326 The Empress's Lover
"Huh."
Seeing the oppressive army retreat into his city, Lin Chi couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, from the second round, the "chariot" was played and the crispy chicken leg fort of the army began to expand, and the combat power of the army was simply crushing!
Lin Chi knew that if it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the Black Death in the rear, he would be able to break through his city gate almost instantly with the siege equipment equipped by the army of Crispy Chicken Leg Fort. At that point, they will only be greeted by a bloody massacre.
But now, with those guys retreating because they couldn't maintain their supply lines, they finally had another chance to breathe.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Chi also played two cards again and continued to develop his city.
Seeing the two golden tarot cards that Lin Chi threw on the table, the blond man, who was still paying attention to the plague prevention and control situation in his city, suddenly widened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Do you want to ......?"
"Who knows." Lin Chi turned his head as he spoke, and set his eyes on his own city, waiting for the changes in it.
Under the gaze of the Creator, a woman dressed in silk veil arrived from the distant desert.
Escorted by dozens of knights in pitch-black heavy armor, the empress arrived at the gate of Lin Chi's city, and then, still without suspense, was stopped by the guards and soldiers.
"Identify yourself." The soldier standing guard in front of the door asked.
Maybe it's because of the improvement of the cultural level, or maybe it's because the empress in front of her has her own aura of leadership, and the tone of the soldiers is much softer than before, and they even use honorifics.
"Please let me in." The Empress's voice was gentle, but with a hint of firmness: "I want to see the ruler of this city. ”
"But ......"
The soldiers in front of the gate were still hesitating, and the herald, who came from the direction of the palace, handed them the letter in their hands.
After reading the order sent above, the soldiers hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly opened the city gate, still with a confused expression on their faces.
There was only a short sentence on that piece of paper, but looking at the font, it was written by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and unlike the usual orders, what was written on the paper was also very simple and crude:
"Open the door."
Under the bewildered gaze of the soldiers and civilians of the city, Her Majesty walked slowly into the city, and walked along the main road in the center of the city to the splendid white palace located in the inner part of the city.
Immediately afterwards, a picture that shocked the citizens even more appeared:
The old emperor, who always manages politics in the palace on weekdays and rarely appears in the public eye, actually walked out of the main courtyard of the palace slowly and walked down the extra-long steps in front of him, accompanied by his personal guards.
- What is the situation?
Just when the citizens who witnessed this scene were all confused, the empress, who was protected by the black-armored knight, ran forward, her long silver hair swaying in the wind, and her eyes seemed to shine with excitement.
At the same time, the emperor also quickened his pace, and his eyes, which were originally a little cloudy because of his age, lit up with a strange look again, and a smile from the heart also appeared on his wrinkled face:
"You're here......" said the old emperor tremblingly.
"yes, I'm here." The empress stepped forward, but before she could stand in front of the old emperor, she was stopped by the emperor's personal guards and her own black-armored knights.
"Get out of the way."
The old emperor's voice was as steady as a bell, waving his hand to signal his guards to get out of the way, and at the same time, the noble empress also stood in front of the black-armored knight and looked at the old emperor.
Then, under the attention of the surprised crowd, the two kings with a large age gap suddenly opened their arms and hugged each other, and distributed dog food to thousands of onlookers on the street in front of the public.
"......" crispy chicken leg burger scolded, and looked down at the two cards that had just been played by Lin Chi on the table.
In addition to the "Empress" in the Great Arcana card, Lin Chi also played another card, and that card was the reason why his city could accommodate both the "Emperor" and the "Empress":
NO.6 - Lovers.
Orthodox.
Couples in love don't need any reason. Causes two people in your city-state to fall in love, and this effect can be assigned to anyone. And, over the next three rounds, your city's birth rate increases.
As the emperor and the empress fell in love, Lin Chi's city-state also enjoyed the 300% development speed brought by the "empress", and with the "chariot" and "priestess" that were still in effect, the technology, culture and economic level of the entire city-state have advanced by leaps and bounds again, and it is about to catch up with the city of Crispy Chicken Leg Fort.
At this time, the city of Crispy Chicken Leg Fort was still plagued by the plague.
Although the generosity of the city's patients to their deaths did alleviate the epidemic, new patients continued to appear. Doctors and scholars found that the plague spread from animals, but could not tell which animal brought the plague exactly.
In this day and age, there was no way to deal with the plague, and although the "Hanged Up" he played in the last round put the city into an indestructible state, it was only a matter of survival.
Crispy Chicken Leg Castle knew very well that if things were allowed to continue unfolding, their city would soon be destroyed. Thinking of this, he thought for a moment, and could only play a defensive card again:
On the golden card, an angel wearing a white robe with wings on his back is depicted, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a man or a woman just by looking at the appearance, at this time, this angel is holding two holy grails, and there is liquid flowing between the two golden cups.
NO.14 - Temperance.
Orthodox.
Temperance symbolizes purification, and using this card increases the vitality of your city-state's inhabitants and increases the rate of cure from disease, but decreases the birth rate of the population.
- Due to the urgency of the situation just now, in order to avoid the direct destruction of the city, or the elimination of all the troops on the expedition, he can only choose to use a sword to withdraw the army, and by the way, he can play the inverted hanger with its own "life-sustaining" effect.
Now that he has the opportunity, the crispy chicken thigh burger has finally played the card of "moderation". Begin to heal the plague in the city. At the same time, he didn't forget to play an offensive card again, disrupting Lin Chi's pace:
NO.15 - The Devil.
Orthodox.
The devil has descended on the enemy city-state, and some of the short-sighted inhabitants have been blinded by lust. In the three rounds from now on, the opponent's city will develop fifty percent faster, but all the contradictions within the city will intensify and reduce morale and culture.
Seeing that the terrifying black-robed man appeared from the desert again and rushed to his city, Lin Chi not only did not panic, but asked calmly, "Do you really plan to do this?" ”
The blonde man sitting across the table didn't speak, but a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.
Seeing the other party's nervous appearance, Lin Chi looked at the rest of his hand and smiled confidently:
"It's over."
