After exiting the Mage Union, Tangning realized the sun had already risen above her head. Just like that, the morning passed by without her noticing.
After returning to the liege's mansion, Sydiado reported that he had raised 200,000 gold coins. The remaining 200,000 gold coins were expected to be raised tomorrow. The matter of the Chamber of Commerce was also being planned and discussed. Some merchants in the city voted for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, while others clearly expressed their opposition. In the hall of the liege's mansion, dozens of pot-bellied merchants were arguing endlessly.
As Tangning listened to the complicated arguments, she felt a wave of frustration. So, she ordered Sydiado to chase the merchants out of the manor.
Two days had passed. The bandits outside the city seemed to have forgotten that they were besieging the city. They did not send out soldiers to attack the city, nor did they retreat. However, in secret, the bandits seemed to have stepped up their contact with some people in the city, as if they were brewing some conspiracy.
Through the intelligence network that Sai Wen had hastily established, Tangning was able to see every single action of the thieves. So, she found Nassar and Sai Wen and gave them some instructions.
Then, Nassar secretly handed the seventh brigade to Savin to control, while he himself and a few high-level warriors from the Warrior Union infiltrated the soldiers guarding the city gate.
As expected, Laminad did not disappoint Tangning. Under his leadership, 7,000 strong laborers quickly built a city within a city.
After handing over the order, he handed the soldiers of the sixth and eighth battalions back to Sai Wen, while he himself led the newly recruited 5,000 soldiers into intense training.
Seeing that the new recruits had gradually formed combat effectiveness under his training, the bandits who had spies finally lost their patience. On the fourth night, the bandits quietly gathered by the moat outside the city. Then, a small group of soldiers in the city suddenly mutiny and unexpectedly opened the city gate.
The city gate was wide open, and the bandits swarmed in. Some of the bandits raised their torches and realized that they had entered a city within a city. There was also a city gate in this city, but it was half the size of the gate on the city wall.
The small city gate was soon smashed into pieces by the bandits, but the narrow door limited the number of bandits who could enter. As a result, the bandits outside the city continued to swarm into the city, but were soon blocked in the city within the city. Not long after, the city within the city was filled with bandits who could not enter the inner city for the time being.
The thieves who had entered the inner city through the small door were not in a better situation. After entering the inner city, they saw a straight passage. On both sides of the passage were rows of houses of different heights. Some thieves immediately wanted to break into the house, but they found that the house seemed to be stuffed with things. The door could not be opened.
Moreover, this row of houses seemed to have suddenly been raised. The bandits climbed up to the roof with great difficulty by using a ladder. They were shocked to find that there were rows of spears waiting for them on the roof.
The bandits 'screams rose and fell. Soon, the bandits gave up on the idea of breaking through the roof and ran towards the end of the long street. However, there were still rows of spears waiting for them at the end of the long street. Soon, the bandits who had been blocked filled the entire long street.
The scene was extremely chaotic. No one noticed that in the pitch-black night sky, two Heavenly Feather Birds were hovering above the long street.
" It's time," Tangning said as she sat on one of the birds and waved at the other bird.
Sitting on the back of the other Sky Feather Bird was a fire magician wearing a full set of windproof gear. After seeing Tangning's gesture, the fire magician chanted a few incantations before pushing his hands into the night sky.
A dozen fireballs flew up into the sky following the Magician's gesture. They exploded at the highest point, and countless small sparks instantly filled the dark night sky.
Under the illumination of the magic flames, Raminald raised his greatsword, and the 3,000 soldiers following behind him swarmed forward, joining in the operation to intercept the bandits entering the city, thus blocking the only exit of the entire long street.
On both sides of the street, thousands of well-trained soldiers climbed onto the rooftops and pointed their spears at the bandits at the bottom of the street. More than ten earth mages kept casting the level-2 earth spell, Petrification, to petrify the houses and sandbags on both sides of the street to prevent the bandits from climbing onto the rooftops and destroying the houses.
At the city gate, Nassar, who was hiding among the city guards, also saw Tangning's magic signal. He and a few other high-ranking warriors from the Warrior Union attacked at the same time and quickly killed the mutinous city guards. They then immediately set down the Broken Dragon Gate at the city gate.
As the Broken Dragon Gate that weighed more than 50,000 pounds fell, the bandits who entered the inner city and the long street officially became turtles in a jar. There were about 8,000 to 9,000 people crowded on a narrow street and the inner city. The scene was chaotic.
Tangning asked the Sky Feather Bird to land. On the ground, the President of the Duke of Magic's Union, Deitrick, and a few high-level Magicians were already impatient.
"Lord Donald, can we start now? Now, a high-level spell could kill a large number of them. It was a good opportunity.”
The president of the Warrior Union, Augusto, was also excited. Donald kid, give the order.”
" No rush, no rush. They won't be able to escape," Tangning calmly adjusted her clothes, which had been messed up by the wind." We have surrounded around 8,000 to 9,000 people. According to our observations, there are around 12,000 bandits outside the city. Other than the people we have surrounded, there are around 2,000 to 3,000 people outside the city." Duke Augusto, can I trouble you to lead a thousand men to pursue the bandits outside the city?”
A Gold-tier warrior, a few high-level warriors from the Warrior Union, and a thousand soldiers should be more than enough to chase after those three thousand bandits, right? Therefore, Augusto did not say anything and led his men down the city wall. In a short while, they disappeared from everyone's sight.
" Sai Wen, La Minard!" Tangning glanced at the messy bandits and said," Have your soldiers shout 'Put down your weapons and surrender!'”。
With the help of the Wind Magic Shooter, Dicrix, everyone shouted," Put down your weapons and surrender! We won't kill you!" The shouts of thousands of people instantly spread over the entire city. Faced with the cold tip of the spear, the City Defense Army, and the magic troops led by a Magic Shooter, the bandits 'mental defense finally collapsed. After a series of clanging sounds of weapons falling to the ground, the bandits who were surrounded all put down their weapons.
" Alright," Tangning let out a long sigh of relief as she saw that the situation was settled.
" Savon, I'll leave the rest to you. Count the number of captives and treat the injured. Duke Deitrick, let them handle this. Let's go back to the liege's residence and have a good gathering."”
" I'll be glad to accompany you," said Deitrick, stroking his beard elegantly.”
