Chapter X
The registered soldiers were eager to beat Lu Wenhou back.
However, a notice was given this morning, except for those who are disabled or seriously ill, all other healthy people must be admitted as long as they come.
"Studied martial arts?"
"Learned."
The recruiter was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lu Wenhou again.
Although he didn't speak, the thick suspicion in his eyes revealed a message.
Just you? Practiced?
Who believes?
Although he saw the suspicion in the soldier's eyes, Lu Wenhou had no intention of explaining.
What if you don't believe it? Those who say that they do not believe will not believe.
"Alright, it's over, let's go over there!"
In the end, the registered soldier didn't say anything, and it was hard to persuade the ghost to find a dead ghost in these years.
Yumen Pass is preparing for war, and the same is true for Loulan.
In the middle of nowhere.
A majestic kingdom stands tall in the sand.
This country has a fantastic name: Loulan.
Although Loulan is surrounded by desert, the whole country is beautiful.
It can be said that Loulan is a pure land in the desert, with green mountains, rushing rivers, and prosperous cities.
It's a pity that this was a thing of the past.
A year ago, Princess Loulan received God-given divine powers.
She called this divine power puppetry.
There is no divine power outside of Tianhan, this is an unspoken rule recognized all over the world a year ago.
Therefore, when the princess of Loulan gained divine power, the whole country was boiling.
Everyone thought it was Loulan's chance.
A chance to become a kingdom as powerful as Tianhan.
On that day, the king of Loulan abolished the original prince and declared the princess the heir of Loulan.
This matter has received support from all over the country.
This Loulan princess also did not live up to the support of the entire Loulan.
Use divine power to create all kinds of puppets, arm the army, improve the environment, and help civilians work.
The waterwheel puppet she created was able to divide the only large river up and down Loulan into several small tributaries, making it easy to spread across the country.
At once, the problem of difficulty in transporting water in some parts of the country in Loulan was solved.
The large puppets she made were not only flexible but also amazingly powerful, and they were used to build roads to carry heavy objects and build houses, which greatly solved the problems of lack of manpower in Loulan.
The light battle puppet she created can disintegrate and attach to the soldiers, and when necessary, it can also be re-transformed into a puppet, which can be controlled by the soldiers to attack, greatly improving the combat ability of the Loulan army.
Loulan ushered in rapid development.
Some Loulan nobles even felt that within ten years, Loulan's national strength would surpass that of Tianhan.
It's a pity that before ten years, there was a problem in Loulan in half a year.
Tianhan has a saying, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
Just when Loulan ushered in a vigorous development.
The river that the Loulan people relied on for their survival, casting a desert oasis, and a country of desert miracles, suddenly became thinner.
It even began to dry up.
At first, the people of Loulan didn't pay attention, but as some of the tributaries gradually disappeared, everyone noticed this phenomenon, and then began to ~ panic!
On this day, the river called the Mother River has been flowing throughout the territory since the founding of Loulan.
No one knows where he came from or where he went, only that it nurtured the whole of Loulan.
In the eyes of all Loulan people, the water of the mother river should be inexhaustible, just like everyone thinks that Loulan is a miracle, and this miracle will create a new miracle.
It's a pity that the miracle ended up losing to reality.
Loulan's mother river is drying up.
What is the most important thing to survive in the desert?
Luoyang's three-year-old child knows that water!
So what happens when you run out of water?
Luoyang children may answer that they want to die of thirst.
Loulan will tell you that flowers and plants will die of thirst first, then trees, and then the entire World Cup desert will be assimilated to the same color, and then people will be panicked.
Loulan was completely panicked.
The mother river is drying up too quickly.
At this rate, it won't take more than a month to cut off the flow.
The nobles approached the king, who believed that the mother river had dried up because of recent overuse of mining.
Their words are well-founded.
The Loulan Mu River has been flowing endlessly. Why did it dry up all of a sudden? There must be a human factor in this, which is associated with the diversion of tens of millions of waterwheel puppets
It's easy to think of one word that comes to mind in this era: overexploitation.
Although the waterwheel puppet has brought convenience to thousands of households since its implementation, it has also solved the problem of water shortage that plagues Loulan.
But now, because it is about to dry up the mother river, it can only be withdrawn painfully.
So the king himself ordered the removal of the waterwheel puppets that had been in place for half a year.
The mother river suddenly returned to its original width, looking at the endless and rushing mother river, the whole Loulan fell into a carnival.
But the revelry lasted only a week.
The grass continues to turn yellow!
The tree continues to get bald!
The mother river is getting thinner day by day!
All of this shows that reality is not developing in the direction that Loulan envisioned.
The catastrophe continues.
Loulan, who didn't see the yellow sand, didn't know when it began to blow dust!
The emerald green mountains and rivers began to turn yellow at some point.
The happy people don't know when they put on sad smiles.
The land of miracles began to be invaded by reality at some point.
The wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger.
The monster named the desert is devouring the poor lamb of Loulan!
Princess Loulan has been gaining divine power for eight months, and the daily life of the people has become a problem.
Yellow sand raged throughout the country all day long.
Princess Loulan made countless large puppets to help the people build strong houses with me.
But it is impossible to live in a house all day.
In order to protect this country of miracles, Princess Loulan used a puppet to cast a wall that surrounded Loulan.
The fence shielded Loulan from the wind and sand.
The people were finally able to get out of their homes.
But what can they do?
All the plants are dry.
People don't have water, so where can they get water to feed animals?
The wall cut off the desert from the wind and sand, and Loulanche did not regain its vitality.
The enduring work of countless puppets has not brought prosperity as imagined by the people of Loulan, but endless coldness.
Icy walls surround the icy kingdom.
Even the people who live inside are puppets with cold hearts.
Water, less and less.
Food, less and less.
The common people are getting fewer and fewer.
Only resentment and madness began to grow.
Loulan worked for ten months to gain divine power.
The puppet technique has changed Loulan a lot, but Loulan is also on the verge of despair.
Rumors have spread.
The divine power only belongs to Tianhan, Princess Loulan stole the divine power, the crime is unforgivable, and the heavens punish her to destroy Loulan.
Rumors intensified.
Everyone began to denounce the princess, and even demanded the destruction of all the puppets and the destruction of the cold walls.
When one's body is idle, the mind is busy.
It began to desperately find something to do for its idle body.
For example, parade in the street, such as riots, such as ~ death!
The frenzied people of Loulan rushed out of their homes and smashed the puppets that helped them work.
Then surround the royal palace.
In the name of burning the enchantress to death, they have a crazy expression and want to destroy the country.
That day, Princess Loulan looked at the people surrounding the palace and said something good with a smile.
"Bad puppets need to be repaired, and if they are not repaired, they must be rebuilt."
Humans are strange creatures.
When a man is desperately trying to protect them, they call her a witch.
When a demon girl killed the people in a river of blood, they called her princess because she was willing to go to the rescue of the Han Dynasty!
Whether it's a princess or a witch!
Loulan couldn't hold on.
Divine power can change a lot, but it is not omnipotent.
Almighty is the sky.
Tianhan is not omnipotent, but almost.
This is the thinking of the people of Loulan.
The Loulan nobles only knew that they were going to bleed profusely.
No one but the princess felt that it was a journey that was doomed from the start.
Tianhan rejected Loulan's plea for help.
No matter what price Loulan pays, Tianhan will not give him room for negotiation.
Even if Princess Loulan offered to sacrifice her puppetry.
All that was left was laughter in the hall.
She still clearly remembered which Emperor of the Heavenly Han Dynasty seemed to have little time to do, and His Majesty laughed and coughed.
In the words of General Han that day:
"My Tianhan has countless divine powers, so send you this?"
It's not bad.
Tianhan is different from Loulan.
Sitting on the land of abundance.
with the largest population,
Even the divine power was there thousands of years ago.
She knew that Tianhan was superior, and she also knew that this time it was destined to be fruitless.
But why!
Why does Tianhan sit on the most fertile land in the world?
Tianhan has had divine power since ancient times?
Why is Tianhan superior?
And Loulan can only survive in the desert.
Marvel.
The country of miracles of fart, all she can see is a dying country that could be destroyed at any time.
Since you can't talk about it, let's talk about it with actions.
If the action can't be discussed, then she will grab it!
It is nothing more than the demise of Loulan.
If you don't rob or die? Why not grab it? If you snatch it, you can still live.
So Princess Loulan did something that shocked the whole country,
Loulan's five thousand iron cavalry attacked Bafang Town and planted their Loulan banner on the land of Tianhan.
Princess Loulan gained divine power for a year.
The grass and trees in Loulan are all dry, the animals are all gone, and the birds are all gone.
I heard that there are people in other countries who have also gained divine powers.
On the night she heard the news, Princess Loulan looked up to the sky and smiled.
"This world is not your Tianhan after all, this day has been established for so many years, and it will change after all, but why do you have to kill my Loulan, why don't you give me Loulan a little time."
Maybe he was smiling too happily, and tears slipped from the corners of his eyes unconsciously.
The next day it was as if nothing had happened.
Princess Loulan continues to prepare for the next war.
"Report, Your Majesty Princess."
The spy knelt in front of Princess Loulan.
"Speak!"
"According to the investigation, only a piece of yellow sand remained at the original site of Tianhan Bafang Town, and both the town and the people disappeared."
The spy knelt down and told the truth.
"Got it."
Princess Loulan looked at the puppet in front of her and replied without raising her head.
"And the Gerhan vanguard and the five thousand iron horsemen are also gone."
The spies opened their mouths.
"It's not gone, bring the puppet to dig the sand, it's all down there."
Hearing this, the Loulan spy was stunned.
"No!"
Then he got up and left.
"Remember, the puppet belt will do."
As she was about to walk out the door, Princess Loulan spoke again.
The footsteps of the leaving figure froze for a moment before replying:
"Whoa!"
The wind in the desert was cool, but no one knew why.
