Chapter 58 The Price of Knowledge

When Wang walked through the inner corridor, everyone looked at him in surprise.

The main reason is that when ordinary people walk with the Duke's sister, they either follow her, and at worst they are parallel.

The mage can ignore this and go straight ahead.

Although he had only been to the inner city a few times, he was already familiar with the structure of the castle, and he knew the way to the command room.

It was fine for him to go ahead, but he was still walking so fast that Elizabeth could only desperately follow behind.

Elizabeth is wearing a daily dress today, and the daily dress is also a dress, and it is not easy to walk.

In this way, it appears that the king is the one with high status, and Elizabeth is his maid.

The key point is that Elizabeth is still dressed very beautifully today, which makes people even more curious about the relationship between the two.At noon today, there will probably be all kinds of rumors flying all over the sky. Yesterday, the king made great achievements again, right?

Wang didn't care about this at all, and went straight to the command room. When he reached the door, he rushed in without waiting for the soldiers guarding the door to fully push the door open.

When he entered, Kassander was reporting the situation: "The Amur mercenary group outside the city ransacked several villages and manors near the city, and occupied these houses as camps. They were scattered in these manors and villages, If they were infantry I would suggest going out of town to surprise them."

Bruce: "But they are all cavalry, so they can quickly support each other."

After speaking, Bruce looked at Wang and Elizabeth who entered the room: "Last night's hero is here. Wait a minute, is there one missing?"

Wang: "Yes. Xiaobai was being held down by Ms. Mei Li and was changing clothes."

Bruce glanced at the other barons and viscounts with a smile: "No one here can defy Mrs. Mei Li. Even if we are all grown up, she can still spank all of us!"

The jazz responded politely to the duke's joke.

Wang didn't laugh, but went straight to the point: "Yesterday in Tang's office of the Wanderer Guild, we were attacked by the Wanderer Guild and Irwin. Two of the Lord Duke's subordinates died. I brought back their bodies and relics." .Is it taken out here?"

The Duke took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Leave it to Merlin later, and he will handle the aftermath properly."

Wang nodded, walked straight to the large sand table in the command room, and carefully observed the war chess on it.

"Is this the emperor's own team?" He pointed to several soldiers chess pieces near the border and said.

"Yes, mainly conscripts, the emperor's personal guards are also there, and there are also mercenaries. The total number is more than we expected, about 7000 people." Wayne Langdon explained as the military chief.

Wang: "Then here are the cavalrymen who attacked and harassed yesterday?"

"Yes. The total is five thousand, of which three thousand are light cavalry who are good at salvo, and two thousand are mounted infantry."

Wang touched his chin: "Can I understand that the emperor only has 2000 or [-] people? Where are the enemies who came down from the ground yesterday?"

"We recovered a total of 500 armored corpses this morning, and captured about [-] people." Wayne looked embarrassed, "Because we also suffered a lot of casualties, so we only provided these people with herbs and bandages. So far Quite a few people have already had a fever, and the nuns of the monastery are taking care of them."

Wang: "So about 1000 people escaped? All from underground?"

Bruce took his brother's words and replied: "We are launching a city-wide search to let everyone recognize each other's faces. As for the part escaping from the underground, you should know better than us how dangerous the underground is."

Wang snapped his fingers: "So the emperor's elite standing army has been reimbursed, right? How many spellcasters in the enemy army were killed?"

Wayne took up the conversation again: "The heavy soldiers who attacked the city yesterday mainly did massacres and robberies, neither paladins nor priests of good gods would join in such acts.

"The River Valley Army has priests and paladins. We captured a lot of holy emblems, but because the battlefield was too chaotic last night, we couldn't confirm the corpses of the death spellcasters. The arcane spellcasters were sure to kill 24 of them. Some are second-ring and third-ring spellcasters."

Arcane spellcasters generally don't wear armor, they are robes, and they are generally thin and relatively easy to identify.

Wayne stopped, and the Duke said, "The highest-ranking arcane spellcaster killed yesterday, we have confirmed his identity. He is the court archmage Morgan of the Valley Territory."

Wang interrupted Wayne: "The archmage is dead? According to the druid, she seriously injured the archmage. If there is a priest, she should be able to save her."

Wayne nodded: "Yes, according to the testimony of the captives, the archmage was indeed only seriously injured, but after the priests used healing spells, he immediately developed a fever, probably infected with some kind of disease, and the priests did it for short-term decisive battles. Preparation, no preparation removes disease.

"Then before they could move the Archmage to the boat for medical treatment, the Lord of the River Valley was beheaded, the whole army was in chaos, and the formation collapsed. In the chaos, the Archmage was trampled to death.

"Many captives can prove that the one who killed the enemy general and the archmage was the same druid, and she carried a huge ham. We think it was the werewolf druid who came back with you.

"So last night she tied for first place with you."

Wang frowned: "Is it right to reward merits now? Isn't it appropriate? The emperor still has more than 2 people who have not been wiped out."

Bruce: "The emperor has already lost. Yesterday's offensive was when he had the best chance, but we survived. And because we fought in our homeland, the priests pulled most of the wounded back from the death line.

"Although the emperor still has an advantage in military strength, the quality has declined greatly. Most of his knights and retinues died in the surprise attack last night. Now he can't do anything against Langdon City with this strength. Etc. With our armies assembled, the emperor is finished.

"Didn't you see the carrier pigeons that took off against the morning sun this morning? When the carrier pigeons reach our allies, they will raise their troops. These people will never come to rescue you when you are in danger, but when you show your victory, They come so fast."

Wang was about to speak when suddenly his left eyelid started to twitch.

"Well," he said, "maybe this time the crisis is really over."

Bruce came to the sand table, took the pointer from his brother, tapped the city of Langdon on the sand table and said: "The emperor may still want to give it a try, even though his archmage is dead, and the archmage of the valley leader who was finally persuaded will also die." He is dead, but there should be some mage apprentices around him.

"His priests and paladins did not participate in the sneak attack last night, so their strength should be relatively intact. If the priests are equipped with fireball scrolls, they can also play a role in the siege. Even if they are poor Steyr collar, 400 gold coins a piece of fireball scroll is also affordable."

Wang: "Yesterday Mishasara reported that the enemy is equipped with crossbows made by dwarves. It seems that Steyrland is not as poor as you think."

Bruce: "According to the latest information, His Majesty may have cut the vassals in his own territory. He ignored the opposition of the noble council and adopted the law of equal share inheritance. The barons' territories became smaller and smaller, and then they were broken by the emperor one by one. Yes. The territory he directly controls now is beyond imagination.

"Because of this, he was able to support the huge expenses of the Southwest War. But now, it's all over. He can't beat us, can't take our treasure, and he will go bankrupt. During the spring plowing period, he will recruit troops for a long time, and in the autumn The harvest will be poor, and he has no money to help the victims.

"So he had to, he had to go all in on it."

Wayne added: "Before the troops of our allies arrive."

Wang: "In other words, these two days will be the decisive battle?"

Wayne: "Based on the speed of the enemy's movement, we can see the enemy on the city wall tomorrow night. I guess the emperor will let Amur's light cavalry harass our army that is gathering at Langdon's collar. The baron's army that is far away is fine. Yes, they are all in armor.

"Conscripts basically have nothing to do in the face of this kind of harassment, and we must be mentally prepared for the conscripts to be dispersed."

Wang put his hands on his chest and put his chin on his chest: "It's not very effective to change into a dragon to attack these light cavalry. If they spread out, the dragon's breath will not spray a few people."

"About this." Langdon's archmage raised his old hand, "May I take a look at the content of the dragon form in your Infinity Book? I only read the dragon form, in order to cope with the current situation!"

Wang: "Yes, yes, but because even if it is a dragon shape with seven rings, there are still seven pages. I need to turn it to you. Once my hands leave the book, the text on the page will disappear immediately, and the book will also close.

"Besides, you are also a mage. To know the transformation magic, in addition to knowledge about spells, you also need to be familiar with the things to be changed. Do you have knowledge about dragons?"

The archmage closed his eyes and sighed: "No. But after this matter is completed, can you please transcribe the dragon shape into a scroll for me?"

Wang: "I can't make a seven-ring scroll by myself. I'm just a three-ring spellcaster.

"However, I can slowly turn it over to you so that you can copy it into your spell book.

"But knowledge itself has value. What are you going to exchange for it? The knowledge you have collected over the years is meaningless to me. I won't be able to use the precious spell-casting materials for the time being. As for gold coins, I think His Excellency the Duke will I have been rewarded a lot. What price can you offer in exchange?"

The archmage looked troubled.

The Duke said, "I will pay the price for him, using the scroll of resurrection that my father couldn't use."

Wang nodded: "deal. That's great. Irwin's body is in my dimensional bag. We can resurrect him and torture him after getting the scroll. But I guess he won't say it because the mastermind behind the scenes Maybe some kind of restraining contract was adopted to keep him from speaking. But it's always good to try!"

Duke: "Wait a minute! You mean, Erwin, the man behind the scenes, isn't the one who started everything?"

Wang was a little taken aback. He remembered that he had reported this matter yesterday.But he understood immediately that the Duke was doing it for other people to see.The new duke seemed to be acting all the time.

So he nodded: "Yes. So our journey will continue."

Bruce shrugged: "Well, when the scroll is in your hands, you are free to use it however you want. However, all of this has to wait until the dust of the war settles. After all, I still need this resurrection scroll in my pocket."

Wang: "Reasonable."
