What's wrong with building a steel torrent in a dungeon?

Fran quietly looked at Galanodier, the beautiful elf, who looked like a sleeping statue.

After finishing all this, Christina stood up tiredly and said, "She's too tired, and the ride is too bumpy! Fran, you carry her. Your strength has improved rapidly due to the charm, so it should be no problem to carry her all the way. I'm a little tired, so thank you for your hard work."

"Don't worry, sister!" Fran said as she gently picked up Galanodil.

The elf's body was slender and light, and Fran felt very relaxed when she held it. She moved cautiously, as if she was holding a fragile porcelain doll.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

When the elves saw how Fran and Christina took such good care of Galannodiel, they all looked at him with gratitude.

After everyone returned to Orilagele and comforted Galannodiel and the elves, she plunged into the urgent work again.

In addition to bringing her the heavyweight figure Galannodir, the most important thing the elves brought her was a living necromancer!

Fran was naturally well aware of the significance of this necromancer, so she ordered a surprise interrogation at night.

Due to years of fighting, Margaret and her men have mastered a wealth of interrogation techniques. Margaret confidently tells Fran that they will be able to dig out everything in the necromancer's mind.

However, the result was the opposite of what they had hoped for. After a day and a night of interrogation, the necromancer said nothing and remained clenched in her teeth. She even attempted suicide several times when the guards were lax. After several attempts to commit suicide failed, she began a hunger strike to resist the interrogation.

This was a little unexpected for Margaret.

After another morning of failed interrogation, Margaret walked out of the dungeon somewhat annoyed.

"Your Majesty, she still won't say anything?" Fran asked.

Margaret shook her head and said, "She is very stubborn. We have tried all kinds of hard and soft methods. She just refuses to tell us any useful information."

At this time, a soldier nearby said, "Lord City Lord, when you were in the Feruman Empire, Lord Zhu Chongba said that you have rich interrogation skills! You can easily deceive... I mean, you can get all kinds of information from her."

"Where do I get interrogation skills? That's called deception skills... um, anyway!" Fran said quickly, "I'm not practicing the Way of Forgetting! If we really can't get anything out of her, let her eat first. We can take our time with the interrogation, but don't let her starve to death."

"That's the only way," said Margaret.

How about we give it a try?"

But at this moment, Huang Shang on the side said.

"You?" Fulan looked at Huang Shang with some surprise.

Wallenstein also said: "Captain Huang Shang, this interrogation is not like fighting a war. Interrogation is about psychology and tricks. Commander Huang Shang is a good man, so this may be a little difficult."

"I know...but I still want to give it a try, is that okay?" Huang Shang looked at Fulan with burning eyes.

"Okay, give it a try if you want." Fran said.

[Picture: How can an elf stay in a pond?]

Chapter 195 Interrogation

Huang Shang did not start the interrogation immediately. She let the necromancer lady rest for a while, and then walked in with delicious dishes.

"Humph! Here we go again!" The necromancer with kidney deficiency was tied tightly to the pillar. She heard footsteps, raised her head and saw Huang Shang, and immediately said disdainfully: "I want to see what other conspiracies you have up your sleeve."

Huang Shang didn't say anything. She walked around behind the necromancer, grabbed her hand and stroked it slowly.

"What do you want to do!?" The necromancer said nervously, "My orientation is normal! Your tricks won't work on me!"

Huang Shang was a little amused and confused by this reaction. She had not expected this.

After finally feeling the Necromancer's hand, Huang Shang returned to the judgment seat and asked, "Would you please tell me your name?"

Hearing Huang Shang's polite tone and looking at the dishes on the side, the necromancer said, "If hard tactics don't work, then you're going to use soft tactics? Let me tell you, any tricks will be useless to me, Rodya! Use all the good cops and bad cops."

"It's Ms. Rodya!" Huang Shang said, "I just looked at your hands. There are a lot of calluses on them. It looks like you are not a noble. You are just an ordinary citizen like me."

"Hmph! Stop trying to get close to me!" Rhodesia said, "It's true that I'm an ordinary citizen! But for a noble like you, don't pretend!"

"I'm not pretending. I'm the same as you." Huang Shang opened her hands in front of Rodya, revealing her calloused hands. "I was an ordinary farm girl before. I was sold to be a miner. Only recently did I become the head of a corps."

"A miner as a legion commander? How is that possible!" An expression of disbelief immediately appeared on Rodya's face.

"Why not? Many people here are like this. If you want, I can tell you about my experience."

Rodya said nothing.

The one-day interrogation ended quickly. Huang Shang never talked to the other party about the necromancer. They just talked about each other's life experiences. Of course, most of the time, Huang Shang was talking and Rodya was listening.

"Captain Huang Shang's interrogation method is really unique." Wallenstein said as he looked at the long chat record between the two.

"Opening up your heart is the first step to telling a secret." Fran said, "At least, Rhodesia is not as resistant as before, and she even ate the meal."

"But this is too slow. I hope she can reveal all the secrets before the undead arrive." Wallenstein said with some concern: "According to the scouts, Arthas's vanguard is only five days away from us."

"It doesn't matter!" Fran said, "Even if we don't have the information about the necromancer, we already have a plan to deal with the undead. Believe me, the most troublesome thing when attacking the city is no longer the undead, but the demon army! I don't know why. Among this demon army, the proportion of strong people is far higher than that of ordinary people. They will be

The primary enemy when we attack the city."

"It's a pity that the elite troops of the Holy Roll Empire suffered heavy casualties in the previous war, otherwise the city walls would be much easier with them." Wallenstein said.

After that, the scouts delivered various information to the desks of Fran and Margaret one after another.

The size of Arthas's army is terrifying.

The Feruman Empire has a total of 20,000 troops, and the demon army is about 70,000. If it is just based on the size of these two troops, Fran is still confident that she can defeat them. Even though there are quite a few elite troops in the demon army, the number of undead...

According to rough statistics, the number of undead is around 600,000.

Six hundred thousand... this number is already several times their current military strength!

Of course, the number is not the key. After all, the undead cannot use ladders and are unlikely to climb onto the city walls.

The most important thing is, if these 600,000 undead bypassed Orila Gra and headed straight for Vienna or Orila City in the rear, if Arthas was more ruthless, he could disperse these 600,000 undead and attack the villages and towns in the Holy Roll Empire, and then the number would snowball.

This is what Fran is most worried about.

The undead don't need supply lines, so they can ignore the impregnable Orilagall and bypass it directly without worrying about being cut off from the outside. If this happens, Orilagall may have to be renamed the Maginot Line.

Before the construction of Olilagler, the engineers did not take this characteristic of the undead into consideration, and did not take any countermeasures. Of course, even if they had thought of it at the time, it would have been difficult to do anything. After all, they could not build a wall on the border to completely block the attack of the undead.

So when dealing with the undead, they still have to rely on mobile warfare, but when dealing with the Feruman Empire and the demons, they have to rely on the city walls.

However, Fran was not sure whether Arthas had already asked the undead to do so.

To this end, she sent out a large number of troops to patrol the empire and organize the people to spontaneously organize themselves into armed forces. Although no trace of the undead has been found so far, who knows whether these undead are waiting for the outbreak of a battle on the front battlefield before infiltrating one by one.

Therefore, Fran had to put enough pressure on Arthas on the front battlefield so that he would not dare to split his troops, in order to protect the safety of the rest of the Holy Roll Empire.

But this meant that they could no longer just stay behind and defend, they had to take the initiative to attack. In order to search for traces of the undead throughout the empire, she had to send out a large number of soldiers, which made the already insufficient guard force even more stretched.

Probably the only good news in the past few days is that Galannodir has finally recovered.

Through the mouthpiece of the city of Orila, she expressed to the whole world, as the high priest of the elves, her determination to fight the undead and evil to the end.

Such an act undoubtedly angered the Elf Empire! The elven nobles privately accused Galannodir of disregarding national interests and being unworthy of being the high priest.

Of course, they dared not say anything about Galannodil in public. After all, what she did was very correct, and her reputation within the empire was very high. If they did anything to her at this critical moment, it would undoubtedly damage the reputation of the Elf Empire. And the war faction within the empire would probably take the opportunity to cause trouble.

However, the nobles of the Elven Empire have been immersed in political politics for thousands of years, and there are many shrewd people among them. Therefore, instead of reprimanding Galannodier's behavior, the nobles praised her courage! In this way, it seems that the Elven Empire's request for peace was forced, and they were actually very eager to fight against the undead.

In this way, the appearance of Galannodil seemed to be deliberately arranged by the elven nobles. Although this approach was suspected of being both a hypocrite and a hypocrite, it was too late to care about it at the critical moment.

In this way, the elven nobles successfully shut up the war faction, preventing them from protesting or causing trouble in the capital.

We obviously sent people to fight against the undead, but we couldn't do it ourselves for some reason! If you are really passionate, you can go to Aurora City to fight in person like Galanodier! Instead of arguing here!

What? No boat? No problem! I'll send a boat to take anyone who wants to go. You won't be afraid to go again at this time, will you?

The nobles of the Elf Empire have a good plan. They intend to use this method to force the war faction to make a choice: either shut up or go to the front line! Don't bother us noble lords!

At the same time, they are also very sure that these war hawks do not have the courage to go to the front line! They are just using this excuse to pursue their own political interests.

However, what the elven nobles did not expect was that in the end, a large number of soldiers really took a boat to the city of Aurora!

Some of these soldiers were certainly inspired by Galannodir, but more of them wanted to take revenge on the undead and avenge their comrades, brothers, and relatives who died tragically in the Soul-Guiding River.

They are different from the upper class elven nobles.

And at this time, the first battle between Fran and Arthas finally began...

Chapter 196 The Last Ally

Just over twenty miles away from Orilagele, Arthas's advance undead troops headed straight for the outpost built by Fran.

More than 10,000 undead charged towards the outpost like a tide. More than ten artillery pieces at the outpost attacked alternately, but the shells were like falling into the sea, without any ripples! The undead were not afraid of their companions being torn to pieces, nor were they afraid of death.

And this time, the fire attack is not as effective against the undead as before!

If it had happened before, once the undead were touched by the flames, they would have run around crazily, and then set more people on fire. However, this time, when the incendiary bombs set most of the undead on fire, they actually lay flat on the ground, allowing the undead that came later to crush them.

Although this method cannot prevent the spread of fire, at least it will not spread to a large area like before.

It seems that not only our side is improving, but the Necromancer on the opposite side is also improving.

But despite this, fire is still the best way to deal with the undead!

The undead's attack lasted less than an hour, and artillery and muskets were unable to stop their charge. Seeing that the undead were about to surround the entire outpost, the soldiers inside hurriedly rode away on horseback, blowing up the outpost in the process.

In this way, over the next few days, the undead led by Arthas took down several outposts in one go, and it can be said that they were unstoppable and invincible.

The firearms that everyone had high hopes for seemed to fail when facing the undead and basically had no effect.

For a time, the forces that were originally optimistic about the city of Orila stopped their activities and waited and watched. At the same time, the volume of material transactions in Bieson Port also began to decline sharply.

It seems that the entire continent is looking down on Fran. Some people have even started to have some evil intentions, wanting to take over Biesong Port as a bulk commodity trading center.

However, at this critical moment, Fran welcomed their first wave of orc reinforcements.

Looking at the two thousand fully armed orc troops led by Kagraz, Fran was overjoyed.

"It's unbelievable, Ms. Kagraz!" Fran gave the orc warrior a big hug and said, "I didn't expect you to come."

"Oulila City is our staunch ally! Of course we will help our allies when they are in the most difficult time!" Kagraz patted the armor on his chest: "Besides, the reinforcements are not just from our side!"

"Not just you? Who else could it be?" Fran was full of doubt.

So far, the only people who seem to have a good impression of the city of Aurora are the orcs! The others are either dwarves who want to use you as a weapon, or pure business partners like Venice and Genoa!

As the battle situation was unclear, they would definitely not send troops to support Fran, and it would be good enough if they didn't add insult to injury.

"You will never guess! One of them is the Troll Empire! The other is the Eagle Empire of the Inya continent." Kagraz said.

"Troll Empire? Eagle Empire?" After hearing the explanation, Fran became even more confused.

These two countries have no communication with Aurora City, and have not even met them at the Holy Alliance meeting. Why did they send troops to support them?

But no matter what, one more ally means one more strength.

By the afternoon, groups of two-meter-tall trolls appeared around Orilagle. These trolls were green like orcs, but they were thin and had various camouflages on their faces. They were good at fighting in the jungle.

"Hello! Respected City Lord! I am Taztingo from the Troll Empire." The troll bowed to Fran.

"Hello, trolls who have come from afar." Fran also returned the greeting.

"We are here under the order of Lord Jinzaka to help the city lord fight against the evil undead. Please use us as you wish, even if you can use us as cannon fodder."

Uh, do trolls always speak so directly?

Jinzaka is one of the four most powerful sanctuaries in the entire continent. It is precisely because of his existence that the Elf Empire has never dared to annex the Troll Empire which is just around the corner.

However, after taking a look at the trolls' shabby equipment, Fran immediately understood what Jinzaka meant.

After a while, the reinforcements from the Eagle Empire also arrived in Orila City. The Eagle People look not much different from humans, except that they are decorated with eagle feathers all over their bodies, which makes them look very unique. The leader of the Eagle Empire, Allende, is also one of the four holy domains on the continent. It seems that Allende and Jinzaka's idea is

Consistent.

They want to unite a new force outside the Northern Alliance and the Chinese Alliance. These weak countries unite to fight against the hegemony of the Northern Alliance and the Chinese Alliance. This war against the undead will be a very good stage.

Nothing can better demonstrate sincerity than helping someone in need.

Although the defeat of the outpost was intentional by Fran, from the outside world's point of view, the Vienna Alliance was indeed defeated repeatedly, firearms failed, fire attacks failed, the fortress was about to be surrounded, and the country was about to be destroyed! At this time, it was very rare to even stand up and make a voice, let alone directly send troops to support.

The support from the three marginal empires was a severe slap in the face of the Holy Alliance.

Don't be fooled by your high-sounding words on weekdays, such as being irreconcilable with demons and evil, and always using the beacon of civilization to stick on your faces. When the critical moment comes, you are silent one by one. You are not as loyal as us who have been oppressed.

Fran quickly arranged these forces that came to support. Although they could not use muskets, the soldiers who were selected to cross the ocean were all the elite among the elite, which just made up for the shortage of Fran's rank warriors.

And at the last moment of the war, a force she could never have imagined appeared in Orilagle - Rainbow City.

Rainbow City must have known the weakness of the Undead Army, so it dispatched countless fire magicians, led by one of the ten great magicians of Rainbow City - the Flame Red Tower Pillar, Lina.

Lina first expressed the position of Rainbow City. Although they had many misunderstandings with the Vienna Alliance before, now that they are facing a powerful enemy, Rainbow City will still fulfill its obligations and help the Vienna Alliance resist the enemy together!
