Chapter 636: Go to the King's Land [Luoxi]
Luo Xi's departure from the East is relatively confidential.
Only five brothers and sisters learned about the news; most people in the East thought that Princess Luo Xi helped the nobles handle affairs in Fengming Castle.
On a dark and windy night, a carriage set out from Fengming Village and headed towards the direction of the king.
This time, Luo Xi felt much more at ease - this is in the Eastern Realm, and there will be no assassin lurking in the dark to attack him; and the carriage driver is also an old loyal minister who has served the Phoenix family for more than 20 years, and is much more reliable than the guards who will rebel if they get money.
Three days later, the central area of the eastern border was a humid road.
Looking out from the car window, the distance spreading straight to the horizon was completely green;
The main road here is surrounded by swamps, with trees relatively rare; this swamp also divides the north and south of the eastern border, and only by walking the main road opened by ancient laborers and magicians.
"The princess is so low-key!" The old coachman with a slightly gray hair sighed, "Even if a baron goes out, don't he have to bring two or three servants with him? Well, our poor cooking skills are really a burden to the princess!"
"What did the old man say? I have to thank you for tasting my skills and giving some suggestions!" Luo Xi replied with a smile, "Although they are all green vegetables... are you still used to eating?"
"Oh my God, this is not a question of whether you are used to eating?" The coachman said, whipping a whip to urge the horse to go quickly, "We have eaten the dishes made by Princess Luo Xi! After I go back, I must brag about it with my children and grandchildren. Oh my God, I can make the vegetables so delicious!"
"At this speed... I probably can't leave the wet road today." Luo Xi estimated the speed and distance of the car, "Old man, there is a high ground a few miles ahead, so let's rest there tonight!"
"Okay, just do what you said!" The coachman looked at the swamp next to him, "But, there seems to be no ingredients here? You can't go inside to catch frogs..."
"There are also a little wild vegetables in the swamp here, so you need to be careful when picking it." Luo Xi replied, "It will be easier for me to use magic; I'll make a fire later. Please give me a request~"
Roche had walked this road with reinforcements led by Ryin before, so he was naturally very familiar with the situation here;
In the evening, the two arrived at the high ground that they had parked before; after eating dried bread with vegetable soup, Luo Xi set up the hammock he carried with him between two big trees - the old man's bed was in the carriage. For him, he knew nothing about magic, it was more stable to sleep in the carriage.
"Princess Luo Xi, is the ditch not far away... you sent someone to dig it out?" The old coachman looked to the south, "This scale is worthy of being able to stop the army!"
"Those are all the credits of Ryin's reinforcements. I just gave orders...we have to thank them." Roxi was always modest.
After the trail was blown up by the magic left by Luo Xi, the wet road was blocked - it was not until Luo Xi forced her to retreat the enemy to repair it with magic; now it seems that as long as the crossbowman and catapult are arranged behind the ditch, it will be difficult for the other party to come!
How much loss has this ditch reduced to the East? Even those who don’t know much about military affairs can imagine that the fertile arable land and rich resources in the East are mostly concentrated in the north. If the enemy is sent over, the consequences will be unimaginable! Princess Luo Xi can still remain calm in such a desperate situation... It’s amazing!
Roche, who was about to sleep in the tree, set his eyes further away - outside the wet road, the forest became denser again;
According to my previous plan, there should be many soldiers escorting their food to the southern area now; some of them are already on the road, and there are still people coming from behind.
Enriched food reserves are the guarantee that the Eastern Frontier can support long-term combat; with food, morale still exists, and even militias can pick up stones and fight against the enemy - of course, Luo Xi will not really let them fight to the death.
Luo Xi raised her gaze a little more, and she was thinking about the things related to the city;
If Wang Ling really invaded the eastern border, the village would inevitably be robbed; when Luo Xi was in Fengming Fort, he was planning how to allow more people to live in the town - the food would be provided by the north;
At present, the tactic that has been finalized is that when the war officially begins and the enemy invades, all the villages on the south side will return to the city as before and defend it;
The enemy cannot take the city wall for a while, and their siege equipment is impossible to be safely put into use - Luo Xi will squat near the Scepter Town. Once the enemy shows signs of siege equipment, he will destroy it while they are resting!
As for the specific method? Of course, it is to use magic.
Luo Xi thought so and touched a small bottle he carried around his waist - this was the technique he had learned before, "reverse the weak and strong"; if necessary, take one, and the physical fitness that exploded in a short period of time is enough to cope with any occasion, and there are no side effects.
The rule that "magic cannot be applied to war" has been thoroughly understood: it is nothing more than the means used by the great nobles to balance each other; magic is obviously stronger, but the cultivation of magicians is also more laborious. If the nobles use magic to fight... then both sides will devote huge amounts of money and energy to it, so that both sides are so tired;
That's why so many high-sounding reasons are put on the surface.
As for whether it can be used really? The previous defeat in the East Realm has already explained everything. If someone wants to use it, just find a reason;
If Luo Xi wants to use it, it is naturally fine. As long as a giant fireball is not rolled out in public in front of the two armies, you can always find a reason to come back - even without enough witnesses, even the identification cannot be established;
At Roche's level, it's not easy to disguise the magic and move your hands and feet.
Huh, it's almost time to rest?
Luo Xi breathed a long sigh and lay down, looking at the blue and black night sky through the gap between the leaves; the stars were flashing in it, as if they were blinking with Luo Xi.
In a few days, when we are about to leave the East Realm, we have to ask the coachman to find a place to settle down first - Luo Xi thought;
Among the magic you have learned, there are also related to disguise and voice change. If you only need to pay attention to it, you will have no problem in diving into the Shenrong City.
Even if you cannot successfully assassinate the Duke, you hope to gain something in the City of Shenxiang; you hope to allow more people to live happily...
Sleepiness began to surge, and thoughts began to blur; surrounded by the warm wind, Roche closed his eyes and fell asleep—
