A June heat wave swept across the land, and a river that looked like a green dragon stretched beyond the horizon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jing Ling had felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this river for a long time, and it dawned on him when the little demon showed him the map.

This continuous river turned out to be the Yalu River!!

But in this world, the river is known as the Li River. And the reason why it was given this name is because it vividly separates the mainland from the Dongtu Peninsula.

Along the way, Jing Ling was constantly recalling the memories of this body, and gradually, the veil shrouded in this world was lifted by him one by one.

When Macedonia? From the moment Alexander's empire fell, the princes everywhere were divided. At the height of the war, there were even more than 20,000 rulers, but after years of secession and annexation, the world is now divided into two empires, five kingdoms, one khanate, and one united emirate......

The two empires were divided into:

Northern Soil - Albertan Empire

The territory spans the eastern lands of the boundless continent, as well as the Broken Lands and the giant island of the Nolan Empire

Five Kingdoms:

Nantu - the kingdom of Shanjung

Western Tu - the kingdoms of Creo and Falgar

Northern Soil - the Kingdom of Tannan and the Kingdom of the Black Land

Khanate:

Northern Tu - Khakkhanate of Khuk

United Arab Emirates:

United Emirate of Steellie

With the exception of the Albertan Empire and the Tannan Kingdom and the Blackland Kingdom, all other countries practiced slavery. In slave countries, the whites were the superior race, and the blacks and yellows were enslaved for life......

............

Jing Ling and the little devil went all the way along the Li River towards the ice city, and they encountered many new things on the way.

Circus convoys with elephant-drawn carts, seminarians and students with solemn faces as if they owe them a sum of money, and vendors carrying all kinds of crafts or grain.

When Jing Ling saw the ice city standing on the plain, he had to sigh in his heart for the wisdom of mankind.

The majestic castle sits on the plains, and its defense system is divided into three layers, the first is the moat, the second is the outer wall, and the third is the inner wall.

There was a cannon every twenty meters on the mottled outer wall, and the difference between the moat and the outer wall was ten meters, and the enemy would inevitably suffer heavy casualties if they tried to cross the moat and hit the outer wall, which is why the plants around the moat grew extremely luxuriantly, because the fertilizer in the soil came from the large number of corpses buried in it.

The moat is only the first line of defense of the ice city, which shows how impregnable this fortress is.

A deep moat surrounds the entire city, and there is a suspension bridge in the east, west, north and south as a hub for entering the city. Outside the city is a stretch of farmland and houses, and the Li River, which separates the mainland from the peninsula, is within easy reach. If you look from the low-lying part of the plain, you can see the outline of the castle that seems to rise above the sky, the gentle sunlight shines on this magnificent building, and the blue sky shuttles through many colorful birds.

Rows of city guards weaved back and forth on the fortified city walls, and the ten-meter-high gates were crowded with people waiting for security to enter the city, most of them yellow slaves with iron cuffs on their hands, but also some tall black slaves.

The little devil pointed to the ice city and said to Jing Ling, who was amazed: "Although the ice city was repaired after the founding of the Black Land, it was the Nolan people who made it what it is today. ”

"The Nolans turned Ice City into a fortress?" Jing Ling asked.

"That's right, Ice City and Rock Gravel City are both located on the east bank of the Li River, and these two Xiongguan fortresses were once a sharp blade inserted into the Nolan Peninsula by the Black Land. It's a pity that twenty years ago, the Nolans used Karl City as their base camp and launched an army of 120,000 to attack Ice City at night. In the face of the mighty Nolan army, the unprepared Ice City was breached after dawn. ”

After the little devil finished speaking, his eyes were full of sadness, as if he remembered some bad memories, I saw him sigh lightly, and continued: "The day after the fall of Ice City, the founding king of the Black Land led 30,000 Black Land King Divisions to recover the Ice City, and tens of thousands of citizens in the city also took up arms to resist the Nolan army. But in the end, the evil Nolan army suppressed the uprising in the city and pressed the citizens on the city wall, and the Black Land King Division, who was attacking the city, saw that his compatriots were escorted to the city, and stopped the attack, and the Nolan Army, which was originally superior in numbers, took advantage of the situation and defeated the Black Land King Division in one fell swoop. ”

The little devil suddenly clenched his fists, and the anger in his eyes was as strong as fireworks. "Luo Tianqi, the king of a generation of heroes, was killed by random arrows, and more than 300,000 of the tens of thousands of citizens who rebelled and their families were crucified to death in the forest two kilometers outside the city."

When the pain of the nails embedded deep in the palm of his hand reached the nerves in his brain, the little devil realized that his palm was bleeding. He loosened his clasped fingers, tried his best to suppress his anger, and continued: "Later, all the lords of the Black Land gathered their troops to resist the invasion of the Nolan army, and seeing that the battle situation had been stalemate, the Nolan people gave up the western expedition and transformed the ice city into a fortress, as the first front of the Nolan Peninsula against the Black Lands. ”

Jing Ling looked at Bingcheng and said, "Now Nolan's first front on the peninsula is probably Rock Gravel City." ”

"This question is worth pondering", the little devil wiped the blood on his palms with his clothes, and continued, "The twenty thousand Nolan troops stationed in Ice City last month suddenly attacked Rock Gravel City at night. But until now, they have not made any moves to defend the ice city, and the various city-states of the Nolan Peninsula are still sending troops to the Rock Gravel City, I am afraid that they will make some big moves in the near future. ”

"By the way, what are we going to do in Ice City?" Kyungling said the question she had always wanted to know the answer to.

"You'll find out when you get inside." The little devil was playing with the entrance, only to see him tie Jing Ling's hands with a rope, and pull the end of the rope to lead Jing Ling to the city gate.

The first and second walls were only twenty meters apart, so that the soldiers could travel smoothly back and forth between the two walls, so that no miscellaneous goods were allowed to pile up in the gorge, and it seemed that there was only a promenade of yellow sand.

Under the iron gate of the first city wall, a city guard squinted at the little devil and asked, "What are you doing in the city?" ”

"My lord, I'm going to go into the city and sell this slave for a good price." The little devil bowed down and smiled at the city guards.

The city guards shifted their gaze to Jing Ling behind the little devil, he looked at the slave with a resolute face, frowned, and said: "This guy seems to be a ruthless character, I think you can sell it to the farmer, or make an iron shop, like this kind of hard bones, let them do the dirtiest and most tiring work, so that they can settle down." ”

"Your Excellency is right, these guys should do the dirtiest and most tiring work, but then again, my lord, can we go in?" The little devil still smiled, and the Jing Ling behind him was also very acquainted with Mo Yan.

"Let's go inside." The city guards sideways out of the way, but his hand reached in front of the little demon.

Of course, the little devil knew what this meant, but he smiled and took out five copper coins from his arms and put them in the hands of the city guards, and then he led Jing Ling to the iron gate of the second city wall to register his identity.

The city guards behind him stuffed the copper coins into their pockets, and then reminded the little devil: "For the sake of this wine, I remind you that the city is now crowded with many slaves who have been transported from Rock Gravel City, and if you want to sell him for a good price, it is best to sell him to the sugar cane plantation, where there is the greatest shortage of labor." ”

"Thank you, sir, for the reminder." The little devil thanked him and began to register his identity, during which time he was blackmailed by the boarding officer, but he was always smiling and being slaughtered. After they had completed all the formalities and entered the city, Jing Ling found that the smile on the little devil's face was suddenly gone, replaced by an extremely cold and fierce color.

Jing Ling observed the little devil's every move all the way, and he judged in his heart that the little devil was a talent, a person who can regulate his emotions and wait for opportunities to move, often can achieve great things.

But the little devil didn't know that Jing Ling gave him such a high evaluation, so he leaned in front of Jing Ling and whispered: "I've wronged you first, and I'll release you when I go to the tavern." ”

"Tavern? What are we going to do there? Jing Ling wondered, this guy doesn't want to go and have a few drinks first, right?

"You'll understand when you go." The little devil replied to Jing Ling lightly, and continued to lead Jing Ling through the streets and alleys.

The streets were bustling with people, vendors of all kinds were shouting like melons selling melons, sometimes the sons of nobles were riding on tall horses, and some slave owners were whipping slaves in the streets. Jing Ling found that there were many slaves in this ice city, both men and women, young and old, many of whom were still wearing gorgeous robes and looked like rich and noble families, but they were crowded into improvised and simple sheds, and let the white people knead them like picking livestock.

Along the way, Jing Ling learned from the conversations of those ordinary people that since Rock Gravel City was captured by the Nolan Army at night, the number of slaves in the entire Ice City had surged several times, reaching 100,000 people, and the number was still surging at an average of thousands every day.

Ice City has a population of 400,000 people, and the number of slaves has reached a quarter of the total population!

Why didn't these slaves unite and rebel? Jing Ling wondered in his heart, but he was soon relieved. If the uprising is not successful, it is likely to face a tragic end. But if they are lucky enough to be sold to a wealthy and kind family, or to various workshops with benevolent bosses, then they will at least survive even if they lose their freedom.

Just as Jing Ling was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "Wait! ”

Jing Ling and the little demon both stopped to look back, only to see two women walking towards them.

They were dressed in clean and simple light brown robes, all about twenty years old, and one of them had shoulder-length black hair, and her simple yellow face was very pleasant to look at.

And Jing Ling had already defined this yellow woman as affordable in her heart, and the young woman next to her had a stunningly beautiful face, although she was wearing a simple light brown robe, but it couldn't hide her beauty at all.

She has fair and ruddy skin and pale golden pupils, and her long eyelashes and slender willow eyebrows give her a charming but refreshing temperament.

A wavy blond waist-length hair swayed slightly in the breeze, and in Jing Ling's heart, the woman in front of her simply threw off those so-called star goddesses and didn't know how many streets.
