Chapter XVIII: The Beginning of the War
Just after riding a horse and walking less than 100 meters, Zhang Yang only felt that his body was suddenly much heavier, and an unprecedented sharp stinging pain accompanied by numbness almost made him fall off the horse. Zhang Yang originally thought that his electric energy enhancement just now suddenly became stronger, but who knew that it was a sudden enhancement, and the side effects were so big! If this comes to me in the middle of the battle for such a moment, I won't explain it directly? It seems that in the final analysis, my body is too weak...... While thinking, he barely managed to control his horse and bypass the frontal battlefield and came to the woods about three miles from the city of Jotan. At this time, Zhang Yang, who was entangled in pain and side effects, was about to get off the horse to rest, when a sudden pungent smell of blood came into his nose, and Zhang Yang immediately became alert, such a strong and pungent smell of blood! Not what an ordinary battle can cause. Zhang Yang's intuition told him that something bad had happened. When he followed the smell to the back of a low dirt slope, the scene in front of him surprised him, who had always been calm! I'm nagging! This scene made Zhang Yang mistakenly think that he had come to the slaughterhouse! I saw that the corpses of about hundreds of people were piled up haphazardly behind the dirt slope, covered by scattered branches! That's not a complete corpse anymore, it can only be said to be a pair of minced meat! The approximate human form can only be seen from the limbs, clothing, and skull...... Who is it! What kind of person could do such an evil deed?! The pungent smell of blood made the smeller nauseous, and the dark red blood had just seeped into the earth, staining the yellow-brown earth a disgusting black! Is it the guard of the city of Jotham? Zhang Yang forcibly endured the pungent smell and came to the vicinity of the corpse to take a closer look, and found that these people looked like merchants in Jotan City! Zhang Yang vaguely remembered that when he entered Jotan City, it happened that their group of people were about to leave the city! Who's the killer?! They're just ordinary people! It shouldn't be Maculus, with Zhang Yang's knowledge of that man, he wouldn't do it, and there was no reason to do it. Don't?! Zhang Yang felt that things had become more complicated, if it was the conspiracy party's move, and then blame the Earth Dragon Legion, plus if the conspiracy just now succeeded, the Earth Dragon Legion would go on a killing spree... This will turn into an undying blood feud! …… Isn't that good......
There were so many corpses that Zhang Yang didn't want to stay even for a moment, so he could only continue to travel south for a distance. The faint smell of blood seemed to be faintly smelling, and this series of events seemed to be a dark cloud pressing on his heart. Zhang Yang felt a little dizzy, it was useless to think more, let's heal first. He found a dry clearing,
After tying up the wildebeest, he sat down against a large tree. At this time, the side effects of the electric energy enhancement had passed, and he remembered the package sent by Maculus after lifting his spirits a little. When he opened the package, he found that the items sent by Maculus included a clean set of light armor, a good longsword, and a small bag made of cowhide. Zhang Yang opened the small package and saw that it was 5 bottles of crystal clear elixir! There's a little label on it. This thing had been seen in the Silver Pegasus Legion before, and it was a healing potion made by an alchemist. In the Silver Pegasus Legion, he had only seen more than a dozen bottles of such healing potions! I heard that the production requirements are very high, and the materials are scarce, and the price is very expensive. But the effect is very good. I've heard that a bottle of secondary healing potion can be sold for 2 gold coins in the Pharmacy.
(Gold coins: The most widely circulated currency in the mainland, each gold coin is about 10 grams.) Generally, one gold coin is equivalent to 100 silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for 100 copper coins. On top of the coins, there are more valuable crystals and cores. The Demon Core comes from a Demonic Beast of the 2nd order and above, and it is a substance that stores energy essence, and the price is very high. Crystals are rare magical minerals. )
Usually, as long as the general skin and flesh injuries and sword wounds do not hurt the muscles and bones, they only need to take a bottle of primary treatment potion and bandage it, and they can be basically healed within one day. Intermediate healing potions, on the other hand, are rarely seen in the Potion Shop, and their prices are also very volatile, usually above 10 gold. Again, the effect is a bit stronger than the primary healing potion. But it's only less than half the strength. Such a valuable medicine is indeed in short supply, and sure enough, life is the most precious. I heard that the high-level healing potion can only be seen in the auction house, and the price will be at least 200 gold coins, and it is only high, not low, and many times it is still priceless, and it is said that the effect is that it can be drunk again within 2 leaks to restore all ** injuries except for the severed limb. Mei Li told Zhang Yang that his salary in the army was 50 silver coins per month, and his income was already at the rank of a junior officer. The food that an ordinary commoner's family of five can sustain a day is only 40 copper coins! It can be seen that healing potions are expensive. Now, in front of Zhang Yang are 5 bottles of intermediate healing potions! Maculus, you are indeed a thoughtful person...... As a bottle of intermediate healing potion was slowly drunk by Wright. Zhang Yang only felt a burst of coolness quickly dissipate in his limbs, and his spirit immediately improved a lot. After relaxing for a while, Zhang Yang frowned again, it turned out that Wright had already used the ability to recover electrical energy in order to treat his injury as soon as possible! Guide the weak current to stimulate your body, ** increase the recovery ability by 300%! With the expected sour, tingling and itching sensation, Zhang Yang obviously felt that his body was gradually getting better under the effect of potions and abilities...... Involuntarily raised his eyes to look at the city of Jotham, not far away. Zhang Yang thought silently in his heart: Ophelia, Merry, and the friends of the Silver Pegasus Legion...... What happened in the city of Jotham............
At this time, Ophelia and the warriors of the Silver Pegasus Legion sat silently in the open space in the barracks, their weapons guarded vigilantly and uneasily by the confiscated people. On the outskirts of the barracks, a small group of hoplites and a large group of archers were already firmly guarding the exits! The soldiers were silent, angry, and helpless......
Ophelia's heart couldn't hide her shock and confusion. Before, in the city, she was restrained when she was slightly relieved to see Wright defeat the Four Knights! At that moment, silently, a long black and blue dagger was put around her neck! An Assassin slowly emerges! Able to sneak among the crowd silently.,And in one fell swoop to restrain yourself as an intermediate jockey.。 Ophelia guessed by feeling that the strength of that assassin was probably at the level of a 5th-order intermediate and close to the level of a high-level professional!! An assassin at the pinnacle of gold!? One step away from entering the platinum level and becoming a powerhouse that all countries compete to invite! This man must not be an obscure fellow! However, if you think about it carefully, a dark blue tight-fitting leather armor and headscarf completely block everyone's line of sight, and it also perfectly hides your true identity. A group of warriors dressed in black armor then surrounded the crowd and ordered them to surrender until they were imprisoned...... It's not a spur of the moment! This is a conspiracy that has been brewing for a long time! Could it be...... Where was Fiya taken by those black-armored warriors again? Maybe she knows something...... Ophelia's white brows furrowed tightly into a Sichuan character. She felt as if some important clue had been overlooked......
That's right! Fiya's husband! The master of this city of Jotan, Count Markarn-Piat! Where did this person go? Although we don't usually have much contact, it stands to reason that he should always come out to meet me when I visit, right......
The battle began anyway.
A rain of arrows poured down from the city, striking the towers and shields erected by the Earth Dragon Legion, making a dense clanging sound. The huge siege dragon cannon moved slowly but firmly towards the city gate under the support and protection of the Earth Dragon Legion. In the rear of the Earth Dragon Legion, several catapults were also pushed to the position. Began to suppress the archers on the walls of the city of Tan. The walls of the city of Jotham were nearly 10 meters high, and with the battlements and arrow towers, they were about 12 meters high. It's all made of large pieces of green bricks. Each brick is the size of a grinding disc. The battle began to heat up. The people above the city of Jotam knew that once the siege dragon hammer reached the city gates, the defense of the city walls would be completely meaningless! On the one hand, the title of the city breaker is due to the bravery of Makalus, but more importantly, it comes from this siege dragon hammer!
As the Earth Dragon Legion slowly approached, the Earth Dragon Legion's catapult also entered the effective firing range. Between the flint arrows, people kept falling from the city walls, and the soldiers of the Earth Dragon Legion were constantly falling from the arrows, and some were nailed to the ground and wailed or were wounded and dragged away by their comrades...... Blood flowers and arrows dance together, and stumps fly with flints! Chaotic shouts of blows rose to the sky! …… This is war!!
