Witch Wind

Chapter 230: The Huge Trap (Part )

Lilia City, everything is calm.

Inside and outside the palace, there were flowers and brocade, and fires were burning.

Ogugo and Dixi were like evil ghosts crawling out of hell. After showing up at the first day's welcome banquet, they spent the whole day hanging out in the bedroom. In Lilia City, many wealthy families who wanted to get close to the rich or to protect their lives and property offered their most beautiful girls.

Yiduoli is a place of culture and elegance. The daughters of the rich families are all very charming and beautiful. Moreover, they have been pampered and have never touched water since childhood, and their skin is as white and tender as little suckling pigs.

Ogugo and Di Xi were partying in their room every night, and within three to five days, the number of rich daughters coming in and out of their room had exceeded two hundred. Xing Tianli was horrified. Even if these two guys had the strength of celestial beings, weren't they afraid of being drained dry and dying on the spot?
What shocked Xing Tianli even more was that when these girls came out of their rooms, they were staggering, but there were actually new lives growing in their bodies!
Just by having a single sexual encounter, Ogugo and Dixi made them pregnant?
These two guys, it seems like they came to this world just to eat, drink, have fun, and spread seeds, right?

The efforts of these wealthy daughters were also worthwhile - the Yingji people arranged a standard infantry battalion to guard their family mansions, and mixed in the battalion was a team of twelve Yingji warriors who had undergone genetic ascension!

The families behind them also obtained special licenses issued by the British government, which gave them the privilege of raising military funds and supplies and monopolizing some special businesses during wartime.

This special license is enough for these families to make a fortune from this war, and even spread the family influence from Lilia City directly to the entire Yidoli, and even the southern region of the Western Continent.

As for the two girls, Oguli and Dimir, they were just like country bumpkins coming to the city.

They dressed up beautifully all day long, and surrounded by a group of wealthy ladies and noblemen, they traveled around the city of Lilia and enjoyed the wealth and prosperity of this world to their heart's content.

I won’t talk about other things. Just talking about the past few days, all the high-end tailor shops in the city of Lilia have received huge orders. Dozens of top private custom tailor shops have been working at full capacity day and night to sew all kinds of luxurious clothing for the two women. The total number of orders exceeds 10,000 pieces!

Such a huge amount of clothing is just a small gift from those wealthy ladies to flatter them.

In addition, there are various jewels, perfumes, cosmetics, puppets, precious bags, and all kinds of odds and ends that little women like, all of which are glittering with jewels, gold-inlaid and jade-inlaid goodies. The total number exceeds 100,000 pieces and has filled all the rooms of the two large mansions.

As for the extravagant cocktail parties and lavish banquets, they never stopped from morning to night!

Xing Tianli also truly witnessed the extreme luxury, extravagance, romance and debauchery in the bones of the Idoli people. He saw with his own eyes that in order to entertain Oguli and Dimir, the ladies of Lilia City directly invited three thousand handsome men and beautiful women to sing and dance at a banquet, and even used airships to sprinkle dozens of tons of fresh flower petals from the sky!

That scene...

Even Xing Tianli, who can now "create" all kinds of gold, silver, and rare gems without limit, feels that this is too exaggerated and too wasteful.

Such wealth and splendor is just an appearance.

Behind the scenes, the Spark of Civilization Committee and the Pantheon were frantically investigating the assassination of Ogulier. Many pure-blooded aliens came to Lilia City one after another. Many of them made Xing Tianli feel uneasy and his nerves were tense day and night.

The unfortunate Ogutungu, after a thorough analysis of his memories, was finally proven innocent - it was indeed not him who assassinated Ogulir.

But Xing Tianli committed the crime in his face after all, so Ogutungu was also accused of a false crime by a member of the Supreme Council who came and was directly sent to the front line to fight.

This day.

Xing Tianli was standing on the terrace of the palace and saw giant rockets rising into the sky from the mountains to the north.

The long tail pierced the sky.

The aliens launched satellites into the sky, and a wisp of Xing Tianli's spiritual power quietly extended over there. He "saw with his own eyes" that in the air hundreds of miles above the ground, satellites the size of water tanks and with strange shapes slowly unfolded their energy plates, and their huge, crystal-clear lenses quietly locked onto the earth.

In the analysis of Xing Tianli's spiritual power, the entire Western Continent, including the land territory of the Yidoli Kingdom, was cut into standard observation surfaces by thousands of satellites in the sky.

The satellites of these alien races are extremely accurate, so accurate that even Xing Tianli finds it incredible.

He sneaked into the alien's combat command room built in the mountain and saw with his own eyes the surveillance images sent back by the satellites. On the huge surveillance screen, he saw an ant, originally the size of a millet grain, under a grass leaf. It was magnified to the size of a fist, and even the hair on the ant's body was clearly visible.

He also saw that in the east, northeast and east of the Western Continent, the Saint Ross army was advancing like a tide. The terrifying steel torrent shattered all obstacles along the way. Even if the ordinary countries in the Western Continent gathered a huge army of millions of people, they could not delay the attack of the Saint Ross people at all.

Wherever the wild beasts of Saint Ross passed, cities were destroyed and houses were burned. Men either joined the Saint Ross army and became vassal soldiers, or were killed on the spot - all those who were captured were treated the same way, either joining the Saint Ross army or being killed.

As for women...in the war, in those occupied countries, one can imagine how women were treated.

The torrent of steel headed westward, while huge convoys filled with spoils, gold, silver, jewelry, handsome men and beautiful women, kept returning eastward.

There were also a large number of Saint Ross slaves who built super-large factories in places suitable for factory construction with incredible efficiency. They used all kinds of giant machines with strange shapes, and all the materials used were modular components shipped from Saint Ross. A large factory, the fastest one, even started production in just ten days.

Those factories frantically devoured various ore raw materials, and then produced a large number of steel chariots on the spot and directly joined the attack on the front.

The army of the Saint Ross people is like an avalanche, the more they fight, the bigger they get!
In the central part of the Kingdom of Idoli, the city of Saint Yutu is a major strategic location.

Another avatar of Xing Tianli, a celestial ghost commander who disguised himself as the 'Prince of Blood Crow', served as the supreme commander of the main army of the Black Crow Empire. He personally took charge of the front line and besieged the city of Saint Yutu.

As an old and powerful country in the West, the people of the Kingdom of Idoli are arrogant and extravagant. In addition to the old rentier nobles who parasitize on the kingdom and suck blood to enrich themselves, the emerging powerful class is also mainly engaged in finance, trade, and art. The entire Kingdom of Idoli, the city of Saint Yutu, and the surrounding Yutu Basin are the only heavy industrial areas.

All the weapons of the Yidoli Kingdom Army come from here.

Taking over the city of Saint Yutu would mean cutting off the supply of weapons to the Yidoli Kingdom’s army. It wouldn’t take long before the Yidoli soldiers would no longer have a single bullet in their gun chambers or a single shell in their gun barrels!
The Yidoli people were naturally well-defended for such an important town, especially after the war broke out. They immediately recruited hundreds of thousands of militiamen, led by a royal prince. Relying on the weapons produced in the military factory, they quickly armed themselves, built defense lines, and trained soldiers. It was still two hundred miles away from the city of Saint Yutu.

In the endless olive grove, in the luxurious farm, dozens of long-eared hounds roamed back and forth leisurely, and a large group of Black Crow Empire soldiers marched in neat steps, patrolling around the farm. Further away, a large group of Empire Army soldiers were following a large convoy, rumbling towards the central area of ​​the Yutu Basin in the south.

Inside the farm, the Blood Crow Prince, who had received instructions from Xing Tianli, sat on the soft sofa with his legs crossed, holding up a wine glass, facing the sun, admiring two olives soaked in the wine, floating up and down.

Prince Atofan, who was appointed by King Idoli himself to coordinate and command the defense of Saint Yutu City, was wearing an ordinary civilian outfit, sitting opposite Prince Blood Crow with his legs crossed in the same comfortable manner.

In the middle of the two of them, there was a strong man with typical Saint Ross appearance, his skin had a faint metallic cold glow, two blood-red electronic lights flashed rapidly in his eyes, and he was nearly eight feet tall. He sat steadily on the sofa, holding a 1.5-liter bottle of liquor and drinking it in big gulps very comfortably.

Prince Atuofang took a sip of the wine and said calmly, "So, the international situation is so complicated. In order to prevent the people of Saint Yutu from becoming victims of the war, and to prevent the countless people of the Yidoli Kingdom from becoming cannon fodder... I decided to join the Black Crow Empire after careful consideration."

"Not only me, but also the six generals, twenty-three lieutenant generals, seventy-eight major generals, and all the middle and lower-level officers of my legion, all agree with my proposal - as long as the respected Majesty Black Crow is willing to agree to our insignificant little requests, we, as well as our 120,000 regular kingdom troops and 850,000 militiamen, will join the Imperial Army and fight for the glory of His Majesty Black Crow!"

Prince Blood Crow nodded: "Your conditions are not conditions. We will respect your private property, your current official positions, and the status and privileges you currently enjoy."

"Except for you, Prince Atuofang, no one can be promoted in terms of title... There is no other way. After all, you are already a prince, and it is impossible to promote you to a higher title... And the titles of the generals under your command will all be raised by one level."

Prince Atuofang spread his hands, sighed, and shook his head with great satisfaction, pretending to be regretful: "Well, if those young men don't die in vain, what does it matter if I sacrifice a little bit of my own interests?"

Prince Blood Crow smiled and gently shook his glass: "Of course, we won't let you pay for nothing. From Saint Yutu City and Saint Xilan City, you can take 30% of all the wealth you can seize. This is a reward from our Majesty."

Prince Atofan's face suddenly turned red, his nostrils dilated with excitement, and he gasped for breath.

The city of Saint Yutu is the only heavy industrial town in the Kingdom of Yidoli. The wealth here, converted into gold coins, is worth billions... and the city of Saint Silan is the capital of the kingdom. Countless dignitaries live there. Can the wealth there be equal to ten or twenty cities of Saint Yutu?
After plundering the two cities, even if it was only 30% of the wealth, Prince Atuofang would dare to say that he would be the richest prince in the entire Western Continent, except for Prince Blood Crow!
The two men reached a tacit understanding, and Prince Blood Crow clapped his hands. Several clerks ran in and drafted a formal contract document according to the agreement reached by the two men.

Prince Atofan stood up, holding a glass of wine, and ran to the clerks to instruct them on the details of the provisions.

Prince Blood Crow looked at the Saint Ross strongman sitting beside him. The strong man, whose face was red from drinking, grinned strangely: "So, Your Highness, are you interested in cooperating with our Saint Ross Empire? Is this the instruction of your Black Crow Majesty?"

The sturdy man shook his head and sighed, "How shameless! This is something you people from Falus can do - haha, sign an agreement, and then stab your ally in the back!"

Prince Atofan, who was standing far away and drinking, coughed and almost choked to death on the wine.

He looked back at Prince Blood Crow with resentment, then at the unidentified Saint Ross strongman. After a moment of silence, Prince Atofang smiled - to backstab an ally, the person backstabbing is also a country... But he, Atofang, is different. He is a minister who took the initiative to serve. He is a minister, the most loyal minister of His Majesty Black Crow!

Your Majesty Black Crow, Prince Blood Crow, there is absolutely no reason for you to stab me in the back!
Only the Kingdom of Ingis and the Kingdom of Saint Norman are worthy of the efforts of His Majesty the Black Crow and the respected Prince Blood Crow, isn't it?

Prince Atuofang quickly figured out the problem. He turned around calmly, raised his voice slightly, and said with a smile: "No need for 30%. I only want 20% of all the floating wealth seized from Saint Yutu and Saint Xilan... The extra 10% is a proof of friendship between me and His Highness Blood Crow!"

Prince Blood Crow raised his head, glanced at Prince Atuofang, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine in one gulp: "Stop talking nonsense. You Saint Ross people are not qualified to comment on what we are going to do... In short, there will be a war between us in the future. When two powerful empires collide, you don't want someone to covet your power behind the scenes, right?"

"For example, we fight to a loss, and then the Ingish and Saint Normans suddenly jump out to grab the fruits of victory!" Prince Blood Crow smiled brightly: "You don't want this to happen, do you?"

The Saint Rose sturdy man rubbed his smooth scalp vigorously. He said in a deep voice: "You guys who like to play tricks... Your ideas are really a headache... But it seems to make sense... So, let's join forces first?"

"Let's join forces first!" Prince Blood Crow smiled calmly: "You, me, and Prince Atuofang, we can put on a good show here in Saint Yutu City and bleed them!"

In Lilia City, Xing Tianli showed a subtle smile.

The smile on Prince Blood Crow's face was exactly the same as Xing Tianli's, with no difference at all.

Three days later, the defense battle of Saint Yutu City officially began - under the command of Prince Blood Crow of the Black Crow Empire, millions of imperial troops pressed forward from the northwest, north and northeast.

For a long time, Prince Atofan, who was known as the most romantic and talented man in the kingdom and was said to have three hundred noble ladies as his lovers, was well-known in the Idoli Kingdom for his expertise in eating, drinking and having fun. However, at the beginning of this defense war, he suddenly showed a command ability that shocked the world!

For many years, they were accustomed to surrendering without firing a shot. Their overall combat effectiveness was the last among the many powerful countries in the Western Continent. They even had an overseas colony with an elite army of 200,000 fully armed soldiers, which was defeated and fled by 8,000 natives armed with spears and bows. However, under the command of Prince Atuofang, they actually annihilated tens of thousands of vanguard troops of the Black Crow Empire in the initial contact war.

On this day, Prince Atofan concentrated his superior forces and wiped out an imperial division that underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly.

On another day, Prince Atuofang led three elite troops to raid an imperial army field headquarters with great efficiency, and then stabbed two imperial divisions in the back that rushed to the rescue. In this battle, a general chief of staff from Yingji was beaten to pieces by 300 stray bullets.

The next day, Prince Atoufang sent a large elite force to defend a high ground, attracting a large group of imperial troops to besiege. Afterwards, he used the tactics of attacking from both sides and the center to inflict heavy damage on the imperial army again. After three days of fierce fighting, he annihilated five fully staffed imperial divisions. In this battle, twelve general-level staff officers of Yingji were beaten to pieces by an average of 500 stray bullets.

Another day, Prince Atofan used his familiarity with the geographical terrain to set up an ambush around a small basin. After the large Imperial Army force entered the small basin, he blew up the dams of two nearby rivers. The flood swept in and quickly submerged the entire basin. The Imperial Army suffered heavy losses again, and nine general-level chiefs of staff from Yingji were shot to pieces by two thousand stray bullets in the chaos.

When the news of the battle spread, the Western Continent was shaken.

Our Black Crow Majesty lost his composure in public in Lilia City, and in front of countless dignitaries, he shouted "Prince Blood Crow is a pig".

The Kingdom of Yidoli seemed to have received a shot of adrenaline. From top to bottom, countless people frantically promoted Prince Atuofang as a rare god of war in the Western Continent, a military genius whose brilliance was overshadowed by his past prosperity.

His Majesty Black Crow issued an order in Lilia City, and the main force of the Imperial Army surrounded Saint Yutu City from all sides and marched straight to the city of Saint Yutu. The slogan they shouted was that even if they had to raze Saint Yutu City to the ground, they would wash away the previous humiliation with blood.
