Chapter 277: Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge
.
In order to be sure that he was not mistaken, Liu Zhenzhen rubbed his eyes twice in a row, first found the Taimurraya Snow Mountain and the Sanggan River, a tributary of Xueshui, from the map, and then paddled his finger to the south bank. There are only these two large dirt slopes in the entire Danube that can barely be called "mountains"!
Liu Zhenzhen saw that the map on the wall of the tent was still hung with a round piece of glass tied with a rope, and he grabbed it and looked at it on the razor hill and the red clay slope, and the glass lens magnified a bunch of cuneiform characters that he couldn't understand at all; There are many such fly-headed characters on this map, and Liu Zhenzhen enlarged them one by one.
What made Liu Zhenzhen feel the most terrifying was that through the magnifying glass, he could even see clearly that on this map, even the middle road from Razor Mountain to Taimurraya was marked!
It's so precise! This terrible military map! The red dots mark the cities and settlements, the black dots are the no-man's land, and the blue dots are the army garrison areas, and the entire map of the border defense areas of the border army in Bimeng can be seen at a glance on this map.
The fact that the enemy country has surveyed and drawn a military map with such accuracy is too chilling for Beamon!
"The god of war is above! Fei Leng Cui can't even be found on our own standard map! General Reyes grinned beside Liu Zhenzhen, and his eyes straightened as he looked at the military map with a wall of tents of different sizes.
"No wonder so many desert bandits have always come to the Beamon Kingdom to plunder and escape, it turns out that there is a map to direct them to take the path!" Liu Zhenzhen picked up the pomegranate on the ground, peeled out a pomegranate seed and threw it into his mouth.
"What the hell is this country trying to do?" General Reyes asked, as a professional soldier, he certainly knew how important such a map was for military purposes.
"That's my problem." Liu Zhen sat on the main seat with a loud voice. Stretch motioned for Reyes to sit cross-legged as well.
O'Neill tugged at Alidaei's hair, wrenched his golden knife and looked at the lord on the throne, who was always trying to stand up because the desert warrior was struggling hard. was kicked in the right leg by Fei Luo from behind, his tibia was broken with a "click", and he fell to the ground with a "touch".
"What's your name? Warrior. Liu Zhenzhen raised his chin at the Golden Knife Capricorn.
"Phew! How can the name of the desert warrior tell you Western barbarians! Alidaii was half-kneeling, twisting his neck stubbornly and raising his head, spilling a handful of his hair that had been pulled off.
"The thing I hate most in my life is this kind of stone in the pit." Liu Zhenzhen pointed to this desert warrior. Said to General Reyes.
General Fox also felt that it was a bit tricky, and everyone hated this kind of hard bones. But there is still a lot of information that needs to be taken out of his mouth, and now looking at the backbone shown by this guy, it seems that it is difficult to get any words.
"O'Neill, I'll leave this to you, yes. Before he dies, you let him see his samurai sitting on turnips. β
Liu Zhenzhen was a little impatient, waved his hand to the hippopotamus poet, pointed at the imam and said, "Old man, come here." β
"Your Majestyγγγγγγ Can I ask you what "sitting on turnips" is? Reyes couldn't help but ask.
"Dig a hole in the sand, stuff these desert warriors into it, and use knives... Hey..... Liu Zhen smiled gloomily: "γγγγγ Make a slit in the brain six and pour mercury into it. Then with a whoosh, the turnip grows. β
"I also have to prepare a basin of salt water and pour it on it so that the radish grows a little more lush." O'Neill burst into a wild laugh.
No matter how stupid General Reyes is, he still listens to this 'sitting turnip' as a skinned person, and he doesn't dare to speak anymore. Because he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would vomit out his stomach as well.
"It's your turn, old man, tell me, what is this map? What does the small block above mean? Two cold rays of light in Liu Zhenzhen's eyes shot directly at the imam of the munch, and one sentence made the entire tent freeze to the bone like the cold current of Temurraya: "Don't make me unhappy, as long as I hear a logical error, I will let a group of mastiffs pull out your intestines!" β
"That's the map... Military Map γγγγγ The imam looked nervously at the map with beads of sweat on his beard, and used a magnifying glass to distinguish it: "The wedge-shaped font on it means strategically important." β
"Who drew this map?"
"Merchant, this was drawn by the merchants of the Mulan Empire, and it started hundreds of years ago."
"Damn!" Liu Zhen slapped the table.
"Are they plotting against our kingdom of Bimon?" General Reyes also rose steeply.
"In the past three hundred years, the Mulan Empire has annexed seventeen small countries, for the Aegean Continent, although there is this idea, but the current situation in the entire Taklamago Desert is not too stable, there are ten small countries that have formed an alliance against Mulan, as for the scheme, the magicians of the Aegean Continent are too powerful, Mulan invaded the Aegean Continent, it is difficult to guarantee that these powerful mages will not interfere." The imam kept his head down, his eyes rolling around with a sly look, and he was wise enough to tell himself that the Beamon in front of him would not kill him for the time being.
"Nonsense! Once the kingdom of Beamon is occupied by you, I can guarantee that the Empire of San Francisco will march into the Danube! Liu Zhenzhen sneered: "You are an imam, right?" Tell me about the establishment of your imams, your numbers, your composition, and everything about the Mulan Empire. β
"Honorable Yabushan, our imam is a Zoroastrian clergyman." Master Montasari straightened up and said proudly, "Zoroastrianism is the state religion of eighty percent of the entire Taklamargo Desert!" We are born elemental messengers, a natural force bestowed by Mani, the goddess of fire! Compared with the number of imams and the Beamon sacrifice, there should not be much difference, from the lowest-level Loulan imam, the exquisite imam, the ghost cave imam, and all the way to the Fulin imam, they are all excellent flame mages. If you reach the Imam of the Mask, you will be able to use fire magic, the imam of the higher level will be able to see through the secrets of light illusions, and the imam of the highest level will be able to use magnetic and lightning spells. β
"What? Goddess Mani? Liu Zhenzhen frowned and asked, "Did you just say that the goddess you worship is Mani?" So what does Manichaeism have to do with your Zoroastrianism? β
"It's the goddess Mani. Respectfully, Yabshan. The imam blinked his eyes and said: "Manichaeism is an ancient name, and now our Zoroastrianism, as well as the Pyrocoriastrianism, the Turohonian Religion, all the desert religions are branches of Manichaeism, of course, only our Zoroastrianism is the most authentic Manichaean goddess believers." β
"The Manichaean Cult spread from the desert to the Aegean continent in the first place, huh?" Liu Zhen laughed. My heart suddenly brightened, and it turned out that the idea of the desert country to fight the Aegean Continent was not a day or two. It's been 3,000 years, and as the fuse, there was a sea and land war.
"I know about this, and we also have texts that record that three thousand years ago, the Manichaean Cult was also very popular in the Aegean Continent." The imam smiled innocently.
"I'm afraid it's the spirit of ethnic solidarity in the Aegean continent to fight against the invaders. Scared you three thousand years ago, didn't you? Liu Zhenzhen pursed his lips and asked Master Ortega, who had just entered the tent: "Old Ao, you just played against these imams, how do you feel?" What about their fire-based magic? β
"The imam's spell casting speed is very fast, but the power is limited, most of their spells are single attack land, small area combat is okay, large-scale combat, their strike range is too narrow. I reckon they take far longer to prepare a big spell than our Aegean fire mages. Master Ortega said, bowing down.
"I think it sucks." Mo'er's words were more direct: "What kind of light flame, light illusion spell, there is also holy light magic in the Aegean Continent, and that magnetic spell that can only be cultivated at the highest level, isn't that kind of spell the same as the spell of the colorful dragon and the three-legged golden toad?" What can a weak mage do with that kind of spell? Could it be that their Mu Ochre Imam is as capable of fighting as a colorful dragon? β
The imam did not refute it. Just smiled.
"Old man, who told you to stop? Moving on, when did the Mulan Empire target us? Why do you always come to our kingdom of Bimon to rob? ***οΌ And who took our princess captive! Liu Zhenzhen grabbed the masked imam's neckline: "Don't say nonsense like you don't know, if you want to try the consequences of saying this, just open your mouth." β
"Dear Yabushan, the Mulan Empire is still busy sweeping away the surrounding desert countries for the time being, in fact, the people who have been plundered in the territory of the Beamon Kingdom are all merchants of the western capital of the Mulan Empire 'Kalimantan City', Mulan's western province is located in a remote area, and there is no desert country in the surrounding areas, so the official can calmly plan the slave trade, you know, the beauty of Beamon is very popular in 'Kalimantan'." The masked imam was also very cooperative: "But once the Mulan Empire clears the surrounding countries, the 500,000 army will not be idle!" Ten ** will still go to the Qin Continent to pan for gold; All the desert powers in the past have this dream, and today's Mulan territory is the closest to the Aegean continent, which is a unique condition. β
"In this way, Helen's enemies are these merchants who are messing around in 'Kalimantan City', and they have finally found the right master." Liu Zhenzhen whistled.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Helen said through gritted teeth.
"This master, is there a Beamon in the desert?" General Reyes interjected.
"Dear Yabshan, we have another name for Beamon in the desertγγγγγ Bo mud. The imam said with a little disdain: "The Bo Ni have never established a state, they all appeared as clans, and over time, these Bo Ni have almost become extinct, as far as I know, there are four Bo Ni attached to the rule of the Mulan Empire's Kaliman City, namely the Vultures, the Lizards, and the Snake People and Scorpions, all of whom are professional mercenaries. β
"In the east, it is called Confucianism, and in the desert, it is called Bo Ni." Liu Zhenzhen felt that he was really knowledgeable enough to understand such a statement about Beamon.
"Isn't Mulan's 'Kalimantan City' big?" General Reyes skillfully asked whom, "How many people does this city have?" β
"We in Kalimantan City have a population of 1.2 million, esteemed Yabushen."
"So many people? No way! And what about the standing forces? Liu Zhenzhen opened his mouth wide, thinking that our entire expeditionary corps is only 20,000 people, and I am afraid that my appetite for eating this city is a little big.
"The standing army has a total of 40,000." The imam raised four fingers and said slowly: "Actually, the entire 'Kalimantan City' could have raised more troops, but because there are no countries around, there are only 40,000 troops. β
"Your Majesty, we must report this news to His Highness Karn, the Legion Commander." General Reyes kindly reminded the chief shaman, "While the two elven knights are still here, we should let them both return immediately." β
"There's no hurry, Reyes, no matter what the situation is, since you've come, you'll definitely have to give it a try, and you can't just go back anyway." Liu Zhenzhen signaled General Fox to calm down, frowned at the imam and asked, "The desert men look very backbone, and you, why do you tell me such an inside story?" β
"I hope you can put me back and I can pay the ransom." The masked imam said with a smile.
"If we defeat Kalimantan, who will be able to pay the ransom for you?" Liu Zhen laughed.
"The god of war in Kalimantan has returned, brave Yabushan, no matter how brave you are, Commander Rommel will never be something you can compete with, perhaps he is already on his way." The imam smiled faintly: "That's why I told you so much information, I hope you can see my sincerity, let me be the messenger of the two armies, and by the way, spare my life, after all, I am just an ordinary desert man, not a brave Capricorn." β
Liu Zhenzhen smiled and nodded frequently, he was very satisfied with the imam's honesty.
"Bellamy, take this imam down to rest, remember, first break his tendons and break his spine, who made the imam also a mage." Liu Zhenzhen nodded gracefully to the masked imam: "Dear imam, in order to express my gratitude and follow your wishes, I will spare your life." β
Master Montasari looked at Liu Zhen in disbelief, his pupils widened to the limit, and he trembled for a long time, just remembering that he was about to reach out to resist, where could the warriors around him still allow him to be presumptuous, Fei Luo smashed his waist and eye with the scabbard at once, and stepped on his head with one foot, and the cold light flashed, and the long knife out of the sheath had cut a half-inch-deep bloody wound on the Achilles tendon of the imam's two legs, and the little giant Iverson's cowhide boots immediately stepped on one of the imam's hands, with a "click", I saw the imam lying on the ground let out a terrible scream, and the five fingers were greatly forked.
Iverson grabbed the palm of his foot, twisted it hard, slowly lifted his foot, and stomped heavily on the other palm of the imam, and the imam tilted his head on the spot and fainted.
All the girls standing in the tent, including General Reyes, turned their heads away from the bloody scene.
"Your Majesty, can you be a little more lenient, after all, he has surrendered just now, and he has told us so much information about the enemy." General Reyes saw that the Liao imam was dragged away, so he turned his head and said to Liu Zhenzhen: "Actually, including today's killing of prisoners, I also think it's a bit too much." β
