Dragon City, which was built after the War of Eclipsist War, is the largest military defense project in Nanhua.

It used more than 100,000 migrant workers before and after, and it took eight years to complete.

Its north and south ends are connected to the sea, stretching 68,000 miles from east to west, and are composed of thirteen important passes.

And in order to effectively defend against the invasion of the demon clan, the lord of the Nanhua Kingdom, that is, the suzerain of the Taiyao Sect, Jun Shoule, relied on his unfathomable cultivation to lay a powerful Heaven Sealing Barrier on the border.

In addition, he also ordered people to open up the underground spiritual veins of the Seven Star Mountains such as Tianshu Mountain, Yuheng Mountain, and Kaiyang Mountain, so as to supply the energy needed when the barrier was opened, so as to cut off the connection between Nanhua and the outside world.

After that, the sky above Dragon City was shrouded in a layer of pale cyan Heaven Sealing Barrier all year round.

Rumors about its indestructibility spread throughout South China.

However, years of living and working in peace and contentment have made the people forget the hardships of war.

As for the mercenary Jia people, they slowly cast their greedy eyes on the great rivers and mountains outside the gate.

Because there are countless mineral deposits, precious medicinal herbs and pieces of wild game.

At this moment, I saw a middle-aged man standing by the eaves pillar on the Guan Tower, looking at a team of people escorting goods in the distance, walking here in the dripping rain.

Then he raised his hand and ordered the soldiers of the city to push open the gates.

This person is Zhao Yi, the general who guarded Zhenshan Pass, who was born mighty and majestic, and he was not confused when he was young.

Zhao Yi walked down the stone steps on the inside of the city wall, stood in front of the arch gate and asked loudly: "Han Chaofeng, seeing that you are unharmed this time, it is worth celebrating." ”

The leader of the team, named Han Fu, replied respectfully to the other party: "Lord Zhao's Hongfu, I didn't encounter monsters along the way. ”

"What is the condition of the jade retrieved from outside the customs this time?"

"It's all right. The villain specially ordered someone to leave you a box of jade materials with good color, so as to talk about the heart. ”

"Han Chaofeng has a heart. After hearing this, Zhao Yi nodded frequently, and then kicked the wheel of the carriage, and said, "It's just that except for this box of broken jade materials, isn't there anything else to honor me?"

"I hope the military master will forgive me. Han Fu said with a smile: "Subtracting the cost of hiring servants and officers, the small ones are just barely making ends meet." Besides, I didn't give the military master five hundred taels of silver before leaving the customs, and you also laughed at it, didn't you?"

"You gave the silver taels that went out of the customs. But I didn't see the silver taels that entered the customs. ”

Lord Zhao laughed. According to the rules set by Lord Li, aren't they all at this price?"

"Master Li has been promoted. From now on, this town and mountain pass will be under my control, and the rules will naturally have to be changed. Zhao Yi said unkindly: "Han Chaofeng doesn't give silver." Then you will fight where you come and where you will go back. ”

The soldiers guarding the pass stepped forward and formed a phalanx to block their way.

Seeing this, the faces of Han Fu and the others looked extremely ugly.

Because outside the gate is the land of monsters, and people are dying every year in that place.

A few days ago, there was a caravan looted by monsters outside the pass, and even the corpse of the capital has not been found.

As long as they get out of this town, no one can guarantee that they are fully limbed.

If it weren't for the wealth and danger, who would want to come all the way here to die?

This time I finally returned with a full load, and I definitely couldn't go back to the adventure.

But if you accept the other party's request, this trip will erode the capital.

However, Han Fu didn't care about this, but turned his back to the guys behind him, squeezing his eyebrows at Zhao Yi, not knowing what he was thinking about.

But Zhao Yi obviously didn't understand what he meant, but thought that he was reluctant to give up the silver taels, so he asked impatiently: "Have you thought about it?"

At this time, the guy behind Han Fu was afraid, and hurriedly handed him the burden wrapped in silver taels, and talked with him for a while.

Han Fu bowed slightly, as if he was deeply convinced of this, and stepped forward with his baggage.

After seeing this, Zhao Yi took the burden with a smile and handed it to the subordinates next to him to count it.

"Isn't that right? Zhao Yi patted the other party's shoulder and said, "I'm just asking the brothers for money to buy wine, why do you have to be so serious with me?"

"In the future, we will be blessed and rich together. ”

But he never thought that Han Fu was like a roe deer who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and suddenly hid behind him, and pointed to the guys in front of him, and whispered to him in shock: "Lord Zhao, those people are actually monsters."

"They killed all my men, and left me to open your gates, but don't let them pass. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Yi suddenly stiffened physically and mentally, and turned his head unnaturally.

At this moment, purple lightning cut through the clouds, and the rain suddenly became heavier.

"It seems that you really shouldn't have been allowed to live in the first place. ”

Wei Jiqian, who pretended to be a partner, then raised his head and looked at the enemy in front of him calmly.

His side face reflected the scorching thunder, and he slowly pulled the knife from his waist.

The edges of the hat made of bamboo strips were dripping, gradually wetting the coat on his shoulders.

After Emperor Daozhi ordered the withdrawal of troops from Nanhua, the suzerain of the Taiyao Sect, Jun Shoule, ordered the people to build a dragon city on the border to defend against the demon clans from the Onirong Kingdom and the Taichen Kingdom.

However, the monsters who lost their loved ones in the war were unwilling and secretly hibernated in the poor mountains and bad waters of Nanhua, silently waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

Among them, the Heavenly Wolf Clan, which is entrenched on the Black Tower Mountain in Longyou Road, and the Lion-faced Vulture Clan on the White Eagle Ridge in Jiannan Province, have the strongest power in Nanhua.

Whenever food is scarce, they will dispatch tens of thousands of youkai to attack human cities in droves.

The envoy of Longyou Jiedu and the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu repeatedly personally led the troops, and went up the mountain to encircle and suppress the monsters entrenched there, but they always had little effect.

In the end, they had to order the relocation of the local people and build a pass to defend against the demons.

As if the sun was about to set, smoke began to rise from the villages.

Groups of tenant farmers were diligently mowing rice, and their dwarf figures disappeared into the rolling waves of golden rice.

The sparkling sweat on their foreheads fell into the dust along the tips of their tall noses.

Stacks of dry straw are piled up haphazardly among the terraced fields, and they look like they are about a man tall.

The well-buried landlords sat in their backlight to enjoy the coolness, and were chatting and laughing and playing chess.

Despite the recent evil deeds of the Celestial Wolves on Mount Blacktower, they seem to be unconcerned about it.

After all, it has been more than 200 years since their ancestors lived and worked here in peace and contentment.

Now it's just a few hundred casualties, so what's there to care about.

Besides, where are the immortals in war?

The rich families in Pingliang City are all behind the gate, so they won't be scared because of this little thing.

As for the ordinary people, seeing that they continued to tease the birds and watch the play, they also made up their minds to continue their lives.

The big families are well-informed and haven't fled yet, so what do we have to care about?

So, everything went according to plan, and the small days were as always.

However, no one knows how bad the fighting on the front line has become.

Because in order to calm the people's minds, the local governor strictly blocked the news of the front line to the people in the city.

As for the real number of casualties in the corps, it is now more than ten times more than what the people have heard.

Pingliang Castle belongs to Zhongyongfu and is located in the south-central part of Longyou Road.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is a well-known military town. With the production and superior geographical location of Yuheng Mountain, it is rich in fluorite and rich people.

Feng Boyi, who was the garrison of Pingliang City at the time, was sitting on the battlements with his hands scratching his head, drinking a pot of turbid wine alone.

He stared straight at the corpses in the mountains, his eyes filled with indescribable melancholy.

As for Zhang Jin, the deputy garrison who climbed the city tower through the stone steps, slowly walked to Feng Boyi's side.

Half of his body was shrouded in the shadow of the tower, and the fiery red cloak hunted behind it.

Feng Boyi handed the wine jug to the other party, and suddenly asked him, "How is the situation?"

"All parts of the southwest of Longyou Road have been attacked by the Heavenly Wolf Clan. After Zhang Jin took a sip of wine, he replied: "What is puzzling is that the main force of Heita Mountain is still migrating.

"And no one knows where their next attack will be.

"What can be determined, however, is that this aggression is very unusual, and it is clear that it is not for the purpose of plundering food and materials. ”

"Has the prefect agreed to support us?"

"Reinforcements can't come. Zhang Jin continued to reply: "Last night, the front line reported that two soldiers had found traces of the Heavenly Wolf King near the Hidden Fog Mountain.

"They seem to want to move to Jiannan Province and fight with the griffin-faced vultures entrenched on the White Vulture Ridge. This is not good news for everyone.

"Not to mention how many cities they will destroy on the way? The combined forces of these two demon clans alone are enough to wipe out the lax Jiannan Dao.

"Now, in response to the request of the envoy of Jiannan Province, the officers and soldiers of Zhongyong, Baiye and Xiangnan have been ordered to assemble in Yinwu Mountain, and they cannot draw troops to support us for the time being.

"The prefect's decision is that we abandon Heira Castle on the same day and escort the people to Daoji Tenhara Castle to seek refuge. ”

"Nowadays, the abandonment of the city is inevitable. Feng Boyi was silent for a moment and said, "And seeing this situation, this vicious battle has to rely on ourselves." ”

Zhang Jin suddenly asked, "How many men do we have left?"

"At present, the Pingliang Castle Corps has lost most of its strength, and the number of troops capable of fighting is about 5,000. ”

"It seems that after I left, the situation seemed to have gotten a little worse. ”

"The immediate priority is to make the names of those killed in the barracks public, so that the people can know that the war is on the horizon. Feng Boyi immediately got up and ordered: "Pass my order, so that the officers and soldiers in the city are not disarmed, and strictly prevent enemy attacks."

"Send another 2,000 elite soldiers down to urge the evacuated people to pick up their luggage, and you will lead the troops to escort them out of here. ”

"Have you really come this far?" Zhang Jin said, "What about you, my lord?"

"Someone has to stay behind to supervise the battle, and I'll cover your evacuation. ”

The next day, the sound of roosters and horses' hooves intermingled, and there was a faint light in the dim sky.

The celestial wolves in all directions stared at the city walls, making the soldiers guarding the castle towers shudder.

These huge celestial wolf bloodlines are pure, and they are the most famous demon clan in the Taichen Kingdom.

I saw that they all had blue eyes and brown coats, but their bodies were larger than ordinary horses.

After the garrison Feng Boyi drew his sword and signaled, the soldiers holding the torch lit the boulder on the stone bag, and dozens of soldiers immediately let go of their hands.

The heavy rope suddenly rose up, the spinning gears began to burn, and the raised cannon tips threw the boulder out.

The fire-stained boulder flew over the city walls and burst open in the dense crowd of demons.

Its sound is like thunder, and the fire is as bright as summer flowers.

The wolves were so frightened that they bared their teeth and flinched.

At this moment, the blood-stained gates slowly opened again.

Feng Boyi personally led more than 3,000 horsemen to charge forward, fighting desperately with the heavenly wolf in front of him, in order to open the way for the team behind him.

After that, a carriage full of people suddenly burst out of it.

Zhang Jin led the troops to follow, and his troops quickly divided into two groups, with thousands of horsemen on the left and right to disperse the surrounding monsters.

The bumpy road was splattered with blood, and the ruts in between were of varying shades.

Nearly 10,000 horse-drawn carriages drove away, heading for a distant place where life and death were uncertain.
