New Blood Gift
Hanzhou North Continent, Shuofeng Plain.
A few days ago, the hussars stationed in Shuofeng Yuan cooperated with several Wusa sent by the Great Wusa to gather craftsmen to build a large open-air altar.
On the boundless Shuofeng Plain, this newly built altar stands proudly in the middle of heaven and earth, with a majestic head and horns, and is thousands of feet away from each other.
The material of this altar is excellent, the scale is large, and the workmanship is fine, which should be the most of the new blood altars of the successive generations.
On the day of the new blood ceremony, 300,000 iron horsemen with the altar as the center formed a large circle like a plough and swept outward, martial law for more than ten miles, and was stationed and guarded in an orderly manner under the leadership of the autonomous generals.
The entire 300,000 iron horsemen looked solemn, wore armor, rode their horses upright, and raised their heads one by one and looked in the same direction.
The 300,000 cavalrymen were uniformly dressed in black armor, and the only sign that distinguished them was the different pattern emblems on their chests, and the straight military flags that were raised high in the air and pulled by the gale.
More than a dozen different military flags are planted on the ground like a large circle node, and the 300,000 black-armored iron horsemen under it are clearly distinguished, and there is no miscellaneous at all.
The 300,000 black-armored iron horsemen clenched the scimitar in their hands, their bodies were stiffly straight, without a trace of superfluous and chaotic movements, and the battle intent of the sky was tightly entangled, like a hurricane hitting the Great Snow Mountain in the North.
It collided most directly with the desolate and solemn meaning between the vast Hanzhou heaven and earth, and the white clouds that hung high in the secluded sky of the Northern Continent were only the slightest line.
The closer you get to the great circle of 300,000 black-armored iron horsemen, the thinner and thinner the air around you becomes, as dignified as the Nine Shades of the Sea, and you dare not and cannot breathe.
There is only that circle of black in the vast world, which is extremely conspicuous, mighty, and iron-blooded.
How magnificent! Today, I have 300,000 heroes on the Iron Horse, and I want to compete with the Heavenly Princess.
How magnificent! Today, I have a scimitar of 300,000 people, and I dare to call the sun and the moon to change the sky.
As soon as the gorgeous carriage driving slowly with nine horses landed in the hinterland of Shuofeng Plain, the 300,000 Hanzhou iron horsemen who were more than ten miles away around the altar were the first to see it, and everyone's eyes were hot.
A team of Yulin armor soldiers and shadow tents escorted the most noble carriage and cautiously drove from south to north to the altar, behind them were the mighty Shuofeng nobles, the civil and military officials, and a Shuofeng people who could not hide their joy.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
The first time he saw the gorgeous carriage again, the 300,000 Shuofeng Iron Horsemen, who were waiting for the solemn to the extreme, made the same action in a neat manner.
Clenched his fists and closed his arms, put them on his chest, and vigorously smashed the iron armor on his left chest, this was a military salute, and none of the 300,000 people made the slightest mistake.
In this world, the cold north wind can not be heard, and the great sun hanging in the dome can no longer be seen, only the earth-shattering sound of beating the chest.
The crowd of people accompanying the carriage, among them the dignitaries and nobles, and the big family names, were all shocked when they saw it, how could they have seen such a terrifying military might, and everyone was sweating profusely for a while, and their hearts were beating extremely fast.
Especially the big families in the city who have recently had dealings with the five big families who have been destroyed, all of them are trembling, and they are lucky not to be implicated! Otherwise, they and others would be able to see such a vast scene today? I'm afraid it's just dry bones in the grave!
And the people of Shuofeng who accompanied him, after seeing this scene, everyone looked proud, and they were already very excited when they looked up, look, this is my Shuofeng Iron Horse, this is my Shuofeng Department!
Azule sat lazily in the car, but was startled by the deafening sound of iron armor outside the car, and secretly lifted a corner curtain to look out.
As far as the eye can see, there are burly and well-dressed black-armored cavalrymen, the scimitars on the iron armor on their waists are all glowing with cold brilliance, everyone's faces are solemn and solemn, but between their eyes they are extremely fanatical, and their right hand is smashing the iron armor on their left chest, but there is no sound in their mouths.
"Abba! This is...", although Azule's face changed only briefly, the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed, and he muttered in his mouth.
"Military salute! This is the noblest etiquette of the Shuofeng Cavalry! ”
The Shuofeng Maharaja, who looked indifferent, opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised, and said warmly.
"Why, were you so surprised that you couldn't speak!" Looking at the surprised appearance of Azule's lips moving slightly, the Lord of the Wind said playfully.
"I just didn't expect my Celestial Iron Rider to be so, so, well, spectacular!"
Azule put down the curtain in a daze, he had never seen the scene in the past fifteen years, and he was thinking about what words to use to describe it, but he couldn't find the right words in his mind for a long time, and finally finally held back the word spectacular.
"Hahaha, how can I say that I am a great wind iron rider just by the word spectacular!
You are still young, but you have never seen the iron-blooded fierceness of these 300,000 iron horsemen charging through the enemy's formation.
I have never seen these 300,000 people riding their horses and wielding knives in high spirits, and I have never seen these 300,000 people just stretching their hands and stabbing them, and I don't know how many heads have smashed to the ground.
You, you haven't seen these 300,000 people! ”
After listening to what Azule muttered, the Lord of Shuofeng suddenly laughed, pointed his fingers at Asoul, and said heroically, in the end, the Lord of Shuofeng, whose sideburns were already a little gray, also showed deep reminiscence in his eyes, and his voice gradually lowered.
Azule looked at Abba, who was suddenly in high spirits just now, and saw Abba's last muttering, and for a while, he didn't know what kind of emotions were born in his heart, but he felt that the person in front of him seemed to have collapsed.
"Abba, I'll see you! I will watch them with my own eyes, charge at rein, and kill the enemy with their horses! Look at me with my own eyes, and bow to me in all directions! ”
Asur raised his originally lowered head suddenly, looked at the Lord of the Wind in front of him, and said categorically.
"Hahaha, good! Good! Okay! The revenge of the tenth generation can still be avenged! Do everything in front of him, no matter what happens behind him! ”
The Lord of the Wind, who had quietly seemed to be bent over, looked moved after hearing what his son said in his ear, his lips trembled slightly, and he looked at Azule and said with a smile.
"Do you know why no matter how dangerous my situation is, no matter how tragic the battle is, these 300,000 people will never retreat, everyone will die, everyone will move forward, until the battle is over!"
The Lord of the Wind slowed down, staring at Azule with lion-like eyes and asked.
"But my martial arts are harsh! If one person retreats, one will die! If you retreat, you will die! If a team retreats, one will die! If the first guard retreats, he will kill the main general! ”
"Hahaha, if the army is only strict, it will be a small boat in the angry sea, and there will be capsizing at any time! Again! ”
"But I treat the soldiers with great grace, and if one person in the family joins the army, he will be taxed lightly, exempted from conscription, and if he dies in battle, his family will give him ten gold, ten cattle and sheep!"
After Azule finished speaking, he looked up at his father, only to see the Lord of the Wind leaning back slightly, nodding and smiling.
"When it comes to governing the army, you have already realized a little bit just now, but in fact, it is just enough to eat enough soldiers, to believe in rewards, to believe in punishments, to give grace and power, and to give up and down.
I once said that high-ranking officials only need to exchange their military merits, and good men's fame is only taken from the horse!
It is precisely because I am a man who has no military merits and cannot be an official or be generous, so every time I fight, everyone seeks to move forward and earn military merits.
In addition, I have established a strict military law, standardizing the rewards and rewards in the army, no one dares to be greedy for military merits, and everyone is clear in their hearts, so the war is brave!
Third, I treat the soldiers well, and I now know the name, characteristics, and home situation of every general and above who is standing outside.
The first priority of everyone in the shadow account is to be responsible for supervising the affairs of the military families in their own area, and if there is a little injustice, the perpetrator will be immediately arrested and dealt with with with severe torture law!
The war dead have generous pensions, treat their children and heirs, Tiefu Tu White Wolf Cavalry and other troops, and it is the father who died and the son replaced, and the brother died and the brother died!
People are never afraid of death, as long as they can die more worthwhile, I should have this opportunity for them now!
That's why I'm able to ride the grassland and dominate the North Continent for more than ten years.
Because, of these 300,000 people, everyone is not afraid of death, and everyone seeks death in battle.
This is 300,000 wolves that I raised with my own hands! Do you know it now? Why do I have such prestige in the army, although the wolf is ferocious, but he knows the Lord! ”
In the end, the Lord of Shuofeng stared at Azule with a pair of eyes, his face flushed, his tone was impassioned, and he said domineeringly.
Azul's heart was shaken, his mouth slightly open and stared at Abba in front of him like a tiger, and he was speechless for a long time.
"Let's go, let these 300,000 wolves meet their new wolf king!"
The carriage had reached the outside of the great circle formed by the Shuofeng cavalry, and immediately a cavalry opened a gap to make way for the crowd behind the carriage and carriage.
Azul's heart fluctuated, thinking carefully about what Abba said before, and hearing the stronger sound of iron armor smashing his chest in his ears, the Shuofeng Lord on Asoul's side laughed loudly and said heroically.
Before Azule could answer, he was pulled out of the carriage by the Lord of the Wind, who suddenly got up.
Looking at the majestic figure in the black dragon robe who lifted the curtain in the carriage, the fanatical color in the eyes of 300,000 people increased a little more for a while, and the sound of smashing the chest was overwhelming like a wave.
Azule's eyes narrowed slightly, his body couldn't help but quietly straighten, and his face was as usual, but Shuofeng Dajun was amused in his heart, this kid was obviously extremely nervous, and even his hands began to clench.
"Maharaja, there are many people, and it is extremely dangerous, please go back to the car, and it is not too late to come forward when you get to the altar."
The commander of the Yulin armor on the side couldn't help but tremble when he saw the Shuofeng Lord taking the prince out of the car, and hurriedly stepped forward and leaned over and said.
"Hahaha, ridiculous! Where the danger is! Step back and enjoy my mighty military power with me! ”
Seeing the resolute look on the face of the Lord Shuofeng, the commander had no choice but to retreat with a wry smile.
There were two figures on the carriage, one big and one small, one dragon and one python, two black and red robes, how similar they were, they all looked up and swept around, and smiled.
Is that how it feels?
Azule's clenched hand gradually loosened in a few breaths, and he secretly thought in his heart that looking at everything in front of him was so fascinating.
At this time, the carriage had slowly driven into the large circle formed by the black-armored cavalry, and the black-armored cavalry near the carriage was close in front of them, and their expressions were still so solemn and sacred.
Some people were already covered with blood on their fists and left breastplate because of too much force, but they didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and their faces didn't change, and they even added a little strength to smash down.
Azule couldn't help but look at the majestic figure standing in front of him, and secretly admired, the king should be like this!
"Are you afraid, Azul?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"With such a 300,000 tiger and wolf army, everyone doesn't know how much blood there is on their hands, why not be afraid!"
"I am their king, their scimitars will never swing at me, they will protect me, and they will drive me forward!"
"As it should be! As it should be! Order, stop! ”
Seeing that Asule swore and said, he laughed loudly, my Shuofeng boy should have this courage, and then commanded the shadows accompanying him around the carriage.
"The Maharaja has an order! Stop! ”
"Maharaja's order, stop!"
"Order! Stop! ”
After the accompanying shadows puffed out their chests and roared three times, then the surrounding cavalry soldiers first rested their right hands and put down their arms together, and at the same time shouted to their surrounding comrades, making sounds one after another, and then without more than a dozen breaths, 300,000 people were already on their hands to rein in their horses, and the whole world was extremely quiet.
"Hahaha, how powerful my Shuofeng army is!"
Seeing that he could order a ban in just a few breaths, the Lord laughed and turned his head to praise the accompanying guards.
Immediately, the Lord of Shuofeng sat cross-legged at the front of the car, and Azule also sat cross-legged opposite each other when he saw this, and the father and son looked at each other and smiled.
The 300,000 Shuofeng Iron Riders did not emit a trace of confusion, and quietly shifted their gaze to watch the carriage arrive at the central altar.
As the carriage got closer and closer to the magnificent altar in the center, Azule couldn't help but sigh at this miraculous handiwork, but when he saw the white-haired figure in the distance, he couldn't help but frown.
"Stop!"
The carriage slowly stopped, and Azul saw the Great Witch walking quickly towards him, and hurriedly dodged to hide behind Abba.
"Welcome the king and the prince to the altar!"
Azule couldn't help but have a big head, and at this point he began to have the most headache part, starting from this get out of the car and walk.
According to the instructions of the Great Witch, he had to take a full two hundred and eighty-eight steps in this journey, not too big or small, no more than one step and one less step, until he reached the altar.
"New Blood Ceremony!"
Azule took a slow step under the watchful eye of the Great Witch on the side, and the Lord Shuofeng who saw this scene couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and strode forward.
Azule looked at the fast-walking Abba in front of him, and his heart was secretly hateful, at this time, the dignitaries and nobles in the ministry, and the big family names were all present at this time, and they were staring at Azule with a sneering face.
"Forget it, let's go! I've practiced it a few times! ”
When Azul finally adjusted his pace, and took no more than a few steps to the altar, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the voice of the old man beside him.
"Cheer up for the new son!"
The altar is six stories high, with a length and width of dozens of zhang, standing majestically on the endless Shuofeng Plain, just like the human incarnation of the wild immortal heaven overlooking the living beings of Hanzhou on the horizon from ancient times to the present.
The festival platform is surrounded by crowds of spectators, and everyone is vying to look at the situation on the altar.
Although the crowd is dense, those standing at the forefront are still the dignitaries and powerful people in the thirteen cities of Shuofeng City, followed by the Shuofeng elders who came to watch the ceremony.
And the Lord of the Wind was like a tiger and a dragon plate on the sixth floor of the altar, squinting at Azule under the stairs with his head tilted.
"Welcome, add new blood to the son!"
The old and white-haired Great Witch stood on the round platform in the center of the six-story altar, trembling and roaring in the howling north wind of the cold Hanzhou.
"Zheng!"
Near the altar, Wusa had solemn eyes and solemn faces, and rang the bronze bell beside him, and the bell rang in the air for a long time, refreshing people's hearts.
After the bell rang, Azul slowly walked to the center of the altar, stood in front of the great witch, and knelt solemnly.
"The prince undresses!"
Witch, who was serving on the side, immediately strode forward, lightly untied the black and red python robe that Azul was wearing, and made Azul kneel on the ground bare-chested.
"Welcome blood!"
Another bell rang, and the Great Witch's thin body became thinner and thinner in the wind, almost standing still, but Ren stepped forward and stretched out his right hand, covered with old spots, to caress the top of Azul's head.
I saw more than a dozen strong men divided into two teams and climbed the ladder in turn, their steps were extremely solemn, their expressions were solemn, and one group of people held a dying brown elk in their hands, which was actually bigger than the one that Azule had hunted at the beginning.
The other team struggled to hold a strong white wolf with a snow-white body, and the two teams slowly walked to Azule's side, one left and one right, and also knelt down heavily.
"Take blood!"
The eyes of the great witch were extremely deep, and after he finished speaking, he took the sharp black long blade handed over by the witch who served on the side, and the blade was covered with patterns, and there were spots of dried blood in between, and some ancient inscriptions that he couldn't understand.
Azule knelt on the spot and didn't move, the Great Witch had simply told himself what steps would be taken, but he didn't tell himself in detail how to do it, and Azule had to wait inwardly now.
The Great Witch Sa picked up his snow-colored long sleeves and held the black long blade, half-kneeling in front of the brown dying elk, his lips trembling slightly and whispering some harsh ancient barbarian words, with a solemn expression.
On the other side, Wu Sa also prostrated himself and held up a large bowl with blue glaze, which was also covered with mysterious patterns.
After the Great Witch finished groaning, his closed eyes suddenly widened, and his right hand with a long black blade pierced the elk's heart like a bolt of lightning.
I saw that the brown elk immediately looked painful, and its four hooves wanted to struggle, but it couldn't escape the dead confinement of the wrestler.
The big witch sa held the black long blade in his hand like a dragon, but the wound did not splash a trace of blood, but when the fiery face of the witch sa held the jade bowl and put it under the long blade, the big witch sa gently flicked the long blade, and there was a stream of blood like red jade Juanjuan flowed out.
"You are the son of the steppe of the Coiled Tartar Heavenly God, please use your blood to give us the agility and agility of the Immortal Heaven!"
The Great Witch threw himself on the ground with his hands upward, as if he had lifted something high and drank reverently.
When the Great Witch was half-kneeling in front of the white wolf again, he reached out and held a snow-white dagger covered with strange patterns, closed his eyes and whispered, and then another knife was inserted into the heart of the white wolf.
