Chapter 18: Embarking on the Journey
On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, and it is advisable to travel far away!
There is no vast team, no bleak death, some are the expectation of the journey, and the flying of self-confidence.
Chen Jiu'an sat on the body of the Dillon Griffin that had been tamed for a month, showing eagerness and anticipation, the Dillon Griffin was the exclusive mount of the Chen family in Shuzhou, the elite of the clan.
Chen Jiu passed the gold token of the clan competition, and the prize he received from Chen Lingxiao, the fourth uncle in charge of the clan treasury, was the Dillon Griffin Beast.
The eldest brother Chen Fei's mount is also a Dillon Griffon, Chen Jiu has seen it before, and now he also has a ride, when he comes into contact with the Dillon Griffin again, Chen Jiu is still shocked by it, and his infatuation is full of affection.
The Dillon Griffin is a strange beast with the head of an eagle and a lion body, covered with dragon scales, it has the head of a giant eagle, the body of a lion, and a pair of powerful wings on its back.
The eagle is the king of birds, while the lion is the overlord of jungle beasts, Dillon is the legendary sacred beast, and Dillon the Griffon is said to be a hybrid of the three, inheriting all their virtues.
It stretches out its claws, it can easily take away a tall feather horse, it spreads its wings, it can easily form a small whirlwind, it sounds like a suona, can easily pierce the eardrum of the enemy on the opposite side.
Chen Jiu fell in love with the Dillon griffin beast at first sight, and for a month, he accompanied it day and night, and finally completely tamed the Dillon griffin before leaving, and embarked on a journey with its company.
"Let's go!"
According to the clan rules, the people Chen Jiu brought in the trial could only be a hundred guards exclusive to him, and at this moment they had been promoted to his personal guards, and all the personal guards were already equipped with the standard mounts of the Zhenshou Mansion Elite Horse: the Griffin Beast.
On both sides of the saddle of the guard's mount, in the side-by-side storage bags, according to Chen Jiu's requirements, they are equipped with: 100 grenades (currently limited production), a pair of full-body fine armor, a set of warm windbreakers, a pair of goggles, a crossbow, a thousand crossbow arrows, an air cavalry spear, a land combat iron sword, a meteoric iron dagger, a marching sleeping bag, a water bottle, a bag of marching food, spare iron hooks and ropes and other materials.
All the guards were dressed in chain armor, holding reins in their left hands and guns in their right hands, and they sat on griffins, and their momentum was extraordinary. Under the leadership of Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, the commanders of the guards, Chen Jiu was protected, and the group disappeared into the sky.
The howling cold wind hit Chen Jiu head-on, and the clouds surrounded him. The group flew at a low altitude, looking at the cities, outposts, villages, pedestrians, mountains, and lakes that were constantly passing by, and his heart was surging, everything seemed small and great under his feet.
From time to time along the way, there was the sound of interrogation of the patrol Sikong Cavalry taking off into the air, and Zhang Long also stepped forward to negotiate one by one.
Pass, release!
He adjusted his posture slightly, as if he wanted to sit more comfortably, he led the guards, and they had been flying for more than two hours, and their first destination was the Shuguan outpost, which was about two thousand miles away from the town guard city.
Looking at the scenery that kept passing by on the ground, Chen Jiu was still full of interest, the griffin beast was an existence comparable to a signed supercar, if you didn't consider factors such as the griffin eating and resting.
It's easy to travel thousands of miles in a day!
His mount, the Dillon Griffon, traveled even further.
"Young Master, the Shuguan outpost has arrived!" Zhang Long reminded Chen Jiu and the other guards that Chen Jiu and the others had been flying continuously for more than five hours, and they had swept over nearly two thousand miles, and this was the result of everyone deliberately reducing the speed of the march.
After all, after flying for an hour, the griffin beast consumed too much, and it needed to eat and rest before it could fly again, and Chen Jiu and the others also needed to take a break on the way to arrange drinking and eating.
"Who is coming? The knight in the sky, land immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" "At the outpost of Shuguan, the sentry shouted at Chen Jiu and his party.
The crossbows on the city wall clicked and loaded, revealing their dark fangs to choose people to eat, and the guards on the high city walls set up their bows one after another, and they looked vigilant, and the slightest mistake in the pool would surely fly with thousands of arrows and hit the attacking enemy.
"Zhang Long, the town guard of the mansion, is here on business, please go to the city to rest!"
Zhang Long controlled the griffin beast, landed on the ground, held high the token of the town guard, replied loudly, and soon sent someone on the city wall to verify, and after passing, Chen Jiu and his party were allowed to enter the city for repairs.
Chen Jiu walked at the outpost and went to the Yicheng General's Mansion, and through his observation, the outpost Yicheng was completely a barracks.
It is built between two mountain peaks, there are two city walls in the north and south, the city wall is ten miles wide, nearly fifty miles long, the fortifications in the city are complete, the warehouses are numerous, the horse farm is neighing, the military camp is dense, there are 20 battalions of Shuzhou town guard, a total of 20,000 elite soldiers.
This is an important supply city linking Shuguan and Zhenshoufu City, which can resist the incoming enemies from the direction of the Zhenshoufu inward, and can resist the incoming enemies from the direction of Shuguan outward.
The person in charge of the outpost guard, the mighty general, is Chen Ba's fifth brother Chen Lingjun, who guarded the outpost for the family during the winter solstice sacrifice and did not return to the clan.
He had already received orders from Chen Ba and Ninth Uncle Chen Weidao to arrange Chen Jiu and his party, and at the same time rectify the outpost and clean up the rebellious spies.
"Hahaha, Xiao Jiu has grown so big, the fifth uncle can't recognize you! Yes, yes, the spirit is very strong, the body is strong, it is a good material to be a soldier, hahaha......"
Chen Jiu arrived at the Yicheng General's Mansion, and the fifth uncle Chen Lingjun gave him a big hug, and he was extremely enthusiastic.
"Ahem...... cough, can the fifth uncle let go!"
Chen Jiu was very depressed, the people of the Chen family's military and martial arts were so enthusiastic that he couldn't breathe.
"Oh, Xiao Jiu, the fifth uncle has arranged a banquet for you, and you will be picked up and washed away, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return!"
Chen Lingjun pulled Chen Jiu cordially and walked towards the banquet hall, not caring at all about his youth, lack of strength and other problems, he had the momentum of not pouring him down tonight and not giving up.
It was night, staggered, debauched, and Chen Jiu was completely put down. In the early morning of the second day, Chen Jiu got up on time. He rubbed his swollen temples and smiled wryly.
He secretly said in his heart: Drinking, you can't have a hangover in the future, and the original plan to ask the fifth uncle for advice and learn about the information of the alien region has also been delayed.
Drink and make a mistake!
Chen Jiu began to wash, dressed neatly, looking at himself in the bronze mirror, he was slightly stunned, he missed the Meilan Zhuju who guarded the mansion, and Hua Yufangling served him.
It's a pity! Lingyi is gone.
He cleaned up his mood and stepped out of the room, he came to the study of the fifth uncle Chen Lingjun under the leadership of the guards of the General's Mansion, and at this moment Chen Lingjun was already waiting for his arrival in the study.
"Hahaha, Xiao Jiu drinks well, I thought you would have a hangover and sleep until noon......?"
Chen Lingjun watched Chen Jiu step into the study, full of energy, did not show fatigue, and praised loudly.
Chen Jiu ignored the fifth uncle's words of praise and asked out loud: "Fifth uncle, I want to ask you: the alien area I went to this time, the information of the Namei tribe, please let the fifth uncle not hesitate to tell me!"
Chen Lingjun looked at Chen Jiu solemnly, and before he could speak, he waved his hand and asked the guards to be on strict guard around the study, and then said solemnly: "This is not in a hurry! Xiao Jiu, do you know how the Namei Pegasus Knight Squad that attacked you last time arrived in the hinterland of Shuzhou Town?"
Chen Jiu was stunned!
Through the infiltration of the gods, he learned from Andre, the small leader of the Namei clan, that it was with the help of the human race that they could safely enter the hinterland of Shuzhou, which was heavily guarded, but the identity of the other party, Andre was the executor.
I don't know!
Chen Lingjun continued: "It was the traitors in the dynasty who colluded with foreign races and deliberately let them go! Now that the family has conducted a comprehensive inventory of the major military posts, it has been confirmed that the traitors and their henchmen who colluded with foreign races have been confirmed, and today is the time to close the net." ”
"Xiao Jiu, are you willing to lead the guards to clean up the rebellion of the Shuguan outpost?" Chen Lingjun asked in a deep voice after speaking.
"I am willing, I will make them pay the price of blood!" Chen Jiu replied in a calm and firm tone.
Revenge for Lingyi!
Clean up the rebellion for the family!
He is duty-bound!
