Once the war started, it would not stop easily. After capturing the royal capital, Reggie, Chris and Joruus divided their forces into three groups and marched towards the three cities south of the royal capital.
Reggie chose Turbulence City, the easternmost city. This is a port city, and it is also a very special port.
Turbulent City is the mouth of the Chaotic River. The Chaotic River is the second longest river in the continent, second only to the Blackwater River, but its water flow, water depth and river width are far greater than the Blackwater River.
.Large ships can easily travel on the River of Chaos, and even most sea-going ships can travel up the river.
This river will become an important trade channel for Reji, because it will pass through Tianxing Kingdom, Dier Kingdom, Luansen Kingdom and Yunding Kingdom. These countries are all very wealthy, especially Tianxing Kingdom, which is the only one that can compete with Bai Bai in terms of financial resources.
As a country comparable to the Tajikistan, for Reggie, who had just fallen out with the White Tajikistan, this river was a new economic lifeline.
With such unique conditions, it stands to reason that Turbulence City should become the richest city in the Lion Kingdom.
However, oranges in the south and oranges in the north, sand in the hands of a wise man can turn into gold, but gold in the hands of a fool is not as good as sand.
The successive kings of the Lion Kingdom regarded Turbulent City as an ominous place. This can be seen from the name. Who would name an excellent city Turbulent City?
The reason why it is defined as unknown is because the Lion royal family believes that the water of the River of Chaos is poisonous and will poison the minds of its people.
In fact, this is pure nonsense. The residents of Turbulent City have been drinking water from the Luanman River for many years, and they have never seen anyone go crazy due to poisoning.
It is not the river water that is poisonous, but the navigable merchants. The Lane royal family does not like merchants coming from afar. In fact, they do not like any foreigners. They are worried that their people will follow these foreign merchants and "learn bad things". They are also worried that foreigners will
Steal their "secrets".
An excellent country like the Lion Country always has a lot of secrets.
Turbulent City has been closed for a long time. The port can only be used for military purposes and all commercial activities are prohibited. This has caused Turbulent City to be very poor, but its defenses are very tight.
According to Reggie's speculation, Yalishan and the Demonic Orcs were most likely to escape here. In order to ensure a quick victory, Reggie drove Suixue No. 5 to Turbulence City. On the first morning of the march, the chariot's
The speed is very disadvantageous. It is already slow, and when it drags a cart of coal, it is not much faster than an infantryman walking.
But in the afternoon, the endurance of the steam engine showed its advantage. The cavalry could march up to eighty miles a day, but Reggie's chariot could march a hundred miles a day without feeling tired at all.
Of course he didn't feel tired, because he was riding in a car, Suixue No. 3 was still under repair, and the driver Gelka happened to be free. Reggie asked him to act as the driver, and he sat in Saga's original seat.
Even eating and sleeping.
When he woke up, Suixue No. 5 had already lagged behind the large army. Reggie stretched out and laughed loudly: "This is the power of technology, Muhahaha!"
The soldier responsible for shoveling coal downstairs wiped away the sweat and soot, spat, and whispered: "If I had a cannon, I would shoot your mother right now."
There was a wizard's robe in the cab, which Saga had left behind. Reggie really missed this evil old guy, and he didn't know where Natalie and Angel were now.
According to Tortosa's guess, Natalie would be exhausted within two days.
The actual situation was even worse. In late spring, the south wind was strong, and Natalie, who was traveling against the wind all the way, was overdrawn at dusk on the first day.
Fortunately, Reggie had saved a hand in advance. He asked Abu to take Feng Mo with him and found Natalie's airship according to the marks he had left for Natalie.
After the two sides met, Natalie saw the wind demons for the first time. She was surprised by their control of the wind. Although they could not compare with Natalie in terms of accuracy, their absolute power exceeded Natalie by more than one level.
, they seemed to have opened a channel for the north wind in the south wind, leading the airship forward at an incredible speed.
The main person who performed the spell was a young woman. Natalie asked: "Can you tell me your name?"
"Clodacy Madan."
"Nice to meet you, Miss Madison."
Crodaci glared at Natalie: "It's Mrs. Median, I'm married."
An older woman next to her smiled and said: "Don't listen to her nonsense. Her husband has never touched her at all. He eloped with a human woman the night before the wedding."
"Shut your stinky mouth!"
Abu told Natalie that these wind demons were prisoners of war, but there was no trace of sadness on their faces. Angel felt deeply about this: "After all, living is more important than anything else."
The airship arrived at Golden Lion City nearly half a day ahead of schedule. With Angel's help, Imma successfully completed the operation. Saga's body was very strong and her physical signs were quite good, but they encountered another problem.
Although Camila claimed that his soul had returned to his body, Saga did not behave like a living person.
His condition is very strange. He can eat and sleep, but he cannot speak or move. This pure state of a walking zombie makes people begin to doubt Camilla's motives.
"Actually, you have always wanted to kill the Hell Wizard, but you are just afraid that Reggie will punish you, right?" Imma called Camilla into the room and said secretly: "To be honest, I don't think this old guy is a good person, but
You should have told me earlier, you don’t know how much effort it took me to do that surgery!”
"I didn't want to kill him, and I didn't know what happened. Remember, I was almost beaten to death, and I used the same method to protect my soul, but I came back successfully."
"Does that mean your method won't work on this old guy?"
"I don't know, I really don't know," Camila was confused. "His soul is in his body, but why is it like this? I really don't know how to explain it to Reggie."
Reggie was not in the mood to listen to her explanation now. He was standing in the ruined city of Turbulence, feeling regretful for his previous impulse.
Yalishan and the Demonic Orcs are not here. The lords and soldiers here just want to put up a symbolic resistance and then surrender.
Who knew that this symbolic resistance would have such serious consequences, Reggie destroyed half of the city and accidentally blew up the port.
In order to appease the frightened city lord, Reggie took some time to accompany him around the city.
"I know you are very familiar with this place, but it may feel a little strange to you now." Looking at the unrecognizable streets, Reggie was trying to comfort the old lord, "We will build it better, of course, it is best to
Let’s start with the port.”
"I will obey your orders in everything, my dear... Emperor Reginald."
"There doesn't seem to be a large population in Turbulent City. It probably wasn't me..."
"This has nothing to do with you," the lord explained hurriedly, "River City is originally a poor and desolate place."
"It won't be like this in the future. This place will become increasingly prosperous. Of course, we still have a little trouble to deal with. There are still four cities under the control of the wind demon. Your king and the general of the White Tower Kingdom have won battles.
