Since the brand of the refuser appeared to indicate the invasion, the next ten days were calm, and the month also entered the "red lotus" season from the "fog and rain" season, and the weather began to slowly become hot.

Chino is a person who likes winter and hates summer, he likes dead leaves and snow, and hates sun and sweat, so he has been staying in the office during this time, and there are many "cold crystals" in the refrigerator box.

Cold crystal, like salt crystal, is a unique substance in this world, the difference is that the latter is a military controlled product, and the former is a general civilian product.

Cold crystal is an extremely low temperature crystal, refined by alchemists in the laboratory, and the state of existence is very stable, the evaporation rate is slow, and the refrigeration effect is dozens of times that of ice cubes.

The price of cold crystal is quite affordable, only 5 copper moons per catty, and it can be used for 7 or 8 days in a refrigeration box, even in a spacious place like the office of the Xing government residence, it can keep the room temperature at about 24 degrees in the hot red lotus season.

It's also interesting to note that Cold Crystal can not only be used as a volatile refrigerant, but it's also non-toxic and can be taken internally - of course, only for Dragon Knights with dragon blood.

If an ordinary person eats a cold crystal, he will immediately freeze and die.

However, the dragon knights of the Regnome family often take cold crystals to lower the temperature of the dragon's blood in their bodies, and they like to swallow a few cold crystals during the coldest "winter" season, let alone the red lotus season.

In the past few days in Twilight City, Lorna has turned into an emotionless ice machine, eating with a handful of cold crystals, drinking water with a handful of cold crystals, a handful of cold crystals when she is in a good mood, and a handful of cold crystals when she is in a bad mood, almost emptying the inventory of cold crystals in the government mansion.

Fortunately, the financial department made Liszt Hitch temporarily refine a batch from the laboratory, so that the cold crystal crisis was not rectified.

On the 10th of Red Lotus, there was a torrential rain in Twilight City, the high temperature dropped for several days, and the outdoor temperature temporarily returned to about 26 degrees, coupled with the heavy rain washing the dust, the air was very fresh, and Chino finally came out of the office.

During this time, there was no sign of reincarnation activity, at least not in the vicinity of Twilight City, and no enemy was detected by any means of detection.

I don't know if these reincarnators didn't open the reincarnation disguise at all, or if they secretly arranged something and didn't know it.

Chino has no clue now, so he can only maintain the normal operation of various detection methods and wait for the flaws that the reincarnator inadvertently reveals.

After Chino went out, he didn't go to Arya's dessert shop, which was the consensus he reached in his heart - during the reincarnation invasion, he would not visit those acquaintances who did not have the ability to protect themselves, so as not to be spied on by the reincarnation people lurking in the shadows, so that these people would be implicated.

As Chino was walking in the garden, the postboy ran through the street outside the executive residence, shouting, "The Daily Chronicle!" "Daily Chronicle"! Prince Bolton defeated the main force of the horse bandits, and the desert forces were crushed!! Such exciting big news, don't you really want to have a copy?! ”

Many civilians in the past were attracted by the post boy and went to buy newspapers, and Chino also went out to buy one.

The mail boy's newspaper was sold out, and he departed with a large bag full of Tie Yue.

Chino took the Daily Chronicle, sat down on a bench in the garden, and began to flip through it.

"Daily Chronicle" is the official orthodox newspaper of Doguland, led by members of the royal family, the content is compiled and reviewed in a unified manner, recording the political affairs of the kingdom, the dynamics of wars, etc., and it is also one of the main channels for the people to understand the world situation, which is very authoritative.

The various types of news in the newspaper are arranged in a constant position according to their importance, and the closer to the front page and the larger the plate, the more important it is.

For example, the killing of Irene Troy, the administrator of Thundercloud City, last year, although it was on the front page, only occupied half a palm-sized place.

And today, the front page of the "Daily Chronicle" is completely occupied by one piece of news - Bolton Van Dogoland, the "Seven Princes" of Doguland, went on an expedition to the desert and led the army to defeat the main force of the horse bandits.

An overview of the war was also recorded in the newspapers:

On the 12th day of the 512th year of the "Fire Calendar", the desert forces broke through the town of Shilin on the border of the kingdom and carried out a brutal massacre of the people of Dogulland, resulting in the death of 1,783 townspeople and countless wounded, and the town of Shilin turned into a sea of fire.

When the news of the battle reached the royal city, the royal family was extremely furious, and in order to let the deceased rest in peace, His Majesty the king and the commander of the general army personally took the lead and started a counterattack plan.

On the 4th day of the "Fire Calendar" 513 year, after the New Year, the seventh prince Bolton Van Dogoland was entrusted by His Majesty the King to lead 44 main army of the kingdom, with a total of 370,000 people in the "Flying Kite Province".

On the 25th of the same year, the Kingdom's vanguard troops had their first confrontation with the enemy, and due to their unfamiliarity with the battlefield environment, the vanguard troops suffered a certain degree of losses.

But in the arduous tug-of-war, Prince Bolton occupied the oasis step by step, repeatedly attacked and broke through the desert supply line, and after a long battle of 96 days, he finally completed a great detour on the 1st of Red Lotus and completely surrounded the main force of the desert.

Since then, the two sides have begun a decisive battle that lasted for five days and five nights, and the warriors of the kingdom fought bloodily, all of them proud of their sacrifices, and fought to the death of countless people.

On the 6th of Red Lotus, under the wise leadership of Prince Bolton, the main force of the kingdom attacked the hinterland of the desert, and the enemy was crushed and scattered!

According to the statistics after the Battle of Blood Sand, the Kingdom Army killed 49,172 people, wounded 119271 people, killed more than 120,000 desert horse bandits, and the prisoners are still being counted.

This battle is the best consolation for the deceased in Shilin Town, let us pay tribute to the laurel flower, to the royal family, and to all the warriors who participated in this battle!

And most importantly, to the great Prince Bolton!

Return to the sun!

...

After reading the report, Chino finally knew why the desert forces were slow to act when they were in trouble with the Blood Thorn some time ago - they were in a decisive battle with Prince Bolton.

The Battle of Bloodsand must have been a secret crusade, and Chino was not notified to assist Bolton, and Bolton's legion did not pass through the Beacon Province, but exited the southern province of Flying Kites.

From the degree of secrecy alone, it is enough to see how powerful Boton's ability to command the army is, 44 main army corps, 370,000 people, and the big operation did not leak any news, so that the main city administrator of Chino's level did not hear of it, until the royal family took the initiative to disclose the news in the "Daily Chronicle", and the details of the operation were not known to the outside world.

Chino continued to flip through the "Daily Chronicle", almost all the news today revolved around Burton, but the description was more official and very general.

It is not surprising that the royal family launched such a huge war against the desert is certainly not as simple as the newspapers record on the surface.

The power of the kingdom is intricate, how many families and powerful interests are involved behind a war, what intrigues and intrigues there are, and even whether the purpose of the war is to "let the deceased rest in peace", these are impossible to write for the common people.
