Zongman: I can do whatever I want after gaining the ability of hypnosis

So I guess we'll have to wait a long time, the meaning of this is self-evident.

"There's nothing we can do. We can only... ask for help..." Lulu looked around at the faces of the people at the conference table and said dejectedly, "Send someone to ask for help..."

……

……

Ostia Legion - Because Jianguo couldn't think of a good name, he directly named it after the name of the continent. This is the legion controlled by Si Yu.

Inside the tent of the commander-in-chief of the Ostia Legion.

"I see... Gu... This is your plan..."

The dark elf queen Olga drank the nutritious drink, stood up and sighed softly, which was considered as her approval of Si Yu's plan.

"Hahaha, this is a magic potion that our witch has personally tested. It can make people dehydrated and extremely hungry in just one day."

Si Yu was happily playing with a small purple bottle. He looked at Kaguya on the side, and after she lowered her head in fear, he burst into laughter.

"But it's not over yet..."

Under Kaguya's relieved gaze, Si Yu threw the small bottle aside, put on his clothes, walked out of the tent, and looked towards the east where the sun was already far away.

"I hope Alicia and the others won't let me down..."

"There's not much time left in a month..."

Chapter 017: Claudia, the Wife Leader of the Paladins

The half-dwarves of the Fifth Fortress successfully sent out a letter for help.

The goal requested in the letter is:

The glorious and noble leader of the Paladin Order, leader of the Knights of the Dawn, a royal guard division directly under the church.

He is responsible for guarding the elven goddess Celestine and the Sixth Fortress and the Seventh Fortress.

She has the strictness and seriousness of a knight and the tolerance of an adult woman.

In daily life, she is a very calm and chaste wife who loves her husband, a civil servant, but in battle she can exert power like a ghost or god.

—Claudia Rebontein.

Claudia

Claudia (face)

The attributes are wife and knight, and in the original work all functions are performed in full accordance with the attributes.

However, in this system-enhanced copy world, the evaluation of "combat power like a ghost or god", which should have been the most useless, has become the thing that Si Yu cares about the most.

Judging from the fact that Alicia could effortlessly cut across the roof of the Black City's high tower hall and kick it away to an unknown distance.

Although the people in this world do not seem to possess any gorgeous or powerful powers, their actual fighting ability is much stronger than it appears.

Even stronger than people in most worlds, they just don't look as gorgeous.

Therefore, although he didn't know Claudia's specific strength and who was stronger between her and Lulu, the half-dwarf, Si Yu still chose to act cautiously.

Well, that loli half-dwarf chief, Lulu, who was annoyed by Si Yu like a child and had diarrhea for a whole day, is actually an equally powerful warrior.

But now she was unable to exert her fighting ability because of Si Yu, and could only be used as bait for fishing... no, for making a fishing nest.

"Report, Commander, the third reinforcement of the Sixth Fortress... was also completely wiped out. The enemy's reaction was very fierce. The gaps we opened were always quickly filled. We were unable to carry out rescue or supply."

In the castle of the Sixth Fortress.

The adjutant beside Claudia walked into the room and reported with a somewhat grim expression.

In order to take the enemy by surprise, the Sixth Fortress provided support very quickly and arrived at the Fifth Fortress on the same day the letter for help arrived.

However, within two days, three reinforcements were sent out in succession, but all of them were annihilated.

Although no one knows what this married woman knight leader is thinking, this meaningless act of seeking death has already made many of her knights depressed and dissatisfied.

Everyone could see that the enemy was surrounding the point and attacking the reinforcements.

"There is also a letter of surrender sent by the enemy." The adjutant took out another letter and handed it to Claudia with gritted teeth.

[——The Ostia Empire is about to be established. Give up resistance, kneel down and offer me the purity of your goddess Celestine, and swear to become subjects of Ostia. This will also reduce unnecessary casualties and reduce the number of families separated by husband and wife due to war.

Knight Commander Claudia, I am at the Fifth Fortress, waiting for your good news. 】

"..."

Claudia looked at the so-called letter of surrender in her hand, her knuckles turned white and her body trembled slightly. She also understood that this was not a solution, as those who died were all her soldiers.

Of course it would be better if we could avoid fighting. We could just kneel down and beg for mercy, and then offer the goddess Celestine to us, and we could prevent more people from dying in the war.

Can……

“I understand that in this situation, the best option is to delay and wear down the enemy… but my companions in the Fifth Fortress may not be able to wait until that time,” Claudia said.

"Captain...you mean..."

“Prepare the troops and follow me!” Claudia crumpled up the letter of surrender and threw it away, saying, “I will go there myself and create a gap in the enemy’s defenses at the Fifth Fortress!”

Surrendering and selling out to save one's life are never what a knight should do! Defeating the enemy is what a knight should do!!

“But, Captain…” The adjutant did not show much joy when she heard this. Although she had confidence in Claudia, the news of the three complete defeats of the army had already left her with psychological trauma.

"Don't worry. While I'm away, the defense of the Sixth and Seventh Fortresses will be handed over to my adoptive father (equivalent to father-in-law, that is, my husband's father) General Graf!"

Claudia calmly waved her hand, interrupting the intelligence officer.

"There's no need to talk about the Fifth Fortress anymore. The situation is urgent! We set off immediately!"

Claudia, the leader of the married women group, still doesn't know what kind of person her godfather is.

He would easily betray his country with such ridiculous reasons as "So that Claudia can give birth to a child for me! To continue the excellent bloodline of the Rebontaiying family!" - If Claudia knew about this, she would definitely not say such a thing as letting Graf guard the fortress.

However, there is no if...

When the leader of the Paladins of the Sixth Fortress led his troops to the Fifth Fortress for a breakthrough.

The exploration team that originally belonged to the Fourth Fortress, which lost half of its members but obtained key intelligence, was dispersed and stayed in various fortresses to pass on information after the Fourth Fortress was breached.

One of them had already approached Graf, who was already bald and had gray hair.

And there were many secret meetings, and no one knew what was said.

“It’s actually just as that person predicted, Claudia. You’ll be mine soon…hahahahahaha…”

After receiving the news of Claudia's appointment, Graf's face was filled with a ferocious smile.

……

That night.

The west gate of the Sixth Fortress was wide open.

A large group of soldiers wearing night armor marched into the city from the darkness.

Standing at the city gate, the muscular old man let the group of people enter the city. When he saw the person leading the team, he narrowed his eyes again.

"It seems that the rumors are true, Princess Alicia, you really rebelled..." Graf said, looking at the blond figure in the crowd.

"Graff, same here." Alicia had no intention of explaining to him. Graff had things he wanted, and Alicia had things she wanted to protect.

Of course, there are other factors involved...

"Then please..." Graf didn't care. He was not worried that Alicia would lie to him. It was just because he had absolute confidence in his own strength.

Alicia chuckled and followed the team away.

She used to be like Graf, with absolute confidence in her own abilities.

Even the dark elf who followed behind her and monitored her, she was absolutely confident in her loyalty.

So what?

Alicia walked in the city, looking at the moon in the sky with deep emotion.

The hundreds of years of confrontation between the two factions have led to the establishment of a new order.

"Hurry up, let's go deal with those army leaders." Chloe interrupted Alicia's thoughts and said, "We'll need that old man next. We need to prepare a big gift for you, sir."

"...Yes." Alicia collected her thoughts and tightened her grip on the sword.

I want to swing my sword and kill my former compatriots.

Not for anyone else, even for Prim...

I can only do...

——The Sixth Fortress is destined to be silent tonight.

Chapter 018: The Eve of the Collapse of the Half-Dwarves

at night.

Outside the Fifth Fortress, the people of the Ostia Legion sang and danced, eating meat and drinking wine.

Inside the city, the dwarves, who had already eaten up all the remaining edible water and food in their homes, fell to the ground one by one, smelling the aroma of barbecue that the magicians outside the city had blown over with wind magic.

They were very greedy, but so thirsty that they couldn't even drool.

"I'm so hungry and thirsty... Chief, am I... going to die..."

The blue dwarf curled up on the ground, his originally fair cheeks turned pale and thin, he held his stomach with both hands, and was already somewhat unconscious.

She is one of the people in the worst situation. There is nothing left at home. She has not eaten or drunk a drop of water since she took the laxative, and she has been suffering until now.

"Don't be so discouraging. Reinforcements will be here soon to give us supplies. Just hold on a little longer."

Drill Loli Lulu's situation was similar to that of the blue dwarf at this time, but she still sat on the ground leaning against the wall, trying hard to pretend that nothing was wrong.

Although the three waves of reinforcements were destroyed, it was already known to everyone.

"Dwarves inside! Our king said that those who surrender will be treated preferentially! You don't need to open the city gates or sell out the country! We only represent you as individuals! As long as you are willing to come! You can eat and drink as much water as you want! Come anytime! You are always welcome!"

Someone outside the city started shouting using loudspeaker magic.

They gathered outside the city to eat and shout, and this had been going on since they started asking for help. However, at the beginning no one in the city cared about it, and some even attacked them.

No one went out, and they were convinced that no one would go out.

But now...

"I'm so hungry... I want to eat..."

"I'm so thirsty..."

"Gulu..."

"Ah...ah..."

Their originally resolute hearts had long been destroyed by hunger and thirst. In order to reduce consumption and defend the city, the soldiers who had never left the city walls were the ones who suffered the most.

Their inner convictions had long since dissipated, and at this point, they wouldn't find it strange if anyone walked out of the city...

There just needs to be one person to take the lead.

At least, there should be someone who takes the lead in trial and error.

"Who is that……"

Suddenly, the dwarf on the city wall, who was barely keeping an eye on the enemy, pointed outside the city and asked weakly.

"what?"

Some people responded casually, but others followed the direction she pointed and looked outside the city gate.

There was a short figure wearing a gray cloak, sneaking around and using the huge rocks under the city to hide his figure.

Slowly and persistently, he walked towards the Ostia military camp...or rather the barbecue bonfire.

“Someone went out…!”

"No! I can't see the face...it must be the enemy's disguise!"

Lulu stood up immediately, but stumbled and almost fell. She hurried to the city wall, clinging to it and shouting.

Disguise? Right? Everyone knows that it could be a disguise by the enemy...
