Chapter 55: Purgatory on Earth
At this moment, outside the gate of the Candle Country, a team of 2,000 people was gathering momentum.
The temporary leader of the two thousand people was Chen Binqi, and at this moment, Chen Binqi's eyes were staring at the East City Gate, as if he was unwilling to let go of any detail.
"Team Chen, there is less than half an hour left before the hour, and now it seems that everything is quiet when I look at the city gate, and we will ...... when the time comes."
One of his subordinates asked Chen Binqi with a little doubt.
Indeed, the city gate at this moment looked too calm, not at all as if something big was about to happen.
But Chen Binqi shook his head, "What do you know, this is the calm before the storm, can you still doubt what General Xing said?" ”
The news that Xing Daorong led a thousand Yu State troops to contain the 100,000 people of Xi State had already spread throughout the army.
It is not an exaggeration to call the current Xing Daorong the god of war.
Who would doubt what the god of war said, or who would have the right to doubt it.
Hearing this, the subordinate also nodded and stopped talking.
Maybe this is indeed the case, what General Xing Daorong said, that is, the order of the gods, there will be absolutely no mistake.
General Xing's disappearance at this moment must have gone deep behind enemy lines, and as soon as the time comes, he will open a broad road for his 2,000 people.
……
Ring City East Gate Warehouse.
In the entire Candle Country, almost all the troops that can be mobilized have been called by Kato Hime.
At this moment, all the soldiers of the Candle Kingdom gathered at the city gate.
These soldiers didn't come here to fight, they all came to carry things.
Throughout the day, truckloads of herbs arrived, and they all had to be moved to various warehouses.
Herbs were piled up all over the warehouse, not only the warehouses at the east gate, but also the warehouses at the west gate and the north gate.
Even many of the rooms that weren't originally used to store things were temporarily used as warehouses.
But even so, there are still cars pulling the herbs over, because in many other places, there are a group of bitter people who are desperately pulling weeds.
Well, this group of people pulling weeds under the scorching sun is none other than Chen Heishan and the three thousand Great Xia soldiers who were captured with him.
All of them were wearing heavy shackles that made it impossible for them to break free, but even then they still had to go to various parts of the Candle Country to pick herbs.
But not to mention, this group of people who have really smoked Huazi have found herbs that are not only accurate, but also of good quality.
Obviously, that's great!
After all, it can be said that the current herb is Kato Hime's life, standing in the warehouse at the east gate, looking at the black powder in the corner and even having a little disgust.
Kato knew that these black powders were not ordinary.
But even so, I was still a little dissatisfied with seeing them occupy the position of their own medicinal herbs now.
I tried to throw them away several times, but in the end, after thinking about it, reason prevailed.
Other than that, there is no gap in the entire warehouse.
Kato-hime looked at the warehouse full of herbs and smiled as if he were crazy.
"So much, I'm going to be developed, Your Majesty, look at it!"
That's right, opposite Kato Hime, it is the current Emperor Qingchen of the Candle Country.
Kato Ji sent someone to inform Qingchen in the morning that he must come here if he has time, he has made a huge discovery.
And at this moment, Qingchen looked at his Dadu Governor, and even his laughter mutated, and the facial features on his face were a little distorted, and he wondered: "Dadu Dudu, although the one we made is close, I always feel that there is a certain difference in the taste from the Daxia soldiers, could it be that the herb is wrong?" ”
As the emperor of the Candle Kingdom, the Huazi captured on the Great Xia soldiers yesterday will definitely be handed over to him as soon as possible.
Last night, he smoked more than 30 sticks, and it can be said that he is very familiar with the taste.
The Huazi on the Great Xia soldiers were all made by Xia Yan relying on the formula produced by the system.
Even if the ingredients are exactly the same, Kato-hime will never be able to make a Hanako that tastes exactly the same.
It's just that Kato-hime doesn't think so.
"Your Majesty, the last general has tried so many herbs, and this one is the most similar, I can't be wrong to think about it, and the difference in taste must be because there is no relationship between wrapping pieces of paper."
Yesterday's experiments were all carried out without a piece of paper, which is certainly not too accurate.
But now, as long as you roll up all these herbs, the taste will be more than nine points similar to before.
"Don't say anything, I'll roll one now, you can see it!"
Kato was about to roll one and then set it on fire.
However, the accident also happened at this moment, and when the paper was lit, a small flame fell and landed directly on top of a bundle of small herbs.
This bundle of small herbs was not too big, that is, thirty or fifty.
According to normal speaking, if it is burned, it will be burned, and even if it is burned in a warehouse of such herbs in the past, Kato Ji will not feel half distressed.
But at this moment, these medicinal herbs can be said to be Kato-hime's good treasures.
After seeing his baby on fire, Kato-hime's eyes widened and he desperately tried to extinguish it.
Then Kato Ji hurriedly threw it to the ground, hoping to extinguish it, but the herb burned too fast and had no effect at all.
In a hurry, Qingchen on the side pointed to the pile of black powder and said loudly.
"Governor, you can insert it in there to put out the fire!"
People in this world don't seem to understand the chemistry of flame extinguishing, but they still understand the basics of putting fire out in the sand.
After hearing Qingchen's words, Kato-hime suddenly realized.
"Truly, your majesty is still smart!"
Then Kato didn't hesitate for a moment, and directly stabbed the burning herb into the pile of black powder.
After that, Kato Hime is not very clear.
From his point of view, it just felt as if the world had fallen into a moment of silence.
There was silence all around, as if plunged into nothingness.
Well, the moment the gunpowder touched the open flame, there was a brutal and violent explosion.
Kato Ji and Qingchen, as the two closest to gunpowder, walked peacefully without any pain.
But the two of them didn't suffer, the others were different.
The three gates of the east, north, and west gates all trembled violently at this moment.
Watchtowers also collapsed at this moment, because the aftermath of the explosion caused countless houses to collapse.
What is even more terrifying is that the various houses at the three gates are stored with extremely flammable medicinal herbs.
Therefore, the three gates were in flames at this moment.
An unprecedented fire filled the entire ring city.
The already dark sky above the ring city also turned fiery red at this moment.
And the soldiers of the Candle Country, a large number of people gathered between the three city gates, and they were affected by the aftermath of the explosion, and many people were killed on the spot.
Even if they were lucky enough to survive, the situation was not much better than dying.
Many were badly wounded, lying on the ground wailing with blood streaming down their bodies.
Today's ring city is like a hell on earth, even those who survive by luck are too busy to take care of themselves, where can they help others.
If I had to add an adjective to this scene, it would be: purgatory on earth.
