Although the desert area is enemy territory and is very unsafe, the Twilight City is actually even more dangerous because it is during the invasion of reincarnation, and there is no guarantee when the reincarnations will take action.

The desert side looks dangerous, but in fact Bolton's bodyguards are there, and the safety factor is very high. Solandel goes to find Bolton, which also saves Kino a lot of trouble.

During this reincarnation invasion, Kino's range of action was restricted to the eastern part of the Beacon Province by the Rejectors' Mark. He could leave Twilight City and travel between multiple cities, and would no longer be trapped and die in the city like last time.

However, Kino is now trapped by another thing, the decree.

Kino's status as an administrator is both a layer of protection and a layer of restraint. It provides Kino with a large number of local connections, but it is also constrained by the kingdom's political system.

In the transfer document like the one just now, the superiors asked Chino to do a good job in arranging the incoming regiments. He had no way to refuse and could only complete the military orders. If he neglected even a little bit, what awaited him would be dismissal from his position, or even severe punishment.

This also means that even if Kino has no restrictions on his movement range and there is a government order here, even if he knows that he will be attacked if he stays in Twilight City, there is no place to hide.

Benefiting from the dividends of official position, but being constrained by official position, this is the big problem that Kino currently faces.

Although Kino is the youngest administrator in the kingdom, did he get this through his own efforts? Maybe a little, after all, his contribution to annihilating the horse bandits in Xilin Town last year was real.

But the final decision was made by Reisakhar. The provincial governor took a fancy to him. Firstly, he felt that the young man had potential and was worthy of promotion. Secondly, he felt that such a young man with such potential should be favored as soon as possible to facilitate him.

Use it for your own use in the future.

In this way, he became an administrator.

In the final analysis, it all depends on the favor of the royal family.

This is the disadvantage of being born into a down-and-out noble. It may seem like you have unlimited future, but in fact you have no foundation. The road to advancement is entirely in the hands of others.

Like those commoners and slaves, Kino's room for advancement was blocked by his origin.

Just like those who have potential since childhood, receive financial support from nobles to go to school, and become disciples to support the nobles after graduation, Chino's position in Lesakhar's heart is also the same as this kind of person. Promote you, do your best, and what will happen in the future?

, remember to stand on the side of the dragon flag.

Everything that Kino has now, or in other words, everything that most of the small nobles have, whether it is connections, military strength, wealth, or status, is all based on the favor of the royal family.

If the royal family nods, your strength will flourish and you will rise to the top.

The royal family shook their heads, no matter how outstanding your strength is, how outstanding your achievements are, and how powerful your subordinates are, you are still nothing but duckweed in the water.

In front of the higher powers of the kingdom, everything you have is given to you by them. How they can lift you up in the past can bring you down in the future.

In such a country with strict hierarchies and extraordinary people emerging one after another, it is difficult for someone to conquer the world.

Even if you are a rejecter, with three shackles, it is difficult to escape from the shackles of the rules, let alone be above the rules.

Try your best to do good deeds, win the respect of others, harvest respect points, replace every powerful weapon, establish an industrial system, start a technological revolution, let productivity flourish, break the old pattern, and finally become the rule maker of the new world?

When you take the initiative to reveal a technology, even the smallest technology, as long as it is inconsistent with the power system of this world, countless pairs of eyes will immediately stare at you.

At least they can control you, monitor you 24 hours a day, and force you to use these technologies to serve the nobles, and you will be reduced to a tool from then on.

At worst, you will be directly classified as a "heretic" or "blasphemer" and killed on the spot.

Transform into a demon, slaughter the city crazily, harvest infinite fear points, and exchange for powerful extraordinary powers one after another. People can block people and kill people, and gods can block and destroy gods. Become the strongest person in the world and trample under your feet all those who dare to disobey?

The horse bandit massacre of the town has already made the royal family not hesitate to launch a war of conquest, sending hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers at will. If you dare to massacre the city, before you can become invincible, the kingdom has already sent out the top transcendent to cut you into pieces.

part.

You must know that the Supreme Being still adheres to "martial ethics". No matter how strong you are now, it will send a team with an average strength similar to yours to carry out hunting missions.

But the local forces in this world don't do this. They won't be like the mentally retarded SS in the movie. They will first send a bunch of experience babies to level you up to make you stronger and stronger, and finally take action themselves. It's so glorious.

Killed by you.

Once an uncontrollable threat arises, the superior will most likely send out their strongest subordinates to nip you in the bud.

Therefore, Chino must now cooperate with the rules. Even if he often goes outside the rules, he must not touch the red line, so as to ensure the most basic survival.

But just ensuring survival is obviously not enough for Kino. If he stays within the rules set by others, he is destined to become a tool-like existence.

If he wants to break through the shackles and transform from a chess piece on the chessboard to a real chess player, he needs an opportunity.

And this opportunity is much closer than imagined

After Solandel and Lorna packed their luggage, Kino sent them onto the back of Feiye's dragon, and the two prepared to fly to the desert.

"Kino, let's go first."

"Nuo, come and play with me when you have time, and I'll introduce you to my brother."

The two girls waved goodbye to Kino.

Kino: "It will come, please be careful on the road."

"Hoo" Fei Ye opened her red wings and flew into the air.

At this time, Kino suddenly felt something was wrong. The desert was in the east, why was Fei Ye flying to the west?

Kino shouted: "Lorna, it's flying backwards! The desert is on the other side."

"Hey, me, me, I know, I'll take Solan for a ride!" Lorna said harshly, and quickly pulled the dragon rope and steered Fei Ye to the southeast.

After the two left, Kino began to prepare for the placement of the incoming legion.

According to Wither, three legions will enter the country the day after tomorrow and need to be stationed in Twilight City for reorganization. The total number will be around 24,000, of which 20% will be wounded.

Twilight City has a population of 200,000, and there will be an influx of 24,000 soldiers at once, including nearly 5,000 wounded soldiers. This is definitely a huge burden, and Twilight City alone cannot handle it.

Kino immediately returned to the office, wrote a government order, and sent it to the 11 towns under Twilight City. He mobilized all available resources, recruited taverns from various places, set up military tents in the open space of the square, and found

A group of nobles who were willing to accept soldiers at home solved the accommodation problem smoothly and orderly.

At the same time, Kino mobilized logistics troops to buy a large amount of meat on the market, opened emergency granaries, prepared sufficient rations and supplies for the soldiers, and summoned all doctors working in medical associations, private barefoot doctors, and various

Workers with medical experience are ready to cooperate with military doctors in the army to treat the wounded.

Two days later, legion troops arrived one after another.

Under Kino's mobilization, the 11 subordinate towns housed and resettled a total of more than 8,000 soldiers based on the "15 to 1" principle, that is, an average of 15 people worked together to support one legionnaire.

The remaining 16,000 soldiers were all placed in Twilight City due to the limited medical conditions in subordinate towns. Except for some minor injuries, most of the wounded soldiers were placed in the main city, with the number of wounded soldiers being more than 3,400.

It can be seen that the bloody sand battle that lasted for less than half a year was extremely brutal.

The Royal Army is fighting in a foreign land, and its soldiers are not familiar with the harsh climate of the desert. They are very acclimatized and their combat effectiveness is greatly restricted.

Moreover, the horse bandits themselves are not vegetarians. These light cavalry came and went without a trace. Their combat experience was not inferior to that of the regular army, and they also had the home field advantage. They caused great damage to the royal army in the early stage.

Especially the riding and archery skills that the horse bandits are famous for. In the desert wind and sand with extremely low visibility, once it falls into a mobile battle, the kingdom's archers can't shoot at each other, and the kingdom's knights can't catch up. A team of ten thousand people often appears.

A situation in which a fully formed army was shot down by a thousand-man band of horse bandits.

Later, if Bolton had not mastered the art of insertion and detour, and relied on his strong command ability to pursue and intercept the horse bandits, gradually compressing their guerrilla space, and finally completed the encirclement of the main force of the horse bandits, and forcibly turned the mobile war into a war of annihilation, the kingdom and the desert

It’s hard to say who will win and who will lose.

At this time, almost all the soldiers entering the city were unkempt, their eyes were bloodshot from fatigue, and their armor was stained with a mixture of blood and gravel, and had hardened in the dry wind of the desert. It was difficult to pick it off with a knife. The blood

I don’t know how much of it is the enemy’s and how much is my own.

Among the wounded soldiers, those who had been stabbed in the body or had their legs stabbed could only be regarded as minor injuries. They did not even receive regular treatment for wounded soldiers. They did not have any means of transportation and had to limp and walk with the army because of the horses and soldiers.

The carriages were distributed among the disabled, wounded and dead.

The tall war horse trampled its hooves sickly, and its once bright fur had long faded. The disabled wounded with missing arms and legs sat on it, their heads hanging listlessly. Some people covered their amputated arms and sobbed secretly, and some kept crying.

Covering his mouth and coughing, he wiped his sleeve and found bloody saliva.

The disabled and wounded were able to sit firmly on the horse, but the wounded in the carriage were all dying.

When the curtain of the carriage was opened, dying and wounded soldiers were lying inside. Some of them had their jaws broken by war hammers and were dying. Military doctors had to insert tubes into their throats to drink some porridge.

Some people's stomachs were cut open by horse bandits' machetes, and the military doctors could not close the wounds with sutures and threads. They had to work around the clock to apply pressure with their hands to prevent the wounds from bursting and causing massive bleeding.

There was also a soldier whose left hand and legs were broken, and both eyes were shot out. His remaining right hand tightly held the amulet given by his wife before the expedition, and his two eyes with only blood holes could not close.

Can't see anything either.

Both sides of the street were already crowded with people who spontaneously came to greet them. Almost everyone was holding flowers in their hands. In their expectations, the triumphant Royal Army should be like the way Kino took office last year, with the army arrayed majesticly in front, tens of thousands

The captives of the horse bandits followed closely behind, and every soldier held his head high and his chest high.

Didn't the "Daily Chronicle" say that the Royal Army won a complete victory? This was a great victory~

The people have thought about it. As soon as the soldiers enter the city, they will give them the warmest cheers. The men will shake hands and bump shoulders, greetings and greetings. The children will be full of longing and are determined to join the army gloriously when they grow up. There will also be young girls and

The victorious warriors fell in love with each other, and their hearts were sealed for life.

It was supposed to be a high-spirited and extremely romantic scene.

But the scene in front of them made a bloody impact on the people's imagination. The cheers seemed to be stuck in their throats and they couldn't shout out.

The Battle of Blood Sands was won, no doubt about it.

But it's not as bright as the "Daily Chronicle".

Among the crowd, a young woman squeezed out. She was not a native of Twilight City, but came from other places after hearing the news, hoping to welcome her husband back home after he went to war.

"Jason, Jason." The woman looked back and forth in the military column. She trotted towards a senior officer wearing a commander's logo on his shoulder and asked softly, "Excuse me, is this the Deer Ming Corps? I heard that the Deer

The Ming Legion will be stationed in Twilight City today, have you seen Jason?"

"Jason" the captain's tired eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, his pupils began to focus, and he asked in a deep voice, "You mean Jason Cicero?"
