Chapter 187: Encounter
The ashes flew in the sky, creating a clear contrast with the white snowflakes.
When the giant's burlap clothes burned, there was a blow of fly ash everywhere.
Their armor was stripped off piece by piece, and armor and weapons were probably the only things of value for the giants.
In this battle, 1w6 cavalry and 3w5 infantry were lost, and this was under the premise that the redeemers were fully outplayed.
"Alas, some of the brothers are all gone." The soldiers who cleaned the battlefield sighed.
"Are the places we are going to be the homeland of our corpses?"
The surrounding soldiers carried the humanoid corpse and wrapped it, and let the remaining broken remains sleep here.
After the giants of the two strongholds were destroyed, there was no point in staying in the wasteland, and the soldiers left with the corpses they could carry.
Yue Jun led a corps of less than 8w to move south, and if he wanted to attack the Sunset Valley stronghold farther away, he needed to replenish the grain and grass soldiers and intelligence.
As everyone walked south, the climate gradually warmed up, spanning the entire Freshwater Basin of Decaeld, extending to near the border, and Prince Chen and others also came by warship.
Whether it is the transfer of the legion and the arrangement of food and grass, it is a very cumbersome matter, but fortunately, Yue Jun is here, and Su Ming took the opportunity to put the responsibility on him.
The group took the warship all the way to the west, opposite the stronghold of Sunset Valley, which was once a prosperous city of the Empire, but everything was in the past.
Prince Chen has been pestering Su Ming for the past few days, and he has to deduct two kinds of inscriptions, Su Ming really can't resist him, if it weren't for Prince Chen's inability to die, how could he be in such a mood.
Su Ming maliciously taught the gluttonous desire and cooking the sea, and the prince of Chen trumpeted out the use of these two inscriptions.
The fleet had been traveling for a week, during which Yue's army had already sent an order to the whole territory to mobilize all the legions that could be mobilized to march towards Zhaohui City.
It was the main city built by the relocated humans across the river after the fall of the old city, and it was also a military stronghold, and the giants rarely plundered it.
The reason is very simple, Zhaohui City has both natural river defense and high walls, which is not comparable to the half-hung city of Plande.
It is also the border, and the distinction between cities is reflected. The buildings of Zhaohui City are simple and elegant, almost every house is white-walled and ink-tiled, the houses are neat and orderly, and the streets are paved with clean and tidy stone slabs.
Most of the buildings here are pointed corners with long eaves stretching.
The city wall around Chaohui City is two zhang thick and seven zhang high, and with the power of the people of this world and the times, the construction of this high wall is comparable to the power of the country.
It would be difficult to replicate this kind of fortification in other cities, and the giants did not know how many times they had harassed the construction of this high wall.
Because it is facing the entrance of the Rio Grande Mountains, it is natural that this place is a military city.
After Prince Chen arrived at Chaohui City, the soldiers inside knelt down to greet him, and several docks along the river were almost filled with warships.
In the past few days, as many as 30w of legions have been mobilized, and large armies have entered the city one after another, which is almost the limit of Decaild's mobilization.
Mountains of grain and grass were transported to the city, and the gates were opened for several days and nights before the supplies were delivered.
After Prince Chen and the others entered the city, the people in the streets watched curiously, and the children shrank behind the adults, ignorant of what was coming.
"You should have done it a long time ago! Did you only receive our taxes this year!? ”
"You know what? The official is always like this, the more you delay, the more efficient you are! ”
The two people opened their mouths, and their dissatisfaction and sarcasm with the government poured out at this moment.
"Mom, are we going to war?" The child asked like his mother.
"It depends on winning or losing."
"Win or lose?"
"If you win, you will be warned, and if you lose, you will be sent to death."
"I heard that three more strongholds have been destroyed in the east, and with the addition of three here, won't we win soon!" The peasants who stood by still hoped that the war would be won, so that the farmland of the old city might be recovered.
"Alas, what's the difference, the taxes are heavier than before." The merchants shook their heads.
There are more and more people watching on the streets, and most of the people are seeing the prince for the first time.
Their words were naturally heard clearly, but is a ruler who acts according to the will of the people still called a ruler?
"Master Caesar, you're expecting a good one." Prince Chen rode a tall horse and said to Su Ming next to him.
"How many giants are there?"
"Four legions, a total of fifty thousand."
"How many more times can the inscription weapon be used?"
"7 strongest blows."
The firepower of the inscription weapon is sufficient, and the key is whether the giants are worthy or not.
Zhaohui City Lord Murphy ran out in a hurry, there was no news before Prince Chen came, and after learning that the crown prince had arrived, his running shoes were about to fly.
Murphy was wearing a dark green brocade dress, the belt bound his belly looked very stressful, his fat head and big ears were covered with sweat, and a pair of mung bean eyes ran faster after seeing the honor guard not far away.
After some tedious etiquette, Murphy got up from the ground.
Prince Chen is not in the mood to greet him now, and after the superiors and subordinates exchange polite words, Prince Chen plans to go and see the legions that come.
Su Ming handed over the arrangements of the soldiers to Leonard and others, and became a shopkeeper himself.
Zhaohui City was completed 21 years ago, and the old king personally inscribed the word Zhaohui to resist the sunset.
It was closer to the north, and Su Ming was walking aimlessly on the streets, and light snow was falling in the sky.
Pedestrians on the street hurried and looked nervous. Soldiers and patrols weaved in and out, and the streets were soaked in a few moments as thin snowflakes hit the ground. Flying
The palatial pavilion was flooded with larger snowflakes, and the glazed blue tiles at the top were concealed from the luxury.
The snow was heavier, and the roofs were gradually covered with white cotton.
These days, Su Ming has been spending time in killing and rushing, and it is difficult for him to calm down and understand his combat experience.
Snowflakes are sprinkled, and the wind blows like elves flying in the sky.
Su Ming walked on the sparsely populated streets, like a homeless wanderer.
His mind was ethereal, and that subtle realm of mystery came again. The surrounding snowflakes paused in the air, and each ice crystal seemed to have its own life, trajectory, and rhythm......
"Rhythm, rhythm, isn't this the realm of the rhythm of all things?"
Su Ming is not quite sure about the reason for this phenomenon, his Qi Sect does have an extraordinary sense of energy, and the branch that extends from this to the outside, from the inside to the outside, he not only has a very sensitive touch to energy, but also has a sense of the movement trajectory of objects, the simplest example is the ballistic prediction when the bullet is fired.
When Su Ming's spiritual power was fully released, he could even count the number of snowflakes in an area after he had a clear perception of everything around him.
"Sharpshooter!"
"Whew!"
The raging Yang Qi leaked out along the tip of the knife, slicing through countless snowflakes with the force of a single blow.
Obviously, this ability is a hole card, after Su Ming entered this realm, the damage of the qi skyrocketed to the point that it could be compared with the mage, but the disadvantage was that the load on the body was too great, and when a sword shot was issued, his right arm was sore, and he lost his ability to fight.
If you don't have the necessary moment, you will be exhausted when you use this attack.
As Yue Jun is the commander of the whole army, Su Ming naturally cannot overstep his bounds. He has been fighting all this time, his nerves have been tense, and if he doesn't relax, sooner or later the strings will break.
Su Ming wanted to find a restaurant to satisfy his appetite, the task in this world was very long, the food he brought had already been eaten, the food of those soldiers was very good, a large pot of mushy grain was cooked, and Su Ming was afraid after eating a few meals.
It was getting late, and the candlelight was reflected in the candlelight on the exterior windows of the houses on the street, and it was pleasant to drink a pot of hot wine on a snowy night.
It is very abrupt for a city to suddenly jam in three or four hundred thousand people, and you can see idle ** everywhere on the streets, blocking the passing women from molesting, and those women did not dare to resist after rubbing oil, and left in a hurry with a scream.
Su Ming walked into a Prancing Horse Tavern, which was full of bustling soldiers, pushing cups and changing lamps, calling for three drinks and four drinks.
After the door was pushed open, a cold wind blew in, and the soldiers sitting at the door still wanted to scold someone who was so unsightly, and the moment he saw Su Ming, the words in his mouth obediently swallowed back.
Su Ming sat down in a position by the window, and the hazy frosted glass was full of mist.
"The best wine, hot." A few round gold coins were on the table, and the tavern next to it was smiling in his pocket.
Not long after, a pot of aged wine was delivered, along with a table of delicacies, and Su Ming drank it to himself.
"Why is such a big guy here?" Several soldiers recognized the Brown Satin Legion Commander who was walking alongside the prince.
"It is said that he killed hundreds of giants alone!"
"My mother!"
……
The surrounding soldiers whispered, and the noisy atmosphere quieted down.
"Won't you invite me for a drink?" A hooded woman sat across from him, and the black and white gown stood out.
"Be careful! This woman is very dangerous!"
An abrupt voice suddenly sounded in Su Ming's heart.
"Who are you?" This sentence asks two goals.
The woman lifted her hood and revealed a delicate face as white as porcelain, which was the same lady who met the Pope.
"The inscriptionist who opened the door of cause and effect, we meet again."
All the soldiers around them fell to their knees, as if they were asleep.
"What's the matter with me?" I don't know why, Su Ming could only sense her faint energy aura, as if there was a small point in front of her that released light, but it was bottomless.
"Of course I wanted to meet you, the inscriptionist in Masself was solved, but I didn't expect another one to come." A playful smile appeared on the corner of Miss Yi's mouth, and her big eyes sparkled like stars.
"You're going to kill me?" Su Ming raised his vigilance, and the qi sea in his body was running rapidly.
"It's up to you."
"What choice?"
"If you plan to destroy the Mother Goddess, I will destroy the inscription weapon and kill you by the way."
Su Ming secretly took out the detector, and there was a question mark in the message. He tried to keep his surface as steady as an old dog, and his mind was spinning to think about countermeasures.
It is impossible to fight, and with this level of enemy, Su Ming estimates that he has no chance to make a move.
"Is there a Mother Goddess in the Stronghold or in the Rio Grande?" Su Ming asked tentatively.
"That one can say yes or no. It doesn't matter if you want to kill me. Miss Yi stared at the wine jug in front of Su Ming, and a stream of clear wine slowly flew out of the mouth of the pot and was sucked into Miss Yi's mouth.
"What do you mean by Mother Goddess?" Su Ming was thinking.
"Looks like you don't know anything."
"I want to hear about it."
"If you only want to deal with those things in the Rio Grande, feel free, but if you want to deal with the Polar Being, I'm going to have to stop you."
"The ants shake the gods in vain, sad and ridiculous, pitiful and pitiful."
Miss Yi's smile faded, if these humans lacked awe, she would let the world experience it again.
