The tall centurion looked at the orc warrior who was equally tall as him.
The orc warrior bared his fangs and smiled: "Give me a bowl of porridge!"
The centurion looked at the iron box on the ground, and then at the orc's honest smile, and suddenly felt a little salty in his throat.
"That brother is a good man," the orc said, pointing to the wounded soldier. "With a broken leg, he can kill a sand demon. Unfortunately, he can't hold on anymore. Our medical officer insists on bragging, saying that he can still be cured."
He, you also know how annoying a woman who likes to brag is, I bet her five gold coins that this person cannot be cured, do you dare to take a gamble?"
"Me," the centurion's voice was choked. He lowered his head, picked up the iron box, and asked the soldiers to fill a bowl of porridge for the orcs.
The orc took the porridge and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the centurion shout: "I bet, I bet he can survive!"
He took out two silver coins and handed them to the orcs, and then asked the soldiers to carry the wounded soldiers to Reggie's camp.
Late at night, the centurion knelt in front of Matthias' tent, waiting for the head of state's punishment.
Until dawn, Matthias did not show up. The captain of the guard walked up to the centurion and whispered: "Go back, your punishment is over. Tell the soldiers to start camp. Your centurion can only eat tonight."
barley."
Barley is for livestock, which is a form of humiliation and the way the people of the White Tower punish soldiers.
The centurion thought that Matthias would severely punish his troops and even execute him, but he did not expect that the final punishment would be so light.
That day, Mathias made an exception and came to Reggie's carriage. He wanted to make a deal with Reggie.
"Your soldiers have meat to eat. You seem to call it canned food in those iron boxes."
"Do you like it?" Reggie smiled, "I can give you two cans."
"Two cans are not enough. I also want my soldiers to eat meat."
"You have a total of three thousand soldiers. I'm afraid I don't have that many cans."
"I won't take it for free, I'll buy it."
Reggie blinked and said, "Okay, fifty copper coins each. How many do you plan to buy?"
The price was lower than Mathias expected. On a battlefield where resources were scarce, even Reggie's price of two silver coins was not excessive.
Three thousand people, each eating one a day, only needed fifteen gold coins a day. Matthias asked someone to take out five hundred gold coins and gave them to Reggie: "I want one for a month."
Reggie looked around and sighed: "This is far away from the city and far from the port. I'm afraid it will take two months for the carriage to transport the cans."
Matthias smiled and said: "Let your airship come, not too many, I'm afraid my soldiers will be scared."
Reggie took the gold coin, and his relationship with Mathias finally took a turn for the better.
Ahead is Baizhu Town. After capturing this town, they will arrive at Jiaoye City, and the Baita Kingdom will soon be completely freed from the shadow of the evil spirit.
The war in Dongsang Kingdom also took a turn for the better, but the Dongsang people's old habits recurred. After lifting the siege of the royal capital, they began to alienate the coalition forces and began to spread rumors that the barbaric Bayers were about to occupy their territory.
nation.
Sophia did not accept this trick. The Dongsang people interrupted the food supply to the coalition forces. Sophia immediately aimed the muzzle at the palace of the Dongsang Kingdom.
Hypocrites are always victors in the political arena, because they can always tell some shameless truths. King Dongsang sent an envoy to try to persuade Sophia to focus on the overall situation and not to destroy the harmony of the alliance.
It's a pity that Sophia doesn't like to reason. The envoy from Dongsang Kingdom had no chance to see Queen Beyer. Nehruv cut off the envoy's ears and nose and asked him to send a message to King Dongsang. If he couldn't see her tonight,
For food, the Byers will burn their palace to the ground.
Facing the real robber, the hypocrite was vulnerable. King Dongsang compromised with Sophia on the one hand, and asked the leader for help on the other.
Alfred naturally ignored it, King Dongsang deserved to be taught a lesson, and King Dier also had to pay the price for his stubbornness.
The Tianxing army has forced the rock demon into the Golden Maple Forest, but what is unexpected is that King Dier refused to use artillery in the Golden Maple Forest. The reason is that the Golden Maple Forest is the residence of the gods. In the belief of the Dier people, this area with a radius of 2
The ten-mile forest is sacred and untouchable.
This is not a hypocrite's method, but the bottom line that King Dier sticks to. According to the tradition of the Dier Kingdom, only the dead king can be buried in the Golden Maple Forest by priests. No one except the priests can step into the forest.
.
Allowing soldiers to fight in the Golden Maple Forest is the biggest concession that King Dill can make. It is obviously not a good idea to allow soldiers to fight the rock demons with muskets. King Dill made it clear: "In order to defend the territory of the gods,
No matter how much blood is shed, we will not hesitate!”
Finally Alfred thought of a good idea.
"I heard Emperor Suixue say that the evil demon really wants my life. My life plus yours may be able to lure the rock demon out."
King Dill could guess Alfred's thoughts. He admired the courage of Emperor Tianxing, but he was not ready to sacrifice himself yet.
"Of course you won't be stingy when you shed other people's blood, but why would you shrink from bleeding your own?" Alfred grabbed King Dill and started his crazy plan.
He set up camp near the Golden Maple Forest, had artillery ambushed around, and used him and King Dill as bait to lure the Rock Demon into battle.
The first day was uneventful. Emperor Tianxing had good food, drinks, and good girls, and his life was very uncomfortable. King Dier refused to eat, sleep, or talk, and was struggling on the edge of collapse.
The next day, the Rock Demons sent troops to make a surprise attack, but were beaten back by artillery. Alfred did not let the girl leave his knees while the earth was shaking. King Dill curled up next to Alfred and cried all day and night.
On the third day, the Rock Demon launched a fierce attack and broke into Alfred's camp twice. Alfred picked up the grenade and fought off the Rock Demon with the guards. King Dill wanted to rush into the arms of the Skystar Emperor and grab a little warmth.
, was kicked over by Alfred, and immediately developed mental problems.
He cried, laughed, and made such a fuss that Alfred stayed up all night.
But Alfred showed great patience and never let King Dill leave the camp.
On the fourth day, the Rock Demon launched another fierce attack.
Although they knew it was a trap, the rock demon couldn't resist such temptation. Killing the leader of the continent was worth all the price they had to pay.
On the fifth day, King Dill was cured of his mental illness.
"Great leader, in the past two days, I have received the will of the gods. Your bravery and wisdom have been praised by the gods. The gods allow you to open a road in the sacred golden maple forest, bring your warriors, and destroy the defiled
Send the demons in the Holy Land to hell!”
"I'm afraid not just one road, maybe the entire forest will turn into scorched earth," Alfred touched King Dill's hair, "You'd better follow me, we still have many things to explain to the gods.
