Chapter 248: Breaking the City and Looting Wealth
When he was two kilometers away from Huoye City, Dred left his mount, floated in the air, and drew his weapon.
On the city wall, the white-haired old man looked at the enemy who appeared in the air, his face changed drastically, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
Only the soul-level strong can float in the air. Seeing this, he seemed to have seen the end of Huoye City.
"Quick, aim at the air and fire for me."
The warriors behind the four magic cannons heard the order and embedded a mid-level magic crystal into the groove.
The next moment, the four magic cannons began to charge.
Only ten seconds later, four energy balls flew out of the magic defense sky at a very fast speed and rushed straight towards Dred.
Under the mask, Dred smiled contemptuously, holding the knight's sword tightly with both hands, charging and slashing, a huge fiery red blade appeared, slashing through the sky, cutting the four energy balls in half, and detonating in the air.
The power of the fiery red blade did not decrease, and it collided with the magic defense sky.
The huge storm spread around, and the earth began to tremble.
Even two kilometers away from the magic sky curtain, Weilin felt a gust of hot wind blowing past.
The white-haired old man looked at the looming magic defense sky curtain, and before he could react, he jumped off the city wall at the fastest speed.
Before he landed, the second fiery red blade followed, and the magic defense sky curtain that everyone had high hopes for was shattered.
The aftermath of the attack continued, and the 13-meter-high city wall was shattered.
Thousands of soldiers on the city wall were thrown into the air. The lucky ones fell into the city and survived by chance. The unlucky ones were torn to pieces by the aftermath and turned into blood and flesh.
The white-haired old man who escaped by chance stood up with the help of the soldiers, looked at the ruined city wall, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Raise the white flag and surrender."
The officer received the order, tore off half a piece of white cloth on the side, found a long spear, and hung it up.
Just two attacks destroyed their hopes, and fighting again was no different from sending themselves to death.
Weilin, who was far outside the city, looked at the scene in front of him, and then looked at Dred in the air, his eyes gleaming.
"Attack."
With Weilin's order, except for the escort squadron, the other soldiers, led by the officers, maintained their formation and marched towards Huoye City with steady steps.
The smoke dissipated, and Dred saw the scene in the city clearly, fell from the air, and returned to his beloved mount.
This old red phosphorus horse did not have too many magical powers, just because he was a nostalgic person.
"General Dred, awesome." Looking at the mysterious man on the side, Weilin thought for a long time and finally said this.
Dred's eyes revealed calmness, without the momentum just now, and said lightly: "Master Weilin, you are too kind."
Because of Dred's action, everything became so ordinary.
When the defenders of Huoye City saw the army of the third battalion, they knelt down and begged for surrender directly, without any intention of resistance.
The soldiers of the third battalion did not make things difficult for this group of people. They collected their weapons, took them outside the city and kept them under guard, waiting for the arrangement of the superiors.
Soon, the escort squadron entered the city lord's mansion, drove out the idlers, and officially took over the place.
Weilin, Draide and others entered the city lord's mansion and looked around. It was in line with his guess that it was indeed a dog-rich family.
Not long after, the white-haired old man and important officials of Huoye City were brought to the hall of the city lord's mansion.
At the head was a young man.
The masked strong man who frightened him was sitting below.
Seeing all this, he instantly understood that he was being brushed off by the other party as a military achievement.
However, all this is not important. What needs to be done now is how to completely retain his family and the ruling status of Huoye Territory.
As for Hengens Castle, there are still 15,000 troops. In front of this person, it is just an extra trip.
"Respected sir, Dornk Hengens of the Hengens family greets you." The white-haired old man took a step forward, knelt directly on the ground, bowed his head and saluted the young man in the upper position, with a lonely tone in his respectful tone.
"Dornk Hengens, I am very curious. Although Chris Province is located in the central area of Braham Principality, it borders Nanshi Province. Why did you turn to the Northern Army?" Weilin looked at the old man who was about to be buried and asked curiously.
"Sir, the ancestor of the Hengens family was the knight who married His Highness Kaia's grandmother. Although he finally transferred to the Grand Duke, now that the Grand Duke has passed away, thanks to this connection, and His Highness Kaia occupied the capital, we will turn to His Highness Kaia's Northern Army."
"Okay, everything is over. Now I have the final say in the Fire Leaf Territory." Weilin roughly knew the reason, so he was not in the mood to learn about the other party's family history.
"Three days later, I will send an official letter to the Southern Army Command."
"Now, you can go down. If you have any questions, you can find my attendant Kyle."
Hearing the other party's words, the white-haired old man understood instantly, saluted respectfully, and was then taken away by the soldiers for detention.
"General Dred, you have made the greatest contribution this time. I am going to give you half of the profits of Fire Leaf City, and the other half will be distributed to the soldiers in the battle. As for Born Willich's army, one million gold coins will be enough for them."
"I thank you on behalf of the soldiers of the third battalion." Dred stood up and saluted, saying to Weilin.
Welin stood up and stepped forward to help Dred up: "The person they really should thank is you, my general. Without you, how could they easily break through Fire Leaf City."
That night, a handwritten letter from the white-haired old man was delivered to Ikalon Hengens.
The next morning, Hengens Castle opened its gates and surrendered, and Ikalon, the Earl, was also escorted to Huoye City to wait for processing.
As a promise, Weilin would not touch anything in Hengens Castle, but the Hengens family needed to pay 20 million and 500 gold coins for redemption and compensation.
In Huoye City, after three days and three nights of looting, the wealth obtained formed a thick book.
Thanks to Weilin's military order, this looting operation only targeted the wealthy families in the city.
For this order, all the members of the Third Battalion agreed with both hands. It would be more fun to go to the wealthy families to loot the land than to make money for the common people.
"About 35 million gold coins, about 130 million silver coins, and too many copper coins to count, so I haven't counted them yet."
"Three sets of extraordinary armor, six extraordinary knight swords, 63 sets of excellent warrior equipment, 660 sets of excellent warrior equipment, 3,800 sets of iron armor, 5,400 sets of leather armor, four magic cannons, and about 30,000 other weapons..."
"One thousand eight hundred intermediate magic crystals, twelve thousand low-level magic crystals, nearly 30,000 magic pearls, more than 430 elementary magic books and elementary knight breathing methods, and 170,000 other related books..."
"Twenty thousand kilograms of fire shell powder, one thousand three hundred bottles of thermal solvent..."
