How to wear a goddess statue

Northwest border, Sutton City.

In the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious robe sat on the main seat. He was in a high position, but he was trembling and fidgeting.

At this time, the middle-aged man was listening to his subordinates report on the military situation outside the city.

"My lord, the Sanur people have already climbed up the opposite hill, and their flags are lined up. I'm afraid they will attack soon!"

The soldier who conveyed the news lowered his head and reported in a hurried tone, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

As a border city, Sutton City's city defenses are naturally very complete. Due to its natural terrain advantages that are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is located behind Digbia City, it has not encountered many threats in the past.

In order to prevent the Sanur people from bypassing the Digbia defense line and raiding the city from the uninhabited mountainous area, there are still a lot of troops stationed here.

However, the defenders of Sutton City, who had not experienced much actual combat, were far behind the Frontier Legion in terms of combat capability.

Even the Tigbian garrison couldn't stand against Sanur's barbarian army, so what about them?Can they really resist the enemy and wait for reinforcements from Wangcheng or other cities?

The haze of war and death enveloped the army, and also surrounded the people who settled in the city, and people were panicked.

At this time, they need a banner, a reassurance, and a superior who can stand up and inspire people.

The soldier raised his head and looked up at the castellan anxiously.

He doesn't expect the city lord, who is a nobleman, to fight in person and defend against the enemy with the generals, but as long as the city lord is willing to stand on the city wall and give an impassioned speech, they can be greatly encouraged.

I beg you to stand up, I beg you—

However, after hearing the report, the city lord turned his head to look at the staff behind him, and asked anxiously: "They are coming soon, what should we do, what should we do now? Can you surrender..."

The staff member on the right shook his head: "Surrender is not acceptable. The Sanur people are cruel by nature. It is said that they will sacrifice the heads and hearts of captives to gods. Their culture does not have the concept of letting prisoners of war go."

The staff on the left suggested: "Before I suggested that you wait and see the situation, but now the Sanur army is about to approach the city, and the situation is critical. If you don't leave, it will be too late for the opponent to surround the city."

Another staff member said: "Yes, the city lord and the nobles here are both noble, how can they take such a risk. In my opinion, we should evacuate quickly!"

The officials present all echoed, some hesitated to speak, and some officials questioned: "What are you talking about now? The officials and nobles are gone, what about Sutton City?"

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately criticized by many rebuttals.

"It's really strange what you say. It's like grown-ups don't do things right."

"The troops of Sutton City can't hold it at all, and the Lord of the City wants to ask for help from other cities in person!"

"Since you are so unhappy, you should stay here."

The city lord had already stood up, hurried to the backyard, and told his attendants to pack up his clothes. The soldiers who stayed in the hall looked at his back, and could vaguely hear a few words of conversation between the city lord and his staff.

"The road is not safe, I need military guards!"

"You only need to bring a small group of elite soldiers, otherwise it will slow down your progress."

The voice of the conversation gradually faded away, and the soldier's expression also became bewildered. Looking around, there were only a few officials left in the hall, and none of the nobles were seen.

Even the great men escaped.

Can they really hold Sutton City?

The soldier knew that he should go back to his companions, and told everyone the reaction of the city lord and others with difficulty—but his legs and feet were as heavy as lead.

There is no doubt that this news will spread doubt and despair to all.

Not long after, the city lord reappeared with his wife, children and several lovers, and hurried to the outside of the city lord's mansion.

Soon, they and other noble officials will flee from the hidden paths of Sutton City. As for the punishment for abandoning the city, it will be a matter later. The most important thing now is to survive.

As soon as the city lord left, the city lord's mansion was in chaos. The servants and slaves outside the hall ran and shouted, trying to pack up the valuable things in the mansion and escape in the chaos.

The soldier lowered his head numbly, and he didn't know how long it had passed before he staggered to his feet.

Colleagues have to be prepared...

At this moment, the movement outside the hall stopped abruptly, as if someone had pressed the mute button, and all the chaos and noise could not be heard.

Instead, there were uniform footsteps that almost seemed to be made by the same person, but it was impossible for one person to make such a loud noise anyway.

Such a massive movement stopped outside the hall, revealing the frivolous and scattered steps mixed inside, still moving forward, one of the steady and powerful steps was particularly distinct, as if it could catch people's cochlea.

Following the direction of the sound, the soldier looked back and saw the owner of the footsteps.

Black hair, black boots.

The visitor was tall and straight, with a beautiful face, and the armor reflected a metallic luster under the sunlight, cold and sharp.

And this kind of brilliance is also reflected in her eyes, which are as bright as gold.

The soldier's eyes were only fixed on the pattern printed on the armor.

Everyone knew that it was the coat of arms of the royal family of Solan. In today's Solancia, there are only two people who can use this crest openly.

"Hall, Your Majesty..."

The soldier murmured softly.

The visitor's gaze had already swept over, her gaze was sharp and majestic, with a slight scrutiny, but soon she recognized the identity of the soldier and nodded slightly.

"Go back and tell them I'm here."

Currently, there are only two people who can use the royal coat of arms. One is His Royal Highness Neymar who lives in the City of the Sun God, and the other is of course Ailu, who sits in Acht and is known as the ruling princess. His Majesty El.

The soldier was stunned for a second, then suddenly gave a military salute: "Yes!"

At this moment, it doesn't matter whether the city lord stays or not. The titular princess and the actual ruler personally come to sit in the town. There is nothing more inspiring than this.

But before running out of the hall, the soldier's eyes inevitably stayed behind the princess for a moment.

It was the city lord and his party who were being escorted by the guards. They were dressed in luxurious clothes as before, but they were in a mess. They didn't have the joy of escaping from death a moment ago on their faces.

Rotas, who was floating in mid-air, also landed her gaze on these people, then she retracted her gaze and looked at Eleuil again.

In order to increase the speed of the march, Eleuil and several generals led an elite cavalry to gallop day and night, and finally arrived at Sutton City.

As a matter of course, a group of people entered the city from the east gate far away from the direction of the Sanur people. When the guards on the city wall saw the royal flag, they did not dare to ask people to interrogate and stop them.

But someone looked flustered, as if he wanted to report back to the city, and Aleuil asked his personal guards to restrain him.

I thought it might be a spy placed by the enemy, but it turned out to be a sentinel that the city lord put here when he was about to abandon the city and flee.

Eleuil: "..."

The princess led the army forward with a blank face, and before she had gone far, she bumped into a dozen low-key carriages head-on, and escorted these nobles back to the city lord's mansion without any suspense.

With the enemy at hand, the lord of a city fled without making any resistance.

The level of absurdity and hatefulness is no less than that of the Lord Di Simon who embezzled money during the earthquake disaster.

"There is no divine power of foreign emotional gods here. Their thoughts and practices are completely from the heart."

The clear and quiet voice of the river goddess only rang in the ears of the princess.

Eleuil did not speak. In the closed and empty hall, even a soft whisper could be detected by someone with excellent hearing. Therefore, Eleuil only raised the corners of his lips to show that he heard it.

In the eyes of the noble officials in the city, this tiny smile meant that they would not be held accountable, which made them heave a sigh of relief.

If you think about it, there are so many people who are trying to leave the city early, the law does not blame everyone, not to mention the fact that it is impossible for the princesses to be punished one by one in this special period.

However, this self-comfort slowly disintegrated, and fear rose again.

Because from the moment they stepped into the city lord's mansion, the princess never cast any eyes on them again.

Eleuil just casually sat down at the main seat in the hall, and quickly found the city defense map and topographic map of Sutton City and its surrounding areas, as well as some other materials from the file on the table.

Aleuil unfolded the scroll and looked at it quietly.

The atmosphere in the hall was frozen, and no one dared to break the silence at this moment.

Luotus tilted his head, his blue eyes were half-downcast, and his expression was complicated.

On the table in front of Aleuil, two ravens had parked at some point.

One of them raised its head and stared silently at the princess's concentrating face, while the other lowered its head to look at the map with the princess, and there was no expression on the bird's face.

Rhodes sighed quietly.

Only she could see these two ravens in this hall.

Finally, when the city lord and the others became more and more afraid, and were almost frightened to the limit by the princess' attitude of letting go, Eleuil took his eyes off the scroll.

The deep golden eyes raised at the end of the eyes swept across the hall without pausing on the few people who were trying to escape, as if they were just unimportant decorations.

Finally, she looked at the few people waiting aside. They were officials who did not flee with the city lord and wanted to stay in the city to resist with the soldiers and civilians.

"Where is the prison?"

Eleuil asked.

The official was taken aback, and subconsciously replied: "It's not far behind the City Lord's Mansion, it's just..."

"Please lead them there."

Does this mean that the guards will throw the nobles into prison?

Before the official could speak, the city lord raised his voice in disbelief and shouted, "Ai—Your Majesty, are you joking? I am a royal in-law and the ruler of this noble family. You can't treat me like this!"

"Is it."

"Of course it is! We didn't intend to abandon the city and run away, but, just wanted to go out to seek reinforcements." The city lord seemed to see hope, swallowed and said, "It's great that you are willing to come from the king's city, please rest assured, We will assist you in mobilizing the troops of Sutton City—"

Eleuil interrupted him.

"Now, staying quietly in prison and not causing trouble is the greatest contribution you can make."

Although this sentence was scary and only a temporary result without going through the trial court or the royal court, it was like a real sentence when it was said from Aleuil's mouth.

There were even some nobles whose legs softened and showed fear in their eyes, but the personal guards didn't care about it, and followed the officials according to the order, and wanted to "place" these guys in prison.

Afterwards, Eleuil didn't take a rest, and immediately rushed to the city gate, looked at the Sanur army stationed on the opposite hill from a distance, and had a discussion with the generals defending the city.

It wasn't until the evening that Aleuil had the time and space to stay alone in the temporary residence.

The architectural style of Sutton City is not exquisite, but the interior space of the house is quite large and very spacious.

Eleuil closed the door, went to the window and put down the curtain, waiting for Rhodes to appear in the dim light that filled the room.

The spirit version of Rhodes looked at the main gods around him, and coughed lightly: "Ai Lu, it's like this... My colleagues are also here."

So you get ready.

Aleuil raised his eyebrows slightly, then quickly understood what this sentence meant, and his expression froze for a moment.

At the same time, the flames of the burning candles in the room shook abnormally, and the candle shadows projected on the wall also shook accordingly. When it stopped dancing, there were already several tall shadows on the wall.

Representing the main combat power of the Soran pantheon, the eight main gods gathered together in the room of the human world.

The appearances are different, each has its own merits, at least from the appearance, it is quite in line with the human conception of gods - of course, this one was also overturned when seeing the god of the sky.

Among the eight gods, except for Rhodes, each of them had an inexplicable dazed and curious expression on their expressions.

Eleuil lowered his head and met the eyes of the two ravens hopping over.

Eleuil: "..."
