Throne of the North

Chapter 65 I'll cover your retreat!

After the parliament ended, Ryan met with Archduke Moriarty again.

Ryan didn't exchange much pleasantries with this guy.

"I think you should know that the Crucible City is no longer the same as before. The Archmage has already planned to evacuate."

"Evacuate?!"

The archduke looked at Ryan in shock.

"Where else can we retreat? Could it be..."

Ryan shook his head and said:

"Instead of breaking through the sanctuary, I plan to go further south and find hope on the glacier."

"The flames of the Furnace City can no longer resist the cold of winter."

Ryan spoke, and the facts he told made it impossible for the Archduke to remain calm and rational.

"The mages are preparing resources for evacuation, but I think if the Crucible City cannot withstand the cult's attack, many nobles will be unable to leave."

"If those demon descendants enter the Crucible City, do you think they will go to the east? Or to the west?"

There are two parts, east and west, one part belongs to commoners and slaves, and the other half belongs to nobles and mages.

Food can only appear in the hands of nobles and mages like them.

"So, before that, we must block the cultists' attack."

"Keep them out of the Crucible City so that the nobles can safely follow the Archmage and leave."

"Grand Duke, you don't want to have to flee for your life in a hurry, right?"

Archduke Moriarty looked at Ryan.

"Wittman, this matter..."

"Leave this matter to me, but I need food to cheer me up. Otherwise, how can those hungry mud-legs stop the devil's descendants? You also know that the last time the cult invaded, it was all thanks to the mages. 's spell."

Moriarty nodded and agreed.

"I will give you food. You must resist those evil cults."

"Don't worry."

Ryan patted his chest and said, then turned around and left here, heading to the Mage Academy again.

In front of the Amethyst Archmage, Ryan still had firm eyes, as if he was a battle-hardened warrior.

"Those cultists are here for food, but the abyss demon behind them needs a sacrifice of flesh and blood."

"I think you are not willing to let the academy's mages go to the battlefield before leaving."

"If you can't stop the attack of these cults and the Melting City is occupied by the cults, your plan may not be able to be completed. Then, on the vast glacier, without the protection of the fortress, the cults will pursue them again, and everything you took away will Out of 5,000 people, how many will survive in the end?”

Archmage Amethyst looked at Ryan, and after a long time he said:

"What do you want?"

"Food, food that can at least allow half of the people in the Melting City to survive this winter."

"With food, I can send them to the battlefield to fight the cultists."

"At the same time, I also want to ask you for a means. In the last war, the cult showed up with a lava giant. If you leave, I can't think of any way to stop such a monster. The Furnace City will still be breached."

"Food can attract those cultists to pay attention to the Crucible City, and a large number of well-fed soldiers can attract the attention of demons. At least before the flesh and blood of the Crucible City is sacrificed, those demons' relatives will not hunt down them. you."

"I will stay here and give you a break."

"I swear on the name of Viscount Wittman that for three months, at least three months that will allow you to leave, the cult will not cross the Crucible City."

"As for three months later, maybe I will die, maybe I will become the only lord noble in the Crucible City."

It is impossible to get food from the mage by talking about human relationships and supply relationships. The only thing that can be talked about now is profit.

In the end, Ryan got nearly half a million kilograms of food from the Mage College. The Mage College was indeed wealthy.

After placing the grain in the granary, Ryan asked Harrington and Brand to guard it with some people.

On the other side, Archduke Moriarty and some nobles also joined forces and sent part of the food to Ryan.

In three days, the entire Crucible City seemed to have come to life. Whether it was civilian slaves or noble mages, they were all very nervous and making their own noises.

Ryan took over the defense of the Crucible City, but there were no soldiers under his command. The five hundred soldiers who were supposed to be standing on the city wall had been called back by their respective nobles.

After knowing the truth, these nobles were no longer willing to use their wealth to fight with outside cultists.

Lane could only temporarily mobilize slaves and told them that as long as they became soldiers, they could eat two meals a day.

This temptation soon caused the city walls to be covered with fearless soldiers. They suffered a lot of hunger, and now they felt that nothing was more terrible than hunger.

What's more, the cultists outside looked similar to them, with sallow faces and thin muscles, but their eyes made people feel scared and uncomfortable.

On the fourth day, the cultists began to attack. The hungry cultists rushed towards the Melting City with claws and teeth. Facing the tall city wall, they used siege ladders made from felled tree trunks to climb up. Hitting rocks one after another, these cultists soon suffered a bloody blow.

"These useless losers, hurry up and rush forward!"

Outside the Crucible City, in the cult's base camp, a middle-aged man in a black cloak roared angrily. On the bone scepter in his hand, there was a blood-colored gem inlaid. The people next to him seemed to be devoured by their souls just by looking at it.

"Your Highness, activate the Blood of the Abyss directly."

"Otherwise, it is impossible for those mud-legged people to rush into the Crucible City."

"If we activate the Blood of the Abyss now, what should we do next? Do we have to fight in person after entering the city?"

Urtado looked at the elder who spoke next to him, and he wanted to hit the other person's head with a scepter to violently open the melon.

"But the Lord said that the mages in the Crucible City are running away. If we can't sacrifice the flesh and blood of those mages, the Lord will punish us..."

Hearing this, Urtado trembled all over, thinking of the appearance of the flesh and blood slaves who were sacrificed before.

"Let all the slaves charge. As long as we can open the gate of the Crucible City, we will directly launch the Abyss Blood and let those people feel the extraordinary army from the abyss!"

...

In the south of the Crucible City, huge waves with hair like ice crystals dragged a huge team and left towards the depths of the glacial ocean.

On the coast, Ryan held a purple crystal with extremely violent magic factors in his hand, and watched the team disappear from his sight calmly.

Back in the Crucible City, there was a deafening roar from afar, but Ryan believed that Brand and the others could hold on.

He came to the nobles' council again. There were not many people here, and there was no noble left.
