Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

"Retreat to the castle, quickly!" Nicholas shouted.

A group of soldiers fled into the city in embarrassment, and then the castle gate crashed down.Standing in the castle hall, Nicholas still couldn't figure it out: First, why was Leoric chasing after [-] defenders?Second, where did the Blackwater Knights go?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, when a bloody messenger came from outside, he almost cried and said: "Your Excellency, there are two bad news, the first is Li Aurik is approaching the city, and our men can't stop him!"

"Trash!" Nicholas scolded, "What about the second one?"

The messenger trembled and said, "Leoric's reinforcements are here! The Northern Expeditionary Army has overwhelmed the border and surrounded the entire city of bachelors! Shia Leikui entered from the west wall with two armies of silver shields and bronze hands and fought with Leo Rick's army merged; Growen's iron cavalry raided the east wall; Steer's God's Blessed Warriors attacked the south wall; Odro's warriors attacked the north wall! There are also a large number of elf cavalry quickly occupying the streets, interspersed In addition, Leoric used animal language to instigate our pterosaur troops, and now the pterosaurs and crow soldiers have formed an alliance and started to attack the defenders on other walls! They should cooperate in each of our walls , three generals died in battle, one surrendered, and the garrison regiments in the four major cities were defeated..."

"Enough!" Nicholas interrupted the soldier's report.Nicholas saw that the expressions of the soldiers in the hall were not right. If this guy was allowed to continue talking, the soldiers around him might mutiny and take Nicholas' head to ask Leoric to surrender.

It doesn't make any sense to listen to it anymore, Nicholas said: "You stay here and watch, I will go to the ancestor god!"

Now only the ancestor god can turn the tide!No matter how strong Leoric is, he is human after all, and human beings cannot compare with gods.

Nicholas walked quickly through the secret passage of the castle, even trotting all the way with his trousers in his hands, to the door of the abandoned church.He rushed into the church, pushed away the barriers, and knocked on the mechanism vigorously. Before the door opened, he shouted: "Ancestor God, ancestor god, are you there, ancestor god!"

"The ancestor god is resting."

A low male voice came from the side.Nicholas looked over there, and saw a two-headed man in a black robe coming out of the shadows.Nicholas has seen all kinds of family members, so he is not surprised by these two-headed guys. He said, "I want to see the ancestor god."

"The Patriarch is resting," he said. "Nicholas, your battle is outside."

Nicholas said loudly: "I said I want to see the ancestor god! Don't waste my time, you two-headed monster!"

The man said loudly: "The ancestor god ordered you to go outside to resist Leoric! Now is the critical moment for the ancestor god to break through the seal, don't disturb him." I saw that the two-headed monster was covered with black smoke, and the surrounding air followed suit. Seeing this posture, Nicholas had no choice but to retreat, and said, "But Leoric has already rushed in, and my men can't last long—tell me, where is the Blackwater Knights? Where's their support?"

The two-headed man was silent for a while and said, "No comment!"

"You cursed monster!" Nicholas cursed, and strode in. He wanted to meet the ancestor god and ask where the reinforcements sent by that guy were.However, the second head of the two-headed man suddenly opened its mouth—it was a very deformed head, without eyes and nose, only a mouth that occupied most of the head.A roar came out of this mouth, "Woo!" A shock wave visible to the naked eye followed, and Nicholas was dizzy from the shock, and staggered to the ground.At this time, the two-headed man warned him: "This is just a kind reminder, next time I will kill you."

Nicholas got up from the ground, dusted off the dirt on his body, and said in the cultivated tone of the past: "Okay, I understand, please forgive my rude behavior just now."

"The ancestor god will not be offended." The two-headed man said, and retreated into the darkness.

Nicholas turned to leave, his reserved scholarly face contorted as soon as he was out the door.

All of them are unreliable guys!

He walked briskly down the corridors of the castle, his mind in turmoil.The shouts and killings outside the castle were deafening, as well as the sound of weapons colliding and arrows whistling. The window was right next to it, but Nicholas didn't dare to look at it.At this time, there was a loud noise from the wall, and the floor of the castle shook. It turned out that the catapults of the Northern Expeditionary Army bombarded the castle.Nicholas couldn't help thinking: so fast?Leoric already brought in the catapult?

Then a soldier ran towards him and said, "My lord, Leoric's vanguard is approaching the city! The defenders of the walls and blocks are retreating, and soon the castle will be besieged on all sides! Their catapults are attacking The sentry tower, the northeast sentry tower has been destroyed just now, we lost an important eye... Lord Duke, are you listening? Lord Duke! Duke!"

Nicholas felt dizzy as if he drank three catties of spirits. The shouts of soldiers, the shouts of killing outside the city, the bombardment of catapults, and his own heartbeat were mixed together, chaos, distortion, Distortion, the sound can be transmitted to the mind, but the brain cannot interpret the information of these sounds, it feels like reading a book from another world.

Under great fear, anger and confusion, Grand Maester Nicholas lost his mind and ability to think.He just said instinctively: "Keep fighting, keep fighting! I still have a way."

"You really have a way?"

"I have a solution!" Nicholas roared like a wounded beast, then he grabbed the soldier's collar with his skinny fingers and shouted loudly: "What? You don't believe me? A mere muddy leg can Do you dare to question what I said?"

"I dare not!" The soldier shook his head, but immediately threw off Nicholas' hand rudely. Nicholas saw anger and fear in his eyes.The soldier went on to say, "Okay, then I'll tell the others."

"Get out!" he yelled.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The soldier turned and left without saluting, but Nicholas didn't care about etiquette at this time.

They're all trash!A voice growled in his head.Damn it, I shouldn't count on any ancestor gods!I shouldn't have trusted anyone!I shouldn't believe anyone, because in this world, nothing but idiots are liars!

Only I can be trusted.

Only myself……

Nicholas was very intelligent and precocious since he was a child. He had the mind of an adult when he was seven or eight years old. Therefore, for him, the people around him were always stupid than him, which made him self-willed and only believed in his own judgment. .This kind of personality has both disadvantages and advantages. At least, the current Nicholas can still pick up his broken self-confidence and try to solve this dilemma with the wisdom he relies on to survive.

He ignored the surrounding sounds, the screams outside and the bombardment of the catapult. He leaned on the wall and walked in the rickety castle. In the bachelor's tower.He sat back in his seat, locked the door, and used all his energy to think about this question - how can I turn the situation around now?

Nicholas wrote and drew on the straw paper, trying to find some inspiration, but after drawing for 5 minutes, he suddenly realized that he was just scribbling, a piece of paper was full of drawings, but he didn't even spell a correct word.

"No!" He tore up the papyrus indiscriminately, threw all the books aside, howled like a lunatic, and acted like a shrew.At this moment, the back of his hand hurt, and when he raised his hand, it seemed that something had scratched it.He looked towards that place, and saw a protruding iron nail on the desk, which was still stained with his blood.

Bloody nails?

nail?

Yes, nails!

Nicholas had a flash of inspiration.

"Yes, I still have a hope!"

"A last hope!"

Nicholas jumped up against the crime, and then rushed out of the Bachelor's Tower like crazy.He turned back every two steps, took a bunch of rusty keys from the wall, and then went out again.

That is the key to the underground prison.

General Akkad was imprisoned there.

……

Leoric rode Mortread slowly through the streets of Bachelor City.

The fight continued, but there was nothing worth fighting for.The most fortified west gate of the Bachelor City has been broken, and good news has come from the east gate of the north gate - the Northern Expedition Army flag has been planted on the north wall, the enemy troops at the east gate have fled, and Growen is chasing them; There were many enemies on the side, and they couldn't kill them all at once, so Leoric sent Romila's elf cavalry to support them.

Now the last enemies are all retreating to the castle. Although the castle has thick walls, tall towers and moats, the soldiers inside have lost their morale and hearts. No matter how strong the castle is, it is just a stone coffin.The Northern Expeditionary Army has already occupied the street, so Leoric asked Philip to bring in the siege equipment, and just blast it slowly outside. After a while, he will let the Crow King and the pterosaurs go to the sky above the castle to sweep twice, and then let Shia shout Call out, it is estimated that the defenders inside will surrender.

At this time, Leoric and Shia were riding horses, walking side by side on the central avenue of Bachelor City.At this time, all the enemy troops in the middle of the road had been cleared away, only sporadic fighting remained in the alley, and the two exchanged information as they walked.

Earlier, Leoric was busy attacking the city wall and didn't have the energy to take care of the situation in the rear. At this time, Shia told him the matter. After hearing this, Lao Li was greatly moved and said, "I'm proud of you, Shia."

After learning the battle report from the rear, Leoric was both scared and relieved.I'm afraid it's because the enemy's combat power this time exceeded their initial estimates, and Chaos Porridge didn't take down these guys!And they also brought out a giant to make such a big battle.Let alone Leoric's absence, even if Leoric was present in person, it might not be easy to win.

It is gratifying that the soldiers of the Northern Expedition can finally be alone.During the previous wars, Leoric had always been the supermodel in combat power alone, supporting the entire Northern Expeditionary Army. The combat effectiveness of the original Northern Expeditionary Army veterans was a bit behind the pace of the version, and even in some respects they were not as good as those who joined later. Elves and murlocs.Unexpectedly, everyone fought such a beautiful battle of annihilation this time.Seeing that the Northern Expeditionary Army became more and more capable of fighting, Leoric felt like an old father who said "my baby has finally grown up".

Well, it turns out that actual combat is the best teacher, and the army will become stronger as it fights—of course, the premise is not to be killed.

The fight against the insurgency is drawing to a close.Leoric was mentally thinking about how to reward everyone—this time Shia and Growin have made great contributions, so they should be promoted and get rich.

The last few times when I was away, Shia was in command of the battle.This girl has also been tempered, and she is the second in command of the Northern Expedition!In the future, she can be promoted to general, named "General of the Northern Expedition", and let her personally lead a thousand blue-robed light cavalry, plus the two armies of bronze hands and silver shields from the Lei Kui family, a total of 6000 people, all of which will be handed over to her for direct management .

The iron cavalry regiment has achieved a lot of battles recently, and Growin seems to be able to command a thousand people with ease. It is better to expand the iron cavalry regiment into a reinforced regiment of three thousand cavalry, and then make him an "iron cavalry general". third place.In the future, this heavy armored cavalry regiment will be the signature of our Northern Expedition Army, it is a bulldozer, it is a tank!Go back and train according to the knowledge of "Knights", and when you come back, you will meet those invincible barbarian cavalry to see whether his sword is faster or my sword is stronger.

Blose and Odlo also have some credit, especially Blose, this veteran is willing to bear the burden of hard work, and things are reassuring. If I raise the upper limit of the Northern Expedition, this old man Blose will maintain The lower limit of the Northern Expedition.After Shia's promotion, Bloze can replace her as the military governor. This veteran is experienced and ruthless.Odlo mainly shot the cannon this time, and he deserved the credit, but the credit for the bombardment of the Blackwater Knights cannot be attributed to him alone. You can reward him with a sum of money, paint a cake, and observe it. If the next Zhan can still make meritorious service, and it's not too late to brand the cake for him.The elves have done a good job at their jobs, and they have also made great contributions to rescuing the Rekui Fortress. Romila has worked hard all the way, and so has Selavi. The half-blood elves can give them a fief with beautiful mountains and rivers, right next to Wild Wolf City .

As for the murlocs who made the first contribution in this battle, they will also be given fiefdoms. The original territory will be kept, and another piece will be sealed later.The eight-year-old big brother... Ha, let's just make him a nobleman!

Turn around and confer him a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in Haiyan City, and make him a murloc baron!

Let’s call the other move Earth Shot, wow, it’s so fucking cool!I really hate that I was not on the scene, and missed a special-level monster hand-to-hand battle!

Oh, I have made a lot of contributions myself, so I’ll give myself a promotion as well, and let them call me Commander-in-Chief in the future—I’m the Commander-in-Chief, followed by two generals, and then many regiment leaders.But this matter still needs to say hello to Teves, oh yes, the princess is still waiting for me to go back...

Thinking this way in his heart, Leoric unconsciously walked under the castle.He glanced at the dilapidated castle and thought: Why is this Nicholas resisting?Could it be that he still wants to rely on the evil god to make a comeback?

Too naive, right?

It will take some time for the catapult to blast through the city gate, and there is still a moat between the city gate and the outside streets, and a bridge needs to be built to enter the gate, and it may be necessary to guard against the arrows thrown by the enemy from above... Leoric Not wanting to waste any more time, he finally decided to go into battle himself and open the city gate.

Leoric said: "Xia, you wait here for my news. I will open the city gate in a while, and you will lead people to rush in."

"it is good!"

Then Leoric and Shia came to the shadow of a building, and Shia stood guard for him, preventing irrelevant people from approaching.Then, Li Aroke took out a magic parchment from the contract space, wrote a series of spells, and then soaked it in potion seven times (Leorick always felt that this process was a bit like rinsing). hairy belly), immediately ignited with flames.The parchment was wiped out, and immediately Leoric's figure disappeared into the air.

It was because he hadn't used "secret magic" for a long time, which included a series of old sixth skills such as infiltration, invisibility, camouflage, wall penetration, and gasification.When he first appeared on the stage, Leoric used this trick to open the city wall.

Leoric, who turned into air, passed through the city wall directly, and Shia gathered a team of cavalry at the gate, waiting for news from Leoric.Within 2 minutes, there were screams from inside the city gate, and then the iron chains of the city gate turned with a clatter, and the castle hanging door crashed down, turning into a small bridge across the moat.

Leoric stood in the door, the dog and the succubus looked like two guardians, surrounded by many corpses.Old Li hooked his fingers and said, "Come on, sister, a day trip to the Bachelor City!"

Shia let out a chuckle, and immediately rushed into the castle with the cavalry.

Without any suspense, the castle of the Bachelor City was broken, and Leoric and his party broke into the Bachelor City dignifiedly.Leoric asked Xi Ya to guard the door, and warned the soldiers not to burn, kill, loot, or destroy anything. It is said that there are a large number of precious books in the bachelor's castle. Leoric is a person who respects knowledge very much. He wants Store these things well and send someone to study them slowly.

The moment the castle gate was captured, the soldiers inside surrendered one after another.Afterwards, General Leoric's flag was planted around the fortress, and he shouted loudly to persuade him to surrender. The flower fairies also quickly spread the news that the castle was broken.About two hours later, the fighting in the city completely subsided, and all the remaining guards surrendered. Only a few scholars loyal to Nicholas resisted desperately, and finally committed suicide.

At this point, the battle of Bachelor City, and even the entire swamp rebellion, has come to an end.

Why do you say half of it?Because there are still three things that have not been settled.

First, the culprit of the entire rebellion, Duke Nicholas, is now missing. Some people say that he broke through the secret passage of the castle.

Second, the whereabouts of Su Gudis, the "Black Water Monster Baby" who is said to be sealed in the Bachelor City is also missing, and further investigation is needed.

Third, Leoric did not find General Akkad's whereabouts in the city.

Nicholas couldn't make any waves, and as for the evil god, he was nothing special. Leoric didn't care. The only thing he cared about was the old general's whereabouts.

"From now on, block the four city gates, and then martial law throughout the city!" Leoric issued the first order after occupying the castle, "Look for Nicholas' trace, investigate the whereabouts of the black water monster baby, and, most importantly, Yes, find out where General Akkad is! Announcement is issued, those who find the clues of the Northern Expedition Army will be awarded second-class merit, and those who find specific targets will be awarded first-class merit; if anyone from the enemy prisoners or the people in the city can give clues, we will There are many rewards, and if they are captured, they will be exonerated!"

"Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find it for me!"

……

"what!"

The back of the old man's head was firmly placed on the moss-covered masonry, and he became dizzy immediately.

"You are tough, I know it." Nicholas grabbed Akkad's collar fiercely. At this time, the grim expression of the grand maester could no longer see any previous accomplishments, like a hungry beast, "But no matter how hard a bone is, it's just a bone. I have a thousand ways to break your spine!"

Nicholas was holding General Akkad's collar with his left hand, and an old, bloodstained book in his right hand, which was written by an ancient torturer. It introduces in detail the function of each penalty and the purpose of use. For example, there is a sentence that Nicholas likes very much, which is: literati are afraid of pain, and warriors are afraid of humiliation.Those civil servants, scholars, and nobles should be tortured physically, and the warriors who fought in war should be attacked and humiliated mentally.

However, Akkad is also a general and a military scholar, so neither of these two methods will work for him.Nicholas had tried various methods before, but he couldn't open the old general's mouth, and couldn't make him tell the secret hidden deep in history.

Nicholas was really impatient at this time. He put all his hopes on this matter.He no longer cares about what the battle outside is like, and he doesn't care whether his soldiers are dead or alive. His family, friends, students, and even his favorite library have all been abandoned. , there is only one thing, one thought in his mind now——

"How do the Seven God Nails work?" He grabbed Akkad's neck with his skinny hands and asked loudly.

"You... don't... think about it." The old man was already angry when he spoke, but there was still a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, you forced me!" Nicholas said viciously, and then he waved to the trembling jailer behind him and said:

"You! Bring me that thing on the table!"

"I want to see how strong your will is."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The jailer brought a bowl of dark green water to Nicholas. The dark green water exuded a pungent smell of chemicals, and bubbles appeared from time to time. It didn't look like a good person.Nicholas handed the bowl of poisoned water to Akkad and said, "Drink it!"

Akkad's teeth were naturally closed and he refused to take a sip, but Nicholas also had a way.He took out a stick of incense from his sleeve and put it under Akkad's nose. The old man just took a sip, and then his head began to shake like a sleepy bug, and he fell into a coma not long after.Then Nicholas inserted a tube into Akkad's throat and poured green poisonous water into it.

Akad fell asleep after drinking the medicine, and now he is waiting for the medicine to take effect.

There were footsteps above the prison, as well as roars and curses with a northern accent (to the people of Bachelor City, the north of Haiyan City is the north); Nicholas knew that it was Leoric's people I have searched this prison, but it doesn't matter, his cell is located in the dark room on the lowest floor, I know that there are only him, a jailer and two bookboys here, the jailer is standing behind him now, and the two The book boy had already been killed by him.Leoric couldn't find it here in a short time, he still had a lot of time.What's more, Leoric's main energy must be spent on dealing with the "ancestor god". Nicholas has no hope for that evil god, and he doesn't care about the battle between Leoric and the evil god. The only thing he has to do now is , is to pry open this old stubborn mouth!

After a while, Akkad's face began to turn from white to red, and then gradually to purple. This strange change was obviously due to the effect of the medicine.Nicholas was very nervous at this time. He was not afraid that the medicine would be useless, but that the medicine would be too effective, and the old man would die before he could tell the information.What he gave Akkad was the drug prepared by the astrologer Sonara, which could hypnotize people and completely disintegrate his will.Akkad had also drank some before, but his willpower was too firm and it had no effect. This time Nicholas put all his eggs in one basket and directly used a "lethal dose!", and the result can be imagined, say or die!

Nicholas said in his heart: Old man, you are tough!Since it is a hard bone, don't die so easily, at least wait until you say it before you die.

At this moment, Akkad opened his eyes, and saw that the old man's eyes had almost no blackness, and turned into a strange pure white. However, Nicholas was ecstatic, and shouted: "It has taken effect! It has taken effect!" !"

The hypnotized General Akkad looked at Nicholas blankly, like a soulless zombie.Nicholas asked at this time: "Tell me how to use the Seven God Nails! Quick!"

Akkad's throat wriggled in pain, and then he said a word: "Seven God Nails..." However, after saying this word, a touch of black appeared in the old man's eyes!Then he bit his tongue hard, Nicholas was startled, and quickly pried his mouth open with a torture tool, only to see that Akkad's mouth was dripping with blood, and most of his tongue was bitten off by himself.

Nicholas thought in horror: He wants to bite off his tongue so he can't speak!This is a lethal dose of drugs!Even a cow should fall.How could he still retain a sliver of sanity?

However, that touch of black soon disappeared, and Akkad returned to his previous zombie-like appearance.Nicholas asked him again: "How to use the Seven God Nails?"

Arkad began to speak in a low voice, but only his mouth moved, but no sound came out of his throat.

"Speak out! Speak out! Speak out!" Nicholas slapped him twice angrily, "I order you to speak out! Tell me how to use the Nail of the Seven Gods, you old bastard!"

"Well……"

After a while, Akkad opened his mouth and uttered a series of words in a whispering voice. These words were not plateau dialect, but another language that sounded even weirder.After Nicholas heard it, he immediately pricked up his ears—it was the lost language of the high elves!That's it, that's right!

Nicholas is knowledgeable, proficient in the seven commonly used languages, and also has a rough command of many minority languages, including the almost lost High Elvish.Of course, he doesn't know much, that is, he is better than Serrawi.

However, this level is enough.He had mastered some methods of using the Seven God Nails before, but he lacked some key information!Now with what Akkad said, his last piece of the puzzle was finally put together!It was unblocked, everything was unblocked, at this time Nicholas's thinking logic became as beautiful as a well-tested mathematical formula, he opened his arms and shouted loudly, saying: "Ah——! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! That's right! I shouldn't be chasing the truth, nor should I be chasing the "correctness" given to me by others. Because I am the truth! The decision I make is the most correct!"

The Seven God Nails can seal evil gods, so can't they kill you, Leoric?

"Leoric, we're not done yet!" Nicholas said as he walked out the door. When he reached the gate guard, he suddenly stopped and said to the jailer expressionlessly, "You did a good job."

"grown ups?"
