Chapter 5 The upcoming confrontation
Xiao Yu watched the horse archers flee in panic, and then looked at the refugees gathered around him.
Even if he couldn't see the faces of these poor guys clearly, Xiao Yu could tell that these shivering guys were not in good condition. They were cold and hungry, and some even fainted in the arms of others.
Xiao Yu thought for a while, opened his backpack and took out a simple rest triangle tent.
Following the instructions he was already familiar with, it took Xiao Yu dozens of seconds to set up a triangular tent. For Xiao Yu, just a single tent was enough to give all the refugees a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Xiao Yu then took out the military dry food purchased online, crushed the compressed biscuits, placed them on a transparent film and handed them to Enric and others.
"Is this... food?" A big man who was a follower next to Anric was very hungry. He smelled the scent of biscuit crumbs and walked over with Xiao Yu's acquiescence.
He picked up a fist-sized piece of biscuit crumbs, smelled the aroma, swallowed, and took a bite.
Suddenly, a smile of happiness and satisfaction appeared on the big man's face.
"It's so delicious, oh my god I've never had such delicious food!"
"Oh my God, is this really food we can eat?"
Xiao Yu was not surprised by the excitement of this big man. He knew that the world of Lilliput was a world where the gap between rich and poor was huge, and resources were heavily tilted towards extraordinary people and nobles.
Not to mention common people, even professionals like the big man live a life of simple food, lack of salt and vinegar.
In terms of the rich sugar and salt content of compressed biscuits, it is undoubtedly a baptism and sublimation for their oral desires!
Enric also realized that the food Xiao Yu brought out was not only plentiful but also very delicious. He quickly straightened his face and stopped other followers from taking food without permission.
Under Enric's coordination, these followers quickly managed the refugees, restored order, and distributed food according to each person's specific situation.
"As expected of an official, are you so quick to use my food to establish your own order and prestige among the crowd?" Looking at the refugees who were no longer in a mess in the tent, Xiao Yu nodded slightly, and then nodded lightly.
Enric, let him come over again.
Taizu, the founder of the Zhongzheng Kingdom, once said that strategically, we must despise our enemies, and tactically, we must pay attention to our opponents.
Although Xiao Yu had always felt that the so-called army of the Lilliputian Kingdom was just a bunch of chickens and dogs, but for the sake of caution, he still went to Enric to ask for details.
Sure enough, Xiao Yu learned a lot of information from the former King of Steel City that the seeds of knowledge had not been updated.
The reason why Grand Duke Nayanan dared to rebel and was supported by many noble forces in the kingdom was because the strength of the royal family has seriously declined in recent years.
Another reason is that the grandson of Grand Duke Yanan became the apprentice of a first-level wizard practicing in seclusion in the kingdom, and gained the favor of that wizard.
With the help of the wizard, Grand Duke Yanan had an air force composed of griffins, thus taking the lead in the battle with the royal army!
"Air force?" Xiao Yu recalled the memory of this raptor.
This is a common flying monster in Lilliput. Its body is usually two meters high and more than three meters long. Its wings are spread between five and six meters. It can only carry out short-distance assault flights. Because it likes grilled meat,
It was able to be tamed by many forces and became an aerial assault force.
"A three-centimetre gryphon... this is considered a large fly!" Xiao Yu grunted and blinked. "Fortunately, I asked in advance, otherwise I would be in a hurry, which would greatly damage my image of being a wise and powerful warrior.
ah!"
Xiao Yu comforted Enric and told him that he would be back soon and not to be afraid, then turned around and retreated to the Canyon of the Gods.
Xiao Yu planned to go back home and prepare for the next situation before going to Lilliput.
Not long after Xiao Yu left, angry roars came from a tightly guarded military camp in the wilderness.
"absurd!"
"Drag him out and whip him forty times!"
In the camp, the bearded plate armor knight waved his hand, and soldiers rushed in and dragged out several cavalrymen who were begging for mercy and were tortured.
The bearded knight sat at the head of the table, glanced at the black-robed wizard apprentice beside him, and showed a respectful expression: "Young Master, it seems that Enric has received help."
"Huh, General, do you really believe in the rumors about the royal oath that a son of God will help them restore the country?" The black-robed wizard apprentice sneered: "A hundred-meter giant? How can such a thing exist? It's said in the teacher's book
, the tallest giant clan is the frost giant in the north, which is only twenty meters high!"
"It's human nature to exaggerate after losing the battle. Although they exaggerated, it is certain that Knight Commander Soma did not escape." The bearded knight secretly despised the man in front of him who came to the gilded Archduke Yharnan's house.
The son of aristocratic family, said in a flattering manner:
"Although that guy Soma is from a civilian background, his knight-level strength is unquestionable."
"Well, that's true." The black-robed wizard apprentice nodded slightly, then looked at the bearded knight and said, "The general told me this because he hopes I will send griffins to join the battle."
"You can't hide it from the young master!" The bearded knight said with an embarrassed expression: "Anric is the only direct bloodline left in the royal family. As long as he dies, Grand Duke Yanan, ah no, it is the royal estate of His Majesty Yanan.
It’s really solid.”
"How can those stupid guys stop Grandpa's great achievements?" Satisfied with His Majesty Yanan's title, the young master clenched the short stick in his hand and said:
"I'll have the griffins ready. General, please send troops quickly."
"To be honest, I've had enough of this wilderness!"
"As you wish, young master...oh no, the young prince of the Yanan Kingdom!"
…………
For Enric and others trapped outside the Canyon of the Gods, the few hours Xiao Yu left were simply a mental torture!
They worry about gains and losses. On the one hand, they are worried that Xiao Yu will never come back. On the other hand, they are afraid of Xiao Yu's capriciousness and are anxious about the future.
Enric gently swallowed a small piece of biscuit crumbs, and a strong fragrance immediately filled his mouth, causing him to secrete a large amount of saliva, which almost flowed out of his mouth.
"You are indeed the Son of God as our ancestors said. The food you bring out at will is no worse than the delicacies made by the best chef in the capital."
"Such an adult will definitely not abandon us casually." The followers around Anric nodded in agreement, and they all stared at the small mountain of biscuit crumbs on the ground with emotion.
"Your Majesty, there are a total of 125 refugees left, of which 75 are young and strong. I have arranged for them to be driven into battle if there are any changes."
A bald man wearing leather armor walked behind Enric. He was the only one among these followers who had experience in training the army, so he was assigned this task.
"Oh, I hope we won't need them." Enric sighed, and was about to say something comforting when he suddenly noticed a black line appearing on the horizon ahead.
Accompanied by the increasingly dense black lines, the sound of neat footsteps and the whistling sound in the air, everyone in the tent fell into deep uneasiness.
Chapter completed!
