"That girl finally came back, right?" The injured Broken Bone became very annoyed. He always wanted to hear a perfect ending, which was tantamount to forcing Tie Shou to tell a more heartwarming story.
"Yes, that girl is back," Iron Skull took a puff of tobacco and exhaled a cloud of mist. "He is willing to spend the rest of his life with Thrall."
"She must be lying to him," Broken Bones shook his head and said, "Don't forget how heartless she was when she left."
"She meant it. She melted the ax Thrall swallowed with her tears."
"Tears? Thrall drank her tears? Are her tears poisonous?"
"There is no poison in her tears, they are all her deep love for Sal."
"Then what?"
"Then they lived happily together."
"You lied to me again. There is no woman around the great hero Thrall!"
"What do you want!" Iron Skull said angrily, "Don't force me to break your other long tooth!"
After two more days of trekking on the grassland, a broad river appeared in front of us.
Jiawen smiled and said: "My lord, this is the Blackwater River."
The quietly flowing Blackwater River is the longest river on this continent. Its source is in the Bayer Country, and it runs through the Benlang Country, the Dier Country, the Tianxing Country and the White Tower Country. After gathering countless tributaries, it flows from
The southernmost tip of the continent flows into the sea.
Because the river water carries a large amount of humus, the bottom mud of the river bed has a unique black color. This river that floods regularly washes the bottom mud up to the earth, thus nourishing this fertile wilderness of water and grass.
"Among all the wolf kings in the Benlang Kingdom, the White Wolf King is the richest. It is said that it is because he has been favored by the river god." Jiawen held up a handful of river water, "Sir, take a sip, the water from the Blackwater River can give you
Brings good luck.”
Jiawen was about to put water into his mouth, but Reggie stopped him: "Have you forgotten the rules? You can only drink boiled water!"
The complexity of the expedition went far beyond ordinary warfare. It was not only the enemy that defeated the soldiers, but also plagues and parasites. The soldiers had to be very careful about their diet. Reggie even imposed strict restrictions on hunting.
After walking along the river bank for more than twenty miles, the outline of Blackwater City appeared in front of us. This is the most peculiar city Reggie has ever seen. The huge Blackwater City is built across the water, and the Blackwater River passes through the gate in the center of the city wall.
The entire Blackwater City.
The city walls of Blackwater City are made of black rocks. The dark rocks match the color of the river very well. From a distance, it looks like a huge black man squatting in a pit.
What an appropriate metaphor! Reggie was lamenting his imagination, but as he continued to approach Blackwater City, Reggie found that the body of this giant black man seemed a bit asymmetrical.
The city wall on the east bank of the river is tall and thick, while the city wall on the west bank is much lower. Does this design have any unique significance?
In fact, the reason is very simple. The east wall is built stronger to prevent enemy invasion, while the west wall is very thin to prevent the White Wolf King from rebelling.
This is exactly the same as the design concept of Hanmaple Fortress. In the Cold Weapon Age, if you wanted to attack Blackwater City from the east, it would be difficult to reach the sky. But if the White Wolf King had other intentions, the Royal Army of Benlang Kingdom could easily attack Blackwater City from the west.
Invasion of Blackwater City.
This also left Reggie with a dilemma.
"Our carriages can be converted into ships," Sulit said. "I suggest that we forcefully cross the river tonight and attack the city from the west."
"I'm afraid this won't work!" Jiawen shook his head and said, "Although the Blackwater River flows very slowly, there are many whirlpools and undercurrents in the middle of the river, and the enemy will deploy ambushes near the river bank. When we cross the middle of the river,
A few trebuchets will kill us."
It seems that this world also knows this tactic. Reggie looked at the width of the river. It was more than 800 feet wide at the narrowest point. It was really not a good idea to force the crossing.
"Order the soldiers to set up camp and attack the city from the east bank early tomorrow morning!"
"Why not do it tonight?" Jiawen said, "We have a better chance of winning if we attack at night."
"You have to give the White Wolf King a chance to surrender," Reggie said with a smile. "Prepare delicious food and wine. I want to have a good chat with him."
Reggie set up camp outside the city, and that night the White Wolf King led his soldiers and blew the horn below the city.
Although the charge horn was blown, Reggie knew very well that it was impossible for the White Wolf King to attack his own camp. In the eyes of the Werewolves, an attack without a sneak attack was a stupid attack. Although they always said that they were decent people, they fought openly and honestly.
It's completely inconsistent with the nature of a werewolf.
The White Wolf King wanted to find Reggie for peace talks, and his envoy soon arrived at Reggie's camp.
"Lord Victor, our noble Wolf King is willing to lower his status and meet with you. He has been waiting under the city wall for a long time."
He pretended to be cool and ignored his moral integrity. He was beaten to the door of his house. How dare he talk about lowering his status? What about going to the city to meet him? Did he think Reggie was crazy? Did he still suffer a lot?
"Go back and tell your Wolf King that I am the lord of a country and my status is above him. If he wants to see me, let him come to my camp and speak."
The envoy was in trouble: "According to the tradition of our Benlang Kingdom, all lords are under the Wolf King..."
Reggie smiled and said: "According to the tradition of Shattered Snow Kingdom, we generally don't kill messengers, but sometimes we cut off their noses."
The envoy brought the original words to the White Wolf King, and the angry White Wolf King beat the envoy severely.
"Tell Reggie Victor that this is the last chance I give him and ask him to come see me immediately. I won't wait for him too long!"
The envoy returned as soon as possible and said to the White Wolf King: "Reggie Victor said that if you want to see him, go to his camp within a hundred percent hourglass time, otherwise he will go back to sleep."
The White Wolf King let out a long sigh and said patiently to the envoy: "Tell him that I respect his status as the lord of a country, but a lord is a lord, and a king is a king. I am willing to take another twenty steps forward. This is my
The greatest sincerity I can give.”
The messenger left, and in a blink of an eye he brought back a message from Reggie: "If you push harder, I will bombard your mother with cannons."
The White Wolf King looked at the messenger with a confused face and asked: "What does this sentence mean?"
The messenger replied: "His explanation is that if you keep nagging, he will blow up your mother with a cannon."
"How could this shameless bastard be so uneducated! Go tell him that werewolves are not cowards. Werewolves will never surrender to anyone. Warriors on horseback will never bow their heads. A brave werewolf is invincible.
…”
"My king, Reggie Victor said that if he sees me instead of you next time, he will shoot you directly."
"I'll lend him some courage! This stupid young man doesn't understand the rules between countries at all. He's just a clueless idiot. Tell him that I will take fifty steps forward and tell him not to expect more.
Already."
This time the envoy did not come back so quickly, and the White Wolf King's heart suddenly reached his throat. He was still hesitating whether to retreat to the city, but he heard the sound of cannon from the enemy camp.
All the soldiers who had seen the artillery screamed. Fortunately, Reggie's shot was not aimed at the White Wolf King, but at the city wall behind him.
A section of the city wall was blown down, and the beautiful black rock was far less solid than it looked.
Fifteen minutes later (almost one hundred percent hourglass time), the White Wolf King appeared in Reggie's tent.
"Please take a seat, distinguished Wolf King," Reggie said with a smile, "Drink a glass of wine first to moisten your throat."
"Lord Victor, I think there is a misunderstanding between us, a deep misunderstanding, but at least I heard your promise. You promised not to attack Blackwater City tonight. I really didn't expect you to break your promise just now."
I really didn’t expect the promise I made..."
"Stop pushing!" Reggie stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth, "If you push it again, the cannon will hit your mother immediately!"
