Chapter 27 The City of Montenegro

"Rochelle."

"Well, what's the matter, Frothea?"

Wearing the performance dress that has not been changed, Loren Hill turned to look at the companion beside him, who were in the dressing room at the back of the venue at the moment.

"The show is over." Frozia walked to the window and looked at the bright moon in the cold sky.

"Yes."

"Actually, I'm saying that I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Emenas for long." Frocia's voice was a little disappointed.

"What happened?" Roland Hill looked at the half-elf girl.

"There will be other arrangements at home." Frozia turned her head, her golden hair showing a touch of silver in the moonlight.

"Will you come back?" the girl asked.

"I don't know." Frozia shook her head.

"What do you think?" Lorraine Hill guessed the arrangements of the Landsworth family. The daughter of the unicorn archduke is now at the top of the green, but has a great reputation.

"I will follow Father's arrangement."

Unlike those naive and capricious eldest ladies, Frozia is not someone who will abandon her responsibilities. This marriage is not only related to her personal life, but also to the future arrangements of the Landsworth family and several provinces in the eastern part of the empire. .

Among them, the huge entanglement of interests and the battle between the factions in the DPRK and China are not something she can completely ignore if she doesn't want to. Compared with the prosperous Griffin Duke and Raven Duke, the Landsworth family has always been gentle, and while winning a good reputation, it also makes it difficult to refuse the royal request.

"Let's have a good time on campus during this time." Lorraine Hill hugged this friend.

--------

After a lapse of two years, the war in Xuehua Seven Kingdoms resumed. Driven by the various commitments and interests of Frost Rose, the Falcon Kingdom chose to stand with it.

After the death of the former Pope of the Sanctuary, the priests and priests in the country were divided into several factions because of disputes. Fortunately, because of the same belief, they maintained the surface peace for the time being.

The Northern Heiyan Principality is different. The battle between the 'Bow Hunting Sect' and the 'Long Halberd Sect' has reached the moment of wielding the blade.

Weitz County, under the beacon city.

This majestic city built on the mountain is majestic and towering, and it is at the junction of the two geographical environments of plains and hills. There are tall arrow towers and observation decks on the fortress in the city, overlooking the vast grassy plain on the west side.

The city that was originally used to defend the enemy on the western plain is now facing the compatriots in the mountains behind.

On the opposite side of the mountains, the catapults were raised, and the twisting sound of tooth acid sounded. Driven by the long wooden arms, the heavy boulders rose in the air, drawing a high parabola, towards the distance. The black city flew away.

In the valley below, several square teams holding round shields rushed towards the city wall under the command of the commander.

brush brush --

The dense rain of arrows came from the air, and the archers hiding behind the city wall threw arrows. These arrows carried a sharp whistle, piercing the sky, falling like black rain, penetrating one side. A shield that nails the charging enemies in the valley to the ground.

"hateful!"

The siege commanders on the hillside watched the scene, angrily raised the long whip in their hands, and swung it down in the air to vent their anger.

Compared with the 'Long Halberd Sect' that attacked the city, the 'Bow Hunting Sect' defending the city contained many hunters who were originally from the mountains. They had superb bow skills and a large number of them, far exceeding these 'Long Halberd Sect' who were fighting outside.

Although the Principality of Heiyan is not all soldiers, the proportion of people who take combat as a profession far exceeds that of other countries, so this small country in the mountains can still occupy a seat among the seven Xuehua countries.

Their ancestors built a city here because of the order of the dynasty to monitor the orcs on the grassland, preventing them from going south and threatening the gathering place of human beings.

With the disintegration of the Quicksilver Dynasty, these black legions stationed in the north lost their former goals, and there was no supply from the hinterland of the dynasty. Due to insufficient food and materials, some people left here and went to live in the south, and some people began to live in the mountains. , They tried planting, hunting, fishing, etc., and finally, one of them started a career as a mercenary.

Originally the frontier legion of the Quicksilver Dynasty, with excellent military training and traditions, good discipline and cost-effective strength, this group of mercenaries from the mountains quickly became famous in the world.

Years later, the country on this land was rightfully called the country of mercenaries by outsiders.

But in fact, in the Principality of Heiyan, it is not the mercenaries who are in power all the year round, but the residents who live in the mountains and lakes all the year round. They make a living by hunting, fishing, and a small amount of planting. The compatriots who are mercenaries bring wealth and wealth. After all, they are fighting outside, and their life and death are uncertain. Many people will still send their money home, so they can rest assured.

With money, it is natural to yearn for a good life, and everything in the mountains is not cheap, so the wealth will slowly flow to these domestic 'bow hunters'. They make a living by holding the ownership of a lot of land and mountains and rivers.

In the past, the two factions, one outside and one inside, although there was occasional friction, but the conflict was not big, and they could still get along very well. With the establishment of Crancia, mercenaries were no longer needed in the country, but were replaced by professional troops in an all-round way.

Under this situation, a large number of mercenaries were unemployed and gradually returned to China. Since then, the conflict between the "Halber Sect" and the "Bow Hunting Sect" has become increasingly serious. So much so that today, the "Long Halberd Sect" finally broke out. They are unwilling that most of the industry and land in the country are controlled by the "Bow Hunting Sect" and are eager to obtain their own interests.

Black banner, lance and shield

Lin Li, the leaders of these various mercenary organizations united, attacked the original domestic elders' association, plundered the family property of those 'bow hunters', and moved out boxes of gold, silver, food, and reserve food.

The huge profits stimulated these mercenaries who used to lick their blood. They slammed open the city gates until they came to the central city of the Principality, which was the Legion Fortress that used to guard the border.

The Bow Hunters who were forced to close their defenses also gathered here. Although there were not many soldiers among them, there were a large number of local supporters and a large population. They also formed teams of combat teams under the emergency selection and training.

As descendants of the same legion and fellow villagers of these mercenaries, although they neglected to practice, it is not very difficult for them to master these warfare skills again.

Relying on the high mountains and barriers, these defenders in the city attacked the rebellious enemies below, and the arrows stored in the city were still built according to the standards of the old dynasty, well-made, and with a little enchantment, they could easily penetrate those not thick. The armor caused these mercenaries to suffer heavy losses.

And with the arrow rain covering and blowing, after leaving many corpses, the commanders of the 'Long Halberd Sect' had to take a break and recall the army again.

Perhaps they were waiting for the arrival of new weapons promised by far-flung allies.
