Chapter 261 Frontier Victory
Since the intrusion reminder appeared on the brand of the rejecter, the next ten days were very calm, and the month also entered the "red lotus" season from the "fog and rain" season, and the weather gradually became hotter.

Kino is a person who loves winter and hates summer. He likes dead leaves and snow, but hates the sun and sweat, so he has been staying in the office during this time, and put many "cold crystals" in the refrigerator.

Cold crystals, like salt crystals, are unique substances in this world. The difference is that the latter is a military product, and the former is a general civilian product.

Cold crystal is an extremely low temperature crystal, which is refined by alchemists in the laboratory, and its existence state is very stable, its volatilization speed is slow, and its cooling effect is dozens of times that of ice cubes of water.

The price of cold crystal is quite affordable, it only costs 5 copper moons per catty, and it can be used for 7 or 8 days in a refrigerator. It can keep the room temperature at about 24 degrees.

Another interesting point is that cold crystals can not only be used as volatile refrigerants, but they are also non-toxic and can be taken internally—of course, only for dragon knights with dragon blood.

If ordinary people eat a cold crystal, their internal organs will freeze and die immediately.

But the dragon knights of the Regnome family often take cold crystals to lower the temperature of the dragon blood in their bodies. They like to eat a few cold crystals in the coldest "winter" season, especially in the red lotus season. said.

In the past few days in Twilight City, Lorna has turned into an ice-making machine without emotion. I get a handful of ice crystals for meals, a handful of ice crystals for drinking water, and a handful of ice crystals when I’m in a good mood. The cold crystal inventory in the mansion is empty.

Fortunately, the treasurer made Liszt Hedge temporarily refine a batch from the laboratory, so there was no cold crystal crisis.

On the 10th of Honglian, there was a torrential rain in Mucheng City. The high temperature dropped for several days, and the outdoor temperature temporarily returned to around 26 degrees. Coupled with the heavy rain washing away the dust, the air was very fresh, and Chino finally came out of the office.

During this period of time, there were no traces of reincarnation activities, at least not near Twilight City, and all detection methods failed to detect the enemy.

I don't know if this group of reincarnators didn't turn on the reincarnation disguise at all, or they arranged something secretly, and no one knew about it.

Kino has no clue now, he can only maintain the normal operation of various detection methods, and wait for the inadvertently exposed flaws of the reincarnation.

After Chino went out, he didn't go to Alia's dessert shop. This was a consensus reached between him and himself - during the reincarnation invasion, he would not visit those acquaintances who had no self-protection ability, in case the reincarnation lurking in the dark Peeping, causing these people to be implicated.

While Chino was taking a walk in the garden, the post boy ran across the street outside the government mansion, shouting: "The Daily Chronicle! The Daily Chronicle! Prince Bolton defeated the main force of the horse bandits , the desert forces were defeated!!! Do you really not want a share of such exciting news?!"

Attracted by the postboy, many passing civilians flocked to buy newspapers, and Chino also went out to buy a copy.

The postboy's newspapers were snapped up, and he left happily holding a big bag full of iron moons.

Kino took the "Daily Records", sat down on a bench in the garden, and began to read.

"Daily Chronicle" is the official orthodox newspaper of Dogrand, led by members of the royal family, and the content is uniformly compiled and reviewed. It records the kingdom's political affairs, war dynamics, etc. It is also one of the main channels for the people to understand the world situation. authoritative.

All kinds of news in newspapers are arranged according to their importance. The closer to the front page and the larger the section, the more important it is.

Like the killing of Leiyun City administrator Irene Troy last year, although it was posted on the front page, it only took up half the size of a palm.

But today, the front page of "Daily Journal" was completely occupied by a piece of news--Bolton Van Dogorand, the "seventh prince" of Dogorand, led an army to defeat the main force of the horse bandits on an expedition to the desert.

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

On the 512th day of God's Blessing in the year 12 of the "Fire Calendar", the forces of the desert broke through Xilin Town on the border of the kingdom, and carried out a brutal massacre of the people of Dogolande, resulting in the death of 1783 townspeople and countless injuries. sea ​​of ​​flames.

The battle report spread to Wangcheng, and the royal family was extremely angry about it. In order to let the dead rest in peace, His Majesty the King and the head of the army personally took the lead in launching a counterattack plan.

On the 513th day of Dilu in the year 4 of the "Fire Calendar", after the new year, the seventh prince, Bolton Van Dogorand, was entrusted by His Majesty the King to lead the kingdom's 44 main armies, with a total of 37 people leaving the customs in "Flying Kite Province". Among them, there are countless extraordinary people from the royal family and royal family, and they launched a crusade against the desert forces. The code name of the war is "Blood Sand".

On the 25th of the same year, the vanguard of the kingdom had its first confrontation with the enemy. Due to unfamiliarity with the battlefield environment, the vanguard suffered a certain degree of loss.

However, in the arduous tug-of-war, Prince Bolton occupied the oasis at every step, and repeatedly attacked and broke through the desert supply line. After 96 days of long and fierce battles, he finally completed a major detour on Honglian 1st and completely surrounded the main force of the desert.

Since then, the two sides have started a decisive battle that lasted five days and five nights. The warriors of the kingdom fought bloody battles, and they were all proud of their sacrifices.

On the 6th of Honglian, under the wise leadership of Prince Bolton, the main force of the kingdom invaded the hinterland of the desert. The enemy was defeated and fled in all directions!
According to the post-war statistics of the Blood Sand Battle, the Royal Army killed 49172 people, injured 119271 people, and killed more than 12 desert horse bandits, and the prisoners are still being counted.

This battle is the best consolation for the dead in Xilin Town. Let us pay tribute to the Laurel Flower, the Royal Family, and all the warriors who participated in this battle!
Most importantly, salute to the great Prince Bolton!

Glory to the sun!

After reading the report, Kino finally understood why the desert forces had been slow to move when it was troublesome to find blood thorns a while ago - they were in a decisive battle with Prince Bolton at that time.

The "Blood Sand Battle" must have been a secret crusade. Kino had not been notified to assist Bolton, and Bolton's army did not pass through the Beacon Fire Province, but the Flying Kite Province in the south.

Just from the level of secrecy, it is enough to see how powerful Bolton's army commanding ability is. The 44 main armies and 37 people's large-scale operation did not leak any news, so that the administrator of the main city at the level of Chino I have never heard of it, and the details of the battle were not known to the outside world until the royal family took the initiative to disclose the news in "Daily Jiwen".

Chino continued to read the "Daily Chronicle". Almost all the news today revolved around Bolton, but the descriptions were all in an official tone and very general.

This is not surprising, the royal family launched such a huge war against the desert, it must not be as simple as the newspapers clearly recorded.

The power of the kingdom is intricate. How many families and powerful interests are involved behind a war, what kind of intrigues, open and secret fights, and even whether the purpose of the war is to "let the dead rest in peace" are impossible to write for the common people.
