Chapter 182: Arrival at Erie City
The next day, Li Chen, escorted by two sergeants, marched towards the unknown city of Yili.
Because this was a matter decided by Captain Qin Zhan, it was also a resolute thing to achieve, and Li Chen now wanted to go directly to this city that he had never set foot in.
This Yili City belongs to the junction of the Han Kingdom and the Ice Wolf Clan, the Ice Wolf Clan is one of the four major demon races, living in the North Plains all year round, known as the "Overlord of the North Plains".
Li Chen still has a certain understanding of this Ice Wolf Clan, and Li Chen has also seen Yang Peiyan, the patriarch of the Ice Wolf Clan, at the clan meeting of the Qingniu Clan before.
Although the strength of this Ice Wolf Clan is far less powerful than that of the Green Bull Clan, it is also not to be underestimated.
After all, being able to be listed as one of the "Four Great Demon Clans" is enough to see the strength of this Ice Wolf Clan.
Because the Northern Plains have always been cold, there are very few races that can really survive here, so this Ice Cloud Wolf Clan has also become the overlord of the entire Northern Plains.
Originally, it was the fox clan that competed with it, but after years of war between the two clans, basically the fox clan had been completely suppressed by the ice wolf clan and mastered the entire northern plains.
Li Chen still remembered that the dispute between the Icefield Wolf Clan and the Golden-winged Dapeng Clan was the dispute between the Ice Wolf Clan and the Golden-winged Dapeng Clan, and it was Niu Baokun who went to solve the problem at that time.
Although these things have happened for many years, Li Chen still remembers them vividly, after all, Li Chen grew up in the Yao clan since he was a child, so he knows the demon clan very well.
Even to a certain extent, Li Chen even knows the demon clan better than he knows about the human race, after all, Li Chen has spent twelve years in the demon clan.
These things, when Li Chen set off, flashed from Li Chen's mind one by one, although there were twelve years apart, Li Chen still remembered it vividly, and he didn't forget it at all.
And this Erie City is directly on the border with the Ice Wolf Clan, because there has been no war for many years, so this Erie City is almost forgotten.
This Yili City is located on the border between the Ice Wolf Clan and the Han Kingdom, and it is a geographically unknown and relatively remote place, so it has not been taken very seriously for a long time.
Moreover, this Yili City is extremely marginal, and it is in an extremely wild desert, in an extremely inconspicuous position above the entire defense system of Weidu.
Before Li Chen set off, he specially checked the information in the army, and then learned that this Yili City is also a village and town.
There are 5,000 original inhabitants in the town, 1,000 infantry sergeants and three tiger bungeants left behind, and the entire city of Erie is only about 8,000 people.
The local products are completely unable to supply the use of the military pair, so this army pair has always been supplied by the defense capital, and Li Chen also brought the supply of the military pair in the past this time.
Although the location is remote and life is very difficult, Li Chen doesn't particularly care about these, after all, Li Chen didn't come to join the army to enjoy happiness, but hoped to exercise his ability.
What made Li Chen feel most difficult to deal with was the three Tiger Ben sergeants, these three were a Tiger Ben Second Rank Sergeant, named Lu Fei, who had always been the supreme leader of Yili.
For this Lu Fei, Li Chen only found these, after all, the small city of Yili is not an important place, so there is not too much pen and ink in the classics.
It's just that these main sergeants and peculiarities are recorded, and they are not detailed.
In addition to Lu Fei, who is a second-grade tiger, there are also two sergeants with the strength of a first-grade tiger, whose names are Chen Jinda and Zhang Wen, who are also the right-hand men of this Lu Fei.
Although this Lu Fei is only a tiger warrior with the strength of the second grade, he has thousands of infantry under his command, and he can be regarded as the emperor of the soil in this guard.
Now Li Chen was directly transferred to this wild place, and he was directly above this Lu Fei.
This is extremely unfavorable for Li Chen, because Li Chen does not know about these subordinates in his future.
Will such an army far away from the Acropolis City be free and loose, or even full of arrogance? This made Li Chen extremely unconfident.
Because these sergeants are not under the control of Weidu, but directly under the command of this Lu Fei, they are simply a small free country independent of the military government of Weidu.
This Lu Fei has been in charge of this place for many years, and Li Chen suddenly parachuted down directly, how could these people obey Li Chen's management?
He is just an appointment, and he is completely unable to convince the public, because this Lu Fei has been a guard here for many years, and he has been the commander here for many years.
It must be the desire of the military and the people, and Li Chen's arrival must be extremely unpopular, because Li Chen's arrival must have broken the original balance of power here.
Li Chen didn't know how this Lu Fei would treat himself, although he had the appointment of Weidu, but when he used it, it wouldn't be so easy and simple.
Moreover, his own strength is only the strength of the nine products, and there is still an extremely huge gap compared to this Lu Fei's Kaiguang second product.
This is also the most critical issue, because the army is divided into ranks based on strength, and now Li Chen is directly promoted to such a military rank, and his strength still does not reach such a water level.
If Li Chen reaches the realm of enlightenment, Li Chen is naturally full of confidence, after all, he can defeat an opponent who is one level higher than himself, as long as he has strength, everything is not a problem.
But the key is that now Li Chen is only the strength of the Nine Pins, which has an extremely huge gap with his opponent!
Such a big realm gap, even Li Chen himself is completely bottomless, because Li Chen has never tried to fight an opponent who is one realm higher than himself until now.
After all, this is a realm gap, Li Chen understands the huge gap, after all, the improvement of the grade is much more difficult than the level.
The gap is also even more huge, although Li Chen has not personally experienced these things, but Li Chen can still guess the huge gap.
Li Chen understands that if he wants to establish his prestige, the most basic way is to use his own strength to speak, but if he loses his strength, he will not be able to convince the public, and others will naturally not be convinced.
And now there is such an obvious gap between his own strength and the opponent he may face in the future, and Li Chen does not understand the specific gap, which makes Li Chen even more bottomless.
But after all, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Li Chen still has to face these, and he must defeat all the enemies in front of him.
Li Chen, accompanied by a few guards, left the bustling Acropolis City directly.
Although Weidu is a military capital, it has to be said that Weidu is still extremely prosperous, and it cannot be compared with a town with an average population of businessmen or people.
However, with the gradual westward journey of Li Chen and his entourage, the scene they saw gradually became barren.
Originally, Li Chen went north from the southwest to Weidu City, so the scene Li Chen saw was also extremely prosperous and rich, and gradually the economy became richer to the north.
All the knowledge is the richest area of the Han Kingdom, but now that he is gradually moving westward, Li Chen is also full of the scene of gradually becoming barren.
Li Chen gradually entered this desert Gobi from the rich hometown at the beginning, and the scene Li Chen saw gradually became a barren land.
The scene Li Chen saw gradually began to become bleak and barren, and Li Chen became more and more interested in this Yili City that he didn't know.
Because this Yili city deep in the desert Gobi, what kind of scene will it be?
Li Chen and his entourage gradually marched in an unknown direction, this way passed, the road was extremely long, and Li Chen and his party had to star for more than ten days.
Because Li Chen went this time, he didn't go directly alone, but went forward with the guards and the supplies of Yili City, so the speed was also much slower.
If Li Chen was lost, he would have galloped over by himself, but it would actually take less than three days, because on the way, Li Chen was also studying this remote and barren "Yili City".
Li Chen and his entourage marched towards this remote town, and along the way, Li Chen could be regarded as appreciating the western desert and Gobi of the entire Han Kingdom.
It is inaccessible, the natural conditions are harsh, and the population is sparse, and Li Chen can be regarded as seeing another scene.
Finally, at dusk on the tenth day, Li Chen and his party finally appeared on the outskirts of Yili City, and at this time Li Chen and his party were already in a state of disgrace.
This way the yellow sand covered the sun, Li Chen and his party ate a wave of "soil".
But when Li Chen arrived outside Yili City, Li Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional!
Because this city is located directly in the whole desert, the whole desert is an endless yellow sand, and the wind flies the sand and rocks together, and the sky is dark.
But this city is directly sitting in such a desert, Li Chen feels an extremely tenacious vitality, and this breath of life makes Li Chen feel extremely moved.
Although it has experienced many winds and sands, the city is already towering, and it is this towering city wall that covers the vast desert and completely blocks this piece of yellow sand from the city.
Only then can this place have the conditions necessary for human survival, otherwise how can 5,000 people survive in such a desert?
You must know that in the desert, the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of 5,000 people is also a huge test, and such a city has created such a miracle, a miracle of life.
Only by constantly fighting against the natural environment here, constantly improving the environment, and maintaining the existing ecological balance, can such a miracle be maintained.
Li Chen couldn't help but sigh a little with emotion This sergeant named Lu Fei was a little emotional, and Li Chen understood that these were all his credits.
Because it is just a city wall, it takes a lot of energy and time to build it.
In this desert, the natural conditions are harsh, and there are not many materials that can be used to build such a claim, and the whole city standing here is simply a miracle of life.
It is also enough to see the conscientiousness of the defenders here, Li Chen is still there in the twilight, looking at this city standing in the desert, he can't help but have some indescribable feelings.
