Sellon was very dissatisfied with this siege, very dissatisfied!
I originally thought that this time I could fight to my heart's content and harvest thousands of delicious souls. However, the opponent's defense was so weak that they didn't even have any decent resistance, so they were blasted open the city gate. It only took two hours. When the time comes, the battle will be over.
Not only were there no large-scale elven troops in the city, but even the civilians in the city had already evacuated. After killing the guards, what Sellon finally got was only about a hundred souls, even more than before. Not even as good as those Pegasus knights! How could Sellon be happy
In vain, he even stayed for a day to repair the siege equipment, but he didn't expect that it was of much use at all.
During this battle, Roy only secretly captured a few larger souls. He did not take any more. After all, the number was too small and could easily be discovered. After the battle, Roy found He came to Sellon and said: "Your Excellency Sellon, there should be a large number of troops in the city, but for some unknown reason, they withdrew!"
Roy didn't need to say this. Of course Sellen could see it, so he asked Roy doubtfully: "Why do you think they withdrew?"
"Hmm..." Roy pretended to think for a moment before saying, "I think it's probably because a stronger enemy has appeared..."
"What do you mean?" Sellon was stunned for a moment: "Besides us, where are the stronger enemies?"
"Of course there is!" Roy said in an affirmative tone: "Isn't that the one with Mr. Riska? Maybe it's because Mr. Riska's side is attacking other cities, so the elves here led the team to support. In addition, Apart from this, I can’t think of any other reason for the elves to withdraw.”
Sellon laughed angrily and said: "How is this possible? Supporting another city will cause the city here to fall. The druids of the elves are not that stupid. Besides, what's wrong with Riska? Might it be stronger than my army?”
"It might not be possible at the beginning, but it's not necessarily the case now!" Roy said in a profound tone: "Your Excellency Sellen, with all due respect, you have received additional troops, could it be that Your Excellency Riska Isn’t there any supplement over there?”
Sellen was stunned for a moment: "You... you mean..."
"That's right, that's what I mean. Lord Ignatis at the rear should be responsible for replenishing the troops, right? Then, it's not him who has the final say on how much to replenish for which side!" Roy said with twinkling eyes. : "What if the number of troops he summoned was far more than this, but only a small part was given to us, and most of the rest was given to Riska?"
Sellon stopped talking. If this is really the case, then the military strength on Riska's side is definitely stronger than that on Sellon's side. You know, it was originally agreed that Ignatis was going to summon, Most of them should be mid-level and high-level demons. Even if the number of high-level demons is small, their combat power far exceeds that of low-level demons. Now I have only added some evil gods here, and none of the high-level demons are missing. Who knows what Ig is doing? Did Natis not summon them, or did they all go to Riska
Roy's words directly planted a thorn in Sellon's heart, but he couldn't help but said: "It shouldn't be right? What are the benefits of Ignatis doing this?"
"With all due respect, Lord Sellon!" Roy heard this and said: "If I remember correctly, when Lord Riska and Lord Ignatis came to join you, they arrived together. Right?"
"Indeed..." Sellon nodded.
"So, do you think it is possible that Mr. Riska and Ignatis have reached an agreement on the way here?" Roy continued to be seductive: "For example, he will bring more military power Supplement it to His Excellency Riska. In this way, the combat power of Your Excellency Riska's army will be greatly increased, and the efficiency of attacking cities and lands will be much higher. In exchange, the soul obtained by Your Excellency Riska... "
When Roy said this, he shut up and did not continue, but his meaning was already obvious, and Sellon couldn't help but think wildly.
Yes, maybe the two guys have really reached an agreement secretly. Let me tell you, that guy Ignatis is willing to stay in Castlevania instead of coming out to fight. I bet they have already discussed it. Yes!
When Sellon thought of this, he couldn't help but start to calculate. Riska's side would be able to obtain more souls due to the greatly increased combat power. If he didn't know it, he would calculate based on his own harvest. Ska can hide the extra souls and not pay for them. In the end, the two of them secretly share the spoils, but he gets nothing... Bastard! How could they do this!
Sellon was finally "awakened" by Roy's words! He couldn't help but cursed Riska and Ignatis in the most vicious language.
After cursing for a while, he finally came to his senses and asked Roy: "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise, I might have been kept in the dark. Now tell me, what are we doing?" What to do? Go back and question Ignatis?"
"No, no, don't do this!" Roy shook his head and said: "Your Excellency Sellen, have you ever thought about it? If you question Your Excellency Ignatis's unfair distribution of troops, then Your Excellency Ignatis will have an excuse. Well, what if he lets you stay to summon troops while he leads the expedition himself? Then the two of them will be able to hide their profits unscrupulously... "
Sellen suddenly realized that indeed, this matter could not be made clear to Ignatis.
"Your Excellency, you have also seen that because Lord Riska's military strength is so strong, even the elves think he is a threat. They would rather abandon the city to support the tribesmen in Lord Riska's attack route!" Roy Said: "In other words, this is equivalent to Lord Riska taking away the soul benefits that originally belonged to us. If we continue to let it go like this, our gains will be less and less by then!"
Sellon nodded and said: "I understand. For now, the only way is for us to rush in front of Riska!"
The overall strength of the elves is just that, almost fixed. If Riska kills more, Sellon can only kill less. Under such circumstances, all Sellon can think of is to steal heads. .
He has been led astray by Roy at all. In fact, the evacuation of the elven troops has nothing to do with Riska. In fact, Sellon only needs to send a messenger to Riska. You can understand it by looking at the situation of his troops, but now that Sellon is so angry that he has never thought of this, his mind is now filled with thoughts of how to compete with Riska for heads.
So next, Sellon's troops began a new round of rapid march, heading deep into the Kingdom of Erathia along the established direction. As a result, he gradually lost touch with Riska's troops!
Roy watched all this silently. It can be said that this was all promoted by him secretly. Because of the war letter, the elves realized the real goal of the devil and began to shrink their defense lines, while Sellon was jealous and resentful. Still having greedy thoughts at work, he began to lead his troops deep into the city alone. By then, he would very likely run into an ambush by the elves who had assembled a superior force! Without the support of Riska and Ignatis, his prospects are definitely not good.
All of this was caused by just a letter and a few words from Roy. Although these small actions were very simple, they hit the key points, and the consequences were quite serious... Since becoming a devil, Roy himself I also found that I have become good at using these tricks and conspiracies. I don’t know if it is the devil’s talent that is at work...
Of course, since Roy is also in Sellon's army, when Sellon is in danger, Roy will also be in danger.
Therefore, the next step that Roy has to consider is how to escape. The battlefield is very dangerous, and saving one's life is the first prerequisite. Only after one's life is saved can one have a chance to escape from Sellon's control...
