In early April, sporadic drizzle fell on the seaside. Outside Mintun Village around Jinwan City, there were large, lush, mixed-breed bean fields that had begun to be harvested.
In the name of the guidance of the Lord God, under the guidance of the kingdom's priests, new agricultural technological innovations, accompanied by higher food production, are being rolled out in an orderly manner in the villages around Jinwan City. And the various coastal ministries and flag brigades are
People's hearts have also become more stable with the increase in food production like God's blessing!
"The priests have inspected the recent harvest...according to the water and heat conditions of the seaside land, it is indeed possible to plant two crops a year...the 'Three Sisters' staple food in the summer and autumn, and the soybeans from the fertile fields in the autumn and spring. When the cassava reproduction begins,
Come, you can also plant barren mountain fields and use them as daily food rations for ordinary tribal people..."
After breakfast, Shulot was wearing a short robe and sitting cross-legged in the main hall, reviewing the latest reports coming from everywhere. His life has been very regular recently. He got up at dawn and practiced martial arts with the captain of the guard. Then, he had breakfast
, began to review the kingdom's documents and guide the government affairs of the Coastal Alliance. After sitting down to work and eating a simple bite at noon, he would be busy until the evening.
Later, after a big meal in the evening, he will go to the "cat" Yin Lian to taste some fresh desserts. Then he will play with the cat and enjoy a comfortable dream. Although Colima's "cat" is a bit wild
, likes to bite, but is actually very easy to masturbate, and will also hold "cat" contentedly and purr. After playing happily, "cat" is easily satisfied, neither noisy nor fussy. She will only stare at Mengmeng
Her eyes lay on his body like a bobcat, looking at him dreamily.
To be honest, a simple "cat" does not have as many tempting tricks as the charming snake girl, who can turn people into beasts. However, she is very reassuring and can make people laugh out loud.
Shulot could see through her at a glance, so it was extremely easy to get along with her, and he could sleep soundly every night.
“Relaxing days are such a luxury!…”
Hulot smiled as he recalled it, and then flipped through the documents on the table. From time to time, personal guards came in a hurry, bringing the latest oral messages and paper letters. The captain of the guard, Eckart, sorted out the copying according to the importance, and then
Respectfully put it on Xiulote's table and wait for His Highness' inspection.
"Well, Yun She Mountain City, Black Snake Turcotte's request? The back mountain fortress where he is stationed is short of salt and food. Do you want to smuggle some from the kingdom's siege army?"
After seeing this piece of information, Shulot pondered for a long time and suddenly asked the captain of the guard.
"Eckart! When did Mecat, Chihuako, and the Dark Snake team meet up with the Black Snake Turcotte?"
"Master! During the New Year Festival, the first document arrived from the warrior chief, saying that the black snake and the dark snake had connected... It is now the beginning of April, exactly three months ago!"
"Three months? Black Snake Turcotte hesitated for three months before sending a tentative reply for the first time... It seems that in his heart, he does not think highly of his son Dark Snake!... Also,
If he valued it, he wouldn't have lost his son and Chengpo would have run away... Well, no matter how you put it, private communication was finally established, which is also a rare opportunity!..."
Shulot thought for a while and then asked again.
"How long has it been since the siege of Cloud Snake Fortress? How long have they been without salt?"
"Master, in the Monkey Month of the Nine Flint Years (April 1488), King Avit led an army and began to besiege the three snake cities. By this time, in the House Month of the Twelve Reed Years (April 1491), Yun Sheshan City had already
It has been under siege for three full years!…A strict salt cut-off order has been issued for more than two years. The salt in Yun She Fortress must have been exhausted long ago, and it is estimated that it has been cut off for at least a year!…”
Captain Eckardt thought for a while and found an old military report.
"Your Highness, at the end of last year, people from Yunshe Fortress were driven down the mountain by the defenders one after another. Almost all of them were swollen and pale, like walking corpses... and according to their descriptions, even the salty food on the mountain was
The stones and soil were collected by the defenders and left to be licked by the divine descendants and warriors stationed there... As for the ordinary city residents, even the family scrolls of small nobles, they have not tasted salt for months..."
"Well, the siege has been going on for three years!... Even though there is still food in Yunshe Mountain City, the will of the ordinary defenders has probably fallen to the bottom!...According to Black Snake, Yunshe Mountain City plus the camps in the surrounding mountains
, there were initially more than 10,000 people! However, after three years of siege, only the two cities of Yunshe Qianshan and Houshan were left... Excluding the tribal people who died of illness, starvation, death in battle, and were driven down the mountain, there were only 2,000 people in Qianshan at this time.
The warrior militia and the thousand-strong garrison in the back mountain are all supported by the fields and springs of the front mountain and the back mountain..."
Seeing this, Shulot lowered his eyes slightly. Yunshe Mountain City was surrounded by more than 10,000 people, and only 3,000 people were left there. The tragedy can be imagined. But what is surprising is that the noble warriors who suppressed them in the front mountain
, the morale is quite stable. The city continues to drive the tribesmen down the mountain, and there is no large-scale cannibalism, which shows that the city still has a stable food output. In this case, it is estimated that it will take a while to continue to besiege the city.
Year!
"What a tough Yun Serpent tribe, what a stubborn Cloud Serpent descendant! ... What a natural and dangerous terrain! ..."
"After Yunshe Mountain City is conquered, should this impregnable fortress be completely destroyed?...Perhaps, I can leave a group of priests from the kingdom and hundreds of temple warriors to occupy this dangerous fortress...
Well, just in the name of building a temple and suppressing the Cloud Snake God!..."
Shulot thought for a while, then looked at the captain of the guard who had prepared some paper and ink, and ordered in a deep voice.
"King's order! The surrender of the Cloud Snake Fortress will be left to the warrior chief to make decisions on the fly! In addition, the salt requested by Black Snake Turcotte will be smuggled to him by the legion besieging the city! In addition, you can give him eight more
A month’s worth of food for a hundred people!…”
"Ah? Patriarch! You want to give salt to the Black Snake in the Cloud Snake Fortress, but also give him food?... Lord God! Why is this?..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hearing this, the face of the guard captain Ekart showed surprise. He looked at Shulot with doubts on his face, waiting for the wise head of the family to give advice.
Maze.
"Ha! Eckart, you guy!..."
Seeing this, Shulot laughed and shook his head. Whether the captain of the guard really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, he enjoyed the process of giving instructions and explanations, and he did so naturally.
"Black Snake was once the lord of Shuigu City and a descendant of the Tlaxcala people. He fled to Yunshe Mountain City. Although his identity was still there, he had lost his foundation and could not control many warriors in the city. Therefore, if he really wanted to raise the city
To surrender, you really need a batch of food and salt to prove your relationship with the defenders outside the city to some of the defenders in the city! Yes, so that these people can follow him and surrender!..."
"Of course, his request for food and salt from the besieging Kingdom Legion is also a kind of temptation! If we don't even give him these things, how can he believe my promise to him? After all, he doesn't believe me! Regarding what he wants,
Don't surrender and keep hesitating..."
"But if he really accepts the kingdom's food and salt... then it's not up to him whether to surrender or not! After all, this kind of collusion with an old enemy is very fatal! As long as it is leaked to the descendants of the Cloud Snake God in the city, even if
Ordinary warriors can accept it, but Tepetik, the Lord of Cloud Snake City, will definitely not accept any excuse! He will only kill Black Snake immediately!..."
Speaking of this, Shulot looked gloomy and felt inexplicably emotional.
"Whether Black Snake Turcotte really surrendered or was a fake surrender... As long as he can get supplies from the bottom of the mountain, it will shake the Cloud Snake City Lord Tepetik's control over the entire fortress... And this life-and-death matter
At this critical moment, the person who threatens and shakes the power of Yun She City Lord is his life-and-death enemy!... If Yun She City Lord didn't have such a consciousness, it would be impossible to defend to this day!..."
"Ah! That's it! The master of the house is wise!"
Eckart, the captain of the guard, knelt down respectfully with admiration on his face. After a few breaths, the sincere admiration on his face turned into heartfelt joy.
"Blessed by the Lord God! It seems that the everlasting Cloud Snake Fortress will finally fall into your hands!..."
"Haha! God's blessing! As long as we break through the Cloud Snake Fortress and the Hidden Snake Holy City... this Eastern Expedition, which lasted for more than three years, has finally been completed!..."
"Yes! Patriarch! You have destroyed cities and countries one after another, but you have accomplished something unprecedented in the alliance's epic!..."
Having said this, the captain of the guard, Eckardt, pursed his lips, calmly, and admonished him naturally again.
"Praise the Lord God! Your advice just now really makes me admire, but also make me very uneasy!... As long as the threat shakes the power, it will be your life and death enemy... Family leader! Regarding the envoy recently sent by the alliance... Regarding the king's request, you cannot always
It’s about giving in…”
"Witness the Lord God! Eckart, stop talking!... I know my choice very well... Next, I will only give in this time..."
Shulot glanced at Eckart who was lying on the ground, rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and sighed softly.
"The king has sent several waves of envoys. I know the inner and outer meanings of his words, as well as his thoughts! The alliance must not have a civil war break out at this time... Therefore, I have agreed to the king's request.
Envoy, after the Eastern Expedition is over, he will definitely return to the capital in the lake to participate in the sacred ceremony!..."
"The capital city in the lake will be a gorgeous cage, the cage Avit prepared for me. I will walk into the cage by myself, but I will not stay for too long. As long as my prophecy comes true, the white-skinned evil demon's ship arrives... Avit
With greater threats and enemies, he will turn his attention away from me. He will believe my previous promises and my reasons for asking for the seaside land..."
Having said this, Shulot paused, with a rare hesitation on his face. In fact, after experiencing so many things, his trust in King Avit was already very weak. But to really make him believe, let him
The only person who is willing to take the risk and return to the capital in the lake is his wife Alyssa, apart from the great cause of the alliance, the future of the kingdom, his own father, his own son... and so on!
"Alyssa, I believe in her!...My cloud spirit, she has never failed me...I will give my life to her once...just as..."
Shulot pursed his lips, thinking of the beautiful figure in white and Jin Liao's letter, and took a deep breath. He closed his eyes, waved his hands, and kept the last low self-talk deeply in his heart.
"Just think of it as...I owe you...my wife, Alyssa..."
"As long as you return it, I will never fight with Avitt in the civil war for power!...I will wait patiently...and this is also the promise I promised you! On the letter you hand-drawn, you held my hand, and you also
Holding your father's hand, the beginning of the story will also come to the end of the story..."
