Su Wen secretly bit the tip of his tongue, expressionless, to prevent himself from laughing.
But... Xie Xun's situation at this time is really dangerous. As long as he still has some strength to support him, he won't be so embarrassed and behave so badly.
A dignified military strategist of rank four is qualified to take command of one side in any dynasty. If in some small countries, he can even become a general or prime minister and lead a country's army and horses, all universities will treat extraordinary military strategists with great courtesy and are willing to invite them.
They serve as guests and worshipers. The reason is also very simple. Most of the extraordinary people of the school are good at arm's length on paper. In terms of actual fighting ability, they are still relatively weak. The lower the rank, the weaker the combat power.
Military strategists are different. The promotion path and strategies of extraordinary military strategists cannot be separated. However, personal force, fighting skills, and fighting ability are also extremely important. All university schools have a consensus. In the same sequence, if you fight against extraordinary military strategists, that is
Give away the head.
Therefore, it is a traditional skill for each school to recruit military monks as enshrinements. Firstly, it is to make good friends with the military masters. Secondly, it is to let the military monks teach the extraordinary people in the school, so that they can master more powerful combat skills, so that they can fight with the enemy at close range.
There is room to fight back.
Xie Xun panicked when he saw that the shadow at the end of the long table did not respond. Being in a desperate situation, he knew that this might be his only chance to survive, so he could only ask carefully: "...Boss? Boss?"
!”
"Why don't you abandon the fortress and break out?"
Su Wen suddenly asked.
The fortress where Xie Xun is located is not actually under the jurisdiction of the Wenling Palace. Instead, Xie Xun gathered some extraordinary people to open up the depths of Guixu, and it took more than a year to build it.
There are many such fortresses in the depths of Guixu, and Wenling Palace is also providing strong support. After all, relying solely on the strength of Wenling Palace, the efficiency of developing Guixu is too slow, so it gave a lot of preferential treatment to extraordinary people like Xie Xun.
.
Any extraordinary person who conquers a strange gathering place of natives or builds a fortress will be rewarded by the Wenling Palace. Not only will they receive material compensation, but they will also be exempted from extremely expensive taxes. If they have outstanding achievements, they will also have the opportunity to join the Wenling Palace.
, enjoy special power treatment.
Therefore, many extraordinary beings who are strong enough and want to continue exploring Guixu will have plans to build a fortress.
It's just that not many can do this.
Only those who have experienced it personally will understand how difficult it is to build a fortress in Guixu.
So wanting them to give up the fortress they have worked so hard to build... is even more uncomfortable than killing them.
"Iron Dome Fortress...it was brought down by me and sixteen brothers with blood and tears..."
Xie Xun took a deep breath and said slowly: "In order to secure this territory, we spent a year building the fortress, and another year before it was completed... If we just gave the fortress to Yu
The leader, not only me, but also my sixteen brothers will die with their eyes open."
Thinking of the brothers who died while guarding the fortress, Xie Xun was heartbroken and suddenly sobbed in a low voice: "Wenling Palace promised... They have a support force nearby. As long as we guard for five days, they can arrive...
...But ten days have passed...If not for this, the brothers could have abandoned the fortress early and left this place...waiting for the army to come and then take it back..."
Su Wen shook his head slightly.
The information collected by Earthly Branches from the components can be gathered together to deduce a complete information chain.
This place named "Iron Dome Fortress" by Xie Xun faces an indigenous tribe of Guixu called "Fish Head People".
There are very few extraordinary people among the fish-headed people. Only tribal leaders and high-level warriors have extraordinary power. The most powerful leader is only equivalent to the level of human extraordinary sequence three. But the fish-headed people are tough enough to use ordinary swords and guns.
Hard to harm and with large numbers, Xie Xun led more than a dozen extraordinary people, but with great effort, they drove the fish-headed people deeper into Guixu and built an iron dome at the key place.
fortress.
Near the fortress, there is an extremely rare extraordinary material, black silver. Black silver is similar in color to silver that has been stored for a long time, but it is a secret medicine that can enhance the physique of extraordinary people. Even fatal injuries can be mixed with black silver.
After treatment with the secret medicine, the patient can basically recover.
Wenling Palace regards black silver as one of the most important strategic materials, which is why Wenling Palace helped Xie Xun in the early stage.
But after the fortress was built, Wenling Hall also wanted to pick peaches.
After all, if you buy black silver from Xie Xun and others, no matter how low the price is, you still have to pay money, and the amount is huge.
Therefore, a powerful steward of Wenling Palace who was in charge of the Iron Dome Fortress area had his mind set on taking this fortress as his own.
Of course, he cannot use his own name to rob it, let alone collect it in the name of Wenling Palace. This is a big taboo.
However, there is the ability to push the fish-headed people to counterattack the fortress without sending reinforcements to the Iron Dome Fortress, waiting for the fortress to fall, and then waiting for an opportunity to recapture it.
Then the Iron Dome Fortress ushered in a disaster. The fish-headed people who had originally abandoned the fortress area counterattacked frantically. Moreover, in this counterattack, the fish-headed people seemed to know the defense of the fortress well and launched the attack from the weakest point.
After recruitment, in addition to the dozen or so people who initially followed Xie Xun, there were dozens more low-sequence extraordinary beings in the fortress. However, in the end, in the battles, all the extraordinary beings were killed or injured.
After the latest battle, the last few companions who had followed Xie Xun from the beginning were killed, and he was the only one left in the entire Iron Dome Fortress.
Su Wen also knew that soon, the fish-headed men would kill Xie Xun in the next wave of attacks, and then two or three days later, the reinforcements from Wenling Palace would belatedly arrive and drive the fish-headed men away from the fortress.
From then on, this Iron Dome Fortress came under the rule of Wenling Palace, but in fact... Wenling Palace's senior officials may not know that there is a priceless black silver mine near this small fortress.
Therefore, no matter how long Xie Xun waits, as long as he is still alive, no reinforcements from Wenling Palace will come.
If he had not died, others would not be able to legitimately occupy the black and silver mine he discovered.
"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade..."
Su Wen sighed quietly.
A glimpse reveals the whole leopard. From what happened to Xie Xun, we can probably understand how tragic the fate of the Guixu extraordinary people under the control of Wenling Palace is. However, Su Wen's sympathy for them is also limited.
Most of the local extraordinary beings were scum and scum. Su Wen really had no sympathy for these guys.
"That's the truth..."
Listening to Su Wen's emotion, Xie Xun was also surprised, and then he understood the root cause of his tragic fate.
"Boss... is there anything you can do to save me?"
Xie Xun said in a low voice: "The black silver mine...I can take away any of it, as long as you can give my dead brothers a little settlement allowance..."
"What can I do..."
Su Wen thought for a while, tapped his fingers on the long table, and pondered for a moment. Xie Xun was willing to use black silver mines as a reward, which was not surprising. After all, he couldn't protect himself at the moment, and the mines didn't do anything to him.
significance.
However, Su Wen didn't have much interest in this. He had no intention of staying in Guixu. Even if he owned a mine in name, no one would acknowledge it after he left. He moved for a mine that could not actually benefit him.
My heart, in front of Xie Xun, I feel inferior, which damages my image as a superior person.
"The problems you are encountering now are neither big nor small... There are ways to solve the problem, but it will be very difficult for you to hold on to this place in the future..."
"As long as I can survive, as for the black silver mine, didn't I agree to give it to you..."
Xie Xun is a smart man and understood what Su Wen meant.
He cannot defend the black silver mine.
But Xie Xun also had his own plan. Without blinking an eye, he gave the black silver mine to the "big man" in front of him. The big man eats meat, soup, water, etc., and always leaves some for him.
"I'm not interested in your treasure mine... If you want to keep it, you can only recruit others to join it. As long as you don't want to monopolize it, you won't end up in a dead end."
Su Wen was very satisfied with Xie Xun's awareness.
"Then...how should I repay you?"
Xie Xun's mouth opened wide with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Heh... there must be times when you can help..."
Getting in touch with Xie Xun was something Earthly Branch did temporarily in order to regain control of Xie Xun's belongings.
Su Wen has no interests to pursue.
But in Guixu, he indeed lacked support. If Xie Xun, the fourth-ranked military strategist, could be used for his own purposes, he would definitely be of great help. But if he showed himself in front of Xie Xun, the risk would be extremely high.
So Su Wen simply left it blank and let Xie Xun figure it out on his own.
After thinking about it, Su Wen pretended to be profound and said: "It won't be long before the situation in Guixu will change drastically... If you can make good use of the black silver mine and integrate some forces, it will be of great benefit to you in the future."
These words are not groundless. Wenling Palace is preparing to evacuate Guixu and let hundreds of schools of thought take over this hot potato. If not the situation has changed drastically, what else can it be?
When the Wenling Palace is evacuated and the power of hundreds of schools has not completely taken over the fortresses in Guixu, the world of Guixu will definitely usher in a great turmoil. Whoever can seize the opportunity will naturally gain huge benefits.
"I understand!"
Xie Xun was shocked and said quickly: "I will follow your instructions and gather strength as soon as possible!"
"Well……"
Su Wen thought to himself, this is just too much imagination...
But he didn't want to correct Xie Xun's statement, and said calmly: "You will definitely not be able to ask for help from Wenling Palace, and other extraordinary beings will not be able to come because of this matter, but..."
Su Wen tapped his hand on the long table, and a portrait appeared in front of Xie Xun, his portrait.
"You report to the Wenling Palace, and also send a notice to the extraordinary people who can receive your message, saying that this person is in the Iron Dome Fortress, and ask them to come over quickly to help you arrest him."
"this……"
Xie Xun was so focused on resisting the fish-headed men's attack that he didn't even notice the wanted notice issued by Wenling Palace. He was a little confused at this time. But his mind was still flexible enough and he quickly said: "I'll do it right now."
