Chapter 267: Compromise
Night Wind took two steps forward and said, "General, my subordinates have received accurate information that the Sun Nether Empire is gathering forces on a large scale, and within three days, it will definitely attack Gu Nan City! At that time, the army of the Sun Netherworld Empire will have 500,000 troops, while our side will only have 300,000. ”
This number frightened everyone present on the spot, 500,000 to 300,000, a whole less than 200,000, not to mention, the opponent's master is still there, but our marshal was injured, can this battle be won?!
"The Sun Empire, this is immortal!" the city lord's face turned a little pale.
"Is the person who attacked the marshal sent by the Empire of the Underworld? Is it a conspiracy of the Empire of the Empire?" said someone in a cold sweat.
In response to him, everyone was silent, and even Mu Hualan did not deny it.
"Don't worry, General Ben has received an urgent report that reinforcements from Kyoto are on the way, and what we have to do is to defend Gunan Castle until the reinforcements arrive. After a moment of silence, Mu Hualan's calm voice rang out, calming the panicked emotions of the group of people present.
"Will reinforcements really come?" "How many days are we going to hold out?" "Can we hold on?"
The group asked hurriedly.
Mu Hualan frowned, and there was some displeasure between her eyebrows.
"Enough, what are you afraid of, the Sun Empire is coming, Lao Tzu will dare to kill!" At this time, suddenly one of the big men in armor said with a sinister face.
His voice suddenly overshadowed everyone's words, and Mu Hualan also looked at him with some surprise, seeing the shame hidden in his eyes, she suddenly understood.
These officials in Gunan City, including the people in Gunan City, after the last time Gunan City was lost and tens of thousands of people were slaughtered, the people of Gunan City were extremely divided into two types of people, one was frightened and only felt that the Sun Empire was extremely terrible, and the other was full of hatred, thinking that the Sun Empire was extremely hateful, and the people of the Sun Empire deserved to die!
"That's right! Kill as many as you want!"
Dahan's words were supported by some people, and several people spoke up and echoed them.
Mu Hualan stretched out her hand and pressed down, and when they quieted down, she said coldly: "This battle must not only be fought, but also fought fiercely!"
"Alright, you go down first, and in half an hour, a battle meeting will be held. Mu Hualan said and waved her hand, a trace of blood flashed in her eyes, this battle is inevitable, and you can't lose it yet, otherwise for a long time, morale will be greatly reduced, fear will grow day by day, and Gunan City will be abandoned!
At that time, it will be a joke that Gunancheng will be the strongest defense of Tanglin.
There were a few of these people who wanted to speak and stopped, but looking at Mu Hualan with a determined expression, he finally didn't say anything, and retired with different expressions.
After they left, Mu Hualan didn't wait for Ye Feng to ask more, and ordered: "Ye Feng, you don't care about the battle. ”
"Will!" Ye Feng's face was surprised, although he was puzzled, but because of his trust in Mu Hualan, he still swallowed the last word 'army' back into his stomach.
"Your task is very important, go find an alchemist!" Mu Hualan said heavily, "It's best to be a five-rank alchemist, no matter what the means, you must do it as soon as possible! Also, you have to find a five-rank pill called Ziyuan Dan!"
"Yes!" Night Wind didn't ask, but thought of the unconscious marshal in his mind......
In the city standing in the center of the Wild North, in the city lord's mansion, a middle-aged man holding a bronze flat round array appeared in front of a separate courtyard with a naked upper body in his hand.
The man was tied up and couldn't move, but his mind was clear, his naked body was covered with wounds, there was still blood, the breath on his body was very sluggish, but his eyes were full of unwillingness!
Almost, almost he could leave the Wild North, but at the last moment when he was about to step out of the edge of the Wild North, he was caught by someone who suddenly appeared, thinking of this, Zhan Tian's heart was full of unwillingness and anger!
Casually throwing the trapped man to the ground, the middle-aged man saluted the door and said respectfully: "Venerable, the sinner has been brought!"
When the words fell, the space around the middle-aged man's body distorted, and in the next second, the middle-aged man disappeared in place with the man trapped next to him, appearing in the room in the courtyard.
The old man sitting cross-legged on the futon was wearing a gray robe, and when the middle-aged man and Zhan Tian appeared in the room, the gray-robed old man opened his eyes, and two fine lights flashed.
A cold gaze fell on Zhan Tian, and in the next second, a powerful force slammed into Zhan Tian's body.
Zhan Tian's eyes flickered, his body flew backwards suddenly, and with a bang, his back smashed against the wall, and he was shocked, and fell from the wall to the ground again.
Zhan Tian, who was lying on the ground, spit out blood, and his body twitched twice involuntarily, he only felt that his internal organs had been displaced, and the bones in his body were more like they had been shattered, and he couldn't exert the slightest strength.
"It's not him. The gray-robed old man said coldly, and the vulture's gaze fell on the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man knelt on the ground, a fine and dense cold sweat broke out on his forehead, raised the bronze array disc in his hand and put it above his head, and said in a panic: "Venerable, the direction of the array is only him, and after catching him, the array plate will no longer move." ”
The gray-robed old man stretched out his hand, and the array plate in the middle-aged man's hand immediately flew up and fell into the hands of the gray-robed old man.
The gray-robed old man turned the array disc twice, and the array disc emitted a burst of light, and an arrow appeared in the center, pointing in the direction where Zhan Tian was located.
He tried it several times, and the results were the same, which made him frown, and the anger in his heart kept rolling.
There will be nothing wrong with the array, and the direction of the guidance is the man on the ground, but although the man's body has spatial fluctuations, he is not the one who uses the formation, which makes him feel extremely irritable.
"Say, who is the one who uses the private formation? The gray-robed old man turned his fingers into claws, grabbed Zhan Tian's neck and lifted him up.
"Ahem. Zhan Tian was moved by this, immediately coughed twice, spit out two mouthfuls of blood foam, obviously a big man about two meters tall, but at this time he was like a rag doll and had to be held in his hands, not only could he not resist, he couldn't even move, the only thing that could move was his eyes.
In this case, don't say that he doesn't know what it is, and even if he does, he won't tell the other party at will.
The gray-robed old man shook his hand, and Zhan Tian's whole person was like a puddle of soft meat, lying on the ground softly. I can't lift my strength.
The gray-robed old man had a gloomy face, his eyes looked at Zhan Tian coldly, and the middle-aged man on the side spoke: "I remember that you have a younger sister, but I only found you in the Wild North, but I didn't find your sister. ”
Zhan Tian's pupils, who were limp on the ground, shrank suddenly, his face twitched uncontrollably because of the pain, and the changes in his eyes were very small, which was not eye-catching, and it would only make people think that he was because of the pain in his body.
But the two people in the room were not ordinary people, and they immediately noticed the change in his eyes, and the gray-robed old man eased his anger, handed a look to the middle-aged man, and motioned him to continue.
The middle-aged man was encouraged, his expression was straight, and he said to Zhan Tian: "Your sister's strength is far inferior to yours, not even a fifth-order cultivator, if I guess correctly, one of the people who use the teleportation array should be your sister." ”
"If you don't name the person who started the formation, we can only find your sister to atone, your sister should be outside the wilderness at this time, although it is a little troublesome to find her, it is still very easy, as long as you issue a hunt and kill order, or put a name on the mainland bounty list, the reward given is tempting, we don't need to do it ourselves, more people arrest and assassinate your sister." ”
"You may think that people from the outside world are different from Huangbei, but I can tell you with certainty that people from the outside world are more insidious than people from Huangbei, for a little profit, there are countless fratricides, killing mothers and fathers, not to mention just a stranger, what will be your sister's situation, do you think about it?"
"Do you want your sister to be a street rat that everyone shouts and beats because of you? Or to put it more seriously, do you want your sister to live in pursuit from now on? There is no one around you who trusts, and maybe someone will take her head in her sleep one day. ”
The middle-aged man said word by word, and he would pause when he said a paragraph, as if he was giving the other party a gap in thinking, and his voice was not subdued, nor was it very encouraging, but just told the truth very plainly, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
But Zhan Tian listened to it more and more coldly, and the more he listened, the bigger his eyes became, the people in the wilderness can do whatever it takes to survive, why is it impossible for people from the outside world?
Thinking about it like this, he suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, but he was not stupid, he knew that the other party was telling the truth, but there was also an exaggeration, but although there was an exaggeration, there was also a certain basis, as long as there was such a little basis, he couldn't really rest assured, he could not worry about his life, but he definitely couldn't do it without worrying about his sister's safety.
He suddenly regretted a little, why did he regret that he agreed to let Qin Xiu take away his sister, what if Qin Xiu didn't keep his word and harmed his sister?
But now, regret doesn't help.
"Don't worry, as long as you say it, not only will I not do anything to you, but even your sister will not move a single hair. The gray-robed old man promised, as for how much of it is true or false, it is unknown.
Zhan Tian's cheeks twitched, his eyes were thoughtful, and his mind was even more quick to think of countermeasures, if he guessed correctly, the so-called private teleportation array should be the formation that Qin Xiu left, the strength of the other two is very strong, you can't resist hard, you can only outwit, maybe you can pretend to compromise......
Thinking that he looked at the two of them with a compromise in his eyes, but still did not speak.
When the two people in the room saw his eyes, they knew that he had compromised, but he was just unable to speak due to his injuries.
The gray-robed old man took out a pale golden pill with a cold face, and the middle-aged man on the side took it with respectful hands, came to Zhan Tian's side, squatted down, stretched out his hand to open his mouth, and stuffed the pill in.
After a while, Zhan Tian only felt a cold gas flowing through his body, relieving the pain in his body, he looked inside his body, and found that the shattered bones were growing anew, and the displaced internal organs were also recovering.
This is obviously not an ordinary elixir, Zhan Tian thought to himself, he relaxed a lot, obviously the other party did not intend to take his life in a short time, otherwise he would not have spent so much money.
When Zhan Tian's injuries were healed for the most part, half an hour had passed, and he felt that he had resumed his movements, so he sat up from the ground slowly.
These two people are not easy to deal with, Zhan Tian thought in his heart while moving his hands and feet, when he absorbed the power of medicine to recover his injuries, neither the gray-robed man nor the middle-aged man interrupted him to heal his injuries, nor did he open his mouth to urge him, and he was very patient.
And when he sat up, it was obvious that his movements were very stiff and weak, and the two of them did not have the slightest intention of coming over to help him, but they did not have the slightest look of contempt on their faces, but behaved very kindly, as if they had classified him as their own.
It is precisely because of this that he feels that the two are not easy to deal with, if the other party interrupts his healing, or urges, he can also say that the other party's purpose is only to know the person who activated the teleportation array, and if the other party helps him, it reflects the other party's hypocrisy At the same time, it can also make him sure that what the other party wants to know is very important and urgent.
But the other party's reaction was unexpected, which made him unclear what the other party wanted to do, and it was really because of the promise that as long as he said it, he and his sister would be let go, right?
"Daoyou, can you say it now? Don't worry, as long as you say it, not only will we not hurt you and your sister, but we can also make amends and reunite you. The middle-aged man said, seeing the suspicion on Zhan Tian's face, he continued, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I am Lu Shiyan, the city lord of the main city of the Wasteland, and the one next to me is the Black Eagle Venerable, I believe you should have heard of our name, and with our name as a guarantee, I think you can rest assured." ”
Hearing the names of the two, Zhan Tian couldn't help but tense his nerves, but he didn't show it, he just suddenly said: "It turned out to be the City Lord, and the Venerable." ”
The main city of the Wild North is the most central and most prosperous city in the Wild North, and it is the center of the Wild North, with countless masters in it, and the city lord Lu Shiyan is a monk in the late ninth order, and his strength is strong.
Venerable Black Eagle is a master of the hidden world of the City Lord's Mansion, and being able to be called a Venerable means that the other party's strength has reached the realm of the Ninth Order Peak Great Perfection, and such a character has decided that he is definitely not something he can provoke.
Zhan Tian thought about it, thought about it in his heart, hesitated for a moment and said to the two: "I don't know if the private teleportation array you are talking about is the one I know, the person I know has left now, and I can't find him in the Wild North." ”
"Do you know where he went?" asked the gray-robed old man Black Shadow Venerable coldly.
"I don't know about this, the man didn't want to tell me about his trip, but my sister was taken away by him, and I know how to find my sister. Zhan Tian actually knew how to find Qin Xiu, but he was worried that he would lose his use value after he finished speaking, so he didn't tell the truth.
