Chapter Thirty-Eight: Who Belongs to the Heroes?
On the vast land, rolling yellow dust is flying, like a tornado covering the sky, on the rugged mountain road, a war horse is winding and walking, on the edge of the steep cliff, rolling down the gravel all the way, on this side is the mountain wall, on the other side is the abyss, on the rugged sheep farm path, a group of people wearing rattan armor and wearing long knives at their waists, are galloping. The battle had begun, before dawn a few days earlier. The most brutal war in the history of the Japanese slave kingdom began, erupting without warning, like a volcano that had been dormant for a long time, suddenly erupting.
This was a war that broke out suddenly, and the forces of the monarch's family suddenly attacked from all sides, frantically attacking the forces of the Egen daimyo closest to him with lightning speed. The newly appointed general of the protector of the country, mysteriously appeared in this war, this is also the first time that the general who was called the general of the Japanese slave country appeared in the sight of the Japanese slave people, before this no one knew where this brave and incomparable general came from, who was the person, but his bravery on the battlefield completely shocked the entire Japanese slave country, no one dared to believe that there would be such a strong person in this world.
Although the strength of the Jiangyuan daimyo's men is not the most powerful, but relying on the power of the terrain, this daimyo, who has only 20,000 horses, has become the most powerful one after the current five major forces of the Uno country. Retreat can be defended. Therefore, no matter which force it is, it will not provoke him lightly. Because this is a thankless task, you can't eat mutton. No one will do anything to make a fuss.
On a bleak autumn night, the morning star hung high in the sky, shining under the cold starlight, the moon was dim, only a crescent moon like a willow eyebrow was crumbling in the western sky, and in the dense jungle, a team of men and horses were hurrying, they were wearing rattan armor. The boots under their feet were also wrapped in a thick layer of linen, and all of them had only one pair of eyes exposed, and their deerskin-gloved hands clutched the hilt of the long knife at their waist, and crawled from jungle to jungle. The leaves rustled in the autumn wind, perfectly masking the sound they made between their actions, and between the mountains, this group of tightly wrapped soldiers quietly approached Sugihara Ryukaze Castle, which the Egen Daimyo regarded as the biggest barrier. The walls of this castle are high and thick, and they stand in the gap between two mountains. It is a famous city of passes. Xiongguan, which is known as the one that never falls, because it has resisted the hostile forces attacking the Emoto Daimyo countless times, is stationed here the most elite 10,000 people in the hands of the Egen Daimyo - the Yanagi Raw Assault Brigade.
The mountain is steep, and it is a steep cliff that has been transformed by the Egen daimyo for many years. It is a natural obstacle, and no army dares to climb such a steep mountain, and it will be very dangerous if there are too many people. Because it is difficult to walk on the steep cliff, one person who stumbles will fall off the cliff with many people around him. And even if a small number of elites bypass the mountains, they are still useless. Because Sugihara Ryukaze Castle is a city where you are allowed to enter but not leave, hundreds of steps around the gate near the direction of the enemy force are forbidden areas, as long as someone goes retrograde and approaches the gate on this side, they will immediately kill on the spot. There will not be the slightest emotion to talk about, unless you are a member of the Yanagi Hara Assault Brigade, or you have a document from the name of the Egen daimyo to get close to LĂŹ.
But on this night, a group of uninvited guests, came to this Buluo Xiong Pass, they want to conquer the most powerful pass of a Japanese slave country with their own actions, everyone's eyes are shining with a strong thirst for victory, to capture such a city, for a soldier, is the supreme glory, so this time the monarch summoned them, and explained the purpose, everyone's hearts of the soldier's sense of glory was completely stimulated, like a chicken blood, There was not a single place in his body that did not feel excited, and he didn't even care whether he could take this Xiongguan Fortress or not, or whether they would die in this operation, because they believed that they would succeed this time.
The dark night is the best cover, a group of people silently approached the towering city wall, this city is worthy of being the most majestic city of the Japanese slave country, even the capital of the Japanese slave monarch does not have such a tall city wall, nearly ten zhang high, on the city wall, the female wall is staggered, the soldiers guarding the city patrol on the city wall, the armor on the body is illuminated by the torches on the city wall, reflecting the light spots, they are wearing iron armor, This is Liu Shengyuan, the most powerful general under the Jiangyuan daimyo, has such courage, and he has such armor for the army in his hands, a set of iron armor is enough to arm three or four rattan armor soldiers, such a high price, so that the people in power of the Japanese slave country feel very painful, so the small island country of the Japanese slave country, can wear iron armor, all of them are super elite.
'Whoosh...... an iron hook was thrown up in a circle by a stout rattan soldier, and with great strength, he threw this iron hook straight to the top of the city wall, if it could be hung on the female wall, then they could climb slowly up by this rope.
A strange sound of '......click' came from the city wall, and then the vine armor soldier under the city wall quietly pulled the rope, stretching straight: "Yo Xi...... Hung up, big good! The rest of the rattan soldiers whispered praise to the stout man, and then a lean fellow, like an ape, began to climb up with a rope......
When the east began to whiten, there was a sudden earth-shattering noise from the gate of Sugihara Liufeng Castle, like a thunderclap and a thunderbolt, which woke up all the people in the city in this instant. Everyone didn't care about getting dressed and ran straight out, because the Japanese slave country is located on the earthquake zone, so there is a possibility that the earth dragon will turn over at any time, and these Japanese slave people have long been accustomed to running out of the house as soon as possible when encountering such a overwhelming situation, and then arrive at the open place to assemble.
But this time, after running out of the house, what they saw was not the earth dragon they had long been accustomed to, but in the direction of the city gate, a fire rose to the sky, and the raging flames burned in the city gate, like the lair of a fire-breathing dragon, and the billowing white smoke was in the slightly white sky, like an evil dragon winding and circling, and the endless fire rose to the sky, illuminating the entire city.
"Yaga...... What's going on? Yanagi also ran out of his mansion, he was dressed quite neatly, wearing two knives around his waist, one long and one short, the scabbard was tied to his belt, the short knife was on the top, and the long knife was on the bottom. His hands were covered with calluses, and he held the hilt of the long knife tightly at this time, and then a pair of narrow eyes stared closely at the city gate that was still burning with flames, and in that direction he felt a strong threat, as if a cold poisonous snake was staring at him in the dark, this feeling had not appeared for a long time, since he slashed the wind of the Yanagi family to the top level, no one could give him such a feeling, at most, there were a few old acquaintances who knew each other well, But everyone is in between, and this time this feeling made him feel the shadow of death.
"Click...... ......A mechanical voice came out in the flames, and a black shadow appeared in the orange flames, like a god coming out of the flames, his steps were so light, and the flames around him surrounded him like his closest companions, guarding him. Every step he took was a crisp echo on the stone slab on the ground. The sound of the footsteps was so clear that it spread throughout Sugihara Ryukaze Castle in the early morning, and it seemed that the ground under his feet was trembling slightly with the footsteps of this man.
"Who are you? ......" Yanagi Hara opened his mouth with difficulty, and he found that when he stared straight at the figure, an invisible oppression was directly pressed on his body like a heavy mountain range, making him feel a little sleepy breathing: what kind of person is this, why is it so powerful? Liu Shengyuan asked in his heart, this figure in the flames was so tall, and there was no one with such height among the group of masters he knew. This is a completely strange powerhouse, and there has not been the slightest rumor before this. This made Yanagi constantly speculate about the origin of the other party in his heart.
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the sound of this crisp into the ears, seems to completely step on everyone's heart, everyone's heartbeat at this moment completely become uniform, on this crowded long street, countless Japanese slave people at this moment feel a strong feeling of depression: it seems that the heart is grabbed by a pair of invisible hands, and then kneaded again and again, and gradually they can hear a voice echoing between the heaven and earth: coo...... Gollum ...... The neat voice gradually became stronger, filling the space between heaven and earth, and as the figure wrapped in flames walked out of the flames, it finally reached its highest point - wearing a cold flame mask on his face, wearing a pitch-black goose feather armor on his body, and his whole body was completely wrapped in armor, leaving only a pair of eyes with endless indifference, like the eyes of an evil dragon staring at everyone present.
"Yaga...... Who are you? Yanagi stood up and shouted loudly, then stepped on the clogs under his feet, his hands were tucked around his waist on the right side, and the whole person rushed over like a galloping rhinoceros. If he doesn't hit this person, he will definitely die today, this is the truest thought in his heart at this time. (To be continued......)
