Chapter 1272: The Drums of the Expedition Sound
Hearing the sound of the drum, Yang Teng didn't have any special reaction, he just felt that the drum was very loud, and it was estimated that the entire Mochizuki Liufeng could hear it, so something big must have happened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zheng Kun and Zheng Yuanlong couldn't sit still, they stood up at the same time, didn't even say hello, and quickly rushed out of the living room.
Yang Teng was surprised by the actions of the two, what happened to make the two of them so panicked, followed closely behind the two, and also walked out of the living room.
"Knock, knock, knock!" The drums grew louder and louder, with a clear sense of rhythm.
Zheng Kun looked solemn and listened to the rhythm of the drums.
Zheng Yuanlong's expression was serious, and he was still muttering something in his mouth to the rhythm of the drums.
Yang Teng paused slightly, and Zheng Yuanlong was counting the rhythm of the drums.
After the drum ended, Yang Teng was about to ask Zheng Kun what had happened.
Then the second drum sounded.
"Knock, knock, knock!" The loud drum sound echoed in the sky above Mochizuki Liufeng, and there seemed to be a kind of magic in the drum.
Yang Teng felt that the blood in his body was boiling with the sound of drums, and in an instant, his whole body was filled with a kind of fighting spirit!
To Yang Teng's surprise, several subordinates in his house, as well as the children sent by the Zheng family to learn alchemy, all put down what they were doing when they heard the sound of drums, walked out, and looked at the most central direction of Mochizuki Liufeng with a solemn expression.
The second drum stopped, and there was a gap between them, and soon the third beat sounded again.
This time, Yang Teng counted carefully, and there were twenty-one drums in total.
At the end of the three-way drum, Zheng Kun said solemnly: "The drum of the expedition sounds, and the three-way will be assembled an hour later." Follow me back at once and get ready to go. ”
"The Zheng family is slow. Yang Teng hurriedly stopped Zheng Kun, "What the hell is going on." ”
Zheng Kun looked very anxious, "This is the drum of the expedition sounded by the city lord, after the three-way drum is over, immediately go on the expedition, no one shall delay, if there is a violation, after the end of the war, the monks who did not participate in the expedition will be beheaded to show the public!"
"Yang Shao, I don't have time to say more, I want to go back and gather the children of the family quickly, and I will talk about other things later. Zheng Kun dropped a sentence and flew out of the house.
Zheng Yuanlong did the same, and smiled apologetically at Yang Teng: "Yang Shao, let's talk about it in detail after the war is over." ”
Yang Teng didn't understand what was going on, and watched Zheng Kun and Zheng Yuanlong leave stupidly.
Just as he was about to call the children of the Zheng family who were studying alchemy to come over and ask what was going on, the gopher hurriedly returned from outside.
"Yang Shao, did you hear the drum of the expedition just now? ”
"I heard it, what the hell is going on, how can I be confused. Yang Teng asked.
"That's right, the expedition drum is a rule set by Lord Mochizuki Ryu Kaede Castle, and it is divided into several specifications. The expedition drum just now is twenty-one, which is the highest specification of the expedition drum of Mochizuki Liufeng. After hearing the drums, they must be assembled within an hour. It is required that the monks who live in Mochizuki Liufeng must participate in the expedition as long as their cultivation is at the level of the Juyuan period. The gopher explained simply.
"So, I'm going to participate too?" Yang Teng asked.
"That's right, whether it's a person or not, as long as you're in Mochizuki when the drum sounds, you must participate in the expedition. The gopher affirmed.
Yang Teng was not in a hurry, Zheng Kun had time to return to the Zheng family to gather his children, and he had enough time to ask about the situation.
"Gopher, the city lord is beating the drum of the expedition, what is it for, who are you going to recruit?" Yang Teng didn't want to work for the city lord in a daze.
"This is going to be from the specifications of the marching drum. For example, today's twenty-one rings represent that there is a strong enemy invading Mochizuki Liufeng, and it is necessary to gather the strength of the entire Mochizuki Liufeng to fight it, so the city lord will sound the twenty-one drums to go out. If it is to conquer other forces, the lord will make a decision based on the strength of the other party. Generally speaking, only when it comes to the survival of Mochizuki Liukaede, the castle lord will gather the power of the entire Mochizuki Liukaede. ”
The gopher was afraid that Yang Teng would not understand, so he explained in detail: "If it is because of the private affairs of the City Lord, the Drum of the Expedition is the lowest level, and we will not be recruited, and the people who will go out will be the power of the City Lord's Mansion." If it is to exterminate the beast clan, depending on the situation, the lord of the castle will make a decision. ”
"For a drum with the highest specification like today, I analyze two possibilities. First, a strong enemy is attacking, and it is necessary to gather the strength of the entire Mochizuki Liufeng to fight. Another reason could be an orc invasion. Orc invasion is the most likely. ”
Listening to the gopher's words, Yang Teng was even more surprised, "You mean that there is an invasion of the beast clan?
This is hard to imagine in the Tianwu Continent, only in the barren mountains and remote wilderness, can you see the beast clan group, human monks occupy most of the territory, it is impossible for such a thing to happen.
The orcs attacked the human gathering place, which was simply looking for death.
Even if it is a momentary success, it will eventually attract the wrath of the human monks and slaughter the entire beast race.
Therefore, the Tianwu Continent is the territory of human monks, and the beast clan can only survive in the cracks of human monks.
The gopher said with a bitter face: "Yang Shao, you don't know, it's not just around the Moon Liufeng, it's the entire Silver Moon Continent. Let's put it this way, the land of the Silver Moon Continent is at most half occupied by human monks, and the other half is in the hands of the beasts. The sky is mostly occupied by orcs. And the ocean is basically the world of aquatic beasts. ”
After hearing this news, Yang Teng gasped, he didn't expect the living environment of the Silver Moon Continent to be so difficult.
"Yang Shao, hurry up and gather people to prepare for the expedition, in case you delay the city lord's expedition, you can't afford it." The gopher urged.
Yang Teng also understood that such a major event must not be delayed, he did not have the strength to fight against the City Lord.
Besides, he is now living in Mochizuki Liufeng, and he also has the responsibility to contribute.
Only Yang Xin's cultivation on Yang Teng's side has not reached the Juyuan period, and as for a few subordinates and the seven children of the Zheng family, their cultivation is even lower, so they don't have to follow them to the expedition.
Yang Teng gathered several people together and briefly explained the situation.
"Since Mochizuki Liufeng has such a rule, we can't go inside and out, so we will go with me immediately. Yang Teng commanded.
Lao Sloppy and Zhu Jin were somewhat reluctant, they were from Tianwu, and they didn't have any feelings for Mochizuki Liufeng, and they didn't feel it was worth it to fight against the beast clan for Mochizuki Liufeng.
Shen Yun didn't have anything to say, what Yang Teng wanted to do, of course she was fully supportive, only Yang Xin insisted on going with Yang Teng.
Yang Teng asked the drill gopher, "It doesn't matter if the cultivation is low." ”
The gopher said worriedly: "According to the requirements of the expedition drum, all monks who have reached the Juyuan stage must participate, but there is no restriction on the lower limit of cultivation. However, Miss Xin'er's cultivation is low, and I'm afraid she will have to worry more about safety. ”
Yang Xin has been immersed in the study of seal drawing runes all day long, and his energy invested in cultivation is limited, and he has not been able to improve his cultivation to the Juyuan stage so far.
"That's good, as long as there is no minimum, don't worry about the safety of Xin'er. Yang Teng was very relieved of Yang Xin's ability.
Using various runes as a means of combat, some monks in the Juyuan period were not Yang Xin's opponents.
Gopher and ghost spirits also wanted to participate in the expedition, and Yang Teng instructed the seven disciples to stay in the mansion to guard the gate and not to walk around.
Then he left the house with the group and went out into the street.
At this time, the doors of the other houses were also wide open, and the monks came out of the doors one by one.
It looked a little messy, but Yang Teng took a closer look, but it wasn't actually messy at all.
There was someone on the street to maintain order and shout, "Hurry up, gather here! Don't be slow, you're afraid of death! If the orcs come in, don't think about it, only by guarding Mochizuki and defeating the orcs can you live a stable life." ”
Following the guidance of these monks who maintained order, Yang Teng led a few people to quickly run forward along the street.
Walking down the street, the monks converged into a fast-moving stream of people.
"Hurry up! If you can't get to the place within the specified time, don't think about it!" a strong man with a big axe in his hand stood on a building facing the street, shouting loudly.
Seeing the big axe, Yang Teng couldn't help but think of Ximenye, and he didn't know what the situation of Tianwu was at this time.
The team moved quickly and orderly towards the nearest outer city.
Soon I came to the dirty and messy outer city, and the tense atmosphere made people ignore the environment and smells here.
"Isn't it often that happens. Yang Teng asked the drill gopher in a low voice.
The gopher shook his head and said, "It's not a regular occurrence, an expedition of this scale like today is rare in a hundred years." ”
Yang Teng pouted, it was rare in a hundred years, and it sounded like it would only happen once in a long time.
In fact, the life of a monk is very long, as long as the cultivation reaches the realm of the Juyuan period, he will encounter many beast invasions in his life.
It's no wonder that the outer city of Mochizuki Liufeng is so bad, the beasts will invade once in a hundred years or so, and if they build too good buildings, they will also be destroyed in battle.
However, what Yang Teng didn't expect was that before the beast clan appeared, the outer city began to act.
Led by several city lords' palace guards, some monks began to bulldoze the buildings in the outer city.
"Hurry up! We must bulldoze this place before the orcs arrive! We must not leave an obstacle for the orcs to hide!"
It was so easy for the monks to demolish these dilapidated buildings, and with a single slap, a large area of open space would be cleared, and then several people would work together to control the dust, and there would be no dust in the process of demolishing the buildings.
"Yang Shao, you don't know, sometimes the beasts invade, and there are some smaller beasts in the herd, and they will use buildings as cover to sneak attack in the dark. The gopher explained.
Yang Teng didn't know anything about the orc invasion, and could only get more information from the drill gopher.
"Keep up, come over here!" the City Lord's Mansion guards who led the team greeted loudly, letting Yang Teng's team continue to move forward through the messy buildings.
The gopher's face changed, "No, this guy sent us to the front, everyone must be careful, we are very likely to rush to the front and fight the orcs." ”
