Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

However, the nobles of Sand Scorpion couldn't sit still, and they began to persuade Sand Scorpion to give up attacking the city.

"I think Castle Sword and Shield is very good." An old man wearing gold ornaments all over his body said, "We can set the new capital in Castle Sword and Shield, and then annex all the mountains into the territory of the Western Regions. In this way Come, our land will be enlarged by nearly half, and the mountainous land is rich enough for our son to herd horses and sheep."

The quartermaster also said to Sand Scorpion: "Your Majesty, our supplies can last for half a month at most. We need more siege engines and more food and grass."

The fortune teller said to him: "Your Majesty, the intersection of the Death Star and Scorpio last night is an unlucky omen. I am afraid that if we continue to attack the city, there will be accidents."

There are also various suggestions, all of which are to persuade Sand Scorpion to withdraw its troops, but this person is very stubborn, he said to his subordinates:

"Continue to attack the city tomorrow, if you can't take it down, you will never give up."

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

A new attack began, but the Mad King was too tired to hold his sword.

The bravery of the Western Regions made him feel a little fear. He calculated the resources in Eagle Head City, and he could last for another year.After a year, he will have to save money.Yingtou City has a sky lake, a mountain spring, and a reservoir. Drinking water is not a problem, but eating is a problem.

The mad king is expected to have four stages: the first stage, which is now, is planned to be distributed, and each soldier can have enough food, including bread, meat, cheese and vegetables.People can play a good fighting ability.

After half a year, it enters the second stage, the supply of food starts to drop, and people start to eat bread and soup.Gradually people began to get sick and civilians starved to death.At this time, you can reserve a series of emergency resources such as wild vegetables, bark, mice, and insects.

The third stage will last for five to six months. There is a serious shortage of food, and soldiers are given priority. Soldiers have begun to starve to death, and starvation on the streets has become very common.At this stage, the corpses need to be processed, those who die of illness are burned, and those who die of other reasons can be peeled off the skin and flesh, crushed, pickled, sent to the ice cave, and used as food storage.

The fourth stage, one year later, is the real purgatory on earth.First eat the reserve grain of the second stage, and then eat the food of the third stage.

Women and children who have no fighting power will be turned into food. At that time, the mad king will set an example and kill a princess first to feed the soldiers.Of course he was reluctant, but there was nothing he could do about it. If he didn't do this, no one would dare to eat his wife and children.

Draw lots to decide, the Mad King thought, let my girls draw lots, and the one who gets the red lottery can only...

He refused to think about it any further.

He changed his mind: Maybe it won't take that long, maybe we will see the result in three days.

Because the fleet in the extreme north has landed.

As long as the king gives an order, this most powerful army in the north will slaughter the enemy.

This will be the most critical battle, and if it can be won, the situation will be reversed.I will defeat the Little Trident and the Sand Scorpion, and prove to the world how powerful Eaglehead City is.Those silent nobles will also flock to Eaglehead City, and this tide will drown the traitors.

Next, I will be able to return to Tianhu Lake, and at least I will be a little king for another ten years.

Eternal Spring Breeze, [-]

Eternal Spring Breeze, [-]

Today, reinforcements from the Gulf region have arrived on the battlefield one after another.Ba Gu counted his troops, there are people from Jinsha Castle, White Bird City and Fenglei Castle here.Almost all the power of the Gulf is here.

However, the arrival of reinforcements from the Gulf had the opposite effect.

Sand scorpions stopped attacking the city.

"The Overlord of the Baylands," he said to Bagu, "the Sandmen have done their work and shed their blood, and now it is your turn."

Damn it, I'm going to attack the city, and you watch from behind.If this stabs me, what can I do?

Ba Gu would not be so stupid, he also refused to attack the city.

Then a strange scene appeared, the two armies joined forces, and it was supposed to capture Yingtou City in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, both of them gave way.

In order for Bugu to go into battle, Sand Scorpion invited two priests to compose an "Epic of the Overlord" for Bugu, the content of which was how he single-handedly defeated the [-] troops in the northern border, and then captured Castle Sword and Shield by himself. Fort Sword and Shield, the gods descended to the earth again, and captured Eagle Head City... I was too embarrassed to watch it.

Then Sand Scorpion also gave him a seven-color crown——Sand Scorpion himself only wears five colors!You can only wear six colors for festivals and celebrations!There has never been a seven-color crown given to outsiders in history.This simply means: Baku Kahn is the Lord of Seven Colors who came to the world.

In the end, I still don't know where to send a few saintesses—that is, prostitutes, with good wine and meat, majestic armor, sharp swords, various gems, gold... This series of situations made Ba Gu was dumbfounded, he thought to himself: Aren't there prostitutes and alcohol in the Sand Scorpion army?Where did this come from?

Ba Gu thought to himself: Sand Scorpion looks like a rigid old man, but actually he has a lot of ideas in his heart.This guy thinks all day long about letting others work for him and enjoying the benefits himself.

Ba Gu won't be fooled again!

So he also touted the Sand Scorpion.It is said that Sand Scorpion is the overlord of the Western Regions, an emperor through the ages, with extraordinary wisdom and courage.At the same time, several poets were invited to compose a song for Sand Scorpion: "The Hymn of the King of the Desert", boasting that he dominated the Western Regions, tore up the Duke of the Mountain People with his hands, and stepped on the little king with his feet.

The two chattered here for two days, but neither of them wanted to attack the city.In the end, the atmosphere froze, and the two armies retreated and set up camps, separated by several miles, and erected horse repelling traps, needle traps, and watchtowers.

I'm afraid both of them know that the more you consume, the more unfavorable the situation will be, but no one wants to be the first to play cards,

At dawn on the third day came the one who broke the deadlock.

"Ah, Your Majesty the King who is brave and resourceful, you have really created a miracle. I am really honored to be your prime minister." ——Prince Baiyu, Lan Zuo Kleist, he brought eight hundred A cavalry came to the city of Eagle Head.

When he came, Bagu was still sleeping.At that time, a messenger came in and called him, saying that Lan Chu was coming, and Ba Gu ran out without even bothering to put on his shoes.When he saw Lan Chong, he was shocked-he took out the soul stone and looked at it, it was green, and then looked at Lan Chong again, he said:

"Lan Chu, does this soul stone turn red after you die?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Prince Baiyu smiled with a black cloth wrapped around his eyes and a bandage on his shoulders, "Soul stone, since my soul is still in my body, the soul stone will not change."

So what's the use of giving this to me?Ba Gu squeezed the thing fiercely, and he asked, "Lan Chu, why did you do this?"

"I just lost my eyes and got two arrows," he spread his hands, "I still can't die."

Ba Gu asked him, "You can't see at all?"

"It's just that I'm blind to the naked eye, but the witch's witchcraft has spiritual perception. I can feel the outline of all things, feel the moving things, for example..." He tilted his head, and said very puzzled, "Your Majesty, you are crying ?"

Ba Gu quickly wiped away his tears.

"Ah, you are disgusting, cold-blooded and heartless His Majesty the King." He laughed.

"Fuck you, little bastard!" Bagu roared, "Only a wise king would shed tears for his subjects. I value love and righteousness, what's wrong?"

"It's not bad, it's just that I have goosebumps all over my body." He hugged himself, "Ah, Your Majesty, I'm not here to flirt with you, I have something to talk to you about. You can also call the sand scorpion , let's have a meeting."

"Okay, I'll send someone to do it."

Bugu sent someone there, and soon Shaxie replied that the meeting was fine, but it had to be held in his tent.So Ba Gu and Lan Yu came to Sand Scorpion's camp, and the two kings met again and held a meeting.

However, the protagonist of this meeting is Lan Zuo.

Lan Yu first said: "I just escaped from the siege of the Northern Guards and the Great Knights. Now, they think that I have taken refuge in the Wolf City, and the main force has gone to the Wolf City. There are descendants of the Night God and the Sea God Cult in the Wolf City." It’s fine to leave it to them to handle it.”

Hearing this, Ba Gu couldn't help admiring Lan Chu's strategy: he is bringing disaster to the east, and he kills two birds with one stone.Not only escaped by himself, but also led the enemy to another battlefield.Moreover, if the knights participated in the battle of Wolf City, they would no longer be able to support Eagle City.But in Wolf City, it's a dog-eat-dog situation. Whether it's the Claus family guarding Wolf City, the Flowers family and the Poseidon Cult attacking Wolf City, or the Great Knights' alliance with the Shuangwei City, these three forces are ours. enemies——it’s just that the northerners are the current enemies, and the Sea God Cult is a potential enemy.

Let them fight hard, it must be good for us.

On the other side, Lan Zuo went on to say: "Now I am here for one thing. You two, I heard that you have conflicts. Your Majesty Panav, is our contract still there?"

Sand Scorpion was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Yes."

"That's fine, as long as I'm still alive, the contract will work." Lan Chu showed a stern smile when he said this, but Sand Scorpion's expression was ugly.

"Now, I ask you to abide by the content of the contract and attack Eagle Head City. You don't need to fight, as long as they are suppressed and they can't get out of the city gate."

Sha Xie sneered and said, "They didn't dare to leave the city!"

"It's always right to add insurance." Then, Lan Zuo said to Bagu, "Your Majesty, let's leave here and go to the northern port. Our next enemy is not Eaglehead City, but the Extreme North Fleet!"

Ba Gu sneered and said, "Finally here? I thought the barbarians from the extreme north would not come to fight."

Sand Scorpion said, "Why don't I know about this?"

"Because I didn't tell you, Your Majesty." Lan Zuo saluted him.

The skin on Sand Scorpion's face squirmed, and said, "How many people are there in the Extreme Northern Fleet?"

Lan Chu replied: "If you are a human being, say less than a hundred thousand."

"Is there any human?"

"Well, there are also Titans, orcs, underground people... and other despicable races."

"How many do you have?"

Lan Chu asked Ba Gu, "How many do we have now?"

Ba Gu shrugged and said, "Thirty-three thousand."

Sand Scorpion jumped up against the table and said, "Then fuck you!"

Spring breeze is eternal, six

Spring breeze is eternal, six

Ba Gu stared at him and said, "You have nothing to do with it, King of the Western Regions."

Sand Scorpion said with a cold face, "When you die under the fleet's command, the navy from the northern border will go south to rescue Eagle Head City! What will I do then? I can't fight this battle! You wish for luck! "

Lan Chu waved his hand at him, and said, "There is also a fleet in the Gulf. Our captain has been waiting at sea for so long, and even the orange peels have dried up. It's time for him to play."

"Okay, the Sand People will abide by the contract." Sand Scorpion said.

So, on the morning of the third day, Ba Gu Kahn and Lan Zuo Kleist set off with their troops.Their goal is Eagle Head Harbor in the north, which may be the last hope of the Mad King, or it may be the last straw that crushes the Mad King.

Lan Zuo said to him: "The spies at the port told me that the extreme north fleet has landed in the past few days, but there are still some ships floating on the sea. I think this is a good time."

"I think so too." Ba Gu trusted Lan Zuo unconditionally.

Soon, the army approached the Arctic Fleet.

Climb over a hillside, overlooking Eagle Head Harbor.He saw eight large ships anchored in the port.Dozens of small boats, clippers, and longships were piled up in the sea, too large for the harbor.Each boat can accommodate hundreds of people.

And obviously this is not the first batch of troops to land in the port.Because tens of thousands of people have already camped in the port, and have set up fortifications - there are tents, stables, toilets, watchtowers, fences, horse rejection...

There are patrols patrolling the camp, firemen are cooking, and the general is addressing a group of cavalry.

On the big ship not far away, many slaves were busy loading goods, and the warlord was driving the slaves away with a whip.They unloaded mouthfuls of large boxes, where there were food, horses, livestock and various tools of war.Leather-clad savages were howling, and the Overseer drove slaves and soldiers with whips.

These savages are much stronger than the knights in the north, and some of them are not inferior in size to Bagu.The place where the northern border first started was the land of the extreme north. It was precisely because the first king came from the north of Eagle Head City that the empire was called "the northern border".

Many Titans descended from another large ship. These monsters were more than three meters tall, their skin was as hard as a rock, and their faces were hideous. The next ship was filled with white orcs. Salivating, stupid and furious.Besides that, they have gun boats and fork boats.

Lan Zuo made a preliminary estimate and said: "There are 7 to [-] people on the road and [-] people on the sea. It is a little less than I expected, but the combat effectiveness of this army is very strong."

Ba Gu thought to himself: I am not enough people to see.

"Your Majesty, go ahead." Lan Zuo said to him.

"it is good."

So they went on until they came within sight of the enemy.

An army of more than 3 people can't hide their voices, and Ba Gu doesn't bother to hide himself.

The barbarian yelled.The cavalry mounted their horses, the infantry picked up their swords and shields, and the wrestlers beat their drums.The first general riding a sub-dragon yelled at Bagu: "Fisherman, you have encountered a shark!"

Ba Gu sneered, and then asked his soldiers to line up as well.He was going to have a confrontation with the strongest army in the north, and he wanted to see who was stronger.

As soon as he set up the formation, the northerners laughed.Then the northerners also lined up.There are few knights in the extreme north who ride horses, and most of them are dragon knights and giant deer knights.These beasts are a head taller than Bugu's cavalry, and Bugu's side is inherently deficient.

The armies of the two sides lined up, and the number of enemies was more than twice that of Ba Gu.Standing in the army formation, the giant titan was as huge as a mountain.Those monsters are full of iron armor and hold long hammers. Once they get into a melee, no one can stop them.

The titans roared, the orcs roared, they pounded the ground with their weapons and stomped their feet.The horses on Bugu's side neighed uncomfortably, and the ground shook.

Bagu glanced at Lan Chu, who was looking at his watch.

"It's time to come..." He murmured.

At this moment, Ba Gu saw a bolide in the sky, and that thing dragged its long tail and fell towards the Extreme Northern Fleet.

"Here we come!" Lan Zuo yelled, "Your Majesty, is there a cannonball in the sky? It's red!"

"Correct."

After saying this couplet, the cannonball exploded in the crowd.Bagu had never seen such a terrible bomb. When it exploded, a large group of hellish flames burst out first, and the explosion sound was deafening.Then he created a wave of heat, and many soldiers were thrown to the ground.

This is more powerful than a lava cannon!Bagu thought.

Immediately afterwards, more shells fell on the enemy line, and the northerners' fleet was in disarray.At the same time, a row of huge warships appeared on the sea level.

The sound of the conch horn resounded through the sea.

Among the enemy lines, wild beasts screamed in terror and rushed among the crowd. Ships on the sea were blown up by shells, someone was shouting to break down, the warlord was waving his whip, and more people were fleeing in all directions.

Lan Zuo said loudly: "The captain is here, Your Majesty!"

Overlord held up the Sighing Sword and said, "Soldiers of the Bayland, come with me—!"

The army rushed towards the port like a tsunami, and Bawang stood on the top of the waves, riding the dust.

Why hasn't the lastor family's army come yet?
