Chapter 12 Snow Mountain Dragon (Ask for Recommendation and Collection)
After Sikong Qiang and Rou'er each got the strongest skills, they happily returned to the City Lord's Mansion as fast as possible.
It just so happened that the City Lord Gu and the Venerable Treading Cloud and the Rainbow Mage were discussing things, and Sikong Qiang told the story of this trip, and the City Lord Gu, the Venerable Treading Cloud and the Rainbow Mage were very happy, thinking that it was very important to repel the attack of the orcs.
Sikong Qiang asked about the reinforcements of the Shenlong Empire again, and the city lord Gu said: "The Shenlong Empire has decided to send 20,000 imperial soldiers to support our Beech, and led by the dragon guard.
At the foot of the Snow Mountain of the Shenlong Empire, 20,000 soldiers of the Shenlong Empire are climbing over the snowy mountain, from beginning to end, it looks like a long dragon, and the wind and snow are falling down, making the snow-capped mountain in front of you even more towering and unable to see the top, as if going deep into the sky.
Long Wei was walking in the middle of the team, a burly, powerful and intelligent middle-aged man, his eyebrows were tightly locked, as if there was something difficult to decide, and the lieutenant next to him led a horse and walked with Long Wei.
Since the Dragon Empire decided to support Beech Province, the King of the Dragon Empire decided to send 20,000 soldiers led by the Dragon Guard, although many courtiers opposed it, because the empire was engaged in a protracted struggle with the Frost Empire of countless alien races, and was also facing harassment from the Orcs and the brave barbarians, but at the insistence of the Imperial Prime Minister, it was decided to support Beechcraft, because Beech Province is also the territory of the Empire, and the Beechcraft people are also the subjects of the Empire, although Beechcraft is far away from the border.
The adjutant general asked: "Lord Longwei, this snow has not stopped for 3 days, and the soldiers will not be able to bear it if it goes on like this, do you want to let the soldiers take a break?" Long Wei pondered for a moment and said, "No, we can only rest when we go to the Snow Mountain Tunnel, otherwise we won't be able to supply grain and grass. Be sure to arrive at the Snow Mountain Tunnel before dark.
The lieutenant general took the order and left. As the Imperial soldiers advanced, the procession slowly entered the snow-capped mountainside, and due to the wind and snow, the road was muddy after being trodden by horses, and many soldiers fell due to cold and fatigue.
The leader of the dragon guard was very sad to see that the soldiers were sleepy and tired, but he clearly knew: "If you rest now, consume grain and grass, and wait until you enter the snow-capped mountain tunnel, if you wake up the fire dragon, then the whole army may be wiped out." Thinking of this, Long Wei sighed and said, "Maybe this is the sacrifice that has to be made for the sake of the empire!"
The march continued, the wind and snow continued to rage relentlessly, the soldiers kept falling, and after some suffering, the team finally reached the door of a tunnel. I saw that this tunnel was no more than two people high, and there were two permanent lights on both sides, which emitted a dim light, and the tunnel was bottomless.
Long Wei ordered the number of people to be counted, and found that 2,000 soldiers had been lost during this journey, although Long Wei was bleeding in his heart, he still ordered the troops to set up tents, bury pots and cook, rest for one night, and tomorrow morning, through the snow-capped mountain tunnel.
Early the next morning, Long Wei gathered his soldiers and prepared to pass through the snow mountain tunnel, Long Wei first sent 100 soldiers in the advance team to investigate the situation and make sure that there was no problem, and then the large army advanced.
So, the 100 soldiers entered the snowy mountain tunnel under the leadership of the captain, and came back about an hour later to report that there was basically no problem except for the signs of collapse in some places found halfway. Long Wei thought for a while and ordered the whole army to march forward and approach the snowy mountain tunnel. Long Wei led the team in the Chinese army.
The team set off, because the snow-capped mountain tunnel is very narrow, it can only accommodate one person, and the tunnel is pitch black, you need to bring torches to pass, and the road twists and turns and there are several exits in some places. The biggest danger is that legend has it that there is a dragon that is sleeping, and if you wake up this dragon, the tunnel will collapse due to the dragon's wrath, and everyone will be buried in the tunnel.
As the team continued to move forward, Long Wei guessed that the team had entered the middle of the tunnel, when suddenly there was a noise in front of them, as if the sound of a soldier was frightened. Long Wei and the lieutenant general walked forward quickly, and suddenly heard the sound of the dragon's groan, as if a sweet person had been awakened by a sweet sleep.
Long Wei hurriedly ordered the soldiers to slow down and be quiet, only to hear the dragon's voice as if it was full of anger, as if it was about to have a seizure. After a while, I don't know why I stopped again and continued to fall asleep.
The dragon guard and the soldiers finally put their minds at ease, they didn't dare to be loud anymore, they all walked cautiously, preferring to walk slowly rather than wake up the dragon.
In the Marfa world, the dragon is the symbol of guarding the Marfa continent, the protector of the Marfa continent, with the ability to destroy the world, is the representative of the gods, and the representative of the devil Akatsuki is fighting to the death. However, with the passage of time and the influence of evil forces, some dragons became evil, and humans had to fight against dragons, and it took a lot of strength to seal the dragons in the snowy mountains.
However, with the passage of time, the seal has shown signs of weakening in recent years, and there are even rumors that the dragon will break the seal and harm the world.
When Long Wei and the soldiers were passing through the snowy mountain tunnel in a worried mood, some soldiers in front of them were in trouble, it turned out that there were three exits in front of them, one in the middle, one on the right, and one on the left.
Which exit do you take? This is a problem for the captain of the soldiers, will some of the exits be dangerous? Do you go through one exit together, or do you send someone to each exit? This is a question and the key is to remove the danger for the troops behind .
Thinking of this, he decided to send 10 soldiers at each exit to explore the way and make markers, limited to half an hour, and come back to report the situation regardless of the outcome. If there is a road in front of the normal back, go deeper, and so on until you determine whether the road is dangerous or not, and then send someone to report to the rear troops and let them take the right path.
As a result, after a long wait, at the cost of 20 soldiers, I finally found that the right road was the right way, and the other two were dead ends, and a large number of poisonous snakes were encountered on one road, and they were all bitten to death by poisonous snakes; The other way is to be gassed.
After nearly a day of hard work and the lives of hundreds of soldiers, the soldiers of the Shenlong Empire led by Long Wei finally passed through the snow-capped mountain tunnel and set off for the next location without alarming the Shenlong.
In that wasteland desert, there are bones of ancient dragons everywhere, and in this vast continent where there is almost no grass, there is a city covered by wind and sand, this is the desert earth city, which became a halfway supply station for reinforcements from the Shenlong Empire after the arrival of the soldiers of the Shenlong Empire.
