Chapter 384: Unsettling Silence

The next day, under the guidance of the Black Armor Man, Hu Kai's army did not march towards the Black Death City, but took a shortcut and went straight to Jiang Shengguo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Between the territory of the Black Death City and Jiang Shengguo, there is also a desert with no grass and extremely hot heat, and the feet are all quicksand, and it is very difficult to walk.

When such a large army walks, the speed of marching will naturally be greatly reduced. Fortunately, the soldiers of these Great Rock Provinces had long been accustomed to the desert climate, and they hurried to hurry, and finally drove out of the desert in the evening of the next day, and came to a green area with water and grass.

Everyone knows that further west from here, it is all Jiang Shengguo's territory! Next, the encounter with the Berserk Fishman will be a matter of time.

Hu Kai didn't let the soldiers camp, just let everyone rest for a while, and began to take advantage of the night to continue to advance.

This time, after only a few hours of walking forward, a scout came to report that there was a Jiang Shengguo ranch in front of him, and judging by the number of tents, there should be two or three hundred fish-men there.

Hu Kai hurriedly discussed with the generals and decided to send Katyusha to lead a thousand elite soldiers to rob the camp and try it out. What's more, Hu Kai wanted to find some information about Jiang Shengguo from here.

Katyusha led the troops to set off, and in less than half an hour, a battle report came from the front, saying that Katyusha's army had occupied the pasture, and the battle was fought with ease, almost bloodless.

Hu Kai was overjoyed and hurriedly led the army into the pasture.

Unexpectedly, the always violent fish-men are not much like the nomads in the desert, where a large number of cattle, sheep and camels are domesticated, and their tents are basically the same as those in other desert countries.

When Hu Kai saw Katyusha, more than a hundred fish-man corpses had already been gathered in the clearing. Due to the suddenness of the arrival of the army, these fishmen were defenseless and had been completely wiped out.

Katyusha said that these fishmen should be ordinary herdsmen, and their combat effectiveness is too far from that of the regular army. During the battle, she made sure that not a single one was missed, and she also captured four or five prisoners.

Hu Kai nodded yes, and asked Katyusha to hurry up and interrogate the captives to see if she could get more information. After Katyusha left, Hu Kai took a closer look at the corpses of the fishmen, and sure enough, there was not a single baby or child in these corpses!

If this is a ranch where fish people live, it shouldn't be childless! This phenomenon undoubtedly shows that the fish people are suffering from the same fertility crisis as Oiwakuni.

It is precisely because they cannot reproduce offspring that they will take the risk of attacking Penghai Kingdom.

More than ten minutes later, a female knight came to Hu Kai with a rag and reported: "Lord Marshal, although the captives cannot communicate, they have drawn such a sketch for us, please take a look." ”

Hu Kai took the rag and saw that there was a most primitive and rough map drawn on it. If this map depicts the entire country of Jiang Sheng, then it can be clearly seen from the map the distribution of all the large cities in their country.

Similar to Penghai Kingdom, there are seven or eight big cities, Hu Kai only glanced at it, and then locked his attention on one of the largest cities in the southwest.

That big city was close to the sea, three to four times larger than other cities, and it was obviously the capital of Jiang Shengguo!

Seeing this situation, Hu Kai's eyes couldn't help but light up. If Penghai Kingdom and Dayan Kingdom both built docks close to the national capital, it means that Jiang Shengguo's dock should also be near their national capital!

In this way, they didn't need to spend too long searching all the coasts of Jiang Shengguo, they only needed to look near the royal city.

At this time, Katyusha came to Hu Kai from the place where the prisoners were interrogated, and said excitedly: "Marshal Hu, although I can't understand what the fishmen said, judging from their expressions and reactions, they are very surprised and surprised by our arrival.

"And I still have a feeling," Katyusha whispered, leaning her lips close to Hu's ear, "if the fish people can't have children, it means that their army is also being greatly reduced." So, I think it's time for their national power to be empty!

"Lord Marshal, let's bypass other cities and directly attack the national capital of Jiang Shengguo, as long as the national capital can be taken, the fish people will completely collapse, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the entire pattern on the sand of the Angry Sea will change!"

"Hehehe!"

Hu Kai smiled and nodded, Katyusha's words were exactly what he wanted, now that the time away from the cruise ship is getting shorter and shorter, he doesn't want to waste time elsewhere, it is better to go straight to the capital of Jiang Shengguo, and come to Huanglong, once and for all!

Thinking of this, Hu Kai once again ordered the army to send troops overnight and went directly to Jiang Shengguo's capital.

Further on, Jiang Shengguo's topography has finally changed. Unexpectedly, Jiang Shengguo's water source was very sufficient, and after arriving here from the source of the river that originated in the Black Death City, it did not form a large river with a large amount of water, but formed a vast wetland.

It is overgrown with thorns, ponds, and in some places even swamps.

Seeing this situation, Hu Kai gradually understood a problem. The vastness of the water area undoubtedly made the fish people in Jiang Shengguo more closely in contact with the water source, and the toxins carried in the water source also affected them more seriously, which made their bodies grow scales and gradually became what they are today.

However, in this way, the march of the army was severely tested. Don't look at the women of Big Rock Country, they are more familiar with the desert, but they have no experience in this kind of wet and swampy place.

The army marched at an unusually slow pace. The most influential were cavalry and vehicle baggage. In the swamps, it is even more difficult for horses and vehicles to move forward, and they will fall into the mud at every turn, and it is difficult to pull them out.

In the swamps, the army also encountered a number of local fish-man residents, although these inhabitants were not strong in combat and did not pose a threat to the army. However, their escape skills are exceptional, and sometimes they disappear when they burrow into a pond, and they cannot be caught at all.

Hu Kai was worried that after these fishmen escaped, they would report the news, so that when they attacked the royal city, the other party would definitely be prepared.

Worry is worry, but you have to move forward.

In this way, the army struggled in the swamp for more than two days, and finally came to a fertile plain with a vast area.

Perhaps because of the news in advance, many nearby towns and camps have disappeared from the fish-men, and many empty cities have appeared.

At this moment, the army was exhausted from the overnight journey, and Hu Kai could only let the soldiers recuperate and adjust in a certain town.

At that time, Hu Kai's mood was very nervous. He felt that their whereabouts had been exposed, and that they were now vulnerable to enemy attacks. So, he made a careful deployment around the camp, so that if there was an enemy attack, they would be able to respond in time.

However, the army had been recuperating here for a whole day, and there was no movement around them. The fish people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, not to mention attacking them, but they didn't even see a single figure.

However, the more this is the case, the more bottomless Hu Kai's heart becomes. He always felt that such silence was not a good thing, could it be that the fishmen were thinking about something bigger--conspiracy? (To be continued.) )
