I kissed the statue at the beginning and I vomited all over the floor

Chapter 211 Political Conspiracy Outcome Theory

"Sir River, I believe that Nield's mining rights are very, very important to you."

After pouring another cup of hot black tea for the handsome gentleman opposite him, Xiuman smiled and spoke.

"We've been working together for so long, and believe me, I wouldn't want to change to someone else to provide me with crystals every month."

Maybe the cup of black tea was a little hot, and beads of sweat appeared on Sir River's forehead.

"Lord Shuman, I am happy to take back Nield.

But I, I am not armed enough to fight against those sick and mad halflings..."

The young Lord Xiuman tapped his fingers alternately on the ceramic long-necked kettle filled with black tea, making a very rhythmic and crisp sound.

"Don't worry about that, Sir River, there will be someone to take care of it for you and me;

But you have to assert your sovereignty before they succeed in taking Nield."

"You mean..."

River was stunned for a moment. He guessed who Xiuman was referring to as "someone", but he was a little unsure.

“That’s right, Revo.

The eldest daughter of Councillor Vallam had set out this morning with a force of more than five hundred men;

We should be near the Nield Mine by now."

"You want me to set out now to steal the fruits of Senator Valaam's victory..."

"Steal? Sir River, you are such a bad politician.

Political correctness lies in its results.

It doesn’t matter what happened during the process.”

Xiuman stood up, picked up the bell on the table and shook it a few times.

"I will give you a team of sharp professionals of good rank...

Although there are not many people, it will not be difficult to keep Valam’s daughter in Nield.”

Ruiwo picked up the teacup and put it to his lips. His lips were trembling now, so he could only hide behind the teacup to avoid being discovered by Xiuman.

"Oh! By the way, the two investigation teams I sent over earlier...

If they do find out something, there’s no need to take them away from Nield.”

……

Although Nield's fighters are few in number, Annie, as a paladin, is not completely without military qualities.

As early as the conflict occurred, she realized that Nield was a huge pit.

It is definitely unrealistic to defend on top of the pit.

Just standing in a circle above the mine, I'm afraid that even if the entire population of Nield were added in, it would not be enough, not to mention that there are only forty or fifty fighters at present.

So Annie had no intention of defending the top of the mine, but instead deployed the first line of defense under the ladder.

As long as Neild's several ladders are destroyed immediately, the invading troops will not be able to pass.

The invading troops can't just jump down from the sky one by one...

The second line of defense is the outer wall of the town that he, the halflings, and the miners had built with slag and wooden blocks these days.

This wall, which looks to be only as tall as an adult, is filled with stones and metal debris and is not very durable, but it is better than nothing.

Now Annie and the combatants are hiding behind this wall, and several halflings are rushing to destroy the hanging ladder.

"Yani! Yani!"

One of the halflings ran back in a panic, rushed to the wall and shouted to Annie.

"The ladder on the west side cannot be destroyed yet...

Miss Larrel and the hooded half-elf just climbed up there!"

"what?"

Annie and Percy were startled. This was not good news.

Percy put the shield in his hand back on his back, jumped out of the wall and ran towards the hanging ladder.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get them back!"

"Percy!"

Yani yelled.

She really wanted to tell the city guard that for Neild's safety, she would order the ladder to be destroyed before he returned.

But he was unable to say it until Percy ran far away and started climbing the ladder.

Maybe I am still too weak, Yondala, please forgive my weakness and indecision...

On the ladder, Larrel had already climbed to the top with Xiling.

The troops in front of him, flying the flag of Huiyao City, were less than a hundred yards away.

Lariel reached into his bosom and pulled out a holy emblem, a thin piece in the shape of a small shield, engraved with a balanced scale hanging on a war hammer, representing the fairness and justice of Tyre.

"I am a priest of the Tyr Temple in Radiant City!"

Larrel opened his voice and shouted at the opposing troops.

"The investigation into Nield is still ongoing, please do not suppress it with force!"

Worried that the other party couldn't hear his voice, Larriel cast a sound amplification spell on himself.

"The investigation is still ongoing! Do not suppress it by force!"

But after shouting several times, there was no response from the other side, instead, they moved closer to him step by step.

A hundred yards was not a long distance, and the leading humans on horseback quickly came in front of Larriel.

In the middle is a woman, and judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to have the blood of any other creature.

"Priest Tyr? How come I didn't know that the Temple of Justice had sent out a priest?"

The woman wearing a horned helmet and showing a sharp lip glanced at Larrel and no longer paid attention to the pastor lady.

Instead, he began to look at Xiling, who was wearing a hood next to him.

"And who are you? You're not half-human in height."

"Druid of the Gray Forest.

Human, if you don't want to go to war with the Gray Haze Forest, it's best not to act rashly."

"Gray Haze Forest?"

The woman was obviously a little surprised, but her actions did not stop at all because of this sentence.

"After my army has dealt with those troublesome halflings, who would know that a priest of Tyr and a druid died in Nield?"

After she finished speaking, without waiting for her to give any orders, a human who looked like a warrior next to her pulled out a war hammer from the horse's neck and smashed it directly at Larriel.

"careful!"

Compared to Liane, Xiling is not proficient in close combat;

But for Larriel, who specialized in healing magic, the half-elf's reaction was much faster.

Xiling rushed forward, grabbed Larrel's robe and pulled it back, barely avoiding the war hammer that was heading straight for the pastor's head.

Since joining the Church of Tyr, Larriel has never experienced a battle.

She sat on the ground in a daze, still holding the shield-shaped holy emblem in her hand.

The second enemy also jumped off his horse, brandishing a broadsword and slashing towards Xiling.

The half-elf lady blocked the attack with her spear. The fine gold plating played its role, and the spear head knocked a gap in the broad-bladed sword on the opposite side.

But then, a deadly crossbow arrow shot from the middle of the team at a very hidden angle and hit Xiling directly in the back.

Xiling, who was trying to fend off the broadsword, had no way to avoid it...
