the next day.
Carter took away the 6,000 troops in Blackwater City, leaving the remaining 2,000, who were left to maintain order in Blackwater City.
However, the leaders of the two thousand soldiers were replaced by Carter's own people.
An army of more than 20,000 people, led by Carter, marched toward the next city in a mighty manner.
However, before they could get closer, the city was deserted.
The city lord has already rushed to the capital with thousands of soldiers. I don't know whether he has sealed the king's order or is colluding with Luosni.
Carter led the army and did not stop in this empty city. He passed through the empty city and continued to advance.
When they arrived at the next city, Domilo City, the young city lord Kamodo came out directly with an army of five thousand to greet them.
The Dannota family still has many loyal vassals.
Young Kamodo is one of them.
"Your Highness Princess, I have been waiting for a long time. I received news a few days ago that the Losni family has assembled troops in the capital and is preparing to cause chaos. We must rush to the capital as soon as possible to help Your Majesty."
Kamodo is tall and tall, about two meters tall, with a horn on his forehead, a resolute face, and a dignified appearance.
Carter sat on the horse, looked at him condescendingly, and then glanced at the five thousand soldiers behind him who were ready to go, and then said expressionlessly: "Kamodo, now, I am your majesty."
Kamodo was stunned for a moment, as if doubting his ears, and said: "Princess, you..."
Carter looked at him with cold eyes and said, "Please call me Your Majesty, Kamodo."
Kamodo stared at her in shock. After dozens of seconds, he suddenly held the hilt of the sword at his waist, took a few steps back, and said in a deep voice: "Princess, I have sworn allegiance to the Dannota family and to your majesty. . I led the army out of the city this time to go to the capital to assist His Majesty. If the princess has other plans, then I cannot accept it."
An orc general behind him sneered: "Sir, I have already told you that the news is true. Princess Carter has long since established herself as king. But you don't believe it."
Carter held the reins and looked at him with flashing eyes: "They are all the Dannotta family after all, aren't they?"
The orc general said with a sneer: "Of course not. Your Majesty is still alive today. Even if he encounters an accident and dies unfortunately, Prince Fern will still take the throne. Princess Carter is a girl. No matter how outstanding she is, even if she has made great contributions on the border, It’s not your turn to take the lead.”
Carter suddenly laughed and said: "So, do you want to be loyal to me?"
Kamodo held the hilt of the sword and looked at her firmly and said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, my allegiance is to Your Majesty. My city is also a gift from Your Majesty. I can never betray Your Majesty."
Carter squinted his eyes, nodded, and said, "Okay, then..."
She raised her hand and said coldly: "Kill them all!"
"kill-"
The orcs behind him immediately roared and charged forward.
Chu Xiaoye said quickly: "Carter, no!"
Carter did not stop the order, but turned to ask him: "Why not? Since you can't be loyal to me, then why do you keep them? Should you keep them and wait for them to suddenly turn against you?"
Seeing that the two sides had already fought, Chu Xiaoye said anxiously: "This team is loyal to your Dannota family. You can definitely use them to march all the way back to the capital. Moreover, there will be many loyal to your Dannota family along the way. army, if you kill them now, we will not get any help by then!"
Carter shrugged and said indifferently: "As long as they are not loyal to me, I don't need it at all. What I need is my own army, not someone else's army, you understand?"
Chu Xiaoye looked at the young city lord who had been stabbed several times and fell in a pool of blood, and sighed softly: "Carter, you shouldn't be so anxious and cruel. These soldiers will probably help you move forward."
Carter smiled and said: "Ye, you don't understand the orcs. The orcs only respect the strong, only fear the strong, and are only loyal to the strong. Your softness and kindness will have no effect here."
"Look, they all surrendered."
Carter suddenly pointed at the soldiers who were ready to resist just now, with a proud look on his face.
After Kamodo and several generals died, seeing that those who resisted would die, the five thousand soldiers immediately dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and announced their surrender.
"If I hadn't taken action just now, these five thousand soldiers would not be mine."
With a smile on his face, Carter kicked the horse on his crotch, took a few steps forward, and said loudly: "Swear allegiance to me and respect me as king, and you will be forgiven!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
First, her own soldiers raised their arms and shouted, and then the soldiers kneeling on the ground immediately started shouting too.
Chu Xiaoye looked at the corpse on the ground, and then at the high-spirited girl riding on horseback, and felt inexplicably blocked.
They rested in the city for a day and then moved on.
When we arrived at the next city, it was already five days later.
There are probably less than three days left before the capital city.
The city in front of you is tall and majestic. It is lined with castles and bustling with people. It is the second largest city in the Custer Empire, Binluo City.
There are 20,000 defenders in Binluo City, but most of them are used to maintain order. Even in times of war, they rarely participate in battles.
The city lord Mormont is a highly respected old man in his seventies.
He once issued a notice that anyone is welcome to Binluo City, but war is never welcome and he will not fight for any war.
He only hopes that under his jurisdiction, his residents can live and work in peace and contentment without being disturbed by any war.
The soldiers and civilians of Bingluo City loved and respected him, and called him the most merciful and greatest city lord.
When Carter arrived with an army of 30,000 people, Binluo City was still crowded with people and traders. The city gates were not closed and the soldiers were not on guard. It seemed that no one paid attention to them at all.
Two huge shadows flashed across the sky, two fire dragons.
The prosperous and stable Binluo City seemed to lack everything.
Carter led the army and came to the fields only more than a hundred meters away from Binluo City with murderous intent, looking at this ancient and wealthy city with twinkling eyes.
Chu Xiaoye pointed to the road next to the city and said, "We don't need to go through this city. We can just go from the side. There is a road there."
Carter turned a deaf ear and still looked at the majestic city with burning eyes. After a while, Fang turned around, looked at him and said: "Twenty thousand troops, countless wealth. Ye, you know, I Now that I have just raised an army, I still have to face many enemies. I not only need troops, but also money. Otherwise, no matter how much loyalty I have, it will eventually become a phantom."
Chu Xiaoye frowned and said: "But, you have said before that this city has always been independent of the world. Even in the most chaotic times, no force came to disturb it, because the other party had already sworn an oath not to participate in any battles. , whether it is justice or evil. Moreover, this city is the largest financial revenue of your Custer Empire, with business spread all over the country and even abroad. Almost every force will need it. Are you sure you want to bring the army in? Occupy it, or destroy it?”
Carter smiled and said: "I didn't say that. I just want to borrow their army and some wealth. My request is not high, and I think Mr. Mormont will definitely agree."
After speaking, she raised her hand and ordered the army to move forward.
At this time, the two pterosaurs hovering over the city suddenly let out a piercing cry.
When Carter led the army to the foot of the city, an old man with snow-white hair and seven or eight young orcs came out quickly on horseback.
"Princess Carter, is there any place where Mormont can be of service to you?"
The old man is the lord of this city. He is thin and thin, with two broken horns beside his ears. His face is full of wrinkles, but his eyes look bright and his spirit is quite strong.
His smile is so warm and refreshing.
Chu Xiaoye was secretly worried about him. This old man was so bold that he came out with seven or eight young people without any guards or even sounding the alarm. Didn't he know how important he was to this city? Sex
Or maybe he thinks that every force in Custer will keep their promises and will not have any dissatisfaction with this city
Or maybe he knew Princess Carter and simply thought that the former Princess Carter, or the current Queen Carter, was still the Carter Dannotta he once knew
"Lord Mormont, long time no see."
Carter said calmly, but did not dismount.
The silver-haired Mormont climbed down from the horse, looking trembling, and was supported by a girl who quickly jumped off the horse.
"Princess Carter, Mormont is at your service if you need anything."
The old man still said with enthusiasm.
However, Carter said with a half-smile: "I am very happy to hear Lord Mormont say this. This time I lead the army back to the capital. I need only two things, troops and money. These two things, I believe Lord Mormont It’s all there, isn’t it?”
The smile on Mormont's face was still warm, and he said: "Of course. The things in Iceluo City are still very rich. It cannot be said that everything is available, but most of the things are still available. I have already prepared the two things that the princess wants. You are ready."
As soon as these words came out, Carter was stunned and said: "Already ready?"
Mormont smiled and nodded, and said: "Yes, the gold coins for five thousand troops and five carriages have been prepared for the princess. If it is convenient for the princess, she can get them today."
Carter frowned and stared at him for a while. Fang suddenly smiled and said: "Lord Mormont is really generous, but I need more troops and gold coins than this."
Mormont raised her head, glanced at the dense army behind her, spread her hands, and said: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, this is all I can give. If you give too much, others will not be able to share it. , they will definitely not give up. Please forgive me, Your Highness the Princess."
Carter looked at the eight young men behind him and said, "Mormont, these are not your guards, right?"
Mormont smiled and said: "I am here to see Her Highness the Princess. Why do I need to bring a bodyguard? These are my grandchildren. They have been admiring the princess's style for a long time and always want to see the princess's style. They are by my side. This one is called Duoya, she has always wanted to go to the border, join the princess's command, and fight alongside the princess."
The girl who was supporting him quickly lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, I hope to get your permission."
Carter looked at her with twinkling eyes, and the murderous intention in his heart seemed to be wavering, but this was only a short wave.
She suddenly raised her hand and said: "Then, Lord Mormont, you and your grandchildren will join me, be loyal to me, and serve me."
Immediately, the orc soldiers behind her suddenly rushed over and surrounded the old man and the young people in front of her.
Chu Xiaoye looked at the orc girl intently, and the scene on the grassland suddenly appeared in his mind.
Doya... Doya...
They just have the same name and surname, so how could it be that poor little lioness
Mormont was a little surprised and said: "Princess Carter, you..."
Carter stopped talking nonsense with him and said: "Lord Mormont, I need your 20,000 troops and all the wealth here. If you are willing, you can be my subordinate and swear allegiance to me. This will still be the city in the future." The lord of the city.”
Mormont shook his head directly and said: "No, Your Highness, 20,000 troops are too many. Binluo City is not another city. There are people from all over the place. An army must be needed to maintain law and order. Moreover, everything you said Wealth, that's even more outrageous. The wealth of Ice Loch City does not belong to me, Mormont, nor to the Dannotar family or other families, but to all the people of Castor Country. Your Highness, you can't do this. "
Carter drew out the sword from his waist, looked at him coldly and said, "I insist on doing this, so what?"
"Your Highness."
The girl named Duoya looked at her weakly and said, "Please don't hurt my father, okay?"
Carter narrowed his eyes, pointed the sword directly at her, and ordered coldly to the orc general next to her: "Kill this girl first! Let's see if our Lord Mormont is willing!"
The orc general was about to take action when Chu Xiaoye suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
He looked at the girl next to him, as if he didn't recognize her, and said coldly: "Carter, you can't do this."
Carter smiled and said: "Ye, you are my strategist. I will naturally consider what you say. However, there are some things that you cannot participate in. You are an elf and do not know our orcs. There are some things that I must Cruelty must be solved with blood. I need the army and wealth of this city, I have already said that."
"But you can't use this method!"
Chu Xiaoye said angrily: "The city lord has come out, and he has also brought his relatives. They are all children who admire you. They trust you and respect you. The city lord has already offered to give you five thousand troops and five carriages in gold coins. Well, Carter, you should feel satisfied and grateful, instead of being so bottomless greedy and cold-blooded!"
Carter stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly looked at the girl next to Mormont, and suddenly smiled: "Ye, you don't have a crush on this delicate and frail girl, do you? If so, Now, just say, you're welcome, I won't kill her, I'll just leave her for you to enjoy. You can enjoy her tonight, I'm serious."
"Alyssa!"
Chu Xiaoye suddenly shouted this name, looking really angry.
"I say it again, you can't do this!"
Carter suddenly jumped off his horse and walked quickly in front of the girl. With a flash of cold light in his hand, he cut her throat!
"Ye, let me say it again, this is not the grassland, this is the Custer Empire! And I, Carter, am the king here now! The only queen! What I said is the order!"
She turned her head and looked at the elf boy on the horse with a cold look.
The girl covered her neck and fell to the ground, looking at her with wide eyes and at the princess whom she had admired for many years.
She didn't know why this happened.
Chu Xiaoye held the reins in his hands tightly, looking at the familiar girl in front of him with strange and cold eyes, anger burning in his eyes.
He didn’t know why the Alyssa he knew became like this
Perhaps, this orc girl is no longer the little lioness she once was.
He was a little sad.
