Section 270 Progress

A large piece of bright red rushes on the sheriff's cheeks. He has been controlling his emotions, but is completely angered by the arrogant and ignorant Milia. He holds the ends of the document with both hands, unfolds in public, points to the end of the page and whispers: "Look clearly, this is Your Majesty's signature, and the Wang Xi is also stamped."

"How dare you question Your Majesty's majesty and offend the Earl recognized by Your Majesty. It is truly the following who is the best. The crime is unforgivable!" The sheriff stared at Milia with fierce eyes and roared and ordered: "Catch her! According to the laws of the Saxon Kingdom, insult the nobles in public and whip twenty whips in public. Insult the kingdom of the kingdom, the crime of insulting the king is exaggerated. Fifty whips, which adds up to seventy whips. Drag her out and beat me hard!"

Screaming, begging, crying...

The county soldiers had professional executioners who said they were iron shackles, but in fact they were enhanced handcuffs. Milia was handcuffed with her hands, and her whole person was firmly fixed to the wall. The whip holder was obviously a bit of a bad taste. She deliberately cut her clothes with a knife, revealing a large white back. She briefly admired the sunlight and her crying sound for a few seconds. The whip tip made of animal hard skin swung high over her head and thrust hard towards the noble lady's soft body.

Milia failed to last until the end, and when she was over fifty whip, she lost her voice. When she was released from the wall after the execution, she completely lost her breath.

According to the laws of the kingdom, death during the execution is normal, and neither the executioner nor the order is required to be held responsible for this.

With a living example in front of them, no one dared to speak anymore. They packed things very quickly. In the evening that day, Elizabeth walked into Elp Manor again, which was empty.

Bornard followed her steps and said with a smile: "Congratulations, the young Countess Elpso."

"You can make plans arranged by the master." Without a third person, Elizabeth had no need to hide his words: "Let Bob go south and sell the diamonds as soon as possible. Let the news go out, the fur on our hands is of good quality and can be sold at a good price."

Bornard maintained a respectful attitude, but his tone was not negotiating: "I asked Rajesh to keep people in the town of Aip and continue to maintain a hidden shipping channel. The guards have increased by twenty, and you should meet them tomorrow. This manor needs to be remanded, and it is now messy and not worthy of your title. I have asked the craftsmen to come and redecorate tomorrow, which will take about two months."

Elizabeth nodded slowly: "Don't forget to collect seeds and intelligence, these are the things the master needs most."

Bornard said "yes", not saying anything about this: "Vissus Civirah will hold a dance tomorrow night, and the magistrate of Black has announced the news of your inheritance of the title. The Viscountess hopes that you will be here tomorrow. This is an invitation."

As he said that, he took out a card with silver jewelry from his pocket.

"I will go." Elizabeth reached out to catch it: "Pick me a gift for her."

Bornard bowed slightly and nodded in agreement.

...

More and more barbarian troops arrived at Loong Pass.

Since Hu Yong first issued the highest reinforcement order, more than a month has passed, and various tribes have sent elite troops to Suolong Pass. In addition to the closest Lion tribe, the second batch of arrivals are 30,000 tiger tribe cavalry, and the second number is the Eagle tribe, Horse tribe, Deer tribe, Chi tribe, and Cattle tribe...

The hilly area behind Suolong Pass has become a military camp, and the total force has been gathered up to 820,000.

Tianhao met Niu Weibang and Gangdian who led the team. Several people made an appointment to gather some simple food and had a party.

"I didn't expect the situation to turn out like this." Niu Weibang rolled up his sleeves, cut off a piece of fresh meat from the wooden rack, skillfully penetrated it into a long strip with an iron rod, held it in one hand and baked it on the charcoal fire, and said seriously: "I have fought with the white people in the south before. They didn't have so many artillery at that time, and the scale of the war was not large. At best, only 200,000 people."

Liao Qiu shook his head, the firelight reflected the scars on his face, making his whole body look even more ferocious: "This time it's different. Those white people are very prepared. They built a wall in the distance, which is clearly necessary to continue to be shot for a long time. Moreover, their artillery has changed a lot compared to before, with a longer range and stronger firepower, and the tube..."

Speaking of this, Liao Qiu couldn't find a suitable word at once, so he simply raised his hands and gestured with his mouth: "Their shells are so big, sometimes they fly over from the top of the city and can break a person on the spot."

"I have seen it today..." Niu Weibang sighed, looking down at the meat on the iron rod that could almost be eaten. He picked out a little salt from the animal skin pocket placed on the coffee table and evenly spread it on the meat. He opened his mouth and took a bite. The blood immediately squeezed out of the half-cooked meat, flowed along the gaps of teeth to the corner of his mouth, and flowed down his chin.

"The white man's artillery has indeed improved greatly compared to before, and the future war will become more and more difficult to fight." He said vaguely while eating: "Hu Yong is also in a difficult position. No matter who changes his position, he will do this. There is really no better way except issuing reinforcements."

Tianhao was not interested in this kind of barbecue. Apart from salt, there was no second seasoning, and the source of the meat was suspicious. He did not see any killed livestock. The animal corpse hung on the rack was peeled and could not judge its original appearance... He held a piece of bread in his hand, slowly broke off the corners, and put them into his mouth. He chewed it indifferently, frowned and said, "I think the problem now is not as simple as increasing troops. I will definitely not be able to defend the Dragon Lock Pass. The key is how to fight the next battle."

Niu Weibang swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled helplessly: "This is not a question we should consider."

This answer was beyond Tianhao's expectations. He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked at Niu Weibang were full of doubts: "What did you say?"

Liao Qiu interrupted from the side: "The king means that we don't have to worry about this."

Tianhao was surprised and stopped his movement of breaking the cake in his hand: "As soon as the Dragon Lock Pass was broken, there would be no barrier to block the white people. If we..."

Niu Weibang raised his hand and interrupted the words behind him.

"Ahao, I can understand your mood. But you have to understand that the situation this time is different. This is a national war and a major event related to all tribes. Your Majesty issued the highest recruitment order, and Leijiao City dispatched all the troops, and the garrison troops you left in Panshi City were also transferred by me. The total of our two cities is 70,000. You can calculate other cities and other tribes."

Tianhao knew this well, and he nodded slightly: "I understand. There are still subsequent reinforcements, and the total force gathered in the end will not be less than two million."

Niu Weibang sighed: "Yes! Two million... There are so many people, it is very troublesome to recruit, and it is even more troublesome to gather together to fight. Look at the gate of Lock Dragon Pass, not to mention two million, even one million, five hundred thousand, or even one hundred thousand. If these troops are sent out, it will take a lot of time to march normally. Look at the white people outside the city's eye, do you think they will give us time to prepare calmly, and rely on the crossbows on the top of the city to cover the entire army like before?"

"No." Tianhao was very calm. Anyone with a little military knowledge knew that this was no secret.

"There are too many artillery in the whites. The situation has changed a lot compared to the past. They can hit us, but we can't hit them. Using more people to force them to rush over is a solution, but doing so will definitely cause heavy casualties, and there are much more white people than us. In addition to the damn medicine... the situation is obvious. This battle is difficult to fight and will kill many people."

Niu Weibang bit off a piece of half-baked meat from the iron rod and said seriously with strong bite force: "So we need some special help."

Tianhao frowned: "What are you referring to?"

Gangdian, who had not spoken, came in, raised his right hand, pointed to the roof with a look of respect and awe, and made a pious voice: "The gods will help us."

Tianhao couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He swears that this is the most comical and boring thing he has ever heard.

God?

Niu Weibang seemed to see the question mark that was coming out of his heart: "The gods are everywhere, and they have great powers beyond your imagination. The gods bring us harvest and food, and they will also cause anger and cause disasters for some reason. As far as I know, white people also have their own gods, but the power of white gods is not as strong as our gods. Don't worry, the situation in Lock Dragon Pass is indeed very bad now, but it has not reached the worst level. You have to believe that Hu Yongsheng first, haha... He is not an ordinary person, nor is it as simple as you think of as "excellent commander."

Tianhao tried hard to digest the words he had just heard and nodded slightly: "I know that he is a witch performer and a great wizard here."

"He is the best and strongest wizard in all tribes." Niu Weibang put down the empty iron rod in his hand and wiped off the grease on his body with rude movements: "Hu Yongxian's ability is far beyond your imagination. Believe me, the most difficult time of the Dragon Lock Pass has not reached, otherwise what he issued to the tribes this time would not be a reinforcement order, but a request for assistance."

There is only one word in the difference, but the meaning is completely different.

"What's the solution?" The strong curiosity strangled Tianhao's brain like a demon's claw. He suddenly realized that he knew very little about this barbaric and uncivilized world.

"The gods will help us beat those damn white people."

This is Niu Weibang's explanation. He did not deliberately keep it in hiding, but his personal understanding can only reach this level.

The party ended soon.

Tianhao sat alone in the room and pondered.

God...

He remembered the sacrifice, and it suddenly rained heavily in the sky without warning.

Tianhao was sure that an artificial rainfall rocket exploded in the deepest part of the clouds at that time.

"Old Madam" once said that humans in this world are created by computers, and are the automatic implementation of humans' plans to destroy nature and reproduction in the civilized era.

"Old Madam" won't lie.

How many secrets do I don’t know in this world?

...

The territory of the Cow Tribe, the evil horn city.

Wu Yuan sat alone in the quiet room, touching his face with his trembling fingers. There was a large swelling of obvious swelling, and the dark purple color that emerged from under the skin indicated a large area of ​​bruises. The nerve conduction was particularly sensitive. The fingertips touched the skin, and the unbearable severe pain immediately penetrated into the brain, causing anger and humiliation.

With a gentle hissing, Wu Yuan put down his hand, his eyes were a little lost, and his movements became mechanical due to the pain. It took him half a minute to turn around simply.

In fact, the body did not lose its ability to move, he just fell into deep thinking.

There was a fist-sized animal skin bag on the table. Through the hard bulge on the surface, you could guess that it was filled with metal currency.

Wu Yuan likes to think very much. "Meditation" is a necessary homework for witch practitioners, but his thinking is not illogical. For example, now, Niu Lingxiao and his elite troops set off from Eargain City with up to 50,000 elite troops. Along the way, soldiers from other villages in the Eargain Universe will gather together to go to Suolong Pass.

"The white people in the south are very strong..." Wu Yuan moaned like a seriously ill patient, only he could hear this sound.

Now it is certain that Niu Lingxiao is not an ideal collaborator.

Wu Yuan had reached the same conclusion before, but at that time he didn't dare to say it out, so he could only keep his thoughts in his heart.

He smiled miserably, and after a moment he had already restrained his smile, a cold expression emerged from under his skin, and the fire of hatred and anger was released deep in his eyes.

"I will make you pay the price for it." Feeling the swelling and pain from the cheek, Wu Yuan slowly talked to himself. As he was beaten more often, his hatred gradually deepened. He thought that the King of the Fierce Bull was a good partner, and he could also use his power to deal with Niu Weibang and get some benefits from Panshi City... Unexpectedly, Niu Lingxiao was a madman with a strong tendency to violence.

The reason why I stayed here and didn't leave was to wait for the opportunity.

Haha, I didn't expect the opportunity to come so well.

Wu Yuan was very patient and he was not in a hurry to implement the plan.

And the last and most critical issue needs to be confirmed.

He swallowed his throat hard, reached over the purse on the table, untied the tether with excitement and expectation, and poured all the coins in the bag onto the table.

The amount of money is not large, only fifteen silver coins. They are all regular round, with exquisite patterns on both sides, heavy in hand, and a comfortable texture.

Wu Yuan held a silver coin in his left hand and a long-handled file placed on the table with his right hand. He moved the chair so that his upcoming work area could be shrouded in the sunlight shot out of the window.

"You'd better not let me down." He narrowed his eyes and looked at the exquisite silver coin in his hand: "I have lost too much because of you... I admit that the reason why I was indifferent to you at the beginning was indeed a misjudgment. In fact, we can become good friends, jointly master huge wealth, and control the entire tribe."

The object of talking to himself is Tianhao.

If there was a medicine for regret in this world, Wu Yuan swore that he would not treat him like he used to.
