Chapter 155

When the incident on Blue Star happened, the magic world was also not peaceful.

In the castle of Mengchuan City, Weiwei frowned as she listened to the battle report from her subordinates.

Since the elf army arrived at the city yesterday, it took them only half a day to complete the integration of the chaotic coalition outside, and then they began to attack the city.

For a day and a night, the siege never stopped.

The geographical location of Mengchuan City is very special. It is located at the intersection of two rivers, surrounded by water on two sides and a mountain on one side.

Only the side facing the north is a relatively flat open area, which can allow the coalition outside to attack comprehensively.

Although the other three directions were also surrounded, in fact, because there were not many available places, it was difficult for the coalition to launch a siege on those sides.

Even the siege was very weak.

Before, Weiwei could contact the outside world at any time in Mengchuan City, relying on the relatively lax defense here.

Some small batches of goods and even a few people can still enter the city through river shipping.

But it is difficult for bulk goods like food and consumables like weapons to come in, which is why Mengchuan City lacks everything except food and weapons.

Although the coalition forces besieging on the other three sides are small, they are not dead.

Relatively speaking, the defenders on the three walls are also relatively small.

After all, there are only tens of thousands of people, and it is impossible to spread them on the four walls. The main defense position of the Mengchuan City defenders is only the northern wall.

Deep trenches and high fortifications, coupled with invincible geographical advantages, are the reasons why Mengchuan City has been able to defend for several years with fewer enemies.

But that was before.

The coalition forces from different races outside the city have their own ulterior motives. Facing the towering walls and iron-barrel-like defenses, they dare not attack the city with all their strength even if they have the advantage in numbers.

They are afraid that the strength of their own race will be damaged during the siege, and they may not have a say in the subsequent distribution of benefits or other aspects, and they will work for others for nothing.

But now it is different. With the absolutely powerful external force of the Elf Kingdom joining in, and the leading elf princess named Anqi is obviously amazing.

Whether it was killing a chicken to scare the monkey or coercion and inducement, at least she has now turned the originally chaotic coalition into an iron plate.

Since yesterday's attack, the pressure faced by the defenders of Mengchuan City has far exceeded that of several years before.

Waves of coalition forces of various ethnic groups rushed towards the towering city walls like a tide, pressing the defenders on the city to be a little breathless.

But the opponent did not just fight hard.

Sometimes they feinted, suddenly began to retreat halfway through the fight, and sometimes they really fought.

At the same time, while fighting, a large number of coalition soldiers who were not involved in the project would move a large number of sandbags and throw them into the moat.

The moat of Mengchuan City connects the two large rivers on both sides.

It is wide and deep, blocking countless enemy troops attacking the city.

However, after only one day, after countless sandbags were thrown, a dirt road made of sandbags had been forcibly built on the moat.

After all, the water in the moat was diverted, not a real river, and the flow rate of the water was too slow.

The defenders on the city wall were too tired to deal with the enemies who attacked the city in real and fake ways, and had no time to protect the moat.

It was only natural that the road was cut off and filled.

Without the protection of the river, the scale of the coalition's siege would only be larger and more intense.

The problem of insufficient number of defenders in Mengchuan City was finally exposed at this time.

Facing the coalition's continuous attacks in batches, the two shifts of defenders on the city wall obviously couldn't keep up with the energy.

Even if these soldiers were at least warriors, they couldn't withstand such continuous attacks.

The coalition had a large number of soldiers who could take turns to rest, but the defenders of Mengchuan City couldn't.

After a day and a night of fighting, the soldiers in the city were visibly tired.

For this reason, Weiwei had to take out some of the water of life, dilute it and distribute it to the whole army to drink to solve the problem of soldiers' fatigue.

But this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and at most it can only last for a while.

Under the coalition's reckless rotation attack, even an iron man can be worn down, and the water of life is not omnipotent.

"Just hold on at the current pace. I don't need you to die meaninglessly with the whole city. It only takes three days! Hold on for three days and our reinforcements will arrive."

In this case, nothing can boost morale more than reinforcements on the way.

Facing a group of tired subordinates, Weiwei had to paint a rosy picture.

Of course, this is not a rosy picture, because there is really a coalition.

She routinely gave her subordinates a boost of chicken blood, and she was originally going to go up to the city wall to inspect the city defense.

But at this time, a magician in a magician's robe hurried into the city lord's mansion with a scroll.

"Your Highness Princess, Your Highness! News from the Imperial Capital!"

Weiwei dismissed the others calmly, and then asked the magician to hand over the scroll.

"What is it?"

"Your Majesty... passed away!" The magician immediately knelt down and trembled.

Weiwei's hand froze as she spread out the scroll, a complex expression flashed across her eyes, and then she smiled bitterly:

"This is really not the right time."

When she opened the scroll, she saw that it was sent by her elder brother, the current eldest prince.

The general meaning of the first part was "Alas, I have lost my father."

The second half got to the point.

On the grounds of His Majesty's death, the princes and princesses scattered around were asked to return to the imperial capital to pay tribute to the late emperor and participate in his coronation ceremony.

He will inherit the throne as the eldest son of the royal family in ten days, and hopes to receive the blessings of his brothers and sisters.

Of course, these are just polite words.

The last few sentences are the key points.

"Now the situation is turbulent, and there are many villains plotting for the throne. When you come to the imperial capital, you can bring your personal guards with you. I already know about the siege of Mengchuan City. You can put it aside for now. When the new dynasty is in power, I will choose a more prosperous fiefdom for you."

The words mean that Weiwei will lead the troops to Beijing to help him secure the throne.

As for this broken Mengchuan City, what important town on the northern border, it will be lost if it is lost.

In the eyes of these princes, it is just a group of barbarians from outside the Great Wall who come to collect money. Afterwards, they will leave by themselves, and they can take back the territory calmly, which is not a big deal at all.

Moreover, Mengchuan City is located on the border, where there are constant wars and it is very barren.

As long as Weiwei can help him secure the throne, he can change Weiwei to a more prosperous fiefdom.

Can Weiwei's apparent power really decide the battle between the princes in the imperial capital?

That is obviously impossible, as the worst of them have at least a million soldiers.

The coalition forces outside besieging Mengchuan City would be defeated in a day when facing the elite army of the Chiyang Empire controlled by these princes.

Not to mention Weiwei.

The people under her control can't influence the situation in the imperial capital at all.

What is really useful and makes the princes who want to take the throne take the initiative to extend an olive branch to invite her is her identity.

A royal princess, and a princess with a prominent reputation and a reputation as a genius since childhood, once she joins a camp and clearly supports one of the princes to take the throne, the political impact will be much greater than the military impact.
