Hilly led the cavalry to attack the north gate of Coldwind City, blocking the enemy's large-scale evacuation road. The nobles in the city fled and had to climb over the city wall to leave.
Without the most convenient passage, only a few people could finally escape. At least most of the noble lackeys, including but not limited to their servants, attendants, family members, and property were left behind.
Without the latter, it will be difficult for a small number of nobles to make trouble. Even if they can gather a small team, they can only become bandits in the wilderness, and they cannot have the power to counterattack like the Longlegs.
In the past, the Arad family took the lead in the rebellion, and they actually negotiated peace after fighting. If Zhou Qingfeng was in charge, he would never let Phils. Long Legs leave, let alone allow the other party to bring a large number of subordinates and family property with him.
This is completely like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, with endless troubles.
Now Zhou Qingfeng comes to deal with Arad and other powerful people. He would rather pay some losses than let his opponents leave.
Hilly captured the north gate, and the maneuverable Mahan followed closely with an infantry battalion. The latter guarded the city gate and built a defense line, freeing the former to join the lord and expand the victory.
Under the Wizard's Tower.
Todd wore a barbarian helmet and heavy-metal rock-style full-body plate armor, making the ground shake when he walked. Orc warriors carried shiny axes, and their burly figures marched in formation on the street, breathing murderous air.
‘Swift Shadow’ is an undead and half-demon, and its image is too evil and ferocious. In order to avoid giving a bad negative image to the city residents, it rarely comes to Cold Wind City.
Now this skeletal war horse rushed in front of its owner like a wild horse, with negative energy surrounding its body like fire from the underworld. It howled and howled in the deserted streets, scaring the residents of the city out of their wits.
"Master, I heard that you suddenly attacked the powerful people in the city, caught them off guard, and did not accept the other party's peace talks. You are so shameless and despicable."
'Swift Shadow' was huge in size, but it was jumping around Zhou Qingfeng like a dog. Xili was so uncomfortable being bumped on its back that she had to knock its head.
Zhou Qingfeng mounted his mount again, and Xili rode with him. The elf girl hugged his back and whispered, "Victor, why did you suddenly attack without notifying me in advance?"
Everything went so smoothly that Hilly even suspected that her man had been prepared.
"I originally wouldn't take action for at least half a year, but the opportunity came like this. I didn't expect the wizards and nobles in the city to be so careless.
Later, when I find out who is behind the trouble, I will definitely write about him and give him a whole corpse as a reward." Zhou Qingfeng turned his horse's head with a wry smile and waved his hand towards the city lord's palace.
With the support of a five-hundred-meter link network, Adrian's team reported to him the situation at multiple points in the Noble District from a distance.
The situation in Cold Wind City is now under control. In the history of Northland's coup to seize the city, it has never been so easy!
The dispersed nobles were shocked by the strange change but lost the ability to counterattack. Seeing the opportunity, they ran out of the city one after another. Occasionally, those who were alone were intercepted one by one by the hunting team.
The cavalry advanced in multiple directions and surrounded the city's main palace. The adjacent streets were in chaos.
Servants and women were running around with large and small bags. Lost clothes, shoes and even gold and silver jewelry were scattered on the ground. Many people were fighting and quarreling in the dark, making croaking noises.
The 'Fast Shadow' appeared, and its eyes lit up with two evil flames in the dark night. Anyone who watched it at close range would have to make a will test, and if they failed, they would fall into a sluggish state.
If the test is passed, the low-status slaves will also scream in surprise. They are like mice meeting cats, running around in a panic.
Someone bumped into the wall without thinking, knocking himself unconscious before being pulled down.
Adrian jumped out from the wall outside the city lord's palace and reported in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Old Arad led people to hide in the temple of the Frost Goddess, mainly stationed in the Winter Hall.
There are at least two hundred enemies, including more than twenty family wizards and more than seventy knights. They were caught off guard by us this time, and they are obviously short of manpower."
Adrian smiled excitedly, mocking the noble's embarrassment. He also thought that this was the lord's wisdom and prowess, and he had dealt a fatal blow to his opponent while strictly blocking the news.
This blow hit the vital point of the powerful people, not only defeating the wizard group, but also making each noble family extremely embarrassed. Being able to command such a difficult operation smoothly can be called an art.
"Your Excellency Hugo, will you force those nobles to leave Cold Wind City? Just like you did with the Long Legs family."
"Wouldn't it be better to kill them? This will save them from coming back to trouble me."
"But they hid in the Frost Temple."
"Then demolish the temple as well."
this.....?
Adrian knew that his lord was audacious, but demolishing a god's earthly residence still challenged his cognition. Although the Frost Goddess was only a weak divine power, she was still a god after all.
"Do you believe in Oulul?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
Damn it, you call God by his name again.
Adrian was so frightened that he jumped away quickly and looked up at the sky.
The sky has not yet broken, but thunder and lightning pierce the darkness and tear the clouds from time to time. The rumble of thunder is rolling in, and the cold wind is already carrying ice particles, blowing on people's faces and causing pain.
The kingdom of God where Oluel lives is called 'Heart of Fury'. She is the subordinate god of Talos, the god of storm and destruction. Talos, the powerful god, is extremely violent and constantly plunders Oluul's divine power.
As a result, Oluel's temper is extremely capricious, and she often gets into trouble. She constantly exerts force on the North, letting the cold invade the earth, and making believers always fearful to make up for the loss of her divine power.
But there was no thunder in the sky.
'Jiying' kicked the dirt with his front hooves and said calmly: "What are you afraid of? Even if lightning strikes, you are a clown. Naturally, you will hit the master on my back first, and then me. You are ranked third at most."
Sounds reasonable.
"I don't believe in the Frost Maiden." Adrian shook his head, thinking it would be better not to discuss the matter. "It's just that it's not easy to demolish the temple.
Old Arad and others are praying in the Winter Hall. They wish that the divine power from heaven would freeze the entire Cold Wind City. The further they go, the lower the temperature becomes. It is already frozen when approaching the temple."
Without Adrian's reminder, Zhou Qingfeng could already feel the cold current surging above the temple, expanding outwards. In the two or three minutes he stopped, the surface temperature dropped several degrees.
If the slave who fainted on the ground didn't wake up and escape immediately, he might freeze to death. There are also many noble family members hiding in the city lord's palace, and these people will definitely be frozen alive into ice sculptures.
Oluel is ruthless, even to his followers.
Low temperature does affect combat effectiveness. Zhou Qingfeng only waved. The orc guards who followed put down the large box they were carrying and took out bottles and cans one by one.
In order to deal with the cold in Oluer, he had already prepared.
What's in the jar is no longer napalm, but wood tar obtained by retorting wood. Peat can be found in the Black Forest, and some coal tar can be obtained after retorting.
Lightly distilled wood is used for further processing, and fully distilled charcoal is used for metal smelting.
Although the by-product wood tar is not as good as napalm, it at least does not occupy Zhou Qingfeng's daily transportation quota.
Smash the jars containing wood tar directly on the ground, and it will burn very high when lit. The flames will last for a long time. Light a few more fire balls on the street, and people will feel the warmth under the light of the flames.
This is a simplified version of the incandescent glue, the Molotov cocktail.
