Chapter 59: Swallowing Luonan (2) Dark Moon and High Wind



A beautiful moonlit night with high winds.

The moonlight is bright, illuminating the entire continent and giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.

But this beautiful night did not feel very good for the people of Licheng.

Because the nobles in the city made them come outside the city to perform labor at night.

Recently, this city-state wants to build a road from Bencheng to Yuqing City in Yan State, because in their imagination, when the envoys return, Yan State will definitely give them gold coins crazily.

"Oh~ When will this day end?"

An old man was frantically hitting the frozen, dry ground with a hoe. Winter was about to come, but the cold wind blowing on the old man did not make him feel any cold.

Maybe I'm used to it...

"I just finished the autumn harvest a few days ago, and now I have to do labor service again. All the harvested grain was given to the nobles in the city as taxes. I feel like there's really no point in living."

A young man said.

"What can I do? I should think about what stories will be told in the teahouse tomorrow. I happened to be here from the countryside these days, and the storytellers from Yan Country are really good."

The old man felt a little longing. He smashed the iron pestle in his hand, which was used as equipment he had bought from Yan Country, to the ground and exhaled a few breaths of hot air. In this bright night, the hot air was actually visible.

Scenes like this may no longer be seen in ten or even dozens of years, so people today may cherish such beautiful scenery.

It’s not that these people can’t see it, but that they will become Yan people by then, so they can’t see it.

In Duan Tianming's vision, early industrialization will take place in ten years, and the moonlight will be buried by lights in a few decades. Such a scene can only be recalled when one returns to the countryside.

The steam from the factory will rush into the sky, and light pollution will gradually erode the entire God-forsaken Continent.

The so-called bright moonlight is left for people to remember and pursue. No one really wants to return to this era.

While these people were working, the barbarians from the north had already begun a sneak attack. They were observing the environment here in the mountains and forests, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

"General, the moonlight is too much of a hindrance right now, but overall, this kind of deployment is worth a try."

A soldier specializing in reconnaissance reported.

"We have to hurry up and try to finish it this evening. Then we can relocate the population as quickly as possible. Yan Country is not coming this time."

Wang Kun explained.

At this time, the two thousand soldiers of Shenqi Kingdom had all arrived, and the gates of Licheng were open to build roads.

"Old man, I heard that the barbarians are quite rampant recently. I'm a little scared."

The young man was shivering from the cold.

"What can we do? We can just do our own thing."

The old man said this and started working again. These were all things that meat eaters were concerned about, and none of his business.

"kill!"

An army rushed over directly, scaring the surrounding laborers into running away in all directions.

"Ahhh! The barbarians are coming!"

“Ahhhh!”

People including the old man fled frantically, and the soldiers on the city wall were preparing to close the city gates.

Bare your teeth!

The city gate slowly closed, and at this time the army just passed the laborers and rushed to the city gate.

"Break the city!"

Wang Kun shouted, he had been waiting for many days for this opportunity to open the city gate, and now he finally succeeded. It was worth it that he specially selected the best running soldiers in the army, and finally he controlled the city gate.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

There was a panic in the city, and when the barbarians took control of the city walls, the defending army was finally ready.

These troops were all in tattered clothes and were holding inferior ironware purchased from Yan Country. They were far inferior to the tall and well-equipped soldiers of Shenqi Country.

"General, the palace has been surrounded. Some of the nobles inside have escaped, but most are still there."

A soldier came to report.

As soon as the army broke into the city, a group of people were arranged to go to the palace, and another group occupied the city walls. It seems that the effect is quite good now.

"Alright, those who escaped don't need to worry about it. We need them to spread the news. We will quickly seize the population and confiscate the wealth. Pay attention to the military discipline emphasized by the gods. This battle is supervised by the gods themselves. Anyone who dares to embarrass my army of the Divine Qi Kingdom, beware of my ruthless axe."

Wang Kun explained loudly.

Among all the generals, only Wang Kun had the loudest voice. He was not afraid of these people hearing what he said, and many things did not need to be explained.

"yes!"

The army of Shenqi Kingdom didn't even look at the troops who were busy guarding the palace, and quickly began to perform their own tasks.

One night, the entire town was "looted" and all tasks and disciplines were strictly enforced. Zhao Yuqing was observing from above and reported the news to Shenqi Kingdom and Yan Kingdom.

Now she is more like a tool to coordinate communications, but the role she plays is indeed very critical.

This invasion is not over yet, the real show will start in a few days.

At dawn the next day, the population of the entire Li State was reduced by half, but the miracle was that there were no casualties in the countryside. Except for the nobles in the city who were slaughtered, there was no blood in the city-state, and naturally there were no people. All the people and all the supplies were moved to the mountains and forests.

"whee!"

Zhao Yuqing was very excited. This time she made a lot of money. Not only did she get thousands of people, but she also got a large amount of supplies.

"Don't be so happy. Think carefully about how to accommodate so many people in your mountains and forests."

Duan Tianming couldn't stand this the most and started making sarcastic remarks.

"Haha, now the entire basin and river valley area of ​​the Luolong Mountains can basically be reclaimed into arable land. We have a large number of manpower ready there. Coupled with the divine talents, there is no need to worry about the mountains not being able to develop."

Zhao Yuqing said proudly.

"Okay, it's really good."

Duan Tianming had to admit that this god really had real abilities. The originally scattered forests were arranged in an orderly manner by him, and the two mountain expressways directly revitalized the Luolong Mountains.

While others are eager to occupy more plains, she is able to thrive in the mountains.

"Hurry up and prepare to attack again. This time we don't need to break through. We will go to stop them. We need to put on a few more good scenes."

After Duan Tianming finished his explanation, he left the temple to arrange the publicity of the incident.
