Chapter 243: Cloud Dream Beast Tide
Like most border fortresses, although they have four main gates, they are built on different scales due to the different centers of gravity of the defenses. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Due to the proximity of the north gate of Xitang Pass to a section of Yunmengze, although it is the closest in a straight line to Qingxia City in the northeast, due to its proximity to a fierce place like Yunmengze, in order not to provoke the invasion of demonic beasts, no large roads have been built.
But it does not mean that the importance of the north gate is poor, in order to facilitate transportation, the kingdom deliberately built a post road connecting Xitang Pass to Qingxia City for military purposes.
In order to prevent Yunmengze's demonic beasts from attacking, countless sentry fortresses were even set up along this post road.
In fact, Yun Mengze's aquatic demonic beasts rarely come ashore to cause nuisance, and there are a large number of sentry fortresses to rely on, ordinary mountain bandits and bandits do not dare to commit crimes along the way, so that the passage to the north has actually become the safest passage.
This is also a reason why Xitang Pass requires the fake saint to go to the north gate, there can be enough soldiers to support at any time along the way, in a sense, it can be safe, but also can be turned into a cage, a small group of people, it is difficult to escape from the layers of nets composed of countless checkpoints.
But it's a pity that the Heavenly Saintess seems to have noticed the strangeness of Xitang Pass, and refuses to let go, so this opportunity is invalid.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Nangong Jin not only summoned five thousand elite cavalry, but even brought ten core elders of the One Sword Sect, these are not equivalent to parallel goods like Shao Yaguang, each of them has the strength of the peak of the quasi-saint, such a powerful strength, even if there is an integrated Bright Cavalry Regiment around the fake Tiantian, it can be completely swallowed, and there is not even a slag left.
It's a pity, I don't know why, the Holy Maiden of Heaven never let go, she just didn't agree to Nangong Jin to arrange an ambush in advance.
Naturally, there are excuses, saying that the brigade is easy to startle the snake, and she swears that she has a way to get rid of the impostor unconsciously.
even used the identity of the queen to exert pressure, Nangong Jin could not resist, so he could only order a large army to assemble at the south gate, of course, secretly let Nangong Wan and Ximen Xuan hang behind the convoy with a reconnaissance company.
Just wait for the signal of the Holy Maiden, and work together to solve the impostor.
But not long after the convoy of the Holy See left the south gate, a terrifying shadow hung over the Xitang Pass.
Just after night, Xitang closed the north gate, which seemed a little deserted.
Because the north gate is a military post road, even at night, the city gate is not completely closed, so there is a special sentry post outside the city gate for inspection and defense, and even a large courtyard is brought for the soldiers stationed in the city for the convenience of garrisoning.
As mentioned earlier, although it is close to Yunmengze, in fact, because the demonic beasts are rarely infested, not to mention the north gate of Xitang Pass, even the post road fortresses along the way are very safe.
Therefore, the north gate of Xitang Pass is basically the nature of a Qingshui Yamen, which is not like the filial piety of other city gates that can collect some caravans, there is no oil and water, and it is also very leisurely, and there is nothing to do.
The soldiers stationed here are basically no different from the distribution.
Therefore, after nightfall, it is basically time to go to bed and sleep, and there is no vigilance anyway.
Even if it's on duty at the checkpoint, don't care.
"It's getting dark, light the torch -- hey, don't sleep!" On a high watchtower, there were two soldiers, and the tall soldier kicked his companion: "You don't want to die! Where are you fooling around during the day?! If you let the captain see it, you will die!"
"Kick what! Don't kick you, don't you just light a torch?" The short soldier picked up the torch beside him, opened the fire fold with a curse, and with a snort, the torch ignited.
While inserting the torch in his hand on the watchtower, the short soldier complained in a low voice: "Ya, you said that we are guarding a broken watchtower all day long, and we can't even see a figure for a few days, and we are almost annoyed, I already knew that Lao Tzu had signed up for the cavalry." ”
"Cut! Are you still in the cavalry team like this?" the tall soldier said with a smile: "You must know that every cavalryman is at least a midshipman above the ninth level, and you must be like your brother and me!"
"Just you?" said the short soldier, "I'm sorry to say that I can't even ride a horse, and I'll be so scared that I pee my pants when I rush on a horse!"
"You bastard!" the tall non-commissioned officer was not angry, and kicked the short soldier with a playful smile.
The short soldier didn't seem to be in the mood to continue chatting, but stood up and stretched.
"Huh...... Look!look!"The short soldier suddenly leaned out of the watchtower, turned his head back to the tall non-commissioned officer, and even stammered a little, "Look, look, fire!?"
"What's so exciting, what's so strange about this, don't all those checkpoints light torches every night? I know it's beautiful!" The tall non-commissioned officer didn't care at all, and even stretched out his hand to stop the short soldier's discrimination, and said, "I know, like a long snake, I've seen a lot." ”
"No, it's ...... Be...... Beacon!"
Suddenly-
"Hmm!" "Hmm!" "Hmm......
A series of terrifying sounds of breaking the air sounded in the sky above, and the sound was low, and even a gust of wind rolled up, and the tiles above the watchtower fell to the ground.
"What's going on outside?" the entire outpost was stunned.
"Assemble, assemble!" The captain of the outpost hurriedly put on his armor and ran out of the small courtyard, many soldiers ran outside, and many people even stopped to look up at the sky, wanting to see what was going on outside, and there was such a loud noise.
But at this time-
"Boom!"
A huge paw fell from the sky and stepped directly on the watchtower of the sentry post, the huge huge paw with scales directly crushed the roof of the watchtower, stepping on the two soldiers who tried to sound the alarm, only the sound of bones shattering was heard, and the tall and short soldiers were directly trampled into flesh, and blood continued to flow down from the watchtower.
The soles of the feet were a meter or two long and covered with golden scales.
"Ahh
This is a two-headed wyvern that is nearly twenty or thirty meters tall and eight stories high, and the eyes of this giant wyvern are like two large purple wheels, especially the golden aura that faintly surrounds the body of this two-headed wyvern, which makes the air vibrate.
"Two-headed Flying Dragon King, Saint-level Demonic Beast !!" The captain of the garrison couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw this Demonic Beast.
The two-headed wyvern, one head spewed out flaming dragon breath at the crowd below, and the other head raised his head and shouted excitedly, but what he said was a human word: "Haha, kill, kill me, kill all, kill all." Whoever kills more. The king will give you greater strength, haha, kill !!"
"Boom~~~""......
The alarm bell of the entire Xitang Pass was sounded, and Nangong Jin and the master of Ximen rushed to the city tower when they heard the news, and they all heard the roars of various demonic beasts in all directions.
Especially when they saw an endless flying demonic beast appear from the sky in the north, everyone's hearts sank.
"Beast tide ......" Nangong Jin clenched the battlement, "How did you come so coincidentally......
Not only the sky, but then the ground rumbled, as if covering the sky and the earth, dense swarms of demonic beasts, swarming, so many that it was impossible to count for a while.
Instantly, everyone felt as if the end was coming.
