Four countries in the north and seven countries in the south. In the land where Zhou Shu and the sick princess stayed, there were eleven powerful countries that had been fighting each other for nearly ten years to expand their power, which could be regarded as a period of war.

As the son of a merchant, Stoker has developed some feelings for the first princess of the southern country of Baoke under the influence of several accidents and accidents.

Princess Baoke Xiang is a powerful princess who has ruled for many years instead of her parents and two kings, and has just turned 20 years old today.

Stoke was good at horseback riding, good at business, and good at fighting people. He was a merchant family, but all the slaves he bought and sold were combat slaves, most of whom were sent to the tournament to fight with other slaves for fun, and some slaves who were enemy generals would be sold to some military academies or aristocratic homes as teachers or guards.

Since childhood, Stoke has learned a lot from these people. After getting to know Princess Baoke, the princess was very tricky and insisted on relying on her identity as a princess of a large country with a population of 13 million, and asked God for a first-level power.

Stoke has always considered himself a strong believer in the gods of the South, and like most people in the South, he has no doubts about his gods. But it is very good, God does not seem to like him very much, and only lends him the lowest level of power, the third level, only one level higher than the ambiguous 'doubters'.

Still, his talent is not bad. Although the power level is terrible, it can stack its power multiple times. It's not common for people across the country to be able to stack the strength of borrowed abilities eight times like him.

The first-class power that Princess Bowk asked the gods to come was not the highest level, and there were two levels above it, namely 'Followers of the Gods' and 'Servants of the Gods'.

After the year, the entire continent will launch a national-level military exercise-type competition. The domestic selection competition of its event is called 'First Soldier War'. The winning team can elect two people to come out and get the title and ability of 'Follower'. And the winner of the 'hegemonic war' between countries and nations can choose any god to serve them.

This kind of competition is held every ten years, but it is often interrupted, and the highest interruption record is a full 300 years. It is a very risky thing for the state to agree to convene a hegemonic military war. In the event that one's own country loses, it is equivalent to giving the enemy country two supreme men, and most monarchs of most countries will not make such a big gamble.

Stoke originally wanted to use his first-class strength and family money to recruit partners and warriors to participate in the First Army War of the Treasure Country. However, unfortunately, the princess told him that the winning team of her first army had been decided, that is, the royal guard army she was going to lead, and it would be renamed the princess war group immediately after participating in the competition.

The news made Stoker's whole person gloomy for a while. He was originally a person who was not very good at taking blows, and was often depressed.

As the son of a merchant, there is no way he has any marriage with Princess Bouc, the only royal blood in the kingdom. At present, the gods arranged this ambiguous relationship between the two is already torturous enough, he wants to marry the princess, and finally takes a step forward, but finds that he is getting farther and farther away from her.

When it comes to marriage, Princess Hawk is more concerned than Stoker.

"In the kingdom, the task that can be used for meritorious service is not only the first battle!"

The princess said so. Tiyì Stoke goes in search of the Dream Oasis and snatches the Staff of the Oasis from the guardian monsters.

In recent years. Wars between countries are becoming more and more frequent, national strength is consumed, and many countries are dying. At this time, a catastrophe suddenly appeared on the mainland. I don't know why, since five years ago, all the grass that broke through the soil on the whole continent turned yellow. At least there is a lot of yellow mixed in with the leaves, as if sick. Plants with a pure green color have completely disappeared.

Accounts of this kind of thing are not uncommon, and ancient books attribute this phenomenon to the fact that humans killed too much, disappointed the gods, and sent divine punishment. It is precisely because of this punishment relationship. Only then would the eleven nations choose to hold a long-lost hegemonic military war, a method with fewer dead people, to fight for victory and defeat instead of ordinary marching wars.

Having said that, there is actually a way to crack this kind of thing.

According to the book, whenever this kind of grass and trees turn yellow, a kind of half-human white sheep monster called the Oasis Son will appear, and he will live in the dream oasis. Just snatch the protected Oasis Staff from her hand and restore the world to green.

Princess Bao Ke had a number of highly credible texts on hand, claiming that the Dream Oasis had been witnessed, and that her enlightenment teacher, a respected scholar, had seen it with his own eyes.

Therefore, she and Stoker found some guards before the First War, and began to search for dream oases all over the world. As long as the plants in their own country can be restored to green, this credit and the princess's love can definitely fulfill the two of them.

In pursuit of the dream oasis, Stoke and his princess have crossed the border.

As the princess of Baoke Kingdom, which is relatively powerful in the Southern Seven Kingdoms, her team can travel around the Southern Seven Kingdoms unimpeded. However, if you dare to cross the border, then your life can only be at the mercy of heaven.

Her Royal Highness the Princess's current borrowing level is only second-class, which is the level possessed by most strongman masters. The princess's talent is better than Stoker's, and she can borrow her power ten times every time the moon waxes and wanes, so her father is willing to let her cheat in the Song War and mix in the name of a follower.

At this moment, the princess is almost ineffective if she encounters the enemy's border rangers. Although she is not weak, in the face of real border soldiers, the safety of her life cannot be guaranteed.

In a mountain forest ten miles across the border, Stoke said goodbye to his princess and chose to try his luck on the road alone.

He didn't want to give up this only chance to make the marriage bear fruit, so he could only work hard. The princess was very fond of her man's fighting spirit, and was moved and fascinated by it, so she agreed to his plan, which sounded particularly dangerous.

As Stoke crossed the border with the northern nations, another army swaggered in from different directions at almost the same time.

It was a combat force of a group of bearded men, and if Stoke touched them, he would definitely fall on his back with a scream. Because the characteristics of these people are too obvious, hordes of warriors. All beards are grown, and all beards are carefully maintained, using the best and most expensive beard wax.

If Princess Baoke ran into them, she might cover her head and run away without saying a word. For the female royal family of any country, these people are absolutely untouchable. These people are a mercenary group that travels through various countries, and haunts various battlefields. There are countless achievements. If they were to fight for their country, and the intensity of the battle was high enough, they would ask for a royal woman as payment.

For some royal families who are in an urgent situation, they can only give their daughters or fake princesses in the name of marrying them in exchange for a victory in a battle. Although Princess Baoke, the only daughter, could never become the royal collection in the hands of these people, it was very embarrassing for the princess to meet them.

The princess who is looked up to in the eyes of outsiders is nothing more than a trophy to them. Although almost all of the goods they have on hand are fakes and rags, they don't seem to care about quality or authenticity, and seem to only want to have the name of the 'Taint' to complement the name of their fighting regiment, the Trojan Horse.

The direction of Stoker's advance intersected with the march route of the Trojan Horse Regiment. The two sides did not know that there was a deposit of the other. They walked leisurely through the country, and did not send out any expeditionary horses. Now it's the same when it comes to the enemy's sphere of influence, and I don't pay much attention to pathfinding.

A day later, Stoker, who had just entered the dead woods, spotted them. This group of people is too easy to identify, to say that there are such things as beards all over the place, but there are also some bandits or parallel mercenary groups who want to borrow the notoriety of the king and the Trojan horse, and all of them have beards. However, the genuine brand can use wax to shape the beard into a variety of aesthetic shapes, rather than tangling the coarse hairs together.

As a child of a merchant family, Stoke has seen the world. Strictly speaking, his family's business has also been subjected to a battle slave who was born as a royal daughter and a Trojan horse. Although it is only the army depositing zài their spoils there. However, Stoke was fortunate enough to have a little bit of a fight with him.

The man's beard had been shaved off by the angry soldiers, and he was very weak. Despite this, he easily put down the young master of the merchant family without borrowing strength, and then did not hesitate to praise Stoker for his funny appearance when he fell.

The slave had been in storage at the Stoke house for a week, and for the first time the young master was interested in the 'women of the royal family'. It's because of that slave. Therefore, he looked at Princess Treasure a few more times when she traveled later, and squeezed into the front row a little harder, so that he could recognize him in disguise when the princess of Treasure was at home.

Strictly speaking, it was because of the slave's boasting about the experience of defiling the bodies of royal women that Stoke met Princess Bouck.

The Trojan Horse Combat Group didn't notice the sneaky young people around them. Instead, he saw an obviously artificially constructed stone wall in the distance. They had reached the maze that Zhou Shu had built.

－－－

Master Zhou slept twice in the lamb's 'sheepfold', and then slept until the next morning.

Mortiaz woke up early in the morning and was frightened by two rocks poking at the edge of his yard. These two are quite small, and the smaller stones were deliberately made in order to better block the entrance to the core of the maze and prevent people from entering.

In addition to the stones, there were five Golden Light Martial Gods in the courtyard, who also lost their swords, and one of them had a heavy machine gun hanging from his body that had never been maintained. That is, they have no expression on their faces, otherwise they must be quite unhappy.

Zhou Shu originally didn't plan to let the Golden Light Martial God do this job, but he couldn't conjure a new human to be a machine gunner, so it was easy for the gun to be taken away. If it is a golden light martial god, even if the gun is about to be snatched, you can crush the gun before the treasure is lost. And Mortiaz should be more able to accept things like the Stone Man and the Golden Light Martial God, which are very fantastic at first glance, human beings are afraid that they can't accept it, and they will invite human summons to eat grass, and Zhou Shu does not plan to abuse his summons.

When the sick princess saw that Motiaz was awake, she hurriedly brought the breakfast that Zhou Shu gave her to the sheep, and ate there with her mouth open. She also had no choice, she had to tell the sheep that she was full.

The supplies brought by Master Zhou from the First World, especially the food, have begun to bottom out, and the last time he went home, he was a little busy and forgot to replenish the armaments, and now the sick princess eats a canned herring with tomato sauce and biscuits. Cookie scraps also stained the floor of the lamb's house.

Mortyaz looked at the stone man trembling vigorously, and walked helplessly to Zhou Shu, who was squatting in a box to check the bullet model, and stretched out his small hand to tug at his clothes.

"Yo, good morning. I have some food here, do you want to eat it?" Master Zhou took out a canned orange in his hand. He had plenty of canned food.

Motiaz had a very sincere desire for protection, but that was not the kind of protection she wanted. In her opinion, it should be the humans sent by the two northern gods to protect herself, not these walls and monsters that suddenly appeared.

"I ...... Felt...... Something is not good...... "The little lamb is poor in words, and he stretches out his human finger and points around the house," ...... Like a cage. ”

"Uh......" Zhou Shu really ignored this problem, and his own approach was really a bit like building a zoo-like home for this little guy. "Well, if you don't like it, I'll tear it down. But not now, the people who want to arrest you are already nearby. ”

The most important ability of the Book of Summons has always been this fairly easy to use locking system. Master Zhou found the enemies that had entered his defense radius, a bunch of strange beards, and the young man who had the same idea as him and volunteered to marry the princess.

Although he was serious about causing trouble for this young man and helping to protect Motiaz, he didn't hate this guy, but it was a little unbalanced. Compared with him, the difficulty of this young man is really lower, and catching a sheep can fool a princess into the bed. He also wanted to add some legend to this guy's history of struggle, and he had to fight dozens of mountain giants anyway.

In terms of the combat power of these stones, Zhou Shu analyzed it a little, if he didn't let him use Dinglan, he felt that he could deal with about three at the same time, and if he had more, he wouldn't be able to. This is still based on the fact that his body's ability to withstand blunt instruments is relatively OK. As for what the like-minded kid could handle, he was interested in seeing it up close, but unfortunately he ran out of popcorn. (To be continued......)
