Chapter 25: Breaking the Game
Kelly. Isadour's family, both economically and politically, belonged to a wealthy class that was slightly higher than the middle class and less than the tip of the olive in the shape of an olive-shaped Millican society with a sharp end and a round middle.
husband and wife, the woman is a senior official of the federal agency, and can get a fixed salary of 95,000 meters a year;
Male John. Weili is a senior engineer of General Electric World Research Institute, one of the oldest multinational group companies in the United States, with a basic annual salary plus technological innovation and patent awards, and an annual income of at least 500,000 yuan.
In addition, because Isadour's great-grandmother had a flash of inspiration at the end of the 60s of the old era, invented double-sided tape, and used the patent rights obtained to take a stake in the world's largest office supplies and consumables company, the family also has an inherited trust fund of about 30 meters a year.
95,000 plus 500,000 plus 300,000, the total income of the Isadour couple is close to one million meters a year, and they only pay for one man, two girls and three children, which is naturally more than enough.
It is precisely because they have a strong financial backing that they may decide to adopt Zhang Longchu overnight, after all, for most ordinary people, no matter how kind they are, they will do what they can.
And Zhang Longchu suddenly entered this kind of wealthy family life from the poor family at the bottom of Orange Street in Los Angeles, and everything naturally changed dramatically.
However, in the first few dozen days of his adoption, he didn't have time to savor this sweet change, and almost devoted all his energy to protecting the survival of the 'Dragon First Clan' in the world of strange things.
It turned out that since Zhang Longchu gained the power of beastification, the area that caused the black fog in the strange world to dissipate expanded from 10 by 10 square kilometers to 400 square kilometers by 20 by 20, and in addition to the walled city of the Long Chu clan, seven or eight indigenous villages and towns in the jungle appeared.
And among these seven or eight indigenous villages and towns, there are actually some fish that have slipped through the net in those three indigenous villages and towns that were broken and slaughtered by the Longchu clan more than ten years ago.
These fish who slipped through the net didn't think that they first provoked the war against the Chulong clan because of greed, and hated the Longchu clan who slaughtered them and wiped out the village, only because they had no power to retaliate, they had to lie dormant like hibernating poisonous snakes.
Time flies, nearly twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and when this group of people feels more and more hopeless for revenge, things suddenly take a turn for the better.
It turned out that one of them was a young man named Pando, who had fled to an indigenous village called 'Kuroki' after suffering the pain of extinction more than ten years ago.
At that time, he had no support and no belongings, so he had to sell himself in order to survive, became one of the slaves of the black wood family, and was fortunate enough to be assigned to help the servant who carried the spear when the chief's son was hunting.
Later, by chance, this young man rescued the son-in-chief from the mouth of the wolf, and became a samurai, and began to be deeply trusted by the son-in-chief, and gradually became his most important confidant.
As time passed, the head of Kurogi grew old and died, and his young son became the new leader, and because 'Kurogi' was the most powerful of the nearby towns, the young new head naturally became the leader of the armed alliance of eight indigenous villages and towns.
A young man with a high heart and a strong blood and a noble background who has just ascended to a high position naturally wants to have the achievements of a strong master and his ancestors, and for the indigenous people who live in the jungle of crisis and rely on the strength of martial arts to survive, the greatest achievement is a battle that can harvest great wealth.
After guessing the hidden ambitions of his young master, Pando mentioned the wealth of the Dragon Chu clan in front of him from time to time, and after a long time, he finally provoked a different kind of thought to the black wood people.
On the night of Isadour's adoption, Zhang Longchu couldn't sleep all night in his new bedroom, and when he was bored and sneaked into the world of strange things to kill time, he accidentally saw that the black wood man was reorganizing the army of several nearby villages and towns, and it looked like a big war was imminent.
At the first time, Zhang Longchu was ready to issue an oracle to the Chulong clan to remind the whole clan to prepare for battle, but found that his ability to issue oracles had not yet recovered, so he had no choice but to send various natural disaster warnings, and finally alerted the Longchu Walled City before the combined army of the indigenous villages and towns pressed the border.
It's a pity that under Pando's reminder, the indigenous army was particularly cautious when marching this time, and until it marched to the city of the Chulong Clan, there was no possibility of being attacked and camped.
The Great War begins.
Because the siege battle of tens of thousands of people is completely different from the jungle field battle of 1,000 people, Zhang Longchu's limited power magic techniques such as stabbing in a row and making fire in the void can effectively disturb the morale of the army, but it cannot kill the enemy on a large scale;
In addition, when he always wants to snipe the generals of the indigenous coalition forces, he is always disturbed by a mysterious force, so he can't control the situation of the battle at all.
So in the case of the huge disparity in the number of warriors, soon the Chulong clan fell into an absolute disadvantage, and every day seeing his believers being killed and the city falling little by little, Zhang Longchu couldn't help but feel anxious.
At this critical moment, a turning point suddenly appeared, a hunting party of the Dragon Chu Clan, who had disappeared before being besieged, found their way home from the lost jungle with great difficulty, only to find that the walled city had been surrounded by enemies from nowhere.
If the average samurai were to lead the hunting party, the brave would launch a fierce attack on tens of thousands of enemies like moths to the fire, while the cowardly would sneak away in search of another way to survive.
But Xu Linqi, the leader of the hunting team, had the potential to be a famous general, and after being frightened, he quickly calmed down, neither blindly launched an attack nor fled, but followed the traces left by the indigenous army when they came, and sneaked towards the enemy's rear.
After discovering Xu Linqi's unexpected approach, Zhang Longchu's already desperate heart reborn hope, and shifted his attention from the siege war to this hunting team, casting magic to protect them all the way to the vicinity of the indigenous villages and towns.
In order to conquer the Longchu clan, the aborigines have already exhausted their soldiers, and the soldiers guarding the village are extremely sparse at this time, several times less than usual, spying on this situation, Xu Linqi Jing was in the middle of the night, and suddenly led more than fifty hunting warriors to launch a decisive attack, with the help of Zhang Longchu's divine art, he actually broke through the gate of the indigenous villages and towns in one fell swoop, and rushed into the walled city.
Knowing that if someone saw through the dilemma of only a few dozen people on his side, even if the hunting team was all dead, it would be impossible to shake the walled city in the slightest, so Xu Linqi had ordered before the attack that once the city was broken, he would not kill people but try his best to set fire, and then leave the city immediately after the fire.
This insidious trick really worked, the houses of the indigenous people were made of trees, and once they caught fire, they became a prairie fire, and soon their ancestral temples, houses, corrals, and so on were all reduced to ashes, and the natives in the walled city did not need to kill at all, and died by trampling on each other.
After the survivors escaped from the fire city, they had no intention of resisting in the face of the slaughter of the dragon early hunting team because of their undecided exclamations, and they all fled away with exclamations and wails.
At this time, for these women and children whose families were ruined, the final destination of escape was naturally not the vast jungle infested with wild beasts, but only the nearby indigenous villages and towns.
So like a wolf driving a flock of sheep, Xu Linqi led the hunting team all the way to follow the aboriginal women and children fleeing all over the mountains, and went straight to the next aboriginal village and town.
It turned out that the few indigenous warriors guarding the village, seeing the thousands of rebellious people from other villages and towns running to take refuge, thought that the indigenous army of the early dragon tribe had been defeated, and the army of the early dragon tribe counterattacking and revenge had arrived, and they thought that they had no power to resist, so they simply gave up defending the city, took their wives and small belongings, and fled to other places.
As soon as the indigenous soldiers defending the city disappeared, the villages and towns suddenly became chaotic, and before the hunting party of the Longchu clan entered the city and ignited a fire, thousands of women and children had already begun to flee first, and the entire city was completely destroyed.
Seeing such a scene, Xu Linqi did not have the slightest pity, and ordered his subordinates to hunt and kill more than a dozen fleeing indigenous women and children, tear their clothes into strips of cloth, wrap them around the arrows of bows and arrows, and then soak them in human oil and fat, ignite them, and shoot them into the indigenous walled city.
If these rockets had fallen on weekdays, they would have been extinguished long ago, but at this time, how could there be anyone who could put out the fire, coupled with Zhang Longchu's magic to help the fire, the fire quickly became out of control, and the entire walled city turned into a human purgatory in dozens of breaths.
And then it's one to two, two to three... Overnight, Xu Linqi led a team of warriors, and with the assistance of Zhang Longchu's divine power, he first attacked him by surprise, and then relied on bluff to break through five indigenous villages and towns in a row.
At dawn, although there were less than ten of the more than fifty hunting warriors alive, the rear of the besieging indigenous army was already devastated, and more importantly, with the aboriginal ancestral spirit temples burned to ashes, Zhang Longchu's magic could already be used on some indigenous generals.
So after being killed by Earth Thorn, Sky Fire, and Wind Blade, more than half of the leading leaders, including Black Wood, were in full swing, and the morale of the siege army was suddenly dying.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time, the indigenous women and children who fled all over the mountains brought the news that the city was burned and the family was destroyed, so that the army of tens of thousands of people finally lost the hearts of the people.
What's more coincidental is that the balance of victory and defeat has just been reversed, and the only remaining more than 1,500 warriors of the Chulong clan are desperate to go out of the city to launch a decisive counterattack, wanting to burn the soldiers with the enemy's jade, but they did not expect to break through the formation and scatter the entire army of indigenous soldiers.
In the era of cold weapons, unless it is designed in advance and the whole army is notified that it is a fraudulent defeat, otherwise the army will be defeated and retreated, and after it is not formed, there will be no rear support, no rest and recuperation, and it will be even more difficult to organize an ambush and counterattack than to ascend to the sky.
Therefore, there was no suspense after the defeat of the indigenous army, and tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly became lambs to be slaughtered, and under the pursuit and slaughter of the warriors of the Longchu clan, they became dead souls.
And the three indigenous villages and towns that were not broken by the hunting warriors led by Xu Linqi were also turned into ashes under the counterattack of the Dragon Clan.
In the mouth of 100,000 Ding, all the men were killed except for the children, and most of the women and children died from trampling on each other or the mouths of jungle beasts, and in the end, less than 20,000 escaped alive and became the captives of the Chulong clan.
And the Chulong clan with just 10,000 people in Dingkou, 3,000 adult men died sixty percent of them, and healthy women also suffered more than 1,000 casualties.
Fortunately, most of the men who hunted in the jungle, burned the forest and cultivated, served the people in peacetime and served as soldiers in wartime, were in good health, and as long as there were enough women to give birth to them, the population of the dragon clan would definitely be able to return to the old outlook in twenty or thirty years, or even go to a higher level.
