70. Chapter 70: Eastern Lost Kingdom Transformation 5
I couldn't see his face clearly, I could only hear the cold and low laughter, "You are indeed cheating to die. It seems that you still have many things to hide..."
"..." The person reporting the report was startled. It had been a long time since they heard their master laugh so happily, "Master, you..."
"No rush, let's take a look at each piece one by one. This elusive process is much more interesting than the result, haha..."
…
Six days later.
"Report to the general, the defense of the East City Gate will soon be undefeated. The soldiers have been holding on for three days and three nights, and no one is coming to support..."
"Replace the last batch of soldiers in the camp, and let the soldiers who have withdrawn hold firm together with the soldiers at the North City Gate!"
"General, there is not enough kerosene and rolling stones at the North City Gate!..."
"Go get it! Go get it quickly! Let the people in the city donate their own stone mills and use stone mills instead of rolling stones! Guard the North City Gate even to the death!"
Luo City is already in flames of war.
The whole city was shrouded in blood-red smoke. Xi Zihan's eyes were red, and he was shouting at the command of the soldiers guarding each city gate. The black smoke left traces of embarrassment on his face, and he choked and coughed several times.
He quickly turned around and shouted, "His Royal Highness, you have contacted the soldiers guarding Lucheng!"
"No, ahem...the smoke has been burning for a whole day. I'm afraid even the surrounding towns can see it, but the nearest Lucheng didn't even...ahem...not even react at all..."
Xi Zihan's heart sank heavily. Too bad, no soldiers from any town came to support such a large-scale warning. I am afraid that some of them had done something to make Luo City, the only city on the verge of the Eastern Lost Kingdom, fall.
!
Who could have done it?
"General Xi, the soldiers at the east city gate are all logistics soldiers. They are not as brave and good at fighting as the forward battalion. They have only been there for half an hour and they are almost unable to support it..."
"Damn it!" Xi Zihan cursed fiercely, stretched out his hand to pull Bei Minghao, who had made himself miserable in order to light the beacon smoke, and growled, "Your Highness, Luo City will probably fall soon.
, you quickly evacuate from the south city gate with my confidants, and quickly go to Lucheng, the nearest place, to ask for support!"
There was no way to call out the soldiers for support with smoke, so they had to go there in person. However, the original defender of Luo City had already died in a sneak attack by the Dongmi State rebels three days ago, and the lord of Luo City fled in fear of the battle.
, At present, the only people in Luo City who can mobilize the soldiers in Lucheng are him and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the general!
But the current war does not allow him to leave at all, leaving His Royal Highness to go to beg for troops in such a dangerous situation...
Xi Zihan knew in his heart that Lucheng and other cities seemed to have agreed to refuse to go to war. There must be important ministers in the court instigating the decision behind it. His Royal Highness's departure might be a disaster, but this is the only way now!
"His Royal Highness, remember, when you meet the soldiers in Lucheng, you must immediately show your token. Don't let others strike first. If necessary... Your Highness, please stop caring about the situation here and just stay far away."
Here, stay safe!"
"No, how can I abandon the general? I cannot be a deserter. I swear to live and die with Luo City!"
Seventeen-year-old Bei Minghao is now a successful young man.
