It started with clay figurines.

Then he turned into a ghost again.

What remains unchanged is the number that is coming in like a tsunami.

The battle at Tiemenguan was so brutal that it was unimaginable.

Although Zamplin had already replaced the war puppets on the front line in time, the manufacturing, maintenance, upkeep, and transportation of the war puppets...

All of this requires spending astronomical amounts of money, food, minerals, and medicine.

What's more, she also had to prepare a team of wizards who could control the war puppet army at any time.

This team of wizards also costs a lot of money to support.

In short, the Tumo Empire is now losing a mountain of food and wages every day.

Countless herdsmen had their last livestock robbed, large numbers of serfs had their last bite of food taken away, and countless miners died in the mines...

Even so, the income still could not cover the expenses, and they had to plunder, levy levies, and increase salaries everywhere.

This will naturally provoke fierce resistance.

Many serfs could no longer bear the increasingly severe exploitation and rose up in rebellion.

And those already ambitious feudal lords began to pretend to obey but actually disobey.

In order to suppress the rebellious serfs and the unruly feudal lords, Zamplin had to further intensify his exploitation. As a result, the Tumo Empire was naturally in turmoil.

Zanpulin always felt that if things continued like this, in a few years, the Tumo Empire would be finished without even waiting for the Tang army to take action.

Under such a tight financial situation, she naturally needed to increase trade with the outside world to ease the economic pressure on the Tumo Empire.

Coincidentally, within the territory of the Tumu Empire, there happened to be a Salt Road connecting Central Asia and West Asia, running parallel to the Silk Road.

Whatever the reason, Central Asia and West Asia don't produce much salt these days.

One of the important sources of salt in these areas was the Tumu Empire on the plateau.

Merchants from the plateau would come to Tocharistan, Transoxiana, Khorasan and other places, walking thousands of miles through mountains and crossing the dangerous Pamir Plateau to transport precious salt.

Along this salt road, the Tumu Empire also sold armor to the Arassa Empire, and their spices could be sold all the way to faraway Europe.

Although Big and Small Boli had been controlled by the Anxi Army, due to the policy of clearing the countryside, the Anxi Army did not seem to have stationed many troops there.

Therefore, Zamplin organized a caravan, under the flag of other countries, and went to Central Asia and West Asia to trade along the Salt Road.

But she didn't expect that the business traveler she sent out would bring back such bad news.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The businessmen cried.

"The Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty intercepted our team."

"Almost everyone was killed. The musk, salt, and armor we were transporting were all stolen by the Tang army!"

"If I hadn't run fast, I would have been torn to pieces by those Tang army ghosts."

"Ugh..." Zamplin only felt her temples throbbing wildly, and a pain like a needle pricking her seemed to spread along her forehead to her internal organs.

That was a huge caravan loaded with goods.

She was counting on this caravan to return as soon as possible after trading with the Alassar Empire—

If you don't come back, the soldiers on the front line will have no food to eat.

Can……

"How could the Anxi army appear in the river?" Zanpulin rubbed his eyes.

Aren’t the main forces of the Tang army in the Western Regions, rushing to attack the Kunlun Iron Gate Pass?

He also ordered Beiting and Goluolu not to fight with the ghosts of the Anxi army.

How did the Anxi Army, which was unable to massacre the living, extend its hands to the Central Asian region?

Could it be that the ghosts of the Anxi Army can split into two groups?

No, according to the news from Kunlun Iron Gate Pass, most of those undead can only live for a few days, which is not enough time for them to reach the river.

So, it is more likely that there is a traitor.

Zamplin gritted his teeth.

The Anxi Army was separated from the river by the Tianshan Mountains, which was like a natural moat.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the Tang army to cross over.

Unless there is a traitor leading the way and offering a sacrifice along the way.

"Damn it!!" Zamplin's eyes flashed red, and the businessman lying on the ground was immediately cut into pieces by invisible knives.

In the blink of an eye, he turned into a pile of pulp.

"Damn it!" Zamplin waved his hand and swept all the snacks, tea, and valuable antiques on the table to the ground.

Since the ghosts of the Tang army have already reached the river, the Goluolu near Suiye City are probably finished.

As for the Great Shaman and the Holy Wolf Warriors, if the Tang army offered sufficiently favorable conditions, they would tacitly allow the Tang army to occupy Hezhong.

This means that the west of the Tumo Empire is no longer safe.

"Damn traitor!!"

"Don't let Ruo know who you are!?"

"Otherwise, I will tear your tendons apart, peel off your skin, and grind your bones into ashes!!"

Zamplin cursed under his breath.

At this point, she had no other choice but to curse a few times to satisfy her urge to do so.

"Ah sneeze!"

Biebuya Rii sneezed.

"Distinguished guest."

The girl sitting next to Bebuyari, who was wearing gold and silver jewelry, gorgeous clothes, and had a sparkling ruby ​​hanging on her forehead, spoke softly.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Lord Devapolona, ​​I'm fine." Biebuyari rubbed her nose.

"Maybe he's not used to the climate here."

After all, Biebuyari is from the plateau and is used to the climate there. It is normal for her body to not adapt when she suddenly comes to a place thousands of meters above the sea.

But she is a wizard after all, and she will be able to adjust quickly.

"Since the distinguished guest is in good health." A hint of cunning appeared in the corners of the girl's eyes.

"Then let's continue."

She clapped her hands, and the cheerful music sounded again in the banquet hall.

The dancers sang and danced to the music, and the waiters served the guests with carefully prepared delicacies.

It was a joyful scene of singing and dancing.

Although the Tumu Empire invaded India, it is hard to say whether they continued to covet India.

Therefore, there may be a conflict of interests between the Tumu Empire and Devabarona, who is now the king of northern India.

But Devavarana was not stupid.

It is always better to have a powerful friend in the north than a powerful enemy.

Therefore, she warmly entertained Bebuya Rii, who had escaped from the river and across the Imperial Cemetery, and entertained her for several days.

Halfway through the joyful banquet, Devapolona put down the wine glass in her hand and spoke with a smile.

"Distinguished guest."

"The Tumo Empire has always been our friend."

"I'm happy to help my friend."

"I heard that the Tang invaders are wreaking havoc across the vast land, killing countless lives."

"It would be unbecoming if you didn't help your friend when he's in trouble."

"I have decided to personally lead the army to help your country eliminate the Tang invaders!"

"Huh?" Biebuya Rii, who was still dizzy just now, was suddenly awakened.

That really works better than any medicine.

Chapter 199 - Tianzhu Girl

This guy!

After thinking about it, Biebuya Liyi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The military assistance that Devavarona mentioned certainly could not mean sending a small army to the plateau for a show.

He must be leading an extremely large army.

Didn’t you hear what she said? Is she going to lead the army in person?

But Devavarana would definitely not lead a large army to the plateau.

Not to mention that the Indian soldiers could not adapt to the plateau climate, even if the Tumu Empire was about to be attacked by the Tang army to its capital, it would be impossible for these Indians to send troops -

That is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house.

Therefore, there was only one direction for Devavarana to send troops.

The Sistan region, northwest of India, is just south of Khorasan.

It is obvious that Devabarona wanted to take advantage of the situation and expand his power while the Tumu Empire was unable to take care of itself.

Biebuyari had to admit that Devapolona chose a good time and had enough courage and ambition.

Because according to the news, Hezhong has become the territory of the Anxi Army.

Khorasan may also fall into the hands of the Tang army.

According to common sense.

Next up is the Khorasan Legion of the Alaska Empire and the Anxi Army of the Tang Empire, who is the boss in Central Asia?

Continue to have in-depth exchanges on physics and finally reach a consensus.

In the end, no matter who wins or loses, the other party will be seriously damaged.

If you don’t pick peaches now, when will you?

Biebuyari seemed to hear the sound of Devapolona calculating furiously in her mind.

The abacus beads were about to fall on her face.

But the problem is——

The current Tang army has nothing to do with common sense.

So Biebuya Rie immediately spoke out to stop it.

"Devapolona, ​​I am grateful for everything you have done for the empire as a friend."

"But the strength of the Anxi Army is definitely beyond your imagination."

It's really not that Biya Liyi is slandering Deva Polona.

The soldiers under the command of this Indian king were far inferior to those of the Tumu Empire, let alone the Tang army.

Do you think you are getting a bargain?

No, you are giving yourself away.

What’s even more terrifying is that the population in Tianzhu is extremely dense.

If Devavarona led the Tang army to the Tianzhu region—

Done!
