In the spring of 785, the offensive against the Demon Kingdom commanded by Zichuan Xiu was the first strategic counteroffensive of mankind against the Demon Kingdom; But no one expected that this would be the last time.

Before the expedition, the patriarchs of the family would have high expectations for the size of the expedition. On the ruins of the imperial capital, the patriarchs of the family gritted their teeth and swore an oath: "I will trample the Demon God Castle into ruins with a million troops!" Just as they made us cry, now, it's time for the demons to cry! ”

In the face of the enthusiastic veteran representatives, the reaction of the staff commander Goshan was very indifferent. She told them that it was not difficult to organize a million army to fight into the territory of the demons, and the difficult thing was that the million army was well fed.

According to the usual practice, a supply route of more than two cents long was organized, and for every catty of grain transported, more than five catties of grain were consumed on the road. To feed an army of millions, the daily food needs are enough to collapse an entire family.

"If we want to set the end of the war at the Demon God Fort, considering that the road is far away and the front is long, and the productive forces that our army can recover from the newly recovered territory are also limited, even if we do our best to prepare for combat mobilization, our army must not dispatch more than 150,000 soldiers, and the combat time cannot exceed three months, otherwise, the logistics department will not be able to ensure the supply of the front." Wearing thick black tortoiseshell glasses, Commander Goshan made this statement to the Senate.

"Lord Goshan, can you tap into your potential again? At the very least, we have to mobilize 500,000 troops! ”

Goshan looked at the patriarchs coldly: "Yes, but please remove me first." ”

In the most difficult period of the Great Patriotic War, the demons were overwhelmed by soldiers on the front line of the imperial capital, and in the case of losing nearly three-quarters of the country, the logistics department created miraculous efficiency and achievements: relying only on the support of the southwest, the logistics department supplied the Zichuan family's millions of front-line troops with enough food. And the achievement of this achievement is inseparable from the excellent administrative handling ability of Captain Goshan. With this achievement, Commander Goshan became an authority that was feared by the generals of the family, and no one dared to doubt the words of this outstanding logistical expert.

According to the judgment of the commander of Goshan, only 150,000 troops could be dispatched to fight. In this case, the Zichuan family could only select the best and most elite troops to join the expeditionary legion.

After consideration by the Military Affairs Department, the Wenhe Cavalry Group, Jiashan Infantry Division and other combat-friendly units were transferred from the Southeast Army Corps, the "Immortal Battalion" division was transferred from the Central Army, and the 101st Special Division was transferred from the Supervision Department (the unit was born in the 777 secret base, formerly known as the Special Regiment, and later expanded rapidly in the later stage of the Great Patriotic War and expanded into a special division), and the Northwest First Cavalry Army, which had just been formed under the command of Ming Hui, was transferred from the Northwest Army.

The above troops are all elite divisions, but the decision-making level of the Zichuan family does not expect to rely on them to defeat the former number one military power on the mainland. The Zichuan family hopes that the Far Eastern Commander Zichuan Xiu can join this great crusade against the demons. Because the logistics and supply systems of the Far Eastern Military District are independent of the family. The troop limit mentioned by Commander Goshan did not include the Far Eastern Military District. And because the Far East itself has strong soldiers and unique geographical advantages, it is the best forward position and supply base to fight the demons, in this case, the attitude of the commander of Zichuan Xiu is very important.

Although the two sides cooperated closely in the war against the demons, and Zichuan Xiu was also one of the leaders of the family, in fact, everyone knew that Zichuan Xiu was not the same as the other leaders of the family, in the words of Luo Minghai who scolded him behind his back: "Zichuan Xiu? Fuck the big warlord! ”

has an independent loyal army, an independent logistics system and financial revenue and expenditure system, independent appointment and dismissal of officials in the jurisdiction, and the military, government and financial resources are all in one hand - although Zichuan Xiu himself resolutely denies it, claiming that he is the most loyal general to the family, and he is just an ordinary general under the Zichuan family, but in fact, everyone knows that Zichuan Xiu has long been an out-and-out independent warlord.

The irony is that looking back on the growth and fortune of this warlord, people can't find much hate, and they can't find the forcible seizures, conspiracies, betrayals and sinister hearts that are common on the road to power, but instead find the loyalty, dedication and blood and tears that move people to tears. In the most difficult days, when no one knew about it, a group of young officers who were insulted as rebellious, with pure loyalty to the motherland, fought hard in the wilderness, and used their youth and blood to defend the motherland against a powerful enemy from the east.

As Zichuan Ning said: "Commander Xiuchuan has never been sorry for the Zichuan family, on the contrary, it is the family that owes Commander Xiuchuan." "It was none other than the Zichuan family themselves who cultivated the most loyal generals into warlords who divided one side. Because of this, to deal with Zichuan Xiu, it is not a simple order from the Military Affairs Department, if this order is not to his liking, Zichuan Xiu may use it as a mouth wipe for the orcs. In order for Zichuan Xiu to be able to accept the order smoothly, the military affairs chief Sterling went to the Far East in person to discuss the military with Zichuan Xiu, and also offered the future demon governor plenipotentiary and military reimbursement two big prices, promising that Zichuan Xiu would have full command of the Eastern Expedition War, and the latter finally agreed that the Far East would also cooperate with the army to recruit the demons.

After more than two months of preparation and marching, the various legions gathered at the Tran Fortress, a famous city in the eastern Far East. The main force of this expedition is composed of the half-orc legion and the human legion, with a total of 70,000 human cavalry, 60,000 human infantry, and 15,000 special forces.

The Zichuan family and the elite troops of the Far East were exhausted, and the main force of the expeditionary force was as many as 300,000. And the commander of this army is none other than Zichuan Xiu. Now that the kingdom's military is weakened and divided, the Zichuan family, which wiped out the six integrated armies of the demon clan in one go and forced the emperor to commit suicide, is outrageous. In that snowy winter, watching the human army march into the Far East in large numbers to assemble and reorganize, the entire demon kingdom was trembling and waiting, waiting for uninvited guests to knock on their doors.

On February 18, 785, the Sorimian steppe, spring begins.

This year's winter has been particularly cold, and the wind and snow have been particularly cold. It should be the season when the snow melts, but at this moment the grassland is still covered with a layer? Thick snow on the wrist.

The cold wind was howling, and the wind was blowing in front of each other with dense light snow; On the vast horizon, there is nothing.

The Sorimian grassland is the dividing line between the Demon Kingdom and the Far East, and this grassland nominally belongs to the Demon Kingdom, but in fact, the central power of the Demon Race has never been able to effectively control this land. In this grassland, there are only some nomadic demon tribes and some bandits.

It was a wild land, where hordes of armed herdsmen and bandits often fought to protect their flocks; This is also a dangerous border, where orc patrols and demon border guards often encounter each other unexpectedly and clash.

No one knows how many battles have been fought on this grassland, and how many people have fallen to their deaths here, but the vultures and goshawks that fly in the air are circling, and they are the real rulers of this land.

And on the 18th day of February in 785, a huge army arrived in the Sorimian steppe; Cavalrymen clad in white snow cloaks slowly marched along both sides of the Sona River, and beside them were large infantry legions, green uniforms covering the steppe as far as the eye could see, and wagons carrying heavy equipment and supplies meandered endlessly.

Riding a war horse on the edge of the frozen Sona River, Zi Chuanxiu raised his head and stared at the sky, his face solemn.

Shirakawa rode to his side: "My lord, what are you looking at?" ”

"Flags."

"Flags?"

"The black eagle flag of the Zichuan family is finally flying on this land."

Following Zichuan Xiu's gaze, Shirakawa followed his eyes. The army of the Zichuan family is advancing in a strict battle ranks.

Heavy cavalry, light cavalry, orc infantry, light infantry, nearly 300,000 troops advanced along the banks of the Sona River, all the armies marched in unison, the banners were like a sea, and the light of the armor covered the Sorimian steppe as far as the eye could see, and the horses' hooves were in a commotion.

And just above the marching army, the black flying eagle flag was spreading in practice, and in the flying snowflakes, the flying flag was so conspicuous.

Looking at this spectacular scene, Shirakawa remembered the countless days and nights of the Naxin War in the past year, worrying and despairing about the fate of the country and mankind, until the moment of the great counterattack. How can you not be excited?

"We've finally come this far."

Zi Chuanxiu nodded: "It's not easy, but we still got here." In the future, we will go further and further! ”

"In Heqiu, I saw with my own eyes the clansmen from overseas, the Xichuan continent and the only world that flies." Pointing at the vast eastern horizon with a horsewhip, Zi Chuanxiu raised his voice and said, "I have always wondered, what is at the end of that earth? Is it a mountain, a coast, a desert, a forest, or an endless plain? Is there a kingdom like ours over there? What kind of life did they live? The world is infinitely vast, men must not be complacent! ”

He whipped violently, and the war horse ran like the wind, and rushed straight up to the hill on the grassland. The army of the border winds at the foot of the hill.

So, all the officers and men of the army saw their commander, the young general in black clothes and white horses was heroic, his vigorous figure swept across the grassland like an eagle, and his broad cloak fluttered in the wind, like huge wings about to sweep away the entire grassland.

His mount snapped into the wind, and all the mounts under the banner hissed together; Galloping, the sun is shining, the armor is distinct, the iron horse is rolling like the sea, and the momentum is majestic like a mountain. Army! It is not the hastily formed peasant rebel army of the past, but all of the strongest and most powerful soldiers, equipped with the most advanced and sharp weapons, and the strongest armed forces in the whole continent have been gathered under their own banners, and at this moment, this army is closely following its own pace.

With such force, no matter against any country on the mainland, whether it is the Liufeng family, the Lin family, or Zi Chuanxiu, they are confident that they will win the battle.

In the deepest part of his heart, he even had such a thought: even against his home country, the Zichuan family, it would not be difficult to change the dynasty with such a strong army - of course, such a thought was only fleeting, and it was quickly extinguished like fireworks.

At this time, although Zichuan Xiu had become a semi-independent warlord in the Far East, he still had a deep sense of loyalty to his mother country.

He will take on an unprecedented responsibility, to bring shame to the motherland that has been trampled and trampled by the demons, to eradicate the cancer that has been constantly infesting mankind for thousands of years, and to win supreme glory for the motherland.

The army has been advancing along the banks of the Sona River, which was the path that Dillin's first expedition to the west and the attack on the demon kingdom by the orc general Bran had both walked.

At this moment, it was the First Legion of the Far Eastern Orcs who served as the leader of the army, returning to the old path, Bran was extremely excited, he rode his horse to Zichuan Xiu and said non-stop, pointing and pointing: "Your Highness, it was here that day that we cut down the Sixth Frontier Regiment of the Kingdom to pieces, and the border guards of the demon clan were cornered by us, and they all jumped into the river, and we shot countless arrows on the shore!" Your Highness, look, there is still a pile of white bones over there, which is the demon border guard who was killed by us! ”

Zi Chuan Xiu reined in his war horse and looked at the skeleton that the snow covered half of it, silently.

He knew that the demon border guards were not Senea soldiers, they were all from the small demon tribes on the border, and they were ordered by the Senea to serve as border guards.

In essence, these people were more like simple farmers or herders than soldiers, and their sorrow lay in the fact that they were born in a land that was caught between the Senea and the Far East.

Beating his horse and crossing the line of half-orcs, Shikawa Shu crossed the infantry unit from the Kayama division, and in front of the makeshift headquarters tent, he dismounted.

A group of soldiers dressed in white snow cloaks saluted him, and the captain reported to him: "Lord Qiyu, the ministers have been ordered to assemble. ”

This is Xiao Lin, the new captain of the guard, who was personally selected by Shirakawa from the Xiuzi camp.

According to Bai Chuan, Xiao Lin is not only outstanding in martial arts, but what is even more rare is that he is calm and calm, flexible in mind, tight-mouthed, and loyal to Zichuan Xiu, so she decided to choose him as the captain of the guard.

But from the first glance at Xiao Lin, Zi Chuanxiu immediately understood that all the above statements were just excuses, and there was only one real reason: Xiao Lin looked too much like a person! With a resolute face, iron-shaven cheeks, thick dark eyebrows, honest eyes, and even when he laughed, his narrowed eyes looked like that person.

Looking at him, Zichuan Xiu couldn't help but think of the former guard captain Gu Lei who was no longer alive, he left a deep impression on people, whether it was Shirakawa or Zichuan Xiu, he couldn't forget this heroic and applied officer.

Staring at Xiao Lin's face for a moment, Zi Chuanxiu looked away. He slapped the gold-threaded whip in his hand, lifted his wide black cloak with gold trim, and walked towards the tent.

Xiao Lin took the lead in lifting the door of the tent for him, and shouted: "The commander of the Far Eastern Military Region, the family commander, the military affairs commissar, and the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Lord Xiuchuan, is here, all stand up!" ”

There was a bang, and two columns of soldiers stood up in the tent. As soon as he entered the gloomy tent under the bright sunlight, Zi Chuanxiu's eyes couldn't adapt for a while, and he couldn't see the faces of the people in front of him clearly, only seeing the badges on their shoulders and the medals on their chests shining brightly.

The crowd stood on the wall, and there was no sound other than the sound of thin breathing. Zi Chuanxiu looked at everyone, and the lowest level of those who could enter this tent was also the flag book, and they were all governors of a province outside, in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. But at this moment, they stood in front of them in fear, and they didn't even dare to breathe a little louder.

At this time, Shikawa Xiu felt the terrifying magic of power. The prestige of the people, the power of the generals, and the illustrious magic of the apex of power are by no means able to resist human beings. It's not the first time that he has been in charge of himself, but being given such great power and commanding so many soldiers and horses, Zichuan Xiu still feels fluttering.

He took off his deerskin gloves and handed them to the guards who greeted him with his horsewhip. Someone took off the heavy cloak on his shoulders, he moved his sore shoulders, raised his hand and greeted everyone, "Chiefs, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, sir!" A neat response rang out from the tent. The conditions at the front were rudimentary, and the officers had to sit on the ponystuffs they had brought with them. Everyone sat down in a half-circle facing Zichuan Xiuwei, and the sunlight in the snow shone through the gaps in the tent, reflecting everyone's faces.

Zichuan Xiu has seen his subordinates one after another, and these people in front of him will realize his long-cherished wish to conquer the Demon Kingdom for himself.

Some of them are old acquaintances, such as Wen He, the former deputy commander of the Southeast Army, who will lead the First Cavalry Corps of the Yuanzheng Army; Wu Bin, the former red-clothed banner of the Supervision Department, will lead all the mechanical and technical units of the expeditionary force, that is, the 101st Special Division of the original family.

But there are also some unfamiliar faces, such as Fang Yun's red-clothed flag book transferred from the Northwest Army. He was in his thirties and not tall. Although his surname is Fang, he has a round head, a round brain, round eyes, and even a round nose, and he always speaks and acts with a slow and creamy taste.

Although Zichuan Xiu knew that it was a very stupid thing to judge people by their appearance, when he saw this General Fang Yun, he still couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that the talent of the Northwest Frontier Army is lacking to such a degree?" How are your generals chosen? Drawing? ”

Fang Yun smiled sheepishly: "My lord, we are drawing lots. ”

Zichuan Xiu immediately looked at him. Come to think of it, how can someone who can sit in such a high position at the age of thirty be a mediocre person.

In addition to Fang Yun, several generals of the Southeast Army and the Central Army of the Imperial Capital were also assigned to Zichuan Xiu.

Some people joke that the biggest contribution of the demon invasion is to reduce the average age of the Zichuan family's generals by ten years, which is indeed true.

War is the most cruel and merciless examination room, and most of the people present in the tent today are young and middle-aged generals in their thirties and forties, and there are also young people in their twenties, and there are no generals who are more than fifty years old, and the leader of this army is a young general who is only twenty-six years old.

They are all young and ambitious, although it is icy and snowy outside, but inside the tent is a hot place, the banquet is shrouded in deep passion, and the generals have infinite pride, eager to open up territory for the country.

First of all, it was Shirakawa, the red-clothed banner of the Far Eastern Army, who stood up to speak, and on behalf of the Far Eastern Military Intelligence Agency, she introduced the geography of the kingdom and the power of the tribes.

"The Demon Kingdom is mainly under the control of the four major forces, they are the Senea tribe that rules the Demon God Castle and the surrounding area, and the Yakun tribe who control the Black River Plain; The Mongols' sphere of influence extends from the Xiga Mountains to the Fuluo River Valley, and the Goang have a firm grip on the Remuria Plain on the west side of the Demon God Castle, which is the only way we can march on our route.

"These four tribes are the main ones we will deal with in the future. Although there are hundreds of large and small tribes in the Demon Kingdom, those small tribes have to be attached to the four major tribes, otherwise they will not be able to gain a foothold at all.

"The relationship between these four tribes is not harmonious, the Senea tribe was once the most powerful ruling tribe in the Demon Kingdom, and it is also the main target of our military attack, and due to the failure of the war of aggression, the Senea tribe was attacked by a group, because of the fear of retaliation after the Senea tribe regained strength, the other three tribes are wary of the Golden Clan. Before our army pushed the army, both the Mongolian and the Goang sent envoys to express their willingness to submit to the Zichuan family. ”

There was a low buzz in the room. The Senea had already suffered a crushing defeat, and the expeditionary force's main concern was that the army would penetrate thousands of miles into the barren land, where the bad weather, terrain, and hostile local population would become their enemies. But if the demon natives are on the side of humans, things will be much easier.

There was a relaxed atmosphere in the banquet, the generals were talking and laughing with smiles on their faces, there was no suspense in the war, and the remnants of the Senea demon army were not enough to withstand the thunderous blow of the human race. Under the encirclement and suppression of human armies and the coalition of many tribes, at most, the remnants of the Senea will disappear in half a year.

"It looks like we only need to fight a siege battle against the Demon God Castle."

Zi Chuan Xiu frowned, he asked Bai Chuan to report the situation of the demon clan just to let the generals have a general understanding of the enemy's situation, but in exchange for everyone's ease, before the war to underestimate the enemy is a taboo.

The young commander stood up and looked around with a stern gaze, and all the chatter and chatter disappeared immediately. That handsome and upright young general had a kind of majestic majesty that no one dared to ignore.

"If you are only trying to defeat the Seneans, the war will not be difficult. But our purpose is not only that, the country spends a lot of money to send a large army, if it is only to vent hatred for one goal, it is extremely irresponsible to the country! I've seen it with my own eyes, this savage and rough land, the people are strong and wild, and in less than twenty years, a new ruling tribe will emerge and become a great problem for us human beings again. This is the weakest moment of the Demon Kingdom, and it is also the rarest opportunity for mankind! Turning the territory of the kingdom into the new territory of the family, letting the Black Eagle Banner float on this land forever, making all the demon tribes and residents become subjects of the Zichuan family, and making the kingdom the ninetieth province of the Zichuan family, this is the real purpose of our army! Ladies and gentlemen, although the Senea tribe was defeated, they still have nearly 100,000 troops, various tribes and there is no shortage of excellent generals, the expeditionary force is alone abroad, the battle we face is not easy, please do your best and fight bravely! ”

There was silence in the banquet, and the generals' eyes widened, and they were shocked.

No one could have imagined that such ambition could be hidden in the heart of this young leader. Turn the entire demon kingdom into a new territory of the Zichuan family, and seize more than double the original area of the land for the Zichuan family!

In contrast, more than two hundred years of Zichuan Yun's battle to seize the Far East, that is nothing, but it is just a small piece of chassis on the side of the demon clan, and the Zichuan commander in front of him, he wants to swallow the demon kingdom whole!

After a moment of silence, Fang Yun was the first to stand up, he smiled and said: "It is the honor of the lower official to be able to follow the adult to participate in such a great cause, although it is the first time to fight under the command of the adult, please rest assured, the second hussar regiment will never drag the expeditionary force back!" Our department is good at long-distance running and quickly conquering enemy formations, please rest assured that you will give us a task! ”

Wenhe also stood up: "Lord Xiuchuan, you know my Wenhe." I'm a rough person, and I can't help those things that use my brain, but when it comes to fighting, then rest assured that I'll leave it to me! As long as it is a field battle, the First Cavalry Army of the Southeast Army is not afraid of any enemy! ”

"The next official is Starry Red-clothed Qiben from the Southeast Army, leading the Jiashan Infantry Division Cluster! My department is the best at attacking and defending the city, and the most hated thing by the boys is the demons, please give us the hardest bones to gnaw! We are not afraid to take on the toughest tasks! ”

"Xia Guan led the 101st Special Division from the Prosecutor's Office, we are not good at hand-to-hand combat, but we can provide the most reliable long-range cover for the army! No matter how strong the city is, it will not be able to withstand our bombardment. Under your command, my lord, our unit once inflicted heavy losses on the sailor fleet in the Battle of the Lancang River, and wiped out the Demon God Emperor's Guards Brigade in the Battle of Bataan! Now, all the officers and men of our unit feel very honored to be able to fight under your command again, and we firmly believe that victory will definitely belong to us! ”

"Xiaguan Lindi, lead the immortal battalion division from the Central Army of the Imperial Capital! My lord, the Immortal Battalion has always been the most prominent meritorious unit of the family, and has performed well in the Far East Counterinsurgency, the Battle of Payi, the Battle of the Imperial Capital, and the Battle of Bataan. All the officers and men of our division firmly believe that under the leadership of the wise Lord Xiuchuan, our division will be able to strive for more victories and win supreme glory! ”

Officers from the interior stood up one after another to speak, and the sound of allegiance was resounding.

Seeing that he had gathered so many powerful troops under his command, it could be said that the elite of the entire Zichuan family's armed forces was under his control, and he also thought of how heavy the responsibility was on his shoulders, so he couldn't help but be short of breath with Zichuan Xiu's composure and indifference.

All the generals asked for battle, the military spirit was like a rainbow, and Zichuan Xiu was deeply satisfied. He smiled and said, "There is one more thing to remember, whether it is the Mongolians, the Yakun people, or the Goang people, no matter what they say or how sincere they are, you can't trust them!" Don't look at them as polite, in fact, they all want to borrow our sword to slaughter the Senea, and then they will take the opportunity to sit big. Bones. They and the Seneans are all the same dogs, and they are all dreaming of being Carter's first, and it is possible to use the demons, but they must not be believed! ”

"Understood! The subordinate officials obey the teachings of the commander! All the generals stood up in unison and shouted one after another.

Next, we discussed the route of the march and tactical matters, which should have been decided before the expedition, but because of the unexpectedly long snowfall in winter, the snow closed many places to impass. The pre-determined route of the march had to be modified.

On this issue, Zichuan Xiu and the generals from the mainland did not have much say, only the orc general Bran, who had organized the crusade against the Demon Kingdom, sang a one-man show there.

Seeing that so many high-ranking officials were listening attentively to their speeches, the orc general was very excited and kept talking. However, the place names of the demon clan are extremely awkward, and the names of several big cities are more difficult to read than one another, what "Fogrozbia", "Yasofsky Reference", "Atanibat Road", listening to the reports of the orcs such as a number of treasures, everyone is like listening to the book of heaven, Wen He followed and read the name twice, almost biting his tongue.

So, Zichuan Xiu ordered to summon the demon chieftain Rose and the rebel general of the Senea clan, Lu Di, and instructed them: "You guys should also come up with ideas!" After all, you're more familiar with the environment. ”

It was the first time to be in the same room with so many human generals, Rose looked very reserved, and he respectfully saluted Zichuan Xiu: "Your Highness, with your martial might, conquer the divided demon kingdom, victory is certain." The only concern is that the enemy will take advantage of your alienation and set a trap to damage your army. The kingdom has a violent climate and a harsh environment. The march of the army is approaching spring and summer, and during this time there are many torrential rains and flash floods, and our army must be on guard against this point when camping. Moreover, the greatest danger of our army's march is that it is necessary to guard against death. ”

The orc Bran chimed in, "My lord, he's right! Other natural disasters can be prevented, but death is really unpreventable. ”

"Dead?" Wen He repeated the words: "It feels like a terrifying place. ”

"My lord, even in the Protoss, death is a terrible word. Landslides, earthquakes, floods, although these natural disasters are severe, there are always traces to be found, and we can prepare and guard against them. In appearance, the Dead Land is no different from other lands, except that everyone who passes by will die, and legend has it that it was cursed by the Great Demon God to die. And it is not death on the spot, it is a few days or even dozens of days before the limbs are swollen, the skin is erosive and vomits blood! At that time, the victim did not know where he was unlucky. ”

"Is there such a terrible place?" Wen He asked eagerly, "Do you have a map of the distribution of the dead land?" ”

"The Tatars are familiar with the distribution of dead places within their own tribes, but we don't know the distribution of dead places within other tribes - this is really the general practice of our god clans, and the forbidden areas and dead places in the territories of each tribe are often only known to locals, and will not be easily revealed to outsiders, let alone foreigners."

"Isn't that a trap? Once we fall into the trap, we don't even know how we died! ”

Bran, the half-orc general, comforted: "Actually, the situation is not as serious as you imagined, we hit the area around the Demon God Castle last time, but we didn't see any deaths, only a few soldiers were injured by falling." Dead places are generally located off the beaten track, and as long as you don't deviate from the road to go to a place that is too remote, there will be no problem. We've also put together some map materials that we can distribute to you later. ”

The hearts of the people were a little calm.

At this time, an officer came in and called Shirakawa out. After a while, she returned to the tent and whispered in Zichuan Xiu's ear for a while, and Zichuan Xiu frowned. He stood up and apologized to everyone, and followed Shirakawa out.

"Mon Khan himself came and asked to see me? Didn't he say that he was fighting the Goang with his men? ”

Shirakawa stood up straight, as if he was being examined by Shikawa Xiu: "My lord, I don't understand either. But Mon Khan did come here, and I recognized him. He asked to see you, Lord Commander. If not, I wouldn't dare disturb your meeting. ”

"Where is he?"

"Right at the front battalion headquarters."

When Zichuan Xiu walked into the front army headquarters, Meng Khan, whose head and face were covered by a black cloth, was sitting on the ground overgrown with weeds. The two orc soldiers watched him closely, and I don't know if it was Shirakawa's order or the guards deliberately making things difficult, Meng Khan didn't even have a chair, so he could only sit on the floor of the tent.

Seeing Zi Chuanxiu coming in, the two half-orc soldiers stood up and saluted: "Your Highness! ”

Zi Chuanxiu smiled and said, "It's hard work." ”

"King of Light, you're finally here!" Hearing Zi Chuanxiu's voice, Meng Khan struggled to untie the black cloth in front of him, but several big hands immediately pressed him to the ground, and the half-orc soldier shouted in a rough voice: "Don't move, if you move again, I will beat you!" ”

Watching the scene of that cunning old guy being pressed to the ground and ravaged by several powerful arms was really pleasing to the eye, Zi Chuanxiu couldn't help but laugh: "You guys are too much, how can you treat the lord like this!" Get that black cloth away. ”

The orc soldier let go of his hand, stood up panting, tore open the black cloth of the blindfold, and shouted, "Shame! Shame! I am a duke, the head of a family! The Mongols must not remain indifferent to such humiliation! ”

"The children have gone too far, come over and apologize to Lord Monhan." Zi Chuanxiu spread his hands and said with a smile on Meng Khan: "I really can't do anything about these rabbit cubs!" Fortunately, sir, you are broad-minded, and you won't worry about these little miscellaneous people. Sir, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing? ”

Meng Khan's face was gloomy, and the anger in his eyes was about to erupt.

As the duke of his kingdom and the chief of the tribe who controlled the heavy army, he personally came to visit Zichuan Xiu, and he himself felt that he had given Zichuan Xiu a lot of face, and he expected that the other party would be flattered and welcomed ceremoniously. Unexpectedly, Zi Chuanxiu simply regarded himself as a door-to-door begging, not only sent these rude half-orc soldiers to humiliate him, but also did not even prepare chairs and tea for himself, and received him in a tattered tent, which was too unpleasant.

Thinking about the current situation, Meng Khan sat down cross-legged, his face gloomy and silent.

Zi Chuanxiu waved his hand to let the two half-orc soldiers out of the tent, and said with a smile: "Sir, if you have anything to say, you can rest assured." ”

Meng Khan said coldly: "King of Light, with this attitude, do you really think that you can eat the Protoss?" ”

"It's hard to say whether you can eat the whole demon kingdom until now, but I still have the ability to let the Mongolian people exterminate the clan."

Meng Khan's face changed color, and the provocative taste in Zichuan Xiu's words was very strong, and the human race was not good this time! But there's no reason, obviously the information I got that the main goal of the human race is to deal with the Seneans, why is Shikawa Xiu so tough on himself?

He said tentatively: "King of Light, although the kingdom has been defeated, the strength of the kingdom is still not to be underestimated! If the human race persecuts too much, and all the races of the Protoss unite against the enemy, you are an expedition of laborers, and you will never be our opponent1

"Whether it's an opponent or not, you'll know after you've fought it." Zi Chuanxiu played with the delicate horsewhip in his hand, and patted his knees rhythmically, "Bang...... Syllable...... Syllable...... "Snap ......" revealed a strong confidence in his casual movements, which made Meng Khan tremble when he saw it.

He couldn't figure out the person in front of him: was he bluffing, or was he confident?

Looking up at Meng Khan for a while, Zi Chuanxiu smiled again and said, "If you want to unite against us, you can talk to Cardin first." You murdered her eldest brother, betrayed the Senea at the very beginning, she ate your heart, you see if she is willing to unite with you? Sir, I'll tell you honestly, if we can't destroy the Seneans this time, you will be the first one they will take revenge on in the future, do you believe this sentence? ”

was hit by Zichuan Xiu's weakness, and Meng Khan suddenly softened: "King of Light, why are you so irritable? Didn't we have an agreement before? The Far East and the Mongolian people do not invade each other, are you not keeping your promises? ”

"Sir, you tore up this agreement first and followed Prince Caton to beat us."

"King of Light, when Prince Caton was overwhelmed by heavy troops, I couldn't help myself! Moreover, the agreement we made at the beginning was a non-aggression between the Mongols and the Far East, and I really did not go to war against the Far East Army! I followed Prince Caton to wage war against the Zichuan family, but against the Far East, I didn't commit any crimes! ”

Zichuan Xiu smiled: "In this way, I didn't break the agreement." At the beginning, I signed a contract with you as the King of Light in the Far East, but now I am the commander-in-chief of the Zichuan family's expeditionary force, representing the Zichuan family to conquer the Demon Kingdom, not the Far East to conquer the Mongolian people. ”

"King of Light, you, you are quibbling! I've never seen someone as shameless as you! ”

was accused of being shameless by such a character, and Shikawa Xiu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Sir, if you're here to talk this nonsense, then you can go back now. I'm very busy. ”

Meng Khan thought for a while, and finally decided to show his hole cards: "King of Light, we are also acquaintances, I frankly say that if the Zichuan family cooperates with the Mongolian people, it will be beneficial to everyone." Although the Zichuan army is very strong, it is not easy to fight in the land of the kingdom where people are unfamiliar, right? Do you want to eradicate the Seneans? We will do our best to help, but you must ensure that the Mongols are rewarded for their efforts. ”

"Is your so-called reward to make the Mongolian people the new golden family?"

Mon Khan did not deny it: "The climate and geography of the kingdom are very bad for mankind, and you and I know that you cannot stay here for a long time. It would be good for everyone to put a clan that was friendly with the Zichuan family on the throne. ”

"You're right, supporting friendly tribes to rule this land is also the national policy of my Zichuan family in the extreme east. But the point is, who to choose? ”

"My lord, this is the best choice to cooperate with our Mongolian people!" The opportunity to lobby finally came, and Meng Khan's face was full of excitement: "As soon as the Senea clan falls, the Mongol clan is the most powerful clan in the kingdom!" Our two families join forces, and the other tribes will not dare to resist, and we will share the vast land of the kingdom together! ”

Looking at Meng Khan, Zi Chuanxiu smiled and shook his head, not speaking.

"Don't you believe me, sir? In the ranking of the strength of the kingdom tribes, the Senea tribe is the first, which no one can deny, and then we are sick! Our Mongol soldiers are brave, especially our cavalry is even more powerful - of course, although the Goang and Yakun are also boasting that they are the second largest tribe in the kingdom, but don't believe them, my lord, what does the Goang have? Aren't they just a lot of people? Their armies are all soft-footed shrimp, which are crushed at the first blow; And the Yakun tribe, they are not much better, the army is relaxed......"

Zi Chuanxiu interrupted Meng Khan: "I have never doubted the strength of the Mongolian cavalry, but I doubt your credibility. Sir, it's too dangerous to be your ally. Rather than choosing the Mongols, the family lineage is actually more likely to choose the Goang as the ruling tribe of the kingdom. ”

"That hypocrite of Gotha Khan?" Meng Khan was furious: "He is also worthy of being the Demon God Emperor? ”

"Whether you are worthy or not, that's up to our Zichuan family. The family believes that among the various tribes of the demon clan, the Goang clan is quite moderate, and Gota Khan does not have much ambition, and he also has good credit, so let him be the new Demon God Emperor, and the family is very relieved. ”

"King of Light, the Goang clan is a waste, their combat effectiveness is very poor, and they have no hope of winning in the Imperial War! Even if they get the throne, they can't keep it. ”

"You don't have to worry about this lord. Since the Zichuan family chose the Goang clan, the Zichuan family's sword will naturally help them convince their competitors. ”

Meng Khan was cold, and Zi Chuanxiu's words revealed a strong murderous intent. This is a threat, but also a warning: if the Mongolian people can provide help to the Zichuan family, the Goang people can also provide it; Once the Zichuan family and the Goang clan reach an alliance, the other tribes, including the Mongols, will face annihilation. The Goang will not let those tribes pose a threat to their future regime sit on the throne, and they will use this human invasion to brutally suppress other tribes, and use the human sword to wipe out their former colleagues.

"King of Light, forming an alliance with the Goang clan, is this a national policy that the Zichuan family has decided?" The catastrophe was coming, but Meng Khan regained his composure, swept away the obscene flattery just now, his voice was slow but powerful, and his eyes looked at Zichuan Xiu calmly.

Zi Chuanxiu secretly admired that in this troubled world, it is not easy to become the head of a clan by relying on his own strength. Caton's straw bales are just rare, and the quality of the demon royal family is indeed outstanding. From Meng Khan's momentum at the moment, he knew that the embarrassment shown by the other party just now was all just a disguise.

"Sir, this is the idea of the family command, and it can indeed represent the Zichuan family's policy towards the Demon Kingdom."

"Is there any possibility of change?"

"It's not impossible to change, but for very good reasons."

"For example, there are tribes that have shown greater sincerity than the Goang tribe, can you consider it, Lord of Light?"

"For now, the Goang have shown a lot of sincerity. He is willing to send troops to serve as scouts for our army, to be the vanguard of our army, to provide food and grass for our army to the best of his ability, to hand over their tribal lands, and to provide strong men for the service of our army—in short, to provide all the needs of our army to march to the best of his ability. ”

Meng Khan's brows were furrowed, and his eyebrows twisted into the word "Sichuan": "What the Goang tribe can do, we can do it too, and we can do more and better." ”

"Sir, this level of conditions alone is not enough to make the family change their determination."

"We can hand over the hostages. I have two sons and three grandchildren, and I can let them move with the Zichuan Army. ”

"Not enough."

"The Mongolian army is willing to accept the command of the Zichuan Army and act together with the Zichuan Army."

"Not enough. Sir, frankly, we are very touched by your kindness, but remembering His Highness Caton who was with you last time - we feel that it is really dangerous to be your ally, Sir, and it is safer to be your enemy. ”

Meng Khan got up angrily and wanted to leave, Zi Chuanxiu sat on the ground and looked at him with a smile, watching Meng Khan's movements get slower and slower, and finally froze next to the curtain of the tent. He stood there for a long time, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, Meng Khan turned around violently: "King of Light, the Mongol people are willing to share the holy land of the tribe with the human race. This is our final bottom line, if you can't say yes, then there is no way! ”

"Holy Land?" Hearing this word, Zi Chuanxiu thought of the holy temple in the Far Eastern Cloud Province, the few textureless tatters that were treasured by the orcs, and a few books that no one could understand at all, and they might not be able to sell a copper plate if they were taken to the scrap acquisition office of the imperial capital. Thinking that these things had been worshiped by the orcs for thousands of years, and that they had caused himself and his comrades to sacrifice their bloody protection, Zi Chuanxiu made up his mind at that time that he would never deal with anything related to the word "saint" in his life.

Now, Meng Khan actually put a "holy place" for him!

Zichuan Xiu thanked him: "The holy land of the Mongolian people? What is there, holy relic or holy book? Well, you don't have to tell me about such a big secret, thank you, you can keep it for yourself, you don't have to share it with me. ”

Meng Khan said: "King of Light, don't you think of us as bloodthirsty barbarians, thinking that there are only a few dead people's bones or broken bowls in our holy land, and then coaxing a group of fools to kowtow there? Don't forget, I've been educated by the high level of human beings, and if I don't have anything of value, I won't exchange it for you. ”

"Uh, sorry." Zi Chuanxiu touched his head embarrassedly: "So, what is in the holy land of your clan?" ”

Meng Lu showed a proud expression: "I can't tell what those things are. But there is a saying in the tribe: if someone holds the secrets of the Holy Land, then he will be invincible in the world! ”

Zi Chuanxiu pouted: "Invincible in the world?" Sir, this is still a legend after all, but I know that there is a person who is really invincible in the world, he has never been defeated in his life, but unfortunately, he finally killed himself and died on the outskirts of Bataan - sir, of course you also know his name, the world is invincible, and there is no guarantee or anything. ”

"You mean His Majesty Carter, right?" "He didn't think much of it when he was alive, but after he died, everyone found out that he was amazing. During his tenure, the kingdom was as strong as a lion and as strong as a cloud. There has never been an emperor like His Majesty Carter in history, and it is estimated that there will never be another in the future. ”

Zi Chuanxiu noticed that Meng Khan used honorifics when he addressed Carter, and his tone was very respectful, and he raised his eyebrows: "Sir, I thought you hated Carter very much?" He's your enemy! ”

"I do hate Carter, and he is indeed our Mongol enemy, but ......," Meng Khan thought for a while, and said slowly, "He is a respectable enemy. My lord, the mysteries contained in the Holy Land are vast and profound, I have spent twenty years researching, and so far I have only scratched some surfaces, but it is enough to shock the world, and you will never regret it if you exchange the throne for us! ”

Meng Khan was taken down by the soldiers to rest, and Zichuan Xiu did not continue to participate in the military meeting, but sat in place and pondered.
