"It's a real shot."

Seeing the iron horses around him gradually disappear towards the distant horizon, Duan Qing, who was smiling and shaking his hands, put away his exaggerated farewell posture with a relaxed face, and the slightly cool autumn breeze also slowly gathered with the figures of several people from the Qingling Adventure Group, passing above their bleak-looking backs: "Whew...... It feels like my heart is going to jump out. ”

"Next time you encounter something like this, remember to let me know in advance." Behind him, Gedmayne's equally tired voice sounded: "At least let me be mentally prepared - I thought I was really going to fight this group of full-level high-ranking soldiers just now." ”

"I'm the busiest, okay, I'm going to have to sneak out when they don't find out, and then sneak back when they don't." Xue Lingphantom Bing also pointed to his chest: "Fortunately, you didn't run too far, and you were blocked on the street by the guards of the Hulun clan, otherwise it might have been really too late." ”

"It's in time, no matter what." Duan Qing shook his head with a wry smile: "Do you really think that Nahia is a vegetarian?" She has been able to hide in this Hulun tribe for so long, and she must have her own way to hide her whereabouts. ”

"What?" So Xue Ling, who raised her arms, looked at each other with slanted eyes: "Didn't you hide her just now?" We bought you so much time in vain? ”

"Anyway, I managed to shove the invisibility potion into her hand." Hurriedly patting his chest, Duan Qing put on a look and posture of inviting merit and reward: "Although the method and principle of light and shadow refraction are very simple, and the magic fluctuations produced are also very obvious, but it should be enough to conceal Mo Bei's hands and eyes, in order to prevent the existence of insiders in their team, I deliberately let him in alone——"

"You just said you gave it to her with your own hands?" Interrupting Duan Qing's words, Gedmayne on the side then looked at the gray-robed magician's face with strange eyes: "Don't say that the entire tent is surrounded, I didn't even notice that someone had sneaked inside and outside the tent, how did you get in?" ”

"Well, of course, I used some methods that only I know about." Scratching his cheeks, Duan Qing tried to perfunctory this question with a dry smile: "Although the level is not enough, it is still easy to do the simple construction and replication of the magic array—hmm." ”

Duan Qing, who stopped his words and noticed something, suddenly turned his head, and the weak and slender figure belonging to Nahia then appeared in front of Duan Qing and the others under the twilight illumination, and the action of lifting the door curtain also vaguely revealed a look of loss that was difficult to hide: "I...... Am I causing you trouble again? ”

"If this kind of thing can really be called trouble." Shrugging his shoulders, Duan Qing, who was the first to step forward, then also showed his kind smile: "Don't worry, things that are much more troublesome than your current are that our adventure group has experienced countless times in the past, rather than worrying about whether we have the ability to continue to provide you with shelter, it is better to find out how the people of the Hulun tribe learned about this news is more realistic." ”

"yes, how did they know that? And is it still so named and accurate? Could it be that there is an inner ghost reporting to the other party? ”

"Sure enough, it's a glorious tradition of 'no one is blacking anyone', but I don't think it's likely, let me say it, but I think it's more likely that the coachman who racked his brains to throw the pot at us is a little more likely, after all, he has not seen anything unusual for so long since he threw this burden to us, and anyone will feel uneasy in their hearts——"

"That, that."

The cowardly voice sounded weakly in the ears of several players who had just wanted to discuss, accompanied by Nahia's pale face clutching the edge of the tent: "Sure, you better let me go, it's too dangerous for me to stay here......"

"It's not that we disrespect your own ideas and choices, but are you sure you have what it takes to run away and survive alone?" Stopping the incomparably fierce discussion, Duan Qing, who was looking at the other party, pointed to the depths of the grassland where the twilight was deepening: "And at this critical moment? ”

"......" closed her mouth tightly, and Nahia, who didn't know what she was thinking, looked into the depths of the twilight: "What time is it?" ”

"If you look at the sky, it's probably six or seven o'clock, right?" Looking at the sky, Gedmayne then replied casually, "If you are asking about the date, today is the twentieth day of the third month of the year 796 in the new calendar——"

"There's no time."

With her hands clasped in front of her chest, the pitiful-looking black-haired girl suddenly closed her eyes and let out a low cry: "Horse, is it going to start soon?" Without the storm, those 'beast tides'—"

"The time of the beast tide will be advanced, and the people of the Hulun tribe have already said this." Holding down the other party's excited expression, Duan Qing then also covered the shadow of his body in front of the tent: "Those impatient appearances, my companions and I have seen a lot in the past time, but I don't know how long they are willing to give us the last time for the general attack." ”

"No matter when they appear, the Hulun will not stop." Stretching her arms to show a panicked and frightened look, Naxia's expression trembled a lot along with her voice: "They, they must have prepared everything a long time ago, regardless of whether this beast tide will appear or not-"

"They're all going to start that plan."

The sound of a horn faintly came from the twilight sky, and the darkness that drove the sound of the wind seemed to get a little closer with the fall of this sentence, and the quiet atmosphere suddenly descended on the surroundings of the tent with the expressions of Duan Qing and the rest of the people looking at each other, and even the sense of crisis and tension that had not completely dissipated before that moment ago also dispersed a lot at this moment: "This, this is-"

"The signal to start the offensive."

The weak eyes became firm and sharp, and Nahia, who opened her eyes, stared straight in the direction from which the horn came: "It's the West, and the first thing they are going to clean up is the East." ”

"To be prepared?" Slowly shaking his head, Duan Qing's slightly indifferent voice also followed his footsteps and began to move in that direction: "But even so, it should not be far from the Endless Sea, this distance and range, and this scale-"

"It's not easy, let's just take a look." Interrupting the gray-robed magician's words, the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice on the side beckoned his hand and walked forward: "Anyway, we are also the ones who took over the task. “

"If something really goes wrong, we will have time to react."

******************************

Like a sign before a storm is coming, the bright starry sky that should have spread over the grassland is now shrouded in black clouds, and the clash of swords and the neighing of wild beasts are also transmitted little by little in the depths of the grassland where the gray-robed magician is gradually approaching with the arrival and approach of this pitch black. It was already possible to see the cavalry and the Hulun clan's unique wind wing banner appearing under the black sky, and the hurried footsteps belonging to Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice also slowed down a little, and the neighing of the uniform war horses also rose with the sudden rise of loud cheers, and rushed out towards the end of the line of sight illuminated by the torch: "Libei Army!" Offensive! ”

"Kill everyone! Cut everything in front of you! ”

"The Chinese army listens to orders! The second wave of charges is handed over to you, with an interval of fifty and a time of twenty! ”

"Run to the bulls! Ready—"

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves trampling swept away from Duan Qing's eyes for the second time, and some of them also rushed forward like a wild bull at this time, and the heavy armor and sharp sword light also showed boundless momentum in the increasing speed of the black torrent, and soon rushed together with the deep twilight darkness in front of him. Unable to tell what was hidden in the darkness, Duan Qing, who had approached, stared at him for a long time and did not make his own sound, until the roar and shouting from afar were mixed with confusion, and the sound of horses' hooves began to be mixed with a little mournful, and a new shout sounded again in the center of the defense line formed by the long line of cavalry: "Hukedan! ”

"In!"

"Up!"

"Yes!"

After a brief conversation, the back of the burly warrior who had just fought with the snow spirit phantom ice a moment ago, he was already wearing armor and hanging in the array, and at this time he also disappeared into the rolling torrent with another group of cavalrymen who suddenly rushed out of the line, looking at the back of the snow spirit phantom ice couldn't help but touch the hilt of the sword on his waist, but the movement that wanted to move forward was stopped by a soft shout: "Who! Dare to trespass on the Hulun position? ”

"I, we are—"

"Let them come."

The indifferent voice then interrupted the explanation that the soldiers and Duan Qing hurriedly blurted out about to surround them, and the figure of Hu Mobei wearing the same battle armor who was pulling the reins also slowly paced from not far away: "They are now our comrades and comrades-in-arms. ”

"I'm glad you didn't back down, but rushed here as fast as you could."

He waved back the three or two equally heavily armored cavalrymen who were following him, and looked down at Duan Qing and the two of them, and there was also a bit of kindness in their eyes: "I wonder if you have the sincerity and confidence to show us your strength now?" ”

"We've already shown what we're capable of in past missions." Shaking his head, Duan Qing replied calmly: "And judging from the current battle, the addition of our shrimp soldiers and crab generals can probably only get a 'drop in the bucket' evaluation." ”

"Indeed, it is difficult for an untrained adventurer to come in handy in such a battle." Nodding his head, Hu Mobei turned to the end of the black-pressed battle line in front of him and whispered: "If the cooperation can't have an effect, rushing into battle will probably only give away your little life...... Well, let's just stand aside and watch for a while. ”

"The front of the three armies in the north and the south is solid, and it will definitely not collapse at least today." He pointed to the countless cavalry that stretched side by side like the Great Wall to the end of the twilight on the left and right, and replied with a sense of confidence: "As long as you don't cross this line, you are safe now, even if you act at will." ”

"That's kind of the safe zone that the system has set for us." Quietly nodding at Xue Ling Phantom Ice, Duan Qing then replied with a dry laugh: "Well, forget it, we are not very familiar with everyone in the Libei Army now, and without the luck of knowing the Elders, God knows if they will immediately kill us as enemies." ”

"It's really a problem." Pinching his chin and nodding, Hu Mobei, who was looking at Duan Qing from afar, pointed in another direction after a moment of thought with his head down: "That's it." ”

"Didn't you already send a teammate to our defense? You can go and meet him first. ”

The restlessness with the scene of Humobei leading people back to the military formation brought a moment of ripples in this grassland, but the wind that faintly blew around it brought a bit of blood, and Duan Qing, who followed the instructions of the Hulun elder, then also took the snow spirit phantom ice to the side of the position, and soon found the figure of the rising sun in the array: "Yo, one-armed god of war, it looks like it's not bad." ”

"Of course, the sight just made my blood boil." Pinning the long knife in his hand behind him, Asahi Dongsheng, who was staring at the battle formation in front of him, shook his short hedgehog hair at Duan Qing and the others when he heard the voice: "Sure enough, I am still the most suitable for such a battlefield, it is simply too right!" ”

"Hmph, I knew you would say that." In the eyes of the surrounding cavalry who vaguely looked back, Duan Qing unconsciously let out a low laugh: "So how is today's record?" Did you bring a few heads back? ”

"Murder? Our enemies are not simple creatures like humans. Casually greeting the surrounding Hulun warriors, Chao Ri Dongsheng, who shook his head, withdrew his sword and walked towards Duan Qing and the others: "What we have to deal with is a beast!" The most primitive, wild, and violent enemy in the nature of the steppe! You should-"

"How?"

The distance was shortened, and the conversation between the two people relaxed in an instant, and the content of the conversation between Duan Qing and Asahi Dongsheng also changed in an instant: "Did you find anything abnormal?" ”

"Aside from the content of the quest that has already surprised us before, we haven't found anything more worth seeing yet." Asahi Dongsheng, who was pinching his throat, quietly replied: "But there are still anomalies. ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

"They still carried something like the Wind Stone."

Quietly pointing to his chest, Chao Sun Dongsheng stretched out his hand to the Hulun cavalry who were standing in front of him.

"And everybody brought it."
