Chapter 329 Yang Yan, Lord of Yanyang City
More than a hundred years ago, Yanyang City was still the most prosperous and wealthy place in the old Ponte Empire. Some of the high-end and top-level magic medium materials produced here, and All kinds of rare items are exported to countries all over the world, and the huge profits made are also very scary.
Later on, the division and disintegration of old Ponte, and the resulting competition among the five countries, slowly transformed Yanyang City from a commercial city into a large military city. After the Penelope family occupied Yanyang City, they went to great lengths to build military defenses, and Yanyang City was rebuilt again to form the current military barrier.
In fact, Yan Yangcheng is not just a city, but an interdependent defense area composed of a main city and three garrison cities within an area of about 230 square kilometers. These three garrison cities are distributed in three directions of the main city in a triangle shape, with the main city as the center. During wartime, no matter which city is attacked, the main city can quickly provide support, and the other two cities can also respond quickly. , to assist in defense. During the rule of the Penelope family, indeed no country could go beyond the limits.
But at this moment, this Yanyang City, which once made countless people proud and made all residents feel proud, is filled with a haze. The original singing and drinking disappeared, replaced by whispers and discussions in the streets and alleys, giving a sense of panic.
While the five-nation coalition forces were discussing how to attack Yanyang City, a meeting was also held in the main city of Yanyang to discuss how to defend against this large-scale attack by the five-nation coalition forces.
After the meeting, a handsome young man in white clothes opened the door and entered the inner hall of Yanyang City, followed closely by an old man in his fifties or sixties.
"Today's meeting went well." The young man in white turned around and looked at the old man with a half-smile on his face. This young man is the current city lord of Yanyang City, Penelope Yangyan. Although he is only nineteen years old now, he already looks very mature in terms of height, physique, and demeanor, like a mature man of twenty-four or five-year-old.
The old man waved his hand, and a gust of wind closed the door of the inner hall. He walked to Yang Yan and said: "People's hearts are floating. It turns out that those people like to talk about this and that and brag about their own affairs whenever they have a meeting. Credit, but today they are all dead.”
Yang Yan still had that half-smiling expression: “The army is pressing down on the border, and everyone has a stone in their heart.”
The old man said: "I think they are timid and want to retreat."
"It's better to escape. If it were me, I would think about surrendering and rebelling." Yang Yan said with a smile. .
"You will not surrender, this is your city."
Yang Yan laughed loudly after hearing this: "Why can't I surrender? Uncle Naka, these five countries Are we really working together? With my ability, as long as I lean towards any side, they may not accept it."
"You..." When the old man heard what he said, his long gray beard trembled with anger. .
Yang Yan said: "If I knew I would lose, I would not choose to defend. However, it has not reached this point yet."
Hearing what the city lord said, Naka calmed down his anger and stared straight into the eyes. Look at him.
Yang Yan said: "Uncle Naka, don't think too bad about today's situation."
"Isn't today bad?" Naka said: "At the end of the meeting Everyone expressed their stance, and most of them advocated peace talks or surrender, and they even said they wanted to abandon the city, or they just didn't say anything and didn't express their stance. Even Tom actually said he wanted to abandon the city and run away. Words. Others are making "residents' joint proposals" to demand surrender, which really pisses me off!"
"Human, that's what it is." Yang Yan looked at the ceiling and said, "You can't see it usually. Only at such a critical time can we see them most thoroughly and clearly. Didn’t today’s meeting allow us to see many people clearly? ”
Naka said: "Then what should we do now? If we fight with this kind of morale, it is impossible for Yangyan City to defend it."
Yangyan said: "I said, if things really come to a head I won't run away if I can save myself. Even if they get some sort of title dragon knight, it's not impossible for them to fight."
"Are you sure?" Naka asked doubtfully.
Yang Yan smiled: "Uncle Naka, you and my father are brothers of life and death, and you watched me grow up. Am I the kind of person who has no sense of proportion?"
Although Naka heard what he said, he was still worried: "What can you do..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "City Lord, Lord Naka, the latest information."
"Come in." Naka said.
The door was pushed open and then closed. An intelligence officer handed the information to Naka and said: "This is the latest interception of Chelesi's communication stone information." The information transmission function of the communication stone is the first in history. Developed by a space mage, Kmiel Sen Darren, it uses the same magic resonance principle of the narcissus stone to transmit information through the effect of a special space magic circle.
After this method of information transmission was widely used, it was extended to the use of special methods to encrypt the magic circle so that the transmitted information would not be known to others. The principle is that the information sender and receiver use the same detailed magic circle to communicate. The so-called identical details are to add some special magic transmission lines to the array without changing the principle of this space magic array to encrypt the transmitted information. Only those who completely know the transmission line of the sender's magic array can use the communication stone to sense the information sent by the other party. This is widely used in the military and various trade unions.
Naka waved his hand and the man went down.
Yang Yan turned back and looked at him.
After Naka looked at it again, his face suddenly became solemn: "City Lord, the coalition forces have made another big move."
"Oh! What?"
< br>"They are going to spend a lot of money to hire the S-class mercenary group 'Sun Dancers' to participate in this battle."
"Oh~~~!" Yang Yan just responded with a long response and nodded.
Naka said with a livid face: "As a 7S mercenary group, each one has very strong strength, and can even defeat a small military power! If they really come, for The current situation is undoubtedly making things worse.”
Yang Yan also frowned slightly, and he also knew what it meant for the S-class mercenary group to participate in this incident. He pondered for a while and said: "The S-class mercenary group will participate. In the eyes of any mercenary group, Yanyang City has become a piece of fat. Such a large amount of wealth is enough to make many people rich overnight. "
"If they get involved in this matter..."
"If they get involved in this matter, there will be little hope of saving Yanyang City," Yang Yan said for him. over.
Naka said with a heavy face: "Ever since your father Flanders, in order to better rule Yanyang City, he has disbanded the mercenary group established by your grandfather. Instead, he has taken in some other mercenary groups and refugees. people form a fighting force, because of the generous rewards, these People are also willing to contribute to Yanyang City. But now that the enemy's army is approaching and people's hearts are scattered, if they know about the 'Sun Dancer', they will definitely make up their minds to leave, and we don't actually have much power under our control. .”
Yang Yan He nodded: "This is indeed a difficult thing to handle."
"No." Naka said: "I'm going to order the news to be blocked now. They can't let them know about it."
Yang Yan waved his hand to stop him: "It's useless. This Even if we don’t let them know the news, the enemy will find a way to let people in the city know it. No matter how hard we hide it, we can’t hide it.” Watch them leave?”
"Yes, we can't let them leave." Yang Yanwei sighed softly: "If they leave, I just want to surrender, and the capital to negotiate with the five-nation coalition will be gone."
Naka listen to him Saying this, he became even more angry: "It's already this time, and you still..."
Yang Yan interrupted him and said: "Uncle Naka, you are now issuing an order saying that anyone who is in Yan this time will Award 1 for achieving great merit in the Yangcheng Guard Battle. 0 million gold coins."
"Even so..."
Yang Yan raised his hand to interrupt him: "I will give a speech in person, Yanyang City cannot be breached, this can temporarily stabilize the morale of the army. . Also, immediately let the intelligence personnel find out where the Sun Dancers are currently, especially their leader. I want to know the specific location, and I need to mobilize all my manpower to find it quickly."
Naka was stunned: "City Lord, what are you going to do?"...
