Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

In just a few seconds, Deol felt like his mind was spinning. If the attendant next to him hadn't helped him in time, Deol might have fainted.

Caravan, army.

Just one word, but a huge difference.

De Orr is incomprehensible and completely incomprehensible.

Antolia is obviously a vassal under the Braves family, and the young Viscount Antolia is obviously still leading the army northward with his father.

Even just a few days ago, Deol received battle reports from the Eastern Front Army.

In the battle report, Viscount Antolia had already led his army to conquer Oak City, and was now advancing towards South Valley City, which made Deol really excited.

Why did Antolia's soldiers arrive at the city in the blink of an eye?

"What did you say? Say it again?" Deol couldn't help but ask.

"Antoria's army!"

"Right now, Antoria's soldiers have taken control of the city gates of Parma! My lord!" the knight said sadly and angrily.

Even though the knight had said it over and over again, Deol couldn't help but confirm again and again: "Are you really sure that's the Antolian army?"

"Those soldiers are flying the double-headed eagle flag of Antolia!"

"The leader of the army is Stann, the mercenary leader of Antolia. He has been escorting the caravans to and from Antolia in the past few days. He will definitely not admit his mistake!"

"The soldiers guarding the city have long been accustomed to this caravan going back and forth between Antolia and Parma. They put it into the city without checking it at all. However, they did not expect that as soon as those Antolian people entered the city, a One drew his sword and took control of the city gate."

"Why? Why is this happening?"

Such a drastic change left Deol at a loss for a moment, and he just stood there and muttered to himself in a daze.

Antolian mercenary!

At this moment, Deol seemed to suddenly understand why the mercenaries from Antolia never went north with Leon.

It turns out...that damn Viscount never wanted to obey the Duke's orders from the very beginning!

"If the Antorians rebel, what should we do about going north?"

"My lord, how can I care about going north at this time? If the Antolians dare to raid the dukedom, it probably means...it means that the duke has encountered something unexpected..."

The waiter on the side couldn't help but remind him.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Hearing this, Deol panicked for a moment, and finally the knight who came to report the news said eagerly: "Right now, the Antolians have not yet controlled the whole city, and the lord still has many personal guards, who may be able to protect them." You rush out of the city!"

However, before the knight could finish his words, noisy and hoarse shouts of killing could be heard outside the window.

For a moment, everyone's faces turned extremely pale.

…

Stein thought it would be a fierce battle.

This is the duke's fiefdom!

A wider territory, a richer family fortune, and a larger population. These objective conditions had already made Stann determined to die and prepared to die in battle the moment he took on this task.

However, everything that happened today went smoothly beyond Stein's imagination.

With almost no loss of men, the Antolian mercenaries from afar took control of the south gate of the city of Parma. Many of the soldiers guarding the city did not even draw their swords or even use their spears. After raising it, he collapsed to the ground with several knives in his body, letting out bursts of pain.

Stein's plan for this sneak attack was extremely clear.

Be fast and strike hard.

The first thing to do is to control the gates of Palma City and make the soldiers and tribesmen of the Bravis family become turtles in the urn.

If it were normal times, Stein would definitely not dare to do this.

But the problem is that the Duke of Galicia who went north took away most of the combatable soldiers in the city of Parma, so that the defenders in the city were either old, weak, sick or disabled, or they were militiamen who had just been recruited and had no chance of fighting. Power.

Not to mention military training, a large part of these people have never even touched weapons a few times. They are just showpieces. At most, they stand guard at the city gate and collect city taxes. When a fight actually breaks out, they will be ready in an instant. His own weakness is undoubtedly exposed.

The soldiers of Antolia had just killed a few militiamen, but many of them had already fled and were defeated. Even the mercenaries of Antolia were a little confused.

How come even the soldiers under the duke have this kind of behavior? !

However, although everything went as smoothly as a dream, Stein still faithfully implemented his battle plan.

The first step to control the city gate has been completed.

The second step is to pay special attention to key areas.

For example, there is no need to send troops to the slums next to the city wall.

The poor people, who had no hope of even having a full meal, had no chance of stopping the Antolians. At the moment when the shouts of killing came, almost all the poor people hid in their dilapidated houses. , for fear of being chopped down by these vicious mercenaries.

So after completing the control of the city gates and walls, Antolia's mercenaries were like wild horses running wild, rushing towards the lord's castle in the center of the city from all directions.

It was in the Lord's Castle that the mercenaries of Antolia finally encountered some decent resistance.

There are indeed many knights left behind in the city of Parma.

But how could those knights who came out of the competition be the opponents of the Antolian people? In addition, the Antolian soldiers had a numerical advantage. In just a few rounds, the so-called elite knights were already Continuous defeats.

The most intuitive feeling these knights brought to the Antolian people was not their solid swordsmanship, but the solid armor on their bodies.

After all, the foundation of the Bravis family lies there.

Compared to the cloth armor worn by Antolian soldiers, the armor worn by the knights weighed dozens of kilograms. Even the mercenaries from Antolia were somewhat unable to handle it.

However, for Stan with the Shadow Blade in his hand, those strong armors were as if they were made of paper. It was almost just a face-to-face encounter. The enchanted long knife in Stan's hand was enough to penetrate the chest that the knights were most proud of. First.

From the first floor of the castle to the third floor of the castle.

After suffering dozens of huge casualties, the soldiers of Antolia finally broke through the knights' siege and found the lord who was already trembling with fear in the lord's kitchen under the stairs. .

"Lord Deol."

Stan grinned, revealing a teasing smile.

Thanks to the book friend "Still Unknown Flower" who bribed Mr. Lai with 100 Andal silver coins, he decided to grant him the privilege of being exempted from military service for one year.

I have a little headache. Go to sleep. Good night everyone.
