Full Time Mage Lord

"They are all, or were, warriors of the empire. They will feel sad if they are allowed to attack their own capital with weapons."

"Then they will attack us?" Hans was a little worried. After all, his back was exposed to them, and more importantly, Long Hui's combat power was beyond this.

"Look at them."

Xiu Yin asked Hans to turn around and follow his gaze.

Thousands of Mingwei's men were caught in chaos outside the city. Some warriors were holding water bags and frantically drinking the nectar of life inside. Some warriors were grabbing the remaining bread crumbs from the Longhui warriors. Pour it into your mouth...

"Only in the face of extreme disappointment and visible hope can people calm down and think about problems." Xiu Yin withdrew his gaze and stopped looking there, because he wanted to focus on the front, not behind him.

Hans turned back thoughtfully, "I heard that there are more than 10,000 guardsmen guarding the palace."

"Hans, if people only compare superficial strength and weakness, then the Eternal Empire is really eternal. No one, even two hundred years ago, when the Eternal Empire began to fall apart, can No one believes that would be true. Because eternity is too powerful. The Royal Knights, the Royal Guards, the Paladins who are only loyal to the Royal family, the Great Mage..."

"But in the end, eternity became the past and it was ended. Just when people still believed that the power of the Eternal Empire could absolutely suppress any rebellion..."

Xiu Yin stopped talking, but Hans already understood something.

"Just like now, when everyone thought that the Qiyao family was the absolute power in the mainland, the Holy Alliance broke this ridiculous myth!"

Hans said feeling very happy.

He didn't like Haider, he wanted Xinghui to be strong, and he naturally hated the oppression from the Qiyao family.

In addition to the Qiyao family seeking benefits for the people under their rule, the remaining intelligent creatures on the continent can only live under their despotic power.

There isn't a person in a small town or country who doesn't hope that one day all seven bastards will fall.

So when the Holy Alliance's army invaded the Bibo Kingdom, this was the best news for Hans.

Therefore, even if the Holy Alliance was defeated, their remaining forces still received support from various forces, and they were still active in Qiyao's territory.

Being able to hold back the northern army of the Motu Empire was thanks to the remaining forces of the Holy Alliance so that Xiuyin could focus all his energy on reinforcements for Emperor Rubik.

"No matter how many people there are in the Royal Palace Guards, you must know that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Imperial Capital." Xiu Yin said unhurriedly.

"But these hundreds of thousands of people won't listen to us." Hans knew that there must be something else in Xiuyin's words, but it was a pity that he couldn't figure it out at this time.

"Hans, don't just worry about the 10,000 guards. You just need to know that except for the 10,000 guards in the palace, there is no need for us to capture the palace." Xiuyin patted Hans on the shoulder, hoping that he would understand. own words.

Hans suddenly realized something, but immediately felt that something was wrong.

"The lord wants to besiege rather than attack? Yes, there are more than 20,000 people in the palace including the royal family members and servants. Sooner or later, they will starve to death... But before that, Emperor Rubik's army will also Came here!"

Hans knew that with the reserves in the palace, even if they were besieged, there would be enough food to last them for a month, and in less than two days, Emperor Rubik's vanguard might come back in another day.

well……

Xiu Yin sighed, it seemed that Hans still didn't understand.

"Hans, what's the point of taking over the palace for us? We can occupy the administrative hall and military garrison of the imperial capital and control the city. As for the palace, it's best if they are willing to stay inside. Save We still need to allocate some troops to watch over there."

"Ah?! What does the lord mean by that, we don't care about them?"

Hans found it a bit incredible. Among the war stories in the book, every one of them included a heroic siege battle and palace defense battle.

Unfortunately, following Xiu Yin until now, the siege has not been brutal at all, and there has never been any scene of resistance in the palace.

The palace is a symbol of imperial power, and taking it here symbolizes conquest...

Hans didn't understand, but Xiu Yin's strange behavior gradually made him feel relieved.

…

Before dawn, the flames burning in the imperial capital began to extinguish. Mingwei, who was in Deke City, watched the fireworks in the imperial capital gradually fade away. He sighed to Bacto beside him, "It's over. Another member of the Qiyao family The imperial capital has been captured, and I wonder how the distant Yongyao Empire should react?"

The more Bacto listened to Mingwei's words, the angrier he became. He didn't know why this young man he had watched grow up for five years became like this.

"Nonsense! Mingwei, do you know what you are doing? It's still too late to gather the troops to find glory. Even if he defeats Rubik, what about Yongyao? The power of the Yongyao Empire is something that barbarians like them can't understand! "

"Uncle Bacto, we are now seeking new glory, real glory." Mingwei's eyes never left the Imperial Capital in the west, "Moreover, isn't the Imperial Capital also occupied by the barbarians that uncle said?"

Bacto was speechless to refute Mingwei's words, but there was no way. Mingwei's reputation in the army was too high, and last night he raised the words "eastern", which had awakened the nightmare sleeping in the hearts of the Motu people. This makes these people who come to Deke City now just to proudly say these words to the people of the Imperial Capital one day, "Look, it's to the west!"

…

"What's going on with the city defense troops?"

Xiu Yin stood in the administrative residence of the imperial capital, which had been captured by Irwin last night, and was currently engaged in street fighting with the city defense troops surrounding the palace.

"Still tenacious, sir. According to the news from Charlotte, Emperor Rubik's vanguard will arrive as soon as tonight."

"It seems there is still one day left..."

Xiu Yin rubbed his hands together, and the friction made his palms feel warm.

"Let Chris take those guys out, let the leaders of the city defense army come out and take a look, and according to the family list written by those guys, correspond to each other in the city, and those who surrender will be taken back and Pay enough money and materials or things that will allow us to live in the imperial capital."

"What about those who don't surrender?" Although Hans didn't want to ask, he had to ask.

"Those who don't surrender, send them a finger of their precious son every hour. If the finger is missing, cut off the toe, and tell them that if they don't express their position before Rubik's army appears in the imperial capital, they will wait. Those precious heads.”
