The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 169: Not the enemy! You are attacking friendly forces!

A few minutes ago, Bad Genia would never have thought that the invisible thorn beast and the ambush in the luggage compartment of the carriage could be exposed so easily.

What he could not have expected was that after these things were exposed, the man in front of him would actually choose to forgive him.

And after the in-depth talks that followed, he was glad that his choice was correct.

The other party chose to forgive him, not because they were afraid of the wealth, power and strength revealed by his things.

Quite the contrary, it is because in the eyes of the other party, the reforms that he has carried out over the years are like a child playing house, and the wealth that he has accumulated is like a grain of gold sand in a warehouse, while his strength is even weaker.

"That's about it. I will send people to support you in your work. If you want to learn something, you can also come to study with me."

"Since you are willing to uphold justice and fairness, I will naturally help you. When it comes to saving the people of the small kingdom of Womuza and upholding their freedom and dignity, our general direction is the same."

Listening to the other party's intimate words, Bad Zegna just lowered his head deeply.

"I am terrified... I was really rude during this meeting. If you allow me, I would like to go back and prepare, and then spend some time preparing an apology gift."

The apology is secondary; the main task is to maintain stability on both sides.

We must not let down this gentleman in front of us, and we must not quarrel with each other.

You know, the fact that the two of them could sit down and talk together was a result of their mutual respect and intense discussion about the same goal.

However, the harmony between the two superiors does not mean that the people below also have an optimistic and positive attitude.

Rather, it is precisely because both of them appear too tough and outstanding in their respective spheres of influence that the current situation has become extremely critical.

Needless to say, Kronos, the daughter of the Mels family, has never been kind to the people from the Mud City since she discovered the problem at the beginning. During the entire meeting, she kept one hand on her waist, as if she was ready to draw her weapon and fight at any time.

After all... the master was humiliated and the minister died, and Lord Abes was almost assassinated. How could she, the daughter of the Mels family who had guarded the hero's coffin for a thousand years, and the leader who held important responsibilities in all affairs of the royal capital and Sweet Leaf Town, not be angry about this?

Over in the Slime City, the elite guards all had unclear expressions throughout the entire process.

For them, they certainly knew that their city lord's trip was to show the power of the Mud City, and the invisible thorn beasts and ambushes were just a kind of insurance.

If they really have no intention of negotiating, then they can simply mobilize all the military forces of Slime City and charge directly towards the scheduled meeting place.

In their hearts, there is no two suns in the sky. They have witnessed the efforts and hard work of their city lord over the years. Before they understand the content of the conversation between the two leaders, they are probably filled with resentment.

In their opinion, their own city lord is the most correct and civilized candidate.

However, the situation before them made them dare not take a step forward. The main reason was that the huge holes on the magic carriage were still showing the opponent's monstrous power.

Before, when the other party did not restrain their momentum, even this group of well-equipped elite soldiers could still feel extraordinary pressure.

If they are not careful, they will probably all fall to their knees.

But the more they felt suppressed, the more unwilling they felt.

This must be the result of barbarism suppressing civilization through violence...

Without asking, Bud knew that his men must have thought so.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Bad Zegna feels particularly anxious.

We must go back immediately and give them some scientific education, so that they know that the people in the royal capital are not enemies, nor are they ordinary collaborators, but rather leaders and teachers!

Go back immediately and tell them that the situation has changed.

There are no enemies in the royal capital, don't attack, don't attack!

He never expected that the prestige and power he had accumulated in order to reform the Slime City, and even the smear campaign against the royal capital deliberately carried out in order to prepare for the confrontation with the royal power, might now lead to an embarrassing result at any time.

For example, Bad Genia now really wants to follow Abes and the others back to the capital.

I want to see with my own eyes the scene of the new city area that the adult talked about being rebuilt.

I want to see what a truly energetic Northerner looks like.

But he could imagine what his loyal subordinates in the Slime City would do if he chose to follow them and leave instead of returning.

They must have thought they were being kidnapped and robbed.

If someone accompanying them explained the real situation, they might also think that this group of people had surrendered to the enemy.

Before he could finish thinking and give the other party a proper and polite farewell response, the thing that Bud was most worried about happened.

Someone launched an attack!

Mint, the female warrior of the Minqin tribe who was following him, suddenly patted the equally transparent gel-like pony under her crotch, and charged towards Abes, swinging the sledgehammer in her hand with great vigor.

Seeing that the female warrior of the Minqiu tribe had taken action, the other guards stopped pretending and started attacking with the weapons they were most comfortable with.

"Don't! Don't fight! We are one people..."

"Mint, stop! These are all friendly troops!"

Bard opened his mouth to explain something, but the order had not yet been conveyed. As if they were waiting for this moment, the two people accompanying Abes on the left and right immediately took action.

The silver-haired girl holding a long sword came close and held Bud hostage with her weapon. "I knew you had evil intentions."

The blond double helix with elf ears stretched out his arms lazily.

She used magic... No!

She was using the same strange arm armor as those soldiers.

She, along with the soldiers wearing strange arm armor who were surrounding each other, raised their left arms in unison.

Buzz-buzz-!

As they clenched their fists, there was a series of low buzzing sounds, followed by a large ball of fire.

Following their line of sight, it landed with extreme precision in front of each charging guard.

At this time, Bud didn't care that he was misunderstood by the other party. At this moment, he was holding a weapon against his neck, "Don't fight! We are one people! Put down your weapons, these people in the capital are all one people!"

And Abes had been chatting with Bud for more than 40 minutes, and he naturally knew that the Bud in front of him was not that kind of person.

The reason why such things are happening on both sides now is that the subordinates on both sides are too nervous and too loyal.

"Kronos, Anivia, and all of you, stop it!"

He also began to stop the fight between the two sides.

In addition to signaling that he would withdraw, he also had the capital to use some more practical methods of persuasion.

"…What a nuisance, Fury!"

----------

It took some effort.

The situation was finally under control when those elite guards once again witnessed what it felt like to have the force that could break through the magic shield hit a chain mail vest.

Bard also took great pains to finally calm down the followers and guards present.

The situation is a little bit more troublesome with Bohe, the female warrior of the Minqiu tribe.

When Abes was competing with his opponent, he was actually unbalanced in strength for a while, and even his attacks felt like hitting a water bed.

After that, he accidentally cut a large piece of "jelly" from the opponent's waist and finally got the situation under control.

However, just when Abes felt that he had won and released his weapon, the jelly girl in front of him began to slowly gather and grow again.

Fortunately, during this time, Bud took great pains to explain to her for a long time and made some promises, and Mint finally gave up making a fuss.

At the same time, Bad Zegna, who was relieved, finally realized another big trouble.

A large group of Minqiu people who stayed in the city of Slime!

Although this special race has huge advantages in close combat, it also has many disadvantages.

For example, intelligence is worrying.

According to their people, Mint is already the smartest and most reasonable individual.

That is to say...

It takes a lot of effort to convince this group of people that I am not compromising or pretending to be busy.

Before, I had finally managed to get this group of transparent plastic-clad big guys, who were both capable of healing and fighting, to swear allegiance to me based on their determination to protect [that thing] together.

Now he turns around and says that his plan to expand his living space in order to protect [that thing] and to take down the king to control the entire small kingdom has run into problems and needs to be changed.

Why change it? Because the people in the capital are no longer enemies, but friends.

They are more than just friends. It would be best if you were as loyal to them as you are to me.

……

Headache...stomachache...

Anyway, Bud just didn't know how to start.

These stubborn guys may not be able to correct themselves in a short period of time.

Otherwise, if I don’t go back today, these stubborn guys might take up weapons and come to “save” me.

Or, later on, these people will feel they have been manipulated and betrayed, and will secretly add parts of their own body parts to food and drinks to disembowel themselves.

"Really... ahem, sorry to have embarrassed you. Some of my friends from the Wenqiu tribe are too straightforward. If I don't go back and explain things clearly, I don't know if something unexpected will happen in the Soft Mud City."

Bad Zegna was a little dusty and had some sword wounds on his neck.

As for Abes, since there are no stubborn people like the Min-Qing people, things seem much more normal.

Although Kronos was easily excited, he was still very receptive to advice and was naturally calmed down with just a few words.

In order to express his apology, Anivia, the half-elf druid, offered to heal the wounds caused by Kronos' weapons.

----------

During the treatment, Bard glanced at Anivia curiously.

Although the blonde double-helix half-elf in front of him could definitely be called a beautiful girl, Bard did not look at her strangely. What he cared about was the strange arm armor on her hand.

Now he finally knew what the notch at the end of the triangle was for.

And, as luck would have it, another shortcoming of the Minqiu people is... they are afraid of fire.

Bard was very sure that the ignition function of these strange arm armors was definitely not aimed at the Minqiu female warrior beside him.

After all, the Minqiu tribe was willing to provide someone to accompany them on the journey here, which was completely a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Moreover, the arm armor on the soldiers' arms clearly showed signs of wearing and training.

That is to say, they have had these things for some time, so this is not something specific to the Min-Qing tribe, it's just a coincidence.

Although the conflict just now did not last long, the perceptive city lord still obtained a lot of information.

For example, the flame it spews out is a magical flame.

Because the drifting directions of those flames are quite random and spontaneous, it is a manifestation of the magic flames obeying the consciousness and minds of the casters.

Flame arrows? Even though it was just a trick, it was still a form of magic.

In other words, these soldiers are all mages? Or at least a spellcaster?

In other words, although they were holding rapiers and wearing studded leather armor, they were a large group of mages?

No, no, no, that's not right.

Becoming a battle mage, or arcane knight, is not an easy path to achieve.

It is the function of those things worn on the arms. It is not an ordinary arm armor, but a new type of weapon, a new type of weapon that can spray magical flames.

After thinking about it, Bud finally came to some reasonable conclusions.

Now that the royal capital has been taken, there must be a lot of light explosion particles, the magical explosives that are well-known in most of the northern territory.

The man in front of him might have a large amount of magic explosives, so it is not impossible that he has created a new magic prop that can spit fire.

And such speculation made Bud feel sincerely happy!

He chuckled, causing the blond half-elf who came closer to treat him to roll his eyes at him.

Bud did not show any displeasure about this.

Great! The other party might be stronger than I thought. This pledge of allegiance was a good bet.

This is much better than joining General Paddy, who refuses to look people in the eye.

Although at present in the small kingdom, the warlords in other places have not yet completed the integration like General Paddy, and they have no energy to spy on the northeast corner.

However, the crisis of the small kingdoms has not been overcome. Only by uniting can they survive the upcoming warlord chaos.

After the treatment, the two groups parted ways.

After walking for a long time, Bad Genia, the lord of the Mud City, suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Oops, I forgot to ask the other adult's name!"
