Chapter 24: The Closed Disciple (Part II)

As Kapok spoke, Yaya's gaze surveyed the surroundings curiously.

As early as his youth, he had heard his sister Ama talk about the towering mountains of Qizhou, especially his sister's description of this sacred mountain, and since then, he has dreamed of one day crossing the sea to Qizhou to see it with his own eyes.

After more than 20 years of waiting, today's dream has finally come true.

Soon after Kabayashi took Kapok and Ama to the outer worlds, Yaya's uncle, King Goon, took Agu and his younger brother and another sister to Princess City to be carefully trained. After three years of education and investigation, the king was entrusted with important tasks according to the personality traits of each of the three siblings: Yaya participated in the military leadership of the country of Kaon, the younger brother of Aya became a member of the leadership of the industrial revolution, and the younger sister of Yaya participated in the administration of the country of Kaon.

Because the savannah has always been shrouded in the shadow of the invasion of the seamen at any time, building an army capable of resisting the seafarers has become the most important thing for the various kingdoms of the savannah. As he grew older and Yaya's performance in the army was excellent, King Singing promoted Aya's position in the army, and eventually became the front-line commander of the entire army of Singing Kingdom.

Before Kabayashi and Kapok returned to the savannah, Yagu was under tremendous pressure every day. If the seamen launch a full-scale war to invade the savannah, the princess city he is stationed in is undoubtedly the first target that the seacrackers will focus on, and whether they can defend the princess city will become the key to the entire battle situation. As a front-line commander, Yagu knew that there was no way out, and he had long established a firm belief that once the war began, he would live and die with Princess City.

However, now that Agu's mood has relaxed, he is enjoying the pleasure of this long trip across the sea with Kapok. Because the prairie has no worries in the short term, and the upcoming war in Xizhou is not a matter of life and death for him, because he is not the front-line commander of the Xizhou people, he and Kapok Zi came to Xizhou to convey a message to the Xizhou people and call on the Xizhou people to unite to resist the enemy.

Hearing that Kapokko's statement was over, Yaya's gaze withdrew from the beautiful scenery of Mount Kinabalu to look at the medicine fairy.

Yao Xian looked at the sunset on the top of the distant mountain and said slowly: "Those who should come will always come, but the people of the sea only came to compete with us landers for territory at this time, which can be described as a blessing in misfortune for us landers." Because we, the prince of Jiuxian City and the descendant of the Heavenly King, have just returned from the outside of the world, the prairie people are already very strong, and we land people still have a chance to survive. ”

Speaking of this, Yao Xian turned his face to Kapok Zi and said, "Prince, among us here, Jiesheng knows Xizhou the best, and Jiesheng is the first diplomatic envoy in the history of my Blue Misty Mountain. In the past ten years, Jiesheng has gone to Xizhou every year to sell the drugs produced in our Blue Fog Mountain to major distributors in Xizhou. This time, he has just returned from Xizhou, so let Jiesheng tell you and General Yagu about the current situation in Xizhou, so that you will have a better idea of how to act when you arrive in Xizhou. ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Jiesheng, and Jiesheng first smiled at the medicine fairy and said, "Thank you for the lifting of Grandpa Medicine Immortal!" Then, he looked at Kapok Zi with a serious expression and said, "Lord Wang, Xizhou has undergone great changes in the past twenty-five years, and there are only five of the original dozen kingdoms left.

Among them, the Linhai country is the smallest with only one strait separated from our Qizhou, but because the Linhai King has always strictly adhered to neutrality and active diplomacy, there has been no war in the Linhai country in the past 20 years.

The most powerful kingdom in the Western Continent today is the Ancient Land Kingdom, which has just annexed the adjacent West Realm Kingdom in the northwest of the Western Continent.

The other three surviving kingdoms were located in the southern part of the Western Continent, namely the Shenhai Kingdom, the Nandi Kingdom, and the Minghai Kingdom, and part of their borders were connected to the Gudi Kingdom, which now annexed the Western Realm. The strongest of the three southern countries is the Southland Kingdom in the middle.

Because they were worried that the King of the Ancient Land would dominate the Western Continent, the three southern kingdoms had been uniting against the Ancient Land Kingdom. This time, because the King of Gudi invaded and occupied the Western Kingdom, the three countries have launched a joint retaliation operation, sending troops to attack the southern border areas of the Gudi Kingdom.

Therefore, the prince and General Yagu will face a full-scale civil war in Xizhou this time, and in order to resist the invasion of the people under the sea, they must first be able to persuade the people of Xizhou to stop the civil war as soon as possible. ”

Kapok and Agu exchanged glances with each other, meaning that the situation in Xizhou was worse than they expected!

The level of weapons and equipment of the people of Xizhou has always been the most concerned issue for Kapok, so he asked: "Jiesheng, how is the current weapons and equipment of the army in Xizhou?" ”

Kapok's question was very general and professional, and everyone looked at Jiesheng to see how he answered.

Jiesheng looked at Kapok Zi and said calmly: "Back to the prince, the Xizhou army is now a mixture of hot and cold weapons, and the cold weapons in hand-to-hand combat are still swords, spears and clubs, and the long-range ones are still bows and arrows and darts. Thermal weapons are gunpowder guns, which have only been widely used in the last decade. ”

"Is the gunpowder gun breech or breech?" Kapok then asked.

"The prince is asking about the way to reload gunpowder, right? As far as I know, gunpowder cannons and powder guns are generally loaded with gunpowder from the firing port. This time I heard in Xizhou that the army of the ancient land king was equipped with a new powder gun, which is said to be loaded with gunpowder and bullets from the breech, and the firing speed has been significantly increased. "Jiesheng Dao.

"This is good news for us to resist the undersea people," Kapok Zi looked at Jiesheng and smiled, "Does the army of the Xizhou people have any form of chariot?" ”

A smile appeared on Jiesheng's face, "Lord Wang, if the people of Xizhou can make a chariot similar to that driven by Wang Ye and General Yagu, if 50,000 people from the sea want to conquer 10 million people from Xizhou, won't they be crushed by the chariot of the Xizhou people?" ”

The old men, who had been nervous, finally let out a burst of merry laughter, and they were proud of the fact that their disciples and grandchildren had calmly talked and laughed and responded to the profound questions of the prince of the prairie.

Jiesheng smiled, and then said with a serious expression: "Lord Wang, Xizhou, like Qizhou, cannot make any self-moving machines, but it is very different from Qizhou, because Xizhou has a flat terrain and a vast territory, so horses and carriages have been commonly used since ancient times, and gunpowder cannons and military supplies are mainly transported by horse-drawn carriages. ”

"It seems that the information given to us by the Governor of the Eastern Alliance under the Sea is accurate!" Kapok said to Atani.

Looking at the sunset that gradually sank to the top of the distant mountain, Kapok's mood was a little heavy, he would face a Xizhou continent that was killing each other and had inferior weapons.

"Prince, what are the weapons and equipment of the seamen? Will they be able to make a chariot like the Prince's? Xinghe pharmacist asked with concern.

Kapok said to the people present with a solemn expression: "I have not seen the weapons and equipment used by the people at sea in land warfare, but we have seen it as early as 25 years ago, and the people at the bottom have chariots and warships that move in the sea, and they can also make cold-light guns for long-range attacks.

From this, it is not difficult to deduce that the weapons and equipment of the undersea gene people who are about to start a war against Xizhou must be much better than the legions in Xizhou. They can undoubtedly build a vehicle that can move on its own on land, but if they fight one-on-one, their vehicle will certainly not be as effective as our extraterrestrial chariot. Moreover, we hope that the combat effectiveness of the new chariot created by Shanglin and Princess Zhen'er in the prairie will surpass that of the genetic people, otherwise, it will be difficult for our prairie to defeat the genetic people even if we fully support the Xizhou War of Resistance. ”

The medicine immortal said sincerely: "The current situation in Xizhou is like this, the prince and General Yagu should think carefully about how to act after going to Xizhou. Where we need to help, please let the prince know. It is everyone's responsibility to resist the people at the bottom of the sea, and we are all on land, not to mention that we are friends of the prince and the descendants of the Heavenly King, as long as I can do what the people of the Blue Misty Mountain can do, we will definitely do it. ”

Kapok Zi looked at the medicine fairy and said: "Grandpa medicine fairy, we really have a lot to ask you and everyone here, the Xizhou War will happen at any time within half a year, and it will be unprecedentedly cruel and protracted, so the five kings of the prairie and Shanglin hope to stock up on enough food and medicine in the Blue Mist Mountain as soon as possible."

Because our fleet needs to travel between the steppe and the West Continent once or so in a month, we need to stock up on at least 5,000 men to eat a month's worth of food and at least 10,000 wounded soldiers with first-aid medicine and bandaging materials. I have five hundred gold coins on my chariot, which will be used for your military expenses. If it is not enough, our fleet will bring more gold when it sails to the West Continent. ”

The medicine immortal replied without hesitation: "Rest assured, the prince is a matter of survival for the people of our land, and we people of the Blue Mist Mountain will do our best to store food and medicine." The prince doesn't have to worry about expenses, in the past few years, Jiesheng has earned a lot of money for my Blue Fog Mountain, and I am worried that there is nowhere to use the money. ”

The old man present changed his serious expression and smiled again.

At this time, Yagu, who had been quietly observing the words and deeds of Jiesheng, turned his head and whispered a few words to Kapok.

After hearing this, Kapok Zi looked around and said with a smile: "Grandpa Medicine Immortal, the three pharmacist grandfathers, Grandpa Doctor, and Mage, I have already thought about visiting Blue Mist Mountain before I set off to come to Qizhou, and one of the reasons is to ask you to help me find a military advisor who is familiar with the situation in Xizhou."

Since we came here today, I have heard many times your praise for Jiesheng, I saw his cleverness and cleverness when I first met Jiesheng in Wulingzhuang, and now General Yagu has also taken a fancy to him, saying that it is difficult for us to complete the heavy responsibility on our shoulders when we go to Xizhou this time without the help of Jiesheng.

Therefore, I solemnly make another request to Grandpa Yaoxian: I hope that Jiesheng can serve as the military advisor of our expeditionary force and take up his post immediately, and go to Xizhou with us tomorrow to do pre-war mobilization work. I will leave a soldier who will send a report in the Blue Misty Mountain, and in the future, Grandpa Medicine Fairy can contact us in Xizhou and Shanglin in the prairie at any time. ”
