A pair of boots embroidered with the pattern of the Rui Beast with gold thread stepped on a scorched earth, and the man in the gorgeous robe had a blue face, and his two fists were tightly twisted together. From the man's point of sight, there is a ruin in front of him, which was once a bustling city. Its unique geographical advantages, combined with the painstaking management of generations of leaders, have made the city a shining jewel in the southern border of the empire. Especially after the rivalry between the princes, because the city is on the right side, its momentum is even more prosperous. Today, however, it is in ruins. As far as the eye can see, there are broken tiles, thick smoke billowing everywhere, and there is hardly a single intact building. In particular, the castle where the lord lived, once known as the White Castle, is now left with a lot of waste and rubble under artillery fire.

The city, named Ark Harbor.

After resisting the invaders for more than three months, it shed its last drop of blood and declared its demise. However, the invaders from the east had nothing to gain, and they paid a very heavy price for the ruins.

An officer knelt down beside the man in a Chinese robe.

I want to be alone. The man said.

The officer sighed, bowed his head and walked away.

King Pingxi!

Originally titled the King of Anyang, for this western expedition, he specially begged the Ninety-Five Supreme to change his title to Pingxi, in order to pacify Xiyi, so that the old things who looked down on him in the government and the opposition were shocked. For this reason, in addition to the soldiers and horses sent by the empire, he did not hesitate to invest in a well-equipped private army. was originally full of ambition, but he didn't expect that when crossing the ocean, the stormy waves did not stop his pace, but he stayed on this harbor city for three months!

The Western barbarians did almost anything, first destroying the corridors to prevent his army from landing, and then holding on to the cliffs. When he attacked this lonely cliff and thought that he could level the city with one foot, the other party deployed defenses again and again, investing a lot of manpower and material resources. From the outskirts of the city to the center and finally to the White Castle, a total of 34 lines of defense were laid out in front and back. When the entire defense line was breached, the city naturally became in ruins, but his army was also seriously damaged, especially the private army had been reduced by 30%. Originally, in his calculations, this private army would only suffer battle damage when it saw the barbarian imperial capital, but unexpectedly planted a big heel fight here.

How does this make him not annoyed?

How not to be angry!

Annoyed that the barbarian is hateful, stubborn and stubborn, and destined to an unchangeable ending, but he has to consume a lot of his troops, and in the end he will only end up losing both; The angry thing is that the other prince ignored his battle situation, and should have fought together, but he casually found an excuse to prevaricate and went to another battlefield to kill the Quartet, which was the so-called soft persimmon pinch.

That one, titled the Extreme Martial King.

has been famous for a long time, and his combat power and prestige are above him. Among the eight kings of the empire, the ranking is also the top three dragon and phoenix, although he was angry, he didn't dare to speak, so he could only break his teeth and swallow the blood in his stomach. Don't dare to speak, but it doesn't mean that you don't dare to complain, King Pingxi's eyes were murderous, and he had already greeted the Extreme Martial King three hundred times in his stomach.

Now the army was encamped in an open field outside the city, and had to rest a little before pushing the ground inland. Now that a number of scout teams have been sent to probe the enemy, King Pingxi faintly feels that there is a greater threat behind this city, and from the previous three months of fighting, the other party has always been able to withstand the pressure of a **, you can know that they have strong backup. So the ambition that I thought I was before has now turned into a deep worry.

In this western expedition, the eight kings of the empire dispatched three of them, in addition to him and the king of extreme martial arts, there was also a great victory king. That prince is not as powerful as the Extreme Martial King, but his name is notoriously powerful, otherwise he would not have won a big victory, because he will win every battle. And when he arrived here, he still tasted defeat, and the army he led had penetrated deep into the inner abdomen, and was preparing to point to the imperial capital. Although the Warrior King has not expanded as much as he does, he has already taken over several cities, and is now besieging the great city of Motheol, which is located at the junction of the north and south.

He was the only one who had no ambitions, but he held back the stubborn enemy, so that the king of Pingxi, who had only laid down an ark port in three months, did not even take a step inland. Every time he thought of this, King Pingxi was extremely angry, thinking that the momentum he had finally created was like spring and winter snow, and it was clean.

The more I thought about it, the more I hated these Western barbarians.

So after resting for three days, the army moved and pressed inland behind the harbor of the ark.

To his surprise, the barbarians actually gave up a dozen or so large and small towns along the road, allowing him to occupy them without much effort. On the other hand, these towns have been evacuated. Not only that, but everything of some value has been shipped away, not to mention food and equipment. So the king of Pingxi occupied more than a dozen towns in one go, but all he got was some unbearable stones. At most, it's a bit symbolic.

But this general interest has relieved the urgency of burning eyebrows, so as to add a strong stroke to his military achievements, so that he will not lose an inch of success in March.

But then it didn't feel so good.

Pushing further, King Pingxi saw a scorched field. The farmland and forests were almost burned down, and he was dumbfounded, and at the same time grasped the barbarian's strategy.

This is a desperate plan!

In this way, during the bitter fighting of the previous three months, these Western barbarians were afraid to evacuate the inhabitants of the dozen or so towns they had occupied before, and took everything they could take with them. Then they burn the fields and destroy the forests, and the crops that cannot be taken away would rather destroy themselves than leave them for food. This is to cut off their food, and you must know that after three months, the military rations they brought have been almost used. Now that there are no crops, and the burning of forests has driven all the animals away, it is difficult to find food within a 100-mile radius. Then there is the weather, which has begun to get cooler, and a lot of wood is needed to make a fire at night, which is an essential fuel for heating and cooking.

And now, the lack of crops and timber means that soldiers have to shrink their clothes and eat.

Those damn guys! The tent sounded the angry cry of the king of Pingxi.

In the tent, more than 20 officers, large and small, all had sad faces, and the enemy had put on a desperate plan, and now they could only ask the other two princes for food. Otherwise, let alone continuing to advance, it will be difficult to maintain the use of hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is an embarrassing situation in which there is no way to advance or retreat. A general said: "Lord Wang, why don't you send a letter to the king of great victory." The king of Dasheng and the old prince often talk about wine, and I want to borrow food for this little favor, and he will not refuse.

King Pingxi also knew that this was a subordinate to give him a step, and if he chose someone between the Great Victory King and the Jiwu King to ask for help, he didn't want to look at the old prince's face that was above the bottom of the Jiwu King, so he nodded and said: This is the only way to do it.

Suddenly, one came in from outside, and he knelt on the ground and said: Oh no, the prince, the soldiers are poisoned, and we suspect that there is a problem with the water source.

What's going on? The king of Pingxi was shocked, and then he ran out of food and grass, and came to poison again, which was really a wave of late peace.

He opened the tent and walked around the barracks, and sure enough, many soldiers were poisoned. Careful investigation revealed that there was a problem with the drinking water. The barracks' water was drawn from a nearby river, and it was apparently poisoned upstream, causing the soldiers to be poisoned after drinking it. Now the poisoned soldiers are all gathered and treated by the military medical team, but fortunately it is only a condition of diarrhea, and the soldiers' lives are not affected, but it still hits morale.

The king of Pingxi returned to his tent, but he could not even breathe.

After the Ark Harbor was razed, Castle of Dawn became a frontline base against the invaders from the East, and supplies from the southern half of the country were constantly transported into the city almost every day, and then distributed to several cities on the front line through unified distribution. The three-month war in Ark Harbor can be said to be extremely hard, if it weren't for Tie Songling and Edward's continuous sending people and food, let alone three months, I am afraid that I would not be able to hold out even a month.

These three months bought valuable time for Edward's next series of layouts. At Edward's insistence, Ark Harbor abandoned the latter towns, and the neighboring towns under Edward's jurisdiction were also on the list of the Empty City Plan. More than a dozen cities and towns, hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated in an orderly manner, and at the same time, food, equipment, minerals, and other valuable things were taken away. Truly leave no grass behind, leaving only empty cities for the enemies of the eastern country.

This was followed by the destruction of fields and forests, and then poisoning the water source to deal a maximum blow to the enemy's morale and pave the way for the next battle.

Everything went according to Edward's plan.

The residents evacuated from Ark Harbor and other towns were sheltered in Dawning Castle and other cities, where they were provided with food and clothing. But even so, after all, it is still difficult for many residents to adapt to the city where they have lived for a long time. This includes Jora, for this woman who grew up in Ark Harbor, and now lies on the big bed in the VIP room of Dawning Castle, tossing and turning.

Orlando has already gone to the front line, and she is afraid that she will not be able to return today, so she looked out the window at the unfamiliar city and felt a lot of emotion.

Originally, after the battle between the prince and the prince in the future, she could settle down and be a good wife and mother. Not wanting to appear out of nowhere, the Eastern Dragon made all of this come to naught, and she had to put on armor and work with her husband to protect their territory. In the past three months, there have been familiar faces every day, from the initial sadness to the current numbness, Jora can't tell which is better.

Now that her lower abdomen is slightly bulging, Orlando does not allow her to continue fighting, so she stays in Castle of Dawn and becomes an ordinary woman who cheers for her husband who is fighting on the front line.
