Act 162 [Dragon's Spear Armor]
Zhai Wenli never thought that one day he would have the opportunity to command the Blood Tiger to ride against the enemy. However, what he didn't expect was that these Blood Tiger Riders were really at a critical juncture, and they didn't seem to be as obedient as he had heard before.
Faced with the crisis hidden in the depths of the cave in front of him, Zhai Wenli took out the qualities he should have as a general of the Xia Kingdom, and made unified arrangements for the entire Blood Tiger Cavalry, but the reaction given by these Blood Tiger Riders disappointed him.
Just as he was about to roar again, a sharp spear pierced directly through the Xia soldiers beside him in the darkness. The scorching red blood gradually stained his armor, and the diffuse smell of blood also made the slow-moving Blood Tiger Riders realize the seriousness of the incident.
But even so, the pace that has been slow is still slow after all. Zhai Wenli, who had been away from the battlefield for many years, also showed momentary hesitation at the moment when he was splashed with blood, but he quickly overcame this and led the Blood Tiger Riders present to deal with this unexpected situation.
However, it is clear that the threat that lurks in the darkness of the deep cavern is quicker than they react. More and more spears fell like a drizzle, each shot piercing through the fleeing Blood Tiger Rider with great precision.
As more and more spears fell, everyone slowly realized that there were no monsters in ancient mythology. Now it was people who were attacking them, and it was most likely an enemy from Xiji.
"Everyone's scrambling to find cover!
Zhai Wenli roared, organizing the surviving soldiers to fight back. Many Xia soldiers who were serving as transportation tasks also threw themselves into the battle under the command of Zhai Wenli.
"What about the archers, pull the strings, fight back!"
Zhai Wenli pulled out the long sword at his waist, anxiously like a monkey who had been robbed of a banana, but Ao Xin's cronies, who were originally in charge of his care, unfortunately told him a cruel truth: "General, we don't have any archers here, not one!"
Zhai Wenli scolded directly after hearing this, and asked the soldier rhetorically: "Among the thousands of people, there is not a single archer?"
The cronie sighed: "All the bows and arrows have been taken to the front line by His Royal Highness the Prince, even if there are archers here, it is useless!"
Hearing this, Zhai Wenli directly swung the sword in his hand and slashed at the rock beside him. As a result, the next moment, a spear directly pierced the soldier in front of him directly through his back, and then nailed him to the ground.
In the face of such a face-to-face crisis, Zhai Wenli froze directly in place this time. Immediately afterward, the earth began to tremble with one roar after another. The rain of gunfire in the sky gradually subsided in this series of roars.
This series of roars came from the depths of the cavern. When all the Blood Tigers present heard this roar, they all showed their fangs at the corners of their mouths. Many Xia soldiers also guessed through this roar who the enemy was hiding in the darkness in the distance.
In front of everyone's eyes, snow-colored leopards slowly walked out of the darkness. They are clad in hard armor, and on each of them sits a spear-wielding armorer. After seeing this scene, Zhai Wenli was a little skeptical that he was dreaming.
He rubbed his eyes.
The next moment, a lion with red flames between its hooves and claws appeared in front of everyone. Sitting on the back of this lion is a samurai in heavy armor.
The samurai held a spear coiled around a silver dragon. The people who followed him out of the darkness did not wear the same armor as him, but each of them had a similar spear in their hands, and they had two of these spears in their hands except him.
With the exception of his snort and eyes, the samurai's entire body was covered in heavy armor of dark blue. The armor on his chest was tattooed with a totem of flames, and unlike the legendary Chiyan warrior, a cluster of dark blue flames was burning on his chest at the moment.
The Blood Tiger Riders of the Xia Kingdom, who were originally preparing to fight to the death, all showed fear on their faces after seeing this warrior appear. There are many veterans who experienced the "Chiyan Rebellion" that year. For the armor of this samurai, it is impossible for them not to recognize.
Although the flames burning on the armor on his chest were very different from other Chiyan warriors. But what he was wearing now was indeed the armor of a Chiyan warrior.
Seeing this scene, Zhai Wenli was completely confused.
Looking at this strange Chiyan warrior and the weapon in his hand, as well as the blue flames on his body, Zhai Wenli could basically guess his identity. And what this Chiyan warrior is relying on at this moment is the old enemy of the Xia Kingdom for many years.
"Dragon Lance Armor Attendant, Dragon Lance Armor Attendant of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom!"
Some of the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom were shocked when they saw these soldiers riding snow leopards. Panic and noise pervade this suffocating atmosphere. Then, the lion, with its red flames between its hooves and claws, let out a deafening roar.
The earth trembles in this lion's roar,
Immediately after, an avalanche came uninvited.
Seeing this, Zhai Wenli couldn't take care of much, and hurriedly roared with the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom around him: "Run, run, don't hesitate, run!"
As soon as his words fell, 40,000 Heavenly Martial Kingdom dragon spear armor servants poured out. Some of the Xia Kingdom Blood Tigers who did not react were slaughtered in the process. The samurai, whose breastplate shimmered with dark blue flames, rode the golden lion with red flames between its hooves and claws, and rushed to the front.
Everything that stood in his way was torn apart by the spear in the warrior's hand. The speed of the avalanche is not as fast as these dragon lance armor servants from the Heavenly Martial Kingdom. Each of them was dressed in armor similar to that of this samurai, but it was much lighter in weight than the samurai's armor.
It can be said that each of these soldiers from the Heavenly Warrior Kingdom wears armor similar to that of the Chiyan Samurai, but the workmanship is not as delicate as the armor of the Chiyan Samurai, and compared to the heavy armor of the same kind, it can be said to be very rough.
Without waiting for Zhai Wenli to react, these days, the dragon spear armor servants of the Martial Kingdom rushed to clear most of the Xia Kingdom Blood Tiger Riders present before the snow fell like a landslide. In fact, this was not the first time that the Dragonlancer and the Blood Tiger Rider had confronted each other, but it was the first time that the battle ended so crushingly.
The wail sounded behind Zhai Wenli with the shock of the landslide and the cracking. He ran fast and didn't look back. However, how can a two-legged one run more than a four-legged one? Due to the crisis, he forgot to ride the Blood Tiger and escaped, which also gave the "Red Yan Samurai" led by him a chance to capture him.
In the chaos, the sharp spear stabbed out several chilling air blades, directly piercing the knees of Zhai Wenli who was fleeing. Zhai Wenli, who was running rapidly, did not feel pain at that moment, but his body fell straight into the wind and snow.
Immediately after, the Chiyan warrior picked up Zhai Wenli with one hand and dragged him all the way. In the process, several Blood Tiger Riders of the Xia Kingdom tried to save Zhai Wenli, but they were all easily killed by this warrior.
It didn't take long for the collapsing mountain snow to flood the cave that the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom had worked so hard to fill, as well as the Blood Tiger Riders who had been severely injured by the Dragon Spear Armor of the Forty Thousand Heavenly Martial Kingdom, as well as their corpses.
Seeing all this happen so suddenly and quickly, Zhai Wenli felt as if he had inadvertently fallen into a nightmare that he couldn't wake up from. In addition to the shock, it was accompanied by unspeakable pain.
When the falling mountain snow completely covered the battlefield in a mess, the samurai who dragged Zhai Wenli all the way rudely threw Zhai Wenli into the snow. Immediately after, countless dragon lancers threw out the ropes in their hands, circled around Zhai Wenli in the wind and snow, and wrapped around him.
The spears that had been thrown by these dragon lancers had all been recovered during the hunting and slaughter just now. They cheered, whistled, and couldn't help laughing wildly when they looked at Zhai Wenli, the famous general of the Xia State who was embarrassed at this time.
At this time, the "Chiyan Warrior" led by him took off his face armor, looked coldly at the old general of the Xia Kingdom in front of him, and then greeted lightly: "I haven't seen you for many years, General Zhai Wenli, don't come unharmed?"
When Zhai Wenli saw the face of this "Chiyan Warrior", he was stunned at first. He originally thought that the person wearing this armor was the commander of the Third Legion of the Red Samurai, "Blood Punishment" Uesugi Chigaku, but the truth turned out to be beyond his expectations.
"You ......"
Zhai Wenli didn't know the man in front of him.
The appearance of this man should be similar to that of Ao Xin, the son of Xia Kingdom. Interestingly, although Zhai Wenli didn't know this man, this man knew Zhai Wenli.
The man in the armor of the Red Warrior smiled at first. Then he said to Zhai Wenli with vicissitudes in his eyes: "In Xia Huawu, the head of the Hua clan of Tianwu Kingdom. Now the commander of the dragon lance armor. It was an honor to be able to meet the world-famous General Xia Guofeng Tiger here. ”
Zhai Wenli listened to it and snorted coldly.
Hua Wu laughed embarrassedly, and continued: "General Zhai Wenli, don't worry, I won't kill you." But then I'm afraid I'll have to wronged you for a while, as a prisoner of our Tianwu Kingdom, until we take the entire north of Dongji. ”
......
In the past few days, Meng Jian has basically not been in the Heartfelt Restaurant, but has been busy in the northern part of Frost Sword and Hanjiasi City, taking care of a bunch of trivial affairs for Mo Yan, who has disappeared again. At the same moment, "Yin", who lost contact with Gu Yina Yunfan again, disguised himself as a variety of strange identities and lurked in the Heartfelt Restaurant.
Ever since the Great Fire of Qi Temple, "Yin" has been lurking inside the Frost Sword, and has followed the Frost Sword's intelligence network to listen to all the information he wants to know. However, with the invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom, many stories that should have been over suddenly became extraordinary.
has always been sensitive to "hidden", instinctively sensed that something was wrong, so he followed the clues that he had not studied in detail all the way to the heartfelt restaurant. And this time, the action of "hidden" was not informed to Gu Yina or Yun Fan.
A few days ago, Lian Mu came to the Heartfelt Restaurant to find Meng Jian, and finally entered another room when he was about to leave, which happened to be captured by "Yin". This made "Yin" more confident in his instincts. All the tranquility that surfaces on the surface is actually a huge secret buried behind the scenes, waiting for the right moment to detonate.
In the opinion of "Hidden", the upcoming battle of Liuyun City will be the best time to detonate these. Indeed, the idea and judgment of "Hidden" are correct, but Qianyu Fenghua, who lives alone in the Heartfelt Restaurant, does not want to take advantage of the battle of Liuyun City to set off any big waves.
Right now, she just wants to draw a perfect end to the Qianyu clan's past in the Shuguo. In other words, "hidden" follows the wrong clue. Compared with Qianyu Fenghua, the current Han Bin and Xia Hong are more worthy of his attention.
In fact, from the first day that "Yin" lurked in the Heartfelt Restaurant, Duan Nian, who had always been careful, paid attention to him. This also means that if "Yin" wants to follow the line of the Heartfelt Restaurant and explore whether it will hinder the key to the success or failure of Liuyun City, not only will it go in the wrong direction, but it will also be very likely to get twice the result with half the effort.
However, these are all afterthoughts.
It was precisely because of the "hidden" and wrong clues that Han Bin and Xia Hong had the opportunity to successfully follow the plan they had formulated to tailor a first-class coffin for Yun Fan and bury him in the smoke of the battle in Liuyun City.
At this time, Meng Jian was very busy.
He couldn't remember how many times this was the first time he had suddenly disappeared. Previously, Lian Mu warned him not to let him leave the Heartfelt Restaurant, but he didn't expect that he violated Lian Mu's "ban" the next day. However, he believed that Lian Mu would understand, after all, the main problem was not him, but Mo Yan.
No one will know where Mo Yan is at the moment. After all, disappearances are his norm. But later, Frost Sword said that he had seen a suspicious figure near a deserted ancient temple south of Mirror Moon City. At that time, the black eyes and bloody eyes and pale complexion were very scary.
And this information also made Meng Jian, who had become the deputy commander of the northern part of the Frost Sword Hanjia Division City at that time, once again recall the night when the prince of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom attacked with a hundred cavalry war bears. It was from that time that Meng Jian gradually realized that he had become a pawn of "Shuo", and was no longer a "shackle" that hindered his true awakening.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
So what is Mo Yan doing at this moment?
Naturally, he was controlled by "Shuo", and tried to find the entrance to the "Dark Star City" in the ancient temple built by the people of the Ember period in the Mirror Moon City that had been destroyed by the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation" and the ancient temple built by the people of the Ember Period for the Black Sky Sect. And Meng Jian, it was only later that he realized that all those who were impregnated with his blood could be controlled by "Shuo", and he didn't know it at all.
In other words, Meng Jian's master, the commander of the Ninth Legion of the Chiyan Warriors, "Zhenwu" Mule Kali, is a hundred secrets. After all, the "Nine Star Seals of Chiyan" that she transformed into her life still couldn't stop the footsteps of "Shuo". This also unexpectedly proves the certainty of fate and the inviolability of it.
Just when Mo Yan was controlled by "Shuo", he was looking for clues about "Dark Star City" in Mirror Moon City. Xiao Li, who was imprisoned in the "Ice Prison", once again talked to the prince of Qianlei Kingdom, who had lost his front teeth.
"Hey brother, what's delicious in Xiji Thousand Thunder Country?" In the dark, Xiao Li said tentatively, "As the son of Thousand Thunder Country, you must be clear. ”
"Why should I tell you?" said Lei Yi disdainfully.
As a result, because he had no front teeth, he leaked when he spoke, which caused Xiao Li to laugh wildly, "I said, what are you pretending to be here after you are like this, everyone is now a prisoner, and they should help each other." Such hostility and isolation is not a good thing. ”
"What kind of mutual help method? You are a mask seller, can you help me get out of here? We are not people of the same world at all, if you disturb the rest of this world, as soon as I get a chance, I will twist your head off as a night pot. Lei Yi threatened, but Xiao Li was not only not angry but became interested: "I'm afraid, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World may not be able to wait for this opportunity in his life." However, if you call me grandpa, maybe I can really help you get out of this so-called "impregnable ice prison". ”
Lei Yi said disdainfully: "You are the one who buys the mask?"
Xiao Li sneered and said, "What's wrong with the mask seller, have you eaten the rice of your Thousand Thunder Country? Do you really think that grandpa and I won't order anything other than selling masks? Such a big "ice prison" is used to lock me up as a mask seller, and also lock me up with His Royal Highness the Prince, what's the matter? Do you think that the frost sword is for me to have fun for you?"
Hearing this, Lei Yi frowned, and then changed his attitude just now: "Who are you, and why are you being locked up here?"
Xiao Li smiled deeply, and then changed the topic: "Does His Royal Highness the Prince know why this "ice prison" is divided into eighteen layers, and each layer is made of silver and gold with secret arts?"
"I'm not from the country, how do I know this?"
"Then dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince of the World if you have heard of the Black Heaven Sect?"
Xiao Li's words made Lei Yi fall silent, and through Lei Yi's reaction, Xiao Li knew the answer he wanted, and then asked, "I wonder if His Royal Highness the Prince has ever heard of the legend of the 'Dark Star City'." ”
"I've heard of it all, and then?" Lei Yi asked Xiao Li curiously, and Xiao Li replied unhurriedly: "As we all know, silver and gold are metals that are currently known to be able to cause heavy damage to the Black Heaven Sect, and the silver sword artifacts created by the Mingyue Liu Clan can store daylight and skylight. It is rumored that the two wars between Mexico and Shu were actually fought for silver and gold. After all, silver and gold are the specialties of Jibei Shuguo. ”
"In other words, the gate of this ice prison was built by the Mingyue Liu Clan, and the entire ice prison was used to imprison the Black Heaven Sect before?" Lei Yi guessed, Xiao Li smiled: "His Royal Highness the Prince is half right. In fact, the ice prison we are in now is the entrance to the legendary "Dark Star City". ”
Xiao Li's words made Lei Yi fall into silence for a long time.
Without waiting for Lei Yi to react, Xiao Li sneered and continued: "In other words, if His Royal Highness wants to escape from this ice prison, he only needs to find a way to reach the bottom of the ice prison, the eighteenth layer. At that time, you can reach anywhere in Jibei through this legendary "Dark Star City". ”
"Wait, I remember that you didn't say before that you were locked up on the eighteenth floor of this ice prison, since there is such a good thing, why don't you take advantage of it yourself?" After thinking about it, Lei Yi suddenly questioned Xiao Li's words.
"I can go at any time, but the time hasn't come. ”
Xiao Li smiled slightly and retreated into the darkness again.
