If the Kingdom of Jerusalem's staying aloof was still within the tolerance of Ram I, then Saudi Arabia's direct participation in the war was really the straw that broke the camel's back.

Faced with the messenger sent by Ram I, Saleh bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia directly ordered Ram I to surrender to the Kingdom of Jordan, otherwise he would He personally sent troops to assist the Kingdom of Jordan in launching an attack on the Principality of Lamu.

With the strong advance of the Condor Empire, Saleh now has no intention of protecting the Principality of Ram.

Saleh strongly agreed with Ibn Haidar's purity strategy and believed that there should be no Chinese players in the Middle East.

As a result, the 30,000 Heavenly Wind Knights of the Ram Principality's Heavenly Wind Knights became a thorn in their side.

Saleh believes that these 30,000 Tianfeng Knights can play an unexpectedly important role at critical moments.

If these 30,000 Skywind Knights suddenly launch a backstab against them while they are in full swing against the Eagle Empire in the frontline area, then their backyard is likely to fall into huge chaos.

As the saying goes, before fighting outside, you must first settle inside. In order to prevent backyard fires from happening, they must eliminate all uneasy factors in advance.

So Saleh not only refused to help the Principality of Ram, he also issued an ultimatum to Ram I.

The ultimatum required Ram I to unconditionally surrender to the Kingdom of Jordan within half a month, otherwise the Arab troops stationed near the Principality of Ram would assist the Kingdom of Jordan in launching an attack on it.

Faced with Saleh's half-moon ultimatum, Ram I was completely desperate.

He knew very well that the Principality of Ram could not be a rival to the two superpowers, so for the sake of the people of the principality and his own heirs, he was prepared to accept Salik's request.

When Ram I mentioned this idea to Li Tianqi, he was immediately sternly rejected by Li Tianqi.

As a native of the Arabian Peninsula, Ram I could surrender to the Kingdom of Jordan or the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and then spend the rest of his life as a subjugated king, but Li Tianqi could not.

His identity is too sensitive, and neither the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia nor the Kingdom of Jordan can truly accept him and his Knights of the Sky Wind.

Not to mention these countries in the Middle East, even the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which has always been at odds with the countries in the Middle East, cannot accept them.

If Ram I chooses to surrender unconditionally, the Tianfeng Knights composed of Chinese players will be ruthlessly slaughtered.

Because at such a tense moment, it is impossible for these countries that have suffered huge losses at the hands of the Condor Empire to allow them to continue to exist on the Arabian Peninsula.

If it were in the past, Li Tianqi would probably choose to break up, and he would have his own reasons to keep him here.

But now they have settled down in the Principality of Lamu. Many members of the Tianfeng Knights have started their own families here, and some of the guys who have obtained Longzidan have even given birth to children here.

Now they are tightly tied to the Principality of Ram, and they cannot leave just because they want to.

As a player who has been a horse thief for a long time, Li Tianqi knows better than anyone how vicious the players' methods of revenge are.

Even if they choose to leave, their family members who remain in the Principality of Lamu will not be able to escape the revenge of some Middle Eastern players.

When Li Tianqi thought of the vicious faces of those Middle Eastern players, Li Tianqi knew that this matter could not be solved at all.

For the sake of their families in the Principality of Ram, they must never let Ram I surrender to the other side, and they must fight the enemy to the end.

So when King Ram I mentioned to Li Tianqi that he wanted to surrender to the Kingdom of Jordan, Li Tianqi immediately expressed strong opposition.

Looking at the puzzled Ram I, Li Tianqi immediately stated to him the various disadvantages of surrender.

Ram I also knew that after surrender,

My good days are definitely coming to an end.

Once he surrenders, he will probably spend the rest of his life in a dark castle.

But what can we do if we don’t surrender?

They are no match for the two neighboring kingdoms!

Surrender immediately, and these people can still have a way to survive.

If they resist to the end, then when the enemy becomes angry, it is estimated that a large number of people will be directly executed, and others will be demoted as slaves.

When Ram I told Li Tianqi his worries, Li Tianqi immediately said that he had a way to help the Principality of Ram get through this difficulty, but the premise was that Ram I must delegate power to him and let him have full authority to handle this crisis. crisis.

After listening to Li Tianqi's suggestion, Ram I was silent for a long time.

In the end, he chose to believe the son-in-law in front of him, because he himself was not willing to become a subjugated king or even a prisoner.

After receiving comprehensive authorization from King Ram I, Li Tianqi ordered people to build fortifications to prepare for the enemy, and at the same time ordered people to clean up the residences near the port, and then built a large military camp directly on the land near the port.

...

After the game time for the day was over, Li Tianqi hurriedly contacted Ning Yuan as soon as he finished the game.

When Ning Yuan heard the name Li Tianqi, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately remembered the guy who he always wanted to get rid of.

After so many years, Ning Yuan only knew that Li Tianqi led the remnants of the Tianfeng Alliance to become horse thieves in Central Asia, and later worked as a mercenary for small countries in the Middle East. He did not know too detailed information.

So this time Li Tianqi suddenly contacted him, Ning Yuan was a little surprised.

...

In a luxurious private room, Li Tianqi and Ning Yuan sat opposite each other.

After a few simple greetings, Li Tianqi immediately got straight to the point: "Brother Ning Yuan, I came to you this time mainly because I want to ask you for help..."

With that said, Li Tianqi introduced the details of the Lamu Principality to Ning Yuan.

After listening to Li Tianqi's introduction, Ning Yuan immediately sensed a hint of a fighter, so he asked expressionlessly: "Brother Tianqi, do you want me to send a naval fleet to rescue the Lamu Principality from the sea?"

"That's right, Brother Ningyuan, our Principality of Lamu is willing to immediately become a vassal state of the Condor Empire, so please ask Brother Ningyuan to lend a helping hand for the sake of us all being Chinese players."

In order to make Ning Yuan submit, Li Tianqi threw out his chips first.

After hearing the bargaining chip given by Li Tianqi, Ning Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Tianqi, if I tell you the truth, don't mind it too much. What qualifications does a small Lamu Principality have to become a vassal state of our Condor Empire?

It’s not that we look down on people, it’s that you are a typical example of a mother who has breasts!

Now you need our help, so you came to us in a hurry. What have you been doing so far?

If we are closer, for the sake of all of us being Chinese players, I can still help you.

But the current situation is that your so-called Ram Principality is too far away from the homeland of our Condor Empire!

Just in the name of a vassal state like yours, I am going to send troops to go on an expedition at great risk?

This would be too difficult for me. After all, I have to be responsible for the soldiers under my command.

Brother Tianqi, if it is as you said, Jordanian players and Saudi players are determined to eliminate you this time, then this war will probably be quite tragic, and this is without the intervention of external forces. under circumstances.

Under the current situation, if the troops of our Condor Empire intervene in the war in the Arabian Peninsula, not only the Jordanian and Saudi players will react violently, but I am afraid that the guy sitting in the holy city of Jerusalem will also be very nervous.

When we want to save you, we will not only have to face players from Jordan and Saudi Arabia, but also probably those crazy crusaders in blue, and even the descendants of that guy in the Sinai Peninsula. It will also target us.

Once the situation develops to this point, the expeditionary force we send will need to face the siege of four powerful local countries at the same time.

If it were you, would you take huge risks and go on an expedition for the sake of a small principality that is beyond your reach? "

After saying that, Ning Yuan looked at Li Tianqi with a smile. The meaning was obvious, that is, I am not very satisfied with the conditions you offered. You have to continue to increase the amount, otherwise we will not be able to continue the negotiation.

After hearing the implication of Ning Yuan's words, Li Tianqi immediately asked: "Brother Ning Yuan, do you know the ancient city of Petra?"

"I know, I still have a blueprint for building the ancient city of Petra in my hand.

After repairing it, the crop yield in all desert areas in the territory will increase by 100%, right? "

Ning Yuan didn't know why Li Tianqi suddenly mentioned the ancient city of Petra, but he still told the information he had.

After listening to Ning Yuan's introduction, Li Tianqi shook his head slightly, and then said with a smile: "Brother Ning Yuan, you are such a noble person who forgets things. What you just talked about was the attributes of the Petra Temple, and I was talking about the properties of Petra Temple." There are obvious differences between the two."

"Oh? There is such a saying! I wonder if Brother Tianqi can help me clear up my doubts?"

After hearing Li Tianqi's answer, Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became very interested, because he liked this type of miraculous building the best.

Seeing that his words had successfully aroused Ning Yuan's interest, Li Tianqi did not show off and explained directly with a smile: "Brother Ning Yuan, there are many drawings of the Petra Temple in the game, and their attributes are exactly the same. It is to increase the yield of crops in the desert.

The ancient city of Petra I mentioned is indeed unique in the game. You can think of it as the only natural wonder.

By the way, Brother Ningyuan, judging from your expression, you don’t know that the ancient city of Petra is located in Jordan! "

Seeing that Ning Yuan was listening with great interest, Li Tianqi suddenly thought of something.

"I do not know!"

As expected by Li Tianqi, Ning Yuan shook his head in confusion.

“The ancient city of Petra is just like the Great Wall of our country, they are natural wonders with a fixed location and uniqueness.

Brother Ning Yuan, think about it carefully, are the properties of the Great Wall built using the Great Wall blueprints and the real Great Wall the same? "

Seeing the doubts on Ning Yuan's face, Li Tianqi thought for a while and gave him an example from the Great Wall.

Hearing Li Tianqi mention the Great Wall, Ning Yuan suddenly realized that there was an essential difference between the original Great Wall and the Great Wall he built around the Great Condor.

After suddenly enlightening, Ning Yuan suddenly became more interested in the ancient city of Petra mentioned by Li Tianqi, so he motioned for Li Tianqi to continue.

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea to moisten the mulberry seeds, Li Tianqi continued: "Brother Ningyuan, the real ancient city of Petra has always existed, and its location is within the territory of our Principality of Lamu.

Compared with the Petra Temple built using blueprints, the attributes of the ancient city of Petra are more powerful.

The Temple of Petra can only act on a desert, increasing the crop yield in the desert by 100%.

This attribute seems awesome, but in fact it is very useless, because there is very little land in the desert that can grow crops, and the yield is also very low.

The real ancient city of Petra is different.

The real ancient city of Petra has three attributes.

The first attribute is to increase the yield of crops grown in all desert areas by 500%.

The second attribute is that it can protect crops grown in desert areas from various natural disasters and pests and diseases.

The third attribute is that it can breed a plant that greens the desert - Shalihong.

This plant can grow anywhere in the desert. Because its roots can reach hundreds of meters deep underground, it can grow normally even on the driest sand dunes.

When the rhizome of Shalihong absorbs water from deep underground, it will also slowly improve the surrounding land, allowing the constantly flowing yellow sand to gradually settle.

In addition to being able to subtly green the desert, Salihong is also an important food crop.

The fruit of Shalihong is about the size of an egg. After peeling off the outer hard shell, the pulp inside is not only tender and juicy, rich in nutrients, but also has a strong feeling of satiety. You only need to eat three or four to be full. It is a delicious fruit. A hydrating delicacy perfect for eating in the desert.

More importantly, the fruit of Salihong can be stored for a long time. As long as the outer hard shell is not broken, it will not go bad even if it is stored for two or three years. Moreover, Salihong can also be benefited from the increase in production of the ancient city of Petra. become.

Brother Ning Yuan, think about how big the desert area is in this world.

If Shalihong could be grown in all deserts, wouldn't you have an endless supply of military rations?

Moreover, this kind of military food has the dual functions of replenishing water and replenishing energy. Don’t you really want to have it?

Even if you don’t want to have it now, can you really watch your opponent have it?

You must know that the entire Middle East has a huge area of ​​​​desert. If those countries in the Middle East really own it, it is likely to affect the subsequent strategic layout of your Condor Empire. "

After saying that, Li Tianqi looked at Ning Yuan with a smile.
