Section 700 Visitors
Lizard City, Red Keep, Hall of Thousand Candles.
The wall made of large obsidian stones is crisscrossed with ravines and covered with irregular cement joints. It looks simple and rough, but some of it is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the dots of candlelight.
The copper lampstand is embedded in the wall, and the swaying flames emit a faint halo.
The dim firelight illuminated the high platform in the middle, and three shadows extended from the ground to the wall.
They all have full curves and graceful postures. They are either sitting, standing, leaning, dignified, glamorous, or enchanting.
The candlelight flickered, and the flickering light reflected three stunning faces.
If someone were here, they would definitely be amazed. Even if there are many beauties and stars gathered at the anniversary celebration, it is difficult to see such a scene.
The three women on the high platform are all super beauties that are rare in the world. If you pick any one of them, you can choose the courtesan of that year, and her beauty will be the best. Even the rock queen Ouyang Tianhua will be overshadowed when she comes in front of them.
It is really strange that three super beauties of this level come together.
However, not everyone can see such a picture. Even the mastermind of Mingwang dare not monitor the picture in the hall, let alone ordinary TV stations.
The woman on the throne is childish and half-baked. It would be more appropriate to say she is a girl. At this moment, her beautiful eyes are half open and half closed, and her expression is a bit lazy. But it is not the kind of morbid condition caused by lack of sleep. Her face is rosy, and her skin is
She is bright and beautiful, and her blood is very strong. It is more like a kind of neurotic laziness, and she can't get enough sleep no matter how much she does.
"Has he set off?"
The leader of the Northern Alliance, Demon Princess Aaliyah, asked lazily, looking at the eldest princess Lacey on the left side of the throne.
Lacey naturally knew who "him" Aaliya was referring to. Although she resisted that person in her heart and wanted to cut the person's body into pieces and feed it to the dog, then cremate the dog and throw it into the sea, but
She answered anyway.
"Three hours ago, the last troops of the expeditionary force left their nest... stronghold."
Lacey subconsciously said the word "den" because in her mind, that person was a bandit. A shameless person who could be shot a hundred times and exiled for 100,000 years could not understand the hatred in his heart. Naturally, the place where he was stationed was a den, not a den.
Stronghold. However, she responded quickly and changed her story in time.
"What do you think is the chance of winning this expedition to Silver Claw?"
Aaliya turned her head and her eyes fell on the face of the great priest Ye Yang Bailiu on the right side of the throne.
"I think..." Ye Yang Bailiu hesitated and said, "He has little chance of winning."
"Why?" Aaliyah asked.
"The top commander of the expeditionary force is only a low-level mercenary and has not received any formal military education. It is okay for him to lead a mercenary group of hundreds or thousands of people, but I am afraid that he will not be able to lead an army of 200,000 people." Ye Yang
Bai Liu paused for a moment, then continued his analysis, "In addition, the composition of the expeditionary force is relatively complex, and the main force is made up of mercenary groups from all over the world. Once encountering a large-scale war, they are likely to fight independently and cannot use the number of group troops.
Huge advantage, but prone to confusion."
Aaliyah nodded and turned to look at Lacey, "What do you think?"
After a brief thought, Lei
Xi replied seriously, "I think the chance of winning is very high, more than 95%." She looked straight ahead with a certain determination.
"Is that so?" Aaliyah was a little confused.
"Although Commander Chen is from a pariah background, wild dogs also have a way of survival..." Lacey analyzed, "Our attack on Silver Claw Principality this time is from the northern wilderness, and among the commander-in-chief of the entire principality, there is no one
More familiar with the northern wilderness than he is."
"In fact, Commander Chen's brain circuit is different from ordinary people, his thoughts are rather strange, and he often does not act according to common sense. When he meets Wei Haitang, who has outdated ideas and rigid thinking, it may have miraculous effects~"
Although she was saying nice things, Lacey had already scolded Chen Xing three times without any emotion - a pariah, a wild dog, and something wrong with his brain.
Aaliyah held her chin up and thought for a while, then looked around suspiciously, "Why do I feel..."
"None of you seem to be telling the truth."
Yeyang Bailiu and Lacey showed a hint of embarrassment at the same time, obviously they had been seen through.
Aaliyah is not smart, but she is not stupid either. People who can sit on the throne are not so easy to deceive.
Ye Yang Bailiu's real thought is that Chen Xing has a great chance of winning.
This is not a woman's preference for her man, but the rational judgment of a great priest.
Although on the surface, the expeditionary force had many disadvantages, along the way, Chen Xing accomplished one thing after another that seemed impossible to her.
This person's talent is very weak, and his previous attributes were not even a fraction of hers. He ran back from the Black Death Continent, destroyed the Yang family, used hero potions to break through the limits, forcibly absorbed counterfeit weapons to be promoted to lord level, attacked Seven Layers Mountain at night, etc., every day
What seemed impossible becomes possible.
So she is confident that Chen Xing can achieve great results.
When Aaliya asked her, the reason why she said there was little chance of winning was because she hoped that Aaliya could devote more resources to her men.

Lacey's purpose was the opposite. She was not optimistic about Chen Xing at all, but she expressed her affirmation in front of Aaliya. The purpose was to reduce the Northern Alliance's support for Chen Xing.
And while various inner dramas were playing out in the Qianzhu Hall, several leaders of the Four Nations Alliance also received news of the launch of the expeditionary force.
In this world where information is developed and satellite networks are ubiquitous, it is difficult to keep the movements of large legions secret. In addition, the Ambergris River countries are originally one country. The citizens mix with each other, you have me and I have you, and spies are planted.
Buying information is not difficult.
However, they didn't know which side Chen Xing's troops were going to attack. Should they attack the Chiyan Mountains directly, or take a detour to Silver Claw and Hanling?
Among the four kingdom lords, only Black Spear is not affected, because Black Spear is in the far east and has no bordering territories.
"Military advisor, what do you think of the expeditionary force?" Marquis Chiyan looked at Lin Yuanzheng's holographic projection.
"If you want to understand an army, you must first understand its commander." Lin Yuanzheng spread his hands, "I know very little about this Chen Xing and cannot make a judgment for the time being."
"However, my preliminary judgment is..." Lin Yuanzheng paused and looked at Marquis Haitang, "Their target will be Silver Claw."
"Why?" Marquis Haitang frowned and asked
road.
"They have regained their face in Chiyan and will not try again." Lin Yuanzheng said, "Silver Claw and Black Feather border, just forming a pincer attack with the expeditionary force."
Marquis Haitang's expression changed slightly, and then he fell into deep thought.
The other three heads of state remained silent, leaving Marquis Haitang time to think.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis, there is someone who claims to be the envoy of the Lan Kingdom. I want to see you."
While he was thinking, an attendant came in to report.
"Lan Country?" Marquis Haitang looked confused. Although he had heard of this newly established country, he had no contact with them.
"He asked me to show you this..." The attendant opened his palm and revealed what was inside.
It is a badge made of sapphire crystal, the whole body is blue, the surface exudes the shimmer of ocean waves, and is engraved with exquisite petals.
Marquis Haitang was immediately stunned, his eyes widened, and after a while he hurriedly said: "Please!"
This badge is the royal badge of the Malan royal family, the ruler of Ambergris River!
PS:
I'm very sorry. I said I would update it daily these days, but I couldn't write it for a long time.
I was so busy some time ago that I didn't think through some small details of the subsequent plot, so I wrote it very slowly.
The article has reached this word count, and the information is very large. If you don't think it through clearly, it is easy for bugs to appear, or even the plot to collapse.
I have always believed that details determine success or failure, so I have to think clearly and thoroughly before I write.
The audio version of Totem has recently been remastered, and it is a high-definition version. It must have cost a lot of money to produce.
In Himalaya, you can go and try it out. Male and female dubbing, sound effects, and background music are all live.
And this incident also strengthened my belief that only books written with real heart can withstand the test of time.
It has been two years since Totem was completed, and it still has commercial value and can attract others to invest resources.
Therefore, the data wasteland will be like a totem. It is better to write slower but maintain a certain quality.
At this point, there are many things that need to be thought through.
If we want to use an analogy, this part is like the middle part of a peanut. It has a thin waist, but it is important. It connects the past and the future.
Here, Chen Xing has entered the world stage from a small figure in the fringe area, and has the power to influence the pattern of the mainland.
For the character, this is an improvement and a transformation. What he sees, hears, and encounters all undergo earth-shaking changes.
The character's stance and thinking mode are all changing.
This is an arduous and huge process.
Although the main line of Data Wasteland is very clear, success or failure is determined by details, and I must ensure that every detail can withstand scrutiny.
Let this world be full of reality.
Therefore, I hope that everyone can patiently accompany the captain and get through this most difficult period together.
Chapter completed!
