The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 154 Competition in the wild land
"They actually insulted King Nefeli and called her mediocre!" Hyde stood on the wall full of righteous indignation, gearing up.

"They haven't approached yet, how did you hear that?" Nameless looked sideways.

"The flag says it all," Hyde said. "They humiliated King Nefeli with the upside-down flag, and painted the top right corner brown to show that King Nefeli's military prowess was nothing but a show."

"Maybe it was just an accident." Wuming said, "It's like a dog wagging its tail in front of a cat."

"Why aren't you angry at all?" Hyde was surprised, "The enemy is insulting us."

"They are enemies, and it's not normal to insult us." Wuming said, "They are already enemies, and they still care about what they do. Enemies are always to be eliminated, and they are not allowed to say a few words?"

"Then how do you defeat them?" Hyde asked, "The troops on the other side are at least five times stronger than ours."

"Fight, you can win if you fight." Wuming said.

While speaking, the lord's coalition army has already approached the city.A strong shield was raised in front of the formation, and the array of dragon emblems painted on the shield blocked the front.

A man wearing a giant helmet and scale armor stood in front, shouting loudly:
"Subordinates of the false king, surrender quickly. You not only pretended to be the honorable knights, but also stole the tombs of the heroes of the Golden Dynasty and got their hands on the treasures in them. Such a despicable woman is also worthy of sitting in Stonewell and leading Ningxia. Mgfo?"

Hyde couldn't bear it anymore, and retorted on the tower:

"King Neferi looks at the righteous way and saves the people from suffering. Isn't he more orthodox than you people?"

"Yo, Hyde, when did you come back?" The man in the giant helmet laughed, "You're just a despicable person, talking about neutrality, but secretly accumulating strength, stealing our achievements while we are fighting each other, and taking advantage of us Stonewell is a perfect match for that woman of yours."

"Despicable?" Hyde said, "Don't dare to challenge King Neferi, but only dare to dominate my remote territory, isn't it despicable?"

The lord wearing the giant helmet didn't take it seriously:

"Stonwell, we will go there sooner or later. You claim to be orthodox, but I would like to ask you, which orthodoxy only dares to shout on the city wall, but dare not come out to fight? Since King Geoffrey, there has only been one standard of orthodoxy—you The power you have!"

"You don't need to tell him, a king who only dares to scare people with corruption, do you really expect them to go out of the city to fight?" The lord of the skull crown also rode out on horseback, "We will attack, and the ladders are ready."

Although Hyde was very angry, he did not lose his mind. He ordered the archers to get ready on the city wall for a defensive battle.

Stones and kerosene were prepared on the city wall, ready to deal with the ladder.

As the horns sounded for both sides to start the war, the siege began.

Under the cover of the shield, the long ladder climbed up the city wall and was pushed away again and again. The flint blocks from the trebuchet smashed into the city and were quickly extinguished.

The side that defends the city always has an advantage, and the casualties of the two sides are very different. Even if the difference in strength is several times, it seems that there is hope of victory.

With such an optimistic attitude, Hyde stood inside a protective barrier and observed the situation of the enemy camp.

Suddenly he noticed a movement in the grass.

Standing on the towering city wall, the grass is not grass, but the dense woods not far away.The sensation that he could directly observe was definitely a large-scale change in the woods.

A huge ladder was pushed out.

The ladder was mounted on a coffin coffin cart, which was very solid and wide enough for five or six people to climb side by side.

If such a ladder is placed on the city wall, it cannot be pushed away by manpower. The generals on the city wall immediately observed the direction of the ladder, transported the fire oil, and prepared to wait for the ladder to approach before sending the wooden monster into the fire.

But the ladder only went halfway, and stopped before it got close to the city wall.

A huge rune bear, half the size of a giant dragon, rushed out of the woods, jumped directly over the enemy's camp, jumped onto the ladder, and made several run-ups, leaped from mid-air, and landed directly on the city wall superior.

When such a monster entered the city, Hyde hurriedly commanded the forces to eliminate it.

But the giant bear was too strong, and all the fire oil prepared for the ladder was poured on the giant bear, but the giant bear extinguished the flames after a few rolls, and the flames only made it more angry and manic.

The besiegers took advantage of the chaos and set up ladders to climb the city wall at a faster speed.

Hyde stood in the protective cover, looking anxiously at the big bear on the city wall. The huge creature with rough skin and thick flesh had tenacious vitality, and it would take a lot of effort to kill it.

Hyde noticed that Nameless was still observing the woods, and shouted at him:

"Why don't you help me? Aren't you amazing!"

"A ladder and a bear can't shake such a large forest." Nameless stared at the direction of the forest intently.

In the woods, dense "cannonballs" were suddenly fired.

The shell was like a pumpkin, not much smaller than a rune bear.

Taking a closer look, Wuming found that the pumpkin shells were made up of people. Each of them was wearing a shield and formed a circle. They were fired into the air from the woods and blasted towards Fortress Hyde.

Arrows shot at these shells, but they couldn't stop them from advancing. Pumpkin shells smashed into the city one after another, falling to the ground and blooming.

The strong warrior deflected the impact with only arms and shields, and smashed all directions in the city.

Wuming looked at those pumpkin shells with great interest, took out a notebook and recorded something on them.

"Are you still making a move?" Hyde was anxious.

Now too many people rushed into the city, without the protection of the city wall, the biggest advantage of Hyde Fortress was directly wiped out.If the city gate is opened again, the enemy army will drive straight in, and everything will be over.

"What should I do? Didn't your men fight well?" Wu Ming pointed to the battle situation under the city wall.

Hyde calmed down a bit, carefully observed the battle outside the city, and unexpectedly found that the fight was quite stalemate.

Those brave fighters who can be turned into shells and smashed across tens of meters of heights are actually the same as...

"They are so inseparable from the immortals in the city?" Hyde was surprised. "They are so weak?"

Those warriors holding up their shields raised their big shields at the beginning, knocking the besiegers to pieces, but after a while, they seemed to have exhausted their strength and could no longer lift their big shields, so they could only pick up their long shields. Fighting with swords.After a while, they were almost strung together by residents holding pitchforks.

"It's normal to be poisoned." Nameless said, "It's starting to take effect."

"Poisoned?" Hyde hurriedly observed outside the city wall.

Not only inside the city, but also a large number of soldiers outside the city became sluggish, and some even threw down their weapons and vomited on the spot.

"Did you play?" Hyde asked.

"That's right." Nameless said.

Hyde looked at the supply carriage that had been trampled into wreckage on the battlefield, and suddenly realized:

"You poisoned the supply and let them capture it on purpose?"

"No, there is no poison in the food." Wuming said, "The food is just delicious, and it is relatively greasy and dry. You can eat it with wine to your heart's content."

"Drinks?" Hyde was puzzled, "Where did you find the time to poison their drinks?"

"What kind of business do I do?" Wuming said.

"Don't you just want to make money and do everything?"

"That's right, so I've done a lot of research." Nameless said, "When they march and fight, they don't bring all the drinks and food by themselves. They need to properly collect food and grass along the way. For drinks, at most, use wine barrels to pack some raw Pulp, and then blend the reference later."

Wuming said leisurely: "Wine is a good thing. It can boost the spirits, make soldiers more fanatical, disinfect wounds, and make drinking water cleaner. It's a pity that wine is also relatively expensive. Whether it is a commoner or a lord, you still have to drink it. Have some water to drink."

Wuming said: "They always get water from local wells and lakes."

"But I still don't understand, when did you get poisoned, and how did you know where the other party got the water?" Hyde asked.

"Have you forgotten what my employees in the foggy forest are here for? They are here for surveying. Through the detection of the Shifra River, I learned one thing-the underground water source of the Shifra River feeds a large area. The distance The little golden tree not far from Hyde Fortress continuously draws water up from afar, as well as man-made well water, or directly goes to the Shifra River to get water."

"But the scope of the groundwater is too large. The Shifra River extends all the way to Galeide. The knowledge you have can't explain how you know the specific location of the other party's water intake?" Hyde said.

"I don't need to know." Wuming grinned, his tone serious.

Hyde subconsciously asked: "No? Why not—"

He suddenly shut up, looking at Wuming like he was watching a ghost:
"You...you polluted the entire underground river?"

"In this way, no matter what method they use to get water, they will not be able to avoid poisoning." Nameless replied calmly, "And every tree in the fog forest will emit some toxins, as long as they are still hiding near the fog forest, they will be more poisonous than us. Poisoned first."

"Are you crazy!" Hyde rushed out of the protective barrier regardless of the arrows around him, and grabbed Wuming's neck, "Are you going to kill everyone?"

"Don't worry, I've been looking at the well these days, the poison hasn't spread to your city yet." Wuming said, "Thank you for the remote location of your fortress."

"Madman..." Hyde muttered to himself.

He suddenly realized something: "What poison did you poison?"

Hyde stared at Wuming, hoping not to hear the worst guess in his heart.

"What else can it be? Scarlet is corrupt." Nameless said, "Ordinary alcohol can't eliminate corruption, and besides the foggy forest is Gai Lide, so it's easy to use."

Hyde took a few steps back and sat back on the protective cover.

He plucked his beard fiercely, forced himself to calm down with pain, and thought about the next question.

The corruption has come out, and there is no suspense in this siege.But the next question is whether Fort Hyde can survive the corruption.More importantly, whether King Nefeli's reputation will survive.

Inside and outside the fortress, the sound of fighting is rapidly fading, and the terrifying poison is spreading in this area, and both the lord and the people are aware of it.

The giant bear was still slaughtering on the city wall. Seeing Wuming, he rushed over and smashed this iron dwarf just like tearing up other warriors.

The giant bear's paw hit the iron wall, and its slender arms propped up the shield to block its claws, but it remained motionless.

On the upper edge of the shield are lava-like eyes.

Before the Rune Bear could react, he was thrown off the city wall by a huge force and hit the siege soldiers below the city.

"You actually said that we only dare to scare people with corruption." Wuming patted the bear hair on his hand,
"To clarify, we don't just use it to scare people."

===========
In Stonewell City, King Nefeli launched a massive campaign—all residents of the city volunteered to clean up the huge amphitheater in the east of Wailing Hill.

The arena, which was used for battle ceremonies, is now abolished.

To clean the arena, this is the first time that King Nefeli has issued such a strong order, requiring the whole city to work voluntarily.

But there were not many complaints from the city.

On the contrary, many people are looking forward to what King Nefeli will do in the future.

When the arena was cleaned up, washed away the dust left by history, and looked brand new again, people stood by the viewing seats of the arena and stared at the center of the arena.

Standing in the center of the arena, King Nefeli announced her decision to restart the arena under the eyes of everyone.

The cheers soared into the sky, and the storm froze.

Watching the sinners wrestling on the field, the collision of flesh and flesh, the interweaving of blood and fire, the boiling blood can infect these long-lived golden people along with the death fight on the field, allowing them to experience the long-lost trembling and excitement.

That's a great movement to prove they're "alive".

King Radagon has been scolded by the people for many years just because of the policy of abolishing the arena, and he still hasn't shaken off the impression of a sissy.

And now a real bitch will defy the orders of Radagon, Lord of Elden, and restart the arena.

"King Nefeli!"

The inhabitants of the city cheered and praised their queen, stomping and roaring in unison, and the arena shook.

"Everyone!" Nefeli responded with the same loud roar, which spread throughout the arena under the influence of the storm, "I restarted the arena today, but my arena is different from the traditional arena. This is not a sinner slave The occasion for fighting is not the arena for gladiators."

The surroundings became quiet, and the people of gold did not understand what Nefeli wanted to express.

Isn't the arena the place where gladiators fight?

"The fighters shed their blood on the field, and the audience sits on the stage and screams? Is it an honor to see the fighters you support win?" Nefeli said, "Too cowardly! A real fighter must come to this battlefield by himself , to hunt for honor for myself!"

Nefeli announced: "From today onwards, a battle festival will be held throughout the city, and every resident must participate in the battle! This will not be a deathmatch. It will end when one party admits defeat. If you don't want to participate, you can come up and admit defeat. Let the arena be dyed red!"

There were cheers again in the arena, but this time the noise was much smaller.

Neferi smiled when she heard the much quieter voice.

"The strongest winner will become a warrior and have the chance to challenge me. If you can defeat me, you can become Stonewell and become the king of Nimgfu!" Nefeli added fire, "This It is the competition of our barren land, the competition of the brave!"
