Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1866 Weird Rules

Lan Nuo suddenly kidnapped the leader of Iron City State, causing chaos among the people of Iron City State. They did not expect that someone could be so powerful. For a moment, they did not know whether to continue the attack, and at this time, their commander also began to shout at the top of his voice: "Retreat! Retreat!"

Lan Nuo couldn't understand what these people were saying for the time being, but he had already started the rehearsal and began to constantly try to figure out their language. With his experience, it shouldn't take too long for him to figure out the language of this world.

The kidnapped commander still had some commanding abilities, at least he had some combat experience and knew when not to force his soldiers to fight.

  It is impossible to let the two armies fight when I am kidnapped. At this time, I cannot let the soldiers retreat freely. Because once they are allowed to retreat freely, it will be the same as a rout.

Once defeated, it would be equivalent to a complete defeat in the era of cold weapons. Without formation, the enemy could slaughter troops that are 10 times the number of their own.

After he was kidnapped, he knew that he could no longer command, so he ordered the army to retreat in an orderly manner. They slowly retreated towards the castle. What surprised him was that the soldier who kidnapped him also followed him and retreated towards the castle.

He originally thought that the one who kidnapped him was an enemy soldier. Under normal circumstances, he would be kidnapped into the enemy camp. Considering his noble status, as long as the family paid a certain ransom, he should be able to be redeemed.

But now it seems that assassination is not that simple. The assassin may be a member of his own family, which is more troublesome.

He tried to negotiate with the assassin, but the assassin was as cold as ice and would not respond no matter what he said.

The most terrifying thing is that this assassin would occasionally imitate his speech. And his pronunciation was quite unstandard, as if he had some mental illness? As a noble, he was not afraid of powerful enemies. Because in the process of fighting, the lives of nobles were often guaranteed. The wars between lords in the feudal era were often like some kind of game between lords.

The nobility will never die. It's just that the benefits are redistributed through the fighting of armies.

But all these rules are based on the premise that someone abides by the rules. If you encounter a psychopath, then all the rules are meaningless. And this guy in front of him, who can't even speak fluently, although he has strong fighting ability, he has some problems in intelligence.

This was the situation that a noble feared the most. However, as the two gradually retreated into the city, he was slightly relieved to find that this fellow who had been unable to speak clearly just now began to speak more and more fluently, and started to make other expressions besides imitating his way of speaking.

Lan Nuo has gradually figured out the language system of this world. He learned from asking that the nobleman he had kidnapped was from the Anvil Family of the Iron Castle and had a noble title roughly equivalent to a baron. If his name was transliterated, it should be Freeman.

"You can ask for whatever you want. Although I cannot grant you a title, I can give you wealth, women, and status in this city. A warrior like you deserves these."

When Freeman saw this powerful and terrifying assassin start talking to him, he thought he had the situation under control, so he began to talk and bargain, trying to change the situation with his eloquent tongue.

  However, he was obviously overthinking. Lan Nuo could even give up the chance to become the emperor of the interstellar empire. How could the temptation promised by a baron from a remote and poor country like him possibly attract him?

Lan Nuo ignored the other party's temptation and asked in return: "How many people are there in your castle? Including soldiers and civilians? How much food do you have? There is no farmland around your castle. Where does the food come from? And how do you make money?"

Lan Nuo was quite curious about these questions. Although the area of ​​the ecological drum was much smaller than the surface of the planet, it did not mean that a large population could not survive here. The surface area of ​​this area was already 10,000 square kilometers, which was the area of ​​a smaller county-level administrative unit. In theory, it was enough to support the existence of a kingdom of hundreds of thousands of people.

"Surrender, it's useless to find out the information. You can't escape even if you know the information." Freeman calmed down immediately after returning to the castle, as if he had found his home ground, which was indeed the case to some extent.

In the castle, a large number of guards rushed out and surrounded the two men. The long spears surrounded the two men like a forest, leaving no room for escape at all.

"This is my territory now. You can't escape even if you have wings. Isn't it good to live? Why do you want to die? No matter who your employer is, I can hire you for double his price."

Freeman felt that Lan Nuo must have kidnapped him for money or something else, at least not out of hatred, although being a noble would inevitably offend some people, but he had no impression of a No. 1 person like Lan Nuo.

"It seems that you haven't realized your situation. After returning to your castle, you think you have regained the initiative, right? These are the guards you carefully trained? But looking at their condition, each of them does not look very good. Each of them is malnourished to a certain extent. The guards you trained are all at this level. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for ordinary people to survive.

Forget it, it’s better to let you face the reality as soon as possible, so as to save you from having those unrealistic fantasies. "

Lan Nuo held him hostage and suddenly attacked at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he snatched a spear from the guard next to him. Both of them held the spear at the same time, but their strength was not at the same level. Although these guards were not seriously malnourished, they were definitely not strong. Lan Nuo's powerful explosive power easily snatched the weapons from their hands, and then he was seen turning the spear in his hand, holding it in his hand as if he was holding a toothpick. He waved it casually and easily, as if it did not consume any strength at all.

The Freeman in his other hand became the most solid shield. As long as he held it in his hand, he would be immune to all attacks. With the coordination of the spear and the shield, he displayed incomparable spearmanship.

They just turned around in a circle. The weapons in the hands of the guards who besieged them were knocked to the ground one by one. They lay on the ground in a panic to pick up their weapons. But at the moment when they lost their weapons, each of them was left with a shallow wound on their neck or chest by the enemy's spear. Although the wound was just a break in the skin and bleeding slightly, it meant that the enemy could pierce their neck or chest with a little force.

This really made them feel terrified. Freeman was terrified by this scene. This kind of super master usually only appeared in legends, but he didn't expect to meet him in reality. It was like a dream. "Do you understand the situation now? Tell me honestly and answer whatever I ask. How much food do you have in your city, and where does the food reserve come from?"

"I'll tell you what I'm saying. Hero, don't be impulsive." Freeman felt the dagger pressing against his throat gain a little more force, and it seemed to have cut his skin. He finally realized the situation, and no one could save him.

"There is enough food in the city to last for half a year, because there is a harvest altar in the city. Although the food produced by a harvest altar is not enough for everyone in the city, with the support of the stored food, it should be enough for half a year."

Lan Nuo nodded. When he was observing outside the city just now, he had already discovered that there were no fields around the castle. This was a very strange phenomenon. Usually, there would be a large number of farms around the castle, where farmers lived and cultivated the land for the castle owner, paid taxes, and assumed certain military obligations to the nobles in the castle. This was a common phenomenon in the feudal era.

Of course, this refers to the feudal era in the West. Strictly speaking, if we follow the Western classification method, the feudal era in the East ended after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

When Lan Nuo was observing outside the castle just now, he was puzzled to find that although there were village-like buildings outside the castle, there was no farmland around. What he found in the village were small workshops similar to handicraft factories.

Maybe this city is a handicraft city. But even so, in the ecological drum where every inch of land is valuable, the surrounding areas should theoretically be cultivated, but this is obviously unreasonable.

According to Lan Nuo's estimation, there is a high possibility that there are food sources other than farming in this ecological drum. The efficiency of plants in absorbing sunlight is actually very low. And the lighting intensity in this world is actually not very high.

At least the intensity of light is much lower than that of normal sunlight. It is very difficult for plants to grow under this kind of light environment. It also wastes energy.

The Harvest Altar sounded very much like the specific equipment that Lan Nuo had guessed existed, so he immediately asked Freeman to take him to see the Harvest Altar in the city.

The so-called harvest altar is actually just a huge machine with a large feeding port and a discharging port, but now the machine has been decorated with various decorations like an altar.

At this moment, someone was pouring baskets of gray stuff into the feeding port, and the machine was running slowly amidst the roar. From the feeding port, pieces of something that looked quite hard like soap were produced. And this thing seemed to be the main food of this world.

“This is our harvest altar. This harvest altar is very well preserved. As long as we put in enough water and corresponding ashes, the altar will give us enough food.

However, if we don’t leave the city for a long time to harvest grass and burn manure into ashes, the ashes in the city will be insufficient. If there is not enough ashes and water, the harvest altar will not provide us with enough food. "

Lan Nuo nodded and said, "Then take me to see your water source. I want to see how you use water."

Soon, Lan Nuo came to a huge water pipe and saw patches on it. These things were definitely not something that people of this era could produce by hand. These simple patches on the water pipe made the places that should have been leaking become tightly glued.

At the end of this huge water pipe, water was constantly being poured into a pool, and beside the pool were buckets. Residents came to fetch water one by one. The water in the pool was quite clean, and it was obviously treated before being released from the pipe.

Lan Nuo looked up at the distribution of clouds in the sky, as if thinking about something. The circle of water vapor would gather above his head, but the fog in the air was quite thin. By observing the sky on the other side of his head, he could see that the surface runoff in the ecological drum was actually very small, which meant that the drum was actually quite dry, and the water source was purified by the facilities left by the builders who had built it.

Lan Nuo nodded and asked again: "Has any special disaster happened here recently?" He just observed the water pipes around him and saw the patches of different sizes on them. He realized that the system in the ecological drum was probably quite outdated. These feudal lords did not have the ability to repair these aging systems.

In this case, if the system fails, it will be a devastating blow to the residents of Eco-Drum.

"The frequency of natural disasters has indeed increased recently. A dozen days and nights ago, there was a floating disaster. That time, the earth lost its control over us. Once we were suspended in the air, we would drift farther and farther away without being able to return to the ground. That floating disaster was also a relatively serious one, which lasted for half a day. Many people couldn't help but move, and ended up floating hundreds of meters in the air and falling, smashing into pieces on the spot."

"Hmm? It looks like it's not simulated gravity. Instead, it has a device similar to a gravity generator. It looks like we have to raise our expectations for the technological level of this spaceship again." When Lan Nuo saw the eco-drum, he thought that the residents in the eco-drum relied on the rotation of the eco-drum to provide simulated gravity.

But now it seems that the situation is different from what they imagined. If it is to simulate gravity, this kind of weightlessness will not appear suddenly. The rotation of the drum cannot be stopped by adding people. Even if it stops suddenly, it will not be as they describe. Instead, someone will be hit on the ground by the super strong gravity and crushed into meat paste.
