Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

"Several big ships came from Xiawan, and there was a big businessman inside who insisted on seeing you, so he sent someone to send a message to ask what you mean?"

merchant?What other big businessmen do I know?Haiwen said suspiciously: "If it's a businessman, you should ask him to come to see me. There are so many things in my castle that I can't leave."

Manager Nader smiled wryly, and said: "The person who sent the message said that this merchant has a ship in the port, and he will spend an extra day for one day of stay. If there is a delay, you will have to pay for the delay!"

Hai Wen smiled and said, "Who is it? What a big tone! Where did it come from, what's it called?"

"Oh, this man is from Mid Valley Wine City, he claims to be the king of Rotten Flesh, and his full name is—"

"Dreyer?" Haven stood up abruptly.

"Yes, it's 'Drell Hanslock'!" Nader asked, "Why, do you know him?"

"It's more than just acquaintance," Haiwen smiled wryly. "I'm going to Xiawan early tomorrow morning. I want to see what this guy has become."

Chapter No.16: Stalemate, [-]

The little king's hand holding the secret letter trembled slightly.

This must not be seen by them, the King thought, and if it gets out, it will be troublesome.

There are four large characters on the secret letter, written urgently in red pen:

Wolf City is in a hurry!

The little king looked at the secret letter and sneered in his heart: I finally know where the Valley Allied Forces went. It turned out that they fought back and went to Wolf City.Apparently, Jiuguang Flowers betrayed the valley and hacked Duke Klaus to death with a backhand.

Klaus' death is a good thing in the long run, but a disaster in the short run.Now that the valley has lost its owner, the whole scene is out of control. The fierce demons, the descendants of the sea god and the believers of the night god are besieging Wolf City.

As the economic and political center of the Central Plains, Wolf City can recruit [-] soldiers and can withstand a protracted war.But there is one disadvantage of Wolf City, which is its geographical location.This city is a rare "easy to attack but difficult to defend".

This is not because attacking a city is easier than defending a city—siege cannot be easier than defending a city—but because Wolf City is harder to defend than ordinary cities, and relatively easier to capture.

The reason for this is: Wolf City is too big.

The city has no castle, it is made up of huge moats, high walls, and palaces.It's okay if there are enough troops, but if there are not enough troops, the soldiers will not be able to defend in all directions.Moreover, guarding such a large city is a test of the commander's ability.The best commander is the Duke of Wolf City. Now that he is captured, who else can guard Wolf City?Even if there were people who could defend it, how could the enemy, the Duke of Wolf City and a group of wolf cubs be held hostage, how could the city be defended?

On the other hand, the huge wolf city devours all resources like a hungry monster. The reason why wolf city is so big is that it is sucking blood from the surrounding cities. Will soon fall.

The most frightening thing is that the Duke of Wolf City is gone, so there will be many voices in Wolf City.Some people fight, some people surrender, maybe this majestic city will eventually die of internal abscesses.

Wolf City will not be defeated in a day, but the longer it persists, the more dangerous Wolf City will be.At this time, the guard of Wolf City sent an urgent report, asking for support from Eagle Head City.

Support is impossible. The little king took a sip of strawberry milk, and the little trident stopped in the middle. What can I do to support you?What's more, if Eagle Head City sends troops to support, who will guard the castle?

The little king stood alone in front of the map, trying to deduce the future situation.

The battlefield is now divided into two parts, the north and the south, centered on the Acropolis. Looking at the northern battlefield from north to south, they are Eagle Head City, Exlid, Sand Scorpion Panaf and Duke Bullland, followed by The big knights will be the rangers, then the northern two guards and the small trident.

The southern battlefield is the battle between Wolf City and Wine City.

If you want to send troops from Eagle Head City, you must pass by the Northern Guards, that is, you must pass by the Little Trident.

It is useless without support, and at least 5 people must be dispatched to support.But 5 people walked over mightily, with infantry, cavalry, food and supplies, what would happen if the little trident took a bite?

Bagu Kahn is currently attacking the Eastern Acropolis, but he is not attacking by force, he is just exhausted.In fact, it would be fine if he made a strong attack. If the timing of his strong attack is right, the Great Knights Association and the Western Acropolis Army can give him a backstab and defeat the overlord in one fell swoop.Taking a step back, it doesn't matter if he really takes down the East Guard City, then we won't be afraid of him running around, and send a hundred thousand soldiers to besiege the city and trap this guy to death.

But he stood outside the city, did not fight or leave, and ordered the rangers to plunder, investigate and guard around, which was troublesome.Eagle Head City's reinforcements were likely to be intercepted by him. The reinforcements were mainly infantry, and they had to travel long distances with luggage. However, most of the Little Trident's men were cavalry, and the speed difference was too great.

If I want to reinforce Wolf City, I must first defeat the Little Trident.But on the frontal battlefield, who is his opponent?

Bullland may be able to, but he is the last duke who is loyal to me. He is gone, and there are only two outsiders outside my Eagle Head City: Exlid and Sand Scorpion Panav.These two people eat dogs, I can sit back and relax, but it is impossible to expect them to obey my orders.

Do I really need to release Dragon Slaying Knight?

No, if he comes out, there will be no place for me in Eagle Head City.Slaying the dragon is not necessarily, but it is certain to slay the king.

The little king thought hard, but couldn't find a way to break the situation.

At this time, another urgent report came from the front line, this time it was a big white pigeon.According to divination, doves are more auspicious than crows, and the king expected this time to be good news.He opened the letter and read it. After reading a few lines, he nodded and said, "It's really good news."

It turned out that the little knight had made a meritorious service.

***************************

Bow Kahn has been very irritable recently.

For one thing, the city is impenetrable for a long time, and Lan Zuo is as unhurried as he is studying in the library.Shoot two shots today, throw three stones tomorrow, and occasionally line up some people to call for battle.According to Lan Tie's statement: Now the northerners are more anxious than us.

But Bugu was more anxious than the northerners, because there were reports that his luggage had been burned.

This is already the third fire, and it can be determined that someone set the fire on purpose.But so far no criminals have been caught.Some said it was an inner ghost, some said it was a surprise attack by the enemy, and some said it was a rocket from the sky that ignited the food and grass.

Bagu asked his confidants to inquire, and the warrior Karen brought dozens of elites to arrest the prisoner, but there was no news after three days.Ba Gu became annoyed, and thought to himself: Should I go and catch the thief myself?

Forget it, I can trust Karen, that samurai has never let me down.

Ba Gu trusted his subordinates very much, but he did not expect that Karen came back injured that night. "Your Majesty, this subordinate is incompetent." The warrior knelt on one knee, "Failed to catch an arsonist."

Bagu said, "Get up first, and tell me what's going on."

Karen stood up and said: "After searching, I found that there was a group of rangers outside the northern camp. These people hid in the woods, came out day and night, and attacked our rear supplies."

The people from the Great Knights finally came? "How many people are there?" Ba Gu was a little excited.

"Twenty or so."

"Damn it! Twenty? Only twenty?" Ba stomped his feet stiffly, "Twenty people, including the horses, were all butchered without a few pieces of meat. For these people, why should I go out myself? ?”

Karen replied: "Your Majesty, please give me another chance. I am willing to capture this prisoner again."

Ba Gu said, "You haven't said how you got hurt."

Karen said: "It was cut by the leading knight."

oh?Can Karen be hurt?Bagu became interested.

impasse two

Karen is a first-class swordsman among the Murphys, and he still learned many swordsmanship moves from him.In the past, this man from the North and the Sea had never lost a single battle against swordsmen from all walks of life. No one could defeat him except Baku Kahn.But even if Bugu won, he also won by relying on his strength. In terms of moves, he is not as good as Karen.

Ba Gu asked him: "Could it be that his swordsmanship is better than yours?"

Hearing this, Karen immediately shouted: "No! It's just that he is very good at riding, and I can't use my strength on the horse."

"Oh, he's a knight after all." Bagu murmured, and then he said to the orderly, "Call Higgs."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The orderly went out to deliver the order, and a moment later, a young knight walked in.

"Your Majesty, are you calling me?"

It was a young knight with short hair.He was wearing black armor with a saber around his waist, and his eyes were fierce.This man was originally a general under Hassan Heron, but after he was captured by Ba Gu, he was recruited.No one in the army is more familiar with knight affairs than he, so Bugu entrusted this matter to him.

Hegson immediately said after hearing the information: "Your Majesty, it was Slen Mulister who did it. He is the adopted son of Hassan Heron. Hassan Heron is good at three tactics: siege, assault, and guerrilla. His three generals have also learned his skills. Veteran Valto is good at siege, I am good at assault, and his adopted son Slen Mulister is good at guerrilla. Slen's rangers are very powerful, and they have good horses , strong bows and gunpowder, every battle will go deep into the enemy's rear and burn the enemy's food and grass."

"Can you handle him?"

"Yes. I know him."

"Then you go, let you do it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After speaking, Hegson left the tent.

The samurai Karen watched the man leave, and then he turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Hegson to take on the important task once he surrenders."

Ba Gu shook his head and said, "Why do you think he surrendered?"

"It's because your Majesty has the courage of a king, and this courage has convinced him."

"Not only that,"

"Hassan Heron is talented, cunning, and ruthless, but he has no charisma. He is an egoist, he is nepotism, and he never thinks about his subordinates. Not only him, but the northerners are like this today, little The same is true for kings. They have no brains and courage, and can't tell who can use and who can't, let alone who is an enemy and who is a friend." Ba Gu smiled, "But I am different, Karen. I dare to use people , anyone dares to use it, as long as you have the ability and want to do great things, I will recruit you in. You are like this, sour eyes and little giants are like this, and Hegson is like this.” But Lan Zuo is not like this, he thought.

"Your Majesty, of course you are different from them."

Bagu took a sip of his wine, shook his glass, and said, "It's a pity that Bien Lastor, that old man is still a man. By the way, I said that I want to send him back to the North with dignity. What's the matter with this?" How is it?"

"The prime minister sent someone to do it."

"Well, good." Bagu thought for a moment, and said, "Bean also has a son, named...Kan Zhuen?"

Karen frowned slightly, and said, "You mean Dragon Slaying Knight, Candine Lastor?"

"Well, it's him."

"He is still locked in the Babel Tower."

"Yes, but I think it's time to release it." Ba Gu stood up from his seat, and he walked outside the tent. He heard a sound of killing and the roar of stones in the distance. East Acropolis.

"I want to fight the Dragon Slaying Knight." He said to himself, "Lan Zu told me that the only opponent in the northern border is the Dragon Slaying Knight. I think I will meet him."

Karen said, "Dragon Knight? Haha, I want to fight him too."

Ba Gu smiled and said: "If you can kill him, then you will be the number one warrior in the world. I will make you the lord of the Murphys and tell you to go back and honor your ancestors."

Hearing Guangzong Yaozu's words, Karen stopped talking.Bagu asked him, "What's the matter? Don't you want to go home?"

"The Morpheus warriors don't know the lord and the king now, they only know Media (that is, the meaning of the master), there are 100 Media for a hundred warriors. There has been no great swordsman in [-] years, no one He can lead a group of giants. Now every Mediay wants to be a lord and fights every day. Not only do they win over the nobles, but they also instigate the slaves to rebel, and the land of Murphys is already in disarray."

Ba Gu asked him: "Can't you become the great swordsman who leads the heroes?"

"I do not want."

Ba Gu nodded and didn't continue to ask him.At this time, Ba Gu remembered what Lan Zu said before: the slave liberation movement is on the rise.If this era is going to come, then we must adapt to this trend.

Fuck your mother's trend, Bagu thought, when I wipe out the northerners, I'll kill all of you rebels!

At this time, the artillery fire ceased, and it seemed that Lan Chu had completed another "siege".

Lan Chu is really not in a hurry. This guy throws stones and fires cannons every day. In the rest of the time, he asks people to forge arrows and shells, build mounds and wooden platforms, dig traps and build tunnels.Bugu knew that it was strategic for Lan Zuo to do so, but this did not conform to Bugu Kahn's art of war.

The word art doesn't seem to be suitable for this Overlord, but he does have a unique battlefield art and war aesthetics.Because of this, Ba Gu loves fighting—he loves to kill and also loves to be injured. He wants to destroy the most powerful enemy in the most direct way on the frontal battlefield. He wants to defeat the enemy's body and courage.Although he often wins, he also knows that he will decline one day.He only hoped that he would die dignifiedly, on the battlefield, if so, then he would die without regret.

But Lan Chu is not, his battlefield art is like a game, he likes to play tricks on the enemy, even if he has the upper hand, he will not attack easily, he has to wait until the teasing is enough, and then he will trample the enemy to death, so that the enemy dies without a trace dignity.

Ba Gu doesn't like his approach, because giving dignity to the enemy is also fulfilling his own dignity.But there is nothing wrong with Lan Xi's doing so.

Lan Chu had called for gold to withdraw his troops, and after a while, the white feather prince returned to the big tent.He gave a symbolic salute to the king, and Ba Gu waved his hand, meaning to say no.After that, Lan Zuo took off his gloves, wiped the sweat off his face with a white towel, and then put on a clean coat and a new pair of boots.After dressing up, he said to the king:

"Your Majesty, I have found out about the movements of the Great Knights, and they are coming soon."

"It's time to come." Ba Gu stood up, "I'll take someone to clean them up."

"No, Your Majesty, leave those guys to me."

"Then what am I doing?"

"I want you to go deep behind the enemy lines to find Sand Scorpion Panaf. People in the Western Regions have been instigated by the Sea God Sect, but the northerners don't know about it. Now he has arrived in Eagle Head City. Next, Sand Scorpion will fight Duke Bullland , you are going to help him."

Ba Gu glared at him and asked, "How many people do I bring?"

"Eight hundred, you took too many, I just don't have enough." Lan Qiao said.

"Little bastard, I think you are most like the one who wants to rebel." Ba Gu smiled, "You want me to take [-] cavalry to fight against the [-] army in the north?"

"Yes, only you can do it, Your Majesty the King! Go ahead and be pierced into the throat of the northerners by the Sea God's Fork, and write the miracle of the overlord and the triumphant song of the hero!" Lan Zuo bowed deeply, "This In the first battle, I will advance and retreat with you, live and die together, if you die in battle, I will not live alone."

Chapter No.17: Flowers and Dragons, [-]

Chapter No.17: Flowers and Dragons, [-]

The mountains and fields are beautiful, and the spring flowers are brilliant.

The dragon-slaying warriors moved forward slowly with flowers flowing all over the mountains and plains.Adora, Silver Fox Ranger, Hyacinth, Balut, Gray Horn, Sean, the six of them didn't speak much, they just walked step by step.After walking for more than ten minutes, Balut would complain: "In Balut's opinion, we can't do this. The dragon is not poisoned, and it is alive and kicking. How can we kill it?"

Hyacinth thought to himself: He is right, the original plan has been disrupted long ago.

In the original plan, Adora needed to poison the dragon.The female poet will prepare a kind of anesthetic, which is said to be used by southerners to capture elephants.She's going to put the anesthetic on the dragon's altar.When dragons eat those sacrifices, they will be poisoned unconsciously.Then when the dragon spawned, they took the opportunity to slay the dragon.

However, there are many loopholes in this plan. For example, dragons may not be poisoned, or dragons do not lay eggs here, or dragons are immune to poison... But the ranger does not consider these. The ranger said that slaying dragons depends on momentum, and heroes rely on miracles. It's just that God doesn't help.

Now it seems that God is not helping.Because the dragon's altar disappeared overnight, and there was not even a hair left.
