Surand Island, Bambokshire, on a hill outside the town of Merlin

Ji Ya kept swinging her big sword to attack Lin Yue, Lin Yue calmly responded, and almost didn't change her position before taking Ji Ya's sword shadow attacking from all directions.

As the sun set, the afterglow of dusk sprinkled on the ground, Lin Yue shook off Ji Ya with a sword and said, "It's okay, let's stop here today." Ji Ya also silently put away the sword, then walked to the side and pulled up a rope, and on the other side of the rope tied hundreds of catties of firewood to the town little by little.

It has been more than a month since Lin Yue's master and apprentice came to this town, and during this time, Lin Yue inquired about Ji Ya's hometown while teaching the three disciples. And the three disciples also insisted on working in addition to studying, which made Lin Yue can't help but think of the days when his master was bored and took him and his senior sister to whisper together, but unfortunately it was no longer a thing.

In this month, Hao Le and Ziyun bought a carriage to pull goods, and traveled throughout Bambok County, earning living expenses as a traveling merchant, as for the goods, in addition to the furs that Ji Ya usually hunted, there was also the salt that Lin Yue conjured with a little stone into alchemy, there are some rock salts on the mountains outside the town, which are bitter and astringent and difficult to refine for the people here, but for Lin Yue, the salt and stones will be separated.

Ji Ya is not as talented as Haole in business, nor as good as Ziyun's experience in traveling the rivers and lakes, as a beautiful girl who feels like she is in a different place in her hometown, Ji Ya is not far from Lin Yue, but just chops wood and hunts in the mountains, so as to hone herself and earn living expenses.

Back in the town, Lin Yue and Ji Ya came to the stone furnace tavern where the men in the town gathered, they would no longer be watched by the people in the town as they had been when they first came after living for a month, and some of them got along well with Lin Yue.

The owner of the tavern is a white-bearded uncle who has a lot of money, and Ji Ya's firewood is also handed over to him, after settling the account, the whitebeard boss puts a large glass of fruit wine and a small plate of fried green beans on the bar: "Here you go, it's an uncle's invitation." ”

Lin Yue naturally doesn't have such a good popularity, the uncle invited Ji Ya, Lin Yue glanced at the guests in the tavern: "There are a lot more people with weapons these days." ”

Uncle Whitebeard sighed, "Isn't it, the orcs are coming again." ”

Lin Yue ordered a glass of wine: "Really, isn't it fake?

Whitebeard sighed and said, "Where can there be a fake, I heard that scattered orcs have appeared in the northeast bay, and these mercenaries are all from this bounty." ”

Lin Yue naturally knew what the so-called orcs were, and he had already learned in the tyrant Republic that many ethnic groups, including the Moon Wolf Clan, were the products of the original high civilization. These so-called orcs are also super soldiers formed by humans combining the flesh and blood of beasts or monsters, they have a longer lifespan, a stronger body, and a better ability to reproduce, the only drawback is that the rationality of the brain will be destroyed, and it will become monsters that only obey instincts.

As for the orc invasion, just like the invasion of the demon clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they will come every once in a while, because the territory of the dog country where they are located is limited, and their reproductive ability is strong, so every few days, when the population reaches the red line, they will think of going south to Suran Island or north to the Sea of the Two Moons, attacking the human towns there.

Of course, they don't have the technology to build big ships, they can only come to the Sea of the Two Moons and Sulan Island by relying on the flow of the ocean in a fixed month, although they have lost a lot on the sea, but they have successfully reached a lot, they themselves are very strong, with the help of the ocean current to the south, they can log in the water for two or three days at most.

The general time is in the current season, but the time between them is uncertain, although the kobolds in the dog Republic have no wisdom, but after so many years of drifting, they also probably know some of the laws of ocean flow, although there are sporadic kobolds drifting over every day, but what really makes the humans here afraid is the large-scale orc landings that come every few years.

Because of this, the northeastern part of Suran Island, which was originally relatively fertile, is rarely inhabited, but a few garrisons have been established on the mountain wall of Futa Beach to garrison lookout troops all year round. According to the information transmitted from the local area, the number of sporadic orcs eliminated recently has increased a lot compared with previous years, and according to past experience, this year should be the precursor to a wave of large-scale landings, and it is estimated that it will be within half a month.

Therefore, in addition to issuing military orders to the lords of Suran Island, the royal capital of Suran Island also summoned soldiers and mercenaries to the people to garrison Phota Beach, and the location of Bambok County is in the north-central part of Suran Island, which is not far from the front line, so many soldiers who come to support will be supplied here.

For the big war that everyone is afraid of, Lin Yue doesn't care, the kobold is just a rough beast to him, and it is not even as strong as the little monster he faced when he fought against the demons in the northern Xinjiang, whether it was when he crossed the sea or landed collectively, Lin Yue was sure that he would destroy thousands of kobolds.

The white-bearded boss didn't know Lin Yue's ability, and persuaded him: "It's very chaotic outside these days, tell your students not to run around, I'll talk to the sheriff in the town when I go back, and let them help transport some supplies, although they don't make much money by selling salt, it's safer after all." What he said was naturally Ziyun and Haole, who were running a business, but Lin Yue was not worried about the two of them, even so, he thanked the boss for his kindness.

......

Outside the Heavenly Side City, the Golden Light Array has been arranged, but there is no order from the 'leader' Tong Tong, the Butterfly Valley Gate has not yet launched an attack, and the Demon Cloud Sea who has been handling military affairs in the capital has also arrived, and after dealing with military affairs, he immediately rushed over, and the support army of the imperial court is still on the way.

After listening to everyone's reports on the situation in the past few days, Mo Yunhai learned that there were dead people on both sides, and immediately knew that the matter was unsolvable, and he asked, "Where is Senior Sister Tongtong?"

As a senior brother with a high status, Iron Hammer ...... That is, Murong Hexuan opened his mouth and said: "Back to the second uncle, the third uncle has said that there is something to deal with since we arrived here, and he also told her not to conflict with Yushan before she comes back." ”

As soon as Mo Yunhai frowned, he knew that things were not simple: "Okay, how are the Golden Light Array and the Tenth Senior Sister preparing?"

"Everything is ready, Senior Kang and Senior Brother Li are protecting the Dharma for the Tenth Senior Uncle, and the Sixth Senior Uncle is presiding over the Golden Light Array. "Sixth Uncle naturally refers to the Butterfly Valley Sword Immortal Song Lingzi.

Just as he was about to ask about the battle the day before yesterday, a herald suddenly brought a flying arrow with a letter, and the sea of magic clouds opened it and looked at it, and his expression changed.

Dou Heng seemed to sense that something was wrong and asked, "Uncle Shi, but what did Yushan say?"

Mo Yunhai didn't hide it: "Sima Hui is here and wants to meet me before the battle." ”

Wu Yu, who has not spoken much, said: "There will be no good meeting, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to end, uncle." "Everyone is not worried about them dealing with the Demon Cloud Sea, in broad daylight before the two armies, Yushan will not make a move at this time even if he is resentful, and according to the cultivation of the Demon Cloud Sea, the Zhuxian Xiaojian will not come out, even if the second generation boss of Yushan Guangci Zhenren comes, he may not be able to do anything about the Demon Cloud Sea.

Mo Yunhai naturally understood this truth: "It's just an invitation before the battle, it's not easy to refuse...... Anyway, the merits always have to be decided, if you can talk about it, it's good, if you can't talk about it, you can let go of each other, and life and death are in peace. ”

The messy revenge must be avenged, Yushan died Zhu Xiaojiu, and it must not be exposed like this, the only thing to worry about is Zhu Xian Xiaojian, hoping that the junior sister can find a way to restrain him.

Like the Demon Cloud Sea, Sima Hui has just arrived in Tianfang City, and he also led his troops to the expedition, he is naturally responsible as the Xiangguo of Shu, and he is not prepared to rush out of Tianfang City, if he can't flatten the opponent who is blocking in front of him, once the troops are out of Tianfang City, it is equivalent to plunging into a big pocket, if the side road of the Demon Cloud Sea cuts off the connection between the army and Tianfang City, it is equivalent to cutting off the logistics of hundreds of thousands of Shu troops, trapped on the plain and waiting to be eaten whole.

When the soldiers of Shunan Dao were dealt with, he also went straight to Tianfang City, but he didn't expect to hear the bad news from the door as soon as he came, Zhu Xiaojiu was also a fellow disciple he was more optimistic about, so he was plotted. His three disciples were naturally sad, but the saddest one was still the night boat, but he knew that it was useless to rush over now, so he calmed down and waited for the master of the same sect to come forward.

If Zhu Xiaojiu is reined in, Sima Hui will naturally start to face the imperial army, theoretically speaking, there are 200,000 troops in front of both sides, but many troops have not yet been allocated, and the side of Tianfang City is not conducive to the decisive battle of the large army. But they have no choice, if Shu wins, the imperial court will no longer have the strength to threaten the princes of the world, and if the imperial court wins, the 200,000 troops will immediately sweep through Western Shu, which can be said to be a war of gambling on the fortunes of the country.

Prior to this, whether it was public or private, Sima Hui decided to meet in front of the Demon Cloud Sea Array, so it should be regarded as a final note.
