The investigator corrected, "No, sir. The common people were very grateful to them, saying that they were their biological parents, showing them the way out, and giving them food, so that they finally ate a few meals of white rice before they died, knowing that white rice was so sweet. ”

"These damned pariahs, for the sake of a little food, forget that they are the common people of the kingdom of Huka, and go to praise and appreciate the enemy! I'm going to send them to the gallows! The Secretary of State scolded viciously.

The investigators did not dare to speak anymore.

"How many untouchables are there?" The Secretary of State calmed down and asked.

"I don't know the exact number, but it is estimated that there must be hundreds of thousands. On the road, under bridges, under eaves, on the streets, wherever people can live, there are refugees. "The investigator reported truthfully.

As soon as the investigator's words fell, the report for help from other places arrived, and the problem was the same: there were too many refugees, the frequency of the cases was too high, and the number of people handling the case was insufficient, so the Secretary of State was asked to send someone to help. Reports for help flew in like snowflakes, and the people who delivered them one after another, and the huge office of the Secretary of State was almost overwhelmed.

Looking at the stacked report for help like a trick, the Secretary of State spurted out a mouthful of blood and shouted sadly, "What a vicious trick." ”

After listening to the report of the Minister of State, Ying Luofan seemed to have aged thirty years all of a sudden, sat on the throne with a pale face, and said after a long time: "You are a good minister of state!" I only know that I sit in the office and read the report, and blindly tell me that the country is safe and the people are safe, and the people are rich and the country is strong. Huo Di bounced up from his throne and roared hatefully, "This is your political achievement!" "Grabbed a priceless antique and threw it on the ground. Angry.

The Minister of State was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, kowtowed like garlic, and said, "The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty." "Kowtowing too hard. It didn't take long for a knock to bleed.

"Go, open a warehouse immediately, recruit some people, build a porridge factory, and cook porridge for refugees." Ying Luofan controlled the feelings, and said flatly: "Starving a refugee to death, I am the only one who asks." ”

The Secretary of State said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, yes." 陛xià. ”

Looking at the staggering back of the Minister of State leaving, Ying Luofan said to the chamberlain: "You go to give the order, the palace starts today." Except for children under the age of ten, each person has only two taels of food per day. If you violate it, you will be beheaded immediately. ”

The chamberlain knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic. Moved to say: "Your Majesty xià benevolence." Please allow the minions to kowtow to you on behalf of the common people! ”

Ying Luofan helped him up and asked strangely, "Why are you kowtowing to me?" ”

The chamberlain cried: "Your Majesty, because the slave is also from a poor place, he knows how the people there live. ”

"That's good. You go and finish the order, and come back and talk to Lian. Ying Luofan said sincerely.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The chamberlain received the order and went in a hurry.

Needless to say, this qiē was caused by Rick. His purpose is to lure these ordinary people from the poor mountains and rivers to the big cities and consume the living force of the Shukka Kingdom. Causing social turmoil, the Shukka Kingdom will not be able to recover for a long time, so that it will not be able to threaten the Blue Moon Empire.

It can be said that if it weren't for Rick's northern expedition, the deep-seated social problems of the Hukka Kingdom would not have been exposed, and Ying Luofan might not have known that the crisis of the kingdom was so severe until he died. With a flick of Rick, he pushed the Hukka Kingdom to the brink of collapse, and if one is not handled well, the Hukka Kingdom will soon have a large-scale civil uprising, or even a civil war.

Looking at the remnant sun that was about to set outside the window, Ying Luofan said softly: "Lord Xia Hua, you are a master, how nice it would be if I were my courtier!" Despite our doomed hostile position, I still have some expectations for you, and I wonder if you have felt it in the distance? ”

Dakavo Castle, where the Huaiyu family is located, is less than a thousand miles away from Huqi City, and is an important weapon-manufacturing base for the Shuka Kingdom. It has a history of more than 300 years in the kingdom of Shuka, and has always maintained close ties with the royal family, and the various weapons and equipment produced are the first choice of the Shukka army. And the eight-cart magic horse gun bought by the Blue Moon Prime Minister Ponger Carlo is also produced here.

The moon hangs high, and the Dakavo Castle is shrouded in the vast night, making it even more tranquil.

The tall castle is much more majestic and atmospheric than Mill Castle. Sixteen circular lookouts were built on top of the high walls, evenly distributed around the castle, so that the guards standing on the lookouts could observe the situation everywhere.

In front of the red castle gate, nearly fifty guards stood. Look closely under the city walls, where a small group of guards is patrolling.

The leader shouted, "Brothers, be careful, that group of robbers from the Blue Moon are active in the vicinity, don't take it lightly!" ”

"Robbers? I've never done anything! Hidden in a grove near the castle, Lu Guangtou muttered quietly, shook his head, glanced at Rick beside him, and thought, "This is the mastermind, it's none of my business." ”

Lu Guangtou's eyes made Rick very unhappy, and he thought: "I have to bear so much military expenses, don't I do this?" ”

In view of this, he viciously threatened Lu Guangtou and said: "You remember for me, I will deduct two gold coins from you this month." After speaking, he ignored Lu Guang's head and begged for mercy, and tilted his head to Ou Lu Zao on the left.

"No matter how capable he is, he is still childish in the end, it's really ......" Ou Luzao sighed in his heart, frowned, and said: "My lord, the Huaiyu family has been the pillar of the army in the Huka Kingdom for generations. The weapons produced at the Daqava Castle were selected for military use, accounting for almost half of the army's needs. Its quality is also top notch on the entire continent. If you can destroy this place, then the kingdom of Shukka will be toothless, and it will not be able to rearm for decades. ”

Rick nodded and said, "This sneak attack must destroy all military equipment and facilities in the castle. In addition, a large number of craftsmen must be captured to prevent the Huaiyu family from making a comeback in a short period of time. ”

Following the construction of Ouluzai, Rick began to focus his offensive on the consumption of the living forces of the four northern kingdoms, and as the main weapon production center of the Shuka Kingdom, Dakavo Castle bore the brunt. With Ou Luzao on the sidelines and Morey, who was familiar with the terrain, he personally led an army of 50,000 to easily find the castle of Dakavo, and hid in the shadows to wait for the opportunity.

"The adults are far-reaching, and the subordinates sigh to themselves!" Not daring to underestimate Rick anymore, Ou Luzao turned to exclaim: "The utensils are dead, the people are alive, leaving those experienced craftsmen is undoubtedly giving Huca Yuguo a chance to turn over." The adult's trick is like cutting off their back road. It's wonderful! ”

Ou Luzao's face was straight, and he continued: "But Dakavo Castle has heavy soldiers. The guards of the Huaiyu family itself, plus the regular army guarding here, the total number reached nearly 20,000. If you capture too many craftsmen, it will inevitably affect our mobility, and if we encounter the enemy troops who come to the rescue, I am afraid that we will fall into a situation where we will be attacked on our backs! So......

Rick smiled and waved his hand, "Sir, I'm too worried." I have my own measure, and I never do loss-making business. And I've always had a lot of luck. ”

Uruza smiled wryly and shook his head, the confidence in Rick's eyes that made him unable to refute. That kind of self-confidence seems to have a magical power, and it unconsciously affects the people around him, making people unconsciously agree with his words. Is this the spirit of kings? Ou Lu Zao can't be sure, but his confidence in Rick has soared.

Everyone obviously does not include Lu Guangtou, Lu Guangtou heard Rick's smug laughter, and felt even more aggrieved, thinking that Rick just now actually deducted his two gold coins for nothing, and immediately put on a bitter gourd face.

As the night wore on, many of the guards at Daqavo Castle could not stand the long night and yawned sleepily. Seeing that the time was ripe, Rick called softly, and Gyokuro, who was hidden in the darkness, quietly appeared in front of him. Rick whispered a few words to her, and Gyokuro nodded in agreement, then disappeared into the darkness again.

In this operation, Rick only brought Yulu, Ao Ling'er, Lu Guangtou, Wei Mang, Sha Huoman, Night Wolf, Li Qi, Long Shan, Lauders, Bubaro and others, and the eighteen Nymph Divine Guard, Alva, Chriss, and Lu Hanxue did not follow. Because of the obvious superiority in troops and the sneak attack, Chrissy and the eighteen Nymph guards did not force them to follow.

About half an hour later, Gyokuro reappeared beside Rick and whispered, "Childe, I didn't find the head of the Huaiyu family, but I found the place where the weapons were cast, and the craftsmen were still working. The guards on the watchtower were mostly cleared, and I set a fire inside the castle, which should be about to burn.

Before he finished speaking, the castle suddenly burst into flames, "It's on fire!" The cries of "fire is on fire, put out the fire" rang out one after another.

Rick originally wanted Yulu to hijack the head of the Huaiyu family, causing the castle guards to throw themselves into chaos, but as the shouts rang out, the Daqavo Castle in front of him was already in chaos. Rick didn't hesitate any longer, he was already very pleased with the results.

With a wave of his hand, Rick's 50,000 soldiers who were originally crawling around the castle rushed towards the castle like arrows off the string.

After nearly a month of operations in the territory of Shuka, the Blue Moon soldiers under Rick's command have already learned the true meaning of sneak attacks. By the time the castle guards reacted, most of the Blue Moon soldiers had already covered up inside Dakavo Castle.

The battlefield of blood and fire is the place where the army grows the fastest, and this sneak attack is the best proof of this. Ao Ling'er continued to swing the fire dragon or fire cage from his hand, and the raging fire spread more violently in all directions.

Although there are nearly 20,000 armed men in the castle, the castle of Daqava, which is highly valued by the Kingdom of Shuka, has never been invaded by war since its establishment. For the guards, it was a rare fat difference to be stationed here, and the result of their consistent mental laxity was that they were suddenly faced with a well-trained Blue Moon army, and they were obviously not able to adapt to the well-trained Blue Moon army. In the face of the overwhelming numerical superiority of the incoming enemy, the vast majority of the soldiers had already developed fear in their hearts, and if they had not begun to organize and resist in an orderly manner under the deterrence of their commanders, and at the same time remembered their responsibilities and the consequences of desertion, it is believed that they would have scattered and fled in all directions. Even so, the Blue Moon soldiers under the leadership of Rick still seem to be carrying out a massacre without suspense. (To be continued......)
