Chapter 27 It's like lying down and getting shot!(1/2)
At the same time, the stalemate in front of the main gate of Trides' inner city had lasted for several hours.
The three fully armed soldiers blocked the city gates and did not allow anyone to enter or exit without permission. These soldiers were the elite guards directly under the Lord of Trides. Their equipment and weapons were far from comparable to the permanent guards. Their restrained fighting spirit light also showed their extraordinary strength. On weekdays, this special army, known as the strongest city of Trides, would not appear in people's sight at all, but at this time they guarded all the three inner city gates like cans. Therefore, no matter how stupid a person was, he understood that something must have happened in the inner city.
"Lt. Delius, it's already nine o'clock in the evening. No matter how martial law is in the inner city, it should be appropriately relaxed, right?"
At the gate of the city, the equally fully armed Knight of Judgment, Gorlistan, first glanced at the messy crowd behind him, and then spoke to the tall officer blocking the middle of the city gate.
Not to mention those nobles who have a family but have no choice but to return, Galestine herself has the task of entering the inner city to submit the report on the handling of the slave market case in the afternoon. However, when she arrived at the city gate at six o'clock, she found that the entire inner city had martial law. She had been waiting until now at nine o'clock, the sun had already set and the night had completely fallen. There was no sign of the martial law order being lifted, so she couldn't help but be in a hurry.
"Soldier, please back!"
In the armor, Lieutenant Delius's low voice was without any emotion: "This is the martial law order issued directly by the Lord of Einz - I repeat again. No one can enter and exit this city gate before receiving a new order, and those who disobey will be killed."
"But……"
"No, soldier!"
Delius pulled out the rune sword on his waist and emitted a faint high-level fighting spirit as a warning.
Although she really wanted to fight against each other, Garystein might not be afraid of this unreasonable lieutenant, since it was the death order from the superiors, she had to frown and take two steps back.
Through the towering and mottled inner wall, Gallistan always felt that the atmosphere on the other side was a bit strange, and the long-famous lieutenant in front of him was particularly low compared to the past. A faint uneasiness had lingered in her heart for a long time, but she still suppressed the urge to go in and find out the truth. As a qualified Knight of Decision, she was still very clear about what should and should not do.
At this moment, neat footsteps gradually sounded behind the city gate, the thick iron curtain opened the narrow gap, and another team of fully armed soldiers walked out in line.
"Lt. Delius, the time for shift changes is up."
The officer in charge approached and spoke.
Lieutenant Delius, who had been standing in place for several hours, finally moved. He waved his hands to the soldiers guarding the city gate behind him, and soon completed the handover with the new team. Of course, this scene was seen by the nobles waiting to enter on the street and the servants living in the inner city, which caused another boo and commotion. Even the handover was created, which means that it was still far away from the end of martial law?
If they were ordinary city guards, many powerful nobles would not take them seriously at all. Anyway, even if they forced themselves into force, the other party would not dare to do anything to themselves. But unfortunately, all the guards guarding the city gates were guards of the lord's mansion, or the clerks of Trides. If they dared to forcibly break in under their control, it would be slapped by the lord's city lord's face twice. So even if the crowd was excited, no one would be so stupid that they really did this.
As a result, many nobles had already planned to give up waiting and stayed in the outer city for a night. As more and more people left the city gate, the originally bustling inner city gate gradually became quiet.
But it happened that Gregardin knew the officer who came to change shifts.
"Lt. Shero, can you tell me what's going on in the inner city?"
Gorestein hurriedly stepped forward and asked, and the bearded officer in front of him was obviously much easier to speak than Lieutenant Delius before. He gave Grestein a equal-level knightly salute and shook his head helplessly.
"I'm sorry, I can't say anything about the details, but we already know that the riots that happened in the Underworld in the afternoon may be related."
"So that's the case!"
Gallistan had long felt that the riots in the slave market would not be that simple, and how could the high-level tribal commanders be so easily mixed into the slave team? Therefore, she had long guessed that this incident might be related to the emergency ban in the inner city. At this time, she was affirmed by Second Lieutenant Herro, and her doubts were naturally solved a lot.
"I hope everything goes well. It's getting late now. I plan to submit my report tomorrow. The martial law may have ended at that time."
Garystein said that she saw the fewer and fewer waiters around and the moon hanging high in the sky, and finally she did not plan to wait any longer: if it was later, even if the martial law was over, the Justice Department in the inner city would have already gotten off work, and it would be useless to go there.
"Please."

"...So, after learning from countless failed experiences, all the death wizards were so sinister. If it weren't for the insider, and if you stepped on the dog's shit in the morning, you discovered the clues in advance, when I realized it, these monsters should have rushed out of the inner city long ago. The losses at that time were too great. Even if Trides City was not destroyed, it would have been almost half of them."
Stepping on the cleaned-up hall ground, Donald was talking to Su Wen about the process of the undead natural disaster... Well, of course he and Su Wen did not leave the scene. If he left obediently with the dark-faced Nicholas, then Donald would not be called Donald.
"Do you think they planned the riots in the slave market just to cause riots? In fact, it is just a good excuse for martial law in the inner city. Those smart nobles will quickly follow the thoughts and then come down with peace of mind. The stealing of babies disguised as human trafficking cases is also to block traffic in the outer city. If I guess correctly, the convoy outside the city gate was still in a long queue until this time - unless it is an important case involving human lives, the girls of the Sword of Judgment will not work so hard to investigate."
"In this way, the entire Trides city was perfectly divided into three pieces. The soldiers blocked at the gate of the inner city had long been controlled by the Death Mage, and they would abide by their duties no matter what happened. Therefore, they were able to perform assassination with great confidence, but also allowed the monsters to have a happy meal. Finally, after getting sufficient supplies and strengthening, they rushed out of the city gate and slaughtered the city while the night was shrouding. That's it."
Su Wen shook his head.
"It's really terrible, but as you said, even if the outer city area was not affected in the end, the inner city area might have been almost killed at this time."
"It's not much better, but the bureaucracy in Trides is too bloated, and it's not a big deal to die."
"Hey! Why are you..."
"Isn't it a good opportunity? It's been silting more than two hundred years of toxins. Trides City is in need of a big firework - huh? Listen."
As soon as Donald finished speaking, Su Wen immediately felt the ground under his feet tremble slightly. Soon, a dull loud noise came out through the heavy rocks, echoing like thunder in the hall.
But this was just the beginning. Soon, bursts of explosions came again, and even the load-bearing stone pillars in the hall began to shake...
"Who did this? Are you crazy?"
Su Wen covered her ears and stared at Donald.
"Ahem, don't look at me, it's really not what I asked me to do - you don't know that I have always been in the outer city and have never entered the inner city at any time." Donald quickly cleared his suspicion, as if he didn't expect the explosion to happen like such a coincidence. "But it's probably the order given by Einz, the old undead city lord. If he knew that there was a devastating natural disaster in his city, he would have to turn the blame on the group of orcs in the east. Well, they were assassinated by orc destroyers who were mixed into the inner city, and when they were desperate, they detonated the magic scroll hidden in advance, causing a large number of casualties. This script is quite good. The group of green-skinned monsters have been focusing on terrorists for a year or two. If they can take this big blame, they may not admit it."
“…”
Su Wen suddenly felt that there was no kind and good person around him at all?
But if you think about it carefully, being attacked by orcs in the end is not the same as the nearly undead natural disaster: a grievance has its head and debt has its own debt, and it happens from time to time in various cities on the mainland, which at most will deepen the hatred between humans and orcs. The undead natural disaster is the dereliction of duty by the city lord in any case. At the same time, the panic and psychological blow caused to civilians may be more than ten times greater, and it will even have a far-reaching negative effect on the future development of Trides City, whether it is economic and trade, or its reputation in the Doron Empire.
So, since a disaster has happened, sometimes deception may not necessarily lead to worse.
After a long time, the vibration of the explosion finally subsided...
"Have you found the one you like yet? You have been picking it for almost half an hour."
Seeing that the originally thick plasma in the hall was almost plundered by the necromancers, they even began to lead the undead servants to sweep up the inscriptions in the sky. Su Wen was still spinning in the group of monsters' corpses, and Donald finally seemed a little impatient.
"All of them are abominable. If I can, I really don't want any one."
"It means you want to be a semi-disabled necromancer? Although you don't forcefully require summoning creatures, if you are a necromancer without a demon, you will be embarrassed even if you say it out - here, even if you have a slime, it is much better than nothing." As he said that, Donald really picked up a ball of sticky liquid from the ground and threw it into Su Wen's arms.
Su Wen's face remained unchanged, grabbed Slime's body and smashed Donald's face.
The latter smiled and easily caught it, and then threw it back into his arms. After throwing it back and forth three times, Su Wen found that his upper body was almost wet with the mucus flowing out of the Slime corpse, and Donald was still calm and leisurely, and he didn't even get a drop of water, so he stopped playing.
"Forget it, just it."
Found that he was at a disadvantage, Su Wen decisively stopped resisting.
Anyway, it is less than the level of a high-level necromancer, and there is no way to open a space channel between Su Wen and the summoned creature, so he cannot summon it out to fight for himself. In addition, he cannot bring his own monster to St. Peter's Academy. Before that, he must have to hand it over to his undead mentor Nikola for maintenance. Because of this, no matter what kind of monster you choose, it will not be substantial to Su Wen. The significance is nothing more than establishing a soul contract with Su Wen, and thereby improving his understanding and learning speed of undead magic. As for the strength of the monster itself, it is something that only high-level or above necromancers need to seriously consider.
In other words, unless Su Wen's strength reaches a high level, there is no difference between him choosing any monster as a demon. After all, he is a part-time necromancer, and he has no hope of being very strong.
but……
Just as Su Wen made up his mind, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the epic side mission: the first ring of the 'Slime': the inconspicuous slime. Mission introduction: You decided to use this inconspicuous monster as your devil, but you quickly became puzzled. Why did it appear in the army of monsters, which is not strong enough? Just to increase experience value to the brave? I'm afraid things are not that simple... Now, approach and discover the secret of this slime, you may find unexpected surprises. There may be shocking conspiracy and huge rewards behind it. Mission reward: 150 redemption points; mission duration: 50 days."
Su Wen opened his mouth and almost let go of the soft body to the ground, without even the strength to complain.
After a long time, he came back from his sluggishness and immediately understood: If there was really any secret on Slime in the monster army, it would be a high chance to be related to the King of Immortals, and that was definitely not a realm that he could intervene now! However, when he was about to hold Donald to say something to him, the task reminder that the unprecedented "question supplement" at the bottom of the mission reminder was suddenly noticed by him.
"——This task is an epic side mission, with the ability and uniqueness to change the historical development direction of the glorious continent. If the host makes unauthorized unwise choices, it will execute the erasure command. If the host gives up the task, the same treatment will be made as the task failure."
Like a thunder striking, Su Wen almost jumped up.
"I'll throw your nuts in the system!"
————Separation line———
The empty space is empty, but it is filled with strange aura.
Accompanied by the faint sound of gasping, the petite blood girl was covered in blonde hair, her body curled up like shrimps, and she kept making slight convulsions. Her lower abdomen was slightly raised, and her whole body was tied tightly by delicate ropes, and a hollow metal ball was stuffed between her vermilion lips. Although the Gothic short robe on her body was not damaged at all, from her slightly dispersed pupils, it can be seen how much grievance she had suffered.
"How is it, do you feel comfortable?"
The old man in a bright red robe was covered with sacred glory. He smiled and came to the girl, leaned over and said kindly to him.
The body of the blood girl trembled, her dispersed eyes gathered, and then endless hatred and fear grew.
"You...you devil!"
She suddenly struggled violently.
Although the rope wrapped around her body seemed strong, the whole bundle was broken in an instant, and the metal ball in her mouth was also bitten by silver teeth - these things that bound the girl, in fact, she could break free without any effort.
"What a naughty one, how can you move around?"
The old man smiled kindly, then took out the new rope and metal ball and threw it in front of the blood girl: "Bring it with you yourself, otherwise you will enjoy more exciting tricks."
As he said that, he snapped his fingers and a group of strong men covered with muscles appeared beside him.
Most importantly, they were all wearing no clothes.
"This is the secret of the Western secret art VAN, no less than the previous Yarika King. Well, just like the previous rules, until you become obedient again, their performances will never disappear. Don't worry - we still have a lot of time, at least within 100 years, I have a way to make this field not broken, and I promise that the subsequent tricks will become more and more exciting, you can look forward to it."
Upon hearing this, the fear in the eyes of the blood girl gradually overcame the anger.
Even now, these illusory images are a hundred times more terrifying than he could imagine the most ugly things in the world. She really couldn't imagine what the "more exciting" would be like in the old man's mouth. Moreover, in this red-closed demon's realm, there is no effect in closing vision and hearing. She could only feel the intense strangeness of her body while being tortured by these illusions...
For the first time, she felt deeply powerless about her bloodline power that she thought was impeccable in the past, and at the same time she also felt unprecedented despair: How did this red-robed demon be favored by the goddess of light? Even if he was beaten to hell, he was the most despicable and shameless existence!
And at this moment, an abnormal fluctuation suddenly came from the domain space...
"Cousin Donald, are you doing something disgusting?"
A pleasant sound like a wind chime!
The blood girl opened her eyes and saw a young but expressionless blue-haired girl, as well as the girl's tender face, her pupils that seemed to see through everything. The old man in the red robe changed his face and quickly snapped his fingers. In just a moment, whether it was the strong man like a group of demons dancing in the void or the strange props in front of the blood girl, they all disappeared without a trace.
"Snow...Shirley, how could you come here!"
The old man was in a hurry.
To be continued...
