How different are the maps of twenty years ago from now? It's really hard to say.
In some countries that value tradition, there may not be much change, but in some countries that are keen on change, a city may become unrecognizable in twenty years.
Which type does Feng Mo belong to? Respecting tradition or keen on change? Reggie didn't know this, but judging from Wenderson's constipated expression, he should have been to Huguang City, and Huguang City should have changed a lot.
.
"Duke Wenderson, I have always regarded you as a friend. If you have important information, please tell me immediately."
Wenderson hesitated for a long time, he needed some suitable words.
"My fiefdom is very close to Huguang City, so I have been to Huguang City a few times, just a few times. You know, the people of the Fengshen tribe don't like to travel..."
"Tell the important point!"
"The point is... As the name suggests, there is a huge lake outside Huguang City, called Blue Eye Lake. Every afternoon, the sparkling lake light shines on the entire city, making it look particularly beautiful..."
"Tell the important point!"
"The point is... Blue Eye Lake is an important water source for Lake City, and the lord of Lake City, Cornely, is a man of great achievements. In order to facilitate water collection, he dug a lake in the city and opened a canal.
The water from Blue Eye Lake was introduced into the city."
"He dug a lake...where is that lake?"
Wenderson licked his lips, pointed to the map awkwardly and said, "It's right at the location you marked."
The so-called mark refers to the location of the mark. Reggie pursed his lips and asked softly, "Is the mark of Huguang City in the water?"
"Yes, right in the middle of the lake."
"Is that lake big?"
"It's almost three miles wide and occupies one-fifth of the land in Huguang City."
"Is the water deep?"
"The deepest point is in the center of the lake, which is about two hundred feet. Only those with excellent water skills can see the black crystal marks on the bottom of the lake."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Reggie roared, "Send a signal and have the chariot come back immediately!"
Reggie's "blitz" has always been effective, but this time he ignored the quality of the tactics. The ancient map had obvious mold stains, and he didn't even doubt the accuracy of the map.
Currently, his three chariots were stuck on the shore of the artificial lake and were at a loss when the wind direction suddenly changed.
The thirty-seven wind demons in the city concentrated all their power to push the three chariots into the lake.
Gerka the Decayer was piloting Sui Xue No. 5 to make the final resistance. He saw the lord's withdrawal signal, but could not move a step.
Suixue No. 1 and Suixue No. 4 fell into the lake one after another. Suixue No. 5 was slightly heavier, but it only lasted for half an hour and eventually sank to the bottom of the lake.
Gelka struggled to open the car door and swam desperately toward the lake. When he took the first breath of precious oxygen, he saw two small boats and heavily armed soldiers.
With more than a dozen spears pointed at his face, he had to either get on the boat obediently or wait for his strength to run out and drown in the lake.
…
The wind outside the city has weakened a bit, and the blades in the wind have disappeared. The battle by the lake has exhausted the wind demon's mana. They need a buffer and cannot take into account the defense outside the city for the time being.
Reggie led the artillery forward and began to attack the city wall of Huguang City. An hour later, the northern wall collapsed. Reggie planned to continue marching, but found a group of soldiers coming out of the city.
There were not many of them, and their movements were not fast. They did not look like they were coming to fight, but they did not raise the white flag, nor did they come out to surrender.
Reggie brought a telescope and found that there were several people walking in their team. They were all soldiers on the chariot, and Gelka was also among them.
They were captured.
Since the prisoners were brought, it seemed that they were here to make peace. Chris whispered to Reggie: "They are your people, you make the decision, but according to my attitude, I will not make peace with the enemy for a few prisoners."
, this is unfair to the soldiers who died in battle."
Joruus said: "Don't be so arbitrary, Your Highness, at least we should listen to their conditions first."
Reggie's expression was extremely serious. Chris was right, he couldn't give up the entire war for a few prisoners, but the reason why these soldiers were captured was entirely due to Reggie's mistake.
Moreover, Reggie will not allow his soldiers to die in vain. As long as it is within reasonable conditions, he will do everything possible to save their lives. Behind him are thousands of Snowflake Soldiers. If the prisoners of war are abandoned,
It not only touched his own bottom line, but also touched the loyalty of the soldiers.
But what conditions can be used to exchange prisoners of war? A ceasefire and withdrawal of troops are definitely unacceptable. Can we pay them?
Reggie is struggling, Erwin and Modeza are ready to take action.
There are not many people on the other side. As long as Reggie gives the order, they will rush forward to snatch people. Although it is a bit disgraceful, Modesa doesn't care about the so-called glory, and Erwin prefers Reggie's principles. Nothing is more precious than life.
important.
Fifty-one soldiers escorted the captives to Chris. This was the most traditional and standard ceremony for peace talks. Foreign affairs officers from many countries may not be able to be so meticulous. It can be seen that Feng Mo admires human etiquette very much.
The leader is a man in his fifties. Like all wind demons, his figure is a bit thin. After being baptized by strong winds for many years, his skin is rough and the wrinkles are obvious. His black eyebrows are very thick, and his eye sockets are very thick.
Deep-set, a pair of gray-brown eyes reveal extraordinary magnanimity.
Judging from his clothes, he seemed to be no ordinary man, but unexpectedly, Wenderson, who was standing behind him, suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty!" Wenderson cried.
Reggie and Chris were both shocked. They didn't expect that the person standing in front of them was the Lord of the Wind Demon, Romuld Storm.
"Are you okay, Duke Wenderson?"
Wenderson knelt down and whispered with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I have failed to live up to your expectations and failed to protect my loyalty. I have shamed my people. I should die in front of you immediately!"
"Don't say such things. It's my fault. I shouldn't have trusted the Sand Demon's daughter. Where are your subordinates?"
"Most of them died in the battle, but a few are still alive."
"Stand up, Duke Wenderson, living is the greatest loyalty, and living is the greatest honor."
Rommund got off his horse, and out of courtesy, Reggie and Chris also dismounted. Although they had never met the Lord of the Wind Demon, and although Reggie and Chris had never shown any respect to any demon, they
This time seems to be an exception. Whether it is true or not, at least what he said just now shows respect for life.
"Since you have brought everyone here, tell me your conditions." Reggie looked at Romude and then at the prisoners behind him, "I want my soldiers, what do you want?"
Long Mud smiled, turned around and said to the prisoners: "Go."
