The bonfire shone on Feng Yun Shang's face, and the chiseled face was even clear from light and dark at this moment. Taking a long sword, he dug out a piece of roasted potato from the bonfire. Feng Yun Shang removed the burnt skin and repeatedly shouted "burn it".

After blowing a few breaths of air-conditioning from the roasted potatoes, Feng Yun Shang stuffed the potatoes into his mouth with a satisfied look on his face. A few pieces of crumbs fell to the ground and were picked up by Phoenix.

"Sir, if we can't find water tomorrow, there will be a problem." Hu Defu was sitting next to Feng Yun Shang, holding a baked potato in his hand, but he had no intention of eating it, and his face was full of sorrow. Feng Yun Shang

Shang smiled and said: "Go find some scimitars, hang them up, and put a kettle underneath them. There will be water when you wake up tomorrow morning."

"Sir, this method is easy to use, but the water you get is still too little, not enough." Hu Defu is also a veteran in the battlefield. He has been dealing with monsters in the desert, so he still knows this method. But it is not enough.

As he said, the water obtained by this method is still too little. Ten thousand cavalry and horses all drink water, which is not enough at all.

Fengyun Shang was silent and ate the last bit of potatoes. He was also a little anxious, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue walking.

After originally beating away Lang Lihua, Fengyun Shang thought he could take a good rest for a while, but he didn't expect that Lang Lihua had stopped, but he didn't expect that Liyu City next door was surrounded by monsters. Liyu City was originally the same as Wasteland City.

garrisoned at the beacon.

There was a team of 1,000 people who claimed to be the reinforcements of Wasteland City. The general guarding Liyu City was negligent and put them into the beacon without checking the golden order. Unexpectedly, this team of 1,000 people turned out to be monsters in disguise.

As a result, they worked together inside and outside to defeat the beacon that night. The general died in the battle, but with a glimmer of hope, most of the defenders in the beacon fled back to Liyu City and stood firm to wait for reinforcements.

Liyu City is to the west of Wasteland City. If Liyu City is lost, Wasteland City will have another side to defend. Secondly, the general also sent an order for Fengyun Shang to go to the rescue, so Fengyun Shang brought ten thousand cavalry.

The soldiers rushed to support.

Liyu City is different from Wasteland City. Liyu City is completely in the desert and is built in an oasis. This desert is much larger than the desert where the human-monsters faced off before. Although Fengyun Shang and the others had a detailed map, they still got lost.

The reason was that we encountered a sandstorm on the day we entered the desert, in which more than a hundred people were injured, lost many military horses, and also lost reference objects. Many of the military horses were recovered in twos and threes, but the road was never found. Fengyun

Shang and the others were almost finished drinking the water they brought with them.

"It's better than nothing." Feng Yunshang put his palm on the ground and let Phoenix jump on his palm. The palm sank a little. Feng Yunshang smiled and said: "You are such a lazy guy, you have gained a lot of weight." Phoenix

Angrily, Feng Yun Shang pecked the palm of his hand. How could he say that the girl was fat?

Fengyun Shang smiled, and Phoenix didn't exert too much force, just pretending. They had lost their way in the desert these days, and Phoenix had always played the role of pathfinder, but they were unlucky and could not find any supplies.

oasis.

"Sir, if we still can't find a way out, I'm afraid I'm going to miss the deadline." Hu Defu worriedly said, "I'm afraid it's hard to explain to the general."

Feng Yun Shang teased the phoenix in his palm and said with a smile: "What can I do if it's hard to explain? In this situation, the more anxious you are, the more likely it is that problems will occur. Don't be anxious, you have to have a normal mentality." Hu Defu stopped talking. After all, it involves life and death. He

I still can't treat them calmly. Even though many of these ten thousand soldiers are monks, they are actually of no use at all. They will die of thirst if they can't find a water source.

"Go and have a rest early. We have to travel early tomorrow. We need to walk more while the weather is cool in the morning." Fengyun Shang drove Hu Defu to rest and sat in front of the campfire all night. The most fearful thing about marching in the desert is that he can't find it.

There are always ways to solve other problems, but if you can't find the right direction, everything is in vain.

............

When Liyu City was built, it was slightly larger than Wasteland City, mainly to encircle the entire oasis within the city. The place where Liyu City was built was an oasis group, with large and small oases scattered around Liyu City. If

If you stand on the top of the city and look out, it will be a beautiful sight.

It's a pity that this beautiful scenery has been completely destroyed now. On the ruins of the wall, although everyone is injured, the soldiers of Liyu City are still holding on. It's not that everyone doesn't want to escape, but that they can't escape.

The monsters outside don't care about preferential treatment of prisoners. If you leave the city, you will die.

"The reinforcements haven't arrived yet." The deputy general put his hands on the table, looked up at the officers in front of him, and said in a low voice: "I guess they got lost on the road. I don't know when they will come. So everyone, please

Be prepared to fight alone.”

Speaking of which, the soldiers who escaped were not treated well. What greeted them when they escaped back to Liyu City was not flowers and comfort, but white eyes and curses. Many soldiers couldn't help but want to teach those with bad mouths a lesson, but

They were all stopped by the deputy general.

"We are responsible for the defeat. It is understandable for the common people to curse a few times. Just bear with it." The lieutenant general said this to his soldiers at the time and did the same. His face was already dirty and he didn't know how many times he had been spat on.

Foaming from the mouth, the stench can be smelled from a distance.

There is still clean water in the city, but the deputy general has never washed it. He is not keeping it for self-reflection, and he is not hypocritical to that extent. He is just reluctant to give up. Although the clean water in the city has not been used up, the supply has been cut off by the monsters outside.

The stagnant water will eventually run out. Not only the lieutenants, but also the soldiers in the army have not washed their faces for several days. They even have to drink the mouthwash every day.

"General, some people in the city have run out of food. They came to our camp today to ask for food, but I drove them back." The one who spoke was a song leader. After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and waited to be scolded. The deputy general arrived.

The curse words on his lips made him shrink back involuntarily when he saw his appearance, and he sighed helplessly, "I was negligent. We will start putting out food tomorrow. We can't starve the people in the city."

Qu Chang hesitated to speak. Unlike the deputy general and most officers, he was a soldier from the capital, and the others were all original garrison troops on the northern border.

"General, we are just some untouchables. If we starve to death, we will starve to death. It is not worth starving ourselves for them." Before Qu Chang finished speaking, he was slapped by the deputy general. The armor worn by the deputy general was shaking violently.

Shaking, obviously extremely angry.

"You are the untouchable." The deputy general gritted his teeth and came out with these words. Who among them, the northern frontier army, has not been saved by the people on the border? After all, it is the northern frontier army that is protecting the people on the northern border.

, or the people on the northern border are protecting the northern border, no one can tell.

Although the people in Liyu City are different from the people on the border, they are still common people. The deputy general does not want to return to the northern border in the future. When the people there ask him what he has done, his answer is 'starved the people to death'.

"What you said is correct in other places, but it is wrong on the northern border." The deputy general finally sighed helplessly and said: "In the evening, pick some with good skills and go out with me to pick up some monster corpses.

When you come back, you won’t be hungry.”

Qu Chang remained silent. He had nothing to fear from eating monster corpses. He had been a soldier for so many years and fought in battles for so many years. He had never eaten anything. In this case, it would be good to have a stutter, not to mention it was meat.

It's just that he hasn't changed his mind yet. For a group of untouchables, they have to give up their own food and then take the risk of picking up corpses. He is not willing.

The deputy general did not force him and chose other songs. It is the consensus of all countries that the lives of the people are cheap, and no one in power is willing to harm the army for the sake of the people. But the northern border is special. The people here live differently from people in other places.

Just the same, not so insensitive. They know how to be grateful and give. Even the deputy general felt that they had a spiritual energy in them that the people in other places did not have.

Picking up the corpses of monsters at night was not very smooth. I carried a few monsters back under the moonlight, and they were discovered by the monsters. They roared and rushed towards them. Qu Chang did not leave the city because he felt that it was not worth the risk for those untouchables. But at the same time

When Pao was in danger, he disobeyed military orders and ran out with his soldiers.

The two Qu combined had only a few dozen people, less than the one before the war. The Qu leader led people to block the monsters, and waited for all the robes to return before returning to the city. Because he violated the military law, he was beaten with a military stick.

The man with the stick didn't hit him hard, he was just pretending, and the deputy general didn't pay attention. He also gave Chang Qu a few pieces of freshly cooked meat, saying that he wanted to replenish his health.

Afterward, someone asked Commander Qu why he rushed out. Commander Qu smiled and said, "It's not worth taking the risk for those untouchables, but it's worth taking the risk for your comrades." The deputy general didn't say anything for a long time. He wanted to tell Qu

The lives of the common people were not cheap, but those moths waiting to die in the city left him speechless.

"I really hope that one day all the people in the world can be like the people on the northern border. How wonderful that would be." When the deputy general died in battle, he murmured and fell off the city wall. He fell to the ground.

They were eaten by monsters again. Qu Chang showed no expression. They ate monsters, and monsters ate them. There was nothing worth complaining about. He just couldn't figure out why the deputy general couldn't forget the people of the Northland when he was about to die.
