Black Scepter Chapter 43: Every pregnant ghost
>City of West Sellin, Lord Tower.
Ashkandi, who stood in the open-air tower and looked back at Varian, was expressionless. This was the most solemn atmosphere in a long time. Varian was sitting on a seat prepared for guests, pinching a cane ,in silence.
"Consanas family, to be honest, your appearance does not surprise me."
Ashkandi is not enthusiastic.
"The family is very pleased with your appearance, but witnessed that the old guys of that era are no longer in the world. When I was born, old Milick had given up the position of the head of the house, and now those people should not say anything. Bury all the secrets. My appearance is not to dig out something that should not be excavated to make you happy."
After thinking for a long time, Varian seemed like a passive cowardly character. He paused and then said softly: "Hegel is the last member of the Glass family."
"The continent is always like this. Old families disappear, new ones appear. If they are not strong enough, they will be eliminated. When Milick played a slick head in front of me, how many Ivy Leagues are left in the forefront of the mainland? There are a few unlucky ghosts that have been eliminated."
In the age of Ashkandi, "Grass" was the first family in the north. Its power is amazing, and its strength is even more powerful.
"Grass has been out of the first sequence for a long time."
"So I will let you sit in this seat and explain your true intentions."
Ashkandi didn’t weaken because of Varian’s weak posture, and he still seemed aggressive.
In the afternoon sun, Varian’s pale hair was slightly scattered by the wind on the top of the tower. He reached out and held the golden "Alpha" emblem, lowered his head and rubbed it gently, and then raised his hand to show it to After Ashcandi, the hoarse voice echoed quietly at the top of the tower-"I have to bear some responsibility, such as the death of the dead sent by you, or the assassination of the young elf, although this is not my order, but I need to make my own apologies."
"I am not a priest in the confession room, nor do you seem to be a sinner who came to my confession."
Autumn wind has already brought a little coolness, Ashcandy’s black hair was blown up, and his voice was cold and abnormal.
"The fruits that fall on the ground always rot quickly. This is an irresistible thing. The same is true of the "creed". After the golden age of a continent-based intelligence organization, I now want to grab it by myself, it is really It’s not a simple thing. Even if I have the surname of Consanas on my head, it doesn’t mean that someone as fearless as you will really value the energy behind it.”
Varian had some helplessly put away the insignia, "Now, "Alpha" has brought me no longer glory, but a burden. It has endured more and more sins and has lost its original Belief-What a ridiculous thing it is if the'creed' loses its creed, isn't it?"
"What is the relationship with the Glass family?"
“The “Creed” branch in Balice will always cause something that is not insignificant. For example, Maxim, the giant of the heretical tribunal, took off his Alpha emblem from here, resulting in the “creed” in Balice’s intelligence network has been vacuumed for more than three weeks, and although the kid in Grass did not join the creed, the things behind him are the root of the creed."
The old man turned his head to look around the Hegel army that had started the attack on the city of West Sellin. The black phalanx of soldiers and engineering towers were rushing towards the outer wall of the city of West Sellin. Ready to fight.
Ashkandi was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Want to make a transaction? You have the strength to explore these things at any time, why do you want me to do it?"
"It’s not difficult for me to defeat Hegel, but only if he has become your opponent, which will prevent me from digging into it-respect for the Misery family, Konsa Nas will always bear in mind, if you think this is a transaction, of course, I dedicate my chips-to solve this matter, I will come up with the "creed" access to most resources in Balice."Wa Ryan is completely unlike a politician, and the conditions he opens up are very generous. "Keeping some secrets is a painful thing. In order not to let it leak, people will become slaves of lies, and on the way to destruction. The farther and farther the rotten part of the creed is, so forgive me for not letting those members of the creed who have already abandoned it to serve you."
"Solve this matter? This is not a clear concept."
Ashkandi is seriously considering the value of this political deal-for her, the role of "creed" is definitely much greater than the territorial strength, because this black eye Ashkandi is the most What I want to do is not to conquer the mainland, but to find the blood family of the prince hidden in the dark world.
That’s not something a simple intelligence agency can look for. Varian’s words seem to have been premeditated and well-established, and whether the old man’s real purpose is the source of the creed, Ashkandi is not too interested .
"I can put some of Ballyce's resources in your hands now, how to use them is your business, and the things behind Hegel, how to interrogate, is my business, how?"
Ashkandi closed his eyes slightly, and nodded faintly when he opened them again.
"Deal."
"Boom!"
The popping sound of the frontal battlefield is endless, and the neat army of Hegel is already advancing towards the walls of Sisselin!
The four tall siege towers are advancing slowly. The flat road allows the tower to move very fast. Inside and behind the tower are soldiers waiting for the line, and above the tower is a long archer with an amazing range-standing At the top of the tower, which is similar to the height of the city wall, these long archers have already suffered a serious blow to the defenders of the city of Sisselin with an amazing range of 300 meters!
This time, there is no fog to cover the battlefield, no vacuum enchantment to make the arrows lose their accuracy, so the Cesar City defender and the Hegel army started the decisive battle with such a tough attitude!
Compared with the rapid offensive momentum of the Hegel army, the defenders on the city walls have not yet exceeded 700, the reserve team has only two batches, and the trebuchet used to defend the siege towers is inefficient. The headless tossed the stone bombs around the enemy towers again and again-Lord Gard never thought that his central city would encounter this level of battle. He was always an Count offensive to others, although he built it for the defense of the city. Defensive equipment such as catapults, but because they have not been used all the year round, the engineers who manipulate it are simply blind cats catching the mouse by luck.
In the end, when the four siege towers reached the city wall, the trebuchet only destroyed one of them by luck-but all this could not stop the fact that the enemy directly invaded the walls of Sisserin with the help of a stepped tower!
This is a city with no defensive ability. The width of the moat is not even as long as the wooden ladder extending from the siege tower. The first batch of enemies rushed up the wall and started the battle with a sword. The longbowmen still rely on strong and accurate The attack power of the reserve team behind the city wall suffered a terrorist attack. The defensive troops with low morale and a completely suppressed number of defenders simply could not bear this penetration and advancement, and they were defeated. They even let it go for an hour. Out of the city wall.
For the attackers of this era, the breakthrough of the city wall has already meant the success of the siege.
But behind the late reserve team outside the city wall, Hegel riding on the horse suddenly pulled the reins to an open space, and had not waited for the horses to stop, the once-used "Cinsaco" The level assassin appeared.
The black pure-blooded horse is more than a normal horse, its blood is from the north like the rider, and the lord in a black armor sees the appearance of Kaye, then turns over and jumps down the horse to show his royal Respect-He bowed his head slightly and said, "Can't you start your actions now?"
"I have to make sure that the city falls completely before I start."
The assassin with a black dagger in his waist seems to be dissatisfied with this lord who has never been equipped with any staff and adjutants, frowning: "Why disobey the order? If you come from Pars or Erdos at this time What if the reinforcements arrive? You don’t seem to be an aggressive commander, and your sudden decision has not been approved by the royal family."
"The royal family agrees? The mission the royal family has arranged for me is to take down the territory of Garde~IndoMTL.com~ instead of following orders at every step." Hegel, who never loves nonsense, said in a low voice, His eyes narrowed slightly, "The process is important for a war? I have given you the result you want. The city walls have fallen. The city has no enough resistance against me. Why are you still procrastinating?"
He reached for the Cecilin Wall that could be seen in the distance. The burning black smoke meant that the city was undergoing the baptism of war, and there were no traces of fighting on the wall, which proved that the troops under him had penetrated. To the inside of the city-the words "winning the ticket" are appropriate.
Assassins seeing this situation are also slightly hesitant. Strong strength does not mean a wealth of strategic consciousness and experience. As an assassin, he is good at killing people, but he does not have a keen sense of smell for this large-scale war-one It is not uncommon for non-commanders or militarists to see a large number of players in a siege battle with a considerable number of troops.
In the end, Kaye looked at the burning black wall and turned and disappeared into the shadows.
"The next target is probably me?"
Hegel sighed, turned his horse, but rushed straight to the front of the battlefield.
