Chapter 5 The Upcoming Head-to-Head Confrontation
Xiao Yu watched the cavalry archers flee away in panic, and then looked at the refugees gathered around him.
Even if he couldn't see the faces of these poor guys clearly, Xiao Yu could still see that these shivering guys were not in a good condition, not to mention cold and hungry, and some even passed out in the arms of others.
Xiao Yu thought for a while, opened his backpack and took out a simple resting triangle tent.
According to the familiar tutorial, it took Xiao Yu tens of seconds to set up a triangular tent. For Xiao Yu, a single tent was enough for all refugees to have a shelter from the wind and rain.
Then Xiao Yu took out the dry military rations purchased online, crushed the compressed biscuits, put them on the transparent film, and handed them to Enrique and the others.
"This is... food?" A big man who was a follower of Enrique was already very hungry. He smelled the smell of biscuit crumbs, and with Xiao Yu's tacit consent, he walked over.
He picked up a piece of biscuit crumbs the size of a fist, swallowed his saliva smelling the scent, and took a bite.
Suddenly, a happy and satisfied smile appeared on the face of the big man.
"It was delicious, omg I've never had such delicious food!"
"Oh my god, is this really food we can eat?"
Xiao Yu was not surprised by the excitement of this big man. He knew that the Lilliputian world was a world with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and the resources were greatly tilted towards the extraordinary and the nobles.
Not to mention civilians, even professionals like big men live a life of rough food and lack of salt and vinegar.
In terms of the rich sugar and salt content of compressed biscuits, it is undoubtedly a baptism and a sublimation of their tongue desire!
Enrique also realized the fact that the food that Xiao Yu brought out was not only plentiful but also delicious, so he immediately straightened his face and stopped other followers from taking the food without authorization.
Under the deployment of Anrik, these followers quickly managed the refugees, restored order, and distributed food according to each person's specific situation.
"As expected of an official, did you use my food to establish your own order and prestige in the crowd so quickly?" Seeing the refugees who were no longer in a mess in the tent, Xiao Yu nodded slightly, and then nodded lightly Enrique, let him come over again.
The founding ancestor of Zhongzheng Kingdom once said that strategically we should despise the enemy, but tactically we must pay attention to the opponent.
Although Xiao Yu always felt that the so-called army of the Lilliputian Kingdom was just a bunch of local chickens and dogs, but to be cautious, he still asked Enrique to ask him clearly.
Sure enough, from the mouth of the former King of Steel City, Xiao Yu learned a lot of information that the seeds of knowledge had not been updated.
The reason why Grand Duke Nayanan dared to rebel and was supported by many aristocratic forces in the kingdom was because the strength of the royal family had seriously declined over the years.
Another reason is that Grand Duke Yanan's grandson became an apprentice of a first-level wizard who practiced in seclusion in the kingdom, and won the favor of that wizard.
With the help of that wizard, Grand Duke Yanan has an air force composed of griffins, thus gaining the upper hand in the battle with the royal army!
"Air Force?" Xiao Yu recalled the memory of this raptor.
This is a common flying monster in Lilliputian. Its body is usually two meters high and three meters long, with its wings spread between five and six meters. After being domesticated by many forces, it became an air assault force.
"A three-centimeter-level griffin...that's a big fly!" Xiao Yu grunted and blinked. ah!"
Xiao Yu comforted Enrique, told him that he would be back soon and don't be afraid, then turned around and retreated to the Canyon of the Gods.
Xiao Yu planned to go back home and go to Lilliputian after preparing for the next situation.
Not long after Xiao Yu left, there was an angry roar from a heavily guarded military camp in the wilderness.
"absurd!"
"Drag out, whip forty!"
In the camp, the bearded knight in plate armor waved his hand, and some soldiers rushed in and dragged out several cavalry who begged for mercy to be tortured.
The bearded knight sat at the head, glanced at the black-robed wizard apprentice beside him, showing a respectful expression: "Young master, it seems that Enrique has received assistance."
"Hmph, general, what rumors about the royal oath do you really believe, that there are sons of gods who will help them restore their country?" The black-robed wizard apprentice sneered: "A giant of a hundred meters? How could such a thing exist! The teacher's book said , the tallest giants are the frost giants in the north, and they are only twenty meters tall!"
"It's human nature to exaggerate if you lose the battle. Although they exaggerated, it is certain that Commander Soma didn't escape." The bearded knight secretly despised the gilded Grand Duke Yanan Shijiazi said flatteringly:
"Although Soma was born as a commoner, his knight-level strength is beyond doubt."
"Well, that's true." The black-robed wizard apprentice nodded slightly, then looked at the bearded knight and said, "The general told me this because he hoped that I would send griffins to join the battle."
"You can't hide it from the young master!" The bearded knight said with an embarrassed expression: "Anrik is the only remaining bloodline of the royal family. As long as he dies, Grand Duke Yanan, ah no, is His Majesty Yanan's royal estate, and he will be the king's son." Really solidified."
"Grandpa's great achievements can be stopped by those stupid guys?" Satisfied with His Majesty Yanan's title, the young master clenched the short stick in his hand and said:
"I will let the griffins get ready, general, you should send troops quickly."
"Honestly, I've had enough of this wilderness!"
"As you wish, young master... oh no, His Royal Highness the little prince of Yanan Kingdom!"
…………
For Enrique and the others who were trapped outside the Canyon of the Gods, the few hours Xiao Yu left was simply mental torment!
They worry about gains and losses. On the one hand, they are worried that Xiao Yu will never return, on the other hand, they are afraid of Xiao Yu's capriciousness, and they are anxious about the future.
Enrique swallowed a small piece of biscuit crumbs lightly, and suddenly a strong fragrance filled his mouth, causing him to secrete a large amount of saliva, which almost flowed out of his mouth.
"As expected of the Son of God in the mouth of our ancestors, the food you can take out at will is no worse than the food prepared by the best chef in the capital."
"Such an adult will definitely not abandon us at will." The followers around Enrique nodded in agreement, staring at the biscuit crumbs piled up on the ground with emotion.
"Your Majesty, there are a total of 125 refugees left. Among them, 75 are young and strong. I have arranged them. If there is a change, I can drive them into battle."
A bald man in leather armor came behind Anrik. He was the only one among these followers who had experience in training the army, so he was assigned this job.
"Oh, I hope they won't be used." Enric sighed, and was about to say something soothing when he suddenly noticed a black line appearing on the horizon ahead.
Accompanied by the increasingly dense black lines, the sound of orderly footsteps and the whistling sound of the air made everyone in the tent fall into deep unease.
"How could it be... so fast!" Enrique widened his eyes and smiled wryly: "Is this the army of Grand Duke Yanan? With such execution power, no wonder, no wonder we lost so badly! So fast!"
