The Inverted Dragon’s Scale
Chapter 555: Die Together!
Don't let Lu be beheaded, Fengcheng falls back into the hands of Lu clan Li Shepherd.
However, they face a serious problem.
Food shortages!
Wind City is located on the border of the Empire and has been covered by wind and sand for many years, and can only harvest green or hemp seeds once a year. When the climate is particularly harsh, it is almost entirely grainless to come down the year.
Fengcheng people, on the one hand, rely on their own production, on the other hand, to replace their food with textiled linen or peeled animal hides and former merchants. The Imperial Army, for the most part, is fed by the court, which sends food from several large, food-producing cities within the Jade Gate.
Now that the city pools have been taken, the Empire has not had time to withdraw its hand to reclaim them, but the delivery of food has naturally been interrupted.
The food in the city would have been enough to sustain the 100,000 troops throughout Wind City for the entire winter, but after such a war, many fires were burned down, and the number of soldiers throwing in continued to increase, the food was far from being used.
Thousand Dollars said it was a matter for the shepherd Li, so I couldn't get involved. Shepherd Li had to figure it out for himself.
He used three hundred and seven heads to pay tribute to Grandpa's land, land and air, as well as to the Lu clans who were slaughtered during the rebellion and to the senior generals loyal to Grandpa.
“The dragon killed a man and cut off more than 300 heads."
“It has been shown that heaven will continue to cut all those who have betrayed their own people."
“The dragon likes to kill and eat people's hearts and minds like the legend has told him to cut off their heads and let them clean up their hearts and their livers and everything, and fry them.”
Such rumours circulate in the city and in tents outside it.
Luckily, Lu did not use it and all three hundred and seven of his main characters were beheaded. Those Wind City soldiers were slaughtered by the Ghost Dance Corps and the Demon Eagle Army. After seeing that black dragon sneeze, they destroyed most of the magic of the walls. There was no will to fight, and there was no resistance.
As for the Ghost Dance Corps and the Demon Eagle Army, there are two important figures who win the thousand degrees and the sea. Even if their hearts are defamatory, they cannot do anything that affects the security of the city.
However, the defectors outside are confused and difficult to distinguish.
Those three hundred and seven heads are cut off, and naturally those who have the heart to make a move will develop fear, and those who do not have the will will to escape.
After the fermentation and spread of this emotion, someone finally started to evacuate, and then more people followed.
By the time Li Shepherd woke up, half the army under the corner of the city had escaped.
“Stay here now, or the heart of the Lu family, willing to live and die with the family no matter what happens. Either they stay and find mechanisms to create unrest and cooperate with the Imperial Army in the fight. It doesn't matter now whether they are the former or the latter, and most importantly, it's the western wind that counts.” Shepherd Li threw the towel into the wooden basin and said silently.
“You don't have to worry, I've sent a message to Father Bee Butterfly and he won't ignore it if he wants to come.” Thousand Degrees said with comfort.
“And don't embarrass him.” Shepherd Li shook his head gently. “My identity was revealed, and I am sure it has spread throughout the Nine Kingdoms of Shenzhou. The princess of the Peacock Dynasty led the Ghost Dance Corps into the country and rescued them. The master won the battle to destroy dozens of practitioners. Later, the Black Flame Empire helped me defeat the Western Wind Alliance. You've done too much. Now, all the contradictions within the Nine Kingdoms are concentrated on you. If your father sends more troops, he may cause animosity towards the Peacock dynasty. ”
Thousand degrees sighed softly, and she knew Li Shepherd was quite right.
He personally led the Ghost Dance Corps into the territory of the Westwind Empire to assist Li Shepherd, which is already a major offense. A slight indiscretion would trigger a dispute between the two countries and even a brutal war.
Fortunately, the new loss of the Westwind Empire preceded the sudden need for stability within the Empire. On weekdays, the Westwind Empire would have mobilized troops to prepare for the attack.
If other royal families, princes or princesses do such things, they will certainly be punished by the royal family. I rely only on my father's love for me. If anything happens to shake the capital of the country, I think Father will consider it carefully.
So, it's an unknown number whether Father can send troops in response to his own call for help.
Even if Father wants to do it, he should be worried about the reaction of the people. In this situation, who is willing to go into conflict with a powerful empire?
Besides, they were trying to save a dragon because no other country, including the Blackflame Empire, would agree to do this except their own Father, who was not afraid of God.
Lin Canghai was able to lead the army, partly because of his deep feelings with Li Shepherd. Besides, he could be under the guise of threatening his life and coming to guard him.
If the Blackflame Empire knew that he had run to the border to lead 100,000 demon eagle armies, it would be a blackflame, fearing that the beard of the Blackflame King would be distorted.
Of course, the Black Flame King now naturally knows, but Lin Canghai just doesn't want to go back. I'm afraid the Black Flame Empire will soon send someone to recall Lin Cang Hai.
“It's all right.” Li Shepherd smiled at the corner of his mouth. “Isn't it much better now than we were the other day? There's hot food, hot water, comfortable quilts, and a city pool to guard, and a hundred thousand brothers to fight alongside us, and I've been very satisfied. ”
“But what about you? ”
“What's wrong with me? ”
“What are you going to do? Have you thought about your future? ”
“Me.” Lee Shepherd laughed. “Protect Wind City first. When Fengcheng guarded me, I went to Kunlun Ruins. Perhaps I found the legendary Kunlun Shrine? I could live with the cold, but my father couldn't. Anyway, I have to go. ”
“What would you do if you found the shrine, found the beast, got what you wanted, cured your uncle and the cold in your body? ”
“Next?” Li Shepherd thought seriously and said with a smile: “It's too far away. I haven't thought about it yet. ”
“Are you going to run away forever? ”
Li Shepherd looked up at Thousand Degrees and said softly: “Neither do I. I don't want to live a homeless life, but I am a dragon. If I were there, it would be disastrous. I'm sorry to die, but I can't let my family and friends die with me."
“Shepherd Lee and I are going to the Peacock Dynasty.” Thousands of degrees stared into the eyes of Lee Shepherd. “I'm protecting you. ”
Dang.
The door of the room was broken open and Lin Haifeng ran in excitedly, shouting: "Lee Shepherd, Lee Shepherd, everyone outside the city ran away. The food crisis is over."
Thousand degrees was also in Li Shepherd's room. Although Lin Canghai was slightly surprised, he bowed courteously to Qiandu and said: "Good morning, Sister Wang. I didn't expect to see Sister Wang here. ”
Thousand degrees of playful face is slightly reddish, so early in the morning to the bedroom of Li Shepherd, it does make people think.
However, after all, she was the daughter of the royal family, an atmospheric person. Her expression soon returned to normal. She looked at Lin Canghai and said: “Panicked, no manners. Didn't the court teach you to knock before entering someone else's room? ”
Lin Canghai smiled bitterly and said: “Sister Wang taught me that I was just too excited. That's why some reckless shepherds aren't to blame, is it? ”
Shepherd Li shook his head with a smile and said: "So did my sister. Since she was a kid, she never knocked on the door when she came into my room. She kicked me in the door with her feet every time."
Thousand degrees of ‘Poop' laughed softly and said: “Yesterday I spoke to Miss my sister for a while, naive and cute. I like her very much.”
“I was afraid she was going to make a big fuss and say something that pissed you off. And don't worry about it. ”
“How can that be? I love to miss my sister.” He shook his head a thousand degrees. I didn't tell you about the gifts from Grandson Yo and Rocky. It would be a little embarrassing.
“By the way, shepherd, I finally understand why you cut off more than 300 heads yesterday in front of everyone in the city building. You're trying to kill an exemplar and scare the ghosts out of themselves, so get away early, right? ”
“There are ghosts in their hearts, they won't run away.” Li Shepherd said with a smile. “Because they have a mandate and a command, they need to stay the course no matter what happens. ”
“Ah, all the ghosts left outside the walls?” Lin Canghai was shocked and said: “The registrar went to report to me that the third # of the troops stationed outside the city gate went to second place, and the food crisis was resolved. I thought your angel's means worked yesterday. I didn't expect to scare away all those who had thrown sincerely, but I left all those who were pregnant with ghosts behind. ”
“No, it is also possible that they are all forces loyal to our Lu family.” Li Shepherd said with a smile.
“How do you distinguish between them? ”
“There is no need to distinguish.” Li Shepherd said with a smile. “Because, whether they are the former or the latter, they have to accompany us in the same thing. ”
“Do what?” Lin Canghai asked in confusion.
“To die with us.” Shepherd Li sank.
