The young general was finally taken to the Great Bird City, where he met the general at the City Lord's Mansion. At the behest of the Star Queen, the general showed the demeanor of a corporal of Lixian. After weighing the pros and cons, the young general finally agreed to surrender, and Luo Han finally knew his name - Jin Xiang, a general from a poor family, who was not reused in the corrupt Goshawk Kingdom, finally ushered in the opportunity to prove himself, and was put on the spot by Luo Han again.
The fall of Dahu City shook the Goshawk Kingdom, no matter how fierce the White Lion Army was before, it was only attacking the surroundings of the Goshawk Kingdom, which was the feeling of cutting a piece of meat for the Goshawk Kingdom, but the territory was captured, and it was the injury of breaking hands and feet. In particular, the Goshawk Kingdom left 20,000 troops in Dahu City, which was taken down in one day, which made people who did not know the truth infinitely exaggerate the combat power of the White Lion Kingdom. At the negotiating table, the goshawk envoys no longer had the slightest confidence to fight, and could only wait for their own king to give the maximum concession.
The city of Dahu City is strong and deep, and there are plenty of soldiers and horses, so it stands to reason that even if the lord is a fool, he should not fall all at once. But it's a pity that the general of the Goshawk Kingdom, Zhenxi, may really not be as good as a fool in some ways. Luo Han released rumors that the White Lion Army had a plague outbreak in Songping, so it was blocked in Songping City, this lovely general immediately believed it and set off towards Songping City with a large army, wanting to pick up a big bargain, but was ambushed on the road, defeated and fled, but when fleeing back to Dahu City, he was intercepted by Luo Han's ambush arranged in advance and was captured. Then he took advantage of the night to disguise himself as his subordinates and "escape" into Dahu City and seize the city. Not only that, Luo Han also did something even more excessive, he asked the general to "unintentionally" reveal in front of the Zhenxi general that he had already accepted the surrender of the defenders of Songping City, but he was worried that the casualties in the attack on Dahu City would be too great, so he deliberately acted in this drama with the defenders of Songping City. In the end, the general of Zhenxi miraculously escaped and returned to the Goshawk Kingdom. In order to shirk responsibility, he attributed all the reasons for his mistakes to Jin Xiang, and even forged a letter to prove that the reason why he sent troops was because of the news that Jin Xiang gave him. The other party is so cute, Luo Han is also happy to ask the general to send someone to inform the Goshawk Kingdom, and exchange several captured children of the family for Jin Xiang's family, plus Jin Xiang did surrender, which is even more Jin Xiang's "traitor" behavior, this time Jin Xiang is yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, how can I not tell.
The White Lion Army, which took Dahu City, did not continue to attack at all, but requisitioned young and strong on the spot and escorted them back to the White Lion Country. The Goshawk Kingdom has been in the country for a long time, although the court has been seriously corrupted after the inheritance, but the population density is still very high for many years of peace, otherwise it will not be able to suppress the surrounding subject countries. However, the Goshawk Kingdom is different from the White Lion Kingdom, which has the largest population in the royal capital, with more than 200,000, and the surrounding cities range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. The population of the royal capital of the Goshawk Kingdom is the smallest, because the people who live in the royal capital are all powerful and dependents, and the common people are not qualified to live in the royal capital, which causes the population of the surrounding cities to be more than the royal capital. For example, the population of Dahu City and its surrounding villages has reached 180,000, and 30,000 young and strong people were forcibly extracted by the White Lion Kingdom at the ratio of one out of five, leaving a bunch of old and weak women and children for the Goshawk Kingdom to clean up the mess.
War is never merciful, for a group of soldiers who kill people as a profession, as long as they are enemies, there is no mercy at all, even if they know that the remaining people after these young people are taken captive will face a huge existential crisis, but what does it matter to them?
The White Lion Kingdom's approach undoubtedly made the Goshawk Kingdom very angry, of course, what was even more angry was that the White Lion Kingdom said in the negotiations that these 30,000 young men would not be included in the number of soldiers provided by the Goshawk Kingdom to the White Lion Kingdom, and if the White Lion Kingdom captured other cities again before the negotiation was finalized, it would still do the same thing. This put a lot of pressure on the goshawk kingdom, after losing 20,000 troops, the goshawk kingdom can mobilize enough troops to defend the remaining cities, and the 50,000 troops on the left and right roads of the white lion country will inevitably attack the goshawk kingdom after sweeping the surrounding countries.
Perhaps this was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the king of the Goshawk Kingdom agreed to the conditions proposed by the White Lion Kingdom at the beginning, bowed down to his vassals, paid a high tribute, and levied 50,000 young men as a source of troops to provide to the White Lion Country, and went to the White Lion Country with the proton. Anyway, for the magnates of the Goshawk Kingdom, as long as their status is still there, they can still live well, and it is always the civilians at the bottom who really bear this.
A big battle ended with a complete victory for the White Lion Kingdom, which did not surprise Luo Han, although the process was a bit absurd, but the result Luo Han had long expected. During the battle of luck, Luo Han had a lot of understanding of this country, and then used the White Lion Chamber of Commerce to collect a lot of information, focusing on the personality and style of the powerful people of the Goshawk Kingdom, and determined that this was a country that had rotted to the bone, so Luo Han decided to take it as the first target.
The conquest of the White Lion Kingdom has caused great damage to the Goshawk Kingdom and its surrounding countries, and it has not been slowed down for decades, and the hundreds of thousands of young men obtained through looting and compensation have greatly expanded the military strength of the White Lion Country, although it cannot be trusted, but it is used as a labor, and it can be used as a vanguard cannon fodder team during the siege, which greatly relieves the pressure on the White Lion Kingdom's own elite troops, and those young men from the Casita Kingdom can become a trustworthy army, as long as the military salary is sufficient, Most of those people were willing to serve as soldiers for the White Lion Nation.
Under these circumstances, the White Lion Kingdom organized the Goshawk Kingdom and the surrounding youths to form the Tuntian Army, and started a large-scale tuntian in a wasteland to reserve grain in preparation for future expeditions.
Returning to the Eastern Capital, Luo Han began a leisurely life again. The time span of this trial is too long, and although the difficulty seems to be quite high, the sense of oppression is still very low.
In the blink of an eye, the fifth year of the Tower of Babel is about to appear, and the tense moment belonging to the trialists has finally arrived.
According to the initial quest prompt, this item is called "Spirit of the Deadwater" and will appear in the Ice Fields of the Far North. Each Tower of Babel requires the collection of nine copies of the "Spirit of Dehydration" to place in the Tower of Babel. Since the "Spirit of the Water" only appears in a certain month of the year, every team that still hopes to clear the Tower of Babel must send someone to the Far North Ice Sheet to guard it. The only thing to be thankful for is that when the "Spirit of Dehydration" appears in large numbers, the ice field will have a vision, so that no one will notice it and disappear silently after the appearance.
But the current situation,No one dares to go alone,In the past few years, several trialists have been assassinated carelessly,One of them survived,So I know,The assassin is a Japanese trialist with the ability to transform,Can change into anyone's appearance,Can even imitate the energy fluctuations of the other party's normal state,The only flaw is that there is no way to imitate the core abilityγ Since the Assassin was unable to use the high-lethal Charge skill to achieve a one-hit kill, as long as he didn't fall alone, there was basically no problem, so this time each team sent a duo to squat, and agreed that everyone would go with each other to avoid the Assassin disguised as a companion.
Lin Ya and Liunian sent by Luo Han's side, one has a perceptual specialty, the other is almost immortal, and men and women are not tired of working together, aren't they? If the two of them can create a little spark, Luo Han doesn't mind fulfilling it.
A few days after the two left, Luo Han was studying the topographic map in the yard to see if he could dig up some oil and make it out, when a maid came over and said, "Master, someone outside is looking for you, saying that it is your old friend?" β
Luo Han raised his head and asked, "Who?" It's not going to be here again, right? β
No wonder Luo Han thinks so, since he took over as the head of the Eastern Capital, there have always been people who want to have a relationship with Luo Hanla. But Luo Han has a showdown now, and he no longer needs to care about the impact of worldly relationships on him, so he is all closed. There are too many nails, and everyone knows Luo Han's current temper, unless there is something important, they are reluctant to come to Luo Han again.
The maid said: "The man refused to say his name, but said that you would definitely want to see him, because he came here to talk about cooperation with him." β
Luo Han raised his eyebrows: "It's a little interesting, let him wait for me in the living room." β
"Yes, sir."
Luo Han Youya came to the living room and saw the person sitting there, but he instantly made an attack gesture, that person was Zhuang Zhou!
"Brother Hanfeng, don't come unharmed." Zhuang Zhou didn't care about Luo Han's hostility at all, and greeted him with a smile.
Luo Han looked left and right, and then released a scan of his perception in turns, confirming that only Zhuang Zhou came, and then said: "You all stand down, no one is allowed to come here without my order." β
The nearby maids and servants all retreated, and Luo Han raised his wrist unceremoniously, and said on the team channel: "Zhuang Zhou is here with me, bring someone over immediately." β
Zhuang Zhou smiled: "I have investigated, there are only you and Thunderbolt in the Eastern Capital now, and the Nightmare is a reserve, and it is still in the Storm Cave Mansion, so it is not so fast to come." But don't worry, I didn't come here with any ill intentions, just to talk about a cooperation that will be beneficial to both of us. You are a wise man, and I think you should know that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. β
Luo Han thought for a while, and also laughed: "It seems that you don't mix well in Huaguo Mountain, you are from an alliance camp, and you are not a little angry when you mix with the imperial camp." β
Zhuang Zhou didn't care, nodded and said, "Yes, everyone bullied us and wanted to leave us behind for everything, such as this Ice Hunt." β
Luo Han raised his eyebrows: "What?" Are they also interested in the "Spirit of Decay"? β
Zhuang Zhou shook his head: "They are not interested in that, they are just very interested in your head." You may not know that because of the reason for joining Huaguo Mountain and opposing Heavenly Court, as long as all the monks can kill one of us, they can go straight to Heavenly Court, so we don't dare to appear blatantly, as long as you stay in the human gathering area, we can't go out in groups. But this time you will all go to the Ice Field, there are no powerful monks in that place, and even the Heavenly Court doesn't bother to care about it, this is their best chance. β
"Oh? You have a mission to kill us? β
Zhuang Zhou nodded: "There is such a mission, but it doesn't have to kill you." In fact, all Trialists are on the hunt list, and as long as you kill the same number of Trialists as your own team, you can complete the main quest this time. However, this is released by the Proving Ground, not by Sun Wukong, so we can't kill each other in Huaguo Mountain, even if we are not in Huaguo Mountain, if Sun Wukong knows, we will also be expelled from the Huaguo Mountain camp, and we can't continue the original mission, which means we can only stay in this scene forever. Therefore, most people's goal is still you, unless there is really no target to start in the end, you can only take risks and attack the same camp. β
Luo Han squinted at Zhuang Zhou: "And you wanted to attack the same camp from the beginning." β
Zhuang Zhou spread his hands: "I can't help it, if I don't kill them, they will also attack me and my team in the end, after all, we are all Huaxia people in the end." β
Luo Han disdainfully: "You're embarrassed." β
Zhuang Zhou said: "It's one thing for us to fight, if I hadn't been forced to do anything, I wouldn't have pulled them to save Sun Wukong." Now we're talking about cooperation. One thing to say, I think the individual strength of the trialists in our Huaxia region is stronger than that of the imperial camp, but the number is a disadvantage after all, if you don't cooperate with me, in the face of an enemy that is multiple to you, even if you can win, how much price do you have to pay? Are you willing to accept it? β
Luo Han was silent, in all fairness, he didn't trust Zhuang Zhou, after all, he had already been cheated once. But if you really have to face twice as many Imperial Trialists, it is really not optimistic that your side will survive to some extent.
"How do you want to work together?" Luo Han finally compromised.
Zhuang Zhoudao: "Of course, this kind of cooperation is not something that our two teams can take, I am looking for you first because you have enough influence in this camp, and I hope to talk to all the captains about the specific cooperation matters." β
"Aren't you afraid that going against the sky and the fire cloud will kill you?"
"I don't think you're going to let me die until I'm out of use." Zhuang Zhou said confidently.
"Boss, where's that kid?" At this moment, Meng Fei rushed in.
Luo Han raised his hand to stop Meng Fei and said, "Help me watch the Eastern Capital, I'll go out with him for a few days." β
Meng Fei was confused: "Boss, you don't have a fever, right?" You ...... with him"
"He has something to talk to the captains, and I will take him to visit them one by one. Don't worry, he won't be able to deal with me. β
Zhuang Zhou also smiled bitterly: "I have dealt with him, and I have made myself ruined, but I don't dare to beat him again." β
Seeing that Luo Han was calm, Meng Fei felt a little relieved, and said, "Then boss, be careful, watch out for this guy." β
Luo Han nodded: "I know in my heart, you will talk to the others later, and do everything that needs to be done." I'll tell you all the way. β
"So, Brother Coldwind, can we go?" A white cloud appeared at Zhuang Zhou's feet, supporting him and flying into the air.
"Let's go."
