Release that Witch Chapter 586: Battle of Scarlet Water City
After two days of sailing, villages and farmland appeared on the deserted green fields, and the city walls of Scarlet Water City also appeared in front of the advance troops.
As the largest city on Scarlet Water River, it has a population comparable to the old Kingdom Capital and natural resource. If it is not Silver Light City for the minerals, there will be too many points. Perhaps the ancestors of Wimbledon will set Kingdom Capital to Scarlet Water instead of City of Dawn.
Brian raised telescope and observed for a while, "What to do when dock arrives? First, use the gun to deter them?"
"That may arouse hostility from the other party feudal lord. Our primary goal is Church, and the others can be set aside," Iron Axe shook his head, "according to your diplomatic process, submit document/secretary first."
The fleet immediately caused a commotion after docking in the suburbs dock. As the soldiers lined up outside dock, city gate quickly closed, and even the moat ’s suspension bridge was pulled up.
Brian received a response after sending document/secretary.
"The other party said that Your Excellency feudal lord welcomes the Your Majesty's army, but you need to send envoy into the city to account for situation. After understanding the reason, he will open city gate and let us enter the city." The soldier returned to report.
"What situation? Isn't it clear on document/secretary?" Brian said unhappy. "We only target Church. He wanted Is it possible to run away with those **** sticks?"
"This is also your rule?" Iron Axe turned his head, looking at the accompanying staff members.
"Uh ... noble, it should be," Petrov's Guard Captain Travnik replied, "After all, it is not Your Majesty Roland in person, Scarlet Water City is not in the area under his jurisdiction, it is normal for the other party to have a doubtful attitude. As long as it is sent to meet the status envoy, just elaborate on it. "
"Eligible?"
"The big family that can win the feudal lord," Travnik explained, "such as Western Region's Honeysuckle."
Iron Axe, Brian, and Van'er looked at each other. Before they became First Army commanders, one was Sandpeople and the latter two were civilians. Not only did they not know anything about noble communication, nor did they have the identity to talk to City Lord peers.
"It would be easier for me to bombard the city gate directly with a shell," Brian was annoyed. "As long as they hit two guns, they will know what is the correct way."
"Let me come," Edith said. "The Kant family is the family of northern region. My father is also Duke. It is not a problem to be envoy."
"What if this is a scam?" Van'er hesitantly said, "For example, Scarlet Water City feudal lord has long collusion with Church, wait for you to go in and arrest you, and then force us to retreat."
"That's not good for him, and you won't do it, will you?" Edith smiled, "If any noble with a normal head will not think about envoy, it will only attract other nobles. His dislike will not affect the overall situation. If he really colludes with Church, he should directly block the city. In fact, up to now, they have not set up bonfires and hot oil in the city.
"Let me go with her," said Sir Schilt. "At least I was Knight. I can take care of her if I am in danger."
"Although I appreciate your concern, Pearl of the Northern Lands does not require anyone to take care of it." Edith said confidently.
"Let's bring a team of soldiers," Iron Axe finally decided, "Once we hear the gunfire, we will launch a storm."
...
After one hour, city gate slowly opens and the suspension bridge is lowered.
A group of people stared blankly as Miss Edith was escorted by the First Army squad and a row of silver armored Knight. The same chubby middle-aged man came out. Although the man was gorgeously dressed, his expression and manner seemed to please her quite well, and at first glance he looked like a servant.
"This is feudal lord Delta Earl of Scarlet Water City," came to the crowd, and Edith introduced, "I also asked him to send a patrol to surround the church, so that the priests and priests could not escape." It is the commander of Your Majesty's First Army, Lord Iron Axe, and Mr. Brian and Van'er. "
"Iron Axe ... what?" Earl was probably the first time I heard such an introduction and couldn't help it.
"Don't worry," she laughed. "This is the nickname of Your Majesty."
"So that's it," Delta cleared his throat, "I've heard of Fourth Prince ... no, His Majesty The King's unique behavior is really different. That ... Scarlet Water City welcomes you, please, Your Majesty really Just want to know Church's rebels? "
This person is feudal lord of Scarlet Water City? Brian was surprised to think that it was too much worse than expected.
"Yes," Iron Axe nodded solemnly, "I think Your Majesty's document/secretary has been written very clearly, Church tried to annex Four Great Kingdoms, and the rebellion has become a reality, and the tragedies of Eternal Winter and Wolf Heart should be heard. Once After destroying the church's resistance, we will leave. "
"Actually ... you don't need to worry so much," Delta rubbed his hands, "I will hold a grand banquet in the castle at night, I hope everyone can attend."
Although he is inviting everyone, his eyes are always looking at Pearl of the Northern Lands.
Brian just wanted to decline, but saw Edith respond, "Thank you for your kind invitation, this is our honor, but we have to wait to complete the task of Your Majesty."
"Of course," Earl narrowed his eyes with a smile.
...
First Army began to enter the city in an orderly manner under the guidance of Knight. While Earl didn't notice, Brian walked to Edith and lowered his voice and asked, "Why do you agree to his invitation? The other party obviously looks bad!"
"This is the usual communication between noble. It is rude to refuse," she said disapprovingly. "I do n’t know why Your Majesty completely excludes noble from the army, but you now represent Your Majesty Roland Naturally, impossible completely rejected these things. And now that the relationship is established, it will be much easier to recover Scarlet Water City in the future. As for his bad intentions ... "She pouted," Can the male noble show another expression? "
"Uh ..." Brian was speechless for a while, and sighed after a long while, "Do you usually live like this?"
"Apart from being a little boring, there is nothing wrong with it," Edith said with a hint of irony, "Why, have you never envied the life of noble?"
"I" He opened his mouth, but couldn't answer.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of me, as if someone was shouting something, and there was a sound of crushed stones on the ground.
"What happened?" Earl asked.
And Iron Axe has raised his right hand, clenched into a fist, "The whole army listens to orders, be vigilant on the spot!"
The team immediately stopped marching. The soldiers neatly removed the rifles behind them, and quickly changed from a column to a number of horizontal teams.
At this moment, Silvie in the middle of the team reminded aloud, "Be careful! There is a magic power response in front!" (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.) 17-02-1411 : 11: 41
