Chapter 76 Forced to stay
Seeing him approaching, Elizabeth immediately complained in a low voice, "Didn't it be a good idea to let me do this kind of scene before the bard joins the team?"

Wang whispered in her ear: "It's okay, I just had a brilliant idea."

After speaking, he patted Elizabeth on the shoulder, and turned his gaze to the knight.

"We also have a message to Mr. Harvey. The duke has decided to relieve him of his position and let Miss Elizabeth take over the entire valley." The king took out the letter from the duke, because the letter was opened very carefully with a letter opener , as long as you take it carefully, you won't be able to see that the letter has been opened on the shore, "This is an order for him!"

The knights looked at each other again.

Wang: "What are you doing in a daze? Go back to Lakeside City immediately and bring Harvey here. Miss Elizabeth doesn't plan to get off the boat, and she will work on the boat from now on."

The knight is silent again
The king didn't talk nonsense, and started casting spells directly, and the mirror image technique was activated directly, and his real body was mixed into a phantom, and it was impossible to tell them apart.

Then he did the second thing: took out the glow stick.

The mirror image technique 100% reproduced his actions, and even projected the phantom of the dimensional bag and the glowing stick.

This one faucet's hair is already very bright, and even the seven sticks with the mirror image on the body are really not ordinary bright, even the early summer sun is eclipsed.

The knights on the river bank may have seen this scene, but their horses had not!Immediately, seven of the ten horses were shocked, and the knights on horseback were thrown to the ground without exception.

Then the blinded horse was still kicking wildly, injuring the three calmer horses.

A horse with a broken leg fell to the ground, and the knight on its back was thrown out, and fell into the river with a slam.

"Help! Help!" The armored knight had time to shout, and sank to the bottom.

Someone on the shore shouted: "My lord, this is shallow water, stand up!"

However, the knight was too busy hopping and drinking to hear him.

The only remaining rider was the captain with the hair on his helmet, and he loudly ordered the men on the shore: "Go and help him up!"

The civilian husband responded in fear: "My lord, he is waving his sword wildly, we dare not approach him!"

The captain drew out his sword: "Then think about whether my sword will hit you."

Seeing this, the king immediately ordered: "Scorching rays."

Elizabeth seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and without asking who to hit, she pointed at the knight captain who was threatening her own people with a sword, and the fiery rays hit his armor.

The captain of the knight fell off his horse in response, and the peasants by the river scattered like birds and beasts.

Wang held up the glowing stick and shouted: "Uncle of the Duchess of the Dale, Sir Stoke! Come out! Or I will turn into a dragon and destroy your family's only source of income!"

There was silence all around.

All the onlookers hid, and the soldiers watching the theater on the battlements of the checkpoint were all gone. Whether it was the battlements or the shooting windows, the faces of the Hegu soldiers could not be seen at all.

Wang: "Looks like he's not here, you guys go to a messenger immediately and ask Sir Stoke to come to the water gate immediately to see him...uh..."

The mage turned his head and asked Elizabeth in a low voice: "What should I call my niece's husband's sister?"

Elizabeth spread her hands: "Don't you just say that Duke Langdon's sister is finished?"

Wang: "I want to emphasize the in-law relationship between you. Forget it, it's better to settle for the next best thing."

After speaking, he raised his voice again: "Just say that the deputy sent by Duke Langdon is waiting for him at the port!"

His shout echoed in the narrow valley, forming a series of echoes.

Elizabeth: "What's next?"

"Wait, he will come."

"Shouldn't you explain to the silly white sweet sorceress what happened?" The princess smiled slightly.

Xiaobai: "The silly wolf doesn't understand either."

Wang: "It's like this. There should be no high-level arcane spellcasters in the valley leader. So they can't deal with dragons. Although it is possible to deal with dragons with things like siege crossbows, they are not so easy to hit. Killed by the dragon's breath. Dragons have good vision and will spot hidden siege crossbows immediately.

"So if they want to catch us, they can only do it by sneak attack, so they sent this group of knights to lie about finding signs of cats and dogs missing. When we rush to Riverside City, we will probably be attacked by surprise.

"I used the mirror image just now to prevent them from having a second plan: before I use the artifact to transform into a dragon, use a crossbow or a siege crossbow to kill me."

Elizabeth: "I understand. Did you ask me to attack their knight captain just now? That guy has a coat of arms, so he should be a baron."

Wang: "Your brother killed the old Duke of Hegu, you still care about it? But I think the captain is still alive, Xiaobai, are you sure you can carry him aboard the ship with his armor?"

Xiaobai: "I'll give it a try."

A moment later, the bald eagle struggled to carry the armored captain of the knight onto the boat.

His breastplate, scorched red from the scorching rays, had cooled to a dark red now, and the coat of arms that had been painted on it had been burned away.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh sticking to the inside of the armor.

Wang: "Treat him and stabilize his injuries."

The dwarf took out Kaelin's holy symbol and began to say a prayer.

After a burst of soft light, the comatose Baron woke up.

"Don't kill me!" he yelled.

Wang: "We will not kill a baron."

The baron shouted in disbelief: "I don't believe it! Your notoriety is known to everyone from the Thorn Islands to the Mountain Kingdom!"

Elizabeth smiled: "It seems that I can't pretend anymore. Now tell me everything you know! Otherwise, I will let the werewolf over there peel you off layer by layer and eat you bit by bit! "

Water stains spread from the baron's crotch, and the foul smell hit everyone's nostrils.

Baron: "I say, I say everything!"

Next, the baron described the cause and effect in detail.

Stoke, the uncle of the Duchess of the River Valley, originally had his own idea of ​​becoming a duke, and has been preparing for it.There were even rumors among the leaders of the River Valley that Stoke drugged the dead old duke so that he would not have a son.

In this way, he can take advantage of the male-first loophole in the succession law of the River Valley Territory, link up with the nobles who don't like a duchess, and find a way to raise the flag of rebellion.

Now Stoke feels that the time has come to publicize that the duchess and her fiancé joined forces to kill her father.This statement has been supported by many nobles who do not want a duchess to rule them. In addition, the duchess herself is not in the duchy, and now the entire River Valley Territory is de facto controlled by Stoke.

Although Sadiq Harvey, the deputy sent by the Duke of Langdon, also tried to contact those who opposed Stoke to form an offensive and defensive alliance, but he was placed under house arrest not long after he arrived, and the formation of an offensive and defensive alliance was postponed indefinitely.

When Wang heard this, he suddenly interrupted the baron: "Who is Sadiq Harvey going to find to form an offensive and defensive alliance?"

Baron: "The Earl of Ximu family, as well as the barons and earls around their fiefdom, they used to live a rich life by mining, but the cavemen changed everything. So they always want to accumulate strength, eliminate the cavemen, and regain them Everything. They don't like Stoke who's going to live his life on Watergate."

Elizabeth added on the side: "The river valley leaders have always been dissatisfied with our increase in tax rates, thinking that this has reduced shipping on the Enland River and reduced their tax revenue. Obviously they themselves are the biggest obstacle to shipping on the Enland River."

Wang: "Is there anything else besides these? I mean, against Sir Stoke."

Baron: "He has proclaimed himself a duke now, and he intends to arrest you because he intends to exchange you and Duke Langdon for the duke's family coat of arms flag held there."

Wang: "Okay, let me fix it. Besides Earl Brookwood, who else is against the Duke of Stoke?"

The baron shook his head: "Originally, the lords on the western plains opposed him, but you——Duke Langdon killed the old duke, and now the lords in the west also wear a pair of trousers with Stoke, because Stoke claimed that he wanted to pay for Landon. Take your vengeance."

Wang stroked his chin and thought for a few seconds before asking, "If Earl Ximu wants to encircle and suppress the cavemen, they should be very powerful, right?"

Baron: "Legend has it that they hired a team of dwarven miners who are specialists in dealing with troggs."

Flint patted his belly excitedly: "Dwarf miner! This earl knows the goods!"

Elizabeth asked the mage: "Why, do you really plan to solve the problem here?"

Wang: "No, I'm going to take down Watergate and move on to Monrovia. Just asking just out of curiosity."

The baron who peed his pants said: "Then you have to hurry up, I heard that the Duke of Stoke has a vicious thief, and he will definitely have a clever plan to keep you."

As soon as the voice fell into the direction of the water gate, there would be a deafening explosion!
Flint looked at the orange flames and exclaimed: "Caris Newman! This is definitely an alchemy explosive!"

Before the words were finished, the stone bridge where the water gate appealed suddenly collapsed, and huge stones piled up in front of the fallen water gate, sealing the narrow passage tightly.Of course, depending on the flow of the river, the water can still pass through.

The river water passing through the gap formed several eddies of different sizes in front of the closed water gate.

Elizabeth: "How did they have this?"

Wang: "They were originally a territory that relied on mining for their livelihood. What's so strange about alchemy and explosives for mining? This Stoker intends to trap us to negotiate terms with us!
"Captain, is it possible for us to tow the ship across the land?"

The captain replied: "It is possible. But you need to capture the entire Watergate Town first, and then hire thousands of young and middle-aged laborers. Personally, I think it is better to find someone to clear the stones blocking the Watergate, but this also requires the capture of Watergate Town. And build defenses."

Wang took a deep breath.

"Okay." He said, "We are now divided into two routes. The first route is our team. Let's go to Ximu Town to join forces. The second route is for the captain to lead the elite sailors to guard the Star Chaser. This is our team. base camp."

The captain patted his chest: "Leave it to us."

Elizabeth grabbed the king's hand and asked, "Why didn't the dragon attack Lakeside City? Couldn't this force him to submit?"

Wang replied solemnly: "I only have one hour a day to transform into a dragon, and I have to wait for 23 hours to recharge the staff after transforming. The enemy only needs to hide in the depths of the fortress where the dragon cannot directly kill them, and escape this hour.

"Once this hour is used up, the remaining 23 hours will be overwhelming. The enemy knows that we only have three-ring mages and priests, and there are only so many spells in total.

"If the dragon can run immediately after taking down the water gate, then of course there is no need to worry. Now we may have to overthrow this self-appointed duke before we can move forward.

"In this case, I can't easily change into a dragon. As long as I remain the same, the enemy will always be afraid, and they can only come here.

"Correspondingly, there is no way for us to forcibly break into Stoke's lair by changing the dragon. In the case of changing the dragon, it will be too difficult for our team to deal with the remaining troops of the River Valley with the strength of the dragon.

"There should be no high-level spellcasters in the River Valley Territory, but there should be quite a few second- and third-ring arcane spellcasters like me! There are probably more divine spellcasters. After all, not all the local priests participated in the battle against Lanzhou that night." Deng's expedition.

"We need to find allies."

Elizabeth: "I see, let's go to Earl Ximu."

Wang stood up: "Get your horse ready to go."
