Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

The lords retreated for the time being. Even Hyde was shocked by Wuming's madness, and these lords were also scared.

And when they found out what kind of poison was in their bodies, they were even more shocked and worried.

Is Hyde mad? Using corruption? the Lord of Skull Crown said as he coughed.

Let's find a way to cure it first. The lord wearing scale armor said, Judging from the symptoms, our poisoning should be relatively mild, and it is possible to cure it.

But we don't have a military doctor who can treat corruption. We need to find an antidote, and we have to send people to Galid to ask the Red Lion for help. Lord Donkey Head said, This will waste a lot of time.

But if you don’t waste time, the poisoned person will only become worse.

The lords were in trouble and hesitated.

Send a small team to Galid for help, and the rest will be on standby. A lord suggested.

One of our teams will not be able to come back if they go to Galid. Only if at least one lord leads his own army can they come back alive.

How about...asking that adult?

The lords were silent, and after a moment, they all nodded heavily.

As lords, they are not willing to ask that big shot for everything, but the power of law such as corruption is not something they can solve.

The lords stood together and took out a disk with complex magic array patterns carved on it, covered with iris flowers, staffs and swords.

The magic circle was activated, and Baozhi's figure appeared in front of the lords.

Everyone, are you in trouble when you contact me now? Baizhi asked.

How do you know? Lord Skeleton Crown asked, Can't it mean that we have already obtained Hyde Fortress?

I believe in your strength. Bai Zhi said, But as far as I know, Neferi sent a troublesome guy to Hyde Fortress, and you may not be able to solve it.

Your guess is very accurate. Lord Donkey Head sighed, Not only is it difficult, it is simply a lunatic.

But I don't know what methods that person will use. How were you repelled? Bai Zhi asked.

Corruption, they used corruption. Lord Donkey Head said with fear in his tone, Is Neferi really related to the Knight of Corruption?

The Knights of Corruption will not actively use corruption as a weapon. Momochi said, If Neferi has the help of the Knights of Corruption, they will not need to use corruption to deal with you.

These words made the lords feel uncomfortable, but they were indeed true. Moreover, they could not afford to offend either the Rotten Knight or the Bai Zhi in front of them, so they could only hold it in.

Bai Zhi said: Corruption...it is indeed crazy. But this kind of madness will harm themselves sooner or later.

But it will kill us first. The lord in scale armor said, Your Excellency Momochi, what we want to ask is if you have an antidote? We are all infected with a slight corruption disease.

No problem, I will give you some antidote. Bai Zhi said, Your mission has been completed.

But we haven't captured Hyde Fortress yet? the lord said.

The purpose of attacking Hyde Fortress is two-fold. Bai Zhi said. The first is to cut off the supplies that Wulin supplies to Stonewell. Now infected with corruption, these resources are basically useless. The second is to contain Neferi. Now they take the initiative Using corruption, the pressure of public opinion is enough to contain her. With this fact, you can get broad support and she will become an unjust tyrant.

Baizhi nodded lightly: I will help you publicize it. This news will spread throughout Nimgefu, and even to the interior of Hyde Fortress. But I'm afraid I don't need to publicize it. Now the people in the city want to tear that guy apart. Bar.

Momochi's prediction was correct, there was indeed something uncontrollable inside Hyde Fortress.

The people in the city saw with their own eyes that those powerful warriors were weakened by the poison, and rotten patches began to grow on their bodies.

This kind of terror soon swept through the city. To deal with fear, people used to escape with anger. A large number of residents went to Hyde to ask for an explanation. The upright knights who followed Hyde did not stop him, but followed him to question Hyde.

Many people began to desperately draw water from wells, hoping to occupy more unpolluted water sources.

Facing the angry crowd, Hyde couldn't stand it - he directly switched sides and stood on the side of the crowd. He hung Wuming up outside the city wall and questioned Wuming along with his men.

I helped you repel the coalition forces, and you are treating me like this? Remember Hyde, we are allies. Wuming said while hanging on the rope, I feel like I was hung like this last time in Red Lion City. Maybe This must be my fate with corruption.”

You did go too far, Hyde said.

Don't worry, it's actually not that serious. Wuming said, Until the corruption accumulates to a certain level, it is not a serious terminal disease and can be cured. I have the medicine and supply it to you for free. As for poisoning the water, it's Don’t worry. The flow of the Shivra River is from the Misty Forest to Galid, and as long as there is water in the river, corruption will flow to Galid.”

After hearing Wuming's explanation, the residents' noise became a little quieter. As long as it doesn't affect them, they are content.

Don't you think about the impact on King Nefeli? Hyde said, It will be difficult for King Nefeli to do this if you mess around like this!

How did I mess up? Wuming asked back.

You... are spreading corruption on a large scale! Hyde said.

We don't have to admit it. Wuming gave Hyde advice.

Haide almost laughed angrily: You kid, you still don't admit it? Even if you don't admit it, someone has to believe it!

Just as he was talking, several war eagles suddenly flew from the sky and dropped a lot of paper, falling all over the fortress.

Hyde picked up one and looked at it, trembling in front of Wuming's eyes:

Did you see it? Did you see it? This is handing a knife to the enemy!

You were shaking too fast, I couldn't see you. Wuming said.

The proclamation that denounces us! Hyde said, denounces our use of corruption, regardless of the surrounding environment and our own people. The use of corruption proves that King Neferi's so-called righteousness and kindness are nothing but hypocritical lies. Under the skin of hypocrisy is a despicable soul full of ambition...'

Hyde was heartbroken: How could you let King Neferi fall into such an unkind and unjust situation!

Wuming was surprised: Do they care so much about corruption? Then why don't they help Red Lion fight corruption?

Nonsense, they can't defeat the bugs. Hyde said, But they can defeat us. If the people of Nimgefu are incited by them, they can also defeat King Neferi——

Hyde suddenly remembered something, glanced at the knights and people behind him, coughed, and distanced himself from Wuming:

Don't act like you know me very well, now is your trial!

Then let me ask you a question - why are you sure it was me who poisoned you? Wuming said.

Hyde was helpless: Let's not play this kind of game, okay? Everyone knows who is responsible. You are not giving me an explanation. You are giving an explanation to the people in the city and King Neferi.

My explanation is, it's not me. Wuming said, You can just say the same to the outside world. I suggest you send a letter to Neferina as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy, which will not be good for public opinion.

You still have the nerve to speak out about public opinion? Hyde was deeply shocked by Wuming's shamelessness.

But he didn't stop, and immediately wrote a letter to Nefeli to report the situation, and asked War Eagle to report back to Stonewell.

The war eagle had just been released and was shot down in mid-air.

The coalition forces are still trying to block the letters? Hyde watched as the war eagle whirled and fell into the foggy forest. Isn't it poisoned?

Many soldiers once again appeared in the foggy forest. They seemed to be in good health and in good health, and they filed out of the foggy forest.

People of Hyde Fortress, listen, you have released corruption and are already a group of sinners. Surrendering out of the city is the only way for you to atone for your sins! The lords stepped forward and shouted, Otherwise you will have committed a serious crime!

Wuming was dissatisfied when he heard the shouting:

Who said that surrender is the only way to atone for sins? Even if you can use runes, you can wash away your sins by bathing in star dew drops. What's the problem with you?

When Hyde saw that the soldiers of the coalition forces were like no one and were pressing forward again, he wanted to cry but had no tears:

Look at what bad idea you came up with. You failed to deal with the enemy, and even let King Neferi Feng Ping be killed. What should we do now?

I suggest you use my method. Wuming said, Hyde, use strong words.

Hyde glared at Wuming, bravely climbed up to the wall, and shouted with insufficient confidence:

Don't talk nonsense. Do you have any evidence?

The lords looked at each other in shock when they saw that Hyde actually refused to admit it.

Do you need evidence? shouted the grumpy lord, As soon as we attacked your fortress, we started getting poisoned. Isn't this your fault?

If I had done something wrong, you should all have been poisoned before attacking the city. Do you have to wait for you to fight with us for a while? Hyde said, You said we were poisoned, but tell me, how did we do it? Do you see anyone or anything carrying corruption?”

The lords suddenly became silent.

After the poisoning, of course they suspected that the problem was with those trucks of supplies, but no matter how they checked or experimented, they could not find traces of corruption in the ten trucks of supplies.

It must have been poisoned in the forest! the lords said.

We are the ones who are besieged, not you. Hyde sneered, You almost have more secret sentries than our soldiers. How can we poison the forest? Can we get out?

The lords were silent. Seeing this, Hyde nodded with satisfaction.

He expected that these lords would not think about how crazy Wuming was, and directly infected the entire Shivla River with corruption, spreading the corruption disease through the small golden tree.

The more Hyde talked, the more he felt that he was very good at quibbling. Maybe Wuming's method was really feasible and he could really fool him.

Hyde takes advantage of the victory to pursue:

You said I poisoned the fog forest. The fog forest is my territory. Why should I ruin my own future? Can we survive the corruption? This is a serious disease that even the red lion can't help!

The lord wearing a huge helmet walked to the front of the formation and pointed his sword at Hyde:

Hyde, what you said makes sense. I'm stupid and can't think of any reason to refute you.

Hyde was relieved when he heard the lord say this.

The lord continued:

But my father taught me that no matter how reasonable your enemies are, it depends on the results.

Lord Gianthelm said: The result is - we were poisoned, but you were fine. Our attack was disintegrated, and you became the one who finally gained. Do you think I will believe your lies?

He picked up his big bow and shot an arrow at Wuming who was hanging outside the city wall, nailing it to his buttocks and shaking him around.

Wuming shook and laughed:

What they said makes sense.

There is a nonsense, it's just lazy thinking that gives up thinking. Hyde's tone was full of despair, But the border area is full of people who refuse to think. Everyone will accept his rhetoric - I believe we are surrendering. Poisonous people, and we are indeed. Although it is lazy thinking, the result is correct.

Is the winner the way of thinking of the mastermind behind the scenes? Wuming nodded, They happen to be the beneficiaries of this set of thinking.

Hyde covered his face, and when he looked up again, his golden beard had faded a little:

Now there is only one way.

What solution? Wuming asked.

It's time to cut, Hyde said.

He took out the small dagger he had with him and began to cut the rope that hung Wuming.

Yes, you finally figured it out. We are allies. Wuming was very pleased, But can you lift me up to the city wall? If you cut me off like this, I will fall.

The meaning of cutting is that the decision to publicize poisoning is yours alone and has nothing to do with us. Hyde cut the rope expressionlessly, Guess what? What a coincidence, this is actually the case!

Hyde was cutting the rope, and there was a commotion below the city.

Have they started to attack the city? Hyde immediately squatted under the city wall, holding his head and asked the general.

The soldiers shook their heads slowly, with doubts in their expressions.

Hyde stood up again and found many screams coming from the foggy forest, followed by screams and the sound of swordsmen exchanging swords and killing each other.

Among these sounds, there were many rustling sounds coming from the foggy forest, and the sounds became louder and louder, gradually overwhelming the screams.

No, it's not that the sound is getting louder, but that the human voices in the foggy forest are rapidly weakening.

What's going on? Hyde was a little frightened when he heard those screams.

Maybe the person behind the scenes who benefited is here. Wuming guessed.

The sound gradually moved outward from the foggy forest, and Hyde finally saw the source of the rustling sound.

The generals in the city and the lords below the city turned pale when they saw what came out of the foggy forest.

The face of the lord below the city was particularly pale.

But these pale faces are not as pale as the things that rush out of the foggy forest, and they are more ferocious and terrifying.

They have many arms and legs, holding strange swords and halberds. They are pale and strange, and make a buzzing sound that is difficult for humans to understand.

Seeing these bugs, Lord Gianthelm roared: Shields!

The soldiers ignored the Hyde Fortress behind them, exposed their backs to the rear, and rushed forward with their shields on their backs.

But the strong shield met the ferocious spear, and the pale filaments rained down like a waterfall, bombarding the shield. Almost instantly, the soldiers' shields were rushed away, and then their bodies were penetrated by insect threads.

The corrupt family spread beyond Galid and into Nimgefu.

The first one to bear the brunt is the fog forest area close to Galid.
