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 the year round.
This is the largest castle that 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 magic circle arranged on the city wall. This magic circle is very ingenious. Using the high-density wind element power in the special windy weather, only a small number of Julu warriors or warlocks of wind blood can be activated. 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.
As the sun sets, the dragonborn army marches into Windfury Keep.
Dylan Robert Deere stood at the inner city gate of Windfury Castle and shouted loudly: "Welcome Her Majesty the Queen to Windfury Castle!"
"Qing Dylan, you did a great job." Emily smiled and looked satisfied.
"Serving Her Majesty the Queen is the greatest honor in 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.
Along the way, everyone already knew something 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 The elites from the Principality of Fisher, they can monitor the behavior of the captives, and if the captives defect, they still have a chance to take down 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 installed Mark or those who raised objections were placed. All were executed swiftly.
There are not many troops left behind at Windfury Castle, only a few hundred people, and their strength is relatively weak, and there is almost no ability to fight back under a sudden attack.
Not only did Dylan successfully take down Windfury Castle, but he also cleared away dissidents in an open and fair manner.
Even now that Emilys is leaving with the army, he can firmly control Windfury Castle and become the de facto ruler of the Duchy of Lauberdil.
Ryan took a deep look at Dylan Lauberdil.
This person is not simple 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, attended by only a few nobles and lords; 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.
Then he began to lash out at his brother Mark, calling him a usurper, betraying the Drogonburgh 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 Hold?
Mark hasn't returned to Windfury Castle for decades, and he no longer regards himself as a member of the Duchy of Lauberdil!
If Mark hadn't 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, very agitation.
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 the expulsion of Mark 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, along with three majestic dragons, 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 superior person possesses great power beyond ordinary people, the effect will be even better.
Compared to King Mark, who wears the title of Duke of Lauberdil but hasn't returned for decades, a noble dragonborn who can be seen standing in front of his eyes, a 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 Dragonborn's return.
Mark in Stormfury is a thing of the past.
Ren looked on indifferently, 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 next to him.
Both of them were used to hiding behind the scenes, so they did not follow Emily to the stage. Their faces were a little complicated, and they were a little wary in their joy. nine cakes in Chinese
Delighted because he successfully won Windfury Castle, conquered the Duchy of Lauberdil, and gained the support of the people.
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 never 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 understand."
"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 were 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 cannot be canonized as a new lord.
Emily can use this to negotiate conditions, take the opportunity to deprive the ownership of several 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 supernatural beings who survived yesterday, including the six living lords, are still captives at the moment, and as usual, 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 for him 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, "Territory is the most important foundation of aristocracy, and depriving it is a shame that cannot be washed away. Dylan probably won't 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 in need in this world are 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. The Lauberdil family is full of hard bones."
Dinglaji and Varogan looked at Ren with a bit of admiration and awe at the same time. It turned out that he was the most ruthless person.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ren is a little strange, aren't these all routine operations? It is human nature to use power to exploit others.
"Hey... nothing, nothing..." Dinglaji began to flatter him, "Lord Lord is wise and wise!"
Varogan's rich face also squeezed a smile.
"Smoker." 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 Robert Dill. 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 at all, and then saw a strange and familiar person, a young Julu warrior, who was not familiar with the past. Eye-catching.
But this Julu Warrior was also named Lauberdil.
Dylan was shocked and angry, as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head, he dared not speak his anger, 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 Lauber Dier family. .
After some negotiations, the Duchy of Lauberdil gave up five territories.
These five territories 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 north of the duchy borders the former territory of the Drogon family. There is a huge forest on the border, covering an area of more than 30,000 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 around, this forest served as a hunting ground for the dragons belonging to the Dragonborn.
That's why it's called the Dragon Forest.
The Dragon Forest is divided into two parts, with the northern part belonging to House Drogon and the southern part belonging to House Lauberdil. 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 vassals and lords and the three nobles who were about to continue their lordships were called into the hall. After some bargaining, Ren used the eye of the soul to secretly help Dinglaji and Varogan , it is easy to find out whether they are telling the truth, and squeeze out these people's wealth.
The Lauberdale family plus nine lords paid a total of more than 12 million gold dragons in ransom.
The money will all belong to the Wizards of Wazeland.
Emilys announced the decision, and both Speakers Cadgar and Kleos showed satisfied smiles. In order to show their support for her, a teleportation array was set up in Windfury Castle in two days. , connect to Longjing Island.
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 extraordinary 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.
