Chapter 66: The Heart Is Too Soft
"Yes! People are inherently dead, and although I am immortal in this game world, after returning to my own world, I will also die, and then we may be able to meet again in the underworld! Shi Jinshui said as he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because he felt that his own troops were weak, so in the next few days, Shi Jinshui did not rush to march to Seleucus, but continued to be stationed at the border of Pontus, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and after waiting for five days, Salo rushed here with an army of 50,000 to meet Shi Jinshui. And Apudullah, the king of Pontus, also carefully selected 20,000 elites from the country and joined Shi Jinshui's army, so that the strength of Shi Jinshui's troops reached as many as 120,000, although it was definitely not as good as Seleucus's side, but the gap was finally not as huge as before.
Then, Shi Jinshui began to march towards the Seleucid border with the 120,000-strong army. At the same time, a message was sent to Admiral Habak, who, according to the original plan, began to act.
Shi Jinshui drove towards the border with so many people, and the Seleucians were naturally not blind, so they immediately found out, so the army that was almost gathered here also immediately pulled out and greeted Shi Jinshui's army. Although the capital was rebelled by Liaohua, Seleucus gathered so many factions to send troops together this time, and finally gathered more than 600,000 troops, which was much larger than the 120,000 on Shi Jinshui's side.
Under normal circumstances, Shi Jinshui's advance this time should be as fast as possible, and he should break through quickly while the other party has not yet established a solid defense line at the border. But in fact, after Shi Jinshui set off, the marching speed was not too fast, and he only advanced about thirty miles a day. Shi Jinshui's behavior made King of Pontus Apudullah confused, but after looking at Salo, the king of Thrace, he found that the other party was not in a hurry at all, and he understood a little in his heart, maybe Shi Jinshui had some plans a long time ago, so he was not in a hurry to rush over and tear up those enemies.
In this way, Shi Jinshui led his army, and because of the general spring tourism, he wandered slowly on the road for more than a week before he arrived at the Seleucid border. At this time, the 600,000 allied troops of the Seleucid, Egyptian, Armenian, Parthian and other factions had already established a solid defense line there, waiting for Shi Jinshui to send it to the door himself.
For Shi Jinshui to make them wait for so long, a group of exile faction leaders led by Garras were obviously very angry, and on the day that Shi Jinshui's army had just set up camp on the opposite side, they gave Shi Jinshui a big gift to disgust the other party.
"Lord Garras said, if King Shi Jinshui continues to be so reckless, I am afraid that he will end up like this guy in the end. If you don't want to end up like this, it's best to return the land you stole now and return to your Crescent Island! The Seleucid messenger pointed to the stick he had personally sent and said coldly to Shi Jinshui.
That human stick is Xiang Tian, the former god of war who killed the country, but at this time, he has already been tortured to the point that he has no human form, not only his teeth have been crushed, his limbs have also been cut off, and his body is covered with all kinds of wounds.
"Return to Crescent Island! Hehe! It seems that those guys mean that I will also hand over the territory of killing the country, which is really not a small appetite! Shi Jinshui looked at the messenger and said with a sneer.
"That's right! Lord Garras, they are actually merciful enough to do this, if you obediently hand over all those territories, you can still save a small life, and continue to be the king of New Carthage. You'd better be sensible and cooperative, or they'll come with an army of 600,000 and wipe you out in a snap of a finger! ”
"Good! Good! Then go back and bring me a message, and say that if they surrender Marcus, the traitor to the Seleucid royal family, at once, and surrender now, I can spare one of their dogs' lives. ”
"You! It's really hard to die! I'd like to see how many days you can hold out against the attack of my army! ”
The two sides did not speculate, and soon broke up unhappily. And after the messenger left, Shi Jinshui came to Xiang Tian, who was cut into a stick, and looked at the other party quietly for a long time. Compared with the previous high-spirited and war-spirited God of War who was ready to fight at any time, Xiang Tian in front of him was like a different person, his hair was scattered, his face was covered with various stains, and the whole person exuded a strange smell, and most importantly, his eyes were dull and sluggish, even if Shi Jinshui came over, there was no fluctuation at all.
Shi Jinshui knew that this was because the other party had been tortured to the point of a nervous breakdown and had no desire to survive at all, and the other party's ability to live until now was probably the reason why those guys in Gallas forcibly fed him food every day.
Seeing this guy who was the same player as himself being tortured into this way by those faction leaders, Shi Jinshui's heart couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness. Then in the disbelief of the people around him, he suddenly pulled out the long knife at his waist and slashed through Xiang Tian's throat.
The pain of the throat being cut finally made Xiang Tian's stagnant eyes fluctuate a little, he raised his eyes to look at Shi Jinshui and the bloody long knife in his hand, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and then he closed his eyes quietly and swallowed silently.
"My lord! Are you... Seeing Xiang Tian's corpse turn into a huge white pillar of light and rush into the sky, Ao Ba immediately stepped forward and looked at Shi Jinshui with a shocked face and asked.
"Nothing! It's just that the heart is too soft, and I can't see the same kind of suffering! Shi Jinshui replied lightly.
The heart is too soft! After hearing this answer, everyone around couldn't help but roll their eyes, as the king of New Carthage, Shi Jinshui had killed at least thousands of enemies with his own hands, this seemed like something that a soft-hearted person could do! Of course, they will never understand that Shi Jinshui is indeed a guy who can't see his kind suffer, but this kind of person refers to players like him, not those indigenous humans in this game world.
In the next few days, Shi Jinshui and Gallas started fighting without suspense, but the whole battle has been tepid, and after more than a week, the casualties on both sides combined were only more than 2,000 people.
After this situation lasted for a while, Garas and they couldn't help but feel a bad feeling, after all, they knew Shi Jinshui too well, once this guy started a war, he would either win the battle with lightning speed, or use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to kill his opponent unconsciously, and now Shi Jinshui is fighting so unhurriedly, he must be planning some conspiracy.
After some discussion, Garras and the others felt that Shi Jinshui wanted to use the procrastination trick this time, and then launch a counterattack when their side was short of food and grass. After all, there are 600,000 troops on their side, and the amount of grain and grass they need to consume every day is huge.
The leader of the gang, who thought he had guessed Shi Jinshui's plan, began to lead his army to launch a strong attack on Shi Jinshui in the next few days, hoping to defeat Shi Jinshui in the shortest possible time. As soon as these guys worked hard, Shi Jinshui had to cheer up some spirits and deal with it seriously, and the war between the two parties finally became more and more intense, and it looked like a real war.
What these guys didn't know was that while they and Shi Jinshui were fighting at the border, Habak was leading the naval fleet of New Carthage and quietly approaching Antioch, the capital of Seleucus, by sea.
"That's the port of Seleucia! Looks like we've finally arrived at our destination! Through the monocular in his hand, looking at the port in the distance where the outline gradually became clearer, the murderous intent on Habak's face began to bloom slightly.
Since most of the army was transferred by Gueras and them, the strength of Seleucid was extremely empty at this time, even the capital Antioch, there were only less than 5,000 defenders, and the naval fleet behind Habak was carrying 40,000 elite soldiers of New Carthage.
The Seleucid navy was quick to see such a large fleet approaching, and dozens of warships quickly marched out of the harbor towards Habak and them.
Although the number of warships on the two sides is about the same, Habak's eyes are full of contempt when he looks at the Seleucid fleet opposite, and he also has the capital to despise these opponents, and the flagship he is riding on the Aquaria alone can be worth half of the Seleucid fleet.
"Quick fix! After cleaning up these small shrimps, we will immediately send our army to land, and don't let the Seleucid king escape! ”
"Yes! Marshal! ”
After explaining to his men, Habak went back to his room, ready to make up for a good night's sleep, in order to get to his destination as soon as possible, he had not been able to sleep soundly, and now that he had finally arrived at his destination safely, he could finally rest assured. As for the next battle, he believed that the boys under his command would definitely not let him down.
And the final result was as Habak thought, there was no surprise, when he woke up, the Seleucid fleet that had stood in front of them had already been bombed to slag, and at the same time, the 40,000 troops on board had successfully landed, and half an hour earlier, captured the Seleucid capital of Antioch.
As for Marcus, the titular Seleucid king, when the soldiers of New Carthage entered the palace, they found that this guy was still sleeping soundly with several beautiful women in his arms! Completely unaware that this emperor of his own has already done it.
