El Tino calendar 568 October Free Cities Alliance Shangri-La

Gong Jin's announcement was not child's play, although the Qinglou Alliance intended to disperse the enemy's forces, weaken the enemy by cutting off supplies and clearing the wilderness, and wait for the right time to annihilate it, but the courage and breakthrough ability shown by the Second Army made the Shangri-La leadership group astonished.

For more than ten days, he captured a city almost every day. A month after entering the Free City, Gong Jin had already taken half of the land in the Free City, and had also fought two tough battles with the armies of the Dongfang Family and the Qinglou Alliance, and won an overwhelming victory.

"It's worthy of Zhou Gongjin, the strength of his generals is so strong, if we fight head-on on the battlefield, we have no chance of winning at all!"

"That's why we have to use other advantages to defeat him, since the establishment of Free City, when have we ever fought head-on with others?"

Among the major forces, the group of leaders of the Qinglou Alliance can be said to be the most accustomed to strong winds and waves, and although they don't think it's a big crisis for the invasion of the enemy, they regard it as a test for themselves and their subordinates.

All kinds of data and materials are sent back to Shangri-La quickly and intensively. The intelligence capabilities that the Qinglou Alliance has always been proud of are fully displayed at this time, and the troops of the Second Army stationed in every city are invisibly monitored every move, constantly transmitting the latest progress back for the decision-making level to decide.

"The poisoning work is going well, in addition to food and water, we also apply poison upwind. After the enemy is poisoned, he will gradually become weak and mentally tired, and when we go into battle, as long as we set off special potions, discipline them to bleed to death. ”

However, Zhou Gongjin seemed to be a little aware of it, and the spies said that he sent people to strictly guard the well, day and night, to prevent anyone from poisoning. ”

"Hey, what if he knows? Our poison is in the underground water vein, is it useful to guard the well water? Not to mention the poison in the air, this is the special guarantee of the Poison Emperor, even if Lu You is resurrected, he is helpless, what can he do?"

In the past few thousand years, the demon overlord and the human heroes have tried many times to take the free city and establish hegemony in the battle, and the tactics adopted in it are really strange and omnipresent, and these records are all collected in the archives of the Qinglou Alliance, as a reference for the next invasion by foreign enemies.

Drawing experience from history, the Qinglou Alliance has full confidence that no matter how the enemy attacks, its own side can calmly respond. The poison formula is a secret gift from the previous generation of the Poison Emperor and the principal of the Qinglou, and the poison from Yunmeng Guze has always been an unsolvable guarantee, and it is difficult to lift even a heavenly master. In order to ensure the success of the poisoning tactic, Qinglou has also changed the recipe in the past few hundred years, so that even the original creator cannot be removed.

Gong Jin seemed to be wary of this, and the Qinglou Alliance detected that he had sent an envoy to the North Gate Tianguan to invite the most prestigious goddess doctor at the moment, Jade Signature Fenghua, to come. If this matter came true, it might be able to sabotage the tactics of the Qinglou Alliance, but before they could try to stop it, the answer from the North Gate Tianguan had already arrived.

"Really, did the lady say that?"

was riding his horse to supervise the battle in front of the battle, and Gong Jin listened to the news that his subordinates had just received.

"It is the duty of a doctor to save human life, and it is incumbent upon me to do so, but my personal skills cannot and should not be an accomplice in the war, as long as the marshal can immediately withdraw his troops from the Free City, we will rendezvous in the territory of Altino. ”

When the envoy visited the refugee camp where Fenghua was located and explained his intentions, the virtuous female healer made this request without humility or arrogance, and asked the envoy to return to the free city.

"The monkey emperor of Reyns is surprisingly blessed, and it is indeed enviable to have a good woman as his companion all the time...... This point, Hua Tianxie may feel it most deeply!"

Although he had been in The Hague before, using the Qinglou Alliance and his own intelligence system, Gong Jin still knew a lot of little-known confidential information, including which woman was hidden in Hua Tianxie's heart......

"Speaking of the North Gate Tianguan, is there any progress on another thing?"

In order to contain Reins Tiren's actions and prevent him from interfering in the war situation in Free City, Hua Tianxiao has placed the army in front of the North Gate Tianguan, and he himself alternates with Dolgon, and has fought with Gengoro several times, because both sides do not intend to fight to the death, the scale of the battle is only a verbal confrontation, a short dismantling, but, judging from the signs, perhaps the enemy coach Yamamoto Fifty-six has left the North Gate Tianguan and headed south.

But that's not what Gong Jin cares about. He was more confused by the man Gengoro than the battle situation, his martial arts were strong, and he was clever and agile, without his presence, Reyns would not have developed so smoothly, so since the exile of the Forty Great Thieves, he actively investigated this person's background.

Gengoro is not from the Wind Continent, but from an overseas island country, which makes the intelligence system of the White Deer Cave itself unable to start, and can only rely on the Qinglou Alliance. However, the friendship between the principal of the Qinglou Alliance and Gengoro made the Qinglou Alliance unwilling to assist Gongjin in this investigation, but secretly obstructed it, making the investigation extremely difficult, until the Japanese land sank, and all clues came to naught.

"I'm sorry, but there's still not much progress at the moment. ”

Jiang Zhong was ashamed to repeat this answer, which had already been said hundreds of times, when the news came that the city gates had been breached, and that all resistance forces in the city had been successfully suppressed, and Gong Jin rode forward and led the troops outside the city into the city.

As expected, the granaries in the city have been destroyed. In order to prevent a possible surprise attack by Gongjin, the Qinglou Alliance had already destroyed the granary and burned all the rice and grain before the Second Army arrived, and before the siege began.

The Second Army was inevitably hit, but the people in the city who were dragged into the war were the most innocent. Before the granary was burned down, their own grain stocks were also searched and destroyed, and each of them looked panicked and helpless as they watched the piles of rice and grain turn to ashes in the flames.

"If you want to blame it, blame the hateful invaders, without whom everyone would not have to suffer. ”

The genius of the Qinglou Alliance is that it does not let officials and soldiers instigate the people like this, but allows the staff members who live among the civilians to shout as local people, manipulate the flow of people's hearts, and deepen the people's hatred of the Eltino people.

Soldiers are also human beings, and when they enter the city, they feel full of hostility, and the women cry for food with their babies in their arms, and it is impossible to say that they are not disturbed.

I have been in this environment for several days, and the irritability in my heart can be imagined, not to mention, a person's stomach is not very full, and the temper is usually not too good, and this problem finally broke out when entering the city.

"What are you arguing about? If you want food, ask your own people to ask for it, is it all our responsibility to make things like this?"

A soldier shouted angrily as he was pushed by the crowd and pushed a woman with two children in front of him. The child's cry doubled the guilt and irritability of the people around him, and the soldier's peers remained silent for a while, not interfering.

Silence and spectatorship are often the biggest reasons for violence, and when unjust behavior is not stopped, the original weakness of the mind will turn into violent behavior. After a month of war, the soldiers of the Second Army hated the enemy, and this sentiment also affected the common people to some extent, so although some people thought the situation was a little strange, they did not stand up to stop it, and watched the soldier swing his fist at the civilians.

There was a muffled sound, the fist hit, but it didn't feel right, and the neighborhood suddenly fell silent, and when the soldier confirmed the landing point of the line of sight in front of him, he flew out of the sky, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and cried and apologized to Generalissimo Zhou, who had been punched in front of him.

Military discipline is more important than everything, and if sanctions cannot be imposed according to the rules when someone disrupts order, then the existence of military discipline is meaningless, and under the instructions of Gong Jin, the soldier was sentenced to confinement.

Heavy punishment will lead to the collapse of the army's morale, not to mention, the reason why they do not block and do not shake people away is originally to let the soldiers get catharsis, there is no reason to deliberately create established facts, and then punish people, but without a certain form, it will not be able to calm the anger of the citizens, and it will only make the occupation work more difficult.

Maybe this is deliberate, but in Gong Jin's opinion, there is no better way to stabilize the emotions of the soldiers under his command. The harsh reality environment is a fact that cannot be changed, and the soldiers will be dissatisfied, and there is no way to do it, and forcibly suppressing and reprimanding at such a time will only make the army turn away from their hearts, and if they kill themselves.

Gong Jin is very clear about his status in the hearts of soldiers, and it is the most cost-effective way to exchange his personal dignity for the stability of the army's heart in this way.

"I ...... He is a very incompetent leader. ”

Perhaps many soldiers think that leaders should maintain a never-say-die image for a long time, and they must not utter words such as "defeated" and "incompetent", but Gongjin does not think that he needs to follow such a rigid precept. His image is based on deeds, not words, and at such times, it is appropriate to let his subordinates understand that he is not omnipotent, but helps to penetrate the hearts of the people.

"As a military leader, it was a remiss for me to fail to ensure the most basic supplies and keep the soldiers fighting in this situation. I have already submitted a letter to His Highness Hülegü, and when the battle is over, I will ask for punishment. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were ugly, but based on military discipline, they didn't dare to make an uproar, but when they touched each other's eyes, they were all frightened. has followed the coach for many years, how can everyone not understand that with the stubborn personality of the coach, he will never accept any consolation when he asks for punishment, and he must accept a certain degree of punishment before stopping.

"Marshal ......"

"But I also ask you not to forget that as soldiers, the purpose of existence is not to be fed, but to win battles, and that as officers, it is our duty to lead soldiers to victory and to save their lives...... The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and even in your sleep, there will be enemies attacking, and in contrast, fighting half-hungry is also one of the tests. ”

Due to the special position, Gong Jin can't say anything about "the purpose of the existence of soldiers is to protect the family and the country and protect the people", which will only make his own fighting spirit lose everything.

In these few words, he subtly hinted that, despite the current situation, he would eventually be able to lead the crowd to victory, as he had done in the past. Moreover, Gong Jin changed all the words "you" to "we", which further aroused the sense of unity among the people.

Up to this point, every officer of the Second Army, even the lowest rank, believed in one thing: he might not be able to understand Marshal Zhou's thoughts at the moment, but in the end, what he did would definitely bring benefits to himself and his family.

Since Gong Jin took over the Second Group Army, he has combined his own interests with the interests of the masses. The soldiers did not endure the harsh environment under the orders of the commander, but gritted their teeth and endured the present suffering for their own future interests, so although some people were dissatisfied, no soldier questioned Gong Jin's decision, and after Gong Jin's words were spread through the officers and all over the barracks, all the soldiers clenched their fists and raised their fighting spirit again.

There is no need for Gong Jin to boast, the morale and unity of the Second Army are simply breathtaking in the eyes of other forces. The defensive strategy adopted by the Qinglou Alliance, whether it is physical or psychological, has caused extremely severe blows to the enemy, and in the past, the enemy would have been torn apart and defeated on the battlefield.

Under such influence, he still maintained a high degree of sharpness and charged forward, except for the five-color flag of the Bai family's inhuman army, there was only the second army of Altino.

"Zhou Gongjin is really strong, if the five-color flag is refined by the Bai family for more than a thousand years, then the second group army is supported by him alone, if it is not for the trend of the times to turn to the heavenly battle, his strong significance will be weakened, and it will be three hundred...... No, two hundred years ago, he had the strength to dominate the continent as the king. ”

Speaking of this, Xiaocao also felt that what she said was funny. Originally, with the support of Lu You, Bailu Cave was the king who transcended national borders, and the reason why he did not take the initiative to organize the kingdom was just because it was more in line with the interests of Bailu Cave.

Neither side of the battle took place in Jixia, but the report in Xiaocao's hand was unfinished. The battle situation of the North Gate Tianguan and the Free City was constantly delivered, so that she, as the head of Reyns, tried to find the right way out in the layers of fog.

Gengoro must feel very tired, after all, he is now fighting the Heavenly Rank Friendship Battle in the North Gate Tianguan every day, as long as it lasts for another half a month, he is bound to become the battle maniac who has fought the most Heavenly Rank battles in history.

Dolgon's injuries were not healed, and the fact that they were only tentative and did not take action seriously, was the reason why the battle was repeated and did not make any progress.

In Gengoro's view, his cautious personality also hopes to explore the enemy's strength more before the official decisive battle, and as a result, every day he comes out in the morning to scold, say a few words, and make a few moves; he comes back to exercise after lunch; and finally fights in the evening, and after the move, they go back to eat after the move, and agree to call each other up tomorrow morning to fight.

At this point, it can be said that it is obvious. The alliance between the Shijia camp and the Second Army was stronger than expected, and Hua Tianxie deliberately delayed the progress of the march and repeatedly made difficult provocations to the center, all of which were smoke released in order to cover people's eyes and ears, in order to cover the Second Army, so that it could legitimately leave the capital and march eastward, and unknowingly bypass Wulian and attack the free city.

When Zhou Gongjin fought a bloody battle in the Free City, the Shijia Legion was at the North Gate Tianguan to contain Reins Tillen and make it impossible to send troops to intervene in the battle.

In fact, there is another big variable in this war. At first glance, the Eltino army has mastered the northwest and southeast of the Wind Continent, not only suppressing the free city, but also surrounding Reyns in the northeast, but the most powerful southwest martial arts, if they express their assistance, then they can reverse the Altino army in the northwest or southeast and turn the entire battle around.

"It is rumored from the outside world that the five heads of the Wang family have brotherhood with His Majesty, if we can take advantage of this opportunity to invite the five masters of the Wang family to send troops, then we will ......."

"There is no such thing, don't think like that. ”

Xiaocao vetoed the staff's proposal. Lancelot never confessed his relationship with Wang Wu in public, and didn't want to cause trouble to his senior brother because of himself, Xiaocao understood her husband's intentions, and on the other hand, she also thought that it was impossible to invite Wang Wu.

Since the Wang family publicly announced that they would not participate in the cause of fighting for hegemony on the mainland, they have repeatedly expressed with their actions that Wang Wu absolutely does not want to involve the people of Wulian in the scourge of war, that peace in Wulian is more important than international justice, and that as long as the major forces do not use their brains against Wulian, he will not interfere in the operation of the rest of the forces.

"Leave the matter of maintaining justice to the White Deer Cave, I'm just a half-orc reckless, I should only know how to drink and roar at home, but I don't dare to rob the Sword Saint Grandmaster's brilliance!"

Wang Wu once said with such a smile, and the meaning of his words also faintly revealed his inability to agree with the arbitrary actions of Bailudong, and his determination to avoid his own similar behavior. Xiaocao understands this, so he will not have improper expectations of the Wang Zi family, in fact, after the outbreak of the war, although Wang Wu ordered the troops to refine the eastern border, but only to help the refugees who fled into the country, and did not get involved in the war in the free city, Gong Jin would not be stupid enough to provoke a strong enemy.

"Miss, if I have no other orders, I'm leaving. ”

"There's nothing else, it's just that I still can't figure it out, attacking the Free City like this, setting up more enemies, against Altino...... No, what is the benefit to Zhou Gongjin personally?"

Feng'er smiled bitterly and shook her head, she couldn't even figure it out Xiaocao, how could she, a woman with a weak head, have an answer?

"Sister, don't you want to rest more......?

Due to the requirements of the Qinglou Alliance, Feng'er is ready to go to Free City to help. In the past, I was deeply favored by that lady, and it was a matter of course to do so, but in the past few days, Feng'er has accompanied Lancelot to practice and dismantle tricks, and she has not slept until an hour ago, and she has finally completed her success, and before she can rest, she will immediately set off for a hurry, Xiaocao sees it in her eyes, and naturally feels very worried.

"I don't care, as long as I can help Lord Lancelot, at present, I am the only one left with the heavenly combat power around him, if it is not up to me to do it, who will do it? ”

Feng'er straightened her messy hair and said softly: "It's a pity that Izumi Sakura doesn't know her whereabouts, otherwise she should be able to do it...... Or, you can share a little. ”

"If you ask Sister Izumi Sakura, I just received a very interesting piece of information!"

Due to the war, the reports transmitted by the Qinglou Alliance were a little intermittent and much more scattered than usual, but Yuxue, who entered the Free City with Nier, came with a message that the Qinglou Alliance did not mention.

Yuxue and Nier, who came into contact with the people who had fled during the war, learned from them that when the Second Army broke through the city and began to sweep the surrounding villages, two travelers appeared, one of them was armed with a spear and was a beautiful woman in a purple shirt, and the other was strange-looking, sloppy and sloppy, even more like a refugee than the locals, guiding the people to unite and quickly evacuate.

According to the geographical relationship, some fled over the mountains to Wulian, some retreated north into the hinterland of Reins, and some directly mixed into the refugee camp at Tianguan in the north gate to receive protection. In the case of completely avoiding the enemy troops, the damage to human life is minimized.

The people who were helped spread across dozens of towns and villages, and sometimes there was no time to evacuate, so these two travelers instructed the people, dismantled the doors and arrows, dug ditches to block horses, and used some defensive means to stop the attack of the Eltino army and buy time to retreat.

"I really want to thank that kind adult, we don't know anything, and if he didn't guide me, my family and I would have been killed. He said that if we go in this direction, we will encounter the protection of other countries' troops, and we will be able to get out of danger safely, which is really lucky, really lucky......"

Whether it is the Wulian Army or the Reins Army, they will provide humanitarian assistance to the refugees, as long as this is enough. Listening to the refugees talking in tears, Youxue was highly interested in this strange thing that was not mentioned in the official report, and asked carefully.

Judging from the narrative, the woman in the purple shirt is undoubtedly Izumi Sakura, but who is the man next to her? Youxue and Niel are puzzled.

"What does the Lord look like...... I can't tell, because he has long hair, a pointed nose, a curled beard, and sometimes a fishing rod, which looks very recognizable, but to say what he actually looks like...... We don't know, but he's weird, he doesn't look very old, but his hair is all white. ”

From these words, it seems that the appearance is very recognizable, but no one can say what the actual appearance is, and the group of refugees even mentioned that this adult himself not only has limited martial arts attainments, but also believes that strength is the root cause of this series of continental turmoil.

"If ordinary people do not have access to force, they will not want to do more than their duty, and force is the source of turmoil. The land is sick, and I hope to be able to heal the country...... This continent, this era, so I absolutely do not use force to restrain force. ”

This seems to be what the strange man said to the refugees before he left, and others may not have heard it yet, but Youxue was surprised to hear it.

"What kind of era is this, and the masters are bombarding each other with the power of the strong heavens? There are still people saying such crazy things? If you love peace so much, why don't you die? That world is the most peaceful.

In the concept of the Shet people, it is believed that the existence of life is a struggle, when a creature must forage for food in order to survive, destroy another life to keep its own body, and when the life form evolves into a human form, the struggle also evolves into war, so as long as there is life, there is war, and complete peace is a false dream that only the dead can achieve.

Nier next to her was silent, in the past two years, she has experienced too many wars, at the beginning of being the commander-in-chief, there is indeed a supreme satisfaction in mastering the power of life and death, but when this feeling gradually precipitates, the girl is now just tired of the series of killings, especially when she sees the faces that are helpless in the war and crying bitterly, she feels even more empty-hearted.

"That weirdo is not wrong, as long as there is strength, there is fighting, if you really feel tired, you can die, otherwise you will lose your strength, after you have no strength, you don't have to think about how to fight, just wait to be killed when people kill. ”

Due to his bad mood, the Sheter's recent speech has been difficult to hear, and Nill can somewhat understand his feelings, so she doesn't make any defenses, just sighs long.

What Yuxue said, Niel can also understand, but after having power, can only choose to fight?

No one aspires to be a bad guy in the first place, and when she realizes that she seems to be slowly becoming the source of unrest, Nielle's confusion grows deeper and deeper.

"Don't waste time, no matter how much you think about it, you can't think of anything, be honest, go home and sleep!"

"Hey, what's wrong with you these days? Can you comfort me? Every word is laughing at me, you Shet don't have any righteousness at all. ”

"Who taught you to drag me to the free city, isn't it good to let me cool off at the north gate?

"There's no way, Xiao Wu said that you are an official and corrupt, and the East Window incident has happened in the past two days, if you don't take you away by the way, you will be involved in military law. ”

Just two days before Nier's departure, the officers of the North Gate Tianguan secretly met with Gengoro and reported to him very embarrassed that the accounts in the army were wrong, and after verification, it had been confirmed that someone had embezzled public funds, and after a little investigation, it was found that it was Prime Minister Zuo Dacheng who had diverted military funds.

At that time, looking at the account book presented by the officer, Gengoro rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile: "Embezzlement is already a great crime, but what's worse is that as the prime minister of a country, the handwriting is so ugly, if this account book falls into the hands of others, it will definitely become a national shame." ”

Shaking his head, Gengoro said: "Well, you are also clever, why didn't you make a big deal about such a big thing?"

"Involving the top layer of the pyramid, this kind of thing can be big or small, and if it angers the chief, it may kill all those who hear the news. ”

"Reyns is really a strange place, obviously it is a Shinto country, and all the big and small officials are afraid of being wiped out when something happens, what kind of horror country is this......? Since you haven't mentioned it to anyone at all, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to kill people?"

The officer's face turned pale in an instant, and his expression seemed to be saying a wordless "yes", and he looked at Gengoro stupidly, his legs trembling incessantly, and he was so frightened that he forgot to run away. It's not the first time I've seen this kind of expression, and it's been a common occurrence since he joined Reyns to take charge.

"Who brings what soldiers, if the command of the entire army of the five-color banner is allocated to the prime minister, Reins is expected to die before the end of the year......"

If the Snowt was at fault, then the person who appointed him was also at fault, and Gengoro thought that how could it be that the accident had not happened until this time? If Lancelot's intention was to repay Yuxue with this, then he should not be judged for his sin at such a time.

"The officialdom is really dark, and it makes me darker and darker......"

Under Gengoro's instructions, this money was specially diverted and disposed of as a special event fund for the Prime Minister. Originally, in the administrative system, the chief and senior officials had a fund for secret activities, but Bai Wuji did not make this matter clear to Youxue at the beginning, and since he took office, he has been exhausted between various tasks, and he has no chance to spend money at all, so he will transfer this fund now.

The matter was solved like this, but if Yuxue was left in the North Gate Tianguan, there might be problems, so the task entrusted to Nier by Gengoro was to take Yuxue away to relax.

"So, you have to come out with me, otherwise, Xiao Wu said that corruption is no problem, but you have to take the responsibility of becoming the head of a country. ”

"What kind of responsibility? You want me to approve the official document?" Youxue raised her eyebrows and said: "First of all, my words are very ugly!"

"No, Xiao Wu said, soldier to soldier, general to general, divided by class, you should be responsible for single-handing Dolgon. Nier patted her friend on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't have to win, if you can draw for three days in a row, it would be ideal, the other party is just an injury, it won't be very difficult." ”

"What kind of righteous anger are you? I have been framing my friends all day long, afraid that I would not die in battle sooner, and I would have known that I would have done nothing to you in Japan, and let you two dogs and men be swallowed by the big snake. ”

There was a snowstorm that jumped like thunder, and said angrily: "Do you want me to single out Dolgon?Okay, I'll crush that muscular orangutan to death, but before that, the third shemale will be responsible for going to the demon world, taking off the head of the Great Demon God King, and everyone will die together." ”

Faced with the anger of her companion, Neil burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, please, just scold, don't jump around...... Haha, did you know that a round ball of meat is bouncing around, like a fat dachshund...... Hahaha, I'm laughing to death. ”

Niel laughed heartily, which aroused the anger of the Shet even more, and she simply rushed forward, pinched the girl's cheek, and pulled it into a grimace, and the two of them made a mess, if it weren't for the fact that their town had already fled without a trace, this must have been quite eye-catching.

Nier herself is full of joy, before this departure, Gengoro had privately commissioned, saying that Youxue has been in a bad mood recently, which makes people very worried, and asked Nier to take him out to change his mood.

"Shangri-La should be a great place to forget about your troubles, but it won't necessarily be useful this time, because I can more or less guess why someone suddenly learned to ...... corruption."

Gengoro's words were meaningful, and Niel could vaguely understand them, and now that she saw that Shet's expression had returned to anger, she felt a lot more comfortable.

"Alright, don't make a fuss, let's keep going!"

"Wait, Shangri-La is south, why are you going northeast?"

"Because Zhou Gongjin is in the northeast, didn't he just hear from the refugees? He is now heading towards Siam City. Nile smiled: "We are here to assist the Qinglou Alliance in the battle, but the method of assistance does not have to be a decisive battle in Shangri-La or Jerusalem, if we can get more information before the war, or successfully kill Zhou Gongjin, won't this war end early?"

"You woman has a sick brain, just now she was still lamenting why people can't get along peacefully, but now when you talk about killing, your eyebrows flutter, don't you think this attitude is the source of turmoil?"

"This ...... There is a gap between the ideal and the reality, and now we can only take care of the reality first, and ...... Women are the source of unrest. ”

That's true. Regarding the last obvious strong argument, Youxue was concerned about it, and said: "But it's really not convincing for you to say, at least it's more ...... like Quan Sakura or Miss Fenghua."

If you continue to talk about it, you may soon be carried to the North Gate Tianguan by a certain witch with teeth and claws, to fight the muscular orangutan man alone, and prepare to receive the pension in advance. Yuyuki stopped the topic, but remembered Gengoro's explanation beforehand.

"Didn't the third ladyboy say that Zhou Gongjin's strength is unpredictable, don't treat him as an ordinary realm character, don't act rashly?"

"So this is my decision after careful consideration, and in this regard, Xiao Wu has another trick for me, but you don't know. ”

Nier patted Youxue on the back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, follow me, I won't hurt you." ”

"The ghost only believes it, the boss said the same thing last time, and it almost made me walk into the stomach pouch of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake, when his smiling face was the same as you are now, you two brothers and sisters are not good things. ”

The Free City is now in a state of great chaos due to the war, and the crowds are mixed and wandering around the land for different purposes. However, in addition to Nier and Yuyuki, there is also a strange pair of travelers who wander the northeast of Liberty City, which is the "Salvation Duo" in the recent word of mouth among refugees.

Walking with this young man named Haijiaxuan, Izumi Sakura also felt a little funny about her current situation. It is undeniable that the reason why I came to the free city is to a certain extent to escape.

I heard that the dragons were about to cooperate with Dorgon and attack the North Gate Tianguan, if I were in Irtino or Reyns at this time, I would definitely feel very distressed when I watched that scene! In contrast, the situation in the Free City was much simpler, although it was still impossible to distinguish who was right and who was wrong, but at least it was ...... It is not so difficult to distinguish who is an enemy and who is a friend.

But......

Izumi Sakura herself felt ironic about this idea. Don't say anything about distinguishing friend from foe, even the person next to you is difficult to figure out whether he is friend or foe.

When I first came to Free City, I didn't expect it to be like this. Helping refugees is a very meaningful thing, but this way is very ...... Peculiar.

In the past half month, the two of them have always been one step ahead of the Eltieno army, reaching the target of their attack, avoiding head-on confrontation, and going to the mountain village near the city to guide the people to evacuate and flee.

In order to learn more about Haijiaxuan's skills, Izumi Sakura deliberately gave up his dominant position, and he was completely in charge. Surprisingly, this white-haired young man was quite a military strategist, and his tactics were similar to those of guerrilla warfare, but they were more flexible.

Under his orders, each clash did not exceed an hour at most, and the ranks of the common people, in the familiar roads and environments, elusively appeared, using all kinds of tactics to distract the enemy's eyes, and the regular army was in chaos, and by the time they could reorganize the pursuit, the people of the entire village and town would have fled or gone into hiding without a trace.

Even if it was difficult to avoid a few confrontations head-on, the defensive strategy taught by Hai Jiaxuan still made Izumi Sakura amazed. The villagers dug ditches and poured oil, demolished doors and barriers, burned houses and set up ambushes, used various means to slow down the enemy's offensive, led the enemy troops to the ambush in the village, attacked them, and calmly escaped while they were in chaos.

The villagers have never received military training, nor have they practiced any advanced martial arts, and the quality of the Second Army is incomparable, to command these people to the battlefield, no matter how good the generals will be so discouraged that they want to crash to death, however, Hai Jiaxuan is willing, under his guidance, the people of dozens of villages and towns were able to evacuate safely and flee to the rear.

"It's nothing, it's not that I led the old and weak soldiers to defeat the Second Army, and I couldn't even do a draw, but I just used the geography and strange strategies to slightly disrupt their pace and take the opportunity to lead people to escape, if even this is something to be proud of, we can think of our own epitaph by the way while thinking about the next tactic. ”

Hai Jiaxuan said lightly, with no joy on his face. After half a month, his left leg has regained his mobility, but his right leg is still obstructed, unable to move freely, and his posture when walking is quite weird, which often causes Izumi Sakura next to him to laugh.

"If you want to help these people, why don't you just stop the Second Army? With your ability, you should be able to keep the army out of the Free City!"

Saying these words, Izumi Sakura is really disgusted with herself, and it is really not in line with her personality to use such a superficial provocation, however, Hai Jiaxuan's temperament is somewhat similar to Gengoro, speaking elegantly, and acting like flowing water, uncertain and unpredictable.

If you act with such a person, if you respect yourself and insist on doing something, you must be the one who suffers in the end.

Fortunately, in the time I spent with Lancelot, I had learned to let go of my body and there was no psychological barrier, otherwise I would have vomited to death.

In terms of strength, not only Hai Jiaxuan, but even Quan Ying herself, with the strength of the strong heavenly position, can intercept this force. Of course, if there were other masters in the Second Army, or if the second senior brother Gong Jin had unexpected strength, the situation would be different, but at least based on the current data ratio, this is true.

"The Second Army is the strongest force in Altino, but in terms of resources for celestial warriors, it is recognized as the weakest. Zhou Gongjin didn't know this, would he really lead a bunch of soldiers to fight on horseback to attack the Free City? As long as there are one or two more Heavenly Rank martial artists in his camp and fight fiercely with you, what will be the consequences?"

Hai Jiaxuan said: "No matter who wins or loses in the final result, after the battle, there will definitely be 180,000 people next to him." If civilians are being helped because they are suffering innocently, then there is no reason to involve ordinary soldiers either. The city burning gun is a very pompous martial art, and it is difficult to suppress the lethality when I use it, so I don't take this approach. ”

"I think...... Your words are a form of sophistry. If I do it with a Heavenly Rank Martial Artist, I really can't take into account the influence on the side, but among the people I have seen, your Heavenly Heart Consciousness is precise and strange, and it should be ...... for you to do it No, you can definitely control the area of influence of your moves. ”

Hai Jiaxuan once used his sword qi to make a move, reversing the combination of the Golden Dragon Knight, showing the precision of his Heavenly Heart Consciousness control.

In the decisive battle of the heavenly martial artists of the same level, the gap between the two sides of the Tianxin consciousness is too large, which affects not only the accuracy of the power control, but also the speed of each other.

"You're right, but I still think that the aggressed side also bears the responsibility. If Zhou Gongjin used the master of heaven as the main force of the war, then there was nothing to say, but since he was just using ordinary military means to attack the city and seize the land, then the responsibility for resisting or not lies with the people of the free city themselves. ”

“...... I don't understand what you mean. ”

"If there is no Heavenly Rank Martial Artist involved, then this is just a simple war. The key to the victory or defeat of the war is to defend their land or surrender willingly on ordinary people, and this responsibility is borne by the free urbanites themselves. Zhou Gongjin fulfilled the etiquette of being a soldier, and the free urbanites should also shoulder their responsibilities and take action. ”

Rao is Izumi Sakura is smart and wise, and it really took a while to come to her senses. Hai Jiaxuan's meaning was not easy to understand, even if she understood it very clearly, it would take a while to think about it before she could confirm his thoughts.

"You're saying that free urbanites should take the initiative to resist the invading enemy, outsiders...... Especially people like us, they shouldn't get involved, right?"

"It doesn't have to be resistance, it's just a choice, resistance or surrender, a choice based on free will.

War is something that is repeated in this world, and even if the Heavenly Warrior does not exist, war will happen, so there is no need to make a fuss, see this as part of the evolution of history, and let it happen in a natural form. “

"It's strange, I didn't expect you to say that, seeing that you have been helping people evacuate and resist these days, I thought you were a staunch advocate of peace. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, I like peace, and I want to be in a peaceful era, so ......"

Originally, Hai Jiaxuan was supposed to say something, but when he said this, his face suddenly changed, and Izumi Sakura on the opposite side noticed this, but before he could take a closer look, Hai Jiaxuan closed his eyes and hid his eyes and expression.

Rao is like this, Quan Ying still carefully noticed that Hai Jiaxuan slowly moved his hand to his right leg, which was not yet able to move freely, with an inconspicuous movement, as if he was using his skills to suppress something.

(Does he have any dark wounds?)

Since driving the golden dragon on the top of the mountain that day, Hai Jiaxuan has never taken the initiative to help, and when he assisted the people to escape, he only used his personal wisdom and command, and never performed a single and a half moves, so that Quan Ying could not further confirm his cultivation depth and physical condition.

There is no visible injury to his legs, and there is no way to speculate why he is not good at walking, but now that this sign appears, it must mean something!

After a long while, Hai Jiaxuan opened his eyes and said, "There are some things that people will slowly understand, and it is useless to say more. Alright, now it's time for us to go. ”

"Is it starting a new guerrilla war? What is the destination this time?"

"It's not guerrilla, it's not helping people to escape, and to put it more correctly, you might think of it as sightseeing. ”

"Sightseeing, where do you want to go?"

"To visit an initial city, the starting point of legends, the birthplace of dreams. ”

Hai Jiaxuan stood up and said, "Let's go, if you go too late, some things may not be too late to watch, and this kind of thing is very damaging to the cultural landscape." ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to go along. Izumi Sakura smiled, "I am a married woman, and I have benefited a lot from this time and your travels, but it should end here." ”

"Why?"

"I said, I'm a married woman. ”

"I am also a man of the Tao. ”

Seeing Hai Jiaxuan say this seriously, Izumi Sakura really wanted to laugh, because no matter which way you look at it, this person has nothing to do with "Dao".

Thinking about it, I also know that the first meeting on the top of the mountain is by no means a chance encounter, it must be this person who follows him and chooses to appear there. Although the two are currently in a semi-cooperative relationship, he has always held the initiative, which is also quite unfavorable, and he has to try to reverse the situation.

"Where do you have the Tao? Even if you are really a man of the Tao, you can't do it either, my husband doesn't like other men to be with me, if he gets the news, what will happen to you, I don't know, I may be beaten myself!"

Thinking of the cohabitation life in Kyoto, Izumi Sakura's expression was serious, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.

"You are a smart person, let's explain it directly!" Hai Jiaxuan said: "I have a place to go, but at the moment it is inconvenient for me to show up, when the conflict inevitably occurs, someone needs to come forward to cover up, I think you are the most suitable person." ”

"Why me?"

"The current master of the White Deer Cave, your ability is very good, and you don't belong to the camp, so you are the most suitable person to help me with this. I've done pretty much the same, all that's left is to go to Siam, and once I arrive, the partnership can be terminated, and of course, I'll pay you what you want. ”

"What kind of reward? I don't think I'm going to be tempted by anything precious. ”

"For ...... Oh, for a married woman who has a heart, what kind of power and wealth treasures, it is really not attractive, not to mention that I have a clean breeze on my sleeves, and I can't give out any valuables, but from here, there are still a few days away, are you interested in learning it...... The trick of making the Golden Dragon 'reverse the return to the element'?"

The Second Army's offensive was extremely fast, which was naturally not good news for the people of the Free City, but in some ways it was good news.

The Qinglou Alliance is not a fuel-efficient lamp, using its latent network of contacts to constantly launch riots in cities that have been occupied by the Eltino army, or formal guerrillas, or provoke popular riots, one after another, so that the Eltino army is overwhelmed.

No matter how strong the Second Army was, as the area occupied expanded and their manpower was gradually consumed, the sharpness of the offensive diminished dramatically, and the closer it got to the enemy's center of influence, the stronger the counterattack encountered, and the more casualties grew.

For the unfavorable news of the war, the connection came, and the Qinglou Alliance and the Oriental Family issued a declaration that in order to resist the invaders, the two families formed an alliance, responded to each other, and worked together to resist the enemy.

The two most powerful forces in the Free City joined forces, both in morale and strength, and with the help of the masters, intelligence, and force of the two organizations, they fought several tough battles with the Second Army, and stopped the offensive of the Second Army.

The front was blocked, and the morale that had been frantically stagnate suddenly, and at this time, the weakness that had been covered up because of the smooth military situation was completely exposed.

It didn't take long for the shortcomings of the Eltino army's lack of food, fluctuating military morale, and fatigue of men and horses spread throughout the free city, and even ordinary people felt that the Eltino soldiers on the street were no longer so arrogant when they walked, and there was a little more uncertainty and panic in their eyes.

At this time, it was reported that the supply line of the Eltino army was cut off, and the Eastern Family and the Qinglou Alliance sent experts to organize death squads to destroy Altino's grain transportation team.

This news was naturally a great misfortune for the Eltino army, and even Gongjin had to give an order for the Eltino army to stand still, temporarily stick to the various occupied cities, wait for supplies to be supplied, and then attack.

The Second Army ceased fighting, and the troops of the Dongfang Family and the Qinglou Alliance did not dare to rush to attack, and the stalemate between the two sides was maintained for the time being. In this situation, it is natural that the two sides are scouting and riding in all directions, probing each other, and the atmosphere is relaxed outside and inside, especially where Gongjin is located, the guard is even more strict, and the generals and officers in the army are all worried, and they may not be able to send assassins to the enemy, with the secret means of the Qinglou Alliance, if they stab Generalissimo Zhou to death unknowingly and unknowingly, the Second Group Army will all die in a foreign land.

However, no matter how vigilant they were, there were still omissions, and the day after Gongjin broke through and entered Siam City, a pair of strange travelers also infiltrated the city.

"The security here is tighter than before, and the first time I came in with the boss, it didn't seem so bad?"

"Of course, the children of the Dongfang family are all a group of rice buckets, and it is Zhou Gongjin who takes care of it, so it is not surprising that there is a different atmosphere. ”

Niel looked around and muttered, "It really looks a little different, it looks much brighter now than the last time I came in." ”

"Nonsense, the last time you came was in the middle of the night, and you brought people in the dark to rob them, of course it would be dark. ”

It has been several years since the Siam incident, and the old place has been revisited, Youxue and Nier have a lot of emotion, and they still remember that at that time, they participated in the competition of the Oriental family to recruit relatives, and the heroes from all over the world gathered here, each showing their own tricks, and in the end, they had their own gains. Lancelot rose to fame and began his heroic deeds, while Nell became acquainted with Hülegü Medici, who laid the foundation for the three later wars of Madstone.

If Siam City is a starting point, neither of them thinks that they are at the end of the road, but they are only halfway to the end, and what will be the end? But compared to that time, the brothers of the forty thieves are no longer there, and in retrospect, it is indeed very sad.

But you can't stand here all the time. Both of them had changed into cloaks, which did not look so conspicuous, but if they kept standing in the middle of the road and did not leave, they would immediately attract interrogation from the patrolling soldiers, and they would have to find a place to stay.

"I want to confirm again, the reason why you came here is not to assassinate Zhou Gongjin, the iron-masked lady, right?"

"Yes, as long as we can take out that shemale with one blow, the Eltino Army will ...... Hey, where do you want to run away?"

Grabbing Youxue by the collar, Nill laughed in a low voice, "You don't have confidence in me, even you know that the iron-masked shemale is not so simple, am I stupid enough to rush forward? ”

"Luckily...... People say that women with big breasts are stupid, and I'm worried that your breasts are obviously not big, why are you stupid like this?"

Obviously, when it came to Nier's least favorite words, Yuxue was hit hard, and if it weren't for the timely reining of his strength, he might have been hit by this strange punch and his head shrunk into his neck.

"It's going to hurt! If you're not here to assassinate, what are you here for? Do you think you can spy on information that even the Qinglou Alliance can't find?"

"I don't dare to overestimate myself so much, but I can't detect information, there is still something else to see!" Nier smiled: "I heard that the iron-masked ladyboy is very handsome, but half of his face is covered by a mask, no one knows what happened to the other half of his face, and even Qinglou can't find out, don't you want to know what his face looks like under the mask?"

"Flowers, nymphomaniac, you super nymphomaniac, don't cherish life and don't involve me!"

This reason for infiltrating to Youxue is undoubtedly more absurd than assassination, but before he can try to defect before the battle, he has been caught by Nier, and the two tugged and tugged, and suddenly a few small whispers came into Nier's ears.

It was the people of Siam City who spoke, and a group of people deliberately lowered their voices because they did not dare to proclaim it loudly, talking about the strange things they had heard in the past two days.

The first to witness the strange thing were several local merchants who had been ordered to go to the barracks to buy and sell grain, and after the Eltino army entered the city, under the strict orders of Gongjin, they did not invade the houses to plunder the grain, but bought it from the local rice merchants.

During the negotiations, a soldier who was serving beside him suddenly changed his complexion, lying on the ground unconscious, his muscles twitching, and his mouth foaming at the mouth. The strange situation caused an uproar in the room, and at the officer's instructions, the soldier was quickly carried out, and although the officers deliberately pretended to be fine, the merchants still felt that something was wrong.

On the way back, some subtle signs were discovered under the deliberate search of everyone, and after speculation, the fact that some nameless evil disease was spreading in the Second Army gradually leaked from the original secret, and through the whispers of one by one, it is now known to Niel.

"Could it be some new germ? There seemed to be a strange lung disease a while ago, and it was a big fuss, so this time it should be ......?"

"It's so suspicious that there will be a sudden epidemic of infectious diseases at such a time, no matter how you look at it, I think there is a problem, huh...... It may be that the Qinglou Alliance is in action behind it!"

Nier expected the fact, since the Eltino army entered the free city, the Qinglou Alliance has used a variety of channels to cast compound poisons and germs, after such a long time, the effect has finally appeared, and people in the second army in various cities have fallen ill.

"No matter how strong the army is, if all of them are poisoned and fall, it will be impossible to go into battle, this hand of the Qinglou Alliance is really powerful. ”

Niel wondered if she should sneak in and take a look to see if it was really the case, or if it was just a rumor. Maybe this is just Zhou Gongjin's suspicions, leading people to be fooled, and spreading the news.

"It's too suspicious, I can't rest assured if I don't take a look. ”

"Wait, even if you're going to sneak away, where are you going to sneak away?"

"There are sick people, and there must be guards, plus medical staff, there should be a lot of people there. Niel said, "The final conclusion is, where there are many people, go over there!"

"Hey, hey, wait, don't grab me again...... Hey, even if you're on a mission, at least have a meal and go! I don't want to be a starving ghost......"

When Niel walked away with Youxue, there were people watching all this.

Before Nier came here, she had a certain understanding of the important figures of the Second Army, Zhou Gongjin, Jiang Zhong, Hao Kelian, and even the images of more than a dozen important officers, she was already familiar with them, so after entering Siam City, she had been very careful to see if there were any important people on the enemy side.

From the point of view of the information, there is only Hao Kelian on Zhou Gongjin's side, so as long as you watch out for Zhou Gongjin and Hao Kelian, it should be enough, however, Nier didn't know that there were other tricky characters in the Second Army, so she didn't notice that in a teahouse on the right rear, there was a man watching her back.

"That girl, is General Yamamoto Fifty-six of Reyns?"

"Yes, Lord Zhu Yan, according to the information, she is the royal sister of the current King Reins. Are you going to stop her?"

"No, it's rare for a distinguished guest from Reyns to come from a long distance, and it's a pity to give an eviction order so soon, so you let the brothers turn on the instruments and keep a close eye on all her whereabouts. ”

After giving an order like this, Zhu Yan whispered a word that could not be ignored.

"Among the heavenly martial artists, they can lock their souls and chase the enemy with their heavenly heart consciousness, and they can also use their own heavenly heart to disturb the search and hide without a trace, but if the instrument is used to lock and track from a height of ten thousand feet, I want to see where she can hide?"
