Chapter 996 (1/2)
”What's the matter with this guy?” Seeing the situation beyond the city gate, Christina's face showed a look of doubt and shock.
However, she was also a crisp Lord. Seeing that the situation at the city gate had begun, she even ran directly towards the city gate.
The people who entered the city were none other than Sean, coquirre, levy and Eliza.
Adroan is the terminal of Sean's action plan. He will use the transmission magic array to directly carry out long-distance transmission here and strive to reach the northern solitary tower in the shortest time, because he has no more time to waste.
On the way to adroan, Sean naturally had contact with several caravans.
From these caravans, Sean learned that Emily was indeed assassinated. Although we don't know the specific action, according to the news from the caravan, it can hardly be called an assassination, but a naked assassination - it is said that the escort troops personally sent by the Pope lost two-thirds of their troops, and even seven or eight of the twelve God of war Knights around Emily died, And Emily herself was hurt a lot.
At the last moment, it was Sean's foreshadowing - the Earl of strength from hecarom. Anton personally led an army to arrive, and finally defeated the assassins.
After the failure of the action plan, none of the assassins left alive - not that they did not catch the prisoners, but that they were obviously ready to sacrifice. Everyone prepared poison in advance. As a result, they swallowed poison immediately after being captured. To some extent, this technique is very similar to that of the convent, the shadow temple and the assassin alliance.
But here in the northern duchy Federation, it is impossible for the shadow temple to penetrate, so the biggest suspect falls on the assassin alliance and the hermit.
Sean didn't expect that the other party was so brave that he joined hands with other forces in order to cut off Emily - in fact, although Sean expected that the other party would probably send some loyal confidants to join hands with others, he absolutely didn't expect such a big battle. It's not an ordinary light hand.
Because of this, Sean was worried about Emily's safety at this time.
He didn't want to pick a new saint's spokesperson. Of course, the most important thing is that Emily has the secret of the God thief. If he is found out, he will become the public enemy of the whole continent - even if he has a good relationship with ACE winter, the goddess of ice and snow and winter will certainly not protect her. After all, Sean has the ability to threaten her now.
For various purposes, Sean had to speed up his journey and immediately rushed to adroan.
If Sean knew that Adrian had implemented military control and closed the transmission magic array, Sean would not enter here. At this point, I have to admire woody wylan's brilliant means. His control over the whole city of adroan has reached an amazing level. He can completely block the external intelligence information of the whole city, so that no one knows that adroan city is still closed.
After entering the city, Sean frowned.
Although he has never been to adroan city in the future, he has heard of this important city known as the first line of defense of the east wall.
At least, according to the information Sean heard, the city should be very prosperous, and the daily flow of people in and out should not be less than 10000 units. Although there will be a large number of guards on the streets to patrol and maintain law and order, the whole city will still show an unspeakable vitality, which is the real expression of the word ”prosperity” in this important city.
But now.
Although the street Sean saw was still full of people, and there were all kinds of business cries, the feeling to Sean was not like a vibrant look, but showed a dead look. It's like a strong shadow hovering in adroan. The people here are a little out of breath. Everyone looks worried and flustered.
Moreover, a large number of patrol guards can be seen everywhere in the streets of the whole city.
In particular, some key streets are equipped with corresponding checkpoints and defense garrisons, and the whole city seems to be arranged into a huge defense cobweb. As long as there is a problem in any place, hundreds of soldiers can support around it at the first time. Moreover, through the arrangement of defensive fortifications, they are also offensive and defensive defensive buildings. It is impossible to break through easily.
After all, Sean is a man who has really experienced the battle, so when he sees this arrangement, he doesn't know that adroan city has entered military control.
He immediately felt a toothache and egg pain.
According to the Convention on transmitting magic array of miracle continent, if a city enters the state of military control, the transmitting magic array will be closed at the first time. The closing of a transmission magic array also interrupts the functions of all transmission magic arrays in the area formed by this node - in other words, if the transmission network of someone's transmission destination needs to pass through the transmission magic array node in Adrian City, the transmission will fail, and the other party must bypass the transmission or reselect the transmission target.
Sean began to wonder if he had used up all his luck after he got the silver body.
First, he caused a lot of trouble on the other side of Martha City, which led him to have to make a new plan. As a result, I didn't expect that after more than half a month's journey, I found that the target city originally planned had entered the martial law state of military control, which meant that the transmission magic array of the surrounding four or five cities had been completely interrupted. If Sean wants to use the teleportation magic array, I'm afraid he can only continue north.
This fact made Sean curse hard.
”Let's go.” Sean waved his big hand and walked away.
”Go?” Levi was stunned. ”Where are you going? Haven't we just entered the city? ”
”There's no way. There's military control here. The transmission magic array has been closed. We can only go to other cities.” Sean said helplessly, ”let's go. While it's still early now, we'll start on the road early. Maybe we can find a small town to rest when night falls, otherwise we'll sleep in the wild.”
Levi and Eliza don't know about the Convention on the transmission of magic array, and naturally they won't know about it.
After all, they haven't been there long, and there won't be any military control on the floating island.
In fact, the Discipline Committee of the floating Saint college is responsible for the daily maintenance of law and order on the floating island. Of course, the twelve superior aristocratic families and those big families will naturally cultivate a group of thugs, but these people are responsible for the safety of their families and manors, and can not interfere with the daily operation of the whole floating island.
In short, it is the distinction between police and bodyguards.
So Levi and Eliza don't even know what military control means, let alone the Convention on the transmission of magic array.
But one thing they still understand is that Sean said he wanted to leave here, so the person responsible for protecting Sean's safety naturally left with him.
It's just that it's easier to get into the city than to get out of the city.
Less than five minutes after Sean and the four entered the city, he turned around and wanted to leave. The soldiers in charge of the gate guard immediately stopped him.
”What do you mean?” Sean raised his eyebrows slightly and his eyes were angry.
”I'm sorry, sir. Because the city of adroan is mixed with pagans, the temporary control law has been implemented.” A middle-aged man who looked like a captain said in a low voice, ”everyone is not allowed to leave at will after entering the city If you want to leave the city, you must fill in the application form and have a guarantor to guarantee. You are not allowed to leave until you pass the examination. ”
”The four of us entered the city for less than five minutes. We didn't even officially enter the city. We stood here at the gate for a while. Do you think we can take people away?” Sean was so angry that he began to drink, ”do you have a pit in your head? Or are you blind? ”
In the face of Sean's anger, the middle-aged officer still said in a deep voice: ”I'm sorry, sir. The pagans are very cunning and strange. No one can guarantee whether there is any problem among you. Therefore, if you want to leave the city, please fill in the form first, conduct relevant review, and confirm that there is no problem before you can leave.”
Sean didn't know that this was the latest instruction issued from the city Lord's house half an hour ago.
If Sean had entered the city half an hour earlier, the officer would not have talked to Sean about filling out the application form, but refused it cleanly.
Before, it was not that no one incited and stormed the city gate, trying to cause bloody conflict, forcing woody wylan to release under the pressure of public opinion.
But which of the nobles in the northern duchy Federation who can get the prefix ”strength” is simple and easy?
Woody did not hesitate to directly order the [wylan cavalry Corps] to take action, and immediately put the bloody conflict into full play. Even woody took action himself. More than ten adventurers and mercenaries were directly killed, and three caravans were forcibly expropriated and disbanded. All the caravan guards, business leaders and others were arrested. They are still locked in prison to prove adroan's determination by iron and blood means.
So, naturally, no one will dare to make trouble.
After entering the city, ordinary adventurers and mercenaries found that this situation immediately wanted to turn around and leave like Sean, but after being surrounded by the wylan cavalry corps, they had to give up and leave the city by force. In the northern duchy Federation, some nobles can offend, even if they are killed, but some nobles can't cause conflict anyway.
Woody wylan is undoubtedly one of the nobles who can't cause any conflict.
The name of Marquis of strength is no joke.
In case of any conflict, whether to maintain the prefix name of ”strength” or the face of the family, these nobles will send a large number of troops to pursue and encircle and suppress, or it will be an endless war.
Although Sean really opened his hands and feet to kill, he would not be afraid of the Marquis of strength, but it would undoubtedly cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. So if we can solve the problem by non force means, Sean naturally hopes to solve the problem by non force means.
At this time, with the action of the middle-aged officer, soldiers from several defense garrisons around began to assemble, and the square array was put forward gradually.
This is a very clever means of psychological repression.
Usually adventurers and mercenaries rarely fight against the army, and the murderous spirit of those real powerful legions will not be low. Perhaps they are not the opponents of adventurers and mercenaries in fighting alone, but once they form a military array, their momentum is enough to deter ordinary adventurers and mercenaries. In addition, the momentum created by taking big steps and the encirclement momentum formed by the joint advance of multiple surrounding phalanxes make it easier to defeat the psychological defense line of ordinary adventurers and mercenaries.
This method may be feasible for ordinary people.
But it's obviously impossible to deal with Sean.
Levi and Eliza are also strong in the upper holy land. They have also served as a Discipline Committee on the floating island, responsible for public security patrols, and have touched and seen blood with many criminals. How can they be deterred by such momentum.
At this time, kokirei's eyes flashed a look of unknown meaning - for him, everything in the world is food. Of course, kokirei still disdains the soldiers around him, because the fire of their lives is too weak. Even if the amount is too large, it can't be equal to a real lower Holy Land strongman - even if these people are powerful enough and even have a fatal threat to the lower Holy Land strongman, kokirei doesn't think so.
He is typical of heavy quality rather than weight.
