Chapter 1703

~5 min read 967 words

"You didn't say what kind of city you were looking for."

The scarred man spoke with some fear.

He was afraid of being silenced; after all, he didn't have the answer the other party wanted to know.

But this couldn't be blamed on him; the region here is just like this.

Before, they only said to bring them to the nearest city, and didn't say anything else.

He didn't dare to ask more; who knew what these Qin people wanted to do.

Now that they have arrived at this city, they say they want to find a place to stay.

And they want to find a city with stone walls.

If they had said so earlier, he could have taken them to some good places to stay.

But now it's almost dark, and it's too late to find other places.

Thinking about spending the night in these places, the scarred man wanted to cry.

He had finally escaped from this terrifying place.

Now he has turned around and returned here.

It really is fate playing tricks on people.

Han Xin wished he could slap the scarred man to death.

He thought all the cities in the Jizi Kingdom had stone walls.

Who knew this city was just a wooden wall.

This left him quite speechless.

One could still go into a stone city to hide.

But can one hide in this wooden city?

Didn't you see that some of the city walls were destroyed?

It shows that these city walls are not sturdy or safe.

Hiding in this city will sooner or later lead to trouble.

The others were also dumbfounded.

This city cannot be used as a foothold.

But it's almost dark now.

What can they do?

Are they going to have a big fight with the infected in the suburbs at night?

Without obstacles to help, it's very difficult to fight the infected.

Death or infection is a foregone conclusion.

"This was truly unexpected."

General Meng Tian Tian and the others also sighed.

They never expected that this small border city of the Jizi Kingdom would be a wooden city.

If they had asked, it wouldn't have ended up like this.

Now they can neither leave nor stay.

They couldn't make up their minds for a moment.

At this time, everyone looked at the Crown Prince.

I wonder if His Highness will have a good method?

"Are there any mountains or rivers nearby?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't want to enter the city.

Entering the city at this time is really not suitable.

After all, these city walls don't have much use.

And there must be many infected hiding in this city.

Don't look at how quiet it is now; it will probably be lively here at night.

After all, there are many places in the city to hide from the sun, so there must be many infected hidden there.

He didn't want the Great Qin soldiers to be attacked as soon as they entered the city.

"Answering the lord, there are no mountains around this city."

"However, there is a river not far away."

"It's just that this river isn't very large, but it's enough for drinking water."

Seeing the young lord speak, the scarred man's expression became even more respectful.

He only knew that looking for mountains might be for defense like before in the canyon.

But he didn't know what they were looking for river water for.

Could it be that they wanted to drink water?

After all, with hundreds of thousands of people, the daily consumption is a terrifying number.

He had to sigh at Great Qin's strength; it was truly too strong.

And from everything heard along the way, one could guess.

This army of over three hundred thousand is not all of Great Qin's military strength.

Compared to them, the Jizi Kingdom is much worse.

Their army, if everyone is added together, might not even have three hundred thousand soldiers.

It can be seen that this Great Qin is a terrifying country.

He even had the urge to defect to Great Qin, but he didn't know if they wanted him.

There really is a river?

Upon hearing this, Ying Ying Zi Ye immediately perked up.

Originally looking at this boundless plain, he was also somewhat powerless.

He had originally thought of finding a mountain, or even a steep one would do.

Using a big mountain as a reliance, at least this way they wouldn't have to be attacked from all sides.

But now, the mountain wasn't found, but he did ask about river water.

It's fine to have water without mountains.

"Tell me about the terrain of the river and where it is."

Ying Ying Zi Ye needed to understand the geographical environment and terrain of the river.

The others were confused; why are they suddenly looking for river water?

But they wouldn't easily disturb His Highness.

The scarred man was also confused, but he still honestly introduced it.

A river is not straight up and down, but winding and tortuous.

This is a natural river, not a canal, so it won't be very straight.

Listening to the explanation, Ying Ying Zi Ye's tightly furrowed brows also relaxed.

And the direction of this river is toward the direction of the next city.

The journey takes about an hour.

"Alright, lead the way!"

"This place cannot be lived in."

"Let's spend the night by the river tonight."

Ying Ying Zi Ye issued the order.

General Meng Tian Tian and the others were confused.

Is it that sudden?

Spend the night by the river?

What is His Highness thinking?

"Your Highness, is this... really okay?"

Han Xin asked in disbelief.

He couldn't figure out why they had to go to the river to stay.

Is the riverside better than this city?
