Chapter 67: Miserable

readx; From the Plains of Flower Language to Scambrai, it is only half a day for the Wind Dragon, and for the other Dragon Knights, it is more than half a day, and for the Vulture Knight, even if it is a night, it will take at least four days and nights. The three generals in the big tent of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion know one thing www.biquge.info now, there are at least five dragon knights on the Flower Language Plain, and Amy does not send dragon knights, which is meaningful.

At the very least, one thing is certain, at least five days before the Scambrai soldiers teleported, Generalissimo Amy knew about it.

What puzzled the two generals was that, as Duke Fan said just now, more than eighty percent of these thirty or forty thousand soldiers were human beings, and they would basically not be infected, and they were all new forces. Why, then, didn't Generalissimo Amy stop it in advance?

Impossible, if this order arrived in the Gyeonggi theater four days in advance, even if Duke Fan was not there, the two generals would have to immediately launch a siege battle to prevent the Western Emperor from escaping - otherwise, even if there was no way to deal with it at that time, after two or three days, His Excellency the Generalissimo would definitely have the right to "click" these high-ranking officers who had delayed the warplane, especially now that there was Ji Aotian under Amy's command. The Chi family is now a marshal of three families, and the head of the family is still the head of the emperor's ** Ministry of Affairs and Chief of General Staff, if it is this yin god who comes to give the order, let alone the generals, Duke Fan, who is also worshiped as a marshal, has to be careful of the head on his neck.

"My lord, I heard...... His Excellency the Generalissimo is a great magician, and besides, the son-in-law of Lord Lin He is also the queen of the Magic Empire, so maybe the Generalissimo really knew about it before that. "General Wynne is preoccupied.

Wynne's guess was right, Amy did know about the plan of the Western Magic Empire half a month ago - the Eastern and Western Magic Empires are separated by a wall of roses, and many magicians in the two empires are brothers in the same sect, and there are really people chatting across the flower wall when they are usually fine. This time, in response to Scambrae's plan, the Magic Empire of the West mobilized a large number of great magicians, and this move was detected by the Magic Empire of the East within a few days. Lin Yushang didn't react, the thief Lao Chengjing strung together the things before and after, and immediately guessed that the large-scale transfer of the Western Magic Empire was nothing more than targeting the three directions of Scambrai, the Plains of Flower Language, and the original mercenary empire.

Lin Yushang hurriedly asked the dragon knight to send a message to the plain of flowers, and Amy judged at that time after receiving the letter that Reynolds was going to give up Scambrai. From a strategic point of view, after abandoning the Sangan River, the value of Scambrai has been greatly reduced, and then the plague broke out, and now Scambrai is no longer a chicken rib for the Western Emperor Cluster, but a real stinky chicken butt. As soon as they evacuated, the Western Emperor Monarch cluster would be able to concentrate the combat power in their hands as soon as possible, and even gain a local advantage in troops.

Amy was indeed capable of stopping the withdrawal of tens of thousands of troops from the Western Emperor - and there was no need to force the Gyeonggi Theater troops to forcibly attack the city.

The operating principle of all teleportation arrays is very simple, that is, with the help of the power of the six magic spirits, tear open the wormhole leading to the Shangjing Spirit Realm, which is the only shortcut to the entire Creation God Realm, through the Shangjing Spirit Realm, so that the teleported objects or lives appear in another teleportation array with the same quality as this teleportation array.

Amy has a nine-series high-level magic spirit, although he can't change the end point of the teleportation, but it is not very difficult to drive the high-level high-level spirit to simulate the chaotic power near Scambrai, and use it to disperse the magic spirit gathered near the teleportation array - if that, Scambrai City can teleport hundreds of people a day at most.

However, Amy did not do that.

Duke Fan stood there for a long time, his mind seemed to be boiling, and all that flowed in front of him was the little boy who didn't smile or speak, and the sweat on his palms was through the letters, until General Huai'en woke up his contemplation with continuous coughing, and the Duke pursed his lips: "I told you a long time ago that you can't be too soft-hearted, especially a soldier, and you can't be in charge of soldiers." In this world, there are brave generals, wise generals, and famous generals...... There will never be a mercy general. This person...... is too soft-hearted, so, throughout his life, he will not surpass Chi Aotian in martial arts. Extremely useless, that's probably what he said. Go down and rest......"

The two generals knew who the Duke was talking about, and as real soldiers, it was inconvenient for them to intervene in the slander between the marshals, so they immediately bowed their heads and took their leave.

Three or four steps away from the big tent of the Chinese army, the two generals still heard another sentence that the marshal should not have said: "The king is not the king, and the king is not the king......

The ears of the two middle-aged officers were as hot as fire, and they hurriedly quickened their pace away from the big tent.

This sentence is not said by Duke Fan, but a children's rhyme that circulates in the frozen fortress of Lindu of the Northern Federal Empire, and the full sentence of the children's rhyme is: "The red moon falls, the demon cháo rises, the human dragon god, change the face of the sky, the west emperor falls, the east emperor rises, the mercenary king, the king of the mainland, the king is not the king, the king is not the king, the world is prosperous, the king of kings." ”

No one knows where the ballad came from or who made it up. At that time, Duke Fan was still in the military power of the Northern Federation, and he was also the governor of the Frozen Fortress, and this ballad was presented to the Duke by an officer with a heart, and the face of the old officer who was over forty years old changed at that time. However, at that time, Duke Fan did not report this ballad to His Majesty Hongshi, but immediately issued a strict order that anyone should sing this ballad again, otherwise they would be killed on the street - about this, many people speculated that Chimen was kind to the Duke who was in distress back then, and there was a bit of incense here.

After ten months, Bai Shaoling didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and suddenly muttered half a sentence in front of His Majesty Hongshi, and His Majesty Hongshi was swallowed by this ballad and couldn't speak for a long time. Soon after, Duke Fan's title of Governor of the Frozen Fortress was removed.

Later, the Praetorian Guards arrested hundreds of children on the streets, searched for their roots all the way, and finally closed the case: this ballad was originally sung by a beggar, and it was suspected that it was used by the Western Emperor. This seems to be a happy answer, but apart from the answer of the song's editor, the content of the song itself has to be heart-wrenching.

What does this mean? Should the king be called the king but not the king, and be crowned the king by the forces of the Demon Jing Forest, the Mercenary Empire, and so on? Or is it simply because of humility and not the king, and finally become the king of the continent in the true sense?

Most of the officers in the Northern Federal Theater of Operations believe that the series of promotions and secret demotions after His Majesty Redstone has a lot to do with this children's song. Moreover, as for the title of "Human Dragon God", in fact, it has gradually become a title for the trio of the small mercenary group since the appearance of this children's song, but at this time, His Excellency Amy is not a dragon knight.

It didn't matter for what reason His Excellency didn't prevent the Western Emperor from escaping, Duke Fan was sure that, by Amy's measurements, the matter had come to an end. Early in the morning of the second day, the siege forces of Scambrai officially took over the almost dilapidated imperial capital.

Although they had been prepared in their hearts, the Emperor ** team was still shocked after driving into Didu! Especially the soldiers of the Colorful Dragon Knights System, they would never have imagined that the center of the continent of Scambrai could be so tattered!

There are a total of eight main roads in Didu, and now, all the houses on both sides of these eight main roads have been stripped off, and a female wall more than three meters high has been built on the spot, dividing the entire city into seven concentration areas -- this is the last resort of Marshal Dahaino in order to imitate the plague, and anyone who dares to step out of his concentration area without a warrant from a high-ranking officer will be beheaded immediately! The team drove in, and the inhabitants of the empire behind the female wall were still crouching and crouching, not daring to look out at all, let alone leave the concentration area.

The two concentration areas on the south side of the didu are epidemic areas, the east side is slightly smaller, and has been used to place the internal personnel of the Western Emperor and the Fanos soldiers, and the concentration area on the west side is more than two kilometers in diameter, which is much larger than the average small city, after overthrowing the female wall, the scene in front of you is amazing - pits, more than 20 large pits with a diameter of 50 meters, the deepest pit is more than 30 meters, and the shallowest is also four or five meters. The pit was stinking, and the doctor wearing the mask stepped forward, as if he had blown up a pot, and for a lifetime, countless golden-headed flies the size of copper flew up in the pit, splitting and smashing on people's faces, knocking a doctor to the ground...... Later, I learned that when these pits were excavated, the depth was the same, all of them were 33 meters, and a layer of soil was sprinkled after a layer of corpses, and then a layer of corpses was thrown, and then a layer of soil was sprinkled...... No less than thirty such pits have been completely filled. How many corpses are in these pits? No one has counted them, and no one dares to count them!

One thing has gone down in history: no one has drunk well water from Scambrai since nine years into the Magic Calendar - the water pumped up from 60 meters underground has a stench in it!

According to incomplete statistics, after the bloody night of Didu, the residents of Scambrai should be about 800,000, after Amy led the small mercenary group from Hamburg City to the north bank of the Sangan River, he has been oppressing the space around Scambrai, and the surrounding residents either took refuge in the small mercenary group, or the whole family moved to live near Didu, and the number of Scambrai residents exploded all the way to more than 1.3 million. Horns made his second visit to Scambrai, and thanks to Amy's rebellion, the surrounding soldiers and civilians fled to Didu on a large scale, and the total number of Scambrai residents at least doubled.

However, after Duke Fan captured Scambrai "bloodlessly", after repeated checks and statistics, the total number of residents received was 16286432. In other words, about one million or so residents died in this offensive and defensive battle, which lasted for more than 180 years.

The most rigorous and conservative historians have no objection to the figure of one million - there is no need to bother to count the inhabitants who have been buried in the epidemic area, that is, the other five concentration areas, and the emperor's ** team has counted all the way over, and the dead bodies they saw are enough to support this number!

How many people, not a single one left has died! One kang after another, one place after another...... Dead corpses, all dead corpses, just lying like that, motionless, I don't know how long they have been dead, there are some corpses, pulled by hand, the muscles fall directly from the bones, and the ground is full of soup!

Duke Fan's army and civilians totaled more than 300,000, and according to the imperial establishment, the standard luggage configuration for each person is: single quilt x1, single bed sheet x2, single bedspread x1. Because a lot of corpses are difficult to clean up, Huai Enshen will make a move, call the bed sheets to wrap the corpses outside the city and burn or bury them, as a result, all 600,000 bed sheets are used up, and then the bedspreads are used up, and finally some quilts are mobilized to clean up completely.

Not all of them died of the plague, or, most of them did not die of the plague - there was only one cause of the highest deaths: hunger!

Didu's food has long since bottomed out, and the food sent in by the Magic Empire of the West is a drop in the bucket, and it is impossible to supply two million people - not even the army.

In the beginning, it was to kill the family's large and small animals, then to pick up the bark of the trees, then to the grass roots, the cotton, the bran in the pillows, and finally the white soil...... In order to fill their stomachs, people have come up with almost every way they can think of it, even the sorghum stalks tied to the roof of the toilet are pulled down to make porridge and drink.

The northernmost part of Scambrai is a military camp, and the direct legion of the Western Emperor is also here, and there are still war horses in the legion, and when the hunger first began, the outside of the barracks was full of people every day, all of them were related people, they were waiting, waiting for horse manure! War horses must be fed, and the digestive system of livestock is very rough, a considerable proportion of bean oats are eaten and pulled out, in the great famine, no one cares where these beans seem to come from, and the horse manure is immediately robbed as soon as the camp comes out!

Later, the horse manure was not allowed out of the camp, and it was divided directly in the barracks. Later, the horses were killed, and naturally there was no horse manure.

The first unlucky ones were the children, especially the children who were still eating nǎi, and the adults were walking and shaking with hunger, how could there be nǎi, and in the second month of the siege, someone secretly threw the children in front of the imperial palace at night - the whole city was not hungry, in case they met someone with good intentions. In one night, there were dozens of children.

Later, it was not allowed to be thrown away, and all the area around the palace was under martial law.

Then throw it casually, wrap the small quilt in a single one, tie it with a rope, and throw it to see whose style is at the door!

In the beginning, there were people who really liked children. Later, no one cared, it wasn't hard-hearted, and if it was picked back, it would starve to death, and I couldn't fill my stomach, so what were I doing...... Before and after the rainy season, the children still stretched out their two hands during the day, and the mother screamed, and there was a rainstorm at night, and more than seventy percent of the children could not see the sun the next day.

Then there are the elderly, then there are young adults, especially men, women are fine, they are hungry, they really can't lie in bed, and they can wait a few more days when they die. In short, unless there are people who are determined to follow the Western Emperor Cluster, and there must be people who have certain means, I haven't heard of anyone who didn't starve to death in the second Didu offensive and defensive battle.

After the end of the War of the Gods, why did the inhabitants of the empire hate Duke Fan so much? There is only one reason: Historians announced that the warrant of Generalissimo Amy at that time was to arrive at the military camp in the Gyeonggi Theater on January 26 in winter, and if he took over Didu at that time, how many fewer people would die?! In the Great Famine, every minute someone was summoned by His Highness the God of Death because of hunger, and the further back on, the number of people dying and starving to death every minute was exploding! And the executioner, Duke Fan, dragged on until the fourth day before he officially took over Scambrai!

Some people estimate that the number of people who died of starvation in these four days will not be less than 200,000! How many corpses are still carrying a little temperature when they are moved?!

But is it really the executioner Duke Fan who is to blame for all this?

The gods have no way! The sky has no eyes!
