"Everyone, please take a seat."

The mayor of Loess was an elder with a beard that was not yet white, but he had deep wrinkles on his face. He had a kind smile when he spoke, making people feel very close to him.

However, the clothes he wore were too simple. When he saw the guests, he actually wore a simple robe and only had two clogs on his feet. He walked on the marble hall and knocked on the door.

"I wasn't that old."

Mayor Ka opened his mouth, but the smile on his face disappeared a little, "I heard Master Bai say that you are here to help. As the mayor of Carlos city, I am ashamed that I didn't protect my people well. There are only three days left of water and food left in the city. If the Fire Nation were to surround the city like this, the city would soon be conquered. The fall of Carlos means that the Loess Kingdom has opened up a huge gap. This means that the Loess Kingdom isn't far from being defeated. "

The mayor's words were quite concise. He went straight to the point and clearly introduced the situation in Carlos City, allowing everyone to understand that the wrinkles on his face were caused by this.

"How strong is he now?"

Luo Liya held back her joy over the jade and continued to pay attention to the battle.

"When the soldiers of the Fire Blaze Nation first came in, they were not in a good condition. Furthermore, we intentionally ambushed the surrounding poisonous bugs, so they suffered huge losses. We took the opportunity to chase them dozens of kilometers away. However, they learned to set up a strong tent, cleared away all the poisonous bugs, and slowly returned. When Master Bai came in, he heard that they used a strange fire breathing weapon. It should be very powerful. I'm afraid the invasion of Carlos City is only a matter of two days. "

The moment the City Lord opened his mouth to speak of the state of war, there was no longer any warmth on his face, as long as it was filled with pain. Seeing this made Luo Liya's heart ache.

"Who is the enemy general?"

Not only had Luo Liya seen this kind of fire-spitting weapon in the books, but when she was in the role of the Ghost Immortal, she had also created one of these. But the problem was, this thing needed gunpowder. He didn't know if the Loess Kingdom had it. However, this sort of yellow sand dry land did not lack the materials to produce gunpowder.

However, whether the gunpowder could be dealt with or not was of no importance. The reason they were locked up was to capture the enemy general. This way, they could first capture the thief and then disintegrate each other. They might be able to salvage the situation.

"I don't know."

Little White, who had been silent all this time, looked deeply at Luo Liya as if she was his savior.

"This is really a narrow path for enemies."

Wu Kong mumbled, "How about the weapons in our city? Have we tried a sneak attack? "

"All the experts in the city were killed in the ambush."

There weren't many experts in the Country of Loess, and the people here were all fighting for their lives. Last time when we attacked the Kingdom of Hao Jin, many experts died on the battlefield of other countries, so Carlos could only wait for death.

"Tell us about the situation outside."

Luo Liya looked at City Lord Ka in consolation, but she could not promise anything. She could only express her desire to help through actual actions.

With the addition of the firecrackers, they had to find a way to defeat the Fire Nation within three days. Otherwise, there would be no hope for the Country of Loess.

"You guys see sulfur here?" Luo Liya suddenly asked.

"Is it the material for the fire?" "Yes."

Drying grounds had never lacked these things.

"Very good, prepare more." Seeing that everyone was looking at her with a puzzled expression, Luo Liya explained, "This is used to make gunpowder, it is more or less the same as Fire Nation's artillery, it can strengthen Carlos's ability to resist. Also, after midnight, use your arrows to help me shoot these bugs into the enemy camp. And do you know where their water sources are? "

In the desert, the most important thing was the water source. If he could create some trouble with the water source, then everything would be much simpler.

The mayor's eyes lit up. Other than nodding his head repeatedly, he couldn't help but praise, "I didn't think that a little girl like you would have such a good brain. You're actually so well versed in military matters! "Whether it's left or not this time, I'll give you some cloth that's rare in Kacha."

With that, he asked the servant to bring some cloth directly. Furthermore, it was only a few feet long. From the fabric and color, as well as the craftsmanship, Luo Liya clearly understood why City Lord Ka was wearing it so casually.

How much do I want your jade? Luo Liya thought to herself, but it was hard to refuse, so she could only accept the piece of cloth. She did not expect that this miraculous piece of cloth would be of help to her in the future.

"However, other problems can be implemented. There is one water problem which should not be easily solved. We've sent people to poison their water many times, and they've all been killed. Their water source is right in the middle of the military camp, right next to that unknown tent. "

City Lord Ka was very happy that Luo Liya was able to accept his gift, so he went on to talk about the water source.

"It's better not to think about the water source for now. I don't know if I want to use the water source as bait. Their real water source might not be here."

Attacking water sources was something that was common knowledge in desert battles. He was extremely intelligent, so he would definitely not treat water sources as a weak spot, but he could not let the other party see that he did not care about water sources at all. Therefore, he could only announce the location of the water sources.

"Me too."

Lil 'White suddenly said, "That's why I asked Lil Violet to go underground and find the source of the water while we're here."

When Lil 'White left, it said to Lil Violet that it wanted her to pay attention to the water sources along the way. Since Lil Violet could enter the ground at any time to check out the situation, she was able to find the location of the water sources.

But Carlos built the city here because there were no longer any suitable water sources around. Thus, Lil Violet's search might have ended in failure.

"Then we'll do as we said."

Time is an opportunity in war. Seeing that there was no answer to the water question, Luo Liya could only wait for Little Violet, so she first went to make explosives and arrange for poisonous bugs.

Wu Kong followed behind him to help him. Meanwhile, Wei Xi was considering his next plan.

Not long after, the materials needed to make the explosives were all prepared, Luo Liya found an open space and began to develop.

She was not stingy in collecting poisonous insects along the way. Her entire body was covered in powder, and she packed them into hundreds of small bags. She let City Lord Ka send people to seek death soldiers to send these bags into the enemy's camp.

Everything seemed to be done in an orderly fashion. After Lao Tun left, Luo Liya couldn't help but fall asleep among the gunpowder half-finished product.

The next morning, when the sun shone into the powder heap, that black thing looked like it would burn for a while. When City Lord Ka came in, Wukong had already woken up, thinking that he would be happy to see the semi-finished product of Loria's gunpowder.

"City Lord, come this way."

When Wu Kong saw the City Lord rushing towards Luo Liya who was sleeping, he quickly pulled her to the door, "City Lord, let big sister sleep for a while. She hardly slept all night. "

Wu Kong could tell from the City Lord's expression that something had happened.

"What happened?"

"The poisonous bugs, the poisonous bugs, they're all back."

After listening to Luo Liya's plan from yesterday, he thought that the current situation would be slightly better. He never expected that all the death warriors he sent out yesterday would all return today. However, when they left, their corpses were the ones that had returned. When the guards at the city gate saw them, they hurriedly brought the corpses back. However, they did not expect that the poisonous bugs had already crawled out from the bodies and were scattered all over the city.

"The soldiers guarding the city gate have all been poisoned."

City Lord Ka's hair, which was not as white as last night, was already gray today. When Wu Kong heard this, his heart tightened. When he turned around to call for Luo Liya, he saw the astonished face of Luo Liya.

There was a deep sense of remorse on her face. She had been too careless and had completely forgotten about Dong Li Zhen's strength. She had also forgotten how they had failed in the war in the past.

"Hurry up and take me to see what's happening to the people."

The exhausted Luo Liya had no time to regret. She could only hold City Lord Ka's hand and ask him anxiously, the black powder on her face had not dispersed yet.

"I'll take you there."

When City Lord Ka first came in, he wanted to question Luo Liya, but seeing her covered in dust lying in the midst of the gunpowder, how could he have the heart to blame her?

It was also because he was too careless that he didn't tell her more about Fire Nation's situation.

While she was speaking, the mayor had already brought Luo Liya into the city.

The city was very spacious and there weren't many people around, but the streets were very wide. Although there weren't as many shops as River City, there were still some basic clothing stores. It's just that it's a little desolate these days. All the shops are closed.

There was no one in the city.

The old City Lord Ka walked in front. Luo Liya looked at his originally tall and big body, which was slightly hunched because of his old age. His originally spry spirit was filled with sorrow due to the chaos of war, and for some reason, she suddenly thought of her father, Luo Yan. If the Fire Nation defeated the Loess Nation and conscripted troops to suppress the Blue Water Nation, what would the situation be then?

At that time, would his father be like this old city lord, helpless and helpless? Only hair from black to white?

"Elder sister, don't be sad. These people still need your help. "

Just as she was about to fall into a deep self-reproach, Wu Kong walked up to her and comforted her softly.

Loria nodded, knowing that this was not the time to be sad.

However, when she saw the situation before her, Luo Liya's heart skipped a beat.

Because the soldiers of Fire Nation were stronger, Luo Liya chose the Red Centipede that had been tempered by the poison powder. Originally, a simple Red Centipede could only be used against ordinary soldiers, it couldn't be used against soldiers that were over the level of an unspecialized character. Thus, after Luo Liya's tempering, they would also be able to attack the soldiers of the unspecialized.

After passing through the empty alleyway, Luo Liya heard the sound of wailing. Xiao Bai, Gou Xi, as well as some tall and sturdy experts of the Loess Kingdom were confronting the red-headed centipede. Some corpses were lying on the ground in a mess, and some people were trying to persuade those who were lying on top of the corpse to hurry up and leave. However, the women and children did not listen to the advice and ignored the bugs. In the end, they allowed the bugs to attack them, and then they fell to the ground and died.

Wu Kong quickly joined the battle while Luo Liya stood to the side and looked at the bloodthirsty Red Centipedes. Since they were able to survive under the hands of Wei Xi, it meant that they had been tempered before.

Their bodies were larger than when Luo Liya had left them, and their crimson eyes were restless the moment they looked at Luo Liya.

This restlessness was not due to the joy of seeing his master, but from the anger of his enemies.

Luo Liya immediately understood something.

"Wu Kong, Wu Xi, Little White, you two delay them. Give me some time!"

It seemed that not only did the Fire Nation have people who knew how to treat poisonous bugs, but there were also people who knew how to teach poisonous bugs. In such a short amount of time, only one person would be able to make a bug as simple as the Red Centipede to attack an Immortal level individual and make enemies with its owner.

That was her teacher, Lu Qingyi.

After the Red Centipede saw Luo Liya, it desperately crawled over. Wu Kong and the others could only use their true energy to kill all the Red Centipedes. Meanwhile, Luo Liya was trying her best to follow the cure for saving the people of Huang Xiaolong.
