"How's the battle going? How long will it take for us to take Lanting City? In order to encourage his subordinates and show his determination to win Lanting City this time, Sibo moved his barracks to the south gate of Lanting City. But after all, Sborough was only an archbishop of the Holy Cross Church, and he used the power of the Pope to defeat Ahuyu head-on, and successfully controlled the patriarchs of the various tribes who were still enjoying themselves in the royal court, but this was not a physical act, but a purely mental act.

It has been five days since the destruction of Lanting City, but there has been no substantial progress except for the fierce tug-of-war with the few defenders of Lanting, and the Lanting defenders still control the other three large city gates, and Lanting City is still firmly held in the hands of the Lanting defenders. The street fighting is fierce, and the once narrow alleys have now become a battlefield of tug-of-war. The defenders of the Orchid Court and the Templars were engaged in the most helpless and ridiculous game of tug-of-war here, and the dilapidated hut in the middle was constantly changing hands between the two forces. One side does not give up an inch of land, and the other side fights for every inch of land.

Sborough looked at the dirt pit beneath his feet, which had been a wall that had been completely hewn open. He stepped over, he entered Lanting City, he retreated back, and he went out of Lanting City. After five days, Lanting City, which was clearly close at hand, was still unattainable, which made Si Boluo feel very bad and very bad. Although he was one of the three bishops of the Holy Church of the Cross, he was not very knowledgeable. For example, what Si Boluo didn't know was that Lanting City, as the largest fortress in the northwest of the Lanhe Empire, its existence itself was half a myth. Since its completion, Lanting City has experienced wars and sieges dozens of times, and it has been rebuilt and strengthened dozens of times before it has the current scale. It is no longer a fortress city of soldiers at the beginning of its construction, and now Lanting City has naturally formed a certain economic structure of the border fortress, and it is already the largest city in the northwest faintly, it embodies the crystallization of the wisdom of several generations, and its complex structure is far from the simple settlement formed by the rough imitation of the city by the Hu people's royal court.

In other words, even the Oasis City may not be as complicated as Lanting City, there seem to be city walls everywhere inside and outside Lanting City, and there are urn cities, arrow towers, and gate gates everywhere, which are as difficult to detect as a maze, and the south gate that breaks through is difficult to go deeper, and the intricate lanes are like the minds of the Han people, and they can never find the nearest road.

In Sboro's eyes, taking the gates of the city so that the army could be transported into the city was victory. It's just that Lanting City is so special, it is like a prehistoric giant beast guarding the northwest of the empire, even if it cuts a deep wound on its body, it can't use it to lay the victory.

"Report to the archbishop! The resistance of the Lanhe people was still resolute, but they were few after all, and just now, we even broke through the defensive line, only to be quickly driven back. This time, it wasn't a herald who brought back information, but a Templar with his arm bandaged.

"Okay, use the fastest time to break through the defense line of the Lanhe people, even if it's just one place!" Siborough knew that there was not much time left for him, and there were already two night wolves breaking out, and if the speed was not faster, maybe they would be the ones who were making dumplings.

"One more thing, archbishop, we have found a woman in the crowd of people who have taken refuge in the city and resembles a saint." After reporting on the battle, the Templar went on to say that it was this information that they could not tell if it was important or not, and that he was going to report it to the archbishop. It's just that because it's not true, he was a little hesitant to report it.

"Got it, let's go rest first." Sboro was not surprised to suddenly discover the whereabouts of the saint. After the accident in Oasis City, the Holy Maiden and her party also cut off contact with the Holy Sect, but according to their travel route, it should also be in this area, so it seems that it is more likely to be in Lanting City, after all, Lanting City is the largest city in this area.

Is it suspected to appear in Lanting City, Si Boluo thought about it, and probably made a decision.

After Qin Zhirou recognized a sister, she realized that this world could be bigger. It turns out that her world is not big, nothing more than two cities, the imperial capital Lanting, and there are only a few people related to her, and her life will always be just a carefree rich lady. The appearance of Xu Lingling brought Qin Zhirou into a different world. Qin Zhirou began to work to resettle the refugees, take care of the crying children, distribute some food and do simple cooking. Only then did Qin Zhirou understand that the main tone of this world is not the joy of worry-free food and clothing.

In just a few days, Qin Zhirou learned a lot, and she also began to learn from Xu Lingling, and began to tie her hair up, so that she could move more conveniently. The two are also truly like sisters in the past few days, except that they are not in the same bed when they sleep, and they eat and live together.

No matter how the battle is fought, people always have to sleep, even if the Templars are energetic, they are not willing to fight street battles with the defenders of Lanting when the lights are blind, and Lanting City at night is the quietest Lanting City.

Qin Zhirou pinched her arm and fell straight on the bed, she was busy all day, although it was some very simple work, but it was also a big burden for her, but she received a lot of gratitude, which made her satisfied.

Xu Lingling then entered the house, she saw that Qin Zhirou was already lying on the bed, smiled, and went to the bed at the other end of the house - Qin Zhirou naturally couldn't live with those Templars, and there was still an empty bed in Xu Lingling's house in the whole courtyard, and after recognizing this "sister", Qin Zhirou also lived in it temporarily.

"Ahh Sister, you're back! Tell me what happened. Qin Zhirou saw Xu Lingling enter the house, and quickly sat up, most of the relationship between the two these days has been improved through night talks that can't sleep at night.

Qin Zhirou couldn't sleep last night, so Xu Lingling told her a story, and it happened to be about the Moon Tower. It's just that Xu Lingling has a lot more work to do than Qin Zhirou, she was so tired yesterday that she fell asleep first without saying a few words.

Xu Lingling took off her coat, half of her body went into the bed, and then began to continue to tell the unfinished story.

"Where did you go yesterday?" Xu Lingling turned to the side and asked.

"Ah, speaking of you being assassinated!"

"Hmm...... I was assassinated that day, on the seventh floor of the moon, it was supposed to be a mortal situation, but fortunately, someone came to the rescue at a critical moment, but the villain was very fierce, and when he saw that the assassination was not successful, he pushed me downstairs. Xu Lingling has not had much contact with storytelling, so she can only try her best to be interesting.

"And then?"

"Later, in order to save me, the man jumped out of the seventh floor and ...... in mid-air Hugged me. Xu Lingling still blushes a little when she thinks about this now, but fortunately, her veil has not been taken off.

"Wow!" Qin Zhirou cried out, although this story has been circulated in many ways, but hearing it with her own ears is another feeling.

"How's that guy? Is it good-looking? How old is that? Qin Zhirou threw out several questions, it is the girl in the flower season, and appearance is always the focus of their attention, this story is indeed very attractive, but if it is an old man who saves people in the real version, then the audience may have to change a large number of people.

"It's good-looking, at least better than my housekeeper." Xu Lingling thought for a while, and then added, the housekeeper was naturally referring to Xie Xiyan.

Qin Zhirou thought back to Xie Xiyan's appearance, in her impression, Xie Xiyan always followed behind them with a bitter face, very similar to the housekeeper in her own house, in short, it was this no, that no, that annoying thing, and then she nodded solemnly with the same feeling.

The identity of the "housekeeper" has seriously affected Xie Xiyan's appearance.

"That's enough!" After Qin Zhirou finished speaking, the two laughed in the room.

Being in the center of the whirlpool of war, such an environment did not prevent the two from laughing, although Qin Zhirou's arrival further slowed down Xu Lingling's time to fall asleep, but having Qin Zhirou by her side helped Xu Lingling relieve a lot of pressure.

The story came to an end for the time being, Qin Zhirou shrank into the quilt, Lan Ting was still cold, and because it was wartime, the supply of fire oil was interrupted. Suddenly, she remembered something, and sat up from the bed suddenly, and the quilt that had finally warmed up was lifted by her again.

"That, that...... Aren't you the fairy they call it? Qin Zhirou stammered and asked.

"Huh?" Xu Lingling was a little confused, she was indeed sleepy.

"It's the Moon Tower."

"Huh? Nope. Xu Lingling turned over, turned his back to Qin Zhi and said, "I... Not very pretty. ”

Qin Zhirou let out an "oh", thinking that she might have said something wrong, no wonder this sister wore a veil from morning till night...... Blame the storytellers!

"Ah, I'm sorry......" Qin Zhirou apologized, and then turned to comfort Xu Lingling: "But sister, you are so kind, it doesn't matter how you look, right." ”

"You're right." Xu Lingling answered, she was very sleepy.

"Hey, I believe that no matter what my sister looks like, she must be a fairy!" Qin Zhirou began to say witty things to make Xu Lingling happy.

"Sister Fairy!"

"Poor... Mouth..."Sleepiness swept towards Xu Lingling, and she fell asleep after answering.
