6. The Decisive Battle of the Wild Sand Chapter 425 Sky Lantern
Bald Blue, Red, and Jommy waited in prison for days, and Cynthia finally returned.
"If you don't show up again, we really suspect that you were kidnapped and sacrificed by the demons." Bald Blue joked.
Cynthia looked at several people with a serious expression, "Believe it or not, we may have to witness a change in history." ”
Red complained nonchalantly, "We have witnessed the death of the Emperor of the Wild Sands and the change of ownership of the Imperial City, and the changes of history are as normal in front of us as eating and drinking. ”
Cynthia glanced at him, "What kind of 'change' is that, to show you something." As she spoke, she pulled out a thick booklet from her pocket. I saw that the title was written on the cover: "The Strategy for the Founding of the People's Republic of China".
Such a magnificent title aroused the interest of several people, and when the catalogue was opened, the first thing to do was a map of the Red Pavilion. After a few pages of hastily reading, the book planned a series of industrial constructions such as transportation, city, industry, mining, and port in the entire Red Pavilion.
"I'm afraid this is a confidential document of the Red Pavilion, right?" Red's hand was already shaking as he turned the pages, "Where did you steal this thing from?" ”
"Bought it." Cynthia glared at him, "I'm a knight anyway, how can I do stealing?" The princess gave me a copy, and I left it to the master of the deadwood door. On the way back, I thought about the contents of the book again, so I stopped by and bought a copy. ”
Red flipped a few more pages in disbelief, "This ...... How can this be something that can be bought? This should be the only book that can only be read by the royal family......"
Qiao Mei complained, "It's just a book, seeing that you are panicked like this, are you still a knight?" ”
Red rolled her eyes, "Look at what is said in this book: the foundation of the Red Pavilion lies in transportation, and it will take 10 years to build three horizontal, three vertical and nine railways to connect the coastal, inland and frontier of the Red Pavilion, and cooperate with the highway to build an effective transportation network......
Several of them were generals, and they knew very well what transportation meant. Many years ago, the Wild Sand Empire also envisioned building roads, but even the official roads between the Imperial City and the various lords' castles could not be built, let alone other roads.
Probably seeing that Qiao Mei was still not convinced, Red turned a few more pages: "Build two major ports in Chishuiwan and Gray Stone Gang, open up the northern route of black steel, imperial power, and secret law, and the southern route of ice and snow, and Shenwei Empire, and carry out trade activities......"
Bald Blue gasped, "Gray Stone Gang is on the other side of the strait on Demon Island, and it is still in the hands of the Demon Clan. What kind of place do they want to build a port? ”
"You're not stupid." Cynthia lowered her eyebrows and snorted at him, "At that time, the Red Pavilion has already bulldozed the entire Demon Clan, where is there any 'Demon Island'?" Maybe the whole thing was blown up and sunk by the Red Pavilion. ”
Red flipped a few more pages: "Urban construction should be done in such a way as to distinguish between industrial, agricultural, commercial, and residential areas. With public service facilities as the core, radiating commercial and residential; Construction of high-speed roads connecting industrial and agricultural land. In terms of 'blocks', we replicate mature urban planning. ”
Hearing this, Qiao Mei had to nod in agreement, "When I went out to visit this time, I have to admit that the city of the Red Pavilion is more practical and beautiful than the one we lived in before." ”
"Come and see here, it's exciting." Red suddenly turned to a page and stopped, "...... In addition to the construction of water canals, a canal can be built from the north of the crimson leaf forest, diagonally through the whole territory, through the abandoned capital, from the southeast into the sea. It can meet the needs of desert irrigation, and can also provide shipping services. ”
Qiao Mei and Blue couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm afraid the Red Pavilion is not crazy, digging a canal in the desert, is this possible?" ”
"They can turn the desert back into an oasis, and what's impossible." The Black Mamba walked behind them. She had locked herself in her room for many days, but today she came out for some reason, and she was dressed in a neat military uniform.
Several people looked up at her suspiciously: "General Black Mamba, what are you going to do here?" ”
"Teach." She replied calmly.
"Teaching?" Several people looked at her suspiciously, their mouths so big that they could fit into a fist.
"Yes, teaching." Nick walked over with a grin, "I was also forced to have no choice but to ask Miss Layla to appear." ”
The Black Mamba glanced at him, "Do you have a time when you can't help it?" ”
Nick said with a smile, "There are too many officers promoted in the Red Pavilion, and although many officers are good at combat, they are seriously lacking in military knowledge and skills. Before the princess left, I asked me to set up a military academy, and I had to go to the instructor - where did I go to become an instructor? I can only ask you to come to the rescue. ”
Having said that, the Black Mamba was still a little hesitant: "The master of the Red Pavilion has clever tactics and unpredictable ghosts; The princess of guns and fire is strict in governing the army, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. Why do I have to do these things, a prisoner? ”
Nick spread his hands, "Don't laugh, the general doesn't like to talk, it's really difficult for him to give a lecture." As for Her Royal Highness the Princess, I also asked this question when she left. ”
He looked at the Black Mamba helplessly, "The princess said: Before she met the Red Pavilion, she had lost so many battles. The experience of being a prisoner is far greater than the experience of victory, and if she were to teach the experience of surrender one day, she would have gone out herself. ”
The Black Mamba still seems to be skeptical: "That...... What about you? ”
Nick smiled, "Me? But relying on a little shameless cleverness, not letting the demon cut off his head is already favored by the goddess of luck. Let people like me instruct them in the regular fighting style of their group army, it will really cost me my life. ”
Seeing Nick lead the Black Mamba away slowly, Red let out a faint sigh, "To have such an amazing plan, but to put down the pride of the winner and listen to the guidance of the loser." This is not something that the average organization can do. ”
……
In front of the Wild Sand Temple, the soldiers of the Red Pavilion had already surrounded the temple. However, the prince of Babu had already dug a ravine and built a city wall. Two thousand princely guards and tens of thousands of demon soldiers patrolled the city walls day and night.
"It's really a nuisance that the demon lackeys don't come out." The young man looked at the full defenses on the Wild Sand Temple and felt inexplicably anxious, "That 'Protector Archmage' must take advantage of this time to keep refining demons in order to expand his combat power." ”
Fili and Danica walked into the central tent and saluted Lydia and Buxiao, "Your Highness Princess, the catapults have all been deployed and are aimed at the city walls. ”
Lydia was leaning over the map in front of a smile, and when she heard the report, she marked the range of the catapult on the map, "Good job, let the soldiers rest well tonight, we have something big to do at night." ”
At night, a sparkling fire suddenly floated above Lydia's barracks.
"What are the thugs in the Red Pavilion doing?" When the soldiers shouted at him, he was very unhappy, after all, no matter who was called out of the bed in the temperature of minus a few degrees in the desert, he would not have a good temper.
"Nothing new." Standing at the head of the city, the Shadow of the Night watched coldly as the firelight on the opposite side slowly converged into a bright stream of light, "It's just some sky lanterns." ”
"Is that the 'sky lantern' you used to make your wishes in your previous life?" Wrapped in a heavy cloak, Tsukihime also stepped on the city wall.
"Yes, that's a way for us to pray for blessings." Magician seemed to remember his past life and sighed, "On that festival, we would place a lantern in the water and let it drift with the waves, which was called 'water lantern', and what flew in the sky was 'sky lantern'. ”
I saw that in the black night sky, the dense sky lanterns emitted warm yellow sparks, swaying and rising one by one, slowly drifting in the air with the breeze. A gorgeous Milky Way appeared in the night sky, streaking across the Temple of Wild Sands.
"There are no such boring customs in my country." Nightshadow snorted, turned to Tsukihime, and asked, "Aren't you going to take care of General Darius?" ”
Tsukihime smiled at the two of them, "Thank you two for taking care of you, thanks to the heart of that triceratops dragon, General Darius is sleeping peacefully." It's just a pity that his body ...... Now I'm taking care of him alone, and I'm a little overwhelmed. ”
"It's just a temporary measure." Demon Star gave a salute to Tsukihime with his staff, "When I return to Demon Island, I will be able to use the materials in the laboratory to create a normal human body for him." ”
Tsukihime bowed and said, "I'm bothering you." ”
Demon Xingxing hurriedly said that this should be done, after all, Tsukihime is the daughter of the Demon Lord, and this necessary sycophant still has to be patted.
"Alas...... Isn't it a little strange that you say that the Red Pavilion suddenly prays for blessings in the middle of the night? Nightshade suddenly asked, "Maybe they want to pass on some information?" ”
"Or maybe it's just a bluff, or trying to draw our attention to something useless?" Tsukihime also guessed.
The Demon Night Shadow snorted contemptuously, "Maybe it's like the old immortal said, it's a ritual like praying for blessings." Maybe something big happened in their army. ”
"If it's a big deal, that's not bad." Demon Star suddenly laughed, "If there is something important in their army, it will be even better. ”
The demonic star's mocking words were still lingering on the city wall, and a series of "dong, da" sounds suddenly sounded around him.
The sound is getting faster and denser.
"What?!" The Magic Star looked around in a panic, it was a small black iron ball, reflecting a dangerous light in the moonlight. And there is a fuse at its tail that is about to burn out, and it is smoking.
"It's a bomb!" Nightshade yelled, "Hide! ”
As soon as the words fell, an explosion sounded instantly, and the strong shock wave made the city walls tremble. Dust and debris flew through the air, and the Alien Star was tossed to the ground by the wave of air. The demon soldiers around him were blown to pieces, and screams of terror echoed in the night sky.
In a panic, they hurriedly looked for cover, and the sound of the explosion became extremely harsh and dense at this moment. The demon soldiers on the city walls were scattered and fled, helpless. The entire city wall was instantly enveloped in the flames and smoke of the explosion.
"What's going on?" Nightshade scrambled to his rise from a pile of rubble.
"These explosive balls are ......" Demonic Star was about to say something, but before he could finish speaking, another explosive ball exploded in their place. With a bang, Tsukihime's hair and cloak were scorched by the flames, and she hurriedly fled from the city wall.
