Chapter 407: Sand City

The group reached the pontoon bridge and did not continue on.

If they continued to move forward during the day, they would inevitably attract the attention of the Kraken army, so they chose to sneak day and night.

The moonlit night is coming~

The group touched the pontoon bridge and sneaked into the battlefield opposite.

The pontoon bridge is so big that there are five or six rivers under the pontoon bridge alone.

These rivers crisscross from north to south, and at the course of each river, the sound of gurgling water is loud.

The source of these rivers is the sea of three continents and four islands.

This pontoon bridge, before the conflict between the island and the four islands, was used as a bridge for commercial transactions between the two parties, and the original intention of building this bridge was to greatly simplify the convenience between goods.

But now that the war is tight, this pontoon bridge is no longer a bridge of communication between the two sides, but exists as a strategic chokepoint.

Once one side occupies the pontoon bridge, it means that the attack can be defended, and similarly, the other side of the pontoon bridge is bound to fall into a passive state on the battlefield.

It seems that as long as we walk along the river, we will reach the opposite bank.

The little prince Gu Tianling said slowly.

The place where the rivers converge here must be a place where the enemy army can drink water and station, Yu Cangyu said affirmatively.

So......

If we follow the river directly, the probability of encountering the enemy will increase, and from this kind of river trajectory, we will most likely be able to meet the enemy, so it is better to go the opposite way, go around the back to the enemy's back, Bai Yunxiao proposed.

As an arithmetician, his actuarial abilities are extremely accurate.

The little prince also nodded and said, "What I said is that you can't meet the demon clan head-on at the moment." ”

If you want to understand the enemy, you must penetrate the enemy's interior, and then disintegrate them from the inside, Ye Lin said slowly.

Although there are more roads, it is a good way to detour, and the little prince nodded.

Everyone's eyes glanced in the direction of the river, and they immediately decided to go around in the opposite direction.

I was going to go down the river, but at this moment it became up the river.

I continued to move forward, but I encountered no resistance.

Everyone looked around, although it was a battlefield, but there was a good scenery here, along the way, everyone was relaxed and happy, quite leisurely.

After about five days of detouring, everyone has gone around to the rear of the demon clan.

These days, they follow the rule of day and night.

At this moment, just in front of them, patches of golden wheat fields appeared in view.

In the wheat field, an old man cut the wheat and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Old farmer, now that the war is spreading, how can you still cut wheat here, the little prince couldn't help but look at the old man suspiciously.

As soon as the old peasant heard someone speak, he immediately turned around and said unhurriedly, "You are strangers!"

Everyone nodded in disapproval.

Then it's no wonder, you don't know the situation here, most of the wheat we grow here is to be transported to the battlefield, so we can only plant wheat fields here to feed the army's grain and grass.

Providing grain and grass for the military camp, wouldn't this harvest be greatly reduced, Ye Lin felt a pang in his heart, and couldn't help asking.

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but say bitterly: "What this little brother said is right, ten percent of the grain must be handed over." ”

It was so dark, Ye Lin's complexion changed slightly.

When we are old, we don't want to run when war comes, and besides, we are all old and decrepit, and we can't run if we want to run.

If you can cope with it, you will live.

When everyone heard this, they sighed.

The war affected and affected not only the monks of the three continents and four islands, but even ordinary people were affected by the war.

Uncle, we don't know the way here, can you lead us into the city, Gu Tianling asked.

The old peasant sighed and said, "I just happened to be going home, so I will take you there." ”

He immediately gathered the wheat, loaded it into the ox cart, waved the bullwhip, and pulled the oxen forward.

The crowd followed him.

Uncle, you are a human race, why don't you go to the territory of the human race, why work hard for the demon race, the little prince wondered.

When the human race, the demon race, and the old peasant heard this, they couldn't help but snort coldly, and his wrinkled face showed a hint of sarcasm: "The human race and the demon race are not all the way. ”

The battle between the human race and the demon race, the human race is not a good thing.

Listening to the old man's reprimand, Gu Tianling's face turned pale.

This old man really turned his elbow out, and Bai Yunxiao on the side whispered.

What he said was not wrong, Ye Lin exhaled deeply and said slowly: "In the face of war, there is no racial distinction, because both sides of the war exist to destroy each other. ”

Soon, under the leadership of the old farmer, they were already outside the city.

This city is an extraterritorial sand city.

Sand City is not a sand city full of yellow sand.

It refers to the proximity of this city to the battlefield, and another name for the battlefield is called the battlefield, so there are poetry clouds, fifty strings of fan plug outside the sound, and autumn soldiers on the battlefield.

This battlefield refers to the battlefield, and this sand city is a border town near the battlefield.

At this time, outside the sand city, two Kraken warriors stood at the door.

The two warriors looked at the crowd of people who came and went, their eyes grim, their eyes full of coldness.

Ye Lin and the others also stopped and looked at this historic city.

Uncle, we are all human races, and now it is a period of war, how to enter this sand city, Ye Lin wondered.

Wearing these sets of clothes, saying that they were wheat harvesters, they would naturally be able to enter the city, and the old man looked at a few people, and immediately took out a few sets of shabby clothes from the big cloth bag on the back of the ox.

This is a good idea, and everyone nodded and put on their shirts.

Under the leadership of the old man, everyone entered the sand city one after another.

In the past, when there was no war, Shacheng was not rich, but it also had a lot of merchants who came and went.

But now, the border is tight, and the flow of people here has also been greatly affected.

The war made every border city look a little depressed.

Less goods, fewer merchants, when goods are not traded, it means real war is coming.

At present, the war is tight, the two sides are deadlocked, and the consumption of materials is also very great.

Therefore, the demon clan will allow us old guys to survive, at least in terms of growing food, our local farmers still have a natural advantage, and the old farmer slowly said to everyone.

When Ye Lin heard this, he sighed slightly in his heart.

What the old man said is indeed good, whether it is a kraken or a human race, value is a measure of the meaning of a person's existence, if this person has no value, then there is no need to exist.

The reason why the demon clan did not kill these ordinary people was not because the soldiers of the demon clan were benevolent and great, but because the grain and grass consumption in the army was extremely large, and in addition to transportation, local farmers were also needed to plant it, so it was enough for the army to consume, so they would be spared.

In the course of the war, the competition is not only the courage of the soldiers, but also the national strength of a country, which is a comprehensive indicator, including manpower, material resources, financial resources, transportation, etc.

However, there is no doubt that a war will always be a period of great attrition, and after a great attrition, both financial and material resources will enter a period of weakness.

In particular, this kind of tug-of-war has greater internal friction for the war, and the longer the war is fought, the further the recovery time after the war will be extended.

The old man handed over the wheat and took Ye Lin and the others to the center of the street in front.

After coming to the center of the street, the old man said lightly to everyone: "Since you have come to the center of the street, the old man will say goodbye to you." ”

Everyone nodded and said goodbye to the old man.

Gu Tianling glanced at the center of the street of this city, although this city was a little dilapidated, it was not completely in turmoil.

At the center of the city is a street that is divided in two by a river river.

At the center of the two streets is a trickling river, and the streets here are much smaller than those in other cities.

Even so, there are many tall buildings in Sand City, forming a unique landscape.

The streets of this city are quaint, and on both sides of the street, there are shops everywhere, and the doors of these shops are painted with various rune imprints, combined with various dazzling patterns, which make people overwhelmed and dazzled.

Along the way, Ye Lin and the others also attracted a lot of attention, because on the streets, most of the human races had already evacuated at the beginning of the war, and in this sand city, most of the human races were old or women.

But Ye Lin and a few others are living young people.

Along the way, both the people of the demon clan and the shopkeepers in the shops also cast strange glances and looked at this group of people.

A little weird, Ye Lin frowned, and said slowly.

It is indeed a little strange, how can these people look at us with such expressions, Yu Cangyu and the others also seem to have found a strange gaze.

This strange gaze seems to be like looking at a monster.

Could it be that we have flowers on our faces, Bai Yunxiao said in a low voice.

These people are not just looking at you, but us, Yu Cangyu reminded.

Such a guess, I am afraid that I can't guess what they think in their hearts after guessing for a long time, why not ask, Ye Lin proposed.

When everyone heard this, they nodded.

Their eyes looked ahead, and there happened to be a teahouse somewhere.

At this time, everyone slowly moved into the teahouse, which also attracted a strange gaze.

After a long time, a little erfang with big ears from the Kraken clan walked out, his eyes fell on everyone's body, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

How many masters...... He said with some hesitation.

What's the matter, Gu Tianling seemed to notice that Xiao Er had a strange look in his expression, and couldn't help asking.

Not...... It's nothing...... The shopkeeper said hesitantly.

A few masters, drink something, the little two pretended to be calm.

Just have a pot of tea, Yu Cangyu said slowly.

The little second immediately retreated and prepared tea.

There must be something strange in this, how can these people see us, how can they be like seeing ghosts, with such strange eyes in their expressions, the little prince muttered.

Later, he came over, and as soon as he asked, under the cloak, the ghost slave said lightly.
