Chapter 54: Departure

Ji Yan packed his luggage and came to the square to gather, each hall had several academy lecturers leading their respective students, and everyone was ready at this moment, except for the people in the palace.

"Ou-" A loud chirp attracted everyone's attention, everyone couldn't help but look at the sky, five huge birds shuttled between the clouds, led by a golden eagle, the wingspan is dozens of zhang, the golden feathers cover the entire body, the whole body is like gold poured, the color of the wings is particularly conspicuous, with a little purple and gold color, very dazzling.

The six halls of the academy represent the inheritance of the six arts, and the palace may not be the strongest among the six halls, but it is definitely the most mysterious, because the cultivation of their disciples is not in the academy, but - the beast garden.

The animal park is a strange world, according to legend, it was opened up by the ancient sages who were proficient in the field of time and space, and the academy did not know when to get it, and found that there were a large number of demon beasts inside, so it became the animal garden of the palace, and later, there were also former sages of the academy who traveled all over the world, looking for bird eggs or demon beast cubs, and placed them in the animal garden, leaving them for the destined people.

Therefore, most of the disciples of the palace have been close to animals since childhood, which is also the key to their ability to become knights, the way of the royal horse, mysterious, they are mostly talented, rather than artificially taught, which has led to the scarcity of the number, this year's palace has only six people, compared to the previous palace, it is quite many, but compared with the other five palaces, the number is indeed the smallest.

"The disciples of the Imperial Palace will go first, and they have other tasks to do. Mr. Pang saw that everyone was puzzled and explained loudly.

"On the battlefield, things are changing in a hurry, and I hope you can all come back—" He spoke again, but there was plenty of comfort at the moment.

When the time came, someone said.

The master of the chess hall stepped forward, he was the formation master, and he had already arranged the teleportation array, and at this moment, he stepped forward and recited the spell silently, and the rune spells engraved around him emitted a dazzling light with the support of the energy of the huge crystal blocks in the eight corners, and then the light in the field flashed away, and the people in the field also disappeared.

Donghai City, the city has been on alert since yesterday, and after a night of discussion, the city lord has made an important decision to evacuate the people in the city.

Previously, he and Lu Xiaoyao learned that the purpose of their coming here was to protect Princess Eliza, the last blood of the British royal family, so the two decided to visit, but they were politely refused by the people of the fleet on the grounds that the princess was sick, and the commander of the fleet was in charge of reception, as well as the female swordsman, obviously, the other party gave enough respect.

This talented commander is named Keller, he described in detail the time when the chasing soldiers behind him may arrive and the deployment of troops, and which female swordsman added some things that Keller didn't know, the other party may have a very powerful person to come, so that the transcendent grandmaster feels powerful, the two of them don't dare to continue to think, if what the other party said is true, then I'm afraid that Mr. Yi will make a move, and his side will also suffer heavy casualties, so he immediately issued an order, and the people in the city withdrew from Xiwumen to other county towns for temporary refuge.

But after the order was given, many people were reluctant to leave, their ancestors grew up here, they continued to be here, but now they have to live a life of displacement, no one wants to. Of course, some people left, the rich merchants in the city and some big families, in the negotiation of the city lord, left a large amount of grain and grass, and the city lord sent some men to escort them to other counties, and at the same time, in order to find reinforcements, and some of them also left.

Most of them were reluctant to leave, unaware of what kind of battle it was, and still hoping to repel the enemy as they did against the beast tides.

The city lord and Lu Xiaoyao stood on the city wall, looking at the crowd coming and going below, "If what the other party said is true, then Dongtu, and even the entire Shenzhou, may fall into war in the future." The city lord sighed.

"Shenzhou has always been in the midst of war, but this time the dispute has changed the enemy. Lu Xiaoyao still held his wine bottle, raised his head and took a sip.

"The East China Sea is facing a great enemy, if the Daomen gets the news and takes advantage of this to attack on a large scale, my eastern soil will be attacked from both sides, and I am afraid that the situation will be critical. ”

After hearing this, Lu Xiaoyao burst out laughing. "Hahahaha——, what joy is life, what is the pain of death, if the sky is really going to kill my man, I can only obey the destiny of heaven. ”

The city lord shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your name as a carefree marquis is really not given for nothing, and you don't seem to care about such a big thing." ”

"The rise and fall of a dynasty is inevitable, as strong as the Great Qin Empire is only the second end, compared with time, even the immortal dynasty is just a white horse, passing by the clouds. ”

"This seems to be the concept of Daomen, it seems that you have gained a lot from traveling in Zhongzhou over the years. The city lord teased: "In that case, why did you have to defend Hailong Bay that day, as you said, just let it be." ”

"The master once said, the court heard the Tao, the night death can be carried out, the ideas of the Daomen seem to be extraordinary, but there are a few people who can really reach that realm, if everyone has no quarrel with the world, then there will be no war between Zhongzhou and Dongtu, I am just a mortal, there will always be their own vulgar thoughts. Lu Xiaoyao laughed at himself.

"If the other party's intelligence is accurate, the vanguard of those chasing troops will be able to arrive in two days, although it is a vanguard force, it is still not an easy task to hold Donghai City, let alone the large group of people behind. ”

"At this moment, His Majesty should have sent reinforcements, but there are no elite troops in the nearest counties around, and there are no riots in the East China Sea all year round, so there are no ace troops stationed, and several ace troops are all stationed at the western border, except for the Imperial Forest Army guarding Kyoto. Lu Xiaoyao analyzed.

"If the Royal Forest Army arrives, it is necessary to use the teleportation array, otherwise there will be thousands of rivers and mountains, and when they come, it will take the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, and even if they use the teleportation array, because the consumption is huge, and it takes several tosses, the fast is a few days, and the slow is dozens of days. The lord of the city spoke again and expressed his opinion.

"Fortunately, there are still a lot of defenders in the nearby county towns, at least they can resist for some time, but I'm afraid that there are a few cities near the East China Sea—" Lu Xiaoyao didn't say the result, but it was already conceivable.

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, what is the gain or loss of several cities, as long as you can achieve the final victory, everything is worth it. The city lord said hatefully.

"You can be so free-spirited? You have been here for a lot longer than me, and the people in the city all praise you, Lord Simon, for loving the people like a son, and really giving up to these people?"

"Fighting always kills people, this is unavoidable, I, Ximenyan, just have a clear conscience, not to mention loving the people like a son. ”

"I'm wondering if my imperial brother will send someone to pick me up, and I'm afraid even you will take it back when the time comes. ”

Ximen Yan didn't answer, looking at the neat and uniform troops in the distance, and was quite worried.

The seven large ships carried about 5,000 British troops, most of whom were tall and sturdy with round shields and pitch-black spears, were by no means inferior to any of the Han troops in terms of momentum alone, and their steps were uniform, and they were obviously extremely well trained.

The most important thing is that he felt the fluctuation of many people's Yuan Force, and the Western dancers may be different from the Eastern cultivation system, but they still have to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, which is unchanged.

Cultivation is a gift given by God to a small number of people, and if someone has an army of cultivators, then he will undoubtedly become the master of the whole world.

"You don't seem to have any faith at all. Lu Xiaoyao saw the worry in this old friend's heart.

"Do you see that unit, although the number is only a few thousand, I can feel that there are quite a few people with Yuan Force fluctuations. Ximenyan voiced her concerns.

"You know, I'm not really worried about them. Lu Xiaoyao said with a serious expression: "No matter how powerful the troops are, they are all vulnerable in the face of absolute strength, as long as there is a transcendent grandmaster, you can bury that army, what I am most worried about is the mysterious master they said, according to their description, that person is very likely to reach the Holy Realm." ”

"Holy realm, how is it possible, the saint is already out of the ordinary, how can he pay attention to these worldly things. Ximen Yan was surprised.

"There are some things that you may not know, the so-called holy realm is very different from the saint in people's mouths, the saint is the world's honorific title for people with great merits, and the holy realm is just a realm of cultivation, maybe his talent is outstanding, but he can't evaluate his character, but people who can cultivate to the holy realm are not too narrow-minded. ”

As the two spoke, a group of soldiers came to the city wall with a few strangely dressed men.

"I have met my lord, and several of them claim to have been sent by the fleet, saying that they can help my lord defend against foreign enemies. A soldier reported.

"Oh, is that so, they have a heart. The city lord said with a smile, after discussion yesterday, they not only gave the other party a customs clearance document, but also sent a few scouts to them as guides, and at the same time in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, I didn't expect the other party to leave a few people for themselves, you must know that this place will soon be a wolf smoke, and the mortality rate left behind is extremely high, and these people are obviously dead.

"We have no experience in fighting them, so we can make up for it, and it's time to make up for it. "Lu Xiaoyao hasn't been so excited for a long time.
