Chapter 259 Cabbage King Entrusts His Son to Others

When Dongzheng City was first built, it was built for the purpose of a purely military fortress.

The area of ​​Dongzheng City itself is much smaller than other main cities, and it has built two inner walls within the city at all costs.

Each inner city wall represents a solid line of defense, which can be called an iron wall.

The defenders of Dongzheng City can completely open the second city wall and retreat all the soldiers behind the second city wall when the first outer city wall is broken.

This also means that to attack Dongzheng City, a total of three siege battles will be fought.

Two inner walls and one outer wall form three rings.

From the inside to the outside there are one ring, two rings and three rings.

The second ring road has the largest area, the third ring road is smaller, and the first ring road has only one point.

The first ring of Dongzheng City is key buildings such as the city main castle and material warehouses, the second ring is civilian residences and farmland, and the third ring is military camps.

The third ring faces the outer city wall. Whenever a war breaks out, the soldiers can mobilize for defense immediately.

The second ring ensures that even if Dongzheng City is besieged, the defenders in the city can hold on for a long time.

The first ring is the core of the entire city. As long as the first ring is defended, there is hope for a comeback.

A fortress-type main city like this was designed purely for war purposes. Its original purpose was to serve as a nail around radiation to prevent Over from detouring around the wild monster area to attack like humans.

Dongzheng City is located in the northern part of the eastern border of the empire, close to the sea, with high terrain and huge temperature differences.

When it’s hot during the day, the temperature can reach as high as 30 to 50 degrees, and when it’s cold at night, the temperature can reach as low as -10 to 0 degrees.

The severe temperature difference between day and night makes Dongzheng City extremely unsuitable for human survival, especially when there are no houses and enough warm clothing.

The soldiers of Dongzheng City chanted one sentence for a long time:

The sun bakes the iron during the day, and the frost freezes the body at night

In Erathia, Dongzheng City is a bitter cold place that cannot be developed at all.

But Sousa chose to settle here and established the Eastern Expedition City.

It was very cold at night in Dongzheng City, and the steps in the inner city were slippery.

This kind of step is designed for human soldiers wearing heavy boots. The soles of the heavy boots have anti-slip patterns, making walking on them feel like walking on flat ground.

But Qi Ge's soft cloth shoes were not suitable for walking on such steps.

He climbed step after step, careful not to fall.

Nasanil strode forward in front, stopping from time to time to wait for the seven pigeons, and introduced them by the way:

“Since we broke away from the front line and counterattacked outside the church, we rebels have been under tremendous pressure.

Lord Sousa started from behind the Eastern Front and helped the refugees all the way back.

Our supplies soon fell short.

Fortunately, there are many territories controlled by the church along the way.

We fought all the way, occupied material warehouses, opened granaries, and finally managed to hold on.

But after we returned to Dongzheng City, the situation not only did not improve, but took a sharp turn for the worse.

When Dongzheng City was designed, it was not considered to accommodate a large number of territorial residents.

The farmland area of ​​the Second Ring Road, even if fully cultivated, can only provide supplies for the soldiers and a small number of territorial residents. "

Nasanil sighed and said:

“A large number of the refugees we rescued along the way chose to follow us.

Lord Sosa couldn't bear to see them displaced and hungry, so he took them all with him.

An excess of people poured into Dongzheng City at once, causing a huge load on Dongzheng City. "

Qi Ge listened to Nasanil's introduction and weighed it in his mind before following Nasanil to the first inner city wall.

Nasanil patted Qi Ge on the shoulder and pointed to the Third Ring Military Camp area.

There are row after row of sky-blue square tents.

A large number of people lay in the gaps between the tents, covered with thatch, huddled together to keep each other warm.

Nasanil said with a serious face:

“The tent that was supposed to house 10 people was already occupied by 30 soldiers, and all the beds and cabinets were removed to make room.

The remaining tents, including the spare tents used for marching, were all sold to the refugees, but it was still not enough.

To be honest, the tents and construction tools you supported helped a lot.

Every extra tent means a dozen refugees don't have to suffer from the cold.

Unfortunately, there are too many refugees. Even though you have tried your best, it is still a drop in the bucket. "

Nasanil knocked hard on the city wall, pointed at the farmland area of ​​the second ring road and said:

“When Dongzheng City was built, the ground on the first, second, and third rings were all hard rocks.

Master Sosa specially invited the Legend of Lambeth from the Elemental City (specialty: body protection stone skin), and released the legendary spell Earth Shaping to transform the ground of the second ring into fertile soil for planting. Now, the second ring has become our last hope. .

I have to say that Lord Sousa is very far-sighted. "

Qi Ge's mind suddenly drifted away.

Lambeth, the Legend of the Elemental City, has a legendary specialty in earth magic. He can upgrade any earth magic to a god-level effect every month.

Including magic that can completely change the terrain of the territory, such as earth shaping, mountain uplift, and earth crust subsidence.

Simply the best civil engineer.

Miraculously, Sosa and Lambeth came from the same poor village.

One of them became the war goddess of Erathia, and the other became the legendary earth mage of the elemental forces.

The luck of that village was outrageous.

Nasanil sighed and continued:

“Originally, we were building some houses in the Second Ring Road, but now they have all been demolished.

Lord Sosa ordered that no land in the second ring should be occupied, and crops should be planted with all efforts to prepare for a protracted war.

The power of the people is strong.

The sowing that would have taken several weeks was completed in just three days with the help of the refugees.

The elderly, children, and women carried crops on their shoulders and backs and managed to catch up with the farming season for planting cabbages.

If we can hold on for a month, we can harvest the first batch of cabbages. If we live frugally, we can hold on until the next harvest. "

That Saniel shook his head and continued, "But now, it is difficult for us to even hold on for two weeks.

If we eat as much as we want, we can't hold on for two days.

The burden is too heavy.

Even our soldiers are implementing the rationing system, eating one meal every three days.

Not to mention civilians, who can only eat one meal every five days.

Lord Sosa has set out for Mrak Territory to rescue the hostages in Mrak Territory.

At the same time, we are trying to get some food back from the church in Mrak Territory to help us get through the difficult times. "

Nasanil said with a gloomy face: "But I'm afraid that the refugees in Mrak are worse off than us."

"Under the pressure of the church this time, Sir Mrak took away about 80% of the young and strong people in Mrak when he went on the expedition.

Without sufficient labor, coupled with the exploitation of the church, it is very likely that the refugees in Mrak are also on the verge of collapse and can only maintain a fragile balance.

Once these refugees are rescued by Lord Sosa, Dongzheng City will not be able to bear it at all."

Qi Ge pointed to the tent area with a deep look and said, "Besides food, there are other problems, right?

A large number of people gathered, sanitation, drinking water, epidemics, soldiers were not full, and did not have enough rest, resulting in a decline in morale.

Dongzheng City is already at its limit."

Nasanil was a little surprised that Qi Ge could consider these things. He nodded and agreed:

"Yes.

In fact, the epidemic has already broken out once.

Fortunately, we still have medical tents that can barely hold on.

But if it breaks out again, the number of medical tents will not be enough to control the epidemic. Not only will the people be in danger, but even the soldiers will lose their combat effectiveness due to illness.

During the last epidemic, there were not many people, so I asked them to be isolated and treated in the city lord's castle.

But if the number of people increases, Dongzheng City is so small that there is no place to hide.

If the patients are moved to the second ring, the planting of cabbage will be delayed.

It's a dilemma. "

When Qi Ge turned around, he noticed that there were already a few white hairs under the brown hair of Saniel.

He couldn't help but ask: "General Saniel, how long have you not rested?"

Saniel raised his head slightly, looked at the city, and said:

"The enemy is outside, and there are many hidden dangers inside.

How to rest?

I have almost no sleep since we started the resistance.

This is the case for me, and so is General Sosa.

Now, I just hope for a miracle. "

Qi Ge looked at the farmland in the second ring, and there were pits dug in the fertile soil.

There was a small cabbage in each pit.

Yes, the crops in the Heroes Soul World are completely different from reality.

Cabbage like this is formed as soon as it emerges from the soil, and will gradually grow with the absorption of Yasha energy.

It is neither scientific nor magical, but interesting.

These cabbages are the hope of countless refugees and soldiers in Dongzheng City.

Qi Ge supported the city wall with his hands and said slowly:

"General Saniel.

Have you ever thought that a miracle may be around you?"

Saniel was stunned for a moment, and suddenly figured out what Qi Ge meant. He asked nervously and expectantly:

"Do you have a way?"

Saniel's voice trembled a little, as if he was afraid of hearing a negative answer.

[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering the hidden task: The Crisis of Dongzheng City]

Qi Ge showed an ambiguous smile.

"I'll try. I can always solve some problems, which is better than being helpless. ”

Kayuri closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, praying to the angel in his heart.

"There is no Supreme God, no Supreme Lord, who judges sin and drives away desire.

It must be purified, it must be purified, the angels are in heaven, the gods are in heaven. "

The small pendant in his hand did not react at all, as if it were an ordinary stone.

Kayuri opened his eyes, a little puzzled.

What happened to the Judas priest?

Why haven't you responded to me yet?

Kayuri sat up, surrounded by large pieces of dry straw, in which many dirty refugees were lying in disorder.

Kayuri patted his body gently to knock off the straw on his body.

He has been lurking in Dongzheng City for a week.

Being with these faithless sinners all day long made him sick, as if his holy soul had been defiled. Dirt.

He had long wanted to return to the monastery, and wash himself with the warm spring water blessed by Judas, under the care of the nuns.

Unfortunately, he still had the mission of monitoring the movements of the rebels.

Kayouli was a little confused, and didn't know why Judas didn't respond to him.

This made him feel very anxious.

At dusk, the rebels captured a group of caravans and obtained a lot of food and clothes.

Even Kayouli was given a potato that was baked with the skin, and the skin was baked very crispy.

Just now, the rebels mobilized a large number of Crusaders and surrounded the inner city wall tightly.

Although the specific reason has not been figured out, Kayuri has a keen sense that the rebels may have some big moves.

Try again.

Kayuri grabbed a handful of straw and covered himself with it. Closed his eyes and prayed again.

——————

Qi Ge held Xiao Yinhe in his arms, and Ke Ruo Ke and Fei Rui stood beside him.

Xiao Yinhe looked at the Chinese cabbage on the ground curiously. Xiao Yinhe had never touched this kind of crop that is a specialty of Erathia before.

"Admiral brother, this plant looks like a small emerald ball, just like emeralds."

Qi Ge smiled and said, "In many cases, these Chinese cabbages are much more expensive than emeralds."

"Yinhe, are you sure you can ripen these Chinese cabbages?"

Xiao Yinhe rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, I feel it is not very difficult for me."

Qi Ge put Yinhe on the ground, Yinhe squatted down, and gently poked the small balls of Chinese cabbage on the ground with his fingers.

Ke Ruoke asked worriedly: "Lord, such a large piece of land, will it be too much of a burden for Xiao Yinhe?"

Qi Ge explained:

"Ordinary flower fairies also have the ability to promote plant growth.

Xiao Yinhe is a silver flower fairy, the king of flower fairies. Logically, her ability to promote plant growth should be stronger than ordinary flower fairies.

But I don't know exactly how strong it is.

It doesn't matter. We can observe first. If Xiao Yinhe shows signs of fatigue, stop immediately."

On the inner city wall, Na Saniel looked at the second ring with concern.

A Crusader beside him asked anxiously: "General Na Saniel, how can President Qi Ge let a little girl play in our farmland.

Those cabbages are our hope for the future. If she crushes them..."

"Shut up. Just watch." Na Saniel interrupted.

"Remember to tell all soldiers to keep their mouths shut about everything they saw tonight. No one is allowed to tell anyone.

There may be spies in our Dongzheng City."

"Understood."

Xiao Yinhe ran around in the farmland, and would stop from time to time to poke the cabbage balls on the ground.

She ran a long circle, and the bottom of her silver-white skirt was stained with mud.

Suddenly, Xiao Yinhe's eyes lit up.

"Admiral brother! I found it!"

Yinhe ran back and threw herself into Qi Ge's arms, saying:

"I found the king of these cabbages."

"The king of cabbages?"

"Yeah! Most of these plants are unconscious, but when a large number of cabbages gather together, a cabbage king with a weak consciousness will be born.

Xiao Yinhe has already made an agreement with it, and it agrees that Xiao Yinhe will help the cabbage grow!

But it said that after ripening, Xiao Yinhe will give its seeds to the admiral brother.

Let the admiral brother take its seeds to a distant place."

Qi Ge:?

The cabbage king entrusted his orphan?

Is there such a thing?
