Chapter Eighty-Three: A Great Temptation

The dust has settled.

Fei Leng Cui won a big victory and gained a lot.

In total, thousands of human captives and a large number of horses, weapons and armor were captured in this battle, and by the way, the baggage team of the Sherpa family, who had been belatedly arrived, was also received.

As is customary in the Aegean, each captive could be exchanged for a ransom for freedom, in other words, it was all money.

But what slightly made Liu Zhenzhen a little unhappy was that most of these human captives were composed of servants and mercenaries, and the servants were all made up of slaves, and they would definitely not be ransomed by anyone. The knights who were loyal to the Sherpa family were certainly valuable, but they resisted the most fiercely, and they had already been killed, and there was not much left. And the two magicians didn't catch all of them, the master Fran was a space magician, and a "Colern Escape Technique" was used, and the person ran away early; The fire mage Ortega didn't have this kind of good luck, and only made a move under the fairy dragon, and was captured alive with the Earl who fell from the sky.

There are gains and losses, and the loss of Fei Lengcui this time is also not small.

It took Liu Zhenzhen two full days to take care of the prisoners, bury the corpses, and count the loot, and the fire on the red clay slope has not been extinguished.

The more Ning Yu counted the data, the more tricky she felt.

That night, while having dinner in the lord's hall built by the bamboo shed, Ning Yu worriedly reported the current problems to Liu Zhenzhen.

"Not enough food is a big problem."

"I thought about it when the fire started." Liu Zhenzhen also felt a little scratching his head.

Before this battle was fought, no one expected that the other party would come to "burn the red clay slope", and all the people only packed up some soft and soft roads before crossing the river. The herds of sand beasts, fat antelopes, bantam horses, and deer were all kept in captivity in the big animal pen behind the high slope, and the fun was so great that they were completely served in a pot, and by the way, they also brought the salted fish and pickles dried on the high slope and the grain stored in the cave.

"Although after this battle, a lot of war horses and Sherpa family baggage carts were obtained, but the income was still far less than the consumption. Another annoying problem is that these slave hunters came with a heart to plunder, and they didn't carry any coins with them, and although Fei Lengcui won the battle, he was unable to collect any cash from the captives at once. Ning Yu counted the accounts one by one: "We need a large amount of money to buy food now. ”

"Didn't we capture a large number of war horses?" Avril asked curiously.

"There's nothing wrong with short-term consumption, but it's certainly not okay with long-term use. Horse meat is too dry, and if there is no vegetable and grain to match, it is easy to get sepsis if it is eaten as a staple food for a long time. Elder Andulan vetoed the idea.

"There are 1,200 people in Fei Lengcui, plus more than 1,000 captives, it is too cost-effective to rely on war horses to satisfy hunger, a well-trained and qualified war horse can be worth hundreds of gold coins or even tens of thousands of gold coins in the human world, and it is really a bit unreasonable to use it to fill the belly." In the end, Fox was born, and Helen's eyes suddenly turned yellow and clear.

"Let's exchange these captured loot for gold coins to buy food in Witherspoon." Helen said happily.

"If you want to rebuild the Fei Leng Cui, I'm afraid that the money may not be enough." Fairy Dragon Daisy pondered for a while and said: ""Earth Fire Burning City" is also called "Three Days of Fire", this magic scroll is a standard war-type forbidden spell magic, it is to use magic power to absorb the fire of the center of the earth to participate in the attack, it is a very powerful fire magic, its power is enough to destroy one-eighth of Witherspoon, the largest city in the Northeast Province, the most vicious place of this magic is ―――――――― even a stone castle, under the burning of this magic flame for three days, it will eventually be burned into pieces. ”

The fairy dragon's words made everyone's hearts heavy all of a sudden.

It's been two days.

The magical flames on the high slopes of the red clay showed no sign of extinguishing, but grew brighter and brighter; The silhouette of the sleeping beauty on the red clay slope is not clear at all, and the eyes are full of twisted fire waves, jumping fire spirits and dissipating flying fire chips, the only object that can barely be seen is the stone statue embedded in the middle of the soil of the red clay high slope, under the ravages of the fire elves, the stone statue has turned into a fiery red transparent color, and the sand and enamel in the red clay have become flowing glass-like liquid, flowing along the face and body of the idol.

If it really burns for three days, the stone that the fairy dragon said can also be burned, and it doesn't seem to be a mouthful.

Can summoning the "Rainstorm Technique" extinguish this fire? Avril rolled up her sleeves and pulled out the magical bamboo tube. This bamboo tube made of bamboo roots immediately attracted the attention of the fairy dragon.

"Hot and cold excite each other, and it breaks faster." Liu Zhenzhen shook his head.

"Is that all we have to say?" The bamboo hut was very simple, and Helen could see at a glance the high slopes of the fiery emerald laterite.

Her eyes were moist.

Helen's words are the voice of almost all the people of Fei Leng Cui, no matter who they are, seeing their homes being engulfed in flames, they can only stand by and watch and do nothing, and their hearts are not very comfortable.

O'Neill leaned to the side and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Not necessarily, our Emerald is a red clay city, after this fire, maybe we can be blessed by misfortune, and the human race may give us an impregnable fortress this time." Liu Zhenzhen smiled freely: "Everything has both sides of the positive and negative, we have to look at it ourselves first." Even if it really gets to the point where Daisy said, as long as we still have hands, the Emerald will never disappear. ”

"An impregnable fortress? Richard...... Are you stimulated by something? Helen touched Liu's shocked head with concern.

"Forget it... I told you, I couldn't understand it all at once. Liu Zhenzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Don't say it, it's different to have a man in the family at this time." Mentor Cui Beiqian said with a smile: "Although I know that Richard is blowing Bul, I feel a lot more relieved all of a sudden. ”

This made everyone laugh.

Liu Zhenzhen also smiled.

I blow a boole? If you were like me, you would not have seen the big kiln that burned bricks in the production team, and you would not think so. Liu Daguan said in his heart.

"By the way, why did you stop Goode from exterminating rats? If this continues, the pandas' favorite food, the Buddha's belly bamboo forest, will also be destroyed! Ning Yu asked.

The heat wave transmitted by the fiery magic flame elves on the red clay slope through the geothermal heat has already roasted the plants within a radius of half a mile of Fei Leng Cui in silence, and the alder bananas and Buddha belly bamboos on the red clay square have all been steamed dry and turned into the shape of a century-old poplar in the desert.

If the mammoths' food, the alder banana, is destroyed, then the lord still has the fountain of life and the alder banana seeds, but the misfortune is that the pandas' favorite food, the Buddha's belly bamboo forest, also has a problem.

Since the red soil slope has become a volcano, the guinea pigs in this half mile range seem to be seriously stimulated, crazy and desperately gnawing on the roots of the rest of the bamboo forest, every night, in the dead of night, the sound of "rustling" from below the surface of the ground to chew the bamboo roots is terrifying.

Pan Shuai and the panda warriors once dug up the surface of some bamboo forests to inspect, and in the deep soil, the small rat paths were full of chewed bright yellow bamboo chips. Although the bamboo forest in the belly of the Buddha is as wide as three or four hundred acres, according to the posture of these guinea pigs to devour their lives, I am afraid that after half a month, this bamboo forest has escaped the doom of being roasted dry by the ground heat, but it cannot escape the ravages of these rat mouths.

Goode and the pandas wanted to exterminate the rats, but they were stopped by Liu Zhenzhen, not only Ning Yu wanted to know why, but everyone was actually a little confused in their hearts.

"These guinea pigs are delirious from the fire, poor little brutes. Don't worry, their bellies are so big, how many can they gnaw? Originally, I was going to clean them up, but I decided to let them go for a few days for the time being......." Liu Zhenzhen sold a pass: "You will understand in a few days, maybe our food is all on these little beasts." ”

When it comes to food, everyone's eyebrows are twisted together again.

"It would be nice if this battle was fought in the fall." Ning Yu sighed.

If it is autumn, when the reindeer herd of Tanggula Peak is just coming down, if the weather does not get colder, the Sangan River will not freeze, and fishing without ice will become a luxury, and if you can pick wild vegetables in autumn, if you save the money for food, even if the red soil slope is burned, you can have enough money to rebuild a stone castle.

Now there is nothing, if you just rely on those guinea pigs in the bamboo forest, the current population of Fei Lengcui is more than 1,200 people, plus the captives, it is really a bit worrying." They all said don't worry, my lord, I have a plan! Liu Zhenzhen comforted everyone again.

Liu Zhenzhen recalled that his mother had told him about a strange incident that appeared in the bamboo forest in his hometown during the difficult period of the country in 1960, and that strange incident had saved countless people.

The fairy dragon frowned and stared at the lord who was lost in thought, she was a little worried that this lord would play the idea of the Razor Mountain goblins, where most of the people were now old and weak, women and children, and if they robbed them of their food in winter, these goblins would die.

"Don't worry! I have already admitted that the Razor Mountain goblins are my people, and there is no reason for a lord to steal food from his own people. Liu Zhenzhen saw the thoughts of this little hoof at a glance.

"Master, what about those human captives, what to do with them?" Bellamy swept his long golden hair and said, "Especially those mercenaries, they are not a good thing, the cellar has no door, it is not very effective to imprison them, now people are running away every night, I have already cut several." They also don't want to think about who can escape under the noses of the mastiffs in the Great Wilderness! ”

"What about Vieri?" Liu Zhenzhen asked, "Didn't I let him and Karui manage these captives as a whole?" How did this happen to you? You've worked hard enough to clean up the battlefield. Where is he? Why didn't you see him when you ate? ”

"It's winter, Vieri is a bear man, although he doesn't need to hibernate, but he must sleep a little longer, and it's too difficult for you to let him take care of the captives." Ning Yu reminded her Ailang in a whisper.

"How did I forget about this?" Liu Zhen stuck out his tongue. "By the way, what about the Batman traitor? I have been busy with miscellaneous affairs for the past two days, and I have not had time to deal with and interrogate these captives. ”

"The magician and this count are strictly guarded by our militia. He and the magician kept clamoring to see you, and I told them to dismiss the idea. Goode's fist clenched with a snap.

"To be honest, I'm very interested in knowing that the Bat Clan Beamon can become a colt master in the Duchy of Humanity." Liu Zhenzhen picked up the Katyusha who was running around, waved his hand, and motioned to bring the two captives over.

The looks of Count Totti and Master Ortega are clearly not related to the noble magician and the colt.

Looking at the two humans tied to the big wooden stake, Liu Zhenzhen looked up and down for a long time, and only then could he barely see that it was the two of them from their blue noses and swollen faces and unrecognizable appearances.

"Two distinguished friends, allow me to say good evening." Liu Zhenzhen pulled out the wooden wedge from the mouths of the two humans and said politely.

"How can you be so rude to a venerable magician! Lord Beamon! You're so unchivalrous! Master Ortega was so excited that he coughed up a mouthful of bloody phlegm as he spoke: "I... Ahem... Ask for redemption of myself! ”

"Let's talk about it." Liu Zhenzhen smiled and pinched Master Ortega's face.

Gogo flew in laughing all the way on the parrot, and the macaw landed on Mr. Sorcerer's shoulder and pecked at the master's earlobe with its hooked beak.

"Silly b~silly b~" Macaw said to the master in a strange tone.

This is a sentence that it had learned with great difficulty when the lord made his declaration the night before.

The faces of the girls in the bamboo shed were all red, and Master Ortega almost went into shock on the spot.

Count Totti, who was next to him, struggled to open his swollen eyelids and stared at Liu Zhenzhen firmly.

"Where's your wings?" Liu Zhenzhen circled around him three times, and finally found a small black ball curled up in a ball from the shoulder blade exposed by his torn clothes.

"We can make a deal." Count Totti stared at Liu Zhenzhen, beads of sweat rolling down his face――――― Guoguo's hand strength was not light.

"Shut up traitor!" Hearing this, Godani immediately drew her long sword angrily: "If it weren't for you Warrenboll and humans to flank our Bode clan in the air battle of Tennessee back then, how could our Bode clan become only two left!" ”

"Miss, make no mistake, my blood is not all the blood of the Wallenbore, I am just a hybrid of batman and human." Count Totti said calmly.

"Half-blood?" Liu Zhenzhen rolled his eyes.

"Now the pure-blooded Batmen are just gone." Count Toti sighed: "Even if it's a half-race like us, the Holy See of St. Paul has been arresting. ”

"I caught a guy the other day, who claims to be the brother of Dolot's pony, and he said his name is Cassano, do you have this brother?" Liu Zhenzhen asked.

"Yes, Cassano is indeed my brother." Count Totty nodded in acknowledgement.

"Then why can't he fly into the sky like you?" Liu Zhenzhen was a little incomprehensible. Before that nest was "planted with lotus", I hadn't seen him show any Batman racial abilities.

"The hybrid of batman and human, some people will not "awaken" for the rest of their lives, and only those who "awaken" can have the racial ability of the batman. Count Totti said: "My brother and my father have not awakened, and the only people in the family who have "awakened" are me and my uncle, the Marquis of Capello, the prime minister of the Duchy of Dorot. ”

Although Master Ortega next to "He......" was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp, he didn't expect that a human principality, under one person, and above ten thousand people, the prime minister was actually a Beamon.

"I didn't expect the Sherpa family, who have been doing business with us for so many years, to be Batpeople." The beautiful snake tutor smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Kill him!" Godani's sword shook out a cloud of silver flowers.

"Don't kill me! Leave me in the Duchy of Humanity and continue to plague mankind! Count Totti wriggled desperately, and said in a hurried tone, "We Batmen are also Beamon!" Be merciful! Let me go to the realm of men, and I will continue to plague them humans! ”

"It's kind of interesting." Liu Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, and he flicked Gotanni's long sword lightly: "Go on, traitor, you have already aroused my ** flame." ”

"The position of Grand Duke Dolot, our family has been planning for a long time! Archduke Dolot was actually given a colorless and odorless chronic toxin by my uncle and me, so he was bedridden and about to die! Count Totti said through gritted teeth.

Master Ortega, a magician enshrined in the court, heard this, and his eyes were full of horror, and he stared at the Count with a dead end.

"Can understand what you're doing." Liu Zhenzhen nodded, "But, this is my business?" ”

"If my wife becomes Grand Duke of Dolot, I am the future regent of Dolot! Then I can help the Kingdom of Beamon even more generously, and I can increase the number of weapons shops in the Kingdom of Beamon! I ......"

"Shut up!" Liu Zhenzhen pinched the earl's chin, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

"It doesn't matter if people are bad." Liu Zhenzhen sneered: "But if you are bad, you have a backbone, and if you dare to do bad things, you must dare to do bad things." You're bad enough, it's just that it's not bad at all, and it's so bad that people want to kill you. Who do you think I am, you idiot? Just by your two words, I will let you go? ”

"I'm telling the truth." Count Totti argued desperately, "As long as you grasp me by this handle, can I jump out of the palm of your hand?" As long as I am spared, Dolot will actually be Beamon's territory in the future! ”

"Richard ......" The beautiful snake tutor stood up and stopped talking.

The entrance to the Great Plains of Dolot and Karimdor has been connected for a thousand years! Return to the Great Plains of Karimdo, how hot that word is! Even if King Beamon is here, the temptation is too heartwarming.

Even Robbie, who hated these human raiders the most, suddenly became hot.

Godani froze, too.

"Ladies and gentlemen, with the strength of our Beamon Kingdom, it is impossible to counterattack the Great Plains of Karimdo." Liu Zhenzhen smashed his mouth and shook his head slowly.

"If I become the regent, I will make the Kingdom of Beamon and the Duchy of Dolot officially a trading country, and when the time comes, if you want to go to the Great Plains of Karimdo, you will be able to go unimpeded! Think about it! Karim Dora Great Plains! The holy mountain of Beamon, Hyjal! There are still megalithic statues and totem poles of the god of war, Kampas! Count Totti obviously knew very well what he should say now, and as soon as he spoke, none of the Beamons present could breathe normally.

Although a thousand years have passed, the hostility of most human countries towards Beamon has never subsided, and even the economy and trade have been blockading the Kingdom of Beamon, and Dolot, a vassal state of the Empire of San Francisco, a continental power, has blocked the eyes of all those who yearn for the holy mountain Hygar.

Worship the holy mountain~~ The god of war is above! In the entire kingdom of Beamon, only the "Sacrificial Legend" Lord Mourinho has had this experience, but unfortunately he is the only one who has flying monsters in Beamon.

Hearing this, Helen's hands trembled a little.

"It's a condition you can't refuse." The beautiful snake tutor let out a long breath.

"Wait!" Ning Yu stood up, walked in front of the earl, and said in a deep voice, "There are many captives here who know your true identity, even if we let you go, I'm afraid that once you go back, you will have to face the ruling of the Inquisition, right?" Burning at the stake? Or crucified? ”

"You can choose not to let these people go." Count Totti said lightly.

"There's also a magician who has escaped, and there's no way to hide it." Ning Yu said again.

"Master Fran and my uncle have been friends for many years, and you should know that magicians are atheists......" Count Totty pulled his tattered lips and smiled smugly, "As long as I am allowed to go back, nothing will be a problem." ”

"Don't forget that Dorot isn't just you, there's also the Danzer family." Fairy Dragon Daisy also interjected.

"The heavily armed giant scythe I hired is the Tornado mercenary group from the Danzer family, and you should also know that the mercenaries have the habit of carrying carrier pigeons with them, and since I entered the wasteland for a week, I have not concealed the purpose of why I came to Fei Leng Emerald this time, of course, due to the military meeting, I have no way to hide it at all. I don't believe that these heavily armed scythes did not inform their masters of the true situation. Count Totti said in a tone full of temptation: "As long as I return to Dorot in defeat, think about it, as long as I spread the beauty of Fei Leng Emerald how unparalleled in the world, what will the Danze family do?" ”

"I'm afraid that now the Danze family is already preparing, or is already on the way, maybe the Danze family is ready to intercept you halfway." The fairy dragon Daisy tightened her cloak and sneered, "You humans do these things more beautifully than anyone else. ”

"That's right! Beautiful young lady, your wisdom shines as brightly as a champa! Defeat them! It's like beating us! The earl's narrowed eyes widened suddenly: "How strong is the military power of Fei Lengcui! Now you have enough time to call for help! The "Tornado" mercenary group is only 10,000 people, this is in the Kingdom of Beamon, you have enough troops to kill them all! In that case, Dolot is me... No... It's in the palm of the kingdom of Beamon! ”

Master Ortega's whole person had collapsed, and he kept shaking his head, as if he was fifty years old.

Under such conditions, all the captives will no longer have any hope of survival.

Master Ortega did not believe that such a condition, Beamon would refuse.

There was a sudden silence in the bamboo shed.

"Although it is said that all the prisoners of this battle should belong to you, this matter is too high! Be sure to report it to the temple, and it will be up to the temple to decide. Cui Beiqian thought for a long time, and quietly leaned into Liu Zhenzhen's ear and said softly, a soft aroma blew Liu Zhenzhen's ear to itch.

"You guy's mouth is really good." Liu Zhenzhen put his sideburns together with both hands and gave Count Totty a thumbs up: "The Wallenboer clan can survive in the human race for a thousand years and not be extinct, and it does have its own set. ”

"I will not treat your lord badly, in return, I will compensate you with a large amount of gold coins in the future, and I will also open a weapon shop and other workshops in Fei Lengcui, many, many workshops, my lord, you and I will do business together!" Count Totti continued to tempt.

The blockade policy of all human kingdoms has always been the biggest problem in controlling the Beamon Kingdom, so much so that some human merchants who run the gang are also very open in the Beamon Kingdom.

If this count can really be the regent of the Duchy of Dolot, there is indeed no problem in doing so. If this promise is really fulfilled, the trade volume of the Beamon Kingdom will also increase significantly, which will be a huge boost to the national strength of the Beamon Kingdom. In fact, there is no need for an open-door policy, only a private agreement with each other, the control of businessmen is no longer strict, and banditry is eliminated, then there will definitely be a large number of businessmen going back and forth between the two countries.

Similarly, the Sherpas did not suffer a loss, and the trade was a win-win situation, with both sides getting what they gained.

This Count Totti, a descendant of the Great Traitor Batman, has not said a word today that is not coveted by all Beamon.

"There's no reason to refuse." Even the fairy dragon Daisi pursed her touching cherry lips and bowed slightly: "There is really no reason to refuse." ”

The words of the fairy dragon spoke to the hearts of many people.

"Tomorrow I will ride the flaming crane to the wasteland to see if the Danzawa family has really entered the wasteland." Liu Zhenzhen shook his head again, he found that he had already shook his head many times tonight.

"What should I do?" The eyes of the three proprietresses were all fixed on Liu Zhenzhen.

"What do you say, Robbie?" Liu Zhenzhen looked at the embarrassment sacrifice: "You have the deepest hatred for them, as long as Robbie says what you do, I will do it, I don't care about the temple, and I don't care about other people." ”

"I ......" Robert . Baggio's eyes flickered, but one thing was for sure, and that was moved.

"I know what to do." Liu Zhenzhen straightened the collar, patted Robbie's shoulder, turned around and said with a smile: "Good......"

Pan Shuai immediately stepped forward, and his hill-like physique shrouded all the shadows of Count Totti.

The count's face lost its smug brilliance and all the color of blood in an instant.

"That's right! Kill him! Master Ortega shouted from the side.

"Wait a minute." Godani pressed Pan Shuai's broad shoulders.

"Our compatriots also have a group of Harpies and a group of Boer Minotaurs living in the dark underworld of the Karimdor Plains, and we need a safe passage to get them out. And Dolot is the gate to this safe passage. The swan girl said coldly: "This kind of scum traitor, let them harm mankind, it is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Liu's shocking eyes glanced around, Helen and Cui Beiqian's eyes were earnest, and O'Neill's eyes were full of longing.

"This captive is using us." Liu Zhenzhen said.

"This kind of use is unstoppable." Cui Beiqian said.

"Let's be honest, my heart was actually moved." Liu Zhenzhen smiled: "I don't know why, when I think of being able to open up a safe land road, and thinking of being able to save my Bimeng compatriots who live in the dark world underground, my heart and my blood are like boiling." Oh... And the holy mountain of Hyjal! ”

"I'm also a sacrifice!" Liu Zhen let out a long sigh.

Sacrifice? Master Ortega was dumbfounded along with the Count.

This guy charged into battle and swept through thousands of armies, but it was actually a Beamon priest who was famous for his physical weakness? The brains of the two humans were in disarray.

"If you can do all this, you will be a great hero among Beamon!" Godani gave the lord a rare smile.

"Let's think about it for the long term." Liu Zhenzhen took out a cigar: "Fei Lengcui is still a piece of duckweed in the huge waves, mentor, you go back to the temple tomorrow and secretly report this matter to the Great Shaman of Wei'an, Robbie, send you back to the saline-alkali forest tomorrow, and help me gather some volunteers...... The god of war is above, once the decision is made this time, the flames of war will be rekindled! ”

"No problem." Robbie and the Beauty Snake Mentor both nodded solemnly.

Liu Zhenzhen shook the cigar in his hand, and Gotanie immediately took out the flint and helped Liu Zhenzhen light the cigar.

"That's the choice of smart people." Count Totti smiled heartily, "Can you put me down now, my lord?" ”

"Pan Shuai......." Liu Zhenzhen stretched out a puff of smoke and smothered it into his stomach.

Goode is upright.

"Three ribs." Liu Zhenzhen comfortably spat out a string of smoke rings.

In Count Totti's hairy eyes, Pan Shuai punched him in the ribs, this punch was not very hard, but there was still a muffled cracking sound of bones.

"Ho......" The Count's mouth was wide open, but he could only moan like a dying cat.

"Don't be surprised." Liu Zhenzhen flicked the cigar ash in the earl's gaping mouth.

"It's one thing to agree to your terms, but it's another thing if I want to beat you." Liu Zhenzhen said.

The Earl was just about to say something, when Pan Shuai's other punch came up again.

(To be continued)
