Chapter 12 Life is a Cup
In the year 6452 of the Aden joint calendar, in April, winter went to spring. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This year, Qin Lan was finally fourteen years old.
Today's Qin Mansion is extraordinarily lively, with colorful lights, busy traffic, congratulations and exclamations everywhere, and bursts of laughter. The reason is very simple, today is Qin Lan's birthday.
The Qin Mansion, which has been simply renovated since the beginning of spring, has already taken on a new look, and has recently bought the courtyards on both sides of the neighborhood, so it is now bigger...... It's not big, it's not good, there are too many people who come to live every day, and it's fixed, so you can't always let people live in the guest room.
Fu Yilin is a ...... Although Qin Buqun was actually a little unhappy that his son suddenly found a woman ten years older than him, how to say it, Fu Yilin is also at the head of youth now, and she is not an ordinary person, she is the daughter of Fu Zhiyi, the leader of the Raglan Legion, one of the four major legions of the empire. Fu Zhiyi, who holds the military power of one side, doesn't know where he is going compared to Qin Buqun, so he can only watch this matter with his eyes blank and dare not express any opinions, Fu Zhiyi is thankful that he doesn't come to him for trouble.
Fortunately, with the words of Her Majesty the Empress Yun Yuqi, coupled with the matchmaking of the Faithful King, although Fu Zhiyi was also very dissatisfied with his daughter finding a man ten years younger, but in the face of his daughter who had become a fait accompli, he finally gave in, at least now it doesn't seem to be too unhappy, as far as he is now standing next to the Empress and talking to Qin Buqun, it looks quite like a pair of relatively harmonious in-laws...... In fact, many people don't know that the dowry sent to him by Qin Buqun was finally smashed to the ground by the commander of Fu Da's army.
Anyway, when he returned to the imperial capital and saw Qin Lan for the first time, Fu Zhiyi originally planned to give Qin Lan a dismount, but Qin Lan didn't like him at all...... hugged his fox concubine openly and walked away, but Fu Zhiyi was half angry at that time.
Fox girl concubine?
Well, that's right, in August last year, after the Orc Kingdom of Pagolio City reached an agreement with the Beastmaster, Qin Lan was officially appointed by Empress Yun Yuqi as a special envoy for alien affairs...... Of course, this name was only given on a temporary basis, and it was just a perfunctory Beastmaster at the time. But the orcs couldn't think of this, they obviously took it seriously, and then they also decided to set up such a position, which was specifically responsible for communicating with Xinglan and liaising with the country, because it was obviously impossible for Qin Lan to live in Orc City...... After some consideration, the Beastmaster sent the granddaughter of the patriarch of his subordinate race, the fox man, who was the daughter of the fox man who was in charge of the negotiation before.
Elle Quincy Kenelm Bonbury is the name of this fox man, and she is eighteen years old and she is very flamboyant...... Among the nearly 100 races of orcs, only the fox man is the closest to the appearance and appearance of humans, except for a fox tail, there is a pair of pointed ears on the top of the head, and the other positions are roughly the same as humans, which is why the beastmaster sent the fox man as an envoy, of course, the fox man is not inferior to the wisdom of humans is the most fundamental reason.
And the reason why the fox man who sent the female xing ...... It's very simple, Qin Lan, the envoy on Xinglan's side, is a boy, of course, he has to use a cute girl to balance him
The Beastmaster had a good idea, but he obviously underestimated Qin Lan too much, although he was still young, but the beauty sent to his mouth, how could Qin Lan not eat it?
Poor Ellie had already fallen before she had even followed Qin Lan back to the Xinglan Imperial Capital......
This is also the reason why Qin Buqun is unhappy, is there a mistake? It's not enough for you to eat the leopard's guts and get the daughter of a legion commander, even the orcs are ...... Well, in fact, he saw the gorgeous Elle and ate it. It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful orc fox girl when I'm so old, but I drill into your kid's room every night, aren't you unfilial son here to be angry with me?
In addition to the two of them, not to mention Yun Xiangyi, the precious little county lord of the Faithful King, Qin Buqun didn't even know about it all along, and at Qin Lan's birthday banquet, the Empress Yun Yuqi personally drove with the Faithful King to cheer up, which made Qin Buqun simply flattered, and even more panicked and didn't know what happened...... Her Majesty the Empress is here, who dares not to come?
So, His Majesty Yun Yuqi looked at the crowd that was already standing in the courtyard, took Qin Lan's hand, and personally announced to everyone that the faithful king Yun Tianqi had decided to marry the little county lord Yun Xiangyi to the young Junjie Qin Lan.
Qin Buqun stood next to him and was directly dumbfounded, he knew that his son was very popular, but he didn't expect the fire to be like this, but the matter was not over yet...... The third princess, Yun Xianglan, was originally standing with Yun Xiangyi, but she suddenly pursed her lips and walked up and pulled her mother's dress, "I also want to marry Brother Lan." ”
“......”
“......”
As for Tao Ningning, that is something that has been determined a long time ago, and you can imagine Qin Buqun's face at this moment. Of course, the happiest one is Zha Hongying, she never thought that her son would have such a day, God testifies, when she gave birth to her son, the biggest expectation was that Qin Lan could take over his position as Qin Buqun.
Fu Yilin naturally didn't return to the Raglan Legion, so she didn't want to leave the imperial capital...... Therefore, Her Majesty Empress Yun Yuqi simply let her take over the Praetorian Guard, anyway, her strength has already surpassed that of the former Praetorian Guard commander Lu Qiuyi.
In other words, when she saw another self for the first time in that mysterious space, Fu Yilin was really shocked at that moment, and now she finally understood what Qin Lan meant by what she meant by being his woman in the first place, and then she also knew the strength of her other self, and even more knew some things born in another world...... It turned out that he had so many stories with Qin Lan
If there was some unwillingness before, thinking that she was deceived by Qin Lan, since that time, she has 100% love and recognition for Qin Lan, and under the training of the other self, her stagnant fighting spirit finally began to move forward again...... Of course, the biggest reason is because after cultivating the Five Fowl Opera, she is changing her root bones.
And the reason why Yun Xianglan took the initiative to marry Qin Lan, does she need to explain? In the race competition, she has already seen another self...... Although the unforgettable and remorseful intertwined in the past, the twenty-year-old Yun Xianglan did not tell her true self, who is only thirteen years old now, but every time she appeared, she would tell herself, love Lan well, because you will be his favorite wife in the future.
......
In the race competition, because of the existence of the orc prince Boone, the orc team finally won the championship, but no one can forget that very special team in this year's competition. Especially the earth-shattering tenth-order water magic, the wall of water erected at that time, could be seen in the entire city of Paglio, but this magic was only from the hand of a thirteen-year-old child
It's definitely a big deal.
At least, when Qin Lan and the others returned to the Xinglan Imperial Capital, the countries of the Human Alliance, which had never had envoys stationed in the Xinglan Empire, had already sent their own envoys and were looking for embassies to build embassies...... Unlike the lonely Xinglan, most of the information within the Human Alliance is exchanged, and the performance of the Xinglan Empire in the race competition is really enough to shock the human race.
A group of children with an average age of only fourteen years old swept the powerful races of orcs and elves in the race competition, and they also defeated the team of the Holy Light Realm, and they only sent two people to the field......
Twelve or thirteen-year-old tenth-order magician, well, tell you, do you believe it?
But that tsunami that covered the sky and the sun, and finally turned into nothingness silently, this kind of precise control over magic, where can a novice magician achieve? Two months later, all the information of Qin Lan and the others was placed on the desk of King Aden, he looked at it over and over again, but what he saw was that this group of children had not performed at all more than ten years ago, and the Xinglan Empire itself did not have an eighth-order magician, so the appearance of these young powerhouses was too suspicious.
Unlike the human kingdom, which has all kinds of suspicions, Qin Lan and the others are much more low-key...... Because the home is not safe and easy to be seen through, and Qin Lan also has to teach the eldest prince Yun Longze, so Qin Lan simply moved to the palace with someone, which is not something that those spies from other countries outside can easily enter.
At the same time, the Lingchuan Territory in the northwest of the empire has been officially opened to the Orcs, although the Storm Flame Legion still has a part of the town here, but the Storm Flame Fortress is also open to the Orc Army, and the Orc Kingdom has also sent a part of the army to settle in, and they will work with the Storm Flame Legion to maintain the security of the Lingchuan Territory and the safety of the Orcs.
The first batch of about 500,000 orcs moved to the Lingchuan territory, and the humans will provide the initial food and seeds to the orcs, and there are also humans left behind to guide the orcs on how to plant...... Although humans and orcs were hostile races before, after more than two months of propaganda and preparation by the lords of the Lingchuan Domain, most of the aborigines of the Lingchuan Territory welcomed the relocation of the Orcs, because in this way, there would be no more violent orc armies running to kill people and steal food in the future...... For the ordinary people who still stay here, it is precisely because they don't want to leave their homeland that they risk their lives to stay, as long as they can live in peace, do they care whether the land here is human or orc?
In response to the words, although there is generational hatred, it is more important to live.
Moreover, the orcs have been explained in advance that they must be more tolerant of humans in the territory of human beings, and they must not hurt people with their strength...... There is something to report to the orc officer stationed there, and it cannot be resolved. In fact, this kind of integration is the difficult point at the beginning, and after getting along for a while, people will slowly get used to it, which Qin Lan has seen very clearly in the last period of time in the Mutu Great 6 Illusion, and in the end, all the clans gathered, and the people of Xinglan, who had been injured many times by the war, did not react strongly.
All of this is going on slowly, because Xinglan and the orcs have discussed in advance to keep it as secret as possible, so this point is not known to the outside world at present, what the Human Alliance knows is that Xinglan and the orcs have reached some agreements, and the Storm Flame Legion has begun to move north, preparing to resist the attack of the Ruifen Empire.
In fact, they didn't know that the Raging Lan Legion and the Phantom Fox Legion had also evacuated from the garrison in batches and quietly went north.
The invasion war of the Ruifen Empire, after the cold winter of Big 6 finally passed, finally exploded as scheduled...... At the beginning of March, the million-strong army gathered in the Kaski Fortress of the Ruifen Empire began to rush towards the Fury Wind Fortress of the Xinglan Empire like a flood.
The commander of the Raging Wind Fortress is Le Zhengde, he is known for his steadiness, the four major army commanders of the Xinglan Empire have their own characteristics, jealous like hatred Fu Zhiyi, violent like Lei Xiahou Zhen, ghost like a shadow Lai Chenyi, stable as a mountain Le Zhengde, in the face of the Ruifen army whose military strength is far superior to his own, Le Zhengde's response is very simple...... Shut the door.
If you want to attack the city, you attack, do you want me to go out to meet the battle? Don't even think about it, no matter how provocative and insulting the Ruifen army is, Le Zhengde is as unmoved as a stubborn stone, relying on the high walls of the Fury Wind Fortress, he has blocked the Ruifen army alive.
Most of the regular siege battles on Mutu Da 6 are the first to bombard the mage legion for a while, and it is best if you can find a way to collapse the city wall, so that the army can pour in directly...... However, it is clear that the Raging Winds also has a Legion of Mages. Although the number of mage legions in the Ruifen Empire is relatively large, but the Raging Wind Fortress is supported by a magic tower, so it is basically a draw for the time being, and now it is just an endless magic bombardment between the two sides, but it depends on who can't support it first.
Fortunately, the mage department of the Storm Flame Legion came out early in the morning, and at the end of March, the mage troops of the Raging Wave Legion also arrived at the Raging Wind Fortress, with the rotation of the mage troops of the three legions, the army of the Ruifen Empire really had no idea what to do with the Raging Wind Fortress for a while, and after two or three times the army forcibly charged and attacked the city, in the end it only left tens of thousands of corpses to retreat.
The war seems to be mired...... The Ruifen Empire obviously didn't expect the Xinglan Empire's resistance to be so tough, so in late April, they all transferred the ultimate combat weapon, the magic guide cannon, from their own country.
At the beginning of May, the powerful magic cannon force finally arrived at the perimeter of the Fury Wind Fortress, hoping to blast through the thick walls of the Fury Wind Fortress with five magic cannons, but at this time, the commander they faced with the Fury Wind Fortress was no longer Le Zhengde, but the faithful king who came in person. There weren't many people accompanying him, but Qin Lan was among them.
The so-called war, in fact, is the economy.
From the beginning of March to May, the armies of the two countries gathered in the Angry Wind Fortress, although they have not yet made their own contributions, and it seems that the fight is tepid, but the savings of the Xinglan Empire in recent years have almost bottomed out, not to mention the consumption of more than 200,000 soldiers, the loss of the magic legion alone has basically dragged down the Xinglan Empire, not to mention the magic crystals needed to replenish the magic power of the mages, and the magic crystals needed to maintain the magic enchantment of the Fury Wind Fortress are already astronomical, because the enchantment is constantly being bombarded, and it is also constantly being consumed......
When I really started fighting, I realized how weak my family background was.
The Xinglan Empire is at war every few years, and the country always collapses and rebuilds...... Again and again, again and again, the mess again and again, so that the country still does not have much savings, so the empress Yun Yuqi, who implements benevolent government, is so popular, so she does not want to show the army, but tries her best to improve the lives of the people, otherwise, the country is rich and the people are always just delusional.
But now, the Ruifen Empire has finally come to this point...... Empress Yun Yuqi asked for help from the Human Alliance early in the morning, asking the big powers of Aden to come forward to stop the barbaric acts of the Ruifen Empire, and there may have been some results before, anyway, the Ruifen Empire was forced by international pressure, although it was increasing its troops, but it never moved, and the sudden and decisive invasion of the army at the beginning of this year was obviously a change within the Human Alliance.
"There is no doubt that the King of Aden wants to see our strength clearly, so you can think that the Human Alliance is actually the one standing behind the Ruifen Empire, and in the past, for the stability of the alliance, the King of Aden would suppress the Ruifen Empire and not cause chaos, but now, the King of Aden does not want to see any unforeseen accidents in our Xinglan Empire, so he urgently needs to find out what is going on with us who have shown our strength in the Orc Empire. Qin Lan looked at the Empress Yun Yuqi and the Faithful King Yun Tianqi in front of him, and shook his eyebrows, "If we really have such a talent, he will find a way to buy or take him captive to Aden by forced means to maintain his name as the first kingdom of Aden, but if not...... Then destroy it and rebuild another country...... To put it simply, the Refen Empire is now the sword of the King of Aden. ”
"......" Yun Yuqi and Yun Tian looked at each other, are you really a thirteen-year-old child?
"Then how to solve the current situation?" it took a long time for Yun Yuqi to ask again. "According to the information summarized by the court meeting in the morning, we Xinglan can only hold out for half a month at most, and after half a month, I am afraid that the Fury Wind Fortress will be broken......"
"Of course the Fury Wind Fortress can't be broken. Qin Lan pondered for a moment, "Although we are not afraid of the army of the Human Alliance in the Plains War, it is never good for the war to burn on our side, so let's give them a fatal blow outside the Angry Wind Fortress." ”
"How...... How to give?" Yun Tianqi felt that he couldn't keep up with Qin Lan's thinking rhythm, what we said was that now we can't resist the attack of the Ruifen Empire, but you said that you want to give them a fatal blow?
"It's true that we are difficult to do ourselves, but as the attacker, the consumption of the Ruifen Empire is even greater......," Qin Lan pointed to the map, "It's not that I said you, your field of vision is really narrow...... Look here, the Fortress of the Furious Wind is only a few dozen miles apart from the Fortress of Caschi, and this narrow passage is blocked from end to end, and on both sides is the unattainable Perri Mountains, and if I remember correctly, the summit seems to be covered with snow all year round......"
"That's right, what are you trying to say?" Yun Tianqi moaned his head, "What does this have to do with the consumption of the Ruifen Empire?"
"If we shake down the snow on the tops of the Perry Mountains, or even let the magicians use earthquake magic to create rocks and mudflows, and roll all the way down from the top of the mountain, what do you say will happen to the one million Ruifen people crowded in this passage?" Qin Lan shrugged, "It seems that there are a lot more orphans in this world. ”
Shock, absolute shock
The faithful king Yun Tianqi and the empress Yun Yuqi looked at each other for a full five minutes before turning their heads to look at Qin Lan, "I can be sure now that you are an out-and-out demon."
"Thank you for the compliment," Qin Lan actually smiled and nodded.
......
The magic cannon is very important because it is expensive, because it is bulky, because it is very powerful.
It took the commander of the Refinn Empire three days to place the five magic cannons in the right place, so he sent people to the Angry Wind Fortress again to give an ultimatum, and he confidently demanded that the commander of the Angry Wind Fortress surrender immediately, otherwise he would not be able to stop the killing of such a large number of soldiers once the city was breached.
However, before the messenger could return, suddenly there was a low muffled sound in the air, as if it was thunder, but the commander of Reven looked up at the sky, and it was obviously sunny...... Yes...... Yes...... Yes......
At this time, the earth also began to tremble, and everyone stopped what they were doing, because now they were shaking and could not even stand on their feet, and everyone looked desperately at the wave that was rapidly churning down from the top of the Perri Mountains that towered from the sky, and countless boulders and trees flew down in it, and it was as if a sudden rain of stones fell in the air, obviously it was sunny, but it was ...... The yin haze of the coming of death
Facts have proved that in the face of nature's natural might, human beings are as small as ants...... In the face of the mud and stone waves that spread for miles, no matter how you escape, it is useless, even if you lift into the air, you can't escape the dense flying rocks and other debris in the air, and the two tall fortresses that were originally specially built to separate the two worlds have now become the door gods of death.
......
The huge mudslide blocked almost all the gaps between the Fury Wind Fortress and the Kaschi Fortress, and the Faithful King had to have a lot of reinforcement at the gates of the Fury Wind Fortress to prevent the mudslide from raging into the Fury Wind Keep, but even so, the boulders flying in the air smashed many of the buildings of the Fury Wind Fortress, and even many soldiers were injured......
And the million-strong army of the Ruifen Empire......
With the help of other countries of the Human Alliance, it took about a year and a half for the Fenrui Empire to clean up these mudslides and finally dig up the bodies of these soldiers. The garrison commander of the Kaski Fortress fainted on the spot when he watched the mudslide roll down and drown his country's army, but fortunately he was protected by soldiers, otherwise he would have been killed by the rocks flying from the air.
The battle of Fury Wind Fortress shocked the whole world.
