Chapter 473: Chaos

After careful experience, Baiwei Long Kun could feel a trace of warmth from the night wind.

Located in the desert to the west of Xiaoyaohai, more than ten days away from the nearest border stronghold, Liucheng, the life-saving spring is the only water source on the channel, and its location is important.

Fifty dragon soldiers were stationed here, under the command of a hundred lieutenants.

Hundred Captain Long Kun is a swordsman in the Great Snow Mountain, and three days ago, he received a secret order asking him to be vigilant, and the people of Jinpeng Fort could attack him at any time.

Since then, he has been on high alert, personally on duty every night.

For three days, nothing had happened, and the scouts sent out had returned in vain, without finding any signs of an enemy attack.

But tonight is a little different, I don't know why, Long Kun is nervous like never before, and his hairs stand on end, as if there is an invisible killer hidden in the air around him.

This could be because the dark and windy nights are best for the killer operation, or it could be because he has slept too little for a few days.

He stared at the small spring below the watchtower, and tapped it lightly on the wall with a small iron mallet, and although the wind roared, the soldiers guarding below should be able to hear the code.

After a few moments, the same knocking sound could be heard through the wall.

The time has come.

Long Kun picked up a piece of ** thing beside him, and threw it at the spring without hesitation, while holding the heavy sword standing on the wall, and shouted loudly: "Assemble, assemble......"

The Golden Wings Killer has finally arrived, and he has killed less than a single sentry.

When a person on a watchtower knocks on a wall, the people below should respond by colliding with their weapons, not the same knock.

Long Kun had received a strict order from the Dragon King, so he didn't plan to confront the killer, he shouted "assemble" in his mouth, but the soldiers all understood that this meant to retreat immediately.

The killers showed up early, but they were too few to stop dozens of well-trained soldiers, who were tasked with poisoning the spring and then fleeing in the direction of Liucheng.

The wind and the night, which were friends of the killer, became cover for the escapees.

Liucheng is located on the border of Huiguo, and is the only dangerous pass in the western part of Xiaoyaohai, with 1,500 dragon troops in charge of guarding it, and the commander is Wu Zongheng, the deputy commander of the army.

Wu Zongheng is a native of Anguo, who turned out to be just a small leader of the capital guards, and was entrusted with the important task of guarding the western border of the Xiaoyao Sea by the Dragon King.

He was a little nervous in his heart, afraid that the army of Jinpeng Castle would be fierce, and even more afraid that he would disappoint the Dragon King.

When a soldier hurriedly ran in and reported that sand and dust were being raised outside the city, Wu Zongheng's nervousness suddenly disappeared, and he immediately strode out, while issuing a series of orders.

The person who came was not the Jinpeng Army, but a team of outpost soldiers, who were dusty and dusty, and it seemed that they had not rested much along the way.

"The killer is coming, and the spring water has been poisoned. Baiwei Long Kun calmly reported the situation.

The little willow city is busy.

Long Kun and the others arrived only one step ahead of the enemy army, and in the evening of the same day, the desert outside the city raised a larger scale of sand and dust, and when the dust settled, an army of thousands of people was revealed.

The appearance of the regular army of Jinpeng Fort marked the beginning of the war, when the snow in the last winter had not yet melted, and the sea was just right for ferries.

Two or three days away, the capital of Huiguo was in chaos, but the newly enthroned King Hui made up his final decision.

The news of the battle on the border had reached here, and although the defenders of Liucheng had successfully resisted the first round of enemy attacks, everyone knew that sooner or later the dragon army would have to cross the sea south, and Huiguo would once again face the danger of besieging the city.

King Hui held the invitation letter of the Dragon King in his hand, and in the letter he asked him to take a boat to Anguo as soon as possible in a commanding tone.

The young King Hui almost lost his current throne, and it was with the direct help of the Dragon King that he was able to escape the scourge of death and reclaim the inheritance from the queen and his younger brother.

But as the king of a nation, ingratitude is a must.

"Close the gates of the city, put martial law on the whole city, and go and convey my will to the soldiers defending the city: for three days they will be free to leave, and after three days, those who remain can only obey the orders of King Hui. ”

The aging prime minister used to be a member of the queen's party, and long before the queen was killed, he had already turned around and personally went out of the city to welcome the prince's return to the country hundreds of miles away.

"Your Majesty is wise, Huiguo should never be tied to the Dragon King, and I heard that King Sha and King Kang will not cross south. ”

King Hui made a decision, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, he couldn't forget that he had a younger brother who was detained in the dragon camp, and the dragon king could support a new King Hui at any time.

The old prime minister understood King Hui's worries, "Your Majesty, although rest assured, I heard that the little prince participated in the mutiny, and the Dragon King was about to kill him, even if he didn't kill him, the army of Jinpeng Fort would not show mercy, I got the news that King Dubu was ruthless this time, and those who followed the Dragon King would be killed." ”

"You got the news?" Hui Wang understood that the old fox had already taken the lead.

"Your Majesty, I am all for the sake of Huiguo, the Dragon Army will undoubtedly be defeated, Huiguo must see the situation clearly, stand on the side of the strong, and not do senseless battles. ”

King Hui waved his hand impatiently, he understood all these great truths, could it be that he couldn't see who was strong and who was weak? When he returned to his country from Shi Guo to inherit the throne, the dragon army was still scattered, with this impression, he was even more sure that the winner would be the king of Dubu.

"Go and tell your friend that I'm going to negotiate. ”

"Yes. The old prime minister bowed back, with a flattering smile on his wrinkled face, and there was no negotiation with Jinpeng Castle, he thought, the so-called negotiation was just another way of saying surrender.

King Hui had already made up his mind, and from here to the east, a family in the Sand Kingdom was still hesitating.

Both sons have enlisted in the Dragon Army, leaving an old husband and wife, a daughter, two daughters-in-law and five grandchildren in the family.

"What should I do, to go or not to go?" the old woman had been nagging all day, but still had not received an answer from her husband.

The old man squatted sullenly on the ground, bowed his head in contemplation, and listened to his wife's words.

"I heard that someone's house on Front Street was robbed last night, and there were also people in his family who were soldiers, and the robbers used the banner of Jinpeng Castle to say that they would not let their son escape from the Dragon Army, and they would kill the whole family in the future. ”

"I know. The old man replied in a gruff voice.

The news that the entire dragon army was going to cross south had already spread, which caused a great schism in the whole Xiaoyao.

Some people have therefore concluded that the dragon army is vulnerable and will retreat to the land of incense sooner or later, and will never be able to return to the Western Regions, and this is the best time to take advantage of the fire to rob and curry favor with Jinpeng Castle.

As a result, from the countryside to the capital, there were new bandits everywhere, rampant, no matter how hard the dragon army tried, there were still a large number of middle-aged men in various countries who avoided conscription, and it was these people who temporarily changed careers and became the main force of bandits.

And those who dared to associate with the dragon army, or who had men in their families to enlist in the army, were all plundered and threatened.

However, it was for this reason that many of the disturbed people decided to follow the dragon king to the south, and some families had already migrated even before this, traveling thousands of miles to the land promised by the dragon king.

The old man hesitated because he still had a lot of industries in Saudi Arabia.

"Why do those two fools want to be soldiers?" said the old man angrily.

"Is that what they want?" the old woman was also angry, "The king sent soldiers, our family was unlucky, and you refused to pay, saying that the dragon king would not last long, and he would soon run away, and his son could walk home by himself, do you think they are family dogs?"

The more the old woman spoke, the more angry she became, and the old man stood up abruptly and yelled, "Okay, I'll go to the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask him for help......"

"The prime minister himself is difficult to protect, and the housekeeper is in charge of a fart?"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say?"

"Anyway, where is the son, our whole family should follow. ”

"That's why I said they were stupid, and they shouldn't be deserters at this time?"

The two argued, and the teenage daughter ran in in a panic, "Oh no, no, no, someone posted this on our door." ”

It was a blank piece of paper, with four big characters written on it, and the old couple stared at it for a long time, and no one could read or write.

The six- or seven-year-old grandson ran over to show off his achievements in the school, and read aloud: "The dragon king must die, the dragon king must die, hehe, I know it all." ”

The old man's face turned white, and his family was also targeted, "Pack up your things and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Even if there is more property, it is not as important as the life of the whole family, as the head of the family, the old man can only make a painful decision, "Damn, after the free sea, I have to ask the Dragon King, my whole family has followed him, who will compensate for these losses." ”

There are many people who are not interested in compensation or even profits.

Further east is the capital of Kangguo, where the shopkeeper of the rice noodle shop politely received several Dragon Army soldiers, no matter whether the other party was reasoning or threatening, there was only one answer, "No, it's really gone, you see, the rice bowl noodle bags are all empty." ”

The soldiers knew that the shopkeeper was panicking, and they had heard rumors that the Meng clan in Biyu City had promised that all merchants who refused to do business with the dragon army would be compensated twice as much after the war, otherwise, they would never want to have anything to do with the Meng clan's money and merchants.

Jinpeng Fort and Meng's have been operating in Xiaoyaohai for many years, and they were careless and were taken away by the Dragon King, but the foundation is still there, especially Meng's, which has a huge impact on many merchants.

If it weren't for the Dragon King's order, the soldiers really wanted to set fire to the whole street, and they ran around all day, and they didn't even buy a grain of rice, which was worse than the screaming on the street.

"Go slowly, don't send it, you come back tomorrow, maybe it's in stock again." "What the shopkeeper said was all clichΓ©s, but it sounded like sarcasm.

Walking down the street, the soldier felt a faint hostility coming from the shops on both sides, and only one shopkeeper kindly whispered when the soldier passed by, "You still don't want to run? King Kang wants to avenge the prince." ”

The soldiers didn't want to leave immediately, but the garrison in the capital of Kangguo was waiting for orders.

Crossing the sea in the south is not a simple matter, and it has to be carried out in batches.

There are a total of five ports on the northern shore of the Xiaoyao Sea, and they are now in full swing, with countless ships traveling around the clock to and fro to transport supplies and people.

The easternmost port is located in the territory of Shiguo.

Shi Guo decided to follow the dragon king with the largest number of people, so the port was also the most crowded, and it was busy for many days, so that less than half of the people left the port, but at this time, it was rumored that the vanguard army of Jinpeng Fort had arrived at the border.

"Don't be afraid, the Dragon King is still in the north. This is the only consolation for the people.
