The Juelong Mountain Range, also known as the Juelong Mountain, borders the Gulong Pass in Jibei and is located north of Jingwei Pass. It spans the four countries of Xiji Qianlei and Hanyue, Dongjishu and Moxi, and separates the Dongji and Xiji Qianlei countries. Its highest peak is more than 10,000 meters, covered in silver for many years, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist.

The rock walls of the Absolute Dragon Mountain Range are hard and difficult to break through with conventional swords.

But that's it, Lei Che, the lord of the Thousand Thunder Country, still tried his best to open a road to Dongji from here at all costs.

After the first battle of Jingwei Pass, Lei Che learned from the pain.

After realizing that even if the Xiji Eight Pillars joined forces, they would not be able to break through the Jingwei Pass, the world's first male pass, Lei Che set his keen eyes on the Jibei Shu Kingdom at this time.

At the beginning, even Lei Che didn't expect that the Seven Kingdoms of Dongji, which had lost their armor and abandoned their armor in the Xiji Eight Pillars Kingdom that they had killed, would gradually become detached after enjoying the victory in the Battle of Jingweiguan.

In view of Mexico's second invasion of the Shu Kingdom, the rest of the Dongji countries either chose to stand by or choose to take advantage of the fire to rob. The "Jingwei Guan Alliance", which was once a good story, has become a joke.

The story of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge and cooking the dead rabbit and the dog is always repeated in the same form in different eras. Is this the vicious circle brought about by the collapse of Lile? In contrast, Xiji at this time is more united than Dongji.

Lei Che, the lord of the Thousand Thunder Country, has always had the ambition to dominate the world.

It can be said that it is precisely because of Xiji Lei Che that there is Dongji Liangyi. I forgot to mention earlier that the commander of the Eight Pillars of Xiji at that time was Lei Che of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom, and the leader of the alliance of Dongji was Liang Yi.

Lei Che is Liang Yi's lifelong enemy.

As early as when Liang Yi succeeded to the throne of Qiguo, Lei Che, who was far away in Xiji, had nothing to do when he was full, and spread everywhere that there was an improper relationship between Liang Yi and Nangong Liuli, the former lord of Qiguo, so Nangong Liuli would pass on the throne to Liang Yi, and on the grounds that Liang Yi succeeded to the throne and insulted Lile, he instigated civil strife in Qi at that time.

Liang Yi has always kept this feud in his heart, but he has never mentioned it to anyone. However, because of the existence of Jingwei Pass, Lei Che's ambition has never been able to extend to Dongji.

So, after the defeat in the Battle of Jingwei Pass, Lei Che learned from the pain and came up with a trick that made people feel like a joke - "digging through the Juelong Mountain Range".

After realizing the cruel fact that Jingwei Pass was a one-man pass, Lei Che tried to dig through the Juelong Mountain Range to find another way to open up another road between Xiji and Dongji, on land.

However, with the hardness of the rock walls of the Absolute Dragon Mountains, it was difficult for a regular sword to break through them. Located in the west of the Thousand Thunder Country in Xiji, the Lord of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom Yun Trembling, after learning of the idea of Lei Che, the Lord of the Thousand Thunder Country, he used the "Ancient Secret Technique" to create tens of thousands of "lava slashing knives" for the Thousand Thunder Country, so that the soldiers of the Thousand Thunder Country could break through the mountain rock, and because they were worried that in the process of "digging the mountain", the mountain would collapse, and the Tianwu Kingdom sent a hundred secret magicians to accompany the Thousand Thunder Country on the expedition to help the Thousand Thunder Country complete such feats.

In the dark tunnel, amid the sound of breaking walls one after another, the man rode the greedy war bear with a solemn expression, and all the soldiers were waving the lava slasher made for them by the Heavenly Martial Kingdom in waste of sleep and food.

Beside the soldiers, huge war bears waved their claws to accompany these soldiers of the Thousand Thunder Country to cut through the rocks. Under normal circumstances, if these war bears did not wear "lava claws", even if tens of thousands of soldiers from the Thousand Thunder Country worked together, it would take at least twenty years to dig to the current depth.

Legend has it that this Dragon Mountain Range was incarnated by the body of a demon god in ancient times. Conventional swords can't break through the rocks of Juryu Mountain, but under the action of lava claws and lava slashers, the stone walls here are easily melted like mud, emitting a pungent stench.

The firelight that lingered on the lava claws and lava slashers dispelled the surrounding darkness with a swing, and the man slowly came to the forefront of the path of the Absolute Dragon Mountain at this time.

He was eight feet tall, with a waist of ten girths, fat muscles, and a full beard. He has a bohemian appearance, holding a giant battle axe that is nine inches long, but when he walks quickly, he can look like a flying swallow.

At this moment, the man was waving the battle axe in his hand with a disgraced face, breaking the wall with the soldiers around him. Not long after the strategy of "digging mountains and breaking walls" began, the wall-breaking pioneer team of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom ushered in a landslide, but fortunately, they were accompanied by a mystic sent by the Heavenly Martial Kingdom, so in the end, there was no danger.

After continuous attempts and explorations, the army of the Thousand Thunder Nation put on the "Lava Battle Claw" for their armor-piercing war bears, which greatly improved the efficiency of "Piercing the Mountain".

In addition to the "greedy war bear" commander who is one of the twelve divine beasts, these armor-piercing war bears with "lava war claws" have been waving their claws day and night to break through the hard stones of the Juelong Mountain Range, and the soldiers holding the "lava slashing knives" have been working together with them for more than a year.

Sweat soaked the man's armor, but he didn't care. A razor-sharp battle axe slashed across the hard stone wall, causing a series of sparks to light up the darkness around her, and a woman dressed in black walked slowly amid the sound of wall breaking.

All the soldiers who were about to rub shoulders with the woman in black saluted and avoided it, as if they were welcoming a very important guest. Scarlet eyes, breathtaking in the firelight. The skin is as white as wax and covered with black-blue blood vessels.

The "greedy war bear" who was originally napping on the side showed his sharp fangs and arched his body after seeing the woman in black coming, and his blue eyes were full of undisguised killing intent, eager to tear the woman apart immediately.

After seeing this scene, the man gently stroked the blood-colored fluffy hair on the forehead of the "greedy war bear", and then said indifferently to the woman dressed in black: "You are awake." ”

The woman in black coldly glanced at the "greedy war bear" who was protected by the man, and smiled: "I just woke up, I don't know if the lord of Lei Che can sleep peacefully last night?"

Lei Che patted the dust on his hands, hugged the woman into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for this." ”

The woman in black gently pushed Lei Che away, and then stood shoulder to shoulder, and in the afterglow, it was still the "greedy war bear" who was grinning at her at the moment: "Thank you for the love of the lord of the country, Gu Yu just offered a little bit of effort." ”

Lei Che: "Mr. Gu is too modest, if there is no guidance from Mr., the widow may be trapped in Xiji for the rest of his life, and there will be no chance to establish immortal feats and establish the hegemony of Wang Tu." ”

Gu Yu: "The lord of the country is destined to become the co-lord of the world, and what Gu Yu has done during this time is just to add icing on the cake to the hegemony of the lord of the country." ”

Lei Che: "Then dare to ask sir, how long will it take for us to cross this long Absolute Dragon Mountain Range and reach Dongji." ”

Gu Yu gently placed his hand on the pitch-black and cold rock wall, releasing a spiritual gossamer invisible to the naked eye, covering the entire Juelong Mountain Range. As a drop of water condensed due to dampness and coldness fell to the ground in the quiet Juelong Mountain Body, Gu Yu already had the answer in his heart.

She turned to stand side by side with Lei Che and whispered in his ear: "Calm down, at the current speed, you can penetrate this mountain range in fifteen days at the earliest." ”

Lei Che thought for a moment and asked Gu Yu, "Does the widow need to prepare something?"

Gu Yu: "Does the lord of the country know what season it is outside now?"

Lei Che thought about it, he had been here for more than a year, how could he know what season it was outside, so he said honestly: "I don't know." ”

Gu Yu: "At this moment, the outside world is in the autumn and winter season. ”

Lei Che rejoiced: "Qianlei Guoerlang grew up in the wind and snow since he was a child, and he has never been afraid of the cold, and there are 70,000 armor-piercing war bears fighting with him, so there is no need to be afraid of such concerns. ”

Gu Yu: "In addition, I would like to ask the lord of the country to be blindfolded with the soldiers when he is about to break the mountain, so as not to cause unnecessary damage to his vision due to not adapting to the strong light of the outside world." ”

"Thank you, sir, for the reminder. Lei Che ambiguously sniffed the delicate fragrance of the black-clothed woman's hair beside him, like a greedy and unsatisfied beast, Gu Yu didn't seem to have any resistance to this, but said lightly: "Then let's do this for the time being, if there is a need for a little woman, the lord of the country will say that it doesn't matter." ”

Lei Che was about to say something, when a man in velvet armor and snow-colored bear claws tattooed on his body walked through the darkness with a torch.

The light of the fire illuminated his emaciated face, and by the light of the flickering light, the long scar on the man's left cheek from his right eye to his earlobe was faintly visible. The man's hands were calloused and his face was covered in dust, and if it weren't for the bear's claw tattoos on his breastplate, he would easily have thought of him as an ordinary soldier.

After Gu Yu saw this man coming, he saluted Lei Che. Signaling to retreat, Lei Che did not stop him. Gu Yu, who was dressed in black, immediately passed by the man with a scar on his face. She smiled slightly at the man, who just nodded politely, and then walked straight to Lei Che, who was looking at Gu Yu's back at this time.

After seeing the scar man, the "greedy war bear" on the side changed his vigilance and ferocity just now, revealing a rare gentleness and intimacy, and the scar man saw this and gently stroked the forehead of the "greedy war bear". All the soldiers also showed respect after seeing the scar man.

"Father. The scar man's call woke up Lei Che, who was originally a little distracted, and Lei Che was stunned: "Lei Yi, why are you here." ”

Lei Yi smiled awkwardly: "Recently, I heard that my father and Mr. Gu are getting close, and the officers and soldiers in the army seem to have a lot of complaints about this, so I came to remind my father." After all, Mr. Gu is the secret master of the Tianwu Kingdom, although our Xiji countries are not divided from each other, but my father is the lord of the Thousand Thunder Country after all, and there must be a proper sense of distance. ”

Lei Che said impatiently: "The widow knows, is there anything else?"

Lei Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "In addition, I heard that my father has recently suddenly changed his battle plan against the Dongji Kingdoms, and changed the original attack strategy against the Shuguo to capture the three ministers of Liuyun, Dianxing, and Yaoguang, who have now become the Dongji Mo Kingdom, I don't know if this is my father's decision or ......."

Lei Che put the tomahawk in his hand on the ground, and then set his eyes on the "greedy war bear" who was eavesdropping at the moment. The soldiers on the side immediately approached with torches. "Greedy War Bear" didn't speak, but he was consciously avoiding Lei Che's gaze.

Lei Che didn't speak, but asked the greedy war bear in his heart. What he asked, no one could hear except the greedy war bear. The Blood Pact makes it possible for the beast to communicate only with the Terrans with whom it has signed a contract.

Lei Che: "Did you tell Yi'er?"

Greedy War Bear: "Lei Che, I'm doing this for your good, now you are too close to that black-clothed woman." ”

Lei Che: "She and I are just using each other. ”

Greedy War Bear: "A thousand years ago, as one of the twelve divine beasts, the deity also had such luck as you at this moment. No one can use each other with the Black Sky Sect, they will never be friends, let alone partners. ”

Lei Che was a little impatient: "The widow has his own measure. ”

Lei Yi on the side seemed to realize that his father was talking to the greedy war bear. Although he didn't know what his father was talking to him, he should have broken up unhappily with his expression.

At this time, a deep voice sounded in Lei Yi's mind, it was a helpless sigh from the greedy war bear: "No matter what, you must not be bewitched by that black-clothed woman, as the son of the Thousand Thunder Country now, your responsibilities are heavier than your father." ”

Then, without waiting for Lei Yi to reply to the greedy war bear, the greedy war bear had silently walked away. In the cold tunnels of the Juelong Mountain Range, there are reverberating excavators one after another. The soldiers waved the lava slasher in their hands to break through the wall, and the armor-piercing war bear waved its claws to cut through the harder rocks under the command of the greedy war bear, opening the way for the soldiers of the Thousand Thunder Country. Those mystics from the Heavenly Martial Kingdom performed their secret techniques here, and the risks that might arise during the exploration process were to avoid the collapse of the mountain.

With the light of the extinguishing fire, Lei Che took out a dagger from his waist and drew a map of the original territory of the Dongji Shu Kingdom at this time on the cold stone wall. Lei Yi on the side didn't speak, and watched silently. He knew that Lei Che would tell him later.

The blade drew a mountain range, two majestic passes, and four cities on the hard stone wall, and the somewhat piercing sound of friction came to an abrupt end after the last city was outlined.

On this sketchy map of the Eastern Ji Shu Kingdom, Lei Che marked Bright Moon City and Mirror Moon City with a single city. The long mountain range represents the Juelong Mountain Range they are digging at this time, the two passes to the north represent the Gulong Pass, the south represents the Jingwei Pass, and the remaining three cities represent the Dian Star City, Yaoguang City, and Liuyun City respectively.

In the gloomy darkness, the deep eyes fell on the location of Bright Moon City at this time with the dagger tip in the firelight. Lei Che asked his eldest son Lei Yi lightly: "Do you know what is in this city now?"

Lei Yi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know." ”

Being isolated in this Absolute Dragon Mountain Range for nearly a year, Lei Yi does not have many eyes and ears like Lei Che, so he has no idea what the outside world is going through at this moment, and what changes are taking place.

Lei Che: "Jun Yunfan, the prince of the kingdom who has been missing for many years, just came back not long ago. He had gone alone, but when he came back, he was not alone. Now in this city, there are nearly 6,000 Chiyan warriors, more than 10,000 barbarians, and the last army of the Shuguo Kingdom. ”

Without waiting for Lei Yi to answer, Lei Che marked a new point at the intersection of the three boundaries of the Juelong Mountain Range, Gulong Pass, and Bright Moon City, and then continued to ask Lei Yi: "Do you know what is here?"

Lei Yi: "I don't know. ”

Lei Che: "Of the 50,000 Dongji Xia Kingdom troops, of which 30,000 are Blood Tiger Riders, do you think that after we break through the Juelong Mountain Range, these Xia Kingdom troops will fight or avoid." ”

Lei Yi: "Erchen thinks that he is watching from the wall. ”

Lei Che: "The Battle of Guanhe?"

Lei Yi: "The battle between my Thousand Thunder Country and the Dream Country." ”

Lei Che: "What are the odds of victory if that widow's army were to fight against the Sujin country that you know now?"

Lei Yi: "We should have sixty percent, and the dream country may have thirty percent." ”

Lei Che suddenly smiled and said, "Why is there still one percent missing?"

Lei Yi: "That depends on the will of God." ”

Lei Che: "So, you think we still have a good chance of winning?"

Lei Yi: "An army of 100,000, a hundred high-level mysticists, including 70,000 war bear riders, equipped with lava slashers and lava claws, the majestic and long Juelong Mountain Range can't stop our footsteps, it may be a bit bumpy to take this lonely city in the north of Jibei, but it must be a problem." ”

Lei Che sighed: "Yi'er, you are still too young. ”

Lei Yi respectfully: "I am willing to listen to my father's teachings." ”

Lei Che: "When our Thousand Thunder Kingdom takes this Bright Moon City, what do you say awaits us." ”

Lei Yi: "A new beginning." ”

Lei Che wondered, "Where to start?"

Lei Yi: "From this lonely city in the north of Jibei to the whole world!"

Between the words, Lei Yi's eyes flashed with a different kind of excitement, and as a result, what Lei Che was going to say next made him feel like he had been hit in the face.

Lei Che's tone was a little stern: "The widow asks you, if our 100,000 troops of the Thousand Thunder Country take this Bright Moon City, how much will be left?"

Under the light of the extinguishing fire, Lei Yi already had eyebrows in his heart, but he hesitated slightly when he spoke: "In the early years, I heard about the bravery of the Chiyan warriors, and I almost killed the Xia Kingdom and its subordinate Han Kingdom, which dominated Dongji so much, with my own strength, and now there are Beilu barbarians stationed in it, if we really want to fight, we will suffer at most half of the casualties before we can take this lonely city." ”

Lei Che: "One hundred thousand horses have lost half of the lonely city in Jibei, you tell me how to use this as a new start?"

Speaking of this, Lei Che raised his sharp dagger and pointed at the location where Xia Guo was stationed, and asked Lei Yi: "You tell the widow again, after taking Mingyue City, what will these people of Xia Guo do?"

Lei Yi was ashamed: "Start a war with us and reap the power of the fisherman." ”

Lei Che: "They will block the retreat of the widows and make the entire Dongji a cemetery for the 100,000 soldiers of our Thousand Thunder Country!"

Lei Yi bowed his head: "The son is dull, I hope my father will calm his anger." ”

Lei Che used a sharp dagger to point at the three cities of Dianxing, Liuyun, and Yaoguang at this moment: "A Bright Moon City, no matter how rich it is, it is difficult to support the 100,000 troops of the Thousand Thunder Country, after all, the amount of food of the war bear is too amazing." The courage of the Chiyan warriors, the widow has heard of it for a long time, at this time there is only this breath left in the Shu country, Yi'er, you have to remember, a once powerful vassal state will never be killed by a sword, only time can kill it, if we start a war with the Su country at this time, until the soldiers come to the city, we will only see a city of flood beasts that look at death as home. Except for this lonely city in the north of Ji, there is nothing left of today's Shuguo. ”

Lei Yi was ashamed: "Erchen remembers his father's teachings. ”

Lei Che sighed: "I originally planned to take the opportunity to take Mingyue City, mainly because the Mo Kingdom and the Su Kingdom were in a hurry to start a war. The widow has calculated the whole process of the war between these two countries with your teacher, Mr. Gu, and it is estimated that it will take at least two years for the Mexican Kingdom to take over the entire kingdom of Shu, but who would have expected that this country would fall to the three cities in a short period of time. ”

Lei Yi: "So, compared to winning Bright Moon City now, we have a better chance of taking the three cities of Dianxing, Liuyun, and Yaoguang?"

Lei Che: "Mexico is located in the south-central region of Dongji, and most of its territory is located in the south of Dongji, and I have never seen a cold winter. These cities are all located in the north of Dongji, and the winter is sometimes longer than our Thousand Thunder Country, how long do you think these Mexican people who grew up in the south can guard these three northern cities?"

Lei Yi suddenly realized: "Thank you father for mentioning it, when our 100,000 troops pass through this Juelong Mountain Range, Erchen is willing to be the vanguard and expand the territory for his father!"

Lei Che smiled: "When the war between the Mexican Kingdom and the Su Kingdom began, it was the height of summer, and although the Marquis of the Mexican Kingdom has always been indecisive, he rarely makes mistakes on some major strategic issues. In the spring of that year, after the Mexican State defeated the Su State on the border between the two countries, it surrounded the three cities of Dianxing, Yaoguang and Liuyun, besieged but did not attack, and cut off the connection between the cities of the Su Kingdom. It dragged on until the middle of summer, when the final decisive battle was held, and I have to admit that a good strategy, using strengths and avoiding weaknesses, ended this battle that actually dragged on and did not do much benefit to them before the autumn and winter came. ”

Lei Yi: "If the Su Kingdom at this time counterattacks the Mexican State, wouldn't it be ......?"

Lei Che: "Now the strength of the country is only enough to hold Mingyue City without breaking, if you want to recover the lost territory, I am afraid that you will have to find another way." I have to admit that now is indeed the best chance for the country to regain its lost territory. ”

Lei Yi: "Now has become our chance. ”

Lei Che: "Yes, among the three cities of the Shuguo, Yaoguang City borders Jingwei Pass. The widow has already agreed with the lord of the Tianwu Kingdom, when the time comes, we will take Yaoguang City first and cut off the supply line of Jingwei Pass, even if the blood tiger of the Xia Kingdom has blocked the widow's retreat, don't worry too much. ”

Lei Yi was shocked: "Father is planning to attack Jingwei Pass with the Lord of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom?"

Lei Che smiled: "Yes, such a God-given opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it again! Jingwei Pass is the first male pass in the world, and a man should be the first pass, but the soldiers guarding the pass are people after all, once its supply line is cut off, then our Qianlei Kingdom only needs to surround Jingwei Pass to fight the invading Dongji reinforcements, and wait for Tianwu Kingdom to capture Jingwei Pass from the front, and then we can open the road to Dongji for Xiji Zhengda!"

Lei Yi listened, and waved his hands sincerely: "Father's words today have benefited his sons a lot!"

Lei Che looked at the busy figure of the greedy war bear in the distance, and patted Lei Yi on the shoulder: "Aren't you curious, how did the widow know what is happening outside now?"

Lei Yi was puzzled: "Forgive Erchen for being stupid." ”

Lei Che said lightly: "These are all told by the woman in black, if there is no reminder from her, when we break through this Absolute Dragon Mountain Range, and then rush to the Bright Moon City of the Dream Country, it won't be long before our Thousand Thunder Kingdom will become the laughing stock of the world." ”

Lei Yi was unwilling, but he still made sense: "Erchen, let's go and compensate Mr. Gu." ”

Lei Che stopped him: "You are the son of the Thousand Thunder Country, you don't need to apologize to anyone, remember what the widow said today!

Lei Yi waved his hand: "Erchen remembers his father's teachings. ”

Lei Che was going to continue talking about his eldest son, but in the end he held back. He was very troubled by his eldest son, who only knew the battlefield, and did not understand the struggle for power. This is not a good thing for the Thousand Thunder Country, and the future Lei Yi will have to shoulder the entire Thousand Thunder Country.

Thinking of this, Lei Che's gaze became deeper and deeper, and it seemed that people of his age would always have many untold stories hidden in their eyes. He pulled out the battle axe buried deep in the ground, stood side by side with Lei Yi, and said to himself: "I don't know what the prince of the Shu Kingdom who came back from Beilu is doing at the moment. ”
