Full Time Mage Lord

Xiu Yin's tough attitude soon received replies from the imperial dignitaries outside the palace, and most of them chose to surrender.

"Except for the Li Bang'er family and the Longde family in the imperial capital, these two prestigious families have not made any statements. Most of the nobles have chosen to surrender or acquiesce in cooperation."

Hans reported the latest situation in the imperial capital to Xiuyin.

"The palace's resistance on the outside has stopped, and the Imperial Guards have begun to defend the palace. Lord, Emperor Rubik's vanguard may arrive tonight. Are we leaving no one behind at Elegy Fortress?"

In the end, Hans felt that it was a pity to completely abandon the Elegy Fortress. The Elegy Fortress was located in the south of the imperial capital and could be used as the first fortress against Emperor Rubik. Now that the Dragonlight Territory completely abandoned it, it was equivalent to letting Emperor Rubik pick it up in vain. Got a bargain.

"If we have another ten thousand people, I will definitely choose to station some of them in Elegy Fortress. It's a pity..."

Xiuyin did not continue talking, but Hans knew that it was impossible for Lewandoff's army to come to the imperial capital. It was a good thing not to be annihilated by the border guards on the north bank of Tianshui River. If they were mobilized rashly, it would only It would give Emperor Rubik a chance to catch them all.

"Then Lord Lord, what should we do about the Li Bang'er family and the Longde family?"

"Tie their young master to the cross and let them come visit." Xiu Yin said very calmly.

"But, what if this causes resistance from these two families? There are thousands of servants in these two families..."

"Hans, are you pitying them? Back in Navaran, Rebi killed more nobles in Navaran than this."

"But if they cooperate with Rubik's army internally and externally, we won't have enough energy."

"Before noon, let these two families disappear from the history of the imperial capital. Hans, going to the battlefield with hesitation will only give the enemy a chance to stab you in the back. Let Uncle Irwin do it."

Hans hesitated for a moment, then turned and said firmly, "Leave it to me!"

…

The streets of the imperial capital were filled with guards armed with weapons, but most of them were not from the Longhui Territory.

Some of them are mercenaries hired by Xiu Yin, some are the rebels who were defeated last night who are willing to follow Xiu Yin, and some are local ruffians who are willing to be the lackeys of the Longhui leader.

In short, before noon, the imperial capital was relatively stable.

"As long as the warriors of the wyrmlight realm don't do anything excessive to the people, the hundreds of thousands of people will be as docile as sheep."

Xiu Yin faced Hans who had just returned from the mission covered in blood and said, "But for the hungry wolves with exposed fangs, only by scratching their chests with more ferocious claws can they know how powerful you are. It will tuck its tail obediently.”

"Hans, clean up the armor, we're going to leave."

Hans seemed to be hearing the screams of women and children, which prevented him from hearing Xiu Yin's words clearly.

"Hans?" Xiuyin noticed that Hans was dazed.

"Ah, yes, sir. Departure? Where to go?" Hans came back to his senses, but was confused about this departure.

"south."

Xiu Yin checked the small crossbow mounted on his arm. He hadn't used it for some time, but Xiu Yin had always kept it in good condition.

The small crossbow was in good condition. Xiu Yin put down his sleeves and put on a piece of leather armor outside his cloth robe.

A nondescript outfit, but very practical.

Mages disdain the glory of knights, and naturally they don't care about knights' equipment.

Of course Xiu Yin was different. If he had the physical strength to bear heavy armor, he would not hesitate to wear a heavy helmet. Now wearing leather armor would at least reduce the chance of being injured by stray arrows on the battlefield.

"But to the south is Elegy Fortress. Didn't we decide to give up there?"

Hans followed hurriedly, picking up a piece of linen cloth and wiping the blood on the armor.

"South of Elegy Fortress, of course there will also be some gifts prepared for Emperor Rubik..."

…

As evening came and before it got dark, the vanguard of Rubik's return, the 5,000 cavalry led by Paladin Mader, included 2,000 heavy armored knights.

When all the cavalry appeared on the horizon, taking advantage of the last rays of the setting sun, Mader ordered the troops to slow down their advance.

"Send out scouts from both wings!"

Mader was not only rushing along the way, he was also analyzing the war strategy of the Longhui Territory.

From the Namikaze Empire to directly enter the hinterland of the Motu Empire, and capture Dirk City and Elegy Fortress, this is indeed an honor worth boasting about for a lifetime...

"Hmph, it's a pity that this little glory is not enough!"

Mader blew his beard and said, "Martial is just a clown who relies on women."

In the eyes of Earl Marder, Martial's ability to be ennobled as a marquis naturally relied on his special relationship with the emperor. As for his traditional knightly abilities, Marder was dismissive of them.

"General!"

A scout of Marder came next to the Paladin of Marder. He was the scout sent out before, and now he has returned to the general after collecting information.

"What's going on at Elegy Fortress?"

Marder asked. Marder was still very shocked when he received the news of the fall of Elegy Fortress the day before yesterday. Although he looked down on Marquis Martial, the strength of Elegy Fortress was one of the best in Qiyao.

"General, general..."

The scout's expression was not good-looking, and his words were hesitant.

Mardel was a little impatient. Why were his men so unhappy with their work? Especially since Mardel always believed that it was a waste of time to add a person's name or title before every sentence. Hasn't anyone calculated it? , how much time would be saved if I omitted the general or your Excellency, especially now that I could hear useful information from the scouts.

"Did the Fortress of Elegy fall? Tell me how many people there are on the wall, and are their flags bright?"

Mardel felt that the scouts were a little nervous. The fall of Elegy Fortress was not an exaggeration, and even if they captured the prisoners of Elegy Fortress, hey, Mardel would definitely rather these Elegy Fortress soldiers pursue the highest glory...

"No, no..." The scout thought that he must finish his words in one breath, otherwise the general's anger would affect him. "There are not many people on the walls of Elegy Fortress, and most of the flags are in tatters. . Then, then, then, the imperial capital fell..."

The scout's legs had tightened around the war horse, but as a burst of soul pressure surged around Mader's body in front of him, the paladin's pressure was immediately unbearable for the scout, and his body still fell from the horse.
