Chapter 155 Negotiations started in secret!


Chapter 155 Negotiations started in secret!

Because they really couldn’t think of any good solution, everyone finally decided to “act in a show”.

The frontal army symbolically attacks a city.

Secretly Anthony approached the Lord of Liuyue City to negotiate.

If the plan goes smoothly, the Sixth Infantry Regiment will eventually have no choice but to retreat because "attacking Liuyue City is contrary to the strategic purpose."

And in order for everyone to recognize this thing.

Early the next morning, rumors spread in the 6th Infantry Regiment camp that Brand was over-exhausted from the spell he cast yesterday and would no longer be able to use spells for the next week.

Although no senior legion member came forward to explain whether this matter was true or not.

But when they saw Brand being supported by Catherine and walking out of the tent with a pale face, the soldiers already had a clear answer in their hearts!

——Although I am not sure whether this so-called "consumption" is consumed by "releasing spells"! But this look does look like it needs a few days of rest!

Because Brand fell, the battle plan with Brand as the core could not continue to be implemented.

The Sixth Infantry Regiment returned to its original combat marching method.

Without the magic support of Brand, the "Arch Mage of the Legion", the soldiers were obviously much more cautious in their actions.

After all, without Brand, if there were another bandit raid on the scale of yesterday, they would have no confidence that they would be able to repel the bandits with minimal damage.

After seeing the changes in their soldiers, the captains and Anthony all nodded with satisfaction.

There is no doubt that their goal has been achieved!

Then, after lunch, Anthony ordered the army to continue marching towards Liuyue City.

The soldiers began to move forward with heavy hearts.

Towards evening, the Sixth Infantry Regiment arrived outside Liuyue City.

Liuyue City is built on a high place and is surrounded by slightly downward-sloping stone slopes

After looking at the thick walls, neat bricks and stones of Liuyue City in the distance, and the towering tower slightly protruding in the center of the city, the soldiers felt even heavier.

Compared with Liuyue City, the previous free cities could only be called "walled cities" at most.

First of all, the city walls are not level. The walls of the previous free cities were less than half a meter thick, while the walls of Liuyue City were more than five meters thick at a glance.

——This is called a city wall!

In addition, although most of the buildings in the city are blocked by the city wall, the soldiers can tell what they are at a glance with the tall towers in the center of the city!

That is exclusive to the nobles of Farnes Continent!

——Castle Tower!

Seeing such luxurious facilities in Liuyuecheng, not only the soldiers felt heavy, but Anthony and several legion commanders were also a little confused.

Although it is true that the prisoners said that the defense of Liuyue City is much higher than that of other free cities, they are not on the same level!

But is this a bit too exaggerated?

Is this really the lair of bandits?

Did they go to a noble’s hometown?

After being shocked for a while, the well-informed Anthony discovered some clues.

Although the city wall of Liuyue City looks very impressive, its material seems to be just the most common rock material!

This discovery gave him a great relief.

If it's just a rock made of ordinary material, it's just a fake.

This kind of city wall that can be destroyed by any formal knight in a short time cannot be called a qualified city wall at all!

But this is actually not very important.

The main purpose of their coming here is to negotiate with the city lord of Liuyue City, not to actually attack the city!

After various thoughts flashed through his mind, Anthony warned the commander next to him:

"According to the plan, I will go to the Lord of Liuyue City first."

After saying this, Anthony directly activated the secret skill of the legion.

Then, he ran towards the gate of Liuyue City.

When he was about to reach the city gate, as expected, the Lord of Liuyue City jumped off the city wall and stopped him.

At this time, the Lord of Liuyue City was still wearing silver-white scales, a white beard and a white robe.

Perhaps Liuyuecheng behind him gave him the confidence to stop Anthony. He smiled and said calmly:

"Yesterday you said we should talk. I came back and thought about it, and we can indeed talk!"

Listen to Liuyue The city lord is so "interesting".

Anthony also smiled:

"If you think so, that's the best thing. Let's go a little further first?"

The Lord of Liuyue City smiled and said: "Okay!"

After such a "friendly conversation" , the two of them flashed and quickly moved away.

Then the ground shook slightly.

It can be seen that they are probably fighting!

According to the original plan, they would not launch a "siege war" until Anthony and the city lord of Liuyue City completed their negotiations.

But what surprised them was that after Anthony and the Lord of Liuyue City left.

The gate of Liuyue City suddenly opened wide.

A steady stream of cavalry teams armed with broadswords and long bows rushed out of the city.

After approaching their position, a dense rain of arrows was thrown.

Seeing this, the commander quickly ordered: "Defensive formation!"

The soldiers neatly raised their shields and protected them above their heads.

This kind of ordinary arrow rain cannot cause much damage to soldiers wearing full armor.

The other party must be aware of this, so the purpose of doing this is self-evident.

——Provocation!

At this moment, the captains wanted to order the attackers to attack the city in return, but in the end they held back.

Leaving aside the issue of negotiations with the city lord of Liuyue City, this time is not a good time to attack the city.

If we really start to attack the city now, it is estimated that the sun will set in the middle of the battle.

So now let’s provoke. Just think of it as training soldiers’ ability to use shields to resist arrows.

After all, during the Northern Expedition in the future, the orcs’ arrow rain will not be so light!

On the other side, he looked at the rain of arrows flying in the distance.

After Anthony avoided the attack of the Lord of Liuyue City and distanced himself, he frowned and said:

“You don’t have the attitude of negotiating!”

Hearing this , the Lord of Liuyue City was surprised for a moment.

After taking a careful look at Anthony, he found that Anthony looked serious and had no intention of joking, so he was no longer in a hurry to attack.

After putting down the big sword he raised in his hand, the Lord of Liuyue City said to Anthony:

"Since you really want to talk, let's talk."

Listen to Liuyue When the Lord of the City said this, Anthony was speechless.

——Is this guy just talking about feelings when he said he wanted to negotiate before?

——No wonder I couldn’t wait to start fighting as soon as I came here!

But I was speechless, and the plan could finally go ahead.

Next, Anthony gave the city lord of Liuyue City a detailed explanation of their strategic goal of recruiting soldiers in the chaotic zone.

After talking about the strategic goals, he made a proposal to sign a secret contract:

The Sixth Infantry Regiment will not attack Liuyue City again, but at the same time, the Lord of Liuyue City cannot interfere. They recruit soldiers from other places, or find ways to get enough soldiers for them.

After hearing Anthony’s proposal, the Lord of Liuyue City frowned and said, “Aren’t you here to suppress bandits?”
