Chapter 481: Great Treasure
Another day, the sun rose in the east, but the glow could not dispel the gloom of the old capital in the distance, and the thick twilight death air enveloped the entire capital. Like a bloodthirsty beast, it is intimidating.
Compared to 500 years ago, the current capital is more like a dead city, surrounded by walls up to 30 meters high. This city wall was built after the defeat of the mutants two hundred years ago, and it was this thick city wall that blocked the last footsteps of the human blood soul army, and the mutants held the last stronghold in Huaxia.
"It doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems. Lu Li looked at the smooth city wall covered with black moss, and his eyes were a little worried.
For more than 200 years, mankind has won the game, and for some reason, the existence of this wall has been ignored, and many people do not know that there is such a strong city defense in the capital.
"Yes, I'm afraid this is a tragic battle!" Qiao Shan sighed, such a wall stood there, I don't know how many corpses will be used to fill it.
"This last stronghold should have been uprooted in one fell swoop, not left for today. Lu Li shook his head.
More than 200 years ago, mankind opened the curtain of counteroffensive, and the soldiers kept pushing north, and finally pushed to the old capital, but finally gave up the final blow. Lu Li has never been able to understand this.
"Alas, it was actually impossible back then, and the people's hearts were not aligned, and it was difficult to achieve great things after all. Duanmulie on the side sighed.
"Oh, big brother, do you know the situation back then?" Lu Li asked, turning his head.
"Understand a little, when Li Xiaoting was alive, the human race was united, but since Li Xiaoting's life was approaching and after the death, people's hearts have slowly floated, and with the expansion of human territory, they all have the intention of tearing the earth and sealing the marquis to secretly preserve their strength. ”
"When the soldiers advanced to the old capital, in the face of such a city wall, many people would definitely die, so in the end, the major blood soul forces retreated, which allowed the mutants to continue to occupy the old capital for so many years. ”
Lu Li had never experienced that tragic history, and it was inconvenient to make any evaluation, so he just sighed: "What if it is delayed until today? After all, we will have to pay a huge price." ”
Cui Yixun shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily. Back then, the major forces were indeed selfish and didn't want to consume their own strength, so they didn't conquer this old capital in one go, but they also left behind. ”
After speaking, he pointed to the ancient capital in the distance, and continued: "It is besieged on three sides, but only the north side has not sent troops to garrison, just to force the remnants of the mutant forces in the old capital to withdraw from the capital on their own initiative...... At that time, this old capital will not be attacked. ”
"Does it work?" Lu Li asked.
"I don't know, there should be......" Cui Nan said loudly, "According to the information I got at the time, but a large number of mutants fled the capital from the north......"
"But what about now? They may have come back again. Lu Li said suddenly.
Cui Nan shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be possible, although there is no large army stationed in the north, there are also a lot of scouts, according to the feedback information of the scouts over the years, very few mutants go south and enter the old capital again, and most of them flee from the old capital to the north." ”
"And in recent decades, it has been difficult to see mutants on the walls of the old capital, and it has almost become a dead city. ”
Lu Li asked, "In this case, the old capital has basically become an empty city?"
Cui Nan stopped talking, smashed his mouth, Fu Shi's head tilted, and said uncertainly: "It should be about the same, even if it is not an empty city, there must not be many mutants." ”
Lu Li sighed and said, "The IQ of mutants is not lower than ours, have you ever thought that mutants may use tricks to hide from the world again." ”
"What are you hiding from the world?" Cui Nan was stunned.
"On the surface, it misled us and created the illusion that they had fled from the old capital, but in fact, they were secretly soldiers!"
Hearing Lu Li's words, the people around him were shocked, Cui Nan was stunned for a while, and muttered: "Can't it? Obviously it has become a lonely city, what's the use of increasing troops? Isn't this sending you to death?"
"Nothing is impossible, if the mutants will definitely flee the old capital in panic for the first period of time when the soldiers are besieging the old capital, but after a while, after seeing that the humans have not moved, it is very likely to re-enter the old capital. Lu Li said, "If it were me, I would definitely do this, this is a good opportunity to make a comeback." ”
Cui Nan's round face, which was as rich as a businessman, was almost wrinkled, and he said in a low voice: "It shouldn't be, over the years, all major forces have sent scouts to patrol the north in turn, and very few mutants have gone south. ”
"No more, ten mutants enter the old capital every day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, how much is it for so many years?" Lu Li asked.
Cui Nan's face froze.
Lu Li spoke again: "Besides, there must be more than enough people who sneak into the old capital every day, especially at night, unless a human wall is built, it is useless to be responsible for more scouts." ”
Mutants have night vision, but humans have black eyes in the dark, how can they monitor everything.
Cui Nan's face was shocked and uncertain, he didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something, Duanmu Lie on the side spoke, and said: "At the beginning, the major forces united forces to surround the old capital, but I didn't think that it would take so long. At that time, it was just a stopgap measure, and I planned to launch a general attack after a year and a half, and when the mutants had almost fled, I would launch a general attack and recover the old capital in one fell swoop. ”
"Then why has it dragged on for so many years?" Qiao Shan asked.
"Alas, it's still the same sentence, this person, once he breeds ambitions, it is difficult to unite as one, each blood soul force has its own wishful thinking, only thinking about how to consolidate and expand its own territory, and it can take care of mutants......"
Lu Li sighed secretly, and said in his heart: Sure enough, I'll just say, but anyone with a little IQ will never be stupid enough to give mutants so many years of respite.
Then he frowned and said, "Then why did you suddenly decide to take over the old capital now?"
"I'll explain that. Cui Nan sighed and took over the words, "It was a year ago, a team of scouts quietly approached the gate of the old capital, and found that the city gate was not closed, so they dared to sneak in, and there was an amazing discovery, a huge treasure!"
"A steady stream of hedrons formed a hill in the middle of the city from far within a mine...... It is safe to say that there is a huge source energy crystal mine in the capital. ”
And the spars produced have been piled up into a small mountain, this temptation, even if Lu Li heard it, he couldn't help but be moved, no wonder the major blood soul forces were so determined this time.
"That group of scouts sneaked into the middle of the city so easily, and didn't encounter any mutants?" Lu Li wondered.
Cui Nan shook his head and said, "No, when I went in, according to what they said, all the mutants gathered in the center of the city, and there were hundreds of thousands of mutants carrying and sorting out the source energy spar, it seemed that they were going to transport it away quietly, but in the end they were discovered, nearly thirty scouts, and only two escaped...... )
