That evening.
Crusader camp.
Truckloads of cool and refreshing bottled water were delivered.
The Crusaders were incredibly excited to see these fountains of life.
One by one, they ran out of the tent, their eyes red, staring intently at the bottled water.
If the Crusader generals hadn't intervened, a fight would likely have broken out over the water.
Lin Mo not only brought the Crusaders bottled water, but also freshly baked black bread, butter, and bacon.
The Crusaders were utterly dumbfounded.
Upon seeing this, Baldwin began to believe.
This regent of Bactria really did go to Jerusalem and really traveled the world!
Otherwise, how would he know the Crusaders' favorite food?
So why fight the Crusaders? It was to punish their impurity.
Punish them for being blind and unable to see through Saladin's treacherous scheme.
Yes!
That must be the case, otherwise there's no other explanation!
Veteran soldiers who have fought for many years know this: After being hungry for too long, the stomach and intestines are in a contracted state. Eating too quickly can cause acute gastric dilatation or gastric rupture, so you should not eat too quickly after being hungry for too long.
At the same time, when fishing, fish will definitely not bite if they are full, so you can't feed them a lot of bait.
Therefore, Lin Mo did not bring a large quantity of food.
After the Crusaders finished eating the food and drinking water that had been delivered, the soldiers were still hungry and thought, "One more serving!"
The envoy sent by Lin Mo had a very clear intention.
Obediently follow Lin Mo's plan and proceed step by step.
There will be bread, bottled water, and bacon.
All the water will be provided, day by day from now on!
Seeing this, Baldwin understood.
Before his troops even left the desert, they had already been completely controlled by Lin Mo!
It was late at night.
Lin Mo's messenger urged Baldwin, "Your Majesty, it is time for you to depart for the Great Xia camp!"
Baldwin, hidden beneath the mask, let out a heavy breath.
He knew that his life as a hostage had begun!
Under the moonlight, Baldwin followed Lin Mo's messenger and left the Crusader camp.
Afterwards, he was taken to the Great Xia military camp.
Night had fallen, turning all the flags black.
The Great Xia army's camp was located between a dry riverbed and hills, stretching for several miles.
Amidst the numerous troops and tents, Baldwin couldn't help but sigh, "My forces are no match for the Great Xia!"
He lost his way after passing by more than a dozen large tents and over a hundred campfires.
He smelled the aroma of garlic sausage, spicy and delicious, which made him feel hungry immediately.
Besides sausages, there are also roast pork, roast duck, and all kinds of vegetables.
The food for the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty was exceptionally good!
In the distance, thousands of spearmen practiced their blocking and thrusting skills in the fading light of dawn, their bare chests drenched in sweat.
No one glanced at him, no one spoke to him, no one noticed him.
He was surrounded by the army of the Great Xia Regent, a massive legion of over 100,000 men.
However, he was an anomaly, a crusader!
A feeling of loneliness and helplessness immediately enveloped Baldwin!
The good news is that Lin Mo seems to be quite generous towards the "hostages".
The Regent of Great Xia sent a groom and two personal servants to attend to his needs, and even told him he could bring two of his own guards. Moreover, this was done beside Baldwin's tent.
Several servants who cared for Baldwin sat around the ashes of the small campfire, and there was also a girl present; slender, with dark hair, she looked no more than eighteen years old.
The servant, fluent in the Crusader language, told Baldwin that this was a maid specially prepared for him by Lin Mo, who could provide any service!
This move completely baffled Baldwin.
I'm a leprosy patient, and you're giving me girls?
Baldwin, who was being held hostage, could only shake his head helplessly and walk into the tent.
As soon as he stepped inside, the servants came in and set up a long folding table made of pine wood for him, covered with a golden tablecloth.
Soon after, the cook brought out a grand dish: a roasted suckling pig, golden and crispy, with fruit in its mouth.
Baldwin's mouth watered at the aroma.
Then, the servant poured him a full glass of wine and then cut the pork, the crisp skin sizzling under the knife as hot oil dripped down.
Baldwin had not seen such a beautiful sight in a long time.
"Your Majesty, please have a meal!"
Baldwin was astonished. "The food of the Bactrians is ridiculously good!"
In such a desolate place, how could you find fresh fruit and even suckling pig?
God, please tell me what's going on!
After his initial shock and surprise, Baldwin, driven by hunger, began to eat voraciously.
"This taste..." He almost burst into tears, "It's so delicious!"
Meanwhile, Lin Mo, watching from outside the tent, couldn't help but sigh as he remarked, "Ah, Your Majesty Baldwin, eat more. In a little while, you won't be able to eat like this anymore!"
Lin Mo's system allows for complete customization of character creation.
They lured Baldwin over and observed him closely, noting his physique and appearance.
Create an exact replica of Baldwin.
Then use that time to have the Baldwin impersonator mimic his tone, mannerisms, and so on.
After that...
Swallowing the real Baldwin, Baldwin is Lin Mo's puppet!
"Watch closely. Remember his every move, every tiny action," Lin Mo instructed in a low voice. "His posture and frequency when eating, his walking speed, and whether he snores when he sleeps."
Everything must be memorized perfectly by me.
Lin Mo gave the order to the Bob Wen he had sculpted.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The replica Baldwin wearing the golden mask does not look quite the same as the real Baldwin.
After all, the face of a leprosy patient...
Tormented by illness to the point of being unrecognizable, it's too difficult to mold.
However, as he was the King of Jerusalem, few people had ever seen Baldwin in person.
Moreover, what crusader general would have the perseverance to remember the face of a leper?
What ordinary people see is a king dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a golden mask.
Lin Mo left the imposter Baldwin to continue observing before departing.
Although a great victory was achieved, the war was not over yet.
Saladin and the Chuz alliance still numbered nearly a million. Lin Mo still had a lot to do to defeat such a massive army.
After that, there was Constantine, who was studying Hannibal and traversing mountains and valleys...
After dealing with the enemies created by the previous god, there is still the Supreme God waiting for him!
"Other people's lives are predictable, but my life is full of hardships and thorns!" Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the moon hanging in the sky.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly entered Lin Mo's ears, "Your Highness, I have something to report!"
Lin Mo turned his head and saw that the person who came was none other than Zhao Zhilan, who was wearing a military uniform!
"Holy shit!" he couldn't help but curse. "You? What are you doing here?"
