C363 Skeleton Soldier Enclosure
The map clearly recorded the terrain of Sky Dragon Empire, Sand Empire, Te Bo Empire, Kingdom of Flame, and a portion of Central Continent.
Looking at the map, Xu Tianyu smiled. It really was a timely rain.
"There is a Jia Nai City here. It should be a city with Central Continent, we can go through land, sea and land to reach this city. It would be much closer this way.
"Powell, send more ships to find the safest route"
"Yes, Brother Tianyu."
After Powell put away the map, Susan continued.
"Right now, the Rose Chamber of Commerce and the Three Great Guilds are the same, they are all trading in Sky Dragon Empire, Duke William wants to see you."
"Okay, I understand. In a few days, I will personally go and find him."
Xu Tianyu nodded and agreed.
"Alright, now that we're done with the business, let's start the meal."
While Xu Tianyu and the others were having their happy dinner, the Five Seas City was extremely lively.
A large group of Skeleton Soldiers had surrounded the Five Seas City.
"Why? Is what Young Hero said true?"
Zheng Fang stood on top of the wall in shock as he looked at the sea of skeletons below.
Originally, he had listened to the butler's advice and used Sand Empire to attack, extending his hand towards the wealthy merchants within the city.
In the past few days, he had dealt with more than five wealthy merchants, and each one of them were very wealthy people.
Moreover, his little treasury was almost full.
The other wealthy merchants obediently bowed their heads as well. He had never felt such satisfaction in being the City Lord.
But he was happy for only two days, and his Sand Empire had actually sent troops to ambush his Five Seas City.
Although he had gathered soldiers, those soldiers did not have any strength left.
After being attacked by the skeleton soldiers of the Sand Empire, most of them had already escaped.
He had no choice but to close the city gates and retreat into the city.
"Butler, how many people are there in the entire Five Seas City that can still fight?"
Zheng Fang tried his best to calm himself down. However, his trembling legs already betrayed him.
"Milord, there are still two hundred people."
"What? Only two hundred men? How is that possible? Isn't there five thousand men in our standing army?"
Zheng Fang shouted in disbelief.
"Sir, half a year ago, you said that the military expenditure was too great, and that there were four thousand people disbanded."
He remembered the butler's words and felt awkward.
"No, we still have a thousand soldiers."
Zheng Fang thought that his Five Seas City was not that big. As long as he had a thousand people, he was confident that he would be able to defend this city.2
After all, although there were a lot of skeleton soldiers, they were not a threat to the city walls. Breaking through the city walls was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
"Lord, have you forgotten that last month, you removed the captain of the guards from his post? After that, most of the guards left with the captain.
The two hundred soldiers I just mentioned are actually some old soldiers who can't walk. "
The butler also knew that this was a time of crisis and did not hide anything.
After hearing those words, Zheng Fang even had the urge to kill himself. Therefore, he did not even have a single soldier with Five Seas City capable of fighting.
He suddenly remembered Xu Tianyu's words. If he could believe Xu Tianyu, he would have made preparations earlier.
It was simply impossible for someone with Sand Empire to be so arrogant right now. If he had five thousand soldiers, he would rush out and fight to the death with Sand Empire.
Right now, they were being besieged by more than a thousand Sand Empire soldiers, and there was actually nothing they could do.
