After a month, Yi Xingchen returned to Xinghua Island. It's just that I didn't think that on the Otherworldly Sky Continent, the barbarian army of the Xinghua Empire sent back a not very good news.

Since the Xinghua Kingdom attacked Nantu Castle, a small giant wooden city was established south of Nantu Castle, which belonged to the Nanban Castle of the Xinghua Empire. Subsequently, in order to declare the sovereignty of this territory, the Xinghua Empire stationed a barbarian army in Nanban City, the First Army of the Empire, and after continuously expanding its military strength, it formed the Nanban Army.

Considering that after the Great War, the army needed time to recuperate, and the local people who were willing to submit to the rule of the Xinghua Empire also needed to recuperate, therefore, after the site was selected and the Nanban City was established, the Imperial Cabinet issued an order to stop the advance, and the attack of the First Army of the Xinghua Empire was temporarily stopped.

After obtaining Yi Xingchen's permission, the Xinghua Empire's cabinet appointed Neo, the commander of the First Legion of the Xinghua Empire, as the real administrator of Nanban City. In this way, in the shortest possible time, Neo, who was the commander-in-chief of the legion in the Hundred Barbarians, took office and assumed the important position of temporary city lord.

Subsequently, in order to consolidate its rule, the Xinghua Empire carried out a series of measures to benefit the country and the people, including helping the people affected by the war to rebuild their homes as soon as possible, restoring the original production mode of the region, and assisting the local economy to recover as soon as possible, which was to stabilize the people's hearts and establish the image of a wise ruler in front of the people.

It is precisely because of this series of quick and effective governance plans of the Xinghua Empire that in the following month, no war broke out again in Nanban City, and at the same time, it also received economic support from Nantu City. Elements from all sides have played a positive role together. prompted the rapid recovery of Nanban Castle.

And that's not all. In order to take advantage of the situation, the Xinghua Empire specially arranged several large-scale markets, gathered a large number of special commodities to Nanban City, and spread the news to various nearby regions. Therefore, every time there is a market day, a large number of caravans from various places will gather here in Nanban City, and at the same time, these caravans, as well as some of the surrounding barbarian tribes. When they come to the market, they will also bring various items from their caravans to trade here.

As a result, these several bazaars are very lively, and the volume of commodity trade is also very considerable.

These scenes not only greatly promoted the quality of life of the aborigines of Nanban City, but also enhanced their confidence in recovering their lives. For the Xinghua Empire, it is natural to obey willingly. Won over the hearts of the people. The development of Nanban City is naturally smoother than expected.

With the success of the bazaar and the presence of the Imperial legions, the city not only grew rapidly but also established its military rule. Seeing that Nanban City had a security guarantee, some merchants who enjoyed the benefits of trading in the Nanban City Bazaar gradually began to arrange for their families to be stationed in order to purchase the specialties of various ethnic groups in Nanban. Even, some weapons in Xinghua City, such as scimitars, spears, etc., also have a fixed sales store in Nanban City, and some barbarians who are willing to submit to the rule of the Xinghua Empire have come to check and buy them. As a result, Nanban Castle gradually developed into a long-term and stable commercial street.

These are joyful developments. The temporary lord Neo can foresee that in the near future, Nanban City will become the central city of the Empire's rule over the Hundred Barbarian Lands.

But what is very bad is that not long after, the Xinghua Empire Legion has to face a change.

On this day, Neo was reading the investigation report on the veins around Nanban City that had been drawn from the Imperial Geological Survey Team after several days of field investigation, in his lord's mansion in the central district of Nanban City.

"Report!" Suddenly, a hurried cry came from outside the door, interrupting Neo's work.

"Come in. Neo, who was interrupted from his thoughts, felt a little unhappy in his heart, but as soon as he thought that the person outside the door might have something special to report, he suppressed his displeasure a little, and then answered the door.

After hearing Neo's response, the people outside the door did not delay for any longer, and quickly opened the door and walked in. It turned out to be Neo's aide-de-camp.

I saw that his face was solemn, as if something big had happened, and sure enough, he immediately reported a bad situation to Neo: "Sir, the post not far away reported that they had discovered an abnormal situation. ”

"What anomaly?" asked Neo.

"In the sky, there are a large number of UFOs, and they are flying in the direction of Nanban City. The adjutant replied.

When Neo heard this, he immediately remembered a piece of news he had received from a friendly barbarian tribe not long ago. To the south of Nanban City, several tribes that disobeyed the Xinghua Empire held gatherings for unknown purposes, and one of them was the Eagle Clan. It is said that the Eagle Clan is good at training eagles and is a natural Eagle Knight.

For such a tribe, the walls of Nanban City are almost useless to them. If this is the case, the existing defense construction of Nanban City seems to be obviously unable to withstand the attack of these eagle clans, and if the two sides are really likely to fight, Neo and they must strengthen their defenses as soon as possible.

Therefore, Neo still pays more attention to them. However, Neo did not have any fear of them.

"The whole city is on alert, and the residents of the city are notified that only the north gate will be closed within a time limit of 20 minutes, and the remaining three city gates will be closed immediately. The soldiers who were on guard in the city and were in charge of law and order were to be loaded with bullets, and those who disobeyed the warnings could be killed. The legionnaire's gun, like a loaded bullet, can be killed in any attack on the army. Neo quickly said, "Order the soldiers at the outpost to evacuate if they spot the enemy." In addition, send a squad to pick up the soldiers at the outpost. ”

The adjutant took down Neo's order and immediately left, going to the communications squad of the intelligence station, and through radio waves, transmitting the orders from his superiors to the sentinels at the outpost.

The adjutant left, and Neo didn't have the heart to continue to sit at his desk to work, he grabbed his gun and walked out of the city lord's mansion.

On the side of the Castle Lord's Mansion, there is a 20-meter-high tower, which just allows you to see the four walls of Nanban Castle and some scenes outside the walls.

Neo went up to the tower, and with the help of a telescope, he could clearly see the people of the city.

The city lord's order made the people in the city a little panicked. But. Under the bullet of the vigilantes. Order is still there.

After ten minutes, most of the shops were closed.

On the streets, no one stays.

Only a small number of barbarians hurriedly left through the north gate.

In fact, most people know that once war breaks out, it is safest to stay in the city.

"Sir, a UFO has been spotted in the south. ”

A soldier on the tower. It was found that there were dozens of black spots in the southern sky.

Using a high-powered telescope, Neo clearly sees that it is a flock of eagles, and there are people on top of them.

"This is the Eagle Clan!" order the soldiers of the South Gate, and if the eagles come close, knock them down!" Neo said viciously. Nanban City is Neo's exploit in expanding his territory, and he cannot tolerate any enemy who will erase his exploits.

The son of the patriarch of the Eagle Clan, Ying Yang, he flies in the air with a high face, dreaming of becoming the king of the barbarians. Not so long ago, the meeting was held in the valley of the southern stream. As many as twenty hundred barbarian tribes gathered together to discuss strategies against the Xinghua Empire. The elders of the various clans made an important decision. That is to crusade against the Xinghua Empire, drive out outsiders, and occupy Nanban City. The first person to enter the alliance of the Nanban City was the Nanban King, who could lead twenty tribes and was the co-leader of twenty tribes.

In fact, this time the Stream Alliance is a few barbarians who failed to leave the Nanban City area, as well as more than a dozen barbarians who are interested in the benefits of Nanban City, and want to occupy the Nanban City that the Xinghua Empire has just built.

You know, this is a wild place with no city. The land of the Hundred Barbarians, the best place to live, is the territory of the first major clan in the southeast, the Bear Clan. Because the bear clan has always looked down on the northwest of the land of the hundred barbarians, the barbarians here are a group of backward tribes who rely on the mountains and the water. When there is nothing to eat, they will rob the caravans, or attack Nantu Castle and plunder Nantu Castle.

It's a pity that since the rise of the Xinghua Empire. These backward barbarians, seeing a large number of barbarians who surrendered to the Xinghua Empire, did not lack food or clothing, their hearts began to be unhappy. Why can they live so well?

The thinking of the robbers, which led to the union of twenty tribes.

Among them, the Eagle Clan became the vanguard.

The task of the Eagle Clan is to wait for an opportunity to attack Nanban City, wait for the follow-up barbarian allies, and capture Nanban City in one fell swoop.

With Nanban City, any caravan from the Western Regions could not stop and accept their exploitation if they wanted to go to Xinghua Kingdom.

Originally, the barbarians' plan was still good.

However, this time the leader of the Eagle Clan team, Ying Yang, is a person who is very happy. In his heart, he desperately wants to become the king of the Southern Barbarians. The Eagle Clan stepped into the control area of Nanban City, did not stop to pay attention to the outpost of the Xinghua Empire, flew directly over, and came to Nanban City, and Ying Yang wanted to snatch the first credit.

"Yingyang, there is Nanban City in front!"

A young man of the Eagle Clan shouted loudly, his face full of excitement.

"Hahaha, let's let the miscellaneous pieces of Xinghua Kingdom see the power of our Eagle Clan. Ying Yang smiled.

"Yingyang, Xinghua is not a small country, we have to be careful. An Eagle warrior on the other hawk advised.

Ying Yang smiled contemptuously and responded, "These soldiers of the Xinghua Kingdom, how can they attack us with swords and guns. After a while, we can easily stand on a high place and shoot our arrows as much as we want. ”

The Eagle Clan had never encountered the Xinghua Army, and they didn't know the power of the Xinghua Army's rifles, and they still thought that the Xinghua Army was the same as the previous Dongli Army. Even if there are archers, as long as they dodge them, they will not do any attack damage to the Eagle Clan.

After a while, the Eagle Clan approached Nanban City.

"Ascend! Over the city wall!" Ying Yang saw that there were soldiers in Nanban City, and subconsciously gave an order to evade.

On the tower in the center of Nanban City, Neo patted the railing next to the tower.

The Eagle Clan suddenly rose up, and suddenly escaped from the range of the rifles of the Xinghua soldiers on the city wall.

"Order the soldiers in the city, don't stand in the streets, hide all of them, and shoot down as soon as they see a natural bird!" Neo instructed his lieutenant and gave a new order.

After a while, the soldiers of the Xinghua Army prepared in the city hid one after another. In particular, they occupy one of the few tall buildings in the city.

"Sir, please get down the tower at once. The adjutant said to Neo.

When Neo heard this, he did not refuse, and immediately went down the tower. He was a commander, and his combat position was to command in the rear, and not to venture at the front. The military regulations of the Xinghua Army require that any soldier must stick to his post. Until the last moment, they must not leave their posts without permission.

In the sky, about two hundred eagle knights entered the sky above Nanban City. They were high above and looked down on the Nanban City below. Eagle Yang laughed, there was no one on the street, he thought it was the people in Nanban City who saw the Eagle Clan Knight, and hid in fright. So, Ying Yang gave an order that he regretted.

"In the name of the Condor, let's wreak havoc as much as we want!"

Ying Yang reached out and picked up the two black clay pots hanging from his waist and threw them on a building in Nanban City.

Seeing this, the rest of the eagle knights also followed the example of the eagle and threw down the black clay pot.

The clay pot contained black oil and they threw it on top of the house to light a spark to start a raging fire.

Bang bang bang......

A large number of clay pots were smashed in Nanban City.

Neo was shocked when he got the news. Xinghuajun was no stranger to oil, and everyone was immediately nervous. I'm afraid that the Eagle Clan will drop the flames next.

Thankfully, the Eagle Clan didn't have the means to ignite a fire in the air.

The Eagle Clan dropped the clay pot, and they immediately chose a location with a large area, that is, a two-story building where Eagle Yang dropped the clay pot, and they were ready to go to the top of the building to light a fire.

More than twenty eagle archers, as well as more than a dozen eagle knights, grabbed the spears placed on the eagle's back, and attacked at any time to cover the eagle knights who lit the fire. The rest of the Eagle Clan, also divided into a dozen parts, are ready to light fires everywhere.

500 meters, 400 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters...... The Eagle Knight, who was holding the flint, rushed down.

Bang! bang......

Shots rang out, and the Xinghua Army began to shoot back!

The descending eagle is so large that it is difficult to dodge a small bullet.

After a while, more than a dozen eagle knights who wanted to ignite the fire, even the eagle and the people, were shot and fell.

Then, the soldiers of the barbarian legion attached to the Southern Barbarian City of the Xinghua Empire, with knives, rushed forward, even cut down the eagle knight who fell to the ground, and even chopped off the eagle's wings.

Seeing this, Eagle Yang was furious and shouted, "Kill! Anyone who insults the Eagle Knight deserves to die!"

The Eagle Knight's bow and spear flew out and shot at the Xinghua army below.

However, the position of the Eagle Knight is a bit high, and it will not do much damage to the Xinghua Army.

The Eagle Knights began to fly low, wanting to use their speed to inflict lethality on the Xinghua Army below.

Seeing this, the gun-wielding soldiers of the Xinghua Army immediately found an opportunity and kept shooting.

Bang bang bang......

Constant gunfire shot down eagle after eagle.

The screams of the Eagle Knight also rang out again and again. (To be continued.) )
