Southern.

This is a stone statue, a really small stone statue, standing on a pedestal more than 2 meters high. It is carved from a single piece of stone. This is the statue that Nangong Sima erected in front of Thomas's tomb.

Nangong Sima Tuo secretly bought off the city wall guards, quietly exchanged the body of a condemned prisoner for Thomas's body, transported it back and buried it in the woods outside the village.

Although everyone was sad, especially Rowan and Nasha, they were even more sad, and followed Thomas for a long time, almost treating Thomas as their own family. Now that something has changed, they are grieving.

However, these are extraordinary times, everyone hates the Red House to the core, and now Thomas's death has deepened everyone's hostility towards the city lord Locke.

While Nangong Sima was also sad, he regretted that once Thomas died, there was no way to build the teleportation array at the edge of the great forest. In that case, all roads would have to be built so that the supply trucks could quickly get from the village to the edge of the forest.

At this time, Rowan volunteered to stand up and take over Thomas's work, saying that he had been following Thomas for 20 years, had high experience in building teleportation arrays and castles, and had also helped command Thomas when he was busy, so he should be able to win this task.

Nangong Sima trustfully handed over the establishment of the teleportation array at the edge of the Great Forest to Luo Wen, and gave him a lot of power, and he could dispose of whatever he needed at any time.

Under Rowan's leadership, a tactical team was formed, and Nasha was still an assistant. The group had already rebuilt the teleportation array at the edge of the Great Forest, built on the original Thomas's built-up array.

Through the city lord's secretary, Nangong Sima secretly smuggled back the materials needed to build the teleportation array.

In this way, it is a matter of time before the teleportation array is built.

However, the road still needs to be repaired, and we must make second-hand preparations.

So, a group of soldiers started from the village and built a road to the edge of the big forest. This is a difficult task, therefore, Nangong Sima has no time limit, and the soldiers who choose this job are all old and weak and some new recruits.

He was to train all the elite on the prairie to withstand the greatest possible all-out war in the future.

Omori standing edge, simple castle.

Big Tent.

Nangong Sima stood in front of the table, looking down at the map on the table.

In the large forest on the map, there are four strongholds that have been built so far. There are also two rivers in the distance above. According to his plan, the river was to be dredged, built into a port, and to build strongholds and scenic spots on both sides of the river.

It seems that this plan has to take its time now, first deal with the Red House and the City Lord, and then gain a foothold in the prairie before continuing to plan other things.

Coppola is very good here, has been keeping small transactions, so far I have been able to do a business every three or four days, and everyone benefits each other and is very satisfied.

There is no news from the Pocket Cave Clan, so I don't know what the situation is. I haven't seen anyone come back until now, and I haven't seen a message come back, is it entering some plot mode?

"My lord! Someone's coming! ”

Nangong Sima was thinking about it, and suddenly the guards reported that Nangong Sima hurriedly went out of the big tent to see.

I saw that the soldiers were already in full array, and two cavalrymen in the distance rushed over, and when they got closer, they saw that the people on the horses were not armed, and they were surrounded by half animal skin and half armor, and their hairstyles were unique.

The two horsemen approached the soldiers, and one of them said, "We are the messengers of the Pocket Cave tribe, and we have no weapons, and we need to see you and have something to say." ”

When Nangong Sima heard that it was someone from the Baodong clan who was coming, he shouted, "Let them in!" Then he turned and went into the tent and gathered up the things on the table.

The two ** Ma Jindao came in and stood in the center of the big tent, first glanced at the big tent, smiled disdainfully, and one of them said: "This place is not as good as my cave!" ”

Nangong Sima just looked at them and didn't speak.

Another said, "We have come to give you a message on behalf of the patriarch, bring 500 good horses and 100,000 gold coins, and come to our people to receive people for three days, otherwise your people will be thrown out to feed the vultures." ”

Both of them laughed.

A group of soldiers surrounded the door.

Nangong Sima smiled and asked, "Are you here on behalf of the Baodong clan?" Are there any tokens? Bring it to me to verify the authenticity. ”

One soldier was about to say something, but the other stopped him and said with a smile: "Since we are messengers, we must have brought our identities here, and we pay attention to etiquette." As he spoke, he took out a ring from a bag he was carrying and placed it on the table.

Nangong Sima could see at a glance that it was a ring that we were not a showman.

"Well, your identity is correct, you just said that this is what your patriarch meant?"

Nangong Sima looked at them with interest.

The two of them didn't know why Nangong Sima wasn't surprised and didn't have any other expressions, but they were so interested in themselves.

A person raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Nangong Sima said with a smile: "Go back and tell your patriarch that tomorrow before dark, if you can't see my people come back completely, you just wait to destroy the clan." ”

The two Teasman-Clansmen stared at each other in astonishment.

Nangong Sima said: "Come and don't be rude, come and come!" Bring something back to the patriarch of the Pocket Cave! ”

Rushing in, the four soldiers knocked down the two Sacks, and before they could scream, the soldiers cut off their ears with a dagger and stuffed them in their arms.

"Ahh

The two soldiers of the Pocket Cave Clan screamed miserably, with incredible expressions and horrors, completely devoid of the arrogance and arrogance they had when they first arrived.

Nangong Sima said: "I suggest you leave quickly, because the time I said is not far away." ”

The two soldiers of the Pocket Clan struggled to help each other up, ran to their horses, and climbed up through gritted teeth.

"Hey, you forgot something!"

Nangong Sima said, throwing the ring that we are not a talent to come.

A soldier of the Pocket Clan took it, put it in his pocket, and ran without looking back.

"Oh! Good! Good! ”

The soldiers cheered loudly.

Nangong Sima watched the two people from the Baodong clan walk away, and his face changed: "Strengthen the vigilance and call the cavalry general to see me." ”

"Yes, sir!" The herald turned and ran.

Nangong Sima turned back to the table, and the figure at the door outside flashed, and the real old wolf came in, followed by Edward, Li Sanbang and Gilliam.

The four of them all looked at Nangong Sima with expectant eyes.

Nangong Sima looked at them, and suddenly said: "Send spies, follow those two soldiers, and the large army will follow up, directly attack it, and kill the patriarch of the Baodong clan!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The four of them had excited eyes and immediately went out!

Nangong Sima immediately summoned the captain of the temporary camp and asked him to draw out a part of the soldiers who were building the castle to form shield soldiers, each carrying a spear, and gather a team of about 500 people to march forward. He will leave a liaison who will be responsible for the direction and speed of the team.

Then he sent another message to the alpaca in his heart, asking him to send 1,000 soldiers to defend the stronghold at the edge of the big forest.

When the alpaca in his heart received the news, he happened to have the soldiers who had been trained before and the soldiers who were resting after repairing the road, so he immediately ordered 1,000 soldiers, brought all the equipment and supplies, and marched to the edge of the big forest together.

When Nangong Sima led people to follow the real old wolf and led 500 cavalry forward, he was still quite excited in his heart, he had always liked the army, but he didn't expect to have his own army now.

The real old wolf asked, "How do you want to fight this battle?" If we fight well, it will be spring, and if we don't fight well, we will lose the prairie. ”

Nangong Sima smiled: "I'm just here to see the excitement, you have the final say in the war, you can arrange it!" ”

The real old wolf smiled: "Haha, then you're welcome!" ”

"When have you been polite, haha! Now that you're the commander in chief, you're in charge! ”

The real old wolf was not polite, and said with a smile: "Slow down and wait for the return of the spies in front." We are small and need to do some confusing deployment. ”

"You haven't been to the Pocket Cave Clan, how do you deploy it?"

The real old wolf laughed: "I'm not as lazy as you, I got the map of the prairie after I came, and I've been studying these peoples for a long time." I'm guessing you're going to have a move. ”

"Haha, it turns out that you ran to Coppola when you were fine, it turned out to be a purpose."

"That's for sure, I don't like Coppola, why go to him if you don't have to! Ha ha! ”

Nangong Sima smiled: "Okay, since you are so well prepared, then I will sit and watch you dominate today!" ”

The real old wolf smiled: "Let's watch a good show, I've been waiting for this moment to command thousands of troops and horses to fight on the battlefield for a long time!" ”

The surrounding grassland is vast, there is a small hill not far from the left, which is the small hill that Nangong Sima sent people to explore before, and in the distance on the right hand side is a large forest where trees can be faintly seen.

One of the spies in front galloped back.

"My lord! The target has hurried to the clan station, and the route has been explored. The enemy didn't notice us! ”

The real old wolf asked: "How far is it from the enemy?" ”

The spy said, "Hurry up, it's less than two hours away." ”

The real old wolf ordered: "Edward will take 100 cavalry to the right, Gilliam will take 100 cavalry to the left, and Li Sanbang will lead 100 cavalry to the middle, advance quickly, bury it according to the previous exercise location, and wait for my signal to kill together!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Each of the three men took his own 100 cavalry and galloped in three different directions.

Nangong Sima saw that there were only 500 people, but now he has divided 300 people out, and there are only 200 people left here. Question: "What if the enemy is waiting for you in gathering forces?" ”

"How smart is the enemy?"

Nangong Sima smiled: "The red boy is not as smart as you, but he is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

The real old wolf smiled: "I'll know later, see how I pull out his wick!" ”

Seeing that he was so confident, Nangong Sima was also full of pride, laughed, rode the chief to his side, and trotted forward with the team.
