of which carried a huge box on its back.
Lexus casually pulled out a soldier's dagger and struck it on the box.
With a bang, countless gold coins poured out.
For a moment, the whole place was silent.
"You are all mercenaries who signed a contract under the witness of the God of Contract, right? Well, you can choose to break the contract and stand up for this guy." Lexus stepped on the guy's face, and the guy suddenly screamed
Screaming: "Or take the money and prepare to work hard for the Principality of Corianpas. You choose!"
Many mercenaries showed hesitation on their faces.
Suddenly, nearly a hundred mercenaries stepped forward, waving their weapons and making a noise.
"Still want to abide by the contract? Let our leader go first!"
"We have to pay for the soup and medicine!"
"Yes! Give me 100,000 gold coins first! Otherwise we will rebel!"
"Yes! It's the other way around!"
The faces of Princess Effiin and Duke Zenden became even more ugly.
Who knows, that Lexus suddenly snapped his fingers.
One-fifth of a second later, countless [Lightning Beams] were shot out from the mechanical horror monster. The brilliance of lightning dazzled everyone's eyes. When everything in the field of vision was restored, there were more than a hundred charred corpses in front of the military camp.
.
"Ah, it turns out that the guy who even sold his soul to the devil will still smell good after being roasted!" Lexus said jokingly to himself.
However, no one dared to intervene.
Clapping his hands, Lexus said loudly: "Okay, let's choose! Either break the contract, or take the money and prepare to fight."
For some reason, this extremely arrogant warlock gave people a sense of peace of mind and trust, even though he had just so simply and crudely suppressed a possible riot using carrots and sticks.
The first mercenary stepped forward, showed the contract to the soldier, took his share of the money, and left silently.
The second one.
The tenth...
Soon, all the mercenary groups sent representatives to get their due share, and then left silently, preparing to fight.
The princess and the duke breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and thought to themselves: Where did the rich man come from?
An insignificant maid who had been following Lexus came up to him and asked him secretly: "Where did you get so much money? Is there at least a few million gold coins here?"
"Just earned it."
It was a good thing that the maid didn't come forward. As soon as she came forward, Effiin suddenly felt that the maid looked familiar.
A flash of lightning broke into Effiin's brain, and Effiin knew who she was. The little girl dressed as a maid in front of her was clearly her most respected phantom goddess Laila.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
Why does the extremely noble goddess dress like a maid?
Could it be that this Lexus is a powerful god?
But you always feel like he's a little familiar?
Another bolt of psychic lightning struck, and Effiin knew who he was. Although he was completely unrecognizable after putting on makeup, a person's temperament is the most difficult to disguise.
He is actually the Raven who has been in the limelight recently!
Efein only felt that her world view was collapsing.
Her body was shaking.
At the moment I can't tell what's wrong with this.
The identity is completely inappropriate.
Yes, it’s identity!
No matter how miserable Laila is, even if Laila loses the Kingdom of God, she is still a deity. A deity who is at the top of tens of millions of humans on the continent of Ultron.
Effie can accept a god being defeated by another god and fall, he can accept a god being killed by a powerful alien creature, and he can even accept a god being besieged to death by a group of legendary strong men.
But Effiin just couldn't accept that the goddess Leila, whom she respected most, went to be the maid of a mortal boy.
She almost wanted to order the soldiers to take this blasphemous bastard and hang him at all costs.
However, when he saw the hundreds of flexible mechanical horror monsters, she calmed down again.
She spoke, her voice still retaining the majesty and elegance of a princess: "Sir Lexus, please come into my tent with your servants. I have something to ask you."
Raven and the Loli maid looked at each other and followed.
Enter the tent. Dismiss the guards.
Effiin immediately knelt down on one knee to Laila, but stared at Raven.
"My lord, I don't understand, why do you dress up like this?"
"Uh, this..."
Laila was embarrassed, she really couldn't say it out: I put on the maid uniform to save you.
"Laila accidentally fell into a play-god spell from the goddess of cats and dancing, so she had to wear a maid outfit." As soon as Raven opened his mouth, he placed the shit basin on the head of a goddess he had never met before.
Well, anyway, there is a magical spell of mist, and Xia Ruisi can't hear it.
Laila rolled her eyes at Raven and sent a mental message: Why do I think you have the potential to replace Cyric as the God of Lies?
Raven replied: Thank you very much. So would you rather tell the truth? Or would you rather I cover your lies?
Laila was speechless.
After listening to Raven's explanation, Effiin didn't quite believe it. Did Charis meet Laila who was hiding by chance? But her emotions were willing to believe that this was a fact.
She decided not to pursue it further.
"Thank you, my lord, and Lord Raven for your support. The most urgent problem has been solved. However, our army is still at a disadvantage. I wonder if my lord can give me magic..."
"This..." Laila faltered. In fact, she jumped on the street very thoroughly. After being reduced to the form of a saint, Laila lost the ability to grant magical powers to the priests under her command. Divine power is not just available. It requires a lot of
Believers pray day and night, and it takes a long time to obtain such a standard unit of divine power.
Even though she had just obtained a fragment of divine power, it was to increase the upper limit of her divine power, not to increase her divine power. Her only recent divine power income was from Tyr. But she turned around and gave Raven another strengthening blessing, which she spent.
Quite a few.
Now we can't even create a heavy fog.
Raven suddenly interrupted: "Ms. Mist has already arranged the magical spells early. If you initiate a decisive battle, you will see Ms. Mist's army."
"Really!?" Effie was surprised and looked at Laila.
Laila secretly rolled her eyes at Raven and nodded bravely.
Effie happily went to arrange the decisive battle, but Laila almost went crazy: "Where did I get my army?"
"I said yes. You don't believe me?"
Laila bared her fangs: "You'd better not disappoint me and Effiin. Otherwise, I will settle the debt with you for forcing me to be a maid. Be careful, I will bite you to death!"
Here, Effiin and Duke Zenden were originally prepared to risk their lives to attack the other's camp. After all, they were the weaker side, and to attack the other's camp would be a desperate act.
Even though we know this, there is nothing we can do about it.
Now when they heard that Laila had strong reinforcements, Cenden and other lords were immediately overjoyed.
I want to ask in detail. Effiin refused to say anything, only said it was a secret. In fact, Effiin himself didn’t know.
In this way, in the strange atmosphere, Effiin almost forced Zenden to pass the proposal for a decisive battle.
"Well, Your Royal Highness, as a loyal subject of the Principality of Corianpas, I have to remind you in the end. Once we fail, the Principality is almost destined to be destroyed. Your Highness, are you sure that even so, a decisive battle will be launched."
Effiin had no way out, biting her lower lip. She slapped the table hard: "Yes!"
So, the decisive battle was decided.
An envoy was sent to make an appointment with the two great dukes.
The opponent seemed to be willing to deal with this King Qin army in a field battle, and readily agreed.
The next day, both sides deployed their armies on the Chega Plain, fifty kilometers north of the royal city.
The flags of King Qin's army are in disarray. If it weren't for the King of Corian Pais flag, no one would believe it if you said it was a peasant uprising army. The miscellaneous troops, equipment and morale are extremely low. You can even see peasant soldiers wearing linen clothes.
Take a pitchfork to the battlefield.
It's just that there are a few silver-level masters in Duke Zenden's formation to control the situation.
On the opposite side, the armor is bright, the two colors of the army are clearly distinguishable, and the military appearance is neat. In the formation, there are more than thirty monks in a row wearing uniform robes. At a glance, it is clear that they belong to the same magic group.
What made Effiin even more desperate was that she saw a large number of steel golems in front of the opponent's formation.
The manufacturing method of this constructed creature that stands twice as tall as an ordinary person has been lost for many years. In theory, there are only a handful of steel golems wandering in some remote corners of the world, foolishly executing a long-dead empire.
command.
Why can we see a total of twenty brand-new steel golems standing in front of the rebels' formation today?
The black steel golem, shaped like a dark guard, holds a two-meter-long giant broad-bladed sword in each arm. When it forms a formation, its heavy footsteps can easily make the earth tremble like a scream.
Just by imagining, you can already imagine how overwhelming it would be to face the miscellaneous soldiers of King Qin's army after the war.
You know, the challenge level of any standard steel golem is as high as level 52. It is rated as silver level. But on this kind of battlefield, their performance is definitely gold level.
Because there are no sophisticated silver-level weapons above +2, it is impossible to even break through the defense.
The battle hasn't started yet, but the morale of King Qin's army is already low, and deserters continue to appear in the rear.
"What's going on? How could there be such a thing on the other side? I haven't received any relevant information at all." Effiin exclaimed, and behind her were the nobles who were looking at each other.
Raven suddenly said: "Oh, I sold it to them."
"What?" No one, whether it's Effiin, Laila or Zenden, dared to believe their ears.
Raven, dressed as a warlock, shrugged and asked: "Otherwise, where do you think so much money comes from?" (To be continued.)
