Heyang City, the residence of the Huang family.

"Dad, I'm back!"

Huang Luxing rushed into a lobby and shouted at a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man sat behind the desk, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in a yellow dress, not angry and arrogant - it was the patriarch of the Huang family, Huang Song.

Huang Song's eyes moved away from the paperwork in his hand, and glanced at Huang Lu, he didn't have any love for his son, and he scolded him as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Yelling, what a system"

Huang Lu's face was stunned, and he hurriedly adjusted his clothes, and then said with a smile: "Father, the task you gave to the child has been completed." ”

After that, he held a Na Ring, which contained all kinds of medicinal materials that he had purchased. After Huang Song looked at it and nodded, he said in surprise:

"Father, you can't guess what the boy encountered on this trip."

But this father has always been strict, and Huang Lu didn't dare to sell more guanzi, so he hurriedly said the answer with some regret.

"An alchemist!"

Huang Song's complexion finally changed, Heyang City was only a third-level main city, and there were not many alchemists in the city at all, and there was no one who was willing to go to the north with the army.

After all, the status of an alchemist is noble, except for being forced by big forces such as the Nalan family, who is willing to take risks on the battlefield

And Huang Lu deliberately mentioned it at this time......

"Lu'er, is this alchemist willing to go to the north with the army"

Huang Lu nodded heavily, with a smug look on his face, and ran out. He originally had a smile on his face, but when he saw the sadness on Xiao Yan's face, he couldn't bear it anymore and said cautiously:

"That, cousin Xiao Yan, my father wants to meet you......"

Xiao Yan nodded, restrained his sadness, and walked towards the hall. Huang Lu accompanied him, entered and introduced to Huang Song:

"Father, this is Xiao Yan's cousin from the Xiao family in Utan City, and he is also an alchemist."

As he spoke, he also winked at Huang Song. Huang Song knew that Utan City was only a third-level main city, but its reputation was not small, and he was extremely clear about the relationship between the Xiao family and the Nalan family.

Because his wife, the daughter of the alchemy elder of the Nalan family. His Huang family is also the in-law of the Nalan family!

And the young man in front of him, Xiao Yan

He was also thunderous.

"Xiao Yan's nephew, please mourn."

Huang Song sighed, stepped forward and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder very affectionately, and said, "Your eldest brother's revenge, we will definitely take revenge!" ”

Xiao Yan nodded, didn't say anything, just asked in a deep voice, "When will you go north?"

Huang Song was stunned for a moment, and explained: "Xiao Yan's nephew, the army is far from being as far away as traveling alone, and the logistics should be heavy, as well as the route and itinerary to the north, all need to be carefully planned - I will try to be as fast as possible." ”

Xiao Yan nodded and didn't say anything. Huang Song was not angry, the alchemist was a big treasure, especially in times of war......

"This time, the Nalan family has sent a document asking for help to all the in-laws, and your Xiao family should have also received it."

He smiled and said, "Nephew Xiao Yan, maybe when you go to the north, you can still meet your own family." ”

"Lu'er, you send Xiao Yan's nephew to rest first."

Seeing that Xiao Yan was still expressionless, Huang Song was a little helpless. Huang Lu responded and carefully took Xiao Yan out.

The two who clashed as soon as they met, but they didn't expect that they would be distant cousins, and they would go to the battlefield together next, which was really fateful!

The two came to a small courtyard, Huang Lu left, Xiao Yankut sat in the house for a while, and then muttered: "Teacher, you said, why did the eldest brother die?"

"Obviously, when we were separated last time, he was fine, how can he ...... How did he die all of a sudden! ”

Yao Lao floated out of the ring, looked at Xiao Yan a little helplessly, sighed, and said: "The battlefield is dangerous, dead people are too normal, Xiao Yanzi, you have to look away." ”

"Snake people, I must avenge my eldest brother!"

Xiao Yan's face turned hideous, he looked up at Yao Lao, and said hoarsely: "Teacher, we ......"

Yao Lao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Xiao Yanzi, don't be stupid, the snake people have an army of millions, and I can't destroy them by relying on the old man." ”

"If you really want to take revenge, you should honestly follow the Huang family north, and ...... when the time comes"

Yao Lao Ji smiled, his face showed a hint of fierceness, and said in a cold voice: "The old man has a lot of means in his hands, which can improve the combat effectiveness of the army. ”

……

……

The Huang family's army set off five days later, and there were only a few people, just over 1,100 people, including their own clansmen, guards, and recruited mercenaries.

Accompanied by five hundred city defense troops from the City Lord's Mansion. However, the city defense army belongs to the Gama royal family, and the Huang family army belongs to the Nalan allied army, and the two sides are only friendly forces.

Along the way to the north, there were constantly troops joining along the way, either belonging to the royal family, or the Nalan alliance, as well as the alliance belonging to the Mitre family and the Yunlan Sect, which seemed a little chaotic.

After simply assembling in a second-level main city, many chaotic armies were reorganized, and according to the different forces to which they belonged, they were grouped together, and they set off one after another, and the situation was much better.

In this second-level main city, there were more than 8,000 Nalan allied troops such as the Huang Jiajun, all of whom were organized under the command of a captain.

These more than 8,000 people went all the way north and practiced all the way. After a long two-month trek, he finally arrived in the north and came to the station assigned by the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate - Rike City.

According to the regulations of the Gama Military Department, all the passes with more than 10,000 troops are called "cities", more than 5,000 troops are called "passes", more than 1,000 troops are called "fortresses", and less than 1,000 troops are called "Sui".

This shows not only the presence of troops at various passes, but also the importance of the passes.

And Rike City is called "City", which is naturally an extremely important pass. In peacetime, there were 10,000 troops, but at this time, the war was about to start, and the army here reached almost 30,000.

The first to arrive than these 8,000 people was a silver-armored cavalry army of 10,000 people.

In a carriage, Xiao Yan was sitting cross-legged, and as an alchemist, he could naturally ride in the car.

His face was calm, and there was no longer mourning—but it was not gone, but buried deep in his heart.

Once it erupts, it is bound to be earth-shattering. Let the walls of the city crumble, let the rivers be diverted, let the serpents cry, let the desert of Natagor ...... Dead land!

Xiao Yan began to feel hot all over, pulled his neckline, and wanted to go to the battlefield immediately to kill all the snake people.

"Xiao Yanzi, stop the fire, it's fast, isn't it fast."

Yao Lao's deep voice came out of the ring, Xiao Yan nodded silently, but he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out.

There was a wind blowing into the carriage, and the scene in the distance was different from Utan City, and it was also a little different from Stone Desert City, but he didn't care about the scenery, just looked ahead.

Beyond the thousands of soldiers who traveled with him, in the distance, there was a towering mountain range that stretched through the ages, blocking the yellow sands and snake people of Tagore to the north, and blocking his gaze.

And a gap in the mountain range is the pass of a bluestone city wall. The head of the city was hunting with flags, and the city gate was wide open, and a team of men and horses greeted them.

At the head was a delicate figure, riding a tall war horse, dressed in red light armor—he recognized this man at a glance, although he had never seen it before.

"Naran Yanlan...... How are you here?"

The girl looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of her, and she was also puzzled in her heart, and said calmly:

"The Xiao family's residence is not in Rike City, but in Pingwangsui - Xiao Yan, you have come to the wrong place."
