Chapter 1037 The Isolated Royal Capital
“Tears of God? I don’t have that kind of thing with me.” Yang Yan in the hotel room said to Bing Zhixie: “Why do you want Tears of God?”
Bing Zhixie told Yang Yan about Emperor Kui of the Prisoner’s Gate.
Yang Yan said: "Since he has reached an alliance with the king, and you have helped him obtain the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone, let the people of the Prisoner's Gate worry about the rest."
"Well, I just want to ask you by the way." Bing Zhixie said again: "Yang Yan, I know that Yanyang City is very good at defending the city. What do you think of the defense of Wangdu City? ?”
Yang Yan thought for a while and said: "I may be able to help them with some ideas regarding defensive tactics, but war is related to the environment."
"How to say?" Bing Zhixie looked at him.
Yang Yandao: "First of all, from a geographical point of view, Hindmore is a completely isolated city. Although there are many checkpoints and towers on the borders of the royal capital's jurisdiction, this is for other provinces. , and now these checkpoints are in the hands of the enemy, and there are no reinforcements from the royal capital outside the checkpoints, so these The checkpoint has become a prison instead."
Bing Zhixie said: "But I understand that Yanyang City is also surrounded on all sides and isolated."
Yang Yan shook his head: "Yan. Yangcheng is different from here. Yanyang City seems to be surrounded by five countries, but in fact, these five countries each have their own thoughts. , they have been fighting each other openly and internally. Although Yanyang City is trapped in the middle of the five countries, it can travel among them and provoke them to fight with each other. This is why Yanyang City has remained standing for so many years. The reason is. Otherwise, if the forces of the five countries were to attack the city together, how could Yanyang City survive until now? In terms of defensive position, Yanyang City is not an isolated city. It is made up of four fortresses that rely on each other and form angles with each other. There are rapid reinforcements of troops between the cities, so no matter which country attacks us, it will be safe. We may face the entire force of Yanyang City, so it will not be easy to capture Yanyang City.”
"But last year, there was an incident where the five countries attacked Yanyang City." Bing Zhixie said.
Yang Yan nodded: "Yes, but the situation is still different from here. Although these five countries attacked the city together, they made a huge mistake, that is, they recruited too many mercenaries. This is still due to the struggle between them. They do not want to suffer greater losses after the war, which will affect the division of interests in Yangyan City. They all want to preserve their strength and guard against each other, so they hire a large number of people. Mercenaries join the war. But the mercenaries will not really work for them. Secondly, they will not have unified organization and combat capabilities, and they will not fully obey the deployment of the five countries and really attack Yanyang."
< br>Bingzhixie said: "So you captured a large number of mercenaries and forced them to retreat."
"Yes." Yang Yan said: "Yanyang City was indeed very dangerous in that battle. However, this was not the final solution to the crisis. The Intercity Alliance was an alliance of small city-states on the periphery of the five countries. They had always hoped that Yanyang City could join. The Inter-City Alliance improves the overall strength of the alliance, and of course I also take a fancy to the rare resources that Yanyang City has. After this battle, I compromised with the Inter-City Alliance and agreed to join it. We, then what the five countries are facing is not an isolated city in Yanyang, but the entire intercity alliance. This will make them think about the consequences of attacking Yanyang City. But looking at Sindmore, there is no such political environment. As a condition, Xindmore is now completely an isolated city."
"It seems that to solve the current predicament, we still have to rely on foreign aid," Bingzhixie thought.
Yang Yan knew what he was thinking, so he didn't disturb him. He went to the refrigerator and took two bottles of water and put them on the table.
After a while, Yang Yan said: "Don't think about it if you can't think of it. You are not familiar with this country and don't understand the political environment here. This kind of thing cannot be figured out by just thinking about it."
Bing Zhixie nodded: "I have one more thing to ask you."
"You have quite a lot to do, tell me."
Bing Zhixie asked: "In your Eastern Continent, Have you ever heard of Crescent Bay? ”
Yang Yan said: "Is it related to Long Ling?"
"Yes."
Yang Yan said: "There is indeed a Crescent Bay in the Eastern Continent, and there are more than one, but these should It’s not the Crescent Bay you’re looking for.”
“Why?”
Yang Yan. Said: "Many years ago, there were people in the Eastern Continent who had been asking about Crescent Bay. Not only in the past, but there are still people there now. I once sent people to find out what important purpose they must have to find the people in Crescent Bay. Things or treasures, I heard you mention them now, so it must be Long Ling.”
Bing Zhixie murmured: "People who inquired about Crescent Bay, it seems that nine out of ten people are from Luo Shen Kingdom."
"They are indeed people from Luo Shen Kingdom!"
"What?" Bing Zhixie looked at him.
Yang Yan said: "My grandfather was once a minister of the Luo God Kingdom. The reason why he established Yanyang City in the Eastern Continent was because he was persecuted by some people in the Luo God Kingdom."
< br>“That’s it.”
Yang Yan said: "Since the Crescent Bay in the Eastern Continent is related to Long Ling, then let me handle this matter."
Bing Zhixie said: "Okay, if you have any clues, remember to inform me "Go to sleep, I'm leaving." After leaving the White Horse Hotel, Bing Zhixie was about to go to Hohenheim to inquire about the situation, but when he was walking on the street, he happened to see Tiantanglou's announcement about this semi-annual auction. Billboard: "By the way, I heard about heaven before The auction of the building will be held at the end of this month. I don’t know if there will be an auction of Tears of God. Let’s go and take a look.”
When we arrived at the Heaven Building, there were already huge towers surrounding it. Full preparations have been made for this auction. The high-quality treasures sold at previous auctions are hung in the form of advertising boards on the surrounding shops and buildings. The huge horizontal board in front of the Tiantang Building still has the inscription " The countdown to the start of the auction.
Tiantian Building is a lively place, and many outsiders usually visit here. Because of the auction, more outside businessmen, mercenaries, etc. are attracted. Although some people are still worried about the cloud of war hanging over the royal capital, more people are still concerned about whether there is anything they like in this auction.
Bing Zhixie found the service staff of the Paradise Building and asked him: "Where is the manager of your Paradise Festival? I have something to see him."
The service staff looked at the child in front of him and asked: "What's the matter with you?"
Bingzhixie said: "I want to ask about this Tiantang Building auction."
"Oh, that's right, please come with me." The service staff saw that Bingzhixie had Paradise in his hands. name, so he didn’t refuse and took him to an office.
After a while, the person in charge of the auction came in: "You...you want to ask if the auction will go on as usual? Let me tell you, the Paradise Building will still go on as scheduled. It will be held as usual, so you can rest assured.”
Bing Zhixie said: "No, it's not. I want to ask you for a list of the items in this auction. Is it possible?"
The supervisor said: "That's it. Come here and see me. You are not the only one who wants a list of items in the auction, but the auction list is confidential to us. Except for the treasures used to promote this auction, we cannot disclose to anyone in advance what will be in the auction. , so I can only say sorry to you "
Bingzhixie said: "But I heard that many people already know about some of the things that will be displayed at this auction."
The supervisor smiled: "That's just theirs. Rumors and speculations are not true."
Bing Zhixie said: "Well, actually, I don't want to know what will be auctioned, I just want to ask if there is any god in the items in this auction. Tears.”
"This..."
Bing Zhixie said: "Just think of it as my guess, you just need to tell me whether there is or not. And the tears of God should not be used for the auction of Tiantang Building. It’s the first auction.”
The supervisor thought for a while and said: “ Okay, I'll look at the list for you. Just wait here for a while."
After waiting for a while, the supervisor came back and apologized: "Sorry, there is no such item in the list."
"Thank you for bothering you." Bing Zhixie stood up and left.
...
In the secret passage of the palace, Lieying made marks along the way while looking for a way out of the maze-like sewer. After walking for a while, he found that the place in front of him looked familiar: "This is not the place where the king and I came down. I actually got it back." He walked to the stairs and looked up: "Okay, I'm here. So I can get to know the situation outside and find a way to get in touch with the leader."
He climbed up the stairs and came to the ivory bed. Because the ivory bed itself was solid and very thick, it was transparent. You can't hear any sounds from outside the bed. Of course, people outside can't hear that there is a passage underneath even if they knock on the bed board.
Lieying stuck under the bed, calculating in his mind whether it was day or night. In this dark underground passage, it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night, but fortunately they had not been in for too long. , he can also calculate what time it is based on his impression.
"According to the time, it should be daytime now. There are many people in the palace during the day, and the king is missing in this room. People outside will definitely search here repeatedly. I'd better wait until no one is there at night Go up again, go back first." Lieying walked down the stairs and returned along the marked path.
Returning to the iron gate where King Radat was imprisoned, he saw blood on the ground. The lion's mane beast was also injured on the ground, but Radat was still safely locked inside.
Lieying smiled: "Your Majesty, it seems that you can't bear it anymore and want to escape from here. It's a pity that you underestimate this insect of mine."
Lada Te sat alone behind the iron gate with a livid face, with several blood marks on his wrists and his clothes were torn. And the shell-sized insect of the magic song was crawling slowly on the iron fence, sometimes flying around inside and outside the iron fence.
