After receiving the news of the danger of the royal city, the Persian prince traveled north day and night, led his army, and finally waited until the rain stopped. This continuous rainstorm not only affected the Han army, but also hindered the footsteps of the last military force of the empire.

Although they are on their own land, this journey of thousands of miles from south to north has also exhausted them. Even without this rain, most people were discouraged halfway through the rain, and they didn't have the same sharpness as when they first gathered.

This is also not to blame them. Although it is said that there are 80,000 people, their combat effectiveness and tenacity are not comparable to the warrior legions under the command of the Persian kings in the past. If they want to fight in one go, they still have the strength to fight. But as now, a long march without running away is considered good.

The Persian prince was also tired, and he had more to offer. Looking at the low morale around him, he didn't know if he would be able to achieve victory by taking these people to fight the Han army.

Heavy rain hindered the trip, and news of the royal city was temporarily cut off. Watching the river around him, which had swelled because of the rain, surging south into the sea, the Persian prince felt remorseful in his heart. Originally, I thought that if I stood up and raised my arms, I would be able to lead the gathered loyal and brave men to destroy the invading Han army in one go, and then I could ascend to the throne in a smooth manner. But who could have thought that the more than 20,000 Han Dynasty troops who came from the sea were just a small number of them who came in advance.

If there are really as many as 130,000 Han troops who have attacked on a large scale and have already surrounded the royal city, then it is absolutely not to be underestimated. Especially when he heard that it was Yuan Zhao who came to command him personally, the Persian prince couldn't help but think of what this person looked like when he was in Chang'an, and he immediately felt that his whole body was a little cold from the inside out.

Some of his cronies seemed to notice the prince's strangeness, and hurriedly gave him a thick blanket and wrapped it tightly. But they didn't know that although the rain was a little cold, it couldn't be cold enough for the fear that rose in the prince's heart.

The hatred of a broken arm, the hatred of destroying the country! If the prince had been secretly glad in his grief when he heard the news that the king of Persia had never returned, now there was only a sense of fear of the unknown fate ahead. Compared to the throne, how to defeat that powerful enemy and survive seems to be more important.

But now, he has no faith at all. The Prince of Persia was not a cowardly man, but the enemy who could make him cowardly was waiting in front of him, waiting for the fateful showdown. Looking at the dark night in the lightning and thunder, he even suddenly had a strange thought.

This rain, let it go on like this! It doesn't matter until the rivers and seas flood, until the sky is wasted and the earth is old. It is better to be able to let the Han army lose itself because of this...... Because, in front of the terrible enemy from the Han Dynasty, he really didn't have the courage to be the martyr who used his mantis arm as a car!

However, the heavens did not seem to sympathize with the prince's ambivalence at all. When he woke up from a good night's sleep, his subordinates came to report that the rainstorm had stopped. They are asking for instructions on whether to immediately straighten out the people and continue to go north.

"Is there any news from Wangcheng?"

"There is no news yet...... Prince, let's hurry up, for the time has been delayed for too long. ”

"Okay then...... The order went down, and let several generals supervise the men and horses, and continue to march towards the royal city. ”

In any case, the royal city still had to go back, and it was the foundation of the Persian Empire. It is also the capital of revitalizing the dynasty after he inherits the throne, which must not be abandoned. Perhaps the only luxury now is that after this rainstorm, a miracle will happen.

The samurai, who had been on the halfway for several days, were remobilized. They straightened their ranks, followed the direction of the river, and set off again. It is not a few days away from the city of Wangcheng. At the instigation of the generals, the prince made a promise that if he could defeat the Han army besieging the royal city and relieve the siege of the royal city, then everyone in the army, regardless of their original status, would be rewarded according to the size of the merit. The generals were given the same amount of gold land, the slaves were freed, and henceforth became loyal protectors of the new king.

There will be brave men under the great reward. This is a truth that is true to all ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. The 80,000 people immediately regained their spirits, and there was no need to say anything about those big truths, even if it was for this huge personal benefit, they had to fight to the death.

The majestic Persians, wading through rivers and sand dunes, against the cold wind that began to rise, and the swords in their hands marched forward bravely, wanting to feast on the blood of the enemy!

Feeling this power, the Persian prince took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart. He's going to lead them into battle! Go and wipe out the Han army completely! Go and cut off the head of the mighty enemy who had brought him shame and pain ......!

However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny. Less than two days later, the procession, which was less than two or three hundred miles away from the royal city, encountered the Persian nobles who had fled from the royal city.

On the muddy grass by the river, the embarrassed fugitives disembarked from the boat, as if they had finally found their last hope, and fell to the ground crying and telling of the misery of the royal city.

The Persian prince and the generals looked at each other as they listened, and some very ridiculous feelings rose in their hearts. If it weren't for the clear sky in broad daylight, they would almost have thought they were listening to those fantastical tales that have been circulating on the Western Continent.

"It can't be...... It's absolutely impossible! How could the people of the Han Dynasty have such ability......?"

There were people around shaking their heads in horror, looking at the embarrassed nobles, hoping that what they said was not true, but only exaggerated. However, this is an extremely cruel but extremely real reality.

"You can't go wrong! The whole royal city was flooded, and we survived in the arch at the head of the city...... Everyone in the city is dead! The royal city and the royal palace no longer existed...... Woooooo ”

Thinking of the thrilling and hardships of this escape, the Persian nobles wept loudly, and it was simply painful.

"What the Han people can do...... They're vicious! ”

The Persian prince turned pale and muttered to himself. In fact, he believed this fact at the first time. He had personally learned the methods of Yuan Zhao, and he would not feel too shocked that this person could do anything impossible.

The uproar of anger and fear finally fell silent. The reunited Persian nobles and their princes were forced to seriously consider the worst they were about to face, in a dead silence.

people, sometimes it can be weird. Once you are really cornered, you will become brave and fearless. It's like the current Persian prince. Not long ago, there was hesitation and cringe in his heart, but now, his eyes were full of blood red, and his face was terrifying. Because he suddenly realized that he had no way out.

"You ...... Tell the Han army the secret of the palace treasure?"

The prince's icy voice was heard. The Persian nobles, led by them, felt a little embarrassed and ashamed. However, he did not deny it, but nodded, reaffirming what he had just said.

"Ask His Royal Highness the Prince for forgiveness, there was really no other way to ...... at that time."

"You guys did a great job!"

Somewhat unexpectedly, the Persian prince seemed to think of something, and his tone changed, but he did not look angry. The nobles looked up in surprise, not understanding why His Royal Highness said they had done a good job. This is not normal!

The Persian prince looked around, and beside him, in addition to the fugitive nobles, were a few loyal generals. The samurai and slaves, who had stopped to rest by the river, had no idea what was happening. Perhaps, there is one last chance to fight to the death with the Han army!

"Your Royal Highness...... I don't know...... What does that mean? ”

"It's simple. Now that the Han army knows the secret of the treasure, they will definitely want it and be willing! This creates the best opportunity for us. Haven't you heard the story of fish and bait? Hum! In order to obtain the treasure of the palace, the actions of the Han army in the recent period will inevitably revolve around this...... As long as they have this greedy heart, it will be of great benefit to us...... ”

As he spoke, the Persian prince's eyes began to glow. Some plans gradually took shape in his mind. Some of the heroic qualities inherited from the king of Persia finally began to manifest in him.

The river rolled away, turbulent and muddy. The wind came from the north, carrying with it the iron-blooded breath of the enemy. The last military force of the Persian Empire swore an oath of revenge by the river. Then, after some planning, they split up.

Against the direction of the wind, the water level of the river began to drop, the flood that flooded the land was gradually receding, the wilderness and the continent were slowly returning to their original appearance, and life returned to the vicissitudes of heaven and earth.

Unlike other places, although the submerged Persian royal city has already shown most of its outline, it will obviously take more than ten days to be able to enter.

Several large Han army camps stationed on the surrounding heights temporarily suspended all kinds of military operations. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, after the baptism of floods, there should be no threat. And the Persian army, which had combat effectiveness, had been locked up by the Han scouts. It will take time for the battle to happen. In this case, there is no need to be busy to conquer this entire continent.

And the recent information gathered shows that the Persian nobles were not lying. In this royal city in front of you, there is indeed a huge treasure. After the confirmation of this, many people felt a little excited.

How to find a way to find the specific location of the treasure has become a major matter that everyone has racked their brains for the past few days. But they didn't expect that a deadly crisis was quietly coming.
