Great Nobleman

Because they really couldn't think of any good way, everyone finally decided to "act a play".

The frontal army symbolically attacked a city.

Secretly, Anthony negotiated with the Lord of Liuyue City.

If the plan goes smoothly, the Sixth Infantry Regiment will eventually retreat because "attacking Liuyue City is contrary to the strategic purpose".

And in order for everyone to recognize this matter.

Early the next morning, rumors spread in the camp of the Sixth Infantry Regiment that Brand would not be able to use spells for the next week due to excessive consumption of spells released yesterday.

Although no high-level legion has come forward to explain whether this matter is true or not.

But when they saw Brand walking out of the tent with a pale face supported by Catherine, the soldiers already had a clear answer in their hearts!

——Although I'm not sure if this so-called "consumption" is actually consumed by "casting spells"! But this look does look like it needs a few days off!

Because of Brand's fall, the battle plan centered on Brand could not continue to be implemented.

The Sixth Infantry Regiment returned to its original combat march.

Without the spell support of Brand, the "Mage of the Legion", the soldiers were obviously more cautious in their actions.

After all, without Brand, if there was another bandit raid on the scale of yesterday, they would not be sure to repel the bandits with minimal damage.

After seeing the changes in the soldiers under him, all the commanders and Anthony nodded in satisfaction.

There is no doubt that their purpose has been achieved!

Then, after lunch, Anthony ordered that the army continue to march towards Liuyue City.

The soldiers set off with heavy hearts.

As the evening approached, the Sixth Infantry Regiment arrived outside Liuyue City.

Liuyue City was built on a high place, surrounded by slightly downward-sloping stone slopes

After looking at the thick walls, neat bricks and stones of Liuyue City in the distance, as well as the towering towers slightly protruding in the center of the city, the soldiers felt even more heavy.

Compared with Liuyue City, the previous free cities can be called "walled cities" at best.

First of all, the city walls are not level. The walls of the previous free cities were less than half a meter thick, while the walls of Liuyue City were more than five meters thick at a glance.

——This is called the city wall!

In addition, although most of the buildings in the city were blocked by the city wall, the soldiers could tell what they were by the tall towers in the center of the city at a glance!

That is exclusive to the nobles of the Farnese mainland!

- Castle towers!

Seeing such a luxurious configuration in Liuyue City, not only the soldiers felt heavy, but Anthony and several legion commanders were also a little confused.

Although it is true that the captives said that Liuyue City's defense is much higher than other free cities, it is not at the same level!

But is this a bit too exaggerated?

Is this really the lair of bandits?

Didn't they hit some noble's hometown?

After being shocked for a while, the well-informed Anthony still found some clues.

Although the city wall of Liuyue City looks imposing, its material seems to be the most common rock material!

He was greatly relieved by this discovery.

If it's just a rock of ordinary material, it's just a fake.

This kind of city wall that can be destroyed by just a formal knight in a short time cannot be called a qualified city wall at all!

But this is actually not very important.

The main purpose of their coming here was to negotiate with the Lord of Liuyue City, not to really attack the city!

After various thoughts flashed through his mind, Anthony told the commander next to him:

"According to the plan, I will go to the Lord of Liuyue City first."

After saying this, Anthony directly activated the legion's secret skills.

Then, he ran towards the gate of Liuyue City.

When he was about to reach the city gate, without accident, the Lord of Liuyue City jumped off the wall and stopped him.

At this time, the Lord of Liuyue City was still wearing silver-white scale armor, white beard and white robe.

Perhaps it was Liuyue City behind him who gave him confidence, after stopping Anthony.

He smiled and said calmly:

"Yesterday you said we should talk about it. I came back and thought about it, and we can indeed talk about it!"

Hearing how "interesting" the city lord of Liuyue City is.

Anthony also smiled:

"It's great that you can think like this, let's go a little further?"

The Lord of Liuyue City smiled and said, "Okay!"

After such a "friendly conversation", the two of them flickered and quickly left.

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook slightly.

It can be seen that they should be fighting!

According to the original plan, they will not carry out the "siege battle" until Anthony and the lord of Liuyue City have finished their negotiations.

But what surprised them was that after Anthony and the lord of Liuyue City left.

The gate of Liuyue City suddenly opened wide.

A steady stream of cavalry troops with swords and long bows rushed out of the city.

After approaching their position, a dense rain of arrows was thrown.

Seeing this, the commander quickly ordered: "Defensive formation!"

The soldiers raised their shields neatly and protected them above their heads.

This ordinary rain of arrows can't do much damage to soldiers in full armor like them.

The other party must be clear about this, so the purpose of doing so is self-evident.

--provocative!

At this moment, the commanders really wanted to order the front to attack the city to retaliate, but in the end they held back.

Leaving aside the issue of negotiating with the Lord of Liuyue City, this time point is not a good time to attack the city.

If we really start to attack the city now, it is estimated that the sun will go down halfway through the battle.

So let's provoke now, it's like training soldiers' ability to resist arrows with shields.

After all, during the Northern Expedition in the future, the arrow rain of the orcs would not be so light!

On the other side, looking at the rain of arrows flying in the distance.

After Anthony avoided the attack of the city lord of Liuyue City and distanced himself, he frowned and said:

"You don't look like a negotiating attitude!"

Hearing this, the Lord of Liuyue City was surprised for a moment.

After carefully looking at Anthony twice, he found that Anthony looked serious and didn't mean to be joking, so he was not in a hurry to attack.

After putting down the big sword raised in his hand, the Lord of Liuyue City said to Anthony:

"Since you really want to talk, let's talk about it."

Hearing what the lord of Liuyue City said, Anthony was a little speechless.

——Is the feeling guy just talking about negotiating before?

——No wonder you can't wait to start fighting as soon as you come here!

But speechless is speechless, and the plan can still continue.

Next, Anthony told the lord of Liuyue City a good story about their strategic goal of recruiting soldiers in the chaotic zone.

After talking about the strategic goals, he proposed a secret contract signing:

The Sixth Infantry Regiment will not attack Liuyue City again, but at the same time, the city lord of Liuyue City cannot interfere with their recruitment of soldiers in other places, or find ways to gather enough soldiers for them.

After hearing Anthony's proposal, the Lord of Liuyue City frowned and said, "Aren't you here to suppress bandits?"
