Everyone was shocked when they saw the arm falling to the ground.
Yue actually broke off an arm!
"Bang!"
The blood-stained scimitar fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Yue groaned, his face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his head due to the severe pain. Blood flowed out uncontrollably from the broken arm of his left hand, staining the ground red.
But Yue didn't care about this. He endured the pain and gritted his teeth and said: "One arm is not enough to pay for my sins. If you still don't feel relieved, just take the other arm. It will take my life. Yue also
No complaints!”
He fell to his knees with a plop, hit his head heavily on the ground, and yelled in a hoarse voice:
"I deserve to die, even if I am cut into pieces, it doesn't matter, but the ordinary people in Gucheng are innocent! Yue knows that this request is too much, but I beg your tribe to save our tribe out of the past friendship between the two cities!"
Seeing the broken-armed Yue and the sincere request, everyone fell silent. Even the patrol captains who stood up sighed and sat back down again.
Some people began to whisper, reconsidering Qiyue's request.
However, the situation has changed slightly this time. The elders of the tribe are still suspicious of Yue, but the captains of the patrol team have begun to believe Yue's words.
Although there was a lot of hatred between the two cities, it did not prevent the captains of the patrol from admiring Yue's courage and his loyalty to the tribe.
For the sake of the tribe, he is willing to give up his pride and dignity, pray for help from the enemy, and sacrifice his own life for this. This behavior is enough to gain the respect and recognition of the captains who are also warriors.
But admiration is admiration. This does not mean that these captains agree to send troops to help the Gu tribe. On the contrary, if what Yue said is true, they will not be able to take action.
As long as you leave this matter alone and wait until the Gu tribe has run out of ammunition and food and has no ability to resist, then take over their territory, then those resource points will still be theirs, and they won't lose too many manpower.
From Liecheng's perspective, this is the best choice.
Seeing the expressions of the captains, Yue seemed to understand something, his face changed a few times, and he dropped another bombshell news.
"Actually, Tai is already sending troops to attack your tribe!"
"What?!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked and their eyes were full of disbelief.
How dare the Gu tribe dare?
When Jiang Tai slowly told the news that he wanted to attack the city and plunder the water source, the entire meeting hall fell into silence.
The senior officials of Liecheng did not expect that Tai would be so ruthless and ambitious that he would even do such a thing in order to plunder water sources!
"This Tai is really a disaster!"
"Bombarding the city, what a shame he thought of it! Doesn't he know that doing so will only kill and injure civilians and anger us even more?!"
"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?! You really shouldn't trust what outsiders say!"
Everyone was shocked and furious. If the Ranggu tribe succeeded in their attack, they didn't know how many casualties there would be in the entire city.
It was Commander Bailie who issued orders calmly and methodically.
"Pass my order! Notify all patrol teams that the whole city has entered the highest state of war, implemented a level one city defense plan, temporarily closed the city completely, and no one else is allowed to enter or leave. Except for the patrol team, no other unrelated people are allowed on the streets!"
"Especially near water sources, complete martial law is imposed and no one is allowed to enter!"
"Sloan, lead your scouts and quickly leave the city to observe the situation and find the enemy."
"Team One, Team Three, and Team Four are responsible for guarding the North City Gate; Team Two, Team Six, and Team Eight are responsible for heading to the South Gate; logistics..."
The instructions calmly came out of Captain Bailie's mouth one after another, causing everyone's panic to gradually calm down.
"Follow the order!"
When the order was over, the captains responded in a deep voice and hurried out of the meeting hall to carry out the order.
Before leaving, many captains glared at Yue, obviously dissatisfied with him for telling the news so late.
Yue remained silent. In fact, he was also suffering in his heart. Once he told the news, in a certain way, it would be equivalent to betraying the tribe and the warriors who came with him.
He had to say at the gate that he could tell that many people at the top of the Lie tribe were already tempted and wanted to send troops to help them.
However, it is the patrol team and the Bailie Commander-in-Chief who hold the power of the troops. As long as they persist in their opposition, even the tribal elders cannot force it.
Therefore, Yue had no choice but to make this decision. After knowing the Gu tribe's intention to attack, the Lie tribe could only send troops to fight back and help them wipe out Tai's forces.
"Don't think you won." As if he could see what Yue was thinking, Captain Bailie said coldly: "We can completely repel your Gu tribe's attack and then withdraw it. As long as we concentrate on defense and delay, you
Naturally, it will defeat itself!"
Yue's expression changed.
At this moment, Patriarch Lie, who had been silent since just now, sighed softly and said: "Forget it, Bai Lie, dogs will jump over walls when they are anxious, and rabbits will bite when they are anxious. Yi Tai's vicious heart
, if you push him, you don’t know what he will do.”
Captain Bailie frowned: "Then we can't serve as gunmen for them. Why should we help them when they ask for help?"
Patriarch Lie gently touched the two tokens on the table and said softly: "Bai Lie, do you know what the Hesha Order is?"
Captain Bailie was stunned and didn't understand why the clan leader suddenly changed the topic, but he really didn't know what the Hesha Order was.
Although after becoming the captain, he had very high authority and could know many tribal secrets, but he found it troublesome and basically didn't know much about it. He would only look it up when needed.
The word "Hesha Ling" is a bit familiar to Bailie. I seem to have read it in some book, but unfortunately I couldn't remember it after thinking about it for a long time.
Fortunately, Patriarch Lie was not prepared to let Captain Bailie answer, so he said to himself: "The Hesha Order is also called the Watch Order. It is made of the most precious Hesha gold in the desert. This token is divided into two pieces.
, one piece is in the hands of the Gu tribe, and the other piece is kept by our Lie tribe."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The origins of these two tokens can be traced back to more than two hundred years ago. They were jointly made by the ancestors of our two tribes."
"Actually, in Liecheng's more than three hundred years of history, this is not the first time our tribe has encountered a situation where the water source has dried up. According to ancient records, not long after the city was first built, Liecheng experienced a situation where the water source did not come out."
"But the difference from now is that the Gu tribe's water source was normal at that time. Relying on the Gu tribe's relief, our Lie tribe went through the most difficult period until the water source recovered."
"The same is true for the Gu tribe. They also encountered situations where water sources were temporarily exhausted. Our Lie tribe also extended a helping hand to help them tide over the difficulties."
"At that time, the relationship between our two cities was very harmonious, and we went through many difficulties together. So one day, the ancestors of our two cities discussed and made these two Hesha Orders."
Having said this, Patriarch Lie pointed at the two tokens on the table and said, "Look at these two tokens, do they look like two cities?"
When everyone took a look, they looked a bit alike.
Two crescent-shaped tokens have stripes like city bricks. One says "lie" and the other says "solid". Although there is a piece of desert like "yellow sand" in the middle, they still cannot stop the two.
The crescents of the city touch each other, just like two hands holding each other, supporting each other, watching and helping each other across the desert.
"If one party encounters a crisis that cannot be solved or is enough to annihilate the clan, they can use this order to find the other party for help, and the other party will do their best to help them overcome the difficulties. Therefore, these two tokens are also called watch orders."
"Over the years, the Hesha Order has been merged a handful of times, and every time it was a major crisis comparable to the destruction of the city. Once, we in Lie City even encountered a large-scale fire dragon sandstorm that was rare in a century, and had to relocate all the people. Or
We survived this difficult time with the help of Gucheng."
Patriarch Lie touched the two tokens and said with emotion: "I thought that after the relationship between the two cities broke down, I would never see the day when the Hesha Order came together in this life, but I didn't expect to see it today."
"According to the ancestral teachings, when the holders of the Hesha Order come, our tribe must try our best to help them and achieve their requests."
"That was before!" Captain Bai Lie frowned: "The moment they betrayed the treaty, attacked us, and launched a war, the friendship between our two cities was over!"
"Yes, you are right." Patriarch Lie nodded: "But this is not only helping the Gu tribe, but also helping ourselves."
"With such an enemy watching eagerly from the side, the development of our Lie City will also be hindered. It is better to agree to his request. When the time comes, the city will be sealed and we will be able to focus our energy where we should put it."
"If the situation in the Gu tribe is really what this man said, then Tai is undoubtedly the culprit of this war. Killing him will also give an explanation to the rest of the tribe."
"This war has lasted for too long and it is time to end."
Captain Bai Lie fell silent for a long time before sighing: "But if this happens, we soldiers don't know how many casualties we will suffer."
Seeing Captain Bai Lie's tone softening, Yue quickly said: "Don't worry, there are many people in the Gucheng Patrol Team who are disgusted with Tai's rule and don't want to continue the war. I can persuade them to work with us to eliminate the traitors.
Moreover, our clan leader has also hidden some forces in the city. As long as your tribe is willing to lend a helping hand, these people will follow us to resist."
"I don't know about other people, but I, Yue, will definitely be on the front line!"
"I'm afraid that if I follow you then, I will fall into your ambush in Gucheng." Captain Bai Lie sneered, "Isn't this what your spies are best at?"
Yue's expression froze.
"If that's the case, I think you don't have to worry." Chu Ci, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said, "You can make him swear an oath to Lord Earth God. If he violates his oath, Lord Earth God will naturally punish him."
"Swear to Lord Earth God?" Everyone was startled, and even Yue looked at Chu Ci in surprise.
"Are you also a believer of Lord Earth God?" Captain Bai Lie looked suspicious.
An Earth Temple also appeared in Gucheng? How could it be so miserable?
Oh, I almost forgot, Yue is a spy. He lived in Liecheng before, and must have seen the miracle of the gods coming to the world. Then it makes sense to become a believer of the Earth God.
Yue nodded: "The reason why I came to Liecheng was also under the guidance of Lord Earth God."
Everyone looked at Chu Ci, who nodded and said: "He didn't lie. He has the aura of Lord Earth God on his body. I also know from the breath that he is a believer of Lord Earth God."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions softened a lot, and their gazes towards Yue also softened a little.
Being able to get a response from Lord Earth God means that Yue is not inferior to them in terms of faith, which is worthy of praise.
Captain Bailie had a tangled look on his face. According to his true intention, he didn’t want to agree to Yue’s request, but Yue said that he had received guidance from Lord Earth God, which meant that Lord Earth God was very concerned about the strength of Liecheng.
Recognize.
They can all help Gucheng solve the crisis. Doesn’t that mean that their strength in Liecheng is greater than Gucheng?
This makes Captain Bailie both proud and helpless.
After thinking for a while, Captain Bailie snorted coldly: "For the sake of Lord Earth God, I agree to your request!"
"But the ugly words are ahead. If you dare to do any tricks secretly, don't blame me for being rude!"
Yue was overjoyed and repeatedly promised: "We will never do it!"
The matter was over and everyone left one after another.
Captain Bai Lie went to integrate the team and formulate a support plan, while Yue Ze was taken down to bandage his wounds with a pale face.
After having his arm broken for so long, Yue's blood was almost gone. Fortunately, he was a special person and had relatively strong physical fitness, otherwise he would have died of excessive blood loss.
However, the physique of a special person also has limits. If he is not bandaged, he may die before even going to the battlefield.
Chu Ci and Luo Jiuyou also said goodbye and left. They had almost no sense of presence today. After all, they were now great saints. On such internal matters involving the two cities, talking too much would easily attract suspicion.
Walking out of the inner city, Luo Jiuyou asked curiously: "Is this your plan?"
"I can't say a plan, I just gave some guidance." Chu Ci smiled and said: "To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. Since the war started in Gucheng, it should also end in Gucheng."
"It's just that there was an accident during the process, but fortunately the result remains the same, Liecheng still agreed to send troops." Chu Ci touched his chin and expressed his original thoughts.
Originally, according to Chu Ci's expectation, this matter did not have to be so twists and turns. As long as Yue told Gucheng's attack plan earlier, he could win the trust of Chief Lie and others earlier.
With him on the side, he used the name of the Earth God to get Liecheng to recognize Yue and agree to send troops.
But I don’t know what Yue was thinking, but he didn’t say it until the end, and he even lost an arm because of it.
"Maybe he wants to leave a way out for the tribe. If he fails to seek help, the Gu tribe will have to rely on Tai. If he keeps the attack plan, at least there will be a hope." Luo Jiuyou thought for a while and guessed.
Chu Ci spread his hands and said helplessly:
"Who knows, even if we know how to read people's minds, we still can't read them..."
