After several days of active preparation for war, there was no movement from the Human Empire, but my subordinates brought good news.
"Lord Keen," the soldier who came to report looked excited, "General Dolma, General Alvin, General Moses, General Michael, and General Leo have returned with tens of thousands of troops and are currently waiting outside the fortress!"
"They're back?!" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly dropped the work in his hands, handed it over to the kobold craftsmen to continue building equipment, and left the factory happily, "But I'm so anxious to wait! Wait! You said tens of thousands of people? No, right?
?When those guys went out, didn't they just bring three or four thousand city guards with them?"
"Uh~ I don't know!" The soldier shook his head blankly.
"Let them enter the city quickly!" Jia Zhengjin said excitedly, "No matter what, our troops are finally back! By the way, counting the time, Karl's transport team should be returning soon, right?"
"Then I'll notify General Varian immediately!" The soldier immediately turned around.
"Wait!" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment and hurriedly chased after them, "I will greet them personally!"
But outside the fortress gate, five generals, Dolma, Alvin, Michael, Moses, and Leo, lined up.
Behind them, in addition to nearly 4,000 city guards, there were more than 6,000 soldiers of unknown origin, all wearing leather armor.
Varien was condescending, standing on the wall of the fortress and looking at the army. Although he had learned from others that they were actually troops sent by Holy Dragon City, he would never do it before receiving Lord Keen's order.
Open the door easily.
However, Varian was a little envious of the second-level Warcraft mounts under Dolma and Alvin's crotches. It was full of temptation for him to use such a powerful creature as a mount.
Varian was looking at the five generals below the city, and the people below were also looking at him.
"I didn't expect that Lord Keen would build such a majestic fortress in such a short period of time, and also add so many generals and troops! The strength of our Holy Dragon City has increased again!" Zhuoma was quite proud.
"But this time things are a little serious," Alvin said from the side. "All forces are mobilizing troops, which is quite disadvantageous for us!"
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, there is a giant dragon here, and it is a giant dragon with almost divine power!" Zhuoma laughed loudly, "We are fighting side by side with the giant dragon, what else do we have to be afraid of?"
"That's you, I don't know where you get such confidence!" Alvin looked at him and couldn't help but shake his head.
At this moment, a giant dragon suddenly appeared in the airspace above the fortress. The person standing above the dragon was none other than Lord Keen, right?
"Wow!!" All the generals and soldiers, both inside and outside the fortress, kneeled down on one knee subconsciously. The more than 6,000 people who were following the city guards were stunned for a few seconds, and then they knelt down.
However, this kneeling revealed some unexpected characters in the army.
Jia Zhengjin did not let the fake dragon land. He flew directly over the fortress and came to the sky above Zhuoma and others. Looking at the group of people standing in the middle of the crowd behind him, their hands and feet bound by the ring of imprisonment, he asked: "Who are those?"
"Lord Keen," Dolma turned to take a look, then raised his head and replied angrily, "On the way to send the elf princess home, Duke Fellman, the lord of Sea Dragon City, actually sent troops out of the city to intercept and rob people! However, their troops
Weak enough to be defeated directly by us! Then a riot broke out in the city. General Owen, under the command of the Lord of Sea Dragon City, was dissatisfied with the Duke's policy of hunting and buying elves, so he launched an army uprising and cooperated with us inside and outside to capture Duke Fellman and others.
All the dignitaries and nobles! The princess has now been safely sent back to the Forest of Elves. Because we heard that the forces of the major human empires were moving and were preparing to deal with the Holy Dragon City, we rushed on the starry night, bringing envoys from the Forest of Elves with us, including Duke Ferman.
Thirty-six officials and nobles including him have returned!"
"I asked you to send people home, and asked you to ask Duke Fellman for ransom. What does it mean if you capture people for me?" Jia Zhengjin was speechless. "Also, what happened to the troops behind?"
"Lord Keen," Dolma replied, "these are the righteous troops who followed General Irving in the uprising! General Irving asked them to help escort Duke Fairman and the high-ranking nobles of Hailong City over first, and they will stay to assist us.
Station in Holy Dragon City to deal with the possible war that will happen next!"
"Lord Keen," Varian suddenly said on the city wall, "be careful of fraud! If the enemy forces coerce our soldiers and use this as an excuse to defraud the city, there will be endless troubles and it will be impossible to guard against it!"
Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin looked back at Warien in surprise, and then laughed and said: "It's good that you think so, but you are worrying too much! You don't know Zhuoma and the others, but I know very well. They are not
The type who will be subdued by the enemy and obey orders. Hurry open the city gate and welcome our victorious army!"
"Yes!" Although Warien tried to persuade him, he still relied on Jia Zhengjin's orders.
"Lord Keen!!" Zhuoma and the other five generals were all excited, feeling extremely warm in their hearts for Jia Zhengjin's trust.
The fortress gate opened quickly. Led by Dolma, Alvin, Mi Gao, Leo, and Moses, the city guards led the troops from Hailong City and escorted Duke Fellman and the dignitaries of Hailong City through slowly.
"Lord Keen, what should we do with these prisoners?" After entering the fortress, Zhuoma found Jia Zhengjin who had landed.
Jia Zhengjin didn't bother to look at it: "Lock him to the prison first, but remember to separate from other people, so as not to be infected and become blood slaves. We will discuss their problems tomorrow. Today, I will celebrate my success with you and talk about my experience in Hailong City.
! And what’s going on with Owen? Did he really just send these more than 6,000 troops here to assist us? "
"Lord Keen, before that, please talk to the envoy from the elves first!" Zhuoma said, "We can discuss the matter of picking up the wind for us in the evening. This envoy was personally sent by the Elf King. It is absolutely not allowed.
What a neglect! And..."
"What else?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
"Because Duke Fairman refused to pay Lady Natasha's ransom, after we broke through Hailong City, we impulsively looted their treasury. And I took it upon myself to leave half of the gold coins for General Owen, and only transported the other
Half of the gold coins are returned. This was done without Lord Keen’s consent, so please punish me!” Zhuoma lowered his head and said.
"Treasury?" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly reached out and grabbed him, "How many gold coins are there?"
"Lord Keen, all those dozen carriages behind the army are pulling!" Zhuoma whispered, "There are more than 200,000 gold coins in the treasury of Hailong City, and we brought back 100,000! The remaining 100,000,
General Owen will use it to rebuild the city's facilities, appease the people, recruit more soldiers, and build more weapons and armor."
"200,000... Isn't this too poor? Such a small amount of money for a large city treasury?" Jia Zhengjin clenched his fists and almost died of anger, "Why don't you take it all back? Why do you leave it to that guy named Owen?
He is not one of ours!"
"Uh~ Lord Keen, General Owen has surrendered to me!" Zhuoma scratched his face, "I agreed to his surrender on behalf of Lord Keen. It is my fault that I failed to consult Lord Keen in advance!
"
"Then we should just bring back all the people and money! Why stay in Hailong City?" Jia Zhengjin said speechlessly.
"What a pity it would be to give up the city we finally conquered?" Zhuoma replied, "With General Owen running the Sea Dragon City for Lord Keen, we can ensure that the Elf Forest is not intruded. This time the elf envoys are coming.
, one is to thank Lord Keen for saving the elf princess, the other is to thank Lord Keen for taking in the elven people, and the third is to form an alliance with Lord Keen and use the Elf Forest and Sea Dragon City,
The three places of Holy Dragon City are aligned to form the most stable offensive and defensive alliance!"
"Damn it! I can't even take care of my own Holy Dragon City..." Jia Zhengjin's mouth twitched, "Then have you ever raided the homes of those officials and nobles?"
"Lord Keen, that is so inhumane!" Zhuoma shook his head and said, "It will cause public dissatisfaction in Hailong City, which will be very detrimental to us!"
"...What I care about now is not public resentment, but gold coins!" Jia Zhengjin let out a long sigh. How much does he need gold coins now?
