Chapter 17: The Great Wall Guards
"Mulan, I didn't expect that demon clan to speak human language, it turns out that it is true that they caught people to learn human language, and they evolved so fast!" Kaidao.
"Yes, their sneak attack on the city wall at night is like a detective, more like a scheming, a planned temptation. It can be seen that the wisdom of their leaders is not weaker than that of us humans. "Mulan Road.
"In this way, sooner or later, the demons will have a large-scale attack on the Great Wall?" Kay's face was full of anxiety.
"We're going to need to step up our detectives, patrols, and defenses." Magnolia Road.
"The spy of the demons seems to have found the weak link of the Great Wall, we should distinguish and defend it, and we are going to start a new round of conscription and weaponry. But the most tricky thing for us now is the military salary, the empress has been using troops in the Western Regions for many years, resulting in insufficient military pay for us, but she doesn't know that the biggest danger is not in the Western Regions, in fact, it is north of the Great Wall! Kai is not worry-free.
"Let's follow Lord Gao's instructions first, and euthanize that demon as soon as possible, in case it will be troublesome if we break free from the chain. Then we met with him again and asked him to ask the court to pay us a military salary. "Mulan Road.
"Well, okay, let's go." Kaidao.
Suddenly, the blue sword hanging from Kai's waist reflected a dazzling blue light, and gradually fell silent again.
"Why has your sword been shining like this lately, and then it has dimmed again?" When Mulan saw this situation, she was not surprised, but she was accustomed to it.
"I don't know, it's usually when I'm fighting that it glows blue. Why is my mood so calm, and so is it? Actually, I'm curious too. Kai was filled with weirdness inside, and his hand kept touching his sword.
"Haha, people say that when someone misses another person, the person being missed will have hot ears. Could it be that your sweetheart is thinking about you? Mulan joked.
"Haha, that's the way to say, the person who misses me, it shouldn't be you, right?" Kai laughed back.
"Kai, maybe it's your clansmen who want to get in touch with you in this way, can't you remember more about the past?" Mulan Road.
"Maybe it's really possible, but about the past, I can only vaguely remember when I was a child." Kai sighed.
"Don't be discouraged, maybe one day you'll remember it all." Mulan comforted.
"Well, let's go, then." Kaidao.
A burly middle-aged man approached them quickly on a brown horse.
"Captain, go and take a look, the captured demon clan, after a night's rest, the blood veins became spurted, and suddenly became infinitely powerful, and the iron chains were about to be broken by it."
"Captain Su, what you said is true?" Kaidao.
"yes, we shot several crossbows at it, as if it didn't feel anything, and it was still struggling desperately." Su Lie said.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Mulan Road.
The three of them drove their horses and spurred them on.
When the three approached, the soldiers with spears around them dodged a way.
I only saw the branches and leaves of the towering tree trembling, the surrounding birds screamed, and the monster under the tree that was bound by the round iron rope roared hoarsely, and the body continued to break free from the shackles of the iron chains, and the iron chains collided with each other and made a crisp roar, the monster seemed to lose its reason, and the place where it was bound, the iron chains were about to enter the skin, and it was still arrogantly breaking free.
"Captain, find a way to get rid of it, otherwise the chain will really be broken, and it will be troublesome!" Su Lie said anxiously.
"Kai, you take someone to prepare the largest model of spear crossbow, pierce its heart, euthanasia is almost impossible, go and prepare!" Mulan.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Kai agreed, turning the horse's head.
In a few moments, ten soldiers surrounded a huge spear and ballista cart, slowly pushing towards a distance of ten meters from the monster.
Mulan ordered the soldiers, aiming at the heart, to fire two spears in a row.
The spear and crossbow roared out along the catapult track on the string frame, and in an instant it pierced the monster's heart, nailing it alive to the tree, and the monster let out a miserable roar, followed by another shot, hitting the left side of the chest. The roar of the demon gradually calmed down, its limbs stopped moving, and its eyes, which were as large as lamps, became godless and void, and gradually closed.
When everyone let down their guard and thought that the monster would surely die. The monster suddenly opened its eyes, pulled out two spears and crossbows with both hands, squatted down and bent its legs, and leaped forward suddenly, and the iron chain suddenly broke.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene. However, the monster rushed towards the crowd like a wind, and with one hand he raised a soldier who had time to escape, and bit off half of his head in one bite, splashing blood and brains in all directions.
The crowd began to drop their weapons and scatter for their lives. The monsters slaughtered in all directions in the crowd, some had their arms ripped off, some had their chests torn open, and some had their legs torn off, and the scene was once miserable, bloody, and chaotic.
Mulan immediately organized the soldiers, lined up the camp, surrounded the monster, and approached the center little by little. However, the tightly organized camp is constantly being torn open and is about to fall apart.
Seeing Su Lie return to the barracks and take his natal weapon, the Honghuang Zhu, he roared, and the camp immediately made a gap for him. But seeing that, Su Lie jumped violently and smashed the pillar on top of the monster's head, and the monster suddenly staggered back a few steps.
Mulan saw the timing and threw out a short blade, which spun rapidly in front of the monster's eyes, like a magnificent painting.
Mulan used the Empty Crack Slash to quickly come to the monster's front and pull out the heavy sword behind her back, the monster was blocked by the flying blade in front of her, and Mulan took the opportunity to charge the heavy sword with all her strength. When the monster used both hands to remove the flying blade in front of him, he saw Mulan swing the heavy sword forward, and the monster's head was suddenly cut off by the sword qi, and the huge body fell backwards.
At this moment, everyone's frightened hearts fell into their stomachs.
"What, the monster broke free from the iron lock, how could it have so much strength?!" Gao Changgong exclaimed.
"The demons have now not only learned the human language, but they are also good at using stratagem, and the most frightening thing is that they have evolved so fast that ordinary spears and crossbows have no effect on them. I suggest that you apply for military pay from the imperial court as soon as possible, recruit troops, and then go to Jixia Academy to invite a master of the organ to help us build a vitality cannon to stop the attack of the demons soon. "Mulan Road.
"Tomorrow, I will go to Chang'an in person and tell the empress." Gao Chang said respectfully.
