142: Interpreting the prophecy! The water bag is empty!
Though morale wasn't completely lost, it was certainly low.
Extremely fatigued, the crowd moved slowly towards the Royal City, their eyes vacant, and other than the clanking of armor, there was only silence.
Meanwhile, Wu Tian walked behind the group, carrying his greatsword and acting as a rearguard, all while deep in thought.
As he walked towards the Royal City of Atlantis, Wu Tian's mind raced.
Ever since the prophetic vision on the parchment scroll subtly changed once, there had been no further movement for the past month.
Nor had any other changes occurred!
But this time, in a moment of absentmindedness, he clearly saw it again in his mind, and he even discovered some other details within it!
However, these details made Wu Tian's brow furrow even deeper.
He didn't understand!
Wu Tian shook his head, forcing himself to sort through these details one by one!
First point.
Although the number of skeletons in the vision was impressive, it was clearly much less than the previous three thousand.
And the weapons of these skeletons were stained with blood!
It seemed the prophetic vision must have appeared after this battle.
Moreover!
A light flickered in Wu Tian's eyes.
By comparing it with the approximate remaining number of the skeleton legion now, the time of the prophecy's arrival could be estimated!
But... the place in the prophetic vision was clearly the Royal City of the Mayans!
How did they get there?
By what means?
Wu Tian was completely baffled!
Second!
George did not appear in the prophetic vision, and considering that George had already been torn apart by the Mayans, his disappearance was indeed very reasonable.
But!
Why were there no Atlantis warriors found during the siege either?
Hiss!
Suddenly, Wu Tian's heart trembled!
Could it be... Wu Tian slowly raised his head, an expression of disbelief on his face, and looked at the Atlantis warriors gradually moving away in the distance.
Would these Atlantis warriors also be wiped out?
“This...”
“That can’t be, can it?”
“...”
Wu Tian's mouth twitched.
A chilling sensation instantly surged into his heart!
“Phew...”
Wu Tian let out a breath, after making an effort to suppress this uneasy feeling.
He then thought of another key figure.
In the prophetic vision, Wu Tian was always accompanied by Fatty and Zhang Meng, and this had never changed.
But... what about Kevin, who fought alongside them?
Why didn't Kevin's figure appear in the prophetic vision either?
Could it be... that Kevin also died in the war?
This... that would be too outrageous!
No!
Wu Tian frowned and quickly approached Kevin, Fatty, and Zhang Meng, who were leading the troops at the very front.
He had a hunch.
This detail in the prophecy... might very well come true!
...A few minutes later, Wu Tian caught up with the main force ahead, and amidst the puzzled looks of Kevin and the other two.
Wu Tian stood beside them and whispered.
“Kevin...”
“You might be gone!”
“...”
Pfft!
Kevin, who was drinking water, immediately spat it out!
Then he quickly wiped his mouth.
He turned his head and looked at Wu Tian with a resentful expression, saying with a look of utter despair.
“I say...”
“Your Majesty!”
“Although people will eventually return to dust and become part of nature!”
“But!”
Kevin said helplessly.
“I, Kevin, am still in the prime of my life, please don’t curse me, okay?”
“...”
Wu Tian was stunned.
He stroked his chin, feeling that his sudden remark just now seemed... a bit too abrupt.
And to tell someone to their face that they would most likely die soon!
This... it really seemed a bit impolite, didn't it?
After some thought, Wu Tian decided to wait until Fatty and Zhang Meng were alone before sharing his speculation.
Then he chuckled at Kevin.
Changing the subject, he said.
“Hahaha...”
“I thought the atmosphere was a bit heavy, just a joke, just a joke.”
“Let’s all have some fun!”
“Haha...”
Kevin: “...” “Your Majesty...”
“How can you joke like that?”
“You...”
“Huh?”
Wu Tian was momentarily stunned, then he laughed awkwardly.
“What joke, what was that!”
“Cough cough...”
“How many soldiers do you have left? Do we have enough supplies on the city wall?”
“Did you find that magical plant I asked you to look for?”
...Kevin was stunned.
Then he sighed softly, and after giving Wu Tian a helpless look.
He seriously answered the questions the latter had asked.
“I just roughly estimated the battle losses.”
“My cavalry and archers, because they fought from a distance, still have seventy percent left!”
“But the cavalry...”
Kevin’s expression darkened as he spoke.
“They were almost completely annihilated when they charged against the Mayans’ wolf cavalry. Now...”
“Less than ten percent!”
“Hmm...”
Wu Tian nodded.
He sighed softly.
“Then... let the remaining wolves leave. For the upcoming siege and street battles, they won’t be of much use!”
“Give them...”
“A way to live!”
“...Alright!”
Kevin nodded, looking at Wu Tian with admiration.
“...”
“What about supplies?”
Wu Tian continued to ask.
“How are the preparations? Are all the things I told you to stockpile in large quantities in place?”
“Uh...”
Kevin was taken aback, then after a quick calculation in his head, he nodded at Wu Tian and said.
“There’s enough of everything!”
“I also collected a lot of the thing you asked me to collect, but...”
Kevin glanced at Wu Tian.
“What’s that thing for?”
“What’s it for?”
“Heh heh...”
Wu Tian gave a cold laugh.
“That thing has a great many uses. You’ll understand when the Mayans attack the city later.”
“This, ah...”
Wu Tian’s lips curved into a chilling smile.
“Is the surprise I prepared for the Mayans!”
“...”
“Alright...”
Kevin nodded.
Wu Tian’s strategies were evident to everyone.
This time, with merely five thousand men, he directly repelled thirty thousand Mayans, and even made the Mayans leave behind nearly ten thousand corpses!
That was enough to prove everything!
Smiling with reassurance.
Kevin picked up his waterskin again and put it to his lips, preparing to take a sip.
“Hmm?”
No water came out?
Kevin tilted his head back again and patted the waterskin.
“Gurgle...”
The waterskin shook, but still not a single drop of water flowed out.
“This...”
The latter was stunned.
Then he looked at Wu Tian somewhat dejectedly.
But... seeing the innocent and questioning look in Wu Tian’s eyes, Kevin slowly sighed again, silently tied the waterskin to his waist, and said weakly to Wu Tian and the Atlantis warriors behind him.
“Everyone, give me your empty waterskins. If I can’t carry them all, a few more people come out and help carry them.”
“Let’s go fetch some water together.”
“Once the battle starts later...”
“There won’t be time to drink water!”
“...”
