I Have A Game Clone

79 Crushing the Enemy

Ning Shi, however, was already prepared. He originally wanted to strike first and gain the upper hand, but he did not expect Marco to be faster.

“Are Marco and Gray together now?”

“Marco and Gray are at the City Hall. First Prince Chapman has already taken the teleportation array back to the capital to report to His Majesty Joerger about Prince Alesia’s death.

The other great aristocrats noticed the tense situation in Rose City and also took the teleportation array to leave. At present, the teleportation array in Rose City has been closed.”

“Duke of Rosaceae Georgina has left too?”

“Yes, my lord. Duke Georgina left behind a hundred of her personal guards and then left via the teleportation array.

“Even if she wanted to interfere with the affairs of Rose City, she cannot personally appear.

“Her personal guards have also changed their standard equipment and put on helmets to cover their faces. No one can find any fault with them.”

Keli continued, “Rose City’s city guards have a total of 200,000 people. They are stationed in the barracks in the south and north of the city. Now, the two barracks are empty. The city guards should have all entered the city.

“The city guards stationed at the City Hall are conservatively estimated to be no less than 50,000 people. The rest of the city guards are searching for your traces throughout the city.”

Ning Shi took out a map of Rose City. They were now on Rat Street in the western corner of the city, and the City Hall was in the center of the eastern area.

The straight line distance between the two was about 6000 meters.

With the speed of the Undying Trump Troop fully equipped with armor, it would take them eight to ten minutes to get there.

This was enough time for the city guards to come up with countermeasures.

Since a surprise attack was impossible, they would have to fight head-on.

“Maku Gu, take 2000 men and follow this route. Go around to the back of the City Hall and wait for my news. If you encounter any enemies on the way, just attack them directly. There is no need to waste time.

“Magis, bring 2000 people from…

Fighting in Rose City was all on the streets. If there were too many people, they would not be able to form a formation. Ning Shi divided his troops into four and surrounded the City Hall from four routes.

Watching his subordinates leave, Ning Shi led the 4000-men army and ran to the front of the City Hall with Lena.

Just after passing through a Street, Ning Shi was intercepted by the city guards.

Rose City’s city guards had beautiful armor, and all of them were clad in full-body scarlet leather armor.

On the leather armor, the left side was embroidered with a snake pattern, and the right side had a rose pattern.

They were wearing exquisitely designed helmets. At the very top of the helmet, there was a cluster of red gold that looked like flames.

The mount the guard was riding on was a beginner magical beast, Snake-eyed Wind Horse. This magic beast was one of the hybrid magical beasts that Rose City had bred. It was a hybrid of a Green Wind Snake and a Windchaser Horse.

The Snake-eyed Wind Horse specialized in wind magic. It was extremely fast, had a strong vitality, and had good endurance. It was an excellent mount.

In comparison, the Undying Trump Troop’s equipment was very crude. Black heavy armor and wolf-tooth clubs, not exquisite and beautiful enough.

The city guard who stopped Ning Shi was a battalion of two thousand people. The commander of the battalion saw that the troops of Duohuang City did not even have mounts, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

He was actually charging straight at the Undying Trump Troop.

This wave of operation directly made Ning Shi dumbfounded!

Finally, some troops were willing to charge at the Undying Trump Troop, expressing their desire for close combat.

Ning Shi gave the highest respect to the city guard. He used all his strength and slashed at the city guard who was rushing over.

There was no resistance at all.

With a sizzling sound, the commanding officer and the magical beast he was riding on were split into two.

He looked around and saw that the extreme barbarian had smashed two city guards into meat pies with his wolf-tooth club. The remaining flesh hung on the wolf-tooth club, and blood dripped down.

The charge of the city guards was like sheep entering a tiger’s mouth.

This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided slaughter.

When the Undying Trump Troop arrived at the City Hall in four groups and launched an attack together, the City Hall was already in a state of chaos.

They didn’t encounter any resistance, and the city guards were completely vulnerable.

The city guards with their gorgeous equipment were like beautiful vases that would break with a touch.

Ning Shi and the Undying Trump Troop completely destroyed everything in sight. Only when they encountered a hundred guards left by Duke Georgina did they encounter some slight resistance.

Everything was going smoothly.

From launching the attack to breaking into the City Hall, and killing Marco and Gray, the total time spent was less than 10 minutes.

In Duohuang City, Ning Shi faced the border armies or trump card troops of various countries. It was his first time meeting city guards that looked like this, so he was really not used to it.

Looking at the city guards who knelt on the ground and surrendered, Ning Shi said to Lena, “After you become Duke, the first thing you need to do is reform and train the army.

“Rose City has been peaceful for a long time due to its good geographical location, and it had not experienced war for hundreds of years.

“Although the military weapons are excellent, the troops had not experienced the test of blood and fire.

“Because the city guards were treated very well, the selection of the city guards was not only based on strength, but also on background.

“Many people who had connections and weren’t strong enough were stuffed into the city guards.

“With these two factors combined, not only are the city guards’ combat power weak, but they also have no combat literacy.

“Facing the Undying Trump Troop that is invincible in close combat, they still charged forward arrogantly.

“Truly, the ignorant are fearless.”

It was the first time Lena had been in contact with an army, so she was still a little excited. Hearing Ning Shi’s words, she nodded.

“Don’t worry, Rose City has a good foundation. As long as we increase the intensity of training and take the initiative to train our troops, our combat power will be able to improve very quickly.

“I’ve heard from Sir Gu Bin that Rose Hill used to have a standing army of more than a million soldiers, but because there was no war, the army was gradually disbanded, and now there are less than 300,000 soldiers.”

...

Lena was right. Not counting the noble territories that the Duke had, just the Rose City territory that was directly under the Duke of Rose had a population of over a hundred million.

The territory had a large population, healthy finances, and sufficient financial resources. If they really wanted to train troops, the results would definitely not be bad.

The leader of the city guards, Marco, was dead, and so was Gray. The situation was now under Ning Shi and Lena’s control.

This battle ended very quickly. The number of city guards killed by Ning Shi and the Undying Trump Troop was about 10,000, and the total experience was about 20 million. In total, Ning Shi gained 4.5 million experience points.

Just as Ning Shi was about to check on the upgrade, Lena’s teacher, Gu Bin, came in with a package.

The package was dripping with blood. When he opened it, it was the head of Tagore, the leader of the Rose Knights.

Tagore’s family was ungrateful and bullied Lena. Ning Shi would definitely not let them go.

It was just that he had to fight in the arena and deal with the city guards, so he couldn’t leave.

Ning Shi had entrusted Gu Bin to keep an eye on Tagore’s actions in secret.

As the swordsman of the Alice family, Sir Gu Bin had experienced countless battles and storms in his life. He was not a kind person.

Gu Bin, who had long been disgusted with Tagore’s family, blocked the 1000-man army on Tagore’s escape route and then released the poison cloud skill.

...

Thousands of soldiers were instantly poisoned to death. Only Tagore and a few other experts had high poison resistance attributes and were not poisoned to death, but they were still killed by Gu Bin one by one.

This was the power of a Level 9 bloodline. Killing a small army by himself was as easy as eating and drinking.

“This is Tagore’s interspatial ring.”

Gu Bin threw the ring to Ning Shi and said, “If you didn’t remind me to keep an eye on Tagore, that old fox would have really run away. All of the Tagore family’s resources are now yours.

“Tagore is dead, and there were about 500 rose Knights who defected with him. I’ve killed all of them, and now the Rose Knights are under the control of Deputy Harry.”

“Lena,” Gu Bin said to Lena, “It’s already set in stone that you’ll become the new Duke of Rose. My mission has been completed.

“I’ll return to the old house of the Alice family and look for the successor of the swordsman in the collateral bloodline of the family. If you encounter any difficulties in the future and need help, you can send someone to the old house to find me.

“I hope that under your leadership, the Alice family will be able to regain the martial virtue and glory of a Duke’s family.”

After that, Gu Bin left.

After Lena saw her teacher off, she began to gather all the civil and military officials in the city, preparing to gradually take control of the civil and military power of Rose City.

Ning Shi didn’t follow. He sent hundreds of extreme barbarians to ensure Lena’s safety.

Then, he found a room and checked on his character’s level.
