"Your Highness the Prince, Mo Jiangyuan is going!"
Just when the meeting hall fell into an embarrassing situation, suddenly, a graceful female soldier wearing silver armor strode outside the door.
After being not as good as a soldier, she saluted everyone in the hall. Her expression was neither humble nor arrogant. There was a formidable murderous look between her eyebrows, and on her head, there was a faint halo, forming a huge halo.
"Angel!"
All the generals stood up one after another with a look of awe on their faces, and even Prince Charles stood up with a look of respect on his face.
In the religions believed in in heaven, angels are spirits who serve God. God sends them to help people in need of salvation, convey God's will, and are God's spokespersons on earth.
The appearance of an angel is human-like, that is, the shape of a god. It emits light on its body, has a halo above its head, and has wings on its back. Although many people claim to have witnessed the appearance of angels, angels themselves are disembodied spirits.
There are very few examples of materialization, and it consumes a lot of spiritual power. If it wants to appear in a physical form without consuming spiritual power, it has to possess it. But because angels are "pure bodies", they cannot possess people.
The only body of any living creature that can only be possessed is the body of the Immaculate Sin, a soulless biological body. Angels are the incarnation of pure "good", so they will never tolerate the existence of "evil", but they are not considered friends of humans.
.
All the generals knew this female soldier, but they had already seen from the light above the female general's head that the female soldier had been possessed by an angel.
Prince Charles did not immediately agree to the angel's request, but politely sent the angel away.
After the angel left, the meeting hall fell into suffocating silence again.
People were not happy because of the appearance of angels, because the appearance of angels was not a good thing, which meant that angels had lost confidence in them and directly participated in human wars.
Usually, wars between humans are proxy wars of gods. Although there are superpowers participating in the battle, it is still extremely rare for gods to directly participate in human battles.
The participation of gods in human battles indicates that wars will become more and more cruel and cruel.
"What about the intelligence blackout?" Prince Charles suddenly asked.
"Your Highness, our army has blocked all news starting from the Emperor Grand Canyon and Shanhai Pass. However, this blockade may not last too long. The Han army at Zhenshuiguan should be able to get it soon.
information."
"How long is the lockdown estimated to last?" Prince Charles frowned.
"Shanhaixiongguan has fallen for seven days. The general believes that the Han Empire will be able to get the news in seven days at most."
"In other words, we have at most seven days to prepare?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Is there any accurate information about the mountains and seas?"
"According to intelligence, there are now 130,000 troops under Zhou Sen's command, of which 100,000 are Russian soldiers, and the remaining 30,000 are Han veterans and temporary recruits. Among the 130,000 troops, 80,000 are cavalry and 30,000 are infantry.
Ten thousand, a number of handymen..."
"Where are the weapons and food?"
"Our weapons depot in the Er Empire was captured by the Er people. They now have ample weapons and weapons, but... because the Er desert is far away, they cannot transport a large amount of grain and grass in a short period of time. Currently, the mountains and seas of Xiongguan are
Food can last for a month at most, or even less. If we have time, we can defeat them without a fight as long as we go back to the Er Desert and cut off their supply lines for up to two months..."
"Do we have two months?" Prince Charles sneered.
All the generals were silent.
As Prince Charles said, do they have two months?
Not to mention two months, two weeks is too long.
Now, not only Zhou Sen, who lives in the mountains and seas, is facing a food and grass crisis, but the Crusaders of the Han Empire are also facing the same crisis.
Of course, the Crusaders can use war to support war. The problem is that once they use war to support war, the previous policy of appeasing the people will be in vain. The situation that was finally stabilized will become unstable due to the plunder of the Crusaders, causing the Crusaders to occupy
There was strong resistance from the common people of the Han Empire in the area.
Prince Charles is in a dilemma.
Although the Crusaders are full of masters, none of them are completely sure of defeating Zhou Sen. In this battle, they can only win, not lose.
If defeated, the Crusaders will be in dire straits.
Thinking of this, even Prince Charles felt shuddering.
Zhou Sen's move was so powerful that it made Prince Charles, who had never failed to win, feel endless pressure.
What would be the consequences if angels were allowed to participate in the war?
Thinking of this, Charles showed a wry smile on his face.
Charles knew very well what it meant for angels to join the war, which meant that countless gods would be involved.
There are so many powerful people in the Gods and Demons Continent. It can be seen from the war potential of the Han Empire. Thousands of superpowers and monsters have joined the war. It can be seen that there are probably a large number of god-level people living in seclusion here.
character.
Usually, behind the gods-level figures, there are very complicated backgrounds with countless connections.
The battle between gods is a disaster for all living beings.
Just after setting foot on this continent, Prince Charles felt an ominous premonition, because many senior Crusaders generals had summoned clones of gods during battles.
For this reason, Prince Charles was furious. He did not want senior generals to summon gods to participate in human battles, not to mention that it was still at a time when the Crusaders had an absolute advantage.
Prince Charles's ominous premonition was confirmed, because the senior generals of the Crusaders frequently summoned the avatars of gods to fight, provoking some extremely difficult characters, including the Sky Rat, the Monkey King and the Bull Demon King. These terrifying existences all
Can compete with gods...
…
"Okay, let's let the angels fight!"
After a long silence, Prince Charles had a serious look on his face. He was on the verge of death and had no choice.
This battle is determined to be won.
That night, the beautiful angel arrived at Vaal City not far from the Mountain and Sea Pass at starry night.
Waal City was a prosperous economic and trade city on the western border of the Han Empire. Because it was prosperous and densely populated, the Crusaders regarded it as an important garrison place. After the fall of Shanhaixiongguan, the Crusaders from all directions
, gathered in the city of Vaal and formed a confrontation with the Russian army at the mountain and sea passes.
During this period of time, the Crusaders in Vaal City had been gathering. On the fifteenth day, the total strength had reached 150,000.
On the thirteenth day, the angel rushed to Vaal City.
Angel did not come alone. In order to ensure that he could regain the Imperial Grand Canyon and the Mountain and Sea Pass, Prince Charles also sent three generals to assist Angel.
These three generals are not simple. They are also famous in the Kingdom of Heaven. They are not much inferior to the murderer King Haide.
On the tenth day, Zhou Sen quietly left Shanhaixiongguan.
No one knows where Zhou Sen has gone. In fact, no one knows that Zhou Sen has left, because Zhou Sen left his avatar behind and sat at the mountain pass.
Zhou Sen arrived at Vaal City.
Just like Prince Charles thought, Zhou Sen also knew that the next battle would be related to the success or failure of the Crusaders. As long as he withstood the first wave of the Crusaders' attack, the next battle would be easy.
A lot, because at that time, the Han army thousands of miles away already knew that he had cut off the Crusaders' retreat.
It is conceivable that once General Wu Yuan learns that Zhou Sen has captured Shanhai Pass, he will definitely launch a fierce attack to contain the Crusaders' military operations against Zhou Sen.
When things developed by that time, the Crusaders were attacked from both sides, their supplies were cut off, and it was only a matter of time before the entire army was annihilated.
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
Zhou Sen sneaked into Vaal City alone just to find out the news.
Vaal City is an immigrant city. It is said that hundreds of years ago, this place was still deserted. Later, many people from the Yintan tribe came here to do business, forming a huge open market. Gradually, merchants from the Han Empire also arrived here.
Finally, an extremely prosperous city was formed.
Because traffic was temporarily blocked, the open-air market in Vaal City was much deserted.
Of course, the so-called deserted is only relative. In fact, the open-air market is still crowded and lively.
Zhou Sen, who wore his hair in a bun and dressed as a business traveler, walked among the bustling crowds, thinking about how to win this kind of city.
For Zhou Sen now, he needs this kind of city very much, because it is a very rich city. As long as he occupies this city, food supply will not be a problem, and there is no need to transport it from Er, thousands of miles away.
Currently, Zhou Sen is facing the same dilemma as the Crusaders, lack of food and grass.
However, one advantage Zhou Sen has is that this is the territory of the Han Empire. He is standing on the home field. As long as he captures the city of Vaal, the local gentry and tycoons will support him. It is completely different from the Crusaders to support war with war.
Vaal City has become a piece of meat that Zhou Sen is determined to win.
The city of Waal was not originally a major military town. Only after the Crusaders invaded the Han Empire, the city of Waal became a very important city. The main reason is that this city can provide a large amount of tax revenue for the Crusaders, which is very difficult for the military.
For the Crusaders, it was extremely important.
After being occupied by the Crusaders, the city of Vaal became more prosperous due to the change of political power.
This was not Zhou Sen's first visit to Vaal City. He had passed through Vaal City many times before, and today he discovered that the open-air market in Vaal City was more than twice as large as before.
The open-air market in Vaal City was built on a huge wasteland, and the environment was similar to that of a desert. On the wasteland, business tents and stalls stretched for miles, criss-crossing, like a huge maze.
The open-air market in Vaal City is extremely rich in supplies. In addition to all kinds of local specialties, even some military supplies are also circulated here.
After wandering around for a full hour, Zhou Sen discovered that this open-air market, in addition to its abundant merchandise, was a huge underground market. He even saw many weapons from the Han Empire being openly sold.
There is no doubt that those weapons, stomachs, etc. were all circulated from the Crusader barracks, because many of the weapons have not yet been opened and are as bright as new. This shows that these military supplies were obtained directly from the warehouse.
from.
Theoretically, it was impossible for the people of the Han Empire to have access to military supplies, which meant that those military supplies were strategic supplies captured by the Crusaders and then quietly stolen and sold.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Crusaders executives themselves sell through some channels and line their own pockets.
Regardless of the possibility, it is abnormal for these military supplies to appear on the market.
Zhou Sen was walking with the flow of people, calculating rapidly in his mind. He vaguely seemed to have caught something, but for a while, he couldn't figure it out.
"Hey, brother, do you want military shoes?" Just as Zhou Sen was racking his brains, an Er man in a short coat pulled Zhou Sen, lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
"No." Zhou Sen shook his head subconsciously.
"Selling it to you cheaply."
"don't want."
"Let's take a look. Many young people like it. The variety is rich and the price is cheap."
"Do you have a knife?" Zhou Sen's heart moved.
"The knife... there's something wrong with this..." The Er man in short coat hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, with a look of vigilance on his face.
"never mind."
Zhou Sen turned around and walked away. The Er man looked unwilling, but he didn't bother anymore, and instead set his sights on the next target.
It seems that the circulation of weapons is still strictly prohibited!
Zhou Sen was wandering around and thinking wildly. He had an intuition that there were bugs among the Crusaders who were selling some of the captured trophies.
From the flood of military supplies on the market, we can be sure that this is a huge chain of interests, because it is absolutely impossible for ordinary Crusaders to be so bold, and one person cannot sell such large-scale military supplies...
…
Huge chain of interests!
Suddenly, Zhou Sen was shocked. If it was really a huge chain of interests, then there must be a lot of people involved. If all the moths were found, the entire high-level Crusaders in Vaal City might collapse, thus shaking the Crusaders.
Army morale.
In just a blink of an eye, a crazy plan was formed in Zhou Sen's mind.
"Hey, brother, do you want a belt?" Just as Zhou Sen was conceiving a crazy plan, a rough-looking man stopped Zhou Sen. In his hand, he held a belt used by the Han Empire cavalry.
"How much do you want?" Zhou Sen said calmly.
"How much do you want?" The man was overjoyed when he saw Zhou Sen stopped.
"The problem is that I want as much as you have. I have already formed a camel team and will leave here early the morning after tomorrow. Many companies have already sold these things to me, but the quantities are very small, so I did not accept the order.
"
"How many camels do you have?" asked the rough-looking man.
"Two hundred heads."
"Two hundred heads! Do you want all these things?" The rough man looked serious at first, then showed a suspicious expression and looked Zhou Sen up and down.
"Of course. As long as it is military supplies, I want them, and I can also add camels."
"This... I have to ask." The rugged man hesitated.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. If it works, that's fine. If it doesn't, I'll look at other options."
"Aren't you here specifically to sell these things?" The rugged man glanced around, a look of caution on his face.
"This is my first time at the Var Market. I saw a lot of military supplies for the Han army. If the price is cheap, I can resell some."
"Okay, if you really want to buy it, just wait for me for a while. This is my stall. This is my wife. You sit here for a while. I can reply to you within a stick of incense at most.
.”
"Ok, I will wait for you."
The rough man chatted a few times with the woman, said hello to Zhou Sen, and squeezed into the crowd.
The big man's wife is a fat Er woman who is very hospitable. She brings tea and water to Zhou Sen. She is very talkative. After chatting for a while, they got to know each other well. She wanted to introduce his sister to Zhou Sen as his wife. Zhou Sen reproduced casually.
She said yes, and as a result, the fat woman actually called her sister who was setting up a stall not far away.
"Sister, what are you doing?" A girl with a graceful figure and eyes as blue as the sky was called.
"Come on, I've found a husband-in-law for you. Look, he's pretty good. He's good-looking..."
"Sister..." The girl's face suddenly turned as red as an apple, with a coquettish look on her face.
"Young men should get married, and female students should get married. What's the point of being embarrassed? This is not how I came here back then." The fat woman grabbed her sister and dragged her to Zhou Sen, "Brother, my sister is pretty, isn't she?
I am not bragging, but my sister is the most beautiful in the entire Val City."
"Ahem...beautiful, beautiful..." Zhou Sen didn't expect to say this casually, but the other party actually called his sister, and he suddenly looked embarrassed.
However, this fat girl's younger sister is indeed beautiful, with fair skin, blue eyes, and a graceful figure, full of youthful air.
In Zhou Sen's eyes, Ore girls are young and beautiful, and their figures are even more protruding. However, it may be a racial problem. As soon as an Ore woman gets married and has children, her figure will immediately go out of shape, like the one in front of her.
Judging from the face shape of the fat woman in the stall, she must have been a stunning woman when she was young, but now she is no different from an old sow.
"Little brother, I wonder if my sister didn't tell you that the person who came to propose marriage broke the door of my house. My sister had a good chat with you just now, and she felt that you were a good person, so she called my sister here..."
"Sister, I'm still young..."
"You're still young! Where are you young?" The fat woman looked Zhou Sen up and down, and a chill ran down Zhou Sen's spine.
"I……"
"Okay, no matter whether the business is successful or not, you will spend the night at my house today." The fat woman said carelessly.
"Sister..." When the girl, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, heard, her face suddenly changed color.
"Sister, I believe in my sister's vision. I have been in this market for more than ten years and have met countless people. This little brother has a handsome appearance and good conversation. He will become a great person in the future. From now on, you are waiting to be a young mistress.
Come on!" the fat woman comforted the girl.
"..."
A red cloud appeared on the girl's face again, her head lowered, and she glanced at Zhou Sen secretly, with a shy and curious look on her face.
"..."
Zhou Sen opened his mouth wide. He vaguely felt something was wrong, because the fat woman didn't seem to be joking, and the girl who blushed frequently did not reject him.
Could it be that a lifelong event is determined so easily?!
What does it mean to spend the night at her house today?
This is too childish!
"Brother, there is good news."
Just when Zhou Sen was thinking about how to escape, suddenly, the rough man trotted over happily and grabbed Zhou Sen, his face filled with excitement.
"What's going on?" Zhou Sen asked.
"They happen to have a batch of goods to sell, but you have to leave tomorrow night."
"Tomorrow night...but my plan is for the morning the day after tomorrow..."
"There's no need to discuss it. If you can leave tomorrow night, then the business can be done. If you can't leave, the business can't be done."
"Why?"
"I don't know. In short, if you can leave tomorrow night, no matter how much goods you want, they can provide them. Of course, you have to pay in cash."
"There is no problem with funds, just time..."
"Brother, let's do this. You go make arrangements now and give me an answer tonight. If it works, I'll bring them over to discuss the price." Seeing Zhou Sen say that funds are not a problem, the rugged man said with great joy.
"also."
After Zhou Sen left the big man's contact address, he did not continue to inquire, but left the Var Market.
After leaving the Var Market, Zhou Sen did not hide his traces. Instead, he went straight to the horse shop in Var City, inquired about the rental price of packhorses and other issues, and booked two hundred camels and dozens of porters...
…
At dinner time, Zhou Sen arrived at the stall owner's house.
A sumptuous dinner had been prepared at the stall owner's house. When Zhou Sen entered, he vaguely felt something was wrong, because there were many experts surrounding the stall owner's house.
Above the stall owner's house, two people from heaven were sitting.
Why do we say we are from heaven?
In the past few years of dealing with people from Heaven, Zhou Sen has been able to identify people from Heaven at a glance based on their clothing and actions.
Although these two people have some style, they don't behave like soldiers.
After some shabby introductions, everyone ate together. The stall owner and his wife were extremely enthusiastic, while the graceful girl was busy busy, and glanced at Zhou Sen shyly from time to time. Zhou Sen accidentally discovered that the girl seemed to have been carefully dressed.
, However, Zhou Sen didn't take it to heart. After all, the two heavenly people were distinguished guests, so it was reasonable to dress up.
Everyone was chatting about one thing or another.
Of course, the purpose of this small talk is very clear - to inquire about Zhou Sen's background.
Now Zhou Sen is a Han man named Ma Yong. He is doing business in a desert town in Er. He mainly does some fur business. He buys some hunting weapons for hunters in the mountainous areas during his travels.
"Hunters also want a stomach?" A heavenly man picked up the teacup, drank a cup of it, and asked indifferently.
"Hey, it's popular now. Not to mention some hunters, some herdsmen will collect several sets of well-made armor and stomach for future generations..."
Zhou Sen's tongue was as bright as a lotus flower, and he made the ordinary people of the Er Empire's yearning for the weapons of the Han Empire so high that the world was filled with excitement.
The two heavenly people looked at each other and fell into a long silence.
What Zhou Sen said is actually correct. Nowadays, not only in Er, but also in the Han Empire, many people among the people collect standard weapons.
Of course, a large number of those who collect it have bad intentions, but this has little to do with them, because they themselves are selling stolen goods, and naturally they don't care about other people's uses.
"Do you want a bow and arrow weapon?" Another heavenly man stared at Zhou Sen with a pair of deep blue eyes.
"No, no, I just need to purchase some military supplies. Those long knives, bows and arrows are too obvious. If they are discovered by your Heavenly Crusaders, they all have to be confiscated. Although the profit is huge, the risk is too great and it is not worth the risk.
." Zhou Sen waved his hands repeatedly.
"However, we have a lot of weapons in this batch that we are eager to get rid of..."
"Brother, you also know that business is difficult to do now. If I swallowed the stomachs of two hundred camels and spent all my family property, if something went wrong, I would be bankrupt. Sorry, except for ordinary military supplies
I can't help with supplies and weapons." Zhou Sen pretended to be excited, and after careful consideration, he still declined the two's request.
"Hey, this is a problem..." The two heavenly people looked at each other with a trace of anxiety on their faces.
"The Han Empire is now in chaos. There are a lot of people who want weapons. Not to mention traders, even in this big Var market, there are countless people who can swallow the goods..."
"Haha, yes, okay, let's just decide, you prepare the camel team, and we will pay and deliver the goods tonight. In short, no matter what, it can't be later than tomorrow night, remember!"
The two heavenly people seemed to have no intention of eating. After explaining themselves, they took part of Zhou Sen's deposit and stood up to leave...
…
"How does this person feel?" After the two left the tent, one of the heavenly people asked the other heavenly person.
"He is an honest businessman, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Well, I feel the same way. Unfortunately, what we want now are dishonest customers. That batch of goods is too huge. We don't have much time left. If we don't deal with it, we may not have the chance to deal with it in the future."
"There is no problem with the stomach. The biggest problem now is the batch of long knives, bows and arrows. The Han people are afraid that we are setting a trap and dare not ask for the goods. Alas..."
"The businessman just now seemed to want weapons, but he didn't dare to ask for them. Otherwise, we will think of a way to convince him tomorrow. It would be best to be able to digest a batch of weapons."
"Okay, I'll come tomorrow."
…
The two of them sighed and disappeared into the darkness.
The identities of these two people are not simple. They are relatives of the guard of Vaal City. They specialize in reselling trophies and military supplies. The entire underground weapons trading market in Vaal City is almost monopolized by them.
Now, they encountered a problem.
Vaal City is about to change its general.
The day after tomorrow, the Crusaders generals from Orange Island will take over the entire city of Vaal. By then, it will not be so convenient for them to resell.
Therefore, the two are now working hard to sell the stolen goods and turn all the military supplies that can be sold into cash as soon as possible.
The problem lies here.
It is not easy to sell stolen goods on a large scale. Some traders only dare to purchase goods on a small scale. After all, people are afraid of dealing with the Crusaders. If they are discovered and charged casually, not only will their property be confiscated, but they will also be in trouble.
A fatal disaster.
Ordinary military supplies are also easy to sell. The most difficult ones are the Han's standard long knives and bows and arrows, because these are destructive weapons and are usually strictly controlled. Unlike those shoes, leather armors, etc., just put some military markings on them.
Get rid of it and sell it openly.
In fact, what the two of them hope most now is to meet the underground resistance organization of the Han Empire and acquire all the weapons at once.
For them, it doesn't matter to whom these weapons end up in the end, or how much damage they will cause to the Crusaders. What they care about is making a fortune in silence...
…
"Xiao Zhou, I'll sleep here tonight. The bed is already made."
"That's... okay." Zhou Sen originally wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that the other party would be suspicious. After hesitating for a while, he agreed.
Suddenly, Zhou Sen saw Xiaoyu sitting down to eat next to her with her head lowered, her ears red all the way to her neck.
Faintly, Zhou Sen felt something was wrong.
After eating, the couple drank tea with Zhou Sen, while Xiaoyu stood quietly waiting for everyone.
"Hey, it's getting late. Go to bed early. There's still work to do tomorrow. Xiao Zhou, your room is over there. Xiaoyu, wait for Xiao Zhou to wash up."
"Hey..." Xiaoyu lowered her head and her voice was barely audible.
After the couple entered the room, Xiaoyu began to help Zhou Sen wash up. Although Zhou Sen repeatedly refused, Xiaoyu just did it silently, and Zhou Sen had no choice but to accept.
going to sleep.
Zhou Sen was taken to a warm room by Xiaoyu.
As soon as Zhou Sen walked into the room, he felt the fragrance of a girl. It was obvious that this room was Xiaoyu's room.
"Xiaoyu, is this your room?" Zhou Sen felt a little inappropriate occupying a girl's boudoir.
"Yes." Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said softly.
"Then where are you sleeping?" Zhou Sen asked.
"..." Xiaoyu looked at Zhou Sen in surprise and confusion.
"Ahem... let me ask you where you sleep?"
"I sleep here too..." Xiaoyu stood behind the door, vigorously stirring the corners of her clothes, her plump breasts rising and falling rapidly.
"Ah..." Zhou Sen, who was originally sitting on the bed, suddenly jumped up as if he had been pricked by a needle, with a look of shock on his face.
