Chapter 231: Forward
The army had to continue to move forward, Lin Nian frowned slightly, he was no stranger to this kind of practice of clearing the wilderness, but for the demon clan, there were some things that they couldn't digest, could it be that these things were also disposed of?
It didn't take long for him to get an answer.
Passing by a small village, the soldiers took out nearly thirty corpses from the well, such water is not drinkable at all, and the farmland that has been cultivated nearby has also been trampled clean, it is obvious that this year's land is definitely not harvested, the next few villages are roughly the same, although the grain is there, but it is hidden extremely secretly, if it is not for the werewolves in the army, I am afraid they will not be able to find it, even so, the food found is not enough, but the food is there, but the drinking water is not at all, even the small river next to it has been soaked in the corpse of the demons, and the troops who fetch water have walked at least three miles before they can be regarded as encountering relatively clean river water。
"Where did you learn this, even if it's an orc fight, it's like this, is it really a good thing to learn and sell now?" Seeing that Lin Nian was testing the water quality, the deputy commander next to him said with an angry face.
After listening to his complaints, Lin Nian first signaled that the water was fine, and then said: "Don't worry, this kind of difficulty is only temporary, and you don't have to worry, because, when you get to Juguan City, you will be even more troubled." ”
"Huh?" The deputy commander didn't react for a while, and hurriedly chased after him, and a winged man beside him couldn't help but remind: "Sir, it's the same in Juguan City, the water is not very clean. After hearing this, the deputy commander couldn't help but squint at the wingman soldier, but what he got was a positive look, the deputy commander scratched his head, and then let the wingman go down, turned his head to look at Juguan City, which was still half a day away in front of him, and the deputy commander secretly sighed twice, and then went down to arrange food.
Half a day's journey is very fast, and Juguan City is really like a reconnaissance, it is a completely empty city, the corpses under the city have not been cleaned up at all, the smell of decay is wafting with the wind, it is disgusting, countless birds and beasts are wantonly tearing this rotting corpse, seeing the army coming, these beasts actually have no intention of hiding, obviously they have been accustomed to it.
The gate of Juguan City is opened, the door hole is dried bloodstains, after entering the city, the first thing to see is two towers that have collapsed, according to Tony, at that time, the demons surrounded the city on all sides, after the city gate was broken, these two towers shot at least nearly a hundred demon warriors, and now these two towers have been completely destroyed, deformed corpses and splattered blood stains can be seen in the rubble, the warriors inside obviously did not have time to escape, but died with the tower, the death was very heroic, seeing such a scene, those cavalry who were originally Juguan City were sad, and the soldiers of other races also showed a trace of unbearable。
After passing the tower, I saw several other destroyed towers in the city, basically the same situation, the towers within the city walls, basically all destroyed, the few that remained, all of them were the corpses of warriors, and there was not a single survivor.
And as the intelligence said, there were thirty-four wells in the city, all of which had recovered corpses, and the most of them were forced to give up because there were too many corpses, and it was finally determined that there were less than twenty wells that had been salvaged, and after inspection, eighteen were confirmed.
Lin Nian looked at the soaked corpses, most of them were warriors, the wounds had been soaked white, and even began to decay and fall off, and some of the corpses in the lowest layer had been completely decomposed by the blisters, after reading it, Lin Nian came to the side of the well to check, and then let everyone dodge, Lin Nian put his hand into the well, and then the ghost qi on his hand condensed, looking at the shape of the ghost qi in his hand, Lin Nian pursed his lips and smiled, and then the ghost qi shot directly at the bottom of the well, and between the surging waves, he saw a black humanoid smoke rushing out of the water, roaring towards Lin Nian, but Lin Nian was not afraid to let these ghosts rush into his body, and these ghosts were the resentful spirits in this water, Every resentful soul rushed into Lin Nian's body, and the toxins that drifted in the water were directly brought out, and the yin wind gusted, expanding around the well, although everyone had retreated again and again, but in the end they still did not dodge, and the soldiers who were swept by the yin wind immediately fell into a coma, and after the deputy commander and other strong people who had cultivated to a high level were stunned, they immediately ordered the troops to withdraw five hundred meters away, and those unconscious soldiers were also rescued by them.
But even so, they still underestimated Lin Nian's strength, countless resentful souls flew out of the wellhead where Lin Nian was, and several nearby wellheads also heard the same roaring sound, and then before the people around them could react, they took the resentful souls and went straight to Lin Nian with boundless resentment, and after seeing Lin Nian, they immediately drilled into Lin Nian's body, and as there were more and more resentful spirits, the entire Juguan City sounded a roar full of anger and resentment, and the originally sunny sky became cloudy in a short period of time, and the black cloud head seemed to be pressed down at any time, and the heavy atmosphere made people breathless, but Lin Nian, who was in the midst of the storm, had a calm face at the moment, and even had a slight smile.
This dull atmosphere lasted until dawn, the whole night, everyone did not rest well, when the sun rose, the sleepy-eyed fluffy soldiers felt that their bodies were obviously a lot lighter, and the smell of the city seemed to dissipate a lot, this strange feeling made them wake up immediately, vigilantly stretched their waists, the noisy team began to become orderly under the order, just after the soldiers finished the weapons and equipment on their bodies, they found that the soldiers of the logistics unit actually ran over with buckets, everyone looked confused, I don't know how this water can be supplied so early today, I feel doubts in my heart, naturally someone asked, and the soldiers of the logistics unit bluntly told everyone that the water was pumped from the well in the city, and now there is no problem with drinking it.
After saying that, he also scooped water for the soldiers to demonstrate, and saw a scoop of water being drunk cleanly, and the logistics soldier stood for a long time and had nothing to do, so the other soldiers rushed to drink all the water.
Compared with these people, there are some people who are more concerned about Lord Lin Nian's current situation, so some people go straight to the well, but what they see is that the two proprietresses are supporting Lin Nian to sit by the well, their faces are pale, without the slightest blood, and even their eyes are a little blank, it seems that they are in a state of weakness, and there are a lot of water stains around him, and I don't know what is going on, if they don't see Lin Nian's previous actions, I am afraid they will think that Lord Lin is going to commit suicide by jumping into the well.
"Now that the water problem has been solved, all that remains is food and grass, or food to be exact. "An army of 100,000 is not a small number in a day, and now the Binis Empire is short of resources, if you want to find food, you can only try it as soon as possible, otherwise these 100,000 troops are likely to starve to death directly on the way to the battlefield.
Because Lin Nian's strength was seriously depleted, the troops had to rest in Juguan City for a day, and then when Lin Nian regained some strength, the army marched north again.
Lin Nian looked at the map on the horse, his brows furrowed, the map he was holding in his hand was not big, but it was the outline map of a continent, the orc empire, the Hongdao Mountain Range and the dividing line of the three major human empires were all very clear, now it seems that no matter which empire of the human race, its capital is north of the Hongdao Mountain Range, the only one that is not next to the Hongdao Mountain Range is the Ron Empire, and the two that are divided by the Hongdao Mountain Range are the Binis Empire and the Kotler Empire, and now all the way to the north, the temperature is slightly cooler, but after all, spring is almost over, and the temperature will not be cold even if it is cold。
"You don't look at the map yet, aren't you tired?" Yinyue drove the horse to Lin Nian's side and looked at him with curiosity on her face, Lin Nian was a little surprised by her staring, and hurriedly said: "No, I'm just thinking about how to go next." ”
"Where else can you go, go forward, is it possible that you are still going backwards, do you have a chance?" Yinyue's words were like a heavy hammer, making Lin Nian's body for a while, Lin Nian turned his head to look at Yinyue, with a complicated look in his eyes, and then nodded slightly and said: "That's right, even if the road ahead is difficult, you can only move forward, but I didn't expect that the person who said this sentence was you." ”
Yinyue was confused when she heard it, but Lin Nian's frowning eyebrows had stretched, and the confusion between her eyes gradually turned into clarity, and the feeling was no longer oppressive and heavy.
Lin Nian's changes, others don't know, but the spirit master in the divine consciousness naturally knows best, for a long time, Lin Nian has been passively bearing everything in front of him, whether it's Lien, Lin, or ugly, and even Lin Nian just now, he doesn't have a clear concept of the future road, especially after he fused the memories of his previous life, this kind of chaotic role makes Lin Nian have no urge to escape all the time, but his fate in this world is not finished, at least in a short time, he can't jump out of this world, because he can't, so he is angry, but even so, he is still constantly arranging and arranging, just to be able to achieve the final result, There are actually not many difficulties that can stand in front of him now, but these difficulties are so overwhelming that he can't turn over, just like a monkey in the story of his previous life, who has been tightly pressed for so many years.
Yinyue's unintentional words made Lin Nian, who was confused at this moment, get the long-awaited answer, in addition to moving forward, and having already walked so far, is there a way out?
In fact, Lin Nian also knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it, Yinyue had no intention of dialing, so it was naturally Yunkai Yuexian.
But Ling Ye doesn't have the energy to care about Lin Nian now, in fact, in Lin Nian's divine sense, there are still hundreds of people waiting to arrange it by himself, outside the originally quiet courtyard, it is now full of people, and Xiao Lucky and Fengyue are looking at the people outside the fence with a curious expression, because these people all appeared out of thin air, and they have different attributes on their bodies, but they only don't belong here.
