Through the oral description of Ravel and others, Zhang Ruoming finally knew the origin of some of these people, and why they came to attack Yangcheng, Ravl These people don't look fierce on the surface, and they don't blink an eye when they kill people, but at this time, their lives fell into the hands of Zhang Ruoming and others, that is called a joy, many questions Zhang Ruoming has not asked, they have already said it all like pouring beans.

The Holy Alliance, to which Ralph belongs, as the name suggests, is an alliance established by the union of many city-states, which has not been established for a long time, only a short period of five years, and the reason why it has been able to develop and grow to this point is because of the breakthrough in key technologies of firearms, which can lead to large-scale production of firearms, and what has done this is the core city-state of the Holy Alliance, Blue Pigeon City.

Ravel and several of his cavalry are members of the Blue Pigeon City, because they have mastered the firearms technology, which makes the strength of the Blue Pigeon City grow by leaps and bounds in an instant, and several other city-states around the city have been getting along with the Blue Pigeon City for generations, and they have been fighting and stopping, although the war has not stopped, but because the strength of all parties is about the same, so in the end the war is always in a state of anxiety.

After the Blue Pigeon City mastered the firearms technology, the relationship between them changed drastically in an instant, and the Blue Pigeon City, which had thousands of muskets, suddenly trampled the other surrounding city-states under its feet, and with its powerful firearms technology, the Blue Pigeon City successfully took the surrounding city-states as its own, and at the same time established a holy alliance, served as the leader of the alliance, and incorporated other city-states into its own command.

Since then, it has been expanding outward, and now there are a total of twelve city-states within the Holy Alliance, with a population of more than 1.4 million, which is a well-deserved huge force, when they heard this, Zhang Ruoming and the others had very solemn expressions, and the population of the entire Black Iron City was only 300,000, and the firearms were no more than two hundred, and these Holy Alliances had such a strong strength.

And judging from the oral accounts of Raffle and others, this force is still extremely aggressive, and in just five years, it has rapidly expanded to such a point, and now it has pointed its troops at Yangcheng, such an offensive speed is really frightening.

In addition, Zhang Ruoming and the others also got some other news from the mouths of Ravel and others, such as the Holy Alliance has a strong hierarchy within the Holy Alliance, except for Skywalker, all people are divided according to the belonging of the city-state, the highest is the people of Blue Pigeon City, they enjoy the highest privileges, people like Lovell, as long as they are born in Blue Pigeon City, they can have a very good starting point, it is very easy to become an officer, and there is a unified uniform and equipment, you can see at a glance that their identity is extraordinary.

And the next are those city-states that took the lead in following Blue Pigeon City, a total of three, the status of these three city-states is slightly lower than that of Blue Pigeon City, mainly responsible for cavalry, artillery and other types of work in the army, relatively speaking, the status is relatively high, among the few cavalry beside Lovell, there are many people from the three cities.

The lowest are the city-states that were conquered in the process of the Holy Alliance's invasion and expansion, they have the lowest status, and after joining the army, they are often only able to serve as the lowest-level infantry, mainly acting as cannon fodder on the battlefield, and there is no standard clothing, they are all very simple.

From this point of view, the Holy Alliance has a strong slavery system, and at the same time, the internal power is extremely differentiated, and in addition, Zhang Ruoming and others also learned that the Holy Alliance's current attack direction is not just one Yangcheng, but is using the Blue Pigeon City as a stronghold, attacking in all directions.

Under Zhang Ruoming's questioning, Ravel told Zhang Ruoming in great detail about the Holy Alliance Legion and the commander who surrounded Yangcheng, and now he is leading the army to attack Yangcheng, which is Zheng Yuanche, the commander of the Second Legion of the Holy Alliance, born in Blue Pigeon City, a real veteran, and a member of the six families of Blue Pigeon City, the entire Holy Alliance has a total of four legions, each legion has more than 20,000 soldiers, three of which are attacking and plundering the land in all directions, and the remaining one is staying in Blue Pigeon City, to prevent accidents from happening.

And Zhang Ruoming continued to ask, Ravel told everyone more details of the situation in the legion, among the 20,000 people in the entire legion, there are more than 6,000 muskets, and at the same time, Skywalker has about 50 people, forming five teams, completely obeying Zheng Yuanche's orders, this time he came to Yangcheng in order to take the land and population of Yangcheng as his own, as for more detailed information, it is not something that a captain like Raffle can know.

Raffle was full of hope that he could exchange his life for his straightforwardness, but unfortunately, they already knew about the existence of Zhang Ruoming and others, how could Zhang Ruoming still let them live, and they couldn't ask any clues, Zhang Ruoming raised the knife in his hand, and Raffle's head fell to the ground, Yang Yi and the others saw Zhang Ruoming's eyes, and they also stabbed one after another, and soon the few people who rushed into the room were all in different places, and they didn't even make a sound.

"What do we do now?" Liu Yangkai asked, and Yang Yi on the side said: "We have to go back quickly, tell the news to Black Iron City, and let them prepare early, this Holy Alliance is really powerful, fifty Skywalkers, this is just a corps." Yang Yi was obviously shocked by the strength of the Holy Alliance, the number of existing Skywalkers in their entire Skywalker was less than thirty, and a legion of the Holy Alliance had so many Skywalkers.

Everyone only felt a bitterness, as for taking refuge in the Holy Alliance? Perhaps they had plans to do so before the interrogation, but now that they had heard how the Holy Alliance treated those who submitted, they had already faced the reality that unless they were willing to grovel and make Black Iron City a slave of Blue Dove City from now on, surrendering would be a dead end.

And which of these people was not born? For them, how could they allow Black Iron City to be insulted like this, and how could they bear to see their people being so spoiled by the enemy, so everyone vetoed this point almost immediately, they are the people of Black Iron City, and they swear to death that they will not let Black Iron City be ceded to each other in vain, so as to exchange for a chance to survive.

Blue Pigeon City's actions are only for annexation, and since they don't want to annex Black Iron City, there is only one way to go, that is, to eliminate them before the Holy Alliance notices them, and Ravel and the others naturally can't stay, after killing these people, Zhang Ruoming said: "The most important thing now is to bring the news back, quickly clean up, you two go outside and watch, don't let anyone else get close." "Five

After everyone cleaned up in the room, Yang Yi said: "Zhang Ruoming, there are more than 200 people outside, but there are more than 100 guns, should we take them all down?" "Yang Yi is undoubtedly a master of the arts, and if he wants to destroy this small army with the five of them, this is not impossible, with the strength of the five of them, he can completely eliminate these two hundred people, provided that he must plan carefully.

Zhang Ruoming couldn't help but be moved, but then rejected this proposal, he said: "This matter is too risky, this place is not far from other places, it is not a deserted place, if we want to destroy the enemy here, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it without an hour, besides, even if we get these guns, with the strength of our two hundred people, it will be very difficult to bring them back, we should hurry up and bring the news back to Black Iron City, which is the most important." “

Zhang Ruoming's opinion was agreed by the others, and everyone immediately left the cabin, because the Ravl people wanted to enjoy themselves, so the soldiers were far away, and when Zhang Ruoming and the others left, everyone didn't notice it at all, and when half an hour passed, everyone saw that there was still no movement in the house, which was strange.

A veteran soldier said with a surprised expression, "Sir, this has been holding out for too long." The other people showed expressions on their faces, and at the same time there was envy in their eyes, but when an hour passed, there was no movement in the room, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little tired in their hearts, no matter how strong this is, an hour of time, isn't it enough, they still have tasks on them.

In the end, I couldn't hold back, several infantry leaders discussed with each other, and then sent two people to the house to ask when to leave, but as soon as I entered the room, I saw that there were six human heads neatly placed on the table, and six corpses on the ground were lying on the ground, and the room was full of blood, and the sound of words could be heard buzzing in the ears, and in the gradually hot weather, the arrival of mosquitoes was fast, and the blood in the room was densely covered in the room, and the smell of blood mixed with the smell of rot went straight to the heads of the soldiers. The two men hurriedly rushed out and shouted, "Sir, you have been killed!" “

How restless the soldiers of Raffle were, this has nothing to do with Zhang Ruoming and the others, when they were shocked and frightened, Zhang Ruoming had already left the village with people and returned to the forest, and saw that the few people in simple clothes in the distance were still standing there, and after seeing their figures, they did not dodge, but met them.

These people are the Yangcheng people imprisoned by Lovell, they are all very young, generally between thirteen and fifteen years old, both men and women, a total of eight people, five women and three men, all very beautiful, white skin, slender hands and feet, look like good seedlings, but the scars and bruises on the body make them look a little terrible, and at the same time extremely lack of nutrition, everyone is very thin, which makes their eyes look big, and look pitiful.

When Zhang Ruoming saw them, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked them if they were willing to go with him and others, the families of these Yangcheng people had already been slaughtered, and naturally there was no other choice at this time, they continued to stay here, they children had no possibility of surviving in the forest at all, as for going outside, the people of the Holy Alliance could not bypass them at all.

They don't want to live that kind of dark day anymore, they would rather leave here, after learning their wishes, Zhang Ruoming and the others didn't talk nonsense, and immediately led people to step up and leave the range of Yangcheng and walk in the direction of Black Iron City, but because they were carrying children, the speed was not much faster, and before they could reach Black Iron City, they ran into the Black Iron City task force that was coming to them.

This time, there was no need to find the direction of a few people, everyone immediately returned to Yeyu City, Shu Han and Liu Sanyi both got the news one step earlier, and were already waiting at the door, and when they saw Zhang Ruoming and others, they immediately rushed back, and after Shu Han's house, everyone stopped to drink a sip of water, and Zhang Ruoming also told everyone what he found and the news he obtained.

At this moment, the shock was natural, the enemy was so powerful and brutal, this was something they didn't expect, many people's faces were a little worried, and Shu Han's face was a little disappointed, he originally thought that this enemy was coming for him, but he didn't expect that the other party just because he discovered the manufacturing method of the musket, so that his strength increased by leaps and bounds, and the manufacturing method of this musket began to spread five years ago, and it has nothing to do with him.

You must know that five years ago, he was still in junior high school, and in his carefree campus life, he didn't know that the world would change so drastically, which made Shu Han a little disappointed, after all, he originally wanted to investigate more about what happened in his previous life through this matter, but from the current point of view, the relationship between the two sides does not seem to be large.

However, he also immersed himself in the message of the Holy Alliance with everyone, and after Zhang Ruoming finished speaking, everyone was a little worried in their hearts, what should they do with such a powerful enemy? At this time, Liu Sanyi asked, "How is the situation in Yangcheng?" “

"We don't know, the entire Yangcheng has been blocked by this Holy Alliance, we can't enter at all, the enemy has more than fifty Skywalkers, if we act rashly, I'm afraid we will only be discovered, and it will be difficult to even come back at that time, but I brought back some Yangcheng people, I'm afraid they will know some news."

Zhang Ruoming and everyone didn't say anything about what happened to these children, after all, this is not a glorious thing, whether it is a boy or a girl, such a painful experience is the darkest past in the bottom of their hearts, and no one wants to show these scars to everyone, so Zhang Ruoming only said that they were rescued from a village that was about to be slaughtered, and did not say anything else.

Several children were quickly brought over, the girls were too tired along the way, coupled with the inhuman torture they had experienced in the past ten days, they were already exhausted, so they had already fallen asleep, and there were three boys, standing in front of everyone, several of them were a little nervous, Zhang Ruoming asked them, and they didn't even dare to say, only one child still had a little courage, telling everyone what he knew.
