El Tienau Calendar October 5, 68, Free Cities Alliance Shangri-La

Gong Jin’s announcement is not a trifling matter. Although the Brothel Alliance intends to disperse the enemy’s forces, by cutting off supplies and stiffening the enemy’s tactics to weaken the enemy and wait for the right time to be annihilated again, the Second Army’s courage and breakthrough ability , But the Shangri-La's head group was shocked.

For more than ten days, I captured a city almost every day. One month after entering the free city, Gong Jin has already won half of the land in the free city, and has fought two tough battles with the troops of the Eastern Family and Brothel Alliance, and won an overwhelming victory.

"It is worthy of Zhou Gongjin. His generals are so powerful. If we fight head-on on the battlefield, we have no chance of winning!"

"That's why we have to use other advantages to defeat him. Since the establishment of Free City, when have we faced a decisive battle with others?"

Among the major forces, the leader group of the Brothel Alliance can be said to be the most accustomed to big winds and waves. Although they don’t think this is a big crisis, they regard it as a threat to themselves and their subordinates. test.

All kinds of data and information are sent back to Shangri-La quickly and intensively. The Brothel Alliance’s intelligence capabilities from Proud were fully revealed at this time. The Second Army’s troops stationed in each city were under invisible monitoring of every move inside, and they kept sending back the latest progress so that the decision-making stratum could make a ruling.

"The work of poisoning went smoothly. In addition to food and drinking water, we also put poison on the upper wind. After the enemy is poisoned, he will gradually become weak and tired. When we go into battle, we only need to set off special potions and discipline them. Seven holes bleed to death."

"However, Zhou Gongjin seemed to be aware of it. The spies said that he sent people to guard the wells day and night to prevent poisoning."

"Hey, what if he knows? Our poison is in the groundwater veins. Is it useful to guard the well water? What's more, there are poisons in the air. This is a special guarantee from the poison emperor. Even if Lu You resurrects, he will be helpless. , What can he do?"

In the past few thousand years, the demons and human heroes have tried many times to win the free city and establish hegemony in it. The tactics adopted in it are really strange and all-encompassing. And these records are all collected in the archives of the Brothel Alliance, as a reference for the next time a foreign enemy invades.

According to the experience gained from history, the Brothel Alliance has full confidence that no matter how the enemy attacks, our side can respond calmly. The poison formula was a secret gift from the former Poison Emperor and the person responsible for the brothel. The poison from Yunmeng Guze has always been a guarantee of insolvency, and it is difficult for even a celestial master to dissolve it. In order to ensure the success of the poisoning tactics, Brothel's formula has been changed over the past few hundred years, so that even the original creator cannot be removed.

Gong Jin seemed to be alert to these. The Brothel Alliance detected that he sent an envoy to the North Gate Tianguan, and invited the most prestigious goddess doctor Yuqi Fenghua to come. If this matter comes true, it may undermine the tactics of the Brothel Alliance, but they haven't managed to stop it, and the answer from Beimen Tianguan has been passed.

"Really? Does the woman doctor say that?"

As he was riding a horse to supervise the battle, Gong Jin listened to the news that his subordinates had just received.

"It is the duty of a healer to save lives. Fenghua is obligatory, but my personal skills cannot and should not be an accomplice in the war. As long as the marshal can immediately withdraw troops from the free city, we will meet in the territory of Eltino."

When the messenger visited the refugee camp where Fenghua was and explained her intentions, the virtuous female doctor made this request without humility and let the messenger return to the free city. Gong Jin could only laugh bitterly after hearing the words.

"The Monkey Emperor of Reins is unexpectedly blessed. It is indeed enviable to have a good woman as a company...this point, Hua Tianxie may have the deepest feeling!"

Although he has been in The Hague before, but using the Brothel Alliance and his own intelligence system, Gong Jin still knows a lot of little-known confidential information, including which woman is hiding in Hua Tianxie's heart...

"Speaking of Beimen Tianguan, is there any progress on another matter?"

To contain Reins? Thielen’s actions did not interfere with the war in the free city. Hua Tianxie had already placed the army in front of the North Gate Tianguan, and he and Dorgon alternately fought against Gengoro several times, because neither side Intending to fight to the death, the scale of the fight is only verbal confrontation and short-term tricks. However, judging from the signs, perhaps the enemy coach Yamamoto 56 has left the North Gate Tianguan and headed south.

But this is not what Gong Jin cares about. Compared with the situation of the battle, he was even more confused about Gengoro, who was a man of great martial arts and clever agility. Without him, Reings would not develop so smoothly. Therefore, starting from the exile of the Forty Thieves, he actively investigated this. Human background.

Gengoro is not a person from the mainland of the wind, but from an overseas island country. This makes Bailudong's own intelligence system unable to start, only relying on the brothel alliance. However, the friendship between the principal of the Brothel Alliance and Yuangoro made Brothel Alliance unwilling to assist Gong Jin in this investigation. Instead, he secretly obstructed the investigation, making the investigation extremely difficult. Until the fall of Japan, all clues disappeared.

"Sorry, but there is still not much progress."

Jiang Zhong was ashamed to repeat this answer that has been said hundreds of times. At this time, it was heard that the city gate was breached to avoid street fighting and had successfully suppressed all the resistance in the city. Gong Jin rode forward and led the news. Troops outside the city entered the city.

As expected, the granary in the city has been destroyed. In order to prevent Gong Jin's possible surprise attack, the Brothel Alliance arrived before the Second Army. Before the attack on the city, it destroyed the granary and burned all the rice.

The Second Army will inevitably suffer a blow, but the people in the city who have been dragged into this war are the most innocent group. Before the granary was burned down, their own food storage was also found and destroyed. Seeing the piles of rice and grains turned to ashes in the flames, each of them looked awkward and helpless.

"If you want to blame, blame the hateful invaders. Without them, no one would have to suffer like this."

The cleverness of the Brothel Alliance is not to let officials and soldiers instigate the people in this way, but to let the staff who live among the civilians shout as local people, manipulate the flow of people’s minds, and deepen the people’s attitude towards the Eltinos. Hatred.

Soldiers are also humans. When they enter the city, they feel full of hostility. Women holding babies cry for food. It is impossible to say that they are not disturbed.

I have been in this environment for days, and I can imagine the irritability in my heart. What's more, a person's stomach is not very full and his temper is usually not very good. This problem finally broke out when entering the city.

"What's the noise? For food, ask your own people to ask for it. Is it our responsibility to make things like this?"

When a soldier was pushed by the crowd, he shouted angrily and pushed a woman with two children in front of him. The cry of children doubled the guilt and irritability of the people around them, and they developed negatively under pressure. The soldiers' peers remained silent for a while and did not come out to interfere.

Silent and onlookers are often the biggest reasons to encourage violence. When the unfair behavior is not stopped, the original guilty conscience will turn into violent behavior. After a month of war, the soldiers of the Second Army hated the enemy, and this sentiment also affected ordinary people. So although some people thought the situation was a little weird, they never stood up and watched the soldier wave at the civilians. fist.

There was a muffled sound, the fist hit, but it didn’t feel right, and the whole neighborhood suddenly became quiet. When the soldier confirmed the point of the front line of sight, he immediately flew away, begging for mercy, and knelt in front of him. Marshal Zhou of Fist cried and apologized.

Military discipline is more important than anything else. If you can't impose sanctions according to the rules when someone disrupts the order, then the existence of military laws is meaningless. Under Gong Jin's instructions, the soldier was sentenced to confinement.

Heavy punishment will lead to the collapse of the army. What's more, the reason why you don’t take action to block and shake people away is to let the soldiers vent, there is no reason to deliberately cause established facts, and then punish people, but there is no certainty. The form of this will not calm the anger of the citizens, but will only make occupation work more difficult.

Perhaps this is deliberate, but as far as Gong Jin is concerned, there is no better way to stabilize the emotions of the soldiers under his command. The harsh reality is a fact that cannot be changed. Soldiers will feel dissatisfied, and there is no way. At this time, forcibly suppressing the reprimand will only deviate from the military's morale, and if it is self-defeating.

Gong Jin is very clear about his position in the hearts of soldiers. At this time, it is the most cost-effective way to exchange personal dignity for military stability.

"I...I am a very incompetent leader."

Perhaps many soldiers believe that leaders must maintain the image of never giving up for a long time, and they must not utter words such as "defeated" and "incompetent", but Gong Jin doesn't think he needs to follow such rigidity. Commandments. His image is based on actual performance, not on verbal creation. At this time, moderately letting his subordinates understand that he is not omnipotent, but will help to gain roots in the hearts of the people.

"As a military leader, I failed to ensure the most basic supplies to keep the soldiers fighting in this state. This is my dereliction of duty. I have submitted the memorial to His Highness Xu Liewu. After the war, I will ask for punishment."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expressions were very ugly, but based on military discipline, they did not dare to be upset, but when they met each other's eyes, they were all panicked. After following the coach for many years, how could everyone fail to understand that with the coach's stubborn personality, he would never accept any consolation for self-inviting punishment, and it must only stop after receiving a certain degree of punishment.

"Marshal..."

"But I also ask you to not forget that as soldiers, the purpose of existence is not to eat, but to win the war; as officers, our responsibility is to lead soldiers to victory and save lives... The battlefield situation is ever-changing. Even in your sleep, there will be enemies attacking. In contrast, fighting half-hungry is one of the tests."

Due to his special position, Gong Jin could not say that "the purpose of military personnel is to defend the home and the country, and to protect the people." That would only make him lose his fighting spirit.

With these short sentences, he cleverly hinted that although the current situation is not good, he will eventually be able to lead everyone to victory as in the past. Moreover, Gong Jin changed all the words "you" to "we" to further arouse people's sense of unity.

So far, every officer of the Second Army, and even the lowest-ranking soldiers, deeply believes in one thing: Maybe he can’t understand Marshal Zhou’s thoughts at the moment, but in the end, what he did It will definitely bring benefits to yourself and your family.

Since Gong Jin took over the Second Army, he has combined his own interests with the interests of the masses. The soldiers did not endure the harsh environment under the command of the chief, but for their own future interests, gritted their teeth and endured the present suffering. Therefore, although some people were dissatisfied, none of the soldiers questioned Gong Jin’s decision. After the words spread through the officers and everywhere in the barracks, all the soldiers clenched their fists and once again raised their fighting spirit.

There is no need for Gong Jin to boast, the morale and unity of the Second Army, in the eyes of other forces, is simply amazing. The defensive strategy adopted by the Brothel Alliance has caused extremely severe blows to the enemy's physiology and psychology. In the past few times, the enemy has long been broken and destroyed and defeated on the battlefield.

Under such influence, they can still charge forward with a high degree of determination. Apart from the five-color flag of the non-human army of the Bai family, there is only the Second Army of El Tienor.

"Zhou Gongjin is really strong. If the five-color flag was refined by the Bai family for more than a thousand years, then the Second Army was supported by him alone. If it were not for the trend of the times to turn to the heavenly war, it would make him strong. The meaning is weakened, and replaced by three hundred...No, two hundred years ago, he had the power to dominate the mainland as king."

Speaking of this, Xiaocao also thinks what he said is funny. Originally, with the support of Lu You, Bailudong was the king who transcended national boundaries. The reason why he did not take the initiative to organize the kingdom was simply because it was more in the interests of Bailudong.

Neither side of the war took place at Jixia, but the report in Xiaocao's hands was incomplete. The battle situation at Beimen Tianguan and Free City was constantly being sent over, allowing her, as Reins' mind, to work hard to find the right way out in the layers of mist.

Gengoro must feel very tired. After all, he now fights the Celestial Friendship Battle at Beimen Tianguan every day. As long as he lasts for half a month, he will definitely become the fighting madman who has fought the most Celestial Battles in history. .

Dorgon's injury is still unhealed, and the fact that they are only tentatively tempting each other and not taking action seriously is the reason why the battle is going on repeatedly and there is no progress.

For Hua Tianxie and Dorgon, Gengoro has too many unknowns; in Gengoro’s view, his cautious personality, and hopes to explore the enemy’s strength more before the official decisive battle. The result is every day. Come out in the morning to scold, say a few words, and make a few moves; come back to exercise after lunch; at the end of the evening, there is a battle, and after the move, they will go back to dinner and agree to wake each other up and fight tomorrow morning.

So far, it can be said that it is very obvious. The joint relationship between the Shijia camp and the Second Army is stronger than expected. Before Huatianxie deliberately delayed the march progress and repeatedly made troubles and provocations by Xiang Zhong, all of which were used to cover people’s eyes and eyes and cast smoke to cover the Second Army. It made it possible to leave the capital and move eastward, without any knowing it, to bypass the martial arts and attack the free city.

And when Zhou Gongjin was in a **** battle in the free city, the Shi Family Legion was at the North Gate Tianguan to contain Reings? Thielen made it impossible to send troops to intervene in this battle.

Actually, there is a big change in this war. At first glance, at first glance, the Eltinus has mastered the northwest and southeast of the Continent of Wind, not only suppressing the free city, but also enclosing Reins in the northeast, but the most powerful Southwest Martial Arts, if you offer assistance , Then you can reverse the Eltinus Army in the northwest or southeast and reverse the entire battle.

"There are rumors from the outside that the five family leaders of the king have a brotherhood with your majesty. If you can take advantage of this opportunity, ask the five masters of the king to send troops, then our side..."

"There is no such thing, please don't think so."

Xiao Cao rejected the proposal of his staff. Lancelot never publicly acknowledged her relationship with Wang Wu, and didn't want to cause trouble to her senior brother. Xiaocao understood her husband's intentions. On the other hand, she also thought it was impossible to invite Wang Wu.

Since the Wang family publicly announced that they would not participate in the cause of hegemony in the mainland, they have repeatedly expressed in actions that Wang Wu never wants to involve the martial arts people into the scourge of war. The peace of martial arts is more important than international justice, as long as the major forces differ If he uses his mind about martial arts, he will not interfere with the operation of other forces.

"The maintenance of justice is left to Bailudong. I am just a half-orc brat. I should only know how to drink and roar at home, but I don't dare to steal the glory of the Sword Saint Master!"

Wang Wu once said this with a smile, and in his words also faintly revealed his inability to agree with Bailudong's arbitrary actions, and his determination to avoid similar behaviors by his side. Xiaocao understands this, so he will not have undue expectations of the Wang Zi family. In fact, after the war broke out, although Wang Wu ordered soldiers to reinforce the eastern borders, he only helped the refugees who fled the country and did not get involved in the free city. In the war within the territory, Gong Jin would not be much stupid to provoke powerful enemies.

"Miss, if there are no other orders, I will leave."

"There is nothing else, it's just that I still can't figure it out. Attacking the free city like this and setting up more enemies will be good for Eltinus... No, what is the benefit to Zhou Gongjin personally?"

Feng'er smiled bitterly and shook his head. Even Xiaocao couldn't figure it out. How could she, a woman with a weak head, have an answer?

"Sister, don't you take any more rest? Your face is good or bad..."

Due to the request of the Brothel Alliance, Fenger is going to Free City to help out. In the past, she had been very kind to that lady. It was natural to do so. However, in the past few days, Feng'er has been with Lancelow to practice exercises and tricks, and she never sleeps until an hour ago. If he couldn't rest, he had to set off immediately. Xiaocao naturally felt very worried when he saw it.

"I don’t care, as long as I can help Lord Lancelot, I am the only person who has the power of battle around him. If I can’t do it, who do I want to do? And , This time a successful achievement is very helpful to our side."

Feng'er straightened her messy hair and whispered softly: "Unfortunately Quanying doesn't know where she is, otherwise she should be able to come...or, she can share a little."

"If you asked Sister Quanying, I just received an interesting piece of information!"

Because of the war, the reports sent by the Brothel Alliance were a bit intermittent, much more scattered than usual. However, Yuxue, who entered the Free City with Nier, received a news that the Brothel Alliance did not mention.

You Xue and Ni'er contacted the people who had fled during the war. They learned that when the Second Army broke through the city and began to sweep the surrounding small villages and towns, two travellers appeared, one of whom was holding a long spear. It was a beauty in a purple shirt; the other was weird and sloppy, even more like a refugee than the locals, guiding the people to unite together and quickly evacuate.

According to geographical relations, some fled across the mountains to martial arts, some evacuated north into the hinterland of Reins, and some directly mixed into the refugee camp at Beimen Tianguan for protection. In the case of completely avoiding the enemy's forces, the damage to human life was minimized.

The people who were helped spread across dozens of towns and villages. Sometimes it was too late to evacuate. The two travellers instructed the people, dismantled doors and blocked arrows, dug trenches and blocked horses, and used some defensive methods to stop the Eltinos The attack, fight for retreat time.

"I really want to thank that kind adult, we don’t understand anything. Without his guidance, my family and I would have been killed. He said that we would meet other countries if we go in this direction. With the asylum of the army, you can escape safely. Fortunately, fortunately..."

Whether they encounter the Wu Lian Army or the Reins Army, they will provide humanitarian assistance to the refugees, as long as this is enough. And listening to the tears of the refugees, Youxue was highly interested in the strange thing that was not mentioned in the official report, and asked in detail.

From the narrative, the woman in purple shirt is undoubtedly Quan Ying, but who is the man next to her? Both Youxue and Nier felt puzzled.

"The appearance of that adult... can’t tell, because he has long hair, a pointed nose, a beard, and sometimes a fishing rod. It looks easy to recognize, but he is actually His appearance...we don’t know, but he is very strange. He is obviously not very old, but his hair is all white."

From these remarks, the appearance seems to be very easy to recognize, but no one can clearly tell what the actual appearance is, and the group of refugees even mentioned that this adult not only has limited martial arts attainments, but also believes that strength is The source of this series of unrest on the mainland.

"If ordinary people don’t get force, they won’t want to do anything beyond their own duty. Force is the source of turmoil. This land is sick, and I hope to heal this country...this continent, In this era, I definitely don’t use force to restrain force."

This seems to be what the strange man said to the refugees before he left. Maybe there is nothing to hear from others, but Youxue was amazed by it.

"What era is this already, and the masters are using strong heavenly power to bombard? There are still people talking such crazy things? So peaceful, why not die? That world is the most peaceful.

In the concept of the Snowman, the existence of life is a struggle. When a creature wants to survive, it must search for food and destroy another life to continue its own body. When the form of life evolves in human form, the struggle also evolves. When it comes to war, so as long as there is life, there will be war. Complete peace is a false dream that only the dead can achieve.

Nier next to her stayed silent. In the past two years, she has experienced too many wars. At the beginning, as the coach, she did have the supreme satisfaction of mastering the power of life and death, but when this feeling gradually settled, the girl is now She was just tired of the series of killings, especially when she saw the helpless and crying faces in the flames of war, she felt even more guilty.

"That weird man is right. As long as you have power, you have to fight. If you are really tired, you can go to death, or you will give up your power. When you don’t have power, you don’t have to think about how to fight anymore. When someone kills, just wait to be killed."

Because of his bad mood, the Snowman’s recent words are very difficult to listen to. Nier can understand his mood somewhat, so he did not make any defense, just sighed a long sigh.

Niel can understand what You Xue said, but after having the strength, can she only choose one way to fight? Among the celestial warriors, is there anyone who also hopes for peace, and uses power for this purpose?

No one is determined to be a bad guy from the beginning. When he realizes that he seems to have gradually become the source of the turmoil, Nier's confusion becomes deeper and deeper.

"Don't waste time, no matter how you think about it, you can't think of something, be honest, go home and sleep!"

"Hey! What's the matter with you these past few days? Is it okay to comfort me? Every sentence is mocking me, you Snowman has no loyalty at all."

"Who taught you to drag me freely in the city, wouldn't it be good to let me go to the north gate to cool off? You are a silly girl who has no loyalty if you force me to be brought to death on the battlefield!"

"There is no way, Xiao Wu said that you were corrupt as an official. The Dongchuang incident happened in the past two days. If you don't take you away by the way, you will be engaged in military law."

Two days before Nier’s departure, the officer at Tianguan in Beimen met Gengoro in secret, and reported to him embarrassingly that the military’s accounts were wrong. After verification, it was confirmed that someone had embezzled public funds, but a little follow-up Once the line was investigated, it was discovered that the left prime minister had spent military expenditures.

At that time, looking at the account book presented by the officer, Gengoro rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile: "Corruption is already a heinous crime, but what's worse, as the prime minister of a country, the handwriting is so ugly, this book If the account book falls into the hands of others, it will definitely become a national shame."

Shaking his head, Gengoro said, "Well, you are also clever. Why didn't you make such a big deal?"

"Involving the top layer of the pyramid, this kind of thing can be big or small. If it angers the chief, it may kill everyone who heard the news."

"Reins is really a strange place. It is clearly governed by Shinto. Officials of all sizes are afraid of being wiped out if there is an accident. What kind of terrifying country is this? By the way...Since you have not mentioned this to others at all, then Wouldn’t it be more convenient for me to kill people?"

The officer's face turned pale in an instant, with a dazed expression as if he was saying "Yes." He looked at Yuangoro stupidly, his legs trembling constantly, so scared that he even forgot to escape. This expression is not the first time Gengoro has seen this expression, since he has been in the Reins manager, it has been common.

"Who brings and what soldiers, if the commanding power of the five-color flag is transferred to the prime minister, Reins will be destroyed before the end of the year..."

If the Snowman is at fault, then the person who appointed him is also at fault. On the contrary, why did Gengoro think that something went wrong until then? If Lancelot had intended to repay You Xue with this intention, then he shouldn't be guilty at this time.

"The officialdom is really dark, making me darker and darker..."

Under Gengoro's instructions, this money was specially moved out and treated as a special event fund for the Prime Minister. Originally, in the administrative system, the chief and senior officials had a fund for secret activities, but Bai Wuji did not make it clear to Youxue at the beginning. Since he took office, he has been struggling with various tasks and has no opportunity to spend money at all. , Now move this funding over.

The matter is resolved like this, but if you keep Yuxue at the North Gate Tianguan, there may be problems, so the task that Gengoro entrusted to Nier is to take Yuxue away for relaxation.

"So, you can only come out with me. Otherwise, Xiao Wu said that corruption is okay, but you have to take up the responsibility of being the head of a country and a minister."

"What responsibility? I want to approve official documents?" Youxue raised her eyebrows: "Let's talk first, my writing is ugly!"

"No, Xiaowu said, "Soldiers against soldiers, against generals, according to class. You should be responsible for singles out Dorgon." Nier slapped her friend on the shoulder and laughed: "Also You don’t need to win, it’s ideal to be able to tie for three consecutive days. The opponent is just an injury, it won’t be difficult."

"You! What kind of loyalty are you? I've been framing my friends all day long, for fear that I won't die soon. I knew I would ignore you in Japan and let you men and women get caught up in the evil spirits. Swallow your stomach."

A snowstorm jumped like thunder, and said angrily: "Should I go to single-handedly challenge Dorgon? Okay, I'll kill the muscular orangutan, but before that, the third ladyboy must be responsible for going to the Demon Realm and taking care of the Great Demon King's The heads will be taken off, and everyone will die together."

In the face of her companion's anger, Nier suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, please, just swear, don’t jump around...Haha, did you know that a round ball of meat bounced around...Hahaha, laughed at me."

Ni'er laughed loudly, which aroused the anger of the Snowman. She rushed forward and pulled into a grimace. The two were in a group, if not for the town they were in, they would have escaped without a trace. , This must be quite eye-catching.

Nier herself was very happy. Before this time, Gengoro had commissioned privately, saying that Yuxue had been feeling depressed recently, which made people very worried, and asked Nier to take him out to change her mood.

"Shangri-La should be a good place for people to forget their troubles, but it may not be useful this time, because I can more or less guess why someone suddenly learned about corruption..."

If Gengoro's words meant something, Nier could vaguely understand, but now seeing the snowman's expression regained her anger, she felt quite relieved.

"Okay, stop making trouble, let's keep going!"

"Wait, Shangri-La is south, why are you going northeast?"

"Because Zhou Gongjin is in the northeast, didn't you just listen to the refugees? He is now heading towards Siam City." Nier smiled and said: "We are here to help the Brothel Alliance fight, but the way to help, It doesn’t have to be a decisive battle in Shangri-La or Jerusalem. If we can obtain more information before the war or successfully kill Zhou Gongjin, won’t this war end early?"

"You woman has a brain disease. Just now I was still sighing why people can't get along with each other peacefully. But now when it comes to murder, I feel happy. Don't you think this attitude is the root of the turmoil?"

"This...Is there a gap between ideal and reality, now we can only look at reality first, and...women are the root of turmoil."

"That's true." For the last obvious argument, Xuexue was rather worried, and said: "But it's not convincing to tell you, at least Quanying or Fenghua Miss like that, it’s more..."

If you continue, you may soon be taken to Beimen Tianguan by a witch with teeth and claws, to single out the muscular orangutan, and prepare to receive the pension in advance. Yuyuki stopped the topic, but remembered Gengoro's previous explanation.

"Isn't the third ladyboy said that Zhou Gongjin's strength is unpredictable, absolutely don't treat him as an ordinary character in the realm, don't you act rashly?"

"So I made a deliberate decision, and in this regard, Xiao Wu has another tips and tricks for me, but you don't know it."

Nier patted You Xue on her back and smiled: "Don't worry, follow me, I won't harm you."

"Ghosts believe it. The boss said the same last time, but he almost made me walk into the stomach of Baqi Orochi. At that time, his smiling face was the same as you are now. Both of you brothers and sisters are not good things."

Because of the war, the Liberty City is now in a state of extreme chaos. People are mixed together, rushing around this land for different purposes. However, in addition to Nier and Youxue, there is also a pair of strange traveller partners who wander northeast of Liberty City, the "salvation duo" recently passed on by refugees.

Walking with this young man named Hai Jiaxuan, Quan Ying also felt a little funny about her current situation. It is undeniable that the reason why I came to the free city was to a certain extent to escape.

I heard that the Dragon Clan is about to cooperate with Dorgon to attack the North Gate Tianguan. If I were in Eltinore or Reins at this time, I would definitely feel very distressed when I watched that scene! In contrast, the situation in a free city is much simpler. Although it is still unclear who is right and who is wrong, at least...it is not that difficult to distinguish who is an enemy and who is a friend.

But...

Quan Ying herself feels ironic about this idea. Don't say anything to distinguish between enemy and friend, even the person next to him can hardly figure out whether he is an enemy or a friend.

Before I came from the city, I didn't expect it to be like this. Helping refugees is a very meaningful thing, but the way it looks is... peculiar.

In the past half month, the two have always been one step ahead of the Eltinus Army, reaching their target, avoiding frontal conflict, and leading the people to evacuate and flee to the mountain village near the city.

In order to learn more about Hai Jiaxuan's skills, Quan Ying deliberately gave up her dominant position and let him give orders. Surprisingly, this white-haired young man was quite talented in military strategy, and his strategy was similar to guerrilla warfare, but more flexible.

Under his order, each conflict should not exceed one hour at most. The team of civilians, in the familiar road and environment, used all kinds of tactics to disturb the enemy's eyes, and put the regular army in battle. In the chaos, the people in the entire village and town would have fled or disappeared long ago when they could regroup and pursue the chase.

Even if there were several head-on conflicts that were difficult to avoid, the defensive strategy taught by Hai Jiaxuan still made Quanying's case astounding. The villagers dig trenches to pour oil, dismantle doors to make barriers, burn houses and set up ambushes. They use various means to slow down the enemy's offensive, lead enemy troops to ambushes in the village and strike them, and escape calmly while they are in a mess.

The villagers have never received military training, nor have they practiced any advanced martial arts, and the quality of the Second Army is incomparable. To direct these people to the battlefield, no matter how good the generals are, they will be discouraged and want to kill them. However, Hai Jiaxuan was happy, and under his guidance, the people of dozens of villages and towns were able to escape safely and flee to the rear.

"It’s okay. I didn’t lead the old, weak and remnants to defeat the Second Army. I couldn’t even draw a draw. I just used the geographical environment and tricks to disrupt their pace a bit and take the opportunity to take people to escape. This is also something to be proud of. We can think of our epitaph by the way while conceiving the next tactic."

Hai Jiaxuan said lightly, with no joy on his face. After half a month, his left leg has regained his mobility, but his right leg is still obstructed, unable to move freely, and his posture when walking is quite strange, often causing Quan Ying to laugh next to him.

"If you want to help these people, why don't you directly block the Second Army? With your ability, you should be able to keep the army out of the free city!"

Speaking these words, Izumi Sakura really hates herself, and she does not fit her personality with such a superficial provocation. However, Hai Jiaxuan’s temperament is somewhat similar to Gengoro’s temperament. He speaks gentle and elegant, and acts like running water. Undirected and elusive.

If you act with such a person, if you respect your status and insist on doing nothing, you will definitely suffer in the end.

Fortunately, during the time with Lancelow, I have learned to put down my body without any psychological barriers, otherwise I would have vomited to death.

As far as strength is concerned, it is not just Hai Jiaxuan, even Quanying herself, with the strength of the strong heavenly power, can also stop this unit. Of course, if there are other masters in the Second Army, or if the second senior brother Gong Jin has unexpected strength, the situation will be different, but at least from the current data ratio, it is correct.

"The Second Army is the strongest force of El Tienor, but the resources of the Celestial Martial Artists are recognized as the weakest. It is not that Zhou Gongjin didn’t know this. He would really only lead a bunch of horse-riding battles. Soldiers come to attack Liberty City? As long as there are one or two more celestial warriors in his camp and fight with you, what will be the consequences?"

Hai Jiaxuan said: "No matter who wins or loses in the end, after the battle is over, one hundred and eighty thousand people will die next to you. If it is said that the civilians are helped because they suffer innocently, then there is no reason to treat ordinary soldiers. Pull in. The Fencheng spear is a magnificent martial arts, and it’s hard to suppress the lethality when I do it, so I don’t take this approach."

"I think... these words of you are a kind of sophistry. If you work with the heavenly martial artist, I really can't take into account the influence of the side, but among the people I have met, your Tianxin consciousness is precise and strange. If you do it, it should be... No, you can definitely control the range of influence of your tricks."

Hai Jiaxuan once used sword aura to reverse the combination of the golden dragon knight, demonstrating the precision of his Tianxin consciousness control.

For the decisive battle between the Celestial Martial Artists of the same rank, the difference between the two sides' Tianxin consciousness is too large, which affects not only the accuracy of the power control, but also the speed of each other. The one with the Tianxin consciousness far winning can even instantly kill the opponent. , For example, Gengoro and Oda Ka, both of whom are famous for fighting fast battles.

"You are right, but I still think that the invaded party has corresponding responsibilities. If Zhou Gongjin is a master of heaven as the main force in the war, then there is nothing to say, but since he is only using ordinary military The means to conquer cities and land, then the responsibility for resistance lies with the people of the free city themselves."

"...I don't understand what you mean."

"If there are no celestial warriors involved, then this is just a simple war. People attack and people fight back. The key to victory or defeat in war is for ordinary people to defend their land or willingly. The responsibility of surrendering is the responsibility of the citizens of Liberty City. Zhou Gongjin has fulfilled his courtesy as a soldier, and the citizens of Liberty City should also take their responsibilities and take action."

Rao is Quanying, clever and wise, and it really took a while to come over. Hai Jiaxuan's meaning is not easy to understand. Even if she understands it well, she still has to think for a while to confirm his thoughts.

"You mean, free city people should take the initiative to resist the invading enemy, outsiders...especially people like us, shouldn't intervene, right?"

"It doesn't have to be resistance, just make a choice, resist or surrender, and make a choice based on free will.

War is something that is repeatedly staged in this world. Even if the celestial martial artist does not exist, war will happen. There is no need to make a fuss. Think of this as part of historical evolution and let it happen in a natural way. "

"It's weird. I didn't expect you to say that. For the past few days, you have been helping people to evacuate and resist. I thought you were a firm supporter of peace."

"It's not wrong. I like peace and I hope to live in a peaceful era, so..."

Originally, Hai Jiaxuan was supposed to say something, but at this point, her face suddenly changed. Quan Ying on the opposite side noticed this, but she couldn't take a closer look, so Hai Jiaxuan closed her eyes and hid it. My eyes and expressions.

For that matter, Quan Ying still carefully discovered that Hai Jiaxuan slowly moved his hand to the right leg, which was not yet able to move freely, with an inconspicuous movement, seeming to be suppressing something with his exercises.

(Are there any hidden injuries on his body?)

Since he drove the Golden Dragon on the top of the mountain that day, Hai Jiaxuan has never taken the initiative. When assisting the people in fleeing, he only used personal wisdom and command, and never performed a single move, so Quanying could not confirm him further. Cultivation depth and physical condition.

His legs are invisible, and there is no way to speculate why it is bad, but now there will be such signs, which means something!

After a while, Hai Jiaxuan opened his eyes and said: "There are some things that people will understand slowly, and it is useless to say more. Okay, now we should set off."

"Start a new guerrilla warfare? Where is the destination this time?"

"It is not a guerrilla, nor is it a help for people to escape. To put it more correctly, you might think of it as sightseeing."

"Sightseeing? Where do you want to go?"

"Go to visit an initial city, the starting point of legends, the birthplace of dreams."

Hai Jiaxuan stood up and said: "Let's go, if you go too late, you may not have time to see some things. Wars such as wars can destroy the cultural landscape."

"I'm sorry, but I don't plan to travel." Quan Ying smiled: "I am a married woman. This time and your travels have benefited me a lot, but I should stop here."

"The reason?"

"I said, I am a married woman."

"I am also a man of Taoism."

Looking at Hai Jiaxuan's group saying this seriously, Quan Ying really wanted to laugh, because no matter where you look at it, this person has nothing to do with Tao.

Think about it and know that the first meeting on the top of the mountain is definitely not a chance encounter. It must be this person who followed him and chose to show up there. Although the two are currently in a semi-cooperative relationship, he has always been in control of the initiative, which is also quite unfavorable. You have to try to reverse the situation.

"Where do you have the Tao? Even if you are a man of Taoism, it's no good. My husband doesn't like other men with me. If he gets news, what will happen to you? I don't know, myself. Maybe you will be beaten!"

Thinking of the cohabitation life in Kyoto, Izumi Sakura's expression is serious, but the corners of her mouth can't help smiling.

"You are a wise man, let's just explain it!" Hai Jiaxuan said: "I have a place to go, but it is not convenient for me to show up at the moment. When conflicts inevitably occur, someone needs to come forward to cover up. I think you are the most suitable candidate."

"Why me?"

"The current master of Bailudong, your ability is very good, and there is no faction, you are the most suitable person to help me. I have done almost everything, and the rest is to go to Siam. As long as it arrives, the partnership can be terminated. Of course, I will pay you a reward that satisfies you."

"What kind of reward? I don't think I will be tempted by something precious."

"For...oh, for a married woman with a sense of belonging, what power and wealth treasure is really unattractive, not to mention that I can't give out any precious things with my two sleeves, but from here, there is another A few days away, are you interested in learning... the technique of making the golden dragon'reverse and return to the original'?"

The offensive of the Second Army is extremely fast. For the people of Free City, this is naturally not good news, but in some respects, it is good news.

The Brothel Alliance is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It uses the lurking network of contacts to continuously launch riots in cities that have been occupied by the Eltinos, or formally guerrillas, or provoke civil riots, one after another, let The Eltinus army was too harassed.

Even if the Second Army is stronger, as the occupied area expands and gradually consumes their manpower, the aggressiveness of the offensive is also greatly reduced. The closer it is to the enemy's center of influence, the stronger the counterattack will be, and the more casualties will be. .

The news of the unfavorable situation of the war came from the connection. The Brothel Alliance and the Eastern Family announced that in order to resist the invaders, the two formed an alliance, responded to each other, and worked together to resist the enemy.

The two most powerful forces in Liberty City have joined forces. Both morale and strength have a major impact. With the mutual assistance of the masters, intelligence, and force of the two organizations, they fought a few tough battles with the Second Army. , To stop the offensive trend of the Second Army.

The front was blocked, and the morale that had been frenzied suddenly stagnated. At this time, the weakness that had been concealed because of the smooth military situation was immediately exposed.

Not long after, the shortcomings of the Eltina Army’s lack of food, the lack of military spirit, and the fatigue of the horses and horses spread throughout the free city, and even ordinary people felt it. The Eltina soldiers on the street were no longer so toed when they walked. High-spirited, there was a bit of uncertainty and trepidation in his eyes.

At this time, it was reported that the supply line to the Eltinus Army was cut off. The Eastern Family and Brothel Alliance sent masters to organize a death squad to destroy the food transport team of Eltinus. The celestial master kills everything, but completes the task.

This news is naturally a great misfortune for the El Tienno army. Even Gong Jin had to give an order to make the El Tienno army stand still and stay in the occupied cities for the time being, waiting for supplies. , Attack again.

The Second Army has a truce, and the troops of the Eastern Family and Brothel Alliance dared not rush to attack, and the two sides temporarily maintained a deadlock. In this situation, it is natural that the two sides scout out and explore each other, and the atmosphere relaxes and the atmosphere relaxes, especially where Gong Jin is located. The guard is even more severe. The lieutenant generals are all fearful, and there is no guarantee that the enemy will send out. The assassin, using the secret methods of the Brothel Alliance, if Marshal Zhou was stabbed to death without knowing it, the Second Army would all die in a foreign land.

However, no matter how guarded, there are still some omissions. On the day after Gongjin broke and stationed in Siam City, a pair of weird travelers also sneaked into the city.

"The security here is stricter than before. When I first came in with the boss, it didn't seem so bad?"

"Of course, the soldiers of the Dongfang family are a group of rice buckets, but Zhou Gongjin will take care of them. It is not surprising that there is a different weather."

Nier looked around and murmured: "It looks a bit different. Compared with the last time I came in, it looks much brighter now."

"Nonsense, the last time you came in the middle of the night, when you touched the black and brought people in for robbery, of course it would be a gang."

It has been several years since the Siam incident, and the old place has been revisited. Both Yuxue and Nier have a lot of emotions. I still remember that when they participated in the martial arts contest in the Oriental family to recruit relatives, the four heroes gathered here to show their own tricks. Each has its own merits. Lancelow became famous and began his heroic deeds; Nier met Hulagu? Medici, laid a long-term cause for the three Mai-Stone wars in the future.

If Siam City is a starting point, neither of them thinks that they are already at the end. They are just on the way to the end. What will the end be? How will everyone's life journey end? It is still unknown. But compared to that time, the brothers of the Forty Thieves are no longer there. In retrospect, it is indeed very sad.

But I can't stand here forever. Both of them changed their cloaks. They didn't look so conspicuous, but if they kept standing in the middle of the road, they would immediately be questioned by the patrolling soldiers, and they had to find a place to stay.

"I want to confirm again, the reason why you are here is to assassinate Zhou Gongjin's iron-faced ladyboy, right?"

"Yes, as long as we can kill that ladyboy with one blow, the Eltinus will...Hey, where do you want to escape?"

She grabbed the collar of Yuxue, who was running wild, and Nier laughed in a low voice: "You have too little confidence in me. Even you know that the iron-faced ladyboy is not that simple. Wouldn't I be stupid? Is Benben rushing up? To die for such a stupid folly, I will have no face to see my brother."

Obviously speaking of what Nier doesn't like to hear the least, Youxue was beaten heavily. If it weren't for the timely reduction of strength, he might have been beaten to the neck by this strange force.

"It hurts! If you didn't come to assassinate, what are you doing? Do you think you can spy out information that even the Brothel Alliance can't find out?"

"I don't dare to overestimate myself so much, but I can't detect intelligence, there are still other things to look at!" Nier laughed: "I heard that the iron-faced ladyboy is handsome, but half way The face is covered with a mask. No one knows what happened to the other half of the face. Even the brothel can’t find it out. Don’t you want to know what his face looks like under the mask?"

"Flowers, nympho, you super nympho, don't cherish life and don't involve me!"

This kind of reason for infiltration is undoubtedly more absurd than the assassination in Yuxue's ears, but before he tried to defect before the battle, he was caught by Nier. The two of them pulled and pulled, and suddenly a few small whispers were passed. In Nier's ears.

It was the people of Siam City. A group of people deliberately lowered their throats because they didn't dare to speak loudly, talking about the strange things they had heard in the past two days.

The first to witness the strange incident was a few local merchants who were ordered to go to the barracks to buy and sell grain. After the El Tienno army entered the city, under the strict order of Gong Jin, they did not invade the houses to grab grain, but to the local rice and grain merchants. buy.

During the negotiation, a soldier serving by the side suddenly changed his complexion. He lay down on the ground and was unconscious, his muscles twitching, and his mouth sprayed with colored foam. The strange situation caused an uproar in the field. Under the instructions of the officers, the soldier was quickly carried out. Although the officers deliberately pretended to be okay, the merchants still felt that the situation was not right.

On the way back, some subtle signs were discovered under the deliberate search of the crowd. After speculation, the fact that some unknown disease was spreading in the Second Army gradually leaked out from the original secrets, and passed them one by one. Nier's whispers are now also known by Nier.

"Will it be a new kind of bacteria? A while ago, there seemed to be a strange lung disease, which caused a lot of trouble. This time it shouldn't be..."

"It's too suspicious. There will be a sudden epidemic of infectious diseases at this time. No matter how you look at it, I feel that there is a problem. Um... Behind it, the Brothel Alliance is acting!"

Nier had taken the facts. Since the El Tienor Army entered the free city, the Brothel Alliance has used multiple channels to cast complex poisons and germs. After so long, the effect finally appeared. Everyone in the Second Army fell ill.

"No matter how strong the army is, if all of them are poisoned and fall, it will be impossible to fight. The Brothel Alliance’s move is really powerful."

Nier made up her mind if she should sneak in and take a look to see if this happened, or if it was just a rumor. Maybe it's just Zhou Gongjin's suspicion, which caused people to be fooled and spread the news.

"It's too suspicious, you can't rest assured if you don't take a look."

"Wait, even if you are going to see, where are you going?"

"There are patients and guards, plus medical staff, there should be a lot of people there." Nier said: "The final conclusion is that where there are many people, go over there!"

"Hey! Hey! Wait a minute, don't run away with me again... Hey! Even if you have a mission, at least have a meal before you start! I don't want to be a starving ghost..."

When Nier took Yuxue and walked away, there were people watching all this behind her.

Before Nier came here, she had a certain understanding of the important figures of the Second Army. Zhou Gongjin, Jiang Zhong, Hao Kerian, and even more than a dozen important military officers had already seen images, so after entering Siam City , She has always been very careful to see if there are any important opponents.

As far as the information is concerned, only Hao Kelian is the only master of Zhou Gongjin's side, so just beware of Zhou Gongjin and Hao Kelian, it should be enough. However, Nier does not know that there are other tricky figures in the Second Army. , So she did not notice that in a teahouse on the right rear, a man was watching her back.

"That girl, is Reins' General 56 Yamamoto?"

"Yes, Master Zhu Yan, according to the information, she is the imperial sister of King Reings. Do you want to stop her?"

"Don't use it for now, it's rare for a distinguished guest from Reince to come over long distances. It would be a shame to order the eviction so quickly. You let the brothers turn on the instrument and closely monitor all of her whereabouts."

After giving an order like this, Zhu Yan whispered a word that can't be ignored.

"Among the celestial warriors, they can chase the enemy with their tianxin consciousness, and they can also disrupt the search with their own tianxin, without a trace, but if you use instruments to lock and track from a high altitude, I will see if she can hide Where are you going?"
