Chapter 402: Heading to Noppley City
On the third day of coming to Knox Country, Leng Qingchuan and his party came to a small town at the forefront.
The town was in shambles, apparently having just experienced a major battle.
"Do you have any opinions?" Leng Qingchuan asked, in the past three days, they had almost walked through the remaining territory of Knox Country, but they did not meet with the defenders of Knox Country.
As for Ryke, Khan, didn't he say that he was familiar with the terrain of the entire Knox country, Leng Qingchuan asked him to draw the terrain of the Knox country, and Lake once asked rhetorically, isn't there a map. As a result, Leng Qingchuan said, the map records are all approximate, and what I need is a sheep intestine trail...
Lake seriously suspected that Leng Qingchuan deliberately corrected him because of what happened before, but the king's order was hard to disobey!
Tiansi said: "The country should be angry and sad when the country is ruined, but the people I have seen in these days are all full of numbness and despair, and they have no fighting spirit at all, so they can only be slaughtered by demons. Such a country, even if we temporarily repel the invading demons and help them regain their lost territory, they will not be able to defend this land. β
"That's right!" Leng Qingchuan nodded approvingly and said, "If they don't want to guard, no one can help them." β
Tian 13 (Ziying) continued: "It's not that they don't want to keep it, but they can't see the hope of keeping it." β
Leng Qingchuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "It seems that if you want to achieve the final victory in this battle." We must first ignite the fighting spirit in their hearts and let them see a glimmer of hope!"
"It's not easy, just slaughter a few demon armies! After all, strength is the most powerful proof. "It was Tian Twelve who spoke, he was not tall, his body looked a little weak, and when he spoke, his words revealed an extremely arrogant arrogance.
As for the rest of the Heavenly Group, they are all non-talkative masters, and Leng Qingchuan doesn't expect them to say anything.
Leng Qingchuan said: "Let's go! It's time for people all over the world to see the power of my Huaxia Kingdom Demon Hunter Alliance!"
......
"Who are you?" A group of patrolling soldiers walked towards Leng Qingchuan and his group, and at the same time, his right hand pressed on the saber at his waist, and there was a great tension of sabre-rattling.
There's no way, it's a special period, Leng Qingchuan and they suddenly appeared here, it's really suspicious.
Tiansi and Ziying subconsciously crossed in front of Leng Qingchuan and protected him behind him.
Leng Qingchuan gently patted the shoulders of the two of them, and said with a slight smile: "Don't be nervous! They can't hurt me! What's more, they are also our allies." β
What Leng Qingchuan said was true, as the deputy leader of the Demon Hunter Alliance, how could his strength be weak? It can be said very politely that even if the three people ranked ten in the Heavenly Group wanted to kill him, it would not be so easy.
Tiansi and Ziying stepped aside slightly, and Leng Qingchuan walked over to the soldiers, smiling politely and elegantly, "We are members of the Demon Hunter Alliance. You must have received a notification from King Chris. β
"Demon Hunter Alliance, what can I prove?" said the slightly older soldier at the head.
"This is my business card!" Leng Qingchuan handed the soldier a golden card, and on the front of the card were five large gold inlaid characters: Demon Hunter Alliance. The back is engraved with the word Leng Qingchuan.
It is said that there are only eight such gold cards in the Demon Hunter Alliance, which are unique to the heads of the eight families and are also a symbol of their status.
(Don't ask why there are only eight gold cards, what about the eight family heads of the previous generation?? They don't have them?This is very simple, isn't it fragrant to destroy and reforge it?Besides, can't the eight gold cards start from Leng Qingchuan's generation?Don't you bite me... Syllable... I... οΌ
"It turned out to be Mr. Leng! It's rude for us!" The older soldier respectfully handed the gold card back to Leng Qingchuan, and waved his hand to the people behind him, signaling them not to act rashly.
Knox and Huaxia are neighbors, so they naturally know the reputation of the Demon Hunter Alliance and the meaning of this gold card.
"Where. You're just doing your business. Leng Qingchuan said lightly. "I wonder if you can ask a few of you to take us to meet the guards here?"
As soon as he heard Leng Qingchuan's words, the soldier's expression became sad, "The guards here all died in the battle three days ago. Only the remnants of our defeated soldiers remained, as well as some old, weak, sick and disabled people. β
Leng Qingchuan followed and grieved, this is not a scene to play, although the countries are different, but life is the same, it doesn't matter whether there is a difference between high and low.
Leng Qingchuan then asked, "I wonder how many people are left in this town?"
"There are four or five hundred people in the town," the soldier said, "half of them are unarmed civilians, and half of the other half are old and weak soldiers like us. β
In fact, the soldier in front of him was not old, he should be in his early forties, but he felt a little tired after years of fighting.
Four or five hundred people? Leng Qingchuan secretly thought to himself that he would not be able to defend this town with this manpower alone, because it was impossible for them to stay here forever.
"We've looked at the terrain of this town. There is no danger to defend at all, and it is only necessary to wait for the demon army to charge again, and it will be easy to set foot here. You're just making unnecessary sacrifices by staying here. β
(Oh yes, yes!, I forgot to mention a very important thing...) They can communicate with the people of Knox because they are fluent in various languages... Don't ask why, is it possible that they communicate in English, and I still have to write in English? Besides, don't you allow the whole world to speak the language of Huaxia?)
The soldier sighed again, "Why didn't we want to leave here? And the city of Nopli, which is closest to here, is now surrounded by an army of demons, and it is difficult to protect itself. How do we break through the demon army and enter Nopli City?"
"How many defenders are there in Nopli City?" Leng Qingchuan asked.
The soldier replied: "Nopli City is the choke point to the north of Knox King City, it is already heavily guarded, and in recent years, the nearby stragglers have also been integrated into the defenders, and now Nopli City is conservatively estimated to have nearly 200,000 troops!"
200,000 troops? Leng Qingchuan muttered to himself, this 200,000 army is indeed a large number, it seems that this Noppley City must go.
"Since we are here to help the Knox Country, and we happen to meet you here, we naturally will not sit idly by. Leng Qingchuan paused, and then said, "In this way, you gather everyone together, and we will escort you to Nopli City." β
"Thisβ" The soldier hesitated and was embarrassed, and then looked like he wanted to say something.
Leng Qingchuan knew the soldier's concerns, so he said, "What's the matter, don't you believe that we can get you to Nopli City safely?"
"That's not what I meant... It's just that... Alas," the soldier sighed again, and said, "That's it." Anyway, staying here is waiting for death, and you can fight with you. β
"Don't worry, even if it's at the risk of all of us, we'll get you to Noppley City safely. Leng Qingchuan repeatedly promised.
"Good. I'm going to gather everyone!" said that, the soldier had to make this last ditch effort.
It seems that this soldier is still very prestigious here, no, it only took an hour to convince everyone to get ready to go.
The soldier said, "Everyone is assembled and ready to go." β
Leng Qingchuan nodded and said, "Hmm." Let's go, then!"
As soon as Tiansi raised his hand, he looked at Leng Qingchuan again, and asked, "Do you want to go directly or..."
"Kill all the way!" Leng Qingchuan said extremely domineeringly.
The soldier was silent, suddenly thinking that this decision might hurt everyone.
No way, who would have thought that Leng Qingchuan didn't choose to avoid demons.
Compared to the soldiers, the ten members of the Heavenly Group seemed to be familiar with the resolute character of their deputy alliance leader.
