Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

Just when Nicholas was puzzled, a man shouted from outside: "My lord, Nicholas-sama! Generals! Frontline information!"

"Come in!" Nicholas said loudly.

Then a lean and capable little man broke in. He was covered in mud and his hair was knotted. He was sweating profusely from running, and the greasy sweat dripped down from the stains on his face.He said out of breath: "Da Da... Your Excellency, I have one, one... one piece of information!"

"Drink your saliva first." Nicholas poured him a cup of tea himself, then looked away with disgust, not looking at this guy's dirty face.

The man was flattered, thanked him quickly, and drank the water in the glass in one gulp.After a while, he took a breath and said, "The members of the reconnaissance team got the internal intelligence of the Northern Expedition!"

"Inside information?"

Upon hearing this, Nicholas and the staff present all pricked up their ears, and they came over and asked, "What internal information?" Nicholas asked loudly, "How did you get the internal information of the Northern Expedition?"

Nicholas knew very well what was going on with his investigation team. It was very difficult to get out of the city in this environment. How could they get Leoric's internal information?

Hearing this question, the little man's eyes flickered, and he said: "There are some bold goblin merchants who wander around the edge of the camps of the two armies at night, selling all kinds of luxury goods that the soldiers are in short supply, such as medicinal herbs, Drinks, dehumidifiers, and dry insoles, that's where the news came from."

Nicholas said: "Tell me."

"There are three pieces of information." The little man took out a report and read: "First, Leoric was unable to attack the city for two days, and he was very angry. He also said that he whipped the soldiers, which caused dissatisfaction in the army."

Nicholas rubbed his chin, wondering: "No, didn't you say that Leoric has always been tolerant and benevolent in running the army? How could he whip the soldiers? Could it be the fake news that Leoric deliberately released?"

The little man said: "Probably not. It is said that the person who was beaten was Leoric's favorite succubus. Many people heard the screams. It is said that they were hung up and tortured for most of the night before they stopped. It can be seen that Li Orik is really angry."

"I see." Nicholas nodded, "Any other information?"

The little man continued: "There are two more. The goblins said that the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army were keen on purchasing dry food, wine and sugar, and had little interest in other things. Our captain speculated that the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army lacked food and clean fresh water So much so that they don't buy tobacco, nor dry clothes and shoes, but use it all to buy food."

At this time, someone said: "That's not right! Leoric's logistics supplies should be very strong. He seized the spoils from the Crow King, he has the resources of the Wild Wolf City, and he also captured the Imperial City and Haiyan City. War feeds war, definitely enough to feed [-] Northern Expeditionary troops, not to mention [-], he can feed even [-] troops! How could there be a lack of food?"

This man was Nicholas's logistics officer, a gruff, fat man with a mustache.

A weather researcher next to him said, "It might be moldy."

"get mouldy?"

"Yes, it's moldy." The scholar was wearing a blouse and sandals. He was clean and there was no trace of mud between his nails. He said slowly, "Leoric's Northern Expeditionary Army is used to fighting in the north, and underestimated the swamp. In this weather, no matter how much food there is, as long as it is not kept properly, there will be mold and worms without exception."

The logistics chief said: "I don't think Leoric would make such a low-level mistake."

The scholar smiled and said, "Judging from the performance of the past two days, Leoric is not a very high-ranking general—in fact, he has only been famous for a few months, right? He may be good at martial arts, but he can't do everything. , for example, his brain is not very smart, and he didn't expect the food to go moldy!"

"This is so naive..." The logistics chief shook his head.

But Nicholas said: "I think what Bachelor Tharp said makes sense." Nicholas obviously agreed with the clean and decent scholar, "Leoric can't cover everything, and it's also possible that the food is moldy. Didn't we have one last month?" Has the granary been damaged?"

The logistics officer said: "Then the Northern Expeditionary Army will not be short of food!"

The respectable scholar named Sapp continued: "No! Leoric only walked from Haiyan City to Bachelor City for three days. Although we still haven't figured out how he completed this rapid march, but the march In this matter, speed and quality cannot be achieved at the same time, if he wants to achieve speed, he will definitely abandon the heavy supplies—maybe he doesn’t bring much supplies.”

"That makes sense." Nicholas nodded slightly.

The logistics officer had no choice but to acquiesce when he saw the attitude of the university scholar.

At this time, the young little man continued: "There is another heavyweight piece of information!"

"Say!"

The little man said, "Leoric's cannon may be broken!"

What?Leoric cannon broken?

Eyes widened in the meeting room, and there was no sound.

Chapter 190: What the hell is Leoric doing?

Everyone hurriedly asked the soldier to elaborate.The little scout said mysteriously: "This report was not written because the captain dared not say that he was dead, but he still asked me to tell everyone about it, so that wise adults can judge."

Then he cleared his throat and said, "Listen to the goblins, Leoric's shell went off last night!"

"It's very possible!" A bachelor jumped up and said, "I heard an explosion outside the north city wall last night. I thought it was Leoric's people coming!"

"Cannonball? Fire?" A bearded general looked puzzled and said, "Aren't the shells all solid iron balls, or granite blocks? How could they go off?"

Nicholas gave the rude general a contemptuous look, and said, "The lava cannon Leoric used is not a big iron ball! The lava cannon is a goblin's technology, a demon's technology, and the shell is stuffed with explosives. It's going to explode, so there's a possibility of a misfire."

"Yes, yes! The goblin merchants said that they saw the fire in the camp and heard the screams of people!"

Hearing this information, Nicholas' thoughts became clear immediately, and his logic became clear—oh, no wonder Leoric didn't use a cannon to hit me!It turned out that there was a problem with his own cannon.Leoric's cannon was seized from the Crow King, and the number of shells is scarce. Without the shells, the cannon is just a decoration!

It seems that Leoric is a thug who can only use force after all, and the military discipline is not strict. In addition, their logistics supply has problems, and the morale of the army is floating!

God help me, really God help me!

Sure enough, I am always right. My knowledge, my courage, and my luck are all above Leoric. He will lose to me after all.

Nicholas said loudly: "If the information is true, then Leoric will jump over the wall soon! Maybe Leoric will appear on the stage in person tomorrow!" Nicholas sneered, "This guy is a grasshopper after autumn. It won't be long!"

Nicholas suddenly remembered something, and asked the soldier, "By the way, who found out all this information?"

The little soldier smiled innocently and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm here."

Nicholas waved his hand: "Okay, record special merit, go down to receive the reward! After the battle, I will make you a knight."

"Thank you, sir!" The little soldier quickly knelt down and saluted.

At this time, a general came forward and said, "Soldier, why haven't I seen you? New here?"

The little soldier was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said with a smile on his face: "I am under the command of Captain Appel. I was new here a few days ago. It's normal that you haven't seen me. This is my dog ​​tag!" Said Then he took out a wooden card from his pocket, the lieutenant general looked at it, then nodded and said, "Well, young and promising."

Nicholas glanced at the general, snorted coldly, and said, "Okay, that's the end of today's meeting! Let's collect Leoric's body tomorrow!"

After speaking, everyone left the conference room happily, and the little soldier came out with him. As soon as he went out, someone handed him a bag full of gold, saying it was a reward from Duke Nicholas.The little soldier took it over with gratitude, and then left quickly.The strange thing is that this guy didn't go to the camp, nor did he spend a lot of money in Huajie and Liuxiang, but sneaked into an uninhabited alley.

This guy first carefully checked whether there was anyone around, then threw the gold on the side of the street, and then shouted to a window: "Miss, Miss Succubus, I have completed the task."

Pushira opened a slit from the window, took a look, and then hooked her fingers, beckoning him to go upstairs.The little man panted heavily excitedly, then climbed up the stairs.As soon as he went up the stairs, he smelled a tangy fragrance. The little man took a deep breath, walked quickly to the stairs, and said, "Miss Succubus, where are you?"

The door of the corridor opened with a "squeak", and an ambiguous pink-purple light flowed out from the crack of the door. The little man looked over there, and saw a succubus in a black rubber suit standing at the door, his face painted with smoke. Makeup, stepping on exaggerated high heels.His whole body was bloody, and his excited nose was blowing like a cow.He stepped forward quickly, opened his arms and said, "Miss, is it okay now?"

"Don't be so anxious." Pushila hooked his chin with the whip, and said, "Let me ask you a few questions first."

"Okay, you say it, you say it!" The little man put his hands on the belt buckle, bent slightly, like a monkey waiting to mate.

Pushira said: "Has the news been given to your captain?"

"Give it!"

She nodded in satisfaction and said, "Did the captain stamp the report?"

"Give it up, I saw it with my own eyes!"

"And did you bring the news to Nicholas? Did he believe it?"

"I believe it, I believe it firmly!" The little man said proudly, "Nicholas even rewarded me with gold, here, right at the door!"

Pushila showed a charming smile, "Very well, your task is completed,"

"The task is completed, can you give it to me?" The guy said as he was about to take off his pants.

"So you can go die."

Saying that, Pushila stabbed the guy in the stomach, and at the same time the electric current injected into the guy's body along with the weapon, the little scout didn't even have time to shout, he was killed on the spot.

Pushilla pulled out the knife, lightly shook the blood on the knife, and sneered disdainfully.

Still want to do it with me?What are you thinking?

Only the lowest-level succubi would use their bodies to charm the enemy, like the promoted "Blood Princess" like Pushila, who would tease her with a few words, and then cast a charm spell with their eyes, and the enemy would be fascinated by her.

Priscilla's mission has been completed, so next...

She heard footsteps downstairs and saw a hideous goblin trader walking towards her.The goblin merchant frowned when he saw the corpse on the ground, and said, "Have you completed the task yet?"

"Well, that's it."

"Okay." The goblin merchant clasped his hands together, and turned into a bunch of butterflies. These butterflies fluttered in the air, spun around, and gathered together again, turning into a blond girl in a hoodie. Romila, queen of elves.

The succubus stepped on the body of the corpse, and rolled a certain hard organ with a pointed high-heeled shoe viciously, and said at the same time: "Sister, have you settled your affairs?" These days, the relationship between their harem Once they got acquainted, Pushila began to call other people sisters, of course, not by age, but by the order in which they were married.

"I did too." Romila took off her hood, revealing her emerald eyes, "The news went out for a walk according to Leo's arrangement, and now not only Nicholas knows about it, but also the residents of the city. I have no doubts about this news.”

"Okay, then I'll clean it up." Pushila said as she moved the corpse into a large wooden barrel and poured a bottle of potion on the corpse. When the corpse met the potion, it immediately had a strong chemical reaction and melted quickly. It became a puddle of blood and broken bones.Then Pusilla poured another bottle of black liquid, and many small worms appeared in the water immediately, and these small worms began to devour the remaining substances, and soon, the entire corpse completely disappeared.

Romila waited quietly outside while the butterfly kept watch. After all this was done, the two put on black cloaks and walked out quietly.

"Oh, by the way, this guy still has a bag of gold!" Pushila said suddenly.

Romila laughed dumbfounded, and said, "You are really greedy."

"The succubus doesn't leave empty space, it's either stealing sex or stealing money!" Pushila found the gold bag from the corner, weighed it, and stuffed it into her pocket with satisfaction.

"Okay, go home! Then it's up to the master."

"Ah."

Romila turned into a black butterfly, Pushilla spread her wings, and the two left quietly under the cover of night.

……

On the third day of the siege, after the ineffective bombing of the previous two days, the Northern Expeditionary Army did not seem to have learned its lesson, and it was still the same in the morning.The defenders of Nicholas were very calm. It was time to reload the ammunition, it was time to shoot, and it was time to move the boxes. After a morning, the city walls were basically fine, with only sporadic casualties, and they even smashed a long arm of Leoric. Catapult, the battle situation is quite good, and everyone's morale is high.

However, in the afternoon, the Northern Expeditionary Army suddenly withdrew all the trebuchets, and replaced them with heavy armored soldiers, charging vehicles, and ballistas with stronger power and higher accuracy, and Leoric himself also went into battle. Holding a saber and shouting orders, it seems to be organizing a general attack.

This is actually the first time that Nicholas's army saw Leoric's true face. Leoric's reputation spread far and wide. As he defeated the barbarian king and marched all the way south, legends about him spread everywhere in the swamp.Although the Northern Expeditionary Army's performance in the first two days seemed not to be ideal, this did not affect the generals' curiosity about Leoric.Those who have binoculars use binoculars to see, and those who don't have binoculars scratch their heads and wait to see.I saw that it was a knight riding a white horse and wearing silver armor. He looked to be just 20 years old, with a tough face, only a trace of childishness in his eyebrows and eyes.When he is quiet, he looks like a handsome boy, the type that young girls like most; but once he moves—whether it is talking or walking, the majesty on his body will make people feel shocked and murderous The vigorous appearance is daunting.

At this time, he was patrolling in front of the army on horseback, with a battle flag on his back, and a very strong steed under his lap. As he walked, his silver helmet and silver armor would glisten in the sun.Nicholas observed Leoric with a telescope, and he could feel a suppressed anger in Leoric.

When Nicholas saw this scene, he was overjoyed and thought: Here we come!Leoric really couldn't help it!

Then, a knight of the Northern Expedition Army came out alone with a blue messenger flag and walked towards the city wall of the Bachelor City. It seemed that he had some information to tell them.When the two armies were fighting, Nicholas raised his hand to let the soldiers put down their bows and arrows, and said, "Let that guy come over."

At this time, the knight came to the bottom of the city wall and said loudly: "I am the messenger of the Northern Expedition Army, to convey to you the persuasion of the Northern Expedition Army commander Leorick." He raised a roll of parchment with his left hand, and then put the It is tied to an arrow, and an arrow is shot at the city wall.The strength of the messenger was really great, and the arrows were firmly fixed on the battlements, and Nicholas asked someone to fetch them.

It was a letter of persuasion written by Leoric himself, and the content was nothing more than something like "If you turn your back on your arms and surrender with courtesy, you will still be a Marquis, and the country will be safe and the people happy, wouldn't it be beautiful?" Situ said.

In addition, it is written in eye-catching red pen, super large fonts, and easy-to-understand vernacular:

I only persuade you to surrender once. If you don’t cherish the opportunity, then I will kill one when I enter the city. Think about the fate of the Jagbo family, Duke Nicholas, think about it.

Nicholas did not take this solemn warning to heart.He thought: Leoric, who are you scaring, you brat?You are the one who should kneel down and beg for mercy.Wait until the ancestor god lifts the seal—no, maybe without the ancestor god appearing, I can clean you up today.

Besides, even if I surrender, Leoric will not really spare my life.

Nicholas knew that Leoric would not really come to persuade him to surrender, and Leoric must also know that he would not surrender, but he just went through the process here, which can be regarded as implementing procedural justice.

Nicholas thought to himself; since I don't surrender, I should show a tough attitude.

So he picked up the letter of persuasion and said loudly, "Tell Leoric! The one who should surrender is him, not me!" He tore up the letter of persuasion, and threw the pieces of paper away. city ​​walls.Seeing the pieces of paper falling like snowflakes, the defenders in the city wall burst into laughter, as well as cheers and ridicule; but the messenger of the Northern Expedition Army calmly said, "General Leorick said that he doesn't want to Let the tragedy of the Jagbob family repeat, so he made an exception and gave you another chance, you can put your own family, and other innocent people who did not participate in the war, into the town church and tie white cloths around their wrists, Then Leoric will spare their lives."

When Nicholas heard this, he burst out laughing and said, "I don't know if your general is hypocritical or naive. Let me tell you, the whole family of Nicholas is fighting side by side with me. You can't use this method to shake our spirit." The morale of the army shakes the loyalty of my family members. As for the other innocent people? Hmph! All the people in the city of bachelors are loyal believers of the ancestor gods and noble plateau warriors! No one will surrender to you thieves!"

Seeing that he did not repent, the knight said, "Okay, I will report the truth to Lord Leoric." Then he turned and left.

Those on Nicholas' side thought they had overcome the enemy in momentum, and cheered again, and some threw stones at the messenger, whistled, and taunted him.

Nicholas felt a little uneasy in his heart. This feeling was hard to describe, but it lingered in his heart, which made people very uncomfortable.

Leoric, what the hell are you doing?

Group 18②Yi 77

Chapter 190 Five: Leoric's death is approaching!

Nicholas maintained his identity and did not throw stones and curse like those mud legs.He just watched the Northern Expeditionary Knight leave with a look of contempt, and saw that man walking straight in front of Leoric.He said something to Leoric, and then saw Leoric fly into a rage!Even five hundred paces away, Nicholas could hear him roaring.

This roar surprised Nicholas, and he even forgot to sarcastically say "Leoric became angry with embarrassment"; the same was true for the soldiers present. Pale and speechless.

Nicholas regained his composure, and then he came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Leoric is very angry, which proves that our tactics are very effective! According to the art of war, the more angry the enemy is, the more successful our tactics are. Soldiers Let’s continue to fight in this state, victory must belong to us!”

Nicholas used the theory in "The Truth of War" to stabilize the morale of the army. After hearing his words, the soldiers admired him very much.

"Leoric is likely to launch a fierce attack in the future, and even jump over the wall in a hurry. Don't be afraid, everyone, just continue to follow my command! You must remember that fighting is not only about brute force, but also relying on brains! Leoric Ke is just a reckless man, but I am a well-known academician! His wisdom is far inferior to mine."

Just as Nicholas expected, Leoric immediately gave the order for a general attack.I saw the infantry regiment in the front raised the battle flag, and there was a deafening horn sound from behind, and the soldiers of the Northern Expedition finally slowly advanced towards the city wall.Leoric took the lead, and he held up the "Eyepeck" and shouted the barbarian language.Nicholas could understand that, and what he said was:

"The fresh heart is beating, and the flesh is still warm! The maggots on the rotten flesh are also sweet and just right."

"Greedy crow! Can't you smell the blood?"

"The feast of crows is about to begin, how can the Crow King be absent?"
