Beautiful Another World Red Tide

"It seems that they intend to wipe us out completely." Sumarokov saw the other two comrades, Brandon and Conrad, also surrounded him, so he also said seriously.

"It is absolutely impossible to continue to advance eastward. Since there are heavy guards and preparations for a decisive battle over there, it is tantamount to a dead end now." Conrad said.

"Where can we go if we don't go to the east? Zhongnan is our destination. As long as we return to Zhongnan, everything will be easy to talk about." Brandon retorted.

"Comrades all want to go to Zhongnan. If we change the direction, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone." Brandon continued.

"Conrad is right, you can't go east anymore." Yegor also said seriously.

"Continuing to go east is tantamount to asking for a dead end. We must change direction and head for other places." Egor suggested.

"Where are we going? Roportia is farther away from us, and there are devils attacking there, so we can't reach Roportia." Conrad shook his head and said.

"I've heard of such a thing before." Sumarokov suddenly interrupted the argument, as if remembering something important, and said to several people.

"I once heard that there was a group of people like us who had made a long journey of [-] miles. They also made a difficult turn in the siege, and finally gained stability and survived." Sumarokov said.

"It's okay not to go to Zhongnan. The fire of revolution will eventually burn all over Dalim. Everyone, as long as the fire is preserved, what can we do if we don't go to Zhongnan?" Sumarokov explained to several people road.

"Then should we go there? To Roportia? Back to Central Province? Or local?" Brandon asked.

"Go to the southwest." Sumarokov replied with a serious expression.

"The southwestern region is mountainous and steep, which is not suitable for attacking and fighting. If we can open up a new revolutionary area there, we don't have to worry about being surrounded." Sumarokov wiped his white Beard, said with a smile.

"It is too dangerous to open up a revolutionary land in the plains or hilly areas. If my idea is correct, as long as we advance firmly to the southwest, the pursuers behind us should also slow down their offensive and drive us southwest like herding sheep. That way, Our vitality has increased by a factor of [-]," Sumarokov said decisively.

"Let's vote with a show of hands." Sumarokov raised his hand first and said.

Even with Cauchy who just came back, the four of them unanimously agreed with Sumarokov's decision.This is a moment of life and death, and it is not allowed to continue to let their temper and ideas go wild. They must be responsible for the three hundred comrades, and they must make the chances of transfer won by the sacrificed comrades not cheap and meaningless.If this army continues to go east and is completely wiped out, then all the efforts it has made will be in vain.

"I don't know if there will be a chance to see Mr. Sun Boyang again in this life." Yegor said after seeing the unanimous vote passed and put down his hands for a while.

"I'll see you." Sumarokov patted him on the shoulder, then touched the golden badge in his pocket and said.

"Most definitely."

......

"Shoot! Don't let one go!"

Inside the forest, the officer's shout was sharp and fierce, and he brandished his sword, calling to the crypt shooters behind to shoot forward and shoot at those who were still fleeing.The shooters of the Crypt Tribe submissively raised their tails and stuffed them into their spears, and with a "bang" sound, they fired several sharp spears at those fleeing in the forest.

Several people in cloaks were shot down by the sharp spear, and they fell to the ground and couldn't get up.The two men in armor running in front of them immediately turned around and drew their swords, slashing and blocking the incoming spears.The pursuers behind were getting closer and closer, the cavalry of the Yintu tribe came galloping on horses, and the warriors of the fear tribe also wore heavy armor and quickly prepared to surround them on three sides.From time to time, a few arcane weapons flew by, hitting their sides.

Time could not be delayed any longer, a warrior immediately helped one of the cloaked figures and took out a small package from his arms.After seeing this move, the officer over there shouted even more vigorously.He yelled and cursed fiercely, telling the soldiers to take them down immediately, and take down the small package with them.

"Bring back the package! Otherwise, the military department will ask you!" The officer shouted.

The blood-stained package was stuffed into the armor by the soldiers, and the two of them ran to the depths of the forest, trying to escape.A young gargoyle soldier flapped his wings in the sky and looked down. Through the vague forest, he saw at least 50 soldiers moving here, preparing to catch this group of 'heinous' imperial criminals.It's really confusing, what kind of prisoner needs so many soldiers to arrest?

"Alas! We can't go any further. Any further is the control zone of the abomination. Our current altitude will be hooked down by their hooks." An old gargoyle air force flew to the young gargoyle air force to remind road.

"Raising the altitude, we are ready to return. Those idiots, there are so many people who can't catch a few people. After so many days of providing air support for them, they still look like this." The old gargoyle said disdainfully.

The last two soldiers were also attacked by spears, and they crawled forward with difficulty.One of the warriors saw a silver-eyed cavalry slashing at the warrior beside him wielding a long sword behind him, and he immediately used his last strength to throw down the warrior next to him, blocking the fatal blow for him. hit.With the low sound of pain, his soul finally returned to the embrace of the Holy Goddess, and he no longer suffered in this chaotic world.

The hook lock was thrown out of the ground from the darkness, and five giants in brass armor at least two meters high got up from the ground, brandishing their broadswords and hooks to launch a fatal attack on the pursuers.A 'giant' wearing bronze-colored armor also came out from the depths of the forest, threw a bigger spear forward and stabbed the officer over there at once.He bent down and turned over the soldier's body again, and took the blood-stained package under the excited eyes of another surviving soldier.

It really makes people wonder, why do these sympathizer brothers send a small package when they send supplies?And it's a book?Is this book really useful to them?Although Abomination was confused, he still stuffed the book into his armor, intending to go back and give it to his captain.

239 The Potential of the Northern Expedition

"I haven't been back to the government city for more than half a year. I don't know what's new recently?"

Sun Raul walked to the second floor in an ordinary blue overalls, talking with Felicia next to him with a smile.Returning to the government city after a long absence made him very happy. Everything looked prosperous. Although the severe drought seriously affected the grain reserves and various problems in the territory, the factory was still operating normally.

He saw that there were significantly more factories in the city than when he left, and vertical chimneys and workers in a hurry could be seen everywhere in the government city.He even saw some government officials walking forward on strange 'wheels', that is, they don't need horses to pull carts, and they don't need cattle, they just rely on their own legs to move forward.He also saw many 'alchemists' pouring into major factories in groups, as if they were serving as consultants to the factory workers.How fresh, alchemists can be consultants?

"There are many things." Felicia looked up and thought for a while and replied.

"Those alchemists have done a lot of tricks. Recently, they sent a document to Mr. Sun Boyang. They said they wanted to officially change the name of their alchemy, and temporarily called it phlogiston alchemy. They said they wanted to distinguish it from traditional alchemy. "Felicia smiled and said to Sun Raul.

"What are those wheels outside?" Sun Raul asked with gestures.

"It's those things that people can ride on when they put two wheels together. It's really strange, how can he walk without a horse?" Sun Raul said very curiously.

"Mr. Sun Boyang said that it is a bicycle." Felicia easily held up a thick document in one hand, freeing the other hand and said to Sun Raul.

"It was invented by a teacher of the Engineering College. He said that commuting to and from get off work every day and taking a public carriage was too wasteful of resources, so he simply made such a thing by himself. At first, this thing could not even turn around. If you want to change the road, you have to ask people Get down and move it. Later, this matter was reported to Mr. Sun Boyang, and Mr. Sun Boyang rushed over to discuss with the teacher without any food at that time, and added a handlebar in front, so he could turn around." Fei Licia said mysteriously again.

"Mr. Sun Boyang rides that thing to and from get off work every day, and he is very happy every time he rides it. It's like a child got a toy." Felicia and Sun Lauer laughed together and said.

"I feel a little behind the times. It's just that I don't understand anything after staying in Xizhongnan for more than half a year. How wonderful, this is progress. Everything is developing and changing. It changes every day." Sun Raul looked out through the window in the corridor. The drought was serious, but it didn't break everyone's fighting spirit.Everyone is 'fighting' hard, vowing to bring this drought down to the ground.

"I want to ask something." Sun Raul suddenly fell silent, walked to the front of the office with Felicia and said again.

"I want to ask you about Stander?" Felicia said as if she had been prepared.

"No, I don't want to ask anymore." Sun Raul said with a sigh.

"Who is outside? Please come in."

Sun Boyang's voice came from inside, and this familiar voice made Sun Raul startled, and hurriedly checked his clothes for any irregularities or inappropriate places.He respects and loves his elder brother more than any comrade, and admires Sun Boyang even more.Because of this, he will always carry out Sun Boyang's instructions without any delay, and even often his approach will be very radical, and he would rather go above than below.

"Total." Sun Raul said as he pushed the door open.

"Ah. Raul! Sit down, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year!" Sun Boyang straightened up when he was lying on the table, put down the charcoal pencil in his hand, and immediately said to Sun Raul.

"You look thinner, did you not sleep well? Or did you not eat well?" Sun Boyang checked Sun Raul's body again and asked with a smile.

"Drought, the food must be worse, give priority to the comrades who have to go to work in the field, and eat less." Sun Raul laughed very heartily when he saw his brother caring about him so much, and said indifferently.

"It will be resolved soon, my dear brother." Sun Boyang grabbed two dried dates from the small plate on the table and stuffed them to Sun Raul and said with a smile.

"My father left it for you. You should go back to see your father tonight. He misses you very much and wants to go to Xizhongnan many times to see you." Sun Boyang patted the back of Sun Raul's hand and said.

"Is Dad okay?" Sun Raul put two dried dates into his pocket and put them away carefully.

"He is very energetic, and he is clamoring to go out to do things every day." Sun Boyang said, taking out a cigarette from his pocket.

"It's inevitable, after all, there is nothing to do. Dad is also very bored." Sun Raul nodded and replied.

"What do you mean by saying that it will be resolved soon? Brother?" Sun Raul became serious again and asked sideways.

"I received a letter from Comrade Brian's teacher." Sun Boyang straightened up and said to Sun Raul.

"This mage comrade is probably already on his way to the government city. He should be able to alleviate the drought problem in the south-central region and restore normal farming. But, just need to allocate a large amount of funds." Sun Boyang took a deep breath said with a puff of cigarette.

"That's very good. As long as it can alleviate the drought, even if it kills me, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Brother, how much money does he need?" Sun Raul asked, rubbing his chest.

"At least 40 gold coins." Sun Boyang also said with a very serious face.

"Ah?! 40? This..." Sun Raul said in shock.

"The amount of money is just his rough estimate. If we take into account the lack of magicians and magic materials faced by the Zhongnan government, it is estimated that the cost will not be less than 45." Sun Boyang shook his head. Said.

"That's too much, it's just not right." Sun Raul opened his mouth and swallowed the words in a low voice.

"Money, we can still afford it. These days, the southeastern province has increased the demand for firecrackers. Not only Commander Victor, but also those warlords are also working hard to order weapons from us. The southwest and Simak The Earl has also been buying various commodities and reselling them to the north, and the monthly transactions have created a lot of income for us, otherwise, where do you think our food comes from?" Sun Boyang said with a smile.

"As long as the profit is sufficient, even if they know that the two sides are going to fight, they will still be willing to make a deal." Sun Boyang continued.

"It's really a group of guys who only know about profit. They only have money in their eyes, and they can't tolerate anything else. Who would have thought that they are already hostile, and they still want to do business." Sun Lauer felt that everything was too magical. He I thought that the two sides should be enemies of life and death, and both sides must try their best to kill the enemy.Who would have thought that everyone on the stage would respond to the Government of the Brave, expressing their incompatibility with the Confederate Government of the South, and secretly turn the so-called "blockade line" into a trade line?

"In this way, I am afraid that there will not be enough money for other aspects of development, right? This is not a small amount, and the further development of other industries will definitely be blocked." Sun Raul said very worriedly.

"Agriculture is the root of the foundation. If agriculture is always poor and weak, then our education, military, and industry are useless. Once the enemy decides to run out of food, we will definitely be stuck. And now the purchase of food is getting worse. It's difficult, if you continue to drag it on, you will die." Sun Boyang said firmly.

"Raul, you should understand why I asked you to come back, right?" Sun Boyang continued with a cigarette in his hand.

"In short, even if I die, I will never want this money to go anywhere!" Sun Raul stood up and saluted.

"Comrade Sun Raul, you must do your best to support the work of the upcoming Comrade Chebelin. This money is not allowed to be misappropriated anywhere. Perhaps the reason other comrades came to ask is out of good intentions and for the development of all walks of life But agriculture is nothing else, fellow farmers are still waiting for this life-saving rain, waiting for the drought to end. We can't delay any longer." Sun Boyang also stood up and said.

"Brother, don't worry. I understand what you mean." Sun Raul said with a gesture.

"Stander's matter will not affect me. He should be punished and judged if he made a mistake. I will strictly implement the organizational arrangements and strictly protect and use the money." Sun Lauer continued.

"When this is over, I have another thing to arrange for you." Sun Boyang pressed Sun Raul's shoulder again and said.

"You are going to the southeast province, where you will be the chief liaison officer. Don't think that this job is not as important as the affairs of the West, Central and South. I want to tell you that the Northern Expedition is about to begin." Sun Boyang said seriously.

"Is the Northern Expedition going? The Southeast Province has decided?" Sun Raul asked in surprise.

"Yes, there is no longer any delay. The soldiers of the Revolutionary Army in the south-central and southeast are ready to liberate Quanyongda at any moment. According to the news sent by Commander Victor, the Revolutionary Army that he can directly control now has already When the number of a legion is increased, the rest of the warlords will also send troops to support them."

"I'm afraid it's not just these reasons, right? There are warlords from all over the southeastern province, why didn't Victor integrate them first and then organize the Northern Expedition?" Sun Raul asked suspiciously.

"It's a physical problem." Sun Boyang picked up a letter from the table and unfolded it to Sun Raul.

"Firstly, it is a physical problem. Commander Victor said that his health has been declining recently, and he has been somewhat unable to deal with the cumbersome affairs of the southeastern province. Therefore, the Northern Expedition cannot be delayed any longer. Secondly, the warlords are temporarily unable to move. It will affect the overall situation. If we rush to integrate internally, I am afraid it will cause all the warlords to turn against each other." Sun Boyang shook his head and said.

"In summary, the Northern Expedition is imminent."

240 rain

"What's the date today?" Chebelin suddenly asked Alisa.

"May [-]th, [-], the weather was fine..." Eliza replied after thinking for a while.

"Yes, it's very sunny." Chebelin looked at the dry and cracked land ahead, and slowly repeated what Alisa said.

"Comrade Che Belin, according to Comrade Sun Raul's instructions, I will be responsible for the assistance work this time."

Vasily at the side saw Che Belin staring blankly at the village in front of him, wondering what he was thinking, and couldn't help but stepped forward to remind him.He has just been transferred from the investigation line as instructed, and is responsible for the support and assistance work here.Vasily was actually very reluctant to serve as a "bodyguard" for the magician in the name of assisting him, but once he learned about the mission of the great magician from Sun Raul, he became very active. He even wished that the often gloomy magician with a hurt expression would make more demands to solve the drought problem earlier.

"I know." Chebelin said as he walked forward with his cane.

"This time, the central government allocated a total of 45 gold coins for your use. According to the plan, we will hire magicians, purchase magic props and magic crystals for use. If you have other requirements, we can prepare them immediately. "Vassily put his hands on his armed belt and explained to Chebelin in front of him.

"There is no need for anything else, these are enough for a part of the South Central region." Chebelin nodded and said.

"Then you should prepare earlier..." Vasily spread his hands and said.

"I escaped from Wangcheng, and I passed through the south-central region and southeast province all the way, and finally came to you." Chebelin said with a meaningful glance at Vasily.

"I'm very curious. In terms of wealth, whether it is the Earl of Simac or the Southeast Province, it must be several times that of you. But why are you the only one who is willing to give up the money to relieve the drought?" Chebelin said in his heart Asked the biggest doubt in the middle.

"The 45 yuan, you can use it to expand the army or take it to the office factory. Why are you willing to spend so much money to do this? Why? Can you tell me?" Che Beilin stretched out Putting a hand on Vasily's shoulder and staring into Vasily's eyes, he asked.

"Because Leszek is different from others, sir."

Bryan's voice came from behind Chabelin. He was wearing a black suit usually worn by the internal affairs staff of the Central South Government. He walked up with another gentleman wearing glasses and said.

"Teacher, you probably don't know the basis of the existence of the Central South government and our Leszek. The basis of our existence is based on farmers and workers, based on the working people. From the beginning to the end, we are not trying to separate the people in their eyes, but in their eyes. Warlords. If our existence is not for the workers and peasants, then there is no need for us to exist." Brian explained to Master Chebelin.

"Three places in the south and four provinces in the north, there is one who doesn't talk about democracy." Master Che Belin sighed.

"In the end, I found out that the only one who really followed through to the end was the Zhongnan government, which was slandered by outsiders as a peasant bandit."

Master Che Bielin recalled what he had seen and heard in the past few days. The drought in the Central South government was no less severe than other areas, and there were dry rivers and fields everywhere.But along the way, he visited almost every village and town, and he didn't see the yellow and emaciated people and the remains that can be seen everywhere in other places.In every village and town, although people are obviously not in good spirits together, and their movements are much slower because they eat less, everyone can meet basic normal activities. Those who can work go to work, and those who cannot go out go to work Spin threads at home.

He can even often see hunting teams hunting in the hills and woods to alleviate the lack of food.This further proves that the degree of starvation here is far from being fatal. Along the way, he has seen hungry and dying people in other places, not to mention going into the mountains to catch animals, even rabbits in front of him If he ran, he wouldn't have the strength to catch it.Would it be okay for the rest of the family to go hungry and feed one person, and ask him to go hunting and get food?The person who said this probably has never experienced hunger. If you want to starve the rest of the family, everyone is too hungry to walk. In this case, if you starve again, you will die.

To borrow food?Is it so easy to borrow food from big landlords?Who can lend you money?Under a catastrophe, who can guarantee that you will run away after borrowing for a few days?That is the real situation of great famine and drought. The bones of the dead are exposed in the wild, and no rooster crows for thousands of miles.

Compared with this, the food rationing of the Zhongnan government is nothing to mention, although other places are discrediting this approach of the Zhongnan government, discrediting this food rationing system as confiscating farmers' grain and starving them to death.But the farmers in the three nearby places understand that if there is a ration, there is food.Just like the confiscation of private property, if all the people who are squeezed out have no private property, then it makes no difference whether it is confiscated or not.

The entire Zhongnan government is united as one, and everyone is working hard to overcome the drought.This is something that I have never thought about before. If it was before, the king would probably distribute some relief funds, and then the nobles below would watch for a little treatment, and the rest would be up to the farmers to fend for themselves.When did the government really treat people as human beings?Probably only now.

"I need the help of at least seven high-level magicians, and at least 150 mages who have reached the level of low-level magicians to assist. I need high-level magic crystals, and I need a lot of magic tools and magic equipment to assist. If possible If so, I need to borrow some fast horses and postmen to deliver the news." Che Belin said after a moment of silence.

"We will prepare all of these within seven days." Brian nodded.

"I heard that you are still injured. Comrade Sun Raul said that if possible, you can rest for a few days to recover your health. We have many doctors in the Central South government, and their skills are also very skilled." Vasily suggested behind him.

"No, we can't delay any longer!" Che Beilin laughed loudly, patted the young man behind him on the shoulder and said.

"You can give up everything to cure the drought, so what can I not give up?" Master Chebelin looked at the scene in front of him and said vigorously.

His rare mood improved, and all the smoke and clouds of the past disappeared with this moment, turning into dust.Even when he became a mage, he had never been so happy. For the first time, he felt that he had fulfilled the mage's promise.During this last time, he recalled the oath he made to his teacher when he first became a low-level magician.

"The future of Zhongnan is doomed to be bumpy, but I believe that you can overcome all hardships and bring new life to the compatriots of Yongdalim. The brave men of the central province have signed a series of conspiratorial treaties with the demons. You must be extra careful Cautious and careful. But I believe that the future does not belong to the brave, nor does it belong to the adults or nobles. As long as you keep going, you will be able to plant your Zhongnan banner across the country." Che Beilin said the master to Vasily.

......

"A magician should be ascetic all his life, seek the limit of magic, and climb to the peak of magic. But we should remember that mastering magic does not mean that we can be proud and despise everything. On the contrary, we must remain humble and maintain the original benevolence. Magic The mysteries are not in killing, but in rebirth. Therefore, as the first generation of magic master Alex said, the value of a magician is not measured by the profound mastery of the mysteries of magic, but by how many good things we have done with magic. "

"I miss my teacher with this book: Master Charlie Chebelin. He fulfilled his duties as a magician and kept his oath until the last moment of his life. He relieved the drought for the Central South government at that time and brought life to the people. When we read the book "Introduction to Magician Science" proposed by Master Chebelin, we should read the first sentence of this text with infinite respect:"

"Magic is not a mystical theology. It is a science like alchemy and engineering. Talent is just a stepping stone to study magic, but to further study on this road, you still have to walk a thousand miles in your studies... ..”
