Warhammer Wizard
Chapter 449: Bone knocking and marrow aspiration
Dylan Lauberdil is faster than he says it is.
Before half a day, even before it got dark, he had already opened the gate of Windfury Castle and welcomed the dragonborn army into the castle.
Windfury Castle is built on a huge cliff by the sea. The terrain is extremely high and surrounded by the sea on three sides. There is only a narrow road outside the gate to the west to enter the castle. Its city walls are more than 30 meters high, and they are all made of boulders. The walls are curved, and it is almost impossible to climb. You can vaguely see rune engraved lines, flowing with faint elemental energy.
The sky above the castle is very gloomy, and the storm does not dissipate all year round.
This is the largest castle Rennes has ever seen, more than ten times larger than his own Glamorgan Castle.
Windfury Castle is both a castle and a city.
The territory of the Lauberdil family is the most barren of the seven duchies. Most of the areas are hills and the population is the smallest. There are more than 50,000 people in Windfury Castle, which is already the largest city in the Duchy of Lauberdil.
Windfury has never fallen in its history.
Ren observed the storm rune formation arranged on the city wall. This formation is very ingenious. It borrows the high-density wind elemental power in the special windy weather. It only needs a small number of Julu warriors or warlocks of the wind bloodline to activate it. The magic circle usually doesn't require much maintenance.
If there are enough people to run the storm circle, it is not difficult to break it.
Moreover, this magic circle is not like the water curtain shield of River Run, it has the ability to attack, and the power of the wind spell released is no less than that of the eighth-level spell, whether it is attacking the enemy in the air, or attacking the only city surrounded by it. Enemies outside the door can cause great damage.
However, as the old saying goes, the strongest fortress is never broken from within.
Under the setting sun, the army of dragonborn entered Windfury Castle.
Dylan Robert Deere stood at the inner city gate of Windfury Castle and shouted loudly, "Welcome the Queen to Windfury Castle!"
"Qing Dylan, you did a great job." Emily smiled and looked very satisfied.
"Serving Her Majesty is the greatest honor of my life." Dylan humbly bowed again, revealing the giant axe on his back.
The blade of this epic "Storm Slayer" is dripping blood.
A group of nobles stood behind him. Many people's faces had not recovered from their panic, but they did not dare to have any intention of resisting. Those who dared to stand up against it have all been hacked to death, and the bodies of those people are lying on the side of the road of the castle.
All the way here, everyone already knew about the ruthless means of the new Duke of Lauberdil.
The first was the thousand people he asked for, half of them were private armies led by the surviving vassal lords, including the Count of Lucua who surrendered first. They all became prisoners of the order and had to cooperate in order to survive; half were Elite and extraordinary people from the Principality of Fisher, they can monitor the behavior of the captives, and if the captives defect, they still have a chance to win the castle.
It can be seen from the selection that Dylan is a rough and fine person, not as reckless as he seems.
He took more than a thousand extraordinary people back to Windfury Castle at the fastest speed.
The supernatural beings pretended to be retreating soldiers who were defeated and fled to deceive the city gate. After entering the castle, they immediately launched a big purge. Under the command of Dylan, all those who placed Mark or those who raised objections were placed. All were executed swiftly.
There were not many troops left behind at Windfury Castle, with only a few hundred people, and their strength was relatively weak. Under a sudden attack, they could hardly fight back.
Dylan not only successfully took down Windfury Castle, but also cleared away dissidents in an open and fair manner.
Even now that Emilys leaves with the army, he can firmly control Windfury Castle and become the de facto ruler of the Duchy of Lauberdil.
Ren took a deep look at Dylan Lauberdil.
This person is very difficult and must be guarded against.
That night, the dragonborn army spent the night in Windfury Castle, and a simple welcome dinner was held in the Gale Hall of the inner castle. Only a few nobles and lords attended; the next day, Dylan, after being allowed, went to the square in the castle. A mourning ceremony was held for the soldiers who died yesterday.
In front of tens of thousands of residents of Windfury Castle, Dylan first expressed his regret and regret for the deceased, and even resisted a few tears.
He then begins berating his brother Mark, calling him a usurper, betraying the Drogonburg family, the true rulers of Congatro, and the crimes of the past decades, blaming the war on Mark.
If it wasn't for Mark's betrayal and usurpation, how could the Dragonborn attack Windfury Castle?
Mark hasn't returned to Windfury Castle for decades, and he no longer regards himself as a member of the Duchy of Lauberdil!
If it wasn't for Mark who brought the Julu warriors to the capital, causing the strength of Windfury Castle to plummet, how could those brothers die?
Dylan's eloquence is very good and very encouraging.
At the beginning, the residents didn't quite believe what he said. As Dylan spoke more and more excitedly, gradually, people responded loudly, cursing the king who had not seen him for decades, and the people in the square. There was a lot of noise, and the scolding was endless.
Under this momentum, Dylan announced that Mark would be expelled from the Lauberdil family, which also received the support of the residents.
Finally, he solemnly introduced Emilys.
A dragonborn, the legendary noble dragonborn appeared in front of the people, and three majestic dragons appeared together. The residents of Windfury Castle were horrified and full of curiosity at the same time.
Emily also showed her kindness in moderation.
Ordinary people are always easily moved by some very ordinary behaviors of superiors, a kind smile, a simple response, and even a glance at each other will be infinitely magnified, giving people an inexplicable sense of closeness. Proud.
If this high-ranking person has a mighty power that surpasses ordinary people, the effect will be even better.
Compared with King Mark, who wears the title of Duke of Lauberdil but has not returned for decades, a noble dragonborn who can be seen standing in front of his eyes, the beautiful Queen, it is obvious who people will support.
In just a quarter of an hour, Emily had convinced the people of Stormfury.
The crowd cheered loudly for the return of the Dragonborn.
Mark in Stormfury is a thing of the past.
Ren looked on coldly, and I have to say that Dylan Lauberdil surprised himself again. There were obviously some people in the crowd who were "trustees" arranged by him, using people's herd mentality to play with the people of Windfury Castle to applaud.
He looked at Varogan and Dinglaji beside him.
Both of them are used to hiding behind the scenes, so they didn't follow Emily to the stage. Their faces were a little complicated, and they were a little wary in their joy.
Delighted because he successfully won Windfury Castle, conquered the Duchy of Lauberdil, and gained the support of the people.
The vigilance is for Dylan Lauberdil, who is probably not easy to control.
"Are you afraid that he has a problem?" Ren asked.
"Yes." Dinglaji nodded, "He took control of the Principality of Lauberdil through His Majesty's hand, and he will not be able to rule the Principality in the future. He is also a legendary high-rank Julu Warrior, and his position is unstable now. , he won't have any dissent, maybe in the future."
Varogan also had a worried look on his face.
Ren laughed twice, "If he is really so powerful, why is he still being suppressed by Mark? You know, Mark hasn't returned to Windfury Castle for decades, and he hasn't been able to turn over."
"Uh..." Dinglaji couldn't answer for a while, but Varogan was thoughtful.
"All strategies must be based on strength." Ren explained: "Dylan is now able to control Windfury Castle because he has the support of His Majesty and the Dragonborn Army. His personal strength is good, but those who really support him There are not many people, at least those vassals and lords did not completely obey him."
Dinglaji's eyes lit up, "I see."
"Don't give him the opportunity and space to develop his power." Varogan added: "Without money and no people, he can't train many Julu warriors. It's hard for him to do much by himself."
Ren nodded approvingly, "I don't need to say more about how to do it, it's nothing more than territory and ransom."
There are fourteen vassals and lords in the Lauberdil family. In the battle yesterday, eight died, and there are only six remaining. According to the aristocratic succession system of the Congatro Kingdom, a new lord is elected from the dead lord family, but he needs to obtain a monarch, that is, the canonization of the Duke of Lauberdil.
At present, Dylan is not the Duke of Lauberdil, and naturally he can't canonize a new lord.
Emily can use this to negotiate a condition, take the opportunity to deprive the ownership of a few territories, merge into the territory of the Drogon Castle family, and weaken the strength of the Duchy of Lauberdil.
In addition, the more than 4,000 extraordinary people who survived yesterday, including the six surviving lords, are still prisoners. According to convention, they must pay ransoms before they can go back.
This ransom requires the lion to open his mouth, and at least strip three layers of skin on the lords!
Both the land was ceded and the money was lost. The Duchy of Lauberdil couldn't recover within a few decades. No matter how much Dylan's mind was, it would be difficult to pose a big threat if he lacked money, land and people.
It can be said to be three birds with one stone.
Rowagen hesitated, "The territory is the most important foundation of the nobility, and depriving the territory is a shame that cannot be washed away. I am afraid that Dylan will not agree."
"There's no reason why he wouldn't agree."
Ren snorted, "If he dares to resist, then someone else will come up. There are quite a few members of the Lauberdale family in Windfury Castle. The most important thing in this world is careerists. As long as there is a chance to rise to the top, They're happy to sell things that don't belong to them in the first place."
"I don't believe it. There are hard bones in the Lauberdil family."
Dinglaji and Varogan looked at Ren with a bit of admiration and awe. It turned out that he was the most ruthless person.
"Why do you see me like this?"
Ren is a little strange, aren't these all routine operations? It is human nature to use power to exploit others.
"Hey...it's nothing, nothing..." Dinglaji started to flatter him, "Your lord is wise and wise!"
Varogan's rich face also squeezed a smile.
"Little sycophant." Ren said lightly, showing he didn't care on his face, but he still felt very useful in his heart.
On the third night, Emily finally summoned the desperate Dylan Lauberdil. In the hall of Windfury Castle, Ren and the two Speakers looked around, and Dinglaji and Varogan came forward to discuss with Dylan, and put forward a demand for territory and ransom.
As expected, Dylan refused on the spot, saying it was impossible.
He even got up angrily and wanted to leave the hall, but found that the three Speakers from Wezeland were staring at him, not daring to move, and then saw a strange and familiar person, a young Julu warrior, who was not familiar with the past. Eye-catching.
But this giant deer warrior is also named Robert Deer.
Dylan was shocked and angry, as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head, he dared not speak, and finally he could only suppress his anger and sit down again.
There are zero and no surrenders.
Dylan was not a person with a particularly strong will. It was because of this weakness that he lost to Mark in the competition for the title of duke. This time, he succumbed to this weakness and became the most disgraceful patriarch in the history of the Lauberdil family. .
After some negotiation, the Duchy of Lauberdil gave up five territories.
These five lords are all located in the northern part of the principality, and together they account for one-third of the entire principality's area. The actual loss is far more than the territory. The northern part of the duchy borders the former territory of the Drogon Castle family. There is a huge forest on the border, covering an area of nearly 20,000 square kilometers.
The terrain of this forest is complex and the environment is harsh. The interior of the forest is too dangerous for ordinary people, so it has not been developed yet and is inaccessible.
When the Drogon Castle Dynasty was still there, this forest was the hunting ground of the dragons belonging to the Dragonborn~www.wuxiaspot.com~, so it was called the Dragon Forest.
The Dragon Forest is divided into two parts, the northern part belongs to the Drogon family, and the southern part belongs to the Lauberdil family. Now that the Lauberdir family has lost one-third of its northern territory and no longer borders the forest, the entire dragon forest belongs to the Drogonburg family.
After the land is ceded, there is compensation.
The six living vassal lords and the three nobles who were about to continue their lordships were all called into the hall, and after some bargaining, Ren used the eye of the soul to secretly help Dinglaji and Varogan, and easily found out whether they said To be honest, they squeezed out the wealth of these people.
The Robdir family plus nine lords paid a total of more than 12 million gold dragons in ransom.
The money will all belong to Wizards of Wazeland.
Emilys announced the decision, and both Speakers Kadegar and Kleos showed satisfied smiles. In order to show their support for her, it took two days to set up a teleportation in Windfury Castle. Array, connected to Dragonstone Castle.
After Dylan saw the teleportation array, all his thoughts went out.
The dragonborn army stayed in Windfury Castle for five days before continuing to set off. Dylan did not dare to disobey the order, and he also took the transcendent army he had just conquered to the north and entered the dragon forest.
Ren has long been concerned about the dragon forest, because the mithril mine he needs is in the north of the forest.
