Chapter 38: Preparing for War
With grass, shade, dappled sunlight and the laughter of children in the distance, Ganymedes feels like a return to the happiest days of his childhood.
He was the son of King Troy of Troy, who was favored by his father since he was a child, and had his own teacher and bodyguard.
He practiced gladiatorial fighting in the sun, hunting in the woods, and frolicking in the warm waters.
He was a human spirit, beautiful, intelligent, and well-behaved, and He was loved by all, even His teachers and bodyguards often looked at Him with fascination, hoping that He would grow up healthy and happy.
Floating in the foundation of the fairy world, Ganymedes, whose eyes were closed, suddenly frowned.
His memory came to the day when his life turned into a giant eagle, and he swooped down from the sky fiercely, grabbing him higher and higher, through the blue sky and white clouds, to the place of envy.
It is a place that many people yearn for all their lives, but it is a nightmare for their lives, a place they want to escape from all their lives.
Zeus, in order to show his favor for Him, dismissed his daughter, the goddess of youth, from pouring wine at the banquet of the gods, and entrusted the work to himself, who had just received his favor.
For this reason, Ganymedes no longer learned to bow and arrow, swim, and no longer had friends to play with him.
He had to learn to pass the goblet deftly and gracefully with three fingers, and he had to be able to grasp the smoothness of the goblet with a few fingertips.
He must also learn to move from room to room, filling the glasses of the guests or bringing them jugs of freshly brewed wine.
The priests were glad to be served by Him, because of His natural beauty, and because of His seemingly sincere but hypocritical smile.
He had to stand until the end of the eroded feast, and he walked naked in it, watching the other sommeliers let the seemingly suave mansion touch their bodies.
He was able to hide from all this because of Zeus's favor for Him, but that did not make Him happy in the slightest.
It was only when Zeus, who could not get Him, became disgusted with Him that He was out of this job, but since then His life has become more difficult.
Few gods have given him a good face, and he has never been recognized by anyone.
Ganymedes, who had no friends and no life, was stranded on the Mount of the Gods for many years, and finally found an excuse to go to the world to find wine for Zeus and left the Mount of the Gods.
Fleeing from the Mountain of the Gods, He did not dare to live on that land, so He came here, and eventually, died here.
A tear fell from Ganymedes' beautiful face, tears dripping from his beautiful eyelashes and towards Chaos Taiji.
Fifth Xuan stretched out his hand and held this tear slightly, this is the soul of Ganymedes, and it is also his farewell to his previous life.
At this time, his body, in the burning of the divine fire, slowly turned into a handful of pure flames, floating in the foundation of the fairy world.
"Fate. ”
On the side, the fifth mystery, who had almost watched Ganymedes' life, sighed, and threw all the soul and power of Ganymedes out of this world and into the fairy world.
Collecting his mind, the fifth Xuan looked down and saw the giant court rising and falling in the tide of chaos.
The Fifth Xuan swooped downward, his consciousness merged into the Chaos Taiji, and he felt the state of the Giant Court in the Chaos Tide.
The white spider silk shimmered brightly on the Giant's court, trying to resist the washing of the tides of chaos.
But the Chaos Tide turned a blind eye to this, and just kept surging upwards over and over again, washing away the white cobwebs.
After each impact, the lines of the white cobwebs dimmed, which showed that the impact was not meaningless, but it seemed that the process would take a long time.
The Fifth Xuan sank all his consciousness into it, constantly fine-tuning the chaotic tides to make its surge more powerful, so that it did not miss a mistake when it washed the white cobwebs.
Boom la la la...... Boom la la la......
The sound of the tide kept surging in the Fifth Xuan's ears, and his mind was all here, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the outside affairs for the time being.
In the fairy world, after a series of changes, it finally quieted down, and the souls of the clansmen returned to their posts and became busy.
The soul and power of Ganymedes were imprisoned by a generation of ancestral witches, waiting for the return of the Fifth Mystery to be dealt with.
Baxia ran quickly in the desert, jumping and gliding from time to time, and was not far from the edge of the desert.
............
In the military hall, the generalissimo of the alliance, Wu Mang of the alliance, the leader of the alliance Zhao, and a number of generals were there.
He sat on the throne with a wrinkled face and eyes half-squinted, and only occasionally snapped his fingers on the table to prove that he was not asleep.
Mang sat at the bottom of the head, according to his status, he should have sat on the throne, but based on his identity and the identity of the god, he could only deign to the head.
Sitting across from him, he wrote and drew in his hand, recording the narrator's words.
"The 10,000 troops of the Red Copper City have been assembled, and they are escorting 30,000 sets of armor weapons to Xi'an City urgently, and they are expected to arrive at the end of the year. ”
It was the generalissimo's chief of staff who spoke, and after talking about the armament of the Copper City, he was about to continue, but Mang interrupted him below.
"The armor and weapons transported from the Red Copper City to Xi'an City are divided into 20,000 to the fire capital, and the sergeants are all brought with weapons, so there is no need to gather so many soldiers and armor in Xi'an City. ”
The reckless words made the chief of staff stunned, and he looked at his marshal, waiting for the marshal's reaction.
Everyone also followed his gaze, clicked their fingers on the table, and their squinted eyes slowly opened.
"Tens of thousands of troops, 10,000 armaments, a little less. ”
He said in a deep voice.
"Don't forget the past, the division of the future, except for the capital, other cities cannot store excessive armaments. ”
said in a deep voice, not because it was his father who was opposed, he flinched in his words.
Everyone was silent, especially the generals of the three tribes of horses, knives, and shadows, and their faces were even redder.
"Then transport it to the fire capital, and then transport it to Xi'an City in batches, and if the war ends early, let them directly transport it back. ”
He gave his opinion.
Mang didn't refuse again this time, nodded and let the chief of staff continue, not wanting to suddenly open his mouth to object.
"The manpower consumption is too high, and now is the time to lay the horse track, which will delay the process of laying the horse track. ”
Horse rail laying is a way that has been handed down from the fairy world in recent years.
Using two iron bars as rails, a special carriage pulled by a war horse runs on the rails, which is much faster.
Since the Ice Age and the sleds are not usable, transportation between alliances has been a big problem.
The emergence of horse rails is undoubtedly a targeted solution to the transportation problem, so I don't want to delay the construction period.
The words of the photo made Mang's brows furrow.
He frowned, not dissatisfied, but slightly confused in his heart.
"There was a pause in the laying of the horse tracks. ”
Under the incomprehensible gaze, Mang slowly opened his mouth to explain.
"Flooding and muddy roads everywhere after the ice spell are a problem that needs to be addressed, and until this is solved, horse track laying will not be possible for the time being. ”
After thinking about it for a while, he nodded in agreement and said nothing more.
"The matter of internal affairs will not be discussed here for the time being, the military content continues, this time the attack on the human tribe is an order issued by the beginning, and the strategic goal has long been clear. ”
Reckless took the opportunity to get up, glanced at the generals, and once again emphasized the strategic intent.
These generals have been a little too excited since they heard that there was a war, which is also the alliance has not fought for many years, which has stifled them.
But recklessness must cool them down and let the war go in the direction it was supposed to be.
His gaze glanced at his old father, and when he was sure that he had no objection, he spoke again.
"We are helping the human tribe to eliminate those princes who are in their own ways, not to completely invade the human tribe, you must remember this, this is our strategic goal, don't get excited when the time comes, and directly slaughter the human tribe. ”
His last sentence caused laughter from some of the generals.
Now the strength of the alliance, it is really not difficult to slaughter the human tribe, and the reason why so many troops are dispatched this time is not all for fighting, and large-scale military training is also one of the purposes.
"It's okay to train troops, but control them well, the warriors of the Alliance, not savage, ignorant warriors, the army of the Alliance, and not the ignorant, bloodthirsty troops. ”
As Mang spoke, his gaze swept over the Iron Tribe General.
In the process of annexing a number of small tribes to the south, the Iron-Eating Tribe also joined the fray.
But the iron-eating beasts in their tribe who were excited to fight, that is, the beasts that Taichu privately called pandas, actually slaughtered a small tribe in excitement.
Because of this incident, Taichu criticized the Iron Eating Tribe by name, and the Iron Eating Tribe totem was punished in the fairy world because of this.
And the four generations of ancestral witches also criticized Mang in the immortal realm, believing that this was a mistake in his work.
In short, slaughter is expressly forbidden, and Mang must remind these murderous guys again and again.
After a round of criticism, Mang returned to his seat, while the chief of staff continued to recount the situation of the troop transfer.
The Red Copper City sent 10,000 troops and 30,000 sets of armaments.
After discussion, Mang finally decided that 10,000 of the 30,000 sets of armaments would go straight to Xi'an City, and 20,000 would be placed in a baggage storage area between the capital and Xi'an City.
Donghai City sent 5,000 troops, and countless grains and grasses were loaded.
Among them, the grain and grass are mainly salted fish, and it is necessary to fully ensure that all soldiers have enough salted fish to supplement the salt, which is also a great burden for Donghai City.
Longcheng sent 15,000 troops, of which 10,000 were soldiers and 5,000 were baggage troops.
Now that the main body of the horse tribe is in Dragon City, it can be said that the baggage team is borne by one of them, and the pressure is also very great.
The capital sent 20,000 troops, 10,000 soldiers, 10,000 heavy soldiers, and countless grains and grass.
Almost half of the army's grain and grass had to go from the capital, so the pressure on transportation was also great.
Mang suggested taking the waterway, and the ship had been developed since the end of the ice age, and now it is operational.
The number of ships is sufficient, but the problem is the scarcity of sailors, which is a problem to be solved in the near future.
Xi'an City sent 15,000 troops, 5,000 soldiers, and 10,000 baggage soldiers, and they wanted to come up with more troops, but they were refused.
In the end, there were 40,000 soldiers and 25,000 baggage soldiers, and these baggage soldiers also had the ability to fight and could be replenished at any time.
This is the entire strength of the Alliance's westward expedition, compared to the previous wars, the number of sergeants is much less, but the quality is far greater than before.
In this battle, the top leaders of the alliance are full of confidence, and now, just waiting for the return of Taichu, the war is about to start.
