136 War of Unification (I)
The next day, after a brief review of the elite legions brought by Syd and Bittel who had gathered in Rilun City, Ankka summoned the two to his office.
Ankh said, "These legions seem to be very strong, and I hope you will soon tell me the news of the victory." ”
"Thanks to the large number of horses contributed by the herdsmen, we were able to form a cavalry corps of a thousand men. ”
Bittel said: "We will definitely be able to follow your route to the northern outlet to the sea within a month!" ”
Ankh waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to ensure safety, just remember, if you have already penetrated into the north, you must be careful behind you, and don't be attacked by those beastmen." ”
Said said, "Mr. Sodeyith and the manager of Fort City put together a team of transportation and logistics in one night, they are really strong, without them, our expedition would definitely not be able to carry out smoothly. ”
Ankha patted his head and said, "I actually forgot to inform Sodeyith that I was really careless, and I almost caused you to go deep into the north without the logistics." ”
Bittel said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the soldiers I trained can completely maintain high morale and fight for you even if they don't have food." ”
Said asked, "How is this possible?" No matter how strong a person's will is, it is impossible to fight hungry! ”
Bittel said disdainfully: "Hmph, my soldiers worship His Majesty Anka as a god, and it is the basic principle of believers to sacrifice everything for God. ”
Said retorted, "Master Anka deserves a soldier, not a fanatic!" ”
Bitter said: "The disciples of the Holy Maiden are not weak in combat! ”
"That's Santa Seca's troops, and Cades doesn't necessarily apply this method," Said said. ”
Bitter slapped a piece of parchment full of blasphemous words from hell on the table and said, "You got this kind of thing from the Holy Maiden to strengthen the legion, what do you have to do with me?" ”
"I'm focused on equipment, not mental."
"But spirit matters!"
Ankka raised her hands to signal the two to shut up.
Ankh said, "You are all excellent, and I don't want you to affect the Legion's combat effectiveness because of each other's gaps. ”
The two said together, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. ”
"Needless to say, it's too restrictive, you remember that this time the operational command is divided into two parts, the operational side is commanded by Said, and the logistics distribution is managed by Bittel, and the logistics distribution is managed by Sodeis, you can gather in the fortress city, try not to let the legions and logistics troops get too far away."
After watching the two leave, Anka also came to the front of the five thousand legions gathered outside the city, which the two considered bad.
Ankh held up his magic sword and said, "We will have no one to stop!" ”
"Hooray!"
Alanxi suddenly jumped off the city wall and asked, "Aren't you going to take me with you?" ”
Ankh looked at the well-defended city behind him and thought to himself: "Alanxi doesn't have the heart to learn anything by Sodeis's side, and it doesn't do much in a city that already has a complete defense, so it's better to take her with her, even if she stays in the rear of the command, she can correct her wrong thoughts at any time." ”
Ankha nodded and said, "Jump on horseback!" ”
When Alanch heard this, he jumped on his horse excitedly, waved his forelimbs, and shouted something he heard from somewhere: "Soldiers, charge me!" ”
After three days of marching, Anka's forces had safely reached the front of a gateway city surrounded by branches of the Immortal River.
Ankh looked at the tall city standing in the distance and asked the soldiers on the side, "Why is this city so tall?" ”
"Your Majesty, this city is not actually used exclusively for defense, but for transporting industrial products to various countries."
"What's that?"
"Some of the most exotic clocks and brass gears were made here and sent everywhere."
Ankh looked at the huge city in front of him with some excitement and thought to herself: "It turns out that there are factories in Carders, and the life of the people here should be better than other compatriots!" ”
Ankh asked, "How is life like for the people here?" ”
The soldier shook his head and said: "It's not good, my family is a potion maker, and I used to receive people who escaped from here, I heard that the people here will be labeled from birth, they can't choose their own life at all, and most of them don't know what it's like outside, they work fifteen hours a day just to change a bowl of slimy food." ”
Ankh suppressed his anger and said, "We want to prepare food later, I will enter here myself tonight, I don't want their first impression of us to be destruction rather than salvation." ”
"Your Majesty! It's too dangerous! ”
"Don't worry! I've done it many times and I won't have a problem this time. ”
Ankh then stripped off his armor and clean clothes and put on a modest coat and walked towards the city, before leaving, Alan Xi rubbed Ankka's hand and said, "If you need me, I can summon me with the lucky scales I gave you, and I will freeze all the bad things that offend you into ice cubes." ”
"If the other party just offends us, we can't think that the other party is a bad person and kill him, everyone's personality is different, you know?"
"Well, then I'll warn them first."
Anka then came to the city and shouted at the weary defenders above, "I'm passing through, can I come in?" ”
The defenders looked around with tired faces, and after not noticing anything unusual, opened the gates and allowed Anka to enter.
Ankh was shocked for a moment and didn't continue to move forward, Ankka thought to himself: "There won't be a fraud so soon!" ”
Despite this, Ankka thought that if she didn't go in, she would probably be suspected, so she pretended to be casual and walked in.
Along the way, Anka found that the city's defenders were extremely weak, not even a standard urn city, and that the soldiers were patrolling the streets like corpses.
The whole street was lifeless, which made Anka murmur in a low voice, "The spirit of these poor people is simply not as good as that of the servants of the arena. ”
Later, Ankka found a hotel where business seemed to be a little bad, and after sitting down in it, Ankka asked, "What do you have to eat here?" How much does it cost? ”
The waiter walked over with a tired face and said, "One copper coin for one night in the hotel, and the food includes meat paste and vegetable paste." ”
"Isn't there something that isn't mushy?"
"There are dried cabbage leaves and white water."
"Then give me a bowl of white water, and I want to stay in the hotel."
Anka drank water and watched carefully at the other lifeless guests, who all came together to give up a seat at a table as some of the soldiers walked in.
And the food that those soldiers got was actually meat sauce and white rice, which are rare here, and even alcohol.
Anka asked the guest on the side suspiciously, "What's going on?" ”
"You're new here! The soldiers here have this privilege, and only they can eat it, and it is for this reason that many people try to send their children to the barracks. ”
"Why is that?"
"The managers here are a bunch of traitors raised by sons of bitch, and they have such a bunch of dogs to watch over us."
The soldiers heard Ankka talking about themselves and shouted, "Who spoke ill of us?" Come out! ”
When the guest heard this, he immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to squeak, and the other party even wanted to come over and arrest someone, Ankha didn't want these to be punished for his own guests and got up and said, "It's me!" ”
