Chapter 039 [Infuriating people not paying for their lives]
At the junction of Qingyang Territory and Lance Province, there is a plain called the Wailing Wilderness. According to legend, when the territory of the Tianhua Empire and the Auckland Empire had not yet expanded to this plain, there was an ancient and barbaric nation living here. They would bury all the enemies and sinners in the tribe who violated the rules of their tribe. The most outrageous thing is that they did not choose a clearing space to bury them alive, but buried them alive in the area where they lived.
It is said that after these people are buried alive, they will not die immediately, they will struggle and wail. During the day, everyone goes out to hunt, and even when they return home, there will be various movements. Besides, the sun also increases everyone's courage. There seems to be nothing wrong. However, at night, when everything is silent, the wailing of people buried underground and not completely silenced will be heard, and on the ground, the living people have to spend every night in such an environment.
Because of barbarism, other tribes and nations around him dare not provoke them, for fear that they would become a member of the wailing. However, because of barbarism, their civilization was very backward. When the powerful Tianhua and Auckland came, their fierce murderous aura and strong physique could not make up for the fragile weapons and simple armor. Under the attack of the Tianhua and the Auckland people, this nation disappeared in the long river of history. Only this legendary wilderness still remains here at night, unchanged forever.
Early in the morning that day, the troops led by Qingyang and the troops of Lance Province were concentrated on both sides of the wailing wilderness. The troops on both sides were clearly armored and could tell at a glance that they were elite troops. However, the slightly different one was that the soldiers on Tianhua were full of energy and high morale. On the other hand, Auckland was silent, and there was no excitement of the war on his face. Even the pace of advance seemed weak.
The two armies gradually moved closer in the face of the enemy. Neither side launched an attack, nor did their respective crossbowmen shoot arrows. They walked to a position less than 100 meters apart before stopping. Although both sides still did not take any action, the solemn aura still filled the entire wilderness. Under such strong murderous aura, it seemed that even the unjust souls buried in the wailing wilderness did not dare to make any sound at will.
Suddenly, the soldiers in the middle of the army on Tianhua suddenly separated to both sides. A road appeared in the Tianhua Formation. Several figures riding war horses stood at the end of the road. Behind these people were two prison carts. Zhao Zheng, Wen Fang, He Chuan and other Tianhua generals, and He Ping, all rode horses along the avenue, and the prison cart behind them also gradually approached the front line.
There was movement on Tianhua's side, and Auckland was not unresponsive. At this time, the central army also made way for the troops of Auckland. However, compared to the neatness of Tianhua, the troops of Auckland were like miscellaneous troops. After making a mess of moves away from a not-so-wide path, several people riding war horses also followed the path from behind to the two armies, and their momentum was much weaker than that of Tianhua's side.
Tianhua is Zhao Zheng's head, while Oakland is riding a horse in front of Trevor, who He Ping met in the treasure house. The commanders of both sides walked out of the two armies until they were less than fifty meters away. Zhao Zheng and Trevor looked at each other and sighed, thinking that back then, they still drank together. The girl's friends met in a blink of an eye.
"Trevor!"
"Zhao Zheng!"
How long has it been since the two of them called each other's names face to face? Three years or five years? After the war began, Zhao Zheng's father Zhao Long was killed, the two families cut off contact. Trevor presided over the government affairs in the rear, and Zhao Zheng led troops to fight in the army. Although both sides mentioned each other in conversations with others, they never met face to face again. At this time, when they met, they had an illusion that was like yesterday.
"Trevor! I think you know why I came this time." Zhao Zheng took the lead in awakening from his memories and said to Trevor in Oakranian: "Wolf and Breon are so sinful that the laws of heaven are hard tolerant. The crimes they committed in my Qingyang Colonel are unforgivable. I came here today to publicly trial these two people in front of everyone. When their crimes are recognized, I will publicly execute them here!"
"Hey! Can I still plead with you at this point?" Trevor spoke, and he was skilled in Tianhua. "No matter what, they are also my uncle and cousin. I can't ignore it. You know this and spread the news so much. This is clearly forcing me to come forward. I have heard some of their actions. I understand what their trial and execution mean to Qingyang Colonel, but I still have to say that the Lance family is willing to pay the ransom and ask you to let them go."
Zhao Zheng was unmoved and said, "You are finished? If nothing else, I will start a public trial. If you want to force rescue of the two of them, I will welcome you at any time. I have long wanted to see the current Lord Lance's ability to lead troops in war!"
"Hey, you..." Trevor was a little speechless. His military incompetence was well known to everyone. Not to mention that the morale between the two armies was so different at this moment, even if they were in the same state, without Wolf and his son, Trevor had no confidence to defeat Zhao Zheng in the battle. When he sighed, his eyes turned slightly and He Ping, who was wearing strange clothes, entered his sight: "This must be Mr. He Ping. If I guessed correctly, both of them were in your hands, right?"
He Ping nodded without hiding it. Seeing that He Ping admitted, Zhao Zheng had no objection, Trevor spoke, "I wonder if I am lucky to invite Mr. He Ping to visit the Lance Province? If Mr. He Ping can help me, I will never treat Mr. He Ping badly. With Mr. He Ping's ability, he will definitely make a career in Auckland."
At this time, he was still poaching? He Ping looked at the middle-aged man who was not outstanding and a little thin, and his evaluation of him in his heart increased a lot. This sentence is interesting. Even if he was not successful in poaching, he could create a certain rift between Zhao Zheng and He Ping. This is a considerable benefit to the Lance Province and the Lance family, but it is obvious that he underestimated He Ping and Zhao Zheng.
He Ping smiled and said, "Mr. Trevor, don't treat me as a child. I know what the aristocratic system in Oakland is like. Do you believe that I can make a career? In addition..." In the concept of being angry that people are not worth their lives, He Ping took out a gorgeous work of art based on gold and silver and gems as decorations. After showing it to Trevor, he said, "What are you not treating me badly?"
"The glory of eternal night!"
